There are 15 gallon fermenters called Demi Johns. They are primarily used with wine and sit in
a basket. Looks like they are hard to find though.

Belgians Walter Verdin, Hilde van Roy and Dett Peyskens released this song Wavin in 1983. Search Pas De Deux as they have some other interesting songs.
“Pas De Deux represented Belgium for the 1983 edition of the Eurovision Song Contest. The mainstream audience did not understand this unconventional song (a simple tune and just one line of text: ‘Rendez-vous. Maar de maat is vol, en mijn kop is toe’). The band ended third from last. Nonetheless ‘Rendez-Vous’ became a big summer hit in Belgium that year. Pas De Deux released one mini-album and a couple of singles.” – discogs.com

For non-binary visitors, however, internet dating programs – which are often designed across gender binary – could be complicated, or even downright exhausting.
In recent years, some software need experimented with make programs more comfortable for non-binary everyone. Tinder began experimenting with permitting consumers to choose from nearly 40 gender choices in November 2016 (ranging from transfeminine to agender and pangender) before fully running the function out internationally as of July 2020. Hinge and Bumble, as well, posses launched several sex solutions within the last couple of years.
This type of posts haven’t been plain-sailing if you aren’t cis. In 2019, Pink reports reported that trans consumers were continuously becoming prohibited from Tinder after updating their gender to “trans”. This looked like because potential fits happened to be reporting all of them with no reasons, and lots of trans people at that time said to get zero response from Tinder whenever they attempted to fix the matter.
Non-Binary Visitors Inform Us Why They Want Appropriate Acceptance
Tinder’s a reaction to pinkish Development was actually fairly non-committal. “We understand the transgender neighborhood faces difficulties on Tinder, like getting unfairly reported by possible matches more frequently than all of our cisgender members,” a spokesperson said in a statement. “This try a multifaceted, complex concern so we are working to continuously improve their experience.”
Usually, there are more roadblocks for non-binary men and women making use of these software. On Tinder, Hinge and Bumble, after picking your gender, you may be then requested whether you wish to be contained in pursuit of “men” or “women”, which efficiently causes one to decide anyway.
Tao, a non-binary people, states that getting expected what gender they wanted to be revealed alongside “pissed myself down a great deal!” They downloaded Hinge since it was basically suggested in their eyes by their own queer and genderqueer family. “however I noticed this question. It’s such an unusual method of inquiring, in essence, exactly what genitals have you got.”
Whenever VICE hit out over Hinge, they mentioned that this was an issue these were doing, declaring: “We definitely see the issue about non-binary people being able to customize their own potential fits predicated on their sex,” they blogged. “At the moment, the audience is doing constructing a refreshed matching experiences that will develop a more comprehensive, enjoyable and safe experience that finally cause significant affairs.”
Many non-binary folk decide not to ever reveal her sex on software whatsoever, instead choosing “man” or “woman”. This could be for various factors. Izzy, that is in addition non-binary, states, “I don’t need that is all that somebody is targeted on. I’ve come out to individuals, then they occasionally spend entire nights asking me every matter in the sunshine about my identity. Everyone see you since the educator, but we don’t possess power for that. I just wanna chill.”
Services Sucks, Particularly When Individuals Get Your Pronouns Wrong
Julian, who is genderqueer, furthermore picks never to in the beginning reveal their unique gender identification on most platforms. “I am not afraid therefore, but I respond arranged in the event they puts individuals down,” they clarify. “Luckily, we commonly accommodate with individuals who seems sympathetic to trans and non-binary people in any event. If I read any personal cause inside their bio I’m like ‘OK, you seem reasonably woke, which is comforting, you’re most likely not a dickhead.”
Also on PrzejdЕє tutaj software designed for the LGBTQ neighborhood, non-binary someone can often feel just like an afterthought. Grindr industries alone because earth’s largest social networking app for “gay, bi, trans and queer people”. However, in practice, Grindr feels intended for the homosexual men community. You’ll be able to enter personalized alternatives for gender, however they are unable to filter people in this manner. Instead, you could select “tribes” – like “Otter”, “Bear”, and “Twink” (terminology usually employed by gay males to explain system types and hairiness). Really the only “tribe” that defines gender character try “trans”, without having any specific mention of the non-binary.
Some trans folk get the “tribe” features useful, particularly for locating some other trans customers. But, as Julian highlights, it is a feature with which has lots of possibility abuse. “In my opinion the way that group continue Grindr especially to find trans people [can getting] predatory. I’d anybody query myself easily would cross-dress and permit them to fuck myself. First of all: we don’t cross-dress. Second, I’m perhaps not probably let you fetishize me. They performedn’t appear to respect myself as someone, they simply tried to objectify me personally.”
I’ve truly got negative activities on Grindr, as well. I say during my biography that We determine as non-binary, but nonetheless get lots of information beginning with “Hey, man”. I am aware that app is certainly caused by utilized by cis gay males and therefore in my own images i will be masc-presenting, nonetheless it merely requires a second to read a bio. Upon advising people that I prefer to not ever end up being described as a “man”, lots of people just who in the beginning seemed enthusiastic would possibly get peaceful, stop me personally, or even in one specially terrible case, threaten myself with sexual assault.
This type of dangers happened to be disconcerting for on Grindr, when I could notice that it had been sent from an individual who was only 400 yards away. The application is rather special because you aren’t needed to match with somebody before chatting all of them, and it’s really easy to understand how long away men and women are away from you. This makes it better to find potential hook-ups, but it addittionally substantially advances the prospect of misuse. When two in five non-binary folks have practiced a hate crime or experience during the area of a year, these risks can feel very real.
Most non-binary people have located alternatives to standard dating programs entirely. Izzy wasn’t utilizing apps after all: “The method I’ve regarding men is by joining on line organizations. I’ve signed up with a queer stitching party, I’ve joined a non-binary, really, it’s not a therapy group it style of is actually,” people say. “I’d instead do stuff that’s organized versus aimlessly talking to someone on software. I have found it is simpler to talk to folk because there is some thing in common.” | <urn:uuid:f9f70cb4-ebeb-407f-8151-4d68b91a1a71> | CC-MAIN-2023-06 | https://gendermodule.oxfamindia.org/however-these-are-typically-you-have-to-distill/ | 2023-02-09T08:59:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-06/segments/1674764501555.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20230209081052-20230209111052-00707.warc.gz | en | 0.967024 | 1,502 |

A NEAR two-ton female great white shark dubbed a “true queen of the ocean” has been captured by a team of marine biologists off the coast of Nova Scotia.
The massive great white shark, which is the largest of its kind was found in the northwest Atlantic – measuring more than 17-feet long and weighing over 3,500 pounds.
In a recent video posted on Facebook by the non-profit research organization OSEARCH, expedition leader Chris Fischer dubbed the giant shark a “true matriarch of the sea.”
“She’s probably 50-years-old and certainly her first litters of pups she would have been having 30 years ago are also making babies,” Fischer said in the video.
“It’s really humbling to stand next to a large animal like this.”
In a separate video, Fischer claimed the shark has likely reproduced around 15 times in her life - meaning she could have had as many as 100 offspring in her lifetime and is likely already a grandmother.
The team of scientists have been on a month-long expedition near Nova Scotia to tag great white sharks and take cell and blood samples to better understand the population’s migration patterns through the North Atlantic.
The team has named the massive shark Nukumi after “a legendry wise grandmother figure” from the Native American Mi’kmaq people, whose ancestral lands include Nova Scotia, according to the Facebook post.
“When you look at all the healed-over scars and blotches and things that are on her skin, you’re really looking at the story of her life, and it makes you feel really insignificant,” Fischer said in the video.
“She would be a proper, true matriarch of the ocean, a grandmother of sharks.”
After collecting their samples from Nukumi the researchers released her back into the ocean.
Great white sharks can live up to at least 60 years, according to the Smithsonian, though scientists are constantly learning new information about the king of the ocean.
Sharks are among earth’s oldest living animals, fossils of a creature believed to be the ancestor of the great white shark, Megalodon – is estimate to have lived more than 20 million years ago.
Most read in News
Another shark ancestor, Helicoprino, is believed to have swam the ocean nearly 290 million years ago, according to the Smithsonian.
On Monday, Fischer said they found two additional female great white sharks, which total nine sharks that the team of biologists have be able to sample and tag on the nearly month-long expedition.
He has called the trip “hugely successful” on “multiple levels.” | <urn:uuid:65fd0a1f-dead-41ae-b1a4-7eebc52abcb3> | CC-MAIN-2021-21 | https://www.the-sun.com/news/1608090/biggest-great-white-shark-nova-scotia/ | 2021-05-09T01:48:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-21/segments/1620243988953.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20210509002206-20210509032206-00441.warc.gz | en | 0.968806 | 572 |
Try the following: Reset a raw image in LR4 to adobe defaults (PV 2012), then set clarity to maximum and edit in photoshop (with ACR 6.7 installed) using photoshop itself to render the image.
Result: The edited image (with no changes made in PS) appears a lot brighter.
When rendering with lightroom, it looks exactly the same (as it is expected).
So, something is wrong with ACR 6.7 here. If one does not use clarity, but the other new tonal controls, there are similar effects, however not as severe as with clarity.
I use Win7 64 Bit, LR 4.0 and PS CS 5.1 (12.1), both 64 Bit, and ACR 6.7 RC.
Edit: Here are two sample images. First the one that was edited using "render with lightroom" - it appears exactly as the original edited image (with clarity +100):
And here the same image edited in PS CS 5.1 ACR 6.7 RC with "open anyway", i.e. rendered using ACR 6.7 RC: | <urn:uuid:f7ccffaf-0e8b-4bd7-b840-8f25e793b46e> | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | https://forums.adobe.com/message/4269094 | 2018-10-19T09:27:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-43/segments/1539583512382.62/warc/CC-MAIN-20181019082959-20181019104459-00073.warc.gz | en | 0.951508 | 236 |
Hidden Names of God
The Book of Esther which was read annually at Purim (one month before Passover) does have Godís name indicated in it in a secret manner. In two places the first letters of four words in the text spell out the name of God (the Tetragrammaton) and in two other places the last letters of four words spell out the same. But in another instance, the last letters of four words spell out the generic name of God "I Am." The first acrostic is found in Esther 1:20, the second in 5:4, the third in 5:13, the fourth in 7:7, and the fifth (the "I Am" acrostic) is in 7:5. These are all shown in Hebrew and English in Dr. Bullingerís Companion Bible, Appendix 60. The meaning of this is to show that God is always nearby even though we humans may not see him in an obvious sense. There are numerous acrostic designs in the Old Testament. For a rundown of them and to note their special significance, see my book The Original Bible Restored.

Hirschman, the poet laureate for S.F. I've known Jack for years
Jack in his poetry and their activism was tireless in working
for working people to better their lives in S.F. He put put his
body on the line illegally feeding the homeless for years. He supported Matt
Gonzalez, the Green Party candidate for Mayor who nearly won in
the last mayoral election.
Jack was head of a group of political pro-labor poets headquartered
at Cafe Trieste in North Beach, and an inspiration for many in California
--not just poets, but many young activists like the writer below.
As internationalist, he translated poems from many other languages
and was celebrated in Italy.
It was a surprise that a mainstream mayor Newsome appointed
Jack poet laureate, but his appointment was a victory for the
S.F. labor movement.
As poet laureate as he promised Jack brought
poetry to the people with readings in libraries across the cities
and supported labor poets with poetry competitions in each city council
districts. Two fine labor poets won in their council districts--David
Joseph and Alice Rugoff. Jack also kept his promise being an
internationalist by holding late July an International Poetry Festival
bringing in poets from around the world
\\Who is Jack Hirschman, Poet Laureate of San Francisco?
by Ken Werner, Trinity Plaza Tenants Association (TPTA)‚ Jan. 18‚ 2006
Last Thursday, 72-year-old San Franciscan Jack Hirschman was inaugurated as the fourth Poet Laureate of San Francisco, and several stories have already been written about Jack, but all have presented only a two-dimensional image of the real person. That Jack supported Matt Gonzalez for mayor, that he's lived an alternative lifestyle (the Chronicle story used "bohemian," a word that went out of style in the 1960s), that he's published numerous books -- all have been mentioned in the various accounts.
When our newest Poet Laureate speaks, his thick East Coast accent gives him away to reveal his New York roots, where he was born in 1933. Jack moved to San Francisco in 1973 after a brief university teaching career he left in the 1960s.
But who is Jack Hirschman?
Jack Hirschman is a passionate social justice activist who shares with his friends his warmth and affection. He opens his heart in discussions to share his feelings about the injustices of the world, and offers a hug when you greet him and a hug when he leaves.
As an active member of the League of Revolutionaries for a New America, he travels extensively for speaking engagements and to promote his plethora of published poetry, including several months a year which he spends in Europe. And wherever he goes, Jack is greeted as what one person describes "America's most important living poet."
Whenever I talk with Jack and the subject matter steers to poetry, Jack expresses his admiration for the three San Francisco Poet Laureates who preceded him, but he is most fond of 86-year-old Lawrence Ferlinghetti who he speaks of with reverence.
During last Thursday's press conference and inauguration, Jack described himself as follows in his acceptance speech:
"Philosophically, I am an internationalist who knows that neither homelessness and poverty globally and specifically here in San Francisco, which the Mayor is much concerned with, as well as war and street violence, will ever end until and unless the wealth of this world is re-distributed and/or appropriated for the benefit of all, according to our needs as human beings. All of my poetry and intellectual expression is in one way or another directed to that end. And since I believe that all human beings are poets in fact, and that the writing of a poem is the most powerful action given to humankind (because unbuyable and unsellable in essence, and because a child of 5 years and a man or woman of seventy years, in the act of writing a poem, evoke the equality that is love at the heart of the world), I write to unfold the future of that equality with all my brother and sister human beings."
Other accounts made note of Jack's insistence of and persistence in speaking out about the plight of the homeless, yet none of the accounts recalled Jack's reading of his 1987 poem simply called "Home," which he read at the inauguration. In case you missed the broadcast on SFGTV and you haven't read the piece, here it is in its entirety:
"Winter has come.
In doorways, in alleys, at the top
under cardboard, under rag-blankets
or, if lucky, in plastic sacks,
after another day of humiliation,
isolated, divided, penniless,
jobless, wheezing, dirty
skin wrapped around cold bones,
that's us, that's us in the USA,
hard concrete, cold pillow,
where fire? where drink?
damned stiffs in a drawer
soon if, and who cares?
shudders so intimate,
our hands finally closed in clench
after another day panhandling,
tongues hanging out;
dogs ate more today, are curled
at the feet of beds, can belch, fart,
have hospitals they can be taken to,
they'll come out of houses and sniff
us dead one day,
pieces of shit lying scattered here
in an American city
reknowned for its food and culture.
The concrete is our sweat hardened,
the bridge our vampirized blood;
the downtown, Tenderloin and Broadway lights --
our corpuscles transformed into ads;
our pulse-beat the sound tengtengendeng
of coins piling up on counters,
in phone booths, Bart machines, tengtengendeng
in parking meters, pinball contraptions,
public lavatories, toll booths;
our skin converted into dollar bills,
plastic cards, banknotes, lampshades
for executive offices, newspapers,
our heart -- the bloody organ the State
gobbles like a geek in a sideshow
that's become a national circus of the damned.
O murderous system of munitions and inhuman rights
that has plundered our pockets and dignity,
O enterprise of crime that calls us criminals,
terrorism that cries we are fearful,
greed that evicts us from the places we ourselves have built,
miserable war-mongery that sentences us to misery
and public exposure as public nuisances
to keep a filthy republic clean --
this time we shall not be disappeared
in innercity ghetto barrio or morgue,
this time our numbers are growing into battalions
of united cries:
We want the empty offices collecting dust!
We want the movie houses from midnite til dawn!
We want the churches opened 24 gods a day!
We built them. They're ours. We want them!
No more doorways, garbage-pail alleys,
no more automobile graveyards,
underground sewer slums.
We want public housing!
No more rat-pit tubing, burnt-out rubble-caves,
no more rain-soaked dirt in the mouth,
empty dumpster nightmares of avalanches of trash
and broken bricks,
screams of women hallucinating at Muni entrance gates,
no more kids with death-rattling teeth
under discarded tarp.
We want public housing!
we the veterans of your insane wars,
workers battered into jobless oblivion,
the factory young: fingers crushed into handout
on Chumpchange St.,
the factory old: spat-out phlegm from the sick
corporate chest of Profits.
Instead of raped respect, jobs
with enough to live on!
Instead of exile and eviction in this,
our home, our land,
Homeland once and for all
for one and all
and not just this one-legged cry
on a crutch on a rainy sidewalk.
(Copyright 2006 by Jack Hirschman)
When I talked with Jack on Thursday night, he noted that while the mayor may have stated he commends those who disagree with him, Jack and I disagreed on our perceptions of how the mayor deals with criticism. Jack feels the mayor easily deals with critiques, but it has been my experience that Mayor Newsom has great difficulty dealing with criticism, indeed, is incapable of understanding contentiousness and is taken aback when so confronted. But one thing Jack and I agreed on is that Newsom probably knows very little about poetry and hence his reliance on the senior William Newsom for advice on picking Jack for the position of Poet Laureate of San Francisco.
While the position is symbolic, Jack feels it is a tremendous honor and was and still is excited about representing San Francisco and feels the honor is a victory for working-class people of The City. Additionally, Jack leaked inside information to me that there might just be a possibility of him receiving a small honorarium for his position. And as Poet Laureate of San Francisco, Jack Hirschman wants to organize an International Poetry Festival of San Francisco and invite other social justice activists worldwide to participate. Jack's first thought for a location was the Palace of Fine Arts.

