So now we are in London…it’s Tuesday around lunchtime but my body thinks its 6am and I pulled an all-nighter (just an FYI – I haven’t purposely pulled an “all-nighter” since 1997). We stayed in the St. David’s hotel in Paddington. Just a 3 minute walk from the underground station. We had a twin room with en-suite bathroom. They offer several variations of rooms at different levels but I am kinda picky about not using the hall bath, so this one worked for us. Its not large, but everything worked and since all we were doing was storing our luggage, sleeping and showering it suited us just fine.
This is the room. All of it. I am standing at the door. The only part you can’t see is the wall with the faux fireplace and the 18″ TV hanging in the corner. The absolute only complaint is the lack of a closet or dresser to store clothes. There is just the hanging bar and the shelves that you see in the corner. Still, it was a great value for London and I would stay there again in a heartbeat!
And the bathroom. Again, all of it.
We were both tired and hungry, but I knew that we shouldn’t sleep, that would just throw our body clocks more out of whack, so we decided to go on a walking tour that I had read about on-line. This was a free guided walking tour. I used Free London Walking Tours after doing a bunch of reading on Trip Advisor. There are several tour companies that you can use, but I can absolutely recommend Nick and his group, he was fantastic!! No reservations needed, each tour has a meeting place on the website, always by a tube stop. You just show up and look for the green umbrella and join the tour!
We got there early and just walked into the first pub we saw to get some food. Pubs in London are different than in the US, for the most part you don’t need to wait to be seated, just grab a table where you see one. Decide what you would like to eat/drink, then head up to the bar to place your order…and pay for it there, before you get your food. Let the bartender know where your sitting and take your drinks. A server will bring your food when it’s ready. It’s an efficient process, but it takes a little getting used to if you’re an American!
After a traditional fish & chips and a pint, we still had a bit of time before the tour so we headed to Starbucks for some much needed caffeine! We then wandered over to the meeting spot and sure enough, Nick was there with his green umbrella. There were a few others there waiting and eventually we ended up with a group of about 10 people. There was quite a mix, two youngish (late teens, early 20’s) guys from Argentina, a 20 something single girl from Italy, a family of 3 from Seattle and an older (late 40ish) British couple.
This particular tour started at the Monument to the Great Fire of London. This monument is 202 feet tall and it happens to be exactly 202 feet from the spot where the fire started on Pudding Lane. Fun Fact: there was originally an inscription on one of the sides blaming the French Catholics for starting the fire, but in 1830 that line was removed.
We then walked up Lovat Lane. An old cobblestone road that still has its medieval character. Another fun fact: Here is where you can see how the “loo” got its name: In the early days of hygiene, people would just throw the contents of their chamber pots out the window onto the street below. As a “courtesy,” they would yell out “Garde a l’eau!” The British anglicized that to “Gardy-loo” and eventually just “loo.” There…now you know!
See the little trough in the center? That helped everything get on down the hill to the Thames.
We meandered our way through this part of London with Nick pointing out some really cool tidbits and buildings. A living wall:
The old posts used to help horse drawn carriages turn the corners:
Leadenhall Market…Otherwise known as the entrance to Diagon Alley!
The Royal Exchange. This is where Royal Proclamations are read by the criers. We were asked not to take pictures as we walked through the building but currently it is filled with high end boutiques, restaurants and services. In the past it has been home to such institutions as Lloyd’s of London.
We saw St. Mary-le-Bow…in order to claim Cockney heritage, you must have been born within earshot of the bells in this tower. There has been a church on this site since Saxon times and is regarded as the second most important church in the City of London, after St. Paul’s…we’ll get there too…hold your horses!!
We saw St. Bartholomew-the-Great, the oldest church in London:
And finally to the Golden Boy of Pye Corner, where the Great Fire of London was finally contained after destroying over 13,000 homes, 87 churches, 44 company halls, but surprisingly few actual lives if history is to be believed…only 16.
From there, we moved to St. Paul’s Cathedral where our tour ended. I learned so much from this tour and I would certainly recommend it to anyone travelling to London. The tip given at the end is well worth what you get out of it! In case you missed it, the website is here: http://freelondonwalkingtours.com/tour/fire-pestilence-and-plague
St. Paul’s at dusk.
After the tour ended, we headed back to our room to crash finally!!! Tomorrow we are catching the Eurostar to Paris and we have to be at the train station at 6am!!! | <urn:uuid:f2baebd6-a97e-4462-a250-e8c0bde44f5f> | CC-MAIN-2019-04 | https://soccermomtravels.com/2016/03/07/wow-airlines-a-week-in-london-and-a-day-trip-to-paris-part-2/ | 2019-01-20T13:29:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-04/segments/1547583716358.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20190120123138-20190120145138-00277.warc.gz | en | 0.965691 | 1,279 |
BENNY HINN SAYS HE HAS CHANGED CONTROVERSIAL ...
Written by: Abba II Posted on: 04/25/2003

BENNY HINN SAYS HE HAS CHANGED CONTROVERSIAL TEACHINGS
ORLANDO, Fla. (EP) -- Evangelist Benny Hinn became a focal
point of controversy this year when a cult specialist
[Hank Hanegraaff, president of the Christian Research
Institute. ed] raised questions about his teaching and
reporters questioned his lifestyle. In an interview with
Charisma magazine editor Stephen Strang, Hinn, pastor of
the 7,000- member Orlando Christian Center, discussed his
beliefs and detailed major changes in his views on some
"God is shaking me," said Hinn. "He is making dramatic
changes inside of me. ...The Lord is showing me some
things I have been wrong about. At one point I taught
certain things, such as the 'little gods' teaching, and
Jesus dying spiritually. Now I have quit teaching such
things, and I have made it clear that I no longer believe
Hinn said that after a decade of pursuing Word-Faith
doctrines, he has found some extremes in that teaching,
and is changing his views on some issues. "For example, I
used to teach that Jesus died spiritually and suffered in
Hell," he said. "Through my own study, I discovered that
this didn't line up with the Word. When the Lord said 'It
is finished' on the cross, He didn't add 'to be
Hinn told Charisma that he had modified his views on other
issues, including what is sometimes called "name it and
claim it" theology. He said, "I don't believe confessing
the Word works the way I taught it in the past. Of course,
we should believe and confess God's Word. But I don't
believe we can just confess any Scripture and make it
happen." Hinn also emphasized that he believes "the Bible
is the only authoritative source of divine revelation,"
and reaffirmed his belief in "one God -- Father, Son and
Holy Spirit. One God, three persons, absolutely one in
Though he once taught that Christians are "little gods,"
Hinn now refutes that doctrine. "I did teach the little
gods doctrine," he said. "Today I don't believe it one
iota. In fact, it's been erased off all my tapes. ...When
I taught the little gods doctrine, I was using Scriptures
that didn't fit."
Hinn acknowledged that he receives a salary of $116,000
plus a housing allowance from his church, and "much more"
in book royalties. But he said his giving to his church
last year exceeded his salary. Hinn said he paid about
$650,000 for his present home, which is in an exclusive
neighborhood with a security gate. Hinn said he no longer
wears his Rolex watch and expensive jewelry, and is
replacing his Mercedes Benz with an American-made Lincoln
"because I don't want my lifestyle to cause anyone to
Though closely associated with the so-called "prosperity
gospel," Hinn told Charisma that a recent trip to the
Philippines had changed his outlook. "Some of the most
precious Christians live there amid such poverty, such need.
Yet you see such satisfaction, such fulfillment with them.
They are happier than many Christians I know in America who
Hinn said, "The teaching on prosperity has gone too far. It
has become a business. It is no longer 'give so you will
bless somebody.' It has become 'give to get.' It has become
selfish, worldly. ...I feel terrible that I once put too
much emphasis on material prosperity. And now I am saying,
'Lord, please forgive me.'"
Divine healing is another area where Hinn's beliefs have
changed. Though he once taught that anyone with enough
faith could be healed, he now describes such a teaching as
"cruel" and acknowledges, "I have come to realize that God
is sovereign, and there are things I just don't
understand." He added, "In the future, rather than focus on
healing, I plan to focus on Jesus Himself, and let Him heal
whomever He wills to heal."
Hinn told Charisma his future ministry will have a new
emphasis. "I am looking forward to even greater healings
and miracles in my ministry," he concluded. "But I'm going
to focus on salvation as well as physical healing. Because
when God heals a body, that is temporal; but when God saves
a soul, that has eternal importance."

PGA Tour and LPGA Tour players share their secrets on golf’s most unique learning experience
On Secret Golf’s Player Channels, touring professionals and major tournament winners offer fans unique insight based on experiences and anecdotes of life on Tour, both on and off the course.
“The Player Channels are one of the most exciting new things in golf instruction,” said Secret Golf founding member and 1995 PGA Champion Steve Elkington. “They really are like a video book that gives the average player an inside and in-depth look at everything a Tour player really knows.” “It’s like a backstage pass when you go to a concert. It’s exciting to go behind the curtain and see what is back there.”
Each Player Channel offers something unique. Stacy Lewis, a two-time major tournament champion (2011 Kraft Nabisco Championship and 2013 Women’s British Open) and 11-time LPGA Tour winner, provides the first indepth platform for a world-class female touring professional.
“This is a huge opportunity for me to share what I work on,” she said. “Hopefully, we can help people with their game, get better and learn about me.”
Pat Perez, who recently won the OHL Mayakoba Classic to earn his second PGA Tour victory, emphasizes individuality. “Everybody does it differently,” Perez said. “Not one swing is the same and not everyone thinks the same. If you watch Player Channels, you are going to pick up something that is like you.” Jason Kokrak, the sixth longest driver of the golf ball on the 2016 PGA Tour, takes it deep on his Player Channel while also demonstrating, with guidance from Secret Golf teammate Jackie Burke, that a bomber can also putt.
“I am one of longer guys on Tour,” said Kokrak. “That is what everyone wants to do, hit the ball far.”
In contrast, Colt Knost demonstrates that straight and steady play also works. “A guy can relate more to me than trying to swing like Dustin Johnston, Tiger Woods or anyone,” Knost remarked. “They are not capable of doing that and neither am I. I get it done in a different way.”
The Secret Golf team is comprised of major tournament winners (Steve Elkington, Jackie Burke, Jason Dufner and Stacy Lewis), PGA Tour tournament winners (Jason Gore, Ryan Palmer and Pat Perez), current Tour players (Colt Knost, Jason Kokrak and Gaby Lopez of Mexico), and teaching professional Bradley Hughes of Australia, a former Tour player who played on the International Team in the President’s Cup.
Each member of the Secret Golf Player Team will have a dedicated channel, which will allow fans to have direct connection to their favorite players. Listed below is a link for the video trailer, describing the Player Channel for Secret Golf team member Pat Perez, the winner of the recent OHL Mayakoba Classic on the PGA Tour:
In addition, “Secret Golf with Steve Elkington”, which captured six Telly Awards, is now available to 80M plus subscribers on Amazon Video. In the show’s two seasons, Elkington and members of the Secret Golf team traveled North America in his custom mobile estate, “The Big Show”, in search of the hidden, untold stories in the world of golf. Previously, season two was aired on CBS Sports Network.
Secret Golf uncovers all aspects of golf, with every video, golf professionals’ contribution and rich library of content providing an opportunity to learn more about the game. Stealth approaches and fervent opinions for improving one’s game and skillset are unveiled. Secret Golf delves deeper than any medium before it, to investigate course design and strategy, analyze swing mechanics, and dig into the mental aspect of the game. Wherever audiences are: in front of a television, about on a mobile device or surfing the web, they’ll have immediate access to golfing’s most coveted secrets.

A reader pointed me toward the menu for Greenhouse, A Chopped Salad Company on North Pearl Street in downtown Albany.
At first the mistake seemed obvious: Mesclun, the salad of baby lettuces and other greens, was spelled mesculin, suggesting a confusion/conflation of mesclun and mescaline, the psychoactive ingredient in peyote, right. Oh, ha ha, better not have too big a salad or you’ll trip you face off. That sort of thing.
But then I looked into it and found this assertion, on a bulletin board for chefs:
mesclun is a derivation from a French word
mesculin is a derivation from a Latin word
both mean “mix”
mesclun is the more used version
And this one:
The word mesclun came to English via Provencal mesclom “mixture,” coming ultimately from Latin misculare “to mix thoroughly.” So a mesclun mix, as mesclun is often marketed, is a “mix mix”! We can see why some people have trouble with its spelling, not to mention pronunciation — there are not a lot of English words containing the -scl- series of letters.
I’m inclined to believe the latter, as it’s from the blog for Take Out Word For It, a webzine and site.
Of course, to futher confuse matters (or clear them up) is the following, from an academic paper titled “The New Salad Crop Revolution,” by one E.J. Ryder, published as a chapter in the 2002 book “Trends in New Crops and New Uses,” from the American Society for Horticultural Science Press:
Mezclar is a Spanish word meaning “to mix.” “Mesclun” is a name used for a salad mixture of leaves of various species. Traditionally, in the Provence region of France, mesclun consisted of four items: chervil, arugula, lettuce, and endive in precise proportions. Mesclun is also known as spring mix, boutique salad, or field greens. | <urn:uuid:e6915368-33f2-493a-b13d-0d5e8b167d63> | CC-MAIN-2014-15 | http://blog.timesunion.com/tablehopping/767/whats-in-a-name-2/ | 2014-04-24T10:24:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-15/segments/1398223206118.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20140423032006-00362-ip-10-147-4-33.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.938453 | 466 |
Welcome back to Creative Kids – where I share guest bloggers and the art, craft & messy play activities they get up to with their kids. Today’s post is from Jade at About ASD, who is sharing tons of messy play ideas which are perfect for the summer holidays…
Please note – This post contains affiliate links. This means any purchases from these links are from amazon. I will receive a small commission but this is at no extra cost to you and supports my blog.
Most kids find messy play impossible to resist. If you really can’t stand the thought of messy play in your house, do it in the garden or bathroom.
Keep an eye out for local playgroups or even messy play groups. This way the kids get to enjoy it but you don’t have to clean up.
Some kids will need a bit more encouragement and may need a bit of time before they want to get stuck in. Some are more sensitive than others and some won’t like touching new things that feel odd. Others will dive right in (literally).
I strongly advise you get a messy play mat / table cloth or tray. It will get messy so if the mess can be contained it helps. Also, your children will see the mat and associate it with messy play. Then they get excited before you even start.
With very little ones it can be useful to keep them in a highchair for very messy activities. Having said that children seem to have an amazing ability to splatter anything messy across the room. Be prepared with baby wipes and don’t wear your favourite top.
We bought a plastic cement tray online which has been great for messy play. They are large so we have to keep ours in the shed.
My eldest son has autism and messy play has been a fantastic way to engage with him. When you introduce something fun to kids it is a great opportunity for you to play with them.
Messy play needs supervision if you don’t want paint all over your walls or your children eating shaving foam. If you are already supervising you may as well get involved too.
If your child won’t tolerate you playing with them then play alongside them. Hopefully they will join you if you are doing something exciting.
There are so many options when it comes to messy play but here are my favourites:
This is always a winner in our house and there are so many options. It is usually easier to strip your kids down to nappies / pants when they are going to get soaked. If you are going outside in the cold stick on the waterproofs and wellies.
Washing up – Kids love to copy things they see every day. If you have plastic plates and cups they love washing them up. Toys get really dirty and every now and then I give the kids a bucket of water and washing up liquid (the more bubbles the better) and a pile of dirty toys for them to wash, they love it.
Painting the wall – on a nice day give your child a bucket of water and a large outdoor paintbrush. Then let them ‘paint’ the outside wall, fence or door.
Spray bottle – you can get these in most supermarkets or garden centres. Let your child spray the outside windows or walls. Or they can spray the plants and trees in the garden or even spray you if it’s a hot day! It may be difficult for little ones to do the squeeze action but my 3 year old loves it.
Pouring water – this is a very simple life skill but one that needs a bit of practice. Give your little ones some water with plastic cups, jugs, buckets, watering cans, funnels and they will have hours of fun. Let them play in the bath every day before bed and don’t forget the paddling pool on a hot day. If you want to get more creative try a water wall.
Water walls – A friend of mine helped me create a little water wall in the garden. There are loads of examples online. You can use any old bits of pipe, guttering, trellis, funnels etc. Your kids will love to help set it up. When its ready give them a jug or cup of water and they can pour it and watch the water run through.
Puddles – My kids seem to be obsessed with puddles and can’t pass one without jumping in it! If it is a hot day make your own puddles. If it is raining get your waterproofs on and go puddle jumping. Muddy puddles seem to be the most popular. You can also add powder paint to puddles if you want to add a splash of colour.
The Hose – Give your kids the garden hose and they will love you. You will get drenched and this is why its Daddy’s job in our house. My son loves to wash the car with the hose. Let them loose in the garden and you may end up with a bog but you will have happy kids.
We got an old piece of guttering and set up a run across the garden. They use it to wash toy boats along using the hose.
My husband likes to use the hose on our toy slide. I tend to hide when this is going on as I can’t watch my kids at high speed flying down the slide.
Ice – A really simple one but great for teaching about temperature. I love to use jelly or cake moulds to freeze different shapes. It can be fun to add some juice or food colouring to the water before it so you get coloured ice. You could start with some ice cubes and see if you can build a tower before it starts to melt.
Obviously the best place to play with sand is at the beach but I don’t have one nearby so we have invested in a sandpit. If you are in the UK then a lid is essential. Many child orientated attractions have sandpits or even some shopping centres so find out where your local one is as your kids will love it.
Sandcastles – every kid needs a bucket and spade set. Thankfully you can pick them up cheaply at the pound shop or local supermarket. Sandcastles are a must, it took my son a little while to get the process but once he did he was off. Most kids love to knock them down.
Coloured sand – you can buy coloured sand or colour it yourself. It is great for making cards and doing art and craft activities.
Kinetic sand – this is very popular at the moment. You can mould the sand and it will stay together in the shape. So far I’ve had mixed results with kinetic sand but it is well worth a try.
Treasure hunt – bury your child’s toys (e.g. little dinosaurs) and get them to dig them up in the sand.
My boys love getting muddy. Get outside, in the garden, woods or local park, you will find plenty of mud. You can also get cheap bags of compost in the supermarket which makes for hours of fun.
Gardening – get your kids to help you in the garden. They will love planting seeds in pots or planting flowers. Strawberries and sunflowers are good ones where you should get results quickly. But for those that can’t wait cress and herbs will grow very quickly.
Digging – Some children benefit from doing heavy work as they have tons of energy to use up. Digging and moving soil in a wheelbarrow is a good game.
Trucks – My son has a toy truck and he loves filling it with mud and transporting it round the garden to a new mud pile.
Mud kitchen – there are some amazing examples of mud kitchens online. We got a second hand toy kitchen for the garden and the kids can now make mud pies whenever they like. Old pots and pans are great garden toys.
Diggers and toys – I love to get some cheap compost and put it out for my boys to play with. They can use toy diggers, cranes, bucket and spade.
4. Arts and crafts
This is one I try to do at the table or in the garden as I do not want paint all over my furniture. Having said that if you buy washable paint it does come off very easily.
Pinterest – to be honest I am not very good at art and craft but I have found loads of easy ideas on Pinterest. I find it great to look through for new ideas to try.
Painting – this is great fun and you can use lots of different colours and try mixing new ones. Foam shapes are great for printing or you can buy stamps. Small children can get very messy-a good option when starting out is roller paints.
Mess free painting – technically not messy play but for those days when you need your child not to be covered in paint. Take a small piece of card that will fit in a plastic sandwich bag. Squeeze some blobs of paint onto it. Then carefully place it inside the bag (trying not to squash the paint blobs). Now use sellotape or parcel tape to seal all four edges of the sandwich bag. Give it to your child and they can squash the blobs of paint and use their hands to move the paint around.
Making Cards – get some card and whenever you are doing arts and crafts let them loose with paint, glue and glitter. It is always handy to have some homemade cards on hand for grandparents or teachers. In my experience if you try and get them to be creative for a card you need the next day that will be the one time they don’t want to do it.
Seasonal themes – Easter, Christmas, Father’s day, bonfire night there is always an occasion or season that you can use as a theme for arts and crafts. At Easter we used paper plates and cotton wool to make a sheep, the internet is full of ideas and templates to help out those of us who are not naturally creative.
Playdoh – actually it isn’t too messy, you can use biscuit cutter sets on playdoh and it is great for working on shapes and colours with your kids. There are lots of playdoh kits out there and you can easily pick them up second hand.
Hand, foot and finger painting – getting your kids to do hand prints and footprints can make great gifts, you can also get them to do finger painting as an alternative to paintbrushes.
Welly painting – my boys really enjoyed this, we got a long piece of paper (you can just tape some together) and a tray of paint, the boys put on their wellies jumped in the paint then went walking (or running) up and down the paper.
5. Raid the store cupboard
You always have things at the back of the cupboard that can be pulled out for messy play. When you are at the supermarket keep an eye on reduced items as many will be great for playing with.
Cornflour – this is one of my favourite activities. Mix 450g of cornflour with 475ml water, keep mixing until it is a thick consistency. You can use more or less water and try out different consistencies. Give it to the kids on a tray with bowls, spoons and cups so they can mix it, run it through their hands and drizzle it all over the tray. It is fantastic to play with as it pours like a liquid but also acts like a solid. The best bit is although it is very messy at first as it dries it becomes very easy to clean up and doesn’t stain. My eldest will play with it for ages.
Cereal / Porridge – if you have a box of cereal that is going to waste or porridge use it for messy play, use it as the base then add in some toys for the kids to play with.
Herbs and spices – Every now and then I tidy my cupboards and find lots of out of date herbs and spices! Instead of putting them straight in the bin let the kids play with them. Get them to smell them, look at the different textures and colours. The containers are great fun for shaking out the contents into a big bowl.
Rice and pasta – If you have some dried rice or pasta this can be fun to play with, you can glue it into pictures or simply practice picking it up in a spoon and putting it in bowls.
Cooked pasta – You can cook pasta then add some food colouring once it is cooked, then add some vegetable or olive oil so it doesn’t stick together. Once it is cool you can let the kids play with it.
Some people use shaving foam but since I found mouldable soap foam this is my favourite as it doesn’t really leave a mess. You can simply get some foam between your hands and clap over your child to create a snow effect then let them stamp on it.
Ice cream splat – get an ice cream cone and fill it with the foam, let your kids then splat the ‘ice cream’ onto a tray. It is over quickly but a good attention and interactive game.
Christmas scene – if you have some Christmas themed toys you can set them up with a foam (snow) base.
Children are never too young to start cooking and preparing food, start small like spreading butter you will be surprised how much they enjoy it. Try to make it fun and hopefully they will also enjoy eating it.
Decorating cakes – if you don’t have time to make the cakes or don’t want to, just pick up some basic plain cupcakes from the supermarket and let the kids cover them in icing and sprinkles,
Rice crispy / cornflake cakes – these are so easy to make and most children will love licking the spoon from the melted chocolate.
Muffin pizza – slice a muffin in half, get the child to spread on some tomato base then cover with grated cheese and other toppings they like.
Make a sandwich – keep it simple let them make their own lunch with a little help.
The pound shop is a great place to stock up on messy play supplies as is your local supermarket.
Facebook, Gumtree and Freecycle/Freegle are great places to get second hand garden toys, old bits of guttering / pipes and lots more cheap or for free.
Enjoy getting messy x

