"If you look back over our history, it will not take you long to realize that our people have shed more blood for other people's liberty than any other combination of nations in the history of the world." -- Fred Thompson, stump speech in Iowa, September 6, 2007.
Fact Check: While heavy, U.S. military casualties are still relatively low in comparison to the military casualties of its World War II and World War I allies. In World War II alone, the Soviet Union suffered at least eight million military deaths, or ten times the number of U.S. deaths in all wars combined.

Can you see me now? Yes, seeing faces is really at the core of social media. New tools have recently emerged that allow you to broadcast multiple live talking heads over the Internet.
Here’s the cool part. They cost next to nothing and allow you to instantly communicate with hundreds of people. The marketing upside is huge here: quick video chats with groups of prospects, organized events and much more.
We conducted four live multi-guest video broadcasts for the launch of Social Media Examiner. In this article I’ll explain how we did it and share the tools we used so you can do this on your own.
How it Works
Are you launching a product or service? Looking to create a big social media splash? A new and powerful marketing idea is live video broadcasts with multiple guests. Think videophones with multiple people who the entire world can see. Then add public chat and integration with social media sites like Twitter and Facebook.
As you can see in the above image, I broadcasted live with Facebook expert Mari Smith. In the area below our video boxes is a chat box where people asked us questions and interacted with each other.
The magic combination of seeing talking faces and being able to chat live is a powerful marketing experience. Nothing beats seeing experts in their natural habitats. Click here to watch the playback of the above example.
What makes this really interesting is the simplicity. People simply visit a page and immediately partake in the experience. No special software is required. Anyone can login as a guest. In addition, people can login with their Twitter or Facebook ID, making it easy to participate and share the experience over social media networks.
So, multi-guest live video broadcasts combine multiple live video streams (you can do more than two if you want) with public instant messaging. Anyone can type in questions and their video can even be brought into the live video stream.
Why Do Multi-Guest Live Video Broadcasts?
Many people are already familiar with services like Skype that allow one-to-one video communication. The mass adoption of Skype is market proof that people like seeing live talking faces.
However, the idea of multiple people streaming video publicly is something really new. In the past, this kind of experience was restricted to executive boardrooms or major television studios. Now it can occur without special equipment or software.
So here are the variables:
- Talking faces: Multiple people talking to each other over video
- Interacting watchers: Many people (even hundreds) interacting with the talking faces by typing in questions
- Social media: The ability for guests to effortlessly share their live experience with others in their networks (powerful viral marketing here!)
The result: serious wow factor, powerful engagement and social proof.
Here are a few benefits of doing multi-guest live video events:
- Allows special guests to connect with people on a very personal level
- Enables your business to quickly test out ideas
- Provides a platform for educating prospects and customers
- Enables live expert interviews among multiple parties
- Attracts new people to your offerings as guests share their experience via their social media channels (with the push of a button)
And I’m sure I’m just scratching the surface of the possibilities here.
How to Conduct Multi-Guest Live Video Broadcasts
TinyChat is the service we used for our live video broadcasts. From a user’s perspective, TinyChat is really simple. You just provide people a unique URL (like tinychat.com/ourcoolbroadcast). You create this at TinyChat.com (see image below). When people visit your “room,” they simply enter their name and they’re brought into your live broadcast.
Starting a video broadcast with TinyChat is super-easy. Just visit the site, enter a name for your new room and hit the green “Create your room” button.
Quick story: We were searching high and low for services that could easily include multiple people at multiple locations talking on a single stream. We found no easy solution. Then we saw an article on Mashable.com introducing TinyChat. Despite some bugs, I was immediately impressed and decided we’d give it a try for our launch. I’m glad I did!
Here are some of the service’s capabilities: videoconference rooms can accommodate up to 400 people and you can have up to 12 live video streams.
The service is free, but shows advertisements. If you pay $14.95 per month (and you can cancel at any time), you can eliminate the ads for your room and guests. The paid upgrade also provides a few more useful features. You can:

- Reserve up to five room names for your business (like tinychat.com/yourname)
- Set a password for video broadcasters (ensures guests cannot begin uninvited video broadcasts)
- Set a password for rooms (for more private functions)
- Create simplified recordings (I have not tested this one)
Tiny Chat Tips and Hiccups
There are a few bugs you should be aware of. First, if you set up a room on one computer and then expect to manage it on another, you could run into problems.
When you first set up your room, you are presented with a Room Settings option (also referred to as Room Starter Controls under one of the menus—see image below).
Making things private: A few things you want to do right away include NOT allowing anyone to broadcast and NOT listing the room publicly. I have found that entering a topic for a room is of no use if you don’t list the room publicly. This will prevent random unwanted guests from coming into your room.
Beware of the Twitter login: You can require folks to enter your room using their Facebook or Twitter ID. In order to maximize the entry into the room, I would select ‘No, just a nickname is ok” (see image above).
When people first enter the room, they are given the option to login via a nickname, or with Twitter or Facebook. If the person selects Twitter, for example, it will post a tweet in his or her feed, bringing even more people into the room. Beware of logging in using Twitter when you are first testing your room, as others will be invited to join you (via an automated tweet).
Upgrade to save your room (and headaches): If you plan on doing a live broadcast, I would advise you to pay the $14.95 and upgrade. This will get rid of the large advertisements for all participants in the room. It will also allow you to set a master password for broadcasters.
Here’s why this is important. One big bug with TinyChat has to do with Room Starter Controls. Let’s say you set up your account on one computer (or browser) and then you want to change settings later on another computer. TinyChat won’t let you control the settings of the room because you did not “start it.” The best way to ensure things go well is to upgrade and login. Then set a broadcasting password for the room and only give it to presenters. This ensures random people do not begin broadcasting and addresses the bug as well.
I’m here, where are you? Okay, this has happened a few times. I was logged in my paid room and no-one else was there. BUT, they actually were in the room and did not see me. I had to log out and log back in with a different browser. The problem seemed to be isolated to the Safari web browser. I hope they fixed this issue. The good news is it only occurred during test runs.
Tips for Video Presenters
Here are a few tips to ensure your live broadcast goes as planned.
Do a Test Run: Having done a LOT of live events, I cannot overstate the importance of a dry run to test everything with your presenters. Technology always means hiccups. Conduct a test run days before your actual event with each of the presenters individually. This ensures audio and video issues are worked out before your live event.
Make All Presenters Wear a Headset: One of the biggest challenges with live video broadcasts is audio echoes. This nearly always occurs because a presenter is not wearing a headset. So the voice coming from a presenter’s computer speakers is picked up by his or her microphone and creates a horrible echo. The simple solution: Ask if the presenter has an iPod headset. Have the presenter stick the headset in one ear and run the cord behind his or her back and into the computer’s audio output port. Also watch the audio indicators to make sure your voice doesn’t get too loud or too soft.
Lighting: If you can, make sure everyone is well-lit. Often this involves asking presenters to move a lamp behind their computers. Lighting, however, is a real art (and I’m no expert). Go here for a cool video on basic lighting techniques.
Have regular breaks to introduce new attendees to the presenters: Because people will virally discover your broadcast while it’s happening, it makes sense to have some regular 30-second breaks where you introduce yourself and who you are talking with. Here are a few tips from Damian Christianson. Have some pre-crafted text that you can paste into the chat channel with details about the presenter and the event. Also provide a place for folks to go (like your blog) with follow-up questions.
Recording sessions: I have not experimented with the built-in recording capabilities of TinyChat. I prefer to capture recordings myself. I’m on a Mac and strongly recommend ScreenFlow to record your sessions. Just remember that you’ll be recording audio from your computer and your input microphone, which can result in a slight delay between your lips moving and your voice. I think it’s not that huge, but be aware it will happen.

The 'Justice League' Cast Is SUPER Against This Oil PipelineSeptember 7, 2016
The cast of "Justice League" publicly endorsed Rezpect Our Water, an organization against the Dakota Access Pipeline. The oil pipeline would run from North Dakota to Illinois, crossing the Missouri River less than a mile from the Standing Rock reservation.
And that's the real threat. If the pipeline leaked, it could contaminate Standing Rock's only water supply. Native Americans from the reservation are protesting at the construction site, while others brought the fight straight to Washington, D.C.
The "Justice League" cast joins other celebrities opposed to the pipeline, like Susan Sarandon and Shailene Woodley.
if you can't be on standing rock, please take a minute out of your day to call /email these representatives and tell them you oppose the Dakota Access Pipeline. this isn't just about protecting the water for standing rock. this is about protecting ALL water...YOURS included. time is now to SHOW UP. no day like today. @byellowtail #waterislife #mniwiconi #honorourtreaties #nodapl #nodakotaaccess #dakotaaccesspipeline #UpToUs
But there's something special about seeing a "gang of Earth defenders," like Batman and Wonder Woman, talking about real-world issues. And honestly hearing Aquaman discuss the importance of clean water is pretty surreal.
#Repost @dallasgoldtooth @rezpectourwater @barcalive mahalo for tagging me @raeknows it makes me sick to see this happening and not being able to come and stand with all the Warriors I love you and send all my mana Wish I could be there. Water is life. Sacred Aquaman is pissed ・・・ The pipeline will go through the Missouri river, a primary water source not only to Standing Rock reservation but to the surrounding areas as well.. From North Dakota down to Missouri! You may not know this, but a well known fact is that Oil pipelines leak. No ands, ifs, or buts about it. And when it does, it contaminates the water. That would be 80,000+ people who won't have access to drinkable water. Not only will it contaminate the water, it will sink into the earth. In turn destroying the land that we do see. This is why we have the 8,000-10,000 WATER PROTECTORS out there in North Dakota trying everything they can (peacefully, I might add) to keep the Dakota Access pipeline from being built. They're not selfishly doing this for themselves but for our mother earth, the population that depends on this water source (PEOPLE, ANIMALS, AND NATURE) to survive. WE ALL NEED WATER TO SURVIVE. A few days ago a band of hired security brought violent dogs to the sight where our water protectors were protesting. Trying to keep construction from happening on sacred land. There were men, women, children and elders there. Protesters were bit by the dogs. But here we are, still fighting this fight, and we will not be silenced. Please! Share this.. My brothers, my sisters. I do not care what tribe, or what race you are. I am calling for help. Spread the word, and don't let the media sway you with lies. Stay Woke everyone, and pray for standing rock.

Chris, I also have no idea about how to figure how much air an engine uses.
Then I typed "air consumption engine".
In the first
attempt I got a table for what I'd call "pollution calculation" purposes. I'd guess we don't know if air is at atmospheric pressure when it enters the cylinder, so probably this kind of calculation is wrong. Anyway, this is a first estimate for your engine:First formula
, if you only know the displacement
Air used = Displacement/2 * rpm
Air used = 3.5 liters/2 * 7000 rpm = 12250 liters/minute
As a liter/minute is like 0.0353 cfm, then that's like 433 cfm
However, in the second
attempt I found that you could use this approach:
You know that air weighs 1.2 grams/liter and a gallon of gasoline weighs 6 pounds (that's like 2700 grams). So, if you have a fuel:air ratio of 1:14, for every gallon of gas you use 14 * 2700 = 37800 grams of air.
If you divide by 1.2 grams that weighs one liter of air, that's 31500 liters of air you have to use per gallon, which means you get more or less 1100 cubic feet of air per gallon of gasoline.Second formula
if you know the fuel you used
Air used (cfm) = fuel used (in gallons/minute) * 1100
I don't know. Something's wrong here. You have to use 0.38 gallons/minute to get the 433 cfm of the first approach.
If you check somehow how much fuel your engine uses (you can download the information from the ECU of your car at your local workshop, btw) you can find how much air you need.
So, for the third
attempt, let's go with SZ approach (welcome, SZ!), which seems to be right (unless your car uses 23 gallons/hour at that rpm regime!). I take the approach "for-dummies", step by step.
Power of a V6, 3.5 liters at 7000 rpm. Shut. Let's see.
My first "googling" tells me that Ford offers a V6, 3.5 liters rated at 265 hp. Honda gives you the same V6/3.5 at 275 hp. Give or take, that's like 200 Kwatts. You have peak power at 5000 rpm if you get a Ford, or at 6200 rpm in the case of Honda.
I see a problem here: according to SZ assumptions, we should use less
fuel at 7000 rpm, when we have less
power, but let's move on over the "little problem" of calculating thermal efficiency for every speed of the engine... ehem.
I assume a thermal efficiency of 30%, that gives me 666 Kwatts (nice number!
If you run your engine for one hour you have 200 Kwatts-hour, that's like 720 Mjoules (at 3.6 Mjoules per Kwatt-hour).
In one minute you get 12 Mjoules of work (that is, 720/60).
Knowing that gasoline gives you 47 Mjoules per kilogram, you have to use .255 Kg of gasoline (that I get from 12/47). That's a little over half a pound of gas per minute, which means less than 0.09 gallons/minute (dividing by 6 pounds per gallon), a figure very different from the "volumetric" answer I got in the first attempt.
To sum up:
Fuel used (gallons/minute) = Power (HP) * 0.000351
As I know already (from the second attempt) that you have to multiply the fuel used by 1100, I getThird formula
if you know the power of your engine
Air used (cfm) = Power (HP) * 0.39
In your case:
Air used = 275 HP * 0.39 = 105 cfm
(give or take)
That's like 1/4th of the first, "volumetric" answer I got.
Can anyone explain where I made a mistake? Or, in the improbable case I made no mistakes (in the 15 minutes I spent on this), why the air seems to be at 1/4th of the "normal" density inside the cylinder? | <urn:uuid:dbd88e2a-b250-498a-9316-25edb8017837> | CC-MAIN-2014-41 | http://www.f1technical.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5729 | 2014-09-15T02:00:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-41/segments/1410657102753.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20140914011142-00340-ip-10-196-40-205.us-west-1.compute.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.93383 | 930 |
Olympia man's severe amnesia rare
Seattle Times medical reporter
The amnesia reported by an Olympia man who turned up in Denver — memory loss so severe that a person cannot remember his or her own identity for a long period of time — is so rare that very little is known about it, experts said yesterday as the man returned home to Washington.
"It's extremely, extremely unusual," said Dr. Murray Raskind, chief of psychiatry at the Veterans Affairs medical center in Seattle.
Jeff Ingram, 40, reported that he had wandered the streets of Denver before he "woke up" and asked doctors and police there for help in learning his own identity.
After reportedly attempting to discover his identity for weeks, he was identified Sunday by his fiancée, Penny Hansen of Olympia, after she saw him on a television news report.
The couple were reunited Monday morning after Ingram flew to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. But he did not recognize Hansen, their pets or their home, said Marilyn Meehan, a family friend.
"They're taking it one step at a time," said Meehan.
Ingram and Hansen have declined interviews.
Ingram had disappeared after leaving Olympia on Sept. 6 to drive to Alberta, Canada, to visit a friend who is dying of cancer. A missing-person report was filed when he didn't show up in Alberta and had not arrived at the home of his fiancée's mother in Bellingham, where he also had scheduled a visit.
Denver police said that Ingram had been diagnosed with "dissociative fugue," a disorder in which a person unexpectedly begins traveling and then has no idea who he or she is.
The condition is not due to drug abuse, medication or a medical condition such as epilepsy, according to a clinical manual on mental disorders. It is most often related to stressful life events.
Though extended amnesia can occur, recovery is usually rapid, says the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.
Meehan said Hansen believes the stress of the impending death of Ingram's friend triggered his condition.
Ingram's friends have reported that Ingram had a similar episode about 10 years ago, after he was beaten and robbed while on the way to a grocery. He was found nine months later in Seattle after being treated at Harborview Medical Center, friends said.
On Monday, both Raskind and Dr. Elaine Peskind, also a VA psychiatrist, said the condition has not been well studied because it is so rare. Only about 0.2 percent of the population has ever been diagnosed with the disorder.
During extremely stressful events such as war or natural disasters, the prevalence may increase, according to the psychiatric manual.
A person with the condition may travel for hours or days to months, wandering thousands of miles.
The person usually appears normal and doesn't attract attention until he or she is unable to remember recent events or his or her own identity.

