Based on the classic AC30 design, with numerous up-to-date enhancements and Celestion Greenback speakers.
The Vox AC30C2 amp makes use of 3 x 12AX7 preamp tubes and use 4 x EL84 tubes to deliver 30W of power. It uses 2 - 12" Celestion G12M Greenback speakers, and includes a switchable 8/16 ohm output jack for powering an external speaker cabinet when you need to speak with a little more authority; using this jack will mute the internal speakers. Additionally, the 30W guitar amp's 2nd extension speaker jack allows you to run an extra 16-ohm cabinet along with the internal speakers for a fuller sound.
An Evolution in Tone
This Vox amp offers two channels: Normal and Top-Boost. Each channel is equipped with its own Volume control, and the Top Boost channel offers highly interactive Treble and Bass tone controls. This powerful channel pairing provides an abundance of tone-crafting control, letting you dial in a classic sound that is all your own.
Both channels on this Vox tube amplifier rely on the Tone Cut and Volume controls in the Master section. The Tone Cut control operates in the power stage rather than the preamp stage, allowing an additional degree of tone shaping. The Master Volume control works in conjunction with the individual volumes of each channel to create just the right degree of gain staging. By balancing the individual and Master volumes, the Vox Custom amplifier can deliver everything from a clean Vox "chimey" sound to a powerful overdriven tone.
Sound in Motion
Sweeten the sound of your Custom Vox amplifier using its classic tremolo effect. Both the speed and the depth are adjustable, allowing you to generate just the sound you want. A warm Spring Reverb is also included on all Vox Custom guitar amps, adding spaciousness to the sound. The AC30C2 also includes an additional tone control in the Reverb section. The Vox Customer AC30C2 tube amp and all Vox Custom amps can use the optional Vox footswitch, allowing you to turn the Reverb and Tremolo effects on and off as you continue to play. The Vox Custom AC30C2 provides an effects loop for incorporating your favorite effects into your sound. True "Bypass" switching takes the entire effect loop out of the circuit.

Comments about Vox Custom AC30C2 30W 2x12 Tube Guitar Combo Amp:
I've had this amp for over two years now and absolutely love it. It looks good and sounds sweet. It's as loud as any amp you are liable to run into without all the 60 cycle hum that accompanied the 5150 combo that I replaced. I've read some complaints of these amps overheating, but I use mine most times twice a week for practice and usually gigging at least four times a month. Have never had any issues at all. Turn it on and crank it to 3. it's all you'll need. | <urn:uuid:2e7801e2-1e23-4efb-8117-6ba928db8802> | CC-MAIN-2015-40 | http://www.music123.com/amplifiers-effects/vox-custom-ac30c2-30w-2x12-tube-guitar-combo-amp | 2015-10-09T15:03:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-40/segments/1443737931434.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20151001221851-00230-ip-10-137-6-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.886303 | 926 |
Today, many new homes in the Milton and Alpharetta areas have a room that is commonly referred to as the ‘keeping room’. What does this mean? Where does it come from?
The actual definition of a keeping room is – “an area adjacent to the kitchen”. It is a term that dates back to Colonial times when homes were typically heated by a small fireplace or wood-burning stove in the kitchen. Families often slept in the keeping room during the colder months when the rest of the house was cold.
In modern times, the keeping room is often treated as a more informal living area. It is still located adjacent to the kitchen and can be a smaller space that comfortably seats 2-3 people or a much larger version that acts as a family room with plenty of seating for family and friends.
It is not to be confused with a great room, which tends to be located in the center of the main level of a home; the keeping room is an additional living area that is more casual in style and acts as a hub for family activities. This area most often includes a fireplace and a place for watching television.
I personally like this space when it is included in new home construction, as it provides a relaxed seating area in the part of the home where people tend to gather most … the kitchen. By providing comfortable and accessible seating very near the kitchen, it replaces the need for everyone to congregate around the kitchen counter. When entertaining, it is an ideal place to keep guests occupied and out of the way while the host is working in the kitchen.
Enjoy your keeping room, living room or great room! As long as you….
Love Where You Live!

On observation and What Prevents Observation
I am sharing something I was writing about - how we were observing children in the school and also what prevents observation. When we started the 'reimagining schools initiative' the most important thing we did and asked my group to do was to drop all 'knowledge' we hold on children, learning, subject, content etc. This is not easy as we have to genuinely doubt what we think we know. Is it possible to observe children without wanting to do anything- no teaching, no helping etc. JUST OBSERVE.
This has been very difficult for most people who came to the school to be with us. They all wanted to 'help' children either to play, to see, to learn etc.
This ability to observe without 'knowledge' helps in seeing not only the child but also oneself. The knowledge system I am talking about is fundamentally a two way process which enables one to know oneself as one is engaged in knowing the outer world. Finer, deeper and more sensitive one gets once seeing becomes clearer and clearer. In fact the traditional knowledge system is this kind of knowledge.
Traditional knowledge system must be seen as existential knowledge system in which the sustenance of life is the basis (modern knowledge non-system is whimsical and egoistic). All living beings are rooted in this kind of life-sustaining knowledge.
Once while conducting the workshop 'learning to see' I asked the participants to look for yellow leaves. One engineer participant immediately asked "Oh! The ones without chlorophyll". He obviously will not be able to see as he is full of knowledge and is involved in thinking while looking.
The real act of SEEING is, one could say, merging with the seen. I had always felt if you really see you can only see beauty. There only beauty to be seen but as we don't look we don't see it. We actually have aesthetic cognitive structures which enable us to see clearly and the whole.
The innocence of the child can only be seen once our innocence is awakened. (The issue of objective, subjective knowledge will be a hindrance. The tragedy with the modern knowledge system is that they have developed several rules (traps) to stop them from seeing. Mind will constantly interfere as what modernity has developed is the mind, by way of analytical knowledge. The best example is their exploration in 'embodied knowledge', 'phenomenology' and even in the notion of biological roots of cognition by Humberto Maturana. Once you theorize embodied knowledge then it is no longer embodied knowledge. Phenomenology is a way of knowing by being in process but creating a method of phenomenological investigation the 'process' is finished. I often see very good insights are explained away instead of staying with insight.)
The seed of the bonsai tree has the potential for becoming the original tree. Modernity creates bonsai humanbeings by clipping their roots (fragmentation and alienation). What we do with our children is to make bonsai out of them and not to let it grow to its potential as we think bonsai is its potential. The bonsai tree, pampered and appreciated in rich homes naturally think they are 'evolved' and 'developed'. I see the notion of evolution as another trap modernity has created for itself.

I've been wanting to make my OWN dark chocolate mints using my coconut "butter" aka as my topical. It multi-tasks. It's the incredible, edible topical. That's why I prefer it over canna butter. It's much healthier too. I'm trying to find the flavoring I know the dispensary uses locally vs online. At least I got the info on what brand flavoring he uses (the owner). He guards his recipes quite well and won't even give them to his close friends & family. I hope they turn out. I have some cute little candy molds I bought for making them. I hope to have them made by Sunday. Wish me luck!
Healthy Homemade Chocolate
Prep time: 5 mins
Cook time: 5 mins
A simple and delicious homemade chocolate that is GAPS, paleo and primal approved (and definitely kid approved!)
Author: Wellness Mama
Recipe type: Dessert
- 1 cup of Cocoa Butter
- 1 cup of Organic Dutch Process Cocoa Powder
- ½ cup Raw Honey (I use Tropical Traditions Brand) or to taste- using half this amount or less will make a bittersweet chocolate
- 1 teaspoon of Real Vanilla Extract or other flavors to taste
- Optional: Toasted chopped almonds, orange or mint extract, etc)
- Melt cocoa butter in a double boiler or a glass bowl on top of a small pan with an inch of water (make sure water isn’t touching bowl) over medium heat.
- When cocoa butter is completely melted, remove from heat and add cocoa powder, honey, vanilla and other flavor extracts. If using a solid raw honey like Tropical Traditions, melt with the cocoa butter.
- Make sure all ingredients are well incorporated and smooth. At this point, make sure that no water or liquid gets in to the chocolate as it can cause the texture to get mealy! Be careful even with wet hands or a drop of water in the mold! [Note: I've also just melted all of this on very low heat in a small pan and not had a problem with it, but this isn't as reliable as the double boiler method]
- Pour the chocolate in to molds or onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a glass pan to harden.
- Let harden for several hours at room temperature until hardened and remove from molds. You can also stick in the fridge to harden more quickly. Will store for over a week at room temperature or can be kept refrigerated for longer.
You can also use coconut oil in place of the cocoa butter which will produce a very healthy chocolate, but it will not be as thick or creamy (but still very good!) If you use coconut oil, I recommend hardening in the fridge and storing in the fridge. This is one easy way to add coconut oil and magnesium to your daily diet! | <urn:uuid:7c6b77d0-da99-42c1-8cef-27ba77585a12> | CC-MAIN-2019-09 | http://greenthumbgirls.com/cannabis/2014/2/23/cooking-with-cannabis-the-quest | 2019-02-17T08:08:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-09/segments/1550247481766.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20190217071448-20190217093448-00374.warc.gz | en | 0.949345 | 593 |
Last night I never slept. I felt like that kid that wanted Christmas to come in the morning. I woke at 11:20 with the feeling that I had been sleeping for hours. The 1, then 3 and then god only knows how many times until I finally got up at 6:59am.
Today is the 12-week scan since the implantation and IVF process. It’s 3D so we never had that when I had my first son 30-years earlier. This is the scan that tells you everything is going to be fine. They measure fingers, toes the lot. I can’t wait.
We are still in Tbilisi as we wanted to stay until the final 12—weeks had passed. Finally, we arrive at the hospital and it is all casual and relaxed as ever. Appointments are all done via Viber or Facebook but it feels easier than the rigidity of back home in the U.K.
We are first in; my wife lies back and the doctor starts her scan. There is a huge screen in front of me and from the moment the scan starts the bay is as clear as can be live on screen. And then the audio comes on. The heart beats so loud I feel very tearful with happiness, it just feels amazing.
After the scan a blood test and then we go and see our specialists upstairs – Keti!
She has been great from start to finish. She confirms every looks as perfect as it can look but at the same time offers multiple tests where results cannot be guaranteed but she says are worth having anyway. We decline most and that is it. We are done with the hospital here and now it’s time to fly back home in a week or so.
What a ride it’s been. For my wife stressful with endless injections, tablets and more. Imagine having to inject yourself in the hip every day at 7am for 12-weeks? As a man, you know I couldn’t do it and probably neither could you. And then pessaries, other tablets and more. It just went on and on.
But today it all finished and that itself feels really good for my wife.
But this is a blog for older dads or fathers so I want to share how it feels for me at 55 being here today and seeing all of this taking place.
I find it hard to explain.
First, it feels like having a baby has become a scientific process where everything can be measured, tested and refined. I am not saying that is a bad thing I am simply saying it doesn’t feel as natural yet … I am happy to have been through it because if we didn’t go through it I don’t think we would have had our 12-week old baby on the screen today. There is a lot of available information now and it can feel like too many choices and too many gloomy possibilities being endlessly spoken about and offer – just in case!
Second, some people will say I am doing it all over again. I don’t live my life like that. For me life is a continuum that carries through until the end. That includes experiences of all kinds and that includes the arrivals of my fifth child in my fifties.
I feel a rush, I feel excited I feel every emotion I can write and not write here. This feels like something incredible has taken place and is going to take place. Life feels wonderful and I can only feel a rush of new life and more passion and enthusiasm than I had before this.
Being a dad again in my fifties as far as I am concerned has no issues as being a dad for the first time in my twenties.
I can’t wait and after hearing that heartbeat and seeing the scan today I feel more excited than ever.
The Old Dad,
Alan Forrest Smith

In a surprising discovery, scientists have come across a ghost-white shark with a rare condition.
This enigmatic predator was unintentionally caught by fishermen primarily targeting sole fish.
Operating along the coastal region of Los Chimus in Peru, the fishermen promptly reported their extraordinary find to the authorities.
Upon capture, the shark exhibited injuries to its gill slits, likely due to becoming entangled in their nets the previous month.
The marine creature was transported to the Peruvian Institute of the Sea (IMARPE) in Chimbote for further examination.
Upon investigation, scientists determined that the shark suffered from leucism, a condition leading to partial loss of pigmentation. It should be noted that this condition differs from albinism, which results in a complete absence of melanin—a substance responsible for hair, eye, and skin pigmentation. Unlike people with albinism, which often have pink or red eyes, leucism typically results in an animal’s skin turning white while leaving their eye colour unchanged.
IMARPE reported that this represents the first known case of a shark with this condition in Peruvian waters. The discovered specimen was a young female measuring 89cm in length. It’s important to note that sexual maturity in female sharks typically occurs when they reach a length of approximately 220cm.
This particular predatory species occupies a prominent position in the trophic food chain and predominantly preys on other sharks, rays, cetaceans, and sea lions. Broadnose seven-gill sharks are known to collaborate in groups when hunting larger prey. Their seven-gill slits can distinguish them, whereas most shark species possess five.
This discovery sheds new light on the remarkable diversity of marine life in the waters off Peru’s coast.

Credit creates the illusion that the buyer has money and often the purchase is put out of mind before the bill is received. Sometimes, it is only at the time the bill is received that the financial reality of the purchase sets in.
Using your credit cards as a necessity rather than a convenience is one of the early warning signs of financial difficulty.
Other warning signs are continually going over your spending limit; borrowing money from friends and/or family to make it from one payday to the next; constantly receiving notices about your overdue accounts; taking out a consolidation loan to pay off your credit cards, only to build up the card balances again; harassment from creditors and collection agencies; garnishments of wages; and emotional distress from financial pressures that affect your health, job or marriage.
Here are some money management tips:
Prepare a monthly budget that shows your net income and expense. If your expenses are more than your income, you probably have to cut back on your expenses. Stick to your budget, especially when cash is tight.
Include an "an emergency" provision in your budget, so that cash is available, if needed.
Reduce spending. Think of ways not to spend money so that you can reduce your expensive credit card debts. Reducing your debt balance will also reduce your interest expense, thereby freeing some cash which will allow you to pay down the actual loan or debt.
Be a comparison shopper and an informed consumer. Don't buy on impulse. Be cautious of TV, telephone and door to door sales. Make sure that when you buy you have researched both the product and the price thoroughly.
Don't invest money you can't afford to lose. Don't use the rent or food money to put into risky investments. Invest with money you can afford to lose should the investment turn bad.
If after doing the above you find your self saddled with an unmanageable debt load, then you likewly should talk to a financial advisor or a Trustee in Bankruptcy.
As a bankruptcy Trustee with over 25 years of experience, I have met with many individuals to assess their financial situation. Although each person's situation is unique, the areas I usually review with those I meet include:
Although at first glance some of these options may appear not to be applicable to you, it is only after understanding them do people recognize that the options may provide realistic ways of dealing with their financial problems.
Facing your financial difficulties is important. Exploring and understanding your financial options allows you to begin to take control of your finances and get your life back on track.

"A Look to the Heavens"; Free Download: 2017 APOD Calendar
“Barred spiral galaxy NGC 1365 is truly a majestic island universe some 200,000 light-years across. Located a mere 60 million light-years away toward the chemical constellation Fornax, NGC 1365 is a dominant member of the well-studied Fornax galaxy cluster. This sharp color image shows intense star forming regions at the ends of the bar and along the spiral arms, and details of dust lanes cutting across the galaxy's bright core. At the core lies a supermassive black hole.
Click image for larger size.
Astronomers think NGC 1365's prominent bar plays a crucial role in the galaxy's evolution, drawing gas and dust into a star-forming maelstrom and ultimately feeding material into the central black hole. Discovered on October 27, 2013, the position of a bright supernova is indicated in NGC 1365. Cataloged as SN2012fr, the type Ia supernova is the explosion of a white dwarf star.”