1. First I read "The Adam of Two Edens" edited and translated by Munir Akash and Daniel Moore which is a selected poems of the last two decades. The book has a wonderful introduction to Darwish's life and work. In this first book I read I was struck by how much Darwish is a poet of exile, or as he says an Adam expelled from the first Biblical Eden of long ago and then recently expelled from the Eden of Palestine during the 1948 war when he fled with his family as a young child. Since then his whole life has spent in exile, and he is great poet about being in exile. Darwish wrote poems of many exiles including a great sad lament about the Arabs leaving Spain long ago and another poem about Native American exile from the poem "Speech of the Red Man":
Don't kill the grass any more
It possess a soul in us that could
Shelter the soul of the earth
That image of Native Americans seeing the grass having a soul that shelters the earth is haunting.
I gaze upon the Persians, the Romans, the Sumerians,
and the new refugees, ....
I gaze upon my language.
A little absence is enough for Aeschylus to open the door to peace,
for Antonio to make a brief speech at the outbreak of war
for me to hold a woman's hand in my hand,
to embrace my freedom,
and for my body to begin its ebb and tie anew.
3. Now I'm reading "Unfortunately, It Was Paradise" a selected poems translated and edited by Munir Akash, Carolyn Forche with Sinan Antoon and Amira El-Zein which has selections of Darwish's poems with three poems from before 1986 to an long excerpt from his masterwork book "Mural" from 2000. In the introduction Akash and Forche tell us that after the young child Darwish and his family fled their village Birwe in 1948, the Israelis destroyed the village Birwe along with 416 Palestinian villages. Then Akash and Forche say that Darwish, without a country, made language his identity, a place where he makes meaning and recreates the lost homeland:
Who Am I? Thais is a question that others ask, but has no answer.
I am my language. I am an ode, two odes, ten. This is my language.
I am my language .... ("A Rhyme for the Odes" 91)
We travel like everyone else, but we return to nothing ...
Ours is a country of words. Talk. Talk. ("We Travel Like All People 11)
Reading these books enables me to bypass the stereotyped and cliched images of Palestinians in mass media and begin to touch at least one Palestinian who others consider their poet laureate.
I love his poems including "The Everlasting Fig" that is a dialogue between father and son, with the father taking the son "wherever the wind blows" but away from the "plains where Bonaparte's soldiers/erected a hill to watch the shadows on ancient Acre's hills." As the father flees with his son from the French invaders and all other invaders, the son asks, "Why have you left the horse alone?" and the father answers,
To keep the house company, O my son,
for houses perish if their inhabitants go away. ("The Everlasting Fig," 65).
So this father loved his house so very much that he left his precious horse to keep it company and keep it alive in the title of the book of poetry "Why Have You Left the Horse Alone," as the horse was never alone.
Anybody who's interested in the world should read Mahmoud Darwish. | <urn:uuid:46cf4008-b095-4fc9-af24-57aa4024859e> | CC-MAIN-2017-39 | http://californiawriter.blogspot.com.au/2007/08/ | 2017-09-24T19:25:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-39/segments/1505818690203.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20170924190521-20170924210521-00243.warc.gz | en | 0.95959 | 2,867 |
Texas State’s volleyball team began practice Saturday. Kind of.
The Bobcats have actually been together during the entire second summer session of classes, enabling the players to work informally during open gym sessions. So, even though the Bobcats have ten newcomers on their team, they’ve gotten a head start on practice.
“Our starting point is six weeks ahead of where we used to start,” Texas State associate head coach Tracy Smith said. “Now we’re able to start with volleyball and let them go immediately on day one. We’re just going to get so much farther this season because of where we’re starting now.”
Said senior middle blocer Ashlee Hilbun, “Our first practice was the best that it’s been in a long time. It’s real exciting to see where we’re going to get.”
The Bobcats will open their season at the end of August in the Delta Zeta Classic to be played at Strahan Coliseum. The Bobcats will play Lamar at 11:30 a.m. on Aug. 30, then Southern Methodist at 6:30 p.m. that same day. On Aug. 31, the Bobcats will play Quinnipiac at noon, then Houston at 6:30 p.m.
“The freshmen aren’t playing like freshmen, and it’s given us great depth at some positions,” Smith said. “They’ve done a good job this summer getting ready.”Email | Print | <urn:uuid:8b0d6352-7482-4335-b9cc-25d2ff5842c9> | CC-MAIN-2017-51 | http://smmercury.com/2013/08/12/texas-state-volleyball-opens-workouts/ | 2017-12-12T04:32:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-51/segments/1512948515165.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20171212041010-20171212061010-00614.warc.gz | en | 0.944105 | 330 |

Today's "You Get the Gist" is about nomophobia. And you have to listen to find out what it is. (There's a test for it in the show notes below...) I admit it. I have it. Not a severe case, but I'm as guilty as the next guy. So what follows is what it is and as always, what you can do about it. So now, you get the gist.
Here’s a test to see if you have it, created by Iowa State University.

If you are looking for a new project to start on your property this spring, then look no further. Start a rain garden! Rain gardens filter rainwater while providing a beautiful home for birds, butterflies, and other native wildlife. Not only are they beautiful, but rain gardens are also easy to maintain. Here are a few ways that you can get started with your rain garden today.
Choosing a Location
Pick a spot in your yard, at least ten feet from your home, that is a low spot or a depression in the ground. Clay soils work best for rain gardens because they slow down the absorption of water while still allowing it to drain. This is why Maryland is such a great place to build rain gardens; much of the soil is famous Maryland red clay.
Pick Your Plants
After you establish a location for your rain garden, you need to select some plants that will be best suited to this type of garden. Choose native plants that can tolerate wet conditions and try to plant seedlings instead of mature plants, as they are easier to establish. You can also incorporate some grasses, sedges, and rushes to about one-third of the rain garden, as these are great for water filtration because they have very deep root systems.
Choose a few marginal plants that you can plant on the edge of your rain garden. These plants need to tolerate both wet and dry conditions.
Make sure when you are planning your rain garden to plant your vegetation in large drifts for an even, greater overall impact. Mix up texture and color of foliage to keep things interesting. Make sure to read the labels on the plants to best understand where they should go and how they should be planted. Once you have done all that, water your rain garden and mulch the area.

The plotline for the MadTV spoof "Lords of the Bling" is largely the same as Lord of the Rings, except Frodo is played by Lil' Kim, and comedian Aries Spears impersonates Bill Cosby, portraying Randolph the Wizard. Forget an inscribed, mystical ring. It's up to these characters to demolish a wicked piece of bling. Spears, who was one of MadTV's longest-serving cast members, is known for his hilarious impersonations, from the bubbly TV personalities Bryant Gumbel and Al Roker to rap super stars Snoop Dogg, Jay Z and R. Kelly.
A diverse group of performers including Edwin San Juan, Momo Rodriguez, Eric Schwartz and Sherry Japhet will join Spears on the stage of the normally proper Morrison Center for International Language of Laughter, a kick-off event for this year's Boise Soul Food Extravaganza.
The lineup is diverse, ranging from former sketch comedy writer Momo Rodriguez to comedian and singer/songwriter Eric Schwartz, whose discography of blush-worthy songs include "Keep Your Jesus Off My Penis." San Juan, a Filipino American, is the creator and executive producer of the Showtime Asian-American stand-up comedian showcase SlantEd Comedy. People often confused San Juan as a Latino. He says he has come to accept the confusion and refers to Filipinos as "Chinese Mexicans." Local female comedian Sherry Japhet, who was a contestant on the short-lived Nickelodeon comedy competition The Search for the Funniest Mom in America, rounds out the lineup. And even though Japhet may be a mother, it would be best to leave the kiddies at home. The content these comedians are willing to tackle is far from child's play.

What is Text to Speech and how does it work?
Text-to-speech (TTS) also known as ‘speech synthesis’ or how to artificially or digitally re-create human speech from text refers to technology or software that converts written text into audio or sound. It was first developed to assist virtually impaired people to interact with technology as quickly as everyone else. Also, it used in schools as a learning aid.
Mobile devices and computers of all types can help one access text to speech capabilities.
How much does it cost to use text to speech?
One can access text-to-speech software and service freely on the internet.
Also, certain software providers also charge for their services which tend to offer higher level quality and services compared to the free text to speech systems.
Google Cloud offers paid text to speech services for $4 for every million characters. This is an affordable price for anyone in need of the paid for service.
Benefits of text to speech
1. Helps those who cannot read
Text-to-speech ably assists those who cannot read. For example, a child who cannot read a road sign. They can take a photo of the sign and post it on the text to speech pad. IF the text to speech can read or interpret images, it will in a short time provide audio or sound that explains the sign to the child.
2. Assists the visually impaired
Text-to-speech helps the visually impaired interact with technological devices such as mobile phones and computers independently. With these capabilities, visually impaired people can easily read and write text messages, work on their computers and make phone calls with little to no chance of error.
3. Helps enhance comprehension
When used as a learning aid, text-to-speech helps students learn and understand what they are learning quickly. When videos or images used in class coupled with text-to-speech, they keep the students alert and help them to understand more of what they read.
When watching videos online that are voiced by text to speech, one can both read and listen and thus understand more.
4. Assist in the use of mobile devices
Most people find that fonts of content on mobile devices are too small and difficult to read. Text-to-speech-enabled devices to eliminate the need to struggle through the small font and just listen to your content.
5. Put your content out to a larger audience
A visually impaired internet user has decided to sue the managers of Beyonce.com for lack of text-to-speech services that can enable a visually impaired person to navigate the website.
Those who cannot speak but can read can easily use text to speech services to communicate.

A. Just use the contact form in the menu! The best way to reach me is via email.

Q. Can I advertise with Photography Awesomesauce?
A. Sorry nope! I do not offer an advertising program. I am very particular about the quality of the products and services that I recommend to my readers and therefore the companies I do recommend on my website are ones I have personally used. Many of those companies have an affiliate program I use to help pay to keep the lights on around here. Some companies I also contract with as an ambassador or sponsor of their products. Again, I do not talk about products that I don’t use or wouldn’t recommend to readers. I also don’t advertise for companies for free either, even if you’re just looking for a simple link in a blog post. If you want to work with me on a sponsor, brand ambassador, or affiliate basis, please email, and we can discuss further.
Q. Do you accept guest blog posts?
A. Yes, but only exclusive content created for Photography Awesomesauce. Content must be educational and about the business of wedding photography. Please don’t bother emailing me telling me you’ve written a post you think my readers would love…blah blah blah…and it’s filled with marketing links for crap I don’t like. I am NOT interested in that kind of proposal. Our guest blogger program is for educators writing unique content. It works on a submission basis. You can submit your content, and if it’s accepted, then it’ll go live on a scheduled date. To find out more about the guest blogger program visit the guest blogger submission page.
Q. I love your blog and would like to share an article of yours with readers of my blog? How can I do this?

Blog articles and all content at Photographyawesomesauce.com is copyrighted. If you’d like to share, please do with only a link to credit to our website. Copying and pasting our blog articles to your site violates copyright law and the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). When I find other sites copying my content directly to their platform, I do handle this legally by asking for the content to be removed. Failure to do so will result in further legal action.