Those are where anyone can check the code that runs it and see if there’s any malicious code built in and so it’s much easier to know the chances are much higher of whatever program, plugin or app you are using is not harvesting your data, not spying on you and is not baiting you into giving up information that they will sell to advertisers or others.
There are many places you can look into using Open Source programs and apps, one that springs to mind is for Android users https://f-droid.org/
I mention and list these things because it is your right to know about what companies may be doing with or without your knowledge and permission and also because if we want a better world we must (for tons of reasons) be able to safeguard ourselves as much as possible from surveillance from corporate or government entities and even individuals and to make a world where people, companies and governments won’t trample your rights.
As mentioned above, the more you learn on these issues the clearer it will be why I posted this for you. | <urn:uuid:298c4843-cf2a-48be-957c-d7b9bed2463a> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://earthlifemusic.com/privacy/ | 2021-03-06T11:47:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178374686.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20210306100836-20210306130836-00532.warc.gz | en | 0.95135 | 647 |

Peter Stein- There Is A Light CD
‘There Is A Light’, the remarkable, posthumous album recorded by Australian singer songwriter, Peter Stein
'The album title There Is A Light, encapsulates our father well. It points to his eternal optimism, deep curiosity and faith, which deeply informed who he was and his songwriting. This is no more present than on tracks, The Sun Will Shine Again and There Is A Light in Israel. But it’s on the song I’ll Be Waiting, you really get the sense that he’s hinting at another time and another place far beyond this one, where I’ve no doubt he will be waiting, with a knowing smile and a well worn hat, strumming on that guitar'.

Last winter we planted over 5000 trees!

Bare rooted at Butterley
The folks on the hillside.
One of the tags from our TCV trees.
This week we began planting 450 trees that came to us courtesy of the TCV Big Tree Plant initiative. Unlike our usual supplies these came bare rooted, which caused some consternation. Bare rooted require a slightly different planting technique, and care has to be taken that the tree roots don't dry out. We were: myself, Stephen, Peter T, Geoff, Duncan (and Harvey the dog), Remy, Cath, Vashti, Jess, Andrew, Philip, and Ben. We think we planted around 200 trees, but it is harder to keep count of the bare rooted sort, as they come in big sacks, rather than in handy packs of 15. As a note for next week, we left 95 deer stakes, 120 deer guards, and around 45 hare stakes and guards on site.
Once again we could see the Senior Section on a far hillside, removing guards at Marsden Golf course. | <urn:uuid:76aafdf2-1104-468f-8dd8-adffdb2843d6> | CC-MAIN-2017-51 | http://colnevalleytreesociety.blogspot.com/2014/01/bare-rooted-at-butterley.html | 2017-12-17T14:06:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-51/segments/1512948596051.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20171217132751-20171217154751-00755.warc.gz | en | 0.955154 | 244 |

The government’s £26,000 benefit cap is one of the most popular policies pollsters have ever come across. No wonder, then, that CCHQ is putting this infographic about to underline the political power of this emblematic policy as it is rolled out nationwide today.
Of course, it’s not entirely true that Labour supports limitless benefits, as the party is considering some kind of regional benefit cap, with more money paid to recipients in London to reflect the higher cost of living. But Liam Byrne and Ed Miliband’s decision to lead the party into voting against the cap in the end makes it very easy for the Conservatives to slap Labour with the ‘limitless’ tag.
The polling success of the cap means the Conservative party is more likely to go into the next election promising an even lower cap. Chris Skidmore suggested in an interview with Coffee House last autumn that it should be around £15,000 – £17,000. This would form one of the spending cuts George Osborne will be promising after confirming last week that he plans to plug the post-2015 black hole with cuts not tax rises. Others could include the 40 group’s suggested restrictions on benefits for teenage mothers (although the savings from this group would likely be rather small and more of a statement cut than anything else) and scrapping housing benefits for under-25s. Expect to see many more infographics as the Conservatives dream up other emblematic cuts. | <urn:uuid:1444b619-4514-40ee-8333-89a59575ea82> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | https://blogs.spectator.co.uk/2013/07/benefit-caps-polling-success-paves-way-for-tough-2015-promises/ | 2019-05-20T09:06:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232255837.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20190520081942-20190520103942-00488.warc.gz | en | 0.952789 | 298 |
Kathleen 'Kay' McNulty Mauchly Antonelli, born in Donegal, where our lovely Lottie HQ is based, is one of six original computer programmers of ENIAC, the first electric, general-purpose computer.
Kathleen was a pioneer of the computer revolution, and one of the original programmers of the first electronic computer, ENIAC. She was born in Cresslough in 1921, and moved to Pennsylvania, in the United States with her family when she was a young child. After graduating school she attended Chestnut Hill College for Women, taking every available maths course the college offered! She graduated with a Degree in Mathematics in 1942.

Kathleen began her career as a human 'computer', using mechanical desk calculators to compute missile trajectories in aid of the war effort - each gun required its own firing table, which had about 1,800 trajectories, and each trajectory required 30 - 40 hours of work on a calculator!
Kathleen worked her way up the ranks, proving herself time and time again with calculations. She was invited to work on the high-speed machines which were being secretly developed as part of the war effort, this was ENIAC, the first general-purpose electric computer. ENIAC stands for Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer, and Kathleen was one of the first programmers ever on this electronic computer. The women taught themselves how to program, and were able to then perform calculations in 15-seconds.

During her time working, she met one of the ENIAC co-founders, John W. Malachy, who she went on to marry in 1948 and raised seven children with him. Outside of work and marriage, she was also an active volunteer, taking part in her community school as a substitute teacher, and with the Girl Scouts and Cub Scouts as Den Leader.
Kathleen and John Mauchly Wedding
Kathleen would later remarry American-Italian photographer Severo Antonelli in 1985. Kathleen herself outlived both her husbands and continued her ENIAC legacy into later life by giving talks, writing articles and interviewing with reporters alongside her life-long best friend Jean Jennings Bartik, whom she worked with as a computer programmer on ENIAC.
For many years she was honoured as the widow of John Malachy but finally, in 1997, she was recognised for her own contribution to computer history and was inducted into the Women in Technology International Hall of Fame (WITI). A Medal in Computer Science is named in her honour also, in the Letterkenny Institute of Technology, which she visited during a tour in 1999.

Kathleen passed away in 2006, but she will be remembered for living a long and successful life: both as a wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother - and as a pioneer in computer programming, where she will go down in history as a historical figure. | <urn:uuid:cf1547c9-acb2-403b-8057-cfae3720c488> | CC-MAIN-2021-21 | https://uk.lottie.com/blogs/blog/inspiring-women-in-history-kathleen-mcnulty-a-pioneer-of-the-computer-revolution | 2021-05-07T15:56:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-21/segments/1620243988796.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20210507150814-20210507180814-00064.warc.gz | en | 0.977045 | 623 |

Conference on Early British Literature will provide scholarly opportunities
We are excited to be hosting the 2015 Northern Plains Conference on Early British Literature at Mayville State on April 10 and 11. Erin Lord Kunz, MSU assistant professor of English and writing program administrator, is organizing the two-day event.
Dr. Lynn Arner of Brock University, St. Catharine’s, Ontario, will give the plenary address. Dr. Arner is trained in late medieval English literature, critical theory, British cultural studies, feminist theory, and gender studies. She recently published Chaucer, Gower, and the Vernacular Rising: Poetry and the Problem of the Populace After 1381. We look forward to welcoming Dr. Arner and British Literature scholars from across the region to the 2015 Northern Plains Conference.
Erin Lord Kunz is currently accepting 200- to 300-word abstracts from those who wish to make presentations at the conference. Those selected will be grouped by theme and given 15 to 20 minutes for presentation. Conference participants will be given the opportunity to have their papers published in the conference proceedings.
The conference offers meaningful intellectual opportunities for Mayville State University students. They have been invited to submit proposals, and if selected, they will make presentations during the conference. In addition, the Saturday conference itinerary includes a round table discussion on Early British Literature particularly geared toward undergraduates. Dr. Arner will also be holding a round table discussion about gender issues in the university, which is open to undergraduates, and students may sit in on any of the lectures if they so choose.
For more than 22 years, the Northern Plains Conference on Early British Literature has established a tradition of convivial, stimulating conferences which focus on teaching and scholarship from the beginnings of British Literature through the 18th Century. Papers on all aspects of teaching, interpretation, and research on Early British Literature are invited for the yearly conference.
Leaders of the Northern Plains Conference on Early British Literature include Lysbeth Benkert-Rasmussen, Northern State University, Aberdeen, S.D.; Bruce Brandt, South Dakota State University, Brookings, S.D.; Glenn Davis, St. Cloud State University, St. Cloud, Minn.; Bob DeSmith, Dordt College, Sioux Center, Iowa; Elizabeth Haller, Northern State University, Aberdeen, S.D.; Stephen Hamrick, Minnesota State University Moorhead, Moorhead, Minn.; Matthew Harkins, College of Saint Benedict, St. John’s University, Collegeville, Minn.; and Wesley Hellman, University of Mary, Bismarck, N.D.

A licence for the Tympuchikansky area was received in 2005, and for the Vakunaysky and Ignyalinsky fields in 2007.
The Chonskaya group is situated 80 km from the Eastern Siberia - Pacific Ocean (ESPO) pipeline. The group currently has a total of 57 wells. The licence holder is Gazpromneft-Angara, a wholly owned subsidiary of Gazprom Neft.
The increase in the Chonskaya group's reserves was made possible by drilling an exploratory well, re-testing previously drilled ones, and re-interpreting all of the existing geological and geophysical information, including information gathered from new 3D seismic exploration work and electrical exploration.
As a result of this work, a unified seismic model of the entire territory of licensed areas was prepared, which will be refined by subsequent geological surveys.
More than 10 prospecting and exploratory wells are expected to be drilled, 2-3 previously drilled wells are to be re-tested each year, and 3,000 linear kilometers and 600 square kilometers respectively of electrical exploration and 3D seismic surveys are to be carried out within the licence areas over the next three years. | <urn:uuid:1cca7921-c54f-4948-8b63-3052c66508b4> | CC-MAIN-2018-30 | http://www.gazprom-neft.com/press-center/news/4610/ | 2018-07-18T10:14:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-30/segments/1531676590127.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20180718095959-20180718115959-00512.warc.gz | en | 0.945463 | 241 |

Torchy's Tacos and Verts Kebap: two case studies in culinary expansion
Restaurant chains may seem like a modern American phenomenon, but they actually have deep roots in American culture dating back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Entrepreneur Fred Harvey's Harvey House epitomized fine-dining food quality and service to railway customers from the 1870s through the 1950s, and Howard Johnson followed suit with eateries attached to hotels and motor courts after automobiles became the preferred method of transportation. Chain restaurants with standardized menus and service methods could be counted on to deliver the same dining experience in each outlet and that reliability appealed to a significant portion of the American dining public.
Along with football teams, quirky politicians, guitar slingers, and independent filmmakers, Austin is also known as the home base for several successful restaurant chains. Former mayor Harry Akin started his long-running chain of Night Hawk restaurants and steakhouses in the Thirties, spawning a very successful frozen-food company. (The Frisco is the last vestige of the Night Hawk chain still in operation here.) Ralph Moreland came along in 1952 with the Holiday House, serving "flame-kissed" burgers until just after the turn of the 21st century. Local multiple-outlet chains that are still thriving include – take a deep breath – Mr. Gatti's Pizza, Schlotzsky's, the Tamale Houses, Thundercloud Subs, Kerbey Lane Cafe, the County Line, Chuy's, Trudy's, Amy's Ice Creams, Texadelphia, Delaware Subs, Z'Tejas, Maudie's, Austin's Pizza, Taco Shack, Tacodeli, P. Terry's, Mighty Fine Burgers & Fries, Waterloo Ice House, Mama Fu's, and PhoNatic.
So, what is it about Austin that makes it a good proving ground for homegrown restaurant chains? Do we take proprietary pride in eateries that come to life in our own backyard? Or is it just that our culinary creative class turns out special ideas and we appreciate a job well done and support it with our dining-out dollars? Austin's rapidly evolving culinary scene is busy generating successful chain restaurants in the same market that embraces quirky food trucks, artisan barbecue joints, and high-profile fine dining. We talked with the owners of two of the fastest growing chains – one a classically trained chef with a passion for food, the others, two savvy young businessmen with a salable idea – to get an idea of what it takes to get a successful Austin chain off the ground.
Truckin': The Torchy's Model
Before moving to Austin, Virginia native and Johnson & Wales culinary graduate Michael Rypka had a pretty high-powered career as a corporate chef at such places as the World Bank in D.C. and Enron in Houston. Once here, he became corporate chef for Comida Deluxe, then the parent company for Chuy's and other restaurant concepts owned by longtime Austin restaurateurs Mike Young and John Zapp. "Actually, I attribute much of my success with Torchy's to learning about entrepreneurship from them," Rypka says. "They've been very supportive and enthusiastic about my company."
While still at Comida Deluxe, Rypka started investigating the food truck trend; soon after, he struck out on his own as one of Austin's food truck pioneers, alongside Hey Cupcake and Flip Happy Crepes. He launched the first Torchy's Tacos trailer on an empty lot overlooking Bouldin Creek in August of 2006. After an enthusiastic reception, he created the South Austin Trailer Park & Eatery, where he leased space to additional trailers, provided parking, and offered a covered dining area. "The landlord gave me a long-term lease and said he didn't care what I did there as long as I didn't cut down any trees or decide to build any condos," Rypka recalls. Once the trailer park was successfully established, Rypka began considering expansion. "At that point, I figured if I could get into a brick-and-mortar spot, I'd be happy," he says.
Rypka and his investors initially broke into brick-and-mortar eateries by picking up leases on small, failed restaurants and giving the available facilities a "Torchy's" spin. "We did our first few that way, expanding mostly just from customers approaching us, wanting to know when we were going to do one in their neighborhood," he says. The company soon began expanding on a larger scale and now has 21 outlets in Austin, Round Rock, Cedar Park, Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth, and Lubbock; No. 22 opens soon in Waco. They've stuck to the Austin metro area and Texas college towns so far, but out-of-state expansion is a possibility: "We're considering dipping our toes in Colorado." Some Torchy's outlets in other cities already offer full bar service, but the first local Torchy's to boast a "Firewater" menu will open in the Mueller development this summer. "We're still primarily focused on food, but offering alcohol does give people an extra incentive to spend money," he explains.
As the company developed momentum, Rypka stresses that a key element to the successful expansion has been developing an ownership and management team with complementary skills. "Our group consists of Alfonso Angelone [director of IT], Jay Wald [in charge of operations], Farrell Kubena, who oversees real estate and construction, and his wife, Rebecca Kubena, who takes care of finance and insurance." Rypka also says employee retention and promoting from within have been crucial elements to Torchy's progress. When asked about advice for potential culinary entrepreneurs, Rypka offers this encouragement: "Put a lot of effort into finding the right people and make sure to keep a local, non-corporate feel to things."
Flying Direct: Verts Kebap's Path From Berlin to Austin
When German business students Michael Heyne and Dominik Stein did their junior year abroad on the campus of Southern Methodist University in Dallas in 2008, they spent a fair amount of time investigating why their homeland's most popular immigrant street food didn't seem to exist anywhere in America. "Döner kebap is a dish that came to Europe with Turkish immigrants. Family-run kebap shops account for 50 percent of fast food sales in Germany," Heyne explains. When the two friends realized the only reason doner kebap didn't exist here was a lack of familiarity, these astute young men recognized a potential business opportunity. With the success of Chipotle in their minds, they began to consider the best American city in which to launch a healthy, fast-casual restaurant chain.
That dovetailed with another search: Which American campus to choose for their MBA program? They considered schools in Atlanta, San Diego, and New Orleans, but recognized that Austin shared many similarities with Berlin – an educated population, plus thriving art, music, and culinary scenes driven by young people. And besides, Heyne says that after spending a year at SMU, they'd gathered that "everything cool comes from Austin." So, Austin it was.
Three days after graduating from UT's McCombs School of Business in August of 2010, Heyne and Stein launched their first two Verts Kebap outlets on Guadalupe, right across the street from the UT campus. Their friends and family provided the initial investment, and they did much of the design and construction themselves. In keeping with that DIY aesthetic and a desire to operate a green business model, the new shops were efficiently promoted with a tricked-out Smart Car that would charge up and make 90-minute forays around town selling kebaps. Offering fresh, substantial entrée servings under 600 calories and salads at 250 calories, their menu was an immediate hit with health- and price-conscious Austin consumers.
Verts has since opened 10 stores in the Austin metro area, with the partners still doing much of the labor themselves – although expansion means spreading the workload around. "The Anderson Lane store was the first one designed by Michael Hsu," Heyne reports, "and the Mueller outlet is the first one we didn't build ourselves." They're opening four stores in Houston this year with a planned total of six, and they have plans for stores in Dallas, as well. They are keeping their ownership and management team small and plan to retain company ownership of all the outlets.
Heyne handles marketing and operations while Stein covers finance and human resources. They go over Yelp reviews every week and respond to negative posts personally to solve problems. They are also still developing menu items, such as falafel, as well as operating systems as the young company grows. For example, Heyne says, "Only now have we been able to start recycling, which had been in our plans all along." They are especially proud of partnerships they've developed with other local companies, including FODA Studio, New World Bakery, Live Oak Brewing, (512) Brewing, Independence Brewing, and White Mountain Foods.
Though the Verts founders jumped into the restaurant business with no food background whatsoever, they are confident in their unique product and their business model – and for good reason. This fast-casual chain appears to be on the fast track to success. | <urn:uuid:7191b981-0e1e-4baf-813b-5fd74af46528> | CC-MAIN-2018-39 | https://www.austinchronicle.com/food/2014-03-28/chain-gangs/ | 2018-09-25T19:07:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-39/segments/1537267162385.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20180925182856-20180925203256-00019.warc.gz | en | 0.968689 | 1,917 |
Internet traffic suggests this is a very common problem, and to repair the headlights, the front bumper must be dropped slightly for the assembly to be removed, of course at considerable expense.
When the lights go out, they come on again if to move the switch from auto lights to manual, however they will go out again often at the worst time, very unsafe. Any suggestions?
have the same problem?

