Cody Mckibben of ThrillingHeroics.com and I have recently published a free ebook with 42 articles by digital nomads describing how their travel lifestyles have impacted them. Most of the contributors will likely agree that embarking on a location independent business was one of most difficult, yet rewarding decisions they’ve ever made.

Why I’m a Digital Nomad
Giving up my house, business and most of my possessions in Japan was a transformative experience. It has given me the freedom to do what I want, where I want. While I believe that excessive travel is highly destructive to the planet, I also feel that living in foreign countries can be immensely personally rewarding. I highly encourage everyone to move abroad. It will help question all of your cultural assumptions and expose you to a world that most people can’t even imagine.
Despite the fact that international governments are still years away from accommodating the rise of location independent entrepreneurs, this clearly is a mass movement that is only going to grow in the future. There are only a handful of forward thinking nations such as Germany, Vietnam, Thailand, Costa Rica, etc., that have visa rules that make it somewhat easy for travelling entrepreneurs to spend a reasonable amount of time in the country. Most nations are still extremely suspicious of long term travellers entering their borders. I’m sure this view of the world will take many years to change, but it definitely needs to adjust to the changing nature of work.
Why We Need More Digital Nomads
I chose the word “imperative” in the title, because I feel that we need more digital nomads in the world. There are the obvious economic benefits of working and living in a country with costs that can be a quarter of home. Living nomadically is an automatic constraint that keeps you from buying useless physical goods. If it doesn’t fit in your suitcase, you can’t take it with you. This is good for the wallet, but the real benefit is that it frees up so much of your time and thinking. It’s amazing how much time and energy is devoted to acquiring and maintaining stuff.
Also, the opportunity to hire talented and hardworking overseas staff at a fraction of the rate of western workers is just too compelling.
While costs are certainly important, there are bigger reasons to encourage location independent entrepreneurship. Increased global understanding through living and working in foreign countries, plus the deeper connections of international marriages, dating and friendships are bringing the entire planet closer together.
Reading about a country in the news takes on a completely different meaning when you have lived there and built friendships with locals. It’s very difficult to go to war with a country when you feel deep kinship and appreciation.
12 million children die of preventable diseases every year and there are tens of millions of permanent refugees without homes, food and work opportunities. On a planet of seven billion people, two billion still live on less than $2 per day. We could solve all of those problems with a minimum of sacrifice if the developed world were slightly more generous. For example, about 10% of the alcohol consumption in the US would be enough to provide clean drinking water for the billion without.
We need more digital nomads to increase international understanding of what life is really like around the planet. The cheap clothes we wear, the inexpensive food we eat and the gas-guzzling SUVs we drive have costs that are borne far from our oversized suburban houses and generic strip malls. The United States and Canada are only 5% of the world’s population, yet we consume 30% of the world’s resources and create about 30% of its trash and pollution. That’s not going to change unless we change. Living abroad is an essential component to that global awakening. The ebook offers some great insights into the lives of 42 digital nomads. I hope you enjoy it. | <urn:uuid:687cc6f4-09db-496a-872d-aab6562aef3b> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://jetsetcitizen.com/digital-nomad-imperative/ | 2022-10-04T06:34:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337480.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20221004054641-20221004084641-00739.warc.gz | en | 0.955308 | 804 |
“You know Leah, it appears these ‘academic’ cookbooks are not so rigorous as our faithful Canadian Living test kitchen.”
Words from my mother, who is saying them so I don’t have to. The number of times I raised my eyebrows, askance that something was left unclarified -or GASP, forgotten entirely – were too numerous for me to reasonably believe that any of the recipes that we created were tested as rigorously as modern kitchens have come to expect. While I may rejoice in the almost encyclopedic collection of Elizabethan recipes this cookbook provides, it does not make up for sloppy recipe adaptation or composition.
A Fine Paste
Being the inaugural CookBook review, I couldn’t resist adding tidbits of commentary on how I created the rubric for cookbook reviews. (You know how much I like to deliberate…and contemplate… and critique my own standards of quality…and question the very fabric of the universe…) To illustrate my finished format, I will review a familiar book on this site.
Morton, Mark Steven, and Andrew Coppolino. Cooking with Shakespeare. Westport, CT: Greenwood, 2008. Print. Feasting with Fiction.
It’s fairly simple. For each section I give a star rating. Loosely, the number of stars can be broken down as follows:
- The content is negative or harmful to the field or to the publics using the material
- Necessary content is absent entirely
- It’s okay, but somewhat insufficient or inadequate
- Pretty good, has what I need and expect
- GLOWING – does exactly what I need, and gives me things I didn’t know I wanted!
The final letter grade is determined by the total count of stars. This means that roughly, if the average score per section is 3 stars, the final grade would be a C. (And 4 stars are a B, the -likely very rare- 5 stars are an A.)
I would love to hear thoughts on this marking scheme, and am happy to share my long-form rubric for anyone who is curious or wants to offer advice.
Primary Source Recipes: ★ ★ ★ ★ ☆
I had to think long and hard on this category. My purposes are so specific, that it would be unfair to mark cookbooks for what they were not trying to do. It is difficult to restrain myself from judging a scramble like an omelette – they may be made from the same thing, but have two different purposes and methods of preparation. Just because a book includes historic recipes, doesn’t mean it was intended for my purposes, and I need to be careful not to negatively judge books for not meeting my (admittedly exacting) standards when that is something they never aspired to. Historically “inspired” recipes are all very fine and well, if all they aim to do is make a delicious recipe. It is when overly anachronistic recipes claim authenticity beyond their means that miseducative experiences occur.
In this instance, Cooking with Shakespeare does exactly what I am looking for: it exposes us to a delightful plentitude of interesting primary recipes, and connects them thoughtfully to a variety of Shakespearean excerpts and historical factoids. Said recipes are transcribed in detail, and includes full bibliographic information (Be still, my heart. I can rant at length about the number of ‘historic’ recipes that conveniently don’t cite their primary resource.) The authors showed impressive knowledge of which foods were common in Shakespeare’s time, and which foods are incorrectly attributed to Elizabethan England (e.g. various lobster dishes, which first materialized in England much later).
The recipes are drawn from twenty two cookbooks, published in London between 1545 and 1627. They are faithfully transcribed to keep the highly entertaining verbal descriptions and dramatizations, modernizing the spelling slightly for better readability. For example, the uses of “u” and “v” were not designated by their sound, but their placement in a word. “V” was always used at the beginning of a word, while “u” was used everywhere else. The example they give turns the modern “my uncle loves sour vinegar” into “my vncle loues sour vinegar” – definitely takes a bit longer for the modern reader!
Modern Adaptations: ★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆
Well. Yes. Rewriting the recipes into modern english and substituting new technology into the appropriate place is not sufficient when creating modern adaptations. I fully believe the authors prepared these recipes at least once for their own consumption. But they have failed to properly test their written recipes. Well written contemporary recipes are usually quite explicit, clarifying every necessary detail and step.
The modern adaptations found in this book consistently provided problems in the kitchen. For almost every recipe I prepared, I was forced to re-examine the original recipe to figure out how I should actually proceed. The Mynst Pie recipe did not clarify when to combine the apple mixture with the meat. (I argue it also should have told me quite firmly, maybe in huge capital letters, on pain of death, NOT to use a modern pastry, but whatever. I’m over it.) In the Buttered Beere recipe, we are instructed to add the butter in two different places, but the modern recipe gives one amount of butter and never says how to divide it, nor does it give a second amount of butter. The Warden pie recipe does not say to peel the pears, which creates a huge difference in the texture of the filing. These might seem like small things on paper, but are actually quite crucial to the exacting standards we have for modern recipes.
The authors redeem themselves in two areas. The “makeability” ratings are quite useful, as are the appendices assisting modern cooks on how to source or substitute ingredients. (ALWAYS useful information.)
Quality of Tone & Writing: ★ ★ ★ ★ ☆
The interpretive text was interesting, easy to understand, and showed a rich historical knowledge from the authors as they identify and analyse diverse clues from both Shakespearean and gastronomic texts.
Quality of Interpretive Content: ★ ★ ★ ★ ☆
Does it follow the theme of cooking with Shakespeare? Yes, but less in the way a drama major would enjoy, and more in the way a Renaissance Historian or Literature Specialist would appreciate. The Shakespearean excerpts occasionally probe dramatic motifs and themes, or comment upon the setting or plot development. I found the excerpts mentioning food more often are used to comment upon the daily life of Shakespeare himself, rather than his characters. And for me, that’s just perfect.
An entire section of the introduction explores how Shakespeare uses food and drink as literary devices to set a scene, ascribe qualities to characters, or create establish (and deconstruct) settings of harmonious social relations. Succeeding sections of the very informative (and lengthy) first chapter explore food & ideology, dietary theory, food & drink laws, food in the marketplaces, social practices, culinary knowledge and tradition, table etiquette, consumption norms, as well as recipe book composition, use, and publication. Their knowledge reveals new depths to popular Shakespearean metaphors and insults that reference food – “you’re such a dish of skim’d milk” you coward!
While not every recipe includes interpretive text, most have a few sentences delving into further detail on one of the above topics. Sometimes the interpretive material or Shakespearean excerpt is only loosely connected to the recipe, and provides little actual insight into the food. Aside from these instances, the interpretive text was usually relevant and enlightening on the recipe’s context, and given with a wealth of quantity that is much greater than many other recipe books of this type.
This book is interesting, easy to read, and provides more interpretive text and choice of recipes than I usually find. The primary source recipes, while helpfully cited and transcribed, are not adapted as skillfully into modern versions. They leave out key instructions and showing a failure to properly test the modern recipes. I had to rewrite many of the adaptations when transitioning them into this blog. Overall, I enjoyed using this book, and the wealth of interpretive material taught me much about Elizabethan cooking.
All this being said, I have immensely enjoyed working with this book! I have not only made a number of recipes, but also used the posts based off this book in a recent academic conference presentation. If you want to enjoy your own Elizabethan Feast, there are a huge wealth of resources online. Or try your hand at any of the recipes on this site! Here’s a few more:
“To Make Buttered Beere”
The Good Huswifes Handmaide for the Kitchin, 1594
Take three pintes of Beere, put five yolkes of Egges in to it, straine them together, and set it in a pewter pot to the fyre, and put to it halfe a pound of Sugar, one penniworth of Nutmegs beaten, one penniworth of Cloves beaten, and a halfepenniworth of Ginger beaten, and when it is all in, take another pewter pot and brewe them together, and set it to the fire againe, and when it is readie to boyle, take it from the fire, and put a dish of sweet butter into it, and brewe them together out of one pot into an other.
6 cups beer
5 egg yolks
1 cup sugar
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1 dash minced ginger
1/4 cup unsalted butter
Whisk the egg yolks, combine with the beer, and force through a fine-meshed sieve into a large saucepan. On medium-high heat, add the sugar, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, and butter and bring to a boil. Just as it boils, put in the butter (< note conflicting mention of when to add the butter) and pour the mixture into another pot. Bring it to a boil and pour it back into the original pot. Perform the transfer a few times.
“A Warden Pie”
The English Huswife, 1623
To absolve myself of the mistake of not making proper pastry last time (the infamous mynst pie, swimming in its own fat soaked pastry), I decided to try a pie once again!
Take of the fairest and best Wardens, and pare them, and take out the hard cores on the top, and cut the sharp ends at the bottome flat; then boyle them in White-wine and suger, untill the sirrup frow thicke: then take the Wardens from the sirrup into a cleane dish, & let them cool; then set them into the coffin, and prick cloves in the tops, with whole sitcks of cinnamon, and great store of suger as for Pippins; then cover it, and onely reserve a vent-hole, so set it in the oven and bake it: when it is bak’d, draw it forth, and take the first sirrup in which the Wardens were boyld, and taste it, and if it not be sweet enough, then put in more sugar, and some rosewater, & boyle it again a little, then powre it in at the vent-hole, and shake the pie well; then take sweet Butter, and rose-water melted, and with it anoynt the pye-lid all over, and then strow on it store of Sugar, and so set it into the oven again a little space, and then serve it up And in this manner you may also bake Quinces.
4 large, firm Bartlet pears, pealed and cut into quarters
2 cups white wine
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup whole cloves, as needed
2 cinnamon sticks
1/4 cup sugar
For pastry use: “a fine paste”, below
3 tbs unsalted butter
1 tbs rosewater
2 tbs sugar
Prepare the pastry shel and top. Preheat the oven to 350F. Boil the peeled and quartered pears in the wine and sugar until they soften slightly and the liquid thickens. Remove the pears to a dish and allow them to cool. Insert two cloves into each pear quarter and arrange in the pastry shell. Add the cinnamon sticks. Cover the pie with pastry, cutting a 1-inch diameter hole in the centre. Bake for 30 minutes.
In the meantime, heat the wine and sugar mixture and test for sweetness. Add more sugar if desired. Melt the butter, add the rosewater, keep warm.
After the pie has baked for 30 minutes, remove and pour a few tablespoons of the liquid into the pie through the vent hole. Rock the pie back and forth gently to distribute the liquid. Brush the top crust with the butter and rosewater and sprinkle it with sugar. Bake for the remaining 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Delicious, but the utility of eating this pie is vastly different from our familiar pies. Today, they are eaten much like cakes, a fork will slice through creamy filling and pastry alike, and you consume both in one mouthful. Given the disparate textures of the pieces in this pie, the runny liquid, the somewhat blocky pears, the protruding whole sticks of cinnamon, and finally the cardboard-esque pastry, so to is the practice and ability to eat this food very different.
“To make a fine paste”
Take faire flower and wheate, and the yolkes of egges with sweet Butter, melted, mixing all these together with your hands, til it be brought dowe paste, and then make your coffins whether it be for pyes or tartes, then you may put Saffron and suger if you wil have it a sweet paste, having respect to the true seasoning some use to put to their paste Beefe or Mutton broth, and some creame.
2 cups all purpose flour
2 egg yolks
½ cup unsalted butter
¼ cup ice water as needed
Pour the flour onto a clean, cool work surface. Create a well in the centre, and place the butter and eggs. Work the flour into a dough with your hands. Add ice water as needed while bringing it together. (At first it will be crumbly.)
For sweet pastry, add saffron and a couple tablespoons of sugar.
Flatten into a disk, 6 inches in diameter and 1.5 inches thick. Wrap in plastic and chill.
In the original post I talked about the function of Elizabethan pastry as “container”, and not something to be eaten on the same forkful as the inside, like we do with today’s pies. The pastry was incredibly tough, while the inner pie was quite runny. Once we consumed the spiced pears, we broke off the pastry bits and ate them like cookies. | <urn:uuid:1a0f7b5c-49a1-4acf-9c42-1ab148a14310> | CC-MAIN-2018-30 | https://leahmoncada.wordpress.com/2016/05/23/cookbook-review-cooking-with-shakespeare/ | 2018-07-18T12:27:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-30/segments/1531676590169.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20180718115544-20180718135544-00226.warc.gz | en | 0.943039 | 3,168 |

Synopsis for "Chapter Two: Tuesday"
Catwoman escapes from Don Verinni's estate pursued by dogs, upset that her best lead has been killed and worried that the Joker's involved and Batman will turn up. She returns to the hotel, to find her bags have turned up and The Riddler is playing dress-up in her costume. Selina throws him out, and goes to bed.
Dreaming, Selina sees Batman standing over her, about to shoot her. She jumps up, knocks him back, and wakes to find she's assaulted by an unarmed Christopher "The Blonde" Castillo. She lets him up, and he asks her about Catwoman. Before she can answer, Eddie bursts in to tell them that the hotel's on fire. They jump out of the window into the pool.
Blondie takes them to a boat of his, saying that he believes it is Verinni's son, Guillermo Verinni, trying to kill them in revenge. While there, Eddie says that he's had no luck finding out about the Joker's movements. Selina says that it's unlikely someone else used the Joker poison, as no-one even believes in Batman. She speculates that it would be easier if they knew who the Joker was before he became the Joker. Eddie says that it's Gotham's second best riddle, and the best is "who is Batman behind the mask?" Verinni arrives with several henchmen and attack. Selina changes into her Catwoman costume, and helps Blondie fight them off. Verinni unveils Mister Freeze's Cold Gun, and traps Catwoman in ice.