My VCDs will not work, error message is enclosed...greenspun.com : LUSENET : Video CD : One Thread
I have tried EVERYTHING! I have downloaded XINGMPEG, MediaPlayer 6.0, Sony player, PowerDVD, etc. I get this error message with most of these peograms when i try to run a .dat file:
"MMSYSTEM296 The file cannot be played on the specified MCI device. The file may be corrupt, or not in the correct format."
What can I do? I'm running Win95 (build 2) on a clone PII333, with a 24X CDROM. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have had the same error msg. with Windows NT on a Pentium 166 system. I have been able to run the same VCD on another system running Windows 95. I have heard that sometimes pirated VCD's work on some systems but not others, so make sure you have originals. Also, it might be the video card, try installing another card and see what happens.

Go to see Question "Are new vcd .dat files different?" dated 02 June 1999. You could be having the same problem as I have had. Fortunately for me, the very clever "Lone Ranger" has all the answers. After getting the lead from him I surfed the net for SVCD, and now I am alot more wiser on this subject. Your problem could be that your .dat files are not the old type mpeg1 but recently "MADE IN CHINA" SVCD or even DVCD type. This type .dat files will not play on the PC computer.
-- Tomo (email@example.com), June 04, 1999.
Just lately, I found that if I put Scsi1hlp.vxd file in folder C: \windows\system\iosubsys\ and then do a reboot, I will be able to play most .dat files from a vcd placed in a rom drive. I use Xing 3.30 in Windows 98. However, "Nero" burning program may become unworkable. To use "Nero" program successfully again you may have to delete Sci1hlp.vxd file and do a reboot.
Hope this method also works for you.

CIS Bayad Center Inc., a multi-channel payment platform in the Philippines, reports growth in digital transactions within its biller and partner network since May 2020.
Citing a study, Bayad Center said as of August 2020, online payments recorded a year-on-year growth rate of 130% compared to the same period last year. Digital transactions account for about 34% of the 10 million transactions monthly, coming from a 17% contribution before the lockdown period.
This trajectory resonates with the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas’ (BSP) move to make e-payments account for 20% of the overall financial transactions in the country and reach 50% by the year 2023. The ongoing pandemic is considered as a catalyst and driver to achieving this goal earlier.
Bayad Center continues to strengthen its onsite to online (O2O) platform to give customers wider options in doing financial transactions. It has 39,000 payment touchpoints and more than 1,900 billers to date. The company’s service portfolio covers not only bills payments but also domestic and international remittance, insurance sales, medical reimbursement, ATM cash withdrawal, loan disbursement and more.
“As the pioneer and market leader in the bills payment collection industry, we aim to further contribute to building a more robust digital finance ecosystem in the country,” said Lawrence Y. Ferrer, CEO and president, Bayad Center. “We continue to expand our biller network and collaborations with banks, non-bank financial institutions, fintech companies, as well as government agencies to deliver services that are responsive to the changing needs and lifestyles of Filipinos.” | <urn:uuid:3154e5be-5079-4bf9-bef6-44a67e3a61a5> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://backendnews.net/bayad-center-records-growth-in-digital-transactions/ | 2022-08-10T21:01:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571210.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810191850-20220810221850-00313.warc.gz | en | 0.93269 | 352 |

Hey, there and welcome or welcome back to the podcast. Today we are talking about overproduction and overconsumption.
The theme of this season of the show is circular fashion. And as we’ve established, circularity must mean producing and consuming less first and foremost.
And while big fashion brands, namely fast fashion brands, are the main cause of this rising consumption that we’re seeing, another important part of this conversation is social media and influencer culture. So in this episode, I am chatting with Lily of Imperfect Idealist on;
- The connections between social media and the rise of fast fashion
- Why overconsumption and overproduction are such big problems to begin with
- Lily is also sharing how fast fashion hauls glamorize overconsumption
- What some of the solutions are for overconsumption and overproduction
- Her tips for consuming less
- Common signs of greenwashing that we should keep an eye out for
- What she sees as the biggest misconceptions about sustainable fashion
- And her tips for talking to your friends and family about these issues and about more conscious or slow fashion

Alright, now let’s get started with this episode, Lily is going to share her background and what led her to start her platform Imperfect Idealist.
Basically, my blogging journey started when I was in middle school, it was kind of at the height of fast fashion giants, like Forever 21 and H&M.
And I was just a regular old-style blogger. I had very colorful, embarrassing outfits. And over time, I just became more aware of sustainability and consumerism.
I’d say around the college is when I really started slowing down my own consumption. But that was really the extent of my knowledge about sustainable fashion.
It was only a couple of years ago when I started really getting more interested in sustainability and sustainable fashion.
I felt like a lot of the movement was really emphasizing still consumerism just for ethical brands. So I wanted to kind of dive into those misconceptions and talk about other ways to participate in the movement beyond buying more from these different brands.
And that was actually my first kind of piece of content in the sustainable fashion sphere. It was a blog post about the misconceptions about sustainable fashion.
And from there, it just expanded to a bunch of different platforms.
ELIZABETH: Yeah, that’s really interesting that you got your start in the sustainable fashion space with that topic, because you still talk about overconsumption.
And that’s a big topic that we’re talking about today in this interview.
So to sort of set the foundations for this conversation, could you share what overproduction is and overconsumption is, and then why these are such big problems?
LILY: Yeah, of course.
So, overproduction is more like this systemic, like fashion company level, but we have these brands that are releasing thousands of styles weekly, or even daily.
And they’re producing more than can be consumed or sold. What ends up happening is that they will burn or destroy their unsold stock.
And it’s both the cheaper brands as well as the luxury brands, especially since the luxury brands want to preserve their own attainability, right?
So we just have a ton of bad things happening on that. The overproduction, though is still related to overconsumption on an individual level.
Because these companies, do what’s profitable.
So on the individual level, we have overconsumption, where people are buying more than they need, they are getting a ton of trends, cycling through a lot of clothing quickly, and not wearing it as long as they can.
I’d say that these two things are very related because there are people who love to say blame the companies and not the consumers, and they say it’s just an overproduction problem.
But we as people, are consuming way more than we used to decades ago.
And for some companies, it just might be more profitable for them to produce a ton of this one trendy thing and have some extras than to produce less than maybe sell out.
So yeah, I’d say these two things are super related, and I definitely hope that both of them can be addressed.
ELIZABETH: Yeah, for sure.
They are definitely very interconnected. And there are a lot of causes of overproduction and overconsumption.
But I feel social media has played a large role in it.
Like SheIn for example is this ultra-fast fashion brand that doesn’t even have physical stores; they basically have relied on social media to grow their brand.
What connections do you see with social media and fast fashion and overconsumption?
LILY: I definitely think they’re very connected.
This isn’t super scientific or anything but if you were to look up SheIn and TikTok on Google Trends, you’ll see that they kind of peak and dip with one another.
Which I don’t I mean, they’re definitely, it seems pretty correlated.
And you’ll see on TikTok, in particular, these massive SheIn hauls that are hundreds, sometimes like thousands of dollars.
And they’re not only by influencers, but they’re also by regular people. And they amass hundreds of thousands and sometimes millions of views and likes.
We know now shopping is being integrated into a lot of these social media apps as well. Like Instagram with the shopping tab, there’s stuff like liketoknowit.
Within these platforms, there are sponsored posts, encouraging people to shop from these fashion fast fashion brands.
So I’d say it’s definitely social media is kind of a two-way street in the way and its relationship with fast fashion because people will not only buy from social media, but people will also buy things for social media, right?
People will buy clothing just for their Instagram posts, or just for their hauls.
And they don’t really want to want it to be seen twice on their feeds because they think that’s bad, right? So it’s a very interesting kind of a two-way relationship here.
Yeah, and I’m not on TikTok at the moment, but I did read that TikTok was launching their own sort of shopping tool as well or something in the works with that.
And Instagram is constantly launching new shopping features and making it easier and faster to shop on Instagram.
Even in the main feed, when I’m scrolling through, it won’t suggest it… it will like to suggest just for people to follow, but shops to check out.
It really feels like they’re pushing you more and more to shop, even directly on the app.
So it’s clear that we cannot deny the role that social media plays with fast fashion and what role fast fashion plays in overconsumption and overproduction.
And one of the ways that this happens is with hauls, which is something you mentioned. And I’d love to dive deeper into that.
So could you address the topic of hauls and share why hauls are so problematic?
LILY: Yeah, of course, I always like to say that, it’s one thing if you buy a lot of clothing, you keep it to yourself, that’s like, not super great, right?
But it’s another thing if you go buy a lot of clothing, and then you are promoting it to people. And this begins this vicious cycle of consumption because these hauls go viral.
And then regular people want to do them because they see that they can gain views and a following from them.
And then, unfortunately, the people who build their platforms by doing hauls, have to continue doing that, because that’s what people are interested in.
I’ve read interviews by influencers who started out this way saying that they are kind of stuck in this cycle.
And then even if people are not making haul videos, if they’re not influenced by the things that they see to make their own videos, you’re still exposed to them and you see all the likes. There are a lot of impressionable young people on TikTok, for instance.
And people who don’t know much about fast fashion and these young folks, think that these brands must be really good.
And this is desirable, right? This is attainable because so many people are liking this. So I just worry seeing all the cycle continue to perpetuate itself…
So what do you think some of the solutions are for overproduction and overconsumption?
Maybe on an individual and more systems level?
LILY: Yeah, for sure.
So when it comes to overproduction, I think that’s where we need more legislation.
So we need to have these laws making it so that these companies have to donate their unsold stock, for instance, so that it doesn’t just get destroyed.
Maybe making it illegal for them to write off that destroyed stock on taxes, or at least taking any benefits out for destroying your stock.
And then I think also on another end, we need to be ensuring that these companies are having ethical working conditions and fair pay.
So recently, there have been agreements like the Garment Worker Protection Act, the Bangladesh Accord, which were recently renewed.
Because I think overproduction is related to unethical labor. The reason this clothing is so cheap to produce, and that these companies are able to produce so much of it is because people are being exploited, they’re being overworked, they’re being underpaid.
On that end, definitely we need more legislation.
When it comes to overconsumption, I think we really just need to change this culture around the way we approach our clothing.
I think we need more literacy around the way we take care of our clothing. People just don’t necessarily know how to wash their clothes, that they don’t need to wash their clothes every single time that maybe they should consider air drying.
People don’t know how to mend anymore, because it’s not taught in schools. And people don’t know how to style things in different ways, because all they see are hauls.
They don’t like that there are not as many styling tips. Right?
So yeah, I think when it comes to an individual level, we need to reshape this culture, right?
ELIZABETH: Right. It’s a cultural shift that needs to happen.
And that’s so true about the styling tips and influencers or the lack thereof.
A lot of influencers are in addition to hauls, having these outfits they post with a liketoknow.it link for people to shop for the exact outfit.
And then their followers just buy all of the pieces the influencer is wearing to copy the look. And it’s not about building your style, finding what you like, learning how to work with your closet, but literally just copying the exact looks that you see on Instagram.
So there’s obviously a lot of temptation all around us that is causing this overconsumption.
So what tips do you have for somebody who is trying to reduce their consumption but is having a difficult time doing so?
LILY: Yeah, I would say the first thing is always just to try to remove that temptation.
So I know shopping, for instance, is considered a very popular social activity in some different spaces.
And I used to go shopping with my mom a lot. And now I just try to say no and suggest another activity like, let’s go on a walk.
Or I actually really like mending clothes with my mom, because it’s a really relaxing thing to do. And you can use that time to talk about different things.
And so that’s the first thing I’d recommend just trying to suggest some alternative activities and to just remove yourself from these situations.
So another thing I’d recommend is unfollowing fast fashion influencers and replacing those with people who talk more about slow fashion and styling.
But also kind of being careful not to follow people who are still constantly promoting consumption, even if it’s from ethical brands.
And then I would definitely say to learn how to take care of your clothes, learn how to mend. And I know we talked about just a moment ago, finding your personal style.
So that’s kind of a nebulous term. But I think what can help is if people go through maybe a no-buy period.
If they’re used to buying a lot of clothing, just finding what they naturally gravitate towards. People really like to make mood boards on Pinterest just to kind of explore different styles.
And then trying to find what your signature pieces might be and building outfits around those.
ELIZABETH: Yes, such great advice there.
Removing temptation is very key.
So in this sustainable fashion journey, we know it is a constantly evolving journey where we’re always learning more.
So I’d love to explore some of the misconceptions of sustainable fashion because you’ve talked about this before on your platforms, what do you think, are some of the most common misconceptions that people might believe at the beginning of their journey?
And why are those not true?
LILY: I think one of the first instincts people tend to have when they’re transitioning to slow fashion is they think they have to get rid of all their old fast fashion.
I think a lot of people think it’s really about the clothing, the labels they have in their closet.
And that’s really just counterproductive because one of the main things or pillars of sustainable fashion is wearing what you have as long as you can.
Because if you get rid of that clothing, you’re gonna have to get more clothing, right?
So that’s antithetical to slow fashion.
Another one, I’d say is that people think that sustainable fashion is really only for rich people.
When poor people, immigrants, BIPOC, a lot of them have been participating in sustainable fashion out of necessity all this time.
Really, people just conflate sustainable fashion with expensive brands. But that’s really not the case. I’d say what’s more important is reducing your consumption, making your clothes last, taking good care of them.
And a lot of times people don’t have a choice, but to do that, right?
I’d also say that another one that people don’t realize is that they think that donating their clothing is really good, when in fact, about only 20% of their clothing ends up getting resold in the thrift stores.
And the rest usually ends up in the Global South.
I think CBS might have done a story about this recently with some footage of the rotting clothing and landfills on the shores of Ghana, and it just it contaminates the water, it puts the local textile workers out of jobs.
So I think all of this is just connected, right?
Like the clothing, we buy the clothing that we get rid of… it just doesn’t disappear.
And I think people kind of have this out-of-sight, out-of-mind mindset. So I would say those are some of the really big ones.
Yeah, I also feel that those are the biggest misconceptions that I see, and ones that I believed myself too, so definitely not shaming anyone or anything like that because I do think that one of the factors that play into these misconceptions is greenwashing or misleading marketing.
So could we talk a little bit more about greenwashing?
Have you greenwashing play into these misconceptions and also what are some common signs of greenwashing that you look out for?
LILY: Oh, yeah, I definitely say so.
Especially when it comes to the whole donating recycling kind of thing. Because of a big initiative that a lot of fast fashion giants have like SheIn and H&M, I believe Zara as well, they have this recycling program.
And if you bring in some of your old clothing, you’ll get a discount, right? And people think that that’s great.
My clothes are gonna get recycled into new ones. When this is not really helpful to have circularity when you’re not reducing your production in the first place.
You’re not reducing your consumption in the first place. And in this case, these recycling programs actually probably encourage further consumption because people think they can just buy more if they’re closer to going to get recycled.
I would say that’s like, a really big connection. And then some of the other really popular ways to greenwash are when these companies have their specific conscious lines, but the rest of their thousands of products, those are not conscious, those are not made in a conscious way.
And a lot of times, maybe the materials are a little bit better.
But we still don’t know about the working conditions of those garment workers. We don’t know how they’re being paid.
And I think the brands are really able to accomplish this by talking about sustainability and really vague terms. They call themselves conscious.
But what does that really mean?
They say they’re radically transparent. But what does that really mean? They really need to back that up with specific measures, right?
They need to back that up by saying, we pay our, garment workers X amount, we have this many audits per year, and this is how we did and those audits.
Every time that a brand comes out with a statement, that sounds really good.
I think we should be constantly questioning that and digging, digging deeper. Right?
We need more data, more transparency, more information.
We need to keep asking more questions. So education is obviously super important to this movement. And so is accessing it.
So could you talk to us about some of the barriers you see in sustainable fashion and how we can make help make it more inclusive?
LILY: Yeah, of course.
I’d say that I know sizing can be a really big issue in the fashion industry in general, not just in sustainable fashion.
It’s an issue for fast fashion brands, slow fashion brands, for used clothing, because that trickles down eventually.
So if we want more people to participate in sustainable fashion, we have to make sure that there are options for people.
One thing I try to do, if I’m working with a brand is just asking them about their plans to expand their sizing.
We can support brands that already have this extended sizing.
Another thing that can improve inclusivity is when brands create adaptive options for people with disabilities. So that could be people with sensory issues, people in wheelchairs, who might need different types of clothing.
And again, if we want people to participate, we need to have not good options for them, not just basic options.
And, yeah, I think another thing that really prevents people from getting interested in the movement is just they believe that they have to be perfect.
They think that they can’t ever buy fast fashion, which, if you can avoid it, for sure that’s great, you should probably try.
But if you don’t have a lot of options, because there aren’t thrift stores near you, and you don’t have a lot of time to go digging, and the online options don’t work for you either, for whatever reason, maybe it’s a sizing issue.
I think we have to kind of give people some grace. Because if you have to pick an option that might not be the most ethical, you can still do the best you can and make that piece of clothing last.
And I think sometimes within this sustainable fashion movement, there are people who are understanding of these different situations, just like the reality of what’s going on.
So I think just being a little bit more open-minded about the different situations people are in and not judging people for whatever they have to do, and just encouraging people to do their best, I think really makes a difference with inclusivity.
ELIZABETH: Mhm, yeah I think it makes a huge difference.
So in terms of inclusivity and broadening the appeal of this movement and increasing the access.
A question I get a lot from people is something along the lines of I want to share about sustainable fashion or share the problems with the fashion industry, but I don’t want to sound preachy, or judgmental, or anything like that.
And I feel like you do such a great job at education and making it feel very inclusive.
And so I was curious if you had any advice for that?
LILY: Yeah, of course.
I think that’s a really common concern for a lot of people. Especially, younger folks who might be worried about what their friends think and everything.
And I mean, even older folks, you don’t want to potentially sound pushy, or you make people defensive.
So I think one thing that can be helpful is just always framing that around your journey. So, if you were to say to your friend who wants to go shopping, like, Oh, actually, I was learning about sustainable fashion, and I don’t really want to buy so much clothing anymore.
Do you mind if we go do this instead? Do you want to do a clothing swap instead? Do you want to organize that? Or do you want to mend our clothing together? I can teach you how to do that.
Or maybe there’s this documentary-like that I was really interested in and I wanted to learn more about sustainable fashion.
Would you want to watch that with me?
So I think, rather than kind of telling people, oh, you’re doing this wrong, like don’t shop so much, this is bad. I think just being a little bit more… what’s the word?
I don’t know if subtle is the right word, but I think just approaching it from a more encouraging angle. And just making it seem like, this is important to me, and this is important to me because of this.
And I think if they’re your friends, hopefully, they will understand that and will be open-minded.
I also know that, if you just start sharing about things on your own platforms, and your friends see that it’s not as direct, right?
So it’s not confrontational. I know a lot of people, at least some of the people I know in my life, I don’t necessarily talk to them directly about sustainable fashion.
But they learn about it because of the stuff that I share. Then another thing I guess is just if you ever have any opportunity to talk or give a presentation, I think that’s always helpful. You can always use that avenue.
So, at work, for instance, we do a personal presentation, everyone cycles through a personal presentation.
And I chose to talk about sustainable fashion because that’s obviously really important to me and I thought that was a really cool avenue for me to reach people who might really not know a lot about it.
ELIZABETH: Yeah I love that!
Such great ideas there. So we are coming to the end of our conversation today.
But I have one final question for you. What does a better future for fashion look like to you?
LILY: Yeah, that’s a really important question, because I think we really need a vision, right for what we’re working towards.
And I’d say that there are a couple of different angles that I would want to tackle a better fashion, fashion future.
And I think the first is always just having better legislation, better protections for the garment workers.
So we need enforceable and also and actually enforce laws around the world to make sure that garment workers are safe, that they are being paid fairly.
I think it’s important to have some sort of maybe an international trade agreement so that, if one country does one thing, then people aren’t moving to the other countries without these protections, right.
And I know I’m pretty hopeful with the renewed Bangladesh Accord, I don’t remember why it was the new name is, but I think it was called the International Accord because they have the possibility of being expanded into other countries.
And I think that’s amazing. And I know there have also been talks earlier in the year about maybe having someone in the government dedicated to overseeing the fashion industry. It would be really cool to see something like that.
I know, France had an unofficial minister of fashion and recent years. I think showing companies that we care about what’s happening and their factories are really important.
I think, also, we need to clean up the messes that we made, especially, in countries like the US where we’ve dumped all our clothing in the Global South.
You know, taking responsibility for that eliminating that waste, putting that to good use. I know people have gotten really creative with fabrics that have been overproduced, and they are able to make things from cut-offs.
It’s really amazing. What people can do with just small pieces of fabric, I think we need to teach clothing care, and just what’s going on in schools, I think there’s a lot of disconnects.
So people just don’t realize or they don’t care, because they don’t actually realize what’s happening in these factories, and what they can actually do to implement sustainable fashion in their own lives.
So if we taught sewing, if we taught people about what’s happening abroad, and I mean, even here as well, right?
LA factories and other factories in the US, well, I think if people realize what was happening in their own backyards, they might try to care a little bit more.
And then I think another pillar of a better fashion future would really just be giving people the tools to have their own sustainable style.
So if we were to normalize outfit repeating, if we were to normalize wearing things until they break, right?
If we were to normalize, not going out and buying a ton of hauls or even just the idea that shopping is a hobby is kind of problematic, right?
So just really changing the culture around the way we approach fashion.