Certificates vary widely in quality and degree. You can get a TESOL certificate online or in class. You can get them from a well-known organization such as Cambridge or Oxford or from very local or purpose specific organizations (such as churches training for their mission or literacy organizations training for tutoring). The challenge is that there is no regulation of quality in TESOL certificates apart from institutional reputation.
Types of programs:
- Online training programs lack the crucial component of face-to-face and classroom experience. While a lot can be learned well on line, the actual interpersonal skills of being in front of and executing a classroom cannot.
- I much highly favor hybrid training programs that are partially online, partially in person. These can often work well with teacher schedules as the in person component is scheduled during holidays. I’m not at all against on-line learning – in fact, I think there are times when you can actually learn MORE online – but for certain courses, face to face experience is a must.
- University based programs tend to be more reputable when they are attached to accredited institutions. A for-credit university course certainly has the ability to cover more content than a weekend seminar that also offers a certificate program. It also carries the name/reputation of the university from which it comes (which can be good or bad, depending on the university).
- I’m not very familiar with for-profit training programs such as Oxford Seminars or AmericanTESOL Institute, though reviews are pretty unfavorable because they lack classroom experience.
Region specific qualifications
- Without a degree, it may be difficult to get into some parts of the Middle East and Asia.
- European countries typically require CELTA Certification.
- South America, Central, Africa and more developing countries will have looser qualifications.
- In the US, a TESOL certificate is more likely to qualify one for part-time employment. The full time positions usually go to candidates with an MATESOL or related degree.
Prospective employers will look at:
1) institutional reputation
2) classroom hours
3) courses taken
4) field experience in the classroom. (Generally, a program with a minimum of around 60 hours of field experience is more highly regarded.)
The Bottom Line?
The more desirable the locale (read: good salary, appealing destination), the better the qualifications needed. | <urn:uuid:4d409490-1b5c-43a4-beac-6ce20dfcbf98> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | https://tesol.wordpress.com/2011/01/19/tesol-certificate/ | 2017-10-23T10:00:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187825889.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20171023092524-20171023112524-00118.warc.gz | en | 0.948224 | 492 |

The Journal of Sacred Literature, 4th series vol. 9 (1866) p. 117; vol. 10 (1867), pp.150-164.
THE tract which I now offer to the readers of The Journal of Sacred Literature, is ascribed to Eusebius of Caesarea ; and there is no reason, so far as I can see, to doubt the correctness of the statement. It is entitled : Concerning the Star ; showing how and through what the Magi recognized the Star, and that Joseph did not take Mary as his wife. Consequently, it stands in a certain connection both with parts of the Chronicle and with the Quaestiones, edited by Mai in his Scriptorum Veterum Nova Collectio, t. i., and his Nova Patrum Bibliotheca, t. iv., p. 219 foll.
This tract is, I believe, now published for the first time. The Greek original appears to have perished ; and the Syriac fragment De stella quae Magis apparuit, given by Mai in the Nova Patrum Bibl., t. iv., p. 281, is evidently extracted from a different work. I have taken it from a manuscript in the Nitrian collection, Add. 17,142, a small octavo volume of seventeen leaves, dating apparently from the sixth century. The text, which I have reproduced as faithfully as possible, is, I am sorry to say, very corrupt ; but I shall endeavour to correct at least some of the mistakes in the notes to the translation, which I hope to publish in the next number of this Journal.
24th March, 1866.
[Syriac of pp.118-136 omitted from online text]
"ICH habe den seltsamen Tractat über den Stern mit Interesse durchgelesen, obgleich er ganz ändern Inhalts ist, als ich erwartete. Meinen Freund Gutschmid interessieren die Königslisten sehr, und er ist schon dabei, alle nach ihren Quellen zu ordnen. Die assyrischen Könige gehn auf Ktesias zurück. Das persische Verzeichniss findet sich eben so bei Malala. Den König [Syriac] erkannte Gutschmid sogleich als a1llos, und diese Conjectur bestätigte ihm der Text des Malala. Nur mit dem Verzeichniss der Könige seit Alexander ist Gutschmid nicht im Heinen. Uebrigens bestätigt Gutschmid meine entschiedene Zweifel an der Echtheit des Werkchens, welches zwar vielfach auf Eusebius' Chronik zurückgeht, aber doch von einem weit weniger hervorragenden Mann geschrieben sein muss. Ich glaube sogar, der Urtext ist Syrisch, hauptsächlich weil die Bibelstellen und biblischen Anklänge mehr Aehnlichkeit mit der Peshito, als mit den LXX zeigen."
So writes my friend Professor Noeldeke of Kiel (21st May, 1866), and I am glad to find that this little Syriac tract "on the Star" should have proved so interesting, not only to a linguist like himself, but also to a historical critic like Von Gutschmid.
With regard to the authenticity of the work, I am quite prepared to give it up, now that I have studied it more carefully myself, and have heard the opinion of Noeldeke and Ceriani, and the reasons on which that opinion is based. Considering the age of the manuscript, which certainly cannot be assigned to a later date than the sixth century, there can, I think, be but little doubt that this tract is the production of a writer who lived not long after the time of Eusebius----say, towards A.D. 400 ----and who made use in composing it of the first and second books of the Maccabees, the Chronicle of Eusebius, the works of Ctesias, and the writings of one or two other ancient chroniclers.
With regard to my translation, I have done, on the present occasion, precisely as heretofore ; that is to say, I have striven to be as accurate and literal as possible, my main object being to translate, not to comment and annotate. The names of the Assyrian and Median kings, from Ascatades down to Astyages, I have reproduced in Greek letters.a This will convey to such of my readers as are not orientalists, some idea of the corrupt state of the manuscript. The names themselves, as well as those of the Persian kings from Cyrus to the last Darius, may, |151 in general, be easily identified and restored by referring to the lists of Ctesias (ed. Müller, appended to Dindorf s Herodotus, 1844), Eusebius (Chronicon bipartitum, ed. Aucher, Yenice, 1818; Chronicorum Canonum libri duo, ed.

London, September, 1866.
a I had written "Greek uncials," but for printers' reasons I have had to submit to the use of small type.
I WILL write and inform thee, our dear brother, concerning the righteous of old, and concerning the handing down of the histories of their deeds ; and how, and through what, the Magi recognized the Star, and came and worshipped our Lord with their offerings ; partly from the Holy Scriptures, and partly as we have found in the true chronicles, which were written and composed by men of old in various cities.
The ancient scribes testify, that everything which was written by the care of Jason in five large books,1 from the year 88 of the kingdom of the Greeks till the year 177 (B.C. 223----134), they themselves abridged hastily in two books, from the year 137 (B.C. 174), omitting also the things that were done within the space of fifty years. But as regards other things, with the care that they took, they entered into the repository of the archives of their fathers, where were written and deposited the acts of the remaining histories of the Prophets, which were not written in the books of the Prophets ; and they found in the chronicles, that the Tabernacle of Witness which Moses made, and the Ark which he constructed, and the Altar of Propitiation which he consecrated,----these the Prophet Jeremiah took, and concealed them in a cave of the mountain on which Moses used to pray.2 And they also found in these chronicles, that the fire which Moses received from Heaven, and with which the priests used to minister, till the time they went |152 down to Babylon, ---- it too was found to have been buried and concealed by Jeremiah the Prophet in a pit which was in watery ground;3 and after seventy years it was discovered; and with it the captive priests used to minister on the altar, until the appearance of our Lord. And many other things, which the scribe Aristobulus and his colleagues 4 had written in the book of records, and in the epistles of the kings of the house of David and Hezekiah and Josiah and their companions,5 were written and deposited (there). And when they had found them, they collected them, and wrote them out in the volumes of their books. And through the care of these ancient writers, when they saw that the Jews went to the city of Tyre to praise Herakles, a hero of the Greeks,6 ---- this too they put into writing; and that Andronicus used treachery towards Onias, the high priest and a famous man, and slew him at Daphne, which lies by Antioch, without any crime,7 ----not even this did they neglect.
And it was found in the true chronicles of the Persians, which were written and deposited there from ancient generations, that Jerusalem was a warlike city from its (earliest) days, and did not make much account of kings, and great fortresses were in the midst of it.
And when Sihon, the king of the Amorites, was slain, Moses said : "Now is fulfilled that which was spoken in the ancient proverbs : 'A fire shall go out of Heshbon, and a flame from the city of Sihou, and shall devour the city of Moab, and all the worshippers of the altars of Arnon.'"8 And when Moses heard that this was written in the books of the Amorites, he too added and put it into his book.
And when King Saul persecuted David, David recited to him some of the ancient proverbs, and said: '"From the wicked proceedeth wickedness, but verily my hand shall not be upon thee ;' and because of this my hand is not upon thee, but the hand of the Lord hath power over thee."9
And when the people went up from Babylon, and there was a great strife concerning their going up, king Darius commanded, and the books of the records and acts of the preceding kings were called for ; and there was found among their chronicles a roll,10 in which was written : "I truly, Cyrus, king |153 of Persia, have commanded that the people of the Hebrews should go up from Babylon to Jerusalem, along with the vessels of the service of the house of the Lord." And when king Darius heard this, he too affixed his seal to this order, and commanded that, whosoever should disobey this order, a beam should be pulled down from his house, and they should make it into a cross, and hang him upon it, and that his house should be given up to plunder.11 And he added of his own (goods) expenses for the house of the Lord.12
And Job, whose time was anterior to that of Moses, ---- before that Moses narrated the history of the creation of Adam, Job said unto his friends, as he had found in the tradition of the generations before him : "This we have found in the world, since Adam was created upon the earth. Who is he that made man upon the face of the earth?" 13 And to his Lord he said: "What shall I do unto Thee, O Maker of man ? in return for Thy hands, which have laboured and made me, and fashioned me and framed me, when Thou didst curdle me like cheese of milk."14
Moses himself too found many things, which were going down and coming by tradition from mouth to ear, from one generation to another ; and he put them into his book, although he left out many things which could not be comprised (in it). For that which is said of Abraham, that he was enjoining his children and his household to keep the commandments of the Lord,15 is older than the laws of Moses by four hundred and thirty years. For these commandments, which Abraham was enjoining his household (to keep), were received by him, as it were by tradition, from Shem ; and Shem too received them from his father Noah ; and Noah received them from Enoch ; and Enoch received them from Adam ; and Adam received them from his Lord. For the barbarous races who keep (the commandments) 'Thou shalt not kill,' and 'Thou shalt not steal,' and 'Thou shalt not commit adultery,' and destroy wizards,16 and so forth, ---- this is not (done) as it were by the law of Scripture, but by the law of the mind of ancient tradition, which is older than the law that Moses wrote. For it was not of the law of Scripture that Joseph was afraid, and did not come nigh unto |154 his master's wife;17 nor was it of the law of Scripture that the king of Gedar18 (Gerar) was afraid; he and his nobles, and did not come nigh unto Rebecca; nor was it of the law of Scripture that Lot was afraid, and said to the people of Sodom, "Do not do this disgraceful and shameful thing to the men who have entered under the shadow of my roof;19 but of that law and mind which was born with the ancient generations, and went on, and came by tradition of their children down to the time of Moses, who put into writing those things which were written on the tablets of the heart; for "the law was added because of falling away."20
And as many things, which Moses also neglected, are found in chronicles that were written and laid up, so too the history of the Star which the Magi saw, was found in a chronicle which was written and laid up in Arnon, the border of the Moabites and Ammonites. And this history was taken from the place in which it was written, and was conveyed away and deposited in the fortress of Achmethan,21 which is in Persia. Because that, in the time of Moses, and both before and after Moses, the Assyrians were lords over the land of the Moabites and of the Ammonites, where Balaam said, "A Star shall rise out of Jacob, and a Head shall arise in Israel."22 And it was not merely over the land of the children of Lot that the Assyrians were lords, but also over the land of Sihon and of Og, the kings of the Amorites, and over the whole land of Palestine, and over Phoenicia, and Syria, and all Mesopotamia; seeing that the nations sent up tribute to them, as if subdued under their hands, and gave them hostages, and offered them crowns of victory. And whenever one place rebelled against another, and they commenced war against one another, (word) was written and sent to the Assyrian kings, and as they commanded, so it was (done), and those who rebelled received chastisement.
And along with these things, both the deeds which Moses did in inner Arabia, and in outer Arabia, and in Rekem of Gea, and in the regions which were round about the cities of Moab, and the history of the Star, which Balaam spoke, and so forth;----these things the princes and judges of those places |155 wrote down, and sent and made them known ; and they were read before ασκρτοσ, the king of the Assyrians, who was reigning at the time in which they were done. And he commanded, and the record of these matters was deposited in the fortress of Achmethan, where they were preserved among the books of the kings of Assyria, as was also the custom in other countries.
And after ασκρτσ [ασκδτσ], there reigned after him αμυντοσ there in Assyria, when Moses was between the Amorites and the Edomites, and had come to the city of Petra, which is called in the language of Mesopotamia Rekem of Gea.
And when the people encamped over against 'Ad'ira, which is 'Adu'ira (Aroer), that lies in the valley of Arnon, which separates the Midianites, the children of Kentura (Keturah), the concubine of Abraham, from the children of Lot, Abraham's brother's sou, in the days of Balak the son of Zippor, the king of the Moabites ; and when Balak saw the people that were with Moses, which had come near to his borders, he despised them, and neglected the wars which he had witnessed ; how Sihon, king of the Amorites, who had taken possession by war of the land of the Moabites, carrying away hostages from the Moabites, was not able to stand before this people, who had slain him and destroyed him at Jahaz;23 nor was the king of Canaan, who dwelt in the south, able to stand before this people, and they called his place a devoted place.24 Of these things Balak, the king of Moab, was afraid, and he trembled, and was frightened to wage war with Moses, before whom neither the kings of Egypt had stood, nor the kings of other very mighty nations, nor had even the terrible sea itself dared to stand before Moses. And Balak called the elders of the Midianites and his nobles, and said to them:25 "This Moses, who, lo, has terrified the whole earth, and slain the kings that were around us,----and behold, the people that are with him are |156 grazing on our land as the ox that grazeth in the field, ---- is he not that Moses, who was made the overseer and shepherd of Jethro, the priest of your gods, whom ye received as a guest, and who was protected among you as a stranger ? And lo, today he is expelling us from our lands, and driving us out of our territories. But let us abstain from war, and let us send and call Balaam the soothsayer, to come and curse them ; because they are the children of Jacob, who trembled and was afraid of the curses of his father Isaac, as we have all heard from our fathers." And they sent after Balaam the soothsayer. And the messengers went and found him at Urem,26 which is situated over against Turär, the eastern (part) of Mesopotamia; and they said to him : "The king of the Moabites, and the princes of the Midianites, have sent us after thee, that thou mayest go with us and curse the people that has come out of Egypt." But Balaam, through his craftiness, because he knew that the power of his word was not sufficient to enable him to do this, and to stand before six hundred thousand drawers of the sword, laid hold of a pretext, and said to those who had come after him : "Be ye witnesses unto me henceforth, that I fear lest perchance the Lord should not permit me to curse the people and destroy it by means of words and maledictions." And when he went unto Balak the king, instead of the curses which he was looking to hear from him, he heard blessings from him. And when Balaam saw that Balak began to be vexed with him, because, instead of curses, he heard from him something which he did not expect, Balaam said unto Balak : "The . princes whom thou didst send after me, can testify that I said unto them, 'Whatever the Lord sayeth unto me, I will say, and not what Balak says unto me, who has sent you unto me.' And upon this condition I arose and came with them unto thee, to tell thee that the legions of the Chittites and the armies of the Greeks are about to issue forth from the whole land of the Macedonians, and to subdue the Assyrians in wrath and the |157 land of Nimrod in anger.27 And after this happens, then shall rise the Star out of the children of Jacob,28 whom thou didst wish to keep in darkness ; and the Head shall arise in Israel, to come and destroy whom thou didst send after me ; and He shall destroy their mighty men, and shall subdue the whole seed of Seth the son of Adam." But Balak the king and his nobles,----when they heard that the mighty Assyrians, who were rulers over them, were going to be subdued under the yoke of the king of the Greeks, and the whole earth (was going to be subjected) to Him on whose account the Star was going to rise, destroying their mighty men,----laid aside the fear of the people who were abiding over against them.
But that king Balak might not come to disgrace and (incur) the punishment of death from amunts king of the Assyrians, he wrote and informed him of the things that Balaam said. And he commanded, and the letter was laid up in his archives, as was written above ; and they received this writing, this history being handed down and coming from people to people through the whole land of the Assyrians.
But the Assyrians, because they were born and brought up in the doctrine of the Chaldaeans (astrologers) of their country and of the soothsayers their countrymen, according to what they had received from their mother Babylon, from whom, began astrology and soothsaying and magic, just as from Egypt (began) incantation,----on this account they received the word of Balaam the soothsayer, the disciple of Babylon, and were not able to refuse credit to his word, lest the whole doctrine, on which they took their stand, should be proved false; for Balaam was called "the soothsayer," because of the doctrine of astrology in which he was brought up. And as to his being besides called a prophet, because his word turned out true in regard to the legions of the Chittites which issued forth, and about the Star which arose,----although in these things indeed he was true and trustworthy, yet because he was a false witness, and said : "I see no iniquity in Israel,"29 the children of Jacob slew him" as a liar.
To be brief,----the tradition of the history of Balaam was handed down and came from king αμυντροσ (αμυντοσ) to king |158 βχοσ (βλχοσ), in whose days Othniel the son of Kenaz was ruler over the Hebrews.
And from βχοσ (βλχοσ) to king βλπτωρ (or βλφτωρ), in whose days Ehur (Ehud) killed Eglon the king of the Moabites.
And from (λ)βκροσ (or βχροσ)30 to king πραιρσ, in whose days the Philistines subdued the Hebrews.
And from πραιροσ (πραιδοσ) to king σωροσ, in whose days the Hebrews were delivered from beneath the hand of their enemies.
And from σωροσ to king πλμροσ, in whose days Jael killed Sisera the general.
And from (λ)πλμροσ to king πισοσ, in whose days Gideon slew the children of Midian.
And from (λ)πισοσ to king σρσμοσσ; in whose days Abimelech slew his seventy brethren.
And from σρμοσσ to king μνθροσ, in whose days died Tola, the son of Abimelech's uncle.
And from (λ)μνθροσ to king τομοσ, in whose days Nephthah (Jephthah) offered his daughter a sacrifice to God.
And from (λ)τομσοσ to king τυασσ, in whose days Samson died among the Philistines.
And from (λ)τυασσ to king θινοσ, in whose days died (Eli) 31 the high priest.
And from (λ)θινοσ 32 to king δρκλσ, in whose days Saul was slain on the hill of the Gibeonites, and David became king.
And from (λ)δκλσ (δρκλσ) to king ευπλσ, in whose days Solomon sat upon the regal throne.
And from (λ)ευπλσ to king αθνοσ, in whose days Jeroboam became king over Israel.
And from (λ)αθνοσ to king πτραιοσ; in whose days (Azariah) the son of Azur 33 (Oded) the prophet said unto king Asa : "Because this people listened not unto the voice of the Lord |159 their God, there was no peace either to him that went out or to him that came in."
And from (λ)πραιοσ to king φτριοσ, in whose days the Lord smote Jehoram the son of Athaliah, the sister of Ahab, and his bowels came forth from his inside, and he died.
And from (λ)φρτισ to king ακρπζσ, in whose days Joash was slain by his servants.
And from (λ)βπρσ to king θισκων, in whose days Uzziah was smitten with leprosy.
And from (λ)θισκων to king αρβκσ, in whose days Menachem reigned over Israel.
And from αρβκσ to king σωσρμσ, in whose days Jotham built the gates of the house of the Lord.
And from σωσρμοσ to king μρκιοσ, in whose days Hezekiah opened the gates of the house of the Lord, which had been closed by Ahaz his father.
And from king (λ)μρκοσ, in whose days Manasseh made the image with four faces, to king αιρκσ, in whose days Manasseh returned and came up from Babylon, because he knew that the Lord was God.
And from (λ)αρικσ to king φρατροσ, in whose days Josiah burned the bones of the priests.
And from φρτροσ to king κυβσρσ, in whose days Daniel and Hananiah and their companions were led away captive to Babylon.
And from κυβσροσ to king αστβυγσ, in whose days the Babylonians laid waste Jerusalem.
And from αστιβγσ to Cyrus the king of the Persians, who proclaimed the return to the children of Israel, that they should go up from Babylon to Jerusalem.
All these kings of the Assyrians, from the days of Moses to Cyrus the Persian, were on their guard and watching to see when the word of Balaam would be fulfilled; and when the legions of the Chittites would issue forth from the land of the Macedonians ; and how would be devastated the lands and regions of all Asia, and the city of Ephesus, and the districts of Pontus, and Galatia, and Cilicia, and all Syria, and the spacious country of Mesopotamia and of all the Parthians; and (how) they would pass on to Nineveh, the city of Nimrod, the first of all mighty men, and would wage war violently with the Assyrians, and conquer them and subdue them. |160
When then the Assyrians saw that their kingdom was taken away from them, and was given to the Persians, they thought that the great war of the Chittites too, of which they had been afraid, had passed away from them. For although at different times the Assyrians had had wars of and by themselves,----when the Babylonians waged war with them, and took away from them the kingdom ; and again the Medes waged war with the Babylonians, and took away the kingdom from them also; and the Persians also waged war with the Medes, and the Persians conquered and won the kingdom;----yet they had had no fear in all these wars and struggles, because they knew that those who were overcome, were the brethren and associates of those who were victorious. For neither was it possible that Cyrus the Persian should succumb in war, because that in the days of Isaiah the prophet the gates of victory had been opened before Cyrus ; nor was it possible that the gates should be shut in his face, because he was called the Anointed of the Lord.34
And after Cyrus the Persian reigned Cambyses, at whose word Syria was laid waste, and Phnicia, and Palestine, and other countries.
And from Cambyses (the tradition was handed down) to the first Darius, in whose days Ezra the scribe rebuilt the desolate places of Jerusalem.
And from Darius to king Artachshasht, in whose days Sanballat and Shimshai the scribe were hindering the people from rebuilding the desolate places of Jerusalem.
And from Artachshasht to king .....,35 in whose days went up the remnant which had remained in Babylon, and some of the children of the captivity of the people.
And from ..... to another Darius, in whose days went up Ezra the scribe, he and the priests and the Lévites, and were walking upon the wall of Jerusalem, and repeating the psalms of David for the completion of the building.
And from Darius to the last Artachshasht, in whose days the |161 furniture of Eliashib was thrown out into the street, because he had made for himself a house in the court of the house of God.36
And from Artachshasht to the last Darius, who is the ram that Daniel foresaw,37 butting westward and northward and southward ; and there came a he-goat, and the legions of the Chittites with him, as Balaam had said, and waged war with Darius, king of the Medes and Babylonians and Assyrians and Persians, and overcame him, and slew him, and ravaged the people who were with him, and cast him down, and subdued the Assyrians under his power, and made them tributary to the kingdom of the Greeks, which was of old subject to the power of the Assyrians. The kingdom of the Jews too, which had also been subject to the children of the East, passed under the power of the Greeks.
And when the Persians saw that the word of Balaam had turned out true and become a fact, they were also specially concerned to see when the Star would arise and become visible, about which he spoke, meditating what might perchance happen at its rising, and whence it would appear, and concerning whom it would testify.
And after this Darius, whom Alexander the king of the Greeks slew, there arose king ARSUN, in whose days cities were increased in their buildings in the land of Syria.38
And from (L)ARSUN (the tradition was handed down) to king ARTMRSUS, in whose days the Books of the Hebrews were translated into Greek.
And from (L)ARTMRSUS to king ATISHCHU, in whose days lived Jesus the son of Simeon, the priest, who was called Bar-Sira (the son of Sirach or Siracides).
And from (L)TISHIS to king APTSHURS (or APHTSHURS), in whose days the impure Jason 39 received from the king of the Greeks the power over the children of his people ; and he wrote the children of his people by the name of Antiochians 40 through the praises of Herakles.41
And from (L)APTSHURS to king PRIDUS, in whose days the senators (συγκλητικοί) of the Romans wrote to the cities letters of greeting regarding the party of Jonathan and Simeon (Simon), the sons of Mattathias.42 |162
And from (L)MPRUS to king ASTRUS, in whose days Arshak (Arsaces) the Parthian waged war with the king of the Greeks and slew him.
And from (L)MPIZRUS to king ANSCUS, in whose days the kingdom of the Greeks was cut off.
And from (L)ISCUS 43 to king PIRSHBUR (Pir-Shabur?), in whose days Augustus Caesar reigned over the Roman empire. And in his days was the glorious manifestation of our adored Saviour. And therefore in the days of this PIRSHBUR, who was called ZMRNS, there appeared the Star, both transformed in its aspect, and also conspicuous by its rays, and terrible and grand in the glorious extent of its light. And it overpowered by its aspect all the stars that were in the heavens, as it inclined to the depth, to teach that its Lord had come down to the depth, and ascended again to the height of its nature, to show that its Lord was God in His nature.
And when the Persians saw it, they were alarmed and afraid, and there fell upon them agitation and trembling, and fear got the mastery over them. And it was visible to the inner depths of the East alone ; and the Persians, and the Huzites,44 and the other peoples that were around them, knew that this was what Balaam had foretold ; and this apparition and news flew through the whole East : "The king of Persia is preparing splendid offerings and gifts and presents, and is sending them by the hands of the Magi, the worshippers of fire." And because the king did not know where the Messiah was born, he commanded the bearers of the offerings, (saying): "Keep going towards the Star, and walking on the road along which it runs before you ; and by day and night keep observing its light."
And when they set forth with the sun from their country, in which this sun (of ours) is born every day, the Star too with its rays was running on before them, accompanying them and going with them, and becoming as it were an attendant of theirs. And they halted in many places, passing by large fortified towns, and (through) various foreign tongues and different garbs, that were unlike to one another. And they halted outside of the cities, and not inside of the cities, until they reached the gates of Jerusalem, over which the Star stood still, entering and alarming Jerusalem and its inhabitants, and terrifying also the kings and priests. |163
And when they had entered within the gates of the city, it was concealed from them. And when the Magi saw that neither the kings, nor the priests, nor the chiefs of the people perceived the coming of the Messiah, and the Star was concealed, they knew that, because they were not worthy, they did not perceive the birth of the Son, nor were they worthy to behold the Star.
And when the Magi saw that the Star was hidden from them, they went forth by night from the city ; and at that very moment the Star appeared unto them ; and they went after the apparition of it, until it descended and stood still over the cave of Bethlehem, where was born the Messiah. And in that hour they opened their treasures, and offered unto Him many presents and gifts of offerings, bowing down in adoration before the Messiah, that their offerings might be accepted, and that they might be delivered from the hateful treachery which they had seen in Jerusalem, and might reach their own country without fear, and might carry back word to those who had sent them of what they had seen and heard.
And when they had made their offerings and passed the night there, the Star too stopped with them above the cave. And when they rose early in the morning to set out for their country, it was for the second time running on and going before them on the way, which was different from the former one; and until they had entered their city, it did not quit them, nor was it concealed as on the former occasion.
And when they had entered into the presence of the king who had sent them, they narrated to him all that they had heard and seen. These things too were written down there in inner Persia, and were stored up among the records of the deeds of their kings, where was written and stored up the history of the legions of the Chittites and the account of this Star, that they might be preserved where were preserved the histories of the ancients.
But Joseph and Mary, when they saw the treachery of king Herod and the envy of the Scribes and Pharisees, arose and took the Child, and went to a foreign country and of a barbarous tongue; and there they dwelt for the space of four |164 years, during which Herod continued to reign after (their flight). And at the commencement of the reign of Herod's son, they arose and went up from that land to the country of Galilee, Joseph and Mary, and our Lord along with them, and the five sons of Hannah (Anna), the first wife of Joseph. But Mary and our Lord were dwelling together in the house in which Mary received the Annunciation from the holy Angel.45
* * * * * * * *
and eleven, in the second year of the coming of our Saviour, in the consulship of Caesar and of Capito, in the month of the latter Kanun, these Magi came from the East and worshipped our Lord at Bethlehem of the kings. And in the year four hundred and thirty (A.D. 119), in the reign of Hadrianus Caesar, in the consulship of Severus and of Fulgus, in the episcopate of Xystus, bishop of the city of Rome, this concern arose in (the minds of) men acquainted with the Holy Books; and through the pains of the great men in various places this history was sought for and found, and written in the tongue of those who took this care.
Here ends the Discourse on the Star, which was composed by Mar Eusebius of Caesarea.

