Sentara Martha Jefferson achieves Magnet redesignation
Excitement filled the air when Sentara Martha Jefferson learned they had once again achieved Magnet Recognition Program® designation from the American Nurse Credentialing Center. Sentara Martha Jefferson Hospital received official announcement of their re-designation on July 7, 2016.
The designation, granted to about 8 percent of U.S. hospitals, culminates a multi-year journey toward recognition for excellence in patient care, innovation in nursing practice and a supportive work environment for nurses.
“The Magnet journey builds teamwork, inspires nurses to become leaders, promotes research and evidence based practice, and challenges every nurse in the organization to find ways to make a difference in the lives of their patients,” noted Nancy Maloy, MSN, RN, NE-BC, vice president nurse executive at Sentara Martha Jefferson.
Hospitals applying for Magnet recognition first file several hundred pages of reports documenting that they are already meeting 49 quality measures ranging from falls with injuries to hospital-acquired infections and skin breakdown. If they meet those criteria, a three-day site visit validates the documentation while nursing team members are interviewed for their clinical knowledge and knowledge of the process. Finally, the Commission on Magnet reviews the findings and determines the final outcome of designation as a Magnet hospital.
“Maintaining Magnet recognition for the third time is an honor that reaffirms the hard work and dedication of our entire staff. I am so proud of this team and their continued commitment to provide high quality care to our community,” said Lesley Cook, MSN, RN, NE-BC, regional director of nursing excellence at Sentara Martha Jefferson and Magnet program director.
Sentara Martha Jefferson Hospital originally received magnet designation in 2006 and has successfully completed recertification of their status three times. Several other Sentara hospitals in Norfolk, Harrisonburg and Williamsburg have also achieved Magnet® designation. | <urn:uuid:515eab4a-593d-468c-bc98-0f0d2649778e> | CC-MAIN-2017-13 | https://www.sentara.com/charlottesville-virginia/aboutus/news/news-articles/sentara-martha-jefferson-hospital-achieves-magnet-recognition-program-re-designation.aspx | 2017-03-30T00:52:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-13/segments/1490218191444.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20170322212951-00259-ip-10-233-31-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.942259 | 389 |
Bulldog Baseball Inks Six in Early Signing Period
Nov. 24, 2009
RUSTON-- Six high school prep stars signed National Letters of Intent and will be a part of the Louisiana Tech baseball program in 2011, Coach Wade Simoneaux announced today.
"I like the fact that all our signees are high school guys," Tech head coach Wade Smoneaux said. "They all had opportunities to go elsewhere and chose Tech in the end. We don't usually go after junior college players unless we have to. With high school players we can bring them in and develop them as they learn how our program is run. I think that is why we have had so many guys drafted over the years."
Three of Tech's six signees will come out of Louisiana including home grown product Colby Johnson (Ruston/ Ruston HS), Eric Whitehead (Benton/ Benton HS) and Marc Picciola (Destrehan/ St. Charles Catholic). Joining the three Louisiana products will be out-of-state signees Beau Bayliss (Marshall, Texas/ Marshall HS), Cole Gilmore (Broomfield, Colo./ J.K. Mullen Prep) and Chris Sadberry (Holliday, Texas/ Holliday HS).
Johnson is a speedy left-handed hitting, right-handed throwing pitcher/ outfielder. As a sophomore the Ruston High star earned 2nd team All-District as a DH as well as being selected first team All-Parrish. Last season as a junior Johnson earned first team All-District as a first baseman along with first team All-Parrish and All-Northeast Louisiana Honorable Mention. He was also the starting quarterback for the Ruston football team this year.
"Colby has tremendous speed," Simoneaux said. "He could be a leadoff type of player for us because of his speed and he could also be a middle of the line-up or RBI guy for us because of the pop in his bat. We're excited about getting a local guy and Colby will be a great addition to our team."
Whitehead is a 6'3 right handed throwing pitcher out of Benton HS. Whitehead is a three-time All-District selection while also earning All-City Honorable Mention in the Shreveport Times last season as a junior.
"Eric has the chance to develop into a special player for us," Simoneaux said. "He really impressed our coaching staff over the summer and he'll have a real chance to play for us as a freshman next year."
Picciola is a dual-threat player as a right-handed pitcher and infielder. Picciola is a two-time All-State selection, once in 2A and once in 3A. He also is a three-time All-District player who as a freshman was names district 10-2A MVP and All-Metro MVP. As a sophomore he was selected by the coaches as the 3A state player of the year. In addition to his success on the diamond, he is also a three-year letterwinner in football and made the All-District team in 2008 as the team's quarterback.
"Marc came to our camp this summer and really stood out," Simoneaux said. "We clocked him at 88-91 miles per hour on his pitches and he also had some good breaking pitches. In watching him, it is clear he knows what he is doing on the mound and he will have a good chance to get some playing time next year as a freshman."
Bayliss is an athletic, combo threat who pitches and can play anywhere in the infield. The Marshall HS stand-out is a two-time All-District selection as a pitcher as well as a two-time All-Harrison and Marion County selection as a third baseman and pitcher. HE was selected as the team captain last year as a junior.
"Beau is a dual guy who is a real student of the game," Simoneaux said. "He is around the game all day, every day and just loves baseball. He is the kind of player we love here at Tech. He is the son of a coach and he is capable of playing anywhere in the infield for us."
Gilmore is an athletic, strong outfielder from Broomfield, Colo. The 6'3, 220 pound J.K. Mullen Prep star has been ranked the172 high school player in the nation by perfectgame.com after attending the perfect game showcase in the Metrodome last year. He has also been named a 2010 Under Armour preseason All-American. Gilmore is also a four-time letterwinner for Mullen's football team and was selected as an All-Conference safety as a sophomore.
"Cole is a big, strong centerfielder," Simoneaux said. "He was also a highly sought after football recruit as a safety which shows his athleticism. He has a chance to make a big impact in our lie-up next year as a freshman."
Sadberry is another dual-position player as he is a hard-throwing left handed pitcher who can also play the outfield.
"Chris is a strong power-pitching lefthander," Simoneaux said. "He'll have the chance be a two-way player for us as a freshman. He has been impressive on the mound, he plays the outfield well, and with a good arm and he has good bat-speed."
"Overall I think this is a fantastic class," Simoneaux said. "Our coaching staff and I believe that this is another very strong class. I have to give credit to Coach (Brian) Rountree and Coach (Fran) Andermann for another successful recruiting year."
Tech's baseball season will get underway Feb. 19 at 6 p.m. CT when the Bulldogs take on Alcorn State at J.C. Love Field at Pat Patterson Park. Fans are urged to reserve their 2010 season tickets now by calling the Tech ticket office at 257-3631.

From the age of 11, Goetz knew he would have his own dive centre and become a diving instructor one day. After diving all over the world, he decided almost 20 years later that Costa Teguise would be the ideal place for him.
Today he not only owns Daivoon, but he IS Daivoon. He puts his heart and soul into this small, family-style dive centre and with his wicked sense of humour and permanent smile, he always makes sure everyone has fun.
As a diving instructor he sets the rules underwater and ensures the safety of all his guests. His interest in diving is inexhaustible and he has an infectious enthusiasm for the sport.
Goetz uses his wealth of experience to get the most out of any dive.
Everybody who appreciates the individual touch and a little crazyness too will love diving with Goetz. | <urn:uuid:0f7f1777-d28d-4a0c-b566-60b73e360d56> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://daivoon.com/dipl-team-member-category/instructor/ | 2023-12-01T00:12:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100258.29/warc/CC-MAIN-20231130225634-20231201015634-00064.warc.gz | en | 0.979466 | 176 |

Much like any other fun activity, online gaming is a double-edged sword. All that a person is not obliged to do, but does for entertainment purposes only is fertile land for addiction. Namely, according to Esquire Magazine, playing Fortnite gave rise to over 200 divorces in 2018 alone. However, the issue before us is not that simple. There is a litany of side factors that we might fail to notice when estimating these statistics.
Specifically, the profile of the partner and his or her inclination towards addiction in general is the key segment. Henceforth, blaming games for a divorce is equal to giving credit to the coach for your talented child’s success in basketball.
In order to defend online gaming, we need to first realize what it is that gives it a bad name. We hear stories all the time, about drunks and nobodies who waste their last pennies in gambling venues without thinking for a split second. And to be honest, a majority of those are true. However, much like what we previously mentioned, this issue needs a more thorough analysis. The drunkard evidently has a fondness for addictive behavior. That sole fact makes him, or her, the perfect ground for further development of other addictive habits. In other words, partaking in an activity is entirely harmless, as long as you are the one with the reins in your hands.
“If you are in control, you are safe.”
What we are getting at is that anything can be harmful if not monitored.
The Measures of Precaution
The gradual and rapid evolution of the online gaming industry has led the market to expand simultaneously. The conventionally misunderstood and purely addictive hobby has turned into an entertaining activity that can be enjoyed by playing all sorts of casino products – such as immensely popular video slot games – completely for free, and not only real money. People’s perception of gambling is slowly but steadily changing and is heading in a good direction.
Why wouldn’t you try to use online gaming to your own benefit?
Partners in a successful relationship or marriage can sometimes find themselves lacking the same interests, and that is completely natural. Each and every single one of us should have an activity they enjoy regardless if the partner is part of it or not. More things to talk about when you get back home, right? Nevertheless, in times when you find the disparity between what you and your partner like a bit too concerning, it is time to take the matter into your own hands.
In tens of thousands of slot games that abide in the virtual world today, there are at least handfuls that will suit both your and your significant other’s liking. Perhaps you share a love for magic and Tolkien, so you can browse through the fantasy directory. On the other hand, maybe you both like watching the same TV shows, like Vikings for instance. Guess what, you can read about the blockbuster online game right now, and play it for free, on your desktop or even in mobile version!
And these certainly do not apply to marriages only. Prevent your partnership from sinking and losing that spark of joy by reveling in a fun activity that requires a duo.
And you can even make it a competition, for a little bit of harmless fun! | <urn:uuid:74fbb85b-ecee-4739-ab37-de0918b04b0b> | CC-MAIN-2022-27 | https://momblogsociety.com/bring-online-gaming-into-play-to-spice-up-your-marriage/ | 2022-06-26T06:07:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-27/segments/1656103037089.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20220626040948-20220626070948-00104.warc.gz | en | 0.956758 | 674 |
Danielle E. Kertis
My name is Danielle E. Kertis. I paint mixed media pieces. Acrylic on canvas with original photography. I've been in love with painting for about 14 years. I didn't even know I had any talent. My husband and I got our first apartment together and couldn't afford any of the beautiful artwork I wanted. So, I gave painting a try. Turns out, it's my gift! Most of all I lOVE it!!! I have always incorporated photographs into my pieces. It gives my whymsical imagery a realistic tinge. And gives me a chance to look at life through my camera lense. I have only had the opportunity to take one small class at the Wallingford Community Arts Center, but the saying "practice makes perfect" absolutely holds true. The more I paint, the more wonderful my paintings become. | <urn:uuid:f6b350f2-fad8-4ee8-b9df-d4270e14c855> | CC-MAIN-2017-17 | https://about.me/underanolivemoon | 2017-04-26T09:01:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-17/segments/1492917121216.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20170423031201-00277-ip-10-145-167-34.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.971624 | 180 |
“Do what you CAN do!”
Angel Faulk was diagnosed with meningioma – a type of brain tumor. But despite all the odds, she battled cancer and came out as a winner. She is now a fitness and health coach.
“I lost my hearing and after 3 years I finally got the diagnosis of a meningioma on the brain stem. This was a benign 🧠 Tumor, but treated like cancer because of location.”
“I was a very strong fitness instructor, never sick, so I was shocked to discover I had a brain tumor in the worse possible location. After a 14-hour long surgery I looked like scary monster. The tumor had crushed my auditory nerve and severely stretched my facial nerve. I lost the ability to smile or move the right side of my face. I had to relearn to walk, talk, swallow.
They told me it may be 1 1/2 years until I teach fitness classes again. But I was in the gym after 6 weeks and teaching Zumba, Spinning, Weights classes after 12 weeks! I never got my hearing or facial nerve back, but after facial therapy there was improvement. All was going well until a year later; I had an MRI at my checkup. I was devastated the tumor had grown back! I received 27 radiation treatments.
I lost my hair, had horrible spots on my face, was told I could lose my teeth. The worse part was having fever and chills for two weeks, losing 15 pounds, thinking I was dying. My children were in elementary and middle school. And the hardest part was missing out on their special activities and memories.
I’ll never forget my son saying, “at least we know it’s working.” My daughter developed an eating disorder and I was driving her to counselling too! I don’t know how I did it, but a Mom will do anything for her kiddos. It was after that when I started looked more into nutrition and supplements. I learned that I needed more antioxidants, less processed foods. That is how my ministry “the fitness angel” started. I began helping others get fit and healthy at the cellular level.”
Other Brain Cancer Survivor Stories:
“My children, Lydia and Ethan.”
“I can’t think of any. I always knew I would get through this with God’s help.”
“Let family and friends help you, listen to inspirational music, read uplifting books, pray and meditate on God’s promises. Eat healing foods and get the best nutrition possible!” | <urn:uuid:2b055b24-642c-4251-9778-014e69d85a00> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | https://cancerbro.com/pages/stories-of-hope/meningioma-survivor-becomes-fitness-and-health-coach/ | 2019-05-25T23:54:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232258453.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20190525224929-20190526010929-00107.warc.gz | en | 0.98441 | 556 |

