The program is self-paced but with access to your tutor and online resources. If you are motivated and work independently, you can be successful.
Do not be afraid to try and fail, and get up again with more attempts. Keep trying, and you will be successful. I enjoyed the program, and I learned a lot. I thought I was a good photographer, but by reading the provided materials and applying the learned knowledge, you will learn a lot and WILL improve your photography skills.
You have to challenge yourself and be motivated. Don't be afraid, and allow this program to improve your photography and bring it to the next level. This is not a short-cut approach to photography but a well-rounded photography program to help you grow.
St. Catharines, ON
The Photography Institute has an excellent and cutting edge course from beginning to end.
As an intermediate/experienced Photographer, I felt that I might be wasting my money. However, that was not the case! The course offered a lot more than I originally expected and has given me the tools to be a successful Photographer.
I've already noticed a huge difference in my photographs as well as my work-flow. My client's see me as a professional because of the experience I've been equipped with along with the definitions ('photography lingo') I was taught. I recently spent about 6 minutes with a client who asked me where I went to school. I asked them why they should ask me such a question. They responded that I was very knowledgeable and they hired only the best! Take it how you may, I got the contract!
Overall, my experience with this course was great. My tutor was very prompt at answering all of my questions, which was fantastic as I could still maintain my work schedule and of course my income while progressing through the course.
If you ever thought about taking a course but didn't have the time to do so, I recommend The Photography Institute. This is not just because of their well packaged program, educated tutors and really nice website, but because you can work in your own pace, without the fear of missing a deadline and failing the course.
This course helps you build confidence and the skills needed to stand out against the thousands of Photographers out there!
Thanks again to the team at The Photography Institute...
In my resolutions list for 2020, I wrote down that I would complete a certification. Which one? I did not have a clue what I was looking for or what I was going to do. One day, I grabbed my camera, like I do since I was 15, but this time, I took photos that I was really proud of, and that is when it hit me; 'Here goes my certification'!
I signed up for this class, not knowing if it would be my path or if it was really what I was meant to do or to become. I started my first module by actually realizing that I didn't know anything about photography, like, nothing! The modules were getting easier to read and understand through the course, and my practice behind the camera was getting much more enjoyable knowing what I was doing this time.
Finally, I did it! I did the whole course, and I am coming out of it with so much more knowledge, preparation and confidence. I am a total new photographer who is ready to take this hobby to the next level by believing in myself the way my tutor was.
In conclusion, I am proud of myself, and I will never stop learning about this beautiful and strong profession that we are all cherishing. This course, hands down, helped me grow personally and professionally. I am now turning the switch 'this is where I belong mindset' mode on! Keep calm, and keep taking pictures.
I would re-do it tomorrow. P.S: Keep the modules; these are bibles!
Starting as an amateur photographer, I needed a course that would allow me to learn while keeping my full-time job. The Photography Institute was a perfect choice; it offered plenty of time to go through the modules and work on the assignments.
The content is great, and it opened my eyes to many aspects of photography in terms of composition, lighting, and technique. The website was very smooth to navigate, the modules - despite being packed with information, were very easy to digest. The program helped me get out of my comfort zone, which at the time was wildlife photography. I have now done anything from portrait to product photography, and I feel way more confident with my camera.
It also helped me focus (no pun intended) and understand what makes a good photo and how to build a better portfolio. Overall, it gave me a whole new vision when trying to create images, and I saw a huge improvement with each module.
Perhaps, one of the most invaluable things in this course was having the tutor's guidance along the way. I'm very thankful to George Seper for his feedback and insight throughout the course. It has really helped me improve my photography.
I have thoroughly enjoyed my journey at the Photography Institute. It was a lot of fun!
I had dabbled in photography as a hobby for a little while, but only got serious about it when I was in university! I wasn't enjoying what I was studying in school and was convinced by others to pursue my passion and start focusing on photography at a professional level.
At the time there were no schools offering photography courses in my area so I decided to do some research for online courses. When I stumbled upon The Photography Institute, I could tell it was perfect for my learning style and for what I wanted to achieve as a photographer! I messaged previous students asking their opinion and read through the testimonials and was convinced it was the right move!
The price was also something that stood out, as it is significantly cheaper than attending a college course, and in my opinion, taught me so much more! I loved knowing that you are being taught and mentored by real successful Photographers whom you can look up to! The Facebook group for students was probably my favourite resource as it is so interactive and fun! You can simply get to know people and their work, as well as help each other through the course! There is definitely a huge sense of community there.
This has been an amazing experience for me and has taught me so much! I am excited to have this course under my belt and to move on to what's next!@amynicolephotographiee
This course definitely took learning photography to a new level for me. Now, I can proudly say that I am able to create images rather than just snapshots.
It taught me everything from the very basics like knowing your gears and understanding that light is the most important aspect of photography all the way to the business side of photography.
The author George Seper, has an excellent approach for a novice Photographer and was able to guide me to understand why an image can be labelled as great and another not so great. Not to mention my tutor, David Goldman who was always very helpful especially with his timely answers to all of my questions. I enjoyed David's approach as he gave me his honest opinion on what he saw and he never attempted to"sugarcoat" his feedback, which was very beneficial to my learning style.
The support team was always there when I needed anything and they always responded very promptly to any of my needs.
A sample of some of the images that I have created are published with 'Canada Stock Photo':

Good luck to everybody and happy shooting!...
A fun and Rewarding Course!
The Photography institute provided me with the knowledge and understanding to be confident in my photographic career.
This course is a fantastic way to learn from the basics of photography all the way to the business side of photography. I found it to be a rewarding challenge, which paid off greatly for me.
Having your own personal tutor answer any questions or concerns was very helpful. Each module and assignment gave me plenty of insight into the topic at hand and although often challenging I didn't find any of the modules to be impossible.
One of the major benefits from this course was the increase in work I received due to what I had learnt.
Whether you are looking to start a photographic career, or just wanting to take up a new hobby, The Photography Institute in my opinion, and through my own personal experience, would have to be one of the best choices you could make.
Thank you to The Photography Institute and my tutor for a great learning experience...
St. Andrews, PEI
I have learned so much about photography, my camera and the equipment I need and how to use it.
This course has given me the confidence to move forward into developing my own business in boudoir and portrait photography while selling landscape photos on the side. The critiques from the instructors were valuable, as they all seem to be well recognized in the field of photography.
I have learned that I will never stop learning, and I am confident in what I do know and am well aware of what I still need to learn to further my craft. I am looking forward to the Portrait Advanced Module, which I just started after finishing my initial course, and seeing how I progress through the different stages in my personal and professional photography.
A fantastic course that I highly recommend to anyone looking at improving their photography for personal reasons, or launching a career in any aspect of photography.
Two thumbs up to the Photography Institute.
Years ago I bought a DSLR. I got by taking what I would call "Lucky Shots" but never knew exactly what I was doing. I've always loved photography and finally decided that this year would be the year I take a photography course. I looked online and came across a few online courses but there was something about The Photography Institute that I really liked.
