Lyrics by: Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil:
Katy the Farmer’s Daughter You can’t resist that gal.
She’s country style, but city designed;
Got a smile that’s sprinkled with sunshine.
Look at the Farmer’s Daughter; She’ll perk up your morale.
Her brand of charm is so disarming, Frowns turn upside down.
We owe a debt to Sweden. She’s just what we’ve been needin’.
So glad the Farmer’s Daughter came to town.
This story loosely follows the plot of the 1947 movie from which it was named. A U.S. Congressman Glen Morley (William Windom) lives in Washington D.C. with his two young sons and his Mother Agatha Morley (Cathleen Nesbit).
Along comes this naive farmers daughter Katrin Holstrum (Inger Stevens) from Minnesotan (the Congressman’s constituency) looking for an international job. The Congressman likes what he sees and hires her on the spot to be his children’s nanny (at that time called a governess).
Well she not only cares for the children, helps out Mother, solves domestic and international crisis’s in the government but also manages to get Congressman Morley to fall in love with her. She accomplishes all this by using her down to earth charm and farm girl common sense.
The romance between the two grows until in the beginning of the third season they get married. This is great news for them but not so much for the viewers. Ratings that season fell prompting a cancellation. In an unusual move however instead of just cutting the show off which was he norm, the studio allowed them to have some closure with Katrin adopting his sons and all of them living happily ever after … hooray for Hollywood!

Would like to insert "Search description" in header of report which would change dynamically.
Greetings, I've created a loan tracking database with a variety of metrics about each loan. I have a dashboard layout with two dozen buttons on it to run a script, present the data in a summary report and with the new charts. ie: loans over a certain size, paid off, charged off, still active and so on. I was thinking it would be cool if I used a script named "Loans over $2,000 that are still active" and that would should up in the header. And when I ran the next script report "Loans paid off early" this title would show in the header even though both reports used the same layout. I have been unable to find an answer, Any help would be appreciated. | <urn:uuid:5a4ba8d5-ba91-42cc-8f4c-bfa4068281db> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://community.filemaker.com/thread/131466 | 2018-06-24T14:55:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267866965.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20180624141349-20180624161349-00481.warc.gz | en | 0.97239 | 167 |

Nonverbal communication in business
There are five key elements that can make or break your attempt at successful non-verbal business communication:
- Eye contact
- Posture, and
- Written communication
Let’s examine each nonverbal element in turn to see how we can maximise your potential to communicate effectively…
Good eye contact helps your audience develop trust in you, thereby helping you and your message appear credible. Poor eye contact does exactly the opposite.
So what IS ‘good’ eye contact?
People rely on visual clues to help them decide on whether to attend to a message or not. If they find that someone isn’t ‘looking’ at them when they are being spoken to, they feel uneasy.
So it is a wise business communicator that makes a point of attempting to engage every member of the audience by looking at them.
Now, this is of course easy if the audience is just a handful of people, but in an auditorium it can be a much harder task. So balance your time between these three areas:
- slowly scanning the entire audience,
- focusing on particular areas of your audience (perhaps looking at the wall between two heads if you are still intimidated by public speaking), and
- looking at individual members of the audience for about five seconds per person.
Looking at individual members of a large group can be ‘tricky’ to get right at first.
Equally, it can be a fine balancing act if your audience comprises of just one or two members—spend too much time looking them in the eyes and they will feel intimidated, stared at, ‘hunted down’.
So here’s a useful tip: break your eye-to-eye contact down to four or five second chunks.
That is, look at the other person in blocks that last four to five seconds, then look away. That way they won’t feel intimidated.
Practice this timing yourself, away from others. Just look at a spot on the wall, count to five, then look away. With practice you will be able to develop a ‘feel’ for how long you have been looking into your audience member’s eyes and intuitively know when to look away and focus on another person or object.
When focusing on individual members in a large meeting or auditorium, try and geographically spread your attention throughout the room. That is, don’t just focus your personal gaze (as distinct from when you are scanning the room or looking at sections of the room) on selected individuals from just one part of the room. Unless you are specifically looking to interact with a particular person at that moment of your presentation, select your individual eye-contact audience members from the whole room.
Most of us, when talking with our friends, use our hands and face to help us describe an event or object—powerful nonverbal aids.
We wave our arms about, turn our hands this way and that, roll our eyes, raise our eyebrows, and smile or frown.
Yet many of us also, when presenting to others in a more formal setting, ‘clam up’.
Our audience of friends is no different from our business audience—theyall rely on our face and hands (and sometimes legs, feet and other parts of us!) to ‘see’ the bigger, fuller picture.
It is totally understandable that our nervousness can cause us to ‘freeze up’, but is is in our and our communication’s best interests if we manage that nervousness, manage our fear of public speaking, and use our body to help emphasise our point.
I found that by joining a local Toastmasters International club I was rapidly able to learn how to ‘free up my body’ when presenting to others.
Ever watch great presenters in action—men and women who are alone on the stage yet make us laugh, cry and be swept along by their words and enthusiasm?
Watch them carefully and you’ll note that they don’t stand rigidly in one spot. No, they bounce and run and stroll and glide all around the stage.
Why do they do that?
Because they know that we human beings, men in particular, are drawn to movement.
As part of man’s genetic heritage we are programmed to pay attention to movement. We instantly notice it, whether we want to or not, assessing the movement for any hint of a threat to us.
This, of course, helps explain why many men are drawn to the TV and seem transfixed by it. It also helps explain why men in particular are almost ‘glued’ to the TV when there is any sport on. All that movement!
But to get back to the stage and you on it… ensure that any movement you make is meaningful and not just nervous fidgetting, like rocking back and forth on your heels or moving two steps forward and back, or side to side.
This is ‘nervous movement’ and your nervousness will transmit itself to your audience, significantly diluting the potency of your communication and message.
So move about the stage when you can—not just to keep the men in the audience happy, but to help emphasise your message!
There are two kinds of ‘posture’ and it is the wise communicator that manages and utilizes both.
The first type of ‘posture’ is the one we think of intuitively—the straight back versues the slumped shoulders; the feet-apart confident stance verses the feet together, hand-wringing of the nervous; the head up and smiling versus the head down and frowing.
And every one of the positions we place the various elements of our body in tells a story—a powerful, nonverbal story.
For example, stand upright, shoulders straight, head up and eyes facing the front. Wear a big smile. Notice how you ‘feel’ emotionally.
Now—slump your shoulders, look at the floor and slightly shuffle your feet. Again, take a note of your emotional state.
Notice the difference?
Your audience surely will, and react to you and your message accordingly.
A strong, upright, positive body posture not only helps you breath easier (good for helping to calm nerves!) but also transmits a message of authority, confidence, trust and power.
If you find yourself challenged to maintain such a posture, practice in front of a mirror, or better yet join a speaking club like Toastmasters International.
The second type of ‘posture’ comes from your internal mental and emotional states.
You can have great body posture but without internal mental and emotional posture your words will sound hollow to your audience.
For example, the used car salesman at ‘Dodgy Brothers Motors’ might have great body posture and greet you with a firm handshake, a steady gaze and a friendly smile. But if in his heart he is seeing you as just another sucker then sooner or later his internal conflict between what he says and what he really thinks will cause him to ‘trip up’.
His body will start betraying his real, underlying intentions and you’ll start to feel uncomfortable around him, even if you can’t figure out why.
But, if that same used car salesman had a genuine desire to help you find the right car for you, and he puts your needs before his own, then his words and actions will remain congruent (in harmony) with his underlying intentions and you will trust him, even though you might not be able to identify why.
I have seen some supposed ‘self help’ gurus who don’t actually practice what they preach. Consequently their words ring hollow to me and their books, cds, dvds and training materials remain unpurchased.
I have met salesmen and women who don’t actually make the money they claim to make in their ‘fabulous business opportunity’, and while their words are
This second type of ‘posture’ is fundamentally tied to truth and honesty. It is about ‘walking the talk’ and being who you say you are.
It’s about not trying to sell something you don’t believe in or use yourself. It’s about not trying to pass yourself off as an expert when all you’ve ever done is read a book on the subject.
It’s all about making sure that your words and your intentions are underpinned by truth and honesty. Because all of us, no matter how polished a presenter we might be, are at the mercy of our body and its ability to ‘tell the truth’ in spite of what our lips might utter. Nonverbal clues rule!
I could spend a lifetime writing about the art of written communication.
There is an art (and also a science) that can be learnt with diligence and practice. To write too formally; to write too informally; to write too briefly; to write too lengthily…
My first suggestion would be to avail yourself of one of the following three books, each of which is absolutely brilliant at giving you the skills and insights into effective business writing:
The Business Style Handbook, Second Edition: An A-to-Z Guide for Effective Writing on the Job by Helen Cunningham and Brenda Greene (my favourite)
Effective Business Writing: A Guide For Those Who Write on the Job (2nd Edition Revised and Updated) by Maryann V. Piotrowski
From persuasive memos to complaint letters, sales letters to executive summaries—these exceedingly useful guides help you to write clearly and in an appropriate format, style and tone. Each book has numerous examples that show how to overcome writer’s block, organize messages for maximum impact, achieve an easy-to-read style, find an efficient writing system and much more.
There are five key elements that can make or break your attempt at successful nonverbal business communication
- Eye contact
- Posture, and
- Written communication
Nonverbal communication in a business setting requires not only recognition of these elements, but confidence in meeting their challenges. | <urn:uuid:cb6dbae0-7afe-447f-a4a1-705d11758fe6> | CC-MAIN-2019-39 | https://bettercommunicationresults.com.au/2018/08/the-five-key-elements-to-nonverbal-communication-in-business/ | 2019-09-21T05:15:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-39/segments/1568514574265.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20190921043014-20190921065014-00480.warc.gz | en | 0.937935 | 2,115 |

The squiggly guys in this article's cover image are Propionibacterium acnes. These bacteria live in low-oxygen conditions at the base of hair follicles all over your body. They mind their own business, eating cellular debris and sebum, the oily stuff secreted by sebaceous glands that help keep things moisturized. Everybody has P. acnes bacteria—which are commonly blamed for causing acne—but researchers took a bigger view and discovered P. acnes may also play a part in keeping your skin clear.
Acne, or acne vulgaris, is common, frustrating, and can impact how you look at yourself, especially in the mirror. As the most common skin condition in the US, the American Academy of Dermotology estimates 50 million people suffer acne each year. While upwards of 85% of people have acne at some point in their lives, it doesn't make the condition any easier, or less personal.
While the costs of treating acne each year are more than $3 billion, that doesn't include the enormous costs paid by people who try pricey "natural" acne treatment systems, home concoctions, or questionable remedies suggested by friends—anything to make the zits go away. Recent research, presented at the Microbiology Society's Annual Conference by a team from the David Geffen School of Medicine in UCLA, may open doors for new options in the treatment of acne.
Despite the variety of treatments available to those who suffer acne, most topical remedies treat the symptoms, like the skin lesions, and leave dry skin as a result.
Broad spectrum antibiotics are a longtime go-to treatment of acne. Acne has several triggers, including hormones, stress, fatigue, medications, and genetics. Those triggers increase production of sebum in hair follicles, which is the equivalent of creating a full-time buffet for P. acnes. Rather than push away from the table, the bacteria overproduce to take advantage of the food supply, among other things. The resulting backup of bacteria, oil, and other stuff clogs pores and keeps oil from emptying onto the surface of the skin, causing what we call acne.
Antibiotics prescribed for acne reduce the bacteria population, but cannot remedy the underlying cause of the condition. Along the way, antibiotics indiscriminately kill important beneficial bacteria throughout the body and contribute to the problem of drug-resistant bacteria.
The UCLA group took a different approach altogether. By using pore cleansing strips available over the counter, scientists took samples from 38 healthy young adults with acne, and 30 without acne. Researchers also sampled follicles from four adults ages 55 through 79.
Using metagenomic shotgun sequencing, the team identified the players present in the community of bacteria on each participant's face, or skin microbiome. Metagenomic shotgun sequencing is a process that allows researchers to have a look at the diversity of microorganisms present in an environment, in this case, the human skin. By using the shotgun (broad) approach, scientists could analyze DNA samples that could otherwise be impossible to study.
The findings of the study offer some hope for those who suffer acne:
- For good and forever, P. acnes: The bacteria commonly blamed for acne are present in the skin microbiome of those with and without acne. But the strains of P. acnes were different between the two groups. In the group without acne, the P. acnes strains support bacterial metabolism, and are considered important for healthy skin. In the group of participants with acne, there were less helpful strains of P. acnes that were more likely to trigger skin damage.
- Age, the ultimate cure: The skin microbiome of participants over age 50 was similar to those of younger participants without acne. As the authors note, acne rarely occurs in adults over age 50.
- Friends and neighbors: P. acnes and its relative Propionibacterium granulosum are important members of a healthy skin microbiome. Study authors note the abundance of these bacteria in healthy individuals "suggest a role for these species in skin health." These bacteria produce a secretion that has antimicrobial properties and helps maintain an acidic skin pH. The acidic pH, just like the skin of the scalp, helps defend the skin against pathogens.
Study authors suggest development of focused treatments "that can target specific helpful (and non-helpful) P. acnes strains and thus shift the strain (or type of bacteria) composition to a healthy skin microbiota."
Far from a one tube of benzoyl peroxide fits all condition, the research notes "acne is a disease with a wide spectrum of severity and that the skin microbiome is reflective of this large variation." The study finds acne is a result of a "disrupted balance in the . . . microbiota" that contributes to disease severity, rather than attributing the condition to one harmful microorganism that actually has a pretty important role in keeping skin healthy.
Understanding the bacterial community on the skin is important for the development of personalised treatments in acne. Instead of killing all bacteria, including the beneficial ones, we should focus on shifting the balance toward a healthy microbiota by targeting harmful bacteria or enriching beneficial bacteria.
This study offers new science to look at an old problem. Someday in the not-too-distant future, if you suffer acne, you may be handed a lotion that contains priobiotic bacteria to restore your skin microbiome, instead of a prescription for an antibiotic that disrupts it further. In the meantime, if acne gets you down, see a dermatologist to talk about options that might work for you right now. | <urn:uuid:22cfaba6-4031-4c1f-899f-593f8fb35cc6> | CC-MAIN-2018-13 | https://invisiverse.wonderhowto.com/news/frustrated-by-acne-new-research-shows-skin-microbiome-makes-difference-0176906/ | 2018-03-22T17:58:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-13/segments/1521257647901.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20180322170754-20180322190754-00051.warc.gz | en | 0.935009 | 1,141 |
Sans Russell Westbrook, and left to rely on Serge Ibaka and Kevin Martin to assist the undoubtedly exhausted Kevin Durant, the Thunder are no longer in the position of power they hoped to be in against the Memphis Grizzlies.
Oklahoma City has found itself in a 2-1 hole against one of the best defensive teams in the league, and its offense has bordered on anemic. The Thunder have failed to eclipse 100 points in three consecutive games, which is now their longest streak of the season.
To be fair to the Grizzlies, they were 2-1 against the Thunder during the regular season and held them to under 100 points in two of those three contests. It's difficult to score on them. Their rotations are flawless, they guard the three-point shot well and I pity the fool not named Kevin Durant who attempts to attack the rim with Marc Gasol safeguarding the paint.
Still, more was expected of the Thunder. To be more specific, more was expected of Ibaka and Martin.
Through the first three games of the series, Ibaka is averaging 9.7 points and 6.7 rebounds on 30.8 percent shooting. This comes after he averaged a career-high 13.2 points and 7.7 rebounds on 57.3 percent shooting during the regular season.
Martin hasn't been much better. He's averaging 14.7 points on 38.1 percent shooting a night. He is knocking down over 40 percent of his three-point attempts, but that has meant very little.
And so, once again, we're left wondering if the Thunder didn't make the wrong decision retaining Ibaka over Harden.
I pondered the answer to this very question while Oklahoma City attempted to stave off an epic meltdown against the Houston Rockets. I concluded that the Thunder made the right decision. If they had to pick one—I still maintain they could have kept both—Ibaka filled a need, and Martin could replace much of Harden's scoring.
To a large extent, I still believe just this. Had the Thunder known that Westbrook would tear his meniscus, of course they would have held onto Harden.
But they didn't know. How could they? No team in the NBA is capable of making those predictions. And you can't build your team in fear. If you did, you'd find a reason not to do just about everything.
In conjunction with not being able to foresee the unpredictable, there were numbers to support my claim. Statistically speaking, the Thunder were better on both ends of the floor this season than they were last, numbers that I won't get into detail with because they're nearly irrelevant here (you can take a gander at them in the above-linked article, though).
Much of Oklahoma City's increased (numerical) success had to do with Durant and Westbrook evolving. Without Harden, the two had to take their games up a notch, a transcendence they may not have undergone had their second-unit safety net not been sent to Houston.
Knowing how well Ibaka (and Martin) had played during the regular season in association with the team's not-so-subtle advancements only served as further proof that the Thunder made the right decision.
As we watch Ibaka play like he ate the bones, though, I'm compelled to reconsider my original stance.
I still believe the Thunder made the right decision based on how they were thinking. They didn't deal Harden because they thought Ibaka had a higher ceiling; they just understood that Ibaka filled a need and Harden was a luxury.
So their flaw wasn't in their logic; it's how they got there. The Thunder chose satisfying a need over a more prolific talent—please don't even attempt to argue that Ibaka has more potential—when they perhaps should have chosen the latter over the former.
Again, Oklahoma City couldn't have predicted that Westbrook would go down. But when dealing with an ultimatum that the Thunder themselves imposed, you have to consider the move from all angles.
From there, you have to ask: Who would you rather build around?
The answer? Harden.
Ibaka is talented, without a doubt. But he's not someone you build your team around. He's a complementary piece who capitalizes off the presence of superstars on the offensive end, but that's not a bad thing.
Very few big men are capable of carrying teams on their own nowadays. The three-point shot has changed things, as have stretch forwards. It's a guard/wing's league now.
Over the course of the regular season, the Thunder were able to withstand the subtle disadvantages that came with being Harden-less. Come the playoffs, when the rotations are shortened and yes, when a top-10 superstar goes down for the season, they can't be cloaked as easily. Or even at all.
With Harden, the Thunder would be in a better position to beat the Grizzlies and contend for a championship than they are now. Harden can't be removed from the offense the way Ibaka can. He creates his own shot and makes plays for his teammates while Ibaka isn't known for doing either.
Ibaka—the league's leading shot-blocker—is more talented defensively, but Oklahoma City isn't known for its defense. The Thunder ranked fourth in defensive efficiency during the regular season, but their success is predicated upon the ability to score. Harden can do that better than Ibaka (and Martin).
Did the Thunder's depth chart need Ibaka more than it did Harden?
Absolutely. And by that account, the Thunder made the right decision choosing Ibaka over Harden.
After watching how the Thunder have—how Ibaka has—struggled in the face of adversity, however, it's become clear that Oklahoma City may have just been providing the right answer to the wrong question.