Revised sketch for the Texas flag
Austin's original flag design was modified by a committee
Following the skirmish at Gonzales that marked the beginning of the Texas Revolution, the newly established provisional government sent three commissioners — Stephen Austin, William Wharton, and Branch Archer — to the United States in November 1835 to secure funding and recognition for Texas. As they traveled, they sketched this flag design for consideration as the new Texas flag.
The design is a revision of a flag initially suggested by Austin. His original design featured an English Jack in the canton to indicate the British origins of the North American people, with green and white stripes and a red star to represent Mexico. Archer and Wharton drew over Austin's design, adding a motto and replacing the star with a flaming sun and a medallion of George Washington.
Neither version of the flag was adopted by the Republic. Instead, a large gold star on a blue field was approved on December 10, 1836. Twenty-five months later, the "Lone Star" flag we know today became the official flag of the Republic of Texas. The design was retained as the official flag of the State of Texas when it joined the United States in 1846.

Emily was born in Eaton, New York, and lived as a child in a cabin (Underhill Cottage) built by her grandfather Simeon Chubbuck a Revolutionary War soldier. The rustic cabin was located just off today's route 26 and the spot now sports a historic marker, though the cabin is long gone.
Emily's father never had much money and worked at a number of jobs including being a postman. Her mother came from a fine family that most likely thought she had married beneath her. So to help the family finances Emily was sent to work at a young age working for a woolen business, a silk thread business, and through need had to educate her self.
At 16 she walked to Nelson seeking the man who could hire her as a teacher, something that she did well, though in reality she made far less money as a teacher than as a worker.
Emily managed to start writing little books of a religious nature. Her mother, father & sister became stayed members of the Eaton 2nd Baptist Church thats pastor was Nathaniel Kendrick who became head of Madison University, today's Colgate. It is interesting to note however, that Emily did not join a church until later and she was chided by the locals who asked her, "When are you going to be saved?"
She eventually got a job at the Utica Seminary for woman where she bartered her education for teaching and made friends with the owners. Taking a trip to New York with a friend she was struck by the difference and glamorousness of the city and wrote a tongue and check letter to N P Willis, editor of the New York Mirror - asking if he would hire her. The letter was signed "Fanny Forester", which became a sensation for its day. Willis never paid her for her writings, but he did make her famous, and her many articles about her hometown and life on the Eatonbrook became a book entitled Alderbrook Tales. or Musings and Trippings in Authorland. These and her humorous pieces for the Mirror made Fanny Forester a well known name.
Fame did go to her head a bit, and she started enjoying spending time with friends in Philadelphia. It is there that she was introduced to a man 30 years her senior who was looking for someone to write a biography of his dead wife. The gentleman's name was Adoniram Judson, one of America's first Baptist Missionaries to Burma - a man who became a star in the Baptist circles that supported him. Emily ends up marrying him.
After the marriage she went back to Burma with Judson and becomes the missionary Emily C. Judson. Emily bore Judson two children, a girl who lived and a boy that died at the same time as her husband. After his death Emily returned to America and started writing poetry and pieces for the missions.
Sick with Tuberculous, Emily died a short time later - after having been three famous people... teacher Emily Chubbuck, writer Fanny Forester, and the missionary Emily C. Judson.
Her age at her death was only 37 years old... an interesting hometown woman that had been around the world and was an early woman writer of note!

She married a man 30 years younger, but she died at age 37? One of these must be a typo.ReplyDelete
It says the man was 30 years her senior, meaning 30 years older than her.ReplyDelete | <urn:uuid:8a071a19-ae78-40ef-acc1-f9114401c112> | CC-MAIN-2023-23 | http://backstreetmary.blogspot.com/2020/03/more-history-markersemily-chubbuck.html | 2023-05-27T23:58:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-23/segments/1685224643388.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20230527223515-20230528013515-00300.warc.gz | en | 0.992118 | 717 |
These are golden times for American satirists. After years of relentless brilliance, George Saunders finally seems to have crossed into the mainstream with his absurdist short-story collection “Tenth of December.” Now Sam Lipsyte seems to be making his move, backing up his smart and very funny 2010 novel “The Ask” with his own splashy compilation of short fiction, “The Fun Parts.”
Lipsyte is a more conventional writer than Saunders, but then again, who isn’t? Certainly the characters who populate his stories are more recognizable and the scenes often unfold in Manhattan and New Jersey, or a twisted version of those places — “Lipsyteland.” Lipsyte is most commonly praised for his hilarious flights of fancy, but he is also a perceptive observer, capable of impaling a lifestyle with one sparse aside.
One of the most fun parts of “The Fun Parts” is the story “The Wisdom of the Doulas.” It introduces us to Mitch, who is a “doulo” — a title he prefers to doula — working with the Grottwald family after the birth of their second child, Prague. Mitch is not a typical child-carer, and only an insignificant part of that is because he’s a man. Right off the bat, he informs us: “The Grottwald baby, well, he might only be two days old, but I can already predict he’s going to be a miserable little turd.”
His methods for clearing Mrs. Grottwald’s painfully clogged milk ducts would not be in any doula handbook, should such a thing exist, which in Lipsyteland it almost certainly does. The premise is silly, but never ridiculous.
Elsewhere, we meet the drug-addicted narrator of “The Worm in Philly,” who decides to escape his money troubles by writing a biography of the boxer Marvin Hagler. It should be a book for children, he believes, because they will respond to his triumph over extreme odds. Besides, he won’t have to write so many words, and that means he will be paid more quickly. That he has never written anything before should not be an impediment: he has faith that he is a natural “wordslinger.”
You may be noticing a trend here. Lipsyte’s characters are often feckless, invariably deluded and they will typically end the story in an even worse place than the unappealing one where they started. But their stories are told with tenderness and a surprising compassion, rather than being just a launch pad for gags.
This is partly because Lipsyte often writes about people who have endured a lifetime of being ridiculed. “Ode to Oldcorn” is narrated by a teenage boy who is in the school shot put team. He is obsessed with an old-time legend called Rick Oldcorn, who won gold at the 1968 Olympics, and eventually he meets him. In reality, Oldcorn is fat, disillusioned and wears “cop shades, a T-shirt for a titty bar.” He announces: “I want all the beer in your town. … And I want teen poot if that’s available. Let’s ride.”
Lipsyte is familiar with disappointment. His debut novel, “The Subject Steve,” was published on Sept. 11, 2001; his second, “Home Land,” was rejected by maybe 30 publishers. It would eventually win awards and was a New York Times “notable book of the year” in 2005.
But it was only with “The Ask” that reviews started to concentrate on what he was doing right, rather than his flaws.
Certainly some stories in “The Fun Parts” are more affecting than others. “The Climber Room” might just be my favorite and it contains a sentiment that sums up reality for all of Lipsyte’s protagonists: “It’s very hard. Here. In America. In the world.” | <urn:uuid:6c4b9019-0936-4a09-b468-c6f03f6f5f1b> | CC-MAIN-2016-36 | http://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2013/07/20/books/satirists-hilarious-stories-tenderly-feature-the-deluded-feckless/ | 2016-08-25T03:10:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-36/segments/1471982292734.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20160823195812-00091-ip-10-153-172-175.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.978449 | 878 |
I don't understand my homework assignment
Within the ingredients section of common household products, I need to find the names of organic compounds for which I can determine the functional group by name. Then, I need to name the household product/brand name, the chemical name and the organic functional group. An example I did would be: Lubriderm lotion (brand name), butylene glycol (chemical name), alcohol (functional group). I need more examples of these because I am stuck. As many examples as you can give would be SO helpful!
I need to look at plastic containers from consumer products. I must identify the recycling code and polymer name. You can use only one drinking container that is a bottle of water (which I already found). Here is an example that I figured out: Calistoga water (brand name), 1 PETE (recycling code) and polyethylene terphthalate (polymer name).
I need to look at ingredient labels of things in my home. Do not use the nutritional labels on foods packages but use the ingredients label! Examples... toothpaste, personal hygiene products, cosmetics. In the ingredients part of the label, find the names of INORGANIC chemical compounds for which you can write the correct formulas. If you do not know the formula, then find another compound! Then complete the table with 5 such compounds giving the name of the product including brand name, the chemical name and the chemical formula. No duplicate compounds.
Example I did: calistoga water (brand name), chemical name is water, chemical formula is h2o.
Thank you so much for any help you can give! | <urn:uuid:236d4890-8e30-48c2-85ab-d1a6b56dc73e> | CC-MAIN-2014-42 | http://www.chemicalforums.com/index.php?topic=34499.0 | 2014-10-31T19:15:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-42/segments/1414637900160.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20141030025820-00182-ip-10-16-133-185.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.913254 | 336 |