The course outline was great and the modules were very informative and fun to read. My tutor David was such a great help and always got back to me promptly with great direction and tips if I was lost or just needed that little bit extra advice. I can't thank him enough.
When I started the course I never thought that I would have ever actually started my own business, but I have and I am doing really well in it. The Photography Institute gave me all the tools and direction that I needed to understand the functionality of my camera and take a great photo. They not only taught me about Photography they also pointed me in the right direction to get my small business up and running.
I'm so glad that I took this course. I've accomplished more than I thought I could have and I owe it all to The Photography Institute. I highly recommend this course!
The Photography Institute provided a course that was very affordable, considering the excellent education it provides.
The modules were very well designed, and extremely advantageous for a photographer starting out in the business.
The Institute really stretched my limits as far as the art of photography, and also provided much practical guidance in starting a photography career.
I highly recommend it!
This has honestly been the best photography course I have taken to date. I have taken both online and in class courses in the past and nothing compares to this one. George's instructional text, is written in the perfect sequence to help all levels understand and learn photography concepts. The course is very well structured, taking you from start to finish with very well thought out instruction and assignments to really get students using and more importantly applying the information they learned in the module.
The assistance provided from having my own personal tutor for the duration of the course was absolutely invaluable. My tutor was always prompt in responding to my questions, and continuously provided constructive criticism and encouragement.
This course gave me the knowledge I needed to turn a hobby into a career. I have and will continue to recommend this course to friends and colleagues...
As a Land Surveyor, I wanted to improve the quality of the digital images I was providing to my clients. Many shots required tricky exposure and expert settings to wring out every descriptive nuance - 'one chance' shots in rugged environments with challenging lighting.
After careful research, I was satisfied that The Photography Institute would be the perfect match for a busy professional. I needed flexible, online learning with fast one-on-one tutor support. In short, the course delivered as promised.
You’ll benefit from decades of industry insight as George takes you on a journey, teaching you great photography, pausing to illustrate 'getting an eye' and visualizing for the shot, or expounding on the essence and beauty of light.
The course is a good read with a balance of technology, essential techniques, foundational concepts and art. You’ll absorb it as if chatting with a knowledgeable friend. Be prepared for your tutor’s honest, articulate and constructive comments. The Facebook Group is also a great way to connect with 1000s of fellow students globally.
I’m very pleased with my improved technical photography skills. Now I 'have an eye' for the shot and I’m ready to supply industry field images for the unquenchable magazine and web marketplace.
Whatever your reason for following up on this opportunity, know that this course is truly set apart from others, whether self-taught or institute-based. The Photography Institute will not disappoint. If you’re short on time, this is definitely the one to suit your hectic calendar!
Thanks to the PI Team ! ...
I really liked the flexible schedule the course offered, the payment plan was also just as flexible.
I feel the course has helped improve my technical abilities as a Photographer. I really liked the tutor system. Anytime I had a question the response was quick and easy to understand. Signing up was easy and I suggested the course to a friend who is now enrolled!
The system for completing and submitting assignments was so easy to use and I found the feedback from my tutor on my work very helpful.
I have just started a photography business with two partners and i'm sure this course will help me succeed.
I would recommend this course to anyone seeking a career in photography!...
Before I started this course, I had passion for photography, but I felt that to move to another level I would need some help.
The Photography Institute was exactly what I was looking for. It offers very detailed modules on very specific topics to do with photography. The amount of valuable information you get in each lesson is truly remarkable.
My tutor David was most helpful throughout the entire process for me. He always offered valuable advice and criticism. David always got back to me right away and was always so very supportive.
The skills I've learned have been directly responsible for generating more paid assignments for me. I will use everything I've learned here to continue to improve and keep generating more work...
The Photography Institute is the perfect online course.
I was able to take the course at my own pace and on my own free time, and with two kids (one newborn and one toddler) it is tough to find the time for a face to face course.
This course was very informative and my tutor was very helpful and wasted no time getting back to me on my questions. My tutor went above and beyond expectations to ensure I received the correct information, on the topics or questions I had, he made sure I felt comfortable with my knowledge as I was progressing throughout the course.
This course has helped me in so many ways, from getting to know my camera and how to use it, to different lighting situations, where to find work, and making my portfolio, just to name a few. I was able to get some jobs as I was progressing, and I just finished registering my business name. I have multiple clients and this is just the beginning.
The course goes into depth and has great links to further your knowledge and is extremely fun in the process. I had a great time and I cannot thank my tutor, the team and George Seper enough.
I look forward to learning more, about the different areas of photography, and I can’t wait for more courses from George Seper. I will definitely be going through The Photography Institute again! Thanks, The Photography Institute!..

New Delhi, Jun 5: The two revenue collection arms of the central government--the CBDT and CBEC--will jointly hold their annual brainstorming session for the first time later this month which will be inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The conclave will deliberate on a on a host of issues related to taxpayer services and effective implementation of fiscal laws and government policies.
Modi will deliver his inaugural address to about 250 officials of the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) and Central Board of Excise and Customs (CBEC). Finance Minister Arun Jaitley will also address the conference on day one.
Minister of State for Finance Jayant Sinha will deliver the valedictory address on the second and last day. "The conference has been named 'Rajasva Gyan Sangam' (revenue officers retreat).
Apart from technical sessions of the two boards, the inaugural and valedictory events will be held together. This is happening for the first time and the Finance Ministry is putting in special efforts to make the event successful," a senior official said.
The official said work is on to invite few other speakers who would interact with the officers during the two-day conference which will be attended by Principal Chief Commissioners, Principal Directors General and Principal Commissioners of the CBDT and CBEC.
While CBDT is responsible for collecting direct taxes, the CBEC does the same vis-a-vis indirect taxes. "It is expected that the sessions may extend up to June 18 for few hours," the official said.
Till now, the two boards used to hold their annual conference separately with the chief guest being the Finance Minister. The itinerary and other details for the conference are still being worked.
The details of the deliberations will be sent to not only the FM's office but also to the Prime Ministers Office, sources said.
The sessions will be divided into two broad subjects relating to government's plan of financial inclusion and ensuring a transparent tax regime for businesses and foreign investors, besides issues and challenges being faced by the departments like Income Tax, Customs, Central Excise and the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence.
Modi, at his recent review meetings with the CBDT and CBEC officials had reiterated the need for reducing taxpayers' grievances and ensuring a quick resolution of their problems.
The Prime Minister is likely to outline the government's goals vis-a-vis some flagship programmes like 'Make in India' and 'Startup India' at the conference, the official said. | <urn:uuid:025f7337-0021-4167-985f-daee85b9a171> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://www.oneindia.com/india/modi-inaugurate-revenue-gyan-sangam-on-june-16-delhi-2118989.html | 2017-06-29T07:26:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128323889.3/warc/CC-MAIN-20170629070237-20170629090237-00057.warc.gz | en | 0.962116 | 514 |

The rapid shift to online teaching and learning during the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the penetration of an algorithmic world view into education systems around the world. Promoted by a burgeoning educational technology industry, platforms that use algorithms to structure and monitor teaching and learning have been presented as technical solutions to systemic problems. But they have also created new problems and reinforced existing inequities, stirring up public and political backlashes.

