|Just moments after she ran (yes, ran, not jogged) the|
entirety of her first 5K ... like a BOSS! And yes, her
younger brother does look much older than she does. :)
My sister is an elementary music teacher at the district. I've had the pleasure of playing bass and banjo at her choir's performances. Those experiences are so much fun because I get to see her in her element — sharing her passion for music and increasing her students' appreciation and abilities as musicians. No lie, she is teaching them skills that many teenage choir and band students in high school will never learn, and these children are mastering them! It's nothing short of incredible. (Don't be shocked when the number of All-State choir and band members from Lovejoy spike once her students reach high school.)
But yesterday was different. Sure, we were on her turf, but we were there to run the Lovejoy Country Run 5K, so the race atmosphere meant it was more-or-less my turf. Before yesterday, she had never run a race and I had never run a 5K. (For those keeping score, the first race I ever signed up for was the Dallas White Rock Marathon in 2011; what can I say, I've always been a "jump in the deep end first" kind of guy.)
Before the race I got to see a high school friend I hadn't seen in 15 years. She, her husband and their two children — whom my sister teaches (such a crazy-small world!) — were running, too. It was awesome catching up and reminiscing. Such a sweet gal and family!
It went well. I ran very little in the weeks leading up to the race (still recovering from OKC and fully invested in cycling this spring/summer). So I entered my first 5K with only three things on my mind — no friggin' fuel belt necessary (woo-hoo), put it all out there and run till I'm empty and no matter what, I'm getting a PR, haha!
The first mile (7:45) was great. My speed training leaves a lot to be desired (that's changing); but I've done enough to know that I can run a 7-minute mile. So after running a fairly conservative first mile, I picked up the pace for the final 2. I walked twice to drink from the mouthwash-size Dixie cups (no chance of grabbing those while running and not spilling the contents).
As I entered the final 200-ish meters I went all out, faster than I've ever run in a race. It. Felt. Awesome. It didn't hurt that there was a sizeable crowd lining the final 100 meters. I was hauling (relative) ass. I crossed the line at 23:44 (7:36/mile) — stoked and exhausted at the same time.
Once I caught my breath, I doubled back to the final half mile of the race, where I met and joined my sister. She was running great and didn't need the water I brought. She ran alongside a fellow teacher, so they pushed each other the whole way. My sister crossed the finish line at 34 minutes to the cheers of students, coworkers and parents. She did something she would have never considered doing even a year ago. I am so proud of her.

As some of you may know, I am a vegetarian. I have a handful of reasons why I choose to not eat meat. One is animal rights. However, I choose to not preach or attempt to convert others (not even on my blog). You like steak and bacon? Right on. You will never receive a lecture from me. If you ever inquire about my choices, I am open to sharing my views and reasons, but I will not engage in a debate.
Surprisingly, I didn't snap a single picture yesterday;
so, instead, here's a gaggle of now neighborsgoners, at
Tour de neighborsgo in Castle Hills, circa 2009.
I left neighborsgo (the community papers/website of The Dallas Morning News) last May after more than three excellent years. When I saw the reunion announcement, I knew I could't miss seeing neighborsgoers and neighborsgoners. I'm glad I didn't. Seeing them again and chatting for about three hours was wonderful (get a group of journalists together, add libations and the hilarity ensues). | <urn:uuid:7b5fc5e0-f95b-4ea2-846a-5e1dba86aafb> | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | http://www.tr13ce.com/2012/05/day-at-races-first-time-5kers-lone.html | 2020-02-23T12:42:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875145774.75/warc/CC-MAIN-20200223123852-20200223153852-00023.warc.gz | en | 0.976964 | 924 |

See Inside the Abandoned Fort Orange Paper Mill Near Albany
Remember the Fort Orange Paper Company in Castleton, outside Albany New York? It's been abandoned for over 16 years but you can see inside.
Dan Laroe of Northeastern Abandoned Exploration toured the old mill. "It's a lot bigger than it looks when you first approach it."
The mill closed in 2000 but was taken over by Rensselaer County for back taxes. The county had plans to redevelop the site in 2014, but funding for the $250 million project couldn't be secured, according to the Times Union.
The paper mill opened in 1856 when Charles Benthuysen came to Castleton. In 1881 he sold the mill to Woolworth and Graham who called it the Fort Orange Paper Company. Production of post cards, bank books, colored paper, pads, and tablets was increased to about 16 tons per day. By 1895 about 200 men were employed at the mill.
The mill may be abandoned but Laroe says it's well watched by police. "I was escorted out via the Schodack police, who were really cool about the whole thing."
If you're thinking of touring any abandoned building, it's a good idea to get permission before you go. | <urn:uuid:076ad710-0d20-4149-b14d-057a982b0456> | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | http://bigfrog104.com/see-inside-the-abandoned-fort-orange-paper-mill-near-albany/ | 2018-10-24T03:29:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-43/segments/1539583518753.75/warc/CC-MAIN-20181024021948-20181024043448-00502.warc.gz | en | 0.975477 | 258 |
A man has been put behind bars for a violent robbery that left his victim with "serious injuries."
Israel Vargas, 18, was sentenced to eight years in prison on Friday (April 13) at Guildford Crown Court, for the violent robbery and attempted robbery of taxi drivers in Stanwell Moor .
Vargas, of Commercial Way, Southwark, had earlier pleaded guilty to carrying a bladed article, robbery, attempted robbery and wounding with intent.
On Friday, January 26, Vargas robbed the driver of a parked taxi, before getting in an altercation with the driver of a second parked taxi in Hithermoor Road.
The driver was stabbed during this altercation and police praised the "lifesaving actions" of a witness who came to his aid.
The incidents took place at 5.55am near the Anchor Pub in Stanwell Moor. Vargas approached a parked taxi and threatened the driver with a knife, before taking his car keys and wallet.
He then approached a second parked taxi, opened the driver's door and threatened the driver with a knife, demanding his belongings.
An altercation followed in which the taxi driver received a deep stab wound to his right arm.
Vargas then fled the scene, while the victim knocked on the door of a local resident, who then called the police.
Vargas was arrested less than a week after the incidents, after CCTV footage and finger prints were found linking him to the crimes.
Investigating officer, detective constable Sharon Parlett, said: "This was a terrifying ordeal for the victims who were subjected to an unprovoked attack.
"Fortunately, following a witness appeal, we were able to get Vargas off the streets.
"One of the victims was left with serious injuries, which could have been worse if it wasn't for the swift action of the witness who called the emergency services.
"As a result, this witness's life-saving actions have been commended. A judge has issued them with a high sheriffs award."

A couple of capacitor questions...
So I recently got a G5 iMac that suffers from the bad caps. Apple says they'll fix it for a cool $700... which I'm not interested in doing. If you refer to the pictures below, you'll see that only 1 cap on the board has gone bad thus far.
Currently, my symptoms are constantly running fans, and the inability to sleep. If I hit the sleep button, the machine instead switches off without any kind of warning- not a good thing. So I'm willing to bet that the cap on the board is related to the fans, and I guess that there's probably a bad capacitor in the power supply as well.
So, here's my questions:
1) Once one cap goes, how long is it before the other capacitors start dying? And is there any way to prolong their life?
2) Has anyone repaired the caps before? I've got a friend who's really good with a solder iron, so I might be able to twist his arm into helping me out. How difficult did you find it to replace them?
Is this a good question? | <urn:uuid:c1f57399-34c3-4146-a699-fa8cb6ddc013> | CC-MAIN-2016-07 | https://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/17438/A+couple+of+capacitor+questions. | 2016-02-13T21:29:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-07/segments/1454701168011.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20160205193928-00106-ip-10-236-182-209.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.97054 | 234 |

Everyone talks about the importance Self Esteem and how we view ourselves has direct effect on our daily performance, and how happy we are etc. My question as a Sales Professional and Sales Trainer is: What are you doing to build your Sales Esteem? The way you value yourself as a sales person?
If you had to rate your Sales Esteem on a scale from 1-10 what would it be?
I believe there are three things you and I can do to help build our Sales Esteem.
Change the LENS:
We must change the perception others have of the sales profession, by breaking the mold of the stereotypical salesperson. It seems sales people get a negative wrap and are viewed as slick, fast talking, insensitive, non-listening, slimy used car “plaid jacket wearing” salesmen. We must challenge people on their basic categorization of sales people, by interjecting sales characteristics such as: pioneer, relationship catalyst, solution provider, match maker, life saver, bridge builder, disease stopper, subject matter expert, facilitator, connector, bottom line economic driver, etc. If we are doing the sales profession effectively then all of the above become part of our daily practices, and what we choose to take on as an identify will affect our Sales Esteem.
Change the Method:
Instead of measuring your sales career in popularity or feedback, move it into controllable actions like calls, testimonials, connections, dispositions, Solicitations responded to or presentations delivered. Too many times we as sales people live on the highs and lows of the way we feel after a meeting rather than the real numbers that drive our business.
Change your Value:
Every service and product usually finds a competitor but people can always be an individual. You can always decide to be different from your competition even if your product or service isn’t. You can always be the one person that remembers birthdays, writes personal cards, sends great anniversary gifts, is an exceptional public speaker, builds networks for your clients, is genuinely interested in their family, is always positive, is always candid, is always great with follow-up, etc. In short, you can always add value to “YOU” as a person. You always be a player that separates yourself from your competition in the sales world.
Build your Sales Esteem and you will work your way through the sales funnel faster and with greater results. Best thing of all is it’s controlled by you!

First up, Ripcords costume from Paris after he is arrested. This trouser, shirt and hat combination went for $152. The jacket sold for $180, not bad for an Armani coat!
The problem with splitting this costumes isnt that much when you add the two costs together but it seems silly too me on the more expensive outfits, rather than make an extra buck these pieces should be kept together in my honest opinion.
The other item too sell was actually the same piece that sold at Profiles last year…the Baroness from the beginning of the movie.
Now this piece sold for $5300 for charity at Profiles and was donated by the director of the film. It was all Hero except for the trousers that were like today’s costume sold, worn by the stunt performer Bridgett Riley. You can also see that the costumes are subtlety different because the leather doesnt go to the sides of the corset and the arms also have stretchy fabric so the performer can move in them.
This means that it was only used in a few short moments since there are very few stunts performed in the early part of the film. Thats a shame but when you remember that recently it was confirmed that there were only 4 of each other costumes made of each design, two stunt, two hero its still a great piece. One of the other pieces of information that came out of this auction was that the Baroness costume pieces are mixed and matched. A future article will be looking more into this very soon!
Here in the meantime is a picture of the stunt woman, and as you can see she looks ALOT like Sienna Miller!
This costume ended up selling for $3600! and came with the same belt and gloves as my coat from a few weeks ago. | <urn:uuid:2e2c43ba-46ee-40b5-9da9-739602d05f8f> | CC-MAIN-2018-17 | https://thepropstop.wordpress.com/2010/11/16/gi-joe-the-auction-week-9-on-ebay/ | 2018-04-25T16:34:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-17/segments/1524125947931.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20180425154752-20180425174752-00573.warc.gz | en | 0.982781 | 368 |

It’s the Day After Christmas... Now What?
Happy Last Week of 2017 Beautifuls!
It's after Christmas.. now what? Now that the hustle and bustle of Christmas has commenced and the gift wrapping and counting down has ceased, what now?
That's a good question.
Well, usually we start preparing for the new year. We gather together our New Years resolutions, which consist of the things that we are and the things we are not gonna do in the new year to come. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with having resolutions. There's nothing wrong with wanting to do things differently. I just don't want is so wrapped up in the idea of the season of a new year, that when the season passes, we're still not moving in the direction of newness.
Let us truly consider the state of our liveys right now. Let us consider the things that we want to change but also consider the changes that need to take place in order to get and be what we want.
Now that Christmas has come and gone, you don't have to return to your regularly scheduled program. You can continue on with excitement and thrill as you move towards the new year but more importantly, the new you! | <urn:uuid:775a47df-8a84-4d13-ad39-cfcd886c54fb> | CC-MAIN-2021-31 | http://www.roxiespowderroom.com/2017/12/happy-last-week-of-2017-beautifuls-its.html | 2021-07-28T11:46:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-31/segments/1627046153709.26/warc/CC-MAIN-20210728092200-20210728122200-00083.warc.gz | en | 0.96593 | 256 |

We’ve got Leigh Taylor of Medium and Gravita fame. He’ll be talking about this holacracy stuff that people have been banging on about lately, and what it takes to actually make a creative company work in a decentralised way.
Should be good brain-tickling fun. You can secure your place at the event now. It’s free. But the usual warning applies: if you can’t make it, be sure to cancel your ticket—if you book a place and then don’t show up, you will be persona non grata for any future Connections.
See you in two weeks time.

It turns out that Big Bird is a god-defying instantiation of Moorcock’s Eternal Champion. Magnificent!
Big Bird and Snuffy go with him to stand in the Hall of Two Truths at the gate to the afterlife. The gigantic foam balls on these guys! Sure, Elmo loves you, but when’s the last time Elmo held anyone’s hand on the threshold of eternal night?