About Our Products
Q. Does a lawyer review your photography contracts?
A. Yes! There are lots of opportunities to purchase contracts online from all different types of resources. I think a basic contract should be affordable and reviewed by a practicing lawyer. Sure, you could buy contracts from someone with a law degree, but unless they’ve been in practice for many years, they won’t have the experience that an experienced practicing contractual lawyer does at evaluating a contract. My contracts are the exact ones I use for my very own business. A practicing contractual lawyer based in Colorado reviews them. Regardless, I strongly recommend that no matter where you decide to purchase contracts you have your lawyer review them to ensure they are right for your state, city, county, or even your country and ensure that they will hold up in the courts of your location. Contracts should also be reviewed to ensure they are specific to your business type as well. Purchasers of contracts at Photography Awesomesauce also agree to the Terms of Service.
Q. I can’t get my products to download, help?
A. There are many reasons your download may not work. When you click the download link in your email, sometimes the files download automatically and land in a “downloads” folder on your computer. Check there to see if there’s anything you missed before emailing. If you still can’t get your files to download, please email me, and I’ll do the best I can to help during business hours. If all else fails, I’ll renew your download link so you can try again.
Q. What file types are your products?
A. All of our contracts are Word documents so they can be edited, copied and pasted into another format or customized to your needs. You will need word processing software to open these documents. Software like “Word Pad” has been known to cause glitches with regular Word documents, but you can get free software like Open Office if you have no other options.
Q. I purchased some digital downloads and have not received them yet. Where are they?
A. Provided your payment goes through all products are digitally delivered to you within minutes of finishing your order. If you do not receive an email with your products, please be sure to check your junk or spam folders. Often missing products are hiding in there since the email arrives from a place your email address doesn’t recognize and contains multiple links. That causes many email companies to categorize our emails as spam. Sometimes your product may arrive in another email address if your account email and Paypal email address are not the same. Check all your email addresses!
Another mistake is having an old email address associated with your Paypal address. Unless you specify otherwise, your digital products will arrive at your Paypal email address. If you don’t have access to it, you’ll want to change it as soon as possible.
If all else fails, it could be you misspelled your email address when ordering. Don’t worry. It happens to the best of us. Just email me, and I’ll sort it out for you during business hours.
Q. Do you mentor other photographers?
A. I used to, but now I’ve put all my useful educational content to work in online courses that you can watch and download on your own time. Plus it’s more affordable! | <urn:uuid:c34545c3-6cd4-4cf2-bd32-ebd0777e9206> | CC-MAIN-2017-17 | http://photographyawesomesauce.com/faq/ | 2017-04-27T03:13:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-17/segments/1492917121865.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20170423031201-00268-ip-10-145-167-34.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.948223 | 1,515 |
I was recently involved in a brief twitter conversation which started when Mike Sutton tweeted:
estimation is not about the number that pops out. It is about exploring effort and discovering that you don’t know stuff.
Paul Dyson responded:
spot on! This is fundamentally what I don’t like about the kanban “if people find estimation hard, don’t make them do it” mantra.
Which is where I jumped in:
where did you hear that “kanban mantra”? Not one I’m familiar with.
Only to be told:
err, it was actually in the talk you gave at mini-Spa!
Since then, Paul has blogged some more on estimation, and this is my response, hopefully clearing up what I said, or at least meant to say at mini-Spa, in addition to what I’ve already written on estimation and waste.
A simple summary and paraphrasing of Paul’s post would be:
Estimation, as part of time-box planning, leads to whole team interaction and collaboration, to create learning about past capability and forecasts of future capability
Lets start by drilling into these key points from Paul’s post. Essentially the implication is that by eschewing iteration, we cannot have whole team interaction and collaboration, cannot learn about past capability and cannot forecast future capability.
Whole team interaction and collaboration
I can think of 3 ways a team a whole team can interact and collaborate around planning a new piece of work without estimating in a time-box planning meeting:
- Cadence. The team agrees a cadence at which they will all get together to collaboratively plan new work. This planning cadence looks at what new items the team may be able to pull, given their current work-in-process, rather than estimating what items they may be able to complete.
- Workflow. The team explicitly models their workflow to make transparent that fact that they need to get together to plan new pieces of work when they are pulled. This stage could be a stage called “Planning”, or even ”Analysis”!
- Just do it! When the team pulls a new work item, they spontaneously swarm on it to plan it. This probably requires a small and high performing team.
Even so, this is assuming the whole team really does need to interact and collaborate on every piece of work. However, not every piece of work is equal, and there may be some smaller, simpler features that can be planned and delivered by a smaller group.
Create learning about past capability
We can learn about our past capability by measuring data such as cycle time, and tracking it with a Statistical Process Control chart. Common cause variation is to be expected within a stable system. However, special cause variation is something we can look at in more detail to see what we can learn (as long as we don’t change the system in response to special cause variation).
Forecast future capability
Once we understand our past (or current) capability we can use that information to forecast future capability. By understanding how long things have typically taken in the past (with natural variability) we can determine how long things will take in the future (with natural variability). Dennis Stevens has recently written some great posts discussing knowing when we will be done, using classes of service and service level agreements to manage variability.
So kanban teams do not eschew estimation simply because it is hard. Some teams choose not to estimate because they can realise the same benefits that estimation gives with a lower cost. The old joke does still apply (“Doctor, Doctor it hurts when I do this”, “Don’t do that then”). If it hurts to estimate, then find other ways to encourage whole team interaction and collaboration, learn about past capability and forecast future capability. On the other hand, if estimation doesn’t hurt, or costs too much, then it may be the right thing to do in your context.
What I think we do agree on is that when we are planning, we should decompose work for understanding, rather than sizing (thanks to Eric Willeke for this phrasing). As Mike says, the estimate is just a number that pops out of the discovery. | <urn:uuid:8fadd773-c01c-49a4-b60c-7c4b7fa099b7> | CC-MAIN-2014-52 | http://availagility.co.uk/2010/07/14/does-a-kanban-system-eschew-estimation/ | 2014-12-20T22:55:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-52/segments/1418802770415.113/warc/CC-MAIN-20141217075250-00060-ip-10-231-17-201.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.945916 | 887 |

Free betting blocker programming may be exactly what you really wanted, assuming you need to self-prohibit from betting on the web.
That is on the grounds that with regards to issue betting, it’s smarter to take a stab at all that you can to prevent yourself from betting instead of simply attempting one thing more than once, trusting that it begins working sometime in the not so distant future.
Issue betting is a major issue. You may not understand how genuine it is until you experience the ill effects of it yourself.
Nonetheless, arrangements like a betting blocker free can assist with the enslavement by guaranteeing that you don’t burn through all you have at a Gambling club.
It’s an incredible initial step to take once you understand you have an issue.
Club Self-Exclusion Option
The principal thing we would regularly propose in case you’re playing at an on the web or versatile club or two is club self-rejection.
Dissimilar to free Betting Site blocker applications, it’s a square gave straightforwardly from the gambling club.
This kind of self-rejection can be brief, for a couple of months or a long time, or it tends to be long-lasting.
In any case, you’d need to self-reject from each and every club independently, on the grounds that it just arrangements with that specific gambling club site or administrator, best case scenario.
Nonetheless, this technique isn’t continually working. That is the reason individuals regularly search for other programming and elective ways of utilizing betting site blocker-free.
Why It Doesn’t Always Work
In the event that you truly need to bet, there’s nothing to prevent you from tracking down another web-based club, making a record, and setting aside another installment.
Regardless of whether you’ve self-barred yourself from 10 distinct destinations, there are simply such a large number of them for this to be pretty much as compelling as free web-based betting blocker would be.
Dislike a self-rejection at a genuine club – there are just so many in your space, so you can securely demand to be prohibited from them all. If by some stroke of good luck, it worked like that on the web.
It Doesn’t Impede You Altogether
Then again, self-avoidance probably won’t help regardless of whether you contact the portable Gambling club and request it.
In more than one site, players have been getting email extra arrangements and other advertising messages after the rejection.
As you can envision, this doesn’t assist with battling the betting inclination by any means.
What’s more terrible, rejected individuals have once in a while figured out how to make optional records at a similar club and keep betting. Something could never occur with a free betting blocker for portable.
Club are getting fined for a particularly futile assistance, and keeping in mind that they merit it, this doesn’t take care of the issue.
That is the place where Betting blocker programming, free or paid, needs to come in.
Betting Blocker For Free
There’s more than one betting blocker free download choice to consider, and there are many paid choices to hinder yourself too.
Presently, in case you’re somewhere down in issue betting, odds are you don’t actually have any cash to save.
On the brilliant side, some betting site blocker-free projects are similarly just about as powerful as the paid ones.
So you can basically attempt the free programming first and perceive how it goes. On the other hand, you can attempt a betting blocker free preliminary.
However, we’d, in any case, say that limitless free choices are smarter to attempt from the beginning.
In the rest of this article, we’ll provide you with a couple of instances of a free betting locales blocker you can utilize.
Free Android Gambling Blocker: Qustodio
Free android betting blocker qustodioQustodio is our free betting blocker for Android of decision.
It’s really accessible as a web-based betting blocker free for iPad and even Mac OS as well, yet we’ll adhere to the Android clients on this one.
Qustodio is a parental control programming that is among the best-paid answers for hindering betting locales, and you get it for nothing to use on a solitary gadget, which is actually what you wanted.
Square Casinos, Games, and Adds
You can utilize it yourself and square every one of the club and betting destinations on work area or portable.
You should simply request somebody to assist you with setting it up and compose a secret word without letting you know it.
Thusly, you will not have the option to get to any gambling club in any event when you need to.
Qustodio free betting blocker Android can be used to hinder applications and games outside of genuine club, which covers club games which don’t utilize genuine cash.

At last, for a betting blocker Android free, Qustodio is truly adaptable, so you can set it to obstruct precisely what you really wanted and keep it imperceptible in any case.
Free Apple Gambling Blocker: GamBan
Free Mac betting blocker gamban Gamban free web betting blocker is our top pick for the individuals who use Apple gadgets, including iPhones, iPads, and work areas with Mac working frameworks.
It’s additionally a free betting blocker MAC programming that is recommended by GamCare — one of the super authority associations battling against issue betting in the UK.
Once more, it’s accessible on most different frameworks, so on the off chance that you don’t utilize Apple gadgets, that is no issue, all things considered.
Squares Gambling Sites Non-Intrusively
While another free betting blocker download may hinder essentially everything identified with betting, GamBan isn’t as severe. All things considered, it just squares the betting locales.
This implies that you can in any case visit different locales with betting substances like ads and such.
On one hand, it may very well be more hard to stay away from the inclination, however then again, you may improve quicker.
All things considered, you will not have the option to stay away from gambling club plugs and different triggers until the end of time.
On the off chance that you free download a betting blocker, you can have confidence that betting on that gadget will become unthinkable for you.
To guarantee that this free betting site blocker functions as planned, however, have another person set it up for you.
Any other way, you would have the option to turn it off or uninstall rather without any problem. Be that as it may, when you don’t have the approval and the secret key, there’s no other viable option for you. | <urn:uuid:b4b34a39-2ce3-4c19-9947-892ac7b98dea> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://topbestantivirussoftware.com/anti-gambling-software/ | 2022-10-06T19:20:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337855.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20221006191305-20221006221305-00072.warc.gz | en | 0.922091 | 1,487 |
Y'ever find yourself daydreaming about what it might be like to stroll through the House on Niebolt Street from Stephen King's It? Sure, guaranteed doom awaits in the basement, and yeah, there's a very untoward leper hanging around the grounds, but still: the interior can't be all bad, can it?
OK, fine, maybe it can.
Thanks to the good folks behind Andy Muschietti's It, anyone in Los Angeles between August 14th and September 10th can stroll on down to Hollywood and Vine and experience the House on Niebolt Street for themselves in something they're calling The It Experience.
What precisely does that entail? According to the website...
"The house will be open to the public daily August 14th - September 10th from 1pm-11pm. Admission is free. Those who are 18 and over are welcome (at their own risk) to step inside the two story replica of 'where IT lives'. Guests will be guided by "Georgie" through the 5,000 sq. foot house and will venture room by room through immersive film inspired scenes complete with authentic set props. "Losers Club" groups of 7 will journey through a 20 minute experience encountering pneumatic surprises, live actors, animatronic beings, and state of the art lighting, audio, and video."
Whoa, a 20-minute It-themed experience loaded with live actors, pneumatic surprises and animatronic beings? That sounds like a sure-fire way to have a full-blown panic attack in public, and I'm legitimately jealous of anyone who's able to undertake that adventure (our own Brian Collins is looking into making the trip himself, so stay tuned for some possible coverage from the frontlines in the not-so-distant future).
Are you in the Los Angeles area? Think you'll give The It Experience a go? Sound off in the comments below.

I had planned a lovely long run this morning without the ipod, but it was not to be. Instead my hubby led me astray last night with anniversary vino, and a big plate of cheese. I could not resist even though I knew it would knock my running ability.
So instead of getting in the car and driving to the local beauty spot this morning I ended up cramming in the Stepping Stones podcast before work. I thought it would be an utter disaster. After all I had a hangover, and really didn't feel like running. Just shows how wrong you can be.
It was great to be listening to Laura again, and I really enjoyed the music. So upbeat for a Sunday morning. I thought the pace was going to be hard as I felt out of breath in the warm up but once I got going it felt about right. In fact everything felt right, the pace, the music, my body. Dare I tempt fate and say I actually found todays run easy? Maybe it was my post graduation high, or maybe the red C25K graduation t-shrit I was sporting. Either way I wish every run was that enjoyable.
I am a bit worried though. I only have one more run before I'm away with work for a few days. It will be longest I've gone without running since July. I can't run while away and I'm scared I fall off the running wagon. | <urn:uuid:e4ba3532-e461-43ad-b1c4-14cffe5b88a4> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://healthunlocked.com/couchto5k/posts/497203/1st-run-post-graduation?responses | 2020-08-06T19:19:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439737019.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20200806180859-20200806210859-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.98696 | 293 |

Pro Bono Honor Roll
Open Letter to the 2018 Capital Pro Bono Honor Roll Registrants from Chief Judge Anna Blackburne-Rigsby and Chief Judge Robert Morin
On behalf of the District of Columbia Courts, in partnership with the D.C. Access to Justice Commission and the D.C. Bar Pro Bono Center, we want to express our profound appreciation to each of you who qualified for recognition on the 2018 Capital Pro Bono Honor Roll. As you may know, since 2011 the Courts have recognized attorneys who have contributed fifty hours or more of pro bono work to those who cannot afford legal counsel. As Chief Judges, we are acutely aware of the severe hardships faced by low-income individuals who all too frequently must represent themselves in proceedings in the DC Courts, often when the opposing party is represented. We salute you for using your talents and expertise to help those unable to afford an attorney, to ensure that they too have equal access to justice. Your compassion and dedication, as evidenced by your pro bono service, have helped to level the playing field.
Each year we are deeply moved by the incredible number of registrants for the Capital Pro Bono Honor Roll and this year a new record was achieved. In 2018, 5,095 attorneys registered for the Honor Roll, with 3,047 providing one hundred hours or more of pro bono service and thus qualifying for the High Honor Roll. It is deeply gratifying to see that the DC Bar members’ commitment to pro bono service spans across all different aspects of practice. The 2018 Honor Roll members represent all sectors of our diverse legal community, hailing from 168 law firms and individual practices, as well as federal and local government agencies, corporations, associations, law schools and public interest organizations.
We are tremendously proud of the robust tradition of pro bono service by attorneys in the District of Columbia. We applaud those who embrace their ethical obligation, as contained in Rule 6.1 of the D.C. Rules of Professional Conduct, to perform at least fifty hours of pro bono work annually (or to contribute to organizations that provide legal representation to those unable to afford counsel). The District of Columbia is fortunate to have a truly extraordinary cadre of legal services organizations whose attorneys work tirelessly every day to make access to justice a reality. Because of the severity and urgency of the need, the dedicated work of pro bono counsel is simply indispensable to our civil justice system. It will take all of us, working together, to make our civil justice system truly accessible to all.
Thank you for answering – and in many cases exceeding – the call to service embodied by Rule 6.1. We know that your service is based not only from a commitment to your ethical obligations but also on your principled belief in equal access to justice. We are proud to recognize your dedication by the addition of your name to this year’s Capital Pro Bono Honor Roll.

"Due to serious and current information, Munich Police warn of a terrorist attack int he area of Munich," police headquarters said in a statement, according to BNO News. "Munich police are urgently appealing for the population to, for the time being, to keep this in mind and to avoid large crowds and train stations."
The statement also says that authorities are working to identify potential suspects.
The evacuation applies to the city's main terminal, as well as the Pasing railway station. According to a police spokeswoman speaking to ABC News, authorities received hints of a possible bomb attack, though nothing suspicious has been found at this time.
It remains unclear if the city will cancel any New Year's festivities.
Cities across the world are on high alert following the terrorist attacks in Paris in November.

The Mac version of Skype has a security vulnerability that allows remote chatters to gain control of a system, an Australian security firm announced Friday. Skype said it quietly released an on-demand update for the bug last month and will push out a larger update next week that will also include the fix.
A Skype representative told Macworld that the bug affects version 5 of Skype for Mac, but not earlier versions. The vulnerability was discovered by Gordon Maddern of security research firm Pure Hacking.
"The long and the short of it is that an attacker needs only to send a victim a message and they can gain remote control of the victim's Mac," Maddern wrote in a blog post. "It is extremely wormable and dangerous."
According to Skype, any attack that exploited it would involve sending a maliciously crafted message to someone on the attacker's Skype Contact List. The flaw does not affect Windows or Linux users, Skype Chief Information Security Officer Adrian Asher wrote in a blog post on the issue.
Skype said it will push out an update to its Skype for Mac software early next week, which means that all Mac users should be offered the fix within days.
But security-conscious people can already download a "hotfix" version, 22.214.171.1242, that Skype released on April 14. However, to date, Skype hasn't pushed out a notification of this patch out to its users. The company's blog post said that because "there were no reports of this vulnerability being exploited in the wild, we did not prompt our users to install this update."
Skype users who want the fix right now can click on Skype -> Check for Updates, or they can download the latest update from Skype's website. All Skype 5 users for Mac will be prompted to upload a larger update that includes the fix early next week.