(Italian: Il Principe) is a 16th-century political treatise by the Italian diplomat and political theorist Niccolò Machiavelli. From correspondence a version appears to have been distributed in 1513, using a Latin title, De Principatibus (About Principalities). However, the printed version was not published until 1532, five years after Machiavelli’s death. This was done with the permission of the Medici pope Clement VII, but “long before then, in fact since the first appearance of the Prince in manuscript, controversy had swirled about his writings”. Although it was written as if it were a traditional work in the mirrors for princes style, it is generally agreed that it was especially innovative. This is only partly because it was written in the vernacular Italian rather than Latin, a practice which had become increasingly popular since the publication of Dante’s Divine Comedy and other works of Renaissance literature.
THE PRINCE is sometimes claimed to be one of the first works of modern philosophy, especially modern political philosophy, in which the effective truth is taken to be more important than any abstract ideal. It was also in direct conflict with the dominant Catholic and scholastic doctrines of the time concerning how to consider politics and ethics. Although it is relatively short, the treatise is the most remembered of Machiavelli’s works and the one most responsible for bringing the word “Machiavellian” into usage as a pejorative. It also helped make “Old Nick” an English term for the devil, and even contributed to the modern negative connotations of the words “politics” and “politician” in western countries. In terms of subject matter it overlaps with the much longer Discourses on Livy, which was written a few years later. In its use of near-contemporary Italians as examples of people who perpetrated criminal deeds for politics, another lesser-known work by Machiavelli which THE PRINCE has been compared to is the Life of Castruccio Castracani.
The descriptions within THE PRINCE have the general theme of accepting that the aims of princes-such as glory and survival-can justify the use of immoral means to achieve those ends:
“He who neglects what is done for what ought to be done, sooner effects his ruin than his preservation.”

An 8-year-old boy in Australia had high levels of lead, a toxic metal, in his blood for more than two years for unexplained reasons, until doctors found lead pellets in his body, trapped in an unlikely place, according to a new report of his case.
Doctors had tested the boy for toxins in looking for the cause of his unusually hyperactive behavior. They found levels of lead in his blood ranging from 17.4 to 27.4 microgram per deciliter, much higher than the level of 5 micrograms considered normal. But the source remained mysterious -- doctors couldn't find what the boy might have been touching, inhaling or eating, to have such high lead levels for months.
When the boy started to have a stomachache and was admitted to the hospital, the doctors did an x-ray, which revealed large numbers of small round objects in the boy's abdomen, according to the researchers, who published a case report in Aug. 8 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine. [9 Weird Ways Kids Can Get Hurt ]
The metallic-looking objects were in the lower right side of the boy’s abdomen, appearing to be inside the digestive tract. The doctors immediately gave the boy a bowel washout, which should have cleared any object within his digestive tract, but a second x-ray showed the objects had not moved.
The doctors suspected the unlikely scenario – the objects had to be in the boy's appendix.
In surgery, the doctors removed the boy’s appendix and cut it open, revealing 57 lead pellets trapped inside.
"It's one of those things you only see once in a life time," Dr. Ibrahim Zardawi, the pathologist who examined the appendix, told LiveScience. "I've been in medicine for almost 40 years now, and had never seen anything like this."
The boy’s appendix weighed 5 times heavier than normal when containing the pellets, but other than few tissue scars, it was normal and wasn’t inflamed. [See the image of the appendix with the pellets inside ]
It is highly unlikely for external objects to end up in the appendix, Zardawi said. Sometimes small fruit seeds such as tomato seeds may find a way through, but it’s a puzzle as to how so many pellets entered and became stuck in the boy's appendix, he said.
The pellets likely came from the geese the boy’s family regularly hunted and ate, they later told the doctors. The boy and his siblings said they had been eating the pellets as part of a game they played, to make the pellets disappear.
Lead is a heavy metal used in manufacturing batteries and plastics. It is strongly poisonous to humans when ingested or inhaled. Once in the body, lead circulates in the blood and small amounts can be excreted through urine or feces, but some can remain in the tissues, organs and bones. Symptoms of severe lead poisoning include confusion, seizures, coma and death.
"One important question to ask is, why not use copper pellets?" Zardawi said. The pellets used to kill the birds usually stay inside the animal, and the lead can be dangerous to other animals and to whoever eats the meat. The whole family had high levels of lead, he said.
Consuming just one lead pellet could have been enough to make the child seriously ill, Zardawi said.
In another case of lead poisoning from a mysterious source, a 4-year-old boy was brought to a hospital in Knoxville, Tenn., with symptoms of lead poisoning. As detailed in the report of his case, published in 1994 in the Journal Pediatric Surgery, it took the doctors several rounds of x-rays and bowel washouts to finally find a lead pellet trapped in his appendix. | <urn:uuid:3f4cab80-341c-445e-9d2c-c7d336eab333> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | https://www.livescience.com/38914-mysterious-lead-poisoning-pellets.html | 2019-05-26T00:52:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232258620.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20190526004917-20190526030917-00096.warc.gz | en | 0.977063 | 779 |

Police officer who got fired by vengeful superior fights on to get back his job
A police officer who was kicked out of the service by his senior is fighting to get back his job 15 months after the courts ruled in his favour.
Mr Lawrence Njue was dismissed from the service in August 2016 and after attempting all internal mechanisms to get his job back, it never happened.
He says that his woes started when he was attached to Dr John Kithaka the CEO Fountain Enterprise Program (FEP).
It is at the time that he was called by a senior officer who told him to ask his boss to help him get a job at FEP.
“He described FEP as a big company with many job vacancies. His request did not bear fruit since, at the time I was assigned to the CEO there, no job vacancies were available,” Mr Njue said.
He claims that after it proved hard to convince his boss, things started going south for him.
Mr Njue claims he was thereafter falsely charged with various offences including drug trafficking and being armed while taking alcohol inside bars.
His fate was eventually sealed when he was linked with a rogue officer known as Paul Martin, a known drug dealer with a case in court.
Mr Martin was arrested on September 1, 2020 alongside three others identified as Elizabeth Njoki Wanjiru, Ummy Salim and Nassoro Salid Salim in Mlolongo area.
Mr Njue insists that Mr Martin is an officer and his real name is Kennedy Malube but none of the people he has informed about the matter have ever done a background check as required.
On April 22, 2016, during a meeting held at Bomas of Kenya, he was disarmed following what he told Nairobi News were orders from above.
This saw him moved to North Horr in Marsabit County and he suspected that all this was done out of ill motive.
“I raised my complaints through the office of the then Senior Deputy Assistant Inspector General, Fred Mwei, who told me to hold on the transfer while an investigation was conducted on my complaint,” he said.
Mr Njue said that as he awaited the conclusion of the investigations he was accused of absenting himself from duty for 97 days and charged in absentia.
According to the National Police Service, one is declared a deserter when he absents himself from duty for 10 days.
Mr Njue wonders why did the service decide to accuse him of absenteeism after 97 days.
He also questions their decision to discuss his issue without consulting him or giving him any notice to attend.
It is then that he opted to go to court and won the case in February 2019.
In the court ruling issued on February 8, 2019, Judge Stephen Radido ordered the National Police Service to lift the suspension and further ordered the respondents to reinstate the petitioner to duty forthwith.
This is after the court found out that the petitioner had met the standard requirement of him.
Days later, Mr Njue realised that no one was keen on assigning him a new role after the long break and he reached out to the Independent Policing and Oversight Authority (IPOA) and the office of the Directorate of Public Prosecutions for help.
But all his efforts have so far failed to bear any fruits. | <urn:uuid:4926dbb9-4960-4e20-a982-98487e3832e6> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://nairobinews.nation.co.ke/police-officer-who-got-fired-by-vengeful-superior-fights-on-to-get-back-his-job/ | 2021-12-01T13:25:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964360803.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20211201113241-20211201143241-00455.warc.gz | en | 0.990402 | 710 |
Country Artists Share What They MUST Have While on the Road [Watch]
Country artists are on the road a lot! While touring, many acts just want to make their tour bus or time on the road feel like home, and they do that by bringing a few special things with them.
On the red carpet at the 2014 CMT Music Awards, Taste of Country Nights host Sam Alex stopped a few stars and asked them,” What is the one thing you have to have on the road with you?”
Some of their answers may surprise you.
Dustin Lynch, for one, likes to keep it simple. He just needs three things and he’s good to go. Thomas Rhett, on the other hand, brings his favorite boredom buster to help pass the time (Hint: it’s sports equipment).
A few country artists made it known that they can’t leave home without their favorite furry friends — and we don’t blame them! Food, beer and a few other odds and ends also make the list. Check out the video to find out who needs what! | <urn:uuid:1704f763-5c0a-4f74-a221-7722a40116c4> | CC-MAIN-2016-50 | http://k985.com/stars-must-haves-for-tour/ | 2016-12-02T18:29:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-50/segments/1480698540409.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20161202170900-00025-ip-10-31-129-80.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.975886 | 230 |
Bringing Up Baby was my first introduction to the world of classic film. It was also my first experience with the screwball comedy genre as well as Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant. With such an auspicious initiation, is it any wonder that I not only adore classic films, but that both Grant and Hepburn along with the screwball comedy genre remain my very favorites. No matter how many (countless) times I watch this picture, it never fails to entertain and to lift my spirits.SUMMARY
David Huxley is a paleontologist who is THIS close to completing the skeleton of a Brontosaurus. He just lacks installation of the final bone (the intercostal clavicle) and funding in the form of a million dollar donation by the wealthy Mrs. Carlton Random.

David’s meeting with Mrs. Random’s attorney, Mr. Peabody, is unfortunately disrupted by Susan Vance. After a meet cute filled with confusion, theft and mishaps, David is forced to reschedule his meeting for that same evening. However, David’s bad luck continues as he once again runs into Susan who once again ruins his meeting.
Susan, however is besotted and decides David is the man for her. Believing him to be a zoologist, Susan tracks him down to request his help. Her brother has sent a tame pet leopard as a gift for their aunt. Despite David’s refusal to help Susan deliver ‘Baby’, Susan coerces him by promising to speak to Mr. Peabody on his behalf. Unknown to David, Mrs. Random just happens to be Susan’s aunt.
David and Susan head off to the family’s Connecticut farm to deliver Baby. But Susan being Susan, everything that can go wrong does. Add in the family dog George who buries the intercostal clavicle, an escaped killer leopard, a visit from a family friend who is a big-game hunter and Susan’s introduction of David as a man recovering from a nervous breakdown and you’ve got the recipe for one of the funniest movies ever.

What are Porcelain Veneers?
Veneers are porcelain sheaths that we place on top of your natural teeth, making your smile more beautiful yet not changing the functionality. Their ultimate function is to make a variety of aesthetic enhancements to your smile.
For example, if you have cracks, chips, or gaps in your teeth, you could use veneers. Additionally, if your teeth show discoloration, veneers help to bring back a beautiful shine. Many of our patients also use veneers to elongate or straighten the appearance of their teeth.
The Porcelain Veneer Procedure
When you visit our office, we will gather some information about your oral history and your smile goals. With this information, we will determine if porcelain veneers can help you attain your dream smile. If porcelain veneers are right for you, then we will scan your smile using our advanced technology.
Next, we will prepare your teeth by removing a small amount of enamel from the teeth on which we are placing veneers. After this process, we will send you home with temporary veneers until we can place your permanent veneers.
Once we create your veneers, we will then bond them to your teeth. In some cases, gum recontouring is necessary to create the beautiful, elongated smile you want. In these circumstances, we will consult you ahead of time to tell you the best approach to getting the smile of your dreams.
A Candidate for Porcelain Veneers
If you dislike your smile for any aesthetic reason, you could benefit from porcelain veneers. Anyone who has cracks, chips, gaps, or discoloration could get a brand new smile with veneers. However, we won’t know what the best treatment is for you until you come in for a consultation with our team at Dr. Richard Crosby General & Cosmetic Dentistry.
Benefits of Veneers
Veneers are the perfect solution to a variety of changes to your smile. If you dislike anything about the appearance of your teeth, you might enjoy the beautifying effects of dental veneers. For instance, porcelain veneers offer the following benefits.
- Gain confidence with a beautiful new smile. Dental veneers can change the aesthetics of your teeth and gums. This means that you can have a whole new smile without making any functional changes to your natural teeth. With a new, perfect smile, you will also gain confidence by flashing your pearly white teeth.
- Veneers are long-lasting—as long as you care for them. Since veneers bond to your teeth, you must brush and floss as you would with your natural teeth. Additionally, continue visiting your dentist every six months for routine dental cleanings to ensure a healthy smile.
- You will have minimally invasive, fast results. When you get veneers, you only have to visit your dentist twice. During your first visit, we will prepare your teeth and send you home with temporary veneers. Then, on your next visit, we will place your permanent veneers and send you on your way with a brand new smile.
- You’ll gain a healthier smile. Gaps and crooked teeth can actually harm your smile because bacteria can grow in those hard-to-reach spots. When you get dental veneers, we’ll fill those cracks and gaps so they’re easier to clean and maintain.
Due to these benefits, our patients love their new dental veneers. If you could benefit from dental veneers, reach out to Dr. Crosby to discuss your cosmetic dentistry options.

WIFI CONNECTION PROBLEMS
I have a very strong wireless signal, but I am unable to connect to the internet while at a resort in Cancun Mexico.
Currently, internet connections use the TCP/IP protocol, (Transmition Control Protocol / Internet Protocol). Indeed, your browser and your email programs both use TCP/IP to connect to the internet.
This protocol should really be named TCP/IPv4, and offers about 4 billion addresses. Unfortunately, the world is fast running out of addresses, hence the introduction of the TCP/IPv6 protocol.
Very briefly, TCP/IPv4 is based on a 32 bit address, while TCP/IPv6 is based on a 128 bit address. This will allow a staggering amount of addresses (3.4 with 38 zero's).
As it is introduced, TCP/IPv6 is initially used in a dual stack mode IPv4/IPv6. This will usualy not create a problem, however, under some Hotel IPv4 setups where an authentication of your computer is required, your Windows XP or Windows Vista computer will not be able to connect to the internet.
Uninstall TCP/IPv6, and use TCP/IP or TCP/IPv4 by itself.
(Left Click) Control Panel and select Network Connections:
on any internet connection and select Properties
on TCP/IPv6 and select Uninstall.
As with the uninstall process, you will have to open up the Network Connection Properties window. The example above was with the wireless connection, but any connection can be selected, since this protocol is used for all internet connections. To illustrate this, we are re-installing TCP/IPv6 via the Local Area Connection Properties window.
This window will open, and you may have to slide the cursor down until you see Protocol. Select Protocol and press on Add...
Select Microsoft TCP/IPversion6 and press OK. | <urn:uuid:3acdaba4-5690-437d-b807-e86eeaadb37b> | CC-MAIN-2022-21 | https://www.am-novice.com/US/Computer/network/wifi-connection-problems.html | 2022-05-24T03:32:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-21/segments/1652662562410.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20220524014636-20220524044636-00574.warc.gz | en | 0.843246 | 434 |
Garden Grocer was everything you could want from a service like this-- organized, timely, cost-effective, courteous, and thorough. After placing the order online we didn't have to do anything at all-- we received appropriate text updates when our order was delivered (even though we weren't present when it arrived at the hotel), the order was packaged thoughtfully and perishables were kept refrigerated. The friendly follow-up to make sure everything went smoothly was also appreciated. Having the hotel room fully stocked upon arrival with breakfast options, snacks, baby essentials, and wine made the trip so much easier and more enjoyable. Would highly recommend using Garden Grocer!
I have recommended Garden Grocer to at least 10 people who agree you provide some of the best Customer Service around!!
Fantastic service! I received an email and phone confirmation when I placed my order. I also received a text confirmation once my order was delivered to the resort in Disney World. My order was right and I couldn't have asked for anything more. They made everything so easy and it saved me so much time and effort. Great experience for my first time using Garden Grocer, I will be ordering again on my next trip to WDW!