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How should I get started?
Please review the entire Study Information document. The document will provide you with all the information that you need about the testing and training sessions. It will also provide you information about the using the TrainerRoad app.
2. Is there flexibility in the start date?
Yes. We understand that everyone's schedule is different and want to ensure that everyone can participate.
3. Do I need to notify you when I start the study?
No. The project lead, Michael Rosenblat, will monitor your progress through the TrainerRoad app.
4. Do I need to have a TrainerRoad account?
No. We will provide you with an anonymized TrainerRoad account.
5. How do I determine my FTP? Is this different than a normal FTP?
There are specific instructions in the Study Information and Instructions document. The FTP you are to use is different for the Testing Weeks and for the Training Weeks. This is so that we can use the information determined in the Testing Weeks to develop an individualized training program. To determine your FTP for the Training Weeks, please follow the instructions in the Study Information document along with the excel spreadsheet provided.
6. Should I use the normalized power to set FTP?
No. You should use the raw value, not the normalized power that is provided.
7. Why is the TrainerRoad calendar not set up for the recommended training schedule?
We understand that everyone's schedule is different and can change day-to-day. Therefore, we provided you with a recommended schedule in the user guide, but will allow for flexibility.
8. Can I perform resistance exercise during the study?
No. In order to maintain some consistency in the program participants can only complete HIIT or LICT sessions.
9. Do all training sessions have to be completed on the trainer?
Yes. We will be monitoring your training load using the TrainerRoad app. This includes both the HIIT and LICT sessions It will allow us to determine if any differences in training loads among participants influence the results.
10. Is there a maximum or minimum training load that I must complete?
No. You are required to complete two interval training sessions per week. However, you can complete as many or as few of the low-intensity continuous training sessions as you want.
11. How many days off should there be between HIIT sessions?
There should have at least 48 hours between HIIT sessions. This is to ensure full recovery.
12. Why is there different low-intensity continuous training (LICT) sessions for the testing and training weeks?
In order to program the LICT sessions Turing the training weeks you require the results form both the incremental exercise test (IET) and the time-trial (TT) test. You will not have the necessary results during the testing weeks to program the LCIT sessions correctly. Therefore, we provided you with two different types of LCIT sessions.
13. Do I need to submit the Food Diary?
No. The food diary is a tool we provide you with so that you can reproduce the testing environment. This will help to limit variations in results due to diet.
14. Can I use my own Food Diary?
Yes. The goal of the tracking your dietary intake is simply so that you can reproduce your diet on testing days.
15. Does it matter which phase in my menstrual cycle I start the training program?
No. However, it would be beneficial if you record your phase in the testing workouts. This way we can determine if menstrual cycle phase influences the performance measures.
16. What happens if I get sick and have to miss a training session?
The best suggestion is for you to continue the training program as if you did not miss the session. We will be able to monitor your progress. Hopefully, this does not happen. However, we will be able to perform a subgroup analysis based on total interval training sessions completed.
17. Will a lower training volume cause me to lose fitness or detrain?
No. There is a common belief that lower training volumes will likely lead to detraining. The primary variable to maintain or improve fitness is training intensity. The findings from a meta-analysis (currently in review) on all interval training studies conducted on athletes show that there is at least a 2% improvement in time-trial performance following an interval training program (regardless of the inclusion of continuous training). This does not mean that you will be guaranteed to see a 2% improvement, but it is highly unlikely that any detraining will take place.
18. The instructions regarding caffeine differ for the incremental exercise test (IET) and time-trial (TT), what should I do?.
You are allowed to consume caffeine up to 2-hours prior to the IET and the TT tests. There was a typo in the original instructions which has since been corrected.
19. Will I get to know the details of the other training groups?
Yes. When the study is completed we will publicize the details of the study?
20. Will I get to know the results of the study?
Yes. When the study is completed we will be publishing the results in a peer reviewed journal .We will also ensure that everyone who participated in the study has access to the analysis when it is ready to be made public.
21. I am a multi-sport athlete, can I perform other modes of endurance exercise?
No. In order to ensure consistency among the participants, we ask that you only cycle during for duration of the study.
22. Do I need to consume the same diet for both the IET and the TT?
No. The food diary is so that you can reproduce the same diet for the same tests. For instance, if you consume diet A before the IET, you should consume diet A again for the next IET. If you consume diet B prior to the TT test, please consume diet B again prior to the next TT test. | <urn:uuid:ab5eee8d-6be0-4e15-87f3-17368739f79b> | CC-MAIN-2021-04 | https://www.evidencebasedcoaching.ca/training-study---faq.html | 2021-01-22T18:42:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-04/segments/1610703531335.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20210122175527-20210122205527-00154.warc.gz | en | 0.934771 | 1,236 |
Digital distribution holds the potential of improved rather than weaker economics for film studios, Time Warner CFO John Martin said Wednesday.
Speaking at the Merrill Lynch Media Fall Preview conference in Marina Del Rey, Calif., he said TW has seen no signs that digital business is cannibalizing DVD sales or that analog dollars are turning into digital pennies as NBC Universal CEO Jeff Zucker has famously warned could happen.
For example, in TW’s day and date cable VOD trials, VOD buy rates are up more than 50% while DVD sell-through is up 10%, he said, adding though that the company will closely monitor for any signs of negative effects.
The VOD dollar unit contribution is 3.5 times better for the studios than in physical rentals, according to Martin. And digital sales, mainly on iTunes, see a 40% lift compared with the physical business, he added.
Martin also rejected the notion that new technologies train consumers not to buy but to rent content. “The wholesale percentage of rental versus sell-through remains constant” at about one-third versus two-thirds, he explained.
Martin also reaffirmed TW’s increased content focus, saying content is “the lifeblood of Time Warner” and predicting it will make up a bigger part of its business over the coming years.
Asked about a much-rumored potential acquisition play by TW for NBC Universal, Martin said he has “not heard anything” about G.E. being willing to sell its entertainment arm. He would only add: “We’d be interested in taking a look” as the conglomerate always is, but TW will only make disciplined deals.
Asked about ad trends, Martin said the weak U.S. economy has not hurt TW’s cable TV networks, where third-quarter momentum remains strong.
However, AOL has in recent weeks seen “some softening” in third-party network ad momentum and the auto and financials categories, he warned. “It gives us pause in terms of our confidence to ramp advertising in the back half of the year,” Martin said. | <urn:uuid:fb7f2c64-4b4d-44a6-b151-e38d0c78819b> | CC-MAIN-2017-09 | http://www.adweek.com/digital/time-warner-cfo-talks-digital-109674/ | 2017-02-20T13:29:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-09/segments/1487501170562.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20170219104610-00632-ip-10-171-10-108.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.950358 | 438 |
Officials release new details on NISP
Both sides of controversial water project speak out at this 2015 meeting.
A few new details about the environmental review process for a controversial Northern Colorado reservoir project have been made public.
The final environmental impact statement for NISP, the Northern Integrated Supply Project, is due in 2017, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will accept public comments on the document, the agency announced recently.
The final EIS will include additional water quality analysis that was left out in the last environmental impact statement released on the project, which proposes to build two reservoirs and fill them with Poudre River water for use by 15 communities and water districts. The new document will include updated environmental studies and address "refinements" to Northern Water's plans, according to a statement from the Army Corps.
"Refinements" probably refer to Northern Water's new plan to send some water through the Poudre River in Fort Collins before recollecting it at the Timnath Reservoir inlet.
Also, Northern Water will likely change the location of Galeton Reservoir because oil and gas wells exist on the current proposed site, Northern Water spokesman Brian Werner said Friday.
Another likely addition to the final EIS: more analysis of how NISP and several alternative water storage solutions would impact climate change. A new federal guidance recommends that federal agencies reviewing some proposed projects include analysis of greenhouse gas emissions and potential mitigation strategies, and the Army Corps said previously that it would follow the guidance if it was finalized before release of the final environmental impact statement for NISP.
In an email, Army Corps project manager John Urbanic wrote that the agency will "exercis(e) judgment" in considering whether to apply the new federal guidance to the review process for NISP.
After the Army Corps puts out the final environmental impact statement in 2017 and allows for a public comment period — usually a few months or more — the agency will announce a record of decision. If the record of decision approves permitting for the project, NISP opponent Save the Poudre plans to challenge the decision in court. | <urn:uuid:9ccc9d9b-57e6-4699-9797-11de33399bb3> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.coloradoan.com/story/news/2016/09/02/officials-release-new-details-nisp/89769652/ | 2019-07-21T17:47:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195527089.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721164644-20190721190644-00225.warc.gz | en | 0.940741 | 436 |

Megan Cartwright, ThirdLove’s Head of Data Science
Over the past five years, ThirdLove has grown to become one of the fastest growing brands in the US. We’re devoted to creating beautiful bras and products that make women feel comfortable and confident every day. Though we pride ourselves in our inclusive sizes and superior quality, our technology is often overshadowed. But it’s thanks to the fact that we’re a data-driven company that we’re able to provide unrivaled bra expertise to our customers. In effort to increase our visibility within the data science and engineering community and to highlight our own talented team, we recently hosted our very first Data Science Meetup at our San Francisco headquarters.
Kim Larsen, ThirdLove’s VP of Data
On Aug. 14, around 80 guests, including ThirdLove employees, came together for an evening of tech talk, Long Bridge Pizza, and beer, wine, and kombucha from our taps. ThirdLove’s VP of Data, Kim Larsen, moderated the event as our Head of Data Science Megan Cartwright spoke to the relationship between data science and fashion. We also welcomed our guest presenter, Brad Klingenberg, VP of Data Science at Stitch Fix, a company that values data just as much as we do. Both speakers discussed how their respective company uses data science to recommend the best possible products to their customer base.
Megan took the floor, making the distinction between ThirdLove and fast fashion, or clothing chains that are focused on manufacturing trendy products in the quickest, cheapest way. Here’s how ThirdLove is different. “The third option is great quality and sizing for everyone,” Megan explained. “That’s where data really enters this problem.” ThirdLove offers a total of 70 inclusive bra sizes and 39 stunning styles, all made possible by data science, of course.
Data scientists and engineers make up a big chunk of the staff, which you wouldn’t have found 20 years ago,” ThirdLove co-founder Dave Spector shared. “I think this is the place to be; it’s the industry to be.”
Following their talks, about half the group stayed behind to chat with Brad, Megan, and other members of the data science team. The event piqued attendees’ interest in ThirdLove as we had hoped, and many even inquired about our open rolesbefore leaving with a discount card for their first order.
Overall, our first Data Science Meetup was a success, and we thoroughly enjoyed being able to showcase our new office space and engage with potential recruits. We hope to add more talent to our data science team as soon as possible! | <urn:uuid:da06ef4f-8e3b-4bb2-87d1-1906bc350d64> | CC-MAIN-2021-21 | https://blog.thirdlove.com/thirdlove-talks-tech-data-scientists-meet-up-at-our-san-francisco-headquarters/ | 2021-05-15T15:07:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-21/segments/1620243991370.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20210515131024-20210515161024-00044.warc.gz | en | 0.95961 | 570 |

Was just looking around when I came across a tamagotchi called kakeibo ginza street. I have some sort of idea on what it is but still don't understand. If any could help me with this I'd be extremely grateful because it looks like a cute thing to own but I'm not sure if its worth it. Also if anyone owns one, is it a good little tamagotchi?? Thanks so much!!
It isn't a tamagotchi. It is an add on for the uratama and things like that. It is a market/bank and you can buy various different items on it from various different shops. Keeping GP in the bank makes interest too.

Double Distillation Column Process for Separation of Azeotropic Mixture (Pyridine-Water) using Pressure SwingDistillation (PSD)
Here, firstly feed (FEED) is introduced to 1st distillation column (High pressure Vessel) in which high pressure is generated. From column, there are two products are come one is topmost product (Distillate-1) in which mixture of pyridine and water is present but, in that pyridine, as in lower amount as compare amount of water and second one is bottom product (Bottom-1) in which high concentrated pyridine is taken out. After that Topmost product of 1st column is going to Low pressure Vessel (Distillation column), in which low pressure is generated, there are also two products come from second distillation column same as first but it has different composition. Topmost product (Distillate-2) has small amount of Pyridine and water both which is then recycled to the first distillation column with help of recycler (RECYCLE) and Bottom product (Bottom-2) has water composition around 97%.

Romanian film wins Berlinale’s Golden BearEuropost
The Romanian director Radu Jude’s “Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn”, a sexually explicit dark comedy of the everyday aggression experienced by a teacher in contemporary Bucharest, won the Berlin Film Festival’s Golden Bear award on Friday, Reuters reported.
Judges hailed the film, starring Katia Pascariu as the teacher whose private sex tape is leaked, triggering a witch hunt by parents of the children at her school, as a “lasting art work” that “attacked” the viewer. “It captures on screen the very content and essence, the mind and body, the values and raw flesh of our present moment in time,” Israeli director and jury member Nadav Lapid said announcing the award.
The runner-up Silver Bear Grand Jury Prize was pocketed by the Japanese film "Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy" directed by Ryusuke Hamaguchi. South Korean director Hong Sangsoo also got a Silver Bear for the screenplay of his film "Introduction."
Other prizewinners at this year’s online Berlinale included German actress Maren Eggert, who played a woman resisting a perfect android’s charms in “I’m Your Man” and Hungary’s Denes Nagy, awarded best director for the war movie “Natural Light”.
Due to the pandemic, this year's Berlin Film Festival has been divided into two parts: the online segment was from 1 to 5 March and the award ceremony will be held from 9 to 20 June. | <urn:uuid:9c9b3bc0-6612-434e-8696-b9e63a4b8374> | CC-MAIN-2021-31 | https://europost.eu/en/a/view/romanian-film-wins-berlinale-s-golden-bear-33391 | 2021-08-03T23:35:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-31/segments/1627046154486.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20210803222541-20210804012541-00074.warc.gz | en | 0.95936 | 339 |

I said, "I want to ask, 'Why does God allow suffering?' but that seems too big a question to inflict on a small group for a 45-minute discussion." The facilitator insisted that it was a good and important core question :)
A couple days later, I saw a friend mention a Radio National "Encounter" program called "Ashes," looking at the Book of Job. (Transcript and audio available here.)
There were a few things which really stuck out at me as I read the transcript.
1. As with so many stories in the Hebrew Scriptures, this story includes arguing with God.
Relatedly, I'm really intrigued, for example, by the midrashic [I think -- I forget where I encountered this] reading that in the aqedah (the binding of Isaac -- Genesis 22), Abraham was supposed to refuse to sacrifice his son -- he fought back against God's plan to destroy the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah just a few chapters earlier after all (Genesis 18:16-33) -- and that the blessing he got after the saving of Isaac wasn't as great as the blessing God had initially planned to bestow on him.
Jason Kalman: Elie Wiesel, for example, has written that even though God behaves in an unjust manner with regard to Job, Job is really at his greatest point heroic for standing up to God, for challenging God. And as such, human beings have a responsibility in the face of all injustice, whether divine or human, to stand up for the righteous.One of the things we talked about in our small groups was the issue of justice -- our obligation to help bring about the kin(g)dom of God here on earth.
2. how do we suffer
David Rutledge: It brings up this question of why, which is not answered in the text, why do these terrible things happen to Job, why do the righteous suffer, why does God allow suffering? If that question is not answered, if we take away that question, what kinds of questions are we left with? Is Job in some sense a book about how to suffer?The speakers on the program were careful to not justify suffering by the good that can come from it, but I also appreciated this articulation of what we can learn from suffering -- if I can't learn about God, at the very least, I should be able to learn how to respond to that suffering, either by becoming more empathetic, or by actually physically going out and taking what I've learned from the disaster to help avoid future disasters.
Jason Kalman: Well, it may be. Certainly contemporary Jewish teachers have tried to read it that way. The question of the 'what' of suffering really becomes dominant. 'Since I've now suffered, what do I do as a result?' Certainly Job's attempts to seek out God, to try and find the just path, is a model that becomes important. Certainly Job's challenges to God's justice take on a particularly important role after the Holocaust. Not to explain the why of suffering, but how one should respond. That is, we should always demand justice. We should always learn from the event: if I can't learn about God, at the very least, I should be able to learn how to respond to that suffering, either by becoming more empathetic, or by actually physically going out and taking what I've learned from the disaster to help avoid future disasters.
3. This next section brings to my mind the analogy about how you only get [naturally-occurring] diamonds after incredible amounts of pressure have been exerted on carbon.
Mark Vernon: One answer to the question of why we suffer is that it's a necessary part of our make-up, it's just what it is to be biological creatures, to be psychological creatures. There's no happiness without sadness; there are no good things in life without struggle. But that doesn't seem to be a hugely satisfactory answer to me, for two reasons. One is that it seems rather calculating, and if there's one thing not to be when it comes to trying to deal with suffering, that is calculating. Reason compounds suffering, if you like.I'm in some ways positively inclined toward an "ends justify means" line of explanation, but I also recognize that that's not always the best response.
Mark Vernon: I don't think there's any rational sense to be made of it, but there is perhaps experiential sense to be made of it. One of the things which I noticed when I was a priest is that often the times when people are suffering very greatly, when they've got ill children or when someone who's loved has died, and they're often the most meaningful moments in people's lives. It's then that they know that they really loved the person who has gone, or that they really care for the child, and they're very intense experiences in some way that they never felt so alive as during that time. And so there's a mystery here, if you like, that while you would never will that suffering upon people, it can be a very profound experience.
4. the issue of choice
Havi Carel: I think this emphasis on choice is something that's very important to the discussion of illness and suffering, because even though the illness and the suffering might be unavoidable, and inflicted on you by an external process, you still have the choice as to how to respond to it. The discovery for me that I was the only person who could decide how to respond to it, how I would respond to it, was an immense sense of freedom, precisely because it restores some of the sense of autonomy that is really massively damaged, at least initially when you become ill.I think this is arguably the hardest one -- to think about the choices we have in respond to difficult situations, especially when it feels like so many of our options have been stripped from us.
5. God shows up.
David Rutledge: Well, it's interesting you talk about maintaining a relationship with the God of the Book of Job, because in some respects, a relationship is precisely what that God disavows. God's engagement with Job, apart from allowing him to be afflicted with suffering, is limited to saying, 'I'm God and you're human, you don't understand me, so keep quiet and just take what's meted out to you'.I don't know how to articulate my thoughts on the "I'm God and you're not, so sit down and shut up" section. Every time I start to talk about where/how/when I think I tend to think about this section, it's like I realize that's not actually accurate. I will say that I've come to appreciate more the "It's a mystery" line, just kind of general.
Jason Kalman: Well, I think there is that issue - but there's also the fact that Job demands a personal encounter with God and God actually responds. I might not like what God says, but the fact that God shows up, I think, offers a redemptive note.
6. We keep living.
David Rutledge: What about the end of the story? We've mentioned the way in which it's made the book problematic for readers who are addressing questions that come up through the Holocaust, the experience of suffering there. Job is apparently rewarded, which seems to contradict everything that's gone before. How do you read that ending?I'd never thought about that before -- that Job starts over after having lost everything, sets himself at risk for losing everything all over again. (Though I do remember it feeling bizarre to me that Job got a whole new family like magic, as if you could just replace people you loved like they were interchangeable.)
Robert Eisen: Well, it is a very troubling ending, and let me share with you the comments of a couple of the more obscure commentators in the Jewish tradition, who basically think that it was tacked on as a way of kind of just appeasing the masses. You know, in other words, Job isn't rewarded in the end, but the author had to put something in there to make them feel good.
I'd like to go in a different direction by saying that it is part of the book, and the issue of whether God rewards him is one thing, and I'm not sure I have a good answer to that - but the thing that really strikes me about it is that he gets back into life. Who's Job at the end of this incredible of tragedies? Is he a broken person who simply gives up? No. He goes back, he raises a family, he gets married and raises a family, and that to me is the most important message that I think a Jew can respond to - and maybe any human being - which is that if you experience tragedy, don't give up.
The fact that Job engages in a dialogue, the fact that at certain points in the text he protests against God, I think that's very modern, that appeals to my sense of the need to talk about injustice, to engage God in dialogue in which you question him. I think we should all do that, all people of faith. And again, the fact that in the very end Job has enough faith to raise a second family. Many Jews lost families in the Holocaust, and it just is a marvel to me that they made a new life in Europe, America, and raised children again. So having that faith not necessarily in God, but in human living, and in moving on past suffering, I see that in Job and I find that very inspiring.
7. We are not in control.
Laurie Woods: It's one of those few books I think in the bible that says life isn't about control - and I think that's something that touches us in the 21st century, we're all control freaks, we all want to be in control.
And we can't control God, and Job realises he can't control anything that's going on in his life, so he sits back, not so much agnostically, because as I said before, he knew God through tradition but now through life, experience, suffering agony, he's come to know God in a different kind of way, and through struggle, he has been able to emerge transformed. | <urn:uuid:c8abb04e-963d-4ad8-a652-5c6445514dc7> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://windtheme.blogspot.com/2009/03/ | 2017-06-27T07:02:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128321025.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20170627064714-20170627084714-00078.warc.gz | en | 0.982877 | 2,121 |