On July 8, 1879, amid cheering crowds, the U.S.S. Jeannette, a three-masted former British navy gun vessel specially adapted for Arctic waters, set sail from San Francisco for the Bering Strait.
Its mission, Hampton Sides writes in The Kingdom of Ice: The Grand and Terrible Voyage of the U.S.S. Jeannette, was bold—to make the United States the first nation to reach the North Pole.
Bankrolled by James Gordon Bennett, Jr., owner of the New York Herald—the Rupert Murdoch of his day—the expedition would not only announce America's arrival on the world stage but also sell a lot of newspapers.
But it wasn't to be. "Nipped" in the ice just north of the 75th parallel and the remote New Siberian Islands, the Jeannette eventually sank to the bottom of the sea, taking with it the dream of planting the Stars and Stripes at the top of the world.
What had begun as a patriotic mission now became a story of endurance, leadership, and survival in horrific circumstances, as the men trekked a thousand miles across the frozen wastes of the Arctic to Siberia.
Here, Sides—editor at large with Outside magazine—tells us how the discovery of a box of letters in an attic fired his imagination; that Gordon Bennett liked to race horses in the nude; how the ethics of journalism influenced exploration; and how, one day, he dreams of finding the U.S.S. Jeannette and bringing her home.
The story of the U.S.S. Jeannette's doomed voyage to the North Pole is a long-forgotten saga. What made you dig it out of the permafrost?
I actually first found out about it by virtue of writing a story for National Geographic about the great Norwegian explorer Fridtjof Nansen. There is a museum dedicated to him and his vessel, the Fram, in Oslo. While I was there, I kept seeing references to the U.S.S. Jeannette and to the American explorer George Washington De Long.
I said: Wow! What is this thing? I'm an American, but I've never heard of this before. So I filed that away as a good journalist should and started burrowing slowly but surely into the primary material when I got home. What I found was this amazing story, which was a sensation in its time but had somehow slipped between the cracks of history.
You spent three years researching and writing the book. Were there any eureka moments in the research?
There were a couple of them. One was early on when I tracked down a distant relative of the commander, Captain De Long, in Connecticut. She was an elderly woman who said something historians dream of: "It's funny you called, because I have a trunk full of old letters that I found in the attic, and I don't know what to do with them. Maybe you'd want to come look at them."
Did I ever! I immediately flew to Connecticut to check them out and discovered they were the personal papers of Captain De Long's wife, Emma. She lived to the ripe old age of 91 and had collected and saved everything, including all her love letters during their courtship days and letters that she wrote while the expedition was in the Arctic, which she hoped would somehow reach her husband by way of Arctic whaling vessels. It was a little treasure trove, one of those cool things that happened, where lightning strikes. And a lot of these letters ended up in the book.
The voyage was funded by newspaper tycoon Gordon Bennett, who emerges as a sort of Rupert Murdoch on steroids. Tell us about him—and some of his odder habits.
[laughs] Gordon Bennett, Jr., was a wealthy and eccentric Gilded Age tycoon. He was the publisher of the New York Herald, which was then the largest paper in the world. He was one of these spoiled brats of the Gilded Age, who pretty much did whatever he wanted. He was into spectacle and sports. He was a duelist. He had yachts all over the world. He was a reckless sailor, who won the first transatlantic yacht race and was into balloon racing. Bennett also brought tennis to the U.S. from England, building an enormous palace in Newport, which is now the International Hall of Fame for tennis.
One of the sports he did was four-in-hand coach racing around New York, which, for some reason, he liked to do in the nude. So he became known as the "Naked Horseman."
The leader of the expedition was George Washington De Long. What sort of a man was he?
A real straight shooter. Very thorough. Very capable. A career U.S. Navy man who had fallen in love with the Arctic during an earlier expedition to Greenland and decided that he wanted to return to it. He was captivated by the puzzle of what's up there at the top of the world. And he devoted the rest of his life to the goal of being the first man to reach the North Pole.
This is the very end of the nautical age of polar exploration, when there were still people who thought you could somehow reach the North Pole by ship, as opposed to sledges and dogs and so forth. De Long wanted to do this for the Navy, and for personal glory, of course. But also for science. So he spent five years very carefully planning this expedition. Alaska had been fairly recently purchased from Russia, and people desperately wanted to know what was north of our new territory. So the idea was to push north of the Bering Strait and try to reach the North Pole by a route that had never been tried before.
How did the Jeannette mission connect with America's new sense of self-confidence as a "Great Nation"?
I wanted to write about the Gilded Age, this amazing period after the Civil War when the country was finally emerging from the devastation of war. We're trying to do big things on the world stage, flex our muscles, and compete with the European powers. And this was a legitimate venue for that kind of competition.
Up to this point most of the great polar explorations had been conducted by the British or the Scandinavians, sometimes the Russians. But the United States was entering this game. It was a time of stirring ambition, and there was enough money floating around, among individuals like Gordon Bennett, and enough interest. This was something that everyone, north and south, could get behind: to try and plant the American flag at the North Pole.
Like the moon shots in the 1960s?
It was certainly viewed that way at the time. The North Pole seemed as inaccessible as the moon. There was also a good bit of nationalism behind it. We wanted to beat the British and the Scandinavians and the other powers. There was also a sense of Manifest Destiny at work. We'd moved west all the way to San Francisco. We'd built the transcontinental railroad. We'd just bought this new territory in Alaska. It was as though Manifest Destiny stopped heading west, took a right turn, and went due north.
You call the Jeannette's multinational crew "a cross-section of the Gilded Age." Tell us about some of them.
It was a hodgepodge of folks who were American citizens. Immigrants from Denmark and Norway, from Scotland and England. There were two Chinese guys on board from Chinatown in San Francisco. And two Inuit dog drivers. The officers of the ship were all U.S. Naval Academy graduates: the navigator, the engineer, and, of course, De Long himself. There were also two civilian scientists on board. One was a Smithsonian-affiliated naturalist. And there was also a meteorologist from Ireland.
One man who stands head and shoulders above the rest of the crew is the engineer, George Melville. What made him special?
Melville was said to be distantly related to Herman Melville, the writer, though I was never able to pin that down. But he was certainly a larger-than-life character. He could fix anything—the kind of guy that usually had a welding torch in his hand. He would take machines apart and rebuild them, or cannibalize other machines for parts.
He was the guy that De Long ended up having to rely on for everything. He's stoic, tough as nails, and as the story unravels and everything goes from bad to worse, he's the one who really picks up the pieces and keeps the expedition going. When everything completely falls apart, he goes back to Siberia and finds all the expedition's documents and tries to rescue people. And he never lets go of this story. It's with him until the end of his life.
Mark Twain once remarked that "going to sea develops all man's bad qualities and brings out new ones he didn't suppose himself mean enough for." Describe some of the tensions among the Jeannette's crew.
Any time you put 33 men together in a fairly small vessel for an extended time, there are tensions and personality clashes. Put them together for two years, locked in the ice, in polar conditions, and you can only imagine.
The Irish meteorologist on board, Jerome Collins, is a very interesting man and quite learned. But he has a propensity for delivering really bad puns and limericks. For a couple of days that can be wonderful. But for two years? Everyone on the ship wanted to kill this guy, including De Long! [Laughs]
After the ship became "nipped" in the ice, De Long and his men had to walk nearly a thousand miles to the coast of Siberia. What impressed you the most about their ordeal?
As soon as the ship sinks, the story changes abruptly. It is no longer a story of exploration and discovery. It becomes a stark story of survival, a story of leadership and comradeship, of holding this thing together against all odds.
They don't have much time. They know winter is coming. They've got the remaining summer months to reach Siberia—dragging their three small boats across this impossible landscape of sludge and slurry and slop. They're wet constantly. They're struggling in harness, like mules, for what turned out to be 91 days.
They were forced to hunt and eat some fairly exotic food. Have you ever tried "walrus sausage"?
[Laughs] I never have. But my editor thinks that we should come out with a companion cookbook of the Arctic because, as you say, the food they're eating is pretty exotic. To say the least! A lot of seal intestine and roast squab of seagull. And, yes, walrus and even polar bear. They eventually become expert hunters.
The explorers were helped greatly by the Yakut people. Give us a quick anthropological overview of these Siberian natives.
This is a tribe that is often mistaken for being related to the Eskimos. But they aren't. They look very much like Mongols. But they speak a language that is Turkic—they can be understood in Istanbul! But they've lived for a long, long time in this part of Siberia. I think they've always enjoyed being away from the tsar, from Moscow and St. Petersburg. They have their own little inland empire in the Lena Delta. And they played a huge role in saving these guys. There's one particularly touching moment where a Yakut woman washes Melville's frostbitten and dirty feet, then coats them with goose grease. It sounds kind of disgusting, but it worked miraculously.
These people didn't have to help at all. They probably thought: "Who are these guys who've come from the north? They must be either criminals or exiles." In some cases they thought they were from another world, that they'd literally come from beneath the ice. And yet when they saw what desperate straits the Americans were in, they really gave of themselves and embraced them.
They were also helped by the Russians. It's quite a contrast to U.S.-Russian relations today, isn't it?
[Laughs] It is! I was able to do the research for this book because of a unique window of time where our relations were better. There were a lot of scientists going to this part of the Arctic to study global warming. If I were to contemplate the journey today, as opposed to in 2012, I think it would be nearly impossible. But in the 1880s we were very curious about Russia, and they were very curious about us. The Jeannette survivors were even invited to meet with Tsar Alexander III.
Eleven men, including De Long, eventually perished. As an editor with Outside magazine, you often have the responsibility of sending people off on dangerous adventures. How do you judge Gordon Bennett's decision to send this mission out in order to sell newspapers?
Bennett was definitely of the old school. He was willing to take extreme risks in his own sporting adventures, whether it was sailing or auto racing. He thought that's just part of life. Life is risky. And the best stories, the greatest adventures, are going to be exceedingly risky.
He had already sent Henry Morton Stanley to Africa for the New York Herald to "find Livingstone," even though Livingstone wasn't really lost [laughs]. And the dispatches Stanley sent back were a huge hit. So Bennett was looking for an encore when he came up with the idea of bankrolling an expedition to the North Pole.
He didn't really view this as anything extraordinary—that he's possibly sending these men to their deaths. It's all about the paper. Though he certainly did take his responsibility to the widows seriously, subsidizing them for years. Whether he did a reckoning with himself, morally, is a good question. He was not exactly an introspective person. I think he felt this was just part and parcel of running a great newspaper—while advancing sport and science at the same time.
The Canadians have just discovered one of Sir John Franklin's ships after 170 years. How did you feel when you read the news? Do you think the Jeannette will ever be found?
I was fascinated by that story. And, of course, I have always wondered how we could find and photograph the Jeannette. It's actually not nearly as difficult as Franklin's ships. We know almost exactly where the Jeannette is because when it sank, De Long's men took very meticulous positional readings.
The only problem is that it's in Russian waters, near some islands that are somewhat disputed—the De Long Islands. So the hurdles for finding the Jeannette are more geopolitical than archaeological. I'm hoping this book might create an environment that down the line, when our relationship improves with the Russians, we could send out an expedition to recover the ship.
I've spoken with some folks in the Navy and at NOAA who are interested. It's certainly one of my passions. One of my secret wishes. | <urn:uuid:a4ecbb89-871e-47e6-b719-aa705c7897f9> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2014/09/140924-jeannette-hampton-sides-north-pole-gilded-age-ngbooktalk/ | 2019-06-19T01:49:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998879.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20190619003600-20190619025600-00523.warc.gz | en | 0.986337 | 3,109 |
“Black Americans in Flight” is an 8-foot x 51-foot multi-panel painting that pays tribute to African-American achievements in aviation from 1917 through the late 1980s. The historic mural includes 75 portraits, 18 aircraft, three American Bald Eagles, five unit patches and one spacecraft.
The Committee for the Aviation Mural Projects Success (CAMPS) launched the mural project in 1984. In 1986 CAMPS commissioned local artists Spencer Taylor and Solomon Thurman to create and develop a mural to honor St. Louis African-American pilots of World War II. Taylor and Thurman were both McDonnell Douglas employees at the time.
Since the formal dedication ceremonies on August 13, 1990, the mural has been permanently displayed at Lambert-St. Louis International Airport. It's located in the Terminal 1 Bag Claim near the exit of the C Concourse exit across from the Meeting Place. The mural is one of the largest paintings in the world honoring Tuskegee Airmen, including nearly two dozen St. Louis pilots and crew.

If we look in detail at the correlation of the monthly mean wind power itself, we see that regions can be found where the
production is quite well anticorrelated to others. Some of this anticorrelations are of systematic nature. So the idea of selecting the regions in order to get the best match
of production and electricity consumption suggests itself. | <urn:uuid:dc088fbd-100b-46ce-9df3-f7d2e4661e64> | CC-MAIN-2018-13 | http://transnational-renewables.org/Gregor_Czisch/folien/magdeb030901/folie_46.html | 2018-03-18T11:17:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-13/segments/1521257645613.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20180318110736-20180318130736-00480.warc.gz | en | 0.939164 | 86 |

United Nations' International Youth Day Event 12 August
The United Nations' (UN) International Youth Day is celebrated on 12 August every year in order to recognize the efforts of the world's youth in enhancing global society. The goal is to promote ways to engage youth in becoming more actively involved in making positive contributions to their communities.
The theme of International Youth Day 2015 is "Youth Civic Engagement." The engagement and participation of youth is essential to achieve sustainable human development. Yet often the opportunities for youth to engage politically, economically, and socially are low or non-existent. This event will showcase inspiring ways in which young people engage in civic, political, and social spheres, and will explore how the issue of youth civic engagement is an enabler for an enhanced and inclusive participation of young women and men in decision-making and public life. The event will bring together young people, youth organizations, Member State representatives, civil society, media and United Nations entities to discuss the issue of youth civic engagement in particular looking at new and emerging issues and approaches to social and political engagement in different parts of the world.
Youth Civic Engagement, a main goal of the United Nations System-Wide Action Plan on Youth, seeks to promote young people's effective inclusive civic engagement at all levels. There has been recent increasing attention and policy and programming focus on youth civic engagement by governments, UN entities, regional and multilateral organizations, youth, and researchers.
The International Youth Day 2015 campaign aims at promoting civic engagement and participation of youth in politics and public life, so that young people can be empowered and bring a full contribution to society, development and peace. You can be part of these efforts!
The Inter-Agency Network on Youth Development is running an online campaign in the lead up to International Youth Day. The campaign will open up a space for young people to share their stories and ideas on civic engagement activities. Young people will be able to share their message by submitting a photograph that relates to the theme, by tweeting ideas and opinions on the theme using #YouthDay, or by organizing an International Youth Day Event. Youth should contribute in the building and designing of their future!type: globe-news

SHAKER HEIGHTS, Ohio -- City Council has introduced a new chapter for the city code that would protect against discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity in employment and public accommodations.
Shaker already has protections established in its Fair Housing law adopted in 1992 and originally covering race, color, religion, sex, ancestry, national origin, handicap and familial status.
"Chapter 515" was then amended in 2006 to include sexual orientation and gender identity as additional protected classes in Shaker housing, City Law Director William Ondrey Gruber noted.
"It is our intent to leave Chapter 515 (governing fair housing) alone and enact a new 'Chapter 516'" protecting the LBGTQ community in employment and public accommodations, Assistant City Law Director Lisa Gold-Scott explained to council.
Prior to the first reading of the legislation on May 13, City Council held a work session with Equality Ohio's Statewide Civic Engagement Director Gwen Stembridge, who called it a "step in the right direction toward equality and inclusion."
Stembridge noted that Ohio remains one of 28 states without discrimination laws covering employment, housing and public accommodations. And while there are federal laws in place, they only cover businesses with 15 or more employees.
"So in Ohio, it's still legal to fire people or deny them housing simply because they are gay," Stembridge told council.
This has led to Cuyahoga County Council’s enactment of additional safeguards last year, joining many surrounding cities that already have them in place, including Beachwood, Cleveland, Cleveland Heights, East Cleveland, Lakewood and South Euclid.
And there has been considerable “public accommodations” debate elsewhere, most notably in North Carolina, where a “bathroom bill” was partially repealed two years ago after the state lost millions through a boycott that included college and professional sports.
As for concerns about sexual predators stalking public restrooms as a result of the proposed public accommodations provisions, Stembridge said, “It doesn’t take away any of the laws about voyeurism, assault and indecent exposure.”
Another reading of the ordinance is expected at council’s next regular meeting May 28, the day after Memorial Day.
In other business at its May 13 special meeting, City Council emerged from an executive session and appropriated $75,000 to the Shaker Heights Development Corp. for real estate acquisition and other activities in the Chagrin-Lee corridor.
"This funding will enable SHDC to take advantage of real estate opportunities in the Lee Road corridor to strengthen our southwestern commercial district and gateway to our city," Senior Economic Development Specialist Katharyne Starinsky stated in a memo to council.
The city and SHDC are looking at a strategy of “node redevelopment,” as in the case of the property next to Process Canine, which moved into the old Lee Road Nursery with help from SHDC and other investors.
"When evaluating a property, the ED team is looking for nodes where multiple properties can be paired for redevelopment, so each property will be a strategized acquisition," Starinsky said.
She added that new tenants and facade improvements will “improve the tenant-mix as well as the ‘curb appeal’ in the corridor” and could involve investors, as was done with the dog day care center.
SHDC Executive Director Nick Fedor and Shaker Chief Administrative Officer Jeri Chaikin declined to elaborate on what future properties the $75,000 might be applied toward.
The SHDC remains in charge of The Dealership, which Starinsky noted is “now 82 percent occupied, with Verb Ballets being its most recent tenant, bringing 25 to 30 paid staff and contractors to Lee Road from throughout Greater Cleveland."