DBA Twenty/ Twenty mentoring: Now open for applications from the UK and worldwide
The DBA’s Twenty/ Twenty mentoring programme has been running for 10 years now and in that time, we’ve supported over 400 participants through the programme from around 250 businesses.
Agency leaders from a wide spectrum of design businesses, located both within and beyond the UK, are drawn to the programme for different reasons.
Paired with established design pioneers for a 12-month one-to-one mentoring relationship, which can take place in-person or via online conversations, mentees are empowered to develop the quality of their thinking around business issues, to build confidence in decision-making and in leadership.
The programme is purposefully flexible around how each individual mentoring pair wants to proceed through the year, ensuring mentees take different benefits out of the programme depending on their own, and their business’, particular circumstances and needs.
Dublin-based Dynamo’s Chairman and Founder, Jamie Helly has found the programme “more than helpful” this year in gaining reassurance as to what other companies are also facing, as well as benefiting from “ideas sharing on ways of coping, along with great insights on team management and HR” from his mentor, Elmwood’s Founder and Chairman, Jonathan Sands OBE.
Applications to participate in the 2021 mentoring programme are now open.
Find out how valuable a mentor could be to you this year and sign up.
The deadline for all applications is Friday 4 December at 5pm GMT. | <urn:uuid:14652fd8-3f5d-4825-a7ee-a70f3a77d2fb> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://beda.org/news/dba-twenty-twenty-mentoring-now-open-for-applications-from-the-uk-and-worldwide/ | 2024-02-23T04:50:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474360.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20240223021632-20240223051632-00019.warc.gz | en | 0.959891 | 324 |

Brooklands is the first ever motor-racing circuit. It is located near the villages of Weybridge and Esher in Surrey, England. There was an aerodrome inside the circuit which was bombed in the war and consequently Brooklands fell out of use as a circuit in the 1930's. Brooklands had huge banked corners, 100 feet wide, and some of them still remain. In fact, the whole place now looks like a crumbling time-capsule with the eerie remains of the circuit hidden in the trees.
The song called Brooklands is about a true-life racing driver called John Cobb. Whilst he was a quiet and reserved man he had a love for speed and racing. He was born near the site of the race track and went from being a keen spectator to being a competitor. He went on to become the dominant driver at Brooklands in the days of the Napier Railtons and the Bentley Boys driving their ‘Blowers’
Here is some jaw-dropping footage of Cobb and Malcolm Campbell racing at Brooklands in 1932. As you will see if you watch the film, these men were extraordinarily brave.
Cobb went on to hold the ultimate track record at Brooklands with an average speed of nearly 144 miles per hour. Cobb broke several land and water speed records and continued with his record breaking attempts into middle-age. He died on Loch Ness in 1952 whilst attempting to break the water speed record. Cobb's beloved wife had died before him in 1948 after just a year of marriage. He had recently married again and his second wife was at the Loch when he crashed.
The opening of the song sets the scene as John is driving to Loch Ness to attempt the water speed record. As he takes his boat out onto the water he remembers back to his young days at Brooklands and then his later life as a racer. These are the last memories he will think about.
After the crash, the people of the local villages raised money for a memorial on the Loch side:
Brooklands is about a man who is growing older and wonders, like many of us do: ‘where did all the time go?’ But John Cobb was determined to extract everything he could out of life and to lead the life he wanted to live right up to the end. I imagine that Brooklands was a kind of heaven for him, it being the place that defined him and where he found himself.
For those who want to read further about John Cobb, there is an excellent article about this reluctant hero here.
Brooklands is well worth a visit. There is a motor museum and an aviation museum on site and a number of period buildings. It is still possible to walk around many areas of the banked circuit and imagine the cars racing by. | <urn:uuid:571f3ed9-274c-40cf-8535-5314a7242c76> | CC-MAIN-2018-13 | http://bigbigtrain.blogspot.com/2016/04/brooklands.html | 2018-03-20T15:55:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-13/segments/1521257647498.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20180320150533-20180320170533-00524.warc.gz | en | 0.987935 | 565 |

I thought this level of graphics was reserved for PCs only. I was wrong. With Touchgrind BMX, Illusion Labs AB has taken iPhone gaming to a whole new dimension. The level of detail is remarkable, and the smoothness even more so. I have found similar performance-demanding apps to occasionally stutter and slow down my phone’s OS after playing, but with Touchgrind BMX I have experienced no such problems… even on my measly iPhone 3GS. Gamers using the iPhone 4 with its faster processor should have no trouble whatsoever.
There are a variety of maps – from an industrial estate to sandy beaches and city skylines; all with fun obstacles and jumps. The way you control the bike is actually quite intuitive. Illusion Labs AB have ditched the usual technique of tilting the phone and have gone for an entirely different approach. You have to put one finger on the saddle to pedal, and one on the handlebars to steer. To perform tricks you have to move your fingers in a certain way – for example, to perform a “tailwhip” (where the tail of the bike spins around and the handlebars remain stationary), you flick the finger on the saddle and then release it. To stop the tailwhip for landing you simply place your finger back on the saddle. You do the same thing but with your other finger to perform a “barspin”. It’s quite difficult to explain but it makes sense when you actually play it.
For each trick you perform you gain points, but by doing this alone you cannot progress to the next stages. You have to earn something called “adrenaline points” by completing different challenges on each map. One example of a challenge is: “Ride the entire course at full speed without crashing”. You need a certain number of adrenaline points to continue. This game is far from easy however and will keep you trying for hours.
There are a couple of minor downsides to this game. Inevitably with such high graphics, this game is a real battery-drainer so make sure you have a charger handy if you are playing this on the move. It’s also £2.99 which is quite expensive as far as iPhone games go, although I think the price is worth it because the game play is so fun. The only thing missing from this game is a free roam option. If they release this in a future update then this game would be no doubt worthy of 5/5. For the moment though, I will give it a 4/5, although it definitely ranks high up in my favourite iPhone games and will certainly be staying in my games folder.

Patrick Henry’s “Liberty or Death” Speech (1775)
It was on this date, March 23, 1775, that American Revolutionary War patriot Patrick Henry spoke these immortal words before the Virginia House of Burgesses or legislature, meeting at St. John’s Church in Richmond:
This is what we remember from school and what our children even today are taught about American history. This is to say nothing of what those who believe America was founded as a Christian Nation will claim. But this immortal “Liberty or Death” speech by a very important figure in American history, might never have been delivered – or, at least, not in the words we are encouraged to remember. And Patrick Henry himself may not have been the fundamentalist Christian the “Christian Nation” proponents claim he was.
Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace--but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!
First, it is well attested that Patrick Henry (1736-1799) delivered some motivational speech on this date at St. John’s Church in 1775. But no trace of it remains in Henry’s writings, no witness to the event – and Washington and Jefferson were there – wrote a transcript or even any notes. How, then, did we come by the text of this speech? The text of this speech first appeared in print in The Life and Character of Patrick Henry, published in 1816 by William Wirt, a Maryland-born contemporary and lawyer, seventeen years after Henry’s death, and over 41 years after the speech was delivered.
Biographer William Wirt claimed to have interviewed attendees and polled their recollections, basing his text heavily on the recollection of Bermuda-born Judge St. George Tucker. However, it is more than possible, even reasonable, to conclude that although Henry had a reputation as a powerful, persuasive orator, the “Liberty or Death” speech was in fact invented for this sympathetic biography by the biographer. Wirt was known as a pretty good writer and speech maker in his own right, and he was brought up with a strong religious education, which may explain the many religious references in the speech he attributes to Patrick Henry. The Wirt biography was considered a fiction by none other than Thomas Jefferson.
As for Patrick Henry, so popular mythology goes, he was typical among the Founding Fathers as a Christian fundamentalist, at least according to “Christian Nation” proponents. It may be true that Henry was a strong Christian, as the Faith of Our Fathers website claims, but a fundamentalist in the modern understanding of the word? The evidence they cite from Patrick Henry’s own words is less that convincing. The Faith of Our Fathers website claims Henry’s “faith was evident in his so-called ‘give me liberty or give me death’ speech.” But as it is unlikely that Henry himself wrote any part of that speech, this is not good evidence.
It is claimed, “Near the end of his life, he became more and more alarmed at the spread of deism and atheism coming from what he called France’s ‘godless revolution.’” Leaving aside that the French Revolution was inspired by its American cousin, and that the French clergy (and God-appointed monarchy) had abused its citizens and its power and privilege for centuries, there is little evidence, if this is true, that Henry did or said anything about this.
It is claimed, “Toward the end of his life, [Henry] reportedly read his Bible for hours at a time… and once said to a neighbor, ‘This book is worth all the books that ever were printed, and it has been my misfortune that I never found time to read it with the proper attention and feeling till lately. I trust in the mercy of heaven that it is not too late.’” But this quote, rather than establishing Patrick Henry’s fundamentalist bona fides, rather makes of him a religious slacker during the most productive period of his life!
It is claimed, “In a letter to his daughter dated August 20, 1796, [Henry] wrote:
Amongst other strange things said of me, I hear it is said by the deists that I am one of the number; and indeed, that some good people think I am no Christian. This thought gives me much more pain than the appellation of Tory; because I think religion of infinitely higher importance than politics; and I find much cause to reproach myself that I have lived so long, and have given no decided and public proofs of my being a Christian. But, indeed, my dear child, this is a character which I prize far above all this world has, or can boast.”
But, again, this shows that, in the absence of any positive statement during most of his life, Henry could quite possibly have been a Deist, for he found it not so important to disabuse anybody of this notion until three years before his death! Furthermore, at the end of his life, it is claimed, “On his death bed, Patrick Henry said: “Doctor, I wish you to observe how real and beneficial the religion of Christ is to a man about to die....I am, however, much consoled by reflecting that the religion of Christ has, from its first appearance in the world, been attacked in vain by all the wits, philosophers, and wise ones, aided by every power of man, and its triumphs have been complete.” Here we could have nothing more than a deathbed conversion.
Finally, it is claimed, “On November 20, 1798, in his Last Will and Testament, Patrick Henry wrote: “This is all the inheritance I give to my dear family. The religion of Christ will give them one which will make them rich indeed.” Yes, this is a testimony to his faith, but still rather late in the game.
Those are just the quotes that can be attested. But that is not enough for some who believe that Patrick Henry was not a strong enough Christian in his authentic words, so that they have to make some up. For example, in an e-mail about the faith of the American Founding Fathers, there is this:
Patrick Henry, that patriot and Founding Father of our country said, “It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded not by religionists but by Christians... not on religions but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ.”
The urban legends debunking website known as Snopes lists this as a “spurious quotation.” The site goes on to say, “These words appear nowhere in the writings or recorded utterances of Patrick Henry. They attached to Henry via an April 1956 article that appeared in The Virginian (reprinted in September 1956 in The American Mercury—a magazine co-founded by agnostic writer H.L. Mencken, who had, just that January, begun singing in the heavenly choir) in which a snippet from his will was followed by comments penned by the article's author. Those comments included the “founded by Christians” statement now mistakenly attributed to Henry.”
Patrick Henry’s place in American history as a patriot and revolutionist is assured, even if his true religious feelings remain an enigma, or at least a point of debate. But the “Liberty or Death” speech is neither evidence of the Christian origins of this nation, nor evidence of the religion of an American patriot.

Life span is defined as the observed age at death of an individual; maximum lifespan is the highest documented age at death for a species. From time to time we are told of a new highest documented age at death, as in the celebrated case of Madame Jeanne Calment of France who died at the age of 122.3 Although such an extreme age at death is exceedingly rare, the maximum life span of humans has continued to increase because world records for longevity can move in only one direction: higher. Despite this trend, however, it is almost certainly true that, at least since recorded history, people could have lived as long as those alive today if similar technologies, lifestyles and population sizes had been present. It is not people that have changed; it is the protected environments in which we live and the advances made in biomedical sciences and other human institutions that have permitted more people to attain, or more closely approach, their life-span potential.4 Longevity records are entertaining, but they have little relevance to our own lives because genetic, environmental and lifestyle diversity5 guarantees that an overwhelming majority of the population will die long before attaining the age of the longest-lived individual.

Two companies collaborate to boost independent cyber security firm
Intel Corporation and TPG recently announced an agreement under which both parties will collaborate to establish a newly formed and jointly-owned independent cyber security company.
The new company will be known as McAfee, and TPG will hold a 51 percent stake while Intel will hold the rest, valuing the business at approximately $4.2 billion. TPG is making a $1.1 billion equity investment to help drive growth and enhance the focus as a standalone business.
According to Intel, both companies will work together to position McAfee as a strong independent company with access to significant financial, operational and technology resources. The new investment from TPG and strategic backing from Intel is expected to enable McAfee to capitalise on significant global growth opportunities.
Intel CEO, Brian Krzanich says the new company will be one of the world’s largest pure-play cyber security companies.
“Security remains important in everything we do at Intel and going forward we will continue to integrate industry-leading security and privacy capabilities in our products from the cloud to billions of smart, connected computing devices,” says Krzanich. “As we collaborate with TPG to establish McAfee as an independent company, we will also share in the future success of the business and in the market demand for top-flight security solutions, creating long-term value for McAfee’s customers, partners, employees and Intel’s shareholders. Intel will continue our collaboration with McAfee as we offer safe and secure products to our customers.”
TPG partner, Brian Taylor affirms they look to partner with both established and emergent market leaders in dynamic and growing markets.
“We have long identified the cybersecurity sector, which has experienced strong growth due to the increasing volume and severity of cyberattacks, as one of the most important areas in technology,” Taylor says. “Given McAfee’s leading global market position, loyal customer base, and trusted technology, we see a compelling opportunity to invest in a highly-strategic platform that is growing consistently and addressing significant and evolving market demand.”
Intel senior vice president and Intel Security general manager, Chris Young will be appointed CEO of the company.
“As a standalone company supported by these two partners, we will be in an even greater position of strength, committed to being the best provider the cybersecurity industry has ever seen. We will continue to focus on solving the unique demands of customers in the dynamic cybersecurity marketplace, drive innovation that anticipates future market needs, and continue to grow through our strategic priorities,” Young concludes. | <urn:uuid:524402e0-ea9c-4a9d-88bc-4353ba19b439> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://remoteworkertech.asia/story/two-companies-collaborate-boost-independent-cyber-security-firm | 2020-07-11T18:22:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655934052.75/warc/CC-MAIN-20200711161442-20200711191442-00473.warc.gz | en | 0.943268 | 538 |
A university taking over a local school district is exceedingly rare – it’s only happened once before, with the private Boston University managing a nearby city district. And that collaboration lasted for 20 years. Now, some Indiana lawmakers want to give Muncie’s Ball State University permission to do the same with the city’s school district. Today, IPR’s Tony Sandleben explores what’s similar between the Massachusetts and Muncie plans – and what isn’t.
In 1989, the Massachusetts city of Chelsea had a few similarities to Muncie, including an FBI investigation to its city government, problems in the city budget and a struggling local school district.
To address at least one of those problems, the Chelsea Public Schools and Boston University signed a contract allowing BU to manage the school district.
“The schools committee invited us in and there was legislation giving the school committee the authority to bring us in, and we concluded in agreement where we did accept the responsibility to run the schools on a day-to-day basis.”
Doug Sears helped oversee Boston University’s school management team and, at one point, was appointed superintendent of the district.
While BU was invited into Chelsea schools, that’s not the case with Muncie Community Schools. An amendment to a bill in the Indiana House was discussed publicly in a legislative committee before school officials were even notified of the proposal.
In Massachusetts, Sears says there was tons of discussion.
“Tons. There was a lot of back and forth…It’s an irony. I would say if we were doing it over, I would suggest fewer people, just fewer bodies on the ground just because we kind of swarmed them.”
Another big difference between Massachusetts and the Ball State proposal in Indiana? Who will make up the school board.
“If I were a member of an elected school board today, I’d be asking myself what’s my status? If somehow we get into trouble, are we going to have the Indiana General Assembly take over our district? I’d be bothered about that.”
House Bill 1315 would replace Muncie’s elected school board with one appointed by Ball State and city officials. State Rep. Ed Delaney (D-Indianapolis) tried – and failed – to retain an elected board. But in Chelsea, the elected school board stayed intact.
“It’s important for the…whatever institution comes in that there’s a legitimate concern about local control, and even if the argument can be made that they bungled the job, they were duly elected. And the citizens of Muncie have a legitimate claim on some sort of opportunity to know what’s going on and why.”
Muncie’s school board has talked about what happens next, whether or not the bill passes the House, the entire General Assembly, and gets the governor’s signature.
“If our presence were to inhibit positive outcome, we’d resign.”
The Boston University/Chelsea Schools partnership lasted until 2008, just about 20 years. In that time, new schools were built, advanced placement testing was introduced, and music programs were added back to the school system.
“It was excruciating, but it was wonderful because it was the first time there had been an instrumental group in Chelsea’s recent history. The hall was packed for a concert with squeaky clarinets and some pitch issues, but it was magnificent.”
Ball State president Geoff Mearns says he sees the situation in Muncie to also enhance what is already being done in Muncie classrooms.
“The teachers in the Muncie Schools are doing an excellent job. We want to support their efforts and enhance their efforts not only in the classroom, but in that other time as well so I think that’s the way in which this can be more comprehensive as well as innovative and creative.”
In Massachusetts, Sears says BU helped in the classrooms… but there was also a learning curve.
“There’s a lot that comes out of universities in particular that doesn’t work on the ground in a classroom. As a guy who had never been through a teacher ed program, I find myself trying to understand all this mumbo jumbo about ‘how do you teach reading?,’ and my deepest regret is that I didn’t let my emperor’s new clothes reflex kick in early enough.”
Should the bill become law and Ball State’s Board of Trustees would take on the district’s management, that arrangement would begin in July.
The bill is on the full House agenda for consideration. | <urn:uuid:e92f2734-8012-4337-b220-dcc54339f87f> | CC-MAIN-2020-45 | https://indianapublicradio.org/news/2018/01/lessons-from-a-university-school-collaboration/ | 2020-10-28T07:57:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-45/segments/1603107897022.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20201028073614-20201028103614-00578.warc.gz | en | 0.977979 | 993 |