'Why don’t you just build a wall around Heath Town and call it an open prison?' – Goldie calls for investment in Wolverhampton
Music star Goldie has called for more investment in Wolverhampton's youth and arts services.
Goldie, who grew up in Heath Town and Whitmore Reans, has also criticised the housing system for forcing people to 'live on top of each other'.
"Why don’t you just build a wall around Heath Town and those other estates and call it an open prison?" said the star, now aged 52.
"I’m ashamed of some of the politicians there.
"I’ve never had a political agenda - and never will, while there are people falling asleep at the back of the House of Lords. They can’t tell me about the youths.
"I came from that hood. I get it."
Goldie was born in Walsall as Clifford Price on September 19, 1965.
His dad Clement, originally from Jamaica, left shortly after Goldie was born. His mother Margaret, who was born in Glasgow, was a popular singer in the pubs and clubs of the West Midlands.
Barely more than a toddler, Goldie was just three when his mother placed him into foster care (though she kept his half-brothers). Over the next 15 years, he bounced between a series of foster homes and local government institutions around the Walsall area.
"They’ve created a horrendous situation with everyone living on top of each other," added Goldie.
"They’ve spent money to put in speed cameras all along there, which they say reduces speeding but it doesn’t - it brings in money.
"The local government take away the youth clubs - you may as well rip out my heart while you’re at it.
"Why not give kids an area to paint? They should be funded so that they can work in a lock-up.
"There’s security at nightclubs, so why don’t they have places that are open in the daytime where kids can go that have security?
"There’s no shame in having to have security - that’s the world we live in now.
"There should be places where kids can grow together. They can then invite people in from other areas, so they can get to know each other.
"These young fathers should take the responsibility of taking them to places like that too and do right by their kids. They need to look out for their own."
The star went on to say that while the local authority has invested money in Heath Town, he believes it has only affected the area's outside appearance; rather than addressing its deeper issues.
"If you had a timelapse camera in Heath Town and you could see how much it’s changed…" he added.
"Things being pulled down and replaced to make it look better from the outside - but with what outcome?
"They do all this refurbishment, and it looks better, but where’s the money for the youth?
"Wolverhampton has always been very close to my heart."
A council spokesman said: “It is good to hear Goldie still has an interest in his hometown.
"However, now he is living so far away in Thailand, perhaps he is not aware of the large-scale improvements being made on the Heath Town estate.
“This will transform the area and provide better housing with gardens and facilities for the community. Wolverhampton is also home to the £5.5 million The Way Youth Zone, which thousands of young people are benefitting from.
"The city also has a thriving arts and culture scene. And something Goldie would no doubt approve of – a sanctioned space for street artists.” | <urn:uuid:a5cb032a-4435-48ed-961e-a08738e0a864> | CC-MAIN-2018-51 | https://www.expressandstar.com/entertainment/wolverhampton-entertainment/2017/11/03/why-dont-you-just-build-a-wall-around-heath-town-and-those-other-estates-and-call-it-an-open-prison---goldie-calls-for-investment-in-wolverhamptons-youth-and-arts/ | 2018-12-10T22:04:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-51/segments/1544376823445.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20181210212544-20181210234044-00308.warc.gz | en | 0.97949 | 800 |
Pig MRSA is now self-sufficient too. It no longer needs sick pigs and greedy panicking veterinarians frantically over-feeding antibiotics to pose a risk to humans.
13 October 2011 -The MRSA bacterium, which is resistant to antibiotics, has spread rapidly in the past few years on pig farms. Extensive use of antibiotics is thought to help it spread, but reducing the use of antibiotics is not enough to eliminate MRSA on pig farms, says Els Broens in her doctoral thesis.
At the beginning of 2007 the incidence of MRSA on pig farms stood at 30 percent, but by the end of 2008 it had gone up to 75 percent, Brons reports. Large pig farms (with more than 500 sows) were particularly likely to be MRSA positive. The bacterium is transported from farm to farm in livestock trucks. Many pigs also become infected on the way to the abattoir, because the MRSA bacterium is present in other pigs in the truck. Pig farmers and abattoir workers can become infected with the bacterium too, if they come into contact with live pigs. Abattoir staff who only work with dead pigs do not run any risk, says to Broens.
In order to cut the transmission of MRSA from pigs to humans, the bacterium needs to be combatted at source: on the farm. Only reducing antibiotic use will not solve the problem says Broens, because the resistant bacteria can spread and thrive among pigs that have not had any antibiotics. Besides reducing antibiotic use, Broens argues for hygiene measures in order to prevent the spread of resistant bacteria on and between pig farms. This requires a joint plan by farmers, politicians, supermarkets and vets, says the PhD candidate.
Els Broens is due to receive her PhD on 28 October from Mart de Jong, professor of Quantitative Veterinary Epidemiology. | <urn:uuid:c16f1eee-82f7-425e-820b-9e9831371846> | CC-MAIN-2018-30 | http://animal-epidemics.blogspot.com/2011/10/mrsa-in-pigs-now-self-sufficient.html | 2018-07-17T19:15:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-30/segments/1531676589892.87/warc/CC-MAIN-20180717183929-20180717203929-00375.warc.gz | en | 0.961922 | 379 |
This past weekend my family and I went to the Plaza Art Fair in KC. This will be the second year we have gone (last year I was quite pregnant!), and I always enjoy the artwork and just being surrounded by so much creativity.
This year, I came accross an artist who's work astounded and thrilled me. (wow, that sounded less cheesy before I typed it!) I was drawn into her booth by colors and lovely vintage silhouettes, and when I got closer I literally gasped in amazement and excitement!
Made By One Girl, and she creates collages of vintage objects out of vintage objects. Her booth was filled with lovely vintage fashion prints made out of vintage sewing pattern pieces. It was stunning, really.
I spoke with her for a few minutes at her booth. She was really lovely. I asked her how she got started with such a unique and cool concept, and she told me after design school she had a ton of vintage patterns and items and joked that she started cutting them up so she wouldn't have to learn to sew. ha! I admire her creativity.
**All photos were taken from Made by One Girl's website. I am in no way affiliated with, or compensated to advertise for them, I was just a huge fan, thought this was a magnificent find, and wanted to share with all my friends! | <urn:uuid:30f85e14-4f70-4d70-97cd-1d0da5481a3a> | CC-MAIN-2019-09 | http://onesassyhousewife.blogspot.com/2012/09/something-i-love.html | 2019-02-23T10:05:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-09/segments/1550249495888.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20190223082039-20190223104039-00629.warc.gz | en | 0.990344 | 275 |
History of Rome
A moveable feast of endless courses, a glorious architectural patchwork, a living masterpiece is that eternal city whom we name Rome. As the seat of the Italian government and home to the Vatican, Rome is a city with genuine capital credentials.Explore the ruins, churches, piazzas and museums of the city to unearth this.
Rome is more than Renaissance art and Roman relics. There are also medieval art and Baroque relics. I kid-there's just a lot to see in Rome. Attractions in Rome typically involve touring museums and ruins. Rome is also more than its past because it's present is pretty fascinating, too. Even people who aren't interested in art will marvel at the sweeping perfection found in Renaissance mainstays such as the Vatican, St. Peter's Basilica and the Borghese Gallery. Seeing the Coliseum is one thing, but seeing the Coliseum in your mind's eye while a guide details the violent spectacles and roaring crowds found within its walls is something different entirely. From the ruins of the Empire to the church relics, Rome is pretty much a huge museum. A glimpse of Michelangelo's depiction of The Creation is worth the queues you have to negotiate to visit the Vatican Museums. Galleria Doria Pamphilj harbours some of the extraordinary wealth of the Doria Pamphilj family, a pillar of Rome's papal aristocracy. Rome's municipal museum of modern and contemporary art is located not far from Piazza Fiume north of the city centre in a converted former Peroni brewery.
The centre of the Catholic Church, the Vatican State, is situated in Rome, in the area around St. Peter's Basilica it is very easy to find a The Vatican area also has its share of shops where you can enjoy all kinds of shopping with a wide variety of religious artifacts. The nearby Via Cola di Rienzo, starting at Piazza Risorgimento is also an excellent shopping area for leather goods and .women's clothing. A trendy spot to visit and shop at is the Trastevere near the area of Campo dei Fiori where many of the now ultra famous designers began their quest for fame. Towards the Trevi Fountain one can find a numerous selection of "made in Italy" shoes, leather goods and accessories with reasonable prices, along with an abundance of other boutiques and souvenir shops. Rome's best-known and most picturesque fruit and vegetable market set up their wares at Campo de' Fiori.
St Regis Grand Hotel Rome, Marriott Grand Hotel Flora, Majestic Hotel Rome, Westin Excelsior Hotel Rome, Splendid Royal Hotel Rome, De La Ville Intercontinental, Eden Hotel Rome and Hassler Villa Medici Hotel Rome are among the 5 star hotels of Rome offering plentiful facilities and a cozy comfortable stay as well. .
Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino Airport also commonly known as Fiumicino Airport, is Italy's largest airport with 36.3 million passengers served in 2010, located in Fiumicino, 35 km from Rome's historic city centre.The airport serve as a hub for Alitalia and based on total passenger numbers it was the sixth busiest airport in Europe, and the world's 26th busiest airport in 2010. | <urn:uuid:dfe6fd58-65cc-4c72-a379-ab22e6238ef4> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.my-rome.co.uk/history.aspx | 2022-01-20T23:40:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320302706.62/warc/CC-MAIN-20220120220649-20220121010649-00330.warc.gz | en | 0.955577 | 679 |

THC tinctures are typically safe and well tolerated by most people. It is important to start with a low dose and increase slowly as needed to avoid any negative effects. Patients should always consult with their healthcare provider before starting any new treatment, including THC tinctures. | <urn:uuid:3b7f6f2b-faa7-4ca5-955a-66602266dfef> | CC-MAIN-2023-14 | https://hempercamp.com/the-best-thc-tinctures/ | 2023-03-26T14:33:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-14/segments/1679296945473.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20230326142035-20230326172035-00423.warc.gz | en | 0.95355 | 1,137 |

Wake up early the morning of October 20, turn on the TV and tune into CBC at 9 a.m. PST. Instead of watching Saturday morning cartoons you can catch the national network premiere of What Happens Next? a new documentary about Dan Mangan.
One of the most celebrated singer/songwriters to come out of Vancouver in recent years, the musician first came to the nation’s attention with “Robots”, a song with the searing refrain “Robots need love too.” The song was taken from his 2009 album Nice, Nice, Very Nice. Oh Fortune, in 2011, followed, and brought the singer even more acclaim, including a number of awards.
Mangan is known for his intelligent, insightful lyrics, his folk-pop melodies and his entertaining stage show, which he’s taken to countries all over the world. On Oh Fortune he also showed a willingness to branch out and experiment with his sound by adding noisy electric guitars, horns and strings to the layered arrangements.
For his efforts, this year he was awarded with two Juno Awards and three Western Canadian Music Awards, as well as a BUCKY Award from CBC Radio for Best Song (“Rows of Houses”).
Mangan has also opened for, or shared stages with, a diverse array of artists, including Lucinda Williams, Metric, Jackson Browne and many, many more. What Happens Next? follows Mangan and his band as they prepare to play one of the biggest shows of their career, a sold-out hometown concert at Vancouver’s Orpheum Theatre. | <urn:uuid:a9ec58e4-3aaa-4fc6-bcb2-3952330d8eea> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.insidevancouver.ca/2012/10/15/dan-mangan-documentary-tv-premiere/ | 2013-05-25T08:11:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368705749262/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516120229-00043-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.980253 | 332 |

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Technavio has announced the top five leading vendors in their recent global radio frequency (RF) signal generator market 2017-2021 report. This market research report also lists four other prominent vendors that are expected to impact the market during the forecast period.
Competitive vendor landscape
According to the research analysis, the global RF signal generator market is characterized by the presence of international and regional vendors. However, international players are increasing their presence, while regional vendors are finding it difficult to compete with them in the global market, in terms of quality and price.
The RF signal generator vendors are focusing on developing technologies for wireless communication networks. They are collaborating with other vendors, network operators, and research centers for developing 5G to gain more knowledge about new technologies, and for the development of an ecosystem that supports this technology. For instance, in March 2017, Rohde & Schwarz and MediaTek announced a collaboration on test concepts for 5G wireless communication technology. MediaTek has a global presence in 4G and has cooperation with partners.
The demand for mobile computing devices is growing among common users and business travelers, who have a pressing need for portability and connectivity. Consumers want Internet connectivity at a lower cost and high data rate. Thus, mobile computing devices are incorporating new communication technologies such as LTE, 5G, 4G, and LTE-A.
“The need for continuous maintenance and quality testing of frequency and spectrum of these new communication technologies such as LTE, 5G, 4G, and LTE-A technologies is driving the demand for RF signal generators,” says Raghu Raj Singh, a lead semiconductor equipment research analyst from Technavio.

Sponsored Rider - Lisa Holohan
Hi, I'm Lisa Holohan from Holovale Arabians up here in Sunny QLD.
Holovale Arabians is made up of Myself, Darian Wise and the ever patient husband Gary.(Chief financier)
Gary & Lisa
We show both Purebred Arabians and Derivitives in both the show ring as well as a bit of dressage and the odd trail ride to keep the horses fresh and not bored. We train weekly with Tor Van Den Berge as well to keep us on the right track!
Favourite Achievement - That's a hard one.... Maybe winning my first Australian Championship with my home bred, broken in and trained by me, Anglo Gelding, Holovale Practical Magic. Or winning an Australian Championship on Holovale Dynamite (also home bred, broken and trained by me) 5 years after the vets thought he wouldn't last another year!
Proudest Moment - Watching Darian win the very prestegious 2018 Derivitive Young Horse Under Saddle on my home bred Arabian Warmblood in Sydney. I also taught Darian to ride when she was 8 so to see her grow over the years and take on my freshly broken in horse after I had a serious accident last year and continue onto this.... PRICELESS! I cried so much when they won.
Equestrian Idol - I have many! Charlotte Dujardin - to watch her talent on a horse is breathtaking. Closer to home, Terry Cowan, Vince Corvi and Tor Van Den Berge - without the knowledge of these men over the years, we would never of dreamed of even competing, let alone doing as well as we have been lucky enough to do over the years.
How I got into horses - When my mum married my step father when I was 10, we moved to acreage and my mum rescued two horses from the knackery. We knew nothing about horses but I had been obsessed with them long before then, which was weird as I had had nothing to do with horses. Every school project was on horses, I had EVERY horse book, and then when we got the rescues, that was it! My mum worked her butt off to buy my first pony when I was 11. I received her for Christmas and she promptly ran me into a tree and gave me concussion. Couldn't stop me getting back on and she taught me to ride, the hard way!
No 1 Tip - Always be kind and supportive to others. A smile or encouraging word can make someone's day. You never know what it has taken for some people to get on that horse, ride at a show etc....
Favourite PW Products:
For Work: My Gel Seat Pull Ons. Super comfortable - even on the naughtiest horse, I don't move in the saddle, and no rubbing like some other gel seat jods!
For the Show Ring: My High Waisted Dressage Breeches - they are really comfy and flattering and hold in all the bits women worry about!
For the Horses: The Earlwood Zip Hoods - awesome fit, cotton, and hold the plaits in perfectly!
Favourite saying - can I have a few?
"My goal is not to be better than anyone else, just to be better than I was yesterday"
"Shorter reins, Longer arms!" - Got that one from Terry Cowan and use it all the time!!
Darian would say its a tie between that one OR " Whats the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result!" OR "THERE IS NO SUCH WORD AS CAN'T!" LOL