5 Simple Tips for stress-free Homework Time – Keep homework time stress-free with these 5 simple tips that have helped our family!
We all know how hectic after school time can be and getting kids to sit down and focus on their homework is a daily battle that we all have to face as parents. I’ve so been there! After nagging, reminding….even forcing my kids to sit and get their homework done for too long, we started to make some changes that have helped our family.
Below you’ll find some simple tips that have made homework time more manageable in our home.
1. Have a snack. Having a snack prepared for when the kids get home has made a big difference for us in cutting down on the chaos that comes with after school. I like to have a few healthy choices laid out on the table when the kids get home, my preschooler loves helping me set this out and when everyone arrives home I can focus on them and not snack. Snack doesn’t have to be elaborate. I like it to be something simple and healthy that the kids can eat while they work on their homework. Pretzels, apple slices, grapes, cheese strings. Sometimes I make a yummy batch of their favorite muffins. Getting the kids refueled after school is important and having a snack prepared ahead of time helps us get right down to business and get homework done!
2. Keep Homework supplies Handy. Keeping homework supplies well stocked and in a central location has really helped us cut down on the amount of time we spend doing homework each afternoon and eased the stress of after school time. When the kids came home they used to spend 5 or more minutes searching for a pencil or other supplies they needed to complete their work, not to mention getting distracted at some point during their search. I set up a very simple and inexpensive homework station in our home that houses all things homework related – from filing the kids school paper work, to supplies like clipboards, pencils, erasers, crayons, rulers, etc. I keep these items inside one of the baskets in a medium size craft caddy. Everything is located right next to the table where we do homework and the kids know where to find everything they need.
3. Have clear expectations. Our kids know that when they get home from school it’s clean up and put away their school things, have a snack and complete their homework before screen time or playing with friends. After countless battles with getting kids to turn off the tv, or trying to gather them in from outside playing with friends to finish homework, this is what works for us. Without the distraction of tv or screens, homework gets done quicker and getting to watch a favorite show or go play with friends is just the incentive they need to stay on task and get their homework done quickly.
4. Activities for younger siblings. If you have preschoolers in your home it can be tricky to devote your time to helping older siblings with homework. What I’ve found works for my preschooler is to have an activity book set out with us at the table while the big kids do their homework. This is a special activity book that only comes out at this time of day and it’s become a special daily ritual that she enjoys! She loves feeling like she’s a part of everything and doing her “homework” with the big kids, all the while she is occupied so that I can focus my attention on the older kids.
5. Develop a routine. Find an after school routine that works for you and stick with it. The key to having a stress-free after school time for our family has been having a regular routine, which includes putting shoes, backpacks and lunch supplies away first thing when the kids arrive home. Placing homework and papers at their spot at the table where we do homework. The kids sit down for snack and start on homework while they eat. We’ve fine tuned this routine and practiced it. We keep things the same and consistent and because the kids know what’s expected when they get home from school it’s taken the nagging from me out of the equation.
I hope these tips can help you to develop an after school homework routine that works for your family!

Starting But Not Finishing Behavior
Photo Credit: spodzone
Is there a diagnosis for people who start things, but never finish them? To start out excited and enthusiatic, spending money to get the project start or to start a class, but very soon after starting, lose interest very quickly.
This has not happened one or two times, but all the time. Commiting to groups, committees etc, but after attending a few meeting, never going back. Also, never keeping in contact with friends or family members even though they call or come by, but never returning the actions.
It is very unnerving to not know why these behaviors are exhibited! Is this possibly a kind of personality disorder? | <urn:uuid:908bc688-0789-40ae-a9e6-f76c1635b0ee> | CC-MAIN-2017-51 | https://www.all-about-psychology.com/starting-but-not-finishing-behavior.html | 2017-12-11T00:35:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-51/segments/1512948511435.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20171210235516-20171211015516-00246.warc.gz | en | 0.953036 | 144 |
Supernatural premieres on October 8 with its first Season 9 episode, "I Think I'm Gonna Like It Here." Director Guy Norman Bee helmed the second episode and gave examiner.com great spoilers on whether there's a time gap from season to season, how Sam is doing, and a familiar face taking hunters hostage!
Although I got the honor of directing the first episode of Season 9 it will air second due to actor availability (one of the guest stars was only available the first 2 days of the episode so we had to shoot him out) - It picks up right where the season premiere leaves off, and the season premiere picks up right where the season 8 finale leaves off! (unlike the one year gap between S7 and S8). Sam has been "cured" and the boys resume their lives as if the trials that Sam endured in S8 never affected him. We'll find out how he made this miraculous recovery in the premiere episode. The boys get word of a few of their hunter contemporaries that have been taken hostage by a familiar face from Season 8. He/She leads them to a spot outside Eugene, Oregon so He/She can get info about where Crowley is. How He/She is able to take hunters as hostages is a big part of the episode; by the recruiting of demons and getting them to "Be All That They Can Be!"
Plus, one of the show's cameramen posted a new BTS photo on Steadistar on Twitter.

The groundbreaking Massachusetts health insurance law may have prevented about 320 deaths a year, according to a Harvard study of the legislation that was used as a model for President Obama’s national health program.
The researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health, in a study published Monday, estimated that the law, which expanded coverage to most residents, has saved about one life for every 830 people who enrolled in health insurance.
“This is a strong and credible finding,” said Austin Frakt, a health economist at Boston University School of Medicine who wrote an editorial that accompanied the study. “I think there’s enough evidence at this point to conclude that health insurance does improve health and mortality.”
During the four years after Massachusetts implemented the 2006 law, death rates in the state dropped by nearly 3 percent among young and middle-age adults compared with similar populations in states that did not expand coverage, the researchers concluded.
Some health policy specialists were dubious about attributing the decline in deaths to the law. “I am skeptical that such an immediate and significant drop in mortality would occur after getting health insurance,” said Dr. Scott W. Atlas, a senior fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution.
Previous studies investigating whether health insurance led to fewer deaths have yielded mixed results. Researchers have observed that increasing Medicaid coverage to low-income people in certain states led to a drop in death rates, but an ongoing study of Oregon residents who were randomly assigned to get health coverage or not has found no difference in death rates. Facing a funding shortfall, Oregon in 2008 picked people by lottery for its Medicaid program, creating the unusual opportunity to conduct a randomized study of health insurance — which is the gold standard of health research.
The latest study, published Monday in the Annals of Internal Medicine, used a different methodology that did not allow researchers to firmly establish the cause of the observed reduction in deaths in Massachusetts. It looked at changes in death rates among adults ages 20 to 64 in Massachusetts before the state’s health law overhaul, from 2001 to 2005, and after, from 2007 to 2010.
“Our aim was to analyze young and middle-aged adults, the main group that didn’t have health insurance before the health law was passed,” said study leader Dr. Benjamin Sommers, an assistant professor of health policy and economics at the Harvard School of Public Health.