It's been more than a month since my last post, and there was so much change in my world happening.
From the last month since the very bad disaster of tsunami, earthquake and radioactive leaks, I was forced to return home to my hometown in Makassar. I was very sad to leave Japan, and seems like all my plan for the future has been dashed.
Anyway, I'm still very grateful to the Lord for still letting me alive, and blessed me with a wonderful family that really cares for my well-being. I don't know what He stored for me in the future, but looks like I won't be back in Japan until May now.
So well while I am still in Indonesia, I decided to make the best of this opportunity and met some of my old friends in Jakarta, some are from my high school friends and some from my previous university in Jakarta before I went to Japan. We had quite a time, and I was glad to see my friends that was married several months ago. Wish the best for them and their future too!
After four days in Jakarta, I arrived in Makassar. My mother was sick because she worried about me, and she was still coughing when I met her. I brought her to the doctor and thank God gradually her health gets better again, now she doesn't cough anymore. Still I don't know if I ever allowed to return to Japan permanently, as long as the radiation leaks don't get controlled I won't get permission to stay in Japan.
So I'm in the middle of pathways now, should I return to Japan in spite of the resistance from my family, and risk repeating the same problem in the future, or staying in Makassar?
Of course there is no easy way, and once I've decided it will affect my future from now on. | <urn:uuid:3f669d14-87fa-4d76-9bc9-e20923af0bdb> | CC-MAIN-2018-30 | http://wave-humility.blogspot.com/2011/04/long-time-no-post.html | 2018-07-17T21:21:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-30/segments/1531676589902.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20180717203423-20180717223423-00430.warc.gz | en | 0.988246 | 374 |
THIS LEG OF MINE
I walk – my attention is moving from
proverbial ‘pillar to post’
as the nuance of the leg of my body
like some orchestral arrangement
suggests a note here and a note there
of feeling stroke pain stroke blood vessel-operatic voice
– all delivered musically in the auditorium of my leg.
It feels this way, it feels that way,
it says stop and sit. It is told to stop and walk.
It presents a million lies as to
what is happening below the surface,
as though laughing:
‘I’ve got you, you ignorant,
Playing on my ignorance,
it shows me varicose vein mountain ranges
of curly wurly bar obtrusions as though to say:
‘What a mess, – you must concede,
– you must concede and submit.’
No. I will go on…go on in faith. | <urn:uuid:78013f24-0ba4-44b1-af6b-ba9d1c3ca3b5> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | https://seedsinmotiontruthnart.wordpress.com/2016/01/28/this-leg-of-mine/ | 2017-11-20T04:08:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934805911.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20171120032907-20171120052907-00235.warc.gz | en | 0.867102 | 204 |

Britain’s auto industry, which lost its last major homegrown manufacturer in 2005, is back among Europe’s top producers following an Asia-inspired revival led by Japan’s Nissan Motor Co. and Tata Motors Ltd. of India.
Land Rover , the luxury SUV brand whose customers include Tom Cruise and Queen Elizabeth II , needs to develop greener versions of all its models to sustain sales, the head of Indian owner Tata Motors Ltd. said.
Aston Martin, the maker of sports cars favored by Prince Charles and driven by James Bond, is departing from tradition with a city car based on Toyota Motor Corp.'s iQ subcompact to broaden its appeal and boost revenue.
Tata Motors Ltd., owner of the Jaguar and Land Rover brands, is being forced to search for a new chief executive officer as it struggles to revive sales of luxury cars amid a worsening debt crisis in Europe.
Britain’s iconic MG sports-car brand began producing its first new model in the U.K. in 16 years today using bodyshells, engines and powertrains shipped from China by Shanghai-based parent SAIC Motor Corp.

Back from our first European tour and it was a blast! The shows all went fantastic, got to play with tons of amazing bands, 4 awesome festivals (including one in Slovenia where we got to play on pier in the Adriatic with stormy seas as a backdrop), lots of old and new friends and got to share the road with the unstoppable tour-boss Ingo and Sailing On!
Thanks so much if you made it out to any of the shows or festivals to see us and say, “Hi!”, especially if you hitch-hiked from Lithuania to Berlin! Also, had a great opportunity to play all the new songs from our upcoming Kafka LP and ‘The Thinker’ from Rodin as well. Taking it easy for the summer and then hoping to get into the studio this Fall for a release next year! | <urn:uuid:a2fa6060-a6b3-473a-9577-b58f2cb1e15b> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | https://locktender.wordpress.com/2012/07/30/home/ | 2017-06-27T14:09:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128321426.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20170627134151-20170627154151-00440.warc.gz | en | 0.965732 | 174 |
A Brief Blog Profile: Anali’s First Amendment
Anali’s First Amendment starts with her made-up email name, Anali. She found out later that it actually has a Hindi meaning -- fiery.
"I wanted freedom to write about anything that I wanted," Johnson said. "To have my own personal forum. I thought about what allows us Americans to say what we want. To have the freedom to speak and express ourselves. Freedom of speech. The first amendment. And the name of my blog was born."
Johnson also notes the blog's motto, a quote by Rumi: "Let yourself be silently drawn by the stronger pull of what you really love."
"My blog is this quote in action," she says. Anali’s First Amendment features a recipes index, life list and places to visit. | <urn:uuid:4706d79c-9be1-4a42-89d3-14e531916be0> | CC-MAIN-2015-35 | http://www.prnewswire.com/bloggers/posts/A-Brief-Blog-Profile-Analis-First-Amendment.html | 2015-08-31T05:36:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-35/segments/1440644065534.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20150827025425-00040-ip-10-171-96-226.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.967378 | 173 |
You had questions, we provided answers in this week’s Mizzou Mailbag.
I’m remain shocked at few questions there are about football compared to basketball, but away we go.
24mizzou, there have been plenty of rumors that Michigan was interested. The Wolverines tried to talk to Pinkel in 2011 before hiring Brady Hoke, but he never interviewed for the job.
I think Pinkel is happy here. He’s fashioned quite a legacy for himself, and it’s only getting better. It’s hard to envision him leaving unless he’s just really eager for a new challenge. But there are plenty of challenges remaining for Missouri in the SEC.
CJ, lack of inside presence will hamstring off all season. Mizzou can shoot from deep, but it's hard to rely on that nightly. Def must improve.
Finally, there was clarity with freshman forward Jakeenan Gant’s situation Saturday as he was reinstated. He was always expected to play this season, but it was unclear when that might happen. The thinking was it might be closer to the end of December, but nine games is pretty standard anymore for a receiving impermissible benefits investigation.
That said, it’s hard to picture a 2015 starting lineup that doesn’t includes Johnathan Williams III or Montaque Gill-Caesar.
Alex, the scruff stays until it irritates me to the point I shave it or winter ends … unless my wife shaves me in my sleep. For what it’s worth, she says she hates it every November 1, but by this time of year has decided it makes me looked ruggedly handsome, so I don’t need to sleep with one eye open.
Jason, nothing more will happen until after the beginning of the year. Missouri will undertake a scope analysis in January to figure out what’s feasible for the project. After that, the project would need approval from the MU System Board of Curators. It would then have to be bid. The next step after a contract was awarded would be the design phase and finally construction, which wouldn’t start until after the 2015 season at the earliest.
Jam Boogie, I think we did all right. | <urn:uuid:bb7b0a82-604a-4865-8a4a-18de41a51dd7> | CC-MAIN-2018-17 | http://www.kansascity.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/campus-corner/article4468122.html | 2018-04-27T04:42:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-17/segments/1524125949036.99/warc/CC-MAIN-20180427041028-20180427061028-00124.warc.gz | en | 0.977698 | 470 |
Aluminum Group Management Chair in Black Mesh
A design by the great Charles & Ray Eames that’s become a rightfully predominant symbol of Mid-Century design. The Aluminum Group Collection was kicked off in 1958 with the intention of exploring lightweight lounge furniture that was durable enough to exist in spaces both indoors and outdoors. With advancements made with the use of Aluminum in their projects, Charles & Ray designed a cast frame onto which a “sling” of material was wrapped. Never before had the notion of solid shell seating been tampered with until this design revolution. Not only was this design perfect for any environment but the users body is simply cradled as the design conforms to it. Charles & Ray expanded their design discovery across an entire collection of furniture which is now known as the Aluminum Group Collection, and is quite evidently a model of inspiration for all contemporary office furniture today. This chair is equipped with manual height adjustment, tilt with tension control, and a swivel base.
Creator Charles & Ray Eames for Herman Miller, 1958

When is conduct a crime, and when is a crime not a crime? When Somebody Up There -- a monarch, a dictator, a Pope, a legislator -- so decrees.
To try to raise a son from inside the prison walls is a very difficult thing. But I want to say to the world my son at 16 was the one who tried the most to get me out of prison.
No man survives when freedom fails. The best men rot in filthy jails, and those who cry 'appease, appease' are hanged by those they tried to please.
We shall not yield to violence. We shall not be deprived of union freedoms. We shall never agree with sending people to prison for their convictions.
To make punishments efficacious, two things are necessary. They must never be disproportioned to the offence, and they must be certain.
There are few better measures of the concern a society has for its individual members and its own well being than the way it handles criminals.
The English laws punish vice; the Chinese laws do more, they reward virtue.
Wicked deeds are generally done, even with impunity, for the mere desire of occupation.
I was put into jail as I was going to the shoemaker's to get a shoe which was mended. When I was let out the next morning, I proceeded to finish my errand, and, having put on my mended shoe, joined a huckleberry party, who were impatient to put themselves under my conduct; and in half an hour -- for the horse was soon tackled -- was in the midst of a huckleberry field, on one of our highest hills, two miles off, and then the State was nowhere to be seen.
They took away my money, my family, and my security. Why couldn't they destroy my ideas? We will question them in court tomorrow as we trigger The Revolution of all revolutions!
Adversities such as being homeless and going to prison has made many people stronger.
Kill a man, and you are an assassin. Kill millions of men, and you are a conqueror. Kill everyone, and you are a God.
Fast closed with double grills
And triple gates – the cell
To wicked souls is hell;
But to a mind that's innocent
'Tis only iron, wood and stone.
The difference between tax avoidance and tax evasion is the thickness of a prison walls.
One of the problems that the marijuana reform movement consistently faces is that everyone wants to talk about what marijuana does, but no one ever wants to look at what marijuana prohibition does. Marijuana never kicks down your door in the middle of the night. Marijuana never locks up sick and dying people, does not suppress medical research, does not peek in bedroom windows. Even if one takes every reefer madness allegation of the prohibitionists at face value, marijuana prohibition has done far more harm to far more people than marijuana ever could.
Every crime has, in the moment of its perpetration, Its own avenging angel--dark misgiving, An ominous sinking at the inmost heart.
There is no greater punishment of wickedness that that it is dissatisfied with itself and its deeds.
Since 1957, black people have experienced double-digit unemployment - in good times and bad times. Look at the population of African Americans in prison. They represent more than half the population of prisoners in the country, 55 percent of those on death row.
Whatever is worthy to be loved for anything is worthy of preservation. A wise and dispassionate legislator, if any such should ever arise among men, will not condemn to death him who has done or is likely to do more service than injury to society. Blocks and gibbets are the nearest objects with legislators, and their business is never with hopes or with virtues. | <urn:uuid:192b2324-7b7d-4e80-a075-501efdc3e1ab> | CC-MAIN-2021-31 | https://writeaprisoner.com/prison-quotes/AuthorList.aspx?page=4&rate=kvBTvU4Zo42p_s83cFw04mZaCQzA2loRmewg7-2gPnM | 2021-08-01T21:25:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-31/segments/1627046154219.62/warc/CC-MAIN-20210801190212-20210801220212-00181.warc.gz | en | 0.971833 | 779 |

