A drama season celebrating Bengali theatre in East London has attracted a crop of talented writers to stage a series of original works and adaptations.
Organised by Tower Hamlets Council’s Arts and Event team, A Season of Bangla Drama, is an annual event now in its eighth year showcasing new writing and the work of drama groups in the borough chronicling the Bengali community.
Eight works have been selected to premiere at the festival which will be staged at The Brady Arts Centre in Hanbury Street, Whitechapel, from November 6-28.
The festival will include plays tackling a wide range of issues from the plight of restaurant workers in the UK to women’s rights and social inequality but with a fresh, funny and light hearted approach.
Rehearsals are currently underway for the festival. The Council is supporting the rich seam of talent by providing free rehearsal space at the Kobi Nazrul Centre in Whitechapel, technical assistance for lighting and music and help with marketing and promoting their show ahead of the festival.
Steve Murray, Head of Arts and Events at Tower Hamlets Council said: “A Season of Bangla Drama is one of our flagship events which celebrates new writing and promoting the wealth of talent we have here in the borough.
By offering a diverse programme we hope to build on our reputation for offering a prestigious, high quality and unique celebration of Bengali art.”

On Thursday we were celebrating the day of the dead in Mexico. To celebrate day of the dead traditions we made our own sugar skulls. The sugar skulls are a very detailed and are covered in flowers, swirls and other patterns.
This week my class has been working very hard on our inquiry, the topic is energy. I am doing mine on stored energy like batteries. Other kids are doing theirs on oil, water, solar, wind, gas, biomass (food energy), nuclear and geothermal. We are going to have a expo in week 8 to show the school and parents what we have been learning at school. I am going to do my presentation on a smore, slide show and do a experiment.
On Monday our school had Italian day. The theme was Roman empire, we had to dress up as someone from that time. I came as a wealthy women in the Roman times. I was wearing my dads white t-shirt with a gold belt, a gold leafed head piece with a red sash.
There were lots of activities to do like boche, mosaic, coin making and puppets. the best thing about Italian day is we get ice-cream and pizza.

My friend Georgia choose board games because she likes to compete with someone face to face.
Alannah likes playing on electronic things but she also likes board because she likes to see someone when she is playing.
Melbourne cup is a very big celebration for all people that are into racing. You can bet money on a horse and if the horse wins you get the money that you bet. The horses that go in the race are worth about $1,000,000. If you go to the Melbourne cup it is most likely you will see people with big hats or tuxedoes. The winner will get a trophy, heaps of money and flowers to put around the horses neck. They will also have a photo taken in the winners circle.

WASHINGTON – On Saturday, November 18th, MidCity and the D.C. Department of Employment Services (DOES) hosted their first ever career fair at the Israel Baptist Church in the Brentwood neighborhood of Washington D.C. The event brought together 44 businesses and community benefit organizations with over 185 job seekers from across the District, including many Brookland Manor residents.
Employers at the fair spanned the retail, security, armed services, construction, property management, hospitality, health, and restaurant industries. Employers collected applications and even conducted on-the-spot interviews.
“Our mission at MidCity goes far beyond housing. We work every day to improve the community we serve here at Brookland Manor, and this career fair has opened doors of opportunity for many residents and connected them with critical resources,” said MidCity’s Director of Community Relations, Dr. Robert Johns. “We would like to thank all those who participated in this year’s career fair, and we are looking forward to hosting another in 2018.”
The RIA Resident Committee, comprised of Brookland Manor residents supportive of the redevelopment, also had an informational booth at the event.
Local community organizations and representatives from Councilmember Kenyan McDuffie’s office and Mayor Muriel Bowser’s office also attended. Many groups provided education services, like mentoring for the G.E.D. and college prep, as well as mental and physical health referrals. The Community Services Foundation also distributed no-cost professional attire on site.
D.C.’s Department of Employment Services had their Workforce on Wheels (W.O.W.) team on location.

Striptease when decorating sex tip
Lovehoney Community members share their sex tips…
"I've recently been painting my house and my fella has been exhausted from work and not fancying any action.
So every time I walked back into the room I removed another bit of clothing - by the sixth time I was down to my thong and he could not get enough of me.
My tip is when decorating, do it naked. It has worked 3 nights running and has been out of this world. Mind-blowing sex!"

B. Toys are all about creating toys that bring out the individuality of children. Their toys feature innovative, sensible designs that are made to be durable and last while being bright, colorful, and interesting too! Their H2-Whoa! takes a new spin on a traditional doodle board by letting your child play with water! The board comes with 4 pens so multiple children can all play at once and when you inevitably loose one or two, you still have pens left to color with. The board is dual sided with different colors on each side of the board to make the art even more fun. My boys loved playing with their H2-Whoa! They would scribble and draw as fast as they could and then flip over the board and start over. They loved checking to see if they had “beat” the water drying on the other side or if it was already blank and ready for them to color again. They ended up in big fits of laughter when they would draw shapes that would pretty quickly disappear and they’d race to fill up the board with shapes before their first began to dry. I love that the board is reusable and lets all my boys play at once. The pens filled with water last a surprising long time before they need to be refilled which is great, too!
The Stackadoos let my children build and create. They are easy enough to build with that even my 20 month old has no problem handling the waffle style blocks. My boys all loved the pieces that would twist and turn the best. While I love these blocks and my kids have fun playing with them, their attention span towards the Stackadoos is very limited. They seem to run out of creation ideas quickly and move onto something else. That being said, they still have pulled them out nearly daily since they arrived. B. Toys Elemenosqueeze blocks include 26 soft squeezeable blocks with a variety of shapes and sizes. I absolutely love these blocks! They are squishy and soft so when they get thrown (bound to happen with 3 boys) they don’t hurt anyone or anything. They are also great for infants on up, which means you’ll get lots of play from this one cute set. The different architectural shapes make it fun to dream up castles and ruins with the blocks. I also absolutely adore the animals and letters printed across the sides of the blocks. Each block represents a letter of the alphabet and an animal to correspond with the letter. That makes these educational and double for some character acting with the animals! My boys have had fun playing with the blocks, but they are another toy that seems to have a pretty short play time in a single sitting.
You can find B. Toys online at OneStepAhead and Amazon as well as in stores at Target and at a few local retailers as well.

GUN CONTROL SYSTEM
Public Act 13-3
Lieutenant Michael Edelwich, 860-262-5326
Public Act 13-3, An Act Concerning Gun Violence Prevention and Children’s Safety prevents anyone who has been voluntarily admitted to a hospital for persons with psychiatric disabilities … within the preceding six (6) months for care and treatment of a psychiatric disability and not solely for being an alcohol-dependent person or a drug-dependent person from obtaining a firearm application, permit, or certificate, for six (6) months after their date of voluntary admission. These individuals would also be ineligible to possess a firearm.
Additionally, anyone who has been committed to a hospital for persons with psychiatric disabilities by order of a probate court, within the preceding sixth (60) months, is prevented from obtaining a firearm application, permit, or certificate. These individuals would also be ineligible to possess a firearm forever, unless the person seeks restoration through the probate court.
The Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (DMHAS) is required to advise the hospital for psychiatric disabilities to which a person has been either voluntarily admitted or committed by order of a probate court, of the status of a firearm application, permit, or certificate and possession of a firearm, as reported by the Commissioner of Emergency Services and Public Protection (DESSP) for consideration by such hospital in any psychiatric treatment procedures.
The Division of Safety Services has been designated the responsibilities pertaining to Public Act 13-3, Sections 8, 10-11 and 57-58. | <urn:uuid:61d800f5-0788-44a2-98e4-fa1f731a84a1> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://portal.ct.gov/DMHAS/Divisions/Safety-Services/DSS---Gun-Control | 2020-09-30T18:44:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600402127397.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20200930172714-20200930202714-00094.warc.gz | en | 0.936017 | 319 |

Column: If you thought the first two years of Pope Francis' papacy were tumultuous and exciting, you ain't seen nothing yet.
Pope Francis is expected to arrive July 6 in Ecuador, starting a three-country tour of his home continent, The Associated Press reported from Quito.
The trip, the pope's second to South America since being elected in March 2013, also would include stops in Bolivia and Paraguay, two fast-growing countries in recent years, but still among the poorest on the continent.
Formation directors for religious orders must be "lovingly attentive" to those they are guiding so that "the eventual crisis of quantity does not result in a much graver crisis of quality."
Pope Francis said atrocities from the past have to be recognized for true reconciliation and healing to come to the world.
Members of the Vatican commission on clergy sexual abuse say Cardinal Sean O'Malley made them feel heard in their concerns about a controversial Chilean bishop.
Declaring the upcoming jubilee, Pope Francis powerfully calls on the Catholic church to refashion as a place not of judgment but of pardon.
Four survivors of abuse will make an unscheduled visit to Rome on Sunday, hoping to encounter Pope Francis at home.
Celebrating the first vespers for Divine Mercy Sunday, Pope Francis formally will deliver the "bull of indiction" or proclamation of the extraordinary Holy Year of Mercy.
Portions of the document will be read Saturday in front of the Holy Door at St. Peter's Basilica, the Vatican announced. The Holy Door, usually bricked up, is opened at the beginning of a jubilee year.
The Holy Year of Mercy is scheduled for Dec. 8, 2015, to Nov. 20, 2016.
Eco Catholic: Pope Francis will soon release his encyclical on the environment. We look at what he's said in the past for hints about what may come.
Faith and Justice: True, Cardinal Burke was sidelined, but no other curial cardinal was removed from his job in a way that looked like an embarrassing demotion. | <urn:uuid:3ec48ec4-8264-47f7-97d4-f87baaf47ee0> | CC-MAIN-2016-26 | http://ncronline.org/channel/vatican?page=65&splash= | 2016-06-30T17:15:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-26/segments/1466783398873.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20160624154958-00142-ip-10-164-35-72.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.964083 | 426 |

I too feel how heinous and inequitable it is that our Wall Street millionaires, the bankers, the 1%; the corporate managers etc. act criminally and are never prosecuted for their crimes while at the same time the poor and desperate are disproportionately prosecuted and persecuted and jailed for trivial offenses. Yes we all know this. Most people just shrug their shoulders. We live in denial. The real problem is that

Sophie Griffiths shares her fave funny women
You would be forgiven for thinking that stand-up is a male dominated scene. It does seem that way when the majority of panel shows have male hosts or predominantly white cis male comedians as the guests.
But fear not! We have put together a big ol’ list of queer women in comedy who are hilarious and relatable in their experiences and observations.
If you fancy a giggle, this one’s for you…
1. Suzi Ruffell
Suzi Ruffell is a great queer comedian celebrating her working class roots in the best way possible, stand-up comedy! She’s been performing for over ten years, performing shows at Edinburgh Fringe, and appearing on Mock The Week and 8 Out Of 10 Cats.
She co-hosts the queer podcast, Like Minded Friends, with Tom Allen (which has had me laughing out loud on public transport more than once).
You can catch her all over the UK over the next few months performing her five-star Edinburgh show Nocturnal. Check out this hilarious clip.
2. Jodie Mitchell
New kid on the block, Jodie Mitchell, is on the DIVA radar and we think she’s going to be big.
She’s already competed in the New Comedy Awards 2018, is one half of Secret Dinosaur Cult, co-founder of The LOL Word and performs as John Travulva with Pecs Drag Kings. She also once got chlamydia from a budgie, which just makes her even funnier.
You can catch live recordings of Secret Dinosaur Cult now and again and hopefully she will tour some stand-up in the near future.
Check out this clip of Jodie performing at The Funny Women Awards Final in 2018
3. Rosie Jones
Rosie Jones is a British queer comedian who first performed stand-up comedy without preparation at a friend’s comedy night. She’s since gone onto have a debut show at Edinburgh Festival and is writing her own sitcom.
Her comedic timing is flawless. Set on breaking the stigma around talking about disability, she proves that comedy is about a lot more than just being funny.
Follow her on Twitter @josierones to see what she’s up to and grab tickets if you can! Also, check out this hilarious video.
4. Catherine Bohart
Catherine Bohart is an award-winning comedian, writer and actor. She started performing stand-up in 2015 and since then has enjoyed a rapid rise in the comedy scene.
She’s been described as “a comic with both a distinctive voice and story you’d like to hear”.
Her current show, Immaculate, is all about her life as a bisexual woman with OCD and being the daughter of a Catholic deacon.
You can watch this hilarious video of her and her girlfriend (fellow comic Sarah Keyworth) to get you started. We’re sure you’ll love her.
5. Mae Martin
Mae Martin is Canada’s sweetest export and has been performing comedy since she was just 13 years old.
She has had a BBC Radio 4 podcast Mae Martin’s Guide To 21st Century Sexuality, which is now being turned into a book, Can Everyone Please Calm Down? We can’t wait to read it when it comes out in May.
You can also catch her show, Dope, on the Netflix show Comedians Of The World, which is brilliantly funny and relatable.
6. Sophie Duker
Sophie describes herself as a “sexy-cerebral comedy underdog” and we can see why. Her fanbase is quickly growing and we’re included.
You may know her for founding and hosting Manic Pixie Dream Girls, an international, intersectional feminist comedy show that appeared at the Edinburgh Fringe a few years ago.
Since last year, she’s also been hosting Wacky Racists, a comedy cabaret game-show. We’re sure we’ll be seeing a lot more of her as she’s been writing plenty of shows and comedy pilots for the likes of Channel 4 and Comedy Central UK.
Follow her on Twitter @sophiedukebox to check out what she’s up to or where you can catch her shows.
7. Chloe Petts
Chloe Petts has established herself as one of the most exciting new acts on the circuit right now. She is an alumna of the prestigious Pleasance Comedy Reserve, shortlisted for the BBC Comedy Award and came runner-up in the Funny Women Awards 2017.
She is a co-founder of The LOL Word, a queer comedy collective that hosts sell-out monthly London nights, boasting the finest female and non-binary acts on the circuit.

8. Florence Schecter
Florence Schecter is the woman behind the UK’s first Vagina Museum, which of course qualifies her for this list. The museum will promote LGBTQI rights as Florence stated in an interview “if I were living in one of the world’s 12 countries with death penalties for gay people, I too would have been sentenced to death” as she is a queer Jewish woman.
On top of that, she’s a brilliant stand-up comic and science communications professional in her 20s. I managed to catch her show Queer By Nature at Vault Festival, here’s a taste online that you can check out. She’s wonderful.
9. Gina Yashere
Gina has been a stand-up and TV star in the UK for a while, appearing on shows such as Live At The Apollo and Mock The Week. Gina broke her way onto the American comedy scene with her appearances on Last Comic Standing, where she made it to the final 10 and never went home!
Last year, she released her own Netflix Original Comedy Special which she wrote and performed called Skinny Bitch. You can also find her show Laughing To America on there along with her performance for The Standups.
Check out this hilarious video of Gina talking about her mum.
10. Jen Brister
Jen Brister is a critically acclaimed stand-up comedian, writer and actor and a mother of twins.
You can hear Jen being hilarious on her podcast Maureen & Jen with fellow comedian Maureen Younger here: soundcloud.com/jen-brister
She might be recognisable from her Live At The Apollo appearance in 2017 and her guest spots on the Guilty Feminist, Standard Issue podcast and Global Pillage.
11. Sofie Hagen
Sofie Hagen truly is the podcast queen right now. She is the hilarious host of Made of Human, Secret Dinosaur Cult and Comedians Telling Stuff, and previously co-hosted The Guilty Feminist.
Her new show Bubblewrap/Happy Fat is a book and stand-up comedy tour combined, and we’re positive it’s going to be hilarious. She’s also obsessed with Westlife, but we can forgive her for that.
Check out Sofie’s definition of feminism here and you’ll see why we love her.
12. Rosie Wilby
Rosie Wilby is a DIVA favourite, of course. She hosts Radio DIVA every Tuesday at half 6 at 104.4FM alongside Heather Peace, whilst also focussing on comedy, music, writing and broadcasting.
She’s performed as a comedian and as a musician all over – at Sydney Mardi Gras, Latitude Festival, Glastonbury Festival, Ronnie Scotts, and that’s just to name a few.
Make sure you tune into Radio DIVA every Tuesday if you want to find out about any of Rosie’s upcoming shows and you’ll be probably fall just as in love with her as we have.
This list really could go on forever. There’s so many brilliantly funny queer women dominating the comedy scene right now, but this is just some to get you started. Let us know who your favourites are!