The researchers compared the changes in death rates in Massachusetts with what happened in counties across the country with comparable populations — with similar ages, socioeconomic status, and health insurance rates before 2006 — that were located in states that had not expanded insurance coverage. The mortality rates in those counties remained unchanged during the time period during which they fell in Massachusetts.
Elderly adults in Massachusetts, who mostly have Medicare coverage, also experienced no significant drop in their death rates compared with other states. This finding, in contrast to the death-rate decline among younger adults who were mostly likely to gain coverage, “suggests to us that health reform was the likely explanation,” Sommers said.
Adding strength to the finding was a larger drop in deaths due to preventable causes, such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and infections, compared with deaths that would not have been affected by health insurance, such as those caused by accidents, suicides, or acts of violence. The researchers found nearly a 5 percent decrease in the death rate for preventable causes.
“When more people gain access to insurance coverage, they gain better ways to use the health care system and have improved health outcomes,” said Diane Rowland, executive vice president of the Kaiser Family Foundation, a nonprofit health policy organization based in California. “Uninsured people don’t seek care as early as they need to, which can lead to death.”
A decade-old report from the Institute of Medicine estimated that 18,000 Americans die every year due to lack of health insurance, but that has been difficult to document in studies.
“If this turns out to be true, it’s good news, but it may not be true,” said John Goodman, president of the National Center for Policy Analysis, a public policy think tank based in Dallas.
The Oregon study, led MIT and Harvard researchers, found that after about two years, those given health insurance did not experience beneficial changes in blood pressure or their blood sugar levels compared with uninsured participants. But people with coverage perceived that their health had improved and their rates of depression declined.
Other studies looking at states that expanded Medicaid coverage found a 6 percent drop in mortality rates.
“All studies have limitations,” Rowland said, “and measuring the exact effect of health insurance has been difficult, but we do know it makes a difference in people’s lives and in their ability to lead a longer one.”Deborah Kotz can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.org.

Landlocked Wyoming Actually Has 32 Named Islands
The distance from Wyoming to the Pacific Ocean is 1,000 miles. Even though we’re a totally landlocked state, Wyoming actually has 32 named islands within its state lines.
And while the distance from Wyoming to Atlantic Ocean is almost 2,500 miles, there is a place where you can technically stand in both at the same time.
Two Ocean Pass on the Continental Divide in the Teton Wilderness is notable for one stream splitting into two distributaries at Parting of the Waters National Natural Landmark. These two creeks ultimately flow into their respective oceans.

After the Dodgers and Yankees split the first two games of the series, the rubber-match was all important since it determined the World Series outcome. Unfortunately, the Dodgers dropped it 5-1 and they’ve lost the final series of the year for the third consecutive season, this time to the Yankees.
Or something like that.
Clayton Kershaw started the game and unsurprisingly went at least six innings again, marking the 23rd time he’d done so in 23 tries this year. He also managed 12 strikeouts, a season high, and he walked none (one hit by pitch) while giving up only four hits.
The problem? Three of those hits were solo homers and that ended up being the difference.
On the other side of things, the offense struggled for about the fifth game in a row. Joc Pederson led things off for the Dodgers in the 1st with his 26th dong of the year.
Royally crushed. 👑 pic.twitter.com/M6MIOlACs2— Los Angeles Dodgers (@Dodgers) August 25, 2019
Max Muncy then followed with a double and it looked like the Dodgers were in business. However, Justin Turner hit a pop-up in front of home plate that dropped but was ruled out for interference (a weak but probably correct call) and the offense basically stalled there.
Other than the 1st, they stranded runners in the 3rd, 4th, and 6th, but the main problem is that they had just five hits and three walks.
Though none of it mattered, really, since … well, one run.
The Dodgers fall to 86-46 on the year with the loss.
They embark on a seven-game road trip now, stopping at San Diego first for three against the Padres. The game starts at 4:10 PM HST/7:10 PM PST/10:10 PM EST with Dustin May taking the ball as a starter for perhaps the last time this year against Eric Lauer. | <urn:uuid:0f105919-2dd1-4dc5-a1e3-8d7cf585d6f7> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | http://dodgersdigest.com/2019/08/25/yankees-5-dodgers-1-theyve-lost-the-world-series-again/ | 2021-10-20T20:52:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585348.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20211020183354-20211020213354-00454.warc.gz | en | 0.975958 | 416 |
I recently colored a music video for the band Trust for their song Capitol. It is a psychedelic sci-fi video that has vintage looking graphics and takes place in space. It features colorful shots of the singer mixed with "real world" shots of a girl who gets increasingly entranced until she is a part of the "space" realm.
Director Will Joines sat in with me during the color session at CVLT and we came up for the look of the video together. One goal was to figure out a way to merge the two worlds in the video. The shots of the band are very colorful with strong influences of magenta, purple, and blue, while the footage of the video's main character was very muted before color work.
What we ended up doing was very subtle, but I think it made the video more cohesive. I pushed the shadows a little bit towards magenta and brought more saturation to the pink background of the shot of the girl at the table. I also created two small power windows on the girl's eyes and really brought up the saturation in the blues to make her eyes pop. Finally a fairly heavy vignette was used to draw the views eye to her staring gaze.
The decision to bring out the pink/purple/blue/magenta palette in the "real world" scenes really worked and definitely helps with the cohesion of the video. But don't take my word for it, check out the video below: | <urn:uuid:725ffb5a-02f9-4e5d-aeac-f3de7376f7d6> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://www.joshkanuck.com/latest-projects/2014/4/10/the-big-bang-theory-it-was-magenta | 2017-06-29T03:41:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128323864.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20170629033356-20170629053356-00250.warc.gz | en | 0.966159 | 295 |
Waterloo and the D-Day landings have lost the title of Britain's greatest battle to a vital - but lesser known - clash against the Japanese in World War Two.
The Battle of Imphal and the simultaneous Battle of Kohima saw British Empire troops fight Japanese forces in horrendous jungle conditions in northeast India in 1944.
Imphal/Kohima was picked over the more celebrated land battles in a contest organised by the National Army Museum in London.
Rorke's Drift in the 1879 Zulu War and the Battle of Aliwal in the Anglo-Sikh War in Punjab in 1846 brought up the rear.
"Great things were at stake in a war with the toughest enemy any British army has had to fight," historian Robert Lyman said of Imphal/Kohima.
If Lieutenant General William Slim's army of British, Indian, Gurkha and African troops had lost, the consequences for the Allies would have been catastrophic, he said.
The criteria of the contest included the battles' political and historical impact, the challenges the troops faced, and the strategy and tactics employed.
Waterloo had topped an online poll which produced a list of 20 land battles fought since the English Civil War. The top five were then debated at the museum before going to an audience vote.
The winner was something of a surprise given the enduring prominence of Waterloo and D-Day/Normandy in Britain.
The troops who fought in India and Burma in World War Two called themselves The Forgotten Army.
The Battle of Imphal/Kohima took place in 1944 in Nagaland when Japanese troops poured over the Burmese border to strike at India.