Then the weekend of May 16th through the 18th, Seattle will be invaded by hordes of cheeseheads at the fourth annual Seattle Cheese Festival at the Pike Place Market. There will be cheese tasting, of course, and seminars by leading cheesemakers and writers like Peter Dixon from Vermont; Jeffrey Roberts, author of the Atlas of American Artisan Cheese; and Daphne Zepos of the Essex St. Cheese Co. in New York, all of whom have been featured on this very blog. (Ahem!) And Tami at the Pacific NW Cheese Project informs us that there will also be a grilled cheese contest, a "Truckle Roll" where teams race to roll wheels of cheese over a finish line (apparently hilarious to behold) and a children's parade. Not to mention wine tasting, cheese sampling, cooking demos...if it's cheesy, they're doing it!

BBC News, Bangkok
A state of emergency remains in place across the capital, Bangkok
One of the leaders of the "red-shirt" protest movement in Thailand has promised to continue a clandestine campaign against the government.
Jakrapob Penkair managed to escape overseas after the army broke up the mass protests in Bangkok a week ago.
Speaking to the BBC from in hiding, he said the movement would use different tactics to confront the government, including possible armed attacks.
The protesters say the government is illegitimate, and want fresh elections.
The sudden collapse of the red-shirt protests last week has left the movement in disarray.
Five of the organisers have been arrested and are being held under the emergency decree, which is still in effect. The police have issued arrest warrants for another 48.
However one of its most outspoken leaders, Jakrapob Penkair, has managed to flee the country.
Speaking by phone from an undisclosed location, he told the BBC that the struggle to bring down the current government would continue, but that they would no longer rely on conventional forms of protest.
"The state of emergency is a big help. It puts people underground.
"I believe the room for unarmed and non-violent means to resolve Thailand's problem is getting smaller every day," he said.
There have been sporadic attempts to blockade roads and public buildings in the north of Thailand - a stronghold of the red-shirt movement - but little other activity since the protesters were surrounded by troops and forced to disperse last week.
Radio and television channels sympathetic to the movement have been shut down, and coverage by other Thai media has been largely negative following the violent clashes in Bangkok.
There is still strong mass support for the movement's goal of a new constitution and the rehabilitation of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra in parts of the country.
But it is not clear how that now can be translated into an effective challenge to the government. | <urn:uuid:b4215921-078c-4c10-b89b-b9c7c5a5f924> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8009529.stm | 2016-10-27T04:34:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988721067.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183841-00015-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.971386 | 403 |
We are excited to announce that our book, Wisdom from Adoptive Families: Joys and Challenges in Older Child Adoption was released a few days early!
Here are what some of the reviewers have said about Wisdom from Adoptive Families:
“This is a much needed resource! Anyone who has adopted an older child or is considering the possibility can learn from these insights and real-life examples. The authors understand the specific needs of older children and how their histories have impacted their current needs and behaviors. They grasp the relationship between trauma and brain chemistry while also conveying the hope that deep healing is possible when parents are both equipped and supported. Because attachment is developmental, this book offers practical ideas for connecting with older children with consideration to unique challenges that were learned survival skills. I admire Dr. Kittle and Dr. Reed for their own wisdom and compassion in tackling this subject. After reading this book, I hope parents are able to see beyond behaviors to their child’s needs and preciousness.” -Terri Coley, Post-Adoption Coordinator at Show Hope | <urn:uuid:df26f74b-5993-4680-801c-1787a8112678> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://adoptionsurvival.com/new-book-released/ | 2018-11-14T15:49:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039742117.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20181114150002-20181114172002-00064.warc.gz | en | 0.976549 | 220 |

“We were a little surprised at first, but the reason is that there are things that can actually catch fire, like pillows, sleeping bags or reindeer skins,” hotel spokeswoman Beatrice Karlsson said.
“To us the most important concern is the safety of our clients, so we will comply,” she added.
The hotel will open from December 6 to April 13, with prices ranging from 1,900 kronor (212 euro, $285) for a single room to 7,500 kronor for the most expensive suite.
Tourists come from all over the world to sleep on an ice bed in temperatures as low as minus eight degrees Celsius (18 degrees Fahrenheit).
The alarms, which were already tested last winter with the local fire department, have made construction of the hotel, conceived as a work of art, even harder than before.
“The environment is humid, and ice and snow… move, so it had to be taken into account,” Karlsson said.
“It’s been a challenge for our building team, but it made us one experience richer.” | <urn:uuid:e6ed69a3-c2fa-4153-b3d0-f3d1493a9add> | CC-MAIN-2017-09 | https://www.talkvietnam.com/2013/11/swedish-ice-hotel-to-install-fire-alarms/ | 2017-02-22T04:22:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-09/segments/1487501170884.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20170219104610-00190-ip-10-171-10-108.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.970774 | 237 |
When worse comes to worst, there’s very little that can intervene to make things right again. However, sometimes faith and believing in a greater good can get things off to the right start. This is exactly what The Christmas Hope by Donna VanLiere is about.
Patricia and Mark Addison have a meaningless marriage. It used to be good and perfect, but in the years after a tragedy, they’ve simply grown apart. And now Mark is making the move in the direction of leaving – right in the midst of the Christmas season. But Christmas doesn’t mean anything to this couple anymore. It hasn’t in a long time. However, Patricia’s job as a social worker is about to change that.
When Patricia bends the rules and brings a five-year-old foster child to her own home, things begin to change in the Addison household. All little Emily needs a good Christmas after experiencing her own tragedy and Patricia has sworn to give her just that. And whilst pepping up her own Christmas spirit, it seems Mark is ready to join the cause too. Can this angel in the form of a little girl mend their fences? Can they mend hers?
This book embodies everything that is Christmas. I’m sure we can all remember what Christmas was like when we were little. The tree, the gifts, the family. Mostly, childhood Christmas was a good thing. I don’t think this book would have been the same if it didn’t have the setting it has. If it had been set in any other month, it would have just been bland. But by setting this story during the Christmas season, it lets it sparkle. You can see everything in a new light because your own heart is filled with their Christmas joy. It’s what supports the story and makes it lively.
I really enjoyed this book and it was a fairly quick read. It was quirky and beautiful seeing the Addisons and little Emily working through their struggles together. They all became supportive and real. This is exactly what Christmas should be to me. We should all be there to support each other and enjoy the company of family – even if it’s a makeshift family. The only flaw I found in this book – and it isn’t really a flaw – was the way the ending shocked me. I thought it would end one way, then it seemed it was going to end another. Then it ended perfectly. It was back and forth and had me a bit worried by time the last five pages rolled around. But that’s the work of a good author giving you a suspense factor. Overall, I’d give The Christmas Hope by Donna VanLiere a 5 out of 5. | <urn:uuid:f48a9805-1ebc-4c81-b73e-931e1e6ca6b5> | CC-MAIN-2017-30 | https://renderingaview.wordpress.com/2014/01/17/review-the-christmas-hope-by-donna-vanliere/ | 2017-07-25T00:33:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-30/segments/1500549424945.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20170725002242-20170725022242-00273.warc.gz | en | 0.977654 | 564 |
Here's a few tips for lightening your paper load:
- Save bills as PDFs and shred the paper. Almost all my bills and bank statements are available as PDFs online, awesome!
- Scan old files, scrapbooks, photos and toss the originals. I scanned scrapbooks, pictures and other momentos I want to be able to look at again, but don't need in paper form.
- Toss old manuals warranties, etc. for replaced items. The old owners of my house saved and passed down manuals for everything: the furnace, appliance, even light fixtures. It's handy and nice, but now I have to remember to toss out the old when replacing things.
- Toss paint chips, old birthday cards, etc. Sure some of these may be sentimental, or you may want to keep paint chips for colors you've used, but you don't need to hang on to all of these. | <urn:uuid:60def153-a024-4507-9a61-63719e574ee5> | CC-MAIN-2017-34 | http://minhus.blogspot.com/2010/04/ | 2017-08-18T22:07:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-34/segments/1502886105187.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20170818213959-20170818233959-00248.warc.gz | en | 0.944685 | 189 |
By Amateur Philosopher Penny Ham
A specter is haunting America. The specter is Robot Communism.
Karl Marx saw history in terms of group conflict. The group conflict involved ownership over the means of production. As technology advanced, group conflict over the means of production would resolve itself into a new kind of group conflict. According to Marx, the group conflict will eventually terminate and an era of communism would come about. Marx was almost right but communism can be easily fixed if robots are thrown into the picture. Thus, robot communism is the future and not mere communism.
The first stage of conflict was between the free and the slaves. Society during this period was composed of patricians, knights, plebians, and slaves. But the spectrum was clear. Free on one end and slaves on the other. Technology progressed and the conflict resolved itself, spelling a new stage for history.
The second stage was the conflict between feudal lords and serfs. Society was more progressive during this time than the previous stage because serfs were better off than their slave ancestors. But technology developed some more and the conflict resolved itself and produced the third stage of history.
The third stage of history is where we find ourselves now: the conflict between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat. Our society is now more simplified and more conflicted between two disparate groups: the rich and the poor. The poor have more rights than their serf predecessors. The antagonism resolves itself in a unique and completely different way.
Marx believed that after the bourgeoisie and proletariat class struggle ended, the last stage and final resolved stage would be communism. Communism would mean the creation of a classless society where everyone would have equality and good paying jobs and a good life.
Well, Marx was almost right but he was off by about 200-300 years. Marx significantly underestimated the amount of time it would take for capitalism to produce communism. The coming of the robots in capitalism will spell the beginning of communism.
As technology progresses the situation of the working class will only improve. We have a long way to go but computers and robots are slowly becoming more and more integrated and we are slowly seeing the integration of robot workers in our lives. For example, robots help make our automobiles in the automobile industry. Eventually robots will begin to become more anthropomorphic and when that happens, robots will be in competition with humans in the job market.
Anthropomorphic robots will be problematic at first since a lot of people in the lower part of the job market are going to start losing their jobs but after that we will only see our lives improve rapidly. When robots begin performing the brute jobs that humans already perform, this means those kinds of jobs do not need to be paid for. But who needs to get paid? Well, the engineers. But what is going to happen soon after that? The engineers are going to be replaced by robots because the robots can work on other robots.
Meanwhile, the people who are laid off from these lower level jobs by robots are going to be spoiled by these same robots at home. Why? Because robots are going to work for them for free. In such a world no one has to work for wage anymore because robots will work for nothing and work for anyone. But robots are not everything, right? They can work but they cannot dream. Thus human beings will “work” together in mutual cooperation in the areas of theoretical science, philosophy, art, and anywhere else that requires the creative imagination.

Looking at last season's rebounding numbers, it would be hard to tell Northern Illinois was typically out-sized every time out on the court.
Despite featuring only two 6-footers, the NIU women's basketball team out-rebounded opponents in 20 of 31 contests during the 2011-12 season. They did it on both ends of the floor, averaging more offensive and defensive rebounds than their opponents.
"We were good because we knew that was a weakness," NIU coach Kathi Bennett said. "[5-foot-10 forward Kim Davis] was a great rebounder, she led us in rebounding so we have to replace that."
Trying to fill the void will be an influx of newcomers who give NIU and Bennett something the team hasn't had a lot of during her first two years in DeKalb: height.
Jada Buggs, a sophomore transfer from Wisconsin, is eligible to play after sitting out last season, and freshmen McKenzie Hoelmenn and Nichole Wittman are part of the latest Bennett recruiting class. All three stand at least 6-0.
"We’re playing bigger teams, teams that are in the Big Ten, bigger conferences and they are always going to be a lot bigger than us," senior forward Shaakira Haywood said. "But I think it helps us a lot because we have more depth along the line on the bench and on the court, we can hold our ground against them."
That first test will come today on the road against Iowa. But Bennett expects there to be some growing pains early on.
NIU's defensive schemes require its bigs to be active, something Bennett said Davis was great at.
"Everybody runs ball-screen action, and you've got to get your posts out there," Bennett said. "You can’t lay back in zone or be even, you have to be sprinting out with them, and that’s a hard adjustment from high school to college."
Offensively, NIU will have to replace Claire Jakubicek, who led the Huskies with 11 points a game, but transferred to Indiana in the spring.
Bennett raved about Hoelmenn's willingness to be physical inside and her feel for the game as a freshman and also noted many players who could step away from the basket and be a threat beyond the arc, something the Huskies have been lacking in the previous two seasons.
"[Buggs] can definitely step out and shoot the 3," Bennett said. "Jenna [Thorp] has worked hard on her shot. Nichole Wittman can step out and shoot the 3, and so can [Natecia Augusta], so that gives us where they have to guard us on the perimeter and that will be nice."
Bennett said she is trying to keep things simple, not wanting to overwhelm a younger team with too much too soon. But she expects the added depth and height to be an advantage later on.
"They’re going to get better because they are always doing extra, very motivated," Bennett said. "They are really trying to get better, so I think over the long haul we will have that depth and strength inside." | <urn:uuid:f6f79a25-e7c1-480c-b358-a7db2c06da4e> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://www.daily-chronicle.com/2012/11/09/niu-womens-basketball-adds-height-depth-to-roster/aj92w4x/?page=2 | 2017-05-25T08:55:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463608058.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20170525083009-20170525103009-00488.warc.gz | en | 0.979387 | 663 |

Big-wave riders do what they do because that's their true passion. Surfing Waimea Bay in the late '60s, there was no crowd and no cameras on the beach, and there was no money in big-wave riding at all. There were just a handful of guys like Barry Kanaiaupuni and Jose Angel who rode big waves because it was their passion. I think I'm the last remaining big-wave rider of that era.
In Hawaiian culture you don't really talk to your mentors; you just watch what they do and keep your mouth quiet. Then you go home and practice, practice, practice. That's how I learned from Eddie. I watched him for two years before I paddled out at Waimea. I was a scaredy-cat, but I watched where he was sitting and what he was doing because I knew eventually I would grow the courage to paddle out with him.
There's a lot more respect in big-wave lineups than small-wave lineups. In big waves, you might not like a guy for whatever reason, but when the shit hits the fan and somebody gets hurt, everybody comes to help.
If you think you need a flotation vest to ride 20-foot waves, you have no business being out in those waves. If you aren't confident in your conditioning or you don't think you can withstand getting caught by a 30-foot closeout set without using a vest, then don't go out.
When you go for the big-mamma waves, make sure you've got the right board. Don't surf gigantic waves on an 8-foot board. Some guys are trying to do that, but they're not really catching the big-mamma waves.
Health and family are top priorities. I've been happily married for 33 years to my lovely wife, Eleni Aikau, and she has been my backbone of my entire life.
The shorebreak at Waimea can break your bones and drag you out like driftwood. In 1969, I joined Eddie as a lifeguard at Waimea. We both worked there for 10 years, all the way until he went on the Hokulea. We saved more than 500 lives.
Let go, but don't forget. Sometimes I miss Eddie when I surf Waimea, but I've accepted what he did and I respect the choice he made.
In Hawaii we say, "Don't be high maka maka." "High maka maka" is when you're famous and you don't have time for anybody. That attitude is bullshit. You might be champion of the world for a few years, but then someone else will come along.
Somebody will always catch a bigger wave than you. This year it was Aaron Gold at Jaws.
Surfing big waves alone does not make a waterman. A great waterman is someone who is adequate at a bunch of different activities. You've got to know how to dive and sail and catch fish. Kai Lenny is the perfect waterman. He can windsurf, kitesurf, SUP, surf big waves, surf small waves. And he's a nice guy who says hi to everybody. He's not on a high maka maka trip.
Be humble and help people. You might not have to give your life to save someone, but helping people is what Eddie's legacy is all about.
Let go, but don't forget. Sometimes I miss Eddie when I surf Waimea, but I've accepted what he did and I respect the choice he made. We're all going to see our loved ones sometime, but I don't really want to rush it. I want to enjoy some more waves first.