Let's get political for a moment, shall we? Now, if you were in Iran right now, you would probably run pretty far away, too. At least far enough away from the capital, Tehran, where riots and protests have broken out due to the presidential election held on June 12. According to The Boston Globe, this is the largest street protest and riot in Tehran and other cities since the 1979 Iranian Revolution...eep!
Here's the scoop.
So, there is the current president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who was running for reelection against candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi. Mousavi was supported by many young voters because of his reformed views to loosen the country’s restrictions and to improve ties with the United States. Well, Ahmadinejad won the election, and many were not pleased. Nope, not one bit. Supporters of Mousavi are suspicious of fraud and a rigged election and set out to express their frustrations.
So far seven people have been killed while many other protestors have been wounded by baton beatings. You can view some of the pictures of the election and the protests here. They aren't horrific pictures; they are actually really great photographs that document this situation visually for the world to see.
Mousavi has appealed the election results and as of today Iran's Islamic leadership is prepared to conduct a limited recount.
This might be boring to you, but it was just a little break down of what is going on in the world. After working at a newspaper, I took a break from following current events, especially political events, but am slowly trying to get back into it without getting myself bummed out about the world. It's surprising how little knowledge people have about our own political system, let alone other countries. Take this political quiz to see how up-to-date you are on our nation’s office holders and current events. You might be sadly surprised. | <urn:uuid:f76450c1-54f0-4f79-9b5e-fd211124ca48> | CC-MAIN-2016-30 | http://blogs.familyeducation.com/parenting/chatterbox/juliefen/and-iran-so-far-away | 2016-07-27T19:10:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-30/segments/1469257827077.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20160723071027-00069-ip-10-185-27-174.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.982958 | 389 |
Low-flying helicopters may be visible along the Boston Marathon route this weekend, according to the National Nuclear Security Administration.
The federal agency is seeking to measure naturally occurring background radiation to establish baseline levels, as part of a security and emergency preparedness plan for Monday’s Boston Marathon, according to a statement from the agency.
The helicopter will fly over the Athlete’s Village at the starting line area in Hopkinton and survey the entire route, plus an additional 1,000 feet on either side of the path, according to the agency.
One twin-engine Bell 412 helicopter equipped with the radiation sensing technology will fly over areas at 150 feet, or higher, at about 80 miles per hour. Flyovers will occur during the day, said the statement.
The helicopter began surveying Thursday and will continue sweeping the route until Sunday, said the statement.
The security agency seeks to make the public aware of these flights so they are not alarmed, said the statement.
The background radiation survey is done so that if radiation is detected during the Marathon, authorities can distinguish between normal levels and possible terrorist activity.
The agency performs such surveys for many high-profile events annually, said the agency.Jacqueline Tempera can be reached at email@example.com.

For those of you who are regular readers, the lowered costs of living in another country is a familiar topic. For those of you who are new to the scene, this might be something you aren’t aware of simply because you’ve never been informed of just how much money you can save by living abroad. But when you start spending more time in developing countries, the amount of money you can put back into your pocket is staggering in its scope.
Such as picking up produce at local markets as well as saving your grocery shopping for market days when you can pick up produce and fruits for a fraction of their normal cost…which means you can walk away with savings that are worth hundreds of dollars per month and thousands of dollars per year.
In the accompanying video you’ll see me give you a basic breakdown of the type of savings I enjoy by shopping at the local level while living abroad as an expat. While the average grocery bill for an American is $6,500 per year (according to the Department of Labor as reported by TLC ), I spend a mere $1,000 per year in comparison. That’s $5,500 savings per year, and yet I’m eating the exact same foods that I was when I was living in Colorado…it’s just that I’m purchasing things in a country where I’m not charged an arm and a leg for simple groceries.
Think about that for a minute. Let it sink in. I know it’s hard to imagine, because you (readers in The West/U.S./U.K.) are so used to paying such obscenely high prices for your groceries that it must sound like an impossibility to be able to save over five thousand dollars on your annual grocery bill. And remember, these numbers are from the U.S. government itself…and they only represent the grocery bill for a single, average, median-cost-of-living American. The grocery bill for couples double…and when you add kids into the equation you can see that number quadruple or beyond. (Assuming average, middle-class Americans. Remember that these numbers are the “average”; some people spend more, some people spend less, through coupons and smart shopping).
Now think about this: if the average household (family of four) is spending $6,500 per year, per adult, that’s $13,000 per year. Throw a couple of kids into the mix and you can assume a minimum of $20,000 per year on food alone. Now, compare that to living in a place like Mexico City or Cancun, where two adults can eat like kings on a mere $2,000 a year. Add a couple of kids into the mix and you are talking about around $4,000 a year.
That’s basic, grade-school math that anyone can see. $20,000 a year versus $4,000 a year for a family of four. For two adults it’s $2,000 per year versus $13,000 per year. For a single individual, it’s $1,000 per year versus $6,500 per year. The savings by living like a local are literally thousands of dollars a year back into your pocket.
Don’t believe me? Just check out the following video for the most basic type of evidence. I’m only going into tomatoes, mangos, papayas and onions…when you utilize local prices and market days you can get all of your produce for pennies (I mention broccoli in the video; you can find it as little as 6 pesos per kilo), you can buy whole chickens at the store for a mere one dollar (stocking up on 10 or 15 of them and sticking them in your freezer), you can go to the local fish market and get fresh fish for pennies per kilo…it’s absolutely mind-boggling the amount of money you can save by living like a local in foreign countries around the world.
Forget only saving pennies or a few dollars here and there by clipping coupons. You can save tens of thousands of dollars on your family’s grocery bill simply by choosing to live in another country and utilize the basic principles of living like a local.
And it’s not just Mexico where you find these local markets. While farmer’s markets might be a rarity in the U.S., and to a lesser degree in the U.K. and other Western countries where the almighty Supermarket Chains rule the world with their barcodes and government-affiliated buildings, in most developing countries they are the preferred way to shop. When I was living in Bulgaria it was the Women’s Market in Sofia, and the same while I was living in Bogota, Colombia. And visiting Greece, Italy, Turkey, Romania, Serbia, Macedonia and the variety of other countries in Eastern Europe and the Mediterranean.
And let’s not even start with the gimmick that is “organic” food and produce. When you are shopping at the small, local markets you are getting farm-fresh produce and whole foods that are organic and pure simply by the very nature of the fact that the small farmers can’t afford to use the expensive pesticides and “government approved” fertilizes, so they are growing things as they have always been grown: in the dirt, using nothing more than sweat combined with Mother Nature’s guidance.
For example, in a recent trip to Chable, Mexico, the locals all have their own gardens as well as their own chickens, pigs and cattle. They grow their own produce and feed their pigs, chickens and cattle the same food they themselves are eating and growing in their gardens…and they aren’t using pesticides or chemicals. They can’t afford them! Instead, they are growing things straight out of the ground and feeding their animals the scraps from the table…which in turn ensures their meat is pure and free from antibiotics and other chemicals that mass-produced food contains.
We watched a neighbor kill three chickens for dinner, and when we picked up 15 fish for the family to eat for dinner in the evening it was freshly caught from the Usumacinta River. The neighbors chickens were running around the yard behind the house in the morning. The tamales we had for breakfast were made with fresh-ground corn pulled straight from the merchant’s back yard. Our cucumbers and lettuce and tomatoes for the salad were all farm-fresh and grown by the neighbors and sold at the local market. And for pennies in comparison to what you would pay in the U.S. and other Western countries for “organic” produce.
*The numbers presented represent total food costs per year, not merely groceries. The DOL statistics also take into consideration eating out. Those families or individuals who prepare their own meals rather than eating out spend considerably less. Also bear in mind that this post is written from a U.S. perspective. Those people already living here in Mexico or other countries where the cost of food is at the local level already know this fact!
If you’d like more information on how to get the most out of your hard-earned dollars or euros while living abroad, The Expat Guidebook details how I went from $3,000 a month in bills to less than $650 a month and how I live like a king in developing countries around the world. The above post is an excerpt from a larger section detailing local markets and negotiation for lowered costs of living.

Oct. 15, 2013 — Many American diets fall short of meeting nutritional guidelines resulting in burgeoning obesity rates and health problems across the nation. Statistics show that most Americans consume only half of the daily recommended amount of dietary fiber. Now, a research team at the University of Missouri is addressing the fiber deficit by including citrus fiber in ground beef while retaining the quality and taste of the meat.
Ayca Gedikoglu, a doctoral student studying food science in the MU College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources, and Andrew Clarke, associate professor of food science, recently completed the first test on a citrus meatball recipe. The test consisted of three batches of meatballs, with varying percentages of the meat substituted with citrus powder, to see how much of the sweet and tangy powder could be added without adversely affecting the meatballs’ texture and cooking characteristics. The test used 1 percent, 5 percent and 10 percent increments.
Gedikoglu discovered that the citrus fiber increased the cooking yield of the meatball recipe, and that the texture and color of the meatballs remained acceptable when keeping fiber at the 1 or 5 percent levels.
A restaurant-sized serving of Gedikoglu’s citrus meatballs, containing 2 percent citrus powder, contains approximately five grams of fiber. Traditionally, meatballs contain no fiber.
The health benefits of dietary fiber, mainly found in fruits, vegetables and whole grains, include helping maintain a healthy weight, preventing or relieving constipation, and reducing the risk of diabetes and heart disease. Soluble fiber, found mainly in whole grains and some fruits, is particularly beneficial for diabetics, because fiber slows sugar absorption and improves blood sugar levels. Fiber tends to make a person feel full faster and stay full longer because it is less “energy dense,” which means the product contains fewer calories.
Gedikoglu suggests citrus powder as a replacement for bread crumbs in meatball recipes. Citrus powder, made from citrus peels, can be purchased online at a relatively inexpensive price. Based on her initial test, Gedikoglu also thinks that adding citrus powder to some hamburger recipes would capitalize on the tangy citrus flavor.
Next, Gedikoglu intends to conduct a series of taste tests. She also will study the potential antioxidant benefits of citrus powder. Citrus fruits, particularly their peels, are rich with flavonoids, a nutrient in plants that can help prevent diseases in humans such as cancer and cardiovascular diseases. | <urn:uuid:0d6264bb-9ed2-45b0-93f8-1474e3f0cf0c> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.yournaturalhealth.com/natural_health_news/2013/10/adding-citrus-fiber-to-meatballs-improves-nutritional-quality/ | 2022-08-07T16:41:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570651.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20220807150925-20220807180925-00663.warc.gz | en | 0.939966 | 506 |
hi! welcome to my new section of the blog, back to basics.
when i started cooking, i had no idea what the hell i was doing for a long time. it’s taken having an obsession with food and solely reading food related content for the past like 4 years to get where i am today, and i still have so far to go! even though i’m not an expert yet, i’m asked so many questions on the regular, i feel like a food encyclopedia! i get asked everything from “how do i eat healthier” to “what does “free range” really mean” to “how long do i cook this fish for?”, and i’m also always asked for things like my go-to recipes and favourite products.
since imparting my food knowledge onto other people is what i consider to be the height of fun, i thought i would have a spot on the blog dedicated to sharing with you some tried and true recipes you should have in your back pocket, basic how to’s, and general knowledge of italian cooking (and cooking in general). instead of sifting through the million (BILLION) recipes, articles and bits of information that google has to offer and trying to determine on your own which is the best, i’m gathering all of the things i’ve learned over the years in one place for you! make sure to keep me in your bookmarks for quick access, and of course, let me know if there are any specific questions or requests you have for this section!
first lesson in the curriculum: classic tomato sauce. this doesn’t even require a recipe, and something that you should always have the ingredients on hand to whip up. this is the BEST TOMATO SAUCE OF ALL TIME, it’s perfect for any occasion, anytime, anywhere, and i usually eat it with a spoon straight from the pot. i stumbled upon marcella hazan’s famous sauce from the essentials of italian cooking cookbook years ago and never looked back. i tweak it a bit each time, sometimes leaving the onion in and pureeing it, sometimes taking it out but adding some basil at the end leaving it chunky, but however you decide you want to make it, there’s no way you’re not going to be obsessed with this rich, bright, velvety sauce. it tastes like sweet tomatoes at their purest form, but with a silky, full mouthfeel.
all you need is 4 ingredients and 45 minutes – the perfect sauce to have in your back pocket for unexpected dinner guests, a cold winter night, or whenever you’re hungry, really.
the most important aspect is that you’re using san marzano tomatoes – look for the ones that are certified D.O.P – the rest is all to your preference!
basic tomato sauce
1 28 can san marzano tomatoes
1 stick unsalted butter
1 small white onion, halved
salt, to taste
add the tomatoes, butter and onions to a pot. bring to a boil and then reduce to low heat. simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally to break up tomatoes by pressing them against the side of the pot with your spoon.
add salt to taste throughout the cooking time.
when done, you can remove the onion or keep it in and blend with an immersion blender. | <urn:uuid:ff8aa791-b2b2-4f01-a92f-94d84b63a659> | CC-MAIN-2018-34 | http://lesswithbread.me/tomato-sauce/ | 2018-08-16T01:57:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-34/segments/1534221210408.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20180816015316-20180816035316-00600.warc.gz | en | 0.94131 | 715 |
Rompers are usually really hard for me. As a tall girl, I can never find the right fit. I love ones with either adjustable straps or a tie-strap like this one. It makes for a great swimsuit cover up or you can button the front (there's a little snap button) and take it for a spin around town on your beach cruiser.