Fought over a vast area of jungle and mountain, it was marked by vicious hand-to-hand fighting.
The successful British defence meant they were then able to push into Burma and roll back the Japanese from mainland Asia.
"The victory was of a profound significance because it demonstrated categorically to the Japanese that they were not invincible," said Mr Lyman.
"This was to be very important in preparing the entire Japanese nation to accept defeat."
He ranked it with Midway, El Alamein and Stalingrad as the main turning point battles of World War Two.
His adversary in the debate, former Parachute Regiment Colonel Stuart Tootal, argued a strong case for the D-Day landings and subsequent Battle for Normandy against Nazi Germany in 1944.
Although movies such as Saving Private Ryan have highlighted the US role in the campaign, the operation was under the command of Britain's Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery. | <urn:uuid:69bb0564-9566-43fa-84dc-82ff71e1ae8c> | CC-MAIN-2015-22 | http://news.sky.com/story/1080949/waterloo-good-but-not-uks-greatest-battle | 2015-05-22T15:34:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-22/segments/1432207925274.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20150521113205-00090-ip-10-180-206-219.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.971895 | 532 |
In Memoriam: Lt. Christopher “Bueller” Short
HOLLOMAN AIR FORCE BASE, N.M. – At approximately 11:30 a.m., June 22, Lt. Christopher “Bueller” Short, a U.S. Navy pilot, lost his life when an A-29 Super Tucano crashed over the Red Rio Bombing Range.
“A couple of weeks ago, a good friend and service member passed away during flying training at Holloman,” said Lt. Cmdr. James Cunningham, 586th Flight Test Squadron Light Attack Weapons Systems officer. “Lt. Short was a phenomenal pilot. I did not think anyone could love light attack more than I do, but he did. We love and cherish Chris’s memory and he is going to live on in our memories forever.”
Short, known affectionately by his peers as Bueller, was a dedicated pilot, husband and friend.
“We worked really closely with each other as a team for two months and it’s like we lost a brother,” said Maj. Ryan Bone, 586th Flight Test Squadron chief of scheduling. “It may sound weird only knowing someone for two months, but we all took it really hard. To be able to pay our tributes to him in a lasting fashion means a lot to us.”
In a celebration of Short’s life, dozens gathered on July 13, 2018, to put on a day full of memorial events and create a lasting symbol of his time at Holloman Air Force Base, starting with a hike in the Tularosa mountains.
“Typically on any given weekend throughout the six to seven weeks we were together, we would gather a group and push out for a hike,” said Maj. Jim Stokman, 586th Flight Test Squadron Light Attack Experiment Operations Sections Chief. “Coming out, getting into nature, talking and enjoying the quiet and scenery after a long week is what it was all about.”
The hike went through a mountain trail that Short and his friends would hike several times throughout their tour at Holloman.
“We finished a portion of the trail that Bueller wanted to finish while he was here,” said Cunningham. “We would go hiking every Sunday morning, on our off time while we were flying out of Holloman. The first time I sent out a message that said ‘meet here at 5:30 a.m.,’ Chris was the first guy to show up. That became a weekly tradition where every Sunday morning we would get up early and we would go for a hike in the beautiful mountains surrounding Holloman Air Force Base. When Bueller passed we got the idea of dedicating something to him in the mountains overlooking the valley. Today we finished the hike for him and dedicated a bench in his honor.”
At the end of the Rim Trail in the Tularosa basin, a bench, embedded with Short’s name, was placed in his honor. The Rim Trail was Short’s final hike that he was never able to finish.
Following the hike, dozens gathered at Holloman for a final flyover topped off by a ceremonial piano burn. The burning of a piano is a tradition that dates back to the Battle of Britain, toasting the end of a pilot’s life.
Lt. Christopher “Bueller” Short was born on April 24, 1986. He was his class valedictorian when he graduated high school in 2004. He graduated with a Bachelor’s of Science in Aviation Flight Operations from Westminster College in 2008.
Short completed primary flight training in Pensacola, Florida, in 2009 and advanced strike fighter training in Kingsville, Texas, in 2010. After receiving his “wings of gold,” he was selected to fly F/A-18 Super Hornets in Oceana, Virginia, where he completed training at VFA-10 and VFA-32. During his time at VFA-32, Bueller completed a combat tour in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, flying off the deck of the USS Harry Truman, protecting troops on the ground in Afghanistan. Next, he received orders to VFC-12 where he was chosen to attend the Navy’s premier “TOPGUN” adversary course, graduating first in his class.
In 2018, seeing the great potential in the latest Light Attack aircraft, Bueller volunteered and was hand-selected as one of seventeen aircrew to attend the Light Attack Experiment, Phase II at Holloman AFB, New Mexico.
This loss has been felt Department of Defense wide, affecting the lives of everyone who met Short. Since his death, many have stepped forward to express the impact he had on their lives. He will be remembered as a thoughtful friend, a man of integrity, a man of honor and one amazing pilot.
“I think a lot of us will see Holloman again,” said Bone. “And when we do, we will be back here to pay our respects. He was a quiet professional in the aircraft, and outside of the aircraft he had a love and a zest for life.”

When Peter (After throwing a football which dented one of the goalposts) is asked if he wants to play football, his response is "Too dangerous". On the base of things, it looks like a sarcastic comment, especially since the trailers show this scene right at the end, after various clips of Spider-Man in peril. But Peter's right, football is too dangerous for him to play... Because he has super strength & could easily injure the other players without trying, as evidenced by the newly dented goalpost.
Judging by how nice Flash was being to Peter at the end of the movie, it seems like his humiliation on the basketball court might not have been the pointless vengeance Uncle Ben saw it as. Perhaps getting a taste of his own medicine helped shape the boy for the better.
Considering that he seemed to know how it feels to lose a loved one, how it feels better to lash out at someone, there may be more at play.
At the same time, it did show that Flash was not a sadistic Jerk Jock that most would come to expect.
Why did the cops show up so fast when Pete messed with the car thief? Because they were watching him so he could lead them back to the boss.
For that matter, the fact that the car thief had this complicated electronic thingy instead of say, a coathanger, should have indicated something about whatever resources he had.
Like back in Spider-Man 2 we have a mad scientist using his newfound powers on the people who cut his funding (though this also happened in Fantastic Four) and Peter using his brains to win over a scientist who turns into the Big Bad.
The finale has something that can best be described as a "Chekhov's Disarming". During his run to the tower, Peter seals his bullet wound with webbing. Once he reaches the tower, the Lizard crushes his webshooters, meaning he can't use them to seal up Captain Stacy's impalement wounds later on.
Another reason for destroying the webshooters was so that at the critical moment when he goes over the side of the building, it is the bad guy (in an act of redemption) that is his only hope of rescue.
Some viewers complained about Peter's name being on the back of his camera when he tried to take pictures of the Lizard in the sewer (which lead to the Lizard learning his identity), as he shouldn't have done something too dumb. But something I've noticed in some of the comics (at least the Ultimate ones) and one animated TV series is that Spidey gets cocky sometimes. Considering that he was playing games on his phone while waiting for the Lizard to show up, really lax for someone waiting for a dangerous monster, it probably never crossed his mind that something would go wrong.