As promised, here are some deck plans for a variety of modules. I have not added a key – yet. They are mostly built from the designs shown in GURPS Traveller: Modular Cutter. However, one credit goes to a guy called Brook West who posted a design of a Recreational Vehicle Module back in 2002 on the internet. I reworked it slightly and there it is. Your own powered Winnebago in Space. It comes with a detachable nose-cone that can fit into the cargo bay to aid streamlining. | <urn:uuid:87a17e1b-6d1b-43f2-9429-4e9e6a50ad9b> | CC-MAIN-2017-30 | https://woolshedwargamer.com/2014/08/12/12-modules-for-the-50ton-modular-cutter-traveller/ | 2017-07-27T06:41:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-30/segments/1500549427749.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20170727062229-20170727082229-00622.warc.gz | en | 0.959382 | 111 |

So, besides eating cheap, my other hobby is cooking quick meals.
Today, I was at the chem building from 7:45 AM and I walked in my door at 9:06 PM. I had gone for a run, too, so I was starving. I knew I had two avocados that were nearing the end of their shelf life, so I pulled out everything in my fridge and pantry that was opened and needed to be eaten:
1/2 bulb of garlic
1/2 bag of onions
1/4 box of spaghetti
2 eggs way past their expiration date
The first component was easy- I made guacamole. I’m a big baby about doing dishes, so I always mix my guac in a tupperware instead of a bowl. It makes me feel like I’ll make a good housewife someday, once I’m done with this PhD business and all. (kidding.)
1 clove garlic, fine chop
1/4 onion, fine chop
salt, pepper to taste
cumin to taste
taco seasoning, to taste
2 large spoonfuls of plain (homemade!) yogurt
time: 5 minutes
I just mixed it all together. It definitely could have used some cilantro. Sometimes if I don’t have cilantro I’ll super finely chop celery to give it that fresh taste…but I didn’t have any of that, either 😦 The yogurt made the cilantro deliciously creamy. My old roommate used to put sour cream in her guac, so I kind of stole that idea.
Next, I decided to boil the spaghetti in the whey. This was really interesting because it gave the spaghetti a very sweet taste. I liked it..it tasted more like fresh, homemade pasta to me. My roommate, on the other hand, wasn’t such a big fan. It may have been her lactose intolerance telling her that what she was eating was poison..or maybe sweet pasta just isn’t her style. The nice thing about the whey is that it all seems to get soaked up by the pasta. When I drained the pasta, maybe only a tablespoon came out. Once I put the pasta back into the pot I added a couple heaping spoonfuls of guacamole and stirred it, with the heat on low.
time: 8 minutes
While the spaghetti was cooking, I fried the two eggs, sunny side up.
time: (concurrent with spagetti, 6 minutes)
When everything was finished, I placed the guacamole laden spaghetti on the plate, put the two eggs on the side, and drizzled my homemade creme fraiche over the top.
total time (with plating): 15 minutes
The result? Amazing. It was honestly pretty reminscent of spaghetti carbonara. The yogurt and creme fraiche gave the dish that wonderfully gooey, light consistency that good carbonara sauce has. The fluffy eggs were the perfect protein to pair with the mild flavors of the guac. If I could do it over, I would probably add an orange vegetable- maybe cooked carrots or sweet potato to liven it up a little. Now, for my favorite part:
spaghetti: $0.25 (1/4 of the box, paid $1.00 for whole box) (NOT organic)
avocados: $0.80 (used 2 avocados for the sauce, but only used 1/4 of the sauce)
yogurt: $0.25 (used $2.00 of milk to make the yogurt, only used ~2 tablespoons)
garlic: $0.20 (used 1 clove)
onion: $0.20 (used 1/4 of the onion)
eggs: $0.28 (paid 2.50 for 18) (NOT organic)
creme fraiche: $0.25 (paid 2.50 to make the creme fraiche, used ~1 tablespoon)
I only ate half, and have half packed for lunch, SO:
Grand total: $1.12
I’m okay with that 🙂 | <urn:uuid:67880b76-e120-4986-b61e-913355d40646> | CC-MAIN-2018-13 | https://poorgirlorganic.wordpress.com/2012/01/23/chopped-champion-in-training/ | 2018-03-18T09:54:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-13/segments/1521257645604.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20180318091225-20180318111225-00113.warc.gz | en | 0.95255 | 875 |
These four tips can help you decide
Jackson Wightman, Allison Aitken, and Borjana Slipicevic are partners at Proper Propaganda, a PR firm that helps technology companies get noticed.
Hardware founders tend to be a bit masochistic. Sky high rates of failure, the immense headaches that come with initial production runs, and the need to spend tons of time on airplanes are evidence to this.
Being more than a tad headstrong and confident are prerequisites.
One byproduct of this delectable witches brew is a view that media coverage of a startup, its goings on, and/or its product(s) are all but guaranteed. This is dangerous and tends to get expensive once resources are poured into PR, that most fickle of marketing channels, where agencies employ by-the-hour billing models that put all risk on clients’ shoulders.
Reality, when it comes crashing down, tends to bring limited coverage, low return on investment and plenty of shade thrown at the agent or agency who failed to meet expectations
The truth is that media relations is hard, resource intense, and extremely risky. As a channel, certain pre-ordained factors greatly increase the likelihood of success or failure. Here are a few points to consider before you go betting the farm on PR.
1. Category matters
Though the tech media aren’t a monolithic block, they are susceptible to caring about specific categories at specific times. If, in a relative sense, your category has previously received a lot of media attention and now does not, it’s probably because media have become less interested in it. In this instance, in order to get coverage you need to be revolutionary or extremely newsworthy. You probably aren’t. This is especially true if you’re in a crowded space.
If startups don’t always realize the importance of category, service providers do. Some PR firms (including ours) have policies about rejecting clients from specific categories. We do this because we know they aren’t likely to get media attention and will probably have skewed expectations. This doesn’t mean these startups won’t be amazing or highly profitable companies; it just means they are not likely to get tons of coverage.
2. Feature-bombs and marginally better copycats don’t get much press
Adding a bunch of random features to existing tech does not mean you’ve built a better mousetrap. It’s amazing how many startups misunderstand this. Among the first questions tech journalists and reviewers tend to ask are ‘How is this different?’ and ‘Why is the needed?’ If your product isn’t substantively different and doesn’t address real pain points, you aren’t going to get covered. This is particularly true if you’re trying to dethrone big brand competitors.
3. You need a working prototype.
Established hardware players can get significant media attention on rumor of a new product. If sketches of their designs leak, there is often a torrent of coverage.
Newer hardware startups don’t usually get these breaks. Given the myriad crowdfunding flame outs, media have a healthy suspicion about early stage companies making big promises. Assume you will need a working prototype (“looks like/works like”), and that you will have to demo it in front of sentient human journalists in order to get media coverage.
Too often startups spend money on PR at the wrong times of the year. It boils down to myopia about their news relevance. Say you make gardening tech. Cranking up an expensive PR campaign, targeting short lead tech websites in December is a recipe for making dollars disappear. Obvious, right? Maybe. Still, it happens a lot.
Founders need to understand that there are times of the year when they’re more newsworthy and times when they need to avoid pouring too much into PR.

RR.com FBL Delayed – Expected Early 2009
Today Road Runner announced that pending upgrades to their Feed Back Loop have been delayed until early next year.
I believe this is a wise decision coming from the RR Security and Postmaster team; As making significant system changes this close to the holidays, where there tend to be lighter support teams and the increased communication schedules for many mailers and private senders, a delay will let the seasonal mail volumes function as normal and the current functional FBL will hold its own for now.
Below is all the important information contained in the latest announcement.
As you’re aware from previous notices, Road Runner is making changes to our Feedback Loop, changes that we first announced in late August of this year.
Due to circumstances beyond our control, we find it necessary to delay the launch of our new FBL a bit longer than we’d planned; at this point, we cannot say anymore about the new launch date other than ‘early 2009‘.
After launch, we will still provide a transition period of several weeks during which both the old and new feedback loops will continue to exist, in order to ensure that everyone presently enrolled in our FBL has a chance to apply for enrollment in the new FBL before the old one is shut off.
Much more information about this migration is available here:

Understanding (and avoiding) data breaches is a necessary step for businesses of all sizes if they are to recover from these costly growing threats.
Businesses of all sizes are susceptible to data breaches, but mid-size companies are especially vulnerable. Throughout 2020 and 2021, the number of cyberattacks against midsize businesses in every industry examined jumped by at least 50%, with 2021 setting a record for the most data breaches on record, according to non-profit organization Identity Theft Resource Center (ITRC). And in the first quarter of 2022, the organization reported that data breaches were up 14% over the same time period in 2021. What’s alarming about that? Typically Q1 has the lowest number of data compromises each year.
Attacks against companies in the healthcare and transportation sectors were the highest, rising by more than 125% between October 2020 and October 2021, according to a report by Coro. Incidents leveled against retail, manufacturing and professional services companies increased between 86% and 90%.
In its report, “The Great Cyber Security Market Failure and the Tragic Implications for Mid-Sized Companies,” Coro analyzed information on more than 4,000 midsize companies (defined as those with between 100 and 1,500 employees) across six industries, including retail, manufacturing, healthcare, and education.
Why are mid-size companies more vulnerable? Unlike larger, high-profile companies like MediBank and Uber, both of which have been subject to attacks in 2022, they typically lack the budgets, staff and resources to protect themselves against cyber attacks.
The pandemic also shifted workers to more remote working arrangements, growing the number of devices connecting to networks and greatly expanding the use of the cloud. Cybercriminals adapted as well, expanding their techniques to include ransomware via the cloud and email, endpoint malware, Wi-Fi phishing and insider threats.
Midsize businesses can take steps to better protect themselves from data breaches and cyber attacks. Coro CEO Guy Moskowitz offers the following advice:
- Make sure you secure your email and cloud applications against malware, ransomware and account takeover. Such protection is not typically covered by email or cloud service providers.
- Antivirus products offer only a small chunk of the protection you need. Look beyond standard antivirus solutions toward full-fledged ransomware protection and device security tools.
- Install phishing prevention and protection for your email, Wi-Fi connectivity, and cloud applications.
- If you store private information for customers or employees, be sure to set up insider threat detection and data loss prevention across your endpoints, cloud applications, cloud storage and email.
Businesses can also incorporate safety measures such as installing Identity Theft Protection Software. While there are many types of white label identity protection on the market, the important thing is to take action before it is too late. | <urn:uuid:1583dfb7-9916-4b05-ae30-5e9306ccbc03> | CC-MAIN-2023-14 | https://enfortra.com/understanding-and-avoiding-data-breaches-at-mid-size-companies/ | 2023-03-22T10:42:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-14/segments/1679296943809.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20230322082826-20230322112826-00196.warc.gz | en | 0.952575 | 578 |

Have you ever heard this sort of conversation in your ED?
Junior ED doc: Can I run my patient by you, please?
Senior ED doc: Sure
Junior: I have a 40 year old man with chest pain. I don’t think it’s anything to worry about. It only lasted 20 minutes and the patient says it was just a “mild discomfort” rather than an actual pain. He’s got no past history and he only came because his wife got worried. I want to send him home. Is that OK?
Senior ED doc: Hmmm…
It’s tempting to think that, if a pain is very mild in severity, it’s less likely to be caused by something serious like a heart attack. But what’s the truth in that? We asked just that question – is severe chest pain more likely to be a heart attack? Our findings have just been published in the European Journal of Emergency Medicine. You can find the paper at this link.
[DDET So what did we do?]
You might have already read about how we derived and then externally validated the MACS rule. For this analysis we used some of the data collected during that external validation study. So, this was a substudy of a prospective diagnostic cohort study. We included 455 patients who came to the ED with a primary complaint of chest pain, which the doctor treating the patient suspected might be cardiac.
We asked the patients to tell us how severe their pain had been at its peak from 0 to 10 (the numeric rating scale). Then, we followed the patients up. All patients had to undergo troponin testing at least 12 hours after symptom onset. Because the pain score was recorded on admission, the doctors were essentially blinded to the troponin results. Using the troponin levels and other relevant clinical information, we adjudicated which patients had an acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Then, we worked out how pain score affects the probability that a patient has AMI.
[DDET What did we find?]
We found that patients with AMI did have more severe pain, on average, than patients who didn’t have AMI. But – while this did reach statistical significance (p=0.03) – the actual difference was small! Patients with AMI had a median pain score of 8; patients without AMI had a median pain score of 7. What’s more, as a diagnostic test the pain score is pretty useless. The area under the ROC curve was 0.58, which is only just better than flipping a coin to decide.
You can see from the chart below (which is similar to a chart in the main paper) that patients with STEMI reported significantly more pain than patients with non-cardiac chest pain, but patients with NSTEMI, unstable angina, other cardiac diagnoses and non-cardiac diagnoses all reported similar pain severity.
[DDET Did it matter if the patient was old or young, male or female, or diabetic?]
No. It didn’t really matter. There was no difference in pain severity based on age or diabetes. Women did report slightly more severe pain than men – in fact, female gender was an independent predictor of higher pain score! (Ed – does that mean that the old myth about men being wimps is untrue?!) However, here’s some extra data not published in the paper – #FOAMed – just for you! Before us guys get our hopes up that we’ve at least got some evidence for our macho status, it’s worth pointing out that – even though women reported more severe pain – the guys tended to get more morphine. Hmmm… What started out as a simple research question may have opened a can of worms about possible gender inequality! Worth exploring some more in future work, perhaps…
In fact, the predictors of receiving morphine on multivariate analysis were the severity of pain reported and the clinician’s estimate of the probability of ACS. Presumably, doctors are more likely to consider that men have ACS. Statistically, that’s true. But does that mean that we under-recognise ACS in women? There’s now some fairly strong evidence that this might be true.
Lastly, it’s also worth mentioning that we took a look at whether troponin could be used as a sort of ‘pain biomarker’ for patients with AMI. Troponin levels correlate with infarct size. So did the 12h troponin level correlate with pain score? Perhaps more myocardial injury causes greater pain.
In fact, we found absolutely no truth in that suggestion. There was no correlation between pain score and peak troponin level. The r score was, in fact, -.0.001 – you can’t really get a lot closer to zero.
[DDET So what’s the bottom line for our practice?]
The key take home message from this paper is that, if your patient with unexplained chest pain reports that it’s only very mild (or “not even a pain”), don’t immediately discount it based on the severity. It could still be AMI. Just like cardiac risk factors, pain score really can’t help to rule out AMI in the Emergency Department. If the patient’s symptoms are otherwise compatible with ACS and you haven’t found an alternative cause, use a proper, evidence-based rule out strategy.
All the best,
Huge thanks to Beth Haves, who was an author on this paper and a huge help with our study. Beth presented some of the initial analyses from this paper at the College of Emergency Medicine Annual Scientific Conference in 2012.

When flat or fixed fees started to be bantered about in the last few years, partners in several of my firms said: “Won’t work for litigation, since it is too unpredictable.” Well, welcome to the new world.
A recent article by Catherine Ho that appeared on The Washington Post’s “Capital Business” raised the question about the death of the billable hour. She pointed out that five years ago only 28% of law firms “believed that non-hourly billing would be a permanent change in the legal industry.” That is according to the Altman Weil’s “2013 Law Firms in Transition” flash survey. In 2013, that percentage had grown to 80%. Amazing, even though there are those (yours truly being one of many) who believed that it was a definite trend just waiting to be fully realized.
What is the point? you may ask. The point is that offering fixed fees is smart marketing. Firms that do will have an advantage over law firms that don’t. Those that won’t offer fixed fees may just be sending a message to potential clients that includes: (1) we may not have enough experience in the practice area to predict how a case is likely to proceed, (2) don’t have a history of similar cases so we don’t know how much it will cost, and (3) are not willing to share in the risk.
So, law firms that are prepared to offer alternative fees, including fixed fees, have a jump on the competition IMHO. | <urn:uuid:b39bcda2-5c34-4ba0-ad2d-270541e3ac34> | CC-MAIN-2015-06 | http://www.legalmarketingblog.com/prospecting-for-clients/litigators-prepare-for-fixed-fees/ | 2015-01-30T21:33:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-06/segments/1422121569156.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20150124174609-00086-ip-10-180-212-252.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.966063 | 335 |

The relationship of environmental exploration (EE) and self-exploration (SE) with three dimensions of career decision-making difficulties was examined in a sample of Chinese college students (N = 911) using a structural equation modeling model comparison approach. Results indicated that neither self- nor environmental exploration predicted lack of readiness difficulties, but both were equally predictive of information-deficit problems. Finally, only SE was predictive of information inconsistency. The implications of this study are discussed and suggestions for future research are provided.