Hi Matt 12,
There is a compatability issue between the Streamlined Euro Pin base and the Chinook Euro Pin universal pin.
If I remember correctly, the distance from the bottom surface of the Streamlined bases works prefectly with the North (and most of the others as the North "Hardcore" system was the original standard here along with Mistral/F2/Arrows), but if you try to use the Streamlined Extension on the Chinook versoin of the Euro pin, the placement of the groove that engages the locking clip (spring wire or a flat plate slider) is a little shorter, and the lock clip/slider will not engage.
You can "fix" this with a few strokes of a file across the bottom of the plastic mast base adapter to shorten the distance up to the lock clip/slider, but then your base will be a little loose on the std. North/Mistral/ most common Euro Pin bases.
Another fix (doesn't work on the new all SS Chinook base assemblies) is to simply get a North pin, a little Loc-Tite, and change the pin.
I've also run into a problem with some of the bases now being made in China for Starboard and others. They use a flat slider plate instead of a wire spring clip, and they do not radius the inside of the "jaws" so if your mast base pin has a radius, it won't engage as the flat vetical surfaces in the "jaws" of the slider plate won't go over the radius in the bottom of the groove on the pin.
Hope this helps, | <urn:uuid:8fb0f742-a9e7-46c7-a2be-7635c3d2a0de> | CC-MAIN-2014-23 | http://www.star-board.com/forum/showpost.php?p=18707&postcount=3 | 2014-07-31T05:40:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-23/segments/1406510272584.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20140728011752-00460-ip-10-146-231-18.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.901822 | 336 |
Political Party Building and Development
The main objective of this program is to orient groups and individuals on “genuinely principled” political parties and help them build it. IAG believes that a genuinely principled political party is the basic building block and catalyst for change in the current and future political system in the Bangsamoro region and the Philippines as a whole.
This program gives a chance for individuals to be able to appreciate and interact with co-participants and speakers on politics and political parties in a different perspective. It will seek to expose individuals and groups to the possible roles and responsibilities of joining a political party and the mechanisms that make an authentic party work, steering clear from the current political system into the right track of political process: active participation in politics and the entire political spectrum through the political party. The specialized activities aim to (1) deepen the understanding of the nature, history, concept and practice of political parties in the Muslim region and the Philippines; (2) develop a critical awareness amid the current realities of how political parties are practiced in the Philippines and consequently, here in Mindanao; (3) familiarize the participants on the important processes and principles of building and joining a “genuinely principled” political party; and (4) start a foundation of principled and sustainable political parties banking on informed minds (graduates/recipients of the course) that promote healthy political competition and citizen participation in nation building beneficial to the advancement of democracy, contributing to further democratic growth.
Promoting Political Dialogue for Peace in the Bangsamoro
IAG’s Political Dialogue program seeks to help shape a stable political environment in support of the Mindanao peace process. It engages political leaders in dialogue, capacity-building, research and studies to enhance their informed and principled participation in the crafting and implementation of the roadmap and processes for sustainable peace and development in Mindanao. This program serves as a platform to enhance the productive role and participation of political leaders and local government units in the evolution and implementation of the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro (CAB) and the Bangsamoro Organic Law (BOL). It provides technical assistance in institutionalizing the constructive role of political leaders and local government units and their relations with the regional government in regional legislations such as the regional local government and administrative laws.
Mainstreaming Indigenous Peoples’ Rights in the BARMM
This program focuses on capacity building for the empowerment and strengthening of Indigenous Peoples’ self-governance as well as advocacy for socio-legal and administrative reforms in the BARMM.
IAG is committed to the development of public policies that promote and protect the rights and welfare of Indigenous Peoples especially in conflict and fragile environments. Autonomy and good governance as paths for peace in the southern Philippines must be responsive to the needs and protection of vulnerable groups most affected by instability and insecurity.
IAG implemented the EU-funded IPDEV, a three-year Indigenous Peoples baseline and advocacy project (2012-2015), that built a strong foundation for informing its policy development work toward the protection and promotion of the rights of Non-Moro Indigenous Peoples.
Rule of Law
The Rule of Law program seeks to promote access to justice in a conflict and post-conflict environment. In the envisioned Bangsamoro, the justice system shall have three sub-systems: Shari’ah law, civil courts and indigenous tribal justice system. Alternative dispute resolution is a theme across the 3 sub-systems. IAG contributes to the promotion of the rule of law by strengthening the policies and practice in the 3 sub-systems of justice in the Bangsamoro.
This program adopts the following strategies: 1) Research and developing accurate and relevant baseline data on access to justice towards the formulation of a justice index in the Bangsamoro; 2) Policy research and advocacy towards progressive policies and implementation of the Bangsamoro justice system; 3) Training and capacity building for lawyers, law professors, counsellors, para-legals and court personnel; 4) Developing modules for law schools and public administration courses in colleges and universities; 5) Awareness raising on the state and measures to make the Bangsamoro justice system relevant and effective in resolving disputes. IAG is partnering with relevant institutions such as the Supreme Court and the Philippine Judicial Academy and the Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP), Philippine Association of Law Schools (PALS) and laws schools and centers for Shariah Law and Islamic Studies in the Bangsamoro.
Promoting Good Governance in the Autonomous Regional Government and Local Government Units
This program trains, mentors and provides technical assistance to promote efficiency, transparency, accountability and citizens’ participation in the affairs of the autonomous regional government and local government units. It adopts the needs-driven, participatory and collaborative approaches in introducing, developing and entrenching good governance practices in regional and local laws and policies.
It helps LGUs optimize their potentials for local resource generation through tax mapping and efficient collection of taxes and fees, tax information campaigns and client-friendly and efficient business licensing and regulatory practices and in promoting the environment for enhanced business activities in their localities.
It trains and assists LGUs in achieving milestones in transparency and accountability such as getting the Seal of Good Housekeeping and compliance with the Anti-Red Tape Act (ARTA).
This program promotes civil society participation in local governance by strengthening local development bodies and local special bodies which by law have strong citizen participation. It orients LGUs on accreditation of civil society groups for membership in local bodies. The program provides training to civil society organizations (CSOs) on ways by which they can actively monitor ad participate in local governance. Strategic communication programs to promote dialogue and interaction between LGUs and citizens are developed with LGUs and CSOs.
Enhancing Security Governance
This program provides training and technical assistance to raise capacities of local governments in promoting peace and security in their localities. This program trains and strengthens the Local Peace and Order Councils on conflict resolution and in designing and implementing relevant and effective programs to promote local security and peace. The program strengthens local and indigenous mechanisms for conflict prevention and management.
Developing Economic Clusters
This replicates the successful Iranun Development Council (IDC) project where five (5) municipalities in Maguindanao were assisted by IAG in constituting their areas as one economic development cluster. This program involves raising capacities of LGUs in alliance-building and research, survey and mapping to identify areas for economic collaboration among others. It trains local economic development managers in feasibility studies, business planning and marketing. This program also provides technical assistance in accessing loans and grants and public-private partnerships (PPP) for local economic development.
IAG currently implements this principle of interlocal cooperation, this time with five municipalities on the western seaboard of Basilan province that make up the Western Basilan Alliance.
This program conducts research, workshops and trainings and discussions on political, economic and security issues. It provides technical assistance in crafting public policies and local or national laws, resolution or ordinances especially on the protection and welfare of vulnerable groups such as indigenous peoples, elderly, women, children and people with disabilities.

Chronic lower back pain affects millions of people. For some, it causes temporary or permanent disability. Rehabilitation, physical therapy, stretching, and exercise can help most people with back pain. But some have such severe damage to the back that they will have chronic pain, weakness, and disability even after surgery.
To be officially disabled, patients must have a physician certify in writing that they cannot perform specific tasks such as lifting weight, getting up from a chair, or walking without help. A diagnosis of disability depends on how much the pain a person feels interferes with their daily function. Back pain becomes an official disability only when your doctor and often an independent disability doctor determine that you cannot perform certain physical tasks due to pain and/or weakness.
The usual causes of severe, chronic back pain include:
- Disease in the discs of the back that can’t be cured.
- Fractures of the spine.
- Deterioration of the spine from steroid use.
- Damage from a birth defect or cancer.
Patients with chronic low back pain need support from family, friends, physicians, and therapists to maximize their functioning and minimize their pain and discomfort. | <urn:uuid:f285eb9d-9d66-4c2b-80c1-23f8058539ff> | CC-MAIN-2014-23 | http://www.healthsearchonline.com/when-does-low-back-pain-turn-into-a-disability/ | 2014-07-24T19:11:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-23/segments/1405997890211.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20140722025810-00062-ip-10-33-131-23.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.952177 | 240 |

Educational practice is an activity that needs to be constantly renewed to align with the changes produced by the transformation of society itself. New educational needs require new ideas to understand those needs, and support of technologies capable of coping: were the oral stories and games first, after slate and notebooks, later came the books and teaching materials adapted to learn how to have children, only a few decades ago computers arrived yesterday and slipped between us Internet. Without the evidence provided by the study and systematic research, the work of those who are dedicated to teaching would be supported in the old method of trying to hit and what we learn with this method would be lost when, al jubilarnos, we left School.
“El C.E.I. Maria Montessori commitment to research as a way to improve educational activity carried their teachers. That continuous improvement is the basis for the children who attend the Centre also learn to be better every day.”
Since the school year 2010-2011, el C.E.I. Maria Montessori maintains a collaboration with the research group Formative Evaluation Contexts, EVALfor (SEJ-509), involving faculty from the Universities of Cádiz and Sevilla.
Working together has allowed both entities perform and designed various collaborative research which follow a pattern of basic work:
1) Needs related to the assessment of learning and the use of technologies identified (ICT) in C.E.I. María Montessori.
2) The EVALfor group and the management team makes proposals to address that may include teacher training strategies using training centers, conducted with the support of the CEP of Lebrija.
3) The proposals are reviewed, modified and adapted to the reality of the Centre by teachers.
4) Proposals, one checked once, are experienced in some classrooms.
5) When its value is appreciated, proposals apply to the rest of downtown on paper.
6) A close-fitting software to the proposed assessment is made.
7) Software is experienced in the classroom until a version that the teachers and the school management considered adequate.
The result of collaboration between C.E.I. Maria Montessori and the research group EVALFOR have presented papers at conferences, seminars on research Jornadas. Then the papers are related including a link to the relevant scientific meeting:
– Assessment for learning literacy in early childhood education. Development of new tools for evaluation. XVI International Congress of the Spanish Society of Teaching of Language and Literature, Teaching of Spanish / Foreign Language: Research, Planning and future prospects.

It's Race Time…!
Despite the TORRENTIAL rain, the PrettyGreen team have been out and about doing a spot of daily running. Why? Well, we’ll be racing against the world’s fastest man soon so we need to be in shape don’t we.
Fear not, we don’t fancy our chances at the athletics (well, Strings does but that’s another story…), last week we announced the launch of Race Bolt – a simply brilliant Virgin Media activity which will be hitting Glasgow Green on July 24th for 12 glorious days where members of the public can try their speed against an on screen version of Bolt.
Race Bolt is a pretty impressive bit of kit, measuring 40 metres long, standing at over 9 feet tall and featuring over a million pixel LEDs, it’s a spectacle to watch as well as take part in. The activity lets challengers try their luck on a professional track, capturing the action as they run through motion sensors so you can see how you did against the man himself and other competitors.
Be sure to sign up to take part, here. See you at Glasgow Green and don’t forget your trainers! | <urn:uuid:7c19c90a-c0dc-4b96-87d3-c083f3c394b8> | CC-MAIN-2017-09 | http://itsprettygreen.com/its-race-time/ | 2017-02-25T00:05:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-09/segments/1487501171632.91/warc/CC-MAIN-20170219104611-00009-ip-10-171-10-108.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.954622 | 247 |

If you love spending time on the slopes but want to make your money stretch a little further, we have compiled this handy guide to skiing on a budget and getting more for your money.
Traditional package ski holidays determine that you must stay for 7 nights, but for those looking to save some money consider a 5 or 6 night stay. Not only will you save money on accommodation, but you will also save on ski passes, equipment hire and food costs.
When booking your accommodation, it’s worth looking at different types of accommodation. If you’d like the flexibility to cook your own food and eat in the comfort of your own room them self-catering properties are ideal. Booking.com has a multitude of options for those looking at accommodation in Andorra.
It is important to consider how you are going to reach your ski resort. When searching for flights to Andorra there are a number of different regional airports that can reduce your travel time and potentially save you money on airport parking. As Andorra doesn’t have its own airport, don’t forget to check prices flying to both Toulouse and Barcelona to find the best prices.
Andorra Resorts have compiled a chart showing all the regional airports you can fly from. Booking your flights couldn’t be easier, check the chart for your nearest airport as this might be cheaper than travelling to a major UK aiport. For example, if you live in Swansea then driving to Gatwick may require additional nights accommodation at an airport hotel and airport parking may cost a premium. An alternative and budget-friendly option would be to travel from Cardiff. For those living in the Midlands, Birmingham airport is one of the most accessible airports. Catch the train to Birmingham New Street and take a short 9-minute train to the arrivals terminal, ideal if you are travelling with only hand-luggage.
To save on airport parking, contemplate using services such as Megabus and National Express. With regular departures from across the UK to most major airports, you could pay as little as £5 each way.
Food outlets at airports are often expensive, to save time and money consider taking your own food with you. A simple packed lunch could save you nearly £40 for a family of four. Travelling with an empty water bottle is beneficial as most airports now have areas where you can fill up your bottle after security, saving money and time.
When you arrive at your destination airport you will need to have some form of transport booked in order to get you to your resort. From Barcelona Airport to Andorra there are 7 shared transfers per day so there are plenty of options when flying from a regional airport in the UK to find a time that suits you best. If you are travelling as part of a small group then why not consider a shared transfer? Though it may take a little longer to reach your resort it will save you money. If travelling as part of a larger group then a private transfer may be more applicable. You can book your airport transfers to Andorra via this page.
When you arrive at your resort you will probably want to charge your phone so that your alarm is set for your first day on the slopes. Save money by taking 1 adapter and 1 UK extension lead so that you can charge multiple devices.
If you are flying with just one case between 2 people or just hand-luggage, hiring your ski equipment can help you save time at the airport and if you are a beginner then it gives you an opportunity to test out the equipment before you invest. If you choose to book your ski hire through Andorra Resorts you will receive a minimum discount of 25%, if you book now you can receive an additional 10% off your bill (use code EARLYBIRD until 28/09/2018). Though you can rent most equipment including helmets, poles and ski’s remember that investing in a good pair of goggles and gloves is wise. Don’t spend a fortune, have a look in shops like TK Maxx and Go Outdoors where there is normally a significant discount off the RRP.
Buying Lift Passes In Advance:
Save time and money by booking your lift passes in advance. If you are planning to take a day off from the slopes and enjoy a spa day or two then a ski pass that is flexible is best, for example, the Grandvalira 3 Days From 5 pass from Andorra Resorts is €145.20, whereas the full 5-day pass is €220.50 meaning that you are not paying for the days when you aren’t skiing.
Discounts & Vouchers:
Each year Andorra Resorts teams up with a number of local bars and restaurants to find the best deals and discounts. Whether it’s 2 for 1 beers or free garlic bread, every penny counts! Everyone loves a bit of apres ski, especially when it comes with a discount. Keep an eye on our vouchers pages for Arinsal, Soldeu and Pas de la Casa for more information. Also, look out for bars with Happy Hour’s and ‘children eat free’ offers, quite often these will be written on boards outside the main door.
Skiing on a budget is possible when you take a little time to plan ahead. Looking for the best deals and saving money where you can means that you can enjoy your ski holiday without breaking the bank.