The bridge scene is pivot for many reasons to be sure. But also consider that Ben was a draftsman of bridges; while a bridge is certainly an easy way to have lots of tension combined with innocent bystanders, it's perhaps one of the symbols that strikes Peter at the moment to turn from vigilante into hero because he's reminded of Ben in that moment.
Some people on WMG wonder why Manhattan has so many cranes. Then it hit me: if Marvel hadn't been pressed for time, OsCorp would've cameoed in The Avengers, meaning they would be in the same continuity. And, more importantly, there's nothing saying they still aren't. New York has so many cranes because they're still making repairs after the Chitauri invasion!
When Parker informs Captain Stacy of The Lizard's real identity and Captain Stacy asks for info on it, nothing ever became of it. In the sequel, it's shown that whenever something bad happens at Oscorp, the board of directors immediately start covering stuff up. Considering Curtis was just fired from Oscorp a few days ago and a giant, rampant lizard is on the loose, it's likely that Oscorp wanted to cover up his info too, which is why Captain Stacy couldn't find anything. It's probably also why Captain Stacy believed Spider-Man so easily in the climax; he personally knew Curtis was a good and brilliant man, having little to no info come up has got to ring some alarm bells for him.
The ending where Peter implies he's going to break his promise to George Stacy and date Gwen. While it was cute in the movie itself, if the movies follow the comic then Gwen will eventually die after being a hostage in a Spider-Man fight. If Peter would've kept his promise, Gwen would likely live.note Confirmed as of the sequel, as Gwen was about to permanently leave Peter's life by going to Oxford, and him insisting on her staying is what ultimately got her killed.
Gwen is on her way to the airport near the climax. It's after she talks with Peter that Max attacks the grid and they go save the city.
Watching Peter so recklessly toss Gwen out a window and then stop her fall by webbing her shows how little he knows at the moment about how fragile her body is. This may come back to bite him...
It worked with a small kid, how would he know?
To be fair with the kid, he caught the kid by the chest. Also, the kid was essentially motionless and vertical while Gwen was caught by the ... ahem... waist and both prone and in active freefall. Maaaaajor difference.
This ended up being a cross-series foreshadowing, as Gwen does indeed die when Peter tries to save her in this fashion after she falls down a clock tower.
Pre-powers, Peter stole an intern's identity and got him thrown out of an amazing opportunity at a large company. The poor guy's life up to that point was probably ruined and even though it's treated as a gag he seems pretty distraught over it. Rendered less relevant by the whole Lizard incident and Connors going to jail probably messing with the whole internship thing anyway (and Oscorp is likely a lot less prestigious a place to work because of it).
On the bridge - there's a brief moment where Peter contemplates continuing his fight with the Lizard after Crane-Dad shouts for someone to help save his son. If Peter had gone after the Lizard instead of helping the kid, he would've stopped the second half of the movie from happening & saved Captain Stacy's life,, since the Lizard formula's starting to wear off & turn Connors back to normal at the time; but the kid would have died in the meantime, and Spider-Man would be branded a menace who left a child to die since he'd rather continue fighting. Plus, since he'd just told Gwen that he's Spider-Man, it'd more than likely destroy their budding relationship & she could easily tell her father who Spider-Man was out of sheer disgust over Peter letting a kid die.
That's only if people knew that that had happened. Even with the kid's father knowing Peter saved him, the police apparently hadn't heard about it. They didn't know what Peter was doing other than being there. Unless Peter feels the need to tell everyone (which, guilt-ridden, he might) no one's going to realize he literally chose to stop the bad guy over saving a kid. He would just be a kid who died in the accident. | <urn:uuid:4df2944b-816b-4792-85be-a468dd36f1c4> | CC-MAIN-2016-18 | http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Fridge/TheAmazingSpiderman | 2016-05-05T09:29:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-18/segments/1461860126377.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20160428161526-00068-ip-10-239-7-51.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.986594 | 1,510 |
I had a great time at LinuxCon this week, and I loved that it was held here in Portland, OR. My favorite part of the event was running into old friends and ex-coworkers from my days at Intel who I haven’t seen in ages. It was great catching up with everyone, and I even managed to introduce a few of them to Whiffies and some of my other favorite food carts for quick lunches or late night snacks.
I did a much longer review of the event over on the Olliance Blog, but I wanted to highlight a few things here on Fast Wonder, too.
I love the sense of community that you get at conferences where most of the audience members are open source developers. People with laptops were clustered together in little groups having conversations, working on code, and eating Voodoo donuts (how many conferences have strangely colored donuts covered with things like bacon and breakfast cereal?)
My favorite community-related session was a keynote by Bdale Garbee on The Freedom to Collaborate. Much of what he said is common knowledge for those us in the open source world, but it got me thinking more about how companies and communities interact. I won’t duplicate everything here, but I wrote several paragraphs with my thoughts on this session on the Olliance Blog.
Linus Torvalds. The Linux Kernel Roundtable was one of the most popular sessions with a room full of geeks listening to Linus and other kernel developers talk about various Linux kernel topics.
Moblin. This was a hot topic at the event, and I’m not just saying this because Intel is a client. People were talking about Moblin in hallways and presenters kept mentioning them in sessions. This was a Linux Foundation event, and Moblin was turned over to the Linux Foundation by Intel in early April, so that could explain at least some of the buzz.
Fun. We had the Fake Linus Torvalds contest where Matt Asay came out ahead of Dan Lyons (the famous FakeSteveJobs guy). We even had an appearance from Steve Ballmer, or maybe it was Jeremy Allison as Steve Ballmer at the Golden Penguin Bowl, which was filled with funny geek trivia and a live helicopter battle.

FIVE SWEETPEAS AND A CUCUMBER
Like a fine wine I don’t travel well so I have only ventured abroad twice in 20 years (that’s if you don’t count Jersey). However a promise is a promise: We have just returned from a visit to Cyprus, home of my oldest friend Naomi, to celebrate her 60th birthday. (I bet she’ll thank me for that announcement!). I had forgotten how exotic the Mediterranean was. Oh the flowers! So the British have their privet and box hedges, but the Cypriots have oleander, lantana and hibiscus hedges! Cannas growing like weeds at the road side, ipomoea scrambling through wire mesh fences, callistemon in flower now. Little gems (well not literally lettuces but nothing would surprise me) like gentians and eryngium, nestling in shingle on beaches and rock faces. Banana plantations! Cactus flowers 20ft tall! Whether it’s the British ex-pat community over there or just brute adaptability, the roses were magnificent: I have to say though that the species roses growing wild amongst other indigenous shrubs looked more comfortable than the cultivated ones, somehow incongruous, in domestic gardens. And green lawns, hmmm, a sure sign of British ownership methinks.