When purchasing a VUDU BMW remap from AET Motorsport, we will be able to run the vehicle up on our in-house dynapack to test the maximum output before and after we flash on the software. Our Dynapack couples directly to the wheel hubs and applies a precisely controlled hydraulic load. This method of direct coupling, plus its built-in strength, results in a huge number of benefits over a rolling road, including better accuracy, enhanced control and sensitivity and greater speed.
- Figures as on all ECU remaps will differ due to hardware that is already fitted to the BMW model, this means that some models will make more power than others due to additional support modifications already fitted to the vehicle.
- Each BMW remapping software has been specifically designed to run on 99 octane fuel. BMW models not running 99 octane fuel will not experience the huge gains you see listed.
Quote from AET Motorsport Sales Director, Nick Cook:
"It's extremely humbling to see the team rewarded with such fantastic software. I am truly excited to bring this latest software to the S55 M3/M4 market like we have previously with our Ford and VAG Tuning Packages. This is a major development for BMW owners looking for honest and reliable power increases in the UK."

WorldFish, African Union Inter-African Bureau for Animal Resources (AU-IBAR) and the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD) Planning and Coordinating Agency recently launched an innovative program that will improve the quality of life for small-scale fish traders in Africa, many of whom are women. The fish trade is crucial to ensuring food security in Africa, supporting livelihoods and promoting economic development.
Funded by the European Union (EU), the fish trade program will support Ministries of Fisheries and Aquaculture by strengthening policies, standards and regulatory frameworks for the promotion of intra-regional fish trade. The goal of the program is to strengthen the capacity of private sector associations, in particular women fish traders, and will enhance the competitiveness of small- and medium-scale enterprises.
In Africa, millions of people depend on fish as a vital source of nutrition. Fish and the fish product trade are increasingly important for Africa’s food security and economic development. Improving food and nutritional security by supporting intra-regional trade is the focus of this 4-year, EU-funded program. It will achieve this through enhancing the capacities of regional and pan-African organizations to support their member states to integrate intra-regional fish trade into their development and food security policy agendas.
"This project will facilitate regional integration through intra-regional trade in fish and fish products which underscores the vision for an integrated and prosperous Africa”, states Prof. Ahmed A. El-Sawalhy, Director of AU-IBAR.
The fish trade program focuses on four trade corridors, in Western, Southern, Eastern and Central Africa. The corridors run from Dakar to N’djamena (through Senegal, Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, Ghana, Nigeria and Chad; from Dar es Salaam to Durban (through Tanzania, Zambia, Malawi, Mozambique, Democratic Republic of Congo, Zimbabwe, Botswana and South Africa); from Mombasa to Goma (through Kenya, Uganda, Burundi, Rwanda and Democratic Republic of Congo); and from Libreville to N’djamena via Yaoundé (through Gabon, Cameroon and Chad). The corridors were selected because of their importance in fish and fish product trade flows.

HOUGHTON, Mich. — The No. 19 Wisconsin Badgers learned first hand what Denver and Colorado College already knew: Playing at the MacInnes Student Ice Arena is-unlike years past-no guaranteed win this season.
Michigan Tech killed off an early five-on-three power play before getting goals from a pair of unlikely sources to keep their hopes at hosting first round playoff action alive, prevailing 2-0 over yet another ranked opponent.
“Wisconsin’s a team that comes out hard and plays that way for 60 minutes,” said Huskies assistant coach Pat Mikesch. “The players knew that they had to come out hard and match the Badgers’ intensity.”
The Huskies (14-14-5 overall, 9-11-5 WCHA) managed to keep the puck away from sophomore goaltender Michael-Lee Teslak for nearly the first seven minutes of the game. The Badgers did get a good opportunity for a goal when assistant captain Jeff Likens snuck behind the Husky defense and get a couple of good chances, but Teslak came up big.
The Badgers (14-16-5l, 11-12-2) had a five-on-three for 1:02 midway through the period, but Tech’s sophomore defenseman Geoff Kinrade nearly single-handedly shut down the power play with a fantastic individual effort.
“We had worked on the break out on the power play,” said Badgers head coach Mike Eaves. “For some reason we got away from that tonight.”
On their third power play of the period, the Huskies struck gold as freshman forward Ryan Bunger netted his first power play tally of the season at the 16:26 mark.
Co-captain Mike Batovanja moved the puck out the point to freshman defenseman Eli Vlaisavljevich, who fired the puck just to the left of Badger goaltender Brian Elliot. Bunger was right there to redirect the shot past Elliot and into the back of the net.
“The penalty kill gave us the momentum,” said Bunger. “Eli took a great shot, and I was able to tip it in. I was supposed to give Eli a stick to shoot at, and that’s all I tried to do.”
The second period continued in much the same manner that the first period ended, with a lot of penalties going both ways. The teams combined for some eighteen minutes in penalties.
“Both teams play a very physical style of game,” said Mikesch. “It caused a lot of whistles and some penalties, but we felt it was still going to come down to who got the bounces.”
Junior forward Matthew Ford had a great opportunity from the slot to Teslak’s left, but Teslak came up big.
On the power play, junior winger Tyler Shelast nearly gave the Huskies a two-goal lead, but his tip off a shot from Kinrade was stopped by Elliot.
Late in the period, the Badgers nearly evened the game. Ford took a pass and ripped a wrist shot. Teslak stood his ground and came up with a huge glove save, keeping the Huskies in the lead.
“They just compete,” said Teslak. “With the goaltending they have, that’s what they have to do.”
Just over a minute into the third period, freshman center Aaron Bendickson found himself with the puck in front of Teslak, but he couldn’t find a chink in Teslak’s armor.
The Huskies opened a two-goal lead when Bunger nearly struck again. Assistant captain Tyler Skworchinski sprung Bunger from just over the Huskies’ blue line, and Bunger took the puck to the net hard, but was turned away by Elliot.
Sophomore forward Justin St. Louis finally gave the Huskies the insurance they’d need to finish off the Badgers when he picked up a rebound and backhanded it past Elliot 8:16 into the third.
Fellow classmate, defenseman John Schwarz, fed Malcolm Gwilliam, yet another sophomore, who unloaded a blistering slap shot that beat everybody but the crossbar cleanly. However, the puck rebounded clear out to St. Louis, who pounced on it for his second goal of the season.
“It was a big monkey off my back,” said St. Louis. “Malcolm’s shot took a big rebound out to me and luckily I was able to bury it.”
Senior center Jake Dowell was stopped on his attempt to cut the Huskies’ lead to one when snuck in close to Teslak, but again Teslak was equal to the task. Ford also had a golden opportunity, but was again rejected by the Huskies’ hot netminder.
With just under a minute to go, Eaves called a time out to rest his troops and get Elliot out of the net. The Huskies responded to the challenge of the extra attacker by keeping the puck to the boards, and away from Teslak.
Teslak finished the game with 31 stops for his eighth win and third shutout of the season. The shutout puts him into a tie for second in school history for shutouts in a season. It was the first by a Huskies team against the Badgers since November 16, 2001, and first at home since November 12, 1993.
“This is the first shutout that I can actually enjoy,” said Teslak. “We couldn’t let ourselves to get down against Wisconsin because they are so good defensively.”
Elliot stopped 22 Huskies shots in the loss.
The Huskies finished the game one-for-eight on the man advantage while holding the Badgers to zero-for-six.
The Huskies improved their home record in 2007 to 5-0-2. On the season, the Huskies are 9-4-3 at home on the season with one regular season match to go.
With the win, the Huskies move to within a point of the Badgers for sixth in the WCHA. The teams will square off again tomorrow night in the rematch. | <urn:uuid:355fe4ce-9f62-41b4-943c-46af90339b46> | CC-MAIN-2014-23 | http://www.uscho.com/recaps/2007/02/23/huskies-skate-to-2-0-victory-over-badgers/ | 2014-07-29T12:59:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-23/segments/1406510267330.29/warc/CC-MAIN-20140728011747-00496-ip-10-146-231-18.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.969861 | 1,336 |

Vox's First Law: Any sufficiently advanced intelligence is indistinguishable from insanity. Or, in this case, autism:
This is an object lesson in what we discussed at the May Brainstorm. Never, ever, blindly trust the so-called experts. Respect, but verify.State therapy specialists claimed Jacob Barnett would never tie his shoes, read or function normally in society. But the boy’s mother realized when Jacob was not in therapy, he was doing “spectacular things” completely on his own.She decided to trust her instinct and disregard the advice of the professionals. Instead of following a standardized special needs educational protocol, she surrounded Jacob with all the things that inspired passion for him – and was astonished at the transformation that took place.
Following a diagnosis of autism at age two, Jacob was subjected to a cookie cutter special education system that focused on correcting what he couldn’t do compared to normal children. For years, teachers attempted to convince Kristine Barnett that her son would only be able to learn the most basic of life skills....
By the time Jacob reached the age of 11, he entered college and is currently studying condensed matter physics at Indiana University-Purdue University in Indianapolis. According to an email Professor Scott Tremaine wrote to Jacob’s family:Jacob also has an IQ of 170 — higher than that of Einstein.“The theory that he’s working on involves several of the toughest problems in astrophysics and theoretical physics … Anyone who solves these will be in line for a Nobel Prize.” | <urn:uuid:6c913307-e2fd-4cc5-a639-4cc1d91d85ba> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://voxday.blogspot.com/2015/05/voxs-first-law-at-work.html | 2016-10-25T19:05:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988720356.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183840-00319-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.97212 | 314 |

Curvy Girl Fashion - Forever 21 Lipstick Dress
I know its not Friday yet but the dress I wore today deserves a mid week blog post! I actually purchased a white summer dress with lipsticks on it back in January from Forever 21+ but haven't worn it because its still kinda cold where I live. When I saw a black one on the website I had to get it too because well...I needed two lipstick dresses, right? This one is more for spring with 3/4 length sleeves, v neck (with built in slip for extra chest coverage) with a wrap dress style. Its made of 94% polyester and 6% spandex so its really comfortable, flattering, and work appropriate! My only complaint is the slip is made of polyester also so I find the dress slides around a little bit as I move throughout the day. Now don't worry...I think wearing this to a makeup gig would be really silly so I don't plan to make this dress my makeup artist uniform haha. But I think its great every day dress for someone who adores lipstick and cosmetics in general :) Today I wore the dress with red flats from Payless and some nude stockings.
My other lipstick dress will be blogged about as soon as it gets warm enough to wear it so keep an eye out :). If you would like to buy this dress, its still on the website here!

If There’s One Thing He Hates, It’s a Secret…
Coming home after a rough deployment, Captain Dwayne Robertson wants some stability in his life, and finds it in the friendship he’s forged with Veronica Gibson while he was away. But her past is a well-guarded mystery, and Dwayne doesn’t know if he can deal with a woman who has something to hide…
And She’s Filled with Them…
Veronica Gibson doesn’t want anyone to know about her bizarre upbringing. She’s finally escaped her missionary parents and would be enjoying her independence if she didn’t feel so insecure about fitting in. She can easily envision a glorious future with Dwayne—but can she build a new life on a web of lies?
What a wonderful piece of writing, i do love a good military book.
Dwayne is such a gentleman with his sexy accent,huge muscled frame, hes sex on a stick.
He is a Marine returning state side after a 7 month tour, and finds himself struggling with life back home. with the nightmares and flashbacks Dwayne is in a hard place.
Some how through all that there is one person, a woman so quiet, shy, naive and sweet that soothes him she is his balm, she calms him and shows no pity.
Veronica is trying to find herself, to overcome years of awkwardness around other people. Dwayne is big and intimidating but he draws Veronica to him.
The relationship that forms for Veronica and Dwayne is really heartwarming, how they connect is lovely.
Dwayne and Veronica’s friend play a great part throughout the book they all have a great depth of character and interact well with each other.
Although this is the first book that i have read in the Semper Fidalis series there are three books before this one. Not that this is a problem as i feel this book can be read as a stand alone book, you dont feel like your missing anything. I will be looking out for the other book in this series now so i can get more of a marine fix.
A great enjoyable read, heartwarming with a fantastic story line i loved it. | <urn:uuid:96458e3b-4fe8-4d5f-9048-6e52786d94d7> | CC-MAIN-2017-30 | http://niccisbookblog.com/2013/07/26/officer-and-a-secret-semper-fidalis-series-jeanette-murray/ | 2017-07-24T08:43:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-30/segments/1500549424770.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20170724082331-20170724102331-00507.warc.gz | en | 0.968696 | 462 |
The Washington Post has turned to an unlikely commentator for the Trump administration’s prospective peace plan: an unrepentant Palestinian terrorist nicknamed Abu Jihad. Seriously.
The newspaper’s Jan. 23, 2020 dispatch noted that U.S. President Trump “invited Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his challenger in upcoming elections, Benny Gantz, to Washington” for “a discussion of Trump’s long-awaited Middle East peace plan.” That plan, the Post reports, was finished in 2019, but “kept under wraps amid political turmoil in Israel.” No details were released by the time the newspaper filed the story.
Understandably, the Post sought comments about the plan from Palestinian officials, including Mahmoud al-Aloul, who asserted, “For sure, it’s going to be a complete rejection of the plan.” Less understandably, the newspaper failed to inform readers about Aloul’s background and history.
Mahmoud Aloul, they told readers, is “vice chairman of the ruling Fatah party and a possible successor” to the current Palestinian Authority president, Mahmoud Abbas. But Aloul is also a Palestinian terrorist whose nom de guerre is Abu Jihad.
Aloul was born in 1950 in Nablus. According to a March 2017 profile by Grant Rumley, an analyst of Palestinian politics, Aloul joined the Fatah movement shortly after the 1967 Six-Day War. In 1983, he helped kidnap several Israeli soldiers and worked directly for Khalil al-Wazir, an arch terrorist who was nicknamed Abu Jihad and who murdered 125 people. The Israelis killed Wazir in 1988, and Aloul inherited the nickname.
As Rumley noted in The American Interest, “When the Palestinians signed the Oslo Accords, many PLO officials returned from exile to the West Bank and Gaza. However, Israel refused to allow Aloul to return for a year due to his past militant activity.” Shortly after his return Aloul became governor of Nablus, a town that has long produced some of the more extremist elements in Palestinian politics as the academic Yehoshua Porath documented in his book The Emergence of the Palestinian-Arab National Movement.
In 2006, Aloul became Labor Minister for the Palestinian Legislative Council. Three years later, he was appointed to Fatah’s powerful Central Committee. In 2017, Mahmoud Abbas appointed him to be his deputy—an appointment that Fatah’s official Facebook page hailed, favorably comparing Aloul to his mentor, Wazir. As Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) highlighted, the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, one of the Palestinian terrorist groups most responsible for the Second Intifada (2000-05) in which more than 1,000 Israelis were murdered, celebrated Aloul’s rise as demonstrating a “commitment to [the] path of terrorist martyrs.”
Aloul’s ascension should have been newsworthy; Abbas is an unpopular octogenarian who is currently a decade-and-a-half into a single elected four-year term. Yet nearly every major U.S. news outlet, including The Washington Post, failed to cover it as the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting and Analysis (CAMERA) noted at the time.
As recently as May 12, 2019 Aloul expressed “condolences” to the mother of a Palestinian terrorist who was currently serving 11 sentences, according to Fatah’s official Facebook page. The previous month, he defended the P.A.’s policy of paying salaries to terrorists—or “heroes and fighters” as he referred to them—and called U.S. demands to end that policy “blackmail.” Indeed, as PMW has documented, Aloul’s official Facebook page frequently praises Palestinian terrorists.
On Oct. 24, 2017, The Washington Free Beacon reported that it had obtained secret audiotapes from March of that year in which Aloul admitted, “We have relations with” the BDS movement. Aloul added: “Our people work there, and we have delegates there. We cooperate with BDS on all levels, and not only with the BDS, but every group whose aim is to boycott Israel, we are with. Every group working to lay siege on Israel and isolate it from the world, we are with it.”
The P.A.’s support for BDS violates the terms and spirit of the Oslo Accords that created it and that remain the basis for its international support. However, Aloul’s admission was ignored by the Post, which has claimed that BDS is a “grassroots” movement that merely “opposes the Israeli government’s occupation of Palestinian territories and treatment of Palestinians.”
It’s curious that the Post would turn to a person who supports terrorism and groups “working to lay siege on Israel” for his “thoughts” on a peace plan. What are the chances for peace when one of the “peace partners” is Abu Jihad?
The newspaper’s coverage of the proposal itself was deeply flawed. The Post published an editorial, no fewer than three columns and two news reports on the plan—not a single one of which noted that Palestinian leaders have rejected numerous offers for statehood. As CAMERA has frequently highlighted, most recently in The Daily Caller, the PA rejected U.S. and Israeli offers for peace and statehood in 2000 at Camp David, 2001 at Taba and 2008 after the Annapolis Conference. More recently, the PA refused U.S. proposals to restart negotiations in 2014 and 2016.
The Post, however, omitted all of this pertinent history. Instead, their editorial faulted the Trump administration and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, claiming, “Mideast peace was an already distant prospect, but these cynical and self-seeking leaders have made it more so.”
Perhaps most absurdly, The Post even faulted the proposal for “making a long list of conditions” in order for Palestinians to have “independence,” like “establishing Western-style institutions, disarming the Hamas movement and recognizing Israel as a Jewish state.” The nerve!
The paper seems incapable of endowing Palestinian leadership with any measure of responsibility and independent agency. This is the same leadership that, as recently as last few week, called to murder Jews at a Holocaust commemoration ceremony, as CAMERA documented (“The Palestinian Authority’s Word and the Media’s Silence,” Times of Israel, Jan. 21, 2020).
Nor was The Post alone in its faulty coverage. Both The Baltimore Sun (“Trump Rolls Out Mideast Peace Plan,” Jan. 29) and USA Today (“Critics Say Trump’s New Peace Plan Futile,” Jan. 29), among others, filed dispatches on the proposal which failed to mention the long history of Palestinian rejectionism.
The obvious is being left unsaid: What are the chances for peace when one of the “peace partners” is Abu Jihad?