To truly leverage mobile marketing, it takes three crucial elements — the right plan, the right technology to power that plan, and great creative ideas to make use of that technology for the customer’s benefit
We sat down with Michael Fauscette, Chief Research Officer, G2 Crowd, to give you ideas for your brand’s mobile marketing strategy — discussing everything from AR and beacons to single view of the customer to data-driven marketing to vendor selection.
by Daniel Burstein, Senior Director, Content & Marketing, MarketingSherpa and MECLABS Institute
Fauscette’s insights are based on nearly 600,000 reviews and 18.6 million data points. He says these reviews are more akin to in-depth surveys than simple Yelp reviews. And he describes G2 as a website where “buyers can come in and do research and help figure out how to solve their business problems with technology.”
Here are a few highlights from our conversation, with timestamps if you want to skip around …
You need a comprehensive, end-to-end plan
Software isn’t magic. You can’t just buy software and expect to get phenomenal mobile marketing results.
“There are some great mobile marketing platforms that help you with parts. But underneath that, you really do have to have a plan that says … how do I tie all these pieces together so that I know you, Dan, you in a loyalty program, versus you on Facebook, versus you in my store? And how do I put that whole picture together so that I can actually do this in real time and offer you something or come back to you with some sort of value that you want to react to?” Fauscette said. (3:42)
That software needs to play well together
The customer journey is complex, and the technological infrastructure to track and serve the customer can be equally difficult. Fauscette mentioned the $6.5 billion acquisition by SalesForce of MuleSoft, an integration platform for connecting SaaS and enterprise applications, as an example of where the market is headed to address these challenges.
“The fact that you have 33 solutions in your MarTech stack today, that's a problem, because likely 32 of them don't talk to each other.” (5:12)
Customers expect value for their data
Data privacy is a sensitive subject of late, with new GDRP regulations in Europe, and Facebook under so much heat that Mark Zuckerberg was dragged in front of Congress (and had to explain to Senator Orrin Hatch how Facebook makes money even though it’s free — pregnant pause … "Senator, we run ads.” … smirk)
One way to overcome customer anxieties is to use that data in a customer-first manner.
“I’m willing to give you data if I get that sort of value back. If I walk into the store and you're offering me 20% off on the thing that I was thinking about, I might wonder how you knew that. But in the end, I'm getting value out of that, so I'm happy in the relationship as long as you didn't sell my data,” Fauscette said. (8:40)
With the right data and technology in place, mobile can be a creative playground
While our conversation skewed toward technology and data, let’s not overlook the unique power the right mobile tech and metrics have for informing and powering creative experiences.
Fauscette mentioned Niantic’s Pokémon Go augmented reality mobile game as an exemplar of mobile’s unique immersive capabilities that marketers can leverage.
“I can augment your experience so that you go into a store, it knows you, you can interact with me and I can interact with the store in a way that is creative and interesting to me and helps me understand some features of a gadget I want to buy, or it helps me understand how I might look in this outfit,” he said. (10:19)
Choosing the right technology to help power your brand’s mobile marketing
Picking the right technology to underpin your mobile marketing is a difficult and crucial step that powers everything else you do. In any vendor selection situation, a common mistake is to ask about the overall best software and service.
Instead, try to understand the best solution for your specific business/situation/objectives. To that end, Fauscette suggests you learn from your peers.
“Get real data from people who use the solution for the thing you want. People like you. People in the same sort of business as you. Marketers that are in a similar industry that are solving this same problem. And find out what they did to solve their problem. What's their stack? What tools are they using?” (12:45)

Dog Abdominal Pain
Dogs are very hyper animals and since their actions are not normally monitored very closely, stomachaches may occasionally occur due to several reasons. Some of these pains are caused by eating grass, consuming too much food, or just eating the wrong kinds of food. As a result, the pain can be treated differently in every occasion.
Dog Abdominal Pain Symptoms And Remedies
- Stomach pain caused by too much food ingested may be remedied with a bit of hydration and some physical activity.
- Pains brought about by the type of food a dog has eaten may be solved as soon as the food is digested and should not be given again to the animal.
- Dog stomach ache remedies are often easy to come by except in situations that are more than the simple stomachaches.
- Gastric torsion is one of the abdominal pains that require the attention of a vet. Typical symptoms of the condition include crying, refusal to eat, vomiting, arching of the canine’s back, difficulty breathing, and shaking. This condition is often found in dogs that are deep-chested.
- Liver disease is another serious condition that causes abdominal pains in dogs. Usual symptoms include gastrointestinal flare-ups, vomiting, constipation, loss of appetite, and whimpering.
- Presence of ulcers in the stomach of the dog. This is where the mucous membrane of the stomach is damaged and is often inflamed. This condition is often brought about by the presence of possible medications like ibuprofen, NSAIDs, and aspirin. This condition may often be linked with kidney problems or even stress in part of the dog.
Sometimes it may seem like the dog is just crying or being sad.

England is now subject to National lockdown: Stay at Home restrictions. You must stay at home.
A new campaign to highlight the signs of domestic abuse in the run up to Christmas and New Year, has been launched by the Safer Portsmouth Partnership.
Is This Love? aims to raise awareness about all forms of domestic abuse, including emotional and financial, which often go unrecognised. The campaigns asks individuals to consider whether their relationship is healthy, or whether it could be abusive.
As well as pressures around Christmas, the impact of lockdown this year has had a significant impact on many individuals living with domestic abuse.
Clare Jenkins, Portsmouth Superintendent for Hampshire Constabulary, said: “This campaign is particularly pertinent at this time of the year when we know that the number of domestic abuse cases reported increase. It’s important to be working together to ensure that anyone suffering from domestic abuse knows where to get help.”
A few year ago, Kirsty Mellor, from Portsmouth, found the courage to leave an abusive relationship.
“It didn’t begin with physical violence,” she said. “It was subtle and gradual – to the point everything I did throughout my daily routine I had him in mind; from tins stacked front-facing and toothpaste squeezed correctly to gravy made with water first. He dictated the way I did everything and anything.
“When he was cross he would hurl abuse at me. He was always sorry after, but that didn’t break the cycle and the violence soon escalated to physical abuse.”
Tackling domestic abuse has been a priority for the Safer Portsmouth Partnership for more than a decade, and there is always an increased demand for support around this time of the year; more so with the impact of the pandemic.
Cllr Lee Hunt, Cabinet Member for Community Safety at Portsmouth City Council, said: “Together with many partners city-wide, from all backgrounds and ages, our work to reduce and prevent domestic abuse will never stop.
“40% of all assaults in Portsmouth take place in a family setting, and witnessing violence is a risk factor for perpetrating violence and/or experiencing further abuse – so it’s paramount that we do everything we can, particularly during such difficult times and at this time of the year, to raise awareness of abusive behaviours and ensure people know where they can go to get help.”
The domestic abuse service for Hampshire, Stop Domestic Abuse, supports anyone affected by unhealthy and abusive relationships. The team run a helpline from 9am-9pm, Monday to Friday, and 10am-6pm weekends and bank holidays.
Cllr Matthew Winnington, Cabinet Member for Health, Wellbeing and Social Care at Portsmouth City Council and Chair of Portsmouth Health and Wellbeing Board, said:
“During lockdown, we continued to provide support for families and individuals experiencing abuse, and made extra funding available for the city’s domestic abuse service, Stop Domestic Abuse – to help manage the increased demand. If anyone is experiencing domestic abuse and needs support, we’d encourage them to reach out. Stop Domestic Abuse are here to help seven days a week.”
If you need support, call Stop Domestic Abuse, on: 023 9206 5494 or email firstname.lastname@example.org. If it’s an emergency, always call 999.
Find out if your relationship is healthy by taking a short online survey at www.isthislove.org.uk.
Safer Portsmouth Partnership is a group of public organisations – including the council and the police – responsible for reducing crime and substance misuse in Portsmouth; ensuring that the city stays a safe place to live in, work in and visit. The Partnership is part of the Portsmouth Health and Wellbeing Board. | <urn:uuid:ea32f0d3-1c7d-42be-8480-39f1f70aab97> | CC-MAIN-2021-04 | https://www.portsmouth.gov.uk/2020/12/16/domestic-abuse-campaign-asks-is-this-love-or-is-it-domestic-abuse/ | 2021-01-25T10:50:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-04/segments/1610703565541.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20210125092143-20210125122143-00506.warc.gz | en | 0.952289 | 792 |
Hi Master Lee,
Thanks for the detailed explanation. We have decided to go with the altar position B as A is the only place we have for a dining area.
I would ask master's advice on something I read in a few sites implying hat the altar has to have two handles or pillars in this instance of my family going with the B position, on the right side of the altar when I am facing it is a wall while the other side is the entrance and main door of the house. Is there something we could do or need to do do to ensure the altar has two handles or pillars for it.
Further to that is there any advise you have as to the water fairy or water spirit direction when it comes to the altar.
I am not even sure if it's necessary but I would like to learn more on how to properly position an altar.
Thank you master for your reply once again. | <urn:uuid:e65aa4c1-b9c0-423c-b961-32cd2bd5c03b> | CC-MAIN-2019-18 | https://www.geomancy.net/forums/profile/27701-myfs_162650/ | 2019-04-21T00:16:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-18/segments/1555578530100.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20190421000555-20190421022555-00408.warc.gz | en | 0.969312 | 185 |

"Theme Attic" featuring Spring & April Fool's Day, Thursday 10-Noon, March 31st
This week's Theme Attic show will feature its first songs of Spring while focusing on April Fool's Day themes of fools and silly (strange?) songs. "The Fish Is in the Freezer" and a "Ship of Fools" is waiting to dock. In addition, there will be a birthday party for Johann Sebastian Bach. And you know that Peter Schickele will have to crash the party with P.D.Q. Bach for at least one song! So, everything from classical to kiddie songs-from Bach to Alvin & The Chipmunks will be covered on Theme Attic this week. There will also be another artist selected as a new member of the Theme Attic Hall of Fame-one who has recorded many silly songs over the years. It's the kind of musical mayhem that DJ Phil Maq organizes every week. Tune in on Thursday morning, March 31st at 10:00 AM to see how he does it. | <urn:uuid:fbd2c351-673b-4b28-bff3-d731be3335fc> | CC-MAIN-2013-48 | http://whfr.fm/news/2011/03/30/theme-attic-featuring-spring-april-fools-day-thursday-10-noon-march-31st | 2013-12-12T10:13:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-48/segments/1386164579146/warc/CC-MAIN-20131204134259-00098-ip-10-33-133-15.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.964459 | 219 |
bc 49, tu 83
Robinson collects 11th career double-double but Bluffton falls 83-49 at TransylvaniaBy Scott Van Eman
February 15, 2003
[ Statistics ]
Bluffton College lost to the Heartland Conference leading Transylvania University Pioneers 83-49 Saturday afternoon in Lexington, Kentucky. The Beavers held a 14-13 lead with 9:37 left in the first half but were unable to maintain it despite shooting nearly six percent better than the Pioneers in the first half.
Bluffton falls to 2-20 overall and 1-12 in the Heartland Conference. Transylvania improves to 19-3 overall and 10-2 in the HCAC.
Bluffton shot 36.7% from the floor and 66.7% from the free throw line against Transylvania, who attempted 33 three-pointers in the game to mark the most attempts from 3-point range that BC has seen yet this season.
Senior Lyndsey Robinson led Bluffton with 15 points on 6-for-12 shooting from the field and 3-for-4 shooting from the free throw line. Robinson also pulled down 11 rebounds to collect the 11th double-double of her career. Bluffton leading scorer Melissa James was held to six points in the game but was the next-highest scorer.
Three Transy players scored in double-figures, led by 15 points from Katie Boaz.
Bluffton will take on Heartland Conference rival Defiance this Wednesday at 7 p.m. in Founders Hall and will then travel to Thomas More next Saturday to finish up regular season play. The first round of the Heartland Conference tournament is slated for February 25. | <urn:uuid:e0d8c020-ff6a-46c1-93e5-065c0b72db26> | CC-MAIN-2013-48 | http://bluffton.edu/athletics/womensbasketball/2003/02-15transy.html | 2013-12-10T17:00:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-48/segments/1386164022328/warc/CC-MAIN-20131204133342-00068-ip-10-33-133-15.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.955434 | 356 |
Officials who make false reports about anti-poverty achievements will be punished and prosecuted if the fraud is severe, a senior official said on May 10.
“Some villages where more than 10 percent of the people still live in poverty have applied to be removed from the list of poor villages,” said Liu Yongfu, director of the State Council Leading Group of Poverty Alleviation and Development.
“You can’t discount poor people in the anti-poverty battle just because it brings political accolades for local officials,” Liu said at a news conference of the State Council Information Office.
Third-party evaluations will be carried out on counties wanting to be removed from the poverty list, Liu said.
China has 592 counties on the national poverty list.
According to a new guideline issued late last month, poor families can be removed from the poverty record if they have stable income, compulsory education and basic health insurance, as well as a roof over their heads.
Their information will be publicized in the village after it is reviewed by the local government, and then they will be removed from the poverty record.
In the central region, a village or county can be removed from the poverty list if less than 2 percent of the population lives under the poverty line.
In the western region, the rate is 3 percent.
China aims to lift its remaining 55 million poor people out of poverty by 2020. In the past 30 years, China has lifted 70 million people out of poverty.
In the past, many local government officials reported false numbers to qualify for more financial aid from the central government and provincial governments, Liu said in an earlier report.
“Local governments should not include villagers as impoverished just to get more financial aid,” Liu said.
As China has made poverty alleviation one of its priorities for the next five years, officials who meet poverty-relief targets have more chances for promotion, while those who fail will be recalled and replaced, according to the government. | <urn:uuid:3624a240-e0f8-4fce-849c-afd782717e00> | CC-MAIN-2018-09 | http://english.gov.cn/news/top_news/2016/05/11/content_281475346548384.htm | 2018-02-21T15:30:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-09/segments/1518891813626.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20180221143216-20180221163216-00331.warc.gz | en | 0.953708 | 410 |
Abuja – Prof. Chinyere Ohiri-Aniche, the President of Linguistic Association of Nigeria (LAN), on Tuesday in Abuja, said about 400 Nigerian indigenous languages were endangered.
Ohiri-Aniche made the disclosure at the UNESCO International Mother Language Day Celebration organised by the Ministry of Education in collaboration with LAN entitled; “Local Languages for Global Citizenship: Spotlight on Science.’’
She said the languages were endangered due to past neglect and denigration, adding that some languages had already become extinct, while 152 languages were on the verge of being extinct.
“Our greater concern however is that our languages are not being handed over to children in homes and schools.
“Researches show that on the average, 25 per cent of children below 11 years are unable to speak their parent’s indigenous language.
“If this trend is not checked, then Nigerian languages will be in extinction in two to three generations, that is in 50 to 75 years time.’’
She called on stakeholders, schools, telecommunication agencies, media establishments, UNESCO and other international organisations to take drastic actions to prevent the death of indigenous Nigerian mother tongues.
According to her, parents must learn to speak to their children in the indigenous language.
She also called on schools to ensure that every child was taught his or her mother tongue in primary and secondary schools as prescribed in the National Policy on Education since 1977.
Ohiri-Aniche said that the Ministry of Education and the Nigeria Educational Research and Development Council should reinstate Nigerian languages as core subjects in the senior secondary school curriculum.
She said that the federal and states ministries of culture and national orientation should also promote entertainment and other cultural activities in Nigerian languages.
The LAN president urged the National Assembly and state houses of assembly and other stakeholders to urgently convene a National Language Policy Summit.
The summit, she noted, would provide a forum where Nigerians would decide if indigenous languages should be allowed to die or be safeguarded.
“The summit will also lead to the enactment of a comprehensive national language policy for Nigeria,’’ she added.
Ohiri-Aniche said that the association believed that with the right political and popular will, Nigerian languages would be pulled back from the brink of extinction.
“They will go on to regain their vibrancy and once more, play their rightful roles in all aspects of our individual and collective lives, right into the 22 century,’’ she said.
She commended UNESCO for exposing the challanges facing Nigerian indigenous languages.
Hassana Halidu, the Regional Representative of UNESCO, said the celebration of the day was important in order to educate Nigerians on the use of mother tongue.
Halidu urged the Federal Government to revitalise the use of indigenous languages in schools as a way of creating peace and harmony in the country.
She said UNESCO would be partnering with the ministry and other stakeholders to revitalise the use of indigenous languages in the country.