Hi I'm Jared
Hi I'm Jared. This seems to be the spot where I talk about how awesome I am.....ok I am 21, and just to tell about me I am kinda nerdy. Not really in the smart way but more of a I don't like sports and like to read, write, draw and play video games kinda way. I did all my schooling via home study but I do have a diploma. Plans for my life? Um go to collage and get a education. lol I don't know "I have a big head and little arms and.....I dont know how well this plan was thought out" All I can do is rely on my Savior and do what He says. And that's where I'm at.
Why I am a Mormon
Ok so "Why am I a Mormon?" I've been asked this question before. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) purely because I know it is His church. Him being Jesus Christ the Savior and Redeemer of the world. I know that the Church is Christ's because I read the Book of Mormon and I prayed to know if it was true. I got my answer then. At the time I was about 15. And now EVERY time I read from the Book of Mormon I feel the same feelings peace and love. It is because of that feeling and the teachings found in the Book of Mormon that I believe this way. It is how I know that Jesus is the Christ. He is MY Savior and Redeemer He suffered for MY sins that I might have the chance of everlasting life. Every time I read from the Book of Mormon I feel the Spirit enlightening my mind and I learn more about Him who died and rose again on the third day. This is Why I'm a Mormon. This is why I gladly sacrifice all the many things that are necessary as a disciple of Jesus of Nazareth. I look forward to the day that I will meet my Lord in the flesh. I pray I will be ready for that day. I pray that I will have applied His sacrifice and grace into my life and be made clean from my many sins.
Why do Mormons go on missions?
I'll tell you why I went on my mission. I went because I knew that the message was true. Try to think of it this way. If you had the cure for cancer wouldn't you want to share it with everyone. Wouldn't you sacrifice almost anything to help all the people out there that had cancer. And if you didn't share and people found out you would be the biggest jerk in the world. This is why we serve missions. Because we have the cure to not cancer but sin. We have the fullness of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Or in other words we know and have the authority to do everything you need to receive the grace and salvation offered by Christ. And all you need to do is ask God it its true.
Why do Mormons do family history or genealogy work?
Well I'll tell you why I do the limited genealogy that I do. Because its stinkin fun! I get to learn about my Great Great Grandfather and who he was what he did. Its all really cool. They aren't names on a page to me. These are people who had lives. The aspect of extending the blessings of the gospel and salvation to them is made all the more real because they are real people. We as members of the Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day saints believe just as the saints in the New Testament that we can help our ancestors receive salvation. But my favorite part is learning about them.
How I live my faith
I try to become better every day. And follow the example of Christ. I also try to help others in any way that I can. Weather its by helping them move big heavy things, painting rooms in their house or sharing with them what I know of the Master. (But I think talking about Jesus is my favorite.) | <urn:uuid:081ed6b5-7dc7-42ba-997d-c90984cd2b8c> | CC-MAIN-2014-42 | http://www.mormon.org/me/8NNS/Jared | 2014-10-25T19:43:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-42/segments/1414119649807.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20141024030049-00029-ip-10-16-133-185.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.984529 | 818 |
Renting out a spare room to a tenant can be a great way of helping to meet your mortgage repayments. But what if your new tenant turns out to be somebody like Marion Berntsen who loves dragging Wisconsin and Illinois landlords and their families through court if they try to evict her? Her case makes sobering reading for landlords, and highlights the need to try to protect against tenant lawsuits.
So, how can you protect against tenant lawsuits? The truth is that there is no way to prevent any tenant taking legal action against you. However, there are some things you can do to make it less likely.
You should always carry out background checks into any person who wants to rent your property. To do that properly, you need to be sure of the identity of the proposed tenant. When Marion Berntsen moved into the home of Anja Hertel, she used a false name. That would have made looking into her past a fruitless exercise, even if Hertel bothered to do any background checks.
Berntsen had come across as a peaceful, older widow with a Christian outlook. The trouble began not too long after she moved in. She brought no less than 150 boxes into the single room she rented. She also brought in lots of food that she refused to dispose off even when it was not longer usable.
When the landlady complained about the decaying food, Bernsten began calling the police, complaining about the landlady. It was only at that stage that Hertel discovered her tenant’s true identity, and her history of taking tenant lawsuits.
Even though all the tenant lawsuits taken by Berntsen that have gone through the legal process have been dismissed, the unfortunate landlords and the others she sued had to face the stress and uncertainty of dealing with them. People involved lost out financially through having to give up valuable time and unpaid rent.
Berntsen’s standard reaction to threats of eviction has been to lodge complaints with the police. Many of the claims have been frivolous in the extreme. She has complained at the lack of a cable service, and at not having enough counter space. She has also complained of food theft. One exasperated former landlord, John Hosta, says Berntsen takes over the household. His unwanted tenant sued his three children, his ex-wife and another tenant.
When in doubt it helps to have professional help that has been around the block with tenants. A good property manager knows how to conduct a thorough background check into the tenants rental, credit, and criminal histories which will include an alias they might use. They can help you avoid the bad apple tenants out there. | <urn:uuid:d11566dc-f89e-4197-be5a-d75f0ddc7ab7> | CC-MAIN-2022-21 | https://www.rpmphoenixmetro.com/protect-against-tenant-lawsuits/ | 2022-05-25T10:23:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-21/segments/1652662584398.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20220525085552-20220525115552-00476.warc.gz | en | 0.974538 | 536 |

AT&T home DSL IPv6 configuration?

> Can anybody tell me how they are configuring their IPv6 setup?
They deploy using 6rd. In other words, they get to deploy IPv6 _again_ in about a few years time.
Basically any router with 6rd support and the knobs in the ui to input their 6rd border relay and you should be good.
It's nice that you can use their border relay from outside the US too.

Tascent multi-stage, multi-modal self biometrics enrollment patent could broaden iris recognition use
Tascent has been awarded a new patent from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for a multimodal biometrics innovation which would bind a facial image enrolled through a selfie with an iris biometric image captured from the same person at a later time.
‘Binding of selfie face image to iris images for biometric identity enrollment’ describes a system Tascent says solves one of iris biometrics’ main implementation challenges, which is how to carry out staged enrollment to create a single identity record. The two biometrics are combined algorithmically in the proposed system.
Tascent points out in the patent that high-resolution imaging is now widely available to consumers in some markets.
“Self-pre-enrollment is a process used in a wide range of scenarios such as building physical access control, voter registration, personal banking, expedited travel and immigration, etc.” the inventors write. “However, these self-captured face images (herein referred to as “selfie” face images) are typically of variable biometric quality (for example, may be impacted by shadows, poor orientation, sub-optimal camera positioning, and/or confusing backgrounds). This impacts an accuracy of biometric systems that might make use of selfie face images, and limits their value.”
The need for dedicated and specialized enrollment devices has limited the adoption of iris biometrics so far, Tascent claims, prompting the company to look into a way to address this issue while tapping into the momentum behind smartphone-based enrollment apps.
The resulting multi-modal system could be used for securing payments with biometrics, physical access control, live event access, border control, and law enforcement applications. The patent was originally filed for in 2018.
Tascent recently unveiled a pair of new mobile biometric SDKs, and its Tascent MX enrollment device was certified by Nigeria’s government. | <urn:uuid:a3a91b94-f50a-4b43-a074-3b721f61c4fa> | CC-MAIN-2021-21 | https://www.biometricupdate.com/202104/tascent-multi-stage-multi-modal-self-biometrics-enrollment-patent-could-broaden-iris-recognition-use | 2021-05-15T18:10:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-21/segments/1620243990551.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20210515161657-20210515191657-00564.warc.gz | en | 0.940477 | 429 |

Tom DeLay, Sentenced to Three Years in Prison, Claims Selective Prosecution
Austin, Texas (AP) - Former U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay remained defiant as he faced a judge's sentence to three years in prison for a scheme to illegally influence Texas elections, insisting he committed no crime and was the victim of selective prosecution by authorities targeting his politics.
"Everything I did was covered by accountants and lawyers telling me what I had to do to stay within the law," the Houston-area Republican said. "I can't be remorseful for something I don't think I did."
But Senior Judge Pat Priest disagreed with DeLay, saying those who write laws should be bound by them, and sentenced the man once considered one of the nation's most powerful and feared lawmakers to three years in prison.
The sentence came after a jury convicted DeLay in November on charges of money laundering and conspiracy to commit money launder for using a political action committee to illegally send corporate donations to Texas House candidates in 2002.
Prosecutors said DeLay will likely be free for months or even years while his appeal makes its way through the Texas court system.
DeLay declined to talk to reporters after he posted a $10,000 bond following three hours in the Travis County jail, where he was taken after being sentenced.
During a 10-minute speech to the judge before his sentencing, DeLay said the politically motivated case against him had affected his wife's health, forced him to raise and spend $10 million in legal fees and cost him everything he had worked for -- including the second-highest post in the U.S. House.
"Just because somebody disagrees with you they got to put you in jail, bankrupt you, destroy your family," he said.
DeLay was convicted in Travis County, one of the most Democratic counties in Texas, which is one of the most Republican states in the country.
Lead prosecutor Gary Cobb said there was nothing political about DeLay's prosecution and called the former congressman "arrogant" for not taking responsibility for his crime.
"He's been accusing us of (politics) ever since Day One. But every time someone opposes him, tries to hold him to account for something he's done, he accuses those people of politics," Cobb said.
After the sentencing, DeLay's attorney Dick DeGuerin said only that the case would not stand on appeal.
"Tom DeLay did not steal. He did not rob. He did not line his own pockets. He did what he did because he believed he was doing right," DeGuerin, who had asked for probation for the ex-lawmaker, said before the sentencing.
Prosecutors, who wanted a 10-year sentence, said DeLay should not be given probation because he had shown no remorse.
Priest sentenced DeLay to the three-year term on the conspiracy charge. He also sentenced him to five years in prison on the money laundering charge but allowed DeLay to serve 10 years of probation instead of more prison time. DeLay had faced up to life in prison.
The ruling came after a brief sentencing hearing in which former U.S. House Speaker Dennis Hastert testified on DeLay's behalf.
Hastert, an Illinois Republican who was House speaker from 1999 to 2006, said DeLay was not motivated by power but by a need to help others. Hastert talked about DeLay's conservative and religious values, his efforts to provide tax relief for his constituents in Texas, his work helping foster children and the help he provided to the family of one of the police officers who was killed in a 1998 shooting at the U.S. Capitol in Washington.
"That's the real Tom DeLay that a lot of people never got to see," said Hastert, who was DeLay's only witness.
After a month-long trial in November, a jury determined DeLay conspired with two associates to use his Texas-based political action committee to send $190,000 in corporate money to an arm of the Washington-based Republican National Committee. The RNC then sent the same amount to seven Texas House candidates. Under Texas law, corporate money can't go directly to political campaigns.
Prosecutors claim the money helped Republicans take control of the Texas House. That enabled the GOP majority to push through a Delay-engineered congressional redistricting plan that sent more Texas Republicans to Congress in 2004, strengthening DeLay's political power. | <urn:uuid:ebafed69-2cb3-451c-b98d-eb39613cdc63> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://cnsnews.com/news/article/tom-delay-sentenced-three-years-prison-claims-selective-prosecution | 2013-05-21T14:12:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368700074077/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516102754-00050-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.98579 | 915 |

I have read James Altucher’s ‘Choose Yourself’ twice recently. First I bought the book in Kindle since the price was almost nothing but after having read it I knew I would like a paperback of that in my library. So once I got the paperback, I read it again. And as Nassim N. Taleb once said, “A good book gets better at the second reading. A great book at the third. Any book not worth rereading isn’t worth reading.” Altucher’s book did get better at the 2nd time and I enjoyed it a lot more than I did the first time. While JA was trying to make a point about being emotionally healthy by staying positive and not to engage our thoughts with haters he narrated a personal experience. A well known pundit once tweeted that one of his books was crap. On being asked about the comment she admitted to her dislike for the title which resulted in that tweet although, obviously, she hadn’t read the book. So James went ahead and wrote a blog post about it. And out of nowhere he got an email from one of his readers, which I would like to share with you guys. The email went:
“I assume your blog post was mostly tongue in cheek about the feedback affecting you in a negative way. But if not, then please take this compliment to heart: From one very successful writer to another. I love your blog. Yes, it has its quirks and stylistic issues, but it is utterly original and compelling, and that is an attribute that is incredibly rare. There is so much writing out there, and so little of it is worth a shit – but your blog is one of those that are worth a shit.
I subscribe to like 25 blogs in my RSS feed, and yours is one. And I don’t even actively invest – I could care less about your financial advice.
Please keep doing what you are doing, and please don’t let the cowardly commentary from the ignorant sheep and trolls get you down. There are a ton of us out here that read everything you put on your blog, and thoroughly enjoy it, but we don’t tend to speak up one way or the other, because we are normal people with normal lives. Who even writes Amazon reviews? I have entertained millions of people, literally millions, but from Amazon reviews you would think my job was to punch babies in the mouth. That’s the shitty part about the internet, and anonymous feedback, is that you tend to hear from extremes, those that either love you more than reasonable, or those who are just spreading toxicity.
Fuck those people. You do great work, and I really appreciate it.
I hate to sound like a weirdo Buddhist, but the only thins that really matter in this world are the relationships you have with the people you love, and the meaningful things that you do. Haters don’t fit anywhere into that. Don’t devote any mental space to them.”
The email was signed:
The reason I wanted to share the email with you was the point TM was making. Almost each and every one of us have haters in our lives and no matter what we do they would always be hating. Only way we can defeat them is by denying any metal space to them. Not even engaging our thoughts with them, let alone alone engaging ourselves with them.
Did I pick the wrong title? Because we all know customer is king, right? But let me share with you what I think.
Most important asset of any business is it’s human capital. I believe employees are usually undervalued. But we all know that employees are fundamental part of a business. And they are essential for a business to function properly. But unfortunately, mostly the businesses look at their employees as liabilities not as assets.
What we have failed to realize is that when it comes to successfully running a business, it takes dedication of a team, a single person cannot make it all happen. Unless your business is very small, you can’t do it all by yourself and run a successful business, you’ll need plenty of advice and encouragement. So team effort is important. And team effort will come only when your employees are dedicated to work and it will happen if they feel valued and respected.
And employees are important because they are the ones who stand between your product and your customers and ultimately they are the ones who’ll make a promotion fail or succeed. They will develop relationship with your customer and also are the ambassadors of your company. While overworked and dissatisfied employees are less inclined to create a positive customer experience. So it’s important for a business to value it’s employees and make them feel respected.
You can still agree to disagree :). Have your say in comment box.
“Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better.”
Dear friend, this is the first and probably the last time I’m writing on this topic. The thing is, so much have been said and there’s no need for another post especially on a blog that just got 400 hits. But still, lets just hope it helps. :)
When we are kids, the idea of failure is presented to us as a nightmare in our lives. So when we are grown up we don’t want to fail in anything we do. But when you learned how to walk, you fell over. Over and over again. May be you hurt yourself sometimes and also cried a little. But you learned to walk finally like you already knew it. Wouldn’t it be great if all us keep up this way of thinking about failures? I vote Yes!
Instead of being too hard on ourselves, after failure, we should rather give ourself a break and think about what we have learned. You might have got a bad grade at school, or your ego keeps tagging you as a loser, or may be you think it’s not normal and you are too old for this stuff. Let me tell you again (I mean you already know it), all the greatest figures in the history failed at some point in time in their lives but they learned and used it in succeeding. Henry Ford put it most eloquently: “Failure is the opportunity to begin again, more intelligently”. You can’t learn if you don’t fail. If you put effort and you fail, celebrate it because you have learned something you wouldn’t have if you succeeded. And if you think you didn’t even put effort, then there must be a reason. Find out that. I mean if I will ask My daughter to major in Biotechnology while she likes Literature, she’s obviously gonna fail.
And most important thing about failure is that it makes you stronger. You are able to handle things that you weren’t able to before. So watch Michael Jordan’s video and Cheer up! Happy failure :)
” Small-business innovation is key to moving country forward” says Barack Obama.
Meeting up with some Business people at Lahore Chamber of Commerce today was pretty interesting and motivating. For all of you who don’t know, main aim of the Chamber, it’s to help small and medium size businesses and encourage innovative startups. Why so? Why not help big giants to be stronger? Obviously big companies generally get most of our attention. And success of big companies is also critical to the success of small and medium size businesses. But it’s small and medium businesses that drive a country’s economic growth and create 2 out of 3 jobs in America.
Anyways, purpose of this blog post is not to advocate for SME’s. The thing is, it’s really sad that our youth is running after jobs and nobody seemed to have decided to do something big for their society. And that shows how self-centered we have become as a nation. Obtain a degree, find a job, get married and pass on the selfish nature. Pakistan needs to wake up before it’s too late.
All of us are blessed with wonderful talents and love for something. We just need to figure it out. And trust me, once you do figure that out you won’t even think of anything else. And if each one us starts focusing on to be the best we can be, there could be no better way to contribute to our society. So yes, i would encourage you to follow you heart and start something that you love.
Share with us, what’s the love of your life?
It might sound a little rude but yes I’m asking you this question. I’ve been reading stories about the good businesses around the globe and also been observing the behavior of local businesses. I know the purpose of a business is to earn profit at the end of the day but sometimes its inevitable to think of human side of the business. And no business is one man show, business people are always looking out for people-clients, employees, partners and sometimes even competitors.
Sadly, most of the local businessmen here are just after making money and exploiting others. They don’t understand the true spirit of running a business. And this may be or could be on the reasons we do not have a multinational organization in Pakistan to the date.
You have to show that you care not just for money but for people. You know well that you are gonna need them to work but the important question here is why the heck would someone like to work with you/for you and not Tom? The answer is because you make it easy for them to do business with you. You are in good books of your employees, customers and your partners. Running a good business requires an attitude of giving and working to increase the size of cake instead of our own slice. Think win-win!
A few days back, in my Business Law class, my teacher shared a story about the start of her professional career as a teacher. It wasn’t something very inspirational or motivating but more like a warning. Well, she told us how her ’employers’ manipulated the fact that she was new to that profession. And she told us that we ‘will’ be taken advantage of at the beginning just because we will be new to the market. That sounds really cruel and unfair.
My question is, why cant we be sincere in our acts and play clean? Why just Rs. 5000 or even less makes us compromise on principles?
I do not believe a good entrepreneur would ever be unjust in his actions and be manipulative. So if you are a good entrepreneur that means you are a good employer and you make your employees feel good about working for you.

Name of website or photo Butterfly Mittens
What materials did you use? Worsted weight yarn. Double pointed knitting needles: sizes 3 & 5. Darning needle for finishing.
What are you most proud of? The originality of my designs, and how well my mittens fit children and adults.
What advice would you give someone starting this project? Don't go out and buy yarn - check your stash. These mittens do not take much yarn, and any worsted weight yarn will do. This pattern comes as the 'bonus' in my Butterfly Mitten pattern. If you knit, you CAN make these mittens!