Officials late Tuesday night located and apprehended the man wanted in connection with the murder of a 6-year-old girl.
Matthew Flugence was located in the 800 block of Victory Drive in Westwego and was initially taken to the parish's detective bureau.
A Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office spokesman said a patrol deputy and two Westwego Police Department officers spotted Flugence, who was carrying a knife when he was apprehended, according to authorities.
He did not resist arrest.
After he was questioned for several hours overnight, authorities brought him to the Jefferson Parish Correction Center to have him booked on one count of first-degree murder. He will also be booked in an unrelated sexual battery incident from April involving and 11-year-old girl.
Investigators had identified Flugence as a person of interest earlier in the investigation and formally named him the primary suspect on Tuesday afternoon. Officials said he also has been connected to a sexual assault on an 11-year-old girl.
His brother, Russell Flugence, was arrested Tuesday after sheriff's officials determined he had withheld information in the murder case.
Ahlittia North disappeared from her home over the weekend. Her remains were discovered early Tuesday morning in a trash receptacle nearby.
An autopsy determined she had been stabbed numerous times.
Matthew Flugence is the nephew of Ahlittia's stepfather and had reportedly babysat the girl on several occasions.
Crimestoppers has pledged a reward of $6,500 for information that leads to the arrest and indictment in this case.

Protect Yourself from Scams
When trying to find a host family for your au pair experience in the United States, please be aware that au pair organizations – like many other companies around the world – have fallen victim to fraudulent activity. This means there are people falsely representing EurAupair as well as other au pair J-1 visa sponsor organizations. These people use our name, they might even create application documents in EurAupair’s name to make you believe that you are in touch with a U.S. Department of State designated au pair program. Others might pretend they are a host family and would like you to become their au pair. The intention of these people is to receive money from potential au pairs and to secure their personal information. We would like to give you some tips on how to protect yourself against such scams:
- Always apply through a sending office in your home country. You will meet with the representative in person and they will assist with your application documents as well as the placement process. You will never receive application materials directly from a host family or from the EurAupair office in the US, only from our partner office in your home country.
- Au pairs coming to the U.S. on a J-1 Visa must enroll with a partner working with a U.S. Department of State designated sponsor organization – such as EurAupair – which conforms to all Department of State rules and regulations.
- Never submit any money directly to a host family.
- Never transfer money via Western Union or MoneyGram to a host family or au pair program in the U.S. You will only pay your sending office in your home country directly.
- Be cautious about contacts via Facebook or other social media.
If you have received suspicious communication and are not sure if a host family you have been in touch with has applied with EurAupair, please contact us at email@example.com. We are here to help and support you.
If you would like to become an au pair, please check if we have a partner office in your country. | <urn:uuid:e008d21c-7c69-40e1-9e3a-cc3395a2e7d9> | CC-MAIN-2017-09 | https://www.euraupair.com/aupairs/protect-yourself-from-scams/ | 2017-02-21T00:42:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-09/segments/1487501170614.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20170219104610-00088-ip-10-171-10-108.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.958844 | 430 |

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is distributing $3 billion in American Rescue Plan funding — the largest aggregate amount of funding to date for its mental health and substance use block grant programs.
The Community Mental Health Services Block Grant (MHBG) Program and Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Block Grant Program (SABG) will disperse $1.5 billion each to states and territories (with the latter also awarding money to a tribe). This follows the March announcement of supplemental funding of nearly $2.5 billion for these programs. SAMHSA, an operating division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, has expedited federal funding to grantees to help communities grappling with mental health and substance use needs during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The COVID-19 pandemic and the corresponding economic crisis have been especially devastating for Black, American Indian, Alaska Native and Hispanic communities, who are experiencing a disproportionate number of COVID-19 infections and deaths as well as higher-than-average unemployment rates. Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) populations have experienced increased stigma and hate due to COVID-19 anti-Asian rhetoric, which is impacting the behavioral health of AANHPI communities.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) preliminary data points to 90,000 overdose deaths for the 12 months ending last September – about 20,000 more than the same period the year before. CDC data also shows that American adults in June 2020 reported elevated levels of adverse mental health conditions, substance use, and suicidal ideation. The prevalence of symptoms of anxiety was approximately three times those reported in the second quarter of 2019, and prevalence of depression was approximately four times that reported in the second quarter of 2019.
Last week, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released data highlighting health services received by millions of Medicaid and Children Health Insurance Program beneficiaries during the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency. Despite an overall rebound for most of these services, mental health utilization remains below pre-pandemic levels.
With the nation's mental and substance use disorder needs squarely in focus, HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra is establishing a new Behavioral Health Coordinating Council (BHCC). The Assistant Secretary for Mental Health and Substance Use and the Assistant Secretary for Health will serve as the co-chairs of this coordinating body, which is comprised of senior leadership from across the Department. The BHCC's primary goal is to facilitate collaborative, innovative, transparent, equitable, and action-oriented approaches to addressing the HHS' behavioral health agenda.
"Behavioral health is a priority for the Department of Health and Human Services. The COVID-19 pandemic has made clear the need to invest resources in our nation's mental health and address the inequities that still exist around behavioral health care. That's why we are making this historic investment in mental health and substance use services," said HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra. "In addition, this national problem calls for Department-wide coordination to address the issue. That's why I am convening the Behavioral Health Coordinating Council to work across HHS to facilitate collaboration and strategic planning as we implement our behavioral health agenda."
"Across America, we are seeing a startling rise in mental health and substance use disorders during the COVID-19 pandemic," said Assistant Secretary for Health Dr. Rachel Levine. "We know multiple stressors during the pandemic – isolation, sickness, grief, job loss, food instability, and loss of routines – have devastated many Americans and presented the unprecedented behavioral health challenges across the nation. Addressing the COVID-19 mental and behavioral health impacts on vulnerable and disenfranchised populations are among the top priorities of the Biden-Harris Administration. Establishing a new Behavioral Health Coordinating Council will assure the right prioritization and guidelines are in place to provide pathways to prevention, intervention, treatment and recovery services."
"The Biden-Harris Administration's support through the American Rescue Plan funding will increase community-level supports for Americans who have been grappling with devastating emotional and mental challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic," said Acting Assistant Secretary for Mental Health and Substance Use Tom Coderre. "Given the significant impact mental and substance use disorders can have on the lives of individuals, families and communities, the establishment of the BHCC provides a critical tool in addressing these issues in a collaborative and strategic way."
The MHBG program enables states and territories to provide comprehensive community mental health services and address needs and gaps in existing treatment services for those with severe mental health conditions.
The SABG program allows states and territories to plan, implement and evaluate activities to prevent, treat and help more people recover from substance use disorder. This funding will also allow recipients to make investments in existing prevention, treatment and recovery infrastructure, promote support for providers and address unique local needs to deliver substance use disorder services.

Several thousand demonstrators, some covering their mouths with black ribbons, protested Friday against the detention of eight journalists in a case that has drawn expressions of concern from Western governments and international media rights groups.
The arrests Thursday reflect the widening division between the government and its critics over a long-running investigation into an alleged conspiracy to topple the Islamic-rooted government.
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan says prosecutors are stripping away the vestiges of authoritarian rule in Turkey, but opponents counter that many of the more than 400 suspects have been targeted in a bid to muzzle dissent and undermine Turkey's secular legacy.
On Friday, members of labor unions, political parties and non-governmental organizations joined hundreds of journalists in Istanbul and Ankara. They shouted slogans demanding press freedom after police detained eight journalists and two other people for links to the alleged coup plot.
The larger group was in Istanbul, where protesters carried a giant Turkish flag on a main pedestrian thoroughfare.
Some journalists in Ankara marched with their mouths covered by ribbons that signified the alleged clampdown by the government on expression.
"Don't remain silent or you will be next," journalists in Ankara shouted as they marched toward the Justice Ministry. They also carried a banner that read: "Everyone needs free press."
The government says the decision to detain the journalists was taken by independent judicial authorities.
"Of course, this is not nice," Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arinc said. "The journalists should not be jailed or prosecuted for their writings, but none of us have armor if we violate laws."
"We are disturbed to see renewed heavy-handed treatment of journalists who reported facts that do not suit the government," Reporters Without Borders said in a statement Friday.
Taha Akyol, a columnist for Milliyet newspaper, told CNN-Turk television that the targeting of journalists was "causing unrest within the society and gives the impression that the opposition is being crushed."
Turkey, meanwhile, continued an offensive against Internet sites, causing further concerns over censorship.
A prosecutor on Friday charged the owners or editors of four news websites with "insulting public officials," for posting excerpts of a high court judge's alleged conversation, the Anatolia news agency said. They could face up to two years in prison if found guilty.
A court also has ordered access to the blog site Blogspot.com closed after a satellite television company, which owns the broadcasting rights to Turkey's football league, complained about league games being shown on some blogs, CNN-Turk television said Friday.
More than 9,000 sites, most of them adult websites, have been banned in Turkey according to Engelli Web, a site that monitors blocked pages.
U.S. State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley on Thursday said the United States had concerns about trends in Turkey and would monitor ongoing arrests of journalists and "urge that any investigations or prosecutions proceed in a transparent manner."
"We will continue to engage Turkey and encourage an independent, pluralistic media," Crowley told reporters. "It is critical to a healthy democracy."
Thursday's detentions were a follow up to a raid last month on the anti-government news website Oda TV, and those detained included two investigative journalists, Ahmet Sik and Nedim Sener. The suspects are accused of having links with the so-called Ergenekon network that is accused of conspiring to topple the government in 2003.
Sik is already on trial for a book he co-authored about the Ergenekon case. Sener is known for a book about alleged intelligence failures that he claims led to the 2007 murder of Hrant Dink, an ethnic Armenian journalist.
The Vienna-based International Press Institute said it was highly concerned over the detentions of journalists.
"No journalist should face arrest, charges, imprisonment or any other form of harassment or intimidation for doing their job which can include expressing critical views," IPI Director Alison Bethel McKenzie said in an online statement Thursday.

Tribune News Service
Ludhiana, January 13
The city witnessed a record rainfall of 12.4 mm today, on the day of Lohri. This has been the highest rainfall on Lohri in the past four or five decades.
The intermittent rain which started in the morning dampened the spirits of children and youngsters who failed to celebrated the festival in true manner, by flying kites and dancing to the tunes of traditional song “Sunder Mundriye”.
Dr KK Gill, Agrometeorologist at Punjab Agriculture University, said the city witnessed a record rainfall on Lohri due to western disturbances. “With the rain, the day temperature fell five degrees below normal. It was recorded at 13 degrees Celsius while the minimum was 10 degrees Celsius, which is above normal. Tomorrow, there may be fog but rain is not likely,” said Dr Gill.
Meanwhile, children and youngsters were disappointed as they failed to fly kites, a tradition on Lohri, today due to intermittent rain and fog. Adarsh, a 14-year-old school student, said he had spent Rs 1,200 on kites and string but was not able to fly them because of bad weather conditions. “Never to date have I seen this much rain on Lohri. We fail to understand how we will light a bonfire if it continues raining,” he said.
Meanwhile, thick blanket of fog had engulfed the region throughout the day, and drivers had to switch the head-lights on during daytime.
Lohri revelers said they had arranged for small get-togethers, DJ system on the rooftops, but no plans could be matured as weather played a spoilsport. As the maximum temperature fell once again, the residents had to brave severe cold, and most of them preferred to remain indoors.
Satwinder Kaur, a resident of Ghumar Mandi, said: “After waiting for long for the rain to stop, we moved to the market to buy items required for Lohri ‘puja’. The bonfire is a great respite from freezing cold. We had to make a small bonfire under a shed,” she said.

What creates an unsafe environment?
An unsafe environment occurs when someone or group of people undertake verbal or physical harassment of another person or group of people.
In general, prohibited conduct includes any abusive conduct that has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with another person’s ability to enjoy and participate in the event, including social events.
Prohibited conduct includes, but is not limited to:
Yelling at or threatening speakers or attendees, or any significantly disruptive conduct. By way of example, repeated interruption of a speaker by an attendee is prohibited.
Harassment based on race, age, gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, religion (or lack thereof) or any other protected group status, as provided by local, state, or federal law. By way of example, abusive conduct directed at someone because of their race is prohibited.
Physical / sexual harassment such as deliberate intimidation, violence, stalking, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention. By way of example, unwelcome sexual attention, stalking, and physical contact such as pinching, grabbing, or groping are prohibited.
Critical examination of beliefs, including critical commentary on another person’s views, does not, by itself, constitute hostile conduct or harassment. One of the underlying rationales of this policy is to promote the free exchange of ideas, not to inhibit it.

According to most automakers, the average driver approximately drives 14,000-15,000 miles per year. We recommend that you track your mileage so that you can know when your vehicle is due for maintenance. In fact, most car manufacturers recommend services at specific mile intervals.
Besides your regular oil changes, tire rotations, and filter changes, the major maintenance services typically occur at every 30,000 mile interval. Over time, fluid levels decrease, screws become loose, seals wear down, and filters collect dust and debris after miles and miles of driving.
Factory scheduled maintenance helps to minimize the wear and tear that naturally occurs when you drive. In fact, factory recommended services, or 30/60/90K service, can extend the life of your vehicle.
The initial step in 30/60/90K maintenance is to evaluate the vehicle's major systems for signs of problems, followed by a number of steps that may include:
- Checking and changing air, cabin, oil, and fuel filters
- Replacing spark plugs and/or plug wires
- Monitoring fluid condition and levels (brake, coolant, transmission, etc.) and topping them off
- Brake inspection and service
- Tire rotation and pressure check
- Oil change
- Belt and hose inspection (timing belt replacement may be required at 90K service)

Puerto Rico’s former Gran Meliá Golf Resort reopened in August as the Resort at Coco Beach. The 579-room property, now “affiliated” with Hyatt, is expected to rebrand as Hyatt Regency Coco Beach Resort later this year, following the completion of brand enhancements and updates.
The 72-acre property, on a peninsula on the north coast of the island, features bungalow-style accommodations that include 480 junior suites, 93 deluxe suites, five club suites and one presidential suite. The resort’s 41,208 square feet of meeting and event space provides groups with two main ballrooms, the larger of which is 11,946 square feet; two junior ballrooms; and seven breakout rooms.
After meetings have adjourned, attendees can enjoy the giant lagoon-style pool or the 12,000-square-foot Rainforest Spa (set to open this winter after a $2 million renovation). There are also two tennis courts, a basketball court, a fitness center, and two Tom Kite-designed 18-hole golf courses with ocean views.
The property is about a 30-minute drive from Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport and the city of San Juan. | <urn:uuid:6c5c4905-62ec-4ffa-9def-ca6b33592dfe> | CC-MAIN-2020-05 | https://www.meetingsnet.com/destination-venue-news/puerto-rico-hyatt-reopening-former-gran-meli-resort | 2020-01-20T03:38:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-05/segments/1579250597230.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20200120023523-20200120051523-00064.warc.gz | en | 0.914644 | 255 |

Texas oil and natural gas industry pays record taxes, royalties
Posted on Monday, March 16th, 2015 at 1:57 pm
The skyrocketing energy production in Texas allowed the state’s oil and natural gas industry to pay record-high amounts in taxes and royalties last year, a report by the Victoria Advocate stated on February 24.
Data released by the Texas Oil and Gas Association showed that the state’s oil and gas industry has contributed $15.7 billion to the state in terms of royalty payments and taxes. Association president Todd Staples said these payments are being used to fund schools, children’s health insurance, and public services, among many other important community projects.
The report further added that the state’s vibrant energy sector directly employs 418,000 Texans, while indirectly providing jobs for another 1.8 million individuals across the state.
Indeed, the continuous growth of Texas’ oil and gas industry benefits not only its direct stakeholders, but also the community in which it thrives.