We had hardly finished off the last of the white bean chicken chili I made a week or two back when we went back to the grocery store. Jeremy popped another whole chicken into the cart, indicating that he really likes it when I make roasted chickens because of the leftovers. So on Sunday I roasted that up, and Jeremy’s been happily eating roast chicken sandwiches from the leftovers. He also requested another batch of white bean chicken chili, and I happily obliged. It’s perhaps not quite as white as it is supposed to be, because of the amounts of red spices mixed in and the bright orange cheddar grated over top, but it’s just delicious, and reheats well for my lunches while Jeremy’s making sandwiches.
White Bean Chicken Chili
The original recipe came from Epicurious, but I made a number of adjustments that worked really nicely for my palate, so I’m rewriting it here for my own benefit.
1 medium sweet onion, chopped
2 large garlic cloves, coarsely minced
2 T olive oil
¼ C unsalted butter
1/3 C all-purpose flour
1 C chicken broth, heated
2 C 1% milk, heated
½ tsp chili powder
1 ½ tsp ground cumin
1 tsp sweet smoked paprika
½ tsp hot paprika
½ tsp salt, or to taste
½ tsp white pepper, or to taste
1 can navy, cannellini or Great Northern beans, drained
1 can creamed corn
2 dried chipotle chilies (optional)
Leftover roasted chicken, shredded (I used one each of breast, thigh and leg)
½ C sour cream
½ C grated Monterey Jack or cheddar (about 6 ounces)
In a soup pot, cook onion and garlic in 2 tablespoons oil over moderate heat with a pinch of salt, until softened. Remove from pan and set aside.
In the same pot, melt 4 tablespoons butter over moderately low heat and whisk in flour. Cook roux, whisking constantly, 3 minutes. Stir in onion and gradually add hot broth and milk, whisking constantly. Bring mixture to a boil and simmer, stirring, for 3-5 minutes or until thickened. Whisk in spices. Add beans, corn, and dried chipotles, and shredded chicken, and cook mixture over moderately low heat, stirring, 20 minutes. Stir sour cream into chili and heat through. Serve with shredded cheese as a garnish, and some biscuits for dipping.
Notes: The second time I made this, I didn’t have creamed corn, so I just tossed in some frozen white corn kernels. They tasted great, but I noticed there wasn’t quite as much chili, so I’d probably add an extra cup or so of broth to compensate. It’s so thick already that I don’t think that would be a problem.
Update 2/20/09: Nolan loved this, and ate quite a bit. He’s a huge fan of the rotisserie chicken, and also likes beans, corn, onions, and cheese, though the corn seemed to go right through him unfazed. | <urn:uuid:b539b016-6fdd-4a68-a9cc-31eaad0d99d1> | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | https://persnicketypalate.com/2007/05/24/orange-chili/ | 2018-10-23T20:15:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-43/segments/1539583517376.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20181023195531-20181023221031-00484.warc.gz | en | 0.935252 | 657 |

#Hyperhidrosis treatment featured in Philippines! State-of-the-art technology on ‘Salamat Dok’ http://t.co/x4nC0bREBh Tune in!
Extreme nighttime sweating, NOT due to an overheated room, too many blankets or hyper-insulating pajamas, is fairly common. In one study of 2,267 people visiting primary care physicians, 41% said they experience night sweats.
Sometimes doctors call excess nighttime sweating “night sweats” or severe nighttime “hot flashes.” These episodes are described as drenching sleepwear and sheets and disrupting sleep. While not a type of primary focal hyperhidrosis, night sweats are something the experts at the International Hyperhidrosis Society often receive questions about. To help us get to the bottom of night sweats, we talked to International Hyperhidrosis Society Board of Directors President and founding member, Dr. Dee Anna Glaser. Dr. Glaser is also Professor of Dermatology and Vice Chairman for the Department of Dermatology at Saint Louis University School of Medicine, St. Louis, Missouri. (She is also registered in our hyperhidrosis Physician Finder if you'd like to set an appointment with her.)
"This is an important category," says Dr. Glaser. "Experiencing night sweats could be significant. Don't disregard it. Drenching night sweats or a change in your pattern of sweating has to be evaluated." Many different medical conditions can cause night sweats, she adds. To figure out what’s going on with you, visit your doctor for a complete physical. Your doctor will need to obtain a detailed medical history (including travel history) and order tests to figure out whether there is an underlying medical problem at work.
Medications are also a common cause of night sweats. Frequent culprits are antidepressants, other psychiatric medicines, hormone therapy, and medications taken to decrease the level of sugar (glucose) in your blood. Even medicine taken to lower fever (aspirin, acetaminophen) can lead to sweating. So can cortisone, prednisone, and prednisolone.
We should mention here that flushing is different from night sweats. Flushing is redness of the skin, typically of the neck and cheeks that is sometimes confused with night sweats. There are a number of drugs that can cause flushing including: niacin, tamoxifen, hydralazine, nitroglycerine, and sildenafil (Viagra).
If you suffer from night sweats. It’s important to talk to your doctor about it, especially if the night sweats are accompanied by a fever or other symptoms such as unexplained weight loss. "Most night sweating is not idiopathic [from an unknown cause]," says Dr. Glaser. "There is usually an underlying medical condition that needs to be addressed." Tell your doctor about any medications you take, including over-the-counter and herbal or “natural” supplements or vitamins.
While you and your physician figure out if there is an underlying medical cause for your nighttime sweating (a critical step!), there are things you can do to make bedtime more comfortable.
Keep your bedroom at a moderate temperature. Use fans for air circulation.
Wear moisture-wicking/quick-drying pajamas like Cool-jams. Long underwear used for camping or comfortable exercise garments made of moisture-wicking fabrics may be good choices.

Wicked Sheets are made specifically for night sweats and were created by a woman who has this exact problem. Learn more at www.wickedsheets.com.

Remember, if you suffer from night sweats, see your doctor without delay. This is a common problem with a lot of potential causes and some are serious. Talk to your doctor and get the appropriate treatment. | <urn:uuid:c6d383c3-829d-4c44-af3a-34c5aa08c03a> | CC-MAIN-2015-18 | http://sweathelp.org/en/where-do-you-sweat/other-sweating/night-sweats.html | 2015-04-19T19:03:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-18/segments/1429246639414.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20150417045719-00162-ip-10-235-10-82.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.929899 | 899 |

Tibetan Leaders Struggle to Cope With Spate of Self-Immolations
In his first overtly political statement, one of the most senior Tibetan religious figures—a young man who is likely to step into the shoes of the Dalai Lama as de facto religious leader of the Tibetan people—this week called on Tibetans to end a string of spectacular acts of self-immolation in protest against Chinese rule.
In the statement he issued in India, where he’s lived in exile ever since his dramatic escape from Tibet a dozen years ago, the youthful 17th Karmapa praised the “pure motivation” of the Buddhist devotees who set themselves on fire, saying “these desperate acts… are a cry against the injustice and repression under which they live.” However, in the first such statement from a senior Tibetan religious figure, the Karmapa went on to request that Tibetans “preserve their lives and find other, constructive ways to work for the cause of Tibet… We Tibetans are few in number, so every Tibetan life is of value to the cause of Tibet.”
The fact that the 17th Karmapa is recognized by both Tibetan exiles and by Beijing makes him a powerful figure. When the Dalai Lama dies, the Karmapa is likely to take the Dalai Lama’s place as the most influential adult spiritual leader of the Tibetan people.
So far this year, 11 Tibetan Buddhist monks, former monks, and nuns have set themselves on fire in Tibetan communities of China’s southwestern province of Sichuan, in acts of protest against official Chinese repression. In a 12th case, a man dressed in monk’s robes and draped in a Tibetan flag reportedly chanted “Long live Tibet” before setting himself on fire Thursday in Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, which shares a long border with Tibet.
The Karmapa’s statements mark the first time the increasingly influential young religious leader has openly criticized Chinese policies in such stark terms, declaring that Tibetans are living under “unbearably difficult” circumstances and appealing for Beijing to “heed Tibetans’ legitimate demands and to enter into meaningful dialogue with them instead of brutally trying to achieve their silence.” His words also suggest that senior Tibetan lamas have no control over the suicides and hope to reign them in for fear that more fiery acts of protest would trigger greater repression from Chinese authorities.
Although Tibetan Buddhists revere life as a precious gift, if the motivation for taking a life is altruistic (and not motivated by selfish desires), the result of such actions does not necessarily generate bad karma. As a result, Tibetan Buddhists are not generally vegetarian—and while suicides are rare among Tibetans, the recent self-immolations evoke a similar phenomenon during the 1960s, triggered by Vietnamese Buddhist monk Thich Quang Duc, who set himself on fire and burned to death in a Saigon intersection to protest the anti-Buddhist policies of South Vietnam’s Ngo Dinh Diem administration—a fiery act that was captured in a Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph.
The 25-year-old Karmapa’s unusual criticism of Beijing underscores his fast-growing popularity—and movie-star good looks—leading many to see him as a quasi-successor to the aging Dalai Lama as the spiritual leader of exiled Tibetans.
The charismatic Karmapa denies he has any ambition to become a direct successor to the much-revered Dalai Lama. “I face enough challenges fulfilling my role as Karmapa,” he told The Daily Beast in an exclusive interview this year. (Moreover, Tibetologists point out that direct succession is a non-starter since the Karmapa heads the Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism, which is an entirely different lineage than the Gelug school, which the Dalai Lama heads.) Nevertheless, many Tibetans see the Karmapa gradually taking on the role of a religious authority figure for compatriots both inside and outside Tibet.
And he holds a truly unique trump card allowing him to do so: although Chinese authorities were taken by surprise when the Karmapa fled Tibet in December 1999, Beijing officials have thus far refrained from denouncing him. (By contrast, they vilify the Dalai Lama as advocating “terrorism in disguise.“) At least for the moment, the Chinese regime’s official line is that the young Karmapa travelled to India for religious reasons—and that he’s welcome to return home so long as he doesn’t “betray the motherland.” Nor has the Karmapa ruled out the possibility of returning to Tibet. “As Karmapa I have the responsibility to do whatever I can do so that Tibetans can fully preserve their culture and religion and not be isolated,” he told The Daily Beast. Like the Dalai Lama, he says he “is not seeking independence for Tibet but full and real autonomy.”
In his first clearly political statements in exile, the Karmapa appears more than ever to be exhibiting the caliber of leadership and authority that Tibetans are longing to see as the hugely popular Dalai Lama prepares for his succession. (Although he remains the top Tibetan religious leader, the Dalai Lama recently passed political authority over the Tibetan government-in-exile to a Western-educated Tibetan, Lobsang Sangay.) The Karmapa’s political attitudes seem very much in line with the non-violent stance of the Dalai Lama. The Dalai Lama has blamed Chinese authorities’ “cultural genocide” for the self-immolations, but has not openly called for an end to the suicides. This month during a visit to Tokyo, the 76-year-old Nobel laureate said Beijing’s hardline policies in Tibetan communities over the past 10 to 15 years are why “these sorts of sad incidents happen, due to the desperateness of the situation.”
The Karmapa agrees that Tibetans face “desperate circumstances” and that “repressive measures can never bring about unity and stability.” However he regretted the deaths of Tibetans, who had mostly been “very young. They had a long future ahead of them, an opportunity to contribute in ways that they have now foregone. In Buddhist teaching life is precious. To achieve anything worthwhile we need to preserve our lives.”
Tibetan exiles have had high hopes for the Karmapa ever since early 2000, when the teenager virtually materialized on the Dalai Lama’s doorstep in Dharamsala after a harrowing, clandestine escape from Tsurphu monastery outside Lhasa. The elder religious leader took the younger lama under his wing, and recently told The Daily Beast he was impressed by the Karmapa’s “intelligence and his faith toward spirituality.”
Earlier this year, both Tibetan religious leaders appeared together onstage in a rare joint public appearance during a Buddhist teaching in Washington D.C.—“electrifying the audience, as if they were rock stars,” as one Western Buddhist put it. The world no doubt will be hearing and seeing a lot more of the Karmapa, as long as Tibetan culture remains under siege and Chinese authorities continue to sow bad karma in the Himalayas.

“ Brand: Iron Fist / Type: High Heels „
Appearance and Material
The eyeballs and tentacle heels are available in the blue shade(picture above) and a yellow shade in a slightly different style and bigger heels. I have the blue pair however as they are nicer than the yellow ones. The show design is pretty self explanatory, it's eyeballs and tentacles all over the shoe. There are large printed gooey eyeballs which are pink and turquoise all over the shoes with squid or octopus like tentacles scattered around as well. The design is very busy, there is a lot going out but it's a really cool and different design making them really unique. The shoe itself has rounded toes with a double layered pink and dark pink bow on the front of each toe, The bow's are a kind of plastic feeling material. On each side of each shoe is two holes with light pink stitching through them, this is on both sides of the shoe on both shoes, this is the same material as the bow's.
Purchasing and Wearing Eyeballs and Tentacles
When you buy these gorgeous heels they arrive in the traditional iron fist box, bright pink with zebra's printed all over it along with the brand name, inside the shoes are carefully and neatly wrapped in iron fist printed tissue paper making these look lovely in the box. Taking these out the box they look slightly patent in certain lights which is nice. Sliding these on for the first time the inner solo is very soft and spongy probably to keep you feeling comfortable in these but sliding my foot inside I noticed a lot of room in the toe area, my feet didn't slip around or move around but I felt like I had room to breath without being uncomfortably squashed like some iron fist shoes. These fit normal width feet but they was a few millimeters loose on each side of my feet but not enough so they will come loose and slip on and off.
The heels on these are only 3.5 inches which is one of the main reason I bought these, I am really small with big feet, I'm 5ft 2 with size 6 feet which doesn't sound bad but it does look bizarre So I wanted to give myself a little bit of height and because my feet are angled they look more dainty. I got these for general usage really and not for nights out as I'm still too small wearing these next to all my friends, but I used to wear these to college for the fashion show and photography when doing photo shoots.
Putting these on you must make sure your careful what your wearing because of the colours are pink and blue and very busy, so you want this to be the main part of your outfit anytime you wear these because they are very eye catching shoes, I used to wear these with black tight skinny jeans and a black top with a belt, and wearing them any other time I try to wear with darker colours such as dark blue, navey's, blacks or greys, Because this draws attention to the shoes, also I am very pale and find it hard to wear bright colours so my clothes are usually dark anyway which is why I always have bright hair, accessories or shoes.
With the heels only being 3.5 inches it makes it easy to wear these for a long period of time without them hurting your feet, the did ache at first because they were my first heels that I wore for any lengthy time but I soon got used to these, the bottom of these is smooth except for a few lines on the bottom near the toe end but these wont help you grip, so when I went into the town center where it is all tiles and slightly on a ramp at the entrance sometimes I slipped a little which was funny, especially if it had been raining a bit and the bottoms were wet. The heels on these wear down at a ridiculous rate and I found every roughly 5 times I wore these I would have to get them re heeled.
Conclusions, Price and Availability
Overall I love these shoes, I always like to look nice I don't have anything specific for a night out, as it's great that these heels are small so I can wear them casually and still look great. I never used to be very feminine, after shaving all my hair off wearing baggy jeans and trying to hide my body for no reason, I've started to come out of my shell a bit more now and I dress properly and it's nice to look at my feet and see how lovely they look (even if they are massive!) The downsides to these are they are very bright which some people might not like and it can be hard to wear the right colours with these but it's easy for me because I wear darker clothes, the other downside is having to get these re heeled pretty often. You can buy these from any alternative shop or type them in in Google and a lot of websites will come up which stock these, they come in women's sizes 3-9 and have been reduced on some websites from£49.99 to £39.99
I am a total lover of shoes, and I have a huge collection of them, that just seems to keep on growing and growing. One of the most recent additions to my giant footwear collections is my 12th pair of Iron Fist shoes.
Iron Fist is a shoe and clothing designer that make an alternative style of clothing, and it is a company that I love. The latest pair of shoes that I own from them is their Eyeballs and Tentacles pattern. This is pretty much what it sounds like, the shoes have a pattern of eyeballs and tentacles all over them .
These are a heeled pair of shoes, but not as high as some of the other Iron Fist shoes I own. These ones are 3 inches high, and there is a cute little bow on the toe area of each shoe, which I think adds a certain cuteness to the shoe.
These shoes have a classic shape to them, and the heel is thin, but has a thick, sturdy base and I actually find these quite easy to walk in. The sides have a thick top, so they do not rub or annoy the delicate skin on the sides of the feet, and there is a thick padding on the inside of the shoes, so your feet will be comfortable when walking. I found it feels almost like a second inner sole has been placed in the shoe!!
You can see how well these shoes have been made, and the Iron Fist name has become known for well made goods. You can see the workmanship that has gone into these shoes, and the planning of them seems to be very good, as they fit my feet so well, there is no rubbing or slipping, almost like a dream shoe.
I have worn these for hours on end, walking for miles and I have never found there to be a problem. They are comfortable and even work well for a night out dancing with my friends. I have worn them with socks and without, and never found either to be different, they still feel great on my feet.
Iron Fist shoes are expensive, but I have found them to be of great quality, stylish, comfortable and very long wearing, so personally I think that they are plenty good value for money and this is part of the reason as to why I keep on buying more and more shoes from Iron Fist.
If you are a girl who likes her shoes to be cool and quirky, yet comfortable and supportive, then these are the shoes for you. You can buy them in Schuh stores around the country as well as on the Schuch website. I paid £54.99 for my pair, and I think that this is a great price for a wonderful pair of shoes.
I give these shoes a 5 out of 5 stars, as I can not fault them at all, and I recommend them. | <urn:uuid:90f5301a-9912-40d8-8949-a73c42cc2fb1> | CC-MAIN-2016-30 | http://www.dooyoo.co.uk/shoes/iron-fist-eyeballs-and-tentacle-heels/ | 2016-07-30T13:12:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-30/segments/1469257836399.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20160723071036-00187-ip-10-185-27-174.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.982423 | 1,605 |