It’s the bigger or charismatic of animals that get targeted by human hunters. These give off more meat, more pelt and make for better trophies. The effects of over-hunting and poaching are well documented. Most markedly, this results in extinction and ecosystem destabilization. A new study, however, adds a new frighting dimension to hunting: climate change acceleration through loss of carbon storage.
The world’s forests act like carbon sinks, sucking up much of the excess carbon from the air while providing fresh O2 in the process. Tree store this carbon keeping it from warming the planet. Naturally, deforestation will mean that this carbon storage capability will be reduced, with global warming as a direct consequence. But killing animals can be just as damaging to the ecosystem as cutting down trees, a new study made by Brazilian researchers suggests.
Frugivores – animals who eat fruit – are considered to be important seed disperses for many tropical plant species. Seed and/or fruit size limits the number of frugivores that can disperse the seeds and, in general, large frugivores can handle a wider range of fruit sizes than small frugivores. These large frugivores are thought to be vulnerable to extinction in the face of selective hunting and habitat loss and degradation . Therefore, plants that produce large-sized fruits and/or seeds may be vulnerable to extinction when they lose their natural seed dispersers.
The researchers devised an ecological model using data gathered by extensive surveys across the Atlantic Forest of Brazil — the second largest rainforest in South America, but also one of the most devastated wood covered regions in the world by deforestation. “When you land in Rio de Janeiro, for instance, you are landing in the Atlantic forest,” says Mauro Galetti, one of the study’s authors and also based at the Universidade Estadual Paulista. “But only 12 percent of this forest is left, it was destroyed in the last 500 years.”
The analysis suggests that without large frugivores like tapirs, spider monkeys, toucans and agoutis, the rain forest would look strikingly different. The diversity in tree species plummets. A more densely packed forest, but with much smaller trees (an proportionally smaller carbon sequestration value) takes its place since these bear smaller seeds which are dispersed by bats, birds and small marsupials (not hunters’ favorite).
Their work shows a close relationship between large fruit-eating vertebrate animals and the tallest trees, and the researchers claim this analysis should apply to all of South America’s rainforests – not just the Atlantic Forest.
“Halting the ongoing, fast-paced defaunation of tropical forests will not only save large charismatic animals and the plants they disperse but also have effects on climate change, carbon markets, and reforestation processes,” the authors conclude.
Most climate change discussions revolve around carbon, trees and the oceans. Maybe it’s time animals get included as well. Their contributions surely warrant serious consideration.

BOURNEMOUTH — The pressure isn’t getting to Chelsea or Antonio Conte. At all.
[ MORE: 3 things we learned ]
On Saturday the Blues strode into the Vitality Stadium and beat Bournemouth 3-1 with minimum fuss, regaining their seven point lead atop the Premier League after Tottenham had momentarily cut it down to four points.
Throughout the game Chelsea’s fans sang “Tottenham Hotspur, we’re waiting for you!” with a smugness which suggests they know the deal has almost been sealed.
Playing after Tottenham in two of their next four games, Chelsea will have to handle seeing their lead diminish for a time before they get the chance to move clear again.
Speaking in his press conference after the game, Conte revealed he thrives on pressure.
“I like the pressure. I live with pressure. If I don’t see pressure, I put pressure,” Conte said. “Because I think that the pressure gives you the best of yourself.”
Conte chuckled after that last statement, smiling as he raised his eyebrows. It is clear the pressure isn’t getting to Chelsea.
Even though they survived an early scare when David Luiz almost scored a spectacular own goal, plus when Benik Afobe‘s shot hit the inside of the post and Bournemouth rallied after making it 2-1, Chelsea carved their opponents open time and time again and had a determination to defend.
They haven’t kept a clean sheet in their last nine PL games, a run stretching back to January, and those defensive mistakes may be the only way back in for their title rivals.
[ MORE: Latest Premier League standings ]
With the west London club seven points clear with seven games to go, they are running out of time to slip up and let Spurs in. Tottenham have won six straight games in the Premier League as they battered Watford 4-0 in the early game on Saturday.
Even though Spurs are doing everything they can to hunt Chelsea down, the Blues are edging closer to the title in Conte’s first season in charge. It’s so close they can almost taste it.
“I don’t smell the victory because there are seven games to go. We have a schedule that is not easy. We know this. It is important to go game by game,” Conte said. “In this case after the defeat against Crystal Palace, which we didn’t deserved, we played Man City, we can drop points and today against Bournemouth we could drop points. Instead we won both games. We have to continue this way, to play game by game, be focused and concentrate because, for sure, Tottenham has a great desire to win the title. We must have the same desire.”
A trip to Manchester United next weekend could be Chelsea’s biggest challenge yet in the run-in. If Tottenham win and Chelsea lose at Old Trafford, the gap could be down to four points.
Then, if Chelsea slip up at home to in-form Southampton the Tuesday after and Tottenham beat Crystal Palace the following day their lead will be down to one point with four games to go. There are a lot of ‘ifs’ there but Conte and his teams are failing to get ahead of themselves.
While lesser men have crumbled in these type of pressure situations in the past, Conte is feeding from it. So are his players.
That’s why Chelsea are the champions elect. | <urn:uuid:29701686-7edb-47cc-bb10-449f46357dcf> | CC-MAIN-2018-09 | http://soccer.nbcsports.com/2017/04/08/conte-on-chelseas-title-run-in-i-like-the-pressure/ | 2018-02-21T10:46:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-09/segments/1518891813608.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20180221103712-20180221123712-00575.warc.gz | en | 0.962237 | 745 |

Climber belaying on Coire an Lochan. Conditions were reported to be quite verglassed.
Looking East over the Grey Coires
Despite a slightly threatening sky it was quite a pleasant day on the hill. I took a wander over to Aonach Beag. The snow is generally pretty firm with crampons being necessary on all but the gentlest of slopes. Although isolated there are a few wee pockets of slab about.

New poll numbers show President Donald Trump’s base might finally be slipping.
Though the 45th president has seen some of the lowest poll numbers of any modern president since he entered the Oval Office in January, Trump's approval ratings have now hit an all-time low. Just 36 percent of Americans now say they approve of Trump’s performance – the lowest approval rating at the six-month mark of any president since modern polling began about 70 years ago, according to a new Washington Post/ABC News poll.
Low approval ratings are nothing new for President Trump, who entered office with the lowest approval rating of all time, at 45 percent, according to Gallup.
Trump’s approval rating has continued to erode further over the past six months, and as his administration has failed to deliver on key campaign promises like his border wall, Muslim ban and healthcare repeal, so also goes his Republican stronghold.
Seventy percent of people surveyed in the Washington Post/ABC poll see Trump’s behavior as president as “unpresidential.” Just 24 percent described his behavior since taking office as “proper and fitting.”
Among Republicans, 38 percent say Trump has acted unpresidential since entering the office, and ABC's polling analyst Gary Langer said dissatisfaction is growing among groups who strongly supported Trump in the 2016 election. Forty-eight percent of evangelical white Protestants and 55 percent of non-college-educated white men agreed that Trump’s behavior falls short of expectation.
Trump’s actions both in person and on Twitter have long been a source of controversy, helping drive his approval ratings into the ground. Trump has claimed the media wants him to stop tweeting because they know it allows him to communicate directly with his base, but the fact is the president’s off-the-cuff and inflammatory Twitter style is driving major web traffic for many news organizations, and it's his fellow Republican politicians that want him to stop.
Trump has a message for them regardless of their political affiliation or agenda: "My use of social media is not Presidential – it's MODERN DAY PRESIDENTIAL. Make America Great Again!" he tweeted on July 1.
My use of social media is not Presidential - it’s MODERN DAY PRESIDENTIAL. Make America Great Again!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 1, 2017
But he might be the only one with that opinion – the Post/ABC poll surveyed Americans on the heels of yet another shocking revelation in the investigation into whether the Trump campaign colluded with Russia to influence the 2016 election.
Last week, the president’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr, admitted to meeting with a Russian lawyer whom he thought had evidence on then-Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. Under federal law, it’s illegal to receive political opposition research from foreign nationals.
Twitter, it seems, is playing a major role in the growing negative perception around President Trump.
More than two-thirds – about 68 percent – of those surveyed in the Post/ABC poll said Trump's tweets are "inappropriate" or "insulting" (65 percent). Fifty-two percent said the tweets are "dangerous." And just 21 percent called the tweets "refreshing," which included just 41 percent of self-identified Republicans who describe the tweets as "refreshing."
But taking to Twitter on Monday, Trump seemed unphased by the latest revelations on his approval ratings.
“The ABC/Washington Post Poll, even though almost 40 [percent] is not bad at this time, was just about the most inaccurate poll around election time!”
The ABC/Washington Post Poll, even though almost 40% is not bad at this time, was just about the most inaccurate poll around election time!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 16, 2017
Actually, the polls were only about 3.5 percentage points off, but don’t expect Trump to listen – he also claims he won the popular vote. | <urn:uuid:efd55f37-ff01-41d7-98b9-776288b90be3> | CC-MAIN-2018-39 | https://www.metro.us/node/711412 | 2018-09-22T19:47:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-39/segments/1537267158633.40/warc/CC-MAIN-20180922182020-20180922202420-00310.warc.gz | en | 0.966644 | 821 |
Bio-dynamics is a philosophy and method of agriculture developed by Rudolph Steiner in the 1920s. Its focus is to help people work with nature to grow healthy food. In many ways, it is similar to organic gardening. Both methods avoid chemical inputs and rely on composting, crop rotation, and other techniques. What makes bio-dynamics different is that its holistic influences. A bio-dynamic farm would strive to be a self-supporting system that mimics an ecosystem. Gardeners that follow this method of agriculture also believe that cosmic rhythms influence plant growth. | <urn:uuid:0301a681-ddba-4dd8-8b64-a4908ef28a1a> | CC-MAIN-2017-17 | https://www.westcoastseeds.com/garden-resources/glossary/bio-dynamic-gardening/ | 2017-04-24T17:11:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-17/segments/1492917119642.3/warc/CC-MAIN-20170423031159-00522-ip-10-145-167-34.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.96212 | 118 |

If this version of wiki software supports aliases or something similar,
it would be wise, as you said, to link "news" to an alias, and modify
this alias accordingly...

I agree. I'll ask Roh about this.

Former X Factor finalist Lloyd Macey has revealed all about his time on The X Factor.
Lloyd was a contestant on last year's series, making it as far as the semi-finals.
Now the Welsh singer has opened up about his experience - and being mentored by Louis Walsh.
In a BBC documentary, Lloyd says in Welsh: "A lot of things have changed. My appearance has become more important."
He explains: "People were brought in for teeth whitening, then facials, spray tan. It's a different one to the world I'm used to.
"Louis spoke to us all and gave us all advice. He told me the way I was is great, my voice is incredible but I need to lose weight."
Lloyd claims Louis told him: "People aren't voting with just their ears, they're voting with their eyes as well.
"They want to see someone who looks good," Lloyd continued (via The Sun). "They showed me how to make everything look perfect.
"I was starting to turn into, I wouldn't say a robot...I was turning into Lloyd Macey but not the familiar Lloyd Macey.
"Lloyd Macey the performer."
Lloyd recently appeared on The X Factor tour, where he won the night in front of his home crowd in Cardiff.
The 2018 arena tour visited all the major cities across the nation with contestants performing classic songs and viewer's favourites from this year's series.
The X Factor digital host, Becca Dudley, was on the road with the contestants and presenting the tour competition each night.
Alongside Lloyd, the acts on The X Factor tour 2018 were Simon Cowell's Groups Rak-Su and The CutKelvins and Sharon Osbourne's top Girl Grace Davies.

Sprawling Munich (München), home to some 1.5 million people, is the capital of Bavaria and one of Germany’s major cultural centers. It’s one of Europe’s most festive cities, and its location, at the foot of the Alps, is idyllic for your vacation experience.
Thomas Mann, a longtime resident of Munich, wrote something about the city that might have been coined by an advertising agency: “Munich sparkles.” Although the city he described was swept away by two world wars, the quote is still apt. Munich continues to sparkle, drawing temporary visitors and new residents like a magnet from virtually everywhere.
Some of the sparkle comes from its vitality. With its busy factories, newspapers and television stations, and service and electronics industries, it’s one of Europe’s liveliest places. More subtle is Munich’s amazing ability to combine Hollywood-type glamour and stylish international allure with its folkloric connections. Few other large cities have been as successful as Munich in marketing folklore, rusticity, and nostalgia for the golden days of yesteryear. This rustic ambience coexists with the hip and the avant-garde, high-tech industries, and a sharp political sense, which is what lends the city such a distinctive flair.
As Americans migrate to New York, Austin or San Francisco to seek opportunity and experience, so Germans migrate to Munich. The city is full of non-Bavarians; in fact, more than two-thirds of the German citizens living in Munich have come from other parts of the country, and tens of thousands are expatriates or immigrants from every conceivable foreign land. Sometimes these diverse elements seem unified only by a shared search for the good life.
Outsiders are found in every aspect of Munich’s life. The wildly applauded soccer team, FC Bayern München, is comprised almost entirely of outsiders — Danes, Belgians, Swedes, Prussians. The city’s most frequently quoted newspaper mogul (Dieter Schröder) and many of the city’s artistic movers and shakers are expatriates, usually from northern Germany. What’s remarkable is the unspoken collusion of the whole population in promoting Bavarian charm, despite the fact that real dyed-in-the-wool Bavarians risk becoming a distinct minority in their own capital.
Virtually everyone has heard the city’s many nicknames — “Athens on the Isar,” “the German Silicon Valley,” and “Little Paris” — but none seems to stick. More appropriate is a somewhat ambivalent label — “the secret capital of Germany.”
Munich’s self-imposed image is that of a fun-loving and festival-addicted city — typified by its Oktoberfest. This celebration, which began as a minor sideshow to a royal wedding in 1810, has become a symbol of the city itself. Redolent with nostalgia for old-time Bavaria, it draws more than 7 million visitors each year. For these 16 days every fall, raucous hordes cram themselves into the city to have a good time.
View My Bucket List Events Oktoberfest in a larger map
Oktoberfest is so evocative, and so gleefully and unashamedly pagan, that dozens of places throughout the world capitalize on its success by throwing Oktoberfest ceremonies of their own. These occur even in such unlikely places as Helen, Georgia, in the U.S., where citizens and merchants reap tidy profits by wearing dirndls and lederhosen, playing recordings of the requisite oompah music, and serving ample provisions of beer in oversize beer steins. No one has ever marketed such stuff better than Munich, but then, few other regions of Europe have had such alluring raw material from which to draw.
A somewhat reluctant contender for the role of international megalopolis, Munich has pursued commerce, industry, and the good life without fanfare. You get the idea that in spite of its economic muscle and a roaring GNP, Munich wants to see itself as a large agrarian village, peopled by jolly beer drinkers who cling to their folkloric roots despite the presence of symbols of the high-tech age.
Underneath this expansive, fun-loving Munich is an unyielding, ongoing conservatism and resistance to change, both religious and political. But as a symbol of a bold, reunited Germany forging a new identity for the 21st century, Munich simply has no parallel. As such, it continues to exert a powerful appeal. | <urn:uuid:309426c1-0546-4fd2-9017-fe65355a26ae> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://www.oktoberfesttours.com/munich/city/ | 2017-11-18T10:25:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934804724.3/warc/CC-MAIN-20171118094746-20171118114746-00558.warc.gz | en | 0.9553 | 979 |
We took a day trip to Sanborn Western Camps, where Jessie worked for 3 years and where MiniCooper, Sue’s miniature horse, currently lives (the Summer Campers love and spoil him tremendously!). Jessie got to see her “camp boyfriends,” Pete & Westley (the horses), and she took Sue & Tom on a scenic hike. We reunited with the MacDonald family (Jessie was their nanny) and with BC, one of Jessie’s best buds who taught her how to rock climb. It was a lovely visit!
Here’s what Jessie has to say about the visit:
Returning to camp was a beautiful reminder of how impactful a place and the people who love it can be–and the impacts last. I went to Sanborn at a point in my life when I deeply needed a change. The support of every staff member helped me to grow into my highest potential. The land that had embraced me did so once more when I took Mom and Dad to my favorite spot on camp and I lay down in the grass to look up through the quaking aspen leaves to the sky.
The place is the same, yet changed. Renovations, new buildings, improvements have been made. There is now cell phone reception on property, which has undoubtedly shifted the culture there. I even noticed that some of the trees have died, are serving their new purpose as habitat for bark-dwelling beings. Trails have eroded more deeply, thousands of footsteps have since landed on some of my favorite paths. Small fires have burned and changed some of the landscapes surrounding Sanborn. But what’s the same is the spirit that lives so strongly in that place. It is a spirit of wonder, of growth, of love, of change, and hope.
Families have moved on, new fresh faces have arrived. There are still ripples from the people, the time spend when I was present there. When I first met Julie Richardson, then Girls Camp Director, and she drove my family on a tour of the property, I remember we were on the road to Witcher Ranch and Julie was speaking of the impact of this place with tears in her eyes. I was sitting in the front seat next to her, and that was the moment I made the decision: I wanted nothing more than to have a job that was so meaningful it could bring tears to my eyes. And it did. From the start, I felt a deep connection to Sandy and Laura Sanborn, who had passed away before I began working at camp, yet lived through the stories, the memories, the traditions, and the hearts of the staff and campers. Their impact was so strong and honored that I felt that I had known them. And this spirit is kept alive through remembering.
Seeing how the MacDonald kiddos have grown up is so inspiring, and I was thrilled to know that “my children” are doing so well–they are little mini-adults already and I am so proud of them! I can remember spending afternoons with Lleyton strapped to my belly in the Bjorn, hiking up Little Blue with the dogs. I also remember going to the store with Finley and Lleyton in tow and blatantly claiming them as my own when a fellow shopper would say, “Oh, what beautiful children you have!” They still have a huge part of my heart.
BC is awesome as ever–in fact, he’d just climbed 3 fourteeners the day before I saw him. Solo. No big deal. I miss climbing with him and hope someday we’ll live closeby again so we can continue to adventure!
The herd of horses was healthy as ever–Maren takes such fantastic care of them. It was so sweet to see Pete, my loverboy, who wasn’t the most affectionate (I don’t blame him; I’ve been gone awhile!), but did come over to to snuggle for a moment. Westley (Westie) is still my prince–and I his Princess Bride–and he was happy to get scratched for a long while. That herd taught me more about horses than a thousand lessons. Watching how horses interact in a more wild setting truly freed me from my limited perspective on these miraculous animals. What a gift. And thanks to Sanborn, the herd, my campers, fellow wranglers, and Maren, this was the place where Horseback Yoga was born. My dreams came true!
I could gush forever about this place, so I’d better draw this to a close. I’m proud of the impact Sanborn had on my Mom and Dad this short visit–Dad, fresh from his partial knee replacement, hiked a good ways with me and got to enjoy some gorgeous views (hopefully a precursor for his knees healing and many great adventures to come!). Mom got to visit her beloved Mini Cooper, who is plump and happy as ever. I got to spend time with my parents at one of my favorite places in the world.
Signing off, in continual gratitude to the place that healed me and turned me into who I am today! | <urn:uuid:db8889cb-a56b-4887-8997-365f5c656c1c> | CC-MAIN-2017-30 | https://greygooseranch.wordpress.com/ | 2017-07-25T08:44:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-30/segments/1500549425117.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20170725082441-20170725102441-00407.warc.gz | en | 0.980179 | 1,070 |