I am a morning person. In case in that half second you somehow managed to get things twisted I am also an evening person. Daylight fades to darkness. Vice versa. They equal me. Despite this hybrid, in my 35 year travels I have finally surmised the perfect hour is 5am.
A blaring alarm aside 5am is the perfect hour for rising. A late niter- 11, 12, etc.- is hardly a match for the bullet proof 5am. To rise at the hour is to conquer said ‘late niter’. One night. Two nights. Three nights. Four. Who can’t get by? Honestly. On the flip side, an early night- 9, 10, etc.- delivers a rested head. Either way, 5am is the hour. The hour to run, rested. The hour to run, tired. A rested body and mind, awaken at 5am and shortly out the door, yields a run expected. Fruitful. The body and mind gloat in shared happiness. Conversely, a tired corpse awakens in the darken 5am hour. A battle ensues. Naturally. Always. Shoes lace regardless and it happens. The run takes shape. Afterwards, the body at home on doorstep bows to an elated mind. A day’s protocol is erected. Proud. Imagine still a body in bed wishing it had run? Fuck that!
This is my argument. This is theirs: | <urn:uuid:d1538330-cca2-4c60-870e-bb89b27934ee> | CC-MAIN-2020-05 | http://www.nealgorman.com/2011/11/5am.html | 2020-01-23T08:12:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-05/segments/1579250609478.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20200123071220-20200123100220-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.931453 | 298 |
On August 29th, 1862 the Army of Virginia under General John Pope met up with the Army of Northern Virginia under General Robert E. Lee at and around Manassas, not far from the site of the original first battle of Bull Run. It was at this battle that John W. Derr first experienced the shear terror of battle, the horror and fear of death. His contributions up to that point had been primarily in supporting roles and as reserve troops, but here in Manasas, on this day 150 years ago, all of that change for him.
JWD, as a private in the 48th Pennsylvania Volunteer Regiment, was part of Pope's infamous thrust in to center of General Thomas Jackson (Stonewall Jackson) line at the unfinished railroad cut near Groveton. Convinced that Jackson was isolated from the rest of the Confederate army and not likely to receive reinforcement from General Longstreet, Pope attacked Jackson's center at the unfinished railroad cut while later in the afternoon, General Longstreet arrived to provide reserve support. This proved devastating to the union drive and resulted in a overwhelming defeat.
The 48th PVI, flanked by the 6th New Hampshire and the 2nd Maryland advanced the line. It was at this time around 3:00 on the 29th of August that the 48th PVI advanced more rapidly than the other two regiments, leaving it in a vulnerable position. Hard to imagine now, but in those days the battles tended to be a bit more chaotic owing to the smoke, noise and lack of effective communications between regiments and respective army headquarters leadership. In the case of the 48th PVI, they were able to retreat back, but not after sustaining heavy casualties. It was during this part of the battle that John W. Derr was wounded in the leg above his ankle. Fortunately for him, the wound did not hit the bone and he was able to be recovered by his men during their initial retreat. As a confederate line advanced further, Derr had to be abandoned by the rest of his company due to his lack of mobility. At that time, John W. Derr was taken prisoner by Jackson's men. Later he would be moved to the Stone House where his wounds were tended and dressed.
Wounded and a prisoner, Derr was lucky to survive this horrendous battle. It wasn't until nine days later that he was able to write home to his parent to describe his ordeal. John Derr spent three days as a prisoner of war before being paroled by the confederates in a prisoner exchange. Paroling, a common practice during that period of the war, was eliminated under General Grant later in the war.
All of this is described in Derr's letter of September 7, 1862 which will be posted in nine days...please stay tuned!....

June 4, 2014 will be BMO Volunteer Day across North America. Building on what’s become a tradition in the U.S., this event will unite employees across borders with a common goal: to work together to help even the odds and improve the lives of the people in our communities.
Employee volunteering is embedded in BMO’s culture and a source of pride for our company. It says something important about who we are and what matters to us, both individually and as a company. It is a unique opportunity that allows us to give as well as to learn about the needs of those around us.
This year, thousands of BMO employees will volunteer at nearly 250 charitable organizations in communities across North America to help make our communities better places to live and grow and reinforce our vision to be the bank that defines great customer experience. | <urn:uuid:72a9775f-522d-4143-85f1-bac46a1e11f9> | CC-MAIN-2014-52 | http://www.bmo.com/home/about/banking/corporate-responsibility/community/volunteer-day | 2014-12-18T08:32:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-52/segments/1418802765698.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20141217075245-00149-ip-10-231-17-201.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.967206 | 172 |
Great Arizona lawns are low maintenance.
Did you know that the easiest to maintain Arizona grass comes from having sod installed as opposed to putting down grass seed? Choosing the wrong type of grass can mean that a huge amount of daily watering is needed if you are going to have a thick carpet of grass in your landscaping anywhere around Phoenix, Scottsdale and the NW Valley area.
The type of lawn grass you select will make a major difference in how great your turf areas look year around. How often you must mow is determined by your choice, as is the amount of water it will take to keep your Arizona lawn looking great. Just because the sod is available around your home, doesn’t mean it is the best thing to use for low cost maintenance or year around beauty.
Visit Our Arizona Lawn Portfolio.
Every property has special desert lawn requirements.
Where you have shade, you can’t use the same types of lawn grasses that you do in full sun. Where there is no shade, any Valley lawn will require more irrigation to stay robust and green. Winter grass installation is best done after your new sod is established. Some types of winter lawns are superior to others in the climate in the Scottsdale – Phoenix area.
Having worked with and maintained all the different grass types that will grow here, we can certainly steer you in the right direction. New lawn grass types bred specifically for the challenging desert climate, soils and water conservation are available. They make a profound difference in what you have heard about desert lawns in the past, and what is true today.
To learn more about what the best option is for having low maintenance, yet beautiful green grass in your Valley landscaping – give us a call. In just one visit we’ll be able to quickly tell you the best choice of Arizona grass for your lawn. | <urn:uuid:5470fb0b-9f66-427f-8a51-b73dd27cb1d0> | CC-MAIN-2018-39 | https://www.desertcrestllc.com/landscaping-services/softscapes/arizona-grass/ | 2018-09-25T03:06:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-39/segments/1537267160923.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20180925024239-20180925044639-00422.warc.gz | en | 0.951945 | 381 |

ISSA introduces mobile game for cleaning industry
ISSA Introduces Mobile Game for Cleaning Industry
LINCOLNWOOD, IL — ISSA, the Worldwide Cleaning Industry Association, has launched a new mobile game for the cleaning industry: Angry Janitors. The game is a free app aiming to educate players on hygiene awareness while keeping them engaged and entertained. The app boasts more than 2,200 downloads since its release.
Developed for iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, and Android smartphones and tablets, the Angry Janitors game is available for download at www.ISSA.com/Angry or by searching “Angry Janitors” in the iTunes App Store or Google Play.
Angry Janitors combines entertainment and education in one memorable mobile gaming package. Its timing is fitting, particularly as smartphones surpassed laptops as the primary WiFi device in 2013, representing 40 percent of all connections compared to 36 percent for laptops. According to a 2011 study by Biz Tech Day, about 64 percent of smartphone owners use their devices for gaming.
The game offers a number of facts and tips on the true value of proper cleaning that provide educational value between levels. Angry Janitors’ game play features three stages — The School, The Office and The Hospital — each with 10 levels. King Dirt, King Germ and their unwelcome cast of filthy underlings have invaded these facilities, and students, workers, patients, and staff are getting sick. It’s up to the player to help the janitors — Sweepy, Squirt and Speedster — eliminate dirt and germs at each level, and rack up points along the way.
“While Angry Janitors is intended to be entertaining for players of all ages, the game also helps to change the way the world views cleaning by promoting the importance of clean and healthy environments and the crucial role that cleaning professionals play in facilities worldwide,” says ISSA Web Communications Director Jon Adkins.
Players earn Golden Plungers when high scores are posted at each level, and the game features a Top Cleaners leader board where players can compare their scores to the thousands of fellow competitors worldwide who have already downloaded the game.

Multi-Active is our core programme for 5-11 year olds. It’s our most popular programme and is designed to get children active, having fun and learning together.
To ensure each child gets the best Kings Camps experience, we group together children of a similar age, which means we can tailor sessions to match the age and ability of everyone in the group. There’s no traditionally competitive sports; instead we focus on skill development through fun games… this could be playing ‘Cat and Mouse’ with the parachute, or learning some simple sports skills like dribbling a football or introductory tennis.
At the heart of all our sessions is FUN! We reward participation and trying hard, ensuring every child’s efforts are recognised.
In addition to over 30 sports and activities, there’s some amazing camp highlights. Wet Wednesdays is, in short, a camp-wide water fight! Through lots of planned activities, children enjoy lots of water games and even get to soak their coach.
The Kings Games sees children of all ages working together. At the end of each camp day teams of mixed ages will take part in a team challenge. Points will be awarded and collected through this week, ending in the all-important Kings Games on the last day. Parents are invited to join in the fun and win extra points for their child’s team!
Children may also get to try Archery Tag and enjoy a UV party on select weeks, and will enjoy swimming where venues have a pool. | <urn:uuid:5e4b561f-e2cd-452c-b4da-9c73dbd7c7e6> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.kingscamps.org/activities-for-under-8s/ | 2021-12-08T22:23:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964363598.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20211208205849-20211208235849-00311.warc.gz | en | 0.946261 | 311 |

How to work the PECTORALS
Excellent exercise on a horizontal bench, specifically designed to work the pectorals.
Try not to change the angle of the elbows when starting the lift,
since you would then be working the triceps instead of the pectorals.
At the end of the session, and with very light weights,
carry out this movement with large amplitude.
This is an excellent way of opening the chest cavity. | <urn:uuid:11add809-117d-48f2-acd8-c36cdb5cefca> | CC-MAIN-2021-17 | http://muscul.az.free.fr/uk/pb09.htm | 2021-04-17T20:11:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-17/segments/1618038464045.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20210417192821-20210417222821-00127.warc.gz | en | 0.877617 | 92 |
SAN DIEGO -- Differential diagnosis of dementia in patients with equivocal clinical presentations may be sharpened with an imaging technique recently approved for other purposes, a researcher said here.
SPECT imaging with a radioactive iodine-based tracer -- sold under the name DaTscan -- distinguished patients with Lewy body dementia and non-amnestic mild cognitive impairment (MCI) from those with Alzheimer's disease and amnestic MCI in a pilot study, said Bradley Boeve, MD, of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn.
Boeve, who presented the findings at the American Academy of Neurology's annual meeting, told MedPage Today that the technique could be helpful in cases that are currently difficult to diagnose correctly.
Among them would be patients with cognitive impairments consistent with Alzheimer's disease, but who don't show heavy burdens of beta-amyloid protein plaques on PET scans. Low DaTscan scores in such patients would point to Lewy body dementia or non-amnestic MCI, according to the Mayo study result,
By the same token, in patients with symptoms not like those normally seen in Alzheimer's disease, but with PET scans showing substantial amyloid plaques, high DaTscan scores would support an Alzheimer's disease diagnosis.
DaTscan involves an injection of an iodine-123 compound called ioflupane prior to SPECT imaging. The tracer binds selectively to dopamine transporter molecules in the striatum, and was approved last year for the differential diagnosis of Parkinson's disease versus essential tremor.
Boeve and colleagues hypothesized that DaTscan results would also differ among patients with various kinds of dementias, insofar as Lewy body dementia is also marked by dopamine deficiency whereas Alzheimer's disease is not.
In the current study, they recruited 25 patients with four types of cognitive impairments diagnosed clinically: Lewy body dementia (12 patients), Alzheimer's disease (five patients), and amnestic and non-amnestic MCI (three and five patients, respectively). All but two of the participants were men; the mean age was 71.
The clinical diagnoses were reached in part on the basis of REM sleep behavioral disorder, which is common with Lewy body disorder and non-amnestic MCI but uncommon in the other two conditions. Amnestic MCI is often a precursor to full-blown Alzheimer's disease and, in such cases, shares the same underlying pathology.
DaTscan imaging in the study was performed with identical region-of-interest parameters for the left and right putamen and for the ipsilateral occipital cortical tissue. Scores were based on the means of the ratios of putamen to occipital tissue tracer uptake for the left and right sides (mPOR).
Mean mPOR scores for each diagnostic group were as follows:
- Alzheimer's disease: 2.59 (standard deviation 0.57)
- Lewy body dementia: 1.27 (SD 0.27)
- Amnestic MCI: 2.33 (SD 0.24)
- Non-amnestic MCI: 1.80 (SD 0.57)
An mPOR cutoff of 2.1 separated the Lewy body dementia and non-amnestic MCI patients almost perfectly from those with Alzheimer's disease and amnestic MCI. All patients in the latter two groups were above it and all the Lewy body dementia patients were below it. However, one non-amnestic MCI patient had a score of exactly 2.1 and one other was above the cutoff.
Boeve emphasized that the study was too small to determine conclusively that DaTscan imaging would be clinically valuable in the differential diagnosis of dementia. He told MedPage Today that it would take a study of "hundreds" of patients to validate the mPOR cutoff of 2.1 and to establish classification accuracy.
He also noted that few women were included in the pilot study which was a significant limitation.
The study was funded by GE Healthcare (maker of DaTscan), the National Institute on Aging, and charitable foundations.
Boeve reported relationships with GE Healthcare, Allon, and Cephalon.

Ensuring that your business has a clean and effective plumbing system is best for your business. Issues with your drains can be harmful to the overall bottom line. That is why it is essential to have routine drain maintenance for your plumbing system. Here are some solid reasons to incorporate regular drain maintenance for your business.
Drain Maintenance Prevents Blockages
Drain maintenance is especially vital for businesses like restaurants responsible for accumulating grease within their drains. Maintenance is essential in preventing issues that could shut down your business.
Protecting Against Biohazards
Various sectors of business often deal with harmful chemicals and products. If you operate a company that deals with such, your drains could become frequently backed up. As a result, you risk harming your employees and customers. You can prevent these issues by constantly maintaining your plumbing system with drain maintenance.
Reduce Pressure On Pipes
As the adage goes, pressure bursts pipes. Regular maintenance for your plumbing system can easily prevent blockage in your drains and additional plumbing fixtures. With preventative maintenance, the stress on your pipes is lessened, and you can extend their life. Also, with routine maintenance, you can prevent leakage as well.
Drain Maintenance Is Cost Effective
Cleaning areas after a plumbing issue can be problematic and expensive. The best way to prevent plumbing issues is through preventative maintenance. With drain maintenance, you are protected from problems with your plumbing system.