China has been accused of allegedly detaining up to one million Uighur Muslims in its Xinjiang region under what UN experts have called the “pretext of countering terrorism and religious extremism”.
Over the past decade, human rights groups have documented widespread repression of this Turkic ethnic minority, from banning religious customs, to forcing many Uighurs to change their names and attend Communist party rallies.
Beijing, however, denies allegations of mass detentions and discrimination. It says the strict security measures in Xinjiang are aimed at “preserving stability” and preventing deadly attacks.
For Nury Turkel, chairman of the Uyghur Human Rights Project, China’s actions are very questionable.
“Locking up a few million people in concentration camps under the claim of achieving social stability and national security … doesn’t make any sense,” said Turkel.
However, Victor Gao, vice president of the Center for China and Globalization, said Xinjiang is being threatened by “terrorism and extremism and separatism”.
“I think the authorities have the right to make sure that the innocent people are not harmed, and that extreme [versions] of religion of all kinds [are] not penetrating through the population.”

m:lab By John Kieti / May 6, 2012
Using mobile tech to overcome post harvest challenges in horticulture – Wireless Wednesday Recap
On Wednesday 25th April 2012, m:lab East Africa hosted the second Wireless Wednesday meetup in a series aimed at promoting the use of mobile technology in agriculture. The theme of the meetup was “using technology to overcome post harvest challenges in horticulture”.
Mobile developers, entrepreneurs and other enthusiasts of mobile technology use in agriculture engaged agricultural domain experts from the grassroots in a lively discussion. Three farmers growing fruits and vegetables in the South Eastern part of Kenya contributed their thoughts and insights especially on the post harvest challenges that farmers are often faced with. A community based food processor – Chuluni Growers and Processors from Kitui County enriched the debate by sharing insights on challenges facing processors and other stakeholders in the post harvest stage of the agricultural value chain. A representative from KIVA also shared information on credit financing opportunities the non-profit organization presents to farmers and other entrepreneurs.
A summary of key observations made during the meetup is as follows :-
1. Awareness and uptake of mobile tools for agriculture
Most farmers are unaware of the existence of market transparency and productivity tools using mobile technology such as Mfarm, iCow, FarmPal and Mkulima Calc. Awareness creation, and driving uptake of these tools continue to be a priority for mobile entrepreneurs, farmers and other stakeholders.
In the two agriculture focussed meetups held so far in the year, younger farmers were quick to single out mobile technology as the way out for delivering information services to farmers. An opportunity was noted therefore to target the emerging class of younger farmers to drive initial uptake of mobile solutions for agriculture.
It was observed that uptake of mobile solutions for agriculture is not necessarily impeded by illiteracy or cost of devices and services. As with the case of M-PESA, adoption of mobile technologies in agriculture was noted to be driven by farmers’ demand to access information services on mobile devices. Participants noted that adoption of technology by farmers could be accelerated through awareness creation and capacity building among farmers by community workers.
2. Technologically organized groups of farmers and agro-processors
As the discussion of challenges faced by farmers and agro-processors went on, it was increasingly apparent they struggle to organise themselves into groups. For instance a tomato farmer in the meetup wished they could be linked up with other tomato farmers to make tomato paste when prices are low. Grouping of farmers was seen to be useful in facilitating collective produce storage, transportation and bargaining with buyers. Benefits of groups among farmers were also seen to revolve around knowledge sharing and access to information.
Community based agro-processors also experienced challenges managing their membership. These challenges affect access to produce for processing and contributions from members. Further this threatens the existence and sustainability of such community based organizations.
Where players in the agricultural value chain succeed to form groups based on geographical proximity and special interests, the groups often experience challenges such as difficulties in communication, governance and access to information for the groups. Participants noted that creation and optimal running of stakeholder groupings can be facilitated through through mobile technology solutions. Mobile developers and entrepreneurs were challenged to create mobile platforms for farmers and other players in agriculture addressing the above needs.
3. Agro-processor Financing Challenges
Challenges noted among community based agro-processors included accessing capital for acquiring refrigeration and modern food processing facilities. This was noted to relate to access to information on opportunities such as grants, debt and equity financing. Such information could be publicly available but is not easily accessible to community groups operating away from capital cities and major towns. An opportunity therefore existed for mobile solutions to facilitate dissemination of such information on raising funds for capital investment and expansion among community based agro-processing organizations.
4. Middlemen and their contribution to the value chain
The topic of middle-men continued to elicit varied reactions among participants. The matter was highlighted in a previous Wireless Wednesday event. Many participants in the meetup continued to consider middlemen as being exploitative of farmers. Some participants also noted the middleman’s action of aggregating produce and providing transportation to markets as being facilitative to the agricultural ecosystem.
The next wireless wednesday meetup on using mobile technology for agriculture is scheduled for 27th June 2012. The theme and further details for the event will be announced through the Pivot East and iHub blogs.
In East Africa, mobile developers and entrepreneurs have in the recent past attempted to introduce new innovations intended to inject efficiencies in the agricultural value chain. It is in an effort to amplify these attempts and their potential impact that m:lab East Africa has got support from USAID to organize a series of “Wireless Wednesday” meetups throughout the year. The focus group discussions are aimed at facilitating knowledge sharing between developers and subject matter experts in agriculture. Wireless Wednesday meetups are also opportunities for networking among mobile developers, entrepreneurs, domain practitioners and development partners. The expected outcome of these events in increased development and uptake of mobile innovations to improve productivity and livelihoods in the agricultural sector. Results of this are already being seen as is described in this Business Daily Article.

Irish Farms and Fishing
“Put an end to farming monopolies & EU theft of fisheries”
The Goodman Monopoly among others aided by corrupt establishment politicians have made Irish farmers price takers instead of price makers.
This combined with the theft of our fisheries by EU bureaucrats has crippled our country. We need to smash the establishment monopolies and take back our fishing industry. We need economic nationalism in Ireland. | <urn:uuid:d31e664b-1d93-42b5-b7dc-b711decbb7f3> | CC-MAIN-2022-49 | https://www.irishpatriots.com/irish_farms_and_fishing | 2022-11-28T07:54:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-49/segments/1669446710488.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20221128070816-20221128100816-00332.warc.gz | en | 0.924321 | 84 |
Talk me into reloading
Hey guys; I'm looking to get into reloading 9mm luger, 20 gauge (for birdshot) and .223's.
I'm looking to fire around 500 rounds of 9mm each month, 200 rounds of 20 gauge, and another 200-300 rounds of .223.
How much $ in equipment is going to be needed to start from scratch?
What kind of cost per round can I expect out of each?

North Sea industry 'on brink of collapse' as oil price plunges: Thousands of jobs at risk, wages cut and fields becoming uneconomic after cost of a barrel halves in six months
- Executives have warned that the North Sea oil industry is close to collapse
- This has been caused by the fast and dramatic fall in the price of oil
- Government advisor has said that around 10 per cent of jobs may be lost
- UK oil and gas sector are estimated to provide more than 450,000 jobs
The North Sea oil industry is close to collapse due to the plunging price of crude, executives warned yesterday.
Producers say thousands of jobs are at risk, wages are being cut and fields are becoming uneconomic after the price of Brent crude – the benchmark for oil purchases worldwide – almost halved in six months.
With further falls expected, Robin Allan, chairman of the independent explorers' association Brindex, said the North Sea industry was being pushed to the brink of collapse.

The North Sea oil industry is close to collapse due to the plunging price of crude, executives have said
'It's almost impossible to make money at these prices – it's a huge crisis,' said Mr Allan, who is also an executive at North Sea firm Premier Oil.
'The industry adapts, but the adaptation is one of slashing people, slashing projects and reducing costs wherever possible, and that's painful for our staff, painful for companies and painful for the country.'
Dr Alix Thom, of trade association Oil & Gas UK, warned: 'The fast and dramatic fall in the oil price has exacerbated the issues facing the sector.
'The industry already faced rising operating costs, very little new exploration and a lack of new investment. There are already a large number of fields that are no longer economic due to the current price.'
The UK oil and gas sector and its associated industries are estimated to provide more than 450,000 jobs. North Sea oil and gas tycoon and government advisor Sir Ian Wood said around 10 per cent may be lost.
BP and Shell plus oil services firms Petrofac and Wood Group are all cutting rates for North Sea contractors, with Wood also freezing the pay of its 4,000-strong UK workforce.
Experts say the price fall is costing the industry – largely based in Scotland – billions
US giant ConocoPhillips is cutting 230 out of 1,650 jobs in the UK, and oil services firm Schlumberger has cut back its UK-based fleet of survey ships.
A Shell spokesman said: 'The industry has been tackling escalating costs associated with North Sea operations for some time. The current market volatility has made the need to strip costs out of the system more urgent.'
Brent crude hit a low of $58.50 on Tuesday, compared with a June high of $112. The decline has been caused by a rapid growth of US shale output and a refusal by Opec – the powerful Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries – to reduce production. It has made clear it is willing to push prices as low as $40 a barrel.
Experts say the price fall is costing the industry – largely based in Scotland – billions. It also undermines nationalists' claims that an independent Scotland can rely on its oil and gas resources.
- Treasury Chief Secretary Danny Alexander yesterday accused airlines of being too slow to pass on the benefits of falling fuel costs to passengers. He praised Virgin Atlantic for making a £10 cut in the fuel surcharge on long-haul flights and urged all major British airlines to follow suit as quickly as possible.

Federal Judge Sentences Birmingham Bank Robber to Nearly 12 Years in Prison
BIRMINGHAM – Chief U.S. District Judge Sharon Lovelace Blackburn today sentenced a Birmingham man to 11 years and nine months in prison for a 2011 armed bank robbery in eastern Birmingham, U.S. Attorney Joyce White Vance and FBI Acting Special Agent in Charge Robert E. Haley III announced.
The judge sentenced DONALD JAMES BINNS, 26, to 141 months in prison for the Nov. 9, 2011, armed robbery of the Compass Bank at 9208 Parkway East, and for weapons charges associated with the robbery. Binns pleaded guilty in May to the armed bank robbery, and to using a firearm during the robbery and being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm.
According to court records, Binns robbed the bank of about $4,414 after brandishing a gun at the teller window and demanding money. He fled in a Cadillac Deville, which Birmingham police pursued and shortly thereafter arrested Binns. Police recovered the stolen money and a Bryco .380 caliber pistol from the car.
The FBI, federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Birmingham Police Department investigated the case, which Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph P. Montminy prosecuted.

Forward to Reality is the title of the third release from former Irish entrant and multi talented musician Mickey Harte. Released today on his own Swerve Music Ltd. label, Eurovisionary has had the privilege to be given a sneak peek at what’s in store for his fans.
The much anticipated follow up to his commercially successful second album Live and Learn is a more contemplative affair than his previous material, much more stripped, with a pronounced confidence yet at the same time managing to sound extremely vulnerable in places. Some musicians have their voice as their trademark, others rely more on their guitar skills – Mickey Harte possesses both, as he demonstrates on Forward to Reality.
The opening track Not Wasting Another Day gets the album off to a rousing start, with a rootsy, gritty, country tinged number showing Harte in fine voice. Uplifting and with a scarves-waving-in-the-air chorus, this is a cracking start to Forward to Reality. A song of defiance and determination, the lyrics have a theme that we can all relate to; the desire and decision to make something of our lives. With Time as the follow on track, we’re taken to an altogether darker place; the similarly honest sound continues, stripped bare of effects and bells and whistles as Harte sings of using time to help win somebody over. A nice touch with the horns and the almost chanting backing towards the end complement the song very nicely indeed.
Bordertown is another song featuring a message of determination and belonging; growing up in a particular place that keeps a hold on you and not being able to escape. The guitar chords lend it an almost lullaby like quality, and Harte gives an extremely emotional vocal performance here. Alternation between high and low notes adds for great effect, helping to build the atmosphere towards the end of the song. On the next track, Practical, we sense an altogether lighter air; this despite being a love song where Harte asks not to be led up the garden path. Steel strings and a thumping railroad backing gel perfectly with the country feel and Harte’s vocals complete the overall organic sound.
Tragic is, as the title entails, a song about relationships souring. With a simple hook and chord progression it’s a very economical song which wastes no time in drawing in the listener and steadily builds to it’s climax. On I Like The Way You Think, there is a distinctly more bluesy feel, with very little backing to accompany Harte’s seductive, naked vocals which at times range from a snarl to almost whispers, making this a very sensual track offering a more intricate and challenging melody. Definitely one of my favourites on the album.
Living In Our Town has a very rich guitar intro, with the chord progressions building a layered sound, and a folksy touch. The song deals with a very controversial topic – the mass influx of migrant workers to an already economically shaken Ireland and the prejudice that comes with it. An unusual subject matter, but the subtelty and almost storyteller way of dealing with the theme makes it work funnily enough. Tears is the next track up, filled with longing and lament; not as instant as previous tracks heard, but that is by no means a bad thing. A broodingly melancholic, atmospheric number that adds depth and variation to the album.
Unstoppable Train is a swirling, solemn affair which sees Harte touch upon even more personal subject matter, as he sings of finding his feet again and giving anything to wash away the pain. An altogether darker sound to this track will probably mean that this is not everyone’s cup of tea, but for me was another highlight on the album, with a haunting finish. Fix It quickens up the tempo of the album once more, a stark contrast to the previous number. A much more rhythmic track, Fix It goes hand in hand with Harte’s husky vocals and meanders nicely from start to finish, dealing with the challenge of mending problems that arise in a relationship. The next track, Man’s Allowed to Dream, sees Harte in a quieter, more pensive mode with a delicate melody over lyrics about being in love; a gentle, well crafted piece in the singer-songwriter tradition with Harte’s vocals once again shining through and this is undoubtedly one of the tracks with a more obvious, more instant appeal.
Survive is the album’s penultimate track, with a coarser vocal lamenting of never quite being enough to satisfy someone and trying to get along and make things work. A persuasive performance which engages the listener with its subject matter, a bittersweet song which gives much afterthought. Forward to Reality draws to a close with the final song, Broken Love. A subdued, wistful track, Broken Love brings Harte’s third album to an befitting, emotional climax. Lyrics that once again deal with complicated matters of the heart and vocals filled with yearning, coupled with some stunning backing vocals make this, for me, one of the most touching and revalatory songs on the album.
There we have it. Thirteen tracks on Harte’s third album which make for an intriguing listening experience. Their honesty and straightforwardness may not appeal to everyone, but the quality of this album makes it evident as to exactly why Harte has emerged as one of the leading singer-songwriters in Ireland today. An almost alarming ability to lay himself bare, Harte manages to create an intimacy seldom heard and that is one of its main draws; he engages his audience on what is an extremely private, cathartic album. If you want an album that is blissfully free of gimmickery, where quality music gives layer upon layer of listening pleasure, then this album comes highly recommended and well worh the investment.