1:30 – 2:45 pm: Room 202, Western New England MFA Annex, Level 2
Women Writing Violence. (Aimee Parkison, Alissa Nutting, Gretchen Henderson, Lily Hoang) Studies of violent literature often focus on the world of masculine literature, the so-called literature for men. But the trend of women writing violence is often ignored. This discussion of violent literature by women writers focuses on female violence in fiction and questions how violent literature by women compares to violent literature by men. In the trend of women writing violence, does the role of the victim change based on gender? Or, is it the reader’s perception that changes?
Saturday, March 1st

10:30 – 11:45 am: Room 612, Washington State Convention Center, Level 6
Queer Translation. (Joyelle McSweeney, Johannes Goransson, Don Mee Choi, Lucas DeLima, Jeffrey Angles) As translators, artists, scholars, and performers, we’ll consider how ‘queer translation’ might host a queer interaction or strange meeting; how it might undermine nationalist demarcations of the body, including binaries separating male and female, able and disabled, human and inhuman, whole and partial bodies; the force of translation as a ‘political uncanny’; and whether translation itself might figure a queer or middle body, an activist body, a political resource.
10:30 – 11:45 am: Room 615/616/617, Washington State Convention Center, Level 6
Hyphenated Poets: Ethnic American Writing Against Type. (Kaveh Bassiri, Barbara Jane Reyes, Cathy Park Hong, Farid Matuk, Solmaz Sharif) While immigrant poets have long sought to recover and celebrate their ethnic identity, a new generation is problematizing the notion of identity and what it means to be American. These poets respond to socially constructed types that marginalize them to fulfill diversity quotas, and they seize the English language to interrogate the myth of American essentialism. In this reading and discussion, we will hear four writers respond to these challenges with poetry.
10:30 – 11:45 am: Room 618/619/620, Washington State Convention Center, Level 6
Rethinking the Poetry Workshop: Innovating and Subverting Traditional Creative Writing Pedagogy. (Michael Dumanis, Mark Wunderlich, April Bernard, Kazim Ali, Joshua Marie Wilkinson) The poetry workshop, essentially a moderated session of peer critique of student drafts in which the writer stays largely silent, has been the trusted model in creative writing pedagogy since the advent of creative writing programs. Five professors of poetry discuss the pros and cons of the traditional workshop as the primary teaching tool in the poetry writing classroom, suggest unconventional workshop techniques, and consider alternate ways to approach the teaching of creative writing.
4:30 – 5:45 pm: Room 301, Western New England MFA Annex, Level 3
Small is the New Big: Publishing Story Collections with Independent Presses. (Anne Valente, Molly Patterson, Alissa Nutting, Tim Horvath, Gabriel Blackwell) Despite the rumors, story collections do sell. The contemporary publishing world is a rich marketplace for fiction writers, with independent presses taking up where the New York houses have left off. This panel explores the benefits of publishing story collections with small presses, the various paths to doing so, the process throughout, and the many opportunities offered for where to go next. Writers publishing with Bellevue, Dzanc, Five Chapters, Press 53, and Starcherone will present.

Potting is the mechanical or manual method of pouring the liquid compound into the device equipped with electronic components and circuits, and curing it under normal temperature or heating conditions to become a thermosetting polymer insulating material with excellent performance. There are three main types of common potting glues, namely polyurethane potting glue, silicone potting glue and epoxy resin potting glue.
Gel and filler pads
The main function of the potting compound is to displace air voids and ensure proper heat transfer. However, potting glue is not the only solution. In addition to using potting glue, gap filler pads are also a widely used method.
Both the filler pad and the potting compound provide effective thermal management methods. Although filler pads have a longer history, the latest developments in potting adhesives have surpassed the performance of filler pads in some cases. Below, we will compare the two materials in depth.
The first is filling capacity. Both materials can be conformed to a certain extent, but the maximum configurability of the gap pad is less than that of the potting compound due to its solid structure.
Followed by precision and shape. The advantage of filler pads is that they can be cut into the exact shape of customer parts, but in complex scenarios, such as many devices and mixed lines, the filler pads can only cover the surface, and the gaps inside the devices need other fillers to fill. .
The potting glue is filled and shaped by pouring and smearing. During the process, the polymers are tightly connected to form a good adhesive force and will not be easily pulled apart by external forces. Therefore, the shape of the potting compound is actually the compressed shape, which helps to determine and control the ease of application and any diffusion caused by it.
Look at the cost aspect. From the perspective of application scenarios, potting glue has universal applicability, and filling pads are more customized in batches, so the automation of potting glue is a significant advantage. In contrast to the filling pad, the operator needs to know its direction when placing it. There are top and bottom sides, and in many cases, there are left and right directions and up and down directions. Manual pad application will bring a greater risk of human error. Therefore, in the case of rising labor costs, the cost advantage of potting glue will become more obvious.
Of course, the cost should not only consider the operating cost, but also the cost of the raw materials themselves. In the early stages of development, the cost of almost all types of encapsulants was higher than that of filler pads. However, after continuous optimization by raw material manufacturers, in a broad sense, compared with comparable filler pads, potting glue is often cheaper in the same volume.
For a long time, filling pads have been the first choice of electronic engineers, but now the advantages of potting glue make the former’s living space smaller and smaller, can provide excellent performance, easier to manufacture and assemble, and in some large Lower cost in batch applications.
Potting glue classification and advantages/disadvantages
There are many types of electronic potting glue, but as we mentioned above, polyurethane potting glue, silicone potting glue and epoxy resin potting glue are the three mainstream products.
Epoxy resin is the main component of epoxy resin potting glue, generally composed of bisphenol A epoxy resin, curing agent (amine or acid anhydride), reinforcing additives and fillers.
The main advantages of epoxy resin encapsulants are low viscosity, strong impregnation, and can fill components and lines; good performance, long pot life, suitable for mass automatic production line operations; filling and curing process, fillers and other powder The body component has small sedimentation and no delamination; the curing exothermic peak is low, and the curing shrinkage is small; the potting compound has the properties of flame retardancy, weather resistance, and heat conduction; it has good adhesion to a variety of materials and low water absorption. The disadvantage of epoxy resin encapsulant is its weak resistance to cold and heat changes. After curing, the colloid has a higher hardness and is relatively brittle, which is a “lifetime” product.
The main components of silicone encapsulant are silicone resin, cross-linking agent, catalyst and thermal conductive material, etc., including one-component silicone encapsulant and two-component silicone encapsulant. The silicone potting compound can be added with some functional fillers to give it properties such as electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, and magnetic conductivity.
The main advantages of silicone encapsulants include no by-products and no shrinkage during the curing process; excellent electrical insulation properties and resistance to high and low temperatures (-50℃～200℃); after curing, the adhesive is semi-solid and has excellent properties The anti-cold and heat alternating performance; after AB mixing, there is a longer operating time, such as accelerated curing can be heated, and the curing time can be controlled; the gel can automatically heal after being cracked by external force, and it also plays a role of sealing and does not affect the use Effect: With excellent repair capability, the sealed components can be taken out for repair and replacement quickly and easily. The disadvantage of silicone encapsulant is that the bonding performance is slightly poor.
Polyurethane potting glue, also known as PU potting glue, is usually composed of polyols and diisocyanates of oligomers such as polyester, polyether and polydiene, with glycols or diamines as chain extenders, and gradually polymerizes them. become.
Polyurethane potting materials are characterized by low hardness, moderate strength, good elasticity, water resistance, mildew resistance, shock resistance, transparency, excellent electrical insulation and flame resistance, no corrosion to electrical components, and resistance to steel, aluminum, copper, and tin Other metals, as well as rubber, plastic, wood and other materials have good adhesion. The potting material can protect the installed and debugged electronic components and circuits from vibration, corrosion, humidity and dust. Disadvantages are poor high temperature resistance and easy foaming, weak UV resistance, easy to discolor the colloid, easy to absorb moisture before curing, and the operating environment is required to be dry. | <urn:uuid:24d07f84-6f10-45fc-9ef8-aab75d5f9c86> | CC-MAIN-2022-21 | https://www.gmchemic.com/in-depth-interpretation-of-electronic-materials-potting-glue/ | 2022-05-28T07:11:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-21/segments/1652663013003.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20220528062047-20220528092047-00217.warc.gz | en | 0.928996 | 1,332 |