It’s the time of year that we say a huge thank you to BBC Children in Need, which has its annual celebration this month. Thanks to their support, the soundtrack to children’s wards and EACH Hospices across the East feature fits of giggles, guffaws of laughter and squeals of delight.
Our Clown Round project has been running for over ten years now, thanks to generous grants from Children in Need. Over the years the project has grown, and currently you might spot our Clown Doctors bringing fun, laughter and distraction to young people and their families in Norfolk & Norwich, James Paget, Ipswich and Colchester Hospitals, as well as EACH Hospices in Norfolk and Suffolk.
For the past decade Drs Fidget, Misschief, Curley, Buffle and Daydream have been visiting young patients, engaging them in clowning, storytelling, music, magic, circus skills and improvisation.
Siobhan Johnson, our Project Officer, explains: “Thanks to BBC Children in Need, our Clown Round project has been cheering up children and their families in hospitals and hospices in the East for over a decade.
“With their help, the project continues to grow, and as their campaign week comes to a close again this year, our Clown Doctors are supporting and empowering more young patients than ever before.”
A parent at James Paget Hospital said: “What a fantastic thing to do, after a few depressing days we are all full of smiles and laughter. Made my week.”
You can still make donations to BBC Children in Need on their website.
Or, if you’d like to find out more about Clown Round, or directly support the project, head to our website. | <urn:uuid:449d1565-3a87-4de2-98d5-149555686fcf> | CC-MAIN-2021-31 | https://www.suffolkartlink.org.uk/celebrating-bbc-children-in-need/ | 2021-08-01T12:56:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-31/segments/1627046154214.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20210801123745-20210801153745-00259.warc.gz | en | 0.953041 | 362 |
Safety NetsREQUEST A QUOTE
A safety net is a device used to minimize fall hazards in construction sites and other work areas where nets are required to prevent fall hazards.
They are one of three safety solutions stipulated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in response to fall hazards including guard rails and personal fall arrest systems.
Falls are the main cause of death on construction sites and so OSHA has set regulations for employers to follow to protect workers. Safety Nets are made with various types of mesh netting, each with their own cord diameters, mesh sizes, and strengths. Safety nets help prevent imminent or actual hazardous situations from developing into major incidents or even accidents. | <urn:uuid:5d681d02-11a8-4318-bdff-acb192d3bccd> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | https://netking.co.za/mine-safety-netting/safety-nets/ | 2021-09-16T22:33:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780053759.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20210916204111-20210916234111-00611.warc.gz | en | 0.93289 | 142 |

Mediocrity is a curse in the NBA. It is a no man's land occupied by teams that are not necessarily good enough to contend for a championship, but also not bad enough to get the kind of draft picks that can transcend a franchise.
Meanwhile, the GM of a mediocre team is always faced with the unenviable task of deciding whether to tear down a sinking ship or continue to ride a car with heavy mileage that has hit a few speed bumps until the wheels fall off.
Know who usually gets the deciding vote? The paying fans.
Now, if the Boston Celtics were a perpetual playoff bottom feeder that had guys like Vin Baker or Antoine "Employee No. 8" Walker on the team, people would be asking for blood like it was a Salem witch trial.
But because the team is composed of fan favorites like Kevin Garnett and Celtic mainstay Paul Pierce, everyone is willing to give the them the most elusive PR glory that ever existed in sports—the benefit of the doubt.
Which means, it doesn't really matter that LeBron James essentially assassinated the Celtics playoff hopes in one game, so much as that Boston was only one game away from beating the now defending champs.
It doesn't really matter that we now know the extent of Dwyane Wade's knee problems during the playoffs or that Chris Bosh missed a majority of the series more so than that Avery Bradley, Jeff Green, and Chris Wilcox were sidelined with injury.
So what if the Miami Heat eliminated the Celtics for the second season in a row and just stole a former member of their big three for half the money he could've received to stay in Boston? They have Jason Terry, Jared Sullinger, and Fab Melo now in the fold along with a healthy Jeff Green and Avery Bradley.
Will the Celtics regret retooling this summer instead of rebuilding?
Who cares that Kevin Garnett will be 37 while Paul Pierce and Jason Terry will be 35 before the third round of next season's playoffs start? Rajon Rondo will still only be 27.
Finally, what difference does it make that Derrick Rose and Dwight Howard were both sidelined with injuries at the start of last year's playoffs? Boston has been among the Eastern conference elite since they won the championship in 2008.
This summer was a fork in the road for the Celtics, and they decided to go all-in with the same foundation of players that has betrayed them for the last four years running.
And maybe they had every reason to stay the course given how close they came last season in spite of all odds (or injuries) and given the grim reality of what the alternative might've been (anyone want to play in hypothermia, USA with Rajon "I'm so unlikable my parents almost ran away from home" Rondo?)
But don't be surprised if this time next year, the Celtics and its fanbase aren't sitting at home dejected after another failed run and kicking themselves for sacrificing a better tomorrow with a similar today.
Because, from the rest of the world's perspective, the Celtics have been a sinking ship ever since Kendrick Perkins was traded away, and Ubuntu went from being a symbol of unity to something Phoebe Buffay and Rachel Green may have once tried to order at a Sushi restaurant.
My only question is, will the "if only we were healthy" card still provide fans with the same kind of solace for the next three years that it seemingly has in the last four? | <urn:uuid:83948b5a-e643-4978-8929-5ec268def369> | CC-MAIN-2015-06 | http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1260498-celtics-retooling-efforts-will-prove-futile-for-aging-team | 2015-01-26T06:29:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-06/segments/1422120394037.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20150124172634-00032-ip-10-180-212-252.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.974151 | 714 |

Cold Virus May Trigger Type 1 Diabetes
Children With Diabetes 10 Times More Likely to Have Enterovirus Infection
The Search for a Type 1 Vaccine continued...
“There are more than 100 strains of enteroviruses, but probably only a handful are associated with type 1 diabetes,” she says.
Virologist Didier Hober, MD, PhD, of France’s University Lille says other important questions remain about enteroviruses and type 1 diabetes, such as whether the virus is involved in all or just some cases of the disease.
He says patients who tested negative for the virus in past studies may have actually had the infection at levels that were too low to detect.
Hober says the enterovirus connection may also explain the dramatic rise in type 1 diabetes in higher-income countries like the U.S. and European countries.
The thinking is that improved hygiene has left babies more vulnerable to assaults from viruses like enterovirus because mothers today pass on fewer protective antibodies than were passed on by past generations of mothers.
If enteroviruses play a big role in type 1 diabetes, the so-called "hygiene hypothesis" could explain why disease rates have not risen in poorer, less industrialized countries, he tells WebMD.
Looking for Other Diabetes Triggers
While enteroviruses may prove to be an important environmental trigger for type 1 diabetes, it is not likely to be the only one, Seattle endocrinologist William Hagopian, MD, PhD, tells WebMD.
Very early exposure to cow’s milk and early exposure to gluten have also been linked to type 1 diabetes in some studies.
Hagopian is leading a study sponsored by the National Institutes of Health that will closely follow a large group of high-risk newborns from the U.S., Finland, Germany, and Sweden through childhood and into early adulthood in an effort to determine if these environmental exposures or others play a role in type 1 diabetes.
“We are going to cast a very large net in an effort to identify the triggers that lead to this disease,” he tells WebMD. “We will be looking at the potential triggers that have been on our radar, and we will also be looking for those we may not know about.” | <urn:uuid:20d6a40a-dc87-4bcd-90f6-fc95d8a2ff5b> | CC-MAIN-2015-48 | http://www.webmd.com/diabetes/news/20110203/cold-virus-may-trigger-type-1-diabetes?page=2 | 2015-12-01T09:41:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-48/segments/1448398466178.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20151124205426-00231-ip-10-71-132-137.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.948843 | 472 |

Focal Sphear earphones measurements can be found by clicking this link.
With the Sphear earphones ($149 USD), Focal has become the first high-end audio company to attempt building a product as good as a Bose model. Yeah, I wrote that to rankle audiophiles a bit -- but regardless of what you think of the sound of Bose headphones, there’s no denying that they’re comfortable, and that’s the part Focal is trying to match. A frequent traveler, I believe that the comfort of headphones and earphones is as important as their sound. Getting deeper into the music you love is what high-quality audio is all about, and you can’t get deep into any music when your earlobes feel as if they’ve been worked over by Manny Pacquiao.
Until recently, the product category of loudspeaker had seen little change outside of relentless tweaking by designers trying to refine its basic capabilities. Now, like almost everything else, it’s been absorbed into the Internet of Things and forced to undergo some reinvention. Most people associate wireless audio with Bluetooth speakers: affordable, portable, decent-sounding (good ones, at least). But in the past few years other options have emerged that can tap your home’s Wi-Fi network to deliver an even better wireless music experience than a typical Bluetooth speaker provides.
Recommending pairs of loudspeakers to audiophiles and to non-audiophiles are two different propositions. It’s analogous to selecting the right bottle of wine to bring to a friend’s house for dinner. If the friend is a wine aficionado, the task becomes a tedious, labor-intensive process that includes trying to remember if she likes red or white, light- or full-bodied, Old World or New World, and so on. In every other circumstance the decision is far easier: $12-$15 USD, cool label, done. Up until 2010 or so, Audioengine’s A2 ($149/pair) and A5 ($349/pair) powered speakers were my go-to suggestions for audiophiles and non-audiophiles alike, and for good reason. The speakers looked good, were easy to set up, and sounded great for the money, with surprising amounts of bass.
Quebec’s Simaudio has been designing and manufacturing audio electronics for the past 35 years. The company began with preamplifiers and power amplifiers, and later, following the demands of the market, added CD players and standalone digital-to-analog converters (DACs). More recently, Simaudio has launched a series of components incorporating their Moon intelligent Network Device (MiND) platform, which enables streaming audio from your computer, network-attached storage (NAS) device, or the Internet. It should come as no surprise, then, that Simaudio has brought their electronics-design experience to the thriving market of headphone audio -- with first their flagship 430HA fully balanced headphone amplifier ($3500 USD; add $800 for DAC option), and now the subject of this review, the more modestly priced Moon Neo 230HAD ($1500 including DAC).
Sennheiser HD 800 S measurements can be found by clicking this link.
It’s not often that most enthusiasts and professional reviewers agree about a set of headphones, but it happened in 2009, when Sennheiser’s model HD 800 ($1399) was introduced. “I don’t love them, but I respect them,” one of my favorite reviewers told me. Most people thought the HD 800s sounded admirably spacious, but lacked sufficient bass and seemed to highlight flaws in recordings. I heard them at a couple of audio shows and came to the same conclusion -- in fact, after hearing so many initial reports saying the same thing, I decided against reviewing them, worrying that I’d have nothing new to add to the conversation.
RBH Sound HP-2 measurements can be found by clicking this link.
With their HP-2 headphones, RBH Sound -- intentionally or otherwise -- makes a bold statement: Nobody gives a damn what your headphones look like, so neither should you. Instead, you should care what they sound like and how comfortable they are.
That is exactly the approach RBH took with the HP-2s. The industrial design is fairly generic, reminiscent of Bose’s model QC25. RBH seems to have invested, in top-notch drivers and comfortable padding, all the money they might have spent creating a new design. The drivers use diaphragms made of beryllium, a metal often used in high-end tweeters because it’s extremely light yet stiff. (It’s also brittle and toxic, which is why manufacturing with it is expensive.) The padding, covered in soft plastic, has the look and feel of what you’d see on headphones four times the HP-2s’ list price of $249 USD.
Pryma 0|1 measurements can be found by clicking this link.
An ideal world would be meritocratic and egalitarian. Appearance wouldn’t matter. What truly counted would be what was inside each of us. Somewhere in the mooted multiverse such a reality probably exists, but it’s not the one we currently inhabit. Here, not only does one’s physical appearance matter, it’s been suggested that more good-looking people will, all else being equal, be perceived as more intelligent, friendly, and competent than the less good-looking. In fact, studies have shown that, on average, the better-looking get hired and promoted more often, and are paid more. Whether that’s fair or unfair, it might behoove me and you to get into better shape, shave regularly, and wear clothes that actually fit.
HiFiMan Edition X measurements can be found by clicking this link.
I can’t believe I’m reviewing $1799 headphones that are considered a step-down model. The HiFiMan Edition X is a less-costly version of HiFiMan’s flagship headphones, the HE1000s ($2999), which I recently reviewed and truly loved. Except for color and materials, the Edition Xes look almost identical to the HE1000s, but they’re intended as a more practical product. Not only do they cost $1200 less, they’re touted as being sensitive enough that any smartphone can drive them.
JBL Everest Elite 700 measurements can be found by clicking this link.
The JBL Everest Elite 700s are the most technologically advanced headphones I’ve tested. I can’t think of a significant feature they don’t have, but the most innovative is TruNote automatic calibration. TruNote uses an internally generated test tone and an internal microphone to evaluate the acoustical effects of your ears, and tunes the Everest Elite 700s’ frequency response to compensate for those effects. It’s basically a headphone version of the auto-calibration technologies, such as Audyssey MultEQ, found in most A/V receivers. This feature was launched earlier this year in the N90Q ($1499.95 USD), from AKG -- which, like JBL, is owned by Harman International.
Klipsch Reference X20i measurements can be found by clicking this link.
When non-audiophiles see something like Klipsch’s new Reference X20i earphones priced above $500 USD, they’ve got to wonder how something so tiny could be worth so much. For that price, you can buy a TV or a digital SLR camera -- something that looks as if it costs $500. But the X20i’s don’t appear to be substantially different from Klipsch’s R6 earphones, which cost only $79. What makes them worth $549 -- nearly seven times as much? | <urn:uuid:96001bff-a7b7-4345-9a90-2b9ab17acb32> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://soundstageexperience.com/index.php/equipment-menu?start=30 | 2017-10-21T17:46:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187824824.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20171021171712-20171021191712-00252.warc.gz | en | 0.928461 | 1,976 |

Columbus-born Carson McCullers Next Featured Author for Oprah
The next title in Oprah Winfreys book of the month club is The Heart is a Lonely Hunter, by Carson McCullers, the Columbus-born author whose childhood home is now a Columbus State University center.
Winfrey made the announcement on her show on Wednesday, propelling the author and her signature book in the national spotlight. Previous books selected by Oprah for the book club have meant a sales and popularity boom almost overnight.
The selection of The Heart is a Lonely Hunter, for Oprahs attention could mean some more attention for Columbus State University's Carson McCullers Center for Writers and Musicians, located in the Smith-McCullers House, Carson McCullers' childhood home, in Columbus.
The Carson McCullers Center for Writers and Musicians is dedicated to preserving the legacy of Carson McCullers, to nurturing American writers and musicians, to educating young people and to fostering the literary and musical life of Columbus, the state of Georgia, and the American South. To that end, the center operates a museum in McCullers' childhood home in Columbus, Georgia and presents educational and cultural programs for the community.

Amazon’s Kindle Fire is an amazing device but some Android applications never make it to the Kindle Store. Here’s a little trick that enables you to download applications from the Google Play Store and transfer them to your Kindle Fire. Several sites will post Android application apk files, but this procedure will get you a copy right from the store, virtually eliminating this risk of viruses or even worse.
WHAT DO YOU NEED?
In order to sideload Android applications on to a Kindle Fire, you will require the following components:
- Kindle Fire
- Android Device (Only requirement is Google Play Store)
- Charging/Data Cable
- The first step required to sideload the applications is to download App Backup & Restore from the Google Play Store onto your Android Device. This application essentially creates a backup of your applications that are currently installed on your Android device, and reveals them from a hidden part of your device. This will then allow you to save this backup onto a micro SD card, or to the cloud if you so wish. Typically, this app is great for keeping your apps safe, in case a minor catastrophe were to occur, such as a device crash. This would allow for you to quickly re-install your previous applications and go right back to where you were before the crash happened.
- The next step is to download Easy Installer application onto your Kindle Fire, which is found on the Amazon app store. This application simply allows you to install .APK files, which are Android applications. This file type is almost like an executable file for Windows or a DMG file for Mac OS X.
- Next, using your Android device open the App Backup & Restore and simply press the backup button. This will move your Android Apps from that hidden location to a public directory.
- Now for probably the hardest step. Both your Android Device and your Kindle Fire need to have USB Mode enabled. USB Mode allows the device sot communicate with a computer via a USB data cable, but most manufacturers will disable this as a factory default setting. This can be achieved by different methods for many devices and if you are unsure about the method for your device, we encourage you to thoroughly read through your devices instruction manual before proceeding.
- For our example, we will be using a device that is currently running Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean). To do this, we go to Settings, Wireless and Networks and choose USB Utilities and tap Connect Storage to PC. Now you would take your data cable, and connect your Android device into your computer. A notification should appear, asking you whether you would like to turn on USB Storage, this is where you would press “Turn on USB Storage”.
- Now on your computer, navigate to your newly connected Android device using Windows Explorer. As you are navigating through your device, you are looking for a folder named “App_Backup_Restore”. In this file you will find all the applications that are backed-up from your Android Device. Simply, copy these files and paste them to another folder on your computer. At this point you can press “Turn off USB Storage” and remove the USB cable from the Android device.
- Using your Kindle Fire, plug your USB cable into the device, the same way as you previously did for your Android device. Once your Kindle Fire is connected, drag down your notification bar so that you can go to More, Device, and tap Allow Installation from Unknown Sources. This will mount the Kindle Fire so that you can access the files in the file system of your Kindle Fire.
- In Windows Explorer you should see Kindle showing up as an external drive. Once opened, you will see all of the files that are accessible in the root directory of the Kindle Fire. It is at this point that you would copy your applications that you previously saved from your Android device, and paste onto your Kindle Fire. If you wish, you can remove your USB cable from the Kindle Fire.
- Next, open the Easy Installer application on your Kindle Fire. When you have this application open you will find all the available applications that you can now install onto your Kindle Fire that you previously could not. It is as simple as pressing “Install” and watching as your applications are installed onto your Kindle Fire.
By following a simple set of instructions, it is relatively simple to load almost any Android application onto your Kindle Fire. If you have any questions or are looking for assistance in this process, we encourage you to click on the link below and post your situation on our forums.