The expiration of a 17-year-old patent that defines the structure of such magnets paves the way for previously blocked Chinese producers to sell to U.S. customers, said Sun Baoyu, chairman of Shenyang General Magnetic Co. It’s formed an alliance with six Chinese producers to promote their products and fight Hitachi over other patents, that the Japanese company says largely prevent rivals from making magnets.
“Hitachi’s whole patent package’s base is this ingredient patent,” said Li Weifeng, a Shanghai-based analyst with Everbright Securities Co. It is a “very basic” patent for the magnets, he said.
The end of the patent will pit the seven producers in the alliance and potentially others who try to tap into the market against Hitachi and eight Chinese companies that have paid for the right to make and ship the magnet. An increase in exporters of the magnets could cut prices of the product used in Apple’s iPhones and Toyota hybrid-electric cars.
Hitachi holds more than 600 patents for rare-earth magnets globally, some of which it acquired after taking over Sumitomo Special Metals Co. in the 2000s, said spokesman Akio Minami.
“The company considers it’s almost impossible for other companies to commercially manufacture the magnets if avoiding all of our patent network,” said Minami, “Since we don’t know details of action by the seven Chinese companies, we refrain from making comments on this matter.”
Magnet makers in China are struggling with overcapacity after an earlier price boom spurred a flood of investments. The nation produces about 100,000 metric tons of sintered rare-earth magnets annually, compared with almost 300,000 tons of capacity, according to Everbright’s Li.
Japanese companies hold most of the world’s rare-earth magnet patents, while China produces about 90 percent of global supply, Li said. Chinese exports of the magnets were 18,800 tons last year.
“Hitachi and those who have entered the market would worry about a flood of Chinese competitors,” said Le Yukun, head of metals and mining with BOC International Holdings, Bank of China’s investment banking unit. “Prices will fall if the Chinese alliance wins.”
The expired U.S. patent 5,654,651 covers magnets with neodymium, a rare earth element, and cobalt, according to Sun. The Chinese alliance plans to sue Hitachi in the U.S. over several other patents that cover production, he said.
“Japan and U.S. are the most important overseas markets for magnets,” Shenyang General’s Sun said, adding that clients are concerned about Hitachi’s patents.
Beijing Zhongke Sanhuan High-Tech Co. and Ningbo Yunsheng Group Co., China’s two largest producers of rare-earth magnets, are among the eight Chinese companies that have paid to use Hitachi’s patents. Zhongke Sanhuan is licensed to use more than 400 Hitachi patents related to sintered rare-earth magnets and methods for their manufacture globally, according to a company statement on its website.
Everbright’s Li expects more trade disputes as Chinese producers seek to boost magnet exports, though he doesn’t expect they would win legal disputes against Hitachi on the remaining patents. BOC’s Le agrees Chinese producers aren’t likely to win any disputes over remaining patents.

Oil futures on Thursday recouped losses from a day earlier as expectations for further declines in U.S. production helped offset a bigger-than-expected weekly increase in domestic crude supplies.
Natural-gas prices also finished higher after separate data showed an increase in natural-gas inventories that was below market expectations.
October West Texas Intermediate crude CLV5, +0.00% tacked on $1.77, or 4%, to settle at $45.92 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange after dropping $1.79, or 3.9%, a day earlier. Oil prices had pared some of their earlier gains in the wake of the supply data, before pushing toward session highs again.
Brent crude UK:LCOV5 rose $1.31, or 2.8%, to $48.89 a barrel on London’s ICE Futures exchange.
Nymex oil participated in a “broad-based risk-on rally, despite the negative numbers” released by the U.S. Energy Information Administration Thursday, said Tim Evans, chief market strategist at Long Leaf Trading Group. U.S. stocks were higher in volatile trading when Nymex prices settled.
“We are seeing commodity sectors react more sensitively to the sentiment of the investment community than the internal fundamentals of a variety of different markets, including crude oil,” Evans said.
On Thursday, the EIA reported an increase of 2.6 million barrels in crude supplies for the week ended Sept. 4. Analysts polled by Platts forecast a crude-stock climb of 300,000 barrels, while the American Petroleum Institute Wednesday said supplies gained by 2.1 million barrels, according to sources.
“The build in oil inventories was surprising given a drop off in U.S. production,” said John Macaluso, an analyst at Tyche Capital Advisors.
But “we do expect a run of continuous [crude-supply] builds in the weeks to come as refineries enter annual maintenance season,” he said. “A big cut in refinery utilization by 1.9% is further indication that [refinery maintenance may] have started and builds will likely get even bigger.”
Still, total weekly domestic oil production edged down by 83,000 barrels to 9.14 million barrels a day, EIA report showed.
In a separate report issued Wednesday, the EIA said U.S. oil production fell to a nearly one-year low in August and was likely to keep falling well into 2016. But the government agency also lowered its 2015 and 2016 price estimates for WTI and Brent crude.
Meanwhile, gasoline supplies rose 400,000 barrels while distillate stockpiles climbed by one million barrels last week, according to the EIA’s petroleum inventory data.
Meanwhile, natural-gas prices added to earlier gains after the EIA reported that supplies of the commodity rose by 68 billion cubic feet for the week ended Sept. 4. Analysts polled by Platts forecast a climb of between 72 billion cubic feet and 76 billion cubic feet.
October natural gas US:NGV15 ended at $2.683 per million British thermal units, up 3.2 cents, or 1.2%.

News articles often reflect an opinion or point of view, with
certain topics evoking more diverse opinions than others. For analyzing and better understanding public discourses, identifying such contested topics constitutes an interesting research question. In this paper, we describe an approach that combines NLP techniques and background knowledge from DBpedia for finding disputed topics in news sites. To identify these topics, we annotate each article with DBpedia concepts, extract their categories, and compute a sentiment score in order to identify those categories revealing significant deviations in polarity across different media. We illustrate our approach in a qualitative evaluation on a sample of six popular British and American news sites. | <urn:uuid:2fd94b22-7497-4239-b974-b11ca8b9e6d1> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://www.lt3.ugent.be/publications/identifying-disputed-topics-in-the-news/ | 2023-12-10T04:26:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679101195.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20231210025335-20231210055335-00042.warc.gz | en | 0.879267 | 129 |

Verdicchio is a white grape variety of ancient origin and has been cultivated in the Marches region since the 1300s. The name comes from the word verde, which means green, due to its slightly green-yellow color. We recently tried a 2006 Bucci Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico. The wine had a light yellow color and a fresh nose of sweet apple and pear. On the palate, it was light-bodied, nutty, with mineral notes on the finish. In short, the perfect summer sipper. Try it with a plate of Spaghetti alle Vongole and imagine you're in one of these seaside resorts on the Adriatic coast.

A study is to be completed by the end of summer on whether Arkansas should raise the speed limits on interstates in rural areas to 75-miles-per-hour.
One of the new state laws going into effect Tuesday, which was passed earlier this year by the Arkansas General Assembly, opens the possibility.
"It doesn’t mean we will go out and do it, it just enables us to," said Danny Straessle, spokesman for the department that on Tuesday will become known as the Arkansas Department of Transportation.
In recent months he says the department has been updating speed data on interstates throughout the state. Other factors like terrain will also be considered. Stretches of interstates that are straight, like I-40 in eastern Arkansas and I-49 in western Arkansas would be the most likely to get serious consideration, Straessle says.
"We will make some recommendations or at least will present some data and do some data-driven decision-making in whether or not we should be raising the speed limit in Arkansas, and if so, where?"
Some other states like Texas have already implemented 75 mile-per-hour limits, but Straessle says that won’t be a factor swaying the department.
The Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department will formally change its name on Tuesday to the Arkansas Department of Transportation. The oversight of the department won’t change, Straessle says, but will allow the name of the department to be more consistent with federal language and other states.
There won’t be an immediate change in logos on signs and department vehicles. Straessle says it will be a gradual transition as equipment is replaced so that the name change won’t take money away from other projects. | <urn:uuid:83a748bb-6e2e-4866-91ab-2f6dab070eba> | CC-MAIN-2017-39 | http://ualrpublicradio.org/post/transportation-officials-decide-whether-raise-speed-limits-arkansas | 2017-09-19T13:40:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-39/segments/1505818685698.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20170919131102-20170919151102-00064.warc.gz | en | 0.951639 | 359 |

“Pictures are for looking at, not for talking about.”
Elliott Erwitt is one of the world’s best-known photographers. His mostly black and white photos of famous people and memorable moments in contemporary history are regarded as modern photographic masterpieces. As a dog lover, he especially enjoys portraying his four-legged friends, and his fine sense of humor, reflected in much of his work, is his hallmark.
Born on 26 July 1928 in Paris as the son of Russian émigrés, Elliott Erwitt spent his childhood in Milan. In 1939 his family emigrated via France to the USA. As a teenager, Erwitt lived in Los Angeles, where he developed an interest in photography and worked in a photo lab. In 1948 he moved to New York City to study film making at the “New School for Social Research”. During this year he met the famous photographers Edward Steichen and Robert Capa. In 1951 he was called up for military service, where he was also able to do some photography.
It was not until 1953 that Elliott Erwitt started working for the independent photographers’ agency Magnum Photos, which had been founded in 1947 by the four photographers Robert Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson, David Seymour and George Rodger in Paris. A year later, Erwitt was already a full member of Magnum and served as its president from 1966 to 1969. During this time he worked as a freelancer for various magazines such as “Collier’s”, “Look”, “Life” and “Holiday”. He portrayed many celebrities including Marlene Dietrich, Jacqueline Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe and even Fidel Castro and Che Guevara. In the years 1974 and 1980 he again acted as vice president of the Magnum agency.
The “Personal Best for Leica” exhibition bears testimony to the decades of friendship between the photographer and his Leica camera.

My real worry is that programs like those will stop being made. My secondary worry is that more and more features of the OS will require being a signed application by Apple. i.e. only work from the MAS. Consider iCloud. It’s completely understandable why Apple may wish to have applications go through the approval process to use iCloud. (Apple apparently hasn’t decided on policy here yet – at least not in any official statement) Suddenly that means that no application can send arbitrary Applescript and access iCloud. I think it is safe to say that more and more features may start requiring the limits that the app store imposes.
John Gruber also notes the uncertainty:
My gut feeling/semi-informed hunch is that yes, it will be restricted to App Store apps, so that Apple can approve all iCloud storage use cases in advance, and easily pull the plug on any app that proves to be abusive in the wild. Put another way, my bet is that if your app isn’t signed by Apple, it won’t be able to write to an iCloud container.
iCloud and the application sandbox were probably the two biggest Mac announcements at WWDC in June. Now they’re deployed on customers’ Macs, and Apple still hasn’t clarified the policies for using them.

The birth of the London boroughs
At the beginning of the second half of the 20th Century, London was substantially smaller than the city we know today.
Local government of London was carried out by the London County Council (LCC) and 28 metropolitan borough councils, a structure that had existed since the end of the 19th century.
The boundaries of London government were defined by those of the LCC. This stopped short of places such as Willesden, Acton and Chiswick in the west, Wimbledon and Croydon in the south, West Ham and Leyton in the east and went no further than Hampstead, St Pancras and Islington in the north.
Beyond the boundaries of the LCC, West Ham and Croydon were county boroughs which were administratively independent of the counties they were located in. Otherwise, areas such as Hornsey, Barnes and Walthamstow had municipal borough or urban district status and shared powers with the county councils of Kent, Essex, Hertfordshire, Middlesex or Surrey.
London’s structure of government had been criticised since not long after its conception – particularly the shortcomings of the LCC, which had jurisdiction over less than half of the inhabitants of the metropolitan area.
In 1944, Sir Patrick Abercrombie’s Greater London Plan outlined a vision for the future development of London premised on the creation of ‘new towns’ that would accommodate population growth in outer London and recommended the creation of a green belt to contain London’s growth. But it said little about the systems of government that such an expanded metropolis would need.
In 1949, Lewis Silkin – the town and planning minister and a former LCC housing chairman – had called for an inquiry into Greater London government. But it was not until 1957 when Henry Brooke – minister for housing and local government under Harold Macmillan – established a Royal Commission on Local Government in London under the chairmanship of Sir Edwin Herbert that the question came to a head.
A Royal Commission
The commission took its geographical coverage to be the continuous built-up area inside the newly designated metropolitan Green Belt. It heard a number of representations with key points of debate being whether or not to create a single authority for the whole of Greater London and the nature of the lower tier of government – namely the size and functions of the smaller units of local government that would perform the functions best administered at the more local level.
The report of the Herbert Commission, published in 1960, called for a new system of government whereby the majority of functions in an expanded ‘Greater London’ would be conducted by 52 boroughs. A Greater London Council would be created to perform “those functions which can only be or can better be performed over a wider area”.
The GLC would be responsible for:
producing a Greater London development plan
the building of homes outside London
cross-borough redevelopment schemes
standard setting in education
overseeing traffic management.
A key overarching principle was that new arrangements should avoid overlapping or duplicating responsibilities between the two levels of government and that boroughs should carry out all functions best discharged locally.
The new system
The 1963 London Government Act, which implemented the Herbert Commission’s recommendations, contained some notable deviations from the original proposals. Most obviously, instead of 52 boroughs, there were to be 32 alongside the City of London Corporation.
Another key difference from the original recommendations was that a number of functions were shared between the boroughs and the GLC. For example in education, outer London boroughs acted as standalone education authorities whereas in inner London, a statutory committee of the GLC called the Inner London Education Authority (ILEA) held responsibility for education functions. This situation persisted until the abolition of ILEA in 1990 when education responsibilities were passed to the inner London boroughs.
Similarly in transport, boroughs were responsible for general road maintenance but trunk roads were the responsibility of the Minister of Transport while the GLC acted as a general transport planning authority and shared responsibility for parking with the boroughs. Meanwhile, the transfer of the LCC’s huge housing stock mean there were effectively two housing authorities in every borough.
The first shadow elections for the new London boroughs were held alongside those for the GLC in 1964, marking the beginning of a new system of government for London. It would not be without its controversies, nor would it escape further revisions. However, 50 years on the boroughs are increasingly seen as one of the most efficient and effective parts of English local government. | <urn:uuid:4e85eb55-3c5e-4570-a63a-f0b1ec4dadf2> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://boroughs50.londoncouncils.gov.uk/the-birth-of-the-london-boroughs/ | 2017-10-18T18:36:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187823067.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20171018180631-20171018200631-00575.warc.gz | en | 0.966753 | 934 |

On 13 January 2011, highly intelligent but irritable Professor Konstantin Carus (Heiner Lauterbach) enters the control room of the particle accelerator together with 23 colleagues. Eight hours later, at 6 am on 14 January 2011, the 23 scientists of the night shift have disappeared without a trace! The only survivor of this tragedy is Konstantin Carus. In order to solve this mysterious case, he is being examined at a secret location by representatives of the Swiss Depart of Public Prosecution (Max Tidof, Annika Blendl). They expect answers from him to these burning questions: Did the incalculable experiment create a temporary Black Hole, absorbing the surrounding matter? Does the LHC endanger the whole world? An incredible story begins ... Written by
Over the last years, there was a flood of really good German movies. Sadly, this is not one of them. In fact, quite the contrary. I can't remember the last time, I heard such idiotic, unfitting and pretentious dialog. The story itself is uninteresting, illogical and ultimately leads nowhere. Heiner Lauterbach and Max Tidof are well respected and acclaimed German actors. I don't say they are bad actors in general, but in this movie they are. As well as the other 50% of the main cast. If I could change my reality right now, I would want my wasted time for watching this back. I can't believe I really sat through the whole thing in the first place.

Beginning today (March 1, 2017), Sugar Creek Municipal Court is offering an opportunity to clear your warrants in Sugar Creek. Anyone with an active Sugar Creek warrant is eligible.
What You Need to Do:
What if I have Other Warrants Not in Sugar Creek?
If you have warrants in other jurisdictions than Sugar Creek, you will not be arrested when you initially appear at Sugar Creek. They have the right and will probably arrest you if you return for your Court date and still have outstanding warrants. So once you clear the Sugar Creek warrant, you will want to clear the other warrants as well.
For more information about the Sugar Creek Amnesty, call the Court Clerk at 816-521-7923.

A few weeks back I emailed my lovely vendors with a few basic questions, and the responses have been awesome. I LOVE how honest everyone is, and how the advice for newly engaged brides is so useful. So today it’s all about my lovely friend Ana from Nice Ribbon Ateiler. (She is a master baker and creative queen and we love her.)
What’s been the highlight of the year so far?
This has been a pretty good year, and I love every project I did, I always have the opportunity to work with some incredible clients, and also learn so much from the vendors I work with, in some of the events. If I had to choose a favorite project of this year, I don’t think I could, I think every single thing I did, was special in its own way, from the small cake for a kids party to a beautiful wedding cake.
Do you have any big plans for the next wedding season?
It is always challenging to start a new season, and I am sure this one will be full with new ideas, and a fresh start after a small summer break.
What will you be doing this summer?
This will be a pretty special Summer, since I will be out of work taking a Maternity Leave. We are having our first baby, so I think this is a really nice opportunity for me, to have a breath of fresh air, and come back full of good baby vibes and new ideas for the next season. I would like to focus not just in the baby, but also have the advantage of this time and organize my ideas, to come back to work and do what I love to do the most, designing some new things and be creative.
Do you have any advice for a newly engaged bride-to-be?
I think the key to a successful wedding is to ORGANIZE your ideas. I always recommend to compile a binder or have a plan (on writing), in your email, a to do list, a notebook, or whatever works for you, but always write down every idea you have on the way. I think is always nice to share your thoughts , and maybe some times a couple of inspiration pics with your vendors, maybe some notes that you write during your meetings, to explain the details and have a well put together idea of what would be your dream wedding. Your wedding vendors should be your guide during the process, but it is important for the bride-to-be, to keep a clear concept on what she wants to have, in order to get a successful and magical Wedding.