1. Not Wasting Another Day

Uragen USA Made Uric Acid Support Vegetarian Capsules (60 count) - Promotes Healthy Uric Acid Levels & Supports Healthy Kidney FunctionHelps reduce gout pain and swelling - Helps prevent gout attacksNatural Fast Acting Formula - Made In The USA in a GMP Certified FacilityIt’s normal for everyone to have at least some uric acid in their bodies. Too much of it can put people at risk for gout.As cells die, they release substances called purines, which are also found in some foods. Purines break down and are eliminated as uric acid. Uric acid typically dissolves in the blood and then passes through the kidneys, where it is eventually eliminated through urine. If there is more uric acid than the kidneys can get rid of, a condition called hyperuricemia – or high uric acid in the blood – develops. This can lead to the development of crystals in the joints and other tissues. When these crystals accumulate, they can cause a painful attack of gout.Not everyone with hyperuricemia will get gout – but once it develops, it is likely to return, unless treated Uric Acid Cleanse Flush - UraGen Promotes Healthy Uric Acid Levels & Supports Healthy Kidney FunctionHelps reduce gout pain and swelling - Helps prevent gout attacksNatural Fast Acting Formula - Made In The USA in a GMP Certified Facility

The Ministry of Health has drafted amendments to the regulations on the marketing and sale of infants and child foods.
Currently, the country uses the 1997 regulations on the marketing of infants and young child foods adopted from the 1981 International Code of Marketing of Breast Milk Substitutes policy of the World Health Organizations.
The regulations advocate and promote breastfeeding as a way to improve the health and nutrition of infants. While Uganda’s regulations have been around for the last 23 years, nutritionists say the policies have never been fully implemented.
Now, Health Ministry officials want to revise the regulations to address the prevailing situation in the country. The proposed revisions are aimed at creating enforcement committees and introduce stricter penalties for offenders.
The regulations will address marketing practices and distribution of the products. They also advocate for the establishment of infant and young child nutrition committees. They also seek to provide for the duties of manufacturers and distributors.
Samalie Namukose, the Assistant Commissioner for Nutrition in the Health Ministry, says that the available regulations are weak and obsolete. She says that with the influx of breast milk substitutes, there is need for a tougher law to dissuade manufacturers and distributors from dumping their products on the Ugandan market.
The 1997 regulations advocate for breast milk as the best food for infants between zero to one year of age. The regulations call for mothers to breastfeed their children exclusively for the first six months before introducing other supplements.
As per the 1997 regulations, persons who contravene it are liable to a monetary fine not exceeding 3,000 Shillings or two months imprisonment or both. In the proposed amendments, persons who do not follow the regulations might face longer imprisonment periods or even have their merchandise confiscated.
A 2018 and 2020 report published by the Ugandan office of the International Baby Food Action Network shows that due to weak laws, many local and international manufacturers do not adhere to the regulations.
For instance, the 2020 status report released on Wednesday last week by the organization showed that only 6 percent of all milk substitutes sold on the market follow the labelling guidelines.
The report shows that contrary to the regulations, 50 percent of the labels on infant formula and specialized milk suggest the use of a feeding bottle or cup with spout while 31 percent did not include the age for, which the product was targeting.
In addition to this, 42 percent of the labels had a picture drawing or a cartoon of a baby, an infant, young child or a young animal or teddy bear.
The report also showed that some companies still directly sell products to customers at reduced prices as a way of convincing them to use their products as a substitute for breast milk contrary to the regulations that forbid this.
Dr Joseph Okware, the Director of Health Services in the Ministry of Health, says the proposed revision will result in the full implementation of the policy fully.
“We have had good laws but they have not been implemented. We did not have an enforcement committee. The revisions that have been made are going to help us improve breastfeeding in the country so that all infants enjoy all the benefits of breast milk,” he said.
The revised amendments are before the Justice and Constitutional Affairs for reconciliation and gazetting. | <urn:uuid:836b214d-6977-4d2b-b117-7f068cbb9ba2> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://hejnu.ug/uganda-amends-archaic-regulations-on-sale-of-baby-foods/ | 2024-02-26T17:56:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474661.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20240226162136-20240226192136-00378.warc.gz | en | 0.955938 | 648 |

Dear President Obama: Fire somebody and show that you are in charge
By any executive 101 standard, President Obama is failing and failing big:
1) Hold your subordinates responsible; and,
2) Make adjustments.
Speaking of accountability, let's start with Secretary Sebelius. Why does this lady still have a job, especially after her hilarious appearance with John Stewart?
Let's look at Secretary Sebelius's performance, as Tom Bevan posted:
"Sebelius' department had 3½ years to prepare to implement the Affordable Care Act. No one ever suggested that commandeering one-sixth of the American economy would be an easy task. (Many Republicans suggested the opposite and were dismissed as killjoys for their efforts.) But after the debacle of the last two weeks, liberals and Democrats-not conservatives or Republicans-should be calling for Sebelius's head."
Life is not fair and it's not all Secretary Sebelius' fault. However, she is charge! It's her department.
This is Fast & Furious all over again. The second point is executive skills, or the ability to look at something and make adjustments.
Why doesn't President Obama go on TV and make a statement along the following lines: "My fellow Americans. ObamaCare is a mess and it may take a lot more time to fix it. Nobody knows. Therefore, let's give the experts a chance to fix the "glitches" and delay the implementation for one year."
President Obama will gain in two ways:
1) He will show the country that he's charge; and,
2) He will help red state Democrats who are drowning with ObamaCare.

I’m alone. There’s no family, friends, money, food (unlike what the title implies, no turkey either).
I’ve come to accept this around the holidays; that’s the way it’s been for a long time for me.
But things are better than they were at this time last year; long time readers of this blog are aware of that. Last year at this point, I had just left a terrible situation was about to spend the winter on a sofa with rabbits lurking about. Better than freezing to death! And now, today, I’m in front of my fireplace with a cup of tea!
I just had a sort of strategic setback, but my health is slowly improving with the help of PT. Just last week, the last batch of my CDs have returned; now I need to arrange to get their wooden storage cases back.
I know I haven’t posted here enough lately and I’ll try to fix that going forward. | <urn:uuid:05287cd3-6889-4a7f-938d-5ce286eee46c> | CC-MAIN-2017-09 | https://amba12.wordpress.com/tag/thanksgiving/ | 2017-02-21T07:59:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-09/segments/1487501170696.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20170219104610-00178-ip-10-171-10-108.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.967563 | 211 |
LODI, CA -- McDonald's employees at a California franchise sprang into action when a woman told them she was in danger on Christmas Eve.
San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office deputies said the woman was there with a man who had threatened to kill her. Employees said she walked into the restaurant and asked them to hide her.
"I think it was just one of those kind of flight or fight type of things," Golden State Restaurant Group representative Regina Camera said. "They just took over and didn't hesitate."
All McDonald's restaurants in San Joaquin County were designated safe spaces where victims of abuse can get immediate help, according to The Record.
Andrea Lopez, a spokesperson for the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office, said the woman gave the employees a license plate number, and the employees told her to go into the restroom. When she came out, according to deputies, she tried to order at the counter, but a man later identified as Eduardo Valenzuela walked in and demanded she go outside and order at the drive-thru.
When the woman pulled up to the window, Lopez said the employees saw her mouth the words "help me."
"Our manager actually had our employees hold up the drive-thru line so that we were able to stop that car from moving forward," Camera said.
When deputies showed up, they ordered Valenzuela out of the car and found a loaded stolen gun inside the vehicle.
Camera said she is proud of the employees for taking their emergency training seriously.
"It was such an exciting and proud moment for us to know that what we're doing is working and that our employees are comfortable handling things like that," she said.
Valenzuela was arrested and charged with making criminal threats, possessing stolen property, and being a convicted felon with a firearm. | <urn:uuid:fd51b81d-b861-44ed-a039-a31e4b85b4ad> | CC-MAIN-2023-14 | https://abc7news.com/mcdonalds-safe-place-san-joaquin-county-lodi/5791956/ | 2023-03-26T20:58:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-14/segments/1679296946535.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20230326204136-20230326234136-00644.warc.gz | en | 0.984543 | 375 |

RNCM and Chethem's Join the Catholic Church, BBC, and Penn State
Reports in Great Britain make it quite clear that more than a decade ago, the Royal Northern College of Music hired a string teacher with a known history of sexually harassing, abusing, or assaulting his female students. Even though one of its professors challenged the head of the college, even though he went to the school's board of directors-equivalent. Even though they received letters from people outside the college who knew the instructor's reputation.
Chethem's music school also hired and kept a couple of teachers with similar histories. One was just convicted of criminal acts - and one of the women he'd abused as a child committed suicide after giving testimony against him.

It used to be considered dangerous to attempt to open computer cases in your own home. However now days people ignore this idea and take the risk by repairing their own computers. If you must open your computer case, then there are some common precautions to adhere to. Different computer cases open in different ways. For example a desktop computer case may have two clips or buttons on either side, and when pressed, the case slides off. A tower computer case may need to have screws removed at the back to enable the sides to slide off. Cases are now being designed with easy access as a top priority.
Why would people want to open computer cases?
- The most common reason to open computer cases is to upgrade computer memory that is located inside the computer case.
- They need to remove dust from their computer as part of their computer maintenance.
How to open a computer case safely
There was always the idea that you needed an antistatic strap before opening a computer case. This is undoubtedly is the safest way to open computer cases, however there are other options. If you do have an antistatic strap I do recommend that you use it, however do not panic if you do not have one. Here is a picture of one of my computers and I have opened the computer case. All I had to do was remove a couple of screws from the back and slide the side of the case backwards, away from the front. These are the best computer cases to open as they are very obvious and easy. Some computer cases I have tried to open have been an absolute nightmare. I could not believe how some computer case manufacturers made it so difficult to open their computer cases. You needed to be a magician to get inside.
Here are a few tips from a self confessed, no frills, computer techie.
How To Open Computer Cases Safely with the correct tools
- Remove all power cords that are connected to the computer case.
- This includes network cables, modems, printers, everything…Wait a few seconds as the power leaves the main board.
- Make sure your hands are clean and definitely DRY. Remove all jewelry.
- Open your computer case by unscrewing or unclipping. See your computer manual for instructions if you have problems. Older computers can be difficult to open. Keep any screws or spare parts in a safe place.
- To protect your computer from static electricity stored on your body, (ESD) continually touch the unpainted metal part of the computer case to discharge any static. Or if you have a antistatic or grounding strap, use that. This will prevent the static sensitive components from being ruined. (memory, video card, motherboard)
- Ok. Now you are ready to work on the insides of your computer.
How to open computer cases – different brands
Different brands of computers or cases open in a completely different way. Here are some examples for you. Please be careful when opening a computer case as sometimes there can be sharp bits. Always take your time and stop and think before you do anything.
- To open a dell desktop GX260, or GX270 there are two buttons to press in and then lift the case open like a hinged door. If you have a tower case it is the same and you have to press the two buttons and then swing the door open in standing position.
- To open a HP D510 tower desktop you need to unscrew the tiny knobs at the back, then slide back the the two sides and top together.
- To open a HP D510 small form desktop there are two buttons, one on either side of the case. Press them both in and slide the top, sides and front off in one piece. You slide it off towards the front.
- To open a HP D530 small form desktop you can undo the thumbscrew at the back of the case. The top plate of the computer will slide toward the back of the computer. When sliding the top back on it sometimes knocks off the face plate.
- To open a Dell Dimension 8200 Desktop Computer it is best to lay the computer on its face. This means to put the CD drives and the front of the computer on the bench. You will see a button to press and the side of the computer hinge down like a door.
- To open a generic computer case, usually a plain desktop case, there will be screws at the back. They might be Phillips head screws or possibly thumb screws.
Open computer cases with screws
Open Computer cases with screws you need to make sure you are taking the right screws out. If you look at the picture below the arrows are pointing to the screws that are holding the sides of the computer case on. On the metal part there are also screws but they are holding the computer components in. For example I have circled a screw in the picture below that holds the power supply into the computer. The screws with the Arrow is pointing to them are the ones that you need to remove.
Before you start removing screws, take a good look at the computer. In the picture below you can see where all the plugs go into the back of the computer with all the coloured port’s. This means that the motherboard is lying on that side of the computer. Therefore to access the inside the computer you will want to open the opposite side.If you open the side where the motherboard is laying on, you will be faced with the back of the flat motherboard and no way to work on the computer. Therefore in the picture below I would remove the side on the right. After removing the screws, the side will simply slide back toward me.
Video showing you how to open computer cases – Different cases require different steps.
Here is a video on how to open computer cases as there are so many different types available. If you have the generic kind which is pictured above then you have an easy job.
Now you know how to open computer cases safely, you should also read How to clean the inside of your computer safely. | <urn:uuid:835aa6aa-ac5b-42db-85df-4d154c65a709> | CC-MAIN-2015-35 | http://tips4pc.com/computer-maintenance-help/how_to_open_a_computer_case_safe.htm | 2015-08-30T19:57:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-35/segments/1440644065341.3/warc/CC-MAIN-20150827025425-00081-ip-10-171-96-226.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.951676 | 1,232 |
Up To 75% Off @ Cath Kidston Outlet
The Cath Kidston Winter Sale is long gone now, but the good news is that what is left from the sale has been moved to the Outlet section of the website, and lots of it has been reduced even more. Discounts of up to 75% makes this quite difficult to resist... someone hide my (CK) purse now! ;)
There are not hundreds of items to choose from, but what's there has some pretty hefty savings. There are bags, clothing, baby gifts and home accessories, so it's definitely worth taking a peek.
There are some lovely bits that would make super Mothers' Day gifts, either for your own Mum or maybe drop a hint for your own gift with whoever is in charge of buying it.
This Big Spot Quilted Make-Up Bag* is donw to just £4 from £16, and the matching Cosmetic Bag* is now £7 from £24. There's a Patchwork Leather Trimmed Tote* down to just £20 when it was originally £60, and I love the Home Farm Backpack* at £25 from £45. My favourite item is this Kingswood Rose Open Tote* at £26, and that's a huge saving from the original price of £65. If there is any way I could justify having another handbag I would be nagging hubby now to get it for my Mothers' Day gift from the kids.
Be warned that some of the items are out of stock though the site is very slow at taking them down so you won't know until you click on them. Those gorgeous purses that started at just £10 each are all out of stock, and that's such a shame as they would make wonderful gifts, but there are still some brilliant buys left.
At the moment there is free delivery when you spend £40 or more, although this used to be a £50 minimum, and if you are lucky enough to have a store nearby them click and collect is free.

Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) can be generated from patients with specific diseases by the transduction of reprogramming factors and can be useful as a cell source for cell transplantation therapy for various diseases with impaired organs. However, the low efficiency of iPSC derived from somatic cells (0.01-0.1%) is one of the major problems in the field. The phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway is thought to be important for self-renewal, proliferation, and maintenance of embryonic stem cells (ESCs), but the contribution of this pathway or its well-known negative regulator, phosphatase, and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome ten (Pten), to somatic cell reprogramming remains largely unknown. Here, we show that activation of the PI3K pathway by the Pten inhibitor, dipotassium bisperoxo(5-hydroxypyridine-2- carboxyl)oxovanadate, improves the efficiency of germline-competent iPSC derivation from mouse somatic cells. This simple method provides a new approach for efficient generation of iPSCs.

Hello! Welcome to week 2 of the Social Stamping Blog Hosts. You can see week 1 here and get some history to why this all started!
The theme for today’s projects by my stamping friends is “thank you”. I’ve lived by the mantra that there’s no point just making card, you have to be sending them to make a difference. I give away almost all of my cards – to friends, as gifts, as donations. It gives me good motivation to create more.
We are currently seeing a time where the hero status of our community has shifted. It is no longer sports stars or celebrities who are the most valued in our society, but the everyday hereos that don’t always get the acknowledgement they deserve. The healthcare staff, cleaners, child care & school educators, retail & hospitality staff, transport & couriers, Centrelink employees, farmers & so many more that we cannot function without. There are so many ‘essential’ services that keep our society functioning and it’s a nice chance to pause and say ‘thank you’ to each and every person for their contribution.
There might also be someone in your life that has made a difference to your COVID-19 experience. Perhaps they bought you some toilet paper when you were finding it hard to get to the shops, maybe they called to say hi at a time when the crisis was getting you down or is it someone who is just there for you all the time – pandemic or not.
This week, as you craft in isolation, can you create and send a card to one of these everyday heroes or a person who has made your life better? To remind them that they are noticed and valued, to give them a little boost in what is a trying time for everyone and to spread some gratitude throughout the world in a time of great stress.
You are most welcome to CASE (copy) any of the cards you see today on the blog hop. These designers are sharing their creations to inspire you and would love for their design to be part of the thank you message.
Below is the master list of participants. Click on the designers below to see their project. Some bloggers may link to the next blog, but to keep things simple, this was an optional requirement.

Exorcist was a raw speed metal act from the mid-80s, heavily inspired by Venom. It was speculated for a long time that this band was actually Virgin Steele (Noble Savage era lineup) in disguise, letting off creative steam by releasing material radically different from their other works. Another reason for the different name and disguise was the then-ongoing legal conflict with band founder Jack Starr, who had been removed from the band in favor of guitarist Edward Pursino and argued that they could no longer call themselves Virgin Steele.

GENDER-NET Plus is composed of seven work packages which are organised around two types of activities:
1) Activities related to the co-funded call and the consortium management 2) Additional activities.
Within the first set of activities, the first work package (WP1) is transverse to the other six WPs as it is dedicated to coordinating and managing the project and its consortium as a whole. This WP will also be devoted to exploring possibilities of extending the partnership and seek opportunities to pursue its work after the project’s end. This WP will run throughout the 60 months foreseen to implement this project.
Four WPs were carefully thought through to ensure an effective and efficient implementation of the co-funded call.
Preparation and launch of the co-funded call (WP2) and evaluation and selection of projects (WP3) to be funded will run during the first 12 months of GENDER-NET Plus. The selected projects will be funded for three years. Co-funded projects will be closely monitored (WP4). GENDER-NET Plus foresaw a specific WP to communicate about the co-funded joint call and disseminate key messages about the co-funded projects (WP5). Therefore, it will be running since the preparation of the joint call until GENDER-NET Plus concludes its activities. This will ensure that proper visibility is given to the funded projects and their results.
As regards the second set of activities, these comprise transnational joint actions of distinct nature (WP6) as well as communication and dissemination activities about the project and its overall results (WP7). These transnational activities will be initiated after having launched the co-funded call and will run until the end of the project. Communication and dissemination activities will run throughout the project’s 60 months. | <urn:uuid:edfc3a4d-1ac7-482f-9d8a-530391eab606> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | http://gender-net-plus.eu/about/work-packages/ | 2019-06-24T17:46:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999620.99/warc/CC-MAIN-20190624171058-20190624193058-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.959294 | 369 |
BOISE, Idaho —
This story originally appeared in the Idaho Press.
With hot temperatures forecasted and the state experiencing elevated fire danger, experts are urging recreationists to take extra caution with campfires during the long holiday weekend.
“Because of the tinder-dry conditions of Idaho’s forests and rangelands after two straight months of hot, above-normal temperatures in July and August, it should be abundantly clear to everyone that it’s imperative to be careful with your campfires over Labor Day weekend,” said Steve Stuebner, state coordinator of the Recreate Responsibly Idaho campaign, in a press release from that organization.
Statewide, wildfire danger as of Thursday morning ranged from high to extreme, the release said, noting that “all it takes is just one mistake to ignite a potentially catastrophic wildfire.”
The Moose Fire was reportedly ignited by a careless camper, the release said. However, officials from Boise National Forest have “observed an uptick in the number of campfires that had been extinguished properly and a reduction in trash left behind by campers,” the release said.
“That was certainly welcome news to hear that we’re getting improved compliance on campfire safety,” Stuebner said. “We hope that continues.”
Recreationists can learn more about fire risk at their destination by visiting the fire risk information page on the Idaho Department of Lands website, or the Bureau of Land Management’s page about fire risk on its land, as well as national forest land.

I have a question about being on-call. I work for a nursing home and share an on-call rotation with 4 other nurses. We are required to be on-call for an entire weekend, after working our 40 hours, or more (we are hourly employees-the 2 salaried management nurses are not required to take call). We use our personal phones as the contact numbers, using cell minutes if needed. We must stay sober, rested and ready to go to work at any time that a nurse either calls in for a shift or has to leave the facility for an emergency. We are also responsible to replace nursing assistants or nurses, if able, for open shifts during our “on-call” time, if needed. Needless to say, we must stay in town. We are not reimbursed for anything at this time, other than the time we actually work; meaning, the time we punch the time clock, in and out. It seems as though we should receive some other compensation. Please advise! | <urn:uuid:e908e1cb-9f6e-4ec2-97b9-0d7cb7b3d63d> | CC-MAIN-2016-07 | http://www.laborlawtalk.com/showthread.php?t=197725 | 2016-02-08T10:01:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-07/segments/1454701152987.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20160205193912-00194-ip-10-236-182-209.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.972933 | 207 |
As with farmers, we are so often told that the fishing industry is in "crisis" that that very fact becomes part of the political wallpaper – such a constant and familiar state that we no longer take any notice of it.
Thus when Booker tells us today that "Fishermen face 'worst ever crisis'" it becomes just another part of the background, ironically to become tomorrow's fish and chip wrapping paper – if EU food packaging rules still allow such use.
The fact is, though, that fishermen are facing their worst ever crisis and, while they have long suffered from the depredations of the CFP – seasoned in part with their own stupidity and venality – the proximate cause of their distress is our own government.
In the context of an EU single market, where British fishermen exploit the same seas and compete with their foreign "brethren", we have a situation where the EU commission permits member states to subsidise their fleets – an option taken up by all our main competitors with the egregious exception of the United Kingdom.
It was for that reason that a small, disconsolate rump of the industry presented itself last Tuesday at the headquarters of DEFRA, in Smith Square, London, to present fishing minister Jonathan Shaw with a message well known to him, to which he and this government are entirely indifferent.
The statistics, in themselves, are stark. Numbers of active commercial fishermen are down by 40 percent over the last 14 years and, by the end of this year, thousands more of our surviving 12,000 will be out of business. Yet, in 1973 – before we joined the Common Market - Britain had the largest fishing fleet in Europe.
Booker illustrates the level of the current crisis with an account of visitors in recent weeks who have been to many of our fishing ports, from Fraserburgh in Scotland to Newlyn in Cornwall. They have been shocked to see so many boats tied up, because their owners can no longer afford to put to sea, "hit by the double whammy of soaring fuel prices, up 320 per cent in five years, and draconian new Brussels quota rules, which mean the amount of fish they can land is below the point where it is economical to fish at all."
But, although the crisis created by the exploding price of diesel, which accounts for 60 percent of a fishing boat's costs, is one affecting all Europe's fishing industries – a bad situation is made even worse by this government's refusal to match the subsidies paid to their competitors.
Under EU rules, Spain is allowed to give £98 million to its fishermen, to enable them "to stay competitive". France, which can give £106 million and has every intention of doing so. But although Britain is permitted by Brussels to give £78 million, Mr Shaw made it clear to the fishermen on Tuesday that they cannot expect a penny. The Government, he told them, "does not have the financial resources available".
The real subtext of Mr Shaw's refusal, writes Booker, was spelled out by Commissioner Borg in Brussels, when he said that the future for "European fisheries" lay not in "false solutions" but in "restructuring, to create a smaller, more fuel-efficient fleet".
In other words, if thousands more British fishermen go to the wall, that must be part of the EU's long-term solution. Their French and Spanish competitors will be grateful that their governments do not agree with the immovable Mr Shaw. That is why, by the end of the year, a great many more of them will have survived than now seems likely in the country which, until it gave its fishing waters away to Brussels.
Therein lies an example of the nightmare we have to face. It is not so much Brussels we have to deal with as the combined effect of both Brussels and out own government – the combination proving lethal to our economic survival. And, while we can all sympathise with the plight of the fishermen, that combination is beyond the scope of the political system, as established, to redress.
Thus, we shrug our shoulders and, metaphorically, walk away. It is not that we don't care - we do. But there is nothing we can do, so we go away and indulge in political theatre. In such small ways is the loss of our democracy measured, and in such small ways do we lose the heart of our nation. | <urn:uuid:5db43ddd-aa0e-4654-80dd-27af9e8f3366> | CC-MAIN-2016-22 | http://eureferendum.blogspot.com/2008/06/worst-of-worst.html | 2016-05-27T08:23:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-22/segments/1464049276564.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20160524002116-00080-ip-10-185-217-139.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.968699 | 889 |

Natccu's voice soars over a bed of dirty guitars and tight rhythm, singing lyrics that are in turn cynical, angry, hopeful and beautiful. But no amount of hyperbole can properly explain the wonder of Natccu and her abrasive yet addictive music. You'll just have to listen for yourself. "Natccu is a Tokyo-based singer songwriter who effortlessly engages with all different styles of music, from acoustic folk, to twinkling piano and jazz-infused numbers, to sew a sonic patchwork of inner-city ideals." - NME Natccu plays a set of gutsy pop with hysteric vocal stylings that recall Kate Bush as much as anything Japanese... She delivers effortless and gorgeous grown-up music with a raunchy rock heart and beautiful doe eyes." - Drowned In Sound "Silken-voiced singer-songwriter" - The Japan Times "Natccu has an amazing voice, and a whole heap of great songs." – Breakthru Radio "It Came from Japan has just returned from its latest UK jaunt, with Tokyo singer-songwriter Natccu playing gigs across the country." – The Guardian "A very accessible and catchy style. Her vocals are incredibly powerful, and the raw emotion that shimmers through at all times may send shivers down your spine." – JaME "The kind of guitar-based melodies that resonate in your head for days." – Neo magazine // taken from the artist's official myspace page Read more on Last.fm.

- Of, concerned with, or affecting the soul: spiritual guidance; spiritual growth.
- Not concerned with material or worldly things: led a spiritual life.
- Of or belonging to a religion; sacred: spiritual practices; spiritual music.
Oh well, I guess that definition is the best they can do. These definitions are being manufactured by intellectuals, not the people who are doing their best to return to a spiritual life. You might ask, “What is not spiritual?”
Within us we each have Spirit! Are you one who is interested in awakening the Spirit within?
First, exactly who are you; who do you think you are? Check all those boxes that apply.
You are the Spirit. You are in a virtual reality playing a human game. You are the one who has a body and you are wearing the body, but you are not the body.
You are not the body, you are not your personality, you are not the mind and you’re not your thoughts.
Many religions and spiritual paths have tried to share this sacred knowledge with us. Are you a religious person or a spiritual person? I realized that when I became a spiritual person, I lost all interest in any religions. I see that religions are doing the best they can, but you will outgrow them one day if you are lucky.
You are spirit and as a spirit (or soul) you are perfect just like you are. You do not need lessons. You do not need trials and testing because God placed you here perfect in every way.
You are here because you are a necessary part of the play. Don’t ever underestimate your own value. Own up to your own value. You are here for a reason and it benefits you and God.
A word or a name (a sound) is a vibration and a tool that helps to elevate your spiritual energy or even take it down like – some thoughts and music do. A change of speech is a change of mind. Your mindset (your thought) is creating your reality. You create your future by you own inner talk to the Spirit within whether you are aware that you have a listener or not.
Negative inner or outer talking is the breeding ground for an unhappy life. All things are generated out of imagination. What if you only think and express thoughts that are a benefit to you and others? What if you started looking for what’s right about the world instead of categorizing what is wrong?
Signs of returning to the spiritual life:
- You are Lightening up about being right or not being wrong
- It is easier to release struggle, judgment and criticism of others
- You’re not being pulled and tugged so hard in other directions by what is happening in the material world
- You’re Keeping your mind and soul on something bigger than physical life
- You find out that you are being drawn to something inside of you
- You start feeling happiness for no apparent reason
- You might have frequent incidents of smiling
- A loss of interest in
- Deciphering the actions of others
- You are finding the ability to love without supposing or expecting anything in return
- Self-realization is the gift itself. You were born to realize who you are!
There is nothing outside of you that is going to come into your life to save you. You are Spirit and you’re the one who is going to step forward and save you! You, the Spirit, are the Divine Magician that is living inside of you. You, as the Spiritual you, must come out and love yourself so much that you change the body/mind…
- From sickness to wellness
- From sadness to happiness
- From anger to peace and harmony
- From poverty to wealth and abundance
- From old age to eternal youth
Anyone who is angry is fearful…. If you know that you are an aspect of God and that you are indestructible then there is not much to fear. Those who have had the “near-death” experience no longer fear death. They were shown that we all are eternal beings. When you no longer fear death, then you are not afraid of living.
“Who Are You”
Jim wrote this 5yrs ago…
http://self-improvement-ebooks.com/books/yfiyf.php. “Have you ever really thought about who you are, I mean really, really though? Up until the last 2 years I didn’t know myself that well, I don’t think I liked myself, but I did a lot of soul cleansing, tossed a lot of the rubbish out that I had accumulated over the years, things that I had done that I felt guilty about and things I had no control over, but still took the blame. Well, now I am here to say I am not that person anymore, I am a survivor and I have so much more to achieve in this lifetime. Ask yourself today “Who Am I” and “What Do I Want Out Of Life” and “What Am I Going To Do About It?” Thanks Jim
Is being spiritual the same as supernatural?
If it can be done why would it be called supernatural? Could it just be a type of natural we don’t understand yet?
It takes a little more effort to retrain your mind to look within for help than always looking without. That knight in shinning armor is not coming to save you! Jesus is not going to save you either! He went within himself and found the Christ. He wants you also to look within yourself and find the same Christ (the God within).
Start working on this mindset and you will reap the rewards that await you.
“Most of us are reflecting life and not affecting it. Your inner speech mirrors your mind, and your mind echoes God. If you do not change your thoughts, you haven’t changed their activity. And if you do not change their activity, the conditions of your life cannot change, for they are only bearing witness to the inner action of your mind.” By Neville Goddard
In Your Faith is Your Fortune, originally published in 1941, Neville Goddard presents his interpretations of key Biblical passages as the basis for conveying metaphysical principles – spiritual experiences. Each of the book’s 27 essays begins with a quote from Scripture, which Neville uses as a starting point for his revelatory teachings. By http://self-improvement-ebooks.com/books/yfiyf.php
“Man can decree a thing and it will come to pass. Man has always decreed that which has appeared in his world. He is today decreeing that which is appearing in his world and he shall continue to do so long as man is conscious of being man. Nothing has ever appeared in man’s world, but what man decreed that it should.
This you may deny; but try as you will, you cannot disprove it for this decreeing is based upon a changeless principle. Man does not command things to appear by his words, which are, more often than not, a confession of his doubts and fears. Decreeing is ever done in consciousness.” By Neville
If you think that something might be blocking you from realizing who you are and how powerful you are, you might look at Laser Reiki for some really fast unblocking.