Marion Thurman Pension Letter, contributed by Janet K.
[Comment by Janet K. Hawkins: The following letter appeared in the
Civil War pension file of Marion Thurman, Crittenden County, Kentucky.
(claim no. 450609). Thurman was a private in Co. A, 8th Reg. U.S.
Colored Volunteer Artillery (Heavy). The letter is interesting because
it sheds light on the state of race relations in western Kentucky in
1908, a year filled with violence.]
[Comment by Janet K. Hawkins: Note that the letter was written by
Thurman, himself, a former slave who became a school teacher. I have
retained the original punctuation and spelling. Such a degree of
literacy was uncommon in rural western Kentucky in the late 1800s-early
1900s, except among upper-class whites, who often attended college in
Lexington, Louisville, or in the large northern cities such as
Philadelphia. It would be interesting to learn where and when Thurman
received his education, especially since he seems to have begun teaching
shortly after his return from the war.]

Marion Ky, Oct 9, 1908
To: Commissioner of Pensions, Washington, D.C.
Dear Sir, I return herewith my order for medical examination. I cannot
go to Kuttawa. It is impossible for me to make the trip without staying
all night there and in the condition of affairs I am afraid to do that.
The whole surrounding country has been terrorized by night riders and
they seem to have a particular aversion to colored people. Several
colored people here have been killed by them in that immediate vicinity
in the last few months. Please send me before some other board. I will
go before any other board that I have the ability or means to reach,
just so you don't send me into the night rider section. Very
respectfully Marion Thurman Claim No. 450609, Co. A-8 USCH. Art
[Comment by Janet K. Hawkins: Kuttawa was located in neighboring Lyon
County, Kentucky, approximately 20 miles from Marion]. | <urn:uuid:cd8bb076-cb33-41b2-88e2-c9fc4c3620d9> | CC-MAIN-2018-05 | http://westernkyhistory.org/crittenden/marionthurmanpensionletter.html | 2018-01-20T05:02:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-05/segments/1516084889325.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20180120043530-20180120063530-00051.warc.gz | en | 0.958291 | 486 |

"Smell this one." Luke instructed, putting the perfume under my nose; We were in an airport on our way to Japan, I was keeping an eye on the boarding signs as I didn't want a repeat of our first airport experience. We were going to "JAPAN!" Michael squealed, waving a little flag; he was excited.
The boys had never been to Japan before and neither had I, it was going to be a new experience.
We boarded a normal plane (this time) on time (this time) and I was placed next to Calum who gazed out of the window wistfully. "How come Tilly couldn't come?"
"She had to take care of some things back home." He said, sighing dramatically.
"You'll live." I said, plopping in my headphones.
"Will I?" Calum asked, but I had already turned on my music.
"JAPAN! JAPAN! JAPAN!" The boys shouted as we ran down the terminal, we'd been told that there would be fans waiting to greet us so the guys were eager to see them.
When we rounded the corner we were met with a sea of fans...actually like five seas. They were all waiting patiently behind a rope but when they saw the band screams erupted.
All four boys had looks of delight on their face as they went from to fan to fan, I watched them, loving every minute of it.
"Good morning." I greeted, as four very jet lagged boys joined me and their tour manager for breakfast in our hotel, which was amazing by the way.
They all sat around us and I continued sipping on my coffee. "So the plan for today is for you guys to stay inside the hotel, get some rest for the big show tomorrow."
I sat there silently screaming, how could he expect us to stay inside all day?! We were in Japan!
Disappointingly all the guys seemed to silently agree and they went off to the buffet table. "I'll be off then." Gary, the tour manager stated, getting up from his seat, "Take care of them."
I waved a goodbye just as the boys returned. "So Netflix all day it is, I guess"
"Ahh Nina so naive." Calum tutted teasingly.
"What?" I asked.
"We're not staying here." Luke explained.
"Gary can't expect us to stay in a hotel all day while we are in Japan!" Ashton added.
Michael got up, suddenly a lot less sleepy then he had previously looked, "Lets go out."
"To the arcade!" Luke announced leading the way, or the way he thought it was.
Me and Michael hung back a little bit, walking at a leisurely place, "It really is beautiful." I breathed.
"Yeah." Michael agreed, his eyes fluttering hesitantly.
"We should go in there!" I shouted, while also gasping, we were walking past a park with the biggest cherry blossom trees that I had ever seen, in full bloom.
Michael glanced at the others who were way ahead then back at me, the corners of his mouth titled up slightly, "Okay." He quickly, took my hand and pulled me in the opposite direction to the entrance of the park.
He led me under a tree and sprawled on the ground, causing his snapback to topple off. His hair flopped to the side and he began catching the falling blossoms with his sweater sleeves pulled right around his hands.
I watched for a minute then forced myself to sit beside him, scared he'd notice me staring I grabbed his fallen hat and leant in to place it back on his head.
I put it over his hair and was about to fasten it when Michael clutched my arms, he drew me closer to him and his eyes searched mine.
We stared back at each other and Michael leaned in slightly, then stopped.
Finally, with the cherry blossoms falling peacefully around us he closed the gap and brought his mouth gently to mine.

Available now: The exceptional half-sister to IN HER TIME!
TRIPLE CROWN went the extra mile on the third day of the Inglis Classic Sale at the Riverside Stables at Warwick Farm, securing Lot 434 – a ripper of a filly by Olympic Glory, and a half-sister to three-time Group 2 winning filly IN HER TIME – for $210,000.
In Her Time proved one of the most progressive mares of 2017, winning back to back Group 2 races with the Breeders’ Classic and Millie Fox Stakes in February and, after narrowly missing out on a start for The $10 Million Everest in October, the mare showed slot owners what they had missed out on when she took the Everest consolation race, The Sydney Stakes, on October 14. And the year almost ended with Group 1 glory for the mare, who went down by just a head in the Group 1 Manikato Stakes on October 27.
Out of the Zeditave mare HELL IT’S HOT, who was a two-time winner, including one as a two-year-old, the star-studded pedigree page is clearly evident within the make-up of this filly who oozes class and athleticism. Hell It’s Hot is a half-sister to no less than three Stakes winners, including Group 3 winner HOT AS HELL.
The CHOISIR / ZEDITAVE cross is proven to work and it boasts a 22% Stakes winners/runners ratio, with Group 3 winner DIAMOND EARTH a star performer on the cross.
OLYMPIC GLORY has proven one of the highlights of the sales ring this year, with his progeny catching the eye of several good judges in the breeding world, selling for up to $600,000, with this his most expensive filly to pass through the ring so far.
A three and a quarter length winner at Royal Ascot in the Group 1 Queen Elizabeth Stakes, Olympic Glory won no less than four Group 1’s during a glittering career, including the Prix Jean Luc Lagarde as a 2YO.
Olympic Glory looks set to be a sire making headlines, and this filly is the cream of his crop.

UniversalDr. Dre is everywhere right now, especially with his N.W.A biopic Straight Outta Compton opening this Friday. The hip-hop mogul, alongside Ice Cube, graces the cover of Rollingstone’s last issue, in which he opens up about his music and controversies.
Despite releasing his Compton album last week, fans are still wondering why he isn’t releasing his long-awaited Detox LP.
“I had between 20 and 40 songs for Detox, and I just couldn’t feel it,” Dre tells the mag. “Usually I can hear the sequence of an album as I’m going, but I wasn’t able to do that. I wasn’t feeling it in my gut. So I really thought I was done being an artist.”
For those who have gotten an advanced viewing of the biopic, critics have also called out Dre for seemingly glazing over his physical altercations with women, include the 1991 incident when he allegedly assaulted TV host Dee Barnes, as well as rumors that he abused his former girlfriend, the singer Michel’le.
“I made some fucking horrible mistakes in my life,” says Dre. “I was young, f**king stupid. I would say all the allegations aren’t true — some of them are. Those are some of the things that I would like to take back. It was really f**ked up. But I paid for those mistakes, and there’s no way in hell that I will ever make another mistake like that again.”

You'd think that a huge mansion once owned by Katy Perry would be catnip to real estate buyers in Los Angeles, but she's having a heckuva time trying to unload the property.
Forbes reports that the home in the Hollywood Hills, which Katy purchased jointly with her ex-husband Russell Brand but never lived in, has just had its price dropped to $5.88 million. It was previously listed at $6.495 million; before that, it was $6.925 million. So why isn't anyone buying?
Forbes reports that first of all, Katy wants the money in cash, and interested buyers haven't been able to get their resources together to make that happen. The most recent offer fell through because of that, according to the listing agent.
In addition, the listing agent tells Forbes that the home needs to be "brought up to date with today's lifestyle." Not only that, there's a problem with the actual land the house is on: topsoil from a neighbor's home slipped onto the property, and the whole thing needs to be sculpted and designed.
The seven-bedroom, 11-bathroom home features a two-story entryway and two-story living room with views of the L.A. skyline to the ocean, a pool with a waterfall , a guest house, studio and caretakers apartment. But, says the listing agent, Katy has no interest in retaining the property. "Life took a turn, and there was no looking back,” he adds.

How do these changes affect the DSO/PC tax structures you have in place?
In short, it depends….
Highlights of the Tax Changes
The most significant changes are as follows:
1) Corporate tax rates for Personal Service Corporations (PSC’s) and C Corporations were lowered from 35% to 21%.
2) The top individual tax rate was lowered from 39% to 37%.
3) A new deduction was created for pass through entities equal to 20% of qualified business income.
4) For companies with gross revenues greater than $25 million dollars, the deduction for business interest is now limited to 30% of EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization).
Current Tax Structures
The tax structures of dental practices (PC’s) range from PC’s being taxed as Partnerships to S Corporations and Personal Service Corporations.
Entities that are structured as S Corporations and Partnerships are considered pass through entities. As a result the entity’s owners are taxed on the PC’s profits or losses, regardless of whether profits are distributed, on their individual returns.
Entities that are taxed as PSC’s incur their own tax at a corporate rate of 35%.
In the event that the PSC distributes profits to its owners, the owners would then be taxed on the so called dividend at a rate of 23.8%. This is where the term “double taxation” comes from.
Thus under the old law, owners of pass through entities were taxed at 39% and owners of PSC’s were taxed at an effective rate of 50.5%.
Tax rates for owners under the new law
Pass-through Entities 37.00%
Tax on the Corporation 21.00%
Dividends Received (Net of Corporate Tax) 18.80
New Tax Rate 39.80%
Am I eligible for the 20% deduction?
It is worth noting that the 20% deduction for pass through entities is not available for dental practices and potentially service businesses, i.e. management companies, if the owner’s individual taxable incomes exceed a range from $315,000 to $415,000.
In those situations where the owners taxable incomes fall within the range above, it may behoove the PC to remain a pass through entity.
What is the best type of entity for me?
To determine the optimal entity type under the new tax law system, consider the following:
A. Will you be able to receive a 20% deduction against the pass through income, i.e. will your taxable income be between $315,000- $415,000.
B. How much of the profits of the practice will be distributed over the next 3-5 years? | <urn:uuid:c4d0fa1e-0efe-409f-a5ad-30243e8e32a8> | CC-MAIN-2020-45 | https://www.dsocpas.com/tax-reform-changes-impacting-dsos/ | 2020-10-26T07:43:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-45/segments/1603107890586.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20201026061044-20201026091044-00561.warc.gz | en | 0.961476 | 584 |
Five Coolest wearable technologies being used in London Olympics
Summer Olympics 2012 are going faster, further and higher in London and everyone is enjoying the athletic extravaganza. Medals are reigning in the British Empire but the difference between a gold and silver is somewhere hiding in technology. There are many wearable technologies being adorned by athletes from various countries that are giving them that edge they need to take home the medals. While you wonder what these could be, we have lined in for you 5 coolest wearable technologies that athletes are using to enhance their performance (legally) in the London Olympics.
Speedo FastSkin3 Swimsuit
Speedo’s new shark-inspired swimsuit comprising a cap, goggles and a suit dubbed the Fastskin3 redistributes flow of water around the swimmer wearing it. The suit is making appearance at the Olympics this year – Michael Phelps and the U.K.’s Rebecca Adlington are among the swimmers that will be seen swimming in the Fastskin3. The swimsuit compresses against the body to reduce drag and increase blood flow thus increasing the wearer’s speed by estimated 0.11 percent.
Nike Pro Turbospeed
Besides swimming routines track events have the most fan following, everyone wants to see the 100m dash or a 10,000m enduring run. Thus, Nike has developed the Pro Turbospeed – its swiftest and most sustainable track apparel made after 1,000 hours of wind tunnel testing and advice for some of the fastest athletes around. Made from recycled plastic bottles the high-tech track uniform – the lightweight Nike Pro Turbospeed feature zoned aerodynamics, zero distraction and makes the wearer some 0.023 seconds faster than the flock.
Physilog III inertial sensor system
In swimming victory is decided on 10th of a seconds difference, thus to facilitate coaches to better understand and train swimmers to beat the clock and improve their timing, Swiss scientists have created a waterproof inertial sensor system that helps coaches analyze kinematics and crucial data from the swimmers movement in water. Dubbed Physilog III the inertial sensor can be sewn into swimmers suit with locators attached to the legs, head, hands and abdomen to record movement. The Physilog III with accelerometer and 3D gyroscope easily collects data on swimmer’s time, speed, acceleration and instant velocity on his turn from the side wall – swiftness here is the most vital, because the speed and effectiveness with which the swimmer turns can be the difference in gold and silver.
Nike GS football boot
Suits and sensors can be beneficial but a footballer a lot depends on his shoes. Keeping this in mind Nike has created the lightest, fastest and most environmentally friendly shoes ever. Christened the Nike GS football boot, the shoes are made using recycled material like recycled plastic, castor beans, and plastic bottles and polyester. Weighing about 160 grams the Nike GS football boot promise lightweight performance and high speed control in the game. In addition the Olympians you will also have a chance to own the pair of Nike GS cleats for $300.
British gymnasts will rarely make a mistake in their routine, thanks to a new electric training suit developed by researchers at Birmingham City University to let British athletes perform with perfect precision on the grand stage. The MotivePro suit that can be calibrated to the need of every individual athlete has vibrator-motor laden sensors that are attached to the athlete’s joints. Sensors relay information in real time to a computer which emits them as a slight vibration to athletes who can immediately correct their routine when they sense they are not performing correctly. | <urn:uuid:0676b1e9-ccab-4b85-a36e-00183a584f0a> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://www.atcrux.com/five-coolest-wearable-technologies-being-used-in-london-olympics/ | 2023-12-01T19:20:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100304.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20231201183432-20231201213432-00764.warc.gz | en | 0.959422 | 752 |
A whopping ten million people have been tuning into BBC1’s Bodyguard each Sunday – and counter-terrorism police are not passing up the chance to use the show’s popularity as an opportunity to advertise jobs in the force.
The recruitment drive on Twitter aims to encourage viewers inspired by Police Sergeant David Budd, played by Richard Madden, to apply for roles in anti-terrorism units.

Using the drama’s hashtag while its nail-biting extended finale aired from 9pm on Sunday night, the Counter Terrorism Policing UK account tweeted: “Are you interested in joining Counter Terrorism Policing? Hear from some real-life officers and find out more about their roles. #Bodyguard”
Are you interested in joining Counter Terrorism Policing? Hear from some real-life officers and find out more about their roles. ⬇#Bodyguard
— Counter Terrorism Policing UK (@TerrorismPolice) September 23, 2018
It’s worth noting that the jobs advertised do not necessarily put employees in the same sorts of life-threatening situations as Madden’s character, as the vacancies are for more desk-based roles including “digital specialist” and “business analyst”.
Several of the job descriptions do say, however, that “if the worst happens and an attack occurs, you’ll be helping to bring the perpetrators to justice”.
Given the modern rise of terror plots devised online, the recruitment drive aims to attract tech-savvy staff who can help to thwart attacks in the UK.
Senior national co-ordinator for Counter Terrorism Policing, Dean Haydon, told The Times: “If we’re capturing the imagination of people who might not have considered a career in policing, that’s a great step forward.
“Of course we need more detectives and more armed officers, similar to those in the programme. But just as important are those with the technical knowledge and skills to exploit terrorists’ digital devices for crucial evidence gathering.” | <urn:uuid:4e8887b0-15a8-4e16-9dfc-9af5dcdb3299> | CC-MAIN-2021-25 | https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/drama/bodyguard-counter-terrorism-police-are-using-bbcs-bodyguard-to-boost-recruitment/ | 2021-06-12T12:41:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-25/segments/1623487582767.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20210612103920-20210612133920-00469.warc.gz | en | 0.927581 | 471 |
The early days of the summer of 2016 have been bitter ones. Orlando, Baton Rouge, St. Paul, Dallas, Nice, Baghdad and Istanbul—the bloody streets of these cities tell the story. Immigrants vilified, African-American men murdered, and LGBT people massacred. From the campaign trail to angry Twitter feeds, people driven by intolerance, xenophobia, misogyny and racism have seized the day.
Rarely, in recent decades, have I witnessed such despair. I have not felt so at odds with the world as it is since my youth in apartheid South Africa, where the cruelties of racism dominated life.
Yet, I remain hopeful. As the Indian novelist and human rights activist Arundhati Roy put it, “Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing.”
Despite the cacophony of hate, I hear that new world breathing as I join with others around the globe to build the kind of world we want to live in. An inclusive world inspired by respect for every person. A world anchored by human rights in which we celebrate our differences, deepen democracy and pursue justice.
I am especially hopeful this week, as I am spending my days with more than 120 of my colleagues from American Jewish World Service (AJWS)’s offices and outposts throughout the United States and around the world, who have gathered here in New York to renew our ties to one another, our work and our mission.
We are Jewish, Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Buddhist and Jain. We are spiritual, religious and secular. We are American, African, Caribbean and Asian. We are straight, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex. We are proud of who we are. We appreciate one another. And we share a vision for a world made whole by each of us caring for the other. We are committed to working together across cultures and continents to repair our broken world.
To give you a picture of our diverse team and glimpse of the world we are building, I’d like to introduce you to six wonderful members of the AJWS family from around the world:
- Praneeta, our country director in India, spends her days supporting Indian communities that are striving to empower girls and young women to end the tradition of child marriage, to stay in school, and to change societal norms that prevent women from shaping their lives as they see fit.
- Ah Noh, from Burma, works with ethnic minority groups that have faced vicious brutality at the hands of the Burmese government. Ah Noh—herself a member of the Kachin ethnic group and a Christian—stands with Burma’s Muslim minority, the Rohingya, which has suffered near-genocidal persecution in recent years.
- Timi, our director of government affairs in Washington D.C., urges our policymakers to put the power and the purse of the American government behind global efforts to reduce poverty and advance human rights.
- Caroline, from Uganda, works in solidarity with LGBT people in her country who face ostracism, violence and even death simply because of who they are and whom they love.
- Boumba, from Haiti, supports Dominicans of Haitian descent whose citizenship rights have been stripped away by the top court of the Dominican Republic and who face the constant threat of xenophobic violence and deportation.
- And finally, Barbara, our board member and past board chair, a feisty Jewish feminist who is proud to stand as a Jewish woman with AJWS and others around the world who are pursuing justice.
As Jewish teachers have taught for centuries, we have the power to repair the broken world in which we live. Through our individual actions and those we undertake together, we can turn hate into love and war into peace. And while there are many reasons to despair, we are building the world we want to live in. And we are listening, and we can hear her breathe.