Pau Gasol talked to assembled media members at the Toyota Center in advance of L.A.’s game vs. Houston on Thursday night. Gasol discussed Dwight Howard’s free agency decision, summarized L.A.’s 2012-13 season and the state of the Lakers offensively and defensively through five games. Below is a transcript:
Q: On if he was surprised or disappointed about Dwight Howard’s decision:
Gasol: I was kind of open to everything and anything, just like any other time. He made his decision and he thought that was the best choice for him. I respect him for it, and that’s it.
Q: On if he expects the atmosphere to be crazier in L.A. when they face Houston:
Gasol: I’m sure, I’m sure. I’m pretty positive it will be a little different on our court than here (in Houston). We have to worry about our situation and what we’re dealing with now and we have to play better on the road. Houston is playing really well, especially here at home. It’s going to be a tough game for us, so we have to be able to challenge them and play a good game for 48 minutes, and not have the breakdowns that we’ve been having, especially on the road, where we haven’t been successful.
Q: On if he feels everything that could go wrong did go wrong last season for the team:
Gasol: A lot of things went wrong last year, for sure. A lot of adversity and nothing really clicked. It was a tough year for everyone, not for one individual. Pretty much for the entire team, it was a tough year to go through. You have to understand in the NBA you have those types of years, and those years are the ones that make you grow and you can use those years to build on and to work even harder to achieve later success.
Q: On if anybody knew to an extent about where Howard’s body was really at last year coming off back surgery:
Gasol: Kind of hard to say, right? I can’t speak for a person’s body, how he’s feeling and what he’s going through. We knew he wasn’t 100 percent, that’s what he talked about and that’s what he shared. Then he had the shoulder issue as well, but we all had issues.
Q: On if it’s hard to reconcile that Howard did not see his future in L.A.:
Gasol: No, like I said, it was his first time being in a free agent position. He had the freedom to pick his future, and he picked it. It wasn’t with the Lakers. It was with the Rockets, so good luck and that’s it.
Q: On what he feels the future of the Lakers is:
Gasol: There’s a lot of question marks. We’re just trying to focus on our season and on our next game. It’s hard to say what’s going to happen next year, who’s going to be here and who’s not. We’re going to try and focus on what we can control, which is working hard every day to get better and have a better season.
Q: On the keys to going after Howard defensively:
Gasol: You have to be able to move him around. You can’t really overpower him, so you have to keep in constant movement and make him uncomfortable, get him out of position, get him to be late to rotate and things like that. That’s what you have to do to be successful against him.
Q: On his view about the dynamic between Kobe Bryant and Howard last year:
Gasol: There was definitely a lack of understanding and connection. I don’t know how much tension there was, but there were days it was fine and everybody was on the same page, and when things get a little rough, usually that’s when the tension came up. Like I said it was a rough year and a lot of things didn’t go our way, and that made it much more difficult.
Q: On if he follows the Rockets and what Howard does:
Gasol: I follow almost every team in the league, so I’m on top of what every player does, especially at my position. I follow the top players and I just follow the NBA. I follow what teams do, what players do and who’s doing well and who’s not.
Q: On if there was any period last year where the Lakers had fun playing:
Gasol: The last stretch was a little fun. That’s when we made that run to get into the playoffs. I think that was fun. The team competed, we were fighting to get in and that was fun. I think we had a couple games in there that we all kind of enjoyed playing together without too many issues, but for the most part, that wasn’t the case.
Q: On what he wants to see individually and from the team in pick-and-roll situations:
Gasol: Sometimes we get too stagnant and we don’t create advantages. We have to create motion out of the pick and rolls, so that’s what we’re going to try and do more of from now on. Keep our guys moving, (make) the defense move and for guys to be open from those actions. If we’re going to continue to run it, we have to do it more effectively. Hopefully when I roll, it’ll get me closer to the basket, too, and the ball might get there often, so that’s kind of the plan.
Q: On when he chooses to pop or roll on offense, or whether it’s based off reads:
Gasol: I’m going to try and read the defense, but most of the time, I’m going to try and get myself closer to the basket. Otherwise we get too stagnant at times and we’re not creating anything. Our guards are not too fast, so we have to create advantages other ways.
Q: On coming to Houston last season in early January and if it was a low point with all three big men (himself, Howard and Hill) injured:
Gasol: It was a tough winter. I think we played San Antonio, Houston and then New Orleans – a similar trip to this one. Injuries just came together that way and we were super short handed. It was not easy for us and not ideal for us. It was the kind of year that it was. Sometimes it goes that way. It’s not going to be sunny all the time.
Q: On what he expected when Steve Nash and Howard came to L.A.:
Gasol: I was definitely hopeful. But I knew there was a lot of work to do. You don’t win games by showing up on the court and wearing a certain number or certain name. You have to work and you have to create chemistry, you have to create certain habits on the floor, understand your strengths and weaknesses and work on them every single day. We had a coaching staff change and a totally different system came in – a system that probably didn’t fit our personnel. It was a lot of stuff. I’m sure you grasp some of it, but as you go through it, you don’t understand how much stuff we had to go through.
Q: On if he felt Howard didn’t give it his all because he knew he wasn’t going to be here:
Gasol: I don’t think so. I think he had certain expectations and certain demands as far as the game that probably weren’t fulfilled. It was also a big job of adjusting. We all had to adjust. He had to adjust and keep up and (we had to) sacrifice ourselves for the betterment of the team. ‘How much are you willing to sacrifice yourself for the betterment of the team? Understand what it takes and what the team needs from you specifically, not what you would like to give in particular.’ Those are some of the questions individually we all should have asked ourselves and worked on from there on out. You live and you learn. It just didn’t work out. We’re trying to work this out right here and this is enough of a challenge right now.
Q: On his thoughts on the team’s defense thus far:
Gasol: Inconsistent and not enough. We just have to be engaged defensively, we have to be more active and we have to communicate. We don’t communicate and we don’t create energy for ourselves and that puts us in big trouble. That’s what we have to do whoever is out there regardless of the lineups, we have to establish a communication and connection amongst the players that are on the floor. Otherwise, we’re going to struggle. Teams are too good offensively and we have to understand that.
Q: On what makes it harder this year with Howard not in the middle:
Gasol: You don’t have a shot blocker back there that will bail you some of the time, that will protect the rim like Dwight can with his athleticism. He also is a guy that gets his hands on ball and he’s aggressive. He gets a couple steals a game. Those are extra possessions. We have to make up for that in different areas. We have smaller guys that are quicker and more athletic and we have to utilize that.
Lakers coach Mike D’Antoni talked to the media about Howard’s free agency decision, what specifically he would like to see from his team out of pick-and-roll situations on offense, Xavier Henry’s play and his thought process behind whether choosing to play big or small lineups. Below is a transcript:
Q: On Howard’s decision to go to Houston:
D’Antoni: It’s too bad. We would have loved for him to have been here in L.A. It didn’t work out. We turned the page and you go on. We knew there were some problems and we didn’t know which way he’d go. He picked Houston and I’m sure he’ll make the best of it, and we’ll make the best of it.
Q: On if Howard was the one that got away from them:
D’Antoni: When you’ve been around long enough, there’s a lot that got away. I was in New York and we tried to go after some high guys, and there’s a lot that gets away. That’s the business you’re in. You just have to retool and do it. Everybody does what’s best for them and Dwight (Howard) did what was best for him. There’s more ways to get where you need to get.
Q: On what he’s expecting from a defensive front line of Omer Asik and Howard:
D’Antoni: They’re good. They do a lot of pick and rolls and run the floor. Obviously their defensive presence is good. You have to try to spread them out and do as well as you can.
Q: On his view on the Howard and Bryant dynamic:
D’Antoni: Everybody wanted to win a championship. Some people weren’t healthy. Sometimes it gets complicated and personalities get complicated. It was a situation where it didn’t’ work out to a certain degree. I thought towards the end, they were good. They were good together. Like I said, everybody chooses what’s best for them personally and family, and everything else. Nobody knows the total decision why and you just have to play off of it.
Q: On if he thought towards the end of the year that it could work out with Howard:
D’Antoni: 50-50. It was one of those things you didn’t know. You never know what people are thinking, and again, you never know someone’s personal life and what they want or looking for. You just don’t know.
Q: On what he would like to see from the team in the screen and roll action:
D’Antoni: We just have to put the effort. For whatever reason, we have a hard time sustaining our effort mentally and focused in on being gritty. We’re not there. We’re kind of playing in the old NBA trot. We’re not good enough to fall in like everybody else. Somehow we have to distinguish ourselves and that’s by grit and determination, and we’re not there yet.
Q: On if he would like to see more rolling action to the basket on offense:
D’Antoni: More rolling. That’s what we want to do. Again, mid-range shots aren’t the best shots in the world. If that’s what you want to get, that’s not a winning formula.
Q: On if he gives his players the option to either pop or roll:
D’Antoni: Almost 90 percent of the time, we want you to roll hard because we have another big (out there) and he’ll be the popper. You always have one shooter outside. What we’re missing is a dynamic force going to the basket. Kobe (Bryant) would give you that but we don’t have that force anywhere. So now we kind of play on the perimeter and sometimes it works out a little bit. But that’s not what we need to do.
Q: On if he knew the extent of Howard’s health last year:
D’Antoni: Yeah, he said he wasn’t healthy all the way until February or so. You could see it. It just complicated a lot of stuff.
Q: On Xavier Henry’s play thus far and where he needs to improve:
D’Antoni: Just getting his consistency. He’s a young player at 22 years old and hasn’t had much playing time. All of a sudden, he’s in the Lakers starting lineup. It’s tough, and tough to handle all that. He’s not a great shooter some nights, but I think still he’s positive when he’s on the floor. He’s running the floor well, playing good defense, so I think he’ll even (it all out), and he’ll keep getting better as a shooter.
Q: On his sense of when he’s looking at whether to play big or small lineups:
D’Antoni: My message was we’re not sustaining our energy to where we can make an intelligent decision. If you don’t do what you’re supposed to do, and we don’t run back and we don’t have grit, how do we know if something works or not? It’s almost like: ‘Oh that doesn’t work.’ Well, let’s show it. Let’s see it. If we all play hard, then we’ll make a decision. Again, a little bit of the responsibility is players have to separate themselves. They have to show everybody this is the way to go. Right now we’re trying to grasp at straws now and we just can’t do that. | <urn:uuid:10d499e5-042b-4903-a5da-1b718aa99667> | CC-MAIN-2014-10 | http://blog.lakers.com/lakers/2013/11/06/gasol-dantoni-media-in-houston/ | 2014-03-11T02:20:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-10/segments/1394011094911/warc/CC-MAIN-20140305091814-00072-ip-10-183-142-35.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.975996 | 3,339 |
Superpedestrian Launches Its Biggest Fleet of LINK E-Scooters in Los Angeles Today, With 5,000 Sustainable and Safe Vehicles
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Superpedestrian’s LINK shared e-scooter service launches its largest fleet of vehicles in Los Angeles today, making it the city’s largest provider of new shared scooters. The first of 5,000 silver-and-bright-yellow vehicles are rolling out across the city with a focus on inter-neighborhood access and connections to local transit including Metro Light Rail and buses.
LINK by Superpedestrian integrates community-first practices into all aspects of its business, including bringing good-paying jobs to communities. Globally, Superpedestrian focuses on employing workers as W2 employees rather than as gig workers, a marked divergence from the industry. In Los Angeles, Superpedestrian will work with leading community organizations, such as Homeboy Industries and Chrysalis, to give job opportunities to Angelenos from disadvantaged backgrounds. Additionally, through the LINK-Up program, Los Angeles community members receiving local, state or federal assistance will qualify for reduced trip fare and free rides.
Superpedestrian’s LINK scooters will serve neighborhoods that currently have few micromobility options, including North Hollywood, West Adams, and Highland Park. LINK e-scooters will also be available for riders in Venice, Hollywood, Koreatown/Echo Park, and Downtown Los Angeles.
How to Ride LINK: Rides cost $1 to unlock the scooter, plus 39 cents per minute. To ride a LINK scooter, simply download the LINK mobile app from the iOS or Android app store, use the app to find a scooter, and scan its QR code to get started. Superpedestrian also has accommodations for riders without smartphones or credit cards.
“Beginning today, we are thrilled to offer our largest fleet of reliable LINK scooters to Los Angeles residents, students and tourists,” said William Knapp, VP of Operations at Superpedestrian. “We look forward to working with City leaders and community organizations to best serve the needs of Los Angeles through a safe, equitable and sustainable transportation option.”
Los Angeles is the fourth California city served by Superpedestrian’s LINK e-scooters, joining San Diego, San Jose and Oakland. In early August, the Los Angeles Department of Transportation approved the selection of Superpedestrian, making it the city’s newest e-scooter provider.
Designed for safety and reliability, LINK scooters have a lifespan twice the industry average of over 2,500 safe rides.
Superpedestrian’s commitment to safety also extends to strategic partnerships and programs. In addition to hosting safety workshops and distributing free helmets, Superpedestrian partners with advocacy leaders like the Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition (LACBC) as part of Superpedestrian’s community-first approach to form a cohesive campaign around road safety including bikes, scooters, and all modes of active transit.
“At LACBC, we believe a more bikeable Los Angeles is a more liveable place for everyone. We are proud to partner with Superpedestrian to put the safety of riders, pedestrians and cyclists first.” said Eli Akira Kaufman, Executive Director at the Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition. “We are confident that Superpedestrian will help bridge an important gap in our region by providing safe and equitable micromobility services for all Angelenos.”
“We’re excited to welcome LINK scooters to Los Angeles. LINK will give people a new, easy, zero-emission way to get around the city. We are working closely with LINK to roll out these scooters safely across Los Angeles — especially in Downtown LA — and we are proud to help expand the city’s micromobility options with LINK, providing affordable and equitable transportation for LA residents and visitors to get to their destinations,” said Hilary Norton, Executive Director of FASTLinkDTLA.
LINK scooters are the smartest, safest and most stable e-scooters in the industry. LINK is the first and only e-scooter with on-board Artificial Intelligence that autonomously performs vehicle safety checks, ensuring every vehicle is safe before each ride.
Superpedestrian’s commitment to safety also includes strict personnel procedures and frequent vehicle sanitation protocols to prevent the spread of COVID. The company will continue to work closely with the city and operational teams to reliably sanitize scooters.
Discounts and Promotions:
Through the LINK-Up program, Los Angeles community members receiving local, state or federal assistance will qualify for reduced trip fare and free rides.
Ride safe and always wear a helmet. LINK offers riders discounted helmets through Bern.
LINK also offers free scooter rides to COVID-19 vaccination appointments.
For more information on these programs, visit link.city/losangeles.
How are LINK scooters safe and city-friendly?
- LINK’s on-board A.I. Mechanic ensures vehicles are safe before each and every ride.
- Geofencing protects pedestrians by keeping scooters out of pedestrian plazas and other restricted zones.
- LINK is working with local community-based organizations and soliciting feedback from community members on how best to design its programs and service area to serve the community.
LINK Scooter Sharing Rules of the Road
- Ride scooters in the bike lane when available or in the street
- Obey all traffic laws
- Always yield to pedestrians
- Riders must be 18 years and older with a valid driver’s license
- Helmets are strongly encouraged
- Park scooters neatly and keep sidewalks clear
- Never ride under the influence
About LINK: LINK is the world’s safest and smartest e-scooter. Engineered and built by Superpedestrian, a mobility engineering and technology company that develops and launches urban transport solutions, LINK scooters are the first to offer self-diagnostic and self-protection technologies that keep riders and pedestrians safe.

All the Education Links You Could Ever Want
For the insatiable link-lovers out there, there are several ways of making sure that you haven't "missed anything" each week, without having to spend an inordinate amount of time searching the Web.
As many know, there are two or three places to get lots of education links every day, including EducationNews.org, Education Week's Daily News, and Stateline.org's daily list of education news. You can also sign up for daily emails from the ASCD SmartBrief, ECS E-Clips, District Administration magazine, and others. EducationNews and the SmartBrief are my favorites, but each has its strengths and weaknesses. Why not sign up for them all?
For weekly news, there's the Gadfly, the PEN NewsBlast, and even Google News, which can be set up to send you a weekly email of links customized to your interests. Don't forget Education Week, which puts out a ton of high-quality news each week. Biweekly, PPIOnline.org puts out its own roundup, though the arrival of Eduwonk seems to have made it irrelevant.
To track blogs and other sites that might slip through the tracks, one of the newer and easier ways of keeping afloat is to set up a free account at Bloglines.com and get "webfeeds" (headlines of new stories) from most of your favorite sites, collected and delivered to you in one easy place. It's like having your own customized version of the web come to you. I highly recommend it. Email me and I'll tell you how to do it and send you my bloglines list so you don't have to start from scratch.
That's it. All the education links you could ever want, and way more content than you could ever hope to read through. | <urn:uuid:02f4e04e-eb7e-4bb5-aa41-be3c690c9104> | CC-MAIN-2017-13 | http://thisweekineducation.blogspot.com/2005/06/all-education-links-you-could-ever.html | 2017-03-30T04:43:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-13/segments/1490218191986.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20170322212951-00103-ip-10-233-31-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.966358 | 385 |
Motorola Cliq Must be Overclocked
I have watched some of the hands-on videos of the Motorola Cliq, and I can't help but wonder if Motorola deliberately over clocked the devices. In the demos there is no lag whatsoever, whether pressing the back key or home key. Everything seems instant, despite many many widgets being on the Home screen.
The Cliq uses the same exact 528 Mhz processor as the G1 and I believe it has the same onboard memory.
In contrast, my G1 lags alot. When playing Pandora, the device basically slows down to molasses-like speeds. Google voice makes it even worse.
I have had to install Taskiller in order to constantly free up memory. I have 13MB of on board memory available, which should be more than enough,

I found my phone slowing when I had lots of apps installed. A lot of them I never used anyway so got rid.
Also - phones, like PCs, seem to always work fastest when new and start slowing after use with lots of apps being installed and uninstalled. A wipe and reset might help.

I wouldn't assume that it would run the same just because the processor is the same. The CLIQ has a third more memory. We also don't know if the memory is the same speed and design as it is on the G1. There are a lot of variables that you can't account for that would affect speed.
However, we only have one more week to find out if the CLIQ is really faster or if it's a trade show anomaly.bye

Hi guys. I'm new here. Cuurently a BB8900 owner. Got rid of my G1 as soon as the 8900 hit the stores. My wife and son both have G1s so I get to play around on Android all the time.
My friend is a Tmo manager and whenever he gets new phones ( before they hit the shelves) he lets me play around with them.
He brought the Cliq over to me last week and let me have it for 24 hrs. I will have to say that it was quicker than the G1 in ever way. No lagging at all and when using Google maps, the rendering was much faster.
Loved the fit and finish of this phone. Took some pictures and they're much better than myTough or G1 and there are more features for photo mode.
My only concern is battery life. It seemed to die out quicker than the 2 G1s we have at home. I gave the phone back to my friend and he let someone else use it and they said the same thing. One of the reps told my friend that they are aware of this and its something they're looking into.
I really miss Android and 3g speeds (my BB8900 is only edge and wifi) and will most likely get the Cliq, myTouch or even possible the behold 2 (after I play around with it). I know Tmo is coming out with the BB9700 (3G and wifi) but they charge for 95% of their apps.
I'm really hoping that the push email on the cliq works almost as good as my berry, if so, thas my next phone.

UNLESS and UNTIL you’ve got consent – Section 73.1206 leaves very little wiggle room.
The telephone rule strikes again! Back in February of last year, we thought we made it pretty darn clear that, with very few exceptions, you’re not supposed to record any part of a telephone conversation for future broadcast unless you have first obtained consent from the other party to the conversation. You can look it up – it’s Section 73.1206. And yet, barely three months later, another licensee did just what it wasn’t supposed to do. If only it had paid attention to CommLawBlog.com, it could have avoided a $2,000 fine. Oh well, maybe next time.
Truth be told, this violation was not as bad as some others we’ve seen – including, particularly, the one we wrote about last year. In this case, a station’s morning team called some guy at about 6:00 a.m., possibly to discuss some dispute the guy was involved in. With the recorder running (but not on the air), the announcers ID’d themselves. The guy immediately asked whether he was on the air. No, responded the jocks, but they acknowledged that “[t]echnically you’re being recorded right now.” [Note: Why they qualified that admission with “technically” is not clear, since they were, in fact, recording him. But it was 6:00 in the morning, after all.] The guy astutely advised them in no uncertain terms that he did not consent to the broadcast of his voice.
To which the announcers replied: “Oh bummer”.
The announcers then terminated the recording and, to their credit, did not broadcast the snippet of conversation they had taped. But the caller was obviously cheesed off, and he complained to the Commission.
The Enforcement Bureau wasted no time in bringing the hammer down. As it pointed out in the Notice of Apparent Liability, the rule leaves no room for doubt:
before broadcasting or recording a telephone conversation for later broadcast, a licensee must inform any party to the call of its intention to broadcast the conversation, except where such party is aware, or may be presumed to be aware from the circumstances of the conversation, that it is being or likely will be broadcast.
(Those are the Bureau’s italics, not ours.) In responding to the Commission’s initial inquiry, the licensee admitted that the announcers made the recording with the intent of broadcasting the conversation. Bingo – violation.
There are a couple of take-home messages here. First, Section 73.1206 does mean exactly what it says, and the Commission is going to enforce it. So even if the recording is not broadcast, the rule can still be broken. Second, the First Rule of Holes applies: when you find yourself in one, stop digging. In this case, the licensee saved itself at least $2,000 by not broadcasting the recording. That exercise of judicious self-control was, in the Bureau’s view, a sua sponte “corrective measure” taken before the Commission got involved at all. As a result, the standard penalty for a Section 73.1206 violation – i.e., $4,000 – was halved.
Still, even at half the standard penalty, two grand is a hefty price to pay for such an easily avoidable violation. And that’s not counting the legal fees rung up for helping to prepare the response to the FCC’s inquiry, or the internal hassle that invariably accompanies the response process. So can’t we all agree that, as tempting as ambush phone calls may be (particularly at 0 dark 30), it’s best to just say no to that temptation? | <urn:uuid:05b27921-b532-49da-917b-08748205ec0b> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.commlawblog.com/2012/05/articles/broadcast/dont-touch-that-rec-button/ | 2020-08-08T20:41:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738351.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20200808194923-20200808224923-00401.warc.gz | en | 0.971642 | 807 |

At 7:30 a.m. each school day, a few Christians from various parts of the world stand near a military checkpoint in Hebron, offering schoolgirls smiling facesand protection as they pass a daunting obstacle course of checkpoints, soldiers, settlers, and the occasional stoning and harassment. The students, ages 6 to 16, are headed for Cordoba Girls School, located inside Area H2, the area of Hebron under Israeli military control. The volunteers watching over them are from the Ecumenical Accompaniment Program in Palestine and Israel (EAPPI).
In 2001, church leaders from Israel and Palestine asked the World Council of Churches to provide "more than statements" about their precarious and all too often violent situation. The "more" became the accompaniment program, which allows Christians from around the world to come together with the people of Palestine and Israel in their daily life and work.
Unlike other peace groups working in the area, EAPPI draws participants from a wide range of churches and countriesnot just the United States, but nine other countries: New Zealand, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Canada, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany. And in June, the first four "accompaniers" arrived from South Africa, fresh from intensive nonviolence training both at home and in Jerusalem.
As the people of Israel and Palestine continue their long struggle for peace, the South African accompaniers will bring to the Middle East their experiences and their hope for a better world. As Father Luke Pato, a South African Anglican canon, recently told prospective volunteers, "It is too easy for us to forget the dark and terrible days of our own struggle, but the world has not forgotten, and our mere presence [in Israel and Palestine] stands as a sign of hope to others." Volunteering in Palestine, he said, is "a great gift we can offer to the global community."
Their participation is particularly meaningful because the accompaniment program is modeled after the Ecumenical Monitoring Program in South Africa, a movement of faith-based solidarity during the violent years of 1990 through 1994, the critical final phase of the transition from apartheid to democracy. At that time, almost 450 volunteers from churches all over the world shared the fears and excitement of the people and served as witnesses to violent situations, the process of negotiations, and electoral proceedings. EAPPIs eventual goal is to draw from as many countries as its South African predecessor, which attracted volunteers from countries ranging from Brazil and Nicaragua to Japan and India.
"They were there for us and it is important to be here for them now," said Rev. Trevor Sibande, a South African accompanier in Palestine. Sibande, who was a student during the time of the monitoring program in his country, says that it "really opened our eyes and encouraged us to stand up for what we believe. We wouldnt have survived without international support." At home in South Africa, friends, family, and churches are burning candles and praying for the safety of Trevor and the others in the program.
The mission of the program is to accompany Palestinians and Israelis in their nonviolent actionsto offer, through "presence and witness...solidarity to those who are suffering as well as an international watchdog presence to deter the use of violence," according to Father Pato. Participants in the program monitor and report violations of human rights and international humanitarian law, support acts of nonviolent resistance alongside local Christian and Muslim Palestinians and Israeli peace activists, and engage in public policy advocacy.
The accompaniers are in the region at the invitation of its churches, and orientation and learning from local church members and peace groups is critical to the program, says Anne-Marie Vuignier, the program associate working from the WCC in Geneva. Participants learn about the history of the area, including that of its churches, and are instructed how to report human rights violations. Perhaps most critical is the training in nonviolence, which includes role plays about how to react peacefully to the situations participants will face, such as crossing checkpoints and escorting ambulances and health-care workers. Also important to the orientation are personal interactions, including a meeting with the Parents Circle, which includes both Israeli and Palestinian parents who have lost family members due to the conflict.
The program works closely with other solidarity and peace groups, especially Christian Peacemaker Teams, to decide which locations most need an international presence. Program volunteers currently work in Jerusalem, Ramallah, Jayyous, Yanoun, Sawahreh, and Hebron. In many situations, just being there is enough to make a difference.
In Yanoun, a village of Palestinians completely surrounded by Israeli settlers, the presence of internationals is the only thing allowing the Palestinians to stay in their homes safely. Accompaniers there help with olive harvests and shepherding and are often invited to villagers homes for tea. Going away for a weekend is not an option, according to Vuignier; there have been several cases where the coming and going of internationals has provoked harsh punishment on the locals by the settlers. A villager recently summed up the importance of EAPPIs presence in Yanoun: "If you leave in the morning, we leave in the afternoon."
Some participants, including Ilse from Switzerland and Soeren from Denmark, work with the Union of Palestinian Medical Relief Committees, a group that provides health care to the villages around the West Bank and Gaza. The group also sends ambulances to planned demonstrations in case of violent clashes, helping people wounded by tear gas and the rubber bullets used by the Israeli Defense Force.
Vital to the work of the accompaniers is the job of raising awareness about the realities of Palestine and Israel after returning to their home countries. The program has created a presentation with photos of the realities on both sides of the wall and in various occupied territories. The returning participants speak to church congregations, peace groups, and universities and offer stories to the media, in their home countries and around the world. Such international solidarity encourages and strengthens Israeli peace groups, whose actions are often criticized or ignored in their own society.
Telling their stories is important inside Israel too, said Staale Langoergen, a participant from Norway. "Most Israelis are surprised and do not understand what is happening in the occupied territories," said Langoergen. "It is important for us to share the realities." He tells them about the difficulties of crossing checkpoints, the violent attacks on civilian Palestinians, and how the wall is dividing communities. Responses to these presentations run the gamut from disbelief and condemnation to genuine concern and requests for more information.
Through the Ecumenical Accompaniment Program, the people of Israel and Palestine have a daily representation of their brothers and sisters in solidarity around the world. For the churches in Israel and Palestine, this sign of friendship and solidarity provides support and encouragement.
For the Jewish and Muslim people of the region, the program participants reveal a different face of Christianity, the nonviolent actions that Jesus taught, and the hope for peace. As Jean Zaru, who works with the peace group Sabeel and is presiding clerk of Ramallahs Quaker community, recently put it, "When asked about what gives me hope, I mention the EAPPI."