Decrypt’s Art, Fashion, and Entertainment Hub.
Earlier today, the US Securities and Exchange Commission sued messaging app Kik for failing to register what the regulators say was a $100 million securities offering. The Commission claimed that Kik had pushed the token sale as a speculative investment, and had engineered a “pivot” to the cryptocurrency as a pretext to salvage its ailing business.
Now Kik, which has set up a $5 million fundraiser to support its legal fight, has issued its response.
Kik General Counsel Eileen Lyon wrote in a press release sent late Tuesday that the SEC’s complaint was based on a “flawed legal theory” that relied on an incorrect understanding of securities laws. The SEC alleges that Kik executives had internally characterized the Kin token as a vehicle for speculative gains, qualifying it as a security.
“The complaint assumes, incorrectly, that any discussion of a potential increase in value of an asset is the same as offering or promising profits solely from the efforts of another; that having aligned incentives is the same as creating a ‘common enterprise’; and that any contributions by a seller or promoter are necessarily the ‘essential’ managerial or entrepreneurial efforts required to create an investment contract,” wrote Lyon.
She added: “These legal assumptions stretch the Howey test well beyond its definition, and we do not believe they will withstand judicial scrutiny.”
Lyon argued that the SEC, by only naming Kik in its suit—while ignoring the Kin Foundation, which was addressed by the SEC in the original notice—had tacitly acknowledged “that the transactions currently taking place within the Kin Ecosystem do not fall under the federal securities laws.”
The Kin Foundation, an independent non-profit, oversees the development of the Kin token.
Kik CEO Ted Livingston, meanwhile, described the SEC’s complaint as incomplete, saying that it presents a “grossly misleading picture of the facts and circumstances surrounding our 2017 pre-sale and token distribution event.”
“We have been expecting this for quite some time, and we welcome the opportunity to fight for the future of crypto in the United States,” he added. “We hope this case will make it clear that the securities laws should not be applied to a currency used by millions of people in dozens of apps.”
He also said that the Kin “ecosystem” was growing strong, with little sign of abating, throwing into doubt the Commission’s characterization of the token as a security. “Kin is being used by more people in more apps every day, and come trial, Kin may be the most widely used cryptocurrency in the world,” he said.
“While the SEC’s actions are a challenge to overcome, they won’t affect the use, transferability and characterization of Kin, and we expect momentum in the Kin Ecosystem to only continue to grow,” he added. | <urn:uuid:5242ca34-b5ac-434a-ada4-f3a0d096b7ce> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://decrypt.co/7311/kik-says-secs-charges-are-based-on-flawed-legal-theory | 2023-09-29T17:19:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510520.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20230929154432-20230929184432-00305.warc.gz | en | 0.963666 | 622 |

|Abstract:||In this study, thioridazine (THZ), which was reported to kill cancer stem cells, was used in a combination therapy with doxorubicin (DOX) to eradicate both cancer cells and DOX-resistant cancer stem cells to mitigate the reoccurrence of the disease. Both THZ and DOX were loaded into micelles with sizes below 100nm, narrow size distribution and high drug content. The micelles were self-assembled from a mixture of acid-functionalized poly(carbonate) and poly(ethylene glycol) diblock copolymer (PEG-PAC) and urea-functionalized poly(carbonate) (PUC) and PEG diblock copolymer (PEG-PUC). The drug-loaded mixed micelles (MM) were used to target both cancer cells and stem cells via co-delivery. Cancer stem cells were sorted by a side population assay from BT-474 and MCF-7 human breast cancer cell lines, and identified by CD44+/CD24- phenotype. The cytotoxicity of various formulations was evaluated on the sorted cancer stem cells (side population SP cells), sorted non-stem-like cancer cells (non-side population NSP cells) and unsorted cancer cells. Antitumor activity was also evaluated on BT-474 xenografts in nude mice. As compared with NSP cells, DOX suppressed SP cell growth less effectively, while THZ and THZ-MM were more effective in the inhibition of SP cells. A stronger inhibitory effect was observed on SP cells with the co-delivery of free DOX and THZ or DOX-MM and THZ-MM as compared to free DOX or DOX-MM. THZ and THZ-MM were capable of lowering the population of SP cells in unsorted cells. In the BT-474 xenografts, the co-delivery of DOX-MM and THZ-MM produced the strongest antitumor efficacy, and both THZ and THZ-MM showed strong activity against cancer stem cells. This combination therapy may provide a promising strategy for breast cancer treatment by targeting both cancer cells and cancer stem cells. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.|

VERY DRAFT, IN PROGRESS, WET GLUE & PAINT
Viola in a Nutshell
The Viola World Wide Web Toolkit
Viola is a tool for hypermedia development, publishing, and browsing.
It is basically a toolkit consisting of a scripting language, a graphical
user interface, and an object-oriented data storage system.
To give an idea of what Viola can be used for, here's a list of some
existing viola applications:
- World Wide Web hypermedia browser
- Information kiosk center
- Electronic book navigator
- Front-end to 3D graphing program
- Interactive tutorials
- Interactive chess board
- Internet chat and drawing program
As a WWW Browser, the notable features of ViolaWWW
(version 3.3) are probably as follows:
Fundamentally HTML 3.0
(ie: a paragraph is really a container),
plus many extensions for richer formatting capabilities.
for attaching styling information to a document.
for displaying meta information, or for intra document
navigational links, etc. The panel is engaged and disengaged by the presence
of the document that is associated with the sidebar document.
document engaged tool applets (ie: simple navigational aids).
A scripting language that is accessible from the HTML, such that an
HTML document can embbed highly interactive scripts/applets.
Miscellaneous niceties: hotlist facility; shows HTTP loading progress
in a pie chart (when it has the information).
The browser itself is built using the viola toolkit, which is turning
into a "World Wide Web toolkit", a construction set for building
An experimental platform. It's source available, even most of the browser
is constructed in a highlevel scripting language; and is very customizable
to someone who understands the scripting language.

Understanding Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorders and Jaw Pain
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder is a condition that causes jaw and facial pain. This joint is where your lower jaw and skull meet and is responsible for opening and closing your jaw. Normally the joint works like a hinge, with supportive tissues such as cartilage, muscles, ligaments and a small, gel-filled disk keeping your jaw smoothly moving. You can experience a TMJ disorder when your jaw joint wears down or after an injury, such as a blow to the face.
TMJ Disorder Causes
TMJ disorders can be difficult to diagnose because they do not always have a definitive cause or similar symptoms. Common TMJ disorder causes include grinding your teeth, arthritis in your jaw, a hole in the disk of your TMJ joint, stress that causes you to clench your teeth or jaw dislocation where your jaw stops fitting together properly.
You may think you are experiencing a sinus infection. toothache, dizziness, trouble hearing or a headache when a TMJ disorder is actually to blame. Common symptoms include:
- Jaw pain or tenderness
- Unusual noises when opening your mouth, such as clicking or popping
- Chronic headaches
- Joint stiffness that makes your jaw hard to move
- Pain that radiates across your face
If you don't have difficulty moving your jaw or it isn't making noise when you move it, your condition likely isn't a TMJ disorder, according to the Mayo Clinic.
Conservative treatments will likely relieve jaw pain, such as applying ice packs to the sides of your face for no longer than 10 minutes at a time. You also can apply a warm towel or washcloth for five minutes to ease jaw muscle aches. Opting for easy-to-chew foods over tough foods also can help. This means reaching for mashed potatoes, yogurt, soups, scrambled eggs, beans and cooked fruits instead of tough meats or raw produce. If stress is a trigger for your jaw pain, try getting more sleep, exercising, breathing deeply or taking at least 15 minutes a day to do something you enjoy.
Medication treatments include over-the-counter non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen. If these do not help, muscle relaxants can temporarily relieve pain or sedatives such as clonazepam reduce sleep-related teeth clenching. However, your dentist or physician must prescribe these medications.
Additional treatments that require a dentist's intervention include repairing damaged or missing areas of your teeth. Examples include crowns, bridges or braces that can reduce jaw pressure. Mouth guards or splints worn over your teeth can keep your mouth slightly open, reducing nighttime grinding or clenching. While you can purchase a sports mouth guard and mold it yourself at home, dentists often make custom mouthpieces that may provide a longer-lasting and better-fitting solution.
In severe instances, your TMJ disorder may require more invasive interventions. The surgical approach depends upon what is causing your TMJ disorder. Arthroscopic surgery is an option where your surgeon makes a small incision and inserts a thin, lighted instrument with a camera on the end. Additional instruments can be inserted to remove damaged areas. The most invasive surgical form is open-joint surgery where your surgeon makes a larger incision to visualize the entire jaw area. Always seek a second medical opinion before undergoing surgery.

It’s hard to believe that it’s been seven years. Still, we remember. We remember those horrifying images: the second plane flying into the World Trade Center, it’s Twin Towers later falling into a roaring cloud of dust, the attack on the Pentagon, and the remains of United Flight 93 littered across a field in Pennsylvania. We especially remember those who lost their lives.

"It's not just a mask, it's a contemporary art piece," Gaga told reporters in Malta, adding that it was made by a designer friend of hers.
It seems, though, that the inspiration for the mask came from her current fashion obsession. "I love all designers. I appreciate a life devoted to fashion," she said. "Right now, I'm having a very strong obsession mostly with clothing found in sex shops. I would venture to say that all that clothing was designed by gay men."
Now, for the first time, We The People are privy to our new leader's epistolary back-and-forths on his wily hand-held device. We're about to discover that his emails (and the replies, from his wife and daughters, Biden, Palen, Rush, Hannity, the new first puppy, and even Bush) are so tuned in to the language of electronic correspondence they come hilariously close to the brink of legibility.Take a peek inside

Not Auckland student Michael - who twice tried to auction such saucy shots on Trade Me.
The first time was to annoy his mother Jennifer after an argument.
Her instruction to clear out the garage and sell unwanted items on Trade Me backfired when Michael started an auction titled "5 naked photos of my mum".
It was removed by Trade Me the day after, but the 18-year-old posted a second series of "glamour photos" last Sunday - with Jennifer's approval.

An East Bay woman was recovering Wednesday following corrective surgery after she attempted to perform plastic surgery on her own face. Her doctor said the tough economy and the easy availability of supplies online has caused an uptick in the potentially disfiguring practice.via
The woman, who asked that we not reveal her name is 54, a mother of three, with a career in the public eye. She said that after a visit to a plastic surgeon, she went online and bought a vial of liquid silicone for ten dollars, then injected it into her lips and cheek four weeks ago.
“Insane. I can't believe I did what I did,” she said. “I thought I was going to be happy with the results, then the next day, my face became very inflamed, very red, swollen.”
This look can be achieved with the use of a “Saline Solution Drip”, which is injected at your local piercing/tattoo shop by a specialized piercer (Body piercing is the practice of puncturing or cutting a part of the human body).

HOW IT WORKS
BOOST YOUR USED CAR INVENTORY
Every seller represents an opportunity to acquire valuable inventory, a potential buyer to sell them a replacement vehicle, and a loyal customer to monetize over the lifetime of their car. Sellers are fickle, digital-savvy and, most importantly, they know they have selling options. During their in-market digital journey they face many obstacles, often changing course along the way. They are typically “in-market” to sell for 21 days, and are typically fatigued after day 9. 25% have sold their vehicle before day 9, so to get the car first you must reach them early with a better offer.
Boost identifies “in-market” vehicle sellers and “hand raisers” and moves them to you… toward an acquisition. We reach them via a multi-channel network, from social to SMS to email to phone. Online retailers, Dealer Groups, Agencies, and OEM’s utilize Boost to acquire both customers and cars to drive incremental revenue and market share.

A Place to Tarry depicts the consecrated place where we meet with Him – a realm for just you two to abide together so that you might lavish your love on one another.
“You are my private garden, my treasure, my bride, a secluded spring, a hidden fountain.” Song of Songs 4:12 (NLT)
“Awaken, north wind — come, south wind. Blow on my garden, and spread the fragrance of its spices. Let my love come to his garden and eat its choicest fruits.” Song of Songs 4:16 (HCSB)
The lyrics from the hymn named “In the garden” by Charles Austin Miles are connected to this piece. “I come to the garden alone, While the dew is still on the roses, And the voice I hear falling on my ear, The Son of God discloses. | And He walks with me, and He talks with me, And He tells me I am His own; And the joy we share as we tarry there, None other has ever known. | He speaks, and the sound of His voice, Is so sweet the birds hush their singing, And the melody that He gave to me Within my heart is ringing. | I’d stay in the garden with Him, Though the night around me be falling, But He bids me go; through the voice of woe, His voice to me is calling.”
Feel the soft breeze of His breath caressing your face, the warmth of His radiant countenance upon your skin. He takes your hand and tugs you gently – pulling you along as you follow with a skip, a smile, and a giggle. The lush petals brush your fingers and the sound of refreshing waters soothes your spirit. The fresh scents of His creation invigorate and cleanse. He speaks softly to your heart, healing you with His love.
A portion of a post on TruthAndInk.com by Melody Dowlearn called “Intellect vs. Intimacy” is connected to this piece. “And, let me be clear, the goal of intimacy with the King is not revelation–it is simply getting to know God of the Universe at an intimate level. Every gift beyond that–including revelation–is a by-product of being that close to the one who created the world. …Intimacy is really all about love. Intimacy with King Jesus will lead each of us into a realization of love that we have never known previously. It is truly an indescribable experience–an “encounter” would be a more accurate word. When one truly encounters the Messiah in an intimate and personal way, the weight of the world evaporates. You can not even contain the love that flows through you, and it is the way you begin to relate to others–through love and not logic. The more you encounter King Jesus–the more others encounter Jesus through you. And only those who truly spend time in his presence can authentically carry his presence.”
The name of the silk hidden in this image is Place of Closeness. The colors in it are bright green representing new life and flourishing, amethyst representing merry heart, sky blue representing revelation knowledge, plum representing abundance, and electric blue representing intense feeling.
Father, thank You for a place to tarry. Thank You for allowing us to be intimate with You, for sharing Your thoughts and hearing ours. May our inner healing be complete as we back in Your love. | <urn:uuid:21352eab-4230-40bd-9a52-c7d6b71a0db5> | CC-MAIN-2019-51 | https://dyed4youart.com/2017/03/a-place-to-tarry/ | 2019-12-13T09:57:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-51/segments/1575540553486.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20191213094833-20191213122833-00458.warc.gz | en | 0.950269 | 735 |

He sighed softly to himself, he couldn’t believe how horribly things have gone, just 8 months ago he was at the top of the world, he was sworn in as Speaker of the House and he had power. It made him weep, he wasn’t just weeping for himself, he was weeping for America, he was weeping for all he had attained in this world and for everything that seemed to be sliding right through his finger tips. He felt things slipping away. He couldn’t keep these recalcitrant freshman in line, they seemed to think they could crash the economy and come out looking like hero’s! He knew better, but had no idea what he could do to get these folks in line.
He was looking down while walking back to the ranch and muttering about “that fucking Jim Jordan (R) Ohio, who the fuck does he think he is anyway?” He was whispering loudly to himself and didn’t seem to care if anyone heard him. He was clearly angry and clearly he wanted some sort of revenge. He quickly grabbed the pack of cigarettes from his coat pocket, he had that smokers habit of beating the end of the package against his hand before grabbing one and lighting up. He lit up and took a long hard first drag, as though he were sucking in all his problems and releasing them in several circles of smoke. He liked to play with his cigarette that way, it calmed him, until now. He simply didn’t know what he would do to get these folks in line, clearly they were ready to crash the economy and seemed not to comprehend on any level the complexity of the crisis that faced the United States. “Do they even care if we are ever elected again?” He was now talking loudly to himself as he entered his favorite pub the 19th Hole.
“Hey John”, yelled the bartender, he could clearly see the speaker needed a drink and he needed on badly. He was rushing to get the mans favorite drink ready, the Bellini, he was pretty sure tonight the man was going to need more than one.

For the second year running, I have been part of the 24Photography artist’s group, an annual photography exhibition documents New Year’s Day. As usual, the exhibition opened on 24th February. This year, there were around 500 people in attendance, with representation from various London newspapers.
As one of the photographers involved, we have embarked on an ambitious project that will span a generation, creating a pictorial social documentary to record what New Year’s Day represents – not only as a one off event – but also as an on-going and developing catalogue of what the end of one year and beginning of another comes to represent over time.
For my entry this year, I wanted to prove to myself that my work was not about the technology but what you do with it. So, I chose to shoot all of my work on a Nokia N8 phone. None of the guests could believe that a phone was able to take such clear images.
The exhibition is running for 24 days in Berkeley Square, Mayfair. Nearest tube station is Green Park. Please pop along and take a look.