HUffies React to Maduro Becoming ILLEGAL President of Venezuela
Imagine if, upon the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt, that the Secretary of Commerce Henry Wallace was ILLEGALLY sworn in as President rather than Vice President Harry Truman simply because Roosevelt had designated Wallace as his successor. Of course, such an action would have been universally protested because it was clearly UNCONSTITUTIONAL. However, that is pretty much what just happened in Venezuela. The Venezuelan constitution states that upon the death or the exit from office of the President that the Speaker of the National Assembly, NOT the Vice President, becomes president. However, because Hugo Chavez designated his big, lumbering, vice president, Nicolas Maduro, as his successor, the Chavistas have ILLEGALLY declared him the president rather than the National Assembly president, the tiny, wiry Diosdado Cabello. Anyway, I was curious as to the reactions of the DUmmies and/or KOmmies to this very clear Chavista violation to the Venezuelan constitution. Guess what? It was such an embarrassing move that both the DUmmies and KOmmies are NOT commenting on it at all. Therefore, I had to check out the slightly more reasonable HUffies (only a bit more reasonable because divergent views are not automatically tombstoned) as you can see in the reactions to this story, Nicolas Maduro Sworn In As Acting Venezuelan President, Succeeds Hugo Chavez. It will be fascinating in the future to find out the reactions to this illegal presidency from not only the DUmmies and KOmmies but also from other leftists such as Sean Penn and Jesse Jackson who attended the Chavez funeral in Caracas as he was prepared to be embalmed for his crystal tomb ala Lenin. So let us now watch the HUffie reaction to the new ILLEGAL president of Venezuela in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, anticipating more entertaining leftwing excuses for the ILLEGAL power play, is in the [brackets]:
Nicolas Maduro Sworn In As Acting Venezuelan President, Succeeds Hugo Chavez
[Make that ILLEGALLY sworn in.]
CARACAS, Venezuela — Nicolas Maduro was sworn in Friday as Venezuela's acting president, using the occasion to launch blistering attacks on the U.S. as well as the political opposition, which objected that the ceremony violated the country's constitution.
[How dare they point out that my ILLEGAL act is ILLEGAL!!!]
Late President Hugo Chavez designated Maduro as his successor before he died Tuesday of cancer. Maduro had been Chavez's vice president.
[Ironically, if Chavez had gone to the USA instead of Cuba for treatment, he would probably still be alive instead of smelling the sulfur.]
The country's 1999 constitution says the National Assembly speaker becomes interim president in the event of a president-elect's death or inability to be sworn in. The constitution also says a presidential election should be called within 30 days.
[I gotta be wondering if part two about an election will also be violated.]
Opposition leader Angel Medina said earlier Friday that the opposition would boycott the swearing-in ceremony, and the vast majority of opposition legislators did not attend. Former U.S. presidential candidate, the Rev. Jesse Jackson, attended the ceremony as did Ecuadorean President Rafael Correa.
[Will some reporter out there actually perform an act of journalism and ask Jesse Jackson if the Maduro presidency is a violation of the Venezuelan constitution? Okay there is more to this news story but the most important part has been presented. Now on to the HUffie reaction...]
I see no violation of the constitution as of yet. As vice he takes control just as ours would in the US. I am just glad the poor and middle class are empowered thanks to chavez. So whoever ends up in charge will have to live up to the high expectations of the people. People first over profit. Occupy wall st would be proud. Hopefully venezuela will remain 5th most happiest place to live or better. Hopefully the US hits the top 10 some day. This will be impossible as long as money is allowed in politics with no limit.
[A HUffie moron who confuses his constitutions since the Venezuelan constitution clearly states that the president of their National Assembly assumes the presidency when the former president enters the Gates of Hell.]
the vice president does not take over if the president dies or is not able. you may want to read the venezuelan constitution.
[A voice of reason corrects the moron.]
Violation of their constriction is clear....the Natinal Assembly Speaker is to be sworn in per ther constitution...not the foreign minister/former bus driver.
[Hmmm... I wonder if any DUmmie making this point will be tombstoned. Of course, this is a subject as yet too embarrassing for them to address.]
Yes, how terrible that they have less poverty in Venezuela than in the US, that there are less children on the streets and going hungry and that their elections have been recognized as freer and fairer than those in the US. Terrible thing Socialism. If you only knew what it was.
[Thank you for verifying that there are brainwashed HUffies.]
that is TOTALLY untrue JOHN....I have a home next door in COLOMBIA.....I know FIRST HAND how poor venezuela is.
[I actually was in both Colombia and Venezuela a little over a year ago. Despite being oil rich the infrastructure was falling apart in Venezuela. For example, it is almost impossible to drive more than a block without coming upon large potholes (huecos). I remember one pothole being big enough to swallow a small car. Paint everywhere fading, buildings crumbling, and even filthy royal palms. Yes, I always assumed royal palms everywhere were majestic. Well, they are when the the trunks are WASHED but just about all the royal palms I saw in Venezuela were filthy. Then when I crossed the border from Venezuela to Colombia, a "miraculous" transformation: smooth roads, well-maintained buildings, and majestic CLEAN royal palm trees. The town of Cucuta in Colombia was vibrant with happy shoppers. Oh, one bit of criticism, the casinos in Cucuta SUCK. I mean the 20+ year old slot machines just took your money with almost no payouts. Also the casino atmosphere was like the inside of an ordinary grocery store. However, in general Colombia with its more free enterprise system was superior in every way to crumbling Venezuela.]
Since this President-designate is acting against the Constitution of Venezuala, that should be enough for the UN to get together and impose sanctions.
[From the UN? Don't make me laugh!]
Just what Venezuela needs, another song and dance con to take their money.
[Chavez scammed about $2 billion for his personal fortune and Cabello about $1 billion. No wonder the infrastructure in Venezuela is falling apart. The Chavista thieves have stolen their oil wealth.]
Hmm..let's see, the interim president is actually the head of the National Assembly, accoridng to the Venezuelan constitution, yet they had Marduro "sworn in" as the acting president, in violation of the constitution and their courts say nothing. Believe me, Venezuela hasn't been democratic for 14 years. Even if they do hold a sham election it will simply just be a coronation.
[I can't wait to hear what excuses our liberals come up with to defend Maduro.]
Amazing how a country can be controlled by one party and their allegiance to not giving up power at any cost. It will be an interesting thing to watch this so called democracy for the next couple of months. It's apparent Hugo's people will not go down easy.
[No matter how the election goes, the Chavistas will claim they won. Of course, they also control the ballots.]
He has neither the charisma nor the gift of gab necessary to maintain a cult of personality . The Ides of March blow strong in the South . This should be amusing .
[Speaking of the ides of March, Maduro better not turn his back to Cabello. Chavista vs Chavista.]
Meet the worlds newest Billionaire while he works to help the poor in Venezuela
So typical of an authoritarian, socialist dictatorship. Keeping Chavez stuffed and under glass to be gawked at by his followers is an effort to keep him alive in their minds if not in fact. This is idol worship at its worst.

Since the financial crisis began in 2008, employment, unemployment and self-employment figures have been up and down like a metaphorical Yo-Yo. Last week the UK’s economy breathed a sign of relief after figure showed unemployment had dropped by 46,000 in the three month to July (although this growth was attributed to temporary employment due to the Olympic Games, so we’re not out of the woods yet).
Despite the turbulence, the underlying trend has been increases in both unemployment and self-employment, the logic being that as the private and public sectors shed employees to cut costs (particularly the latter) many were choosing to go it alone as a freelancer or contractor rather than seeking another full-time job. The PCG announced a few months ago that, according to their research, the total number of freelancers in the UK had risen from 1.4 million to 1.6 million in just two years.
Given the good people at the Office for National Statistics publish employment figures every month, we thought we’d take a closer look at the available data to see exactly how fast self-employment and freelancing is growing.
General picture of employment
The vast majority of workers in the UK remain in full-time employment – 31.8 million of the 39 million working age population, to be precise. The self-employed number is somewhat more modest – 4.5 million according to the latest figures. Here’s how those figures (including unemployment) have changed since 2006:
The trends observable in this chart are:
- An overall increase in the working population of the UK
- A noticeable dip in full-time employment between 2008 and 2010
- A slow growth in unemployment
Changes to the employed workforce
At this macro level, fluctuations are quite hard to observe. To get a clearer picture of what is happening, we can take a close look at how the makeup of the UK’s employed workforce is changing. Using figures from the beginning of 2006 as a benchmark, one trend is clear if we look at the percentage change in employment status:
While the number of people in full-time employment has remained roughly the same and the number of unemployed individuals has grown steadily, the number of people classing themselves as self-employed has jumped dramatically, peaking in Q1 2012, when more people were classed as self-employed than at any time since records began.
There are a number of issues with the data provided by the ONS. Primarily, many freelancers form a limited company and choose to no longer class themselves as self-employed. Secondly, only a portion of those who class themselves as self-employed would call themselves a “freelancer”.
Interestingly, a large portion of the growth in self-employed individuals can be attributed to over-50s who have been made redundant, see little chance of finding new employment and so start their own business.
These unknowns aside, it is clear from the available data that the number of freelancers in the UK is growing, and that growth is accelerating.

Alongside the U17 Slam at Forfar today, six teams (Forfar x2, Kinross x2, Aberdeen and Perth) are competing in an under-12s competition. Here they all are. Jill Macdonald, the rink's CDO, says, "Great to see all these young people on the ice, and getting away from the usual Christmas activities behind the computer or Wii! So many parents have come to watch and support."
Jill also suggests that perhaps the parents get a bit of piece and quiet with the kids out on the ice, but I suspect that watching your offspring curl is not the most relaxing of experiences!"

Back in August, when it was revealed that Chris Christie had given an unreported $46,000 loan to Michele Brown, his top deputy at the US attorney’s office, we had a sense there was more to the story than we’d yet learned.
And today’s revelations from the New York Times help fill out the picture. Simply put, a close look at the unusually close relationship between the two — as well as at other evidence that Christie retains ties to his former colleagues in the prosecutors’ office — strongly suggests that in the service of his bid for governor, he may have improperly politicized an office that’s supposed to be an independent administrator of justice.Let’s look at a time-line of relevant events:
⢠2002: Christie takes over the office as US attorney.
⢠2003: Christie promotes Brown, who has been a federal prosecutor since 1991, to counsel, the No. 4 position in the office.
⢠2007-08: Christie and Brown take 16 trips together on state business during Christie’s tenure as U.S. attorney, the bulk of them occurring during these two years, according to public records requested by the Corzine campaign and given to the New York Times. A junior prosecutor, Kevin O’Dowd, accompanied them on many of these. One such trip is to Las Vegas’s Venetian hotel and casino in Las Vegas last year, where Christie addresses a convention of medical device-makers — an industry his office had been probing.
⢠September 2007: Christie gives Brown a $46,000 mortgage loan. The plan was for her to repay it with monthly payments of $499 over 10 years.
⢠Early 2008: Christie promotes Brown again, giving her the additional title of executive assistant.
⢠December 2008: Christie resigns as US attorney to prepare to run for governor against Democratic incumbent Jon Corzine.
⢠Soon After: Brown is promoted to first assistant, the No. 2 job in the office.
⢠February 2009: Christie suggests that his former colleagues in the prosecutors’ office remain loyal to him, and that he’s talked to them about jobs in his administration should he be elected.
He tells a group of supporters:
I’ve got a group of assistant U.S. attorneys sitting down in Newark still doing their job. But let me tell you, they are watching the newspapers. And after we win this election, I’m going to take a whole group of them to Trenton with me and put them in every one of the departments.
⢠March 2009: Brown reportedly takes over responsibility from another staffer in the office for responding to a public records request from the Jon Corzine campaign. Among other things, the Corzine team had requested information on Christie and Brown’s travel records, and on Christie’s expenses.
⢠June 2009: Brown is alone in urging law enforcement colleagues to announce charges in a major New Jersey corruption bust by July 1. She reportedly told colleagues that she wanted to ensure that the bust occurred before Christie’s permanent replacement as U.S. attorney had been appointed — presumably in order to ensure that Christie got the credit.
⢠July 23: The corruption arrests are made. Despite not meeting the July 1 deadline, Christie — under whose tenure as U.S. attorney much of the investigative work took place — still appears to benefit, in part because the new U.S. attorney wouldn’t be appointed until October.
⢠August 2009: The AP reports that the Justice Department’s Office of Professional Responsibility is probing whether Marra made inappropriate politicized comments in announcing the corruption arrests. Asked about corruption at a press conference to announce the arrests, Marra said:
There are easily reforms that could be made within this state that would make our job easier, or even take some of the load off our job. There are too many people that profit off the system the way it is and so they have no incentive to change it. The few people that want to change it seem to get shouted down. So how long that cycle’s going to continue I just don’t know.
⢠August 2009: A New Jersey TV station reports on the undisclosed loan. Christie apologizes for his failure to disclose it, and characterizes it as simply a loan to a friend who was in financial need.
⢠Less Than Two Weeks Later: According to a New York Times source, DOJ brass tells Christie’s interim replacement, Ralph Marra, to remove Brown from her position coordinating the office’s response to the Corzine campaign’s FOIA request, because of the obvious conflict of interest. It’s that same day, says the source, that Brown abruptly resigns from the office, saying she does not want to become a distraction from the prosecutors’ work
⢠Soon After: Brown takes a job at a law firm with close ties to Christie. The firm had represented one of the companies identified as targets in Christie’s investigation of kickbacks among makers of medical devices. Brown had been the top prosecutor on the case, and she and Christie had negotiated a settlement in which the company paid a fine and avoided criminal charges.
This wouldn’t be the first time that Christie has been accused of politicizing the U.S. attorney’s office. In September 2006, his office leaked word that it was aggressively investigating Rep. Bob Menendez — the New Jersey Democrat who at the time was in a tight race for the Senate — over a rental deal. Control of the U.S. Senate hung in the balance, and the leak pleased national Republicans.
Menendez was never charged. Around the same period, Christie talked to Karl Rove about his plan to run for governor, according to Rove’s testimony to a Congressional panel probing the US attorney firings. So doing what he could to please Rove would have been a smart career move.
One non-partisan expert at the time told the New York Times: “I think you really do have to question the timing, particularly the subpoena of Menendez’s tenants. That strikes me as having very important political implications.”

NEW YORK (AP) - A pair of social gathering areas are being added to the second deck of Yankee Stadium, cutting seating by 500 to 800 seats.
New York said Monday it is adding the Stella Artois Landing to sections 232A and 232B in left field and the Michelob Ultra Clubhouse to sections 207 and 208 in right field. Both areas, which are covered because they are below the top deck, will be accessible to fans with game day tickets and will be available as pregame party spaces for groups of 20 or more.
The areas will be open for Yankees games and NYCFC soccer matches.
Several social areas had been added before the 2017 season.
New York said many of the lost seats will be replaced by standing tickets.
Capacity last year was listed at 47,309, down from 50,287 when the ballpark opened in 2009. | <urn:uuid:f6af19ec-0add-4726-ba64-d2c5ae4434e4> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.fox5ny.com/sports/yankee-stadium-adds-2-more-social-gathering-areas | 2020-10-01T17:09:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600402131777.95/warc/CC-MAIN-20201001143636-20201001173636-00718.warc.gz | en | 0.947659 | 177 |

Dissertation on shame. Chapther 12.1 Theory and practice
I will first reflect upon the traditional dichotomy between theory and practice (which can be illustrated by a theoretical researcher investigating the field of practice) and discus an alternative perspective using Nicomachean Ethics (Aristotle 1984) as a starting point for bringing the fields of theory and practice closer together (Ramírez 1995). Then I wish to reflect upon active interviewing and grounded theory in a constructivist perspective, before I discuss how I have used this in the methodology and design of my exploratory study of the concept of shame.
Fontana and Frey (2005) argue that although interviewing others implies asking questions and getting answers, this task is much more difficult than it may seem at first. Russell Bishop (2005) writes that
Much qualitative research has dismissed, marginalized, or maintained control over the voice of others by insistence on the imposition of researcher-determined positivist and neo-positivist evaluative criteria, internal and external validity, reliability, and objectivity ( Fontana and Frey 2005: 129).
Such a view maintains the distance between the objective, theory-seeking researcher (theory) and the subjective respondent who is the source of the empirical data (practice) that can be given to the researcher if the correct scientific methodology is used. Holstein and Gubrium (1995) say that the subjects being studied are usually seen as passive vessels containing answers to the experimental questions put to respondents by interviewers and that validity results from the successful application of the traditional interviewing procedure. Active interviewing represents an alternative perspective by being:
A form of interpretative practice involving respondent and interviewer as they articulate ongoing interpretative structures, resources, and orientations with what Garfinkel (1967) calls “practical reasoning” (Holstein and Gubrium 1995: 16)
Ramírez (1995) speaks of theory and practice as two of our most common dichotomies. We spontaneously associate theory with thinking or knowledge, and practice with doing. The first sits in our head and the other in our hands. The question is whether one can think without doing, or do anything without thinking. Ramírez explains that we are responsible for our actions, because we are conscious of them. Thinking can therefore be considered a form of action.
Knowledge, Ramírez (1995) explains, is a problematic word, because we often use it to denote an objective result or a product. To know something is to have something inside one’s head, but also to manage or to cope with something. Knowing something is first and foremost an activity and involves the competence this activity forms in the individual. Aristotle (Nicomachean Ethics) writes about theory as a way of living. The Ancient Greek word for theory (Greek: theoria) does not mean the same thing as the word theory means as we use it today. We most often think of knowledge as an objective result (passive) while the Ancient Greeks were inclined to think of it as an activity (active). In Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle did not see theory as the product of scientific activity, manifested in compositions and stored in texts or other information media. Aristotle used theory to refer to the activity that is produced when we investigate the world around us.
Scientific knowledge must not, according to Aristotle, be seen as the scientific product which is attained, or the objective result, but the subjective capacity to attain such results, through theoretical activity. Theory can thus be understood as a verb: a productive and creative activity, a form of doing. If doing means building a house, composing melodies, or caring for the sick, then theory is an activity concerned with using words in different situations in order to describe, codify and store these descriptions as knowledge which can be used by others.

Langley Middle School hosts Jump Rope for Heart
South Whidbey will be hosting a Jump Rope for Heart event later this month at the Langley Middle School gyms.
This event will include basketball, volleyball, jump roping and other activities related to fitness and health. Students and community participants are encouraged to bring a $5 donation for the American Heart Association for education and heart research.
Jump Rope for Heart is from 1 to 3 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 26, and everyone is welcome. This is the 10th annual Jump Rope for Heart event held in the South Whidbey School District and the 22nd year that South Whidbey High School teacher Craig Stelling has led it.
“I look forward to hosting this event this year with other PE staff members and health professionals, and hope we have a great turnout for the cause of fighting heart disease,” Stelling said. | <urn:uuid:c0b47616-1804-44f7-ab0c-466141f0a516> | CC-MAIN-2016-30 | http://www.southwhidbeyrecord.com/community/139442423.html | 2016-07-28T12:28:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-30/segments/1469257828282.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20160723071028-00289-ip-10-185-27-174.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.923246 | 217 |
I love your dogs, and I have yet to meet them. I think if Olive lived with you, she'd weigh 40 lbs more than she does now, though.
They say all dogs go to heaven, Ray. If that's true you'll be up there too, to feed them pancakes.
That's the best....you're the best.