Adrift by featured artist Jamila Clarke
The devil was never in the details.
He was in your nails, your skin, your hair—
locks as thick as craft ribbons,
oil-slicked black diamond waves
made for gold-plated lockets
of flint-faced lovers.
We had a Red October once.
When all our moods were colored
by jealousy and the walls
were target practice.
We fired off the plates
waiting in the china cabinet
and I was the bloody ghost
of Anne Boleyn thirsty
for Henry’s head.
Even now I find strands of your hair
in my bathroom sink hiding
behind dressers clamped between
the ragged teeth of wooden drawers,
reminders of late nights and fast life,
crackled conversation and lungs
that burst open like stitched-up gills—
when the words tasted like metal
and blood rolling around
in our mouths. I would bite
my tongue so I could talk
with my hands
that bred dead mementos,
casted off like fallen soldiers
in foreign snow that I will mourn
inside every one of my mornings. | <urn:uuid:05d192c8-c101-477f-8529-bb72e238647c> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://wordsdance.com/words-dance-16/vanessa-willoughby/ | 2017-11-21T02:54:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806310.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20171121021058-20171121041058-00422.warc.gz | en | 0.931925 | 250 |
Most people sign up for detox programs or cleanses to lose weight quickly. This will work if they are fine with likely short term weight loss in the form of mostly water weight. If you imagine skipping a day without food, or at least cutting down your regular portion sizes, you would expect to lose weight. But your body is smart. It knows what it needs to function. But what is the real purpose of a detox or cleanse?
Your body requires not only macronutrients like carbohydrates, fat, and protein, your body needs micronutrients like vitamins and minerals. Many cleanses offer 1 to 5 days of juices to help clear the body of toxins. The concept is to flush your body with fluids, vitamins, and minerals – keeping a feeling of satiation with a tummy full of liquid. This sounds great, until your realize that oftentimes the juices are primarily, if not entirely, fruit. Juicing packs a bunch of vitamins and minerals into a relatively small amount of juice — but the fiber gets left behind. Fruit juices are also loaded with sugar.
While juicing can provide vitamins, minerals, and sugar for energy, what about the protein and fat?
Proteins and fats are mostly found in animal meat, seeds (inclusive of legumes and nuts), and some fruits (think avocado, coconut, olive). We need protein and fat for our muscles, our brain, our hormones, even absorption of vitamins A, D, E, and K.
If you want to juice, go with veggies. Vegetables have less sugar but chock full of vitamins and minerals. If you need your sweet fix, stick to how Mother Nature intended: eat the whole fruit.
If you are looking for a detox or cleanse to really, actually, truly restore your liver or colon, please email us or consult your trusted healthcare provider.

Israel orders killing of Hamas politicians
"IN A desperate attempt to stop the barrage of rockets fired by Hamas at Israeli villages, Ehud Olmert, Israel’s prime minister, has ordered his security chiefs to target the Islamic movement’s political leadership.
According to Israeli security sources, a decision to assassinate leading Hamas politicians was taken by Olmert and his defence minister, Amir Peretz. Early yesterday Israeli missiles struck Hamas targets in Gaza, including a charity run by the group.
Since withdrawing from Gaza more than a year ago, Israel has targeted Hamas’s military activists, but that has not stopped the rockets. Outraged by an attack last Wednesday on the village of Sderot, Israel is determined to ensure the political leadership in Gaza, the West Bank and abroad will “no longer escape responsibility”.
The controversial change in tactics has been driven by Peretz, who broke down in tears when one of his bodyguards was badly injured in Sderot, his home village. The army has been battling against Palestinian rocket units in northern Gaza for months and has intensified its operations there in recent weeks. Since the beginning of this month, 98 Palestinians have been killed.
“The Gaza Strip is about to turn into the biggest terrorist compound on earth,” Yuval Diskin, the head of the Israeli internal security service, warned a parliamentary committee last week. “We have no choice but to consider a massive military operation there.”
Yesterday, deputy prime minister Avigdor Lieberman called for the assassination of Hamas and Islamic Jihad leaders. "They have to disappear, go to paradise, all of them," he said." | <urn:uuid:23629def-28d9-4708-a117-3e85971c4ddc> | CC-MAIN-2017-34 | http://palestinianpundit.blogspot.com/2006/11/from-light-unto-nations.html | 2017-08-18T05:01:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-34/segments/1502886104565.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20170818043915-20170818063915-00069.warc.gz | en | 0.968514 | 347 |
Introducing Ronika LalPosted on 03/03/2015 by Jess O'Connor
Ronika is our new Academic Services Assistant. She joins ITC from a customer service and administration background. Below she tells us why she decided to pursue a career in travel and tourism.
I studied a Bachelor of Commerce at the University of Auckland initially majoring in Accounting. However, in my second year I realised it just wasn’t for me. So I had a big think and ended up majoring in International Business and Management. It just was not worth committing money, time and effort into something I didn’t love.
My decision to major in International Business is due to my aspiration to travel in the future and I enjoyed it immensely. I gained so much knowledge about different cultures, customs and people around the world and how they affect the business environment.
Graduating with my degree in 2013 I started working full-time in customer service and administration for a transport service provider. That role has serve d as the basis of my career so far but after a while I wanted a change so when an opportunity to work for ITC came up I was very excited and was hired as the Academic Services Assistant.
The environment at ITC is fun and dynamic reflecting the travel and tourism industry well and I am excited to see how my journey at ITC unravels.
I was born in Fiji and moved to NZ at the age of 4 so I have grown up in NZ for the majority of my life. I have a huge aspiration to travel to Europe. I am obsessed with the culture, food, architecture and the fact you can literally catch a train to another country.
However, in the mean time I have traveled across Fiji, New Zealand and Australia. I encourage everyone to go out and experience new cultures, food, languages and people. It definitely broadens your mind and you will have some amazing experiences to cherish.
That is my story so far but I am still very young and excited to see where life takes me.Posted in News, Staff News | Tagged ITC Staff, tourism careers, Travel and Tourism, travel careers | Leave a reply | <urn:uuid:42cc52ef-cc36-4e36-ac1a-d57f48c3e396> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | https://www.itc.co.nz/introducing-ronika-lal/ | 2017-10-24T04:15:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187828134.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20171024033919-20171024053919-00452.warc.gz | en | 0.973885 | 437 |

She hermed out and started showing a couple of bananas on the buds. Tons of frost and a beautiful smell but the buds are not done. I chopped her and have her isolated in a paper bag drying out. I'm gonna add her to the hash pile once dried.
I totally blame myself on this one... Waaaayyy too much HST early on. I'm sure that's what ultimately caused her to herm out. Too bad because she was smelling so beautiful. But a welcome addition to the hash pile. I'll definitely try growing AVT again, but I'll go a lot easier with training the next time. | <urn:uuid:be4cada2-ebab-484c-83b4-a60b0685330d> | CC-MAIN-2018-34 | https://growdiaries.com/diaries/5634-alien-vs-triangle-first-diary-from-seed | 2018-08-20T14:23:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-34/segments/1534221216475.75/warc/CC-MAIN-20180820140847-20180820160847-00275.warc.gz | en | 0.978181 | 130 |

This laser video tutorial will give you the information on how to create protective face masks using your laser and sewing machine. If we make our own masks, it will help ease the shortage to hospitals, and reserve the supply of N95 and medical-grade for those on the front lines.
See how we used our Speedy 360 80W CO2 laser to cut the fabric for our face masks.
Tip: Any cotton fabric will work to make these masks. Repurpose old, cotton t-shirts or sheets.
Position a sheet of standard cotton fabric into the laser machine. Pick a mask size from the three standard options, and laser-cut the material using the file provided. You can cut one, or an array of samples, as shown in the video. Once processing has completed, remove the remaining material from your samples. Repeat this process with another sheet of cotton material.
Tip: Use two different colored fabrics, so that it is easy to determine which sides face towards and away from the mouth.
Power (%): 100
Speed (%): 5
ppi/Hz: 5000 ppi
Air Assist: Yes
*Use these parameters as a guide but make sure you adjust your settings if you have a machine with a different wattage.
Start by pinning two pieces of each color together. Sew them together, as demonstrated in the video. Repeat for the other color. Determine which color will be your inner and outer-facing sides of your mask. | <urn:uuid:78dcdd96-56b5-4ff2-865b-bd84fed32ffc> | CC-MAIN-2020-24 | https://www.troteclaser.com/en-us/blog/2020-04-face-mask/ | 2020-06-01T02:42:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-24/segments/1590347413901.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20200601005011-20200601035011-00130.warc.gz | en | 0.843136 | 300 |
As each new year approaches, John Brockman, founder of Edge, an online publication, consults with three of the original members of Edge—Stewart Brand, founder and editor of Whole Earth Catalog; Kevin Kelly, who helped to launch Wired in 1993 and wrote "What Technology Wants," a book to be published in October (Viking Penguin); and George Dyson, a science historian who is the author of several books including "Darwin Among the Machines." Together they create the Edge Annual Question—which Brockman then sends out to the Edge list to invite responses. He receives these commentaries by e-mail, which are then edited. Edge is a read-only site. There is no direct posting nor is Edge open for comments.
Brockman has been asking an Edge Annual Question for the past 13 years. In this essay, he explains what makes a question a good one to ask and shares some responses to this year's question: "How is the Internet changing the way you think?"
"Origins of Edge"
Read the responses in their entirety »
It's not easy coming up with a question. As the artist James Lee Byars used to say: "I can answer the question, but am I bright enough to ask it?" Edge is a conversation. We are looking for questions that inspire answers we can't possibly predict. Surprise me with an answer I never could have guessed. My goal is to provoke people into thinking thoughts that they normally might not have.
The art of a good question is to find a balance between abstraction and the personal, to ask a question that has many answers, or at least one for which you don't know the answer. It's a question distant enough to encourage abstractions and not so specific that it's about breakfast. A good question encourages answers that are grounded in experience but bigger than that experience alone.
Before we arrived at the 2010 question, we went through several months of considering other questions. Eventually I came up with the idea of asking how the Internet is affecting the scientific work, lives, minds and reality of the contributors. Kevin Kelly responded:
John, you pioneered the idea of asking smart folks what question they are asking themselves. Well I've noticed in the past few years there is one question everyone on your list is asking themselves these days and that is, is the Internet making me smarter or stupid? Nick Carr tackled the question on his terms, but did not answer it for everyone. In fact, I would love to hear the Edge list tell me their version: Is the Internet improving them or improving their work, and how is it changing how they think? I am less interested in the general "us" and more interested in the specific "you"—how it is affecting each one personally. Nearly every discussion I have with someone these days will arrive at this question sooner or later. Why not tackle it head on?
And so we did.
Yet, we still had work to do in framing our question. When people respond to "we" questions, their words tend to resemble expert papers, public pronouncements, or talks delivered from a stage. "You" leads us to share specifics of our lived experience. The challenge then is to not let responses slip into life's more banal details.
For us, discussion revolved around whether we'd ask "Is the Internet changing the way we think?" or probe this topic with a "you" focused question. Steven Pinker, Harvard research psychologist, author of "The Language Instinct" and "The Blank Slate," and one of several distinguished scientists I consult, advised heading in the direction of "us."
I very much like the idea of the Edge Question, but would suggest one important change—that it be about "us," not "me." The "me" question is too easy—if people really thought that some bit of technology was making their minds or their lives worse, they could always go back to the typewriter, or the Britannica, or the US Postal Service. The tough question is "us'"if every individual makes a choice that makes him or her better off, could there be knock-on effects that make the culture as a whole worse off (what the economists call "externalities")?
Ultimately it's my call so I decided to go with the "you" question in the hope that it would attract a wider range of individualistic responses. In my editorial marching orders to contributors, I asked them to think about the Internet—a much bigger subject than the Web, recalling that in 1996 computer scientist and visionary W. Daniel Hillis presciently observed the difference:
Many people sense this, but don't want to think about it because the change is too profound. Today, on the Internet the main event is the Web. A lot of people think that the Web is the Internet, and they're missing something. The Internet is a brand-new fertile ground where things can grow, and the Web is the first thing that grew there. But the stuff growing there is in a very primitive form. The Web is the old media incorporated into the new medium. It both adds something to the Internet and takes something away.
Framing the question and setting a high bar for responses is critical. Before launching the question to the entire Edge list, I invited a dozen or so people who I believed would have something interesting to say; their responses would seed the site and encourage the wider group to think in surprising ways. Here are some of these early responses:
Playwright Richard Foreman asks about the replacement of complex inner density with a new kind of self evolving under the pressure of information overload and the technology of the instantly available. Is it a new self? Are we becoming Pancake People—spread wide and thin as we connect with that vast network of information accessed by the mere touch of a button?
Technology analyst Nicholas Carr, who wrote The Atlantic cover story, "Is Google Making Us Stupid?," asks whether the use of the Web made it impossible for us to read long pieces of writing.
Social software guru Clay Shirky says the answer is " ‘too soon to tell.' This isn't because we can't see some of the obvious effects already, but because the deep changes will be manifested only when new cultural norms shape what the technology makes possible. ... The Internet's primary effect on how we think will only reveal itself when it affects the cultural milieu of thought, not just the behavior of individual users."
Web 2.0 pioneer Tim O'Reilly ponders if ideas themselves are the ultimate social software. Do they evolve via the conversations we have with each other, the artifacts we create, and the stories we tell to explain them?
Stewart Brand, founder of Whole Earth Catalog, cannot function without the major players in his social extended mind—his guild. "How I think is shaped to a large degree by how they think," he writes. "Thanks to my guild's Internet-mediated conversation, my neuronal thinking is enhanced immeasurably by our digital thinking."
Hillis goes a step further by asking if the Internet will, in the long run, arrive at a much richer infrastructure in which ideas can potentially evolve outside of human minds. In other words, can we change the way the Internet thinks?
The 2010 question elicited, in all, 172 essays that comprised a 132,000-word manuscript published online by Edge in January.
Kelly speaks about a new type of mind, amplified by the Internet, evolving, and able to start a new phase of evolution outside of the body. In "Net Gain," evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins looks 40 years into the future when "retrieval from the communal exosomatic memory will become dramatically faster, and we shall rely less on the memory in our skulls." Nassim Taleb, author of "The Black Swan," writes about "The Degradation of Predictability—and Knowledge" as he asks us to "consider the explosive situation: More information (particularly thanks to the Internet) causes more confidence and illusions of knowledge while degrading predictability."
Nick Bilton, lead writer of The New York Times's Bits blog, notes that "[the] Internet is not changing how we think. Instead, we are changing how the Internet thinks." Actor Alan Alda worries about "[speed] plus mobs. A scary combination." He wonders, "Is there an algorithm perking somewhere in someone's head right now that can act as a check against this growing hastiness and mobbiness?" New York Times columnist Virginia Heffernan writes that "we must keep on reading and not mistake new texts for new worlds, or new forms for new brains."
Numerous artists responded in enlightening ways, as their evocative headlines suggest:
I enjoyed the juxtaposition of responses by psychologist Steven Pinker, "Not At All," and Chinese artist and cultural activist Ai Weiwei, "I Only Think on the Internet." The response I most admired is George Dyson's "Kayaks vs. Canoes." It is a gem:
In the North Pacific Ocean, there were two approaches to boatbuilding. The Aleuts (and their kayak-building relatives) lived on barren, treeless islands and built their vessels by piecing together skeletal frameworks from fragments of beach-combed wood. The Tlingit (and their dugout canoe-building relatives) built their vessels by selecting entire trees out of the rainforest and removing wood until there was nothing left but a canoe.
What do you think?
Origins of Edge
The Edge project was inspired by the 1971 failed art experiment entitled "The World Question Center" by the late James Lee Byars, John Brockman's friend and sometime collaborator. Byars believed that to arrive at an axiology of societal knowledge it was pure folly to go to Widener Library at Harvard and read six million volumes. Instead, he planned to gather the 100 most brilliant minds in the world in a room, lock them behind closed doors, and have them ask each other the questions they were asking themselves. The expected result, in theory, was to be a synthesis of all thought. But it didn't work out that way. Byars identified his 100 most brilliant minds and called each of them. The result: 70 people hung up on him.
A decade later, Brockman picked up on the idea and founded The Reality Club, which, in 1997, went online, rebranded as Edge. | <urn:uuid:0cc76bfa-4099-4576-b914-edbf1cb424bc> | CC-MAIN-2018-39 | https://www.edge.org/documents/archive/edge320.html | 2018-09-22T19:37:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-39/segments/1537267158633.40/warc/CC-MAIN-20180922182020-20180922202420-00030.warc.gz | en | 0.962754 | 2,126 |

I picked up my Kindle and started reading that and was immediately hooked, thinking, whoa, I am definitely going to buy this book. I was two chapters in, when I realized I was actually reading The Sheik's Ruby! I know, silly me, but this book was so captivating right from the very beginning. I loved how easy and confident Shelby was and how the author described the first meeting and attraction between Shelby and Hakim. Hakim is swoon-worthy, of course, and I didn't even try to put the book down when they were together. I loved their scenes!
It was fun seeing Hakim, a prince, doing some mundane American things and the author made it easy to really feel a connection to him and the sheltered life of privilege he'd led to this point. And Shelby was the perfect woman to show him what it means to fall in love, even in her fish out of water status when she's in his country. The plot was ramped up with a terrorist angle and some suspense which was really well done, using a lot of the supporting cast. I loved Kadir and Nasir and even the Sheik. The middle eastern culture was described well and it really added to the story. Definitely one for my keeper shelf. Five stars from me!