Two credit rating agencies today sent Best Buy deeper into junk territory.
Best Buy's share price fell as much as 4 percent after the downgrade.
Fitch Ratings has lowered Best Buy two notches to BB-, the third level below investment grade, or junk status. The rating outlook is negative.
Standard and Poor's dropped Best Buy only one slot deeper into junk status.
Even though the downgrades differed, the two agencies based them on similar, gloomy analyses of best buy's prospects. The moves come a day after the company announced dismal financial results and saw its stock fall 13 percent.
Fitch's Issuer Default Rating gauges the likelihood of a company defaulting on its financial obligations. As of Nov. 3, Best Buy had $2 billion of debt outstanding.
Fitch said Best Buy's ability to generate cash remains strong. But Fitch said it's skeptical that Best Buy's new CEO Hubert Joly will be able to boost sales and profits under the plans he recently laid out.
Fitch also believes Best Buy will find it difficult and expensive to retain market share as consumers gravitate toward online and brick and mortar retailers seen as offering lower prices. The report follows Tuesday's dismal earnings report from Best Buy which sent the share price plummeting 13 percent. | <urn:uuid:5d6dd56e-c74b-4422-a6dd-98d79e40a8ff> | CC-MAIN-2015-18 | http://www.mprnews.org/story/2012/11/21/business/best-buy-credit-rating-downgrade | 2015-04-19T17:45:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-18/segments/1429246639325.91/warc/CC-MAIN-20150417045719-00298-ip-10-235-10-82.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.957235 | 260 |

What are the pros? Productive, tastes great
What are the cons? None
Out of all the beans I grew this year, these beans were my favorite! The flavor was outstanding. I lightly sauteed them with coconut oil, onions, salt and pepper. Then I added chicken broth to the pan and simmered till tender. I grew a green long bean also. They tasted good, but did not have as good flavor or texture as these beans. The plants were productive in an 8" round plastic flower pot with a tomato cage for support. I liked that you only needed to pick about 8-10 beans for two people. These beans are a keeper in my garden.

Discover the latest convenience in sustainable foods! Tuno, the first plant-based tuna alternative by Loma Linda, has been creating waves with the Real Foods team this month.
It looks, feels, and acts like a can of tuna. But it isn’t. Meet the new range of vegan, gluten-free, plant-based tuna – Tuno, which has just hit Britain’s shores and the Real Foods stores.
You may not know the name, but Loma Linda has been making plant-based proteins, in Nashville, USA, since the 1890s!
Starting with some of the USA’S oldest canned vegetarian sausages, Loma Linda’s newest addition is a world’s first: the first fish alternative for sustainable eating.
Why plant-based, fish-free tuna?
With studies showing that certain species in our oceans could be extinct due to overfishing in the next ten years, this product hasn’t come fast enough.
You might remember that we covered how to avoid fish and still get vegetarian sources of omega 3 back when Blue Planet Lives hit our TV screens in May.
If you are a lover of seafood who desires a plant-based diet but can’t quite be torn away from their tuna fix then you might find some happiness with Tuno.
The added benefit is that you’ll be embracing a longer lifespan and be preventing diabetes while being planet-conscious along the way.
What is plant-based tuna?
Gluten-free and non-GMO, Tuno is made from a flaky textured soya protein and can be used exactly as you would use usual tuna but is entirely fish-free.
What’s more, there are no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives in any of the products.
Unlike tuna, the smell of Tuno isn’t overly potent or fishy, so it works if you are simply seeking another plant-based protein to vary your diet.
You’ll get the benefit of seaweed powder, which is a great source of omega-3, and a lovely ocean flavour from the natural sea salt.
Tuno comes in a range of flavours, and can be served hot or cold. Each can serves two generous portions.
There’s the original Loma Linda Protein Tuno in Spring Water, or you can opt for the Loma Linda Lemon & Pepper Protein Tuno, which packs in a light peppery and tangy punch with its lemon and black pepper dressing.
It’s great for Asian rice bowl lunch and dinners, or for serving on top of rice crackers or sandwiches. Finally, there is Loma Linda Vegan Thai Sweet Chilli Protein Tuno, which we are selling wholesale by the case.
If you’ve always been a fan of tuna mayo, then you can go now opt for a fish-free, egg-free alternative of ‘Tuno & mayo’ with Loma Linda Vegan Mayonnaise Protein Tuno. This comes both in a canned or handy pouch option.
How to serve Tuno? Try this vegan crab cake recipe!
It’s so easy to include Tuno in your meals, just use it as a replacement for any recipes including tuna.
Why not try this Loma Linda classic vegan Tuno crab cakes recipe?
- 2 cans Tuno (any flavour)
- 1 egg or egg-replacement powder
- ¼ cup green onions
- ¼ cup vegan mayo
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- ½-1 cup panko bread crumbs
- Fresh herbs to taste, preferably rosemary and thyme
- ½ tsp lemon juice
- Salt/pepper to taste
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 cup of oil for pan frying
Heat oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Meanwhile, mix remaining ingredients for the cakes, except panko, together in a bowl until combined.
Add panko, ¼ cup at a time until mixture can be formed into patties. After patties are formed, coat each side with more panko.
Carefully, place patties in hot oil and cook til golden brown, about 1-1.5 minutes on each side.
Healthy, plant-based meals for the get-go
You might also like to try the ready-to-eat meals in a pouch that Loma Linda also makes, which are ideal for a quick dinner fix when you’re on the go.
Try the Loma Linda Thai Green Curry, which is delicious with its meat-based protein that resembles chicken. This is served up within a creamy coconut sauce with complex Thai flavours of chilli, lemongrass, kaffir lime, galangal and coriander. This Thai green curry is served in brown rice to ensure a perfectly-balanced meal.
Convenient Indian cuisine may be more your style, and we also have available in store and online the Loma Linda Ready Meal Tikka Masala, with its smattering of tasty exotic spices, like turmeric and cumin.
Also served with brown rice, this is another plant-based protein healthy, low fat meal for when you are short on time.
All the ready meal pouches can be cooked in just two minutes in the microwaves or five minutes in a saucepan on the hob, and serves one.
Let us know your thoughts on Tuno!
You can buy the new Loma Linda range from us online or you can pop into one of our Edinburgh shops.
Even as we publish this article we find out that Loma Linda have added 4 more tasty lines (obviously not fishing lines) to their range which you can also buy online from us. | <urn:uuid:2a5875fb-3ef3-4223-83ea-dea1e9822d7a> | CC-MAIN-2020-24 | https://blog.realfoods.co.uk/healthy-eating/get-hooked-on-the-new-loma-linda-vegan-plant-based-tuno/ | 2020-05-26T00:06:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-24/segments/1590347390437.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20200525223929-20200526013929-00002.warc.gz | en | 0.924206 | 1,201 |

CONCORD, N.H. — The public does not have the right to know details pertaining to a Feb. 5 crash involving a police cruiser driven by an on-duty police officer because of state law written to protect citizens’ private information, according to Senior Assistant Attorney General Mark Hodgdon.
The assistant AG made that argument in Merrimack County Superior Court Monday in opposition to the Portsmouth Herald’s request for investigatory records related to a three-vehicle crash involving a Seabrook police cruiser, reports the Portsmouth Herald . Through attorney Benjamin King, of the Concord law firm of Douglas, Leonard & Garvey, the Herald notified the court that it does not seek personal information related to the officer or any private citizens.
The Herald filed a motion for reports related to the crash with the court on April 12. All of the involved law enforcement agencies, including New Hampshire State Police and the state Department of Safety, have refused to release any information or comment about the crash.
King told Judge Richard McNamara that the Supreme Court previously ruled in favor of releasing information about a police cruiser crash, that the state’s Driver Privacy Act does not apply in this instance, and that shielding the information from the public is unconstitutional...

Went to the field today for the third day in a row (although only Mika went on Wednesday and only Wall-e went yesterday -- today both dogs got to go).
With Mika I did the dog walk (with a pool noodle 30" from the edge of the DW) twice, and she had a REALLY nice hit, right at the bottom. Then we ran part of the same sequence that we ran on her birthday, as well as another very flowing sequence that I made up quickly. I should really be working on harder sequences, but I love seeing her soaring with no hesitation. She was nuts today, taking a couple off-course jumps in the new sequence I made up today (that's no surprise!) and having fun.
Wall-e's turn next! I also did the dog walk first. I haven't talked about his running DW contacts in a while...well, the pool noodle stride regulators weren't the best because he didn't hit deep enough in the yellow. Since then we've experimented with a few more methods but none of them seemed to work. Wall-e learned how to nose touch a target as part of his foundation training, and earlier this week I put his nose touch at the stairs in the basement, simulating a contact obstacle. He had this amazing nose touch -- I would start him standing at the last step, say "Touch!" and he would quickly leap forward to go in the 2on2off position and do a hard nose touch to the target. So yesterday I decided to try putting his 2o2o with a nose touch on the DW, thinking that it might help him graduate to running contacts. Even though I backchained it, he was confused and didn't know how to collect himself to get into 2o2o. And although he was having fun, he didn't have the same absolute joy that he has when he runs the contact. I put away that idea for now, although I might have to go back to it next year depending on how his running contact training is going.
Mika and Wall-e will be doing several fun matches this winter, and I'd like Wall-e to get experience on different contacts, so I want to use a PVC hoop at the fun matches. That way he can get used to the unfamiliar contacts and not practice leaping over the yellow. Today I put the hoop in front of the end of the dog walk so he could practice with it. He leaped the yellow, so I put the hoop closer, more at the end. This time he did a perfect hit, and the next rep too! I haven't seen the video yet so I can't say how much he collected his stride to hit the yellow, but it looked pretty comfortable for him. A possibility for training running contacts? Maybe. I have all winter to figure out how I want to train his contacts, and we have all season next year to train them.
Then I finished Wall-e's broad jump training (over the past several sessions I've been gradually spacing the boards apart and fading the 10" jump behind it), and then he ran one of the sequences Mika got to run.

The analytical value of boundaries, particularly with regards to the creation meaning and the process of identification, has been widely acknowledged within a variety of social sciences and beyond. However, within development theory there are two distinct aspects of boundaries that remain under-conceptualised: First, little attention is given to on-the-ground social practices involved in the material and ideational creation of boundaries. Second, Development theory tends to discuss boundaries solely in the context of inequality and marginalization, and thus as something to overcome, ignoring their creative role in processes of individuation and as an area of contact. Yet, theoretical insights into the productivity of the concept of boundaries that have been developed by post-foundational approaches, building on the philosophical traditions of Deleuze, Lyotard, Bourdieu, Foucault, Latour, Butler, and Laclau to name but a few, may very well inform a critical reflection of the relationship between development and the ordering of social and geographic space.
This panel provides a space to discuss the theoretical deliberations that underpin the concept of boundaries and their connection to development theory and practice, as well as empirical questions informed by or arising from them. We invite panellists to discuss how the production and productivity of boundaries is performed and perceived; how relations are formed, entangled or cut; how these relations are involved in the production of scale, agency, identity, inequality and antagonisms; and how boundaries help to showcase some things while excluding others. This panel thus aims at addressing the politics of (in-)visibility and how they play out in the field of development theory and practice.
The panel aims at multidisciplinary contributions from a variety of fields such as (but not limited to) Political Science, (Human) Geography, Gender Studies, Peace and Conflict Research, and Development Research. The paper should critically engage with the nexus of development, broadly conceived, and the concept of boundaries. In this context, the papers may focus on issues such as:
- Mapping–as the drawing of geographic and social boundaries
- Scaling, the creation of boundaries, and the politics of (in)visibility
- The role of boundaries in establishing social relations
- Empowerment revisited: conferring agency and defining social relations through drawing boundaries
- The role of boundaries and social antagonisms in the creation of identity and social order
In order to ensure the coherence of the panel and to focus the debate, the panel encourages the contributions to reflect upon the status of borders, and the performativity of bordering, in either of the terms of: the creation of social and territorial reality; the perception of social and territorial relations; and/or the consequences for politics and policy-making. We very much welcome also empirically-oriented paper, but we would like them, on the grounds of their empirical findings, to explicitly reflect upon these issues.

KINGSPORT, Tenn. — A watched phone never rings. Coty Sensabaugh's iPhone is sitting in his lap late Saturday morning as he settles in for what he expects to be a long day. He's confident he'll get taken in the NFL Draft but admits he has prepared himself for the worst, in case his phone stays silent all day.
The first day of the draft provides faux drama, as the world's most extravagant job fair goes live on TV. Young men are crushed when they fall from high first round to middle first round to low first round, even—gasp—into the second round. But let's be honest: Nobody feels sorry for a 22-year-old man who is less of a millionaire than he thought he would be.
It's one thing to fall. It's quite another to wonder if anybody wants you. What's life like on the bubble? "It's like a dream coming true, but like a nightmare at the same time," Sensabaugh says. "It's all emotions possible wrapped up into one."
Sensabaugh played cornerback for Clemson. He graduated in four years and stuck around to play his final season of eligibility, when he emerged as an NFL prospect but not a highly rated one. He ran the third-fastest time among defensive backs at the Scouting Combine and scored a stellar 27 on the Wonderlic. He's a leader, and his coaches love him. Charlie Harbison, his position coach at Clemson, says, "He's like a son to me."
But for NFL teams watching tape, there's about half a season worth of material that makes him look draftable. That's why he's here, in his parent's living room, in the seat farthest from the TV, waiting and wondering. Saturday took forever to get here and now is going second … by … excruciating … second. "Your fate is in someone else's hands," he says. "That's the tough thing about it."
Still, it's hard to believe he'll be crushed if he doesn't get taken. "It's just a blessing to be in this position. That's how I try to look at it," he says.
Emphasis on try because sometimes he forgets. But he always gets back to being thankful. He has seen real heartbreak in his young life, and getting passed over in the draft isn't it.
THOUGH THEY WERE BORN FIVE YEARS APART, Coty and his older brother Jamaar were inseparable.
"Oh, man, we did everything," Coty says. "We played basketball, football, baseball, video games, rode bikes. Anything two kids can get in trouble and talk their way out of."
When they couldn't talk their way out of it, Jamaar took the blame, even when Coty was the culprit.
When Jamaar was 16 in 2000, he was hospitalized after complaining about being tired. Coty, who was 11, remembers sitting in class when the office called and said he was being picked up by his oldest brother, Travis. Travis had never checked him out of school. Coty knew that meant something bad had happened. The two drove to the hospital, where they were told Jamaar had leukemia.
Jamaar died a few days later. The whole thing took a week.
Coty was crushed, of course. He grieved for years. Still, as hurt as he was, he gave his parents strength.
"Really and truly, I just wanted to lay down and die," says his mom, Becky Sensabaugh.
"But I knew that I couldn't do that. Coty, he was really the driving force to make me get up every day."
Coty, Becky and his dad, Kim, all say that take one of them away, and none of them would have come out of the other end of the dark tunnel Jamaar's death thrust them into.
"We were each other's sharpening tools," Coty Sensabaugh says.
He gets sharper every day. His brother's death shaped him into the man he is—he is grateful and works hard and takes nothing for granted. To honor his brother, he wants to use his platform as an NFL player to raise awareness about the disease by starting a foundation in his name.
"I want people who know both of us, when they see me, they see a spitting image of him," he says.
THE DRAFT'S FOURTH ROUND IS ABOUT TO START. Coty, his parents, his girlfriend, two of his aunts and his agent gather in a circle and hold hands. His Aunt Doris leads a prayer in which she acknowledges that God is in control of the events that are about to take place and asks for His peace in dealing with them.
Nervous chatter fills the room. Kim, the most emotional of the bunch, is in the kitchen washing strawberries. When Coty got offered the scholarship to Clemson, Kim cried so hard Becky thought she'd have to come home from work to take care of him.
"It's best to stay in here rather than walking circles around the room," he says.
Picks go by. Coty is in a chair next to his girlfriend, Dominique Jordan, a senior at Clemson, who is doing homework. The good news is there are three-plus rounds of picks left. The bad news is roughly 10 cornerbacks ranked higher than Sensabaugh have not been taken.
The draft restarted 53 minutes ago. A watched phone never …
The room explodes in silence. Someone turns down the TV. Someone shushes everybody.
Sensabaugh sees 615 as the area code and knows it's a Nashville number. He looks at the TV and sees the Titans' next pick is coming up. For a few seconds he wonders if it's a prank or a "we like you but will take you later" call.
Sensabaugh mouths, "TI-TANS."
It's a woman on the other end. He says, "Yes, ma'am" a couple times. She asks where he is. He says home. She asks if there are a lot of people around. He says yes. She says good, because I've got good news for you.
His bright and smiling eyes look up. "Why y'all looking at me?"
Fourth round, 115th overall, way earlier than he could have dreamed about. Not only did he go before other corners ranked higher than him, but he got taken by the home-state team.
Kim is on the couch, his face buried in the crook of his left elbow, his right hand pounding the couch, tears in his eyes. On the wall above him is a picture of Jamaar with angel wings that says, "watching over you all."
Becky Sensabaugh and Coty's Aunt BeBe are hugging. Coty is trying to have a serious conversation with his new bosses, so he gets up, walks into the laundry room and closes the door. There, he talks one at a time with a handful of Titans officials, including Brett Maxie, the secondary coach. Maxie coached Coty's cousin, Gerald Sensabaugh, with the Dallas Cowboys.
Out in the living room, everybody hugs everybody. Everybody cries. There is fist bumping and dancing and celebrating.
"What a wonderful, wonderful day," Kim Sensabaugh says.
Travis Sensabaugh arrives a few minutes later. His brother was drafted 19 minutes ago, and he's already talking to someone at a sporting goods store.
"Do you have any Titans T-shirts?" Asked how many he wants to buy, he says, "However many they got." He returns with seven. An hour or so later, armed with Kim's credit card, he goes back to buy more.
Coty Sensabaugh is a great quote. He uses analogies and metaphors and tells great stories. But all he can say now is, "Oh, man. Oh, man. Man. Man. Man. Man."
He hasn't cried yet, and he's probably the only one here who hasn't. His mom's eyes are so red from crying she can hardly see. He will cry later, he admits. For now, he can't. He doesn't have time. His phone won't stop ringing. | <urn:uuid:2f7e8306-d685-4136-8fe9-f3bac73f91af> | CC-MAIN-2015-14 | http://www.sportingnews.com/nfl/story/2012-04-28/nfl-draft-2012-twelve-years-after-a-shattering-loss-clemson-cb-coty-sensabaugh-f | 2015-04-01T08:05:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-14/segments/1427131303523.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20150323172143-00099-ip-10-168-14-71.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.988555 | 1,737 |

Today's prompt - think. This is the first thing that came into my mind when I saw today's word, and leaves me with a great opportunity to remind all you ladies out there to have a quick check of your bosoms/baps/boobs/knockers. It's coming to the end of January, have you paid you boobs some TLC (touch, look, check) yet this month?
I'll leave you with this - it made me giggle!
Ode to Boobs, by Pip Bishop
This heartfelt apology goes out to you all
For moaning you’re too big or moaning you’re too small
For wishing you didn’t hang like puppies in sacks
Or just disappear when we lie on our backs
For squashing you flat with a minimising cup
or those torture bras that push you right up.
Why is it always your bad points we mention
Like your inverted nips or your water retention?
Why don’t we love you as much as our men
Or the babies that love you all over again?
Maybe we’re scared to show you we care
In case, one day, you’re simply not there.