César’s family is from Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic. While attending secondary school at Loyola Polytechnic Institute, or IPL, (Instituto Politecnico Loyola) a business project taught him a lot about nutrition procedures and piqued his interest in agronomy.
César likes agriculture because, “I like to help. I wanted to study something that would allow me to serve others, especially an important career like this that allows me to produce food and help those with low incomes learn how to grow food for themselves.” After graduation, César plans to open a health and nutrition business. He loves everything that goes into food production, not just growing crops, but also making butter, marmalade and cheese. He wants to improve the processes used in the Dominican Republic, address the overuse of chemical fertilizers, and teach people in the food industry how to properly handle food. | <urn:uuid:8ca8baf5-706e-4db9-a71c-40b0e24b9ac1> | CC-MAIN-2020-50 | https://www.earth.ac.cr/en/support-earth/mastercardfdn/estudiante-cesar-alifonzo/ | 2020-11-30T07:15:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-50/segments/1606141211510.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20201130065516-20201130095516-00552.warc.gz | en | 0.962959 | 199 |

I've read/heard that Facebook can make people depressed or feel down, because seeing pictures and statuses of what they're friends are doing makes them feel bad about what they're doing. Like what they are doing isn't really all that great.
Well, I believe that is true. Seeing what my friends are doing makes me feel left out. I haven't done anything with freinds in quite a while, and seeing what they have been up to makes me feel like they don't want to be friends with me, as some of them still live in the same area as me, and they don't feel the need to include me in some of their activities.
It makes me feel kind of angry, and upset that they don't want to do anything with me anymore. I have invited them to do something with me, but they always declined.
It frustrates me that they don't seem to want to hang out with me anymore, so, I don't know what to do. A few of them have really been there for me a few years ago, when my mom died, helping me get through it. But now, it's like they don't even care anymore.
I don't want to let go of those friendships just yet, though. It's crazy, feeling this way when I'm an adult. But, it happens sometimes.
I'm hoping to be able to talk with them able this, and see how it goes from there. | <urn:uuid:23ba82ef-25a7-4086-a7a5-725ff94ec6cd> | CC-MAIN-2017-34 | http://myownlittlecorneroftheworld2012.blogspot.com/2014/02/feeling-left-out.html | 2017-08-16T13:18:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-34/segments/1502886101966.48/warc/CC-MAIN-20170816125013-20170816145013-00172.warc.gz | en | 0.993969 | 299 |

To satisfy a user’s complex requirements, Resource Description Framework (RDF) Stream Processing (RSP) systems envision the fusion of remote RDF data with semantic streams, using common data models to query semantic streams continuously. While streaming data are changing at a high rate and are pushed into RSP systems, the remote RDF data are retrieved from different remote sources. With the growth of SPARQL endpoints that provide access to remote RDF data, RSP systems can easily integrate the remote data with streams. Such integration provides new opportunities for mixing static (or quasi-static) data with streams on a large scale. However, the current RSP systems do not offer any optimisation for the integration. In this article, we present an adaptive plan-based approach to efficiently integrate sematic streams with the static data from a remote source. We create a query execution plan based on temporal constraints among constituent services for the timely acquisition of remote data. To predict the change of remote sources in real time, we propose an adaptive process of detecting a source update, forecasting the update in the future, deciding a new plan to obtain remote data and reacting to a new plan. We extend a SPARQL query with operators for describing the multiple strategies of the proposed adaptive process. Experimental results show that our approach is more efficient than the conventional RSP systems in distributed settings.

Former world number one Amelie Mauresmo and soon-to-become a Top 10 member Caroline Wozniacki will meet in the semifinals of the Mutua Madrilena Madrid Open.
Mauresmo advanced to the final four after fighting back from a set down to beat Agnes Szavay 5-7 6-1 6-1. In the third set, Mauresmo broke Szavay’s serve in the first, third and seventh game.
Earlier on Friday, ninth seed Caroline Wozniacki, who will become the first Danish woman to crack the Top 10, defeated Vera Dushevina 6-0 6-4.
Mauresmo and Wozniacki have never clashed so far, so we’ll watch their first career meeting.
In the other semifinal, world No.1 Dinara Safina, who beat Alona Bondarenko 6-4 6-3, will face the winner of the quarterfinal between fourth seed Jelena Jankovic and Patty Schnyder.

Manchester City have welcomed captain Vincent Kompany back into their starting XI for their FA Cup fourth round tie at Cardiff City.
Kompany has not started a match for City since picking up an injury against Newcastle on 27 December, and replaces John Stones at the heart of the City defence.
Sergio Aguero, meanwhile, is dropped to the bench, and with Gabriel Jesus still ruled out, Raheem Sterling will lead the line in a central role.
Aguero's absence means Bernardo Silva keeps his place from Tuesday's win over Bristol City, but David Silva is ruled out.
In total Pep Guardiola makes four changes from the team that secured a place in the Carabao Cup final, with Danilo and Ilkay Gundogan joining Kompany and Sterling in coming into the side.
Claudio Bravo keeps his place in goal, with the Chile international having deputised for Ederson in all of City's domestic cup matches this season.
Cardiff City: Etheridge; Richards, Morrison, Ecuele Manga, Bennett; Paterson, Ralls; Grujic, Hoilett, Mendez-Laing; Zohore.
Subs: Murphy, Tomlin, Feeney, Plikington, Halford, Damour, Bogle.
Manchester City: Bravo; Walker, Kompany, Otamendi, Danilo; De Bruyne, Fernandinho, Gundogan; Bernardo, Sterling, Sane.
Subs: Ederson, Stones, Adarabioyo, Mangala, Zinchenko, Brahim, Aguero. | <urn:uuid:395ffb72-863d-448c-9fca-07b81100b72c> | CC-MAIN-2020-24 | https://www.sportingnews.com/ca/soccer/news/man-city-team-news-kompany-returns-for-cardiff-clash-with-aguero-benched/1sxwp3m4oyf8n15jeez4p5g1gi | 2020-06-04T08:49:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-24/segments/1590347439213.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20200604063532-20200604093532-00501.warc.gz | en | 0.892524 | 332 |

GROWTH POTENTIAL THANKS TO COMPLEMENTARY PRODUCT RANGE FOR DISC PLANTERS
Horsham, VIC: RFM NT have announced a new OEM partnership with Disc Seeder Manufacturer, Serafin Machinery, for their Coil Gauge Wheels range. This partnership will allow Serafin Customers, especially those looking to get more hours out of their Single Disc Planters to buy products designed by Paul Ryan, direct.
“Darryl Serafin and I go back 20 years and are pleased to announce our partnership with the latest RFM No-Till product range,” says Paul (National Sales Manager at RFM NT). “We feel our products suit their well engineered disc planters.”
“I’m pretty impressed with what I’ve seen so far from the Coil Gauge Wheel and Paul Ryan’s focus on continuous improvement and service,” says Rodney Dunn (Sales Manager at Serafin Machinery). “The wheels are a good option in sticky condition on our Ultisow Single Disc Seeder bars.”
The benefits of this new partnership include:
- RFM NT’s Gauge Wheel product will be a revolutionary upgrade to
Serafin’s Disc Planter range.
- Will enable Serafin’s Planters to work longer in challenging conditions
- Allow RFM NT’s products to access more markets and raise more awareness of our brand.

3 August 2010
This year, as often now, the time for visiting Crop Circles is less and less, as the farmers delete formations even a few hours after their discovery.
Probably, due to ignorance or pressure from the British government, which considers the crop circles an uncomfortable reality.
Known of this formation, there was no time to lose, just ready we left for the site.
A few days before the clamour of the Double Crop Circle, reminiscent of the Jesus shroud, we were in one, symbolizing a cross of clear Catholic style, very unusual in the symbolism related to Crop Circles.
Was there a relation between the two Crop Circles?
It was a hot and sunny afternoon and fields shone with a fascinating magic coppering truly surreal.
This formation was fantastic and man-made or not, definitely a great job.
Here you are some details:
The crop circle was virgin, an ideal situation for analysis and measurements.
Once inside, we found a few lines on the stems, typical signs found on plants flattened by wooden boards, but I could not say for sure if these folds were at a constant distance or not.
Sometimes also in genuine crop circles, you can find such folds because of visitors who trample the plants, so without lines at a constant distance we can not say, at a glance, that have been used tables or other tools to bend plants physically.
There was no sign of abnormalities on the stems, and even on the ears.
There were no burns, abnormal dehydrations or bending at the nodes, typically 45° each node.
From the images you may notice that the folding of the plants occurred before the nodes, so there is no anomaly as they might have been flattened by physical pressure.
Of course, as for the rest of Crop Circles, what matters is not who created it, but rather the symbol that the formation represents, the cause of its creation and the feelings felt inside it.
We, personally, within this cerealogic cross, we experienced a surreal feeling of well-being, an experience very positive and curative.
We are in the new millennium, who cares who created the circle, aliens, spheres, humans, the primary question remains WHY ?
Meanwhile, looking up at the sky, we saw massive operations of Cloud Seeding (through the spraying of chemtrails) that would have soon patinated the sky, ruining the landscape and the atmosphere.
Crop circles are a mystery, but for sure I know that the chemtrails are a horrible reality!
Absolutely harmful, especially for humans, animals, plants and our beloved cereals.
Chemtrails on Crop Circles and in the the most sacred places of the Celtic culture?
An insult without restraint to the Goddess and everything that it represents!
The farmers should get angry about chemtrails, not for Crops!
Wake up farmers, if you find Crops in your fields, put a box for donations, with an inscription "£ 2 per visit" so repay you for the harvest "lost", but if you leave the formation for a long time, compatibly with the time of harvest, I think you could pick up even more than the value of the harvest itself.
Anyway it's your land, you decide, but we hope you will understand..
These unnecessary tension, must end.
Last year someone shot at some Norwegian tourists, NO COMMENT.
It's not so awful a paint in your field, compared to the global poisoning and sterilization in place,
via climatic manipulations and the spreading of bacteria, heavy metals and acidifying substances on the ground ?
However when we came out from the Cross of Lurkeley, right next to it, we saw a nice RDA (Randomly Downed Area) full of anomalies.
Often there are more anomalies in RDAs (non-geometric formations) than in "humanized" or geometric ones.
In the pictures below you can see the fascinating interweaves between the plants and the ears.
Softly, the seedlings were bent without sharp bends, visible from a couple of inches below the ground, therefore, could not have been used solid objects to lower them, also the ears were very curved on themselves and rigid as cement, the curvature therefore reminded genetic modification, then a message or warning related to the problem of the notorious GMOs?
Below another RDA found in the opposite hill, the design and symbols are not understood and seem, random, but may instead contain a message in an alphabet that is not our geometry.
THE GODDESS STONE, COMMUNICATING WITH CROP CIRCLE CREATORS
Oh I almost forgot, in the central circle of the cross, in the perfect centre of the formation I have found a very peculiar stone.
In fact, on its back, you can see something that might call to mind, a crater or however a symbol linked to cults or matriarchal Goddess herself from the thriving and perpetually pregnant belly.
Next to the symbol in the lower right you can see a well-defined rhomboidal object, that does not seem natural, clearly modelled that might resemble an airplane, or something like that ..
I could swear to see also some symbols or inscriptions on the stone, if anyone has any idea of what they represent, please contact me here or in private.
If this formation was made by guys with boards and ropes, I wonder if they knew they were going to create a Crop Circle, the centre of which rested on a stone with a circle ..
in the circle of the circle,
the whirlwind of fascinating fascination.
Perhaps it was the field, who have chosen its painters ...
WITH SOME SPHAERALUX ALWAYS BESIDE
After some analysis, I managed to find a couple of photos that highlight two spherical objects from the emitting surface, in the formation, here are the pictures:
Keep in mind that I was very far from the spheres but judging by the proportions, I would say that might have had a diameter of about 15 cm.
THE PLANETARY ACTIVATION OF THE RAISING CONSCIOUSNESS
Below is a video about the Lurkeley formation, i made it in 2010, but only few days ago I had oneirically permission to publish it, enjoy it.
Regarding the cross symbol represented in the formation, at first glance unusual in the Crop Circles symbolism, it refers to the CARDINAL GRAND CROSS OF 7 AUGUST 2010, a powerful astrological configuration, in this case also rare, given the impacts of planetary and satellite.
In eXotericism, the three ASTROLOGICAL CROSSES, are related to the THREE CROSSES ON THE GOLGOTHA, in the biblical messages regarding the Calvary of Jesus.
These are the three great trials or crisis, which the neophyte must face in life, these crosses can be experienced, early or late in life, the decision is up to the planets and their whirls.
Returning to our crosses, political class aside, the CARDINAL GRAND CROSS corresponds to the super crisis that faces the adept, at the time of his symbolic death, which corresponds at the birth of a NEO EGO, more evolved, sublimated.
Overcoming the crisis also includes the achievement of that detached point of union, which frees one from The Chakra of Karma.
If the other two crosses, fixed and mobile, are experienced by many, the cardinal concerns a much smaller number of beings, a privilege for those who can live this event.
Steve Alexander Copyright 2010
In our case, the catholicity of the Cross, indicated that the astrological cross, would not have been Fixed or Mobile but "Cardinal" that would have involved the four cardinal signs, which move the energetic foundations of the other two categories and regulate all their forms of expression.
Possible effects of this Cardinal Grand Cross:
- More Earth changes and climate chaos ( HAARP and CLOUD SEEDING operations ? ).
- Aggressive ( not necessarily violent ) collective action that confronts the power structures.
- A stimulation of the Youth that engages them to act in 60s style even without the drugs.
- A personal coming out for individuals, to be Big and vocalize all the truths they’ve sensed
in their gut.
- More outing of the shadow government and its agenda of control. As individuals claim their power,
the 'energy' of tyranny wanes.
- The rise of moral conscience, with boycotts, divestments, and pursuit of justice for buried crimes.
- Earth people discovering their ancient and off-world cyclical history, with past cataclysm as part of
- People restore cyclical living and face ageing with grace, and reinvigorate death as a life passage.
According to the science of Zoroaster, this configuration would introduce the development of a manifest cycle of the Aquarian age, the first palpable sprouts.
Sharing will be more physical, economic, real ..
This will terrify the lords of private property and the owners of dogmas.
The Raise of Feminine Power
The Cancer energies are tidal, so its fitting that these lunar currents move in and out over the summer. A big date is June 26th, with the Full Moon in Cancer/lunar eclipse in opposition to the Sun-Mercury in Cancer. The Cancer corner completes the square with all four elements. Great Kali-level Mother energies (in men and women) are going to rise with fury and the drive to protect.
Women overcome aeons of denigration of the Feminine to find their power through the heart, and use soul force to enact great change. They restore their place of reverence, as life-givers, as they rise up to defend Earth and its vulnerable creatures and living things.
The Cross of Lurkeley, as for the famous comet of Bethlehem, was about to announce the upcoming astrological event, practically THE COMET OF THE REAL NEW AGE.
In sum everything will be like ever !!
META DIALOGUE WITH A CROP CIRCLE
The day before yesterday, the site The Crop Circle Connector added in my report, the part where I was exposing the curious discovery of stone with a symbol reminiscent of the Goddess, right in the centre of the formation of Lurkeley.
The webmaster, was slightly reluctant to publish it, but I insisted, so as to experience eventual reactions from the creators of Crop Circle or whatever / entity had created this formation.
Well, maybe not related at all, but it remains a strong coincidence or better the fact, that few hours later, it was reported a second Crop Circle, right next to the first in which I found the stone ..
Prompt reaction I would say, it isn't it ?
Images from The Crop Circle Connector by Frank Laumen
This is the one and only Progressive Double Circle of the entire 2010 season, "coincidence" really at the limit it isn't it ?
The symbol represented by the new line is a circle with another circle inside it with a few lines that look like scratches, reminiscent of the tracks left while you dig (perhaps a reference to my discovery), or may represent the hieroglyph of water, to be correlated with the symbol of the Mother Goddess, for excellence intimately tied to the element WATER.
The water hypothesis is strengthened by the fact that the formation is mirrored, and recalls one of the most typical properties of this element.
Finally, again in the new formation, you can clearly see a rhomboidal object very similar, if not identical, to that in relief on the stone found in the formation.
We can therefore think that the set of coincidences found, from the reporting of the artefact found to the subsequent appearance of this second Crop Circle, are strong enough to say with confidence that we were able to establish a channel of communication with those who have made these two Crop Circles or at least one of them.
Honestly, that they were human or not, I do not care, the importance and the success of the experience remain intact and exceptionally amazing.