⦿ CUSTOMARY LAW IS PART OF NIGERIAN LAWS – PROOF
The cases cited by learned Counsel for the parties namely Esugbayi Eleko v Officer Administrating the Government of Nigeria; In Re Whyte; Cole v Cole; Nwokoro v Onuma; Buhar of Kaligeri v Bornu Native Authority; Laoye v Oyetunde, deal with elementary principles of our customary law jurisprudence to wit that customary laws are part of the body of laws to be applied by the Court, the application of customary laws subject to the doctrine of repugnance, the essential ingredients of proof and incidents of customary laws. – Nwokedi JSC.
⦿ DOCTRINE OF REPUGNANCY TO FINE TUNE CUSTOMARY LAW
As our society advances, they are more removed from its pristine social ecology. They meet situations which were inconceivable at the time they took root. The doctrine of repugnancy in my view affords the courts the opportunity for fine tuning customary laws to meet changed social conditions where necessary, more especially as there is no forum for repealing or amending customary laws. I do not intend to be understood as holding that the Courts are there to enact customary laws. When however customary law is confronted by a novel situation, the courts have to consider its applicability under existing social environment. – Nwokedi JSC.
⦿ ESSENCE OF FORMULATION OF ISSUES – APPEAL SHOULD BE ARGUED ON ISSUES
Before considering the arguments of counsel in this appeal, I consider it a matter of cardinal importance to remind counsel of the often made errors in their argument of returning to the grounds of appeal filed after formulating issues for determination based on the grounds of appeal. All arguments in the appeal after formulation of issues should be based on the issues for determination as formulated. See Adelaja v Fanoiki (1990) 2 NWLR (Part 131) 137. Stricto sensu, no reference thereafter ought to be made to the grounds of appeal filed. The essence of the formulation of issues is to narrow the relevant issues in dispute within those so formulated Attorney-General Bendel State v Aidegun (1989) 4 NWLR (Part 118) 646. Hence as the issues arise from the grounds and may and usually encompass a number of grounds of appeal, it is sufficient to argue the appeal on the issues for determination formulated. See Ogbunyinya v Okudo (No.2)(1990) 4 NWLR (Part 146) 551 SC. The approach adopted by counsel in this appeal by arguing the appeal on the grounds rather than on the issues formulated, suggests that sufficient attention was not paid to the formulation of the issues for determination. Egbe v Alhaji (1990) 1 NWLR (Part 128) 546. – Karibe-Whyte JSC.
⦿ CUSTOMARY LAW IS A QUESTION OF FACT TO BE PROVED
It is well settled that customary law is a question of fact to be proved by evidence. See Section 14 of Evidence Law. Hence a party who alleges the existence of a particular custom must adduce sufficient evidence in support and to establish its existence to the satisfaction of the court. See Inyang v Ita (1929) 9 NLR 84. But there comes a time when by frequent litigation in the courts, a point of customary law has been sufficiently ruled upon, the courts will no longer require proof, and would be prepared to take judicial notice of it. See Angu v Attah, PC 74, 28, 43; Buraimo v Gbamgboye (1940) 15 NLR 139; Giwa v Erimolokun (1961) 1 All NLR 294, 1 SCNLR 337. The burden is on the defendants to establish the custom they rely upon for their defence. Balogun v Labiran (1988) 3 NWLR (Part 80) 66. Indeed only a single decision, sufficiently cogent and authoritative would be sufficient – Larinde v Afiko (1940) 6 WACA 108, but see Cole v Akinyele (1960) 5 FSC 84; (1960) SCNLR 192; Folami & others v Cole & others (1990) 2 NWLR (Part 133) 445. – Karibe-Whyte JSC.
⦿ ISSUE CANVASSED BELOW CAN BE DECIDED BY SUPREME COURT EVEN IF NOT APPEALED
There is however an aspect which offends against the provisions of our Constitution relating to the guaranteed freedom of association. There is no ground of appeal before us by the appellant or a cross-appeal by the respondent covering this point. However, the issue was canvassed in the court below. Unfortunately, the court below expressed no opinion on it. This Court can in exercise of its powers under Section 22 of the Supreme Court Act, Cap. 424 decide the issue. – Karibe-Whyte JSC.
⦿ THEORY OF THE RULE OF LAW VIS-A-VIS CUSTOMARY LAW – PECULIARITY OF NIGERIAN SITUATION
The theory of the rule of law which is now commonly canvassed and resorted to by politicians, journalists, and even lawyers to describe innominate situations seems to me much wider than the formulation of the Rule by Dicey in the late 18th century. It is different from the rule familiar to Constitutional lawyers. The principles in the rule as stated by Dicey are three. The first is the absolute supremacy of law as opposed to the exercise of arbitrary power. The second is the equality of all persons before the law. The third is that the constitution is the result of the ordinary law of the land as interpreted by the courts. It is important to bear in mind that Dicey formulated the rule of law with respect to the unwritten Constitution of England, and in relation to the nature and content of English law – common law and statutory. There is no doubt he had in mind the application of democratic principles of the Westminster style and the impartial enforcement of the laws of England. The rules enunciated by Dicey were formulated in contrast with the situation in foreign countries. Our circumstances in this country are not identical. They are peculiar. We have adopted English law as the general law. We did not abolish all our own laws and customs which govern our ways of life in many important respects. We have also adopted the principles of democracy as recognised in West European countries. Undoubtedly, these principles adopted must be applied with necessary modification and adaptation within the context of the laws adopted, recognised and applicable in our communities. Of course where any such laws are incompatible with our democratic values, they are by our Constitution to be rejected. Hence the Court of Appeal ought to have shown which of the rules of law or its variant is inconsistent with the custom being rejected. The custom applies uniformly only to defaulting members of the Age grade society. It is the law as accepted by them. It is, on the evidence, the law recognised by the community. – Karibe-Whyte JSC.
⦿ FREEDOM OF CHOICE IS CONSTITUTIONAL – ONE CANNOT BE FORCED TO ASSOCIATE
nobody can be compelled to associate with other persons against his will. Our Constitution guarantees every citizen that freedom of choice. Accordingly any purported drafting of any person into an association against his will even if by operation of customary law is in conflict with the provisions of Section 26(1) of the Constitution, 1963 and is void. – Karibe-Whyte JSC.

⦿ FOR THE RESPONDENT

➥ CASE HISTORY
The evidence led shows that the defendants/appellants invaded the premises of the respondent in Aba, and seized and carried away his butterfly sewing machine. The respondent is a tailor by trade. The reasons for the invasion and seizure, according to the appellants, were that the appellants and the respondent were members of the Umunkalu age grade in their village. The respondent was grouped under the age grade. The age grade had undertaken to build a health centre for the village and had levied its members for the project. The respondent refused or neglected to pay up his levy of N109. The appellants, contended, that the grouping of persons into age grade was a custom of their village, that the age grade levying its members financial contributions for their development project was also a custom of the village; that compulsory membership of an age grade was equally a custom of their people. The respondent was therefore bound to pay the levy. The respondent, on the other hand, contended that he was not averse to payment of levies for community development if called upon by the community. He infact tendered Exhibit ‘B’, ‘B1’, ‘B2’, ‘B3’, ‘B4’, ‘B5′ to show that he had paid such’ levies. As regards the levy ordered by the Umunkalu age group of Amankalu Alayi, he contended that he was not a member of the age group and did not want to associate with the group. He admitted that he was grouped under the Umunkalu age grade as has been their custom but that he refused to join the association of the age group. When in 1975 he received Exhibit ‘C’, signed by the second defendant/appellant as their “Organising Secretary”, inviting him to attend the inauguration of a “new age group in Amankalu Alayi comprising of young talented patriotic men” he declined to attend the function. He contended that he was not a member of this new age group which decided to build a health centre for the community. His refusal to associate with the group was based on his religious principles. Not being a member of the said group, he was not subject to the levy of the group. The appellants therefore had no business seizing his sewing machine in order to force him to pay their levy.
The appellants and the respondents are all from Amankalu Alayi – a village tucked away somewhere in Imo State and now in the area recently constituted as Abia State. The parties are however all resident in Aba. The plaintiff/respondent commenced the suit in the Chief Magistrate Court, Aba, on 10 August 1978. He claimed against the defendants/appellants for a sum of N2000
The learned Chief Magistrate considered two questions pertaining to his decision. The first was “(1) whether there was a custom that compels a citizen to join an age group whether he likes or not, and if there is such a custom in Amankalu Alayi, whether such a custom is lawful or has acquired the force of law” and the second is “whether the respondent was in fact a member of the Umunkalu Age Group?”. In answer to the first question, the learned Chief Magistrate found that the custom that compelled every person to join an age group whether he likes it or not did not exist. He further held that “a custom which deprives a citizen a free choice of association runs contrary to Section 37 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and therefore cannot acquire the force of law”. The learned Chief Magistrate further found as a fact, that the respondent was not a member of the Umunkalu age group of the appellants and was not therefore bound by the decisions of the group. He ordered the return of the respondent’s sewing machine or its value of N115. He further awarded the respondent the special damages of N740 and general damages of N200, with costs assessed and fixed at N100.
Dissatisfied, the appellants appealed to the High Court. The High Court allowed the Appeal. The Court of Appeal allowed the appeal. This is a further appeal by the Defendant/Respondent.
➥ ISSUE(S) & RESOLUTION
[APPEAL: DISMISSED, with N1,000 COST]
I. Whether a membership of the age group association is compulsory, and if so, whether the respondent who objected to joining such an association on religious grounds may be compelled to do so or be deemed to be a member willy-nilly?
RULING: IN RESPONDENT’S FAVOUR.
A. From the above it is quite clear that the plaintiff/respondent was not bound to join the Umunkalu age group in particular. He could, if he had wanted, have opted for another. It is also quite clear that his objection is based on religious grounds. It is obvious that the defendants are, as if it were, forcibly inducting him to their age group association. There was abundant evidence to show that the plaintiff/respondent was not a member of the association, did not desire to be a member and that his presumed membership was forced on him by the defendants.
The learned trial Chief Magistrate found as follows:- “I find as a fact that the plaintiff is not and has never been a member of the Umunkalu age group of Amankalu Alayi. If he had been a member, then he is bound by the decisions of the group and is liable to have his goods seized in default of payment of levies decided upon the group. But since he is not a member, the defendants have no legal right and power to compel him to have one or seize his goods for non-payment of levies the decision for the collection of which he was not a party.”
This finding of fact was not faulted by the learned Judge and the Court of Appeal.
B. The learned Judge’s opinion and findings have been above reproduced. A careful reading of the said excerpt, I think, with the greatest respect, shows that the learned Judge missed the point in issue. The village health centre was not a requisition of the community. Umunkalu age grouped association offered to build one for the community through contributions by its members only and not by every member of the community. The project would benefit the community but it was not undertaken by the community, nor was there evidence that it was requisitioned by the community. It was a gratuitous offer of the age group. The question whether the respondent was a member of the age group association or not, was still unanswered by the learned Judge of the High Court. Much as one would welcome development projects in the community there must be caution to ensure that the fundamental rights of a citizen are not trampled upon by popular enthusiasm. These rights have been enshrined in legislation, that is, the Constitution, which enjoys superiority over local custom. Freedom of association and of religion are enshrined in Sections 24(1) and 26(1) of the 1963 Constitution as amended respectively which is applicable in this instance.
II. The second question to be answered is if the questions in the first part above are all answered in the affirmative, would the issue of self-help in recovering levies from defaulting members, namely, seizure of their chattel, wherever they may be in Nigeria, such that the court may countenance?
RULING: IN RESPONDENT’S FAVOUR.
A. There is a disputed claim between the respondent and the appellants. The appellants cannot be the plaintiffs, Judges and enforcers all at the same time. From the testimony of the respondent and his witnesses, it is obvious that all members of the religious sect who refused to join any age group association could be subjected to the same treatment. A situation where a member of the community is not given a chance for a fair trial in his dispute is certainly against public policy, equity and good conscience.
➥ MISCELLANEOUS POINTS
✓ PER Karibe-Whyte JSC (concurring but with different reasoning):
➥ I do not think it could be sincerely argued that the concession by a party that his property be seized pending his payment of fine due from him for failure in the discharge of his obligations to his association, is repugnant to natural justice. It is also common prudence that men are better able and content to bear the burdens which they themselves have taken up, than those imposed upon them. The concept of volenti non fit injuria is clearly apposite to situations like this. In my view expressed above, I hold that the custom of seizing the property of members of the Umunkalu Age grade in the circumstances stated in this judgment is not contrary to the rule of law. The case of the plaintiff in this case is completely different. This is because plaintiff has not been shown to be a member of their Umunkalu Age grade Association, and can therefore not be subject to disadvantages of membership by consent.
➥ The facts of this case have been fully stated. What resulted in the litigation is the exercise by the Umunkalu Age grade Association of the right at customary law over its members. Plaintiff who is not a member of the association took the members of the Association to court in exercise of his right under the Constitution. The defendants were entitled to plead all legal and equitable defences available to them. Their defences cannot be regarded as usurpation of the functions of the court. The custom pleaded was not exercised when the matter was already in court. It was the cause of the action being instituted against the defendants. I hold the view that the decision of Governor of Lagos State v Ojukwu (supra) is not applicable.

⦿ SELF-HELP IS FORBIDDEN – FOLLOWING DUE PROCESS OF LAW – REGAINING POSSESSION
Oputa, JSC in his judgment in Ojukwu’s case (1986) 17 NSCC 304 at 322 referred to Lord Denning’s dicta in the case of Agbor v. Metropolitan Police Commissioner (1969) 1 WLR 703 at page 707 where the learned Lord Justice stated that:- “The plain fact here is that Mr & Mrs Agbor claim as of right to be entitled to possession of the ground floor of this house. They occupied it on February 4. They entered by stealth. They used a key that had been left behind. But they did it under a claim of right. It may be that they had no such right as they claimed. But, even so, the proper way to evict her was by application to the courts of law. No one is entitled to take possession of premises by a strong hand or with a multitude of people. That has been forbidden ever since the Statute of Richard II against forcible entry. This applies to the police as much as to anyone else. It applies to the government departments also. And to the Nigerian High Commission. If they are entitled to possession, they must regain it by due process of law. They must not take the law into their own hands. They must apply to the courts for possession and act only on the authority of the courts.”

A 5ft piece of landing gear that is believed to be part of one of the aircraft used in the September 11 attacks in 2001 has been found near the World Trade Centre site.
The rusted piece of landing gear was found wedged between a luxury apartment building and a mosque site. Police confirmed that the twisted metal part has cables and levers and a Boeing identification number.
It is believed that the part came from one of the hijacked jet airliners and somehow ended up wedged in the 18in-wide space between the two buildings.

The nomenclature of the islands is very curious and attractive.We are going to show you the curiosities of the demonym of Tenerife and its history.
Tenerife is one of the eight Canary Islands that make up the archipelago located in the southwest of Spain and northwest of Africa, off the coast of Morocco. The demonym of Tenerife is tinerfeño or tinerfeña, although the term chicharrero or chicharrera is widespread in popular culture, which we will explain later in this article.
The origin of these names and this denomination of the island is not entirely clear and has gone through many phases depending on the cultures that have visited and populated it. In this article we are going to take historical references from the website genticiliode.net to learn about the different stages that Tenerife has gone through in terms of its nomenclature.
The origins of the demonym of Tenerife
The Guanches are the first settlers of the island of Tenerife, they knew their territory as Achined. This word has two possible meanings, “to rumble”, because of the constant volcanic sounds of the island, or “my land”, an affectionate nickname. The Guanche culture is largely a mystery to researchers.
The ancient Romans were another people who knew and mapped the Canary Islands. They called Tenerife Nivaria or Ninguaria. This is linked to the perennial snow that could be seen on the peak of Mount Teide and which was a relevant element in relation to the rest of the islands of the archipelago.
Another later term linked to Tenerife was Ínsula del Infierno, a rather unfortunate name that appeared on some 15th century portulan charts. We disagree, as Tenerife is a true paradise on earth.
Finally, the word that was established as definitive was Tenerife, a term that comes from the neighbouring island of La Palma. The Benahorites, the people who inhabited La Palma before the conquest, called the island: Blanca Montaña (Tener Ife). Once again, snow is the predominant element in the naming of our territory. Moreover, the last Guanche leader during the conquest was Tinerfe, which seems to have decided the question in favour of the current name.
The term “chicharrero
“Chicharrero” is a derogatory term used to refer to the inhabitants of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. The laguneros, the former capital of the island, established this term to refer to their poor fishermen neighbours in the port city of Santa Cruz. The “chicharro” is a cheap fish and is eaten by humble consumers.
Over the years, the capital changed location. The maritime boom of the city of Santa Cruz represented constant growth and it became necessary to keep the public institutions close to the key element of the island, the maritime trade. The people of Santa Cruz adopted the term “chicharreros” with derision and pride.
Today, it has become commonplace both inside and outside the islands to define all Tenerife residents by this term. Even the Royal Academy of the Spanish Language recognises this fact.
Other names from the Canary Islands
There are many gentilicios with derision on the islands, although only a few of them have survived in recent decades. All of them have adopted a much kinder tone than in their initial origin and have become identified with their places of origin.
Some relevant examples are conejero (‘from Lanzarote’), culeto (‘from Agaete’, GC), bagañete (‘from Tazacorte’, LP), chalanguero (‘from Valle Gran Rey’, Go) and others less used (babilón ‘from Tenerife’, gofión ‘from Gran Canaria’, cochinero ‘from La Laguna’, etc.).

The airline was established in March 1970 by Luxair, the Salen Shipping Group, Loftleiðir and various private interests in Luxembourg. Einar Olafsson was the airline's first employee and CEO. It started operations in May 1970 with one Canadair CL-44 freighter with services from Luxembourg to Hong Kong. Over the next two years, the airline grew, as did its public visibility.
By 1973, Cargolux had five CL-44s and made the leap into the jet age by acquiring a Douglas DC-8. This enabled the company to speed up its cargo deliveries. In 1974, Loftleiðir and Cargolux amalgamated their maintenance and engineering departments, and by 1975, Cargolux enjoyed new facilities consisting of central offices and two hangars.
In 1978, the airline began to take shape into the company it is today. The CL-44s began to be retired and the airline ordered its first Boeing 747s. In that same year it also began flying to other places in Asia, as well as to the United States. In 1979, as the company concluded its first decade, its first Boeing 747s were delivered.
In 1982, China Airlines became the first airline company to sign a strategic alliance with Cargolux.
1983 saw the introduction of CHAMP (Cargo Handling And Management Planning) and the start of some charter passenger flights for the Hajj pilgrimage. | <urn:uuid:da5b859f-cafc-4b53-9879-3b975a9da744> | CC-MAIN-2018-09 | http://www.infospaze.com/Cargolux | 2018-02-19T10:04:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-09/segments/1518891812579.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20180219091902-20180219111902-00054.warc.gz | en | 0.976852 | 294 |