1. What I wrote about the mouse is very true. No fiction here. However, if you want you can relate it to the political scenario of Nepal.
Yes, we have to buy a new mouse for Nepal-machine. And the mouse is not other than, I believe, republicanism.
Meanwhile, let the people—the computer experts—to decide whether this mouse is compatible to the machine they will be using.
2. In the “Prachnada lai Prashna”, the live interaction programme with Comrade Prachanda broadcast by the BBC radio, Comrade P said that personally he has no will to become president of Nepal.
Ok, let me believe him what he said regarding the presidency. But this riposte of the Maoist supremo to the question of a general person, if I am not wrong, was more or less propagandistic. Otherwise, why his party and particularly he has propensity of imposing an individual’s name to the doctrine and other such things that the Maoist party appears to be abiding by? To the point, why the name Prachanda-path? Why not some other name(s)?
Why the avarice of name on the supreme commander of people’s liberation army who ventured to say no to presidency?
Hypocrisy? Probably, yes!
Let me recall Arthur Schopenhauer, a 19th Century German philosopher, saying:
“Wealth is like seawater; the more we drink, the thirstier we become; and the same is true of fame.”
However, if I were into politics, I might not say no to the post—at least not for the propaganda. But being president would not be only thing for me to achieve. If needed, I would be ready to sacrifice myself.
At some point in future, if I, with some quantum leaping vision, decide to tread into active politics, to be the president of a new Nepal through democratic means will be my target.
3. Comrade P denied that his party people killed Pundit Narayan Prasad Pokharel. May be the assassination of the priest was not supported by the party high command; however, his denial is a blatant lie.
A sister organisation of the CPN Maoist was behind the brutal killing of the popular preacher in Lumbini yesteryear.
4. Comrade P accepted that the Maadi-massacre was the greatest shortcoming in the armed Maoist movement in the country.
Showing a sense of guilt, Prachanda has said that the party may “make public” the cadres who carried out the explosion in a crowded commuter bus in Chitwan district despite the party’s ruling out.
If what he said is only to become popular, it is to be denounced. If he has set up his mind to not to forgive the wrongdoers, it is welcome.
Meanwhile, no excuse for whoever are the wrongdoers! But I know the top guns will be granted an amnesty and the lower level workers will be reprimanded if not punished.
4. Why nobody dared to ask questions about the rampant extortion? There is economic terror among people because of the Maoist cadres and workers of other sister organization of the party now.
Suman Kharel of the BBC would have asked him a question regarding the imposed request by them for a “handsome donation.”
5. One day when there will be the elections for the Constituent Assembly, if other democratic forces do not come forward with issues regarding the elimination of monarchy and founding of a new Republican Nepal, I won’t mind voting the Maoists.
I mean. I and the Maoists have only one thing in common: wish to see establishment of the Republic of Nepal.
However, they will love seeing their autocratic communist modality, and I will love accepting any government elected by the people—provided people are choosing the people to take care of themselves without any intimidation.
5. I have got at least five mice for my PC. And, all of them are poorly functioning. I don’t have mood to buy a new one because I don’t have money to afford for it.
Thus, I have chosen the best among the worst. This PHILLIPS is functioning better than the Zoltrix. Why to keep the one that is useless and creating problems? My machine hung because of the mouse problems. I may throw that non-functional Zoltrix now.
However, if this too starts giving problems, I will have to see the Genius, the old one that I have stashed away in the shelf. I may clean the ball and remove the dust. But if it doesn’t work, I will have to try with other two.
But I know I have one day to buy a new one.
6. Procrastination is the art of keeping up with yesterday.

Wacke, also called dirty sandstone, sedimentary rock composed of sand-sized grains (0.063–2 mm [0.0025–0.078 inch]) with a fine-grained clay matrix. The sand-sized grains are frequently composed of rock fragments of wide-ranging mineralogies (e.g., those consisting of pyroxenes, amphiboles, feldspars, and quartz). The grains are angular and poorly sorted with many minerals retaining growth forms that resulted from low abrasion. The matrix, which contains appreciable amounts of clay minerals, may constitute up to 50 percent of the volume. Of the clay minerals, chlorite and biotite are more abundant than muscovite and illite; kaolinite is absent. The abundant matrix tends to bind the grains strongly and form a relatively hard rock.
Common structural features of wackes include repeated graded bedding and such deformational features as folds and deformed bedding, which appear to have formed soon after deposition; cross bedding is absent. Cyclic sequences of deposition are common within wackes, with basal sandstone followed by laminated sandstone and shale at the top.
The characteristics of wackes all point to rapid deposition in turbidity currents (density currents resulting from an increase in sediment concentration) in a tectonically active region. Wacke sequences may be several thousand metres thick, strongly suggesting rapid subsidence in geosynclinal regions. They occur in almost all fold mountain belts except those dominated by limestones, such as the Canadian Rockies.

THE bizarre behaviour of a fast-spinning red star in the constellation of Pisces has confounded astronomers. Not only is it rotating at an extraordinary speed, but this rapid rotation has failed to create the expected magnetic activity.
Normally, rapid rotation in a cool star – one that is yellow, orange or red – amplifies the star’s magnetic field. This in turn triggers large starspots, flares and other activity. Fast-spinning yellow, orange, and red stars are always very active, whereas the Sun, which completes a rotation once a month, exhibits weak magnetic activity.
Gibor Basri and Geoffrey Marcy of the University of California at Berkeley have discovered that this rule is violated by a faint, red star known as BRI 0021-0214. The star is 40 light years from the Earth and probably has no more than a tenth of the Sun’s mass. It may be a red dwarf, a star in which hydrogen is fused into helium at a much slower rate than that in the Sun. Seventy per cent of all stars in our Galaxy are red dwarfs.
Basri and Marcy used the 10-metre Keck telescope in Hawaii to obtain the spectrum of BRI 0021-0214. They found that the star’s spectral lines were broad, a sign of rapid rotation. This is because one limb of the star moves toward an observer and is blueshifted, whereas the other limb moves away and is redshifted. Consequently, every spectral line is smeared out.
The breadth of the spectral lines indicates that the surface of BRI 0021-0214 spins at a speed of at least 40 kilometres per second. This is extremely fast – most other red dwarfs rotate at less than 5 kilometres per second. Basri and Marcy estimate that BRI 0021-0214 completes a rotation in a mere 2.5 hours, a record for a red dwarf.
But the most puzzling characteristic of the star is its lack of magnetic activity. All other fast-spinning red dwarfs exhibit emission lines of hydrogen that reflect activity. But Basri and Marcy found no emission line in BRI 0021-0214’s spectrum.
“This object has thrown a wrench into everything,” says Todd Henry, an expert on red dwarfs at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Maryland. “It’s completely bizarre, because everybody thought that if you have a cool star rotating that fast – and 40 kilometres per second is very fast – then you must see activity, and there isn’t any.”
Nevertheless, there may be an explanation for the star’s maverick nature. BRI 0021-0214 is redder, dimmer and smaller than most red dwarfs. This suggests that while more massive red dwarfs, as well as yellow and orange stars, show a correlation between rotation and activity, the smallest red dwarfs do not.
Red dwarfs with masses less than 0.3 times that of the Sun differ from other stars because they transport the energy in their interiors entirely by convection, through bubbling and boiling. In contrast, more massive stars, such as the Sun, transport energy by radiation as well as convection. Perhaps stars that are completely convective can spin fast without creating a strong magnetic field.
Unfortunately, BRI 0021-0214 calls into question a useful relation between a star’s rotation and its age. In general, cool stars spin more slowly as they age, allowing astronomers to estimate the age from the rotation period. The “spindown” occurs because gas escapes from the star along magnetic field lines. Like spinning ice skaters stretching their arms, this makes stars spin more slowly. But if BRI 0021-0214 has only a weak magnetic field, this “magnetic braking” may not occur so that the star can continue to spin fast as it gets old.
Even the classification of BRI 0021-0214 is in question. Because the star is so faint and red, it may actually be a brown dwarf, a star with so little mass that hydrogen is not fused into helium. Such a star glows faintly as it converts gravitational energy into heat. Despite occasional claims to the contrary, no definitive brown dwarf has yet been discovered, and Basri and Marcy do not claim that their star is one either.
Basri and Marcy will report their discovery in the February 1995 issue of The Astronomical Journal. | <urn:uuid:7e8d8fa6-0394-4063-9382-1d56a0d2e1d1> | CC-MAIN-2016-40 | https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg14519592.200-the-dwarf-that-breaks-the-rules/ | 2016-09-28T01:09:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-40/segments/1474738661289.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20160924173741-00231-ip-10-143-35-109.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.934812 | 932 |
MONTENEGRO– Wild Beauty (UNESCO: Kotor)
It takes a few flight connections to get to some of the wonderful, newly formed countries of the former Yugoslavia along the Adriatic coast, but it most certainly is worth the trip! We started in gorgeous Montenegro where we overcame our jet lag at the sleek and luxurious Regent Porto Montenegro overlooking some of the largest private yachts in the world! Our first wonderful meals of the trip were enjoyed here – the freshest seafood, lovely produce, spectacular wines, and delicious olive oils!
Budva is considered to be one of the oldest settlements in the Balkans. This ancient town lies on a little island that was linked to land by a sandbar and in time became a peninsula. We kicked off our first day with a walk around the 15th century ramparts and medieval fortifications. Inside the walls, we found a combination of narrow streets and little squares, with superb monuments of the different Mediterranean cultures. Later, we visited Kotor, home-town of the famous sailors and traders of Boka Bay. Kotor’s architecture, a post-modern mix of the various epochs and its position at the bottom of the sharp cliffs of the Lovcen Mountain, makes it different from any other Mediterranean town. The Old City is a well preserved urbanization typical of the Middle Ages, built between the 12th and 14th century. Highlights included the Cathedral of St. Trifun and the Maritime Museum where visitors admire portraits of the famous captains, models of old galleys and sail boats and other artifacts from rich heritage of Kotor.
DUBROVNIK – Pearl of Mediterranean (UNESCO)
We continued on with our driver to the absolutely stunning walled-city of Dubrovnik and were lucky enough to check in to the charming Villa Dubrovnik!
Today we met up with our expert guide Yelena for a fabulous walking tour of Dubrovnik, one of the most beautiful stone-built cities in the world. An important maritime port and a one-time state, it has always been a cultural metropolis. As one of UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Dubrovnik owes its special charm to the historic monuments which testify to its rich history. Some highlights included the Franciscan monastery of the “Order of Friars Minors” that preserves one of the three oldest pharmacies in Europe, the Orlando Column, the Sponza Palace, the Church of St. Blasius, the patron-saint of the town, the Rector’s Palace, the magnificent structure of the dukes of Dubrovnik, and the Cathedral of the Virgin Mary with a treasury containing the originals by Tiziano and Rafaelo.
One thing that I hear consistently from clients of Resort to Laura Madrid is how fabulous our private guides are – many become life long friends to our clients! They certainly enliven the local experience for them whilst traveling! Here are a few of our special guides in Croatia:
Dubrovnik is worth three nights for sure. This would allow time to walk the length of the city walls, kayak over to one of the islands, and to take the funicular to the top!
Today we depart with Yelena for Ston to taste the freshest and most incredible oysters I have ever had anywhere, anytime in the world! With our fun guide Yelena, we were met where we board a local man’s boat and travel to his family’s private island for a very special surprise!
After departing Ston Bay, we stopped for a visit to the incredible walled fortress of Ston town and the salt mines. Ston’s famous 5 kilometer Medieval stone defensive walls are the largest in Europe and protected the precious salt pans that contributed to Dubrovnik Republic’s wealth. The history of the salt works in Ston goes back for more than 4,000 years. It is the oldest salt mine in Europe and one of the the oldest still working mines in the world!
HVAR – The Sunniest Place in Europe
After quite a long day of driving, a ferry and another car ride, we arrived to the charming but lively island of Hvar.
The best way to get to and from the islands is on a private boat. Here we are departing Hvar for our 90 minute ride to Split.
SPLIT – 1700 Years of a Living Monument (UNESCO)
The first inhabitant of Split was the Roman emperor Diocletian who started to build his palace in this friendly bay around 293 AD. After his abdication he withdrew to this luxurious palace to enjoy the rest of his days. The following turbulent centuries made the palace into a town first populated by the citizens of the nearby Salona, fleeing before Avars and Slavs. The town overgrew the walls of the palace and its authorities kept changing – from Croatian kings, Hungarian and Venetian administration, to French rulers and Austro- Hungarian monarchy.
We walked with our guide through this living monument and all its magnificent sights – the basement halls, the main square of the Palace, the Cathedral of St. Domnius, and the temples of the Palaces with its many monuments from antiquity, to the Middle Ages, Renaissance, and Baroque periods.
We drove to the outside of Split where we had stunning views of the inlets where many pirates hid before and after attacking large ships. We headed to the small village of Gata to enjoy a special lunch in the home of a lovely local lady named Anka.
Back to Split for the night, and where to stay but in Diocletian’s Palace at the 7 room Hotel Vestibul Palace! Each room is unique and below the court yard where breakfast is served.
Plitvice National Park – Beauty Unspoilt
Croatia has stunning national parks, lakes and waterfalls. It takes some driving to get there but truly beautiful. Here are are at Plitvice National Park. The oldest and largest National Park in Croatia, Plitvice is located in Central Croatia close to the border with Bosnia-Herzegovina.
The Istrian Peninsula – Mystical Land of Gastronomy
This region has always attracted those who consider gastronomy as one of the most important reasons for traveling – namely me! The alluring gastronomic character of Istria consists not only of the exquisite Mediterranean seafood of the coast but also of the products of the inland’s gardens, orchards, and vineyards.
As you drive through the rugged and hilly terrain you will come to the village of Livade, one of the most important centers of truffle farming in Europe. Until recently the Istrian white truffle was unknown on the world’s stage of luxury gastronomy. Only those who are the true connoisseurs of this magical fungus come to visit the small corner of the world from which this delicacy originates.
We continued towards the charming village of Momjan for a private wine tasting at Kabola Winery. Throughout the past, Momjan area was known as one of the most productive wine regions in Istria. It even provided the Austro-Hungarian aristocracy with wine. We tasted many of these famous wines made with the grapes muscat, malmsey, and teran.
We enjoyed a private truffle hunting demonstration with the truffle hunter and his dogs – this may have been Isabella’s favorite day!
One of the most important restaurants for truffles is Restaurant Zigante. It’s a must for those wanting every course made with the local delicacy!
After the truffle hunting demonstration we went to the medieval ruins of the town of Motovun to taste some local products made with truffles.
Meanwhile back in Rovijn, this is the charming and special authentic city where we stayed while touring the Istrian Peninsula.
We stayed in a very modern, largish luxury hotel – not what I would normally select, but this actually is the perfect spot to unwind after several days of touring, staying in quaint boutique hotels, and moving from place to place. Hotel Lone and Monte Mullini are terrific for the large modern rooms and bathrooms (the kind you just won’t find while staying in a palace dating to 200 AD)! The beach, spa, gym and modern conveniences were all much appreciated, and better yet, the old town Rovijn is just a short walk along the beach! Enjoy the bars, restaurants, and village life of one of our favorite towns of the trip!

Roomy Belt For Taller Users
One of the main advantages of the L8 over the Landice L7 is the larger belt size.
It is 22″ wide x 63″ long, giving you much more room to spread out. Compare this to the 20″ x 58″ belt of the L7 and you can really see the difference.
Although the L7 is just fine for most users, taller users will definitely appreciate the roominess of the L8.
Just like on the L7 model, you get the choice of four different consoles to customize your machine.
There’s the Pro Trainer Control Panel, with three LED windows, 5 built in workouts, 2 user programs and contact/wireless heart rate.
Moving up you have the ProSports Control Panel with express incline and speed keys and 5 user programs.
You then have the Cardio Control Panel, which is similar to the ProSports console but adds special heart rate programs to the mix.
Lastly, you have the top-of-the-line Executive Control Panel, with a 9″ screen, built in maps, Bluetooth connectivity for fitness apps and increased workout programs.
As you move up, the costs increase, but it’s nice that you can choose the features you want.
Advanced Shock Absorption System
The Landice L8 treadmill features the company’s renowned VFX Absorption System, one of the most advanced impact reduction technologies you’ll find, even on commercial-grade models.
This reduces pain and injuries, allowing for a more enjoyable workout experience with less health risks.
Other Great Features
You also get a strong, yet quiet 4.0 CHP motor, power incline up to 15%, a 500 lb. max user weight capacity, water bottle holders, heart rate monitoring, accessory tray and tablet holder.
The Landice L8 is a workhorse that will provide years of use with very little maintenance required.
It’s solidly constructed with the most advanced cushioning, incline capability, console choices, strong motor, large runner’s deck and safety features.
It also has a lifetime parts warranty, which you will not find elsewhere.
There are no real drawbacks to the L8 other than the fact that it is expensive. For example, the Landice L8 with the Executive Panel will cost around $6000 or so, so it’s certainly a pricey choice.
Also, only the Executive model comes with a touch screen, the others do not.
If you’re looking for a really well made treadmill that will last a lifetime and keep you injury free, the Landice L8 is a great choice, especially if you are on the taller side.
If not, you can save a little money and go for the less expensive L7 model.
TO save even more money, check out the new Matrix residential lineup. These treadmills are on a par with Landice, but incorporate newer technology and better console choices. | <urn:uuid:7d0b5b50-63cf-4a52-9e36-ed2240bcfb86> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | https://www.runreviews.com/landice-treadmills/landice-l8 | 2017-10-22T23:02:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187825473.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20171022222745-20171023002745-00121.warc.gz | en | 0.89144 | 776 |
Ricardo is an actor, dancer, entrepreneur, blogger … and college graduate. Of particular pride to Ricardo, he sang the National Anthem at his commencement ceremony. He’s also employed full time – two days before he graduated with a B.A. in Theatre from Barry University in Florida, he was offered an administrative assistant job on campus.
Recently he acted in a commercial for Kentucky Fried Chicken and he was also a background dancer in a Zumba video. But, he says, “the idea isn’t to be famous. It’s to always do something creative, though bringing in income doesn’t hurt, either. And I’d love, at some point, to write a humongous check to FC2S because this organization changed my life.”
It’s a far cry from foster care in South Carolina to being the founder of a four-year-old online magazine with a college degree, financial security, and a shining bright future.