Wow, how fast the weeks are going by - already it's Monday again - I'm not sure what happened to last week! Michael started his new job today as a junior satellite analyst - all very exciting. I've been catching up a bit with last week's HerSpace MySpace prompts - here is my self portrait from Saturday, along with three, tubes and ring. "Snooze" for today is a bit of a cheat - this was taken a while ago, but it's just so darned cute I had to use it!
I've also done some more 6x6 layouts for my previous self-portraits - I'm not up to date with them yet but I will be soon!

We are having internet issues at the moment, it's being incredibly slow and so it's taking me hours to get anything done! Norton antivirus seems to have deleted itself, so i fear we may be infected :( A new version is on it's way so I'll get round to see all your fab photos soon HSMS people :)
I've finally started my A-Z journal (although it's less of a journal and more of a scrapbook!) for wedding planning. I just managed to get "A" done before the "B" prompt came out this weekend - if you want to join in details are at It's A Creative World
I'd ordered the hoop for my dress on ebay on wednesday and it arrived yesterday - well I shouldn't have taken it out of the packet but I was intruiged as to how a hooped underskirt could fit into a rectangular parcel. Well, I opened it up and the thing came popping out, unfolding as it went, it was like a pop up tent! There's no way thats ever going back in the bag, and now I have to store it somewhere lol!
Thursday, 17 January 2008
Very short post today, lots to do! Might even get some scrapping done this afternoon :)
Wednesday, 16 January 2008
Well as my main indulgence is chocolate, my photo just had to be of that. Of course, I had to eat half the choc orange to get the photo! This one is actually a toffee crunch chocolate orange- have you tried it? It's delicious!
Now I know I'm meant to be on a diet in order to fit into my wedding dress in June, but I'm not one of these to deprive myself, I'll let myself have a piece of chocolate each day, and actually you find that the need reduces, rather than totally ruling out chocolate and then eating the whole bar lol!
This LO I did yesterday - the photos really make me giggle cos we look totally drunk! Just realised I cut a nice big bit of the lovely Junkitz paper and then totally covered it up with photos - you can just see the corner peeking out lol!

Lord of the Rings was absolutely amazing! I would definately recommend it if you want to see a West End show - it had a bit of everything - illusions, circus, acrobatics, dance, song, script. The effects were stunning, and we particularly enjoyed the orcs coming into the audience - one gave Dad a fright lol! I don't think I would take young children, it was pretty scary! All in all a very enjoyeable evening. I didn't manage to get any photos - there was no photography allowed in the auditorium and they were quite hot on it!
My show off for today is a photo taken back a few months. I love the blue of the Sky, and was pleased with the angle - this was not the easiest place to get to lol!
Thursday, 10 January 2008
Tomorrow we are off to London to see the Lord of the Rings musical in the West End - I'm so excited about seeing all those hobbits lol! I'll be back on Sunday to catch up.

The first prompt is to snap your favourite coffee mug. Well I don't drink coffee, or tea, the only hot drink I go for is hot chocolate, and to that I'll never say no! It's best topped with chunky marshmellows that melt and sprinkled with grated chocolate, yum!
And it tastes even better when it's in my favourite mug - the good old Ipswich Town mug.

Yesterday's LO is another one featuring holiday photos - I have so many, so it's great to use some up! Although I've never been one of these who feels the need to get "caught up" with scrapbooking (I admire those that can!), it's still satisfying to see a pile get smaller. This is another page map based LO, using loads of Basic Grey Mellow and lots of hand cutting, my finger still feels numb actually lol!
Monday, 7 January 2008
Here is my "fold"
Back later with some recent layouts :)
Saturday, 5 January 2008
I know this isn't really in focus but I loved the colours in it, it feels so warm.
Quick post today as we are off to my parents soon. All the decorations came down today, so we are de-Christmassed and it looks very bare, although the whole house is covered in glitter lol!
Friday, 4 January 2008
I am amazing myself by still being caught up with the layout a day challenge at big picture scrapbooking!
Today's is a total scraplift from a LO in January CK, sorry I can't be more specific. I loves the clean lines and simplicity of it, and thought it was perfect to show off one of my favourite photos! The flower is basic grey chipboard covered with american crafts ribbon.
I've also decided to try the A-Z challenge at It's A Creative World, starting tomorrow. I've wanted to do an A-Z for ages now, and never got around to it so I'm hoping this will keep me on track, and with one letter to do every two weeks it is definately do-able.
I have so many bottles of fragrance, I just love to have a choice and I can't resist a new scent now and again. I don't think I've ever finished a whole bottle due to having so many. One of my current favourites is Ralph Lauren Romance - it's elegant and pretty, I think I'll wear it on my wedding day :)

It's white paint dropped onto the inner of a pizza box, but i got you guessing!
This LO is a scraplift from the Mojo Holder blog, from the 14th December challenge. The journalling on the page reads "What is it about the humble cactus that makes us want to prod it and poke it? Will we ever learn?!" I just loved the white space on this LO sketch, and for a complete change for me used a patterned background paper, and love the effect. Note to self - must do this more!
Instead of waiting for that to happen, or not happen, I got on with the herspace myspace prompt (good to be back!) and here it is - white.

Yesterday I managed 2 layouts and have done one so far today. This is based on a January 08 Page Map - I love using these as a jumping point for layouts. I used some scrapworks papers, love elsie rubons, stickers and chip buttons, papermania brads and american crafts ribbon. I have so much ribbon and always forget to use it lol, so I'm making a conscious effort to keep it close by and use on lots of layouts this month!
Tuesday, 1 January 2008
I just love doing the Pencil Lines sketches and had great fun with this one. Painting the background was great, and the Love Elsie papers were perfect for these underwater photos of Michael when he learnt to dive last summer. The photos lift up to reveal my journalling.
I had to restart my stash diet a little while ago as i caved and bought something lol, but since I did I've completed 6 layouts. At 35 I treat myself to something new and then I'll start all over again untill my stash is down to a resonable size. I also have plans to go through everything and get rid of anything I won't use, I know there's quite a bit and I might discover hidden treasures along the way!
I hope you all had a lovely night to welcome in 2008, and weren't feeling it too much this morning lol!
Today seems to have gone by so quickly, perhaps because we had a big friend breakfast and didn't get dressed until midday - something that is very rare for me.
This afternoon I have scrapped. I'm taking part in Big Picture Scrapbooking's challenge to do a layout a day for January - so 31 layouts in 31 days. This fits in nicely with my stash diet!
So here is my layout for January 1st - my resolutions for 2008. I can't believe I haven't used any patterned paper on here, very unusual. I love the little bird stamp - it's my Rhonna Farrar and came in a pack of Christmas stamps - he actually has "fa la lala la" coming out of his mouth but I just didn't ink that part - I love stamps that can be multifunctional! | <urn:uuid:507225ec-acdf-41cb-87fd-22ee5a8a572b> | CC-MAIN-2017-04 | http://jennaulls.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html | 2017-01-19T21:22:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-04/segments/1484560280746.40/warc/CC-MAIN-20170116095120-00105-ip-10-171-10-70.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.977416 | 2,218 |
What is a coronary angiography?
Coronary angiography is an x-ray examination of the coronary arteries, which are the tubes a few millimetres wide that lie on the outside surface of the heart and take blood to the heart muscle. Just as an engine needs petrol, the heart needs blood to do its job of pumping blood around the body.
Slow build-up of fatty plaque within the artery wall can cause the artery to narrow, leading to reduced blood flow. Sudden changes in the plaque may cause angina (a sudden intense pain in the chest caused by momentary lack of adequate blood supply to the heart muscle) to worsen or may cause a heart attack.
During coronary angiography, a tiny plastic tube called a catheter is introduced under local anaesthesia into your wrist or groin artery. Your cardiologist watches the catheter on an x-ray screen as they pass the tip of the catheter to one of the coronary arteries that lie on the surface of your heart. A special fluid (contrast or dye) which is visible on the x-ray imaging is injected into the coronary arteries and movie pictures of the arteries are recorded. These x-ray pictures of your arteries will show any narrowings that may reduce flow of blood to your heart muscle.
Other tests performed during the coronary angiogram include measuring pressures within the heart chambers, checking function of some of the valves and checking how well the heart muscle is pumping.
Where a narrowing is identified in a coronary artery during a coronary angiogram, the cardiologist may treat the lesion using a stent (fine mesh tube). This is known as Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) also called coronary angioplasty, which means ways of opening narrowings in coronary arteries using fine tubes called catheters introduced from the wrist or groin.
The first image shows a normal Left Coronary Artery (LCA) which supplies blood to the left side of the heart. The second image shows disease (arrows) in the Right Coronary Artery (RCA) which supplies blood to the right side of the heart. | <urn:uuid:6fa8a078-b333-4500-b7fd-633d48b29693> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.intracare.co.nz/Procedures-Treatments/Interventional-Cardiology/Coronary/Coronary-angiography | 2020-09-19T18:58:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400192783.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20200919173334-20200919203334-00582.warc.gz | en | 0.934466 | 439 |
7 Raw Breastfeeding Photos Uncover A Rarely-Talked About Side
As a breast pump company, obviously breastfeeding and pumping go hand-in-hand in our thought-process. The same cannot be said for much of the population. People thinking “nursing mother” and they think special tucked away moments between mother and child in a cozy chair, rocking baby. It is likely they never think of a mom hidden in a corner hooked up to a machine while in work attire and expressing milk just so she can bag it up and get back to her job.
A breastfeeding mom was asked to cover up. Her response was perfect.
There is nothing quite so great as a story of mom who puts someone in their place in regards to public breastfeeding. Avery Lane recently posted a story to her Facebook account that brought her high kudos from the moms of the world. Lane was asked to cover up and she did not hesitate to return the favor.

What Makes Pregnancy Labor Progress?
They say every month has about 30 days, except the final month of pregnancy which has 3,053 days! Once you hit the point of full term, most moms are totally ready for labor to start and have their water break on the kitchen floor. (Spoiler: most moms do not experience a Hollywood style water break and instead the doctor breaks it for them while in the hospital!) If you are ready to get the show on the road, there are no natural guarantees, but some of these recommendations have helped others. [Read more here.]
Test Your Baby Name
Having trouble deciding on your baby name? Or maybe you have one, but you are still hesitant to commit? We understand. In some ways it feels like you are defining your child’s future. (Even though that is ridiculous!) But there are things to consider. This list has a lot of the top questions to ask yourself about a name before committing. Saying the name out loud for hypothetical situations is beneficials as well. (How will it sound being shouted in your ‘you are in big trouble’ voice?) [Read more here.]
A Book’s Content Matters More To Kids’ Learning Than Whether It’s Digital Or Print, Study Finds
Read. To. Your. Kids. I am sure you have been told that it is kind of important. It definitely is; so much so, that new studies are saying how the kids consume reading is not as important as the reading itself. Parents who give their children tablets or phones are sometimes scolded or looked down on because of “too much screen time,” but maybe the child is still benefitting.
“While many studies over the years have vacillated on whether digital books are good for youngsters (or any reader, really) a recent study found that when it comes to reading comprehension, the format might not be the most important thing. A book’s content matters more to kids’ learning than whether it’s digital or print — at least for preschoolers.” [Read more here.]
6 Common Parenting Habits That Are Hurting Your Health
As a parent, it is easy to be so focused on taking care of the kids that you forget to also take care of yourself. But keep in mind, you cannot take care of your kids if you get sick!

New moms: which stroller is right for you and your baby?
As a new mom, figuring out what baby products to list on your registry can be really overwhelming. It is especially hard to decide on some of the more costly products. Which pacifiers to buy? Who knows… Buy several kinds to see what works. The same cannot be said for a stroller. (Unless maybe you are a Kardashian and can afford one in every brand and color.) For the rest of us, we need some guidance for the one perfect fit. (Or at least best fit.) Use this post to learn more about these five strollers that were used by a mom like you.

6 Ways to Encourage Toddlers to Actually Sit Still and Eat Already
How do you find the balance of not having half-filled plates of food sitting out from meal to meal, but not being cruel and snatching away your kid’s food before they’ve eating a sufficient amount? Toddlers are the worst at not simply sitting and completing a meal. Even when they like the food you put in front of them, they easily become distracted and can have trouble sitting still and focusing on finishing their plate.
“Toddlers are busy little people,” says Natalia Stasenko MS, RD, CDN, of Tribeca Nutrition. “Plus, their growth slows after 12 months, so they do not need as many calories. So sitting down for meals is not their priority.”
The good news is, there are ways to reign in your child’s all-over-the-place eating habits and this article includes advice from professionals. [Read more here.]
Pics That Will Make You Feel Better About Your Current Situation
There is a season of life all parents endure through it’s ups and downs: toddlerhood. While dealing with meltdowns, weirdness at home can drive you close to the edge, you can always change up the vibe and escape the house. Experiencing the extreme situations of being the parent of a toddler in public is another story. You feel all of the heads turning and watching. You even feel the ones actively making a point not to stare. But the Instagram account Kids Are The Worst does a great job of bringing parents together in their moments of “glory” (or lack thereof). Misery loves company, right?

Chew, Vol 1: Taster’s Choice
Written by: John Layman
Illustrations by: Rob Guillory
After the bird flu wiped out 23 million people, the government outlawed the consumption of poultry. Tony Chu is a vice cop who is a Cibopath. Cibopath’s are a version of a touch psychic, but instead of getting a reading off of something by merely touching it, they have to eat it.
In Taster’s Choice, Tony and his partner are on a case to bring down a chicken smuggling ring when things take a wrong turn. Suddenly, Tony finds himself with a dying serial killer on his hands and the only way he can think to get the names of the killer’s victims is to eat him. As it turns out, his department isn’t cool with that. But the FDA is and Tony is quickly recruited into their ranks.
Chew is glorious with its fun dark humor, oddball characters and warped version of reality. At this moment, I’ve read the first three volumes of the series and Taster’s Choice is definitely the most solid one. It’s largely an introduction story, working to set-up the world, characters and what will be the main arc of the series but it’s done incredibly well. The story is tight and all the characters who take up page time are given distinct traits that make you want to know more.
I highly recommend this to anyone with a taste for dark humor and a bit of mystery. | <urn:uuid:a1f6b4ff-c28f-4fa7-9073-5031b7df31fc> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | https://bookminxreads.wordpress.com/2015/06/02/review-chew-vol-1-tasters-choice-by-john-layman/ | 2017-10-23T22:37:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187826840.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20171023221059-20171024001059-00151.warc.gz | en | 0.966007 | 321 |

"I don't want to wear red underwear outside to be a Super Man, I just want to be Sal-Man," Salman Khan famously said at the music launch of Readyrecently. Khan put the record straight once-n-for-all by saying, "Ya I am doing Kabir Khan's film." Is it a super hero film? "No, it is not a super hero film. It is a hero's film," Salman said. On being asked if Katrina Kaif is paired with him in Kabir Khan's film, Salman nodded in affirmation.
Promos of Khan's forthcoming film Ready have been creating waves and the film is one of the most eagerly awaited movies post the IPL. Salman has been personally taking keen interest in ensuring that the film is high on the entertainment quotient. In fact, two songs, 'Character Dheela' and 'Dhinka Chika' have been re-shot because he wasn't happy with what was shot in Bangkok. Is this streak of perfection, courtesy friend Aamir? "Yaar, mere saath thodi not perfect cheezein chalti hain. Aamir ke saath perfect cheezein chalti hain. For me it's never the perfect thing, it's more spontaneous. I heard the audio, I saw the visual, and I thought the visual didn't match up. There's no strategy. I just wanted the song to be slightly better and we got that," Salman said. So, when does Salman plan to get married? What's his equation with Sanjay Leela Bhansali? Will he be part of Bajira Mastani ? What does he have to say about the fake 'Being Human' T-shirts flocking the market? Did he really have differences with Anees Bazmee | <urn:uuid:16c917e6-fdeb-4d87-a028-3c50adea30ad> | CC-MAIN-2015-06 | http://www.page3bollywood.com/models/58/89--ready- | 2015-01-27T01:04:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-06/segments/1422122222204.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20150124175702-00092-ip-10-180-212-252.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.970222 | 376 |