As well as being in flora heaven, the fauna was highly entertaining too. Opportunist sparrows, more like our robins, silently prospecting our alfresco dining – unnerving if you are not a fan of Hitchcock’s The Birds – quick as a flash, dive bombing for French Fries in formation, the final flourish provided by a hooded crow who swooped down and carried off half of an 8” seeded baguette complete with cream cheese topping. (I wonder if foreign tourists find seagulls quite so entertaining in Southend when they steal your chips; come to think of it, do foreign tourists go to Southend?) As in so many other Mediterranean resorts, the feral cat population is alive and well thank you. By and large they are in good condition due to trapping and neutering programs established by the numerous cat sanctuaries on Cyprus. At Naomi’s apartment complex, her Russian neighbour regularly feeds the resident feral community and it was highly entertaining to see them gathering around at dawn and dusk, staring intently up at her balcony willing her to hurry up with the grub. (Evidently there are Mad Cat Women the world over.) Like a scene out of West Side Story they roamed around in their gangs, lazing arrogantly around the pool in the sunshine, occasionally brushing up against rival factions. Clearly not starving, they barely lifted their heads to register the swifts that were dive bombing the surface of the water for insects.
However, here we are again in East Finchley. One week since our return and I find myself reflecting upon the joys of travel. Although I appear to be well on the way to conquering yet another phobia, this time flying, I don’t think that I shall be making a habit of it. Holidays are all very well but I won’t be leaving the garden to its own devises again any time soon! Oh the stress of it! Should I leave the irrigation system running or switch it off? Will I return to scorched earth or sodden borders? Two days prior to departure I decided it was prudent to relocate the dozen or so trays of seedlings and annuals from the greenhouse to our spare room. With temperatures so unpredictable and access so hazardous (plants-for-sale, hastily moved into the shade, were blocking the path to the back of the garden) at least this way friend Anne could keep an eye on them when she fed the cats.
After only five days away (trip dates had to work around our local Plant Heritage sale, never mind Naomi’s birthday) the garden had gone berserk! How do other gardeners manage to go away for a fortnight? Having loaded up the washing machine for the ninetieth time in 12 hours (slight exaggeration, but still, yet another reason not to go on holiday) I could at last concentrate on the garden. Once the nursery trays had been returned to the greenhouse (thanks Anne, what’s your secret, they have doubled in size!) and the plants-for-sale had been revived, it was time to plant up the T&M tomatoes, Garnet, Mountain Magic & Indigo Cherry Drops, into their final positions, then turn my attention to the patio.
With the assorted T&M jonquils finally over, I turfed them out of their pots, foliage and all, ready for replanting on the allotment. Not known for my patience or adherence to the six week rule, out came the rest of the spent bulb leaves from the permanent planting schemes. I’ll take my chances! You may remember my concerns regarding my two towering abutilons, well readers, they are well deadski, as my friend Laurie from the Bronx used to say! Quel dommage! ………..And five minutes later I muse that golden hop might look striking combined with blue ipomoea and black eyed Susan. There’s no sentiment in war, or gardening it seems.
So anyway, with Spring Phase One out of the way, next weekend is Hanging Basket and Container Display time. Yippee! Having successfully overwintered several cannas on the patio for the first time, I planted out some additional divisions in April. Hostas and heucheras, suspended in hanging baskets out of harm’s way, are slug (and Fred the cat) free. The piece de resistance will be T&M Begonia Non-Stop Mocca Bright Orange, Begonia Glowing Embers, Petunia Mini Rosebud Peachy combined with coleus Campfire & black and lime green ipomoeas. I love creating the patio displays, and whilst I was reminded by fellow blogger Julie Quinn that gardening is about the process not the finished result (more of that later), summer bedding schemes are like stage sets with a definite beginning and end.
Talking of Julie Quinn, isn’t it a small world. There she is, gardening away no more than 2 miles down the road from me, attending all the same local plant sales, with friends and acquaintances in common, loves cats and has medical connections. Julie made me very welcome for afternoon tea at her house where we shared horticultural experiences, knowledge and opinions in her beautiful paved garden. Thank you Julie, it was a pleasure to meet you and I look forward to seeing you again soon.
Last Saturday we held our Hort. Soc. plant sale in the Hampstead Garden Suburb. My spy tells me that, whilst queuing to get in, visitors were enthusing about this annual event as one of the highlights of the neighbourhood social whirl, not to be missed. I love selling – once a retailer always a retailer; shoppers still stop me in department stores and ask me where the loo is – so I was in my element amongst the trailing lobelia and petunias, “All plants on sale for £1.40 each.” I have however lost the art of adding up in my head and so hastily produced a crib sheet of £1.40 times table. There was a huge selection of veg and salad plugs and of course I couldn’t resist some extras for the greenhouse and allotment. Having guarded my purchases throughout the morning (funny how seemingly civilized locals can turn into marauding rabble when there’s a bargain to be had) I took my eye off the ball, for one minute I tell you, and they were gone! Panic set in; the Great Clear Up had begun, car boots were searched to no avail, fellow committee members were eyeing me with caution as I interrupted conversations to enquire, “Has anyone seem my five sweet peas and a cucumber?” Indeed, ever efficient chairperson Doc Page and the team had tidied them away ready to be returned to the local nursery, so I guiltily retrieved them and beat a hasty retreat! I am happy to report that they are all now happily in situ and growing on well.
So much to do, and without our usual mid-June NGS Open Day deadline it feels strange to be just ambling along with tasks at a leisurely pace. But my new mantra, “Gardening is about the process not the finished result” ringing in my ears, I can finally allow myself to potter gently on. Yeah right, until the next disaster….. | <urn:uuid:9f148b6b-c8be-47dc-a80c-a59cd72bff23> | CC-MAIN-2019-35 | https://blog.thompson-morgan.com/tm-triallists-blog-may-2017/ | 2019-08-24T03:21:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-35/segments/1566027319470.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20190824020840-20190824042840-00477.warc.gz | en | 0.952435 | 1,810 |
Amor fati and the eternal recurrence
Nietzsche may have encountered the idea of the Eternal Recurrence in the works of Heinrich Heine, who speculated that one day a person would be born with the same thought-processes as himself, and that the same applied to every other individual. Nietzsche expanded on this thought to form his theory, which he put forth in The Gay Science and developed in Thus Spoke Zarathustra. Schopenhauer directly influenced this theory. Schopenhauer postulated that a person who unconditionally affirms life would do so even if everything that has happened were to happen again repeatedly.
Nietzsche's view on eternal return is similar to that of Hume: "the idea that an eternal recurrence of blind, meaningless variation—chaotic, pointless shuffling of matter and law—would inevitably spew up worlds whose evolution through time would yield the apparently meaningful stories of our lives. This idea of eternal recurrence became a cornerstone of his nihilism, and thus part of the foundation of what became existentialism." Nietzsche was so impressed by this idea, that he at first thought he had discovered a new scientific proof of the greatest importance, referring to it as the "most scientific of hypotheses". He gradually backed-off of this view, and in later works referred to it as a thought-experiment. "Nietzsche viewed his argument for eternal recurrence as a proof of the absurdity or meaninglessness of life, a proof that no meaning was given to the universe from on high."