Research Expansion: Making “What Ifs” a Reality
For more than a decade, we at Seattle Children’s Research Institute have been asking ourselves “What if?” every day. And thanks to remarkable discoveries from dedicated researchers, hundreds of “What ifs” have become realities.
In February 2017, we began construction on our new Building Cure research facility in downtown Seattle, the latest step in Seattle Children’s quest to revolutionize pediatric medicine and save the lives of more children. When the building opens in 2019, it will expand the Seattle Children’s Research Institute campus to over 1 million square feet of space and be home to a state-of-the-art cell-manufacturing facility. It will boost our ability to make scientific discoveries, develop new therapies and conduct clinical trials that bring therapies to children in areas like cancer, type 1 diabetes and sickle cell disease.

Analysts have welcomed
’ realisation that niche furniture retailer Dare Gallery may be better off in other hands. Dare has been a constant underperformer since Fantastic acquired the chain out of administration three years ago. However analysts who expected Fantastic to announce a sale have been left slightly underwhelmed by the results of an eight-month strategic review. Fantastic has determined that Dare has a future, but not necessarily inside the Fantastic group. Fantastic is also scaling back the central shared services structure that was expanded after the acquisition of Dare and Le Cornu. No restructuring costs were announced and Fantastic reaffirmed market forecasts for December half earnings. Moelis, which has a “buy" on the stock, says its business model is strongly leveraged to any sustained improvement in discretionary spending, given significant investment in people, stores and IT. The shares have recovered from their 2011 low of $1.80 and are now trading at a slight premium to Harvey Norman but at a discount to other small-cap specialty retailers such as Super Retail and The Reject Shop. | <urn:uuid:e70e2ddb-082b-43aa-990d-87a5dcc5bab1> | CC-MAIN-2017-39 | http://www.afr.com/business/retail/clothing-and-accessories/fantastic-holdings-fan-20111115-j3rfi | 2017-09-19T17:33:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-39/segments/1505818685912.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20170919164651-20170919184651-00592.warc.gz | en | 0.975442 | 212 |

I have lost count of the number of times I have been speaking to a client on the phone when, while we are reviewing their online rankings, what they can see is very different from the results shown on my computer.
This is easily explained and fixed by removing Google Web History, but how many people are actually aware that this feature is enabled on their Google accounts and their computers by default?
What is Google Web History
If you often think that your search results are overly tailored then they probably are. Google collects information on your browsing habits every time you do a search enabling them to serve up more personalised results to suit you.
The simple fact is Google shows you what they think you want to see. You may find that your regular visits to your own website or competitors websites are skewing your search results.
From an online marketing perspective this functionality is very misleading. When researching how you are positioned in Google you need to see a standard set of results, similar to what your potential customers are viewing, not tailored to your search habits.
If you are using the online arena to generate leads and traffic to your website it is essential to make sure you disable Google Web HIstory. Otherwise how do you benchmark how you are actually performing in Google with this personalisation distorting your view?
I can see many of you throwing up your hands in horror at this 'Big Brother' aspect of Google. This can be viewed as good or bad depending on what angle you look at it, but it is a function that is here to stay.
How Do I Disable Google Web History?
Google keep a track of your search history irrespective of whether you are signed into a Google account or not. These are slightly different and can trip you up if you are not aware.
Please Note: The description below is an accurate representation of how to turn off Google web history at the time of writing. However you may notice some variables but the general process holds true. Variables can be present depending on the age of your Google account and updates to the Google interface.
Signed in Web History
How to remove your Google Web History when you are signed into a Google account:
This information is stored on the Google servers and will be the same on any computer when you are logged into your Google account.
Sign into your Google account and click on 'Account'.
Click on ‘Web History to edit:
Click on 'Settings' Button:
This page allows you to turn off your web history completely, if you wish. This is optional, but means that Google will no longer track your searches when you are logged into your account.
You will also need to click on "delete all" to clear your web history as well.
The next screenshot looks a bit scary, it feels like you are removing something very important. It is not, you can easily turn this function back on so highlight the tick box and click on 'Remove Web History':Congratulations, web history has now been removed from this account!
Signed Out Web History
How to remove your Google Web History when you are signed out of a Google account:
This web history is also personalised but is linked to your computer and the browser* you are using. Using cookies* which track your behaviour Google then keep 180 days worth of information about your online activity which allows them to serve up personalised results.
First, make sure you are signed out of your Google account, then click on ‘Web History’ in the top right hand corner of a search result:
Click on ‘Disable customisations based on search activity':
Beware - Google may re-enable your web history!
If you clear your browser cookies you will need to disable web history again as Google turns it back on. This only occurs when you are signed out of your Google account. It can be very frustrating so I find the easiest way to control the Web History personalisation is to only do searches when I am signed into a Google account which has Web History permanently deleted.
Of course many of you may enjoy these personalised results, after all they are designed to be delivering you the results you want. However when researching how you website is fairing on the Google rankings, make sure they are properly disabled. It would be a shame to be lulled into a false sense of security that you are ranking on Page 1 when in fact you are not.

Endometriosis affects about 11% of women in the United States between the ages of 15 and 44, often leading to considerable pain and discomfort. If you figure among this number, there’s much that Dr. Carlos Barrionuevo at Coral Springs OBGYN, LLC can do to help. With the latest treatment protocols, Dr. Barrionuevo helps women in Coral Springs, Florida manage the pain and increase their chances of having children. To get help with your endometriosis, call the office or schedule an appointment using the online booking tool.
Endometriosis is when the lining of your uterus grows on the outside, often draping itself over nearby organs, such as the:
The problem lies in the fact that this tissue acts as it usually would inside your uterus. That means it thickens in anticipation of a fertilized egg each month and then attempts to shed when one doesn’t arrive.
When your lining is outside your uterus, however, it has nowhere to go. As the lining goes through this cycle over and over, scar tissue and adhesions can form, obstructing your organs and causing you pain.
The most common symptoms of endometriosis include:
The severity of these symptoms varies from one woman to the next. Some women aren’t even aware they have endometriosis, while others suffer debilitating pain.
Medical researchers are unclear as to what causes endometriosis. They have, however, identified specific risk factors, including:
When it comes to treating your endometriosis, Dr. Barrionuevo strives to find a treatment that complements your goals.
For example, one possible treatment is hormone therapy, which can alleviate the pain and discomfort of endometriosis, but it’s not a great option if you’re trying to get pregnant.
In these cases, Dr. Barrionuevo may use laparoscopic surgery to remove the adhesions and extra tissue to facilitate your chances of getting pregnant. However, your endometriosis can return afterward. Should this occur, he may recommend exploring other avenues, such as in vitro fertilization.
Ultimately, how Dr. Barrionuevo treats your endometriosis depends upon the severity of your symptoms and your goals. Rest assured, he works with you to come up with a treatment plan that addresses both.

Okay, so I’ve been coblogging with ScienceWoman for a little over a week so far. Which means I’ve been blogging as me, with no pseudonym to hide behind for the same time. What do I think about it so far?
It’s terrifying. I haven’t told many colleagues about this blog yet, and haven’t had the nerve to add it to my email signature and such yet.
Before I decided to blog as me, I went and talked to my department head to see what he thought. He was supportive of me blogging as an outreach activity, but recommended I talk with the communication/news service people to see if they had any advice or concerns about me blogging as a faculty member of my university. I got an email back from them saying it was fine as long as I stayed within my area of “expertise.”
Hmmm. I wasn’t sure what to think about that, in part because my supposed “expertise” is really on gender in academic engineering. My research can focus on the characteristics and experiences of my job in ways that the vast majority of people’s jobs can’t. I use my experience and conversations I have as myself to inform how I’m thinking about my research and my study participants. And then I try to write it up as critical* research.
So is my expertise on engineering education specifically, and if so, what would the consequences of blogging be on my publication record? Would people think less of my scholarly work because they might have read me write more causally on the blog? How about my expertise in gender theory and engineering? How does my personal experience of being a women in engineering impact that? How about my personal expertise in being a first-year faculty member? Does my embodied knowledge “count” as expertise the same as my intellectual PhD-oriented knowledge? The thing is, it’s really all mixed up, not compartmentable in the way that others’ research may be. I am an expert in blogging as me, and there is both expertise and value (hopefully) involved in blogging about my experiences.
The other query that I also haven’t figured out yet – I wanted to blog as me so I could talk about my research more. But if I talk about my research on the blog, will that mess it up somehow? Result in people stealing it or as copyright infringement if I write it up for a journal? I’m not sure.
However, having these discussions with the university communications director did not seem a wise decision, so I wondered by myself late at night, instead, when I should have been sleeping. Is blogging as me the right decision? Should I even have asked the communication director? Was I opening myself up to slander, lawsuits, stalkers and trolls, risking my department and my university as well as myself? Was I sabotaging my future publication record?
No wonder I couldn’t sleep.
What I have been finding the most surprising is how I feel like my future promotion and tenure committee is always looking over my shoulder at what I am writing. (Like now.) Who will they be? Will they be hip enough to understand the potential that blogs have for accessing new populations, creating community, and sharing information in new modes? Will they blame a mediocre publishing record on my wasting time blogging? (Okay, let’s not give them the chance at thinking I have a mediocre publishing record, but anyway…)
In the end, I decided I couldn’t just sit in fear. Blogging under a pseudonym wasn’t going to save me from a particularly investigative P&T committee anyway – googling two key words brings up my old blog. But, on the more positive side, I decided when I started my current job that my goal was to be the best professor I could be, the one I wanted to see when I was a graduate student, and that I would. not. be. threatened into submission by colleagues wielding the tenure stick. I am committed to student learning, to faculty learning, to developing useful and inclusive learning environments, to the sifting and winnowing of ideas, to making engineering education better both in how I engage in it and what I study. None of that is something I as a faculty member should be scared of saying, and if doing so results in me only getting to do my job for 3 years or 6 years, then there is something undeniably and seriously wrong with our academic system and what we want professors to be/do. Plus having job security for 3 years or 6 years is something that most people don’t get anyway.
All this being said, I also COMPLETELY understand how many people can’t make this decision, can’t blog as themselves. They don’t feel safe, don’t feel they can deal with potential consequences, see too many risks and not enough benefits. I find it at once amazing and not at all suprising the number of women scientists and engineers who blog under pseudonyms.
The thing is, I do feel that maybe blogging as me will be supported in my case. I think I can do it, think I can justify it, think I can be a good professor at the same time, think it might be easier then for people who come after me. And so I decided to blog as me. I still see the P&T people over my shoulder. But I think blogging as me will make a better difference. Didn’t someone say, “be the change you want to see in the world”? Okay then. I will.
As my car license plate used to say, “allons.” Let’s go. And hopefully my new me-blogging voice will take on a less pontifical tone in future posts. 🙂

Okay, finally, the day is here – Most Dangerous is officially published. We’ll have a launch party tonight at my local bookstore in Saratoga Springs, and then I’ll head out on the road for a tour, speaking at bookstores and schools. For more info on stops, check out my events page.
Also, I’ve been lucky to have my last few books made into audio books, and I just got to hear some of the new recording of Most Dangerous. It sounds really cool, if I say so. I love how good actors can bring a whole new element to the story. | <urn:uuid:812b82e1-789a-4afd-b53d-8048505c2719> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | http://stevesheinkin.com/publication-day/ | 2021-09-24T04:01:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780057496.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20210924020020-20210924050020-00691.warc.gz | en | 0.957647 | 128 |
Title IX Task Force
Mission of Committee
The mission of the USF Title IX Task Force is to form a partnership between USF students, staff, and faculty to help create a campus environment that promotes respect, equality, civility, healthy relationships, and healthy sexuality. The Task Force is dedicated to the promotion of the rights of students, staff, and faculty to live, work, and study in a safe and healthy environment, free from sexual discrimination, including sexual and gender-based assault and harassment.
Committee Purpose and Responsibilities
- Foster Communication and Collaboration in Prevention Efforts: The Task Force is a way to connect USF students, faculty, administrators, and community stakeholders interested in defining and promoting sexual violence prevention efforts. The goal is to align priorities and mobilize efforts of various groups toward improving a common outcome, which is to raise awareness of the impact of interpersonal violence on campus, reduce the occurrence of such acts, and to promote gender equality, healthy relationships, and healthy sexuality.
- Engage the Campus Community: The Task Force will encourage student organizations, athletics, campus administrators, university departments, student government and others to facilitate conversations about sex that focus on individual choices along the continuum of sexual activity. These conversations will identify and popularize healthy sexuality that respects the roles of consent, gender, sexual orientation, and gender identity, and help move these conversations from the shadows into the public arena. Such strategies will be multifaceted and include, but not be limited to, activities such as classroom discussions, health promotion programs, media campaigns, peer education, and public opportunities for discussion.
- Centralize Efforts for Sustainable Forward Momentum: The Task Force will ensure that USF’s commitment to the promotion of a safe and healthy environment will maintain long-term stability and build on the campus’ efforts from year to year through convening resources and partners to build on the momentum of its history and cultivated partnerships.

ATLANTA (AP) -- Gov. Nathan Deal has announced the end of tolls on Georgia Highway 400 by the end of next year.
He tied the announcement to the metro Atlanta area's upcoming transportation tax referendum on the July 31 primary ballot, calling the move a "good faith effort" to restore public trust in government spending. Opponents of the tax have raised concerns about how such funds would be handled.
Deal also pointed to one of the larger items on the region's infrastructure wish list, which would put $400 million into a project at Ga. 400 and I-285 if the ballot measure passes.
Deal says the tolls were originally set to end in 2017, but the state will pay off its bond debt for Ga. 400 in December 2013.