This story is about Jake Hunter who has lost his sister to cancer. His family is trying to cope and doing a terrible job of it. He's pulling double duty at the family shop and isn't exactly happy about it, but doesn't know what to do, really. He meets Tiffany Saunders, a beautiful and mysterious woman who is passing through town. At least, she thinks she is, until she has some car trouble and has to stay a little longer.
Tiffany has a terrible background. She's running from her abusive husband and her grandpa is helping her hide her identity and start over. Stopping in Kittle Falls and meeting Jake is a twist of fate she wasn't expecting and she ends up staying and getting to know him better. Her self-esteem is pretty low due to her abusive marriage, but her interactions with Jake show her that she can have a chance at love again, if she'll only take the risk.
This story dealt with some heavy material and definitely wasn't a fluffy beach read. I liked the ocean setting and the fact that this is a start of a series. (Jake's brothers will probably get their own stories.) I thought the author did a great job dealing with the grief of Jake's family and the fear and abuse on Tiffany's side, showing that two people who are broken can heal....more

She's an over-preparer and goes over every minute detail in her cases so she can do her best work. Until the day that she's in the middle of closing arguments and hot attorney Zane Holyoke catches her eye. She flubs her closing in front of her boss, but thankfully doesn't lose the case. Only, she's now in danger of losing her heart!
Camilla has some relationship issues, however, and doesn't let Zane too close, especially when she finds out they're both competing for the Deputy County Attorney job. He's a charmer, a "Jury Whisperer" and while Camilla is wildly attracted to him, she's also very careful with keeping her distance. I loved their interactions and seriously laughed out loud at some of them. The author did a great job with their dialogue and how fun Zane and Camilla were together. The supporting cast was fantastic as well, really adding to the story.
If you are looking for a fun, sweet romance, you have to get this one. Five stars from me! ...more

I wasn't sure how I would like her writing in another genre or ifI have been a big fan of Josi's Sadie Hoffmiller series and was sorry to see it end. I wasn't sure how I would like her writing in another genre or if it would be as good as her culinary mysteries. I didn't need to worry. A Heart Revealed is incredibly well-done. (Am I gushing? I probably am, but it deserves every bit of praise.) This is a regency romance, but it's so unlike anything else I've read in this genre. If any of you know me, you know I am not a morning person, but I woke up EARLY to finish reading this one, it was that good. I couldn't put it down! It's an emotional roller-coaster that lets you experience this time period in a very unique way.
When we first meet our heroine, Amber Sterlington, she's kind of a snot, but boy does she get her come-uppance in a horrible way. I felt so sorry for her! But going through her journey and seeing her growth as a person is what made this book so good. The premise is unique, the people are multi-dimensional and I couldn't help but root for Amber to find true happiness. The setting is superb and the writing hit all the right notes, especially while our heroine tries to figure out her life after "the incident."
Our hero, Thomas Richards, is just as good, trying to find his way among the nobility and find a wife he could at least find a little bit of happiness with. He meets Amber, the Rage of the Season, and she treats him badly. But their story has just begun. He can't get her out of his mind, even with the set-down she gave him and when their paths cross again, he still does the noble thing. But why would she look twice at someone who can't offer her wealth or titles? I don't want to give anything away so you can experience the book like I did, but I was turning pages far into the night and like I mentioned at the beginning, I woke up early to finish it. So amazing. If you love regency romances, you've got to have this one....more

We first meet Ella when she's describing the rules that rule her life and her town. You have to be an Auburn fan or an Alabama fan, you don't ever wear a crown, and you don't associate with the Jackson family. Ella breaks the biggest of those rules when she falls in love with Brady Jackson.
They are cruelly torn apart as teens and then the book fast forwards to ten years later. Ella has come home to take care of a family situation and Brady seems to be everywhere she is. Ella is trying to reconcile her buried feelings and hurt and betrayal from their breakup years ago, as well as unravel the mystery as to why the rules were there in the first place. That is what kept me up late. While I loved the romance between Ella and Brady, I just had to know why those rules came to be. And it was worth the wait. So tender.
I enjoyed the southern touches the author uses, they felt genuine, I liked the small town setting, and the characters were endearing, especially Brady. I love second chance romance stories and this one did not disappoint. A great afternoon/evening/half the night read!
This is the second book in the Hearthfire Romance series and is a companion novel to the first one, Saving Grace. This is definitely not a s4.5 stars.
This is the second book in the Hearthfire Romance series and is a companion novel to the first one, Saving Grace. This is definitely not a stand-alone book and in order for it to make the most sense, you really have to read Saving Grace first since this one takes place at the same time.
That said, I really enjoyed the romance between the main characters in Loving Helen. There were just enough misunderstandings to build the tension and the addition of Helen's relationship with Beth really showed off the real Helen---the one who's not jumpy and afraid. I loved that Helen is fleshed out as a real character who has overcome so much in her life to bring her to this point and that Mr. Preston doesn't feel an insta-love for her. It made it very realistic, even through their faux-engagement when those tender feelings are beginning to take root. I loved Mr. Preston in the first book and loved him even more in this one. This is a clean romance, of course, but I have to say there is one "kissing scene" that was totally sigh-worthy. Since I don't want to give away any spoilers, however, I'll stop there. I also thought the author did a great job with the secondary characters and really made the entire cast relatable and believable. I'm excited to read the third book in the series!...more

It was so relatable! I currently have a child in piano lessons and we were chuckling and nodding our heads through the whole thing. The way it likens piano practice to what we're trying to do as followers of Christ was so original. We also loved the illustrations and how realistic they were. A great book for family home evening and a family keepsake for sure!

Celebrating A Christ-Centered Easter isn't like any other tradition book I've seen. It doesn't concentrate on the days leading up to Christ's crucifixion---it concentrates instead on the people who surrounded Christ before his crucifixion. Lazarus, Simon, the Women, Joseph and Nicodemus, and Thomas to name a few. I loved how the author took the individual experiences these people had with the Savior and suggested ways we can use their experience to better our own lives. The stories are made so personal and brought a whole new meaning to them. They were short chapters, but each one was filled with ideas and wisdom that I thought about long after I'd finished the book.
The author also includes short family home evening lessons you can do after each chapter which I really appreciated. I'm going to do the "forget" knot tonight.
I think this is a touching book that offers a unique perspective into our Easter traditions and what they could be. I loved the ideas, I loved that it is diverse enough for anyone to read---individuals or families. Definitely going on my keeper shelf! If you are looking for a way to make your Easter more meaningful, this is the book for you....more | <urn:uuid:72db0f81-8537-4945-9fea-f4da91d56f72> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/1303340-julie?shelf=read&sort=date_added | 2015-07-04T07:26:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375096579.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031816-00278-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.988138 | 2,507 |
Unlike government student loans, student loans issued by private lenders have been made to receive quick profits for the lenders. During the solid economic times we were used to, private student loans were sold in mass to investors. As a result, asset-backed securities backed by student loans grew from $3.1 billion in 1995 to $77.5 in 2005. Loan products were developed for this repackaging rather than helping hardworking college students who needed the help.
Student loans, especially private student loans, are almost always more expensive than federal government loans. Now this is definitely true for borrowers with lower credit scores or limited credit histories. An important detail to remember is that there are no loan limits that will help halt over-borrowing. Kind of like a bank with no over-draft protection. The annual amount of new private student loans killed the past decade as college tuition’s grew and the government set limits on its loans. Wall Street funded and profited from a dramatic surge in the marketing of expensive private loans to college students. In the middle of a recession that has put millions of Americans out of work, current and former students as well as their families need relief from mounting debt.
We need to fight to open the doors to higher education to low-income students by increasing the availability of grant aid and inexpensive loans funded or supported by the government. | <urn:uuid:22b032a9-af82-4b58-a040-dc66072a0a0d> | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | https://www.mayerandnewton.com/too-small-to-help/ | 2020-02-21T21:54:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875145538.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20200221203000-20200221233000-00200.warc.gz | en | 0.983029 | 274 |

In a recent interview with Batemans Bay Business and Tourism Chamber President David MacLachlan on 2EC and following his presentation to Councillors that the the Batemans Bay community deserves an iconic arts facility Eurobodalla Council have responded in an opinion piece published in the Bay Post June 7th, 2019 The Bay Post has published (June 7th, 2019) as a comment an edited extract of Eurobodalla Council's response to Batemans Bay Business and Tourism Chamber president David MacLachlan regarding a petition to keep the community centre that offers: "Council is well aware of Mr MacLachlan's view about the size of the theatre and the type of events the theatre can and should support. The initial business case for the Batemans Bay Aquatic, Arts and Leisure Centre at Mackay Park did recommend 500 seats. "However, following consultation with theatre specialist Richard Stuart, it was recommended that a theatre of 350 seats was most appropriate for Eurobodalla now and into the future. "Our research also included discussions with those responsible for similar facilities throughout NSW, ACT, Victoria, our neighbours in Shoalhaven, along with a range of touring theatre and performance companies. "Our theatre is proposed to have tiered seating for 350 and quality lighting, sound and fittings - the things theatre companies told us were important. They also told us they would prefer to stage a second show than perform in a half empty 1,000-seat facility. The new theatre will rightly serve a different function to other venues in Batemans Bay. "The new facility will never be a "glorified community centre". We have always aimed to accommodate the needs of the current Community Centre users in the new facility, knowing we might potentially sell or lease the community centre and visitor centre as an income stream for the new centre. Council knows those community centre users and their financial capacity. "Claims that Council will charge exorbitant fees for access to the facility are untrue. We want a vibrant space where everyone is welcome. "Finally, your assertion that architects have been designing the centre without a business case is incorrect. The business case was endorsed by Council well before NBRS Architecture was engaged. The discussion you refer to was about a concept of operations that outlines how spaces might be programmed, not the business case, which has been available on Council's website since 2017. (see the 2017 Otium Business Case HERE) "Council will continue to consider business and management matters as part of the design process, as per Council's resolved position."
Above: with decades of industry experience of managing profitable events Mr MacLachlan holds doubts that the financial model Council rests on to justify its decision of 350 seats holds water.
Above: Even at a projected 500 seats Otium's Business Case clearly shows a projected loss of $312,000 and climbing over a decade based on an assumption of • 12 productions • 55% of capacity sold for each performance at an average ticket price of $35 full and $22 concession of the total sold 30% full price and 25% concession noting that the ticket prices are used as an indicator only as some performances would be less i.e. children’s shows or morning music and others more expensive ie opera, large scale productions They also project 38,700 visitors per year to the theatre in their model - which means for the 12 performances projected that estimate 3,225 visits to each. Note that there are are two sets of hiring rates in the Business Case: Community @$700 per day and Standard/Commercial @$800 - fortunately anyone who presently uses the Batemans Bay Community Centre Hall that is hired out at $49.00 per hour will be able to look forward to a discount at the new Mackay Park centre that offers "For meetings and seminars only requiring one staff member the charge would be for 4 hours minimum at $160" | <urn:uuid:de84335c-eb94-4cf4-9de4-ce4078403408> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.beagleweekly.com.au/post/2019/06/07/council-response-to-bay-chamber-concerns-around-mackay-park | 2020-07-13T12:57:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657143365.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20200713100145-20200713130145-00046.warc.gz | en | 0.969732 | 788 |

Skiing in Scheffau
Scheffau is situated in the centre of the skiing area Wilder Kaiser-Brixental between Ellmau and Soll. Via the Brandstadl gondola lift you can explore all of this skiing area with its beautiful wide pistes. Scheffau is a quiet and pleasant village with a simple shopping centre and a skiing meadow for the children in the centre of the village. There are also many walking trails that have been set up around the Hintersteinersee. You can have a great time in the evenings in the various bars and restaurants. There is also the energetic après ski event at the indoor and outdoor skating rinks.
For the children there is also the Kinderkaiserland, here the children can learn to ski in a playful way. | <urn:uuid:91cadb5b-a7e2-497c-998e-0737bde86134> | CC-MAIN-2018-39 | https://www.sunweb.co.uk/ski/austria/wilder-kaiser-brixental/scheffau | 2018-09-19T23:02:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-39/segments/1537267156311.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20180919220117-20180920000117-00017.warc.gz | en | 0.93701 | 167 |
“Lehigh Valley families who are already struggling to afford gas, groceries and healthcare will soon be without a paycheck, but Dent will still get his $169,000 salary paid for by these taxpayers,” says Kathryn Seck, Bennett Campaign Manager. “Maybe he’s just too wrapped with lobbyist fundraisers in Washington to know what’s going on in his own district. Or did he know about it, tell no one, and do nothing?”
What Team Bennett is really saying is that Congressman Charlie Dent, Governor Rendell and Allentown Mayor Pawlowski have some sort of obligation to play sugar daddy to multinational corporations. After all, some of these handouts times might trickle down to the unwashed masses.
“Our unemployment rate is rising, but my opponent still expects to keep his own job,” says Sam Bennett, District 15 congressional candidate. “The folks I meet along the campaign trail are supporting me because I’ve actually run a businesses and created jobs in our community. And that’s the experience I’ll bring to Congress.”
North Carolina, unlike Pennsylvania, is a "right to work" state. Employees in those states can't be forced to pay union fees or dues, even if they work in a union shop like Mack. So does Bennett advocate changing that law to keep a company like Mack? Of course, the workers in voluntary union states have much lower incomes, but Big Business just loves it.
Congressman Dent did meet with Mack officials, and tried to persuade them to change course.
“I am deeply saddened and disappointed by the painful news of Mack Trucks relocating its world headquarters from Allentown to Greensboro, North Carolina. Mack’s history in Allentown extends over 100 years. The Mack Bulldog not only exemplified the strength of Mack Trucks, but the spirit of the workers. Mack’s closing will be especially painful to the City of Allentown.
I met with Mack officials last night and it appears this decision is irreversible. My primary concern is for the families who will be deeply affected by Mack’s move to Greensboro. Every option and resource must be made available to impacted workers to ensure their immediate needs are met.” | <urn:uuid:e1371039-70b9-4e8a-85da-af248bbd41a6> | CC-MAIN-2021-25 | https://lehighvalleyramblings.blogspot.com/2008/08/bennett-slams-dent-for-refusing-to-give.html | 2021-06-23T13:51:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-25/segments/1623488539480.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20210623134306-20210623164306-00393.warc.gz | en | 0.960951 | 471 |
Most city council meetings are procedural and a little on the dull side.
But anyone who’s been to a Seattle City Council meeting is familiar with two residents who always want to make a statement during the public comments.
These two are so difficult to deal with, the council is considering changes to its public testimony rules.
Sam Bellomio was recently slapped with a two week ban from public comment after calling one of the council members a name.
Bellomio often appears with Alex Zimmerman who frequently calls the council members and staff Nazis and other things.
Council members, for the most part, sit patiently waiting for time to tick down on the speakers.
The council wants to amend the public testimony rules so disruptive comments don’t infringe on other people’s rights to speak.
The Stranger reports the new, yet undefined guidelines, will govern repeated noncompliance with council rules for public comment. | <urn:uuid:567d4ab2-2948-45d1-9e48-64d7bc2dcdbd> | CC-MAIN-2016-50 | http://mynorthwest.com/5035/seattle-city-council-meetings-get-a-little-less-dull-when-these-guys-take-the-mic/ | 2016-12-10T10:40:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-50/segments/1480698543035.87/warc/CC-MAIN-20161202170903-00383-ip-10-31-129-80.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.952981 | 187 |

PyTorchSpiking provides tools for training and running spiking neural networks
directly within the PyTorch framework. The main feature is
pytorch_spiking.SpikingActivation, which can be used to transform
any activation function into a spiking equivalent. For example, we can translate a
non-spiking model, such as
torch.nn.Sequential( torch.nn.Linear(5, 10), torch.nn.ReLU(), )
into the spiking equivalent:
torch.nn.Sequential( torch.nn.Linear(5, 10), pytorch_spiking.SpikingActivation(torch.nn.ReLU()), )
Models with SpikingActivation layers can be optimized and evaluated in the same way as any other PyTorch model. They will automatically take advantage of PyTorchSpiking’s “spiking aware training”: using the spiking activations on the forward pass and the non-spiking (differentiable) activation function on the backwards pass.
PyTorchSpiking also includes various tools to assist in the training of spiking models, such as filtering layers.
If you are interested in building and optimizing spiking neuron models, you may also be interested in NengoDL. See this page for a comparison of the different use cases supported by these two packages.

Last week we kicked off our new feature, the ‘Video of the Week’ with a wonderful scene taken from the nose gear of a 747 that was flying freight in Africa. This week, the pilot and videographer uploaded a “How-To” video that shows just how those exceptional scenes were captured, and just how they managed to lower the nose gear without dropping the main landing gear at the same time.
While that’s not this week’s video of the week, we just couldn’t get away from Balleka’s YouTube channel just yet. I wanted to share a video he did from the perspective of the Flight Engineer or “FE.” The FE is in charge of that rather large panel that sits behind the pilots on older aircraft like the 727 and, in this case the 747-200. In this rather amusing video, the “FE” laments that he’s working with “Clowns to the left of him and Jokers to the right.”
Full disclosure: I was an FE for over 4 years and I can certainly relate. It’s a thankless job that doesn’t even offer the chance to hand-fly a landing at the end of the day-which is the best part of the trip.
So here’s Balleka’s tribute to the FE, called the FE’s Lament 2010. | <urn:uuid:6081b057-5347-4b04-9446-07d1eb50f9fc> | CC-MAIN-2022-21 | https://gadling.com/2010/03/12/video-of-the-week-3-12-10/ | 2022-05-20T05:03:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-21/segments/1652662531352.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20220520030533-20220520060533-00287.warc.gz | en | 0.971569 | 301 |
Ben Combes’ Commando Ninja is currently up and available for viewing over on YouTube. You can watch the hour long movie for free right now. The Kickstarted retro throwback hearkens back to the classic bad action films of the 1980s and early 1990s.
The movie doesn’t waste anytime, and it starts off with a bang back in 1968 in Vietnam. It makes its ways up through the 1980s and eventually into the 1990s. The story is about the Commando Ninja looking to get revenge after his wife gets killed and his daughter gets captured.
He teams up with his old Vietnam buddies to take down an evil Ninja organization led by a Jewish crime lord. You can check out the full movie below.
While Commando Ninja is definitely a parody of the bad-action genre, it’s far less over-the-top than Kung Fury.
There’s also a lot more boobs and gore than Kung Fury, putting it on par to Ubisoft’s Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon.
Speaking of Blood Dragon, Thomas Cappeau’s soundtrack borrows a lot from Power Glove’s timeless score for the first-person shooter. It fits in well with the movie’s overall mixture of blood, bullets, and blades.
There’s even an entire training montage dedicated to to how John Hunter managed to master becoming a ninja, which is one-part Kickboxer, one part Bloodsport and one part American Ninja, with a side order of Mad Max and Albert Pyun’s Cyborg. It’s a shame we don’t get more movies like this, but I guess you take what you can get while you can get it.
I love that while there’s definitely some satire in the film, it plays certain elements straight enough to make you care. It’s actually one of the better retro films in recent times and definitely worth a watch for anyone who values films that retain a sense of testosterone and feature heroes worth rooting for.
Also, the best line in the movie?

ISSUE: In most instances, children come to school ready to learn but with different cultural, educational, and environmental experiences to draw from. It is the responsibility of the educational system to meet children where they are and encourage and support their development from that point. To promote learning for all children, educators must provide a school environment that acknowledges children's diverse backgrounds, helps children transition comfortably into the next instructional level, and provides community supports when necessary. Such provisions support each child's readiness to learn as well as each school's readiness to educate young children.
OVERVIEW: The concept of school readiness has been defined and redefined over the years, resulting in differing viewpoints. Several theories of child development and learning have been used to explain the term. In fact, there appears to be two types of readiness: readiness to learn, which involves a level of development at which the child has the capacity to learn specific materials, and readiness for school, which involves a specific set of cognitive, linguistic, social, and motor skills that enables a child to assimilate the school's curriculum (Kagan, 1990; Crnic & Lamberty, 1994; Lewit & Baker, 1995). Early studies fostered the belief that children should have certain skills--such as being able to count or recite the alphabet--or that they should be able to conform to a set of desired behaviors before they enter kindergarten. Current research in the fields of early childhood education, child psychology, and neuroscience is changing what many researchers, practitioners, and parents have come to understand about child development and the learning process, however. Instead of placing the burden of readiness on children, educators are being challenged to reconsider traditional beliefs about the school's role in helping young children continue learning and succeed in the school culture (Southern Regional Education Board, 1994; Lamberty & Crnic, 1994, Katz, 1991). Recent studies on readiness, children, and schools indicate that there actually are two sides to the readiness issue: getting children ready for school and getting schools ready for children.
As part of the 1994 legislation Goals 2000: Educate America Act, the National Education Goals established a framework for improving education and helping schools support children's learning. The first goal of the National Education Goals relates to school readiness: "By the year 2000, all children in America will start school ready to learn." With the passage of Goals 2000, U.S. lawmakers acknowledged that many young children enter school unprepared to learn optimally and that school readiness should be a priority for the nation. The objectives of Goal 1: Ready to Learn note the importance of children's access to developmentally appropriate preschool programs; training and support for parents as their child's first teacher; and adequate nutrition, physical activity, and health care for children so they arrive at school with healthy minds and bodies. Meeting these objectives helps children get ready for school.
The National Education Goals Panel recognizes that "strengthening achievement requires not only getting children ready for school, but also getting schools ready for the particular children they serve" (Shore, 1998, p. 3). By coordinating efforts with families and community resources to address the needs of young children, educators can improve children's readiness for school (Kagan, 1994). Through school programs and strategies, educators can improve the school's readiness to promote optimal learning for all children (Southern Regional Education Board, 1994). Schools also must acknowledge the many individual differences between children and establish appropriate expectations for all children entering kindergarten (National Association for the Education of Young Children, 1995). All children are born learning, and schools are charged with the responsibility to nurture each child's learning potential and to provide opportunities for continued growth.
Tim Laner, a K-1-2 multiage teacher at Buckman Elementary School in Portland, Oregon, discusses how schools can provide learning experiences that nurture and build upon the experiences that each child has had. [448k audio file] Excerpted from a videotaped interview with Tim Laner (North Central Regional Educational Laboratory, 1998). A text transcript is available.
The National Association for the Education of Young Children (1995) discusses the need for universal school readiness in the NAEYC Position Statement on School Readiness. This statement makes the point that school readiness should not be determined solely by the capabilities of the child:
"The traditional construct of readiness unduly places the burden of proof on the child. Until the inequities of life experiences are addressed, the use of readiness criteria for determining school entry or placement blames children for their lack of opportunity. Furthermore, many of the criteria now used to assess readiness are based on inappropriate expectations of children's abilities and fail to recognize normal variation in the rate and nature of individual development and learning. NAEYC believes it is the responsibility of the schools to meet the needs of children as they enter school and to provide whatever services are needed in the least restrictive environment to help each child reach his or her fullest potential." (National Association for the Education of Young Children, 1995)
Central to the issue of school readiness is the discussion about when children should start school. Crnic and Lamberty (1994) note:
"The predominant conclusion of recent scholars addressing the issue of school readiness is that the only fair and ethical criterion for school readiness is a legal chronological age. Although arbitrary, it applies to everyone equally and removes the sole burden for readiness from the child."
Kagan (1990) points out that if the entry age is the same for all children and if individualized educational supports and services are provided, schools will have an equitable strategy that is sensitive to the differences between children. When children's needs are met, they are more likely to be successful in school.
Educators, parents or caregivers, and community members need to be aware of the factors that affect children's success in school. The National Association for the Education of Young Children (1995) states that the discussion of readiness must consider three critical factors:
Because of inequities in children's experiences and differences in their backgrounds, schools and and communities must pay attention to the factors that influence how families support readiness and the transition to school (Kagan, 1990; National Association for the Education of Young Children, 1995). Low maternal education, minority-language status, low family income, and family structure are important predictors of children's developmental accomplishments and difficulties (Zill, Collins, West, & Hausken, 1995). Low family socioeconomic status can limit the experiences, resources, health care, and the quality of child care available to children. Untraditional family structures or situations--such as foster care, single-parent families, or families who are migrant workers--also have an impact on children's early experiences. In addition, linguistic and cultural influences can affect a child's assimilation of the school culture.
To help equalize the differences in children's backgrounds, schools can work with community resources to meet the needs of children before they come to school. Katz (1992) notes, "The community, working with local preschools, adult education programs, children's librarians, and other similar agency and resource people, can help by providing experiences for preschoolers that help them make sense of their everyday worlds" (p. 4). Prior to approaching community agencies, schools should put together a team consisting of parents or caregivers, teachers, administrators, and interested individuals. This team can design a plan that illustrates the fit of community agencies in the school's efforts to address readiness issues. Collaboration, the prerequisite for school readiness and success, is necessary when schools reach out to work with families and the community. Collaboration among multiple stakeholders works best when strategies that build consensus are used and when channels of communication are open at all times.
Restructuring schools to support school-linked services is another way to meet the needs of children and families. Children who come to school healthy, with a variety of experiences to draw on and a strong support system in place, have a greater likelihood of succeeding in school. Schools can serve as a hub for the delivery of services by working with pediatricians and social service agencies to provide health care, parenting classes, and other resources. School administrators can take the lead in this approach through interactions with community groups and agencies that provide services for children.
Screening for school entry is one way to determine what supports or services a child might need. The measure being used should be one that has been norm-referenced on a population of children that includes children in the school. If a screening tool is used, educators must remember that screening should be used to identify children needing help--not to exclude children from programs for which they are eligible. The American Academy of Pediatrics (1995) cautions against such inappropriate use of school readiness tests. Rescreening at designated intervals also is important because young children change and grow so much in the early years (Hills, 1987). (Refer to the Critical Issue "Assessing Young Children's Progress Appropriately.")
Activities that connect schools with families and community groups can help parents seek out resources and know where to go for help when they need it. Supporting families' efforts to raise their children is important to ensure that children enter school ready to learn (National Association for the Education of Young Children, 1995).
Linda Espinosa, former director of primary education for the Redwood City (California) School District, and currently education professor at the University of Missouri, Columbia, talks about the importance of schools working with parents, families, and the community to meet children's needs. [364k audio file] Excerpted from Schools That Work: The Research Advantage, videoconference #5, Meeting Children's Needs (North Central Regional Educational Laboratory, 1992). A text transcript is available.
Besides working with families and the community to meet children's needs before they enter kindergarten, educators can develop specific programs and strategies that promote the school's readiness to ensure optimal learning for all children. The Ready Schools Resource Group, a committee convened by the National Education Goals Panel, has published the results of their research on the essential attributes of a "ready school" (Shore, 1998). That report, Ready Schools, identifies ten keys to ready schools. The keys recommend policies and strategies that schools can use to create learning environments for young children from preschool to Grade 3. Continuity and transition among home, early-care programs, and elementary schools are critical, as is a commitment by the school to ensure the success of every child through individualized programs as well as qualified teachers and staff who interact with the child. Approaches to help children explore and make sense of their world, especially approaches known to raise achievement, also are important. Other characteristics of ready schools are strong leadership as well as a willingness to take responsibility for results and to alter practices and programs if they do not benefit children.
Although the concept of continuity for young children makes sense, schools often do not take action to ease the transition of young children into kindergarten. Most American schools do not have a transition program in place (Shore, 1998). According to a national study, nearly half of U.S. elementary schools have no program for school visitation by parents or families of incoming kindergartners; only one in five of the nation's school districts uses a wide range of transition activities (Love, Logue, Trudeau, & Thayer, 1992). Such transition programs would be valuable throughout a child's early elementary experience.
The move from home, day care, or preschool to kindergarten or elementary school can be intimidating to even the most secure and confident children. They are leaving a familiar environment and being asked to spend time in a new place with virtual strangers. They are unsure of what to expect. Families often feel the same apprehension as they bring their young children to school. Children who are not native speakers of English or who come from low-income or minority families also may have to bridge a cultural gap (Shore, 1998). When there is a difference between the culture of the home and the culture of the school, teachers must be careful not to misread children's aptitudes, abilities, or intentions (Delpit, 1995).
Beth Rohloff, a K-1-2 multiage teacher at Buckman Elementary School in Portland, Oregon, notes that all children--regardless of their cultural, social, or economic background--are motivated to learn if their basic needs have been met.