CHANNELS OF DISTRIBUTION
Channels of distribution are defined as network of intermediaries capable of linking the producer to the market. The movement also involves payment, information, and promotion of the business.
There are five principal categories of channels of distribution
Selling directly to consumers is commonly found in industrial market as against consumer market. The industrial chemicals for example are usually sold directly to the ultimate users of the product. The Government on the other hand, can also buy directly from the manufacturers through their purchasing agencies.
REASONS FOR THE USE OF THIS CHANNEL
The need to demonstrate technical goods to prospective purchasers because it is difficult to buy technical goods that need further explanations through advertisement message. There is also the need to give specialized after-sales service to consumers.
Lack of expert knowledge of other channel of distributions
Unduly high intermediary profit margins
Inability of intermediaries to effect physical transportations.
REASONS AGAINST THIS CHANNEL
Lack of financial resources. To actually sell direct, there are difficulties of financial resources.
Lack of a sufficiently wide assortments. Only fewer companies have large product line or differentiated goods.
The expert knowledge of some experienced middlemen of breaking the large units to smaller units may not be provided by the company itself.
Lack of “know-how” in effecting final chain of distribution.
Selling through the post (mail order) connotes that customers buy direct by post, either in response to an advertisement or from a sales promotional catalogue. The post office is the agent of this distribution channel by delivering the goods to the right ownership. If this channel is to be organized on a very large scale basis and it will also be significant that other communication services are in good condition.
One of the greatest advantage of this channel is that the deliveries cost is low when compared with that of in-store retailing. Secondly, it enables the consumer to shop without the convenience of going to the store or shopping centre.
The possible disadvantage associated with this method is the inabilities of not seeing what you want or need to purchase. Secondly, the deliveries cost may be higher than that of in-store retailing and also high promotional support. Lastly, the financing credit and cost of maintaining up-to-date mailing list becomes difficult and hazardous.
Selling directly to retailers. When manufacturers decide to sells directly to retailers, they assume the position of the wholesalers and agents, whose responsibility is to buy in large quantities and re-sells in small quantities to the retailers. When manufacturing firms decide to use this channel in selling their products, they should bear in mind that more salesforce must be employed as to achieve the desired objective. This paves way for some large-scale retailers to buy directly from the manufacturing firms because of the ability of manufactures to establish close merchandising and promotional relations with them. For example, the establishment of supemarkets, departmental stores, multiple or chain sires, and others are living evidence of this phenomenon. Exclusive selling could be dangerous ad difficult in this channel.
The logical sequence of channeling or disseminating information or products is that of the traditional type which involves manufacturers selling to the wholesalers, whose responsibility is to stock large quantities of goods purchase and reselling them at smaller quantities to the retailers, who in turn make it available to the public consumers. This method is also called the progressive method. Basically, it has been agreed upon that the wholesalers are responsible or inflating the prices of every items manufactured or produced.
Distribution through agencies that stand between the manufacturers and the wholesalers. Therefore, between the manufacturers and the wholesalers stands the brokers, manufacturers agents, the commission merchants and export merchants. This channel is commonly used when the manufacturing firms cannot afford the necessary money to recruits able salesmen. This is the channel used to market industrial products.
There are several disadvantages attached to this channel. Firstly, this channel is not a good method of disposing products, especially when the manufacturers are new in business. Secondly, the inability of receiving or getting the response of the market becomes difficult and hampered. Finally, the prices of every manufactured doods may increase in multiple percent before getting to the public consumers.
FACTORS DETERMINING CHOICE OF CHANNEL
The four major determinants of choice of channel to choose are discussed below:
THE MARKET DETERMINANT
THE PRODUCT DETERMINANT
THE MIDDLEMEN DETERMINANT
THE COMPANY DETERMINANT
The market determinant could be summed up in three principal outlooks and these includes:
A market that is conversely small is easier to serve directly than a big market.
A market with few customers needed middlemen than one with broad potential customers.
A product like cigarette which is bought frequently in smaller quantity at a lower cost is more likely to need the services of the middlemen than products that may not be required often.
The product itself also has peculiar determinant on choice of channel to favour. Products that are heavy and bulky or that which needs further explanation before purchase are made should follow direct channel i.e. from manufacturer to the ultimate users. Also, products whose customers are not clearly aware of their needs like life assurance policy or that which requires the attention of the buyers like tailoring are to be directed to the ultimate users.
The middlemen determinant also has adverse effect on type of channel to favoured. Primarily, the middlemen provides the following services to retailers which the manufacturers may not provide themselves such as storage, packaging, depots, delivery vans, servicing arrangements etc. Secondly if the desire middlemen are not available or some dubious attitude of middlemen toward manufacturers can stimulate manufactures to sell directly.
The company itself is the greatest on choice of channel to favoured. Firstly, company entering the market for the first time should sells through intermediaries because of the expertise knowledge of some middlemen.
Conversely, companies that has been established in the market with large potentials customers may eliminate the services of middlemen. Secondly, companies that are financially viable should established (employ) more salesforce to market their product by granting credit, and providing warehousing for the product. On the other hand, companies that are weak financially should sell’s through middlemen that may provides service like storage, packaging, delivery vans, services arrangement etc.
ROLE(S) OF DISTRIBUTIONAL CHANNEL:
By bringing the goods conveniently in various sizes, styles, units, packages, and shapes to the consumers.
They are responsible for breaking the large quantity to a smaller unit, thereby making it more flexible for the consumers to purchase.
They help to move goods from one particular place to another.
They make it simple for their various customers to obtain the goods at a rate of their choice.
They also give helping hand to a small producer in financial management. For example clothing firms may provide the small local producer with the capital needed for expansion.
They may also assist in each stage to obtain information from the public consumers that are passed to the top management (manufacturers/producers) for market intelligence.
Some marketing channels may lead the promotional effort for a particular brand of product, This will therefore portray the goodwill of the company. | <urn:uuid:3ab983a5-724b-4616-b599-e222c48f29fb> | CC-MAIN-2023-06 | https://www.businessplannigeria.com.ng/channel-distribution/ | 2023-02-05T10:11:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-06/segments/1674764500251.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20230205094841-20230205124841-00437.warc.gz | en | 0.950049 | 1,538 |

you know....i really never thought i'd be the mom of 3 boys. i kinda always figured i'd have girls. i like the girly stuff. i like to sew. i like doing hair. i like pink. but now that i have all boys....i have had to come to the reality that there isn't going to be any pink around this house. instead i have Legos, Hot Wheels, Star Wars and Bakugans (i still don't even know what these are or what they do). but although i am not in love with all the boy toys, i really love having boys. and i now consider myself a boys mom.
i guess i have to accept the fact that all toys in this house will become boy toys. | <urn:uuid:5da34966-d035-45ea-b5e7-4b7b8fba907a> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.sandytoesandpopsicles.com/orange-county/boys/ | 2022-01-27T21:20:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320305288.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20220127193303-20220127223303-00340.warc.gz | en | 0.979858 | 153 |

The Carolina Hurricanes are doing OK. Perhaps a bit better than expected at 11-9-3. After home wins, the Hurricanes are indulging some victory celebrations that rival NFL choreography: Witness the viking clap, jumping into the end boards en masse, paddling the canoe and dominos falling.
If such tomfoolery is legit funny, I take it. Otherwise, I leave it.
But, for me, the tiebreaker is: Brian Burke hates it. So I love it.
Brian Burke is a hockey lifer: Minor-league player, agent, NHL general manager, NHL team executive, NHL executive, and media pundit.
He is also a miserable douchebag. Everyone I know that knows Burke hates him.
So when Burke says, “I think it’s absurdly amateurish, pee-wee garbage stuff,” it makes me hope every NHL team mimics the ‘Canes post-win antics.
Score one for the Hurricanes’ Twitter:
My final analysis: Carolina’s celebratory histrionics are mostly dumb, but well-meant and not look-at-me ego-jerking like similar revelry that involves sponsorship by a pizza chain. But, to be clear, mostly dumb.
But the ‘Canes are only playing to two-thirds capacity at home. They’re wise to give the fans that do show up something extra to cheer. And they only use excess to celebrate wins. Not after interceptions when their team trails by 14. | <urn:uuid:a93ceaaf-69f2-48aa-a744-d796e254fa57> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://1059thex.iheart.com/featured/mark-madden/content/2018-11-26-burke-jerk-go-canes/ | 2023-12-07T20:25:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100686.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20231207185656-20231207215656-00539.warc.gz | en | 0.926062 | 322 |

After a lifetime of studying the Left, I have concluded that leftism is a form of moral poison. It causes otherwise decent and kind people who take it into their systems to say and do cruel, sometimes evil, things.
While not specifically about the Left, a major new scholarly book, Pathological Altruism, published by Oxford University Press, explores this phenomenon of people wanting to do good things yet ending up doing bad ones. It applies to New York Times foreign-affairs columnist Thomas L. Friedman, who has a deep altruistic urge to bring peace to the Middle East. But because he sees the world through the liberal/Left prism, he says morally reprehensible things — statements that individuals associated with hate-filled, non-altruistic groups and ideologies would make.
In his December 13 column, yet another of his attacks on Israel and its supporters, Friedman wrote: “The standing ovation he [Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu] got in Congress this year was . . . bought and paid for by the Israel lobby.”
If a non-Jew had written this, he would have been severely condemned for writing something outright anti-Semitic. The notion that Jews manipulate the levers of power in Western societies for their own nefarious ends is probably the most enduring of all the West’s Jew-hating myths. It was a staple of Nazi anti-Semitism and is the single most repeated charge of those in the Arab and larger Muslim worlds who seek to annihilate Israel. Its purpose is to convince people that non-Jews who support Israel have been paid off by Jews.
But Friedman, who is a Jew and a liberal, can get away with it — even though it is morally repulsive that Jew-haters can now assert they are merely quoting a well-known Jew. Who’s going to call him on it? The New York Times?
One congressman, to his credit, did condemn Friedman. Rep. Steven R. Rothman (D., N.J.) released this statement:
Thomas Friedman’s defamation against the vast majority of Americans who support the Jewish State of Israel, in his New York Times opinion piece today, is scurrilous, destructive and harmful to Israel and her advocates in the U.S. Mr. Friedman is not only wrong, but he’s aiding and abetting a dangerous narrative about the U.S.-Israel relationship and its American supporters.
I gave Prime Minister Netanyahu a standing ovation, not because of any nefarious lobby, but because it is in America’s vital national security interests to support the Jewish State of Israel and it is right for Congress to give a warm welcome to the leader of such a dear and essential ally. Mr. Friedman owes us all an apology.
Friedman’s charge, as Representative Rothman points out, is not only “scurrilous, destructive and harmful to Israel,” it is also a lie. The Congress of the United States — including Republicans who have virtually no Jews in their district or state — supports Israel for the same reasons Harry Truman recognized Israel against the advice of the U.S. State Department, Richard Nixon saved Israel during the 1973 war despite his anger at Jewish liberals, and Dick Cheney vigorously supported Israel despite Wyoming’s having almost no Jewish population. They all believed that Israel shares America’s moral values, while Israel’s enemies (who happen to hate America as well as Israel) do not.
So, why does Mr. Friedman, who I assume is an honorable man and a well-intentioned seeker of peace in the Middle East, write something that is both mendacious and hateful, that abets anti-Semitism, and that labels every pro-Israel congressman and senator a political whore?
Because he is a man of the Left.
When good people adopt the leftist worldview, they eventually support ideas, and say things, that are cruel. Thomas Friedman did not write this anti-Semitic libel because he is an anti-Semite. Of course he is not an anti-Semite. He wrote it because he is a leftist.
Leftism poisons everything it influences — from journalism to the arts to universities to religion to government to male-female relations. And ultimately leftism poisons character. This does not mean that everyone with left-wing views becomes a bad person, and it doesn’t mean that everyone with conservative views is a good person. Both judgments are untrue and foolish.
But it does mean that leftism leads to pathological altruism, i.e., bad things done by people with pure intentions. Just as Mahatma Gandhi’s hatred of violence led him to tell the Jews of Europe not to resist Hitler, so, too, leftism leads decent people who would weep at Israel’s destruction to mouth the very same lies about Israel as those who seek to annihilate it.

BRANDON — Employees of Ryuu Japanese Steak House will probably spend a lot of time correcting customers' pronunciation.
Despite its spelling, the restaurant's name is pronounced sort of like "Loo." It's the Japanese word for dragon.
Ryuu is tentatively set to open at Westfield Brandon mall the first week of November.
Owner Robert Smith said Ryuu will offer customers a seamless mix of traditional and contemporary Japanese dining.
"It's just not your typical Japanese steak house," Smith said. "It's modernized. When you walk in, you'll know you're in a Japanese restaurant. You can watch the show if you want, but there's also booth sitting if you want a more intimate experience."
The show Smith refers to is teppanyaki, the flashy table-side cooking performed by Japanese chefs on small grills. Ryuu will have group tables for people who want that experience, and who don't mind possibly sharing a table with strangers. It also will have Western-style private tables.
The restaurant will feature a sushi bar with more than 40 items and a full liquor bar.
Smith said he has reason to believe that Ryuu will be a hit with area residents. He opened Tsunami Japanese Steak House about a year ago near Tyrone Square Mall in St. Petersburg. Tsunami has the same blend of traditional and contemporary ambience, features essentially the same menu and has been popular with Pinellas County diners.
Smith said he's very picky about the food he uses, but he aims to keep prices reasonable.
"I would say it's moderate," he said. "The average price for dinner would probably be $20 to $25."
At both of his restaurants, Smith said, there's just as much attention paid to the service and the dining experience as to the food itself.
"It's a pleasurable place," he said. "You're not just a customer. You're a guest."
Ryuu Japanese Steak House will be open from 11:30 a.m. until 11 p.m. seven days a week. Ryuu doesn't have a phone number or a website yet, but the site for its sister restaurant is tsunamijapanesesteakhouse.com.
Add gasoline to list of Costco offerings
Life just got a little more convenient for customers of the Brandon Costco.
Earlier this month, Costco added 12 gas pumps at its location at 10921 Causeway Blvd., so members don't need to make a separate stop to fill up.
The pumps are only available to Costco members. They're open from 6:30 a.m. until 9 p.m. Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. Saturday and 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. Sunday. Those are longer hours than the Costco warehouse, and an attendant will be on duty at all times. American Express and ATM cards are the only accepted forms of payment.
General manager Hector Mencia said he has researched prices at other stations within a 5-mile radius and couldn't find any with lower prices.