Determining that you will have a healthier diet is the first step to actually getting there. This journey is not a fast one, as better eating habits are best done slowly. Get to know more about nutrition with these tips, and ease your way into a better life.
Breaking a junk food addiction is a tough, but rewarding obstacle on the journey to getting healthy. Sometimes it becomes a habit to rely on the good taste and convenience of these unhealthy foods. You can want to have these unhealthy foods long after you stopped eating them. If you can see the cravings, then you must fight them with a strong spirit, desiring those healthier choices.
Try eating slower. Slow down and carefully, consciously chew your food. Slow down and take your time when you are eating instead of racing through your meal. Chew and savor every bite. Eating more slowly also allows your body’s fullness response to work. You are more likely to stop eating when full, instead of overdoing it.
Whenever you go out to eat, try splitting your entree with your friend or date. Even if you carefully choose an entree, you can have too much food filled with fat and calories. Splitting one entree means you eat less and you spend less money. You also will not have to be concerned with the fat content of any particular food, as you will only be eating a small amount at a time. This is a great way to have good tasting food without weight gain.
Make sure that your meal plan contains a variety of different nutrients which are eaten in moderation. Eating too much is unhealthy. This can mess with your metabolism and cause you to be unhealthy.
A great tip for good nutrition at Thanksgiving is to eat a little snack before dinner. If your stomach is empty when you attend this dinner, you will tend to overeat. Choose to eat some fresh fruit before you arrive for the dinner, and you will be less apt to eat far more than you should.
You can easily improve your nutrition by eating vegetarian meals a few times per week. Vegetarian meals give your budget and body a break from heavy meat-centered meals.
Try not to put a lot of emphasis on dessert. If you can, only allow dessert a few times each week.
Replacing the ground beef in your recipes with ground turkey creates a healthier meal, although some people think it is too dry. You can add some onions and olive oil to enhance the turkey’s juices. That way, you enjoy the same great flavor you’re used to while eating healthier.
A great nutrition tip is to stay away from junk food because it is not good for your body. Included in this are oily, fried foods, foods that contain simple carbs and processed foods.
Be smart when you shop for whole grain foods. The color of a food doesn’t indicate whether it is whole grain or not. A product that contains whole wheat or multi-grain might not contain whole grains. This is where it pays to read the ingredient list carefully.
It takes time and several small adjustments to achieve an ideal diet. The tips contained here will give you a start on your trip. Try new foods and keep looking for ways to make healthy changes to your diet. Just keep in mind that every step you take, the closer you get to your goal. | <urn:uuid:f048cbdd-04e6-4ca6-b8e1-d0ee44450df9> | CC-MAIN-2019-09 | http://newpsoriasis.com/psoriasis/the-absolute-best-nutrition-advice-ever/ | 2019-02-22T05:15:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-09/segments/1550247513222.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20190222033812-20190222055812-00092.warc.gz | en | 0.960452 | 682 |
King Roland Creed and The Council of Eight:
Brothers and Sisters in Arms, I have prepared this report in answer to the many questions I have received as of late. Please refer to the numerous battle reports I have submitted on our engagements with the Eastern and Western Coalition Forces if you have other questions about the main war.
The topic of this report is to discuss the overwhelming success of our team of diplomats from Hillcrest. This unlikely bunch as completed their mission and has returned heroically! They’re contributions have been felt over the past ten months and will now allow for our next phase of attack to take place. The Hillcrest team is directly responsible for the following foreign forces:
50 Elite Swordsmen from the 1st Legion of Harfax.
These troops arrived shortly after the team was dispatched and have shown to be an amazing strike force lead by Volker’s top lieutenant, his wife Galiana Draves. Volker Draves‘s men have proven themselves time and again, it is a shame we were unable to secure more of their numbers. Their actions have won several major skirmishes that eliminated elite units of General Holtz’s force.
23 Harfax Knights of Solaris, over 50 battle clerics of Harfax 5th Legion.
These forces made up most of Hendrix Draves’s force, one he surrendered to Castelon prior to his death. The Knights of Solaris are amazing on the battlefield, arriving the same time as the 1st Legion forces and serve as a moral boost and elite unit. They’re worth their weight in gold.
An unknown number of Knights of Solaris. Estimated to be over 100.
After the Hillcrest Team saved the Old Citadel of Solaris from an undead attack, the Grandmaster Virgil Croak lifted the official ban on Knights aiding Castelon. This action has brought scores of the Knights from across Erenor to our cause. This act is more than martial support…it legitimizes our cause in the eyes of Solaris, somethings that shakes some of the Coalition’s sun clerics to the core.
20 battleships, 200 heavy calvary units, 1000 master-crafted weapons from Belstin
After the Hillcrest Team secured peace for Sator, King Bartholomew of Belstin prepared a fleet to deliver aid to Castelon. At the urging of the Senate, he sent 20 warships with advanced Harfaxian cannons to make an effective navy for Castelon. This piece alone has proven to be an incredibly valuable addition, as our navy was extremely poor in comparision to a Coalition Navy, even one weakened by the loss of Quinslin‘s superior ships. Indeed, the powerful fleet has all but ceased the Coalition’s naval attacks.
Additionally, Belstin sent 200 heavy dragoon units and over 1000 master-crafted weapons. The heavy calvary is being put to use against the Eastern Coalition Force with great effect and the weapons have allowed for our elite units to have quick replacements for lost gear.
Dwarven seige weapons, 3 gold dragons and 1000 Ilamarian Swordsmen
The Archduke of Ilamar met Belstin’s support after the Hillcrest Team aided him. One thousand elite swordsmen have been sent, each bearing magical arms and armor, to wage war for our side. Dwarven cannons and fire ballistas have been sent as well. These weapons have been critical in the defense of many small towns and villages, often surprising Coalition troops. Amazingly, 3 adult gold dragons, skirmishers in the Ilamar militia, also requested to journey to Castelon and make up part of the aid. These three work as a single unit, supporting one another and have destroyed a company of the Western Coalition Force.
One dozen fire-ships, 500 Luixian crossbowmen, 200 Fire Lance warriors and 100 black powder shooters
The nation of Luix has completed our budding Navy with an introduction of fire ships. Together with the above mentioned naval aid, Castelon as stalled any Coalition advance on the sea. It is anticipated that unless Harfax or Quinslin send naval aid to the Coalition, our war on the sea is won and it is directly related to these forces. Luix has also sent a division of crossbowmen with advanced repeating crossbows, several platoons of fire lance warriors and several units of black power pistoliers. These forces serve us as elite combat units, but are also teaching us the ways of their weapons and how to develop them for ourselves.
The entirety of the Burisotu Clan, 25 Western sorcerers
Luix has sent over a score of specialty wizards utilizing magic unheard of in our land. Though most of these wizards are inexperienced compared to our elite magical troops, they are formidable in their own right and they are using magics unknown to the Coalition, something that directly interferes with the combat doctrines. Additionally, the small clan known as Burisotu has come to join the war. Most of these are elite swordsmen known as “_samurai_”and their skill is legendary. They bring their support staff and families with them, but appear to be mostly self sufficient. It appears that Burisotu has damaged their honor in some way and seek redemption by aiding our conflict.
Two score Aegmegil swords, one hundred thousand bushels of grain
The elves of Volmir have supplied us with a substantial amount of rations. I cannot stress how important this is as many of our farms have been burnt to the ground by the Western Coalition Army. I cannot fight a war with starving soldiers and our resources are heavily taxed. This is truly a gift from Solaris and we cannot thank the elves enough. Additionally, the elves have gifted us with dozens of magically enchanted swords known as Aegmegil. These terrible blades can slice through almost any armor with ease and make their shrug off grievous injuries. These weapons have been issued to the body guards of King Creed and the Council of Eight as well as our forward commanders. It is doubtful we will need these weapons to protect our leaders, but they are treasures we must be grateful for.
See additional notes for specific battlefield engagements involving these troops.

Can you believe November is just about over? It’s hard to believe that starting tomorrow, all holiday song listening and hot chocolate drinking commences (not like it hasn’t already!). But before that, I’m really excited to share with you Kent Meister Photography, our Featured Vendor for the month of November.
Kent is a New York-based photographer who started out as an actor in Oklahoma. His love for theatre, film and making pictures eventually led him to where he is now as a photographer. Looking through his portfolio, it’s obvious that Kent really has an eye for capturing the essence of a story.
Take a look through Kent Meister’s Photography website and you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about. Also, make sure to check out Kent’s blog. I’m especially loving this engagement shoot. Something about being photographed in the intimacy of your home speaks wonders.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year…when we get to pull out our oversized sweaters and chunky cardigans and feel like we’re wrapped in a blanket all day! We could just imagine how cute a bride would be wearing a big fisherman’s sweater over her wedding gown!
Candlesticks add such a romantic feel to your table. Whether it be at home or at your wedding, a little height when it comes to candles is always nice. Of course, when looking for random decor items, Etsy is probably your best bet. Here a few sets I found to be beautiful and reasonably priced.
Brass Candlesticks by Shop Pilgrim. $10.
Handmade birch slender candlesticks from Gothenburg Collection. $27.
Upcycled Taper Candlesticks from Deligato. $30.50.
Brass Tulip Candle Holders by Reclaimer. $15.
Whether we like to admit it or not, those last few episodes of Sex and The City, where Carrie finds herself alone in one of the most romantic cities wearing only the most fabulous clothing, are eternally engraved in our minds. At least that’s how I feel–am I alone here?! If we want to get down to specifics, this particular outfit has always been a source of inspiration for me. The whimsy. The fun. Ah, the tutu.
I’ve always wanted to wear a tutu around New York City. That had never happened until two weeks ago during my bridal shower. I figured, if there was EVER a time to wear a tutu, it would definitely be at my bridal shower brunch. After a few weeks of searching, I came across Alexandra Grecco’s lovely tulle skirt and decided it was the one. This was my chance to feel like a ballerina walking down the streets of the West Village. And, I went for it. To be honest, I did receive a lot of weird looks on the street. At first, I thought why are they looking at me like this? Don’t they know how fabulous my skirt is? Don’t they!?! But instead, I like to think they were admiring my lovely layers of tulle wishing they too could prance the streets of the city fulfilling all of their Carrie/Black Swan dreams.
I was thinking, how fun would it be to wear a tutu-esque dress for your wedding. Here a some dresses we carry at Lovely that I think would be perfect!

This game is freaking incredible. Using Psi-powers to levitate cars, people, cows, and then violently smashing them into the environment is freaking brutal. I was instantly hooked when I lifted my first cow about 20 feet in the air, then ruthlessly smashed him to the ground, then using his massive corpse to demolish the rest of the cows in the pasture. I killed these two police officers by using their own police car as a massive projectile weapon. To top it off, they got the dude who voices Zim to do the alien leader voice. This demo pretty much sealed the deal as to how excited I am about this game. I'm pre-ordering this asap. | <urn:uuid:73d4c57b-ac6a-44f7-9691-73f9d8a7ae73> | CC-MAIN-2015-35 | http://www.ign.com/boards/threads/got-the-oxm-demo.87002286/ | 2015-08-28T13:54:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-35/segments/1440644062782.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20150827025422-00024-ip-10-171-96-226.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.978091 | 139 |

Logan Is Rory’s Baby’s Father On ‘Gilmore Girls,’ According To Colin & Finn
Even though Tanc Sade and Alan Loayza didn't appear on Gilmore Girls until the fifth season, that certainly didn't make their time on the show any less memorable. That's likely why Sade and Loayza — who played Finn and Colin on Gilmore Girls, respectively — made appearances at Gilmore Girls Fan Fest in Connecticut over the weekend of Oct. 20. The pair participated in a panel about the Life & Death Brigade, where they hilariously weighed in on very important topics, like who the father of Rory's baby may be and which of Rory's boyfriends is the best.
Just to refresh your memory, Finn and Colin were two of Rory's classmates at Yale. Aside from being two of Logan's (Matt Czuchry) best friends, both characters were members of the Life & Death Brigade, a mysterious group that Rory becomes fascinated with during her time on campus. Being able to gain little information about the group for an article in the school paper is originally what piques Rory's interest in the Life & Death Brigade, but after partaking in a few bizarre activities, like jumping off a building wearing formal wear and attending a private 1930s-themed party in the woods, she becomes a member herself, sparking friendships and changing the course of the show.
Sade and Loayza's Gilmore Girls Fan Fest panel, which took place on Saturday morning, was moderated by Bustle's TV Editor Martha Sorren, and thankfully, using words that didn't include the letter "e" wasn't a requirement. Obviously Rory's baby news, which was revealed at the very end of last year's Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life, is still fresh on peoples' minds almost a year later, so it came up in the conversation. And though it was a pretty big relief for fans to finally hear the show's final four words that were heavily teased by Amy Sherman-Palladino, the only question that the revival left unanswered was who the father of Rory's baby might be.
When these actors were asked to give their thoughts about the father's identity, Sade jokingly pointed at himself, giving more life to the humorous theory he tweeted about after the show aired last year. The panel's audience erupted in cheers and laughs.
But soon after, his on-screen sidekick offered up a more logical theory and explained why he thinks Logan is most likely the father.
"It's gotta be Logan," Loayza said. "And that's purely from a selfish standpoint, because we would be the uncles. So if they bring it back, we would be doing crazy uncle stuff and probably putting the baby in some Life & Death Brigade adventures... A little mini umbrella for the baby." Even Sade joined in on joking about the baby and the brigade.
Watching Finn and Colin play uncle to Rory's baby would definitely be hilarious, but that's not to say that Loayza wasn't unsure at some point, even thinking there was a slight chance Jess (Milo Ventimiglia) could be the father. He explained,
"That was the one thing that I thought like, if [Amy Sherman-Palladino] was going to throw a curveball, maybe with that look when [Jess] looks at [Rory] at the end. Did a moment happen after the newspaper scene between them that we never saw? We don't know."
Loayza also clarified that he and Sade do not know for sure who the baby's father is — they're purely speculating like the rest of us. However, they do know which of her boyfriends they liked the most. Because he spent time working alongside Jared Padalecki (aka Dean) and Ventimiglia for projects outside of Gilmore Girls, Loayza was slightly conflicted. "But," he made clear, "in the world, I think I am Team Logan."
So if there's anything to take away from this panel discussion, it's that, essentially, all signs point to Logan. And yes, Colin and Finn have his back off-screen, too. | <urn:uuid:5f57d1fe-ec57-4a0f-9dd2-122e6dd4aced> | CC-MAIN-2018-34 | https://www.bustle.com/p/logan-is-rorys-babys-father-on-gilmore-girls-according-to-colin-finn-2966139 | 2018-08-15T13:22:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-34/segments/1534221210105.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20180815122304-20180815142304-00710.warc.gz | en | 0.982811 | 864 |
Setting Firefox 3 To Show A Warning Or Prompt On An Attempt To Close Multiple Open Tabs
If you have upgraded your browser from Firefox 2 to Firefox 3, you must have noticed that you no more get a prompt or warning while you try to close a Firefox window having multiple active or open tabs.
You do not get the warning or prompt even if you select and enable the respective option in the “Tabs” section within Preferences of Firefox 3 for displaying a warning on an attempt to close a window with multiple active tabs.
Once you have selected the respective option in Firefox 3 Preferences for showing a warning while closing multiple tabs, the Firefox browser is actually supposed to show a dialog box with a title “Confirm Close” notifying you that you are in a process of closing “X” number of open tabs and asking you whether you would like to continue.
However, this doesn’t happen in Firefox 3. Instead, Firefox 3 directly closes all the active tabs in the window without showing a warning or asking for any confirmation, even though you have set the preference “browser.warnOnQuit” as “true”.
However, the developers in Bugzilla@Mozilla do not consider this behavior as a bug. Instead, it is believed to be an intentional change brought in as Firefox 3 is configured with the session restore feature by selecting the startup option (setting browser.startup.page to value “3”) where Firefox reopens and restores all active tabs and windows on next restart automatically.
Firefox 3 does not prompt for any confirmation when you either close a single window having multiple active tabs or exit the Firefox application having multiple active Firefox windows as long as it believes that the tabs/ windows can be restored at the time of next startup.
So as per the existing behavior of Firefox 3, you will no longer be prompted while trying to quit Firefox every time. The warning or the pop-up dialog box will be prompted for confirmation only if Firefox is unable to restore or reopen the tabs/ windows at the time of next startup.
Some users who feel quite annoyed to respond to the warning or prompt all the time may be happy with this new change. However, others who tend to open a lot of tabs in a single Firefox window would not be much pleased with this behavior as a single accidental click on the “X” (close) button can make them loose all the open tabs.
Nevertheless, if you want to be warned or prompted for a confirmation before closing a Firefox window having multiple active/ open tabs or quitting Firefox application, you can make use of the following workaround.
You need to simply set firefox to open with a blank page or home page at the time of every startup so that the system restore feature is disabled. For doing so, follow the steps mentioned below.
- Open the Firefox 3 browser and click on “Tools” to display the tools menu. Select “Options”.
- Within the “Startup” section in the tab “Main”, choose to load either blank page or homepage in Firefox browser on every startup for the option “When Firefox starts”.
You need to note that the option that displays tabs and windows from last time is nothing but the “system restore” option which means that if you select this option, you will not get any warning while closing multiple active tabs.
- Click on “OK” button.
Once you have made the setting for loading blank page or homepage in Firefox on every startup, you will get a prompt every time you try to close a Firefox window. Firefox 3 will display a dialog box with the title “Quit Firefox” asking you whether you would like it to save the tabs and restore them the next time firefox loads.
You may override the Firefox startup setting by selecting the option “Save and Quit” so as to save and restore/reopen all the active tabs in the next Firefox session. You may start anew with a blank page or homepage by selecting the option “Quit”. If you choose “Cancel” option, the exit operation will be cancelled allowing you to continue in the current Window.
However, “Quit Firefox” dialog box also has a check box with an option for not showing the prompt henceforth. If you tick on this checkbox and select the option “Save and Quit”, the startup option for displaying all tabs and windows from the last Firefox session on every startup will be automatically activated (setting the value for “browser.startup.page” as “3”)
Alternatively, if you tick on this checkbox and select the option “Quit”, the option for receiving a warning while closing multiple tabs will automatically be unchecked (setting “browser.tabs.warnOnClose” as false) in the “Tabs” section within Preferences of Firefox 3, which needs to remain checked for the warning or prompt to be displayed.
Therefore, to get the “Quit Firefox” dialog box every time you attempt to close a firefox window containing multiple active tabs, make sure that you do not tick the checkbox corresponding to the option for not showing the prompt henceforth.
The new dialog box “Quit Firefox” in Firefox 3 is different as compared to Firefox 2. It does not display the number of open tabs. If you want to receive the dialog box “Confirm Close” like in Firefox 2 you may use a simple workaround as follows.
Just open/ launch more than one Firefox windows (two, three or more) and close the window having multiple active tabs and you will get the usual dialog box “Confirm Close” notifying you that you are in a process of closing “X” open tabs and asking for a confirmation that you want to continue.
The dialog box also shows two buttons “Cancel” and “Close Tabs” and a check box with an option to get the warning each time you try to close multiple open tabs. Ensure that the check box is always ticked or selected.
This feature influences Firefox 3 in most operating systems including Linux, Windows and Mac OS X. | <urn:uuid:c66d7f1a-cb36-4fbb-bedf-8222e2c57d35> | CC-MAIN-2017-09 | http://www.techbuzz.in/firefox-doesnt-warn-when-closing-multiple-tabs-firefox-confirm-exit.php | 2017-02-26T07:42:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-09/segments/1487501171936.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20170219104611-00532-ip-10-171-10-108.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.874707 | 1,301 |

Gees man, I don't know why you bother with Storm ORM looking at that code
Axiom ORM is significantly less convoluted.
Does the Storm ORM wrapper for twisted not provide a transactional wrapper
like sAsync to do all your things inside a single deferred? You could
probably write one and save significant spaghetti.

Kind of sucks having a famous grandfather, doesn't it? Your little exploits are suddenly plastered all over the Internet. And FindLaw's Celebrity Justice. Poor guy.
Okay, that's about all the sympathy Clark James Gable -- Clark Gable's grandson -- is going to get from this blogger. In December, the 23-year-old pleaded guilty to pointing a laser at a flying Los Angeles Police Department helicopter.
On Thursday, a judge sentenced Gable to 10 days in jail, 3 years probation and 200 hours of community service with a Caltrans work crew. Caltrans is responsible for maintaining many of the state's roads.
Gable's punishment is nothing compared to what it could have been. Prosecutors dropped an assault charge in exchange for his guilty plea, reports Reuters. The laser, which temporarily blinded the helicopter pilot, could have resulted in serious bodily injury.
Which is why pointing lasers at flying aircraft is illegal in some U.S. cities and states. Much like a bright camera flash, lasers can cause flash blindness, making it difficult for a pilot to see.
Lasers are also highly distracting, which is why the Federal Aviation Administration has begun imposing fines against people who point them at aircraft. There is no federal law specifically banning the practice, but lasers technically interfere with the flight crew.
Those fines come in at $11,000 per violation -- way more than the reported $570 Clark James Gable has paid in restitution.
So perhaps being Clark Gable's grandson is actually a good thing. It affords you a lawyer who can negotiate a sweet deal.

Looks like Lotus Cars Limited’s five-year business plan is on. The wholly-owned subsidiary of Proton Holdings today signed an agreement for facilities amounting to £270 million (RM1.33 billion), extended by a syndicate of six financial institutions.
The six financial institutions acting as lenders are CIMB Bank, Malayan Banking, Overseas-Chinese Banking Corporation, Export-Import Bank of Malaysia, Affin Bank and EON Bank.
The agreement was inked at the Proton Centre of Excellence Complex in Shah Alam by Group Lotus CEO Dany Bahar on behalf of Lotus Cars Limited, while signing on behalf of their respective banks were Datuk Seri Nazir Tun Razak, group chief executive of CIMB Group; Datuk Seri Abdul Wahid Omar, president and CEO of Maybank; Tuan Syed Abdull Aziz Jailani Syed Kechik, CEO and director of OCBC; Adissadikin Ali, CEO of EXIM Bank; Datuk Zulkiflee Abbas Abdul Hamid, CEO of Affin Bank and Peter TC Chow, head of group business & investment banking and principal officer of EON Bank.
The loan syndication forms part of the funding required to execute Lotus’ five-year business plan. With the conclusion of the syndication exercise, the external portion of the funding is now in place and, together with other financial resources, this means that Lotus has successfully raised the required funding to realise the future plans.
“On behalf of Group Lotus, I would like to express our sincere appreciation to CIMB Group, Malayan Banking Berhad, Overseas Chinese Banking Corporation Limited, Export-Import Bank of Malaysia Berhad, Affin Bank Berhad and EON Bank Berhad for their support and, above all, confidence in our future plans,” Bahar said.
“With the help of this external financing, we look forward to introducing our exciting new models to the world, which will complement our current product range. I am confident that the execution of our business plan will mark the return of the iconic Lotus brand into the elite ranks of the world’s premium sportscar manufacturers and generate greater profitability and long-term financial sustainability for the company and its stakeholders,” he added.
“I would like to thank our shareholders, Proton, for the unwavering support and confidence in Lotus. I believe Lotus has a lot to offer to Proton moving forward. As the future plans bear fruit, I am confident that Proton will benefit in terms of branding, product development, and sales and marketing,” Bahar concluded. | <urn:uuid:654d4412-aa8e-40a5-94a2-a90b70e86f3c> | CC-MAIN-2015-18 | http://paultan.org/2011/04/15/lotus-cars-gets-270m-bankroll-from-six-financial-institutions/ | 2015-04-21T02:57:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-18/segments/1429246640001.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20150417045720-00292-ip-10-235-10-82.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.926646 | 543 |

Our township was incorporated on July 1st 2000, as the result of the amalgamation of the former Township of Hagarty & Richards and the former Village of Killaloe.
This area was first settled in the middle of the 19th century by Irish immigrants. As time went on, Irish, German, Kashub, Polish and Wendish settlers arrived by way of the Opeongo colonization road. That road is now known locally as the "Opeongo Line".
Logging was responsible for the initial economic development of the area, with timber being harvested in the interior and transported down streams like the Bonnechere River and Brennan's Creek in Killaloe to the Ottawa River.
At present, logging and tourism are our primary industries. Timber is harvested on private and crown land, and much of it is processed in local mills. Our lakes and forests provide a peaceful retreat for visitors who enjoy swimming and boating, camping, fishing, hiking, and hunting. In winter, snowmobiling and ice fishing are popular activities. Bonnechere Provincial Park, located in our township, and Algonquin Provincial Park, located 45 minutes away, attract thousands of visitors each year.
We are also home to a thriving community of artists, musicians, and performers, who display their talents at local galleries and venues. The Madawaska Valley Studio Tour showcases some of the best artists in Killaloe-Hagarty-Richards and neighbouring townships.