DVLA closures plan puts 1,200 jobs at risk
- 13 December 2011
- From the section UK
The government is proposing the closure of all 39 Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) regional offices, putting more than 1,200 jobs at risk.
The closures, due by the end of 2013, could save about £28m a year, it says.
Roads Minister Mike Penning said the plans to move more services online and centralise the DVLA in Swansea would "make dealing with the DVLA easier".
The Public and Commercial Services Union (PCS) said the plans "make no economic sense".
The DVLA employs 6,116 staff - 1,213 of whom are potentially affected by the proposed office closures. Consultation with staff began on Tuesday. Unions are also to be consulted.
The proposals affect all 39 regional offices, described by Mr Penning as "expensive".
They are Beverley in East Yorkshire, Birmingham, Bournemouth, Brighton, Bristol, Carlisle, Chelmsford in Essex, Chester, Exeter, Ipswich, Leeds, Lincoln, Borehamwood in Hertfordshire, Sidcup in south east London, and Wimbledon in south west London.
Maidstone in Kent, Manchester, Newcastle Upon Tyne, Northampton, Norwich, Nottingham, Oxford, Peterborough, Portsmouth, Preston, Sheffield, Shrewsbury, Stockton-on-Tees, Theale in Berkshire, Truro, Worcester, Bangor in Gwynedd, Cardiff, Swansea, Aberdeen, Dundee, Glasgow, Edinburgh, and Inverness will also be affected.
The regional offices carry out administrative functions such as arranging trade plates for garages, vehicle inspections and personalised registration mark transfers.
Ten of the 39 offices affected by the announcement are also home to regional enforcement centres.
'Choice and flexibility'
Mr Penning said: "Centralising the DVLA's services is the first crucial step towards making more of its transactions available online, allowing people to deal with the DVLA at their chosen time and place.
"This will mean quicker turnarounds and meet our customers' growing needs."
He said the centralising of services will provide "much more choice and flexibility around how and when motorists deal with the DVLA," including electronically and in partnership with others.
DVLA chief executive Simon Tse said the proposals were a response to the fact that "times change and customers' needs change".
"It's essential that we move with the times and make the best use of our services and experience to make sure we give the motor industry and the general public a service that is fit for the 21st Century."
As part of the proposed changes, a wider range of services will be introduced in Northern Ireland. Motorists there do not currently have access to all vehicle services available elsewhere, such as being able to tax a vehicle online.
Last November, PCS claimed that it had learned of a plan to close 39 DVLA offices from a leaked government document - but the DVLA said no decision had been made at the time.
The PCS said the plans would be "fiercely" resisted, with industrial action very likely.
PCS general secretary Mark Serwotka said: "With unemployment and inflation remaining high, these cuts to local communities are outrageous and unnecessary, and will further weaken economies crying out for investment.
"DVLA senior managers have previously denied this is what they were planning, so to announce it just two weeks before Christmas is insulting and devastating for staff." | <urn:uuid:f9ac40bb-135d-4728-8897-e9a50bb0b9bb> | CC-MAIN-2016-07 | http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-16158015 | 2016-02-09T00:12:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-07/segments/1454701154682.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20160205193914-00281-ip-10-236-182-209.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.95015 | 735 |

“As endless as the ocean, as timeless as the tides…”
Ever been inspired to get married in the exotic coastline of a place like Bali? This photoshoot provides the visual manifestation and Tessa Kit Photography brings everything to life!
In the rugged rocky background, on a beach that has been sculpted by the ocean waves, Wonderland Bali Events set up a boho bridal atmosphere like no other!
The bride resembles a castaway muse on a desert island fantasy. She is standing barefoot in her Ophelia Crop Top gown, with her feet in the sand and scattered red petals around her! Her handmade dress forms a dreamcatcher embroidery in crochet that captivates the eye -as well as bohemian dreams!
A tribal theme unfolds around her… a minimalistic tent on a Persian red carpet, details of nautical rope and mixed shades of gold and black against the sea background.
Under the bright sunshine, the bold blooms in red stand out as the bride radiates in her pure white wedding dress!
The magic is once again in the details… In the picture frame half buried in the sand, the artistic touches of the candles and the black lanterns resting on the golden sand.
Inspired to get married already? You can make your positive remark in the comments section!

Dear Extraordinary Banker®,
The long hot summer is coming to an end. I hope you got your toes in the sand and took an opportunity to invest time with your family and get some R & R.
As we start to look ahead, you’ve probably got your sights set on your strategic plan for 2017.
I have the advantage of reviewing hundreds of bank strategic plans over the last 26 years, and, like the old Clint Eastwood movie, I’ve seen the good, the bad and the UGLY. In this issue, we’ve culled through all of the best practices we’ve discovered…the essential pieces that we know exist and are vital to the strategic plans of the top community banks.
And honestly, the pieces that make a plan great aren’t the ones you might think of…and they’re probably not the ones you heard from your facilitator at last year’s retreat.
They are the key missing link between ink on paper, shoved in a binder, and a plan that guides action and accountability.
Throughout this issue, we will show you those key pieces. Take note. Apply what is here in your planning for 2017. Share this issue with your executive team and your board. (If you’d like complimentary copies for your board members, please call us at (952) 820-0360).
A plan that drives ever-increasing profitability by systematically acquiring your next best customers, creates clear quarterly, monthly, and weekly actions for everyone in the bank that lead directly to that goal, and includes built-in accountability for results should not be the rare exception that it is in banking…it should be the norm.
Which plan will you build for 2017?

Project and Construction Management
Over the past few decades, construction management has developed into a specific and necessary role within the construction industry as projects have increased in size and complexity and the need to deliver them in a timely, efficient manner has become critical. The BSc in Project and Construction Management is an interdisciplinary degree programme, providing students with an extensive training in both construction management and project management, essential managerial aspects to carrying out large, complex projects in industry. This degree programme prepares graduates for taking on technical, management, academic and research/development level positions in the construction industry, as well as across a range of other industries such as in the bio-pharmaceutical, technology and science industries.
Despite the downturn in the economy, construction remains hugely important as an industry and there is an ever-present need for skilled and resourceful project managers, nationally and internationally, as companies seek to carry out projects as efficiently and effectively as possible. The construction industry has seen many rapid changes in recent years, with the advent of new technologies and the extensive use of computer-based techniques. Added to this are developments in new materials with enhanced performance and new construction techniques. There is also the interdisciplinary challenge, with a blurring of boundaries taking place between traditional roles, both in construction and other areas requiring highly developed managerial skills in the overseeing of complex projects.
Becoming a project and construction manager will mean you will be trained in the fundamentals of civil engineering, construction, and business and economics. You will learn about managerial and accounting principles, get an introduction to human resources management and progress to getting an insight into the concepts of financial management. Other focuses over the four-year programme are health and safety law, quality management and planning, which is evolving to take account of changing environmental concerns, and sustainability issues. The course will provide you with the capacity to critically analyse and apply problem solving skills across a growing and diverse number of construction specialisms.

The BSc in Project and Construction is such an interdisciplinary programme that I was at a distinct advantage in gaining employment, having a firm understanding of a broad range of topics. The course also taught me to be adaptable; with each day being so different and with new issues arising all the time, it is important to develop this skill. | <urn:uuid:f5b197bf-09c8-4614-9334-b5b9a4e96a0b> | CC-MAIN-2020-16 | https://www.nuigalway.ie/courses/undergraduate-courses/project-and-construction-management.html | 2020-04-06T11:56:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-16/segments/1585371624083.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20200406102322-20200406132822-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.888305 | 2,138 |
As Valentine’s Day is on the edge, couples all over the world are eager to celebrate the occasion. Young couples celebrate the occasion by spending time with each other and gifting each other. But there is a huge misconception among some people all over the world. They think that Valentine’s Day is only for couples and not married individuals. Well, this is absolutely crap. Married people are a couple too. Hence, they have the right to celebrate this day to their heart’s content. Here are some options that you can consider as Valentine’s Day gift for husband as well as Valentine’s Day gift for wife.
Valentine’s Day Gift For Husband
To begin with men, here are list of options that you can consider for Valentine’s Day gift for him.
Since most of the husbands all over the world are well settled, gifting your man a formal shirt or a trouser can be the best Valentine’s Day gift for him. A nice and descent formal shirt paired with a formal trouser will do the job. This will helpful for both of you. You will get the satisfaction of gifting your husband on Valentine’s Day. On the other hand, your husband will be pleased to receive something useful for his job. In addition to this, a pair to handkerchief and formal shoes will add cherry to the cake. This will make the moment memorable for your husband.
If your husband is fond of alcohol, then surely wine is the best option to consider as Valentine’s Day gift for him. The reason you should gift wine is because it symbolizes romance and love. Even though your husband loves a different kind of alcohol, remember that you are gifting him on the occasion of Valentine’s and not his birthday. Hence, whatever may be his favorite brand, you need to select the wine. In fact, one the best wine that is suitable for you as well as for the occasion.
Making your husband’s favorite food will make him go crazy for you. It is said that the way to get to your husband’s heart passes via stomach. Hence, if his stomach is filled, he will be happy no matter you gift him something special or not. Remember that your husband loves you and not the gifts that you give him. Hence, a small gesture of love (such as making dinner) is more than enough and may suffice as best Valentine’s Day gift for husband.
Valentine’s Day Gift For Wife
Now that you have had a look at the gifts that you can give him, it’s time for some Valentine’s Day gift for her.
Getting away for a 2-day trip, only the two of you, will make her love you more than before. And if you are a couple that is “just married,” this will be a great start of your journey together. Plan a trip, which must be two or more-day long. And since it is Valentine’s Day, make it a romantic one. Don’t be a freak and plan a trip to amusement park. Make it romantic by planning it on one of the places meant for couples or those places that symbolizes love, such as beach or, perhaps the best, Paris.
Being proposed again after years of marriage is one of the loveliest gifts that a wife can get from her husband. And if you are planning to propose her again, make sure that you make it the most romantic and as perfect possible. Try to cover all those things that went south during your wedding or were not possible during that time. If she has mentioned some fantasies about getting married again, try to make it come true. This might be one of the best options to consider for Valentine’s Day gift for her.
Nothing matches the smile that comes on face after seeing the flowers. If you are a true and adorable husband, you might be well aware of the flowers that your wife likes. And the best thing to gift her can be none other than this. You can gift her flower-by-flower by placing it on different locations, which are noticeable to her. All you can gift her whole load of flowers by decorating the entire house. If not possible, just give her a single piece and she will be happy. After all, it is the flower that matters and not the quantity.
Now that you have had a look on the best options for Valentine’s Day gift for husband as well as Valentine’s Day gift for wife, make sure to make this day memorable and celebrate your married life to the fullest of your heart. Because, this is a day that comes only once a year! So do not miss the chance. | <urn:uuid:98985b18-4574-4fc3-a540-174380f7d96f> | CC-MAIN-2019-18 | https://www.happywalagift.com/valentines-day-gift-for-husband-and-wife/ | 2019-04-24T07:50:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-18/segments/1555578636101.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20190424074540-20190424100540-00370.warc.gz | en | 0.966627 | 981 |
Here are some common questions that people ask about our meditation classes. If you have any other questions please call or email us and we will be happy to help you in any way.
Q: Do I need to be Buddhist to attend a weekly class?
A: No. We try to present Buddha’s teachings in a way that is accessible to everyone. Buddhist meditation is very practical and relevant to modern daily life and enables us to develop peace of mind, reduce stress and anxiety and improve our concentration, relationships with others and general sense of personal well being.
Q: Do I need to have experience of meditation or Buddhism to attend a weekly class?
A: No. Everyone is welcome, including beginners.
Q: If I’m a complete beginner, should I attend a weekly class or a weekend event?
A: Either is fine; it really depends on your own circumstances and preference. Weekly classes are shorter, whereas weekend events take place over a half a day or more.
Q: What should I expect at a weekly class?
A: The classes begin with simple prayers, followed by a relaxation meditation. Then there will be a talk covering the basics of meditation and Buddhism, emphasizing how these can be applied to daily life. Finally, there is a second meditation, discussion and questions-and-answers. Buddhist books will be on sale for further reading. The classes conclude with light refreshments and an opportunity to get to know people informally.
Q: How do we sit to meditate?
A: Generally, we sit on chairs so that everyone is comfortable. However, there are cushions for you to sit on the floor if you prefer.
Q: Will I be asked to say anything, or speak in front of a group of people?
A: No. But you can ask questions if you want to.
Q: Is there any physical exercise involved, such as yoga?
A: No. The courses focus on meditation alone.
Q: What do I need to bring?
A: Nothing in particular. However, some people find it useful to bring a notepad and pen.
Q: How should I dress?
A: There are no special requirements, but comfortable clothing is generally best. We ask people to leave their shoes outside the room, so in winter you may find it helpful to bring along some warm socks to wear.
Q: If I want to attend a weekly class, do I need to wait for the next course of classes to begin?