The Chinese economy has 1.2 billion unsuspecting people on board. It could all blow if economic growth drops below its current pace of more than 8 percent. Even a small, otherwise harmless speed bump is likely to send this gigantic economy into a severe recession. Here are the reasons why:
- China has become a de facto manufacturer for the world. With exception of food products, it is difficult finding a product that was not, at least in part, manufactured in China. Industrial production accounts for 53 percent of its Gross National Product (according to CIA Handbook), double the rate of most developed nations. Industrial production for the United States is 19.7 percent of GDP, UK 26.3 percent, Japan 24.7 percent. Chinese economic growth is largely driven by the manufacturing sector, as its industrial production growing at the double rate of GDP.
- The manufacturing industry is very capital intensive. Building factories requires a large upfront investment. To make things worse, with commodity costs rising, the required investment has increased. Once it’s built there is a fixed cost associated with running a factory that is to some degree independent of utilization level – a classical definition of operational leverage. Laying-off workers is a politically sensitive process thus creating another layer of fixed costs.
- Debt is an instrument of choice in China. Due to a lack of equity-fund- raising alternatives, bank debt and underground finance companies that charge very high interest rates are the predominate sources of capital in China – financial leverage. Large piles of debt (financial leverage) combined with high fixed costs (operational leverage) create a very high total operational leverage. Total operational leverage in China is elevated further as factories are built to accommodate a future demand, and since it has been rising in the past automatically projected to climb in the future.
This greatly leveraged growth works fine as long as the economy continues to grow at fast pace. As sales are growing, costs are not growing as fast as they are largely fixed (thanks to operational leverage) leading to operating margins expansion - the beauty of leverage. Unfortunately leverage works both ways, as sales growth slows down the opposite takes place.
There are many factors that could cause the fatal slow down in Chinese economic growth:<
- Slowdown of China’s largest trading ‘partner’ - the U.S. economy: China is financing its biggest customer – the U.S. consumer. Similar to Lucent Technologies trying to induce sales growth by financing its dot.com customers, China is in part financing U.S. consumers by buying U.S. Treasuries, thus keeping the U.S. interest rates at very low levels and creating what Mr. Greenspan called a ‘conundrum’.
- Higher short-term rates coupled with debt levered balance sheets, doubling of credit card minimum payments (coming to consumer door steps in January 2006), high gasoline prices topped with a sprinkle of significantly higher heating costs may push consumer off the shopping train - lowering demand for Chinese produced goods.
- An ever rising pile of politically motivated bad loans may bring the Chinese banking system to a halt (similar to Japan’s of late 80s). Though China is trying to Westernize its lending practices, a dangerous combination of semi-market economy and a in most part government controlled banks is very dangerous. In this environment loans are often made not on the merit of investment but based on political connection – a recipe for disaster.
- Overcapacity - It is a human tendency to draw straight lines and thus making linear projections from past into the future. During the fast growth period the angle of the straight lines is usually tilted upward, causing over investment in fixed assets, as inability to keep up with demand may cause manufacturers to lose valuable customers. However, overcapacity is a death sentence in the manufacturing (fixed costs) world.
As companies face overcapacity or slowdown in demand, they try to stimulate sales by cutting prices, which in part lead to price wars (similar to what we observed in the U.S. between Sprint, MCI and AT&T (NYSE: T) in long distance business in mid 90s) and to a fatal deflation.
Currently companies emphasize their China strategy on their conference calls, in a similar fashion as companies were emphasizing their internet strategies in the late 90s. Though did not start re-naming themselves to incorporate China into their names -a common practice in late stages of internet bubble; It is very apparent that many are making large investments in China. As it usually happens after the bubble pops, the past assets turn into today’s liabilities. Thus, a highly touted exposure to China that was looked upon as an important asset lead to a written-off investment, leaving nothing but a trail of liabilities behind.
Though a pop in Chinese bubble is unimaginable to many, the same way as collapse of Japan and fifteen year recession that followed was unimaginable in late 80s. It is not a question of ‘if’ but more of a question of ‘when’ the Chinese economy will cross that metaphorical 50 miles per hour mark and falling into the deep abyss of prolonged recession and very possible deflation.
China is living through one of the greatest historical bubbles. Books will likely be written to describing its ‘ridiculousness’, but as always, they’ll be written after the fact. Here are some suggestions for the book titles: “The Chinese Conundrum” or “The Great Chinese Bubble” or “Irrational Exuberance 2”.
But, as with any bubble timing, the pop is very difficult. Bears are usually too early to call it and bulls are usually too late to see it.
As government published numbers of economic growth cannot be trusted, investors should look for anecdotal clues for the inflection point. Conference calls of U.S. companies doing business in China are probably the best source of information.
The risk of the Chinese bubble is real, thus it may be wise to prepare by immunizing portfolios from that risk. Though being completely rid of the China risk is impossible and impractical, it is very important to stress-test a portfolio against that risk, one stock at a time. Industrial commodities and companies that produce them are likely to be the first casualties of the bubble bursting. Oil stocks like Chevron (NYSE:CVX), Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM), Conoco Phillips (NYSE:COP) and many others were great performers in 2005, up in double digits. Their run is likely to end when Chinese economy goes into a tail spin. | <urn:uuid:feb92c6c-f6e3-4e92-80da-6f8529d73e44> | CC-MAIN-2014-35 | http://seekingalpha.com/article/16552 | 2014-08-22T01:56:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-35/segments/1408500822407.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20140820021342-00149-ip-10-180-136-8.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.964803 | 1,343 |
Congress wants to divide country: SAD
Party Secretary and spokesman alleged that the Congress has failed to do anything to help the labour and working class in the Uttar Pradesh.
Chandigarh: Shiromani Akali Dal on Tuesday
condemned the statement of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi
asking Uttar Pradesh youth not to go to Punjab and Maharashtra
to earn their livelihood.
The party said in a statement here that a "nefarious
attempt (by Congress) to disrespect" the hardworking labour
class of Uttar Pradesh aims at creating a regional divide in
the country for petty political gains.
It is clear that the Congress which always "pretended to
be a nationalist party" has stooped low to create regional
fissures in the country, the party said.
Party Secretary and spokesman Daljit Singh Cheema alleged
that the Congress has failed to do anything to help the labour
and working class in the Uttar Pradesh and now it was
misleading them and preventing them from exploring job avenues
in other states.
He said Gandhi should come out with the truth as to why
the Congress failed to deliver when it remained in power for
so long at the Centre. It should also explain what it had done
for the welfare of the people and for containing widespread
unemployment in the country, he said. | <urn:uuid:e8306a07-9782-49bb-9503-4c31650e6aa2> | CC-MAIN-2018-05 | http://zeenews.india.com/news/punjab/congress-wants-to-divide-country-sad_741982.html | 2018-01-17T20:33:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-05/segments/1516084886964.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20180117193009-20180117213009-00481.warc.gz | en | 0.946295 | 276 |
She had a huge footprint, one that covered nearly a quarter mile.
She was built using funds that were contributed by Philadelphians in a special war bond drive in 1945. In fact, more than $7 million of her $76 million price tag came from school children.
The 1946 commission of this vessel marked her with a name that spoke of confidence, courage and a fighting spirit: The USS Valley Forge.
After her construction at the Philadelphia Navy Yard, the 36,000-ton behemoth sailed through the Panama Canal and took up residence at her home port of San Diego, CA. She remained active during both the Korean and Vietnam wars, remaining in the fleet until 1970.
This Veteran's Day, several of her former crew members remember their time onboard.
"I stepped onto the Valley Forge on December 10, 1967," says James Watts of Houston, who enlisted directly out of high school.
One of his first jobs at sea was a 90-day stint as a mess cook. "From 4 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., we fed three meals a day to 5,000 sailors and marines." He eventually rose to the position of Mess Cook Yeoman, which garnered him an onboard office. Among his perks was "...a turntable with more than 30 albums to play."
The position suited him: "It was the best job on the whole ship except for the captain and other officers," he recalls. He extended his term of service an additional three months.
John Cline - now from Rice Lake, WI - served in an electronic technician group, where he specialized in radar. He recalls going to shore "several times to give a sonic cleaning to electronic gear." He also was flown to a hospital ship to work on its radar.
Cline's time aboard the Valley Forge coincided with the recommission and redeploy of the USS New Jersey. He remembers seeing a demonstration of its powerful armaments: "When the New Jersey fired all her guns broadside, it moved her back in the water seven feet."
Legal officer aboard the Valley Forge was Harold DuBois of Baltimore, MD.
"I was 23 years old and had finished pre-law," he says. "I knew I was going to be drafted, but I wanted a choice in the branch of the service I would be assigned to. I saw a magazine with an ad showing two naval officers walking down the beach in Hawaii, wearing these hats. The other page showed a couple of soldiers in a foxhole, slopping through the mud and eating out of cans. So back to the two officers on the beach, I thought, ‘That looks pretty good.'"
DuBois picked up the ship out of Norfolk, Va., and went through the Panama Canal. "On the way through - she was one of the first aircraft carriers that ever went through - the flight deck knocked over a lot of structures that were very close. But we got through," he recollects.
When the ship docked at the Subic Bay Naval Base in the Philippians, DuBois' role included enforcing curfew for crewmembers on leave. "At night, there was a curfew of 11 o'clock, to make sure the sailors got back onboard the ship. I used to have to stay to maybe 12, 1 o'clock every night. Every once in a while, I had to walk around to all the nightclubs to see if all the sailors were out of there."
Throughout 1969, the Valley Forge continued to serve helicopter support for the military engagements in Vietnam, specifically in Danang. In August 1969, she set sail for Hong Kong to avoid an approaching typhoon. She dropped anchor there for three days, during which the orders came down: The Valley Forge would be decommissioned.
On September 22, 1969, she pulled into Long Beach and, after a few short jaunts to deliver offloaded supplies, underwent the months-long process of being mothballed. One final excursion took her to San Diego, where she was formally removed from the Navy's list of active vessels on January 15, 1970.
One additional adventure awaited: The interior of the inactive aircraft carrier was used as a filming location for the sci-fi film Silent Running, starring Bruce Dern.
A fundraising effort was begun, with the intent of turning the USS Valley Forge into a museum. But when sufficient support failed to emerge, she was sold for scrap on October 29, 1971.
Her record, however lives on: The ship was awarded eight battle stars for Korean War service and nine for Vietnam service, as well as three Navy Unit Commendations.
DuBois' time onboard eventually led him to visit the site that served as the ship's namesake. "I got to see the preserved buildings and artifacts at Valley Forge Park, the things that go back to when George Washington was there" he says. "It's really pretty amazing, the things from the Revolution that are still around."
Those treasures of Valley Forge include the military personnel who served aboard its decks as she plied the seas in combat. This Veterans Day, we recognize the commitment of all her crew, including seamen Watts, Cline and DuBois.

Day 4 of The Write Tribe Festival of Words 1st – 7th September 2013. Taken in the Bandipur Safari ride, we were hoping to see the majestic tiger but no complaints on this view either. The trip through the forest on the way to Ooty was more interesting though.

A day prior to the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Hong Kong secondary students are gathered at a class boycott at Chater Garden in Central as part of the anti-government movement.
Netizens also called for a general strike today, urging people to rest at home and reserve energy for tomorrow’s rallies and protests.
Preparatory Platform of Class Boycotts in Secondary Schools – co-founded by student groups Demosisto, Demovanile and Anti-Foo – said on their Instagram account that a rally would take place at 12.30pm. The Letter of No objection from the police commissioner allows them to stay until 8pm.
The Platform encouraged participating students to wear their school uniforms at the assembly. The general public is also welcome to join.
Meanwhile, later today from 5pm to 9pm, there will be a joint-school assembly at Morse Park in Wong Tai Sin with singing, sharing from students and guests, and film screening sessions, according to the student concern group of Lok Sin Tong Yu Kan Hing Secondary School.
Students from Chai Wan and Siu Sai Wan will also join hands from 7pm to 10pm at Siu Sai Wan Complex for a “National day of mourning” event.
In Tin Shui Wai, there will be a joint-school human chain activity that stretches across a 2.3 kilometre-route from Tin Shui Wai MTR Station to Tin Sau Road Park from 8pm to 11pm.
Young Post be updating this piece with additional photos and information.
[Update: 7.36pm ]
This is the end of our live reporting from various student-led rallies across the city. Follow us on Instagram @youngposthk for further coverage tonight.
[Update: 7.30pm, Morse Park]
A form five student surnamed Ling from Po Leung Kuk No.1 W. H. Cheung College said he attended the assembly for the future of himself, the people around him and the future generations.
The 15-year-old said he was shocked to see the police deploy tear gas just 100 metres away from him on June 12, the day when tear gas rounds were first fired in the city this year at the start of the anti-government movment.
"I also felt very sorry for not being able to do more for the movement, such as attending the public rallies, given the strong opposition from my parents who have been extremely worried about my safety." However, Ling added that he has been trying to play a part in the movement by helping with the making of promotional materials.
[Update: 7.13pm, Morse Park]
The student rally at Morse Park has grown to about 200 attendees, as the crowd sings what is being called the protest anthem 'Glory to Hong Kong' with hands on their hearts. The peaceful demonstration will continue until 9pm https://t.co/CmMfL5vmrn#HKprotests #antiELAB#HongKong pic.twitter.com/NrEjV8HWdh— SCMP Young Post (@youngposthk) September 30, 2019
[Update: 7.06pm, Morse Park]
A Year One Hong Kong Polytechnic University surnamed Chau, said he learned about the event from his alma mater Po Leung Kuk No. 1 W. H. Cheung College's student concern group.
"I think this venue (the open air theatre), which is seldom used but is a place that many senior citizens and housewives will pass by, is a great platform to raise awareness about the anti-extradition movment." He added that it was important to promote the message across different age groups, especially to housewives and the elderly who usually read pro-government news coverage from channels like TVB. "I hope they could try to listen to the voice of the youth."
[Update: 6.44pm, Morse Park]
A form five student from Buddhist Hung Sean Chau Memorial College urged other student participants to never stop practising their critical thinking, whether it's analysing what they see in the news, to pondering the direction of the movment.
"Only by doing so can we ensure we will not be manipulated by hatred, or create a new community that is governed by totalitarianism - which is no different to China."
[Update: 6.13pm, Morse Park]
There were also a few mobile Lennon Walls for students to write down messages on.
[Update: 5.48pm, Morse Park]
Meanwhile on the other side of the harbour at Morse Park in Wong Tai Sin, another rally is being held by students from schools in the district.

[Update: 3.58pm, Chater Garden]
Lau (left) and Chan, 15-year-old students from Sheng Kung Hui Tsoi Kung Po Secondary School in Ho Man Tin, boycotted class to attend the rally today. They were wearing masks and wanted to make a reference to the movie V for Vendetta.
“It represents the people’s unity,” said Lau. “We will keep coming out until all five demands are met.”
Although their school allowed them to build a Lennon wall on campus, it also tore down some of the sticky notes put up by students.
“The school teaches us about respect, but I don’t think they’re respecting us at all,” said Chan.
They spent three hours earlier today to draw and print some posters that they distributed at the rally. Lau also connected a black ballon on her hair tie which read, “rather die than to live in silence”.
When asked if they were afraid that the school would punish them for skipping classes, Lau said, “We won’t be scared and silenced, because we did nothing wrong.”
[Update: 3.21pm, Chater Garden]
Boyz Reborn, a local youth band who covered and created a lot the protest songs, performed their original songs including “When we were 18” on the stage. They urged the students to never give up on their dreams.
[Update: 3.14pm, Chater Garden]
Agnes Chow also showed up on the stage and said that even as an activist, she had not participated in a class boycott. She said she really appreciated the students’ courage for coming out today.
[Update: 2.51pm, Chater Garden]
Lawmaker Jeremy Tam said that “no cutting ties”, a principle that protesters uphold, shouldn’t only be applied among the protesters, but within the community too.
“If you cut ties with people who share a different stance, then you’ll never be able to influence them.”
He added that the reason why one of the demands was changed from the resignation of Carrie Lam to universal suffrage was that only a democratic system can help avoid the loopholes of the current situation.
[Update: 2.33pm, Chater Garden]
Fok, a 12-year-old student at Ying Wa College, shared on the stage that he had seen protesters even younger than him in the streets. He then asked, “Carrie Lam are you sick? Even primary school kids came out!” He also said that the protests were generally peaceful when the police were absent. “Clearly, the only people that are destroying Hong Kong’s stability are not us, the so-called rioters, but the ‘dogs’, (a reference to the police)."
[Update: 2.18pm, Chater Garden]
[Update: 1.57pm, Chater Garden]
Lee, a 16-year-old student at Ju Ching Chu Secondary School (Yuen Long), walked out of class today to join the rally.
He wanted to tell other students who are still staying in the classroom, “Stop lying to yourselves. The future belongs to us, no one will fight for it except us.”
“We can study whenever we want, but if Hong Kong is entirely controlled by China, there’ll be no point to study anymore because we won’t have any freedom and we’ll only receive brainwashing messages.”
[Update: 1.49pm, Chater Garden]
Keung (left) and Chan, 14-year-old students from a school in Ap Lei Chau, came after the school’s sports day in Wan Chai Sports Ground. They both came behind their parents’ backs, as they were afraid they would be very worried and not allow them to come. Regarding the National day protest tomorrow, Keung said, “I’m coming out no matter what, because everyone is equally needed in this movement and can make a difference already. Hong Kong’s future is very unpredictable right now, we have to fight while we still can.”
[Update: 1:34pm, Chater Garden]
[Update: 1.30pm, Chater Garden]
HKFEW Wong Cho Bau Secondary School student Adam shared that it's been the fourth consecutive week of class boycotts at his school. He alleged his school threatened to punish participating students by giving them demerits, and not letting them proceed to the next form next year.
He alleged that when they were chanting slogans outside the school this morning, the school called the police. A total of seven police showed up with weapons and round shields and searched the students. Adam said one of the police even attempted to snatch away a student’s mobile phone.

he GNPC/AKER deal is an Absolute SCAM by a wicked Economic Management Team "EMT" led by Veep Dr. Bawumia and the Finance Minister Mr. Ken Ofori Attah in tète a tète with the Energy Minister Dr. Mathew Opoku Prempeh; whose cooked statement that 10,000 "artificial" jobs will be conjured like magic, is MERE Hogwash that cannot EVER Whitewash this THIEVERY, being supervised by the Veep admitted demon- possessed H.E Akufo - Addo Try - me, I am incorruptible Presidency, which will go down in Ghana's history as a most CORRUPT, MAFIA wizardry government.
Mathew Opoku Prempeh who is tipped for the NPP 2024 Vice Presidential slot has a very simple obligation:
- Explain why he presented $1.2bn to Parliament for a stake worth $155m
- Is Ghana a commercial bank?
This CROOKED deal seeks to turn a debt-ridden insolvent Ghana that the same "EMT" has borrowed into a debt - crisis to now become a "Father Christmas" Commercial Bank to make $1.045 bn gift, dressed up as a commercial loan to GNPC, to be handed over to Aker Energy and its Norwegian CORRUPTION ex -convict billionaire Ownership.
- Let us ask: How much of the over one-billion-dollar OVERDRAFT will wind its way back into NPP Coffers and specific Individual Pockets of the Project Design and Implementation Executioners for the 2024 elections and its aftermath?
- Can the Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia explain to us the dynamics of how his head of Investments and business development, Mrs Kadija Amoah became positioned as Aker Energy Ghana's in -charge Representative in this national corruption charade?
- Was this not a facilitating political strategy for this GNPC /Aker amazing state plunder for a scandalous 2024 election warchest?
The circuitous job creation excuse is a dust -throwing mirage and corruption cover- up theatrick. Even if Ghana's entire Youth Unemployment menace were to be resolved, this consequential $1.045bn heist, is not justifiable under any circumstance for our haunted Vice President and his fraudulent EMT to raid state coffers as though Ghana would vanish if the country is not milked for its last pesewas to feed his Presidential ambition into a STOLEN reality in 2024
Has the One Constituency one-million-dollar operations been stopped? At a million dollars each, over one thousand (1,000) constituencies could benefit from this mega-greedy daylight robbery GNPC / Aker misdeal by the top Ghana misleader corps for nation- wide job creation for 3.5 consecutive years AND for an insightful comprehensive Busia-inspired rural development drive. Ghana currently has 275 constituencies! Go figure the 10,000- job gutter economics of the gurus!
May God help a tear- filled and fearful Ghana, grapling a new culture of silence, win back her soul from corruption damnation. For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of Love and of Power and of a Sound Mind. Amen and Amen

While Miles Morales didn’t appear in Spider-Man: Homecoming, Marvel Studios made it very clear that the character exists within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. As the digital copy of the film is now available in the States, new deleted scenes have found their way online, with one specifically name-dropping the future Spider-Man.
The deleted scene comes from a hilarious sequence, in which Spidey interrogates Donald Glover’s character. We already suspected that Glover portrays Morales’ uncle, but this deleted scene confirms it, with the character talking to Miles on the phone.
Check out the scene below:
Thrilled by his experience with the Avengers, young Peter Parker returns home to live with his Aunt May.