I’ve sometimes thought that if we ever renovate the kitchen I’ll remove everything (to dining room, basement). Then just bring back items as I use them. Hubby would be unlikely to go along though.
@gouf78 I love that spoon rest. My husband put it in my stocking one year for Christmas. It is great!!!
I have a smoothie every morning, so keep all those supplies (plant protein, mini-blender) along with my morning coffee supplies in a cabinet next to my stove. That way all the clutter is off the counter and morning stuff is together.
I also have three main shelves in my pantry labeled snacks, breakfast, cooking supplies. If I don’t adhere to that delineation it becomes chaos lol.
In terms of gadgets - we are getting new cabinets so in preparation have chucked a bunch of old gadgets I never use! Some of the ones on this thread seem great, tho!
That’s exactly what we did when we had our cabinets painted. Everything OUT. Only things we use back.
Best organizer…we have a counter depth fridge. It’s not as deep as a regular one, so we don’t lose things on the back…because they aren’t as far back!
Not sure this counts as a “tool” but we no longer use disposable sandwich bags. We use reusable bags…some are a silcon, and others some reusable thing. Really like them!
Yes, I estimate that approximately three quarters of all Talenti gelato is eaten to obtain the container. The containers are just perfect.
College Confidential does it again!! My family thinks I’m a little nuts spending time here with both kids graduated and launched. But I had no idea other people also reused Talenti containers!
I started this years ago and have quite the collection. They’re perfect for so many things and actually look kinda cute. I store raw sugar, chocolate chips, craisins, nuts…you name it. Since it isn’t glass we began using them to transport those types of food to dorms. Two big thumbs up!
Just don’t put them in the dishwasher. They warp.
Yes. I always hand wash plastic, wood and certain knives.
I saw this spice rack in a photo on a Zillow listing for a house. It mounts on the inside of the pantry door. It’s exactly what I need because I have so many spice jars of different sizes. Now I just have to find someone who can make it for me!
I did that in a smaller way. I got a couple containers and emptied my drawers of anything extraneous . All the extras and gadgets I don’t use. Then I stored all of them in the pantry. Sure enough the next week my husband is asking for something. So I got that ONE thing out. Still afraid to chuck the rest but it sure helped on space.
There are tons of over the door spice racks on Amazon. Not very expensive either. Maybe one would do for you.
I have a decent pantry, but small things get lost on the deep Lshaped shelves. Eventually we decided on something like this. (We have solid core doors so were able to mount with screws - there are also over the door models) - https://www.containerstore.com/s/elfa/best-selling-solutions/door-wall-racks/elfa-utility-large-wall_mounted-rack/123d?productId=11019696
Instead of buying as a set, we started with the bracket and a few racks. Then added more later once we knew how we’d use. The broom holder in photo is also another beloved item - we shopped long and hard to find it in 1993, after leaving one in the cellarway at old house.
I recommend checking a Container Store if there is one nearby. They have all sorts of neat organizers. The trick is not to go overboard and to make sure what’s purchased matches the needs.
The Container Store can be a dangerous place. Don’t go in an aspirational mood, you’ll be buying elfa shelving solutions asap.
I’ve looked on Amazon but didn’t find any that matched the quantity that this one held. I keep checking now and then, though!
The Container Store currently has 35% off Elfa until October 23rd. Perfect timing for my daughter as she is moving to a new home in a couple of weeks!
@Colorado_mom We also have the same set up with bigger rack for cereal boxes and chips, with smaller for spices.
I have something similar. Came with the house, has probably been there since the 1970’s…
Our new house has lots of kitchen cupboards but no official “pantry” . I have a pretty generous pantry space at the house we are selling. I’m gonna have to get creative in how to use cupboards for food storage!
I went from having a huge walk in pantry to a small converted closet and cupboards. If you can, I’d highly recommended retrofitting a cupboard to have pull out drawers. I can load the entire drawer and have access to every square inch of space. It’s amazing how much stuff can be stored. | <urn:uuid:4cd13cd8-aa8e-4d82-8bcd-9bb68c254181> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://talk.collegeconfidential.com/t/share-your-best-kitchen-organizing-tip-tool/3646414?page=3 | 2023-11-30T17:33:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100229.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20231130161920-20231130191920-00566.warc.gz | en | 0.956444 | 1,133 |
For Japan, I made paper cranes and matcha green tea marshmallows.
Green tea is a large part of Japanese culture. There are several types of green tea based on how the leaves are grown such as climate, growing period, etc. that ultimately affects the cup of tea brewed and how it is used; for example, matcha is traditionally used in and prepared for tea ceremony. Matcha is also a popular ice cream flavour.
Because of the matcha powder, these marshmallows are more on the side of bittersweet. The green tea flavour would pair beautifully with white chocolate, an idea if you can have dairy and sugar. I’ve yet to see a dairy-free white chocolate, let alone sugar-free.
If you like marshmallows but don’t enjoy their often toothachingly sweet aspect, these could be for you. (My previous marshmallows are far less sweet than store-bought and most recipes, but some people’s tastebuds are more fine-tuned to sweetness than others; not to mention personal preferences.) | <urn:uuid:552ffec4-8274-45be-b5da-7ce4688702a7> | CC-MAIN-2016-50 | https://zscupoftea.com/tag/japan/ | 2016-12-11T04:06:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-50/segments/1480698544097.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20161202170904-00022-ip-10-31-129-80.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.962596 | 224 |
Preserving The “Western” World
Folks from all over the world travel to Colorado to experience the raw beauty of the Rocky Mountains. Many choose to explore the area on horseback, and Sombrero Ranches, Inc. is the largest outfitter in the state. Sombrero was created in 1958 by Rex Ross Walker, his late brother-in-law, Pat Mantle, and the late Keith Hagler, an avid horseman.
Here’s the story
Rex, a native of Texas, had developed an intense interest in horses, and traveled yearly to Colorado, starting when he was eleven years old, to spend time on a ranch.
Later, while still in college, Rex met and married the stunning Queeda Mantle. Through Queeda, Rex met Pat Mantle, Queeda’s brother, a native of Colorado fresh off the family ranch. Pat Mantle, was raised in the remote country nestled below Blue Mountain, near Vernal, Utah. Pat, and his family, were famous throughout the western slope for their horsemanship and hearty homestead upbringing. Pat, knew the land, and understood horses better than most. | <urn:uuid:95923712-4ea0-4946-a7d3-6452c3a04b77> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | https://www.sombrerohorses.com/ | 2021-09-18T14:23:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780056476.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20210918123546-20210918153546-00574.warc.gz | en | 0.967982 | 243 |
The taste of vegetable mash takes me back to childhood memories. Mashed potato with whatever was growing in the garden, a dollop of butter hidden in the middle and a splash of Lea & Perrins (when I was older) reminds me of dinners at my grandparents’ or the simple, but seemingly special, healthy treat that I was often given when unwell.
My vege garden has taken a backseat to raising our new baby over the last few months. However, a couple of hours clearing out the overgrowth and preparing my beds for autumn has renewed my interest and provided much needed motivation to make time again for my green thumb. Continue reading
If you are looking for a little nibble that will get you through that 3pm craving time, these little almost-raw food truffles may be just the ticket. I was inspired by these little raw food treats called Foosballs, which I found at Hardy’s health store in Kerikeri. Here’s my take on it, using what I had in the pantry. Continue reading
What a month or so it has been for harvesting, now that we are well into summer! I have really enjoyed watching other people’s successes as they reap the benefits from their gardening passion. The vibrant colours of ripe tomatoes, colourful beans and rainbow silver beet, shiny courgettes, leafy greens and more, mean that I have been more “green eyed” than “green thumbed” during this plentiful period. Continue reading
It’s been two months since I provided my last garden tour and boy have things changed. Here’s the latest update on my garden – such growth, such change, such excitement for an enthusiastic vege grower like me! Continue reading
An abundance of leafy greens in my garden has prompted an hour of preserving in my kitchen. Now is a good time to bring in the last of my autumn spinach, silver beet and kale to make way for the next crop, which is branching out in all directions already. Continue reading
My go-to cuisine when I feel like detoxing or loading up on fresh vege is Mediterranean. Last night it was Greek style salad with lamb burgers – yum! Quick and easy to rustle up with most of the making in the preparation – or chopping, to be more precise. Continue reading
It’s time to plant these little seedlings out in the big garden. So, they are spending a couple of nights out of the hot house cabinet and on top of the work bench before they join the rest of the vegetable patch. Continue reading
It’s time for a confession: I would rather look on lovingly at my well-stocked, heaving vegetable garden and never harvest anything. There, I’ve said it. Yes, it is a curse and this line of thinking may possibly contravene some unwritten law for vege gardeners. However, the only thing that eventually motivates me to harvest is the thought of losing my fleshy beauties to time, where they can be taken out by some stealthy suspect like rot or going to seed.
My beer traps have been working wonderfully, trapping three or four slugs in each a night (many of them on the very large side) and a few tiny snails. However, after a while I noticed that my tender broccoli, cucumber and eggplant seedlings were disappearing, one bite at a time. When I arrived home after a long weekend away, smidgens of ravished stalks greeted me, making it blatantly obvious that either some slugs did not have the taste for beer or something else was making a mockery of my pest protection system. Continue reading
There are masses and masses of little fruit flies flitting atop my three small vege beds. They are going crazy over the smelly, mucky, well-rotted chicken poo that I have mixed in with the soil. Apparently, it’s a great place for them to lay their eggs. Continue reading
… a busy little worker bee! Continue reading
For the last few weeks I have been patiently waiting for for the blush on my first strawberries to rise from their tips to their stalks. But, horror upon horrors, when I finally picked them, I found that the pesky ants had already beaten me there! Continue reading
It’s such a lovely day here that my seedlings have found themselves out of their hot house cabinet and alongside a north-facing wall for a dose of warm sunshine. They were well watered early this morning and will be watered again tonight to make up for the drying sun. We have a high today of 16 degrees celsius and no wind to speak of. Perfect! Continue reading
It feels like spring has been with us for some time, in some form or another. It’s the milder winter weather, the more frequent sunny days; or the daffodils showing and the blossom exploding from fruit trees. However, this week is officially the start of spring and it is a wonderful prelude to the ever-warming weather that leads us into summer. Continue reading
Excitement! My first online order of seeds have arrived from POD Easy, Edible Gardening! Thanks go out to NZ Ecochick for making me aware of the special: buy $25 or more of seeds and receive 5 free packets of flowers and 5 free packets of vegetables. This is 5 free packets more than POD’s usual offer. Continue reading
As I ran out of the door on the way to the UK at the end of June, I snipped around 30 puffy swan-like seed pods off my large Swan Plant. I carefully placed them just inside the glass door in a sunny spot, so that they could dry out while we were away. As we drove away from the house, I had the warm sense of satisfaction that I would arrive home to perfectly dried pods, ready to be de-seeded. I would harvest enough seeds to keep me in Swan Plants – and beautiful Monarch butterflies – for many, many moons to come. Continue reading
En route to retrieve my iPhone from the glove box in our car the other night, I took a quick tour of my garden – torch in hand – to investigate whether it was indeed sneaky slugs that were munching their way through my young brassicas. It took a few seconds for me to see their shady selves, but sure enough, there were ten-to-fifteen of the slimy monsters caught in the spotlight. And not just slugs; a rather large snail was clinging on to the spindly remains of a tiny cauli leaf in a rather King Kong-Empire State Building fashion! Continue reading
One of my favourite things about blogging is being able to see everyone else’s vege patch and how they change structure, shape and colour throughout the seasons. The My Garden page and these Garden Tour posts are my karmic contribution for sharing with others. And, of course, a way for me to look back over the changes that have taken place in my own patch.
Not for the faint hearted, these posts will be chock-a-block full of images! Continue reading
With the exception of last night’s incredible storm, the past few weeks have consistently brought light showers and cooler temperatures, which are soon warmed by the midday sun. It’s what you would expect being one week away from spring. Continue reading
It feels great to grow your own seedlings, if you can. You need a little time and space, a little gear (like a hot house/cabinet), a little warmth, and then you need to remember to keep the tender stems moist as they grow over the coming weeks. Carefully selecting and packing seeds into seedling trays has become a day that I look forward to on my gardening calender. You reap the rewards every time you see the new growth and, of course, when you eventually plant them out and count the savings! Continue reading
I guess that’s a bit dramatic, however I am so excited that my garden is still going through its first autumn and winter! Yes, growing has been slow – but there is growing, and that is the main thing.
The one year anniversary of my all-year-round vege patch occurs at the end of September, as that is usually when I plant my seedlings in preparation for harvesting over summer. This time last year, I wasn’t even thinking about my garden. The first day of spring would usually bring the first inklings of excitement and planning of what would take root come “planting weekend”.

Well, I looked at my garden this morning and thought, “what exotic lunch could I make with you?” The answer that I came up with as Thai-inspired soup.
Thai-Inspired Chicken Soup
From the garden: Lemon grass, capsicum, chili, spinach, spring onion, young celery, chives and coriander. Other ingredients: cooked chicken, noodles, white onion, water, mystery-Asian stock cube, palm sugar, shrimp paste, fish sauce and mushrooms.
The time (all 5 minutes of it) was in the chopping of the vege and bringing the pot to boil. If you are like me and a bit unsure of how to prepare fresh lemon grass, watch this great vid. Continue reading
I used to be all about the vegetables, when it came to planting and maintaining my own garden. I wanted plants that delivered something tangible to the [kitchen] table. At a bare minimum, it used to be the ingredients for a basic salad – instant gratification when it came to throwing a feel-good meal together at last minute. My view on that has changed as my vegetable growing objectives have grown and become more about the longer-term, sustainable output of an ever-increasing variety of fruit and vegetables for my kitchen and pantry. However, it has been a gradual, not an overnight, appreciation for what plants of the flowering, non-edible variety have to offer in aesthetic and more productive ways. Continue reading
It must be perfect weather for growing toad stills here at the moment. There are quite a number growing quite well around the base of our oak trees and in the shelter of the flaxes. Continue reading
If you are anything like me, then you will have struggled growing coriander at some point in your herb growing time. It is always worth persevering until you get it right, as coriander is a really versatile herb that can turn pork mince + oyster sauce + the humble iceberg lettuce into an authentic-tasting Asian extravaganza (fun for the whole family – use the lettuce leaves as spoons/scoopers). It is definitely one of the most used herbs in my kitchen.

On Wednesday, February 27, eight women political prisoners in La Esperanza prison began an indefinite hunger strike to condemn the constant acts of humilliation and the cruel and inhuman treatment to which they are personally subjected, as previously denounced by IM-Defensoras. With their strike, they also challenge the government repression and para-police violence now being exerted in Nicaragua.
The political prisoners on strike are: Nelly Marilly Roque Ordoñez, Amaya Coppens Zamora, Yaritzha Rostrán Mairena, María Peralta Cerrato, Jamileth Gutiérrez Moncada, Solanghe Centeno Peña, Johana Delgado and Karla Matus Méndez.
We of IM-Defensoras express our solidarity with the eight women and demand that their claims be immediately addressed, as we hold the Nicaraguan government responsible for their lives and health conditions.
We reiterate our demands to free all women political prisoners in Nicaragua and to put an immediate end to government repression and para-police violence in the country. | <urn:uuid:bb669052-b03a-407d-9b6c-fecdf47434ac> | CC-MAIN-2023-23 | https://im-defensoras.org/2019/03/urgentalert-nicaragua-eight-women-political-prisoners-launch-hunger-strike-in-la-esperanza-prison/ | 2023-06-06T23:19:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-23/segments/1685224653183.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20230606214755-20230607004755-00699.warc.gz | en | 0.911555 | 221 |