These days, air conditioning (AC) is no longer a luxury. When outdoor temperatures soar, you want the cool comfort an air conditioning system brings to your Florida home.
At Ferrara’s Air, our team of cooling experts can help you manage the level of comfort you want. As a company, we stay current on our professional education and training to bring top technologies and techniques to you. You can rest assured we will recommend exactly what you need.
With our years of experience in the Boca Raton, FL, area, you can rely on us for your air conditioner’s installation, replacement, repair, and maintenance. We work with all makes and models of air conditioners, so that is never a concern for you. Your satisfaction means everything to us.
How Much Money Can a New Air Conditioner Save You?
Our SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) energy savings calculator can help determine how much you could save on your utility bills. Simply enter your current unit’s SEER value and compare it to a newer, more efficient system. You can even customize it to better match your home’s system for a more accurate calculation.
Air Conditioning Installation and Replacement
If your air conditioner has reached the point where repairs no longer do the job or your home’s energy efficiency is at an all-time low, you may need a new system. When your Pompano Beach home is ready for a new or replacement air conditioner, our Ferrara’s Air professionals will install your cooling system without delay.
How do you know if you need a replacement air conditioner? Here are some of the most common issues. Your unit is:
- Approaching the end of its life span, usually between 15 and 20 years
Efficiency decreases as your system gets closer to the end of its life. You want to act proactively to plan what your replacement purchase will be instead of acting reactively when your system unexpectedly quits. This can save you money.
- Experiencing more and more repairs
Similar to when your car requires more and more repairs, there comes a time for evaluation. Are you spending more in repairs than it would cost to invest in a new system? If the answer is yes, call and talk to one of our knowledgeable team members to discuss your options.
- Showing signs of running inefficiently
How can you tell if your air conditioner is running inefficiently? A good indication is if your energy bills are increasing and your utility company’s rates remain steady.
This typically demonstrates it’s taking longer for your ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system to cool down your Florida home to your preferred comfort level. Your system is running longer and using more energy than it should in this case—an increase in energy costs.
If you notice any of these signs with your air conditioner, or if you suspect another reason for needing a replacement, talk to one of our Ferrara’s Air team members. We will design a system best matched for your comfort needs and budget. Our experts are always here to help you.
We also offer several financing options to help if this is a concern. Contact us to discuss how our team can guide you through our process.
Air Conditioning Repairs
Not having your air conditioner working on the hottest of days in Florida can be exasperating. Whenever you need a repair, let our cooling experts quickly remedy it for you.
There are many ways your air conditioner can stop working in its normal capacity. A few symptoms you could experience are:
- Hearing an unusual noise
- Smelling an unusual odor like burning
- Feeling warm air coming from your vents
- Noticing your air conditioner is frozen
- Leaking water
These symptoms mean you have an issue with your air conditioner. Ignoring problems usually only makes them bigger and more costly. Our recommendation is to have one of our Ferrara’s Air team members promptly diagnose and repair the issue for you.
Sometimes a repair turns into an emergency. Give us a call when it’s urgent. We are here 24/7 for you.
When you do need our professionals to make a repair, you can count on it staying repaired. We make our repairs right the first time—and only use the highest quality parts and materials when working on your system. Our experts are always here for you.
Air Conditioning Maintenance
Keeping your air conditioner in its best operating condition is your goal. You want your system inspected, cleaned, and tuned up on a regular basis to help avoid unexpected and costly repairs and breakdowns.
Routine maintenance by our trained and experienced Ferrara’s Air team helps your air conditioner cool your Pompano Beach home efficiently and reliably. With annual professional care, you may experience maintenance benefits such as improved energy efficiency, extended system life span, and decreased emergencies.
We recommend having our experts prep your air conditioner every six months at a minimum to give you consistent cooling.
Trust Ferrara’s Air With All Your Air Conditioning Needs
We provide all the services you need to achieve the level of cooling comfort you want in your Pompano Beach, FL, home from your air conditioner.

Utility Monitoring in a School Building
By: CAS Dataloggers
As part of an energy study, a school district required a utility monitoring solution in a school building. They needed to present this data in an easy-to-understand dashboard for each wing and as an aggregate total for the entire building. The building also had electric sub-panels for the different areas, but they are separated from the main utility rooms; these needed to be integrated into the dashboards as well to capture the full usage pattern.
The district outfitted each area's utility room with a dataTaker DT80 Universal Input Data Logger. The DT80 was connected to sensors that captured Chilled Water Flow, Hot Water Flow, and Gas Flow. A key feature of the logger is the universal analog and digital inputs which could measure the signals from the different sensors including 4-20 mA current loops, DC voltage, or pulse signals. The logger also has built-in math functions to allow calculations for scaling and totalization of the different parameters. The DT80 comes with dEX 2 software which provides easy to create, customizable dashboards for the different measurements with displays such as thermometers, digital meters, dial meters, and trend graphs.
The customer greatly increased their data accessibility immediately after installing the DT80s and having a visual dashboard for the combined data from the different areas greatly helped the school's administration to closely monitor their utilities. The entire building's usage is recorded with pinpoint accuracy, while the operator is free to view the data in a convenient dashboard display arranged by floor, wing, and aggregate total. Each floor's remote sub-panels are now included. The dataTaker DT80-based solution provided an ideal Utility Monitoring System. The customer has additional options available with this solution for increased monitoring down the road. With a DT80 already on every floor, future expansion to monitor other inputs is easy to accomplish.
Another DT80 could be added to the boiler room to closely monitor this high-energy usage area; this is also ideal for EPA requirements to monitor and track stack emissions. A separate power meter could be installed for submetering to measure just the lighting used in relation to the total electrical load. For a green solution, solar water heaters are one of the most popular new energy-saving devices being considered by schools–the DT80 can easily monitor temperatures inside and out, and also monitor the water flow through the solar panel itself.

Today’s retailer is facing ever-expanding opportunity, but they are also facing unprecedented challenges. Retailers have more channels to reach their customers and grow globally, but they must also serve an empowered consumer with access to more information and choice than ever before. It’s commonplace to find retail customers in the store cross-shopping the latest promotion or competitor down the street – forcing retailers to use IT in an entirely different way to drive visibility across the organization, to react quickly, seize new opportunities, and build customer loyalty. Retailers also have to find new ways to make their most valuable asset – people – more productive. To address these challenges, retailers need to adopt what we call a “Connected Experience for Retail.” Connected is the ability to capture customer information at the point of sale and have it populate in real time at headquarters and across the entire chain of stores to be acted upon immediately; Connected is the store associate who can provide real time visibility to a customer about product availability and location – helping build loyalty and differentiated service; Connected is a user experience for each employee optimized to drive speed of service, reduce training times, and drive organizational efficiency.This week marks the worldwide general availability of Microsoft Dynamics AX for Retail, a new end-to-end solution for midsized specialty retailers that offers a deep level of integration across point of sale, store management, supply chain, merchandising and financials to address business productivity, while enhancing customer serviceYou can find out more at http://www.microsoft.com/dynamics/en/us/products/ax-retail.aspx.

Boogie 'n' Shuffle
The extroverted Chicago harmonica legend and great songwriter Billy Boy Arnold blows with typical exuberance while singing with down-home good humor on Boogie 'n' Shuffle (Stony Plain 1266; 66:10). Produced by Duke Robillard, who also leads Billy Boy's crack backup band, this one rocks with roadhouse energy, particularly on invigorating shuffles like "Let's Work It Out," "Bad Luck Blues" and the title track.
A prolific songwriter, Arnold normally features only his own tunes on his recordings. This time out he has chosen a few gems to cover, including Jimmy McCracklin's soul classic "Just Got to Know," which features some honking solo contributions from "Sax" Gordon Beadle, Otis Blackwell's "Home in Your Heart," Ray Charles' slow blues, "Blackjack" and his jivey Louis Jordan-inspired jump number, "Greenback," which also turns Doug James loose on baritone sax.
This soulful collection also features a lengthy interview in which Billy Boy reminisces about his idol John Lee (Sonny Boy) Williamson and his tenure with Bo Diddley during the early, pioneering Chess days. This fascinating 18-minute oral history adds a level of depth to this vital music. | <urn:uuid:02dbf6de-dea6-4e3e-8d12-eb92abbc2a8e> | CC-MAIN-2016-50 | http://jazztimes.com/articles/12472-boogie-n-shuffle-billy-boy-arnold | 2016-12-10T11:09:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-50/segments/1480698543035.87/warc/CC-MAIN-20161202170903-00146-ip-10-31-129-80.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.948685 | 273 |

It’s estimated that for every one case of elder abuse reported to authorities, about five go unreported. Those same estimates believe that overall reporting of financial exploitation at only 1 in 25 cases, suggesting that there here may be at least 5 million financial abuse victims each year in the United States. WOW! Then add to that…the idea that most seniors are fleeced financially by their own family members! Who are these abusers? Some startling facts…victims’ often live with their abuser, 2/3 of all abusers are family members, usually single males in their late 30’s to 50’s, unemployed or underemployed. Minor or no criminal record, usually the abuser is a substance abuser. Thirty percent of abusers are male relatives of the abused. Financial abusers are most often dependent on their victim for financial assistance
Sadly, the abusers of seniors come in ALL genders, forms, sizes and ages…..
I recently read an article in an Orange County paper wherein a 86 year old man was walking his dog in his cul-de-sac at 11 a.m. when a white SUV began following him.
The SUV pulled ahead of him and parked A white man about 50-years-old got out of the car, along with a white boy about 12 or 14-years-old. The man told the senior he was a roofer working in the neighborhood and that many of the roofs were leaking. The man, who brought a ladder with him, offered him a free roof inspection.
The Senior man initially refused but relented, figuring that because the roofer had his “son” with him, there wouldn’t be any reason to worry.
The boy had obviously been trained in distraction, keeping the elderly man occupied in his den while the imposter roofer rifled through his home and stole $200,000.00 in jewelry.“He made me feel warm and nice because he was a young kid,” The senior stated to the police. “ The boy and I talked about his interests and schoolwork.”Finally, the man returned and shepherded the elderly man into the kitchen, showing him a puddle of water on the floor and a wet ceiling above – water the con-man clearly put there himself..
The burglar then told the boy, “Come on, we’ve got to get up on the roof to fix this,” But that’s when the two con artists took their ladder and left with their loot, leaving the senior in his den thinking they were working on the roof.
“It just tells you how old I am that I didn’t see something that was obvious to everyone else,” he said. “What gets me is not the stuff I lost, but that I’m so old.to defend myself.”
My mantra is and will always be…Open our eyes, look out for seniors in our neighborhood,! Make it our mission to check on them often, especially if you see a vehicle parked in front of their house. | <urn:uuid:e39eca2f-a21c-41ba-940d-badff12a9f1e> | CC-MAIN-2015-18 | http://www.templecitytribune.com/columns/opinion/when-it-rains-it-pours/ | 2015-04-27T10:31:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-18/segments/1429246658061.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20150417045738-00223-ip-10-235-10-82.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.980447 | 687 |
Today, quack medicine. The University of Houston's College of Engineering
presents this series about the machines that make our civilization
run, and the people whose ingenuity created them.
Here's a 1912 edition of Nostrums and Quackery: Articles
on the Nostrum Evil, Quackery and Allied Matters Affecting the Public Health
edited by one Dr. Arthur J. Cramp. Cramp had lost a daughter to quack medical treatment
and he meant to rid the world of those parasites. This is no scattershot attack; it's
a carefully documented steamroller, backed by the AMA and much of it based on their material.
Snake oil salesmen have been around as long as we've had ailments. But two forces
drove their mischief to a fever pitch in the late 19th century. The invention of
really fast printing presses provided criminals with new
access to the public (a lot like our Internet with its floods of SPAM.) Cramp's first
chapter details the advertising tactics used by this new generation of con artists.
The other factor was the rise of "scientific" medicine -- medicine based on new
chemistry, new instruments, and a general sense that panacea cures of every
kind were just around the corner. An expectation of medical miracles left everyone
vulnerable. Cramp begins by explaining how they advertised. He warns, for example,
that venereal disease sufferers, desperate for secrecy, are often subjected to methods
bordering on extortion. Then he devotes chapters to disease-specific scams, cures
for cancer, consumption, "female weakness", epilepsy, obesity, addiction, baldness, croup.
The quacks offer feel-good tonics for internal cancers, and caustic poultices for
external growths. They sell laudanum-laced tonics to soothe babies. For consumption
(or tuberculosis) they rely heavily on testimonials and photos of sage-looking doctors
to promote their mail-order nostrums. The testimonials were usually as fake as the doctor's
credentials. One investigator managed to trace 39 patients of a particular consumption
institute. He found 36 had died and two were dying.
Cramp reports chemical analyses of the typical elixirs. The ingredients are repetitive:
water, a lot of alcohol, maybe some flour, a dash of strychnine, perhaps a zinc compound
or a dollop of castor oil -- and some added odor or coloring.
I was especially taken by the mechanical gadgets. (It's no trick to make a machine that
looks powerful and potent; sci-Fi movie-makers do that all the time.) When you strapped
on Sanche's Oxyenator, your body was supposed to take up oxygen and heal itself of any
disease. Big market there! It was no more than an engraved tube filled with coke dust,
and fitted with tubes and straps.
And yet Dr. Cramp's array of electromechanical quackery anticipated real machines in your
doctor's office today. That's the cruelest part of this book. All this fakery anticipated
the pills and machines that really would, one day, alleviate pain and disease. No wonder
we were so gullible a century ago. Those charlatans all promised the world we now live in.
If only it'd been just science fiction -- it might've been something we could admire today.

The Coral Island 7.5m was Vikal's first Limousine delivered in 1992.
This is the boat that started it all.
In 1990 the doyen of yacht design. Jon Bannenberg was spending a lot of time in Australia whilst Oceanfast was building yachts to his design. Vikal built many of the superstructures under contract to Oceanfast.
Jon often came to Vikal and witnessed our methods working with composites. At the time a 75+ meter motor yacht designed by Jon was being built by Lurssen in Germany. Jon put forward Vikal as preferred tender builder for the new yacht and with the owner's approval. Vikal was contracted to manufacture its first pair of super yacht Tenders.
The completion of this Tender build, heralded a new era in Limousine Tender construction. The bar had been lifted.
Coral Island's features included a laminated glass windscreen, borrowed from a 1959, 62 series Cadillac Convertible. It's windscreen wiper was a single blade, articulated unit taken from a 500SL Mercedes Benz. The screen wiper washers were from a 911 Porsche. The anchor winch was a Muir, concealed below the foredeck and the anchor was a custom made stainless item fitted to the bow. The steering wheel was a billet Budnik, made by an American hot rod parts manufacturer. The transom view of the tender, shared much with the McLaren F1. Jon had gifted Vikal a detailed brochure of the McLaren F1 as an inspiration for the build. Hence the central driving position and the split rear window were both employed on this tender as per the F1 vehicle.
The level of design, build quality and detail set new standards in the industry. For the first time a Limousine Tender was presented at the level of finish offered in the yacht. As one captain commented "It's not just a Tender, but a true baby motor yacht". | <urn:uuid:dab8782b-a302-4cfe-bce9-4bb39fa6fd5f> | CC-MAIN-2018-05 | http://vikal.com.au/ourWork/view/CoralIsland7.5m | 2018-01-23T17:34:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-05/segments/1516084892059.90/warc/CC-MAIN-20180123171440-20180123191440-00047.warc.gz | en | 0.976162 | 404 |
At New York's Club Casanova, the young and little-know drag king movement is forming. Director Gabriel Bauer follows an evening's acts into their lives and presents the many reasons these women wish to be "Venus Boyz."
Laura's Review: B-
'I really am a Bridge' says Berliner Bridge Markland while crossing over one into Manhattan. Proclaiming an early love of androgyny and an act based on a love of pin striped suits from her father and uncle, Bridge is the most professional of the drag king performance artists we will see. Bauer follows her preparations, but Bridge is always 'on,' performing even when off stage. Her onstage antics are intriguing, whether deconstructing the sex bomb or performing lewd tongue gymnastics in Weimar garb. The crowd of mostly woman dressed mostly in male drag eat her up. Drag queens have been part of the American culture for decades, but their counterparts, the kings, are practically unknown with the exception of Brandon Teena, whose story was documented, then fictionalized in the Oscar-winning "Boys Don't Cry." Bauer's mini bios capture different flavors of kings, from those who merely enjoy the dress up to the more extreme testosterone experimenters, but while the documentary is informative, as entertainment it veers into repetition and extremism which will marginalize its audience. Mildred Gerestant is a Haitian-American data processor who morphs into Dréd, a most convincing rapper she finds empowering. Mildred professes to enjoy both sexes, although her romantic relationship with next subject, Storme Webber, a fortyish, dreadlocked, naturally androgynous poet turned into friendship. Webber seems more bohemian intellectual than drag king, although she makes interesting observations about cross dressing and her native Indian and African cultures. Scottish born Diane Torr has been performing as a man for three decades and holds workshops for women who wish to become men. That's ironic, because Torr is the least convincing of the bunch, appearing like a female Eddie Izzard impersonator. Torr is also bi and has a perfectly natural mother-daughter relationship with teenaged Martina, who criticizes her show for being too stereotyped. Del Lagrace Volcano, who lives in London, has a very male presence due to her experimentation with testosterone, the effects of which are not known yet. Del has found a niche with a similarly extreme group, which she introduces through a film made by friend Hans Scheirl, "Pansexual Public Porn," an outdoor porno featuring strangers of various sexual determinations. Del pushes the sexual nature of the documentary by first telling tales of the 'experimentation' of getting gay males to have sex with those like herself (they succeed). Lagrace is fascinated with female genitalia and mutations of said and produces photographs of the subject, art perhaps more extreme than that of Robert Mapplethorpe and not for all viewers. There is a touching scene where Del is surprised by friends with a birthday gift of a bicycle, yet it is difficult to relate to this gang of outsiders. Bauer uses Club Casanova's cartoonishly pompadoured emcee Mo B. Dick as a bridging device, while also shooting her outdoors in an elaborate half man/half woman costume. His camera frequently strays to the twin towers, perhaps meant to symbolize the dual genders on display, but the meaning has changed and the images are distracting. He also employs art camera effects, double exposures and other effects to keep the film visually interesting, but alas, that doesn't make up for emotional distance. "Venus Boyz" gets points for being one of the first (discounting the more specific "The Brandon Teena" story) documentaries on this subject, but if the movement continues, I doubt it will be considered one of the best. It is not, for example, anywhere near the equivalent of Jennie Livingston's 1990 look at drag queens, "Paris Is Burning." | <urn:uuid:989e534e-4ca1-4b50-a53f-ca95bc8a63b6> | CC-MAIN-2021-25 | https://www.reelingreviews.com/reviews/venus-boyz/ | 2021-06-15T14:09:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-25/segments/1623487621273.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20210615114909-20210615144909-00155.warc.gz | en | 0.958259 | 807 |

On New Year’s day Samantha, my mom and I, took an early morning stroll around the block. The sun had poked it’s way through the fog, dogs yapped their hellos and Samantha serenaded the few houses that still had their Christmas decorations up. When a middle-aged couple stepped out onto their porch for a quick peek Samantha scurried off, suddenly shy.
All seemed right with our little corner of the valley until my mom began a tirade about how ugly RV’s made the street look. I had to agree with that; thinking that it was too bad our new storage facility in town hadn’t thought of marking a few large spaces to harness these metal puppies.
My mom went on to say (doesn’t she always?) that you see many more of these parked on residential streets than you ever see in RV parks. A young couple of friends of mine bought one a few years back in the hopes of saving a lot of money on future family vacations. Last year they went to Hawaii. I wondered how it worked out.
The Claussens, recently retired seniors, just bought their RV too. They haven’t been seen from since.