Project Eternity - Update #31, Story Update
Josh Sawyer brings us the next update for Project Eternity, which provides some more information about the process of the plot development.
Today's update isn't about lore as much as it is about the focus and process of developing our central plot. I'm not going to spoil any details of the story, but I do want to share what we're working on.
When we develop stories at Obsidian, we often ask ourselves (and each other), "What's the conflict and why do I care about it?" and, "What is my range of roles in resolving the conflict?" "RPG" means a lot of different things to different people. For us, it's important to let the player decide who he or she is in the story. That means when you set aside class, race, magic missiles, and all of the other goodies, the player needs to be able to define his or her own motivations, attitudes toward others, and ways of resolving problems in the story.
Finding the right level of player freedom and clarity of purpose can be difficult. It's tricky to develop scenarios that can convincingly motivate characters of many races and classes, many backgrounds, and many moral and ethical stances. A conflict that is too "hands-off" or impersonal (e.g. a political conflict that doesn't directly involve the player) can make it difficult for players to connect to it. A conflict that is extremely personal may rub players the wrong way if it assumes too much about their character or if it feels like their choices don't have a large enough impact on the world around them.
Because this is the first story your characters will shape in this world, we want to start with something small that grows into something larger. As we have hinted before, the story opens with the player's character witnessing a supernatural event that puts him or her in a difficult situation. The full ramifications of what you become a part of are not immediately apparent, but you quickly become aware that you have... new problems. Dealing with these problems makes you realize that resolving your situation is inexorably linked to the fates of many others. In some cases, these "others" are individuals. In others, they are much larger groups of people. You will get to interact with them all in various ways over the course of the story. If we do a good job in developing these groups and characters, the decisions you make in the course of resolving your problems will be interesting and difficult to make.
That's what we're aiming for, but that doesn't necessarily tell you what we've been doing. On this project, the process started with a rough idea for a story and a theme that went along with it. The story itself wasn't that important; it was just an idea to get us moving. What followed were critiques of the story's premise, the unfolding of the plot, the player's motivation and involvement, and the scope of the conflicts the player faces from the beginning through the end. For the past few weeks, we've been exchanging various small ideas, big ideas, minor tweaks, radical overhauls, and brand new storylines. Through it all, we regularly return to the questions I posed up above: "What's the conflict and why do I care about it?" and, "What is my range of roles in resolving the conflict?" We can (and do) write about all sorts of character and location ideas, subplots and interesting takes on themes, but until we answer those questions in a way we believe will be compelling to your characters and all that they may be, we still have work to do.
We like to develop fun ideas we come up with and every once in a while we delight at some clever character or situation we think of, but for us, it's more important for you to feel clever, for you to feel like you can take control of a situation -- by whatever means you see fit. Until we believe we have a few gems on our hands, we'll keep the Story Gnomes digging in the mines on your behalf.

Protecting sensitive information can feel like running on a treadmill: No matter how hard higher education IT professionals work to get ahead, hackers seem to keep gaining ground.
Despite ongoing investments in cybersecurity, attackers continue to set new records. Symantec reported in its “2016 Internet Security Threat Report” that the previous year saw a 55 percent uptick in spear phishing campaigns, a 35 percent increase in malware and a total of more than half a billion lost or stolen records. Education was one of the most frequently attacked sectors.
“The work of information security in higher education, as in most industries, is never done, because the landscape and threats are always evolving and becoming more sophisticated,” says Susan Malisch, CIO at Loyola University Chicago. “The added challenge in higher education is to keep the environment open for academic and research activities, stay sufficiently protected and remain compliant with regulations.”
These three cybersecurity tools provides a window into solutions that are helping colleges and universities keep their networks and data safe.
Firewalls, which prevent unauthorized traffic from entering secured networks, are a mainstay of information security on most higher education campuses. Increasingly, institutions are turning to next-generation firewalls (NGFW) that combine standard firewall features — such as packet filtering, network address translation, stateful protocol inspection and virtual private networking — with advanced features such as application awareness and control, identity awareness and integration with intrusion prevention systems. On many campuses, risks stemming from the increase in advanced attacks and zero-day security threats are driving the adoption of NGFWs.
“As attacks have become more sophisticated, so has the need for firewalls to enforce broader security policies at the network and application levels,” says Malisch. “It can be very helpful to have an integrated set of advanced protection strategies and monitoring occurring within a NGFW rather than having to install, manage and monitor multiple products to serve all these functions.”
Jill Albin-Hill, vice president for information technology and CIO at Dominican University, says one of the chief benefits of NGFWs is the increased visibility they provide into network traffic.
“I think it helped us understand our traffic a bit more,” Albin-Hill says. That visibility, she adds, helps the university identify risky traffic (for example, in an activity such as illegal file sharing), identify misconfigured devices and monitor resource utilization.
Unified Threat Management (UTM) tools provide several security technologies within a single appliance. Although product capabilities vary from vendor to vendor, many UTM solutions include firewall capabilities, content filtering proxies and other security technologies. Intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDS/IPS), meanwhile, monitor networks and hosts for signs of malicious activity. An IDS tool will provide early-warning systems that alert network administrators to suspected intrusions, whereas an IPS solution will automatically block suspicious traffic before it can spread throughout the campus network.
Not all institutions have stand-alone UTM and IDS/IPS tools. UTM solutions and NGFWs often include threat detection and prevention capabilities, and UTM solutions aren’t always a great fit for larger institutions with sprawling infrastructures.
“It really depends on how centralized an IT organization is,” says James Wiley, a principal analyst focusing in cybersecurity at the research firm Eduventures. “If they have full visibility of all of their applications and the data, then they can deploy [UTM tools]. But at a decentralized institution, it’s very hard, because IT is just controlling a subset.”
Every day, the thousands of individual devices that are connected to a college or university network generate vast amounts of information that can help IT administrators better understand their cybersecurity posture. However, this information doesn’t do an institution any good unless it’s being examined, and the sheer amount of data being collected makes it impossible to process manually. Security information and event management (SIEM) systems bring together logging information from a variety of devices and security products and search for patterns that might indicate suspicious activity.
“SIEM technologies remove the difficulty and burden of the information security team to wade through files individually,” says Malisch. “When deployed optimally, SIEM tools can save an information security department a lot of time through the aggregation of multiple logs and data sources into a concise list. Via a SIEM, it is much easier to identify anomalies and trends that could indicate information security threats and prevent incidents and information loss.”
Karen Scarfone, principal consultant at Scarfone Cybersecurity, notes that these solutions also help to streamline regulatory compliance and auditing. “A SIEM is a great way to pull all of that information into one place, to make an auditor’s job so much easier,” she says. | <urn:uuid:e169dd75-68b9-4411-a744-c1ab442e5d3e> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | https://edtechmagazine.com/higher/article/2016/12/3-cybersecurity-tools-protect-colleges-against-sophisticated-cyber-threats | 2017-06-22T18:34:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128319688.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20170622181155-20170622201155-00339.warc.gz | en | 0.937661 | 1,002 |
If Savi were to make a list of things that were the absolute worst, moving to Shajarpur would be right on top. Well, right after the point about missing her father. And death. And her new school, with the most stuck-up of classmates.
Worse, she is now part of an eco club in which they make fun of her for not having enough green gyaan. And those stuck-up classmates seem to be her new friends.
Wait, what? How did that happen?
But Savi is too busy figuring out why in the world she, a certified brown thumb, is suddenly able to talk to us (her plants) and to the ginormous ficus tree, whose heartwood seems full of secrets.
Funny, thoughtful and deeply moving, this is a story of loss, climate change and the magical power of…
Ahem. Actually, why don’t we just let Savi tell it now?

The Tomlinson family is chock full of talent—no one can deny that. Louis and his seven siblings have proven that, although they're still very young, they’re the ones to watch. We’re already major fans of Lottie, the 18-year-old budding beauty icon who has casually done Selena Gomez’s makeup, signed on as an ambassador with Nails Inc. and acted as an apprentice to 1D groomer, Lou Teasdale. But another Tomlinson has just entered the makeup world in the best way. Daisy, who is only 12, has announced a collab with Hong Kong indie makeup brand Molly Cosmetics (you know, the ones who recently introduced the clear raindrop cake-like sponge that went viral in seconds).

Testing of the First Malaria Vaccine Begins in Malawi
Malaria is a parasitic virus transmitted through mosquito bites, and those infected with the disease often experience grave fevers, chills and flu-like symptoms. Although malaria can potentially end in death, physical precautions such as safety nets in malaria-dense environments and prompt treatment can usually prevent it. Unfortunately, because malaria largely affects poorer nations, it can be a great strain on national economies and impoverished populations. The World Health Organization is enlisting pilot testing for the first malaria vaccine.
Malaria reportedly infects tens of millions, killing over 400,000 people worldwide every year and mostly children; Sub-Saharan African countries are the primary nations in which malaria thrives—the World Health Organization estimates that over 250,000 African children die every year from the virus.
The malaria-carrying parasite is able to evade victims’ immune systems by constantly changing its surface, which is why developing a vaccine against the virus has been so difficult. With today’s modern technology and scientific insight, that is beginning to change.
Testing the First Malaria Vaccine
In April of 2019, a large-scale pilot test of what many are dubbing the world’s first malaria vaccine to give partial protection to children began in Malawi. Scientists from the drug company GSK first created the RTS,S vaccine in 1987 and has been refining it ever since. Organizations like Path Malaria Vaccine Initiative have been instrumental in supporting this initiative.
The new RTS,S vaccine is attempting to teach the immune system how to attack the malaria parasite. A patient needs to receive the vaccine four times—once a month for three months, followed by a fourth and final dose 18 months later. In 2009, Kenya held smaller trials of the vaccine and concluded with a 40 percent protection rate of the five to-17 month-olds who received the vaccination. Since then, malaria rates have plateaued rather than decreased, which is another reason the new pilot test is so vital in the modern-day.
Now testing is taking place in Malawi, Kenya and Ghana with aims to immunize 120,000 children aged two-years-old and younger. These three countries are ideal for two reasons: one, these nations already have large anti-malaria programs in place; and two, in spite of this, they still have high numbers of malaria cases. As Dr. Matshidiso Moeti (World Health Organization Regional Director for Africa) stated, “Malaria is a constant threat to the African communities where this vaccine will be given” and explains that the vaccine is needed because “we know the power of vaccines to prevent killer diseases and [hope to] reach children, including those who may not have immediate access to the doctors, nurses and health facilities they need to save them when severe illness comes.”
Looking Towards the Future
The purpose of the pilot tests is to build up evidence that can be reliably considered while WHO policy is debating its recommendations on the broader use of the RTS,S vaccine. The experiment will examine the reductions (if any) in child deaths, vaccine uptake rates (including how many children receive all four vaccinations) and the overall safety of the vaccine in routine use.
If the testing goes well, not only will the World Health Organization aid the vaccine to its core package of recommended measures for malaria prevention and treatment, but hopefully, it will begin a chain reaction that again sparks a decrease in malaria cases around the world.

Antico Martini is one of Venice’s historic restaurants, founded in 1720 and still going strong.
Right by the site of La Fenice (follow the signs to ‘Teatro la Fenice’ to find it), Antico Martini is centrally placed for guests in some of the more illustrious hotels to enjoy fine dining with impeccable service.
The guest book reveals that in the past this included Stravinsky, Charlie Chaplin and Marcello Mastroianni. For those less well-heeled, be warned that the prices are steep (but check out their website for special offers).
The ambience is pleasant and refined, with immaculate pink table linen and an abundance of discreet waiters. The cuisine, as one would expect, is elegant, and harks back to an earlier era when dishes were frequently prepared at the table – such as my delicious Sant’Erasmo asparagus with parmesan, for which the butter was melted as I watched.
Other local specialities are available according to season – we were lucky to catch moleche, soft shell crabs, which were tiny and delicious though slightly overshadowed by the accompanying (and traditional) polenta, which was superb.
A classy version of the classic pasta e fagioli (soup with pasta and beans) was excellent. Main courses include seasonal fish (John Dory, sea bass, superb sole, expertly filleted at the table, on our visit), and fairly standard lamb and beef options. The selection of tiny vegetables (the same garnishing each dish) was a disappointment.
Puddings include home-made ice cream and delicious-looking pastries, hot apple pie with pistachio sauce. The wine list is long and varied, with interesting local varieties very well represented. | <urn:uuid:f172457e-26cc-459c-bacf-323cd11bf5f3> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://restaurantsomh.com/venice/antico-martini/1530 | 2013-06-20T04:51:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368710299158/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516131819-00089-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.954447 | 412 |
Optimising your stocking rate is closely linked to profitability because it helps to utilise feed on offer without exceeding the land’s carrying capacity or relying too heavily on imported feed.
Stocking rate is a key indicator promoted by the Grazing Matcher Program, which currently supports 32 livestock enterprises in the South West and on the South Coast.
Calculating stocking rate doesn’t sound too complicated until you realise that energy requirements, and therefore feed demand, varies throughout the year depending on the animal class and stage of reproduction. To help standardise “stocking rate”, numbers are converted to a dry sheep equivalent (DSE), the maintenance energy requirements for a dry 50-kilogram merino wether (or 45 kg wether in some low rainfall publications). For example, 50 kg ewes in late pregnancy (single bearing) need more energy than a dry wether and have a feed demand equivalent to 1.3 dry sheep. Alternatively, a cow with a body weight of 500 kg and also in late lactation is equivalent to 21.5 DSE.
These conversions can be easily done with a stocking rate calculator that converts different animals into an annual and monthly DSE figure per hectare.
Grazing matcher co-facilitator Dan Parnell says measuring DSE gives producers an idea of their productivity and the energy they’re harvesting from their farm.
“DSE is really a measurement of energy. One DSE will need about 8.1-8.7 MJ of energy per day,” Dan said. “That is how much energy producers need to provide. So, if we estimate the average energy of a pasture, we can see how much pasture is being utilised per hectare, or how much needs to be made available.
“I like to do these calculations because it helps me understand where a business is at. So, if they want to make some changes to either grow more pasture or run more stock, you can see how that might play out.
“A business with a relatively low DSE with surplus feed and surplus forage in most years should be able to support a higher stocking rate in most years. However, if they don’t have a lot of surplus forage with their current stocking rate but want to lift numbers, they need to figure out how they will achieve that.
“Once you understand your numbers you have a baseline to work from. So, if you want to run more numbers, how much extra pasture do you need to grow and utilise. That guides management. If it doesn’t mean providing much more feed then it’s not too hard, whereas if it’s a big change you might be more wary. Maybe you can grow more by getting a good rotational grazing system in place, control weeds better or sow new varieties or species. So, it gives that context and confidence.”
Another benefit is to compare your DSE with costs.
“When managers invest to improve a pasture composition they also tend to spend money on other things like weed control, lime and more fertiliser, which can increase pasture yield and quality but also adds to costs, so they need a relatively higher stocking rate to make a profit from this investment.
“Optimising DSE is a big profit driver for most farms. The tipping point is where you have such high stocking rates that you’re having to utilise more imported feed, which is more expensive compared to home-grown pasture. It’s generally the businesses with a higher stocking rate, but where energy demands are met by home-grown pasture, that are most profitable.”
One manager involved in this year’s Grazing Matcher program is Brendon Giudici who farms east of Donnybrook. He has found value in calculating his stocking rate since being introduced to the tool in April this year.
“Before I started using the DSE calculator I knew how many sheep I ran per hectare, but not the nutritional demand, which is where DSE comes into it,” Brendon said. “The big thing is working backwards to work out what pasture you need to provide to carry what you’re trying to run.
“I found it good to quantify your total operation and analyse what different lease blocks provide. Some blocks might have lower DSE but also lower cost. It’s good to be able to measure that and consider your management options such as time of lambing and pellet or lupin inputs.
“I used it to run scenarios such as adding extra weaners to see how it changed DSE – will we have enough energy, or do we need to drop a few animals on a hard year, how much does it actually change things. I might look at doing DSE graze days on certain paddocks, then break down what certain pasture species are doing.”
Stocking rate calculators are available online, including here. For more information, contact South West Catchments Council’s Peter Clifton on 9724 2400.
The Grazing Matcher program is a joint initiative of the Western Beef Association and South West Catchments Council, through funding from the Australian Government’s National Landcare Program, Meat and Livestock Australia’s Profitable Grazing Systems, Revitalising Geographe Waterways, Healthy Estuaries WA and producer subscriptions. | <urn:uuid:9c7dd26d-a121-4101-83f1-e3c1e9ffc6d1> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://swccnrm.org.au/matching-stocking-rate-to-carrying-capacity/ | 2022-01-19T00:57:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320301217.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20220119003144-20220119033144-00669.warc.gz | en | 0.942053 | 1,131 |
Garda investigations are ongoing into a vicious assault on an elderly Carbury man.
The Leinster Leader understands that two men attacked Jim Cummins, in his late 60’s, at his home in Coonough, Carbury at 8.45pm on Monday February 20.
Mr Cummins heard a noise outside his mobile home and confronted the two men whom, it is reported, were wearing dark clothes, caps, had scarves around their faces and were brandishing hurleys.
It is understood that the men demanded money and a struggle ensued. Mr Cummins was later taken to Naas General Hospital with a broken arm.
He has since been released.
On the same night, at the Derries, Edenderry, two brothers in their 50s and 60s, and a neighbour, also in his 60s were in the brother’s home when two men entered the house at approximately 9pm.
It is suspected, but not confirmed, that the two incidents are related. The assailants were described as being 5’9” to 5’10” in height. They were dressed in dark clothes, armed with hurleys and wearing scarves.
Both had scars on the lower part of their faces. They threatened the brothers, demanded cash and threw turf and timber at them.
One of the brother was hit in the face.
The men responded by throwing a kettle of scalding water at their attackers.
Gardai report that after stealing a wallet with some cash, the two men fled.
Given that they were covered up, it’s hard to know what age they were, but they could have been aged from their late teens to their 30s. | <urn:uuid:74198cbe-4427-4816-b626-d454facda0ea> | CC-MAIN-2017-04 | http://www.leinsterleader.ie/news/local-news/63525/Probe-after-thugs-break-elderly-Carbury.html | 2017-01-19T12:58:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-04/segments/1484560280668.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20170116095120-00355-ip-10-171-10-70.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.99481 | 355 |
Sunderland vs Arsenal. Very interesting match for betting and placing bet on goals. In last match in Premier League Arsenal play draw at home and because of that today they really need to win. They must play as a team who want to be in first four teams in Premier League. Arsenal have been winning at both half time and full time in their last three matches against Sunderland in all competitions. Today we expect same thing from them. Arsenal are undefeated in 12 of their last 13 matches in the Premier League. For sure that they can not lose in this match but for win they must score at least two goals. They can do that and they will do that. Both teams have very big problems with missing players and exactly because of that we are sure that we can see a lots of goals on this match. We expect very exciting match and think that Sunderland also can score.
Sunderland have big injury concerns before this match. Ricardo Alvarez, Emanuele Giaccherini, Sebastian Coates and Billy Johns are all injured and for sure they will not play on match against Arsenal. Sunderland still have great players and they can try to play very well today. All expect a lot from Rodwell and Wickham on this match.
Arsenal still have a lots of players missing because of injury. Theo Walcott is finally back but he is unfit and will not be in first eleven. The most problems they have in defense line. Laurent Koscielny, David Ospina, Mesut Ozil, Olivier Giroud, Mathieu Debuchy and Yaya Sanogo are injured and can not play today. Jack Wilsher is suspended for this match and he also can not play. They have very good offensive line, but we expect that they will concede a goal and for win they must score at least two goals.
Possible starting lineups:
Sunderland: Mannone; Aanholt, Brown, O Shea, Vergini; Catermole; Wickham, Rodwell, Larsson, Johnson; Fletcher
Arsenal: Szczesny; Chambers, Mertesacker, Monreal, Gibbs; Flamini, Cazorla, Chamberlain, Sanchez, Ramsey; Welbeck
Sunderland vs Arsenal. Betting tips:
We believe that Arsenal must win on this match. They must play offensive from first minute and for sure that they need to score early so our betting tips for match Sunderland vs Arsenal Tip: 2-2 and over 2.5 goals | <urn:uuid:c0a36f66-aee1-4060-95cb-3ee44b693d5b> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | https://www.mightytips.com/sunderland-vs-arsenal-preview-match-betting-tips/ | 2017-10-21T03:06:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187824543.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20171021024136-20171021044136-00699.warc.gz | en | 0.964504 | 508 |