Loneliness is the biggest cause of stress for singles, with more people worrying about their solo status than by credit card debt, work pressures and global financial crisis.
Sad and lonely
In the survey of 500 people by PARSHIP.co.uk, half (51%) of Britain’s 13 million singles said that their main source of stress was loneliness and the prospect of never meeting someone to share their life with. In fact, an average of 28 nights of sleep per year is lost through worry about loneliness.
By comparison, only one fifth (18%) of singles, cited financial problems, including credit card debt, as a cause of stress, and the same percentage put blame on work pressures. Only 7% mentioned family problems, and 3% illness.
Dr Victoria Lukats, psychiatrist and PARSHIP.co.uk’s relationship and dating expert, commented:
“People are more likely to associate stress and its symptoms with debt and work pressures. However, the figures speak for themselves. Whilst many people see being single as a positive choice statistics show that the majority – 60% of UK singles - would prefer to be in a relationship and are looking for that special person to share their life with. Scientific studies have shown that married men live longer than their single counterparts. This may be in part due to lower stress levels and the comfort that being in a long-term relationship can bring. In addition, people who have sex at least twice a week have also been shown to live longer, once again highlighting the benefits of being in a relationship.” “Unfortunately it’s more headline-grabbing to say ‘£1 billion worth of debt is causing misery for thousands’ when in fact loneliness is causing misery for six million singles.”
Global warming failed to register as a cause for stress amongst the 500 people surveyed. | <urn:uuid:8f912ecc-3f42-46dc-95a9-46e75f6b8ad9> | CC-MAIN-2015-11 | http://uk.parship.com/magazine/single-life/loneliness-causes-more-stress-than-credit-card-debt.htm | 2015-02-27T03:59:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-11/segments/1424936460472.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20150226074100-00285-ip-10-28-5-156.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.971831 | 378 |
GALLIPOLIS — A husband and wife from Gallipolis were recently sentenced by the Gallia County Court of Common Pleas to three years in prison for trafficking heroin within municipal limits.
James Sims, 40, and Angela Sims, 37, both were sentenced for their three years of drug trafficking. Angela was originally sentenced in mid-May while James was sentenced June 1.
“The husband and wife duo was running a heroin trafficking operation out of their home in Gallipolis,” said Gallia County Prosecutor Jeff Adkins. “Our investigation into this couple’s illegal activities goes back to July 2015. Through coordination with the (Gallia-Meigs) Major Crimes Task Force, we were able to indict the couple with selling heroin on five different occasions out of their home beginning September 2015 and most recently February 2016.”
Both individuals pleaded guilty to attempted engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity, a third-degree felony. The couple received the maximum prison sentence, each of them to serve three years in prison. Both began serving time immediately after their sentencing.
“Some may wonder why we don’t rush in after the first purchase of heroin,” said Gallia Assistant Prosecutor Britt Wiseman. “The reason for this is that if we are able to show that someone is engaged in a pattern of corrupt activity (i.e. selling heroin on multiple occasions) then the crime and the penalties are much more severe. Due to the fact that we were able to prove multiple sales of heroin by these individuals, we charged both defendants with an enhanced felony crime. Merely charging them with a single sale of heroin would have resulted in probation. However, our enhanced charge allowed us to send these defendants to prison for three years.”
“The house these defendants were selling out of was only a few blocks away from a school,” said Gallia Assistant Prosecutor Eric Mulford. “We will not allow individuals like those involved in this case to infect the young people of Gallia County. Our work depends on tips from the community.”
Criminal justice officials, as always, encourages the public to call the Gallia County Sheriff’s Office Tip-Line at (740) 446-6555 if they see suspicious activity. | <urn:uuid:6ff7860d-b378-43be-8b71-4a760089a239> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | https://www.mydailytribune.com/news/7298/husband-wife-sentenced-for-drug-trafficking | 2021-09-17T07:31:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780055601.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20210917055515-20210917085515-00347.warc.gz | en | 0.97749 | 471 |
Lleyton Hewitt has hosed down concerns over the injuries to singles leading lights Bernard Tomic and Nick Kyrgios ahead of Friday's start to Australia's Davis Cup tie against the US. Tomic has a wrist issue and Kyrgios back and hip problems, but Hewitt is confident he will have both players at his disposal for his captaincy debut.
The top-30 pair were both en route to Melbourne on Monday as their teammates – including Sam Groth and doubles debutant John Peers, as well as the redoubtable, just-retired Hewitt – practised on Kooyong's temporary grass court for the first time. Kyrgios retired hurt from his recent Dubai semi-final, while Tomic needed painkillers to complete a week in Acapulco that ended with a finals loss to Dominic Thiem.
"We're all good," Hewitt declared, despite the above suggestions to the contrary, while admitting he had spoken to Kyrgios but providing no details of what was said.
"Both Nick and Bernie are playing extremely well at the moment. So the biggest thing for them is to get their bodies as close to 100 per cent right physically because they have had the matches, they're confident and they feel good on the big points and they back themselves in. That is why it is important now just for them to more mentally prepare, more than anything. They have beaten quality players over the past couple of weeks.
"They are in transit. Tomorrow they will be here. It is more about just managing those two now, because they've had such a busy workload – the Australian summer and then both going away straight after that and having good results. So it's more just about getting a little bit of feel for the grass. I am comfortable with both those guys that their games naturally suit grass, so it is not going to take a lot of time."
Hewitt said that "at this stage" both Tomic and Kyrgios would have a light hit on Tuesday. "We'll see how they pull up, obviously. It's more just getting a feel for the grass under their feet. Both boys have such a big game and serve and return is so crucial to both of their games, week in and week out. They are a couple of their biggest strengths out there and that is why they need to do well out there on the grass court, so I'm pretty confident."
The Americans practised later on Monday, and Hewitt spoke of rival captain Jim Courier's lack of selection flexibility with specialists Bob and Mike Bryan in the doubles to support singles pair John Isner, the world No.11, and rising star Jack Sock.
"They are pretty stuck with how their team is going to line up. They have two singles players and two doubles players, so we know exactly what we are getting into," he said.
"Personally I've played against both John and Jack in the past in singles, so I know their games really well and both Nick and Bernie have played them as well. Our boys are pretty confident with what they are going to expect out there but it is still a matter of going out there and executing."
Peers, the 27-year-old Victorian, is ranked eighth after a season that included two major finals appearances. His sole collaboration with Groth came in Sydney in January, but the two are well-acquainted, and confident they will combine well if picked for Saturday's important rubber.
"Being at Kooyong is a dream come true as I was born and bred here and been here for so many years," Peers said. "All I could do was keep putting my hand up, keep putting the results up and hopefully I would get the opportunity and now that I have, I am really looking forward to taking the opportunity as best as I can."
Hewitt said he had been impressed by Peers' knowledge of the doubles game, and experience and success against the Bryans, who have been toppled from their perch at the top of the game, but still own a 24-4 Davis Cup record.
"They have tinkered with changing sides this year and playing the different side on the return of serve, so there are a few question marks there," Hewitt said. "But they're a quality team and our guys have got to go out there and play quality tennis to take it to them, and we're the underdogs in that match, but that's how I like to be." | <urn:uuid:21ff27fa-eaba-41f0-8235-a15b956cf5bb> | CC-MAIN-2016-30 | http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/sport/tennis/davis-cup-2016-australia-v-us-hewitt-confident-that-tomic-and-kyrgios-will-play-20160229-gn6cjc.html | 2016-07-26T16:18:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-30/segments/1469257824995.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20160723071024-00062-ip-10-185-27-174.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.989038 | 921 |
Students are outraged they were not given notice that a San Diego higher education institute is shutting down.
On Friday the Art Institute of California in Mission Valley closed for good.
"It kind of blindsided everybody," said student Randy LaVea.
Students were wondering why they weren't told of the closure until a few days before it happened.
"I was working two jobs and then I had to stop working to focus on school and then it just shuts down," added LaVea.
He said with no job he can't afford to stay in San Diego and will most likely have to move in with his family in Florida.
For the students on the verge of graduating, questions of if they'll be able to or if their credits will transfer are still unanswered by staff.
"To find out it all came crashing down just before the finish line is devastating," said Fashion Design student Moriah Stalker.
Stalker is a disabled veteran and also held a job through the school as a tutor, which helped her make ends meet and pay for tuition.
"They told me I lost my job as a tutor here on Tuesday," said Stalker.
Other students lost their jobs through the institute as well.
Six other Art Institutes of California have closed too amid financial and legal troubles, meaning many programs don't have comparable classes nearby.
"The closest I can find is about an hour away," said Damien Friedman, who was studying game art and design.
Local alumni of the San Diego campus are now stepping up to help.
"We can try to connect individuals to jobs and training," said April Rieger, who graduated last year and now works for Girls in Tech San Diego. "If students need anything, don't hesitate to reach out to us."
The U.S. Department of Education said it's stepping in to assist students with automatic loan cancellations and school records requests.

Germany: ISSE holds Berlin meeting on US war plans against Iran
21 February 2007
The International Students for Social Equality held a well-attended meeting at Berlin’s Technical University last week. In his opening remarks to the meeting, Peter Schwarz, an editorial board member of the World Socialist Web Site, stated, “Those who have followed the events of the last weeks can no longer have any doubts that the American government is seriously preparing for a war against Iran.” A lively discussion took place about the preparations for war against Iran and the building of an international antiwar movement.
Christoph Vandreier, who chaired the meeting, pointed out that exactly four years earlier to the day, Berlin’s streets had seen more than 1 million demonstrating against the impending Iraq war. In other cities as well, millions had taken to the streets in the largest international demonstration of antiwar sentiment in world history. To develop an international movement against war, it was vital to draw the lessons from the failure of the peace movement of that time, Vandreier stressed.
Peter Schwarz dealt first with the developments that proved the war plans against Iran were far advanced. “After the Iraq war and the disaster which then ensued, this appears to be pure madness,” he said. “And it is madness. Nevertheless, the Bush administration is systematically advancing the practical, political and propaganda preparations for a war against Iran.”
Schwarz spoke about the rejection of the Baker-Hamilton report by the Bush administration. The commission headed by James Baker, the former secretary of state and Bush family friend, had not called for the occupation of Iraq to be ended. It did, however, propose the long-term reduction of troops in Iraq and the inclusion of Iran and Syria in a political solution. Instead, the Bush government increased troop numbers, is preparing a new offensive in Afghanistan, and is despatching a second aircraft carrier, concentrating the largest naval force in the Persian Gulf since the beginning of the Iraq war.
“This only makes sense as part of preparations for an attack on Iran,” Schwarz said. “Supported by long-range bombers stationed on the American bases in Europe, in the Indian Ocean and elsewhere, the US military has the capacity to bombard Iran around the clock with cruise missiles and hundreds of airplanes.”
The possible deployment of tactical nuclear weapons has also been discussed, he stated. “It would be the first use of the atom bomb since the destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the end of the Second World War.”
Schwarz then described the campaign of disinformation with which the Bush administration is preparing a military strike and that strongly recall the events on the eve of the Iraq war four years earlier. For example, the spreading of unproven claims that the Iranian government is arming the Iraqi resistance and is responsible for the deaths of American soldiers.
Washington has also launched an intensive round of shuttle diplomacy in order to bring on board the Arab regimes in the Middle East.
Finally, he quoted former security advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski, who at a Senate committee had warned quite openly of the fact that the Bush government was capable of organising provocations—including a possible terrorist attack in the US—in order to produce a casus belli.
“The recent bomb attack in the Iranian city of Sahedan, which cost the lives of 11 elite soldiers from the Revolutionary Guards, must be seen in this connection,” said Schwarz. Responsibility was claimed by a Sunni group, which fights in the name of the Baluchistani minority against the Shiite regime in Tehran. One knows from several sources that Washington has provided money to support such groups. Such an attack could encourage ethnic tensions in Iran, provoke a conflict with Pakistan (which Tehran accuses of supporting Sunni terrorists) or cause the Iranian government to take aggressive countermeasures, which would then provide a pretext for a further escalation by the US.
The consequences of a war against Iran would be devastating in every regard, continued Schwarz. “It would cost the lives of hundreds of thousands—and in the case of the use of nuclear weapons, even millions. It would not stop at the Iranian border and would draw the whole region into the vortex. The ethnic, religious and other tensions in the region, which were encouraged by imperialism over decades, would explode like a witch’s cauldron. Russia, the European and Asian powers would also become embroiled, who all have substantial interests in the region. The scenario more and more recalls the eve of the First and Second World Wars.”
Such a war would also have domestic consequences in Europe and America. There would be considerable opposition—but also the danger of terrorist attacks. “Governments would react by setting aside democratic rights and establishing semi-dictatorial regimes.” It is only in this context that one can understand why German Interior Minister Wolfgang Schäuble is so obsessively increasing state powers.
“Why is the Bush administration pursuing this insane project?” Schwarz asked. “As Marxists, we do not ignore the role of the individual in history. But in the long run, one cannot understand such dramatic historical events like a war simply from the individual motives and interests of people such as Bush, Cheney and the clique that surrounds them. There are more fundamental forces at work.”
Bush and his clique are the most malignant expression of the insoluble crisis of a social system that is historically outlived—American and world capitalism. “The modern, global productive forces cannot be reconciled with a social system that is based on the nation state; the socially organised production process, which connects millions of individuals, cannot be reconciled with the anarchic system of private property and the market.”
The mounting crisis of world economy forces the great powers into a merciless competitive struggle for cheap labour, raw materials and markets, which in the long run is carried out with military means. The US is trying to compensate for its economic decline vis à vis its European and Asian rivals with military means, and to defend its position as a global hegemonic power.
This also explains why, although there is much criticism of Bush’s course in the American ruling elite, there is no serious opposition. The new Democratic majority in the Senate and House, which owes its election victory to the popular opposition to the Iraq war, has from the start categorically refused to deny Bush the funds he needs or to launch impeachment proceedings against him. “Bush knows he can count on their support in the long run.”
“The Democrats represent the same oligarchy, the same super-rich layer, as the Republicans,” said Schwarz. “This parasitic layer, which perhaps constitutes just 2 percent of the total population, has appropriated indescribable wealth, while the vast majority live in precarious conditions or in open poverty. Such social polarisation cannot be reconciled with democracy. The fear that this could unleash a popular movement, completely out of their control, prevents the Democrats from seriously opposing Bush.”
Speaking about the role of the German and other European governments, Schwarz said they were following the war preparations against Iran with great unease, because considerable economic and strategic interests were at stake. “Whereas the US has boycotted Iran since the 1979 revolution, the Europeans have massive business interests there.” But no European government would be prepared to oppose Washington openly. Instead, they try to put a brave face on matters, pursue a policy of appeasement and would support the US in the long run, if it should come to war.
The behaviour of German Chancellor Angela Merkel is typical in this regard. “Publicly she maintains her friendship with Bush, is a picture of harmony, supports the sanctions against Iran and expresses no word of criticism—although the German government is well informed what is at stake. Behind the scenes, she is trying to work against the US. At least this is how newsweekly Der Spiegel interpreted her recent Middle East trip, during which she is said to have tried to engage various Arab regimes in a policy of ‘dialogue,’ instead of military confrontation.”
“It is obvious that such cowardly tactics will not stop the war plans of the Bush government,” Schwarz concluded. Washington would rather use Merkel’s attitude, as in the UN resolutions supported by Germany before the Iraq war, in order to legitimise a military strike.
The German government fears an American defeat in the Middle East far more than it fears a war against Iran, because such a defeat would weaken imperialism as a whole. It wants to keep all its options open to share in any possible war booty. And it fears that open resistance to Bush could encourage an antiwar movement that would quickly grow out of control.
“Germany, France and Italy are reacting to the aggressive militarism of the US by increasing their own militarily capacity and sending their own troops to the Middle East. The German armed forces are active in Afghanistan, in Lebanon and in the Horn of Africa, and with the sending of six Tornado airplanes to southern Afghanistan have taken the first step to becoming directly involved in the fighting. And this increasing militarism is accompanied by the strengthening of the state apparatus and massive social cutbacks,” explained Schwarz.
Summing up, it must be said that the German government bears joint responsibility for the criminal policies of the Bush administration.
In conclusion, Schwarz dealt with the question: What has become of the antiwar movement of four years earlier? At that time, millions took to the streets, but today there does not seem to be anything happening at all.
The reason has to be sought in the bankruptcy of the perspective and organisations that set the tone at that time. Their aim was to put the Bush administration under pressure through the UN and the European governments.
Attac, which played an important role at that time, is close to the social democrats. Many leading Attac members worked for SPD and Green Party parliamentary deputies. It has since become clear that the then-SPD-Green Party government cooperated closely with the US, despite its public rejection of the war; refusing, for example, to close the US bases in Germany. It also supported the US policy of illegal abductions (“renditions”), as the cases of Murat Kurnaz and Khaled el-Masri showed.
Some of the leaders of the peace movement of that time can today even be found in government and support—as does Rifondazione Comunista in Italy—the sending of troops to the Middle East.
“The antiwar movement has fallen flat because its perspective is bankrupt,” Schwarz concluded. “On the other hand, the opposition of the broad population against the war has grown, which can be seen most clearly in the US, and there exists widespread social anger and discontent.”
The most important task consists of placing this widespread opposition on a sustainable political basis. “American militarism can only be opposed through the building of a broad, international, independent political movement of the working class directed against the roots of militarism in the capitalist system.”
Such a movement must call for the immediate and unconditional withdrawal of all US troops from Afghanistan and Iraq, for the withdrawal of the war flotilla from the Persian Gulf and for the dissolution of the network of military bases established by the Pentagon throughout the Middle East as well as in central Asia. It must also demand the withdrawal of all European troops from Iraq, Afghanistan and the Middle East, as well as the closure of all US bases in Europe.
It must advocate the nationalisation of the arms industry and its transformation into production for peaceful purposes. And it must demand that the enormous military expenditure be used instead for social purposes, as well as the nationalisation of the main war profiteers, such as the large oil corporations.
In the coming weeks and months, the World Socialist Web Site, the International Committee the Fourth International and the Socialist Equality Party will be dedicating their forces to the construction of such a movement. In this context, Schwarz referred to the Emergency Conference against the Wars in Iraq and Iran, being conducted by the International Students for Social Equality on March 31 and April 1 in Ann Arbor, Michigan, in the US.
A lively discussion followed the lecture.
One student provided several reasons why the building of an independent political movement of the working class against war was not possible: One cannot reach the people, they are too self-occupied, the bourgeoisie have an all-powerful propaganda apparatus, etc.
In answer, it was said that millions of people are prepared to fight against war and are enraged over social injustice, but the bankruptcy and betrayal of the old workers’ organisations means they lack a viable perspective. The task before us consists of preparing politically for the inevitable social struggles ahead.
A long-standing member of the Greens, who had left them because of their support for the Afghanistan war, wanted to know concretely how Attac and the Greens had misled the antiwar movement. He pointed to the Green Party parliamentary deputy Hans-Christian Ströbele, whom he claimed had steadfastly retained his antiwar outlook, in contrast to the party leadership.
In response, it was said that it was precisely Ströbele who had played a key role in providing a left-wing cover for the political line of the Greens. The Greens had been taken into government and entrusted with the foreign ministry, in order to push through—against widespread opposition—the transformation of Germany’s armed forces from a defensive territorial force into an army of international intervention. The Green Party, as the party whose programme had embodied pacifism, was the only one able to do this.
Ströbele had taken an opposition stance in order to deflect the resistance, but in the crucial moment, however, was always ready to do a deal that kept the party together and helped the leadership to hold sway.
The former Green member at the meeting then described how Ströbele—just when the SPD-Green Party coalition was threatened with losing its majority over the deployment of German troops to Afghanistan—negotiated an agreement permitting four of eight opposition delegates to vote against the deployment. Thus the appearance of an opposition was preserved whilst guaranteeing a majority for the deployment. | <urn:uuid:624f66e9-9d05-432a-a6f9-7b297fb350e4> | CC-MAIN-2015-35 | http://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2007/02/germ-f21.html | 2015-08-29T14:41:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-35/segments/1440644064503.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20150827025424-00055-ip-10-171-96-226.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.967399 | 2,930 |
Exploration of Knowledge Sharing Challenges in Value Networks: a Case Study in the Finnish Grocery Industry pp505-514
Business activities are increasingly organized through networks. This article considers the value network of the Finnish grocery industry, a network where the web of relationships between two or more companies creates tangible and intangible value through the complex and dynamic exchanges. In value networks the relationships between the participants of the network tend to be more complex than the traditional make‑buy‑relationships, as companies create value together through different types of relationships such as deep buyer‑supplier‑relationships or strategic partnerships. This variance in the nature and level of collaborative relationships poses new challenges to knowledge sharing. Complementing previous research on the challenges to knowledge sharing in other network settings, this article explores the knowledge sharing challenges specific to value networks based on a qualitative case study about the value network of the Finnish grocery industry. The data consists of 32 thematic interviews of top and upper management representatives from 16 companies in the value network. The results show that the current collaborative relationships in the Finnish grocery industry are functional and working, but mostly just traditional "arms‑length" buyer‑supplier‑relationships. However, the challenges to knowledge sharing seem to be somewhat different to those present in other network settings. The challenges to knowledge sharing in value networks do not seem to concern so much the opportunities for knowledge sharing, but the motivational and cultural factors affecting what knowledge is shared and how much knowledge is shared. Based on these results, the knowledge sharing challenges of the value network can be crystallized under three points. First, the focus of knowledge sharing has been on information, and the organizational arrangements do not encourage the sharing of valuable know‑how. Second, the organizational cultures and top management directives do not encourage external knowledge sharing, and therefore knowledge is not shared. And third, the experiences of past abuses of trust and the retail groups renewed focus on price bargaining undermine the trust between the companies, thus inhibiting knowledge sharing.