To make the transition experience less traumatic and more beneficial to everyone, schools can adopt practices that support continuity. Such practices emphasize the importance of making connections between the school and the children's families and building on the development that has occurred in the home. "The influence of the family upon the child remains fundamental throughout these early years. It is important to link subsequent steps in children's education to their earlier experiences and to involve the parents in these activities," notes the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (1987). Through careful planning of continuity, schools can reap the benefits of facilitating transition for children, parents or caregivers, and teachers.
Schools must find ways to connect with children and families before the beginning of the school year. Preschools can help in preparing children for transition from preschool to kindergarten by arranging visits to the new school and discussing upcoming changes. Elementary schools also can focus on ways that families can help children make the transition comfortably. Activities such as conducting home visits, helping parents or caregivers get involved in family literacy programs, and inviting children and families to the school before the start of the school year help connect the families to the schools and ease the transition. Such activities also can help ease the transition between instructional levels as the children move through elementary school.
Keeping parents or caregivers informed of class activities and explaining the curriculum will help them understand what their children are learning in school and give them clearer ideas of how to support the effort at home. Parents are more actively involved in their child's education during the preschool years than any other time. Involving parents in the transition of their children from preschool to kindergarten is an important step in keeping them involved as their children grow older. When parents are treated as partners in this transition process, are able to participate in school activities, and can communicate openly with teachers, the transition is more likely to be a positive experience for the children. In addition, primary teachers who acknowledge and respect students' home cultures are more successful in encouraging parents to participate in their child's education (California Alliance for Elementary Education, 1996).
The emphasis on continuity remains important as the child progresses through school. Every move to the next instructional level is a transition for children. Communication between the child's current teacher and the next-level teacher helps to identify each child's strengths and needs as well as the best way to work with him or her (Southern Regional Education Board, 1994). This continuity also allows for a flow of knowledge and less of an interruption in the children's learning.
Maintaining ongoing communication between preschool and kindergarten staff is another way to promote continuity. "Elementary schools can help to ease the transition to kindergarten," notes Shore (1998), "by forging links with the community, feeder preschools, local Head Start programs, and all of the other settings where their kindergartners have spent their days, and by drawing on the best practices of the early childhood centers" (p. 8). Contact between the current teacher and the previous caregiver or teacher can provide continuity for children and families, help in developing programs for individual students, and align the curriculum across programs.
Even a relatively small amount of time spent finding out what children worked on prior to entering school produces benefits (Shore, 1998). The effort of the elementary school to contact and work with the early childhood program is more successful when there is support at the building and district administrative levels. Because preschool teachers and caregivers may have children who will attend several different elementary schools and primary teachers may have children coming from a number of feeder programs, developing a community transition program or network is helpful in this effort (U.S. Department of Human Services, 1987).
Another important part of transition is found in research that suggests that today's kindergartens are becoming overly focused on academic goals (Shepard, 1994); this trend can make transition from preschool to kindergarten even more difficult for students (Love, Logue, Trudeau, & Thayer, 1992; Eggertson, 1987). Katz (1996) states that when young children experience formal instruction that is too intense and abstract, they may learn the skills with some difficulty but may not develop the disposition to use that knowledge. The best early childhood classrooms are structured to provide a full range of curriculum and experiences for all children. In such classrooms, the teacher considers the developmental level of each child when planning instruction. A developmentally appropriate curriculum provides for the child's physical, emotional, social, linguistic, aesthetic, and cognitive growth; it builds upon what children know and fosters the acquisition of new skills (National Association for the Education of Young Children, 1996).
Linda Kunesh, former director of Early Childhood and Family Education at North Central Regional Educational Laboratory, discusses five developmentally appropriate practices that educators can use to promote school readiness. [448k audio file] Excerpted from the video series Schools That Work: The Research Advantage, videoconference #5, Meeting Children's Needs (North Central Regional Educational Laboratory, 1992). A text transcript is available.
Early childhood teachers can ready their classrooms for young children's learning. "Teachers of young children can create child-centered environments capable of accommodating each child's individual learning level. To do so may involve changes in attitude and behavior for some and a keener awareness of children's different developmental paces for others," notes the Southern Early Childhood Association (1993). Developmentally appropriate practices are important throughout the primary years. In early childhood classes that promote such practices, children participate in active learning experiences and learn through hands-on activities. The teacher ensures a balance between teacher-directed and child-directed activities using varied instructional techniques. Children spend time learning through curricular units, learning centers, an integrated curriculum, and the project approach in addition to class activities. A text transcript is available.
Schools also need to be ready to respond to the wide range of cultural and linguistic experiences children bring to school; this readiness can be accomplished through a modified curriculum that includes spontaneous dramatic play, arts and crafts, and small group work (Southern Early Childhood Association, 1993). Teaching with a multicultural perspective encourages children to appreciate and understand other cultures as well as their own (Gomez, 1991). By modeling positive behavior and setting the tone for class interaction, early childhood teachers can help children who are in the process of acquiring and strengthening social skills within the school setting (Katz & McClellan, 1991).
Staff development is an important way to ensure that educators are using developmentally appropriate practices to promote the school readiness of all children. Educators must have an understanding of the children in their classrooms as well as the type of curriculum and expectations that are appropriate.
Educators, parents, families, and community members need to give careful consideration to the fit between a kindergarten program and the child. They can advocate for kindergarten classrooms that accommodate the diverse needs of young children, promote continuity, provide a developmentally appropriate curriculum that responds to children, and maintain a healthy school-family relationship. Schools, families, and community resources all have the potential to influence children's readiness for school. By working together, they can address young children's needs prior to school entry and build on the children's unique strengths, experiences, and skills to nurture growth and success.
ACTION OPTIONS: Administrators, teachers, parents or caregivers, and community members can take the following steps to ensure that the school promotes the readiness of all children:
Parents or Caregivers and Community Members:
IMPLEMENTATION PITFALLS: The different ways in which schools, teachers, and families view the concept of school readiness may hinder attempts at changing the current practices of assessment of school readiness. School administrators may need to take the lead in providing current information and developing new policies on readiness.
Most kindergarten teachers have been trained to assess children's readiness for kindergarten, rather than the kindergarten classroom's readiness for children. As a result, the concept of classrooms being appropriate and ready for all children may be foreign to them. These teachers may be hesitant towards any efforts by the administration to change the current practices in assessing children's readiness. To promote teachers' understanding and cooperation, school administrators can take the lead in providing teachers with professional development that will enable them to become familiar with all aspects of readiness.
Schools often do not provide opportunities for teacher collaboration. Successful approaches for transition require that teachers have time to collaborate with other teachers and align the curriculum between instructional levels. Such collaboration helps teachers prepare children for the next instructional level. School administrators can provide joint planning time for kindergarten teachers and their colleagues in the primary programs. When teachers are asked to implement new approaches to assessing readiness, support from the administration and clear guidelines for implementation are key to gaining their cooperation.
When schools implement new approaches that directly affect the children they serve, they often forget to involve parents or caregivers as an integral part of the implementation process. As a result, families may regard changes in school practices with suspicion. They may believe they were left out of the decision-making process because the school does not value their opinions. Families who are included in the implementation process are more more informed about school activities and more likely to support the school's mission and practices.
When putting together a planning team to address readiness issues with the community, adequate time must be allowed for planning and collaborating. School representatives should have a carefully thought-out plan before beginning discussions with community agencies. When community agencies can see how their work fits in with that of the school, the plan may need to be altered accordingly.
DIFFERENT POINTS OF VIEW: Some parents and caregivers believe that educating children is the primary function of schools and teachers. Because teachers are trained and certified to teach, these families feel no need to involve themselves with the instructional tasks of the school. They also may think that schools are not set up to provide integrated services and should not be expected to address the diverse needs of the children they serve.
Some educators and others insist that the main function of kindergarten programs and teachers is to prepare young children for first grade. They say that 5-year-olds should enter kindergarten with certain cognitive skills (such as counting, reciting the alphabet, letter recognition, and simple word recognition), and a certain level of social and emotional maturity. They believe that the most effective way for kindergarten programs to assess young children's readiness for school is to administer standardized tests designed to measure children's cognitive skills and maturity. According to this viewpoint, decisions about young children's school enrollment should be based on their performance on such tests.
Some families believe that a child who is older and has developed more skills will be more successful in kindergarten than other entering children. This belief often leads families to delay their child's entrance into kindergarten or first grade. The work of Arnold Gesell (1940) and other maturationists supports practices such as delaying a child's entrance into kindergarten if he or she is the youngest in the entering class, and keeping a child in kindergarten for an extra year or placing the child in a transition kindergarten program as opposed to allowing the child into first grade. These practices sometimes are employed by families and schools when they believe that a young child is developmentally immature or will benefit from being held back.

Venice Beach, aka “Muscle” Beach is a great place to take your children (or yourself) if you feel like you have lived a sheltered life. From the homeless tents, to the different types of people, you will find it very eye-opening. It is called “Muscle” Beach because there is a section with outdoor weight lifting, basketball, hand ball, skate board park, etc… We rented bikes, and went up and down the strip.
ETIQUETTE TIP: When biking, if you are going slow, stay to the right. If you need to pass people, please do so on the left. Also, people are not aware of their surroundings, which I consider a breach of good etiquette – a lot of people were walking in the bike lane. It made it a lot harder to bike since you had to dodge pedestrians.
There are also a lot of little t-shirt type shops, and vendors set up selling unusual items. And yes, you can actually lay out on the beach and enjoy the water and sunshine. | <urn:uuid:3ebc98ac-b4eb-45db-90e4-163fc3460619> | CC-MAIN-2019-39 | https://travel.elisemcveigh.com/tag/muscle-beach/ | 2019-09-19T22:53:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-39/segments/1568514573759.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20190919224954-20190920010954-00316.warc.gz | en | 0.977896 | 221 |

The Great Salt Lake is an interesting ecosystem to study due to the organisms that inhabit this saline environment and due to the impact humans have had on this ecosystem. In 1952, a causeway was built to replace an existing railroad trestle. Unlike, the previous trestle, the new causeway does not allow circulation of water between the two sides of the Great Salt Lake.

This 2 week curriculum module gives middle and high school students an introduction to 1) the concept of systems (aka networks), 2) using software tools to analyze networks, and 3) using both experimentation and networks as a way to define hypotheses and test outcomes.
The development of network concepts for students begins with a highly interactive inquiry into cell phone networks. Cell phones serve as a handy knowledge base on which to develop understanding. Each cell phone represents a node, and each phone’s address book represents an edge, or the calling relationships between cell phones.
Energy flows in one direction and is stored in matter.
Trophic levels indicate an organism’s position on a food chain. The amount of available energy decreases as it progresses through food chains; the total amount of available energy in a trophic level is less in higher trophic levels than in lower trophic levels.
An increase in salinity allows for an increase in halobacteria population size. The reliability of data increases with an increase in the size of the data pool/set. To draw reliable conclusions, multiple trials/replicates should be performed.
Halobacterium are extremophiles thriving in high saline environments. An ecological disturbance in a single abiotic or biotic factor could affect an entire ecosystem. Natural events and human activities affect the Earth’s capacity to sustain biological diversity. Spectrophotometers are used to measure cell density.
The students will be introduced to two different pieces of equipment, the micropipette and the spectrophotometer. Both of these instruments will be used in a future investigation.
The students will be presented with a real life example of an event that affected the Great Salt Lake ecosystem – the building of a causeway. Based on observations of this phenomenon, students will generate hypotheses about factors affecting the growth of one prominent organism in this ecosystem, Halobacterium. | <urn:uuid:8b7706df-6dec-479c-a760-4942b48e0e89> | CC-MAIN-2020-50 | https://see.isbscience.org/category/ecological-networks/ | 2020-11-24T00:28:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-50/segments/1606141169606.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20201124000351-20201124030351-00164.warc.gz | en | 0.896783 | 543 |

This is the year where most of my friends have decided to settle down and start up a family.
It is the PEAK MOMENT of fertility they say. It's time to REPRODUCE!!!!
Therefore you'll see my blog post flood with wedding entries soon.
Roughly three (3) weeks ago, it was Ashvinder's wedding in Ipoh Perak.
I took a bus straight to KL right after work, that Friday.
The moment I arrived KL, it was almost midnight.
It was tiring. I no longer possess all the extra energies which I used to have back in Uni days.
I get pretty exhausted easily now.
Maybe it is time for me to get married soon too? Sebab dah tua kot.
(any prince charming who is willing to propose me with a 10 carat diamond ring? *teeehhhee*)
Dream on Ruby.
So the plan was to meet up with Nicole and Amirul once I arrived Subang Jaya.
We lepak-ed the entire night like there is no tomorrow. Tapi I dah mau mampos separuh jalan sebab mengantuk gila-gila.
We had supper in kedai Mamak. Then ronda-ronda KAYYYEELLLEE!!
Most of the roads were blocked that day because apparently OBAMA was in town.
Aku dah lah penat, si Amirul pula nak ronda-ronda. Nicole pula kata 'the night is still young'.
-_________- there is no such thing as the 'night is still young' once you've started working.
By the time the clock strikes 10pm, it is time for bed. Well that is how my daily routine works.
I wouldn't want to be the spoil sport. So I pun ikut je la ronda-ronda. Tengok permandangan bandar KAYYYELLLEEE *ehem* yang penuh dengan kesesakan lalu lintas.
Then Amirul did a wrong turning and we got stuck in Bukit Bintang area for 30 minutes.
Yeap there goes my 30 minutes.
The beautiful night view.
We slept around 3am and I woke up around 7.30am while the other two were still sleeping like a pig.
Then we had our breakfast before heading to Perak.
I ordered a plate of nasi lemak with telur, a roti canai and a cup of iced milo.
The two of them were looking at me as if I am some sort of monster.
They said "Ehh you can finish mehhh order so a lot?"
Woooowwww did I just heard that from Amirul's mouth?
I knew that if I couldn't finish my food up, there is always a 'tukang sapu' to help me habiskan my food.
I love you Amirul xoxo.
Amirul was about to eat his food when he was stopped by Nicole Lee.
Nicole : Ehhhh stopp amirul! I want to take a picture first.
Amirul : ohhhh okay.
And that was his expression when Nicole took a couple of minutes just to take 'a picture'.
Amirul the drama king.
And off we go!
The wheel on the bus go round and round~
Round and round~
All through the town~
Selfie at the pit stop!
We are here, finally!
After the event ended, we headed to Golden Roof Hotel.
The hotel is quite nice wor.
Purple is my new favorite colour.
Waiting to be checked in.
This is our room.
Cost only RM160+ a night.