How to Get an Accurate Diagnosis When Air Testing for Mold
Recently, during some email correspondence with a fellow mold sufferer, I was reminded of a problem that afflicts many people trying to find out answers about mold in their indoor environments: The prevalence of false “negatives” or “safe” spore count results in certain air testing methods for mold. It is a problem that I am intimately acquainted with, because my family also got an “all clear” verdict on our extremely toxic home from the first mold inspector that we hired.
In this person’s case, the mold inspection and mold testing were also performed by a professional. The inspection only consisted of the collection of spore-trap air samples that were sent off to a lab for analysis. No “problematic” molds or spore count levels were identified in any of the samples collected. Spore trap air sampling was also the testing method used in our home that didn’t indicate our very big mold problem. It is a testing method that typically compares indoor air samples to outdoor air samples. Types of molds and number of spores are analyzed by microscopy to determine whether or not a mold problem exists with the indoor air. (I think determinations made on indoor environments that are solely based on outdoor mold comparisons is faulty logic. You can read my post HERE about why.) The home was then “cleared” or declared “safe” and she and her husband put mold out of their minds and continued living there. | <urn:uuid:231523be-2c6e-4219-a07b-127e2de57c70> | CC-MAIN-2019-35 | https://moldfreeliving.com/category/personal-stories/ | 2019-08-18T22:00:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-35/segments/1566027314130.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20190818205919-20190818231919-00101.warc.gz | en | 0.972972 | 317 |

I see that my family, friends, cousins, coworkers, and church all connect by me. Family only know one of my best friend, Marissa. My family and her family know each other after we became friend. Also I am still contacting my cousins in Cambodia. Sometimes, it hard to communicate with them because lack of technology. I learned from this activity is that I am happy I am surrounding by my family, church, coworkers, and friends. There are a lot of people I can depend on. Furthermore, church relates to my family, my best friend and I came to know christ I think of the term “Social Network” as applying to my RL life and my RL, physical friends. It can be mostly to online and mobile tools that connect you to people in cyberspace. I think the Dunbar’s Number make a little sense to me that we only have around 150 truly meaningful relationships, and any others we know will be more fragmentary ways. I think what it mean to have 1,000 or 2,000 or 5,000 Facebook “friends” is that you are quite popular or you are just adding people randomly, or also it maybe you are adding famous people website. The sorts of relationships I have with them maybe can be friends from high school, can people I met a for couple of days and added each other. when I visualized my personal social network, I was amazed how much people I know from first day of class until now. I was not closed with my friend, but now I am very closed with them. I am glad to meet them in art class. I first met Darryl and Fatima in class. We were awkward towards each other, but know we are really closed. I wish I have more people I would like to have close relationships with in my life. I think I would go with 20 people. Like if you have troubled, you can relied on. I have only 1 best friends on real life than on Facebook. On Facebook I had 30 friends. My relationship those “extra friends” are also close but not close. These ties brought new me getting into a job opening. My sister’s friend get me a job. | <urn:uuid:a5427482-9c35-46f6-9b27-6766b272b883> | CC-MAIN-2017-39 | https://bunnylovepanda.wordpress.com/2016/10/30/week-10-fiber-art-social-network/ | 2017-09-21T03:16:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-39/segments/1505818687606.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20170921025857-20170921045857-00370.warc.gz | en | 0.986693 | 452 |

Music Theory: Stack 'em and Smack 'em
30 Aug 2010
Music Theory: Part III - Chords, Chord Progressions and Harmony
Hey there folks, this is the third installment of the Music Theory
lessons. In this lesson I will go over harmony, chords and chord progressions, as the title suggests. Like the previous lesson, I will use references marked with a "VL". Click on the link and a new tab will open in your browser.
This lesson should give you a good understanding of how chords are made. Chords are built off harmonies and chord progressions are just groups of chords.
Harmony is when two or more tones are played simultaneously or occur over the same time frame. Harmony is also determined by an interval. In this case, an interval refers to the distance between the two or more tones play together.
Harmony is closely related to chords, because chords are, essentially, harmonies; multiple tones played simultaneously. That's all about harmony, I'll cover more of it in the next section.
Chords are built from scale intervals and generally are defined by the first/root, third and fifth degrees in a scale. Major chords are defined by a root, major
third and fifth, while minor chords are defined by a root, minor
third and fifth.
There are several other chord types (but not limited to):
The most basic form of a chord is called a triad. Triads are so called because they consist of three distinct notes; Root, fifth and third. A major triad will have a major third
and a minor triad will have a minor third
Chords are usually distinguished by their root note. For example, the chord C Major may be described as a three-note chord of major quality built upon the note C. Chords can also be classified as inversions. There are these cool things called "power chords"
, which are also referred to as fifth chords
. Fifth chords are not really chords at all, rather just meager intervals noted as a dyad. A dyad
is a set of two notes or intervals.
In the key of C major the first degree of the scale, called the tonic, is the note C itself, so a C major chord, a triad built on the note C, may be called the one chord of that key and notated in Roman numerals as I. The same C major chord can be found in other scales: it forms chord III in the key of A minor (A-B-C) and chord IV in the key of G major (G-A-B-C).
Just as modes in a key are given names (Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian...), chords are also given names:
This is for your average major key:
Capital letters signify major triads, while lower case letters will signify minor triads. However, the seventh will usually be a diminished triad.
|Chord Name||Tonic||Super Tonic||Mediant||Sub-dominant||Dominant||Sub-Mediant||Sub-Tonic|
Inversions are fairly simple. To create an inversion, all you do is drop the tonic to the bottom of the chord. Let's take a C major triad to use as an example:
C Major Triad: C E G
1st Inversion: E G C
2nd Inversion: G C E
Seventh, Diminished and Augmented Chords
I've broken down seventh chords to make them easier to understand. Seven Chords are four note chords made from wierd scale degrees all in one octave. Seventh chords are very useful in creating awesome sounding arpeggios.
Nut 1st 3rd 5th 7th 9th 12th
Major Seven ||:(1)| | | |(3)| | |(5)| | | |(7)|
Dominant Seven (b7th) ||:(1)| | | |(3)| | |(5)| | |(7)| |
Minor Seven (b3rd and b7th) ||:(1)| | |(3)| | | |(5)| | |(7)| |
Minor Seven Flat Five (b3rd, b5th, b7th) ||:(1)| | |(3)| | |(5)| | | |(7)| |
Diminished Seven (b3rd, b5th, bb7th) ||:(1)| | |(3)| | |(5)| | |(7)| | |
Diminished and Augmented Triads
Diminished - Flat 3rd and Flat 5th
Augmented - Sharp 5th/Flat 6th
Ok, now that you know a few basics lets practice some arpeggios using what I've just shown you. For this exercise we are going to play in the key of C major.
Lets first take a look at the notes in C major: C D E F G A B
Now lets make our arpeggios:
Major Triad: C E G
Diminished Triad: C Eb Gb (Flat 3rd and Flat 5th)
Augmented Triad: C E G#/Ab (Sharp 5th/Flat 6th)
Minor 7th: C Eb G Bb (Flat 3rd and Flat 7th)
Minor 7th Flat 5: C Eb Gb Bb (Flat 3rd,Flat 5th and Flat 7th)
Diminished 7th: C Eb Gb A (Flat 3rd, Flat 5th and double Flat 7th)
Here they are:
Maj. Dim. Aug. Min. 7th Min.7 b5 Dim.7th
A suspended chord, or sus chord, is the when a note adjacent to the third is played in order to "suspend" the tonality of the third. These notes will either be the major second or perfect fourth. Therefore we have, sus2 or sus4. Let's see an example:
C Major Triad: C E G
C Sus2 : C D G
C Sus4 : C F G
As you can see in the above picture, you either count one degree backwards or one degree forwards to create sus2 and sus4 chords respectively.
A CHORD PROGRESSION is a series of chords used to define the outcome of the tonality which the composer is aiming for.
In order to build a chord progression, one must understand the concepts I outlined above in the chords section regarding the chord degrees. In any major key, there are three major triads --(The first, fourth and fifth degrees in a scale)-- These triads can be used to harmonize any note in that particular key. Just as there are three major triads, there are also three minor triads --(The second, third and sixth degrees)--. The seventh degree will be a DIMINISHED chord.
As referenced above, a I-IV-V progression will produce and major tonality. However, a ii-iii-vi progression will induce a minor tonality. A lot of rock music will use a vi-I-ii progression.
Well, that is all for this lesson. I realize it might be a little boring, so I wouldn't recommend to study the whole thing at once. Anyway, hope y'all enjoyed this latest installment. | <urn:uuid:8007bd19-e2b2-4560-ac4c-e5b04ad1deca> | CC-MAIN-2017-09 | http://all-guitar-chords.com/lesson.php?id=234 | 2017-02-27T11:14:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-09/segments/1487501172783.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20170219104612-00403-ip-10-171-10-108.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.903138 | 1,561 |
Intel’s vision is to have the healthiest workforce on the planet and make health care a strategic business and talent-acquisition advantage for the company. After a decade of applying the usual levers to improve our employees’ health and contain rising health care costs, Intel believes that it is time for employers to work more directly to transform the payment and delivery systems for health care.
In an innovative program in partnership with Presbyterian Healthcare Services (PHS), Intel has engaged directly and deeply in benefit design, plan design and delivery optimization for employees and dependents at our Rio Rancho, NM, facility. Intel and PHS have established a custom integrated delivery system model of shared risks and rewards — essentially an employer-sponsored accountable care organization based on a patient-centered medical home (PCMH) model — that aims to give Intel employees more personalized, evidence-based and coordinated care. This program, called “Connected Care,” moves beyond fee-for-service models to more effectively incent desired behaviors and results. Connected Care is a demonstration of sustainable, system-wide changes that can improve access to high-quality, efficient and affordable care.
Connected Care went live as an operational health plan and delivery system for Intel employees in New Mexico on January 1, 2013. Intel is now establishing PCMH pilots with local providers in other regions to more fully engage employees in managing their health and transforming system delivery.
The experiences of Intel and PHS show that employers and providers can be effective partners in advancing a transformation in health care. Providers can gain enthusiastic partners who share their commitment to efficient, high-quality health care delivery and will align payment incentives to achieve it.
Putting health care costs on a more sustainable footing can strengthen U.S. competitiveness in a global economy. Improvements in the health and health care experiences of employees can increase job satisfaction, loyalty and quality of life. Forward-looking health plans can support collaboration by focusing on innovation and added value. Health care solutions providers and platform providers can help by committing to interoperable data standards and rapid innovation. Intel and PHS encourage employers and delivery services to engage in hands-on collaboration focused on a more sustainable, high-quality health care system. We have much to teach each other — and American workers have much to gain. | <urn:uuid:209b21b8-8beb-497d-97d8-a113a8165db0> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | https://www.businessroundtable.org/archive/health-care-innovation/intel | 2019-05-25T00:12:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232257781.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20190524224619-20190525010619-00406.warc.gz | en | 0.945112 | 464 |

[mythtv-users] Removing Myth Components
david.whyte at gmail.com
Sun Sep 5 18:17:14 EDT 2004
Well, after reading about Myth and looking at different PVR/Media
Servers etc, I decided to take the plunge (kinda).
Last night I set myself up Mandrake 9.1 running within VMware, so I
can see what this Myth thing is all about. I want to let you know, I
have never installed a Linux OS before, and have little experience
with it (can you tell I am pretty happy with myself?).
Anyways, I used the 9.1 RPM's to install MythTV 0.12 and some of the
other components but have now gone through and compiled version 0.15
and installed it pretty successfully. After having a bitch fight with
The problem is that when I take a look at the EPG (TV >Schedule >
Program Guide) there is nothing shown, and when I use my directional
keys, MythFrontend shuts down and prints out "Segmentation Fault".
When I go to the other screen and search for my program (TV > Schedule
> Program Finder) the data is present and I can schedule recording and
I have done a little research in these mailing lists and using the
HOW-TO (a great document it is) but cannot find any help on how I can
remove the old 0.12 components (MythNews etc) to see if this is
causing the fault. Obvisouly I will be compiling and installing the
0.15 versions as soon as I can get this bloody EPG to work.
Sorry for the long post, but I am not going to let this little problem
stop me on my quest for PVR freedom!!!!
GMAIL is 'da bomb baby....YEAH

Germany and Ghana in decisive match
Johannesburg: Ghana already has one
milestone behind it and now it stands a victory away from
achieving maybe an even bigger one, sending Germany to its
earliest exit from a World Cup.
Ghana became the first African team to win a World Cup
game on African soil when it beat Serbia 1-0 in its Group D
opener. Now it can ensure that Germany exits at the group
stage for the first time ever.
Going into the decisive final round, Ghana leads the
group on four points, Germany and Serbia have three and
Australia is on one, meaning all four have a chance of
progressing and all are at risk of missing out.
A win over Ghana would see Germany through, and a draw
would be enough for the Germans if Serbia fails to beat
Both sides will be eager to improve on their previous
performances: Germany suffered a surprise 1-0 loss to Serbia,
while Ghana failed to capitalize on an early red card to the
Australians and was held to a 1-1 draw.
The Germans remained optimistic despite an unconvincing
display against Serbia. Coach Joachim Loew and captain Philipp
Lahm have both said Germany will advance "100 percent."
"We know our qualities and have no doubt that we`ll make
it," striker Cacau said Monday.
The Brazil-born Cacau is likely to start up front, as
Miroslav Klose is suspended after being sent off with two
yellow cards against Serbia.
"I can see that my teammates have the confidence that
we`ll win," Cacau said.
Central defender Arne Friedrich also exuded confidence.
"We all believe we will make it, from coach Loew down.
The loss to Serbia was a blow but we still believe we`ll go
through," Friedrich said.
"We are in the kind of situation when we have to prove
ourselves and if we get rid of mistakes we made against
Serbia, we`ll be fine. They have good forwards but if we put
pressure on them we`ll cause them to make mistakes."
Germany has been in similar situations before -- two
years ago it needed to beat host Austria in the final group
match to advance at the European Championship and it did, then
went all the way to the final.
But the winning goal against Austria came from captain
Michael Ballack, who was forced out of this World Cup by an
ankle injury, contributing to Germany having the second
youngest team in World Cup history.
Kevin-Prince Boateng, the man whose tackle in the English
F.A. Cup final took Ballack out of the World Cup, will be on
the opposite side tomorrow.
Boateng was born in Berlin and played for Germany`s
junior teams before switching allegiance to the land of his
father. His half brother Jerome is a Germany defender.
According to Jerome, the two have not had contact since
the start of the World Cup, after Kevin-Prince had complained
that the hostile reaction in Germany to his foul on Ballack
had racist elements.
"It was stupid that something like that became public ...
but I wish him the best and I will shake his hand before the
match," said Jerome, who is unlikely to start.
Ghana has a Serbian coach, Milan Rajevac, who will have
central defender and captain John Mensah back after a
hamstring injury ruled him out of the match against Australia.
Mensah`s usual central defensive partner, Isaac Vorsah,
remains in doubt.
Like Germany, Ghana is at the World Cup without its
injured regular captain, Michael Essien _ Ballack`s Chelsea
"I don`t think there is pressure on us," Mensah said.
"They will probably have more pressure because they are the
"We all know Germany has a good team, but we believe we
have a good team as well. We have to keep things tight, stay
compact and I`m sure we can win the match."
Defender Hans Adu Sarpei, who has played his entire
career in Germany and is now at Bayer Leverkusen, believes
Ghana can exploit weaknesses in Germany`s defense, although
Ghana has yet to score from open play in two games, with both
its goals coming from penalties.
"This is a big game. This situation of win or die makes
it much bigger. Myself, Kevin-Prince Boateng and the rest of
the team must be calm and go into the game with our minds and
not emotions so we don`t get red cards," Sarpei said. | <urn:uuid:ea503fa4-834d-40eb-aed6-52129cef48d7> | CC-MAIN-2018-13 | http://zeenews.india.com/sports/football/germany-and-ghana-in-decisive-match_635723.html | 2018-03-19T02:01:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-13/segments/1521257646189.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20180319003616-20180319023616-00147.warc.gz | en | 0.96819 | 1,000 |