The past decades have witnessed the proliferation of research on knowledge work. Knowledge work has mostly been used as an antonym to manual work, to refer to specific occupations characterized by an emphasis on specialized skills and the use of theoretical knowledge. The efforts to encompass all the different contexts where knowledge plays a relevant role in work tasks has resulted in various and ambiguous definitions of what knowledge work actually is. In order to shed light on the elusive concept of knowledge work, we studied how it has appeared in the scientific discussion, and diffused from one scientific community to another. As the circulation of new ideas and concepts in scientific discussion is apparent through academic literature, we examined the emergence and diffusion of the concept of knowledge work through a citation analysis on articles from the Social Sciences Citation Index. The data set consists of 273 articles with 7,057 cited references for the 1974 to 2003 period, and we used a dense sub‑network grouping algorithm on the co‑citation network to distinguish highly cited groups of references. We distinguish three periods of diffusion of the concept of knowledge work. The results show that Drucker's In the age of discontinuity (1969) and Bell's The coming of post‑industrial society (1968) were the main influencers when the concept emerged in the scientific discussion from 1974 to 1992. After this period, we can distinguish a slow diffusion period from 1993 to 2003, when the concept started to gain attention, and a fast diffusion period from 1999 to 2003, when the research proliferated. The discussion dispersed outside the management domain already in the emergence period, but the management domain has stayed the main domain of discussion also later on. However, from 1992 to 2003 the discussion inside the management domain dispersed into different groups. One of the main influences to a new group of research that appeared at this time was Zuboff's In the age of the smart machine (1984). This group, drawing on research conducted on knowledge‑intensive firms, has recently produced highly cited articles such as Blackler's 'Knowledge, knowledge work and organizations' in Organization Studies (1995). As the current discussion on knowledge work is dispersed in different groups, there is a need to engage in a common conceptual discussion and define what is actually meant by knowledge work. | <urn:uuid:bf1cd605-a146-4064-bc84-4b0af6609864> | CC-MAIN-2014-52 | http://www.ejkm.com/search/index.html?name=authorOrEditor&value=Hanna%20Timonen | 2014-12-20T03:00:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-52/segments/1418802769328.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20141217075249-00146-ip-10-231-17-201.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.932948 | 863 |
AIG Weighs IPO or Stake Sale of Life and Retirement Unit
Insurer American International Group Inc., which plans to separate its life and retirement business from the rest of the company, said on Friday it was considering options for the business, including an initial public offering or a stake sale of nearly 20%.
AIG said last month its board had approved a plan to separate the life and retirement business from the rest of the company, and named president Peter Zaffino as chief executive officer, effective next year.
“We currently contemplate either an IPO or a private sale of up to 19.9% of Life and Retirement, followed by one or more dispositions of our remaining ownership interest over time,” Zaffino said on Friday.
He added that AIG had no plans to break up the unit and sell it in pieces, and was aiming to finish the separation of the business in 2021.
The insurer will use the proceeds from the sale to reduce its debt leverage, Chief Financial Officer Mark Lyons said.
The company reported a slump in third-quarter profit on Thursday, hurt by losses related to storms, wildfires and the COVID-19 pandemic.
Global insurers are battling a sharp rise in natural catastrophe payouts at a time of coronavirus-induced losses. The investments that insurers rely on to pay claims have also come under pressure.

Professional in-home caregivers are invaluable to the seniors they care for. However, they are also important to a senior’s family because they provide peace of mind. In honor of National Caregivers Day, consider doing something nice for your elderly loved one’s caregiver. Here are a few simple suggestions.
Give the Caregiver a Card
A card is a small but thoughtful gesture that can make anyone feel special. Whether the card is bought from a store or made by hand at home, your loved one’s Lancaster caregiver is sure to appreciate receiving this gift. To make the card more personal, write a short message on the inside expressing your gratitude.
Take Him or Her Out to Eat
Taking your loved one’s caregiver out for a bite to eat is a fantastic way to show you are grateful for the work he or she does. Take the caregiver somewhere he or she wouldn’t eat on any ordinary day to make it even more special. Depending on the caregiver’s daily schedule, you can offer to take him or her to breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
Create a Gift Basket
Gift baskets can be modeled after any theme you think your loved one’s caregiver would enjoy. Including items like soap and lotion can show those who provide in-home care in Lancaster you appreciate what they do by helping them take care of themselves. Get to know the caregiver so you can make the basket more personal. Go the extra mile and decorate the basket with tissue paper or ribbon.
Purchase a Gift Card
Find out where your loved one’s caregiver likes to shop or eat and purchase a gift card. You don’t necessarily have to put a lot of money on the card, but it is still a nice gesture. If you are unsure of what kind of gift card would benefit the caregiver, try a gift card from a local coffee shop. Even if the caregiver is not a coffee drinker, coffee shops also have many other food and beverage options.
If you are your loved one’s primary caregiver and need assistance providing high-quality care, reach out to Home Care Assistance. Our hourly and live-in caregivers can help with a wide variety of important tasks, including bathing, exercise, cooking, and transportation. We also offer comprehensive stroke, dementia, and Parkinson’s care in Lancaster. For more information on how our in-home care services can promote your loved one’s quality of life, call one of our friendly Care Managers at (717) 540-4663 to schedule a complimentary consultation. | <urn:uuid:43916f43-cf3c-46b5-9416-f0920f5b611d> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://www.homecareassistancelancaster.com/show-appreciation-for-caregivers/ | 2017-05-28T10:23:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463609613.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20170528101305-20170528121305-00031.warc.gz | en | 0.940762 | 542 |
“Employee wellbeing” is a business metric on the rise, according to a 2017 report released by Virgin Pulse (in partnership with Workforce.
Drawing on survey results collected from more than 600 HR professionals across many industries, the report authors found that 78 percent of their respondents rated employee wellbeing as “a key component of their business strategy.” Why? According to 97 percent of the respondents, it’s because they found that that employee wellbeing had a positive impact on employee engagement–and solid employee engagement is increasingly the difference between prospering and floundering:
“In 2017, organizations that put employee health and wellbeing at the core of their workplace cultures will continue to enjoy a significant competitive advantage in terms of higher employee engagement, increased productivity and stronger business performance.”
Subsequently, 87 percent of the organizations surveyed were planning to deepen their investment in employee wellbeing. The report’s forecast: “We expect the focus on employee wellbeing to shift from optional, nice-to-have programs, to mandatory, mission-critical business investments.”
HotLogic Managing Director, Jake Wisner, is pleased to see the rest of the business world finally catching up. “We’ve always known that employee wellbeing is key to a successful and ethical business. We pride ourselves on hiring people who are passionate about other people, that are selfless individuals. It would be fundamentally wrong not to make taking care of them a top priority. We’re pleased to work with customers who similarly make their employee’s quality-of-life a top priority.”Tags: corporate, culture, employee, employees, engagement, quality, wellbeing, wellness | <urn:uuid:71eaa70a-511d-4e89-bfea-bf4432453c78> | CC-MAIN-2020-16 | https://myhotlogic.com/employee-engagement-and-wellbeing-is-the-cutting-edge/ | 2020-03-30T04:29:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-16/segments/1585370496523.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20200330023050-20200330053050-00310.warc.gz | en | 0.965285 | 347 |

Larne Area Plan 2010
Utilities: Natural Gas
Northern Ireland is now connected to the British natural gas supply system by a pipeline which crosses the Irish Sea from Stranraer to Islandmagee. From its landfall at Castle Robin a 3 km. high-pressure pipeline has been laid to a pressure reduction station at Ballylumford Power Station which is being converted to burn natural gas as the principal fuel in generating electricity. From Ballylumford a network of pipelines is being constructed to supply natural gas to industrial, commercial and domestic customers in Northern Ireland. | <urn:uuid:8e544e92-9e78-4d43-823c-d8fe8745916c> | CC-MAIN-2018-13 | https://www.planningni.gov.uk/index/policy/dev_plans/devplans_az/larne_2010/larne_policies/larne_policies_utilities/larne_utilities_gas.htm | 2018-03-24T23:27:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-13/segments/1521257651465.90/warc/CC-MAIN-20180324225928-20180325005928-00321.warc.gz | en | 0.953544 | 117 |

Abcam’s Thioredoxin Reductase 1 (TXNRD1) Activity Assay kit is designed for the sensitive and accurate measurement of Thioredoxin Reductase 1 activity in Human cell and tissue extracts.
The assay uses a 96-well plate with an antibody specific to isoform 1 of thioredoxin reductase to isolate the isozyme pre-coated onto the wells. Samples are added to the wells and incubated at room temperature, any Thioredoxin Reductase 1 present in the sample will be immobilized in the well. After washing, the Reaction Buffer is added to each well and enzyme activity is measured. By analyzing the enzyme’s activity in an isolated context, outside of the cell and free from other isoforms, an accurate measurement of the enzyme’s functional state can be understood.
Thioredoxin Reductase 1 (TXNRD1) is a selenium-containing enzyme part of the thioredoxin system responsible for regulating oxidative stress and redox signaling via reduction of disulfide bonds. The dimer, Thioredoxin Reductase 1, reduces thioredoxin and other substrates using NADPH and an FAD cofactor. Thioredoxin Reductase 1 involvement in protecting against oxidative stress and injury, regulation of cellular development and growth, and various other cellular processes make it an interesting target for studies of various cancers, AIDS, and other diseases. Humans express three different isozymes of thioredoxin reductase, isoform 1 is the cytosolic form, isoform 2 is the mitochondrial form, and isoform 3 is a testes specific form.
The enzyme activity is determined by following the NADPH-assisted reduction of 5,5'-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB) to 5-thio-2-nitrobenzoic acid (TNB) which leads to increased absorbance at 412 nm. Two moles of TNB are formed from the oxidation of one mole of NADPH according to the reaction shown below.
DTNB + NADPH + H+ ↔ 2 TNB + NADP+
The molar extinction coefficient of TNB is 14.15 X 103 mM-1cm-1. Thioredoxin Reductase 1 activity is controlled by enzyme amount. An antibody specific to isoform 1 of thioredoxin reductase is used to isolate the enzyme from a bulk protein source for isoform-specific enzymatic activity measurements. Because the activity measured is specific to the isolated enzyme, a thioredoxin reductase inhibitor is not required for background signal subtraction.

RelevanceThioredoxin reductase (TrxR) (EC 18.104.22.168) is a ubiquitous enzyme which is involved in many cellular processes such as cell growth, p53 activity, and protection against oxidation stress, etc. The mammalian TrxR reduces thioredoxins as well as non-disulfide substrates such as selenite, lipoic acids, lipid hydroperoxides, and hydrogen peroxide.

Live your life in service to others….
I’ve tried my very best to do this for the past 21 years, in service to my son and those that came into our very small world. Sharing essential oils has been a blessing that has allowed me to expand my ability to live in service to others exponentially and I am forever grateful.
I have learned this way of life through the example set forth by my parents and my sister. They set the bar high and I’m determined to pole vault over it!
Firstly, when my parents finally retired they moved to a remote town in Florida, where they joined a tiny church and transformed a good deal of it through their service and generosity. They started a Christian Day Care Center and although my mom passed away before it blossomed, she is, in my mind, certainly proud of the way my Dad has molded and groomed this into the thriving, much needed, high standard school that it is today.

Secondly, my sister, a prominent, caring dentist in Iowa, and her amazing husband, founded an organization that provides mentors and scholarships to kids in need within their local community, so that they may complete their education from Third grade through high school graduation and beyond.