BSc Marketing and Management with Psychology
Felix is a placement year student who has completed two years of his undergraduate degree, Marketing Management with Psychology at the University of Sussex. He joined the Catalyst team to implement and improve upon his professional application of knowledge and theory. His degree covers a wide variety of areas including, international marketing and leading groups and teams. Felix finds the Psychology side of marketing very interesting as it links many aspects of his degree through unseen processes.
In his first year of university, he took part in the Sussex business challenge. This allowed him to work in a team under time pressure to produce marketing strategies for hypothetical situations, which he then had to pitch to industry experts. Felix enjoyed this style of developing skills and later used them in a marketing competition for Asos, to bring in new and repeat customers. This real-world experience helped him decide that he would like to work for interesting companies and spurred him to join the Catalyst team. At Catalyst, Felix aims to learn more about a diverse set of companies that challenge him to find new and innovative ways to help businesses function.
Felix’s previous employment in hospitality and site management has set him up for a career in managing tasks and a passion for problem-solving. He has had several jobs in these fields including bartending and IT installation, providing him with communication, interpersonal and teamworking skills that advanced both his academic studies and work-life balance. Felix feels grateful for the experiences these have provided and is ready to explore a more corporate side of business dynamics.
Outside of work Felix enjoys relaxing with water sports such as surfing and sailing, it’s a good way to unwind although it can be less than blissful in the freezing sea! He has competed in sailing regattas to varying degrees of success but is always up for the challenge. He also enjoys returning to his family holiday business where he has the most responsibility and can access all parts of the business. One of Felix’s social goals is to spend a few months travelling around Asia with friends on bikes (when that kind of holiday is possible again)! | <urn:uuid:dbe938bc-6144-4f4a-a0fc-8bcf8cb18446> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.catalyst.sinc.co.uk/felix-cambouropoulos | 2021-12-07T15:05:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964363400.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20211207140255-20211207170255-00301.warc.gz | en | 0.981183 | 432 |

Nonparametric regression can be considered as a problem of model choice. In this paper we present the results of a simulation study in which several nonparametric regression techniques including wavelets and kernel methods are compared with respect to their behaviour on different test beds. We also include the taut-string method whose aim is not to minimize the distance of an estimator to some ?true? generating function f but to provide a simple adequate approximation to the data. Test beds are situations where a ?true? generating f exists and in this situation it is possible to compare the estimates of f with f itself. The measures of performance we use are the L2 and the L1 norms and the ability to identify peaks. | <urn:uuid:1b05dd3f-b67f-454b-abce-62c068fe22ef> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | https://www.econstor.eu/handle/10419/22667 | 2016-10-24T10:39:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988719564.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183839-00327-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.877091 | 198 |
Oppo Reno2 review: An excellent update over the original Reno
At the launch event, Oppo really talked up the capabilities of the camera system on the Reno2, and now that we’ve had a chance to properly test this out for ourselves, we have to say we agree with their claims.
To recap the details shared earlier, the Reno2 has a quad-camera system on its back, with a 48-megapixel f/1.7 main wide-angle lens, a 13-megapixel f/2.4 telephoto lens an 8-megapixel f/2.2 ultrawide lens and a 2-megapixel f/2.4, depth-sensing lens.
Note that the telephoto lens only offers 2x optical zoom, as it’s a standard telephoto lens and not the periscope-style design found on the Reno 10x Zoom. On the whole, colours captured are true to life, without much colour bias to them. While you don’t get the 10x optical zoom of the Reno 10x Zoom, you get a pretty decent 5x Hybrid Zoom that should cover most of your everyday photography needs.
Here's an example of how the zoom levels compare. (Click to view the full-resolution images)
First, the Reno2.
Now, the captures from the Reno 10x Zoom is as follows:-
You'll probably already notice that the Reno 10x Zoom captures a bit more detail than the Reno2, especially at full telephoto, but we do think the Reno2 performs admirably given it doesn't have the advantage of the periscope-style telephoto lens.
Here's a look at the colours captured by the Reno2.
Low light performance
What most impressed us was actually the new impressive Ultra Dark Mode, as this seemed to turn in the best results of the Reno family so far. Ultra Dark Mode kicks in when the light levels are below 5 lux, and as you can see from the image below, even at ISO 3,103, there isn’t a significant amount of noise in the frame. The vehicles in the picture are much better defined than the ones in the capture from the Reno 10x Zoom, and there’s a wider dynamic range overall.
How this is achieved is likely through a heavy amount of pixel binning, as the final file is only about 3MB large. That’s just about enough if you’re only going to view the image on screen or if you don’t intend to crop the picture further, so we’d suggest to adjust your shot planning appropriately.
Looking at this capture gives you an idea of how the Reno2 handles skin tones at lower light conditions. The capture was taken at ISO500, which is relatively low, but as you can see from the crop, there's hardly any detail left in her skin as everything is washed out due to what seems like aggressive noise reduction.
Now let's take a look at the front camera. The camera seems to do a pretty good job of balancing the tricky lighting condition overall, but it seems like there's some digital retouching applied even at the lowest setting. This makes it seem as though there's some smudging on your skin.
From this video clip, the first thing that becomes obvious is how long it takes the Reno2 to adjust exposure for the lighting conditions, leaving the singer overexposed for a good eight seconds or so. That aside, we'd say the colours captured are pretty accurate, and there's no obvious noise, banding or artefacts in the capture. Audio capture is also quite good, as there's good clarity in her voice overall. | <urn:uuid:deb1db7b-0629-475e-9cf8-9c3c8421c9d1> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.hardwarezone.com.sg/review-oppo-reno2-smartphone-review-specs-price-singapore/imaging-11 | 2022-08-16T23:25:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572581.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20220816211628-20220817001628-00296.warc.gz | en | 0.958429 | 782 |
Voluntary CO2 market not netting emissions cuts
Voluntary Carbon Offset came out of The United Nation's Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), it allows individuals and organizations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by funding projects in developing countries.
As compensation investors are offered credits toward their own emissions or sold for profit.
This voluntary CO2 system primarily involves investors from the U.S. and Europe, and has only offset carbon emissions by 34.69 million tonnes, compared to 123 million tonnes in the 2008 market.
The major problem with this system is investors attempt to keep their credits alive as long as possible, instead of relinquishing them.
"The voluntary market is too small and not making a big enough impact. We need to be making a gigatonne of reductions," said Jonathan Shopley, co-chair of industry representative
The International Carbon Reduction and Offset Alliance.
Major attributions to the program include, a global awareness about the dangerous of CO2 emission, prevention, and reparation between companies, countries, and consumers.
Mark Chadwick, chief executive of carbon management firm Carbon Clear, stated, "We need to stay focused on reducing emissions wherever they are and do it as quickly as we can."

Mary Riedel KF9, Philippines
…”Tis the season,” and, “twas the season” from the moment I arrived in the Philippines on October 3rd – a Kiva Fellow bound for Kiva’s Microfinance Partner ASKI. (Microfinance field partners, are a critical link in connecting Kiva lenders with Kiva borrowers. Check out this rad video to learn more about the process). The Christmas Season starts sometime in September and lasts though the middle of January. I distinctly remember my first encounter with Christmas the weekend after I arrived in Cabanatuan City, PI. I was lured into a day spa by ambiant music and reclining chairs. I decided to get a facial, and was totally relaxed. Then all of the sudden about a 1/4 of the way through my delicious experience, the music changed to the “All Christmas Music, All the time” station….45 minutes of fa-la-la was intense…. So my initial “black and white” plan of totally ignoring Christmas this year, while out in the field volunteering as a Kiva Fellow, seemed unlikely.
So I’ve been trying to create a new Christmas, a sort of Gray Christmas. (That actually sounds pretty dismal. Alright how about a turquoise Christmas, not green and not blue – somewhere in the middle of the two on the color wheel). With my new outlook in mind yesterday I said hello to Christmas and went Christmas shopping. (Scrapping my initial plan to just buy gifts for my family online, which felt cold (kind of blue:-) and disconnected for me). Oddly enough my first stop was at ASKI in Cabanatuan City where I “work.” As it turns out ASKI operates a merchant store called, “ASKI Marketing Cooperative,” where they sell some products their borrowers make (some of them are Kiva borrowers but not all – in order to remain solvent only 1/3 of MFI clients/borrowers can be funded by Kiva ). The products range from traditional clothing, shoes, arts and crafts, food, stationary, handbags an so on.
Here are a few of the items, I bought.
Here is some things I would have bought if shipping where not crazy expensive and I had a bigger box.
Wood Bowls from Isabela
I have been sort of obsessed with the Christmas latterns ever since their star shaped brilliance caught my eyes! “In the philippines, the parol has become an iconic symbol of a filipino christmas and is as important to filipinos as the christmas tree is to other cultures.” (wikipedia).
My favorite ones are these, simple yet beautiful.
Not a fan of these…
In recent years like everything parols have advanced with technology. “The electronic lights can now be coordinated to produce a dancing effect.” (wikipedia) the result….well i think the new ones are really tacky and they give me a headache – but to each his own. I am sure they are a very nice accompaniment to what i can imagine are endless nights of videoke christmas carols.
Happy holidays!! and if your procrastinating on the shopping like i was, “every journey starts with one step!” which can be anything…like checking out the merch at the kiva online store or purchasing a Kiva gift certificate starting at $25 USD! Give a borrower something that keeps on giving – Hope! spelled L-O-A-N!
Here’s some more info about the history and construction of Parols from wikipedia.... Read more if you like below are on wikipedia.
Adaption and History
The parol, technically called philippine christmas lantern, was adapted from the chinese lantern and the
mexican piñata to symbolize the star of bethlehem. patterns of the parol evolved from the five-pointed star-
shaped paper lantern that was crafted by an artisan named francisco estanislao in 1928. his creation was made
of bamboo strips pasted with papel de japon (japanese paper), illuminated by a candle or kalburo (carbide).
This kind of lighting was adapted by barrio folks to light their paths during an annual ritual dawn mass
called misa de gallo, due to electricity being unavailable at the time.
Construction and Variations
Traditionally, parols are made from a star-shaped framework made of bamboo sticks which are then
covered by colored pieces of either japanese paper or crêpe paper. Nowadays, the materials range from
various non-traditional materials such as beads, feathers, glass, hemp, leaves, plastic, seeds, shells, soft drink straws, wood and even metal. they usually comes in various sizes—from small, tinsel and foil lanterns to
gigantic one—shapes and artistic designs where some lanterns can be electrically lit at night. other designs
include that of santa claus’s face, angels, reindeer, huge flowers, happy faces, and christmas trees. more complex shapes that are seen are the rose, the bromeliad, the snowflake and the sea urchin. | <urn:uuid:0f815bfa-86ce-40f2-8d12-96163a915702> | CC-MAIN-2014-10 | http://pages.kiva.org/node/5232 | 2014-03-08T21:09:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-10/segments/1393999664114/warc/CC-MAIN-20140305060744-00064-ip-10-183-142-35.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.946305 | 1,110 |
Jan. 22, 2014 NEW YORK (AP) -- Yankees co-chairman Hank Steinbrenner says the team has agreed to a $155 million, seven-year contract with prized Japanese pitcher Masahiro Tanaka.
Along with the contract, first reported by Fox, the Yankees must pay a $20 million fee to the Japanese team of the 25-year-old right-hander, the Rakuten Golden Eagles.
Tanaka caps an offseason that saw the Yankees add Jacoby Ellsbury, Brian McCann and Carlos Beltran.
Steinbrenner said Wednesday that "we had to make sure we had enough pitching to go together with our new lineup."
Big league teams had until Friday to reach an agreement with Tanaka, who was 24-0 with a 1.27 ERA last year as the Golden Eagles won the Japan Series title.

The purpose of the patch is to handle Network Initiated Context
Activation and PDN connection request as part of EPS Attach procedure
(LTE) in oFono core.
In order to avoid issue regarding CID allocation :
- driver should call the core using ofono_gprs_set_cid_range function
to specify CID range for UE initiated PDN connection
- driver could use a new function to check if the CID is already used
or not : ofono_gprs_is_cid_used, usefull in case the modem is not
using a specific range for UE initiated PDN connection.
- driver will use a new function to notify the gprs atom of a new PDN
connection with all the ip parameters from AT+CGCONTRDP (I can provide
an update later to handle PCSCF and IMS Signaling Flag as well)
commmand : ofono_gprs_context_activated
27.007 section 10.1.1 says
<cid>: a numeric parameter which specifies a particular PDP context
definition. The parameter is local to the TE-
MT interface and is used in other PDP context-related commands. The
range of permitted values (minimum
value = 1) is returned by the test form of the command.
NOTE 1: The <cid>s for network-initiated PDP contexts will have values
outside the ranges indicated for the
<cid> in the test form of the commands +CGDCONT and +CGDSCONT.
According to this, the cid of user initiated context and network
initiated context doesn't overlap.
+CGEV: ME PDN ACT <cid>[,<reason>[,<cid_other>]]
The mobile termination has activated a context. The context represents a
PDN connection in LTE or a Primary
PDP context in GSM/UMTS. The <cid> for this context is provided to the
TE. This event is sent either in result
of explicit context activation request (+CGACT), or in result of
implicit context activation request associated to
attach request (+CGATT=1). The format of the parameters <cid>,
<cid_other> are found in command
We should also be able to get the cid of the default context, from CGEV
ofono_gprs_context_activated is similar to
This function must be call by any gprs driver when :
- a context has been activated without explicit request as part of
attach procedure in LTE (PDN ACT X and X is a unused CID)
- a context has been activated by the Network (NW PDN ACT X, NW ACT X,Y)
Behavior of the function :
List all the context and try to find correct APN with empty username
and empty password.
If such context is not found then create a new one with "Internet"
type only if we are in LTE with no Active context.
Otherwise deactivate the connection.
For the context (found or created):
Update the settings
Set to active
The function will also assign the context to a context driver.

Did you know that your sleep position can affect your health? From back pain to acid reflux to snoring, there are a number of ways that sleep positions can impact your wellbeing. Here’s some helpful information about each of the most common sleep positions from Johns Hopkins Medicine:
- Sleeping on your Back comes with a number of pros and cons when it comes to your health. If you’re concerned about wrinkles, sleeping on your back is the best position to help prevent these from appearing. In addition, if you suffer from lower back pain, you should probably be sleeping on your back. However, sleeping on your back is not ideal if you snore or suffer from sleep apnea.
- Sleeping on your Side can decrease or increase your acid reflux symptoms, depending on the side. If you suffer from acid reflux, sleep on your left side and NOT your right. If you suffer from sleep apnea or you snore, then sleeping on your side can help to open up your air passageways. In addition, sleeping on your side is best when you are pregnant.
- Sleeping on your Stomach can help to improve sleep apnea and snoring, like sleeping on your side. However, sleeping on your stomach can worsen any neck or back pain that you may be experiencing.
When it comes to your health and sleep positions, you have to weigh the pros and cons of each sleep position and also take into account your own personal health needs. It’s also a good idea to talk to a medical professional about your health issues and how your sleep position may improve or worsen these issues.
If you’ve tried sleeping in every position, and you still wake up sore each morning, then maybe it’s time for a new mattress. So, come to see us at Factory Mattress and Bedrooms in Rocky Mount, NC. | <urn:uuid:99aaaf49-3c08-4597-b154-6f4544d7a507> | CC-MAIN-2021-17 | https://factorymattressusa.com/sleep-positions-and-health-mattresses-rocky-mount-nc/ | 2021-04-21T02:38:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-17/segments/1618039503725.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20210421004512-20210421034512-00093.warc.gz | en | 0.935524 | 465 |
KUCHING, July 2 — Sarawak state authorities will carry out house to house survey and vaccinate dogs and cats in the Serian district where the outbreak of rabies has occurred.
According to state Veterinary Services Department acting director Dr Adrian Susin Ambud today, these efforts are important to prevent the spread of rabies to other areas.
“Owners of dogs and cats in the affected areas are advised to keep their pets within their compound,” he said, adding that strays will be captured and observed for rabies infection.