'I don't suppose I will ever deal with the shame that overwhelmed me the second after I had done that," said Athol Fugard, recalling an afternoon in his South African boyhood when he rode up on a bicycle behind his black friend and mentor, Sam Semela, called out Semela's name and spat in his face.
"Master Harold . . . and the Boys" at the South Coast Repertory represents Fugard's attempt to come to grips with that shame, the memory of which remained buried in him for 40 years. It's the most autobiographical of his plays to date, but it transcends the particulars of that day to bring us not just the shame of an individual, but shame's ugly, unmanageable weight and its bitter repercussions. On Tuesday, when Hally (the Fugard surrogate) spit in Sam's face, the opening-night audience made a sound as though it had been punched in the gut.
As in the play, Fugard's mother owned a cafe called the St. George's Park Tea Room in Port Elizabeth. Though only 10, Fugard ran the place in her absence with the help of black employees--Semela chief among them. One night Semela was called on to haul Fugard's drunken father out of an all-white saloon and carry him home while the boy, stung with mortification, tagged along.
This, and some other details, are recalled on a rainy afternoon at the cafe as Willie and Sam are cleaning up and Hally (now 17) is in from school to do his homework on one of the little tables. What makes "Master Harold . . . and the Boys" a powerful work of art rather than a True Confessions piece of theatrical reportage is how well it captures the indirection by which one action influences another without seeming to, and how skillfully Fugard plants the small detail that doesn't, at first, seem to belong to a pattern. Only in retrospect are things clear, he seems to say, if they're ever clear at all. And then it's too late.
"Master Harold . . . and the Boys" runs without an intermission, and the first half--by design--is as dilatory as the second is enthralling. That's the way it often happens when people do something emotionally catastrophic. The occasion can be ordinary.
In this case, Hally's mother phones from the hospital--after Hally, Sam and Willie have been passing a jocular afternoon--to say that his invalid father is coming home. Hally is reminded of overflowing bedpans, of another unwelcome intrusion into his free rein and adolescent haplessness, and of shame. Honor your father, Sam tells him; you hate him because you love him. Hally turns on Sam with the quickest weapon an impotent white boy has to use against a black man here--apartheid's social presumption: Who are you to tell me?
F. Scott Fitzgerald has a line about how it's not given to us to know just when it is that the word comes that wounds or heals irrevocably. In "Master Harold . . . and the Boys" we do know when the word comes. And when it does, the battle line is drawn, the faces of two people who love each other harden and the fight steps outside, where it can never be recalled.
"Master Harold" shares with Fugard's other works and the best of South African literature an unusually clear sense of the moral imperative--perhaps that's the byproduct of living in a country where every action is reflected on for its potential for being monitored and punished. Sam is proud, and driven to anger, but he knows that Hally is upset. Still, there's a limit. In the name of your manhood, he tells Hally, don't cross it. An American playwright would be hard-pressed to use the word "manhood" without being ironic, anachronistic or sexist. But here we know what Sam means: If you're not responsible, you're lost.
There are any number of compelling touches in this play and production. How often in life, and how rarely in the theater, will someone back off after a fight to try and make amends, as Sam does here? And when Willie takes out that coin to play Sarah Vaughan on the jukebox, the gesture indicates how truly awful that fight has been (it's his bus money); the respite is thrilling, like a blast of cool air into a suffocatingly hot room.
(This is not, strictly speaking, a South African play, aside from its particulars--the shadow of apartheid here is not terribly different from the shadow of racism elsewhere. It's about an abuse of power which could so easily happen here that, listening to the music, you think, "Small world, isn't it?")
Your reviewer found Sydney Hibbert's Sam a touch self-assured, even righteous for someone who senses the tragic implications of what's transpiring. This turns out to be a director's choice, as Martin Benson wants to show us how Sam has used Hally's books to wiser ends than Hally. Hibbert is an otherwise forceful, compelling figure, especially when we see his generous mouth trembling in wordless rage at Hally's goading, and the thoughtfulness with which he tries to resist. | <urn:uuid:0ab9311b-e195-4f07-9180-bb7c6fd43501> | CC-MAIN-2017-13 | http://articles.latimes.com/1985-05-25/entertainment/ca-15632_1_master-harold | 2017-03-30T13:05:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-13/segments/1490218194600.27/warc/CC-MAIN-20170322212954-00171-ip-10-233-31-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.970229 | 1,103 |
In the long legal fight over Sam Zell's dubious use of employee funds to acquire control of Tribune, the good guys have won, more or less. A federal judge in Chicago gave final approval today to a $32 million settlement that will put some money back in the retirement accounts of Tribune employees, present and past.
In 2008, Pulitzer Prize-winning auto columnist Dan Neil and some colleagues in the Los Angeles Times newsroom (as well as in the great LAT scattering that has occurred under Tribune and Zell) took a courageous step and sued the keeper of their paychecks. At issue was the hinky financing that leveraged their employee stock accounts to allow Zell to get control of the company. From the class-action announcement back then:
The lawsuit contends that, since the inception of the deal, it appears that Zell and his accessories have planned to enrich themselves, tax-free, by perverting laws passed by Congress intended to benefit rank and file American workers.
The Chicago judge approved the settlement tentatively reached last October. The roster of plaintiffs and the respondents have evolved through the years.Tribune, for instance, is no longer on the suit, though the company will apparently be chipping in some of the settlement. Of the journalists who sued, Neil and reporter Eric Bailey — who both left the Times during the suit's slow progress — remain on the case. Here is Neil's farewell email when he left for the Wall Street Journal in 2010.
From Bloomberg BusinessWeek today:
Tribune Co., the bankrupt Chicago- based newspaper publisher, is contributing $4.45 million to the $32 million settlement of an employee retirement-fund lawsuit that it’s no longer a party to.
U.S. District Judge Rebecca Pallmeyer today granted final approval to the settlement at a hearing in federal court in Chicago. The media company was dropped from the case after it filed for bankruptcy protection in December 2008.
The balance of the settlement money will come from Greatbanc Trust Co. of Lisle, Illinois, which was trustee and fiduciary of the retirement plan, and from Greatbanc’s and Tribune’s insurers, plaintiffs’ lawyer Daniel Feinberg said.
No objections were lodged against the proposed settlement, Feinberg told the judge today. | <urn:uuid:43fed1ed-b807-410d-9d23-0675016f7e95> | CC-MAIN-2017-13 | http://www.laobserved.com/archive/2012/01/times_employees_suit_offi.php | 2017-03-27T10:40:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-13/segments/1490218189471.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20170322212949-00157-ip-10-233-31-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.96497 | 467 |
Budget uni cuts a 'dopey' strategy
Taxing times Cutting university funding to pay for school reform could ultimately backfire on the quality of school teaching, suggest commentators.
They also say the hit to science and technology from the cuts are a 'national tragedy'.
The comments come in the wake of last night's Australian federal budget, which formalised previously announced cuts to universities, including $2.8 billion to pay for school education reforms recommended by the Gonski review.
"The issue is that the funding rate per student is not being maintained," says Michael Gallagher, executive director of the Group of Eight (Go8), a coalition of leading Australian universities
"Universities will now have to look at how they can cut their delivery costs without eroding quality," he adds. "I think some of them are up against the wall where they're finding they're really going to have to make some quality trade-offs and that's what is worrying people."
About $900 million in government savings will come from a 2 per cent efficiency dividend imposed on universities from January next year.
But according to Gallagher, the logic in the strategy is flawed.
"There's something wrong with the whole logic of this efficiency dividend to fund Gonski when its effect in terms of university behavioural responses will undermine quality teacher preparation," he says
Under the current system, governments fund universities on the basis of how many students they enrol.
"If a university wanted to enrol more students to compensate for the efficiency dividend, there's nothing to stop them doing that," he says.
Gallagher says universities have been growing their enrolments and in the past three years, have enrolled 146,000 students across Australia.
"If they continue to grow their enrolment by half of the rate they've grown it in the previous three years there would be no savings to the government from the efficiency dividend for Gonski," says Gallagher. "It's dopey."
He says the quality of teacher education could fall because of this growth in enrolments.
"There's a limit to the number of quality students there are that can cope with a university course," says Gallagher.
He says while the elite universities would attract the top students, the less-prestigious universities could lower their standards and take students with low scores to reach target numbers.
"Many of [these students] will be in teacher education programs and if they end up in schools then you've undone Gonski because you're putting poor-quality people into the teacher workforce."
Science bodies meanwhile describe the cuts to universities as a "terrible initiative".
"There are $3.8 billion worth of cuts to universities. That's not that far from being 10 per cent of total government savings in this budget. That's an enormous hit on higher education and on science and technology in Australia," says Science & Technology Australia CEO Catriona Jackson.
"From a government that has built a genuine legacy with, not that many years ago, a 25 per cent increase in funding for science and technology, it is a tragedy, a national tragedy, to see it eroded so quickly."
She says overall the budget was disappointing for science and technology.
"There were a few crumbs to relieve some people in the sector but really there's very little in terms of long- or medium-term vision for the future," says Jackson.
She says using savings from universities to fund school reforms is "counterproductive" and "silly".
"It does seem very strange to take from one end of the system and put it in the other end of the system," says Jackson. "What do the kids do when they come to the end of their schooling?"
Like the university sector, science bodies are grateful for a $135 million one-year extension to the ARC Future Fellowships and a $185 million two-year extension to pay for major research facilities like the synchrotron.
But, says Jackson, there should be much longer-term funding for such things.
"One would hope that some more intelligent long-term thinking takes place in whatever party is in government next budget time and funding to higher education is restored," she says.
The Academy of Science agrees there should be long-term strategic investment to underpin research given Australia is in a relatively good economic position compared with many other countries.
"Countries like the United States, the United Kingdom and indeed our neighbours in India and China are investing much more in science education and science research than we are," says Professor Bob Williamson from the Academy.
Time for schools to shine
Those who are most likely to benefit from the cuts to universities had a slightly different take on things.
Former Dean of Education at the University of Canberra and architect of the national science curriculum, Emeritus Professor Denis Goodrum, says while Gonski is not a "done deal", he welcomes the fact the government has emphasised education as important.
He is pleased with the maintenance of funding for targeted science education and says improving school science education will help boost the number of students studying science at university.
Goodrum says funding school and university education is not an "either or type situation" but a matter of timing.
"At various periods of time in a country's growth you do have the spotlight focussed on a particular area and I think it's appropriate at this point in time that school education should have this focus," he says,
Dr Stephen Zander, president of the Australian Science Teachers Association agrees.
"I don't like the fact that you rob Peter to pay Paul," he says. "But universities may get extra funding when the economy picks up."
Other budget measures for science and technology include:
- $84.6 million over four years to support additional postgraduate and diploma places
- $12 million for CSIRO to trial the new research vessel the RV Investigator
- $8 million to cover costs at ANSTO's OPAL nuclear reactor, and
- $30.9 million over four years to boost marine research at AIMS | <urn:uuid:ab9214ff-b9b0-40c8-8a8a-640e6c8dcfa7> | CC-MAIN-2015-48 | http://www.abc.net.au/science/articles/2013/05/15/3759944.htm | 2015-11-25T02:38:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-48/segments/1448398444139.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20151124205404-00272-ip-10-71-132-137.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.970918 | 1,240 |

So I finally broke down and took a few photos. I was mostly hesitating because I don't really have the right set up to take some decent photos. But I figured I'd try and show people what it looks like. So here they are:
Unfortunately I didn't have the time to finish everything how I wanted and of course now that I am back in Canada I don't have the tools/workshop to do what I need. So it's not quite working how it's supposed to but the basic time function works just fine.
As always all comments and opinions welcome. Would love to know what people think of the design and finish. I'm also wondering if there are any people interested in buying something like this and if so, what would you think it's worth? Anyways, let me know and I'll try to respond to any questions. | <urn:uuid:1d01d52f-4cc1-4bc3-b92a-a5a147a8f237> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://nowyouknowiknowthatyouknow.blogspot.com/ | 2013-06-20T09:57:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368711240143/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516133400-00030-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.98996 | 188 |

Where Will Guests Sleep At The Tiny Summer Cottage?
Cabela's Blend Wall Tent Image credit:Cabellas.
Over the years, Lloyd especially but also Roberta and others have posted stories about lovely summer cottages: typically shown nestled in the woods or by a lake. Although enticing, some are so small they remind me of the Amish-made lawn tractor sheds common among suburban homeowners of Eastern Pennsylvania. (I have such a shed with unfinished interior and three windows: 12' X 16' - $1,400 delivered.) Nice vacation starting point for a couple or a family of three in the woods but after that you are pretty limited and if no hot shower is available and there are lots of people you'll have to pretend you are at a reunion in rural France.A recent example of the small cottage post is CasaSugar Tours a Tiny Summer Cottage in Finland. Like many others seeing the small getaway cottage pictured, my first thought is generally: 'Wouldn't that be nice? But what would you do with a large number of guests?" How will you give people their space?
The answer is, you need an outfitter-style wall tent (as pictured) that can be stored on-site or brought in as needed. This assumes the actual cottage can handle the cooking and toilet demands of a big group.
Other guest considerations.
If the indoor composting toilet is an issue, I suggest adding an outhouse with a modest lower volume, so guests will not overstay their welcome.
Outfitters like Cabellas also sell LP gas fired tent showers and for you deep greenies, solar showers, as shown below.
Wall tent options.
Cabellas, for example, sells wall tents in a variety of models and sizes. The model pictured, which has a center height of 9 feet, can host a tent stove if needed, and can be ordered with floor sizes ranging from 10' x 12' x 6' to:
- 12' x 14' x 5' or
- 12' x 17' x 5' or
- 14' x 17' x 5' or
- 16' x 20' x 5'
Cost varies between roughly $800 and $1,200, and weight between 37 and 65 pounds.
- No zoning permission or permits needed for a tent.
- Other cabin-type or wall-tent suppliers can be found, many in the US West, to cater to hunters. Some models are bigger and fancier
- Possible to set one of these up on a deck, and make it contiguous with the cottage. | <urn:uuid:ecb33136-cbfd-4154-bdf3-40300f9427aa> | CC-MAIN-2014-52 | http://www.treehugger.com/sustainable-product-design/where-will-guests-sleep-at-the-tiny-summer-cottage.html | 2014-12-29T03:46:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-52/segments/1419447561183.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20141224185921-00067-ip-10-231-17-201.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.939657 | 541 |

Asian Champions League get excited about Furuhashi to Celtic; post class footage
The news of a Kyogo Furuhashi move to Celtic is making waves in Scotland and Japan today.
It was an unexpected, but delightful, bit of transfer business confirmed by the club earlier.
Primarily it demonstrates that Celtic are indeed backing Ange Postecoglou in a big way. This is his signing, likely made possible by his presence.
Behind that though, we can also get excited about Furuhashi as a player.
He looks quite the attacking threat. If he settles in Scotland he has every chance of being a success here.
Considered one of the brightest talents emerging from the J1-League, there will be real intrigue about how he fares in Europe.

Like the arrival of Postecoglou, it’s a big deal for Asian football as a whole. That’s demonstrated well by the Asian Champions League getting excited about the move on their social media accounts this morning.
The official AFC Champions League Twitter account posted footage of him in action in the competition.
The left-winger scored three goals and created an assist in seven games during the 2020 edition of the tournament, helping Vissel Kobe reach the semi-finals. They lost at that stage to eventual winners, Ulsan Hyundai of South Korea.
The brief clip shows off his finishing ability, awareness, position and skill at the highest level of Asian football.
Most Celtic fans will know little about Furuhashi, but the experts reckon this is a fantastic signing. We spoke to Dan Orlowitz of The Japan Times earlier and he was full of praise for the 26-year-old.
Already performing well in the J1-League this season, we can only hope he hits the ground running at Celtic this summer. Big games are just around the corner. | <urn:uuid:63327b00-4ca6-4055-a2cb-dbe27e523897> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | https://www.67hailhail.com/transfers/asian-champions-league-get-excited-about-furuhashi-to-celtic-post-class-footage/ | 2021-09-22T02:03:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780057303.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20210922011746-20210922041746-00204.warc.gz | en | 0.955242 | 404 |
The Pros and Cons of Credit Cards
Making a purchase with a credit card can be exhilarating and rewarding one moment and regrettable and binding the next. For many, the joy of that tiny square of plastic monetary freedom becomes a ball-and-chain of debt faster than you can say “discount sale at Sears.” Yet others maintain a responsible, reliable account that provides a rewarding experience.
To own or not to own—that is the credit card question. While credit card debt plagues millions of Americans, just as many thrive on the flexibility and ease of paying with credit. Obviously, the magic of the little plastic card is not right for everyone. Take a look at the following pros and cons for credit cards to decide whether or not you should make the swipe.
Credit Card Pros
Credit cards wouldn’t be nearly as popular as they are today if they weren’t so maddeningly convenient. Paying at the store, at the pump, or at the ballgame is significantly easier with a piece of plastic that takes no immediate bite out of one’s pocketbook.
The fact that most major stores (and most minor ones) accept Visa, MasterCard, and Co. only adds to the handiness of carrying around a credit card. Lunch tabs and Lamborghini rentals could both be taken care of by a simple swipe. You name it, and a credit card can purchase it.
Everyone has one. That reason was good enough to spark digi-pets, and it is good enough for credit card applications, too. Watching your friends pay for meals with their American Expresses makes you feel pretty worthless when you break out your US Bank debit card to foot the bill for your soup and salad special.
Owning your very own piece of plastic provides a sense of belonging, serving as a platinum membership card into the world of commerce and retail. For college kids, owning one is a step towards adulthood. For adults, having one makes you feel like a true American. Either way, the pressure to fit in has a big say in whether or not you make the plunge.
One of the greatest parts to credit cards (other than the personalized pictures; hello spring break ’06!) is reaping the rewards for your spending habits. You worked long and hard to find the last copy of Pirates of the Caribbean in that Circuit City bargain bin, and you deserve every purchase point you get from paying on credit.
Depending on your card, the rewards can vary, but the good news is that there is such a wide variety of options that you are bound to be able to find the right card to fit your lifestyle. There are cards that offer plane tickets, sports merchandise, and good old-fashioned cash. Others build up a stockpile of points for cardholders to use to get whatever their hearts desire. Ironically, points may be used to achieve Pirates of the Caribbean DVDs.
Spending has its benefits (new jeans, perhaps), but spending with credit has benefits that go beyond mere denim. Using a credit card—and using it responsibly—can help build one’s credit score, which could mean a better shot at a loan or a better mortgage down the road.
The key part to using a credit card to build credit is keeping up with payments. Having a credit card does no good if you fall behind on payments or rack up an unconscionable amount of debt. Acting responsibly on your account, however, will help you build a credit score that reflects dependability and accountability.
Credit Card Cons
By far, the most dangerous part of credit cards is not paying them off on time, and for many, this problem is a constant temptation despite its obvious negative consequences.
Once you fall behind by one payment, the climb back to a debt-free account becomes harder and harder. Late fees, interest, and penalties build faster than you would believe, and you may find yourself making monthly payments that only cover your charges and don’t even touch your principal purchases.
Often as a result of late payments, many people find themselves sunk in credit card debt with no way out. Credit card companies are great at getting customers in the door, but once you fall behind with payments, the companies make it nearly impossible for you to climb your way out. Between fees and charges and piling interest, the matter seems to continually get worse, not better.
If you cannot keep up with credit card payments, then owning a credit card is probably not for you. The disadvantages to not paying on time are innumerable, and the odds of staying debt-free are not in your favor.
Many times, credit card companies will say or do whatever it takes to get you to sign your name on their application. Of course, once that ink has dried, they’ll suddenly remember to tell you about start-up fees and processing fees that you never saw coming.
Annual fees are a big one, too. That credit card that earns you frequent flyer miles every time you buy might seem like a good idea, but for $100 a year, the right to own it may be too much.
Always check the fine print of a contract before you sign and ask if there are any extra fees. The free t-shirt just for signing up might be nice (and long-sleeved!), but the $50 paperwork fee isn’t.
One of the most overlooked negative aspects to credit cards is the ease with which cardholders overspend. Really, the psychology behind this is simple. You purchase items without ever exchanging actual money, so you hardly feel like you’re paying anything at all.
But the joke is on you. Not only do you have to pay for everything at the end of the month, you may end up paying for far more than you ever intended. Without fail, people look at their month-end statements and are blown away at how much the charges totaled, yet when they are out there making their purchases, they think nothing of it.
If you have trouble staying focused on necessities when you’re out shopping, a credit card might mean the difference between purchasing the Gucci bag you don’t need or leaving it on the shelf.