Terrorism has to be wiped out militarily and cannot be tackled politically. That’s the basic premise of the Rajapakse Model.
Conduct of Operations
This is how the Sri Lankan government described (through a Ministry of Defence Press Release) the war strategy of its defence forces on May 18, 2009 after the annihilation of the LTTE.
“Security forces have marked a decisive victory in the humanitarian operations launched against terrorism by killing almost all senior cadres of the LTTE. The security forces commenced this humanitarian operation in August 2006 by liberating the Maavil Aru Anicut with the objective of wiping out terrorism from the country. An area of 15,000 square kilometres was controlled by the LTTE terrorists by 2006. Now the forces have completely liberated the entire territory of Sri Lanka from the LTTE terrorists. After liberating the Eastern Province from the clutches of terrorism on the 11th of July in 2007, the troops launched the Wanni humanitarian operation to liberate the innocent civilians from the terrorists in 2007.”
Security forces have marked a decisive victory in the humanitarian operations launched against terrorism by killing almost all senior cadres of the LTTE.
“The operation was launched by three battle fronts. On March 2007, the 57th Division of the Army under the command of Major General Jagath Dias commencing its operations from Vavuniya marched towards the North. They gained control of the Kilinochchi town on the 2nd of January this year, which was considered as the heartland of the LTTE. In parallel to this, the 58th division, then Task Force One, commanded by Brigadier Shavendra Silva commenced its operations from the Silavathura area in Mannar in the western coast of the island. After capturing Poonaryne and gaining total control along the western coast the Division moved towards Paranthan. Subsequently, the 58th Division then captured Elephant Pass, Paranthan, Kilinochchi, Sundarapuram, Pudukudiyiruppu and finally the eastern coast of the country. The 58th Division has recorded the most number of victories against the LTTE during the course of the humanitarian operation. The 59th division of the Army, commanded by Major General Nandana Udawatta opened another battle front in Welioya area in January 2008. The troops of this division achieved a land mark victory on the 25th of January this year by capturing the LTTE administrative hub, Mullaitivu.”
“Meanwhile, the 53rd and 55th Divisions of the Army supervised by Major General Kamal Gunarathne and Brigadier Prasanna Silva respectively, conducted their operations beyond the Muhamale and Nagar Kovil Forward Defence Line. They consolidated Elephant Pass and Chalai, marking the liberation of the entire Jaffna peninsula from the terrorists. A total of five Divisions and four Task Forces were engaged in operations against the LTTE in the recent past. Entering the last phase of the Wanni humanitarian operations troops of the 53rd, 55th, 58th and 59th Divisions jointly conducted the world’s largest hostage rescue operation and liberated nearly 263,000 civilians by yesterday (May 17, 2009) morning. With liberating all the civilians held as hostages by the LTTE the military operations against the LTTE have reached a decisive juncture with the security forces entrapping the top LTTE rankers to a small patch of land in Mullativu. The Army has launched massive attacks targeting leaders of the LTTE since last night. Almost all top LTTE leaders were killed in these attacks and the troops have also recovered all their bodies.”
“The Air Force, the Navy as well as the Police also contributed a lot for the success of these operations. Destroying of ten ships of the LTTE considered as floating arms storages could be defined as another significant achievement by the Navy. This helped a lot to destroy the military strength of the terrorists. The Navy also implemented a special marine security programme to avert possible escape of LTTE leaders via sea routes. Parallel to this, the Air Force carried out accurate air raids on identified LTTE targets. Indicating the accuracy of the air raids of the Sri Lankan Air Force, on 2nd of November 2007, then LTTE political head Thamil Selvan and four senior LTTE cadres were killed in an air raid. By transporting injured troops and their requirements the Air Force played a pivotal role in the fight against terrorism. Parallel to this the Police secured the law and order of the country by averting LTTE activities to disrupt the day to day life in the south. Detaining LTTE suspects and recovery of large hauls of weapons by the Police was another reason for the success of the Wanni humanitarian operation.”
This official version of the war operations by the Ministry of Defence was released after being vetted by Defence Secretary Gothabaya Rajapakse. Careful planning and crafty military tactics led to the swift and surgical defeat and elimination of the LTTE. Even as the Ceasefire Agreement (CFA) was called off in January 2008, the Sri Lankan armed forces were well stocked with multi-barrel rocket launchers, heavy artillery, precision guided missiles and bunker busters. Between 2002 and 2005 the recorded violations of the CFA by the LTTE stood at 3,800 while the government committed 350 violations. After two major attacks by the LTTE in the North and the East and the assassination attempt of General Sarath Fonseka by a pregnant suicide bomber, President Mahinda Rajapakse ordered the commencement of military operations to militarily eliminate the LTTE. In 2007 the East was liberated and Karuna, a LTTE child soldier who grew up to take over as the terror outfit’s Eastern Commander, and then eventually broke away in 2004, was made the Chief Minister of the eastern province.
By December 2008 the Sri Lankan Air Force had launched 400 air strikes. The LTTE realized that it had under-estimated the resolve and resources of the Sri Lankan Army and that it just did not have the depth to fight a conventional war. So as the military advanced, the LTTE retreated taking the civilians with them. When the troops marched into Kilnochchi, the HQs of the LTTE, it was a ghost town. By April 2009 the LTTE along with its civilian captives were boxed in a 12 km stretch of coastal land, which the government declared as a No Fire Zone. It was declared as a civilian safety zone, which basically meant that the military would not resort to heavy artillery bombardment inside this zone to avoid civilian casualties. The daring military operation to rescue the entrapped civilians and the eventnal killing of the top LTTE leadership is described by the Sri Lankan government as the “biggest humanitarian operation” in the world. It is indeed one of the most fascinating surgical military operations ever undertaken. Eventually 300,000 civilians were liberated and housed in the Menik Relief Camps in Vavuniya. In the early days of April 2009 the official government estimate was merely 70,000.
So how did the military prise open the human shield, liberate the civilians and get to the LTTE leadership? Here’s the inside story. By the third week of April, the LTTE along with their civilian captives were bottled up in a rectangular 12 km No Fire Zone (NFZ) coastal stretch, with the Nanthi Kadal (lagoon) on the West and the Indian Ocean on the East. The Navy had set up a marine cordon sanitaire and the army laid siege on the land with troops of the 59 Division covering the West and Southern sides of the lagoon and the 53, 55 and 58 Divisions choking North and North-West approaches. The objective of the military operation was to bifurcate this last coastal stretch under LTTE occupation to facilitate the escape of entrapped civilians. The long coastal stretch from South of Chalai, once a major Sea Tiger base, to Karayamullivaikai was already under army control. On April 18, 2009 Lt General Sarath Fonseka spent his day at the Field Headquarters confabulating with his core team of army commanders and studying the aerial surveillance visuals taken by the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) of the Sri Lankan Air Force. But what was critical to the success of the Army was the stupendously brave and accurate ground intelligence gathering by troops of the Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol (LRRP). Elements from LRRP had infiltrated the NFZ where the LTTE was holed up disguised as civilians and these army intelligence operatives provided the crucial inside information that eventually proved crucial for the success of the military operations.
From the Field HQ in Vauniya, General Fonseka hooked up on the army line with Brigadier Shavendra Silva, one of the illustrious war heroes of Sri Lanka. He told Brigadier Silva that the plan to launch the “biggest hostage rescue operation” in the world was final and that he was being tasked to execute it. Brigadier Silva, commander of the 58 Division, by then had already accumulated a trail of glorious battle milestones from Mannar in the West Coast to Mullaitivu in the East.
The plan was simple: Breach the LTTE’s Defence Lines and create a safe passage for the entrapped civilians to escape.
The 58 Division, positioned just 300 metres away from the NFZ, had faced the brunt of LTTE suicide attacks for more than a week as the LTTE desperately tried to prevent the army’s final assault. Waves of suicide bombers tried to breach 58 Divisions defences at Velayanmadam, Puthumatallan and east of Puthukkudiyirippu. But the brave soldiers of this Division continued their formidable and aggressive hold of the Forward Defence Line. Brigadier Silva was given a free hand to put together his best team for the final assault on the LTTE to free the trapped Tamil civilians. The 9th Gemmu Watch Battalion, 8th Gajaba Battalion, 11th Sri Lanka Light Infantry Battalion, the 2nd Commando Battalion under the command of Colonel Ralph Nugera and 1st Special Forces Battalion under the command of Colonel Athula Kodippili were handpicked for the rescue operation.
The plan was simple: Breach the LTTE’s Defence Lines and create a safe passage for the entrapped civilians to escape. But this was easier said than done because the LTTE had built a three kilometer earth wall or bundh from Puthumatallan to Ampalavanpokkanai. Behind this earth wall were the bulk of the civilians who were being used as human shields. Three attack formations were constituted. The Alpha Group comprising the 2nd Commando troops along with the 8th Gajaba Battalion were tasked to attack the northern edge of the earth bundh. The Bravo Group comprising 1st Special Forces and the 11th Sri Lankan Light Infantry were to assault the southern edge of the earth bundh and the 9th Gemmu Watch Battalion, the Charlie Group, was tasked to clear a safe passage for civilian egress.
On a dark Sunday night, April 18, at 11.40 pm, the rescue operation began as all assault formations equipped with night vision devices quietly waded through the Nanthi Kadal lagoon, advancing deep into enemy lines. The troops were given 2 am as the H Hour to reach the earth bund. The moment the troops reached the bundh they engaged the LTTE guard positions on the earth wall. The LTTE offered stiff resistance firing mortars and heavy artillery, but were soon overpowered by superior tactics and reinforcements from the 58 Division. Even as the troops overran LTTE defences, the Charlie Group of the 58 Division cleared mines and IEDs and provided covering fire for the civilians to rush over to government controlled territory secured by 55 Division. Immediately, check points were set up to screen the escaping civilians to ensure that LTTE suicide bombers didn’t cross over in the melee. As dawn broke on April 19, more than 41,000 civilians had crossed over into army controlled area north of Puthumatalan. On same day again in the dead of the night the second phase of the operation was launched to cut off the LTTE’s access to the coast as troops of the 58 Division tried to link up with troops of the 55 Division advancing along the coast.
By now the LTTE had been squeezed into a 5 km zone with its access to sea severely constrained.
The link-up of the two army divisions eventually happened by Wednesday – April 21, 2009. By then more than 100,000 civilians had escaped from the LTTE’s clutches. Amongst them were Daya Master, LTTE media spokesman and George Master, English Translator of the LTTE leadership. As they crossed over the army check point at Puthumatalan, a civilian spotter employed by the Army identified them and immediately alerted the troops. The duo were immediately taken into custody and transported to Colombo for interrogation. Hundreds of LTTE fighters disguised as civilians also crossed over into army controlled area. Many including child soldiers were apprehended. At the last count more than 3,000 LTTE cadres were arrested as they tried to cross over from the NFZ as civilians.
By now the LTTE had been squeezed into a 5 km zone with its access to sea severely constrained. Exactly a month after the rescue operation was launched the LTTE was exterminated on May 18, 2009. Two days before this momentous development the LTTE tamely admitted defeat, marking the end of Asia’s longest running civil war that left approximately more than 70,000 dead in pitched battles, suicide attacks, bomb strikes and assassinations. On May 16, 2009 Selvarasa Pathmanathan, the LTTE’s chief of international relations, said in a statement on the pro-rebel Tamilnet website that the war was at “its bitter end”. “We have decided to silence our guns. Our only regrets are for the lives lost and that we could not hold out for longer,” he added, calling for peace negotiations. But the military refused to let up in their offensive, saying troops were pushing on to recapture “every inch of land” held by the LTTE, which at that point in time was estimated at less than a square kilometre (half a square mile) of jungle. Forty eight hours later it was all over as the government information department sent out a text message to cell phones across the country announcing the killing of Prabhakaran along with his top deputies, Sea Tigers Commander Soosai and LTTE’s intelligence chief, Pottu Amman.
The Eight Fundamentals of Victory
The news about the killing of Prabhakaran sparked mass celebrations around the country, and people poured into the streets of Colombo, dancing and singing. Looking back at the war General Fonseka made two insightful observations that must surely resonate in the minds of military strategists dealing with terrorism and insurgency in other parts of the world. The first is on the commitment of the political leadership to eliminate terror.
Eelam IV war began as a poll-promise. President Mahinda Rajapakse rode to power four years ago vowing to annihilate the LTTE. In the early hours of Tuesday the fight for Eelam, a separate homeland for the Tamils in Sri Lanka, begun in 1983 ended in a lagoon, the Nanthi Kadal. Vellupillai Prabhakaran’s dead body, eyes wide open, top portion of the head blown off, the thick bushy moustache in place, was found in the lagoon by the Sri Lankan forces looking for remnant LTTE stragglers.
In the President’s Office in Colombo officials talk about the ‘Rajapakse Model’ (of fighting terror). “Broadly, win back the LTTE held areas, eliminate the top LTTE leadership and give the Tamils a political solution.” Sunimal Fernando, one of Rajapakse’s advisors, says that the President demonstrated a basic resolve: “given the political will, the military can crush terrorism.” This is not as simple as it sounds. Like most poll promises he did not have plans to fulfil his promise to militarily defeat the LTTE. Eelam I to III were miserable failures. So the ‘Rajapakse Model’ evolved, it was not pre-planned. | <urn:uuid:e9007450-71e9-4c07-9f14-de317ee2a7d1> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://www.indiandefencereview.com/spotlights/lessons-from-the-war-in-sri-lanka/ | 2023-12-08T20:09:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100769.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20231208180539-20231208210539-00499.warc.gz | en | 0.964554 | 3,421 |

Whilst this debut album from YYY might be genre-hopping, musical gene-splicing, sonic scatter gun of sounds and ideas, the more you play it the more you are drawn less to the mad eclecticism and more to its common factors. Less to the building blocks and more to the cement…as it were.
There is an obvious connective eastern vibe of bass drones and temple sounds, tabla drums and chant like vocals, but as seen through a heavy, hippy, psychedelic prism. And behind the music itself is an exploration of isolation and self-reflection, agoraphobia and perhaps even a gradually edging towards madness.
But amongst the more claustrophobic sounds of songs such a I.philia and Belayted are tracks which seem more content to conform, such as the trippy Keep Off The Lawn, the groovy and positively chipper UU and the late Beatle-esque touches of Cool World.
Aquadungeonafterdark is a strange place, but strange is good right? Strange isn’t boring, strange isn’t conformist, strange isn’t predictable, strange is exploratory, strange is original, strange is new.
Yes, as I said, Aquadungeonafterdark is a strange place, but I can think of plenty of worse places to be right now. | <urn:uuid:481b7055-f0e0-4826-a03f-4a824bb3b902> | CC-MAIN-2020-50 | https://dancing-about-architecture.com/aquadungeonafterdark-yyy-reviewed-by-dave-franklin/?shared=email&msg=fail | 2020-12-01T20:35:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-50/segments/1606141681524.75/warc/CC-MAIN-20201201200611-20201201230611-00237.warc.gz | en | 0.944321 | 284 |

Chateauneuf, 52, did not pull nomination papers when they became available July 5, leading some in the city government to wonder about his plans. In an interview with The Republican, he did not give a reason for his decision.
He was elected in 2007 as a write-in candidate after Melissa L. Zawadzki, the city’s current treasurer, opted not to seek a second term as a councilor.
Chateauneuf said he made his decision not to seek reelection upon learning there are now six candidates for the four at-large seats. He said he wants his tenure to end as quietly as he began it.
He said he has enjoyed his work with the council and hopes to continue contributing to the city he’s called home since 1991, but “not in the forefront of the political scene.”
“I don’t feel like I had any struggles other than trying to do what’s best for all concerned,” Chateauneuf said.
Chateauneuf, a retired South Hadley police officer, chairs the council’s Ordinance Subcommittee and sits on the Appointments Subcommittee. He cited his work on the city’s stretch code and sign ordinance among his achievements.
Councilor At-Large Andrea H. Burns said Chateauneuf will be missed on the council.
“Ron is one of the most thoughtful, most thorough, most fair, hardest-working councilors that I’ve worked with,” said Burns. “I don’t think there can be anybody who has his perspective.”
Burns said Chateauneuf had a principled approach in which he may have compromised on details of the matters before the council, but never on his values.
“He obviously voted his conscience,” Burns said.
Chateauneuf faced personal attacks from residents during the hearings on the sign ordinance, Burns said, but was never swayed by emotions or outside pressures.
“The sign ordinance became a crucible for everything that government does to impede business,” she said. “He accepted it. He listened and took into account what (residents’) opinions and feelings were, but he didn’t let it throw him off.”
Chateauneuf has endorsed former police captain Donald C. Emerson for one of the at-large seats. He said he will help Emerson in his campaign if needed.
“He’s always been very even-tempered and he seems very fair-minded,” he said of Emerson.
Running for four at-large seats in the election's only contest so-far are Emerson, Burns, City Council President Joseph P. McCoy, Planning Board member Chester A. Ogulewicz, Jr., former selectman Donald Polonis and incumbent Donald L. Cykowski.
Nomination papers are due Sept. 20. McCoy and Ogulewicz were the only at-large candidates certified for the ballot as of Monday. | <urn:uuid:d593c1ae-2d39-45d0-b795-0e0dc27eb6ec> | CC-MAIN-2014-15 | http://www.masslive.com/politics/index.ssf/2011/08/easthampton_city_councilor_at-.html | 2014-04-16T06:16:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-15/segments/1397609521512.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20140416005201-00412-ip-10-147-4-33.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.986162 | 639 |

Nov. 3 (UPI) — A new DNA-based molecular tagging system could change the way goods, from vaccines to textbooks, are tracked.
The trackable plastic tags commonly found on clothes do more than prevent retail theft.
Radio frequency identification — and other tracking technologies like barcodes and QR codes — helps manufacturers, logistics operators, transportation coordinators and warehouse managers keep tabs on inventory. In hospitals, tracking technologies help ensure the right medicines get to the right patients.
Though ubiquitous, these traditional methods for tracking products have plenty of flaws. Tags can be damaged or removed. For some applications, they’re too bulky, impractical and not easily scaled.
Enter Porcupine, the new molecular tagging system developed by researchers at the University of Washington and Microsoft.
Buoyed by recent developments in DNA sequencing technologies and portable sensors, Porcupine utilizes dehydrated strands of synthetic DNA in place of radio frequency tags or barcodes.
Researchers suggest their solution — described Tuesday in the journal Nature Communications — is inexpensive and easy to use.
“Molecular tagging is not a new idea, but existing methods are still complicated and require access to a lab, which rules out many real-world scenarios,” lead author Kathryn Doroschak said in a news release.
“We designed the first portable, end-to-end molecular tagging system that enables rapid, on-demand encoding and decoding at scale, and which is more accessible than existing molecular tagging methods,” said Doroschak, a doctoral student at the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science and Engineering.
Researchers used DNA strands called molecular bits, or “molbits,” to produce code combinations that can be integrated into longer DNA fragments, while still being easily unraveled and sequenced later.
Different digital tags are created via the presence or absence of each of 96 different molbits along a string of binary zeros and one.
“We wanted to prove the concept while achieving a high rate of accuracy, hence the initial 96 barcodes, but we intentionally designed our system to be modular and extensible,” said co-author Karin Strauss.
“With these initial barcodes, Porcupine can produce roughly 4.2 billion unique tags using basic laboratory equipment without compromising reliability upon readout,” said Strauss, senior principal research manager at Microsoft Research.
By prefabricating and dehydrating the DNA strands, researchers were able to create a relatively inexpensive and secure tagging system.
The tags can be easily mixed and matched to create new codes and, because the tags are so small, they can’t be easily removed, adding an extra layer of security.
“Unlike existing inventory control methods, DNA tags can’t be detected by sight or touch. Practically speaking, this means they are difficult to tamper with,” said senior author Jeff Nivala.
“This makes them ideal for tracking high-value items and separating legitimate goods from forgeries. A system like Porcupine could also be used to track important documents. For example, you could envision molecular tagging being used to track voters’ ballots and prevent tampering in future elections,” said Nivala, a research scientist at the Allen School.
To demonstrate the new system, researchers used molbits to create a tag featuring the initials of their lab, MISL. After rehydrating the tag, researchers used a portable nanopore device to successfully decode the tag.
“Porcupine is one more exciting example of a hybrid molecular-electronic system, combining molecular engineering, new sensing technology and machine learning to enable new applications,” said co-author Luis Ceze, a professor in the Allen School. | <urn:uuid:34dd8914-b064-4102-81ec-2336f0b377cc> | CC-MAIN-2021-04 | http://commonnewsupdate.com/dna-based-molecular-tagging-system-could-replace-printed-barcodes/ | 2021-01-18T15:00:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-04/segments/1610703514796.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20210118123320-20210118153320-00673.warc.gz | en | 0.887554 | 770 |
BEIJING, Feb. 23: China said on Thursday that the strategic dialogue with India, which took place on Wednesday, proved to be hugely successful resulting in "extensive agreements". The upgraded strategic dialogue involved two teams of officials with the Indian delegation led by foreign secretary of India S Jaishankar and China's executive vice foreign minister Zhang Yesui leading a group of Chinese officials.
"The two sides had an in-depth exchange and comprehensive exchange of views and reached extensive agreements," Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said at the ministry's regular briefing today. Officials on both sides "reached extensive consensus" while accepting the fact that "China and India have extensive converging interests and huge potential for cooperation," he said.
Jaishankar told Indian journalists on Wednesday that the strategic dialogue covered a wide range of issues, and resulted in better understanding of each other's perceptions on world affairs. But India was still strying to persuade China to change its stand on some sensitive issues while Beijingstruck to its opposition on censuring Pakistan based terrorist, Masood Azhar at the sanctions committee of the United Nations Security Council, and allowing India to become a member of the Nuclear Suppliers' Group.
At Thursday's briefing, Shuang also said that "the dialogue reached the goals as expected, and is of positive significance for bilateral relations". The governments of the two countries charted out a programme for improving relationship in different areas in 2017 and advance "practical cooperation, strengthen coordination and cooperation on regional and international issues".
"The sound and steady development of India-China relations is in the fundamental interest of both countries and their peoples", he said. "The overall impression is this dialogue was held in a friendly atmosphere." he added.
Government departments in India and China will continue discussing several topics which came up during the strategic dialogue. They included issues like anti-terrorism, India's desire to join the NSG and Afghanistan's reconstruciton and development. (TOI)

KOCHVILLE TWP. — Kyla Kane, a freshman at Saginaw Valley State University, believes the recent ban on alcohol energy drinks is for the best.
“I heard (the drinks) are bad for your cardiovascular system,” said the 18-year-old from Frankenmuth. “It messes with your whole body.”
The Michigan Liquor Control Commission set a ban on alcohol energy drinks Thursday.
The beverages are popular among young people and colleges students. The drink Four Loko sent several young people to the hospital in recent weeks and has raised alarm across the country.
Kane said she doesn’t know anyone who knows students who were hospitalized from the beverages, but the trend may continue despite the ban. She said many students mix energy drinks like Monster with alcohol.
Although Kane agreed with the ban, she said, people have the right to do harmful things, such as smoking, to themselves.
The commission is issuing orders notifying four manufacturers that sell the drinks in Michigan, which will then have 30 days to remove 55 products sold in the state. Stores and distributors for the products may continue to sell through existing inventory during the phase-out period, according to officials. | <urn:uuid:1b8944f4-ee4c-4c12-a202-85bdf2b716f4> | CC-MAIN-2014-42 | http://www.mlive.com/news/saginaw/index.ssf/2010/11/svsu_student_believes_alcohol.html | 2014-10-22T04:20:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-42/segments/1413507445299.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20141017005725-00167-ip-10-16-133-185.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.964671 | 252 |
Question by contact me: do dogs have same health problems as sugar gliders?
Answer by EssJay
Two entirely different species. Dogs are carnivores, sugar gliders are mnarsupials. Both have different needs, have evolved differently, to eat different foods, etc.
Whilst they may suffer from some similar health problems, these two species cannot be compared in the same way.