"I can't take quiet desperation!"
The Lost Weekend. Wow. I love this movie so much, it's hard to even explain.
EDITOR'S NOTE: Although, this review, appeared to start off on the right track...it soon took a turn for the worse!
My three favorite film genres are Screwball Comedies, Musicals, and Hitchcock's-- yet this is one very-much-a-drama, that I completely adore.
I try to watch it only once or twice a year, so the crazy-amazingness of it is never lost (actually it takes me that much time to recover from the film! ;-D).
I watched it again tonight with my mum and dad; neither had seen it before. I've been trying to get my mother to see it FOREVER, but she had some idea that it was a depressing movie or something....WHATEVER GAVE HER THAT THOUGHT?! SHEESH! ;-D I had to assure her that it ended happy ("hopeful" were my exact words). My dad came down as we were starting it and proclaimed, "Oh, I love this guy!", and sat down on the couch. This perplexes me quite a bit! I have never seen/heard of my dad watching a film or TV show with Ray Milland in it. NEVER. Of course he can recount whole plots of Emergency episodes that he hasn't seen since the early 70's, so perhaps my dad was an Milland fan back then?! (Hilarious side story that is slightly relevant because of the Magnificent Mr. Milland: My mom and her friend sneaked into Love Story when it was first released, because they were too young to see it. Personally, *I* refuse to see the movie--Magnificent Mr. Milland or not!)
My goodness, I'm starting to feel like Don Birnam, himself! I started out to write a proper and well-written review with limited ALL-CAPS words and --> ;-D! The first line was looking so good and intriguing too! Sheesh! <-- I need to cut down on my use of this word as well!
Well, I really do love this movie. It is bleak, and horrible, and nearly-sickening and utterly brilliant! And every review I see of people proclaiming the crazy-amazingness of Ray Milland's performance makes me feel personally congratulated ;-D. See, the Magnificent Mr. Milland has been my absolute favorite actor (tied with a couple others), ever since I saw him in Three Smart Girls. For me, films like The Lost Weekend, Dial M For Murder, and The Major and the Minor....were just extra brilliance! I mean, HE'S GOT A WELSH ACCENT.
I normally find very little to tolerate about Jane Wyman. Even in films like Stage Fright (a brilliant and underrated Hitchcock), which I love, I find her rather annoying. But, in TLW, she is so utterly perfect! She really deserved a Supporting Actress nod for this one! Especially, when they were nominating actresses left and right for THAT Mildred Pierce! ;-D (Someone on a movie message boards, had the gall to call TLW "ridiculous" and "melodramatic" and then suggested that MP should have won Best Picture INSTEAD! I still haven't decided if they were attempting irony!)
Random awesome fact: Much of the filming was done on location in NYC! They used hidden cameras to film the Magnificent Mr. Milland walking down the street and such. But they had to take many takes, because people kept coming up to ask for his autograph. The fans were apparently unperturbed to see him stumbling barefoot down the street in Bellevue Hospital pajamas. But, hey, HE'S GOT A WELSH ACCENT.
Okay, I'm going to wrap this up now! I'm really very disappointed in myself! I had genuinely sincere reactions to the film, that I wanted to write up............................SHEESH!
1. The title quote has nothing to do with the review (at least NOT how the review turned out). I just wanted to sound cool.
2. Something happens to me now and then when I write late-night reviews! I start talking oddly and using words like: "unperturbed" (pretty sure, I'll NEVER be able to pronounce that), "perplexes", "recount", and "sincere". THIS IS NOT NORMAL!
3. Please do take note of the fact that the word "anyway"/ "anyways" is nowhere to be found in here! The Lost Weekend inspired me to conquer my own personal demon. ;-D | <urn:uuid:ffd311e0-58db-4833-83ef-4a96915484f3> | CC-MAIN-2014-42 | http://classicforever.blogspot.com/2010/06/i-cant-take-quiet-desperation.html | 2014-10-20T11:16:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-42/segments/1413507442497.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20141017005722-00131-ip-10-16-133-185.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.968822 | 993 |
It’s been a great week weather wise except that we’ve still had no rain. Not a drop. Not even at night. The plants are all hardened off now and ready to go in but when I dig into some areas of the garden it’s just like dust. There’s a bit of light rain forecast for Thursday but I don’t think it will make much difference. Enough moaning! Not a lot of time for gardening this weekend but I’m off next week (sadly the Non-Gardener isn’t) so I’ll be planting and watering like mad. Bliss!
1. I’ve sown quite a few perennials this spring so they’re not ready for planting out yet. I also kept some back to sow in the autumn to ease the pressure on the glasshouse space. I love growing annuals as well but am not very good at working out how many I need to fill the spaces. I’m sure these will all fit in somewhere. I’d like to say that this is all of them but there might be a few more tucked into other corners of the garden.
2. Talking of corners, this is a very shady corner at the back of the house. The shade comes from a large and beautiful Golden Privet (more a tree than a shrub). I removed an old and sad looking Griselinia littoralis ‘Variegata’ a while back and am very pleased with the new planting. The Fatshedera just needs to cover the fence panel.
3. An arch and trellis was replaced earlier in the year by the N-G and the new plants are slowly progressing up it. Clematis ‘Jackmanii Superba’ was left in place and I wanted another Clematis to go with it. To keep life easy I wanted the same pruning group but I also wanted one I haven’t got/grown before. Enter C. ‘Diana’s Delight’. It’s supposed to be shorter than Jackmanii but will, hopefully, put on a bit more height before flowering next year. Beautiful flowers though.
4. I’ve struggled for years to grow Delphiniums but had some reasonable success last year, mostly down to the dry conditions keeping SnS at bay I think. Bar one, they’ve reappeared this year but the first one to flower has a very short spike. I hope the others wait a bit before doing their thing. The Aquilegia, on the other hand, is a lot taller than I thought it would be! No pleasing some people.
5. So many plants have greenfly at the moment and I’ve started noticing some blackfly as well. I had no ladybirds last year so no larvae this spring. When I was taking a picture of Cirsium rivulare ‘Atropurpureum’ I was very happy to see this little ladybird I hope she has some friends with her.
6. The Alliums are opening and add such structure to the border. I’m finding that ‘Purple Sensation’ doesn’t last very long but ‘Christophii’ is bulking up well. I can’t wait for the leaves to die back.
That’s my Six for this week. I’ve made a start pulling Forget-Me-Nots out but need to make that a priority job for next week. Enjoy your garden this Bank Holiday weekend and don’t forget to look at all he other Sixes, courtesy of our host at https://thepropagatorblog,wordpress.com/7 | <urn:uuid:130933de-82fc-425c-b5cd-bc1a75927b92> | CC-MAIN-2020-45 | https://thequiltinggardener.wordpress.com/2019/05/25/six-on-saturday-25-05-19/?like_comment=1091&_wpnonce=525ecd5c48 | 2020-10-27T21:24:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-45/segments/1603107894759.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20201027195832-20201027225832-00212.warc.gz | en | 0.956047 | 788 |
Kirkland, Wash.-based Pivotal Commware says it has closed on a $50 million funding round that will help it expand research, development and distribution for its millimeter-wave 5G network infrastructure products.
Tracker Capital Management, a venture capital investment firm that’s headquartered in New York, led the Series C investment round. Other participants in the financing include Devonshire Investors and Pivotal’s existing investors — including Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates.
Gates has been investing in Pivotal since 2017, not long after it was spun out from Intellectual Ventures. It’s one of several Gates-backed ventures that make use of metamaterials, an exotic breed of electronics that can channel signals without moving parts.
Pivotal calls its metamaterials-based technology “holographic beam forming.” The technology is used primarily to support ultra-wideband 5G communications. | <urn:uuid:79f7bb60-01aa-4f43-9c6c-4aa51fc90df1> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://cosmiclog.com/tag/pivotal-commware/ | 2023-12-06T10:50:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100593.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20231206095331-20231206125331-00081.warc.gz | en | 0.938568 | 194 |

Monkey went shoe shopping with his father last night and DH had an awesome story for me when they arrived home. The store DH took Monkey to has a recycle bin for old sneakers. DH told Monkey now that he’s found his new shoes, he can put his old ones into the bin. So DH went along the aisle next to the bin which also happened to be the aisle for little girl shoes so he started looking for Princess.
After a little while, DH looks over at Monkey who is still standing by the sneaker recycle bin with his old shoes in hand. DH walked over and asked, “What’s wrong, buddy?” Monkey replied, “I don’t want to put them in.” DH asked, “Why?”, shocked that Monkey actually looked a little sad. Then with tears starting to come to his eyes, Monkey said, “Because I have so many memories with these.”
He’s SEVEN. Never expected him to have sentimental value over anything especially since the kid gets new presents and has forgotten about them a day later. But for some reason, those sneakers meant something to him. My sweet, sentimental son. He definitely surprises us sometimes with his words and actions. This time in a very good way.
(Of course, DH let Monkey bring the shoes home with him.) | <urn:uuid:22ddbac3-5bd6-434b-9b54-00da4f86aec9> | CC-MAIN-2015-18 | http://cirquedubebe.com/ | 2015-04-21T02:54:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-18/segments/1429246640001.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20150417045720-00202-ip-10-235-10-82.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.985272 | 283 |
Police: Trooper shoots at fleeing suspect on Route 30
A state police trooper shot a vehicle as a man struck the trooper's cruiser during a chase on Route 30 in York County early Tuesday morning, according to authorities.
Christian Dwayne Hill, 25, led troopers on a chase starting in Hellam Township and ended up ramming the driver's side of a police cruiser as a trooper was trying to get out of the cruiser near North George Street, state police said in a news release.
That trooper then fired at Hill's Jeep Cherokee, which took off on North George Street, the release states.
Hill was not struck by gunfire, according to state police spokesman Trooper James Spencer.
Hill, of the 800 block of Fahs Street in York City, is charged with aggravated assault and fleeing or attempting to elude officer, both felonies. He's also charged with simple assault, recklessly endangering another person, DUI and summary traffic offenses.
Chase: Police said two troopers tried to pull Hill over on Route 30 in Hellam Township after he was seen going 85 mph in a 55 mph zone, but he did not stop until he got to the Round-the-Clock Diner in Manchester Township.
Troopers attempted to stop him in the parking lot, but he fled, striking a vehicle before leaving the parking lot, the release states.
Police said Hill went onto Route 30 westbound, and the troopers bumped their vehicle into his, causing it to stop at Route 30 and North George Street.
The troopers were attempting to exit their vehicle when Hill rammed the cruiser's driver-side door. The door hit the trooper, prompting him to fire his weapon, hitting Hill's vehicle, according to the release.
Hill continued fleeing on North George Street but stopped because he thought he had a flat tire, court documents states.
Hill then fled on foot. Troopers arrested him at Route 30 near Susquehanna Trail, the release states. Charging documents state troopers arrested him after he tripped over a table in the backyard of a home.
Hill told them he fled because his license was suspended for previous violations and he had marijuana in his car, according to charging documents.
He admitted to smoking marijuana about two hours before the incident, police said.
Troopers found suspected marijuana in Hill's vehicle, charging documents state.
Hill was taken to York Hospital for a blood draw, police said. He was arraigned on his charges Tuesday afternoon.
He was sent to York County Prison on $35,000 bail.
The trooper who fired at Hill's vehicle has been placed on administrative leave, and the York County District Attorney's Office is working with state police to investigate the trooper-involved shooting.
Spencer, the state police spokesman, said the road was closed in the area of North George Street and Route 30 from about 1:50 a.m. to 5 a.m.