He said control on the entry of animals at all border points by the Veterinary Department will be tightened to prevent new sources, or foci, of rabies outbreak.
Dr Adrian said the department will also carry out rabies awareness campaigns through both print and electronic media.
He added that the department was informed on June 30 by the Heath Department of one confirmed case at in Kampung Lebur and two cases in Kamung Paon Rimu Bakong, both in the Serian district.

The European Commission President, Ursula von der Leyen, told The New York Times that Americans who have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 should be able to travel to Europe by summer. The union’s 27 members would accept, unconditionally, all those who are vaccinated with vaccines that are approved by the European Medicines Agency.
She did not offer details on how or when tourist travel might open up.
That declaration was met by enthusiasm from many Americans eager to travel. In an analysis of travel bookings, the travel app Hopper observed a 47 percent spike in airfare searches from the United States to Europe for the summer since Sunday, with the top five most-searched destinations being Paris, Barcelona, Frankfurt, Athens and Amsterdam, according to a spokeswoman for the company.
In Europe, though, the reaction was more mixed.
In tourist-dependent countries, the announcement was called good news, but with lockdowns in place and vaccination slow, many are wondering how realistic it is.
On March 31, President Emmanuel Macron of France announced the start of a third national lockdown in a bid to control the spread of a new deadly wave of the coronavirus. Domestic travel between regions is forbidden and restaurants, bars and cafes remain closed.
Germany has been in various forms of lockdown since November, with no signs of when restrictions might be lifted. And Spain, in recent months, has made a concerted effort to restrict Spaniards to their home regions, with police roadblocks near provincial borders on holiday weekends to keep people from travelling and possibly spreading the virus.
Although German politicians are promising a prospective reopening plan by the end of May, the mayor of Munich announced on Tuesday that the annual Oktoberfest — still half a year away — would probably not go ahead, for a second year in a row.
Italy is in the middle of a third wave of the pandemic that appears to have peaked in late March, with the curve slowly going down. Across the country, only 9% of the population is fully vaccinated, and 12% partially, although most of the country regions are now in the yellow zone and restrictions have been eased.
Greece, which surpassed 10,000 Covid-19-related deaths on Sunday and has been under strict lockdown for months, including a requirement to text the government when leaving the house, is actually a step ahead of the European Union. It had originally announced that it would reopen to tourism on May 15 but then announced that travellers from a handful of nations, including the United States, could visit as of April 19 if they are fully vaccinated or can show a negative PCR test result.
Many Greeks had hoped to travel to nearby islands or villages to reunite with family members over the Orthodox Easter break on May 2, but the government instead kept the restrictions on travel by residents in place.
Spain, though limiting its own citizens’ movements, has for weeks been open to visitors with negative PCR tests from the rest of Europe, and tourists have been flocking to places like Madrid, which has more relaxed restrictions than their home cities. Most of its cultural attractions are open with Covid protocols, and the city’s curfew is 11 p.m., compared to much earlier curfews in other parts of the country and Europe.
Europe is one of the top three destinations for Americans, with millions visiting every summer. Several European countries struggling under the virus, like Greece, Spain and Italy, have relied on tourism dollars — specifically American tourism dollars — to fuel their economies for decades.
For many, the announcement only highlighted the present situation in much of Europe, where vaccinations have been running far behind those in the United States and where lockdowns have been far longer and much stricter.
It is against this backdrop that the European Union announced that it would be welcoming vaccinated visitors from the United States this summer.
There were, of course, practical questions about what kind of “vaccine passports” might be developed and concerns about whether amid a slow vaccine rollout in France, for instance, even vaccinated Americans could impact the evolution of the outbreak.
Some, however, merely hoped that the United States, which still bars travel from Europe with few exceptions, would reciprocate the gesture. | <urn:uuid:3854f0b4-1b44-4daa-99f1-701202fbba55> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | https://citymilanonews.com/fully-vaccinated-americans-can-visit-europe-this-summer/ | 2021-09-21T04:49:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780057158.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20210921041059-20210921071059-00471.warc.gz | en | 0.970826 | 864 |

In the immediate aftermath of the massacre in Charleston, South Carolina, the US House of Representatives Appropriations Committee quietly rejected an amendment that would have allowed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to study the underlying causes of gun violence.
That has caused strange gyrations in research, such as this November report by the CDC into gun violence that manages not to be about guns.
Though gun violence and gun control has stayed in the forefront of the American conversation in recent months, most recently after Wednesday's mass killings in a developmental disabilities center in San Bernardino, California, prohibition on gun research goes back decades.
Dr. Fred Rivara, a professor of Pediatrics and Epidemiology at the University of Washington at Seattle Children's Hospital, has been involved with injury research for 30 years. He was part of a team that researched gun violence back in the 1990s and personally saw the chilling effects of the NRA’s lobbying arm. Rivara says that the NRA accused the CDC of trying to use science to promote gun control.
“As a result of that, many, many people stopped doing gun research, [and] the number of publications on firearm violence decreased dramatically," he told The Takeaway in April. "It was really chilling in terms of our ability to conduct research on this very important problem.”
In 2013, some 34,000 Americans died from gunshot wounds. So Takeaway Washington Correspondent Todd Zwillich decided to ask House Speaker John Boehner why his party is trying to block research on gun violence.
“The CDC is there to look at diseases that need to be dealt with to protect public health,” Boehner said at a press conference last week. “I’m sorry, but a gun is not a disease. Guns don’t kill people — people do. And when people use weapons in a horrible way, we should condemn the actions of the individual and not blame the action on some weapon.”
But does the CDC research blame the public health issue of gun violence on the weapons themselves?
“The original concern from the National Rifle Association back in 1996, which Dr. Rivara mentioned, made that very implication,” says Zwillich. “The NRA complained to Congress that the CDC was using the results of its research to essentially advocate for gun control. They called it propaganda. And back at that time, Congress slashed the CDC’s funding by the exact amount that was used for gun-related public health research.”
Rivara and his team discovered that having a gun in the home is associated with a threefold increase in the risk of a homicide — they released this information in a series of peer-reviewed articles that appeared in the New England Journal of Medicine. The CDC both funded Rivara’s original research and stood by the findings.
But after Congress seemingly retaliated against the CDC for publishing Rivara’s findings, Zwillich says researchers with the agency have shied away from conducting gun research.
“There is other research that goes on at the CDC that does have to do with guns,” says Zwillich. “There is a National Violent Death Reporting System, which does record the causes of all violent deaths, including in domestic abuse, youth violence, and child abuse. If a gun is the cause, that’s recorded — it’s not like they ignore it entirely. But gun deaths and gun injuries as a public health issue, as Rivara said, are still basically anathema to CDC researchers and anyone who gets CDC funding, which is potentially millions of dollars.”
Many federally funded researchers are afraid how the interpretation of their data might be used — and used against them.
“Congressional prohibition, which was extended in this very vote that we’re talking about with that appropriations bill, prevents the CDC from advocating for any form of gun control,” says Zwillich. “Researchers are concerned that if they report the results of their data publicly and say, for instance, as Fred Rivara found in the ‘90s, that having a gun in the home makes you more likely to be injured than if you don’t have a gun in a home, then they’ll be accused by Congress of breaking the rules and advocating for gun control.” | <urn:uuid:8258e606-7576-4ce1-befe-967ecb976f25> | CC-MAIN-2021-04 | https://www.pri.org/stories/2015-07-02/quietly-congress-extends-ban-cdc-research-gun-violence | 2021-01-25T05:37:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-04/segments/1610703564029.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20210125030118-20210125060118-00049.warc.gz | en | 0.969243 | 889 |
Microsoft offered details about its upcoming Windows Server 8 cloud backup service and made a beta version available to customers willing to test the new service.
The Microsoft Online Backup Service, which is backed by Microsoft's Azure cloud, allows files and folders to be backed up to the cloud for off-site protection against data loss due to disasters, wrote Gaurav Gupta, senior program manager on Microsoft's cloud backup team, on a Microsoft blog posted Wednesday.
The service uses Windows Azure BLOB (binary large object, or basic large object) storage as a way for customers to back up and recover data from any location over the Internet without the need to invest in new hardware, Gupta wrote. The Microsoft Online Backup Agent allows the service to work through the Windows Server Backup interface, he wrote.
The Microsoft Online Backup Service integrates with the Windows Server Backup utility for simple interfacing, configuring, and monitoring of backups, Gupta wrote.
The service provides such storage features as block-level incremental backups, compression, encryption, and throttling of network bandwidth during backups or restores.
Customers using the service automatically get verification of the integrity of the data, and can set retention policies as needed, Gupta wrote. "The Microsoft Online Backup Service accepts and implements retention policies to recycle backups that exceed the desired retention range, thereby meeting business policies and managing backup costs," he wrote.
The service does not support versions of Windows Server prior to Windows Server 8, nor does it support client operating systems, Gupta wrote.
Backups can be scheduled or done manually. For restoring data, users can choose from which volume data will be restored, as well as the date and time the data was originally backed up, he wrote.
The beta version of the Microsoft Online Backup Service is available to a limited number of test users, Gupta wrote.
Microsoft in January unveiled new reset and refresh capabilities in Windows 8 that will let users take their PCs back to an earlier state if they get into trouble. | <urn:uuid:0bcf1155-53fe-453c-8df9-330db4e473f4> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://www.crn.com/news/storage/232700523/microsoft-details-windows-server-8-online-backup-offers-beta.htm | 2017-10-23T03:33:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187825510.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20171023020721-20171023040721-00179.warc.gz | en | 0.92516 | 398 |

Ecology for Planners
harnessing complex problems
as tools for innovation
How does the valuing of nature affect planning decisions?
This studio explores important concepts to consider when working within the planning of the future. Both interpersonal reflection and sustainability become important themes here for delving into ecological thinking. Through this process we explore both survival as a community (ambiguity, vulnerability and cooperation) and then construct collective ideas around perspectives, beliefs and assumptions. Co- creation becomes integral, between both humans and more than humans.

Agribusiness Limoneira Co. in Santa Paula reported fiscal year and fourth-quarter earnings along with plans to expand lemon imports, increase overseas production and exports and build housing units.
Revenue increased more than 25 percent for the company's fiscal year, which ended Oct. 31, while net income also rose.
During the year, Limoneira, which grows lemons, avocados, oranges and specialty fruit, increased its citrus orchard holdings with leases and purchases totaling 1,355 acres.
Also, in August the company started using Associated Citrus Packers in Yuma, Ariz., to pack and market lemons.
For 2013, the agribusiness said it expects to add about 70 residential units to its real estate holdings after Ventura County Planning Commission approvals for new proposed developments.
However, real estate development decreased to 1 percent of Limoneira's overall business in fiscal year 2012 from 5 percent in 2011 and 6 percent in 2010.
In 2013, Limoneira said it expects to expand lemon imports from Mexico, Chile and Argentina to provide customers with lemons throughout the year. The grower also plans to increase international lemon production and exports.
The company is considering building a new lemon packinghouse or extensively upgrading its 80-year-old facility to lower packing costs by reducing labor and handling, Limoneira said.
Limoneira reported total revenue for the fiscal year of $65.8 million compared with $52.5 million a year ago.
Net income was $3 million on 26 cents per share compared with $1.6 million on 12 cents per share a year ago.
Agribusiness revenue grew to $61.5 million compared with 46 million a year ago. Third-party grower costs, however, doubled over the year to $14.6 million.
Limoneira reported that fourth-quarter revenue grew to $14.8 million compared with $10.9 million for the same quarter a year ago. Net income was $141,000 on 1 cent per share compared with a profit of $554,000 on 4 cents per share for the past year's fourth quarter. | <urn:uuid:ec6bb108-ff4b-478f-8151-a5d4b215bcfd> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.vcstar.com/news/2013/jan/16/limoneira-in-santa-paula-reports-big-plans-for/ | 2013-05-19T02:39:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368696383156/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516092623-00091-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.946585 | 439 |

New York-based makeup artist Daniel Martin’s two decades worth of experience speaks of his excellence in the best way possible.
He’s worked with beauty legend Pat McGrath, countless A-list celebrities, and was the man behind Meghan Markle’s wedding makeup. He used to be Dior Beauty‘s brand ambassador and has now officially joined the Tatcha family as the brand’s first global director of Artistry and Education.
He will be working closely with Vicky Tsai, founder of Tatcha, the beauty brand spotlighting traditional Japanese beauty rituals, on everything from product development to editorial content and beyond.
You could call this a longstanding friendship that’s now flourished into a partnership. “I’ve known [Tatcha founder] Vicky for over a decade, and I’ve always felt like a part of the Tatcha family because of our friendship,” says Martin. “I’ve worked with them on various projects throughout the years, and their products have been mainstays in my kit ever since I first discovered the Original Aburatorigami Japanese Blotting Papers.”
These blotting papers were Tatcha’s first-ever launch 10 years ago, and both the brand and Martin have come together to create a limited-edition version of this beloved product.
For Martin, who has worked on celebrities like Priyanka Chopra, Gemma Chan and Nina Dobrev, makeup and skincare are meant to complement each other.
“My makeup philosophy has always been about respecting the skin and using colour on the face as a way to enhance — not mask — the natural beauty beneath. This creates a beautiful balance of natural and polished makeup, which enables one’s inner beauty to come through,” he says. The most common skincare mistake he’s noticed is that of “using products that aren’t compatible with the skin types or trying to cheat your way to ‘perfect’ skin using makeup.”
We got the award-winning glow pro to share the skincare tips he’s mastered over the years and values the most.
Always remember to wash your face before going to bed. Your skin will thank you for it the next morning. Waking up with clean skin is half the skincare battle won.
Wear sunscreen every day, even if you’re not going outside. SPF isn’t just for the summer months! Whether you’re wearing makeup or stepping out bare-faced, wearing sunscreen is non-negotiable.
Find and stick to a skincare ritual that not only cleanses and nourishes your face but also your mind. Skincare and self-care are one and the same, so don’t be afraid to spend extra time with yourself before going to bed. It allows you to reset and recharge.
You don’t have to use eight products as long as you use four good ones that work for you. Take the time out to understand your skin and care for it accordingly.
Match your skincare with your foundation or base formulas. For example, using an oil-free foundation with an emollient moisturiser will cause the formula to separate after you apply it. First, figure out the base formula that best suits your skin type and then make sure all the products you use on your skin have a uniform base.
Always use a primer before applying any complexion products — I love The Liquid Silk Canvas. By keeping your makeup out of your skin, you will end up using less of it and prevent congestion or clogged pores. It may feel like an additional step, but priming makes a difference in the way your makeup looks. Use it once, and you’ll never do your makeup without it.
Don’t use products that irritate, strip or damage the skin — you don’t need to see or feel it to know it’s working! Gentle, efficacious formulas are your friends. Listen to your skin and be calm with it to care for it daily — you’re investing in yourself.

This paper presents a predictive maintenance framework for CNC machines focusing on a multi-stage prediction of machines’ health status. For the implementation of such a multi-stage prediction, the proposed approach includes two prediction layers: the cloud prediction layer and the local prediction layer. Each layer provides a prediction of machine health status in different timescale. The local prediction layer, based on data analysis techniques, is responsible to predict the health status of the machine for a short time period. Thus, this prediction can be used as an alarm aiming to prevent un-expected breakdowns. The cloud prediction layer, based on digital physical-based models, is responsible to provide a more general overview of machine health status using Prognostics and Health Management (PHM) techniques, useful for long timespan strategies definition. This paper presents the proposed approach and its benefits are described and discussed. The proposed approach will be implemented in the PROGRAMS project. | <urn:uuid:16024b8f-6aeb-468d-a5ca-b29731e1466a> | CC-MAIN-2022-21 | https://www.programs-project.eu/predictive-maintenance-framework-implementation-of-local-and-cloud-processing-for-multi-stage-prediction-of-cnc-machines-health/ | 2022-05-21T09:28:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-21/segments/1652662539049.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20220521080921-20220521110921-00305.warc.gz | en | 0.87499 | 186 |