LUDHIANA: The city level technical committee on Thursday gave approval to the allotment
of tenders for the construction of mobile toilets
to a private firm. As many as three companies had participated in the tendering process on Wednesday. The MC had earlier allotted the work to a firm that could not start the work following which the civic body forfeited its earnest money and the tenders were floated again.
One of the directors of LSCL
(Ludhiana Smart City
Limited) Sanjay Goel shared that the mobile toilets are to be constructed at various locations in city for which now tenders have been floated at Rs 3.70 crores. After getting approval from city level technical committee the proposal would be sent to the state level technical committee for final approval.
Meanwhile other projects that came up for discussions during the meeting included public bike sharing project, junctions improvement project, multi-level car parking project and cycle tracks at Focal Point. The representatives from AECOM, the consultant for LSCL were asked to complete the project reports as soon as possible.
LSCL also floated new tenders for 24x7 water supply project in selected areas. Earlier joint tenders had been floated for water supply, sewerage and disposal which were found to be technically wrong. Now tenders have been floated separately for three projects. Along with this, the construction of building of integrated command and control centre has also been initiated. This command and control centre will help in keeping check on various services being provided by MC under one roof. For internal set up, the MC has floated tenders for hiring agency on Wednesday.
The chief executive officer of LSCL cum additional commissioner MC Sanyam Aggarwal said, “The smart city projects have picked up the pace and in the next few months more projects would shape up to turn into a reality.” Making sense of 2019 #ElectionswithtimesView Full Coverage | <urn:uuid:81658152-fbae-4767-ad10-bf7539bdb72b> | CC-MAIN-2019-18 | https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/ludhiana/mobile-toilets-under-smart-city-project-to-be-reality-soon/articleshow/66959587.cms | 2019-04-26T05:59:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-18/segments/1555578760477.95/warc/CC-MAIN-20190426053538-20190426075538-00214.warc.gz | en | 0.976963 | 393 |
MS-RT puts Ford's Transit Connect van into rally mode
We've seen Ford's Transit Connect van take many forms over the years, from converters crafting pop-top campers to others building mobile offices. This time around Welsh tuning firm MS-RT has put its rally racing leanings to work on the vehicle's inside and out for a run of performance-inspired panel vans that are likely to turn a few heads.
MS-RT is a company that customizes Ford's vehicles to give them a sportier feel, with a particular emphasis on design cues taken from the world of rally racing. Following the MS-RT Ford Transit Custom van it released last year, the firm has now turned its attention to Ford's Transit Connect and the results are rather stylish indeed.
The plastic injection-molded bodykit comprises a rear bumper, diffuser and spoiler and side skirts, along with a front bumper, front grilles and a front diffuser. Further fleshing out the sporty aesthetic is a quad stainless steel sports exhaust, 18-inch alloy racing wheels, and Michelin tires.
The inside, meanwhile, gets a carbon inlay sports steering wheel along with nappa leather and suede finishes. Also onboard is LED loadspace lighting, a "premium" infotainment pack with navigation software, a reversing camera and side-loading doors on either side.
Among the optional upgrades are bronze alloy wheels, black exhaust tips and a full carbon steering wheel.
Like the already approved MS-RT Ford Transit Custom, the MS-RT Ford Transit Connect is designed to obtain approval though Ford's accredited Qualified Vehicle Modifiers program.
MS-RT will kick things off with a limited run of 40 Launch Editions that will feature a Magnetic Grey paint job, upgraded alloy wheels and a unique interior, which it expects to deliver in September 2019. A standard production version will follow for the same price, £23,995 (US$31,200) for a six-speed manual gearbox or £24,995 ($32,500) for an automatic transmission.
"Our customers absolutely love their vans and the uniqueness of them, so we expect that the Connect will develop a similar following among those who want a commercial vehicle with genuine motorsport heritage, fantastic sports styling and a full manufacturer-backed warranty," said MS-RT Founding Director, Edward Davies. "We can't wait to deliver the first Launch Edition models later this year." | <urn:uuid:ee854937-b5c2-496e-93ba-ca469bd516e0> | CC-MAIN-2020-16 | https://newatlas.com/ms-rt-ford-transit-connect-rally/59611/ | 2020-04-10T04:42:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-16/segments/1585371886991.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20200410043735-20200410074235-00300.warc.gz | en | 0.924544 | 497 |

AFA Response to Spirit's Request for Airport Volunteers Amid Cancellation Chaos
August 12, 2021
By Hannah Towey, Business Insider
- Spirit asked flight attendants to volunteer at the Fort Lauderdale airport amid mass cancellations.
- The Spirit COO later apologized to workers, saying the request was "insulting" and "poorly timed."
- A union representative fired back at Spirit: "Why get abused for free when you can get paid for it?"
Spirit requested some flight attendants to volunteer during their days off as the company struggled with thousands of flight cancellations over the past week.
Deb Hanson and Rhonda Jordan, the directors of in-flight operations, asked Spirit flight attendants to volunteer at the Fort Lauderdale airport to help guests at kiosks and ticket counters, internal emails obtained by Insider showed. The email request did not clarify whether the volunteer shifts were paid or unpaid.
"You don't need additional security access or systems knowledge," the email read in part. "We simply need your willingness to help."
Teri Davison, a representative from the Spirit Airlines Association of Flight Attendants, sent a blistering email in response.
Spirit "has left you and your fellow flight attendants stranded in airports with their angry passengers for hours and even days on end," Davison wrote in an email obtained by Insider. "The company that wants you to sit on hold for hours on end, surpassing legal duty periods, and jeopardizing rest periods, invading on your days off without remorse. Now they want a favor?"
"Why get abused for free when you can get paid for it?" Davison wrote.
One Spirit staffer who received the volunteer request said she was left stranded by the airline in a major Northeastern city for four days during the cancellations. She said that at one point, a flight attendant drove for two hours to deliver food for the crew members stranded there.
"It was awful," the flight attendant said. She requested anonymity to speak freely about the situation, though her identity and employment were verified by Insider.
John Bendoraitis, Spirit's COO, later apologized for the email that requested flight attendants volunteer their time.
"The reason for this late evening email is to address an unfortunate email message from our team soliciting volunteers to help at the FLL airport," Bendoraitis wrote in a response viewed by Insider. He continued, "The message was poorly timed and insulting. There are no excuses — I'm very sorry and I apologize."
Spirit's mass cancellations were caused by a poorly timed combination of bad weather, system outages, and staffing issues. Cancellations persisted for seven days in a row as CEO Ted Christie promised to fix the airlines' underlying problems. On Tuesday, only 2% of Spirit flights were canceled, down from last week's high of 60%.
"There's definitely some angry people," Christie said on Thursday, CNBC reported. "Right now, all I can say is we're very sorry for what happened."

Snow has always been a priceless commodity for Sherry Danahy and Rob Currie, who may very well be the best snowman builders in Penticton.
Towering at over seven feet tall from his roly-poly bottom to the top of his hat, Frosty has come alive in front of the couples 1099 Holden Rd. house.
“We build one almost every snowfall. We just moved here from Squamish so this is our first one in Penticton. People would bring their whole family and come take pictures to use on their Christmas cards for the next year,” said Danahy of their previous snowman creations in Squamish. “This one is probably the biggest.”
The build took about seven hours to gather all the snow together and about an hour for Danahy to carve it.
“This one might last longer than a day because most of ours would get rained out on the coast,” said Danahy.
Always a pair to get into the spirit of any holiday, Halloween also includes an elaborate set up, the couple invites people to visit the snowman, take photos and enjoy their Frosty the Snowman as much as they do.
“That is what Christmas is all about,” said Danahy. | <urn:uuid:2e6dfdb2-6571-411b-afe3-b9bf98c028b7> | CC-MAIN-2018-39 | https://www.pentictonwesternnews.com/community/penticton-couple-carve-out-a-christmas-tradition/ | 2018-09-23T14:59:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-39/segments/1537267159470.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20180923134314-20180923154714-00029.warc.gz | en | 0.975407 | 273 |
Friday Harbour was designed to be a destination where every day feels like a Friday, all year-round. Located on the shores of Lake Simcoe, it is set to be one of Ontario’s premier destinations and is already attracting a vibrant community. This ambitious $1.5 billion development involved the excavation of the existing marina basin and the construction of the largest in-land marina in Canada.
As part of the Resort development, an extensive and unique signage program was a must. In essence, Friday Harbour’s signage program needed to accommodate an entire community: the 600-acre site encompasses luxury town homes and condos, recreational amenities, a nature trail system, a network of streets that serve pedestrians, vehicles, and a system of shuttles, as well as an extensive retail area.
Entro designed the exterior signage program with the intention of creating a sense of unity among the Resort’s different environments and offerings. A sophisticated, minimal font and colour palette communicate the quality and tranquil beauty of the Resort and worked with the overall brand position the Resort had developed.
Identification pylons and wayfinding signage are particularly important for enabling navigation throughout the Resort, as well as through the seven kilometers of trails which are open to the public. Within the trails, interpretive signage tells the story of the site’s history, as well as conservation efforts underway. A team of 50 environmental consultants teamed up to design a 200-acre Nature Preserve that provides habitats for southern flying squirrels, birds, snakes, dragonflies, turtles, frogs and vegetation, including the endangered butternut tree.
We especially enjoyed creating signage for The Nest, the Resort’s award winning 18-hole golf course, designed by world-renown course designer, Doug Carrick. Working closely with the Resort and golf club staff, we created a signage program that is very much a departure from an off-the-shelf collection of signs common to most golf courses, and instead, extended the style of the Resort’s signage to the greens. Golfers have remarked on the unique sense of place and the distinct, “reinvented” experience evoked by the signage.

In the last few days the Brazilian National Council for Energy Policy and the regulator, ANP, has released significant extra information in relation to the upcoming 1st Pre-Salt Bid Round (the "Round"), including the draft tender protocol, draft PSC, an indicative bid time table and further information on the bid requirements. This Briefing brings the latest announcements together.
The Round is Brazil's first offering of participation in the ultra-deep offshore pre-salt oil reserves. As is widely known, this will be Brazil's first use of the production sharing contract ("PSC") model as opposed to the established concession contract model and the Round will require that Petrobras be the sole operator under the PSC and at all times hold a minimum mandatory 30% equity participation in the PSC. The Round has only one prospect on offer, the Libra Prospect in the Santos Basin. According to ANP the Prospect holds between 8 and 12 billion barrels of oil.
2. Round Timetable
Whilst subject to revision, the indicative timetable for the Round is set out below:
- Pre-tender protocol and draft PSC published: 9 July
- Expressions of interest to be registered: 9 July to 9 September
- Public hearing on the Round: 22 July
- ANP technical, tax, legal and environmental seminar (Rio): 28 August
- Technical, financial and valuation and bidder pre-qualification: 24 September
- Bid bonds due: 7 October
- Bids due: 21 October
- PSC signed: November
3. Bid requirements
The Ministry of Mines and Energy Ordinance No. 218 on 20 June 2013 set the framework for the Round requiring: (i) qualification parameters for potential bidders, allowing only those who are qualified as "operator A" – the highest qualification standard for Brazilian E&P operators – to bid during the Round; (ii) benchmarks to be taken into consideration for the underlying profit sharing contract (the "PSC"), which draft is still to be provided by ANP including a benchmark range for the price for barrels of oil produced to be offered to the Government under the PSC; (iii) a thirty five year term for the PSC; and (iv) formal basic procedures in connection with the bidding mechanics.
Resolution No. 5, published on 4 July, has clarified this framework and indicates that the Round will be significantly different from the Brazilian 11th Bid Round held earlier in the year. Significantly, all usual bid parameters have been set by the ANP, with the only figure which bidders are required to give in their bids being the percentage of oil production they are prepared to give to the Government.
4. Signing bonuses, work programme and local content requirements fixed
In line with informal statements by both the Brazilian President and the Brazilian Minister of Mining and Energy during the past months, the signature bonus to be paid by the successful bidder or consortium of bidders is a fixed amount of R$ 15 billion (approximately £4.4 billion).
The minimum work obligations, to be carried out in the first 4 years of the PSC, are 1547km2 of seismic and two wells.
Unlike previous bid rounds, including the 11th, the local content requirements for the Round are set by ANP rather than being bid:
- 37% for the Exploration Phase (15% for long term well testing)
- 55% per-cent for Development Phase modules that start production on or before 2021
- 59% per-cent for Development Phase modules that start production from 2022
The requirements for local content in the exploration phase are much lower than in the 11th Round as bidders will rely on foreign bespoke technology to perform the highly challenging activities inherent to the pre-salt area. Indeed that need for technology, as much as the need for capital, is one of the main reasons for the Round and Petrobras' appointment as mandatory operator. However, though lower they will need to be adhered to since public announcements indicate that the supervision process for compliance with commitments made by the successful bidders will likely be taken much more seriously by authorities than has been the case in the past.
5. The bid criterion – percentage Government share
The draft tender protocol and draft PSC published today contain a table to calculate the total Government share of the oil produced. The table is progressive, increasing with daily production volumes and the price of Brent up to US$160. Bidders are asked to bid at least a minimum percentage of production to be offered by the bidders to the Government of 40% assuming Brent at US$ 105 and daily production at 12,000 barrels per day.
The cost oil calculation is still pending further clarification and will be addressed in more detail in upcoming ANP resolutions. Most significantly, bidders eagerly await the publication of a draft of the PSC. However, the ANP has indicated that associated gas will not fall within the Government share and will therefore constitute "upside" for investors.
6. Cost recovery
Pursuant to Resolution No. 5, capex and opex may be recovered from cost oil on a monthly basis during the life of the PSC but cost recovery is limited to 50% of the gross value of the production during its first two years of production and then 30% for the remaining life of the PSC. A more fundamental point at a conceptual level regarding cost recovery is the definition of the expenses subject to recovery, which shall be approved by the operating committee. At this stage although it is still unclear what will be the mechanics for approval by the committee and if they will follow default position under industry standard agreements, or if there will be interference by local authorities regarding this issue.
The draft PSC published on 9 July 2013, provides that the PSC consortium may consist of no more than seven bidders.
Further and more detailed information on the Round will be made available by the ANP in the weeks to come.
After the success of the 11th Bid Round, ANP has constructed a very different pre-salt bidding regime that gives bidders very narrow parameters in which to bid. The Round is rather unusual since, unlike most licence rounds which license unexplored areas, the area being bid for has been surveyed and drilled to some extent and so the question for bidders is how much oil can be recovered and at what cost, rather than whether there is anything there at all. To that extent, Brazil's offering is unique, and a bid process that requires a single number is at the same time simple and immensely challenging. From a commercial point of view, much will turn on the analysis of the draft PSC when this is available. A clear assessment of the robustness of the Brent based Government share algorithm and its underlying assumptions over the lifetime of a 35 year contract will be vital to any bidder, as will a clear understanding of the room for tax and other adjustments over time that could affect the modelling. | <urn:uuid:8affc883-8acd-43d8-b982-af67a0571234> | CC-MAIN-2017-39 | https://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=4e026878-71d6-4a10-b114-60391130d48e | 2017-09-26T16:40:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-39/segments/1505818696653.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20170926160416-20170926180416-00240.warc.gz | en | 0.953314 | 1,427 |

Time To Build On The Momentum Of Climate Week
Last week, here in San Francisco, I had the privilege of participating in the Global Climate Action Summit. Corporate executives, elected officials, environmentalists, investors, activists and concerned citizens all traveled to the Bay Area to meet, to join marches, to listen to keynote speeches and to sit at round table discussions. By almost every measure, the climate-focused week was a success in raising awareness of this urgent global issue. Over the span of several days, major, concrete steps were announced to address our heating planet.
The actions by high-profile leaders such as California Governor Jerry Brown, Former Vice President Al Gore and Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg generated headlines that heightened awareness of both the environmental and the business cases to act on climate. In addition to big announcements, peaceful demonstrations punctuated the week with calls-to-action to reduce our carbon footprint, to include more indigenous leaders and to become better stewards of the planet.
As an impact investor and portfolio manager focused on climate solutions, I was honored to participate in the events. I am energized by the hope and momentum generated. I know that we as a nation need to continue pressing for concerted action in the U.S. and abroad, and that we as individuals can play an important role.
In the spirit of inspiring us all to action, below I share a few key takeaways I hope will motivate all of us -- climate solution advocates, government officials and concerned citizens -- to continue this important work.
Local Action Matters.
In the wake of the current administration’s decision to withdraw the United States from the global Paris climate agreement, state and local governments have become authentic leaders in addressing climate change.
From installing bike lanes, to requiring solar panels for all new construction, to divesting pension plans from fossil fuels, local leaders are taking bold and necessary steps.
California Governor Jerry Brown kicked off the week by signing SB100 into law. Authored and sponsored by U.S. Senate candidate Kevin De Leon, with broad support from diverse communities, elected leaders and officials, the law will require California to generate 100% carbon-free electricity by 2045. The executive order signed by the Governor calls for zero emissions across all sectors of the California economy, including transport and agriculture, by the same year. This is good news, and will spur California's economy toward renewable technologies.
Potential presidential candidate, Mike Bloomberg, announced Friday that Seattle and Atlanta will be the first recipients of climate grants from Bloomberg Philanthropy. Each will receive a package of support and technical assistance worth $2.5 million per city to help meet or beat the cities’ near-term carbon reduction goals. The Bloomberg American Cities Climate Challenge is a $70 million program seeking to promote sustainability by accelerating the climate action efforts of 20 cities.
C40 Cities, a nonprofit assisting cities striving to meet the terms of the Paris climate agreement, also participated in Climate Week. The group invited mayors from around the world to implement the programs set forth in the accord. C40 Cities announced that 45 cities are already executing a variety of local initiatives to realize the commitments in the Paris agreement, with encouragement to go even further with local actions.
Women and Indigenous People Are Leading the Way for Climate Justice.
From the Market Street march on Saturday to the podium at the summit itself, to hosting small dinner roundtable discussions, women and indigenous people are leading both on the big stage as well as the grassroots movement for climate justice.
Long-time activists Dr. Jane Goodall, Annie Leonard, CEO of Greenpeace, Lynne Twist of Pachamama, and the youngest speaker and participant -- Janmie Margolin, Founder of Zero Hour - all took the stage to speak, organize, call for action, and encourage us to work together. Dana Lanza of Confluence Philanthropy and Patricia Farrar Rivas of Veris Wealth Partners hosted a convening of female impact investors as part of the summit.
This wave of feminist activism is taking a different shape in support of and in solidarity with indigenous peoples.
Activist and founder of the International Indigenous Youth Council, Jasilyn Charger, pointed out that indigenous peoples are among the communities most threatened by industrial pollution and climate change. The threats come from oil pipelines on sacred lands to forced relocation resulting from coastal flooding. Indigenous peoples are the most vulnerable to becoming climate refugees.
These dynamic, young, female leaders see that many of our world’s largest issues are interconnected. They are clear we need systemic change to tackle our problems strategically and effectively. “You can’t just slap a solar panel on this issue and expect it to go away. You need to look at the systems of oppression, like colonialism, that caused this crisis,” said climate activist Sarra Tekola, Co-Founder Women of Color Speak Out.
Where We Invest Matters
Evident throughout the week is that the media is not doing enough to make the connection between the fossil fuel industry and climate change. By reporting on single fires or floods individually, rather than speaking about the on-going wave of natural disasters and their causes, the fossil fuel industry remains hidden in the background.
Another significant obstacle to achieving the Paris agreement goals is the reluctance of institutional investors, pension funds, and large foundations and endowments to change their investment practices. Thus far, these large investors have been slow to move in divesting from coal and fossil fuel producing companies and from the large banks that fund oil extraction and pipeline projects. May this post serve as a call to action to divest from fossil fuel production and to reinvest in solutions-focused companies creating clean and renewable energy options.
This is where we as consumers and investors can make a big difference. By connecting the dots between the companies in which we invest and the world in which we want to live, we can move the dial significantly. We as consumers and investors can speak out about how our individual purchasing and investing decisions can contribute to our warming planet, or can move us toward a just and sustainable economy. We must also call on both the media and corporations to provide transparency and to show the linkages.
While we encourage the big players to align their endowments with a sustainable future, we as individual investors can make significant progress toward reversing climate change by aligning our own investments. From our savings accounts, to our 401K retirement funds, we can align our money with our goals for a sustainable planet. By choosing local banks that make loans to small businesses within our communities rather than the large institutions that fund fossil fuel industry, we can make an enormous collective difference.
Within our investment accounts, we can move away from broad indexes which include companies based on the size or location. Instead, we can each direct our capital to concentrated portfolios of solutions-focused companies. By choosing innovative companies working on climate solutions, investors can expect significant growth as we transition to the next, just and sustainable economy.
Channeling our banking and investment dollars into clean energy technologies is as essential as making charitable donations to non-profit organizations taking on big issues, such as deforestation, the palm oil industry, or fossil fuel polluters. In the process of aligning our investment practices with our goals, we can also de-risk our portfolios while proactively choosing investments addressing the climate crisis.
* * *
The Global Climate Action Summit was a significant step in the right direction. As the popular song lyrics “Two Minutes to Midnight” illustrates, we need to continue taking bigger and bolder steps. If the devastating hurricanes and fires this past year tell us anything, it is that we must move quickly, decisively and together to leave behind a hospitable planet to future generations. May we also encourage the traditional leaders to step back and allow the young women and people of color, those often most affected by climate disasters, to lead us in solutions to a brighter future. | <urn:uuid:79dca9da-7407-45b1-bed9-14647771bf75> | CC-MAIN-2023-14 | https://www.moneydoula.org/single-post/2018/09/21/time-to-build-on-the-momentum-of-climate-week | 2023-03-26T05:11:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-14/segments/1679296945433.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20230326044821-20230326074821-00063.warc.gz | en | 0.953023 | 1,604 |