Friday Discourse (96)
Sharing Power in Democracy
In The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, the most celebrated historian on the ancient empire, Edward Gibbon, started his discussion in 1776 on the constitution of the empire during the Antonines with the fol-lowing paragraph:
“The obvious definition of a monarchy seems to be that of a state, in which a single person, by whatsoever name he may be dis-tinguished, is intrusted with the execution of laws, the management of the revenue, and the command of the army. But unless public liberty is protected by intrepid and vigilant guardians, the authority of so formidable a magistrate will soon degenerate into despot-ism. The influence of the clergy, in an age of superstition, might be usefully employed to assert the rights of mankind; but so intimate is the connection between the throne and the altar, that the banner of the church has very seldom been on the side of the people. A martial nobility and stubborn commons, possessed of arms, tenacious of property, and collected into constitutional assemblies, form the only balance capable of preserving a free constitution against enterprises of an aspiring prince.”
The above analysis of Gibbon presents three observations regarding the preserva-tion of freedom and rights of people in a society. One is entrusting it to a monarch, which has been the commonest practice in history. Abuse of power in this case became irresistible and such nations quickly became attended by the evil of despotism. The Prince who would come to the throne with the approval of the people and amidst their jubilation has transformed into a formidable enemy. At home he would violate their rights; and abroad he would turn them into subjects of hardship and danger of war in service of his ever-growing ambition to cap-ture and control the treasures of other na-tions.
It became necessary to therefore regulate the behaviour of these princes and religion was the chief instrument. With its emphasis on piety, service to God and the concept of Hereafter, religion has on many occasions helped to daunt the ambitions of rulers, par-ticularly when they became inclined more to piety than to iniquity. Mankind under such circumstances would breath the air of free-dom.
But the breath was usually short. For the fact that it emphasizes piety as a cardinal requisite for successful leadership – and few men are given to piety – governments led by pious people hardly live long after their founders without being embraced by the wicked. The fight put against the tyranny of the Prince by the clergy has in most occa-sions failed. In the history of Europe in par-ticular, the church has left much to be de-sired: it chose to become a collaborator so much so that Gibbon could find the courage to assert that “the church has seldom been on the side of the people.”(Please do not waste your time writing a rejoinder to Ed-ward Gibbon: one, he is already dead; two, the clergy among his contemporaries have already done that by calling him an ‘un-believer’ desiring to write not only about the decline and fall of the Roman Empire but ‘the decline and fall of Christianity’! Yet, among the people and historians of his age, he enjoyed the celebrity of being the ‘His-torian of the Roman Empire.’ How distant were the people from their church!)
This failure of people to find protection in absolute monarchy or in the one regulated by the clergy, they were compelled to trust no one but themselves. The struggle to do so has preoccupied the history of Europe in the last four centuries.
Not withstanding all we said about the ills of monarchy – where power is entrusted in a single individual – and the possible prospects of a republic – where power is shared between the executive and the senate, the choice could best be left to circumstance. Each of them has its advantages and disad-vantages.
In people not used to freedom and inde-pendence, or in periods of civil discord and decline of affairs of a nation, history has preferred to forego the luxury of fragment-ing power. It opts for empowering the Prince with more power to enable the restoration of law and order necessary for reform and de-velopment.
It is an irony that the above passage of Gibbon was the first paragraph on the emer-gence of Augustus (63 B.C. – 14 A.D.) as the first Emperor of the Roman Empire. The empire witnessed prolonged civil strife and social degeneration. Augustus, the adopted son of Julius Caesar, strongly felt that a strong leadership is the only guarantee to the opportunities of reform and reclamation of the dignity and prosperity of the Empire. The achievements of Augustus were calcu-lated from the onset of his rule. He started by modifying the composition of the senate to suit his purpose. He made his Roman citi-zens receptive of his idea for reform with him at the helm. On this Gibbon said: “It was dangerous to trust the sincerity of Au-gustus; to seem to distrust it was still more dangerous. The respective advantages of monarchy and a republic have often divided speculative inquirers; the present greatness of the Roman state, the corruption of man-ners, and the license of the soldiers, supplied new arguments to the advocates of mon-archy; and these general views of gov-ernment were again warped by the hopes and fears of each individual…
“After a decent resistance the crafty ty-rant submitted to the orders of the senate; and consented to receive the government of the provinces and the general command of the Roman armies, under the well-known names of Proconsul and Imperator. But would receive them only for ten years. Even before the expiration of that period, he hoped that the wounds of civil discord would be completely healed, and that the republic, restored to its pristine health and vigour, would no longer require the danger-ous interposition of so extraordinary a magi-strate.”
Even today similar things happen when the constitution of a nation is suspended or a state of emergency is declared. Sometimes, military takes over when it is evident that politicians are leading the nation to water-loo.
However, the overwhelming fashion to-day is for powers to be separated – or frag-mented, as the Americans would call it – further than what the ancients practiced. In the 17th century, the English Philosopher John Lock (1632-1704) dismissed the divine right of kings to rule and argued vehemently in support of civil governments. He, as later did the French philosopher Charles-Louis Monstesquieu, advanced the concept of separation of powers as a guarantee against reincarnation of despotism. Power in this doctrine is to be shared between the exec-utive and the representatives of the people with the judiciary as the arbitrator.
Nowhere were the thoughts of the two philosophers profoundly expressed than in the American constitution. Though the world seemed to be running away from the tyranny of the Prince, it was clear to them that unless checks were introduced, the legislature may usurp power and make re-publics difficult to govern by the executive. Two hundred years after the Philadelphia convention where the doctrine of separation of powers was adopted, the balance of power between the executive and the legisla-ture is still attained only with great caution and manifest labour. The separation is most threatened when the same party controls the executive and the legislature.
Constitutional governments based on the doctrine of separation of powers do not seem to be yielding the desired results in most developing countries. In Nigeria par-ticularly, three (or say two and a half) repub-lics were lost to military coups. While the first could hardly be justified, the second and third could not be condemned as lacking merit. As long as they lasted, different arms of government in the second and third re-publics failed to ensure good governance through checking the excesses of one an-other. Contrarily, the pitch was divided into two, with the legislature and the executive on one side and the people they claim to rep-resent on the other. The result of this col-laboration was the proliferation of corrup-tion and rigging of elections to sustain lead-ership.
At the level of states, there was little to show that the legislature has ever tried to check the excesses of the executive. Once their material demands were met, lawmakers were always ready to grant the executive the position of an emperor. Our ‘emperors’ however, were not like Augustus, for instead of working towards higher ideals in leader-ship and governance, they stooped down to the bestial level of material gratification. This tantamount to the death and burial of merit and accountability leading to the logi-cal conclusion of retaining power in order to perpetuate the ongoing injustice.
That was where the executive collabor-ated with the legislature. There were occa-sions, very few though, when the governor would stand his ground on principle, per-haps belonging to a different ideology from the legislature that was hell-bent on continu-ing with the old practice of squander and theft. The result was that such governors got kicked out of their position, using the im-peachment clause in the constitutional that was meant to safeguard the interest of the people. The impeachment of the first exec-utive governor of Kaduna State was a lead-ing example. That event alone did the great-est damage to the cause of the common man in a democracy. It has proved that little hope is there in our wholesale adoption of the American constitution.
From then, the legislature has become powerful a monster dreaded by the exec-utive. A compromise with evil has become necessary if the executive desires any achievement, no matter how small. ‘Serve us and remain, or challenge us and go’ became the maxim that defined the relationship be-tween the legislature and the executive. Thus was the transformation of the legisla-ture from restraint to constraint.
In this republic, the fourth in our experi-ment, we have enough examples to cite. Apart from the experience of the President and the National Assembly or that of each state governor with his legislature, at the local government level, crisis are daily em-erging between the chairmen and their coun-cillors. Last Tuesday we learnt the disband-ment of Hong Local Government council the Governor of Adamawa State for the deterio-ration of law and order in the area arising from the seemingly unending strife within local council. The truth of such acrimony is always one: the chairmen, who in many cases may not be as pious as Balarabe Musa, might have failed to tow the line of the legislature on matters of allowances or con-tracts though different excuses may be given to cover the actual cause.
If such acrimony breeds hindrance, co-operation and compromise breeds corruption and maladministration. We remember that last year when it was under a leadership of Okadigbo, the National Assembly was more critical of the budget; they were able to ask questions and to insist on getting clarifica-tions. This year, under the ongoing peace treaty, few questions, if any, were asked. Perhaps, the executive have become more competent in preparing budgets so much so that the 2001 bill could pass without much fuss at the assembly or the legislature has agreed, in pursuit of our common good, to cooperate with the executive and overlook its errors. No one should be deceived about what is going on.
Despite these shortcomings and others which we have been discussing about in the past two weeks, we do not feel that solutions should be sought outside the province of the civil government as it happened in the past, unless if the situation becomes really critical – something very far, though Rawlings has started singing the coup song in Ghana. We believe, especially with how the last three military governments run the country to standstill, the third option of Edward Gibbon is our best guarantee to freedom and devel-opment. It is important however to suggest that the constitution needs review such that the realities of our society will be taken into cognisance. Our suggestions may be few but they are fundamental to the success of the republic. Briefly, they are:
1. Transfer of power to impeach an executive from the legislature to the judiciary
2. Further assertion of the independence of the judiciary to enable it the courage required of impartial umpire.
3. Raising the educational standard of political office holders.
4. Revisiting an earlier suggestion of reducing tenures to a single term.
5. Rejection of zoning, power shift and other rubbish.
6. Enforcement of lifetime ban on citizens proved of corrupt practices from participating in politics.
These suggestions, and perhaps few more, will, God willing, be the topic of our dis-course next week.

Far to the north of the coast of New Zealand, the teeny tiny island nation of Tokelau just finished making a full switch to solar power—a renewable investment that will help the nation’s roughly 1,400 people kick their $825,000 per year reliance on imported diesel.
Tokelau is a dependent territory of New Zealand, a total of 12 square kilometers of land stretched over three islands—Atafu, Nukunonu, and Fakaofo—that lie, at their highest point, just 16 feet above sea level. On top of the economic incentive of no longer needing to import so much fuel just to keep the lights on, says AlertNet’s Peter Madden, the switch is “a commitment to environmental sustainability on the frontier of climate change.”
Like other low-lying islands, “Tokelau is particularly vulnerable to climate change and will be among the first to feel its effects” as melting glacier ice and other shifts cause the sea level to rise.
Tokelau’s new solar-powered grid was built up over three months and consists of “4,032 photovoltaic panels and 1,344 batteries with generators running on biofuel derived from coconuts,” says UPI.com. The one-megawatt installation should be able to provide around 150% of Tokelau’s total electricity demand. By comparison, the same plant would power roughly 200 homes in the United States.

Finally released today, after a long wait, is Joda-Time version 1.5. This release fixes a number of bugs, and contains a raft of enhancements, which should make it a desirable upgrade for most users.
One enhancement is to provide a way to handle awkward time zones where midnight disappears. In these zones, the daylight savings time (DST) spring cutover results in there being no midnight. Unfortunately, the
LocalDate.toDateTimeAtMidnight() method required midnight to exist and throws an exception if it doesn't. Version 1.5 adds a
LocalDate.toDateTimeAtStartOfDay() method which handles this case by returning the first valid time on the date.
Period class has also received a lot of new methods. You can now easily convert to a
Duration and other periods using the standard ISO definitions of seconds/minutes/hours/days. You can also normalize using these definitions, converting "1 year 15 months" to "2 years 3 months".
Finally, it is now easier to tell if a given instant is in summer or winter time.

“It’s a big thing of joy, no doubt. But I am just a policeman making ends meet for family.
“The burden of caring for these children is enormous but it’s nothing compared to the shame, pressure and pains we have had to endure these pass seven years of childlessness.
“We thank God for answering our prayers. “I can’t help but shout out to well meaning individuals and groups to come to our aid. We can’t do it on our own.
“Thankfully, out of sheer compassion, the hospital has frozen our bill at N1.5million since we arrived through the delivery”. | <urn:uuid:9a71e459-b70f-4309-be2b-45301f48faa6> | CC-MAIN-2021-25 | https://www.atinkanews.net/2021/01/18/jubilation-as-policeman-and-his-wife-welcome-sextuplets-after-7-years-of-marriage/ | 2021-06-23T18:54:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-25/segments/1623488539764.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20210623165014-20210623195014-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.95636 | 286 |

To celebrate the Second International tarot day an international team of specially tasked sleuths have been hot on the trail of 14 suspects from the dreamy world of Cups.
All potential culprits were chosen at random.
These detectives were able to profile many suspects but sadly, the most elusive of them used illusionary tricks to elude them.
The detectives interrogated the 3 of Cups (but it was a fail on this one), 4 of Cups by Tarot and Kitties , 5 of Cups by Mother Tarot, 10 of Cups (another fail), Queen of Cups by San Dee and King of Cups by Auntie Moon.
The sleuths had a list of questions to follow in order to build a forensic profile of their particular suspect.
Here are the unnerving tales of some of the suspects.
Sadly, the investigator has not completed their case.

The card depicts a young woman sitting on a throne at the edge of the sea. She is holding a beautiful cup with sculpted handles and a closed lid. Her hands are at the base of the cup. Because the cup has a lid I see this as introspection; a woman in tune with her inner emotions.
She is wearing a golden crown and silver robe. Her cloak is patterned blue and white like waves in the water.
She is sitting alone on a throne with carvings of mermaids and shells; another reference to water and the sea.
The sky is perfectly cloudlessly blue. The water at her feet is smooth and calm. Colourful rocks have washed up on the shore and she rests her feet on them and not in the water.
I interpreted the Queen of Cups as a woman who is nurturing, caring, compassionate and sensitive. Her face is very calm and her posture on the throne appears relaxed yet confident, showing she is emotionally secure in herself and her feelings. Being confident herself allows her to connect on an emotional level with others in an honest and warm hearted manner. She is kind, generous, empathic, and intuitive, often sensing emotions before they are vocalised. Invariably she is a good listener.
On the card she faces west to the setting sun.
Because of her caring attributes, she might be found in such professions as counsellor, psychic, or a healer of some description.
If this card shows in a reading it might represent someone you know; possibly yourself.
Numerology connection of the Queen of Cups.
In researching this card I came up with the numbers 3, for creative energy; 11, representing enlightenment; and 38, which can be reduced to 11.
Element traditionally associated with the Queen of Cups.
The element traditionally associated with the Queen of Cups is water, which is fluid. I believe this represents a woman who is giving and adaptable, since water will always take the path of least resistance, and can re-form itself to any circumstance. The water on the card is very calm; indicative of serenity and peacefulness. These feelings are echoed in the cloudless, perfect sky, and in her clothing and calm posture.
In astrology I found three correspondences; Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces; though Cancer seemed to be predominant.
In shadow she might have a problem with substance abuse, or be emotionally immature. She might also be delusional, co-dependent, or obsessive.
Crystals associated with the Queen of Cups.
The crystal associated with this card is the emerald, popularly believed to bring loyalty and provide domestic bliss; enhance unconditional love, and promote friendship. The emerald stimulates the heart chakra, able to heal emotions as well as the physical heart. Its soothing energy embodies unity, compassion and unconditional love.
Herbs, flowers or essential oils connected to the Queen of Cups.
The only herb I came across connected to this card was one called Lady’s Mantle. Alchemists once thought that the moisture in the leaves had magical properties and could be used to restore youth. The leaves of the plant taste quite bitter but can be brewed in a tea or, if they are young leaves, mixed into salads. Medicinally, Lady’s Mantle can help with menstrual cramps and relieve excessive bleeding. This information ties into the card being female and in touch with her inner and outer self.
Something I found interesting was a list of medicine totems associated with the card. They are snake, owl, and spider; creatures representing unwinding, unravelling, shedding, and shifting between worlds.

Apprentices are the way forward, Lord Sugar tells UJS
Training schemes and internships could be better co-ordinated to benefit both businesses and potential employees, Lord Sugar has told Jewish students.
He said interns were a distraction for workers and that independent training programmes funded by the government should be scrapped in favour of directly paying companies to train apprentices.
The veteran businessman was speaking during a Union of Jewish Students event in central London last week, ahead of the relaunch of his BBC hit show The Apprentice.
In conversation with Times journalist and JC columnist Daniel Finkelstein, Lord Sugar said exams had been “dumbed down” and criticised what he said was a lack of drive in young people.
The Amstrad founder said he had explored the possibility of working on technology projects in Israel in the past, but revealed he had never been able to conclude a deal with Israeli businesses because Israelis “won’t listen”.
During a question and answer session with the students he said his first role model had been his uncle, and that media mogul Rupert Murdoch was someone he admired.
When dealing with setbacks, said Lord Sugar, it was best to “pick yourself up and move on”.
The event raised more than £5,000 for UJS, whose president, Alex Green, said the organisation’s efforts were “fundamental” for supporting young Jews as they enter the working world. | <urn:uuid:34f3b8dd-2ea7-4a66-9acc-329eb29bd6c0> | CC-MAIN-2014-52 | http://www.thejc.com/news/campus-news/107282/apprentices-are-way-forward-lord-sugar-tells-ujs | 2014-12-20T20:19:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-52/segments/1418802770371.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20141217075250-00009-ip-10-231-17-201.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.986684 | 296 |

3pm, June 25, 2009 – I’m sitting in a legal practice seminar when across the table, an attorney whispers, “Michael Jackson just died.” Thanks to Twitter, instant messaging, texting, iPhones, PDAs, we got the news as it broke. We had also lost Farrah Fawcett earlier the same day, and Ed McMahon less than 48 hours before. It is a somber reminder – we are all mortal. Michael Jackson has been compared to this generation’s Elvis. Now the culturally significant question might now be: “where were you when the King of Pop died?”
I was attending a seminar on how to run a more efficient law office by automating the legal process to reduce attorney time spent on each case. While this might be okay for other law offices, it wouldn’t serve the mission of an immigration law office like Fong & Aquino where we work with clients who have such different and highly individualized immigration problems. Sure, maybe this method could work for some clients who have simpler, more straightforward cases but not for those who have very complex problems. I do agree that technology should help attorneys work more efficiently, but technology can’t replace the one-on-one time that an attorney needs to spend with a client, time spent listening. I couldn’t delegate that task to a computer – no way. My job is to help people achieve their immigration plans, their dreams. And doing so means you have to work closely with clients. The seminar became really irrelevant to me right then and there.
But what is relevant to me on the day Michael Jackson died, is that today, President Obama conducted the first of what will be many, many meetings beginning the long-awaited immigration reform debate. The New York Times ran a good article yesterday on how the political stage is set for this discussion. But it’s also important to ask ourselves, what we think immigration reform should to look like. Could we ourselves, have misperceptions about immigration or immigrants that we need to examine or change? Immigration reform is going to take place on the political stage, but conversations in all our communities need to take place, too. And it starts with ourselves, whether we are using myths to make judgments on immigrants or actual facts. –ecf | <urn:uuid:e6eb4741-d4ac-4f51-a002-c0f6aac05d19> | CC-MAIN-2019-43 | https://www.immigrationvisaattorneyblog.com/category/uncategorized/ | 2019-10-20T09:38:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-43/segments/1570986705411.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20191020081806-20191020105306-00038.warc.gz | en | 0.968649 | 473 |