I can’t believe a year has passed since Keri and Tony’s wedding, time goes by so fast. It was wonderful getting to know Keri and Tony during their engagement and their wedding. I can’t go on Space Mountain without thinking about those two, and their love for Space Mountain makes me smile just to think of it. . 🙂 Tony actually proposed to Keri on Space Mountain, and I think every important announcement they’ve ever made has involved that attraction. Because of their love for Space-it only made sense for them to add on portraits at Space Mountain after their Castle session. It was a fun treat to be able to venture someplace new for a morning castle session, and the photos were perfect!
Keri and Tony had their wedding at the Disneyland Hotel, with a ceremony in the Rose Court Garden and reception at the Sleeping Beauty Pavilion.
I loved the beautiful purples in their wedding decor.
The Wedding Ceremony was beautiful, of course!
And their Sleeping Beauty Pavilion Reception was a lot of fun.
Such a fun moment when Keri’s dad wore that goofy hat for her. 🙂
Isn’t their cake sweet?
And I loved how her friends recreated a Space Mountain Wedding photo moment for them.
Towards the end of the reception, we snuck outside to take a few beautiful photos with the fireworks.
The next morning, we woke up bright and early for their morning castle session. <3
These ducks, they make me smile. 🙂
It was a beautiful couple of days, and I’m so glad to have been there for them. Thank you for having me, Keri and Tony! | <urn:uuid:7e05a557-f884-45a6-b311-99f2350c8abb> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://whiterabbitphotoboutique.com/space-mountain-wedding-photos/ | 2021-11-28T17:03:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964358570.48/warc/CC-MAIN-20211128164634-20211128194634-00597.warc.gz | en | 0.970026 | 352 |

Welcome to A Lovely Harvest, a space dedicated to sharing recipes, celebrating soulful sustenance, and honoring the richness of simpler joys - the taste of warmed pie and herbaceous greens tossed with vinegar, the everyday ritual and the joy of creative expression through flavors and prose.
I believe in chocolate and in romaine, in indulgence and in simplicity. I believe in hearty laughter and in being present. I believe in the importance of valuing ordinary moments and appreciating the sort of sacred beauty found in only in the commonplace. I believe in the written word, in creative expression, and in nourishing ourselves with good food. I believe there is a daily harvest of quiet, unassuming moments waiting to be gathered and recognized as lovely. The chopping of onions, the sifting of flour, the coffee we help ourselves to each morning and the growing shadows of dusk are the simpler moments of our day-to-day, moments that I believe are worth savoring like fluffy morsels of sweet cake... | <urn:uuid:961d62f1-24f6-40ff-bc5f-874821cdc7e1> | CC-MAIN-2019-18 | https://www.alovelyharvest.com/ | 2019-04-22T18:50:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-18/segments/1555578577686.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20190422175312-20190422201312-00172.warc.gz | en | 0.90995 | 232 |

Wingate and Finchley’s FA Cup run began with a sprint as they secured a comfortable 4-0 away win 70 miles north of London at United Counties League Division One’s Long Buckby AFC, writes Andy Gerlis.
The Emirates FA Cup – First Round Qualifying:
Long Buckby AFC 0 Wingate & Finchley 4
Saturday, 12 September, 2015
At 71 places this was the largest gap between two sides playing in the 1st Qualifying round of the FA Cup but, having beaten higher league opposition in all three of their cup games this season, Buckby are a tough team who are not to be underestimated.
Wingate started the game well, Rob Laney finding enough space to catch Martell Powell’s corner on the volley at the back post after just two minutes but he was only able to find goalkeeper Olly Manuel’s gloves. Wingate did well to keep Buckby cornered in the final third of the pitch and six minutes in, after some ping-pong headers between defence and midfield, Wingate’s Karl Oliyide found himself 20 yards out with his back to goal and enough time to control the ball on his chest before hooking a volley on the turn that sailed over the keeper and planted itself in the top right hand corner – a goal that wouldn’t look out of place on the world stage, let alone the Station Road turf.
Though the pitch slowed the ball somewhat, Wingate’s playing speed was not hampered. Quick passing and quick feet was the mantra, Tommy Tejan-Sie skinning Ashley Knights on the wing before lifting a ball in to the area which striker Billy Healey met to nod in at the back post and double Wingate’s tally after just 10 minutes.
Tejan-Sie continued to direct the play from midfield with Buckby unable to handle the speed at which he, Powell and Oliyide moved the ball between each other. Seven minutes after Healey’s goal, a ball from Tejan-Sie to Oliyide allowed the midfielder to power in to the box before pulling back a pass to Laney, the striker’s left-footed shot from the edge of the area skimming just wide.
It was Oliyide and Powell linking up again after half an hour, playing six short passes between each other and around the defence before the latter rolled the ball to Healey with his back to goal on the edge of the box. Without taking a touch the striker spun and hit the ball first time but could only watch as it floated inches over the bar. With 45 minutes gone Wingate goalkeeper Jack Metcalfe, looking for a second consecutive clean sheet, had remained completely untested with his voice being used more than his gloves throughout the first half.
As the second half progressed it was clear to see that Buckby were trying to ensure Wingate couldn’t settle on the ball, their players closing down quickly resulting in a few rash challenges. The Blues’ quick play didn’t ease up however, and Oliyide and Healey exchanged one-touch passes before the striker tapped a ball over the top to Laney, his cross agonisingly evading the blue shirts in the box. Manny Salumi broke away with the ball and launched a counter-attack, feeding the ball into Stefan Jones who broke in to the box before shooting over – a stark reminder that with half an hour still to play Buckby were by no means out of the game.
Wingate took this as a wake-up call, Metcalfe’s resulting goalkick finding Leon Solomon who drove deep into Long Buckby’s half before rolling the ball through their defence for Tejan-Sie to run on to, drilling his shot under the keeper and in to the bottom right corner of the net for the third goal of the game. Ricky Barby tried to change Buckby’s fortunes, screaming for the ball on the wing before cutting inside and finding the club’s top scorer Ed Kostiuck free inside the box, Metcalfe happy to see the resulting shot flash across the face of his goal.
Wingate’s captain and centre back Marc Weatherstone came close to netting his second goal in as many games after 72 minutes but he couldn’t direct Tejan-Sie’s driven corner goalwards. More slick interplay between Oliyide and Powell lead to the winger using his heel to flick the ball over the defence but Healey’s shot was met by a strong Manuel hand. The Buckby defence failed to clear the ball however, and Healey’s striker’s instinct kicked in to pounce on a loose pass and loop a first-time shot over the keeper and in to the net from the edge of the area with 12 minutes left on the clock.
An 83rd minute Kyle Watson handball on the edge of the area gave Buckby a late glimmer of hope, but Callum Yeates could only put his free-kick over the bar. Cruising to victory, current Ryman Premier League Manager of the Month Simon Lane brought on youngsters Josh Grantham and Hakim Nyoriki for their first team debuts. Though there was little time for either to make a real impact on the game, the promotion of youth to the first team is great sight to see and bodes well for a promising future for the club.
Overall it was a comfortable win for Wingate and Finchley – another clean sheet and a great result to continue their sensational start to the season. It may be a bit early to start booking tickets to Wembley, but if this performance is anything to go by then Wingate can look forward to a strong run in the FA Cup.

Its membership of more than 850 scientists is drawn from academia, government bodies and industry. Members’ interests are numerous and include climate and atmospheric modeling, nanotechnology, development of inhaled therapies and air pollution.
Our committee of volunteers promotes all scientific branches of aerosol research through this website, our monthly members newsletter and regular aerosol science related events.
One of the Society’s primary aims is the encouragement and support of early career scientists and the society annually invests thousands of pounds in studentships, travel and research awards.
The Society also organizes numerous events for both members and non-members. The annual Fundamentals of Aerosol Science Course provides invaluable interdisciplinary training for scientists new to aerosol science. The Society’s Annual Aerosol Science Conference provides a forum for members and delegates to share their knowledge through keynote presentations, poster exhibitions and industry exhibitor demonstrations. The conference also includes the AGM of the Aerosol Society.
The Society also holds more-specialised focus meetings and conferences throughout the year and actively encourages collaboration with other aerosol science related organisations. The committee is divided into 4 sub committees to utilise their expertise when planning and hosting these specialised events:
An additional sub-committee of of experienced respiratory scientists specifically promote the drug delivery to the lungs and inhaled aerosols branch of research through our annual Drug Delivery to the Lungs Conference. Its mission is to provide a vehicle for the advancement of respiratory science and to share recent developments in inhalation therapy.
Today DDL is recognized as one of the major European conferences in respiratory drug delivery and a key international meeting for the rest of the world. The conference attracts a range of attendees from scientists, academics, clinicians, regulators and industrial experts specializing in all aspects of developing medicines for inhalation.
With the continued support of our members, event attendees and sponsors, the Aerosol Society is able to support and encourage the UK and Irish aerosol scientists of the future. | <urn:uuid:c441c5d9-801b-4ab3-ab3b-556504d008d1> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | https://aerosol-soc.com/about/ | 2021-09-24T19:01:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780057564.48/warc/CC-MAIN-20210924171348-20210924201348-00677.warc.gz | en | 0.928448 | 436 |

IRAN: 36 SUNNI KURDS EXECUTED
August 2, 2016: At least 36 Kurdish Sunni prisoners were hanged at dawn in Rajai Shahr Prison, Karaj, the Human Rights Activists News Agency in Iran (HRANA) reported.
HRANA said that âthe cases of at least seven of these prisoners are still in the primary stage, and their sentences cannot be executed before the end of trial procedures.â
On August 3, confessions from some of the prisoners were aired on Iranâs state-run television.
Families of some of the prisoners confirmed on August 3, that they had received the corpses of their loved ones, but the exact number of the executed is not yet confirmed.
Amnesty International says the continuation of capital punishment âdemonstrates the Iranian authoritiesâ utter disregard for the right to life.â
Amnesty added that Iran is determined to continue their âstaggering execution spree that saw nearly 1000 people put to death last year.â
Below is a list of the 29 Sunni prisoners whose verdicts had been sent to the executive branch:
Kave Veisi, Behrouz Shahnazari, Taleb Maleki, Shahram Ahmadi, Kave Sharifi, Arash Sharifi, Varya Ghaderifard, Keyvan Momenifard, Barzan Nasrollahzade, Alem Barmashti, Pourya Mohammadi, Ahmad Nasiri, Edris Nemati, Farzad Honarju, Seyed Shahu Ebrahimi, Mohammad Yavar Rahimi, Bahman Rahimi, Mokhtar Rahimi, Mohammad Gharibi, Farshid Naseri, Mohammad Keyvan Karimi, Amjad Salehi, Omid Peyvand, Ali Mojahedi, Hekmat Sharifi, Omar Abdollahi, Omid Mahmudi, Abdolrahman Sangani and Seyed Jamal Seyed Musavi.

Els Shows His Design Skills at Whiskey Creek
With Whiskey Creek Golf Club, PGA Tour star Ernie Els tackled his first golf course design with developer and co-designer J. Michael Poellot and Brian Costello of JMP Golf Design Group.
The 18-hole public facility occupies 280 acres and extends 7,000 yards from the tips. There are only 13 homes on the entire site. Most of the course is surrounded with hardwoods, while a winding creek, wetlands, meadows and rock outcroppings also inhabit the site. In the spirit of Els’ preference for classic courses, the holes challenge a golfer’s shot-making ability. Wide fairways and multiple sets of tees take the sting out of the course for higher handicappers, so anyone should feel comfortable playing this track.
The 9,500-square-foot clubhouse is a Sam Dunn design, complete with shaker shingles on the roof and sides, wrap-around porches and a stone fireplace. The structure’s amenities include comfortable leather furnishings and a private meeting room on the second floor with a spectacular view of the ninth hole.
Whiskey Creek opened in June 2000, and is operated by Kemper Sports Management of Northbrook, Ill. Whiskey Creek is in Ijamsville, between Urbania and Monrovia on Maryland State Highway 80, 35 miles from Washington D.C. To book a tee time at Whiskey Creek, call 888-883-1174 or 301-694-2900. | <urn:uuid:82d53a0e-b16a-4e15-87b5-5eb011915a0a> | CC-MAIN-2015-48 | http://news.cybergolf.com/golf_news/els_shows_his_design_skills_at_whiskey_creek | 2015-12-01T02:08:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-48/segments/1448398464396.48/warc/CC-MAIN-20151124205424-00277-ip-10-71-132-137.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.910721 | 324 |
Last week, Facebook unrolled a new layout for their All Campaigns Page– which, surprisingly, lacks crucial at-a-glance information for advertisers. Far be it from us to assume what’s going on in Zuckerberg & Co.’s head, but one thing’s for certain: Facebook API tools are now more crucial than ever, especially for managers of large campaigns.
Read on for a comparison of the old and new Facebook Ads layout, and our team’s two cents on why it totally handicaps marketers.
“We’re making improvements…” began Facebook’s pop-up notification, prompting me to “Upgrade now.” IMHO, these redesigns are far from improvements and upgrades. Like a sucker, I clicked on the green button. And there was no turning back. #Facepalm.
In the former layout, columns from left to right began with Campaigns, Status, and [Daily] Budget. Active Campaigns pushed to the top of the list, and appeared in alphabetized order (one of the few features that carried through to the new layout).
After the basic info & stats followed the meat:
- Spend (for the campaign’s lifetime)
These metrics allow advertisers to make quick account assessments… Is a campaign gaining impressions or clicks? How bad (or good) is a campaign’s CTR? The critical decision-making metrics immediately alerted advertisers where ad-triage was necessary.
A handy line graph also adorned the bottom of Facebook’s All Campaigns page. Though it could become superfluous to account managers with a boatload of campaigns, it was doubtless useful to many marketers and clients.
Fine, Facebook. I have craved other elements and features for the All Campaigns page, but who am I to ask Facebook for anything? Even if I did ask, what good would it do?
New “Upgraded” Layout
A result of the new “improvements” is a FB Ads layout lacking those coveted decision-making metrics. Clicks, Impressions, and CTR have vanished from the UI, as well as that nifty graph at the bottom. Instead, advertisers now only see their campaigns’:
- Start Date
- End Date
- Remain Budget
Um… thanks? Let’s unpack the function behind the new columns:
- An advertiser with his/her ish together knows when a campaign began and when it should end, if they even want to identify an end date.
- The budget is still there with two more columns that describe what’s remaining and what’s been spent of the budget. I guess that’s helpful, but is the alleviation of us having to perform simple match worth the replacement of CTR, impressions, etc?
- In short, the new layout’s at-a-glance metrics are useful, but not at the expense of what’s been taken. Advertisers can’t even compare campaigns’ performance on this page!
Instead of offering real metrics of what’s going on in a campaign, Facebook assumes all advertisers want to know (at least, again, at-a-glance) is how much money has been shipped to Facebook, and how much more is they have left to shell out. Kill me now. Neat.
It stands to note that our coveted decision-making data is still available, just one click away from the main dashboard:
Best practices for streamlined navigation suggest we should reduce number the hurdles (aka: clicks) for a user to get where/what they want online… shouldn’t the same hold true for Facebook and the advertising UI? : )
Yet… what of the handy line graph? Gone. Make it yourself in Excel.

A number of older East Coast and Midwest cities have experienced severely declining populations as traditional industries close down or move elsewhere around the globe. In so many ways, the loss of residents sits heavily on those who stay on, from a decline in services and educational opportunities for children to diminished tax rolls and boarded-up stores.It doesn't matter if you have a good job with high pay in a city that has been in decline -- it will still be a burden to your pocketbook because the value of your home has probably peaked and in some cities like Detroit, has been dramatically slashed. Even if you lived in a "good" area of a city like Detroit, home values can't be maintained as more and more of your neighbors go elsewhere looking for jobs. The question is, can't anything be done to help? My suggestion is a radical one. In cities where the loss of jobs has been so dramatic that residents have been moving away for decades, the city government ne...

Touch is one of the five main senses that animals have. It can be called the sense of body or the sense of touch. The system also has internal sensory receptors, and includes sensing temperature and pain. There is a special area in the brain used to processing input of touch. It is in the parietal lobe of the cerebral cortex.
An animal knows if something is against a part of its body. This is called the sense of touch. The process of touching something may be called feeling.
Tiny touch sense organs under the skin help animals feel hardness, softness, and sharpness, for example. Animals also have sense organs which feel temperature and pain. Some parts of the body, such as fingertips have many more sense organs than others.
Touch as communication[change | change source]
Humans, and mammals in general, often touch each other. Touch is a kind of non-verbal communication. Behaviours based on touch are very important for keeping family and group members together ('bonding'). It is part of the 'glue' of their social life. Monkeys grooming each other's fur is a good example.

When investing your money, there will be times when you will have positions with a loss – it’s inevitable. The good news? There is a powerful tax strategy that you can use called loss harvesting. This strategy applies to investments in taxable accounts (but not IRA or 401k retirement accounts).
A disadvantage with taxable accounts, is that if you sell an investment with a gain, you will have to pay taxes on that gain for that year. This is called a realized gain. As mentioned earlier, an advantage of a taxable accounts is that if you have any losses in the same year, you can use them to offset the realized gains and help lower your tax bill for that year.
You have to sell the stock at a loss, and when you do this, it is called a realized loss. You can then use the realized losses from positions that are down to offset the realized gains from positions that are up.
There is a rule you must navigate around called the “Wash Sale Rule”. This rule states that if you sell an investment to generate a realized loss for taxes, you must wait 31 days before buying back into that same investment or something “substantially identical”, or else the loss is disallowed. After 31 days are up, you can buy it back again. You are allowed to buy a similar investment during the 31 days, but not the same investment or anything “substantially identical” to it within the 31 days.
Another helpful thing about this tax strategy is that if you have more losses than gains for a particular year, you can carry forward the excess losses and use them against future gains, and up to $3,000 in ordinary income. In years when you may not have gains, you’re still allowed to deduct $3,000 of these losses against ordinary income each year going into the future until those losses are used up.
Here’s an example from a client we did this for. To make it easy - say you only have 2 positions in your account for sake of simplicity. One investment is up $7,000 and the other investment is down $10,000. We had them sell the investment that was down and put that money into something else. We locked in a $10,000 capital loss for taxes. When we sold the investment that was up $7,000, we used the $7,000 of the $10,000 loss that you have to offset the $7,000 gain and you would still have $3,000 left over, in my example, to apply to ordinary income. The net result is not only did you not pay any taxes on the investment that had gains on it, but you also were able to deduct $3,000 of the losses against your ordinary income, saving you another $750 (assuming 25% tax bracked).