I love the Big 12 doomsdayers.
New schools. New commish. New TV deal. New grant of rights. Yet some things never change.
When the story about Texas Tech potentially dropping its Sept. 8 game at Texas State because it may or may not be televised on the Longhorn Network broke last week, these Big 12 doomsdayers showed their ugly faces after a nearly a year of hibernation.
This story served as a last-ditch effort to kick a conference that's been down, right before it will likely emerge as a power whose greatest days are ahead of it.
Now, for some facts...Texas State is in the WAC. The game being discussed is a home game for Texas State. That means that the WAC and Texas State control the television rights to the competition. ESPN operates the Longhorn Network.
So for those saying that Texas is attempting to bully its conference mate here are just plain wrong. Do you really think that Mack Brown cares about the television setup of Texas Tech vs. Texas State?
Having said all of that, this is one of those downfalls to Texas having its own "national" television network when nobody else in the conference does. But because the current third-tier agreement between the Big 12 and its member institutions, schools like Notre Dame and Florida State will be in play in the future, if and when moves need to be made. I'm not making any promises here. I'm just pointing out that this third-tier setup that the Big 12 currently has is attractive to schools with national brands - like Texas, Notre Dame and even Florida State.
Nothing in life is perfect folks. For instance, Doritos and Oreos taste delicious but that doesn't mean that they aren't horrible for you to eat. With good, often comes some bad.
A story like this is one of the negatives that comes along with this third-tier setup and specifically, the Longhorn Network.
This is an ESPN-WAC-Texas Tech problem. Based off of what I've read, Texas State has thrown an overwhelming amount of money into this one game. If Tech cancels it, everybody loses. This will work itself out. It has to. And don't worry - Texas Tech (or anybody) for that matter isn't going anywhere.
ON CYCLONE BASKETBALL...
This week is going to be a busy one...
For the third time in three years, I'll be working on NBA Draft night.
--- Last Thursday night was a little bit wild. ESPN draft guru Chad Ford tweeted that Royce White had apparently been promised to be taken at 21 by the Boston Celtics. As I said numerous times while filling in for Murph & Andy on 1460 KXNO on Friday afternoon, I don't buy it. That just doesn't make any sense. Why show your hand to the rest of the league for a pick that deep in the draft? Too much can change from pick one to 21 to want that information "out."
Regardless, Thursday night will be an exciting one for the Cyclone Nation and White, a guy who many claimed would never play a game for Iowa State when he signed with Fred Hoiberg two summers ago.
If White gets does drafted by a talented playoff team from 2012, then watch out. What makes him so dangerous of a player is the fact that White doesn't care if he scores a point in a game. He's a player who truly values an assist next to his name in the box score more than a field goal. That's rare for a guy at his talent level. Point is, Royce would be an unbelievable asset to a team (like Boston) with pieces already in place. If Royce White goes to a team like that, averaging 5-8 assists per game wouldn't be crazy at all during his rookie campaign.
NOTE: That while I don't put much stock at all into NBADraft.net, I did find it interesting that in the site's latest draft projections, both former Ames High star Harrison Barnes and White are going to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Wouldn't that be a pair!
--- It was great to see former Cyclones Craig Brackins and Diante Garrett participate in the Des Moines YMCA Capital City League last week. Easily, those are two of the classiest Cyclones I've ever had the opportunity to cover.
ON FOOTBALL RECRUITING...
It seems like only yesterday when my friend Jon Miller of HawkeyeNation.com fired off a snarky tweeet to me mocking the fact that it was June and Iowa State still didn't have a commitment for its 2013 football recruiting class.
Yes - Things have picked up in Ames over the last few weeks. A few notes...
--- Paul Rhoads LOVES JUCO tight ends. Collin Franklin. Ricky Howard. Ernst Brun. Throw the name Emmanuel Bibbs onto that list. Bibbs, a 6-foot-3, 245-pound tight end out of Western Arizona C.C. committed to Iowa State last week.
After making a few phone calls, I learned that Iowa State actually stumbled upon Bibbs while in Arizona recruiting another player. Bibbs caught the eye of an Iowa State assistant coach and here we are today.
Word is that Bibbs isn't a pass catching or blocking tight end, but a combination of both.
--- In case you missed it over the weekend, Iowa State picked up the commitment of a Wisconsin offensive lineman. I'll attempt to get more information on this story later in the week.
--- My wife and I spent our Sunday afternoon at the Ankeny pool. Hanging out with hundreds of insane 5-16 year old kids is the perfect form of birth control for this 27-year old man.
--- A former Cyclone will represent the USA in next month's Summer Olympics.

Residents of Star Valley Tuesday night got a glimpse of what type of law enforcement they will be receiving from the Payson Police Department.
Payson Police Chief Gordon Gartner and patrol officer Joni Varga attended a Tuesday town meeting to talk to the public.
Gartner said the average experience of his officers is about 14 years, adding that there are a number that have more than 20 years experience.
"The down side is some of us old guys will be retiring," he said.
Gartner said he was surprised a month ago when discussions began about the Payson Police Department providing service to the town of Star Valley.
He said in 2005 Payson looked at annexing the town, so the idea of expanding its service to Star Valley was a little surprising.
He said the community of Star Valley is receiving the same type of service as what Payson is getting.
He said from a logistical standpoint, the response times to Star Valley will be quicker than what the Gila County Sheriff's Office could have provided.
The downside, he said, is that there will be longer response times for Payson calls.
He said there is not a lot of time to do traffic patrol, so the town may not see the PPD handing out many traffic tickets.
Gartner, reading from the reports, said there had been three arrests in Star Valley since the PPD took over law enforcement July 1. He said there are times when the reports do not become available for 10 to 14 days after the incident.
So far the PPD has been in Star Valley 130 times on preventive patrols with another 79 calls for service.
Animal control issues such as a dog at large will be handled by the town of Star Valley.
The police chief then fielded questions from the audience.
Ray Lyons, owner of the Star Vale Park, asked if the PPD would patrol his property since it was private. Gartner said since there is access to the public, the park is being patrolled.
Mayor Chuck Heron said the town is a learning curve to the PPD officers as most do not know the town yet.
When asked what the residents of Star Valley could do to help the police department, Gartner said neighbors should be the eyes and ears for each other.
Heron briefly spoke about the town code that, he said, the PPD will follow once all the kinks are worked out. Currently, the police officers are following Arizona Revised Statutes.
When told the police department could make a lot of money by watching for speeders on Highway 260, Gartner joked that once locals started being ticketed, the mayor would be receiving phone calls.
Heron said the 45-mph signs in Star Valley will be moved to give drivers more time to slow down when entering the town limits.
Varga, who lives in Star Valley, said one of the challenges that officers may face are two bar incidents at the same time -- with one being in Payson and the other one occurring in Star Valley. Fortunately, she said, that has yet to happen.
Varga also asked the public -- when calling in -- to give good directions because the town is new to most officers.
When asked if there was anything the PPD could do about an adult entertainment business that operates in town, the police chief said there was nothing that could be done.
He said typically there is some crime that follows adult entertainment business, and added if there is illegal activity that is spotted, the police department should be called.
"It was disturbing to the entire area when it opened," Gartner said. Heron added the adult business owner found a loophole in the county statutes that allowed him to open the adult entertainment business. That loophole no longer exists.
"Right now it's there," Heron said. "People have told me they will take five Pete's Places to one meth lab."
Gartner said he thinks his department can service Star Valley well.
"You are such a new town. There are so many things you have to discover," the police chief said. "I think we can do a good job of providing coverage out here. If there is any service where you need us out here, let us know."
Heron said in time, Star Valley will have its own police service. | <urn:uuid:fbf5f024-5109-4a0a-b464-e4f816c7e641> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.paysonroundup.com/news/2006/jul/27/star_valley_residents/ | 2016-10-23T03:13:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988719139.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183839-00448-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.981992 | 888 |
Subject: I have found a CD that I think you would enjoy
Wacky World of Spike Jones
Genres: Jazz, Special Interest, Pop
Similarly Requested CDs
As good of a one album collection of Spike Jones as you can
Lawrance M. Bernabo | The Zenith City, Duluth, Minnesota | 01/24/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)
"When I was in grade school I had a teacher who would play his Spike Jones records for us from time to time. I clearly remembering listening to "Cocktails for Two," "Der Fuehrer's Face," "You Always Hurt the One You Love," and, of course, "The William Tell Overture," from which comes my strong affection for a race horse named Beetlebum. Of course as youngsters we were enthralled by the idea of a band playing music and using sirens, bells, whistles, and apparently anything they could get their hands on as instruments. So what if we had never had a cocktail, were at a loss for who der Fuehrer might be (okay, I admit it, I knew it was Hitler and explained it to my classmates), and associated "The William Tell Overture" with the Lone Ranger. This was good stuff.
"The Wacky World of Spike Jones" is a solid sampling of that good stuff from Spike and his City Slickers. Since it has all four of the songs that I remember when I was a mere lad, so it meets my minimum requirement. Actually the only thing that is really missing, assuming you do not have a personal favorite, is what is clearly his most famous novelty song, "All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth." But even without that one (aptly covered by the Chipmunks) there are still plenty of first-rate Spike Jones songs here, what with "The Blue Danube," "The Man on the Flying Trapeze," "Chloe" and "Hawaiian War Chant." There are only sixteen tracks, but that is certainly a really decent number for a collection like this one and a bigger Spike Jones fan can certainly skip this one and go right for one of the bigger collections
You can certainly see how Spike Jones sent the stage for those who would follow. He does his own twisted versions of classical songs like "Liebestraum" and "Rhapsody from Hunger" by Lizst, and turns the works of Saint-Saens and Tchaikovsky into "None But the Lonely Heart (A Soaperetta)," which foreshadows the work of P.D.Q. Bach. Of course, that is highbrow musical satire when the more obvious descendants of Spike Jones would be Alan Sherman and "Weird" Al Yankovic. But Spike Jones is to them as Woody Guthrie is to Pete Seeger and Bob Dylan, and on that off-the-wall musical analogy I will take my leave of you." | <urn:uuid:f65594b8-6b5f-48e9-912c-bc10cccd0aa4> | CC-MAIN-2017-13 | http://www.swapacd.com/Spike-Jones-Wacky-World-Spike/cd/82398/ | 2017-03-26T23:43:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-13/segments/1490218189313.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20170322212949-00370-ip-10-233-31-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.979975 | 610 |
Garrett Harris 4 p.m., Aug. 27
BLAH 2.0: Tiger! Tiger!
T!T! (yes, I'm immature enough to have laughed, don't tell me you didn't) reminds me of an old Polish beer hall from my grandparent's neighborhood in Milwaukee, complete with picnic benches for seating. There's a nice wood-burning oven, with a beautiful copper canopy, but the specialty of the house is not pizza, it's sandwiches, oysters, and beer.
The setup is just like BLAH, you go to the middle of the bar and order your beer and food, get a number on a stick for identification, and grab a seat.
I've been on something of a sandwich kick lately. They have a small but interesting selection, including vegetarian and vegan choices. I got a Wood Fired Banh Mi ($9), which comes with homemade potato chips.
It's not on a traditional baguette, but the roll is darn fine, with a crispy crust that still lets you get a bite without all the fillings shooting out the end. The fillings are fresh and good, a bit of chile aioli, thinly sliced cucumber, and julienned jalapeño, tart, funky house-made pickled vegetables (red onion, daikon, and carrot), cilantro (nicely trimmed of tough stems) three decent slices of pork belly, and a good smear of house-made paté. The pork belly had been well rubbed with Chinese spice, slow cooked to melting tenderness, then finished up in the wood oven to get the fat layer crispy and crackling. It played well with the earthy paté, the tangy pickles, and the crisp fresh cuke and jalapeño. Very nice.
John got the Oyster Po' Boy ($10), also with chips. Now, I love raw oysters, but cooked ones don't really float my boat. I don't hate them, but, well, I don't really like them either. I keep trying, though, hoping I'll grow into them. These were well cooked, crispy outside and creamy inside. They were topped with good remoulade, cabbage, pickled chilies, and thinly sliced onion. It was a nice mix of hot and cold, crisp and soft, tangy and smooth.
The chips were good, too, a mix of Kennebec, Idaho, and yams, sliced ultra-thin and fried golden brown.
We wanted to try the persimmon cake, but they were out. I like when places use ingredients that are a bit different, so it's enough excuse to go back, with an empty stomach.

Houston’s Jewish Community Center will host an event Tuesday focused on First Amendment freedoms, an effort to offer legal context to Gov. Rick Perry’s upcoming Christian prayer rally.
The Anti-Defamation League, the event’s organizer and an activist group against anti-Semitism and discrimination, has called Perry’s rally “misguided and inappropriate” for isolating non-Christians in his constituency and tangling his personal faith with his political office.
“The governor’s message is dividing Texans along religious lines. Our goal is to educate the community why a union between government and religion is harmful to both,” said Martin B. Cominsky, ADL regional director. “It’s a reminder to all people, to Jews, to Muslims, to everyone, how risky this slope is.”
Houston attorney David Furlow will address the legal precedence against religious establishment in a talk called “Roger Williams, Thomas Jefferson and the Origins of First Amendment Religious Freedoms.”
Tuesday’s talk, free and open to the public, is being held in partnership with Americans United For the Separation for Church and State and the Texas Freedom Network.
The Jewish community is one segment of a broad group of Texans who are uncomfortable with Perry’s involvement with the event and its sponsor, the American Family Association. They’ve joined with Muslims, atheists, progressive Christians and others in voicing their opposition.
“I’m not sure we’ve all come together in a physical way, but we all share concern over it,” Cominsky said.
The National Association of Jewish Legislators released a statement expressing “disappointment and shock” over Perry’s plans for the event, and Austin’s State Rep. Elliott Naishtat, a Jewish lawmaker, has also criticized the governor.
“This type of sectarian event can only serve to put people into religious boxes that decrease the chances that there will ever be public acceptance of different groups and faiths,” he said.
The organizers of Faith, Family and Freedom—an event taking place on the Friday before Perry’s rally at Reliant Stadium—say they have invited Jewish leaders to join them for interfaith activities being held before Shabbat that day.
Organizers of The Response rally say they expected the criticism and affirm the rights of people to oppose, speak against or protest the event.
The ADL’s community briefing on the First Amendment will run from 7:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday, at the JCC, 5601 S. Braeswood.

Yes, once. He wasn't so much a bad influence be he was stealing from or son. Very difficult because his Mum and I were good friends. Thankfully they decided to move to a bigger house, so the problem was resolved without any bad feelings!
The child in question was 14 yrs old, and was doing some very disturbing things.His mother told me, and that I should be aware.
I later told the boy, if I saw him with my son I would be very upset.
I asked him if he understood, and he just smiled at me....He was doing sexual actions on his younger brother.
I looked him in the eyes, and told him he did not want to do anything to my son. I would call the police.
By the time I had finished he was no longer smiling.He knew I was very serious. | <urn:uuid:7cea1229-f516-4032-b549-cfbd54a37741> | CC-MAIN-2018-05 | http://answerangels.com.au/have-you-ever-identified-a-neighbors-child-as-a-bad-influence-on-yours-what-did-you-do-about-it/ | 2018-01-16T17:37:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-05/segments/1516084886476.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20180116164812-20180116184812-00693.warc.gz | en | 0.996508 | 230 |
This is clearly stated on p. 549, where it says, "the determinatives that function as degree modifiers are illustrated in ," and then gives [37x] He seemed [all confused].
Note that the x in [37x] is the Roman numeral, which is to say that all is one of 10 determinatives—it's the last example—to function as a degree modifier. The category of determinatives is small, comprising 35 or so members (depending on how you count and excluding the cardinal numerals). In other words, a sizable minority of determinatives have this function. Now, you could posit adverb counterparts for each of them, as B&T do, or you could just say that this is one of a number of functions that determinatives can take on.
Of course, if you regularly fail to distinguish between category and function, you might assume that determinatives function only as determiners and overlook the generalization that a clear category-function distinction allows you to capture.
At any rate, either B&T didn't read the parts of CGEL that they cite, or perhaps they didn't understand it because they had some preconceived notion of what could function as a modifier. Or maybe the devil made them do it.

†B&T gloss demonyak as "possessed by the devil" so al demonyak would translate so something like "all possessed" or "completely possessed". | <urn:uuid:1d814ac9-cdb7-4f13-94b5-351f7eb4e056> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://ctg-t.blogspot.com/2014/09/were-they-al-demonyak.html | 2017-10-24T11:31:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187828411.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20171024105736-20171024125736-00010.warc.gz | en | 0.953964 | 359 |

On our way to Young Life - Washington Family Ranch, at about 10:30pm - the roads were getting icy/snowy. Adam decided to get out and make a YL and an arrow at a few places on the long road down to the canyon of young life camp :-)
The Medical Team for this weeks work crew
Jodi and Amber at the Medical Clinic Trailer
First major Owie - Barbed wire fence meeting shin.
Jodi and Amber re-addressing the barbed wire vs shin incident in the Medical Trailer
Another event even included a broken arm. So you think being on the Medical Team would be boring, think again. It can actually be fun and entertaining.
Did someone say it was time to eat? Didn't we just eat?
The food was GREAT!
This is the huge dinning hall we ate breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Wait until the campers arrive. This building is PACKED. It's an amazing site.
The food was SO yummy! All homemade cooking!
Outside view of the Dinning Hall
Family picture spot on the old fashion wagon in front of the dinning hall.
Welcome to the famous Sarsaparilla Snack Shop
The famous Sarsaparilla drink - really good (similar to root beer)
Did someone say Ice Cream? Sarsaparilla is the place. Moose Tracks and Espresso Explosion are some examples of the ice cream they have to offer.
Seble loved her first taste of ice cream!
The view was always fabulous this week
Noah and Zach begged to ride the zip line-even though it was like in the 40s out and water was prob. 20 some degrees! LOL - They couldn't talk as they were coming out. SOOO Funny!
View of the Sports Center from the dinning hall
Outside the Washington Family Sports Center
As you enter the Sports Center, there are 3 huge rock climbing walls. Kids had a blast!
Climbing the rock walls was a blast!
The Sports Center has 4 full court basketball courts
Jodi & Amber shooting hoops
A friendly game of Bump!
New way of cleaning the gym floor. Seble thought it was so fun!
After this, it seemed like everyone got a turn.....even Amber! LOL
Ping-pong was fun too.
View of the Ropes Course in the distance
View of the dinning hall and the beach
The beach area at camp is pretty awesome and fun!
Another view of the beach area
The beach they have in camp was fun
Lake/Beach area where the Ice Berg, Log Roll, Trampoline, and Burrito are all located
(VERY steep - Great view once you make it to the top)
Swimming Pool with diving board and high board
Lower left clump of trees is the lower zip line platform. Upper zip line platform is middle/left of the picture.
Long walk up but sure if fun coming down.
The kids even got to feed the horses hay and apples.
This is the new Wyldlife camp that opens this June for Jr. high kids...it is awesome!
It will be called Creekside and gets dedicated May 14th
It will have a MAJOR water park with slides and all. Can't wait!
It was work week so here are some college kids cleaning the windows of the dorms.
We decided to get into the action and work by pulling weeds with the work crew too-it was fun!
We even got to work around the Ranch House which is the Medical Teams residence during camp.
We even found out that Rachael Lampa and her husband Brenden were the Worship leaders for Round-up (Club). We got to meet her and talk with her a little bit. It was a surprise for us. Didn't know she was going to be there. They came all the way from Nashville Tennessee. They gave a mini concert the last night too.
This is Rachael Lampa-the famous Christian singer/songwriter....she was at camp with us and her husband. She was totally sweet and as cute as can be! Loved hearing her sing and getting to have a mini concert from them!
Waiting for the concert in the Round-Up (Club) room.
Brenden & Rachael practicing before the concert
Amber, Seble, and Rachael Lampa
Zach and his friend Gabby (Jodi's daughter) on the Ranch House porch swing!
They played together really well!
They played together really well!
Seble and Mailey taking a bath
Cassidy got to take her earrings out for the first time since getting them pierced. She was super happy about being able to put new ones in.
Love this old piano in the Ranch House.
Cassidy liked playing it too.
On our way home, Noah FINALLY lost his 2nd middle top tooth! No front teeth now! :-).

"Although it may not always be obvious to us, there seems to be one distinct moment when God begins a new story in each of our lives. He writes words on our hearts that long to be spoken and strain to be lived out. Then with His own great hand, He begins to write the script. Experience by experience through seemingly ordinary days, He supernaturally orders our lives. Only when we look back and reflect on what appeared to have been the ordinary events of life does it become clear what a miracle the Lord has performed."