Oh, I take that back, I see them every three months for their oral hygiene appointments. Can’t have those seniors out there with periodontal disease. Not when they have finally found the time to go everywhere. Now that they’re retired, of course.
I have to admit that I’ve been tempted by the open road. Between Jack Burditt’s woe-be-gone tales and the to-die-for adventures of Thelma and Louise I’ve imagined that the right vehicle with Bushman built-ins beckons somewhere.
Let’s see…it would have to have two computers because we couldn’t survive without indulging our daily junkie habit of e-mails and Internet access. Second, it would have to have real newspaper delivery. I love the smell of newsprint in the morning. (Robert Duvall liked the smell of napalm in the morning in what movie?) Thirdly, but not finally, it would have to tote a trailer large enough to haul all of Samantha’s Barbie’s—a junkie in her own right. (We’re so proud.)
Being that these demands are somewhat unrealistic, (As unrealistic as thinking we have the time to tool around the US.) we either have to find jobs that offer sabbaticals or feign mental anguish for workmen’s comp to get us out of our existing careers.
But we just moved into a new house, Sam’s starting a new school, I haven’t sufficiently annoyed my new neighbors (unless of course they have RV’s hidden somewhere I have yet to discover.) and I still need to WORK to pay my mortgage. I guess…I’ll have to wait.
So the way I figure it the deal to be made is for me to get one of these when I’m sixty-five. By then I won’t be hampered down by work, a mortgage or school schedules.

And, less we forget, I have to wait for technology to allow me to receive my full daily newspaper, floating in the satellite dish that will surely adorn my RV cruiser.
Can’t the rest of you wait a little longer too? Call my mom. I’m sure this is a sure-fire way to get rid of your RV payment and the Bushman’s can spend their next annual vacation with dear, old, ornery, complaining mom at the big wheel. Although this is the year we’re having her take us all to Hawaii. | <urn:uuid:63f8525a-7e82-4c67-baf7-6cc01b248976> | CC-MAIN-2022-27 | http://evewine101.com/2012/01/03/eve-of-destruction-cant-wait-to-be-sixty-five-12000/ | 2022-06-24T22:38:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-27/segments/1656103033816.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20220624213908-20220625003908-00430.warc.gz | en | 0.95948 | 870 |

Here’s a word to the wise – don’t count *any* team out in either of the Eastern divisions this season. In the NL East, the Braves are still on top, but their lead is just 1.5 games – over the last place Marlins and Phillies, that is. The Nationals are just one-half game behind, and the Mets are only a game back. Meanwhile in the AL East, you’re used to this by now – only 2.5 games separate the first place Yankees from the last place Blue Jays. In an odd twist however, the last place Blue Jays have the best run differential in the AL East (0), and the last place Marlins have not only the best run differential in the NL East (+24), but they’re tied with the Giants for the second best differential in the entire National League. So…that happened.
Game of the Day: Marlins 5, Dodgers 4. Miami has been unstoppable at home, going 14-5 so far this season and winning all but one of the six series they’ve played at Marlins Park in 2014. The Marlins held a 4-3 lead going into the ninth, and with Steve Cishek unavailable, A.J. Ramos tried to save the game for Jose Fernandez. It didn’t go according to plan though, as Ramos walked Chone Figgins to lead off the inning and promptly allowed a game-tying double to Andre Ethier. No further damage was done in the inning, despite an intentional walk to Yasiel Puig that put two men on with one out. Adeiny Hechavarria led off the bottom of the ninth was a single, was bunted to second, moved to third on a ground out, and eventually scored after a walk off double from Jeff Baker, nearly caught by Yasiel Puig. Puig was shaken up on the play after hitting his head on the wall, but left the field with minimal assistance.
Pitching Lines of the Day: Corey Kluber turned in another gem for the Indians in their 4-3 loss to the White Sox, allowing one run on three hits in eight innings, walking a pair and punching out 13. Madison Bumgarner pitched the Giants to a 4-1 win in Atlanta, giving up one unearned run on three hits in six innings, striking out nine while walking one. Roberto Hernandez outdueled Gio Gonzalez in Philly’s 1-0 win, giving up four hits in 7 1/3 scoreless frames, walking three and striking out three. Gonzalez also went 7 1/3 innings, giving up one run on four hits while walking a pair and striking out seven. Dustin McGowan turned in a solid start for the Blue Jays in their 7-2 win in Pittsburgh, allowing one run on three hits in seven innings, striking out five and walking three.
Hitting Lines of the Day: In Toronto’s win, Colby Rasmus went 3/4 with two runs, four RBI, a double, and a homer. Giancarlo Stanton spurred Miami’s win over Los Angeles, homering twice in three at bats while also driving in three runs and walking once. Brandon Crawford picked up two homers and three RBI in four at bats for the Giants in Atlanta, driving in three runs in the process. In Cleveland’s loss to the White Sox, George Kottaras hit a pair of solo homers in three at bats and walked. Prince Fielder spurred the Rangers to a 14-3 pounding of the Angels, going 3/4 with three runs, two RBI, two walks, and two doubles.
Other Games: The Rays topped the Yankees 5-1. The A’s beat the Red Sox 3-2 in ten innings. The Tigers pounded the Royals 9-4. The Twins defeated the Orioles 5-2. The Mariners held on once again to best the Astros 8-7. The Reds rallied late to beat the Brewers 4-3 in ten innings. The Padres earned a 4-3 walk off win over the Diamondbacks. Dillon Gee stifled the Rockies in the Mets’ 5-1 win. The Cardinals edged the Cubs 5-4.
Today’s Games: Shockingly, we have a nearly full schedule today – you don’t see that too often on Monday. Max Scherzer and the Tigers host the Astros. Zack Greinke and Jordan Zimmermann will face off in Washington. Nate Eovaldi and the Marlins host Jon Niese and the Mets. Jose Quintana and Jeff Samardzija will duel in Chicago. Matt Garza and the Brewers host the Diamondbacks. Martin Perez starts for the Rangers in Colorado against Jordan Lyles and the Rockies. Jered Weaver and the Angels welcome the Yankees to southern California. Scott Kazmir starts for the A’s, hosting the Mariners. Yordano Ventura gets the nod for the Royals in San Diego.

We offer a comprehensive approach to pain management that includes postural correction, spinal screenings, and a host of various pain management services and techniques.

We take this moment to inform you that Life Chiropractic here in North Burgen, NJ treats a host of various sports injuries as well as a long list of back and neck injuries. Of course, we invite you to contact us anytime to learn the specifics of our approach to treat your specific ankle injury.
Now, on to Dr. Hernandez’s video.
Alrighty, Dr. Alex Fernandez here from Life Chiropractic and Acupuncture. Today, I want to discuss the mechanism on how we’re gonna fix an inside ankle sprain, and provide you with a review on basically what an inside ankle sprain is. Basically it’s when we roll our foot inward. So, let’s say that we’re running and we’re kicking a soccer ball and we got stuck on the turf. Or we’re running and we hit a small puddle and our foot rolls inward this way. This creates the sprain in the inside aspect of the ankle which is called your deltoid ligament. And the deltoid ligament, if we look closely, it’s a pretty large ligament in here. It also has a smaller ligament in this area - two smaller ones, and they’re all known as the deltoid ligaments.
So, I’m going to demonstrate here what we do to actually fix this thing. So, thce first thing I start out with is regular range of motion of the ankle. We go up and down and we go side to side. And we ask the patient which direction is causing you pain. When you have an inside ankle sprain, most of the time if I do this, it will generate pain to the patient and I know this is where the ligament injury is located. Usually they’ll be okay with me bringing it this way but not this way. And again, one of the ways we fix this is we begin with our soft tissue instruments, and we begin working the ligament throughout that whole alignment as you saw right in this area here. Ok? So we work all the fibers in all direction where there is pain. And as we do this we’re focusing on the major ligament, and we’re also focusing on this piece back ligament in here.
Now, the big question is: How long does it take to heal this ligament? Anywhere between four to six weeks before we can get somebody back to their function. The ligament takes a little bit longer per se to heal, but between four to six weeks, utilizing this, and of course one of our secret weapons is laser therapy. Ok? Laser therapy, what we’ll do is we’ll shine the light right into the ligament, in the frequency setting. And as we shoot this light, it’s going to allow the ligament fibers to heal a lot faster. So I can get you back to running, I can get you back to soccer, basketball, whatever your sport is, we get you back running.
So once again, four to six weeks, and that’s usually the therapy that we do here successfully. So until next time.| | <urn:uuid:f712f7c6-a928-4015-a954-36d5dac624ae> | CC-MAIN-2023-06 | https://www.123yourhealth.com/life-chiropractic-and-acupuncture-blog/chiropractic-treatment-for-inside-ankle-sprains-newark-north-bergen-nj | 2023-02-05T01:34:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-06/segments/1674764500158.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20230205000727-20230205030727-00440.warc.gz | en | 0.935549 | 808 |

Optus, Telstra and Vodafone are gearing up to sell the Lumia 800, which will be available in black, cyan, magenta and white, Nokia announced today.
“Interest locally for Nokia Lumia, our first range with Windows Phone devices, has been extremely positive,” Nokia Australia’s managing director, Chris Carr, said.
“There is a significant appetite from operators and retailers looking to offer consumers a real smartphone alternative.”
Mr Carr said he hoped the Lumia 800 would be a turning point for the company in Australia.
Once the market leader in smartphones, Nokia’s fortunes have plummeted worldwide on its failure to produce state-of-the-art smartphones in the wake of Apple’s iPhone and new Android smartphones.
The full digital experience
“Nokia Lumia will change the way people think about Nokia,” Mr Carr said. “It signifies a new beginning for the company, bringing together the very best of Nokia’s handset design and services with the latest Windows Phone software.
“With uptake from all Australian operators and major retailers, the launch of the Nokia Lumia 800 signals our intent to regain leadership in smartphone design and usability.”
As well as the social network offered by the Windows 7 operating system, Nokia is plugging free, turn-by-turn navigation, new Nokia music services such as Mix Radio, a free music streaming service, and Gigfinder for finding nearby music entertainment, as benefits.
The phone has 16GB of internal memory plus 5GB of additional cloud-based SkyDrive storage, an 8 MP camera with a 28mm Carl Zeiss wide-angle lens and HD video, with Nokia’s own version of touch-to-focus.
Nokia last week posted a fourth-quarter, 2011 net loss of $US1.38 billion as sales slumped 21 per cent.
Nokia CEO Stephen Elop said the Finnish company had already sold “well over” 1 million Lumia devices.
Including other models, Nokia sold 19.6 million smartphones in the last quarter of 2011, down from 28 million a year earlier. By comparison, Apple sold 37 million iPhones.
The Lumia 800 and Lumia 710 hit stores in Europe and Asia last November, while the Lumia 710 went on sale in the US this month.
Mr Elop said Nokia would be shipping Lumia phones to Canada next month, and China and South America during the first half of this year. | <urn:uuid:1e1b8c66-72a0-42f4-98a3-b549e27ab4a6> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://www.tdevelopers.com/the-first-windows-phone-by-nokia-first-in-australia/ | 2018-05-27T13:58:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794868316.29/warc/CC-MAIN-20180527131037-20180527151037-00354.warc.gz | en | 0.917495 | 511 |
Primary care networks will only be required to deliver structured medication reviews in line with the capacity of their clinical pharmacists under new, cut-back service specifications that have been agreed as part of the 2020/21 GP contract.
Changes to the Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme (ARRS) means PCNs will now be able to recruit pharmacy technicians in addition to clinical pharmacists, social precribers and other staff categories.
GPs rejected the first draft service specifications for PCNs put out for consultation in mid-December, saying they were undeliverable.
A “significantly revised approach” has now been agreed between GPC England and NHSE. The final requirements for three of the service specifications for 2020/21 have been rewritten and are significantly shorter. It has been agreed that:
The personalised care and anticipatory care specifications have been postponed until April 2021 and will be part of next year's GP contract negotiations. The service on supporting early cancer diagnosis will be introduced from April.
In addition, PCNs will now receive 100 per cent funding for any roles recruited via the ARRS - previously only social prescribers were funded at 100 per cent and all other roles received 70 per cent funding.
The ARRS will also extend to cover new roles. Along with clinical pharmacists, PCNs will now be able to recruit pharmacy technicians along with five other new categories of staff. Mental health professionals will be added to the scheme from April 2021.
To cover these changes, the agreement sees substantial increases to the ARRS funding pot on top of the funding agreed last year. | <urn:uuid:c1ed8b35-54be-463c-b212-e34a7578e143> | CC-MAIN-2021-17 | https://www.pharmacymagazine.co.uk/593450-revised-pcn-service-specs-agreed-in-gp-202021-contract | 2021-04-13T16:59:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-17/segments/1618038073437.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20210413152520-20210413182520-00617.warc.gz | en | 0.953597 | 326 |

Happy Preservation Month! Our May HRC meeting will focus on historic roads. Led by educator Dan Marriott, PhD, we will "tour" and explore the relationship between the 18th-century English landscape designer Humphry Repton (1752-1818) and the design of the American freeway. We will consider Repton's pioneering theories on mobility in the landscape and the influence he had on Andrew Jackson Downing, Frederick Law Olmsted and Charles Elliot in the design and planning of Boston and other American cities.

Las Vegas, NV (AP/KXNT) — Republican Sen. Dean Heller is proposing that he and Democrat Rep. Shelley Berkley participate in seven debates across the state as the U.S. Senate race heats up.
Heller’s campaign suggested in a letter sent Thursday that debates begin in July, with no more than two debates per month until early voting begins Oct. 20. Each debate would be televised on a major broadcast station in Nevada.
The Heller campaign said it would be flexible regarding the format of the debates, such as whether the candidates would sit or stand and how much time would be allotted for responses.
Heller’s campaign proposed holding three debates in Las Vegas, and one each in Reno, Carson City and Elko.
Berkley’s campaign said it has agreed to one debate, which will be held in Reno on September 27th, and plans on agreeing to more.

It is time for a refresh with this spring nail inspiration.
Around this time each year I start to feel a little bummed and down with the short days and cold weather in New York. Since it’s not nearly warm enough yet to start wearing new, spring clothes, I like to do what I can and refresh my look with my nails.
I’ve been painting them bright blue, like my favorite Butler Please by Essie or a white for a boost of brightness. But I also love doing nail art, myself and at the salon. When I do them myself though, I like to stick with the more simple designs and lucky for me there a lot of ways to wear the spring nail trends in a simple way. Here are the trends I’ve noticed popping up and found from runway shows.
Twist on Metallics
Artistic & Alternative
Spring Nail Inspiration
The most common themes seem to be metallics, which are worn in new ways like just on the tip of the nail or in a painterly way. The painterly look is pretty easy to DIY at home with a good metallic polish like this silver purple that I swear by. It looks like liquid metal. I love the foil look that is big at salons right now too.
I’ve also noticed a LOT of small, minimalist stripes with negative space. These look easy enough to replicate with a really fine nail brush.
Then there are the cool, artistic and alternative nails. Like just having two or three nails painted and leaving the others without polish. I’m so happy that’s a trend now because I have definitely accidentally done this in the past via picking off just certain nails. The plain nail with simple glitter or with stars looks cool, minimalistic and easy to replicate as well.
Are you going to be trying any of these nail trends or use them for your spring nail inspiration? | <urn:uuid:5f1683cf-7764-48b8-9f2f-4ea61f440b7f> | CC-MAIN-2023-06 | https://pinkneonlips.com/spring-nail-inspiration/ | 2023-02-08T13:44:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-06/segments/1674764500813.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20230208123621-20230208153621-00028.warc.gz | en | 0.94223 | 420 |

Whassa problem? He’s a ‘she’, right?
It’s not like she’d need them.
Unless… like a typical man, ‘she’ has commitment issues.
Because the surgery was done at the transgender woman’s request.
This story is so bizarre, you’d think it happened in Florida.
But, no. This was in Denver, Colorado.
Where weed is legal.
DENVER – Police say a man faces felony assault charges after he used an Army surgical kit to remove the testicles of a transgender woman.
According to court paperwork, James Pennington, 57, confessed to removing those testicles. Police called Pennington after the victim was taken to an area hospital. Pennington willingly agreed to a police interview on May 17, at the District 3 headquarters.
He has since been arrested and is being held without bond.
According to police records, Pennington agreed to perform the surgery at the ‘victim’s’ apartment at the request of the ‘victim’.
Records state Pennington “used the scalpel and surgically disconnected and removed the victim’s 2 testicles and then sutured the opening back up.”
The victim’s wife was with her during what was described in court paperwork as a 90-minute-long procedure. Pennington then told the couple to call 911 if complications developed.
The victim’s wife told police after changing her dressing, a large amount of blood poured out of the wound so she called 911. Responding paramedics called police.
The probable cause statement says, “the testicles could not be re-attached due to time delay of a procedure to 911 call.”
That last sentence is one of the most horrific ones I have read in a long time, amirite?
That conjures a very disturbing mental image, doesn’t it?
The victim was taken to Medical Center of Aurora, where they told detectives she suffered from injuries that had the risk of “permanent disfigurement.”
The victim’s name, along with the victim’s wife were redacted from the report.
If that wasn’t disturbing enough, this person is now facing a possibility of permanent disfigurement.
Which is weird, because wasn’t that the purpose of the surgery?
And then it just gets weirder…
Police say Pennington is not a licensed medical professional in Colorado. He is a licensed pilot.

So, to reacap:
– Trans woman asks for surgery to remove the offending ‘male bits’
– The wife is present for the 90-minute surgery
– When things go south, the wife calls 911
– Things went south because the guy they asked to do the surgery used an army surgical kit — and was not a licensed doctor, but a licensed pilot
– Trans woman faces ‘permanent disfigurement’ and the testicles cannot be reattached
– Pilot is charged
– Trans woman and wife had their names redacted because of their ‘victim’ status.
Who was it that wanted this surgery again?
It’s unlikely anyone would volunteer to perform such an operation.
Dontcha think that maybe the trans woman and her spouse have some culpability in this grotesque situation? | <urn:uuid:efabeb23-12d0-4fa0-bae6-773e949c1357> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | https://clashdaily.com/2017/05/wtf-dude-removes-transgender-womans-testicles-heres/ | 2017-10-24T07:50:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187828189.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20171024071819-20171024091819-00793.warc.gz | en | 0.96062 | 719 |

Here is an excellent website which lists high yielding stocks for various stock groups around the world (including exchanges in the US).
Prominent US groups included are:
- DJTA (Dow Jones Transportation)
- Dogs of the Dow
- Nasdaq 100
- S&P500 Dividend Aristocrats
My focus is on the S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrat list. All stocks are listed and arrayed with the highest yield stocks at the top of the list. Some of the highest yielding stocks are utilities and telephone companies which I don't follow. Excluding those stocks, the remaining ones with high yields (as of April 27, 2010) are:
PITNEY BOWES (NYSE:PBI)__________$21.46____6.78%
ELI LILLY (NYSE:LLY)_______________34.94____5.62%
CINCINNATI FINANCIAL (NASDAQ:CINF)___30.34____5.23%
LEGGETT PLATT (NYSE:LEG)________20.45____5.13%
ABBOTT LABORATORIES (NYSE:ABT)_51.64____3.33%
JOHNSON & JOHNSON (NYSE:JNJ)____63.57____3.25%
AUTOM. DATA PROC. (NASDAQ:ADP)____44.68____3.04%
PROCTER & GAMBLE (NYSE:PG)_____63.08____2.99%
VF CORP (NYSE:VFC)______________82.91____2.90%
PPG INDUSTRIESUS (NYSE:PPG)______76.77____2.83%
EXXON MOBIL (NYSE:XOM)__________65.67____2.62%
Those with the highest yields carry the highest risk, extra yield is compensation for added risk.
PBI suffers from the perception that its mail business will whither over time, but earnings cover the dividend and PBI should increase the annual dividend by 2 pennies next year.
LLY will be dropped in December because its dividend was not increased in 2010. But brave investors might be interested in its high yield even though the dividend could be frozen until new drugs bring higher earnings.
CINF is a medium size insurance company which I've hesitated to write about it because of its mediocre record (second-rate Q3 earnings were just released). Operating earnings barely cover the dividend and it has only declared 2¢ annual increases for its dividend in 2009 and 2010. But the company pointed out that the dividend increase last month reflected 50 consecutive years of annual increases.
LEG just reported earnings which disappointed some analysts. Q3 EPS declined 3¢ and the guidance for 2010 EPS was reduced to the low end of previous guidance. SVU cut its dividend this year and it will be dropped in December.
KMB with its yield leads the rest of the S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats. KMB just reported poor earnings and 2010 guidance was reduced a little, costing the stock $4 in 2 days. The remainder are quality companies with strong finances which should keep them Dividend Aristocrats for many years.
A footnote, Brown-Forman (BF-B), at the bottom of the list, is a new member with a yield of 2%. But it's yield is listed as 0%, a mistake that needs to be corrected. Also, this list does not include mid-cap or small cap stocks even though a small number qualify as Dividend Aristocrats.
Investment performance is about gains coming from dividends and capital appreciation. In the last 10 years, the stocks of many companies (including Dividend Aristocrats) have not had appreciated. For example, the S&P 500 is below its value 10 years ago.
But Dividend Aristocrats kept increasing annual dividends, even through the worst recession in many decades. That's financial strength. Dividends (assuming each company is researched) providing at least 3% yields and growing dividends give an investor a good start on earning a desired total rate of return.