Adding Top Frame to Allow Switching Between Demo Sites
I'm a self taught web designer and I've come to the point where I need to learn something new: Frames. I'm starting to sell wordpress themes and I need to create a Frame that will allow users to switch between demo themes they would like to view and possibly purchase. A great example of this can be found here: woothemes.com/demo/?t=35
Now I looked up a tutorial to explain everything and even viewed some source code (shown below).
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Frameset//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-frameset.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <title>Presto Themes Demo</title> <link rel="Shortcut Icon" href="http://.../images/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" /> <meta name="description" content="Presto Themes Demo" /> <meta name="keywords" content="prestothemes, themes, wordpress" /> </head> <frameset rows="36,*" frameborder="0" border="0" framespacing="0"> <frame src="/...php/" name="switcher" scrolling="no" noresize> <frame src="UntitledFrame-1" name="main" scrolling="auto" noresize> </frameset> <noframes> <p>Sorry, your current browser does not support frames!</p> </noframes> </html>
My question is this: How do I set this up and where do I store the file with the above code?
First off, I will be making a new Wordpress Install for each theme and uploading them to the following addresses:
So I'm guessing in the code supplied above, I will need to have some index.php or something for the "Frame Source" that will generate the top bar drop down menus for switching? Where will I store this file in my directory? | <urn:uuid:a91e8ff3-ad42-480a-9b95-74ab60a3a1f2> | CC-MAIN-2015-32 | http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?625143-Adding-Top-Frame-to-Allow-Switching-Between-Demo-Sites&p=4308177&mode=threaded | 2015-08-02T03:07:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-32/segments/1438042988930.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20150728002308-00184-ip-10-236-191-2.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.729848 | 520 |
Perspectives from anthropology, history and material culture studies
9-10 November 2009
A conference held at the National Museum of Australia, in association with the School of Archaeology and Anthropology, Faculty of Arts, Australian National University.
A linking theme was the development of local 'hybrid economies' involving the articulation of Indigenous and settler social and economic forms, and the emergence of new complexes of transactions and relations.
We covered a broad variety of economies from whaling to CDEP across the span of more than two centuries.

COUNCILLORS who voted to bar the press from a standards hearing into comments allegedly made by Lord Mayor Alan Armitage have broken their silence.
Standards committee members Gwynneth Royce, Mike Gotch, James Fry and Dick Wolff voted to exclude the press and public from Wednesday’s meeting at the Town Hall.
It emerged yesterday that Labour Councillor Susanna Pressel also joined their vote.
Since the meeting, three have contacted the Oxford Mail by email to explain why.
Ms Pressel, who represents the Jericho and Osney ward, said: “With great regret I decided to vote against allowing the press in because Jeremy [Thomas, the council’s head of legal] said that if we let you in, we couldn’t say no to anyone else, eg any member of the public.”
Lib Dem Mike Gotch, councillor for Wolvercote, said: “Difficult balance and consequent decision for all of us but I will not comment further.”
James Fry, another Labour councillor, who represents the North ward, said: “The reason we voted to hold it in private was because we were informed that if we allowed press to attend the hearing, then we were obliged to allow members of the public to attend as well, and then the safeguards required to protect the identities of the children involved in the case would have been impossible to enforce.”
Despite being approached by the Oxford Mail, Mr Wolff failed to respond and Ms Royce declined to comment.
The meeting was adjourned for five weeks after Mr Armitage, who is accused of making inappropriate comments to a schoolgirl at an event in Oxford last June, announced he wanted to contest the conclusion of the investigation. | <urn:uuid:90cfc4cf-9da9-418d-a0b0-503187a40ef8> | CC-MAIN-2015-40 | http://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/yourtown/oxford/10170104.___We_didn___t_think_it_was_right_to_allow_the_public_in_/ | 2015-10-05T17:14:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-40/segments/1443736677497.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20151001215757-00175-ip-10-137-6-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.971686 | 365 |

Paint & Fabrication
The paint and fabrication elements might be a necessity for some restoration projects but for others it’s a decision based on personal taste. We always use the highest quality products to ensure that the car not only performs as well as it can, but looks its best too. Whilst we have a capacity to complete some painting in-house, routinely we deal with a number of coachwork specialists. Most of these are local and of course are also committed to our quality standards. In the same vein, we have a selection of trimmers on our books who will undertake anything from, repairing a small tear in the upholstery to a full re-trim. The only commission we have turned down in my time with the firm was a request for a crocodile and snakeskin interior with silver and ivory fittings: technically possible of course but morally questionable. By having a variety of paint and trim firms regularly engaged we can usually meet tight deadlines and negotiate keen rates for work. | <urn:uuid:513f1699-cb6b-4d90-a3fd-2ad061cc9dd8> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://www.spencer-lj.com/services/paint-and-fabrication.htm | 2017-06-23T03:27:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128319992.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20170623031127-20170623051127-00160.warc.gz | en | 0.968079 | 201 |
It’s FAFSA season! You might have heard about it from your student’s high school, read about it online, or just spoke with other parents. Regardless of how you heard about it, the clock is ticking.
Now the question is, who gets aid? If you are fortunate enough to have financial resources to pay for college, kudos to you. If a family has low income and assets, they will receive a lot of need-based aid.
But what if you’re in the middle? If you are a middle-class family from a generally well-off area of Del Sur, Rancho Bernardo or Poway, but you’re not wealthy, it’s likely your Expected Family Contribution (EFC) will be higher than you expect.
You may also be outside the range of need-based aid. In addition, you probably have a lot of responsibilities that make it hard to find extra money to pay for college expenses.
In general, these families – which are a large percentage of America – struggle to pay for college. They often find themselves facing gaps between what they can afford and the cost of college. If you’re in this “no man’s land,” you need a solid strategy.

Newark police searching for escaped wolf hybrid
The Columbus Dispatch Friday January 20, 2012 12:05 PM
The hybrid wolf was last seen yesterday at about 9 p.m.
Newark police are cautioning residents after a hybrid wolf escaped from its owner late yesterday.
The animal escaped and was last seen by its owner at about 9 p.m. yesterday, in the area of Oakwood Avenue and the Rt. 16/Rt. 79 overpass, according to a news release from Newark police. Officers were not alerted to the animal’s escape until this morning, police said.
“The aggression level of the animal is not known, but it is an exotic animal,” the release states.
Police and animal-control officers have searched the area, but have not found the animal. Police notified local schools and asked them to keep children inside.
Anyone who spots the animal is advised to avoid contact and call Newark police at 740-670-7200. | <urn:uuid:a3afcedd-0bd5-46f2-b6c4-f33efd7b5a69> | CC-MAIN-2020-05 | http://www.tonyburkhart.com/2012/01/joerogan-newark-police-searching-for.html | 2020-01-26T04:38:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-05/segments/1579251687725.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20200126043644-20200126073644-00224.warc.gz | en | 0.967514 | 204 |
Accessibility for All
Trans-inclusive Awareness Campaign
“Parks and Recreation for All”. One of the Park Board’s priority is to make community facilities more friendly, safe, and open to everyone—including transgender and gender variant people. The campaign highlights the faces and stories of our trans/transgender/gender variant communities. Materials designed to strengthen the Board’s commitment to “parks and recreation for all” include: educational posters, brochures, postcards.
The campaign is a continuation of the Park Board’s trans-inclusive initiative and ongoing programming. In January, the Board launched Vancouver’s first trans-inclusive public swim at Templeton Pool and began piloting trans-inclusive signage on washrooms and change rooms. Trout Lake Community Centre also has a gender neutral washroom located by the rink and is in the process of having trans-inclusive signage posted in the facility.
More information of the Park Board’s initiative can be found here.
Building for Accessibility
Building for accessibility is an important part of being an inclusive city. Over 15% of Vancouver residents have some form of physical disability or mobility restriction. This includes people using wheelchairs, walkers, canes, and strollers. When you add their accompanying family and friends, approximately 50% of Vancouver residents are affected by poor access to buildings. Trout Lake Community Centre is a fully accessible facility with an elevator located by the Lakewood Room. The accessibility of a building depends on the entrance, door widths, and door handles of the building.
Many older buildings in Vancouver are inaccessible because of just two or three stairs at the entrance. A short ramp or raised section of sidewalk can replace stairs, making the building entrance accessible.
Ramps and elevated sidewalks should be at a maximum angle of 10% and include at least one handrail. The City may consider steeper ramps, if they are short in length.
New buildings should always avoid adding stairs and include ramps at the entrance.
The minimum door width to accommodate wheelchairs is 860mm. Existing door widths can sometimes be increased by using swing away hinges, however some remodelling of the door frame may be required.
Lever-operated door handles are the standard accessible door handle in North America. These door handles are easy to use with only one hand and do not require any tight grasping, or wrist twisting. | <urn:uuid:3bafc0ba-f84c-4612-a4f9-98c790ba7d5f> | CC-MAIN-2017-17 | http://troutlakecc.com/about/accessibility/ | 2017-05-01T06:07:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-17/segments/1492917127681.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20170423031207-00065-ip-10-145-167-34.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.932471 | 497 |
Alebrijes Studio of Jacobo y Maria Angeles
The Alebrijes workshop of Jacobo y Maria Angeles has perfected the art known as Alebrijes, fantastical creatures carved of “copal” wood, over the last three decades. The artists combine the elements of nature, such as plants, flowers, and animals, acknowledging the Zapotec culture, with unbounded creativity and excellent color combinations. The fusion of wood carvings with the intricate painting have great expression and movement that some may even find spiritual.
We had the pleasure of meeting Jacobo Angeles at our store, No Mas! Productions, on April 9, 2017. This marks his second visit to No Mas! in Atlanta and we were fortunate to meet him in person and share our love for Mexico, the arts, sustainability, and life. Having previously been to his workshop in San Martin Tilcajete, Oaxaca, we have personally experienced the process of making Alebrijes.
Woodcarving of Alebrijes
The “copal” tree, which is also used as incense, supplies the wood used for carving Alebrijes. It is dried for months before being used. The woodcarver claims to let the branch “speak to him” and dictate what final form will result from the hours of carving it takes to make each Alebrije. Several levels of carving transpire; rough to fine are followed by intense sanding .
The Art of Painting Alebrijes
Certificate of Authenticity
After personally meeting Jacobo Angeles, we soon saw that his love for the art of Alebrijes is matched by his respect for people and the environment. When visiting his workshop in San Martin Tilcajete last year, it was obvious that he treated his employees with respect. From the clothes they wear to the beautiful “outdoor break room”, it was clear that Jacobo created something special in the management of his studio as well. His passion extends to realizing that his craft is limited by the material from which the Alebrijes are made: the copal tree. He plants numerous trees for each one he harvests, ensuring the craft for future generations. He is generous in sharing his story with others and teaching the locals so that his legacy lives on. | <urn:uuid:e2de8540-99cf-46c9-99b3-9fcd571859c0> | CC-MAIN-2018-17 | http://nomasproductions.com/alebrijes-collection | 2018-04-24T01:13:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-17/segments/1524125946314.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20180424002843-20180424022843-00001.warc.gz | en | 0.976783 | 487 |
I may already have shocked and horrified thousands (or, let's be realistic, mildly amused tens) by quoting Mr Fishwife : "I don't see the point of fiction, myself." I should point out here that, in his defence, Mr Fishwife is an intelligent, articulate, well-read person. It's just that his idea of a good read tends to be the breeze-block-sized tome entitled Stalingrad, The Somme, or Hitler: The Dancing Years (... Obviously I made the last one up - far too frivolous). "Why would I want to read books about a bunch of people having nervous breakdowns in Islington?" was his initial defence; fair enough, I thought, me neither, although to consider this tiny tiny microcosm of the genre as representative of the whole of Fiction is to consider Betty Blue representative of all subtitled movies. The point of these books is not the plot development (surely everyone knows the name of Hitler's hairdresser by now?) but the nerdily desperate hope that this particular historian may have new material. No twists, no turns, no denouement.HOWEVER.
Over the weekend, I enjoyably worked through not one but three works of fiction*. None of them, I might add, set in Islington. Every now and then I would look up at the television and it took me a while to notice that he was watching the same rugby match for the third time. "Haven't England already played Argentina?" I said. "Oh all right, all right," he replied defensively "You know how you like to reread a book for the style and the language? Same thing." My conclusion is that there is a frustrated literary stylist in all of us. In some people it only reveals itself as a love of the finer points of a rugby match.
* The Little Stranger by Sarah Waters - excellent, very creepy in a postwar Daphne du Maurier kind of way, and unusually not a Sapphic interlude in sight.
Noah's Compass by Anne Tyler - I do like her. And found myself distressingly identifying with the slightly tetchy 60-year-old male main character.
Turbulence by Giles Foden - Actually still only halfway through this one so will have to reserve judgement until I've finished. Beats Ladysmith into a cocked hat though. Up there with The Last King Of Scotland so far. | <urn:uuid:c0f9e06d-2c3a-45e8-b447-9bd8d362ab00> | CC-MAIN-2015-11 | http://lucyfishwife.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html | 2015-03-02T03:27:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-11/segments/1424936462700.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20150226074102-00120-ip-10-28-5-156.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.969905 | 501 |
Memphis’s deeply knotted influence on American music gets a timely celebration in the new documentary Take Me to the River, opening this Friday in limited release and then later around the country.
My review is at Film Journal International:
There’s no end of love flowing off the screen in Martin Shore’s thrilled-to-be-here celebration of the Memphis Sound. That should be no surprise, given the legends that longtime producer and (clearly) first-time director Shore assembled for a promising marriage of old and new schools of music. The list of onscreen talent is deep, from Mavis Staples and Charlie Musselwhite to rapper Al Kapone and a bench of murderously talented session men. The organizing principle is that by joining different traditions and generations in the recording studio, the film can divine the source of that alchemical magic Memphis music has produced over the years. It also wants to serve as a monument to these heroes, a few of whom passed away before the film was finished…