What if a demon were to creep after you one day or night, in your loneliest loneness, and say: "This life which you live and have lived, must be lived again by you, and innumerable times more. And mere will be nothing new in it, but every pain and every joy and every thought and every sigh—everything unspeakably small and great in your life—must come again to you, and in the same sequence and series. . . . The eternal hourglass will again and again be turned—and you with it, dust of dust!" Would you not throw yourself down and curse the demon who spoke to you thus? Or have you once experienced a tremendous moment, in which you would answer him: "Thou art a god, and never have I heard anything more divine!" [The Gay Science (1882), p. 341 (passage translated in Danto 1965, p. 210).] | <urn:uuid:f1211afe-eb25-4a6b-92ce-745fadc2f575> | CC-MAIN-2017-51 | https://fnietzsche.com/philosophy-of-friedrich-nietzsche-amor-fati-and-the-eternal-recurrence | 2017-12-16T12:59:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-51/segments/1512948588072.75/warc/CC-MAIN-20171216123525-20171216145525-00101.warc.gz | en | 0.971493 | 504 |

Active mainly in New York City, in 2017, Mac is a recipient of a “Genius Grant” from the John D. And Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and was a finalist for the 2017 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. He goes by the pronounc “judy”, capitalized only when it appears at the beginning of a sentence.
Taylor Mac created and hosted the political vaudeville Live Patriot Acts: Patriots Gone Wiiiiildd! during the Republican National Convention in 2004.
Judy is the author of Joy and Pandemic; Gary: A Sequel to Titus Andronicus; A 24-Decade History of Popular Music; Prosperous Fools; The Fre; Hir; The Walk Across America for Mother Earth; The Lily’s Revenge; The Young Ladies Of; Red Tide Blooming; Cardiac Arrest or Venus on a Half-Clam; The Face of Liberalism, Okay, A Crevice, The Hot Month; and the revues Holiday Sauce; The Last Two People on Earth (created with Mandy Patinkin, Susan Stroman and Paul Ford); Comparison is Violence; and The Be(A)st of Taylor Mac. Mac is the first American to receive the International Ibsen Award, is a MacArthur Fellow, a Pulitzer Prize Finalist, a Tony nominee for Best Play, and the recipient of the Kennedy Prize (with Matt Ray), the Doris Duke Performing Artist Award, a Guggenheim, the Herb Alpert Award, a Drama League Award, the Helen Merrill Playwriting Award, the Booth, two Helpmann Awards, a NY Drama Critics Circle Award, two Obie’s, two Bessies, and an Ethyl Eichelberger. An alumnus of New Dramatists, judy is currently the resident playwright at the Here Arts Center.
Since at least 2012, Mac and musical director/arranger Matt Ray developed A 24–Decade History of Popular Music, a performance that covers music popular in the United States from 1776 to the 2016, with one hour dedicated to each decade with a corresponding costume designed by long-time collaborator Machine Dazzle. This work culminated in a 24-hour performance in October 2016 with one hour dedicated to each decade. Wesley Morris of the New York Times said of the 24-hour concert, “Mr. Mac gave me one of the great experiences of my life. I’ve slept on it, and I’m sure. It wasn’t simply the physical feat. Although, come on: 246 songs spanning 240 years for 24 straight hours, including small breaks for judy to eat, hydrate and use the loo, and starting in 1776 with a great-big band and ending with Mac, alone in 2016, doing original songs on piano and ukulele.” In 2017, the performance was a finalist for the Pulitzer. It appeared fifth on a list by The Guardian writers of the best theatrical works since 2000. In October 2018, in the run-up to the 2018 midterm elections, Mac performed a cover of Patti Smith’s People Have the Power after appearing as guest on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
In October 2020 Mac won the prestigious International Ibsen Award, known to some as the “Nobel Prize for Theater,” which is conferred by the Norwegian Ministry of Culture. Mac is the first American to have received the award (it comes with a cash prize of approximately $300,000) and accepted it during a special livestreamed event, titled Taylor Mac’s Holiday Sauce…Pandemic!, on December 12th.
“Taylor Mac asks fundamental questions about what theater should be and why it matters in in the 21st century,” the International Ibsen Award Committee said in a statement. “In a world of increased polarization and divisions, Taylor Mac crafts work that shows theater’s potential to bind and unite audiences, to think about how we relate to culture in its various forms, and what it means to engage with other human beings imaginatively, ethically, and politically, through the act of performance.”
Mac uses “judy” (lowercase) as a gender pronoun, chosen in reference to American actress Judy Garland. Mac has been influenced by the Radical Faeries and invokes “Radical Faerie realness ritual” during performances | <urn:uuid:776d9b20-b6ec-4c21-8558-3be6b371d96d> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.whitecraneinstitute.org/tdih_event/1973-08-24 | 2021-10-22T04:22:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585450.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20211022021705-20211022051705-00296.warc.gz | en | 0.94623 | 937 |

The award-giving ceremony of the 2019 edition of the National Book Prize was held this evening at San Anton Palace under the auspices of the President of the Republic of Malta, H.E. George Vella. The ceremony was hosted by TVM news anchor and journalist Keith Demicoli.
In his opening speech, National Book Council (NBC) Executive Chairperson Mark Camilleri noted that this was the first time the National Book Prize Ceremony is being held under the auspices of the President of the Republic. While the NBC and the book industry have received unprecedented support from the Office of the Prime Minister over the past years, the latter’s implication at the end of 2019 in the investigation into the assassination of Daphne Caruana Galizia, and the Council’s duty to the safeguard the interests of its stockholders, have led to the decision for the NBC to distance itself from the institution. Camilleri remarked that, albeit not a writer of books, Daphne Caruana Galizia was one of us, a fellow writer, and her being killed because of her writing is an unacceptable state of affairs to say the least.
In such challenging times, Camilleri appealed to H.E. George Vella to take up the very important role of a patron and champion of writers’ and publishers’ interests through the President’s support to the NBC. The book industry and its writers remain a bastion of hope to address the challenges of fear, censorship, and political degradation, and therefore all the more of a reason to protect them.
In tandem, the NBC will keep on working to support the book market and foster a love for reading. Year after year, the Council has striven to raise the monetary value of the National Book Prize, as well as the rigorous process of its adjudication, and will continue to do so.
The NBC Chairperson celebrated the high level of fiction and academic works competing for this year’s Prize, congratulating all of those shortlisted. In closing, Camilleri invited writers to look beyond the competition and recognise their strength in influencing society to overcome its present challenges.
Winning authors and publishers received their awards from President George Vella. These included prizes for books (published in 2018) shortlisted across eight respective categories. The winner in the category ‘Short Stories in Maltese and English’ was Trevor Żahra’s 365 (Merlin Publishers). The winning title in the ‘General research’ category was Il-Maltin: Għemilhom, Drawwiethom, Ġrajjiethom; It-Tieni Volum by Steve Borg, published by Klabb Kotba Maltin. Fortress Colony: The Final Act 1945-1964; Vol. 4 1961-1964 by Joseph M. Pirotta (Midsea Books) won in the ‘Biographical and historiographic research’ category. Marie Brigulio and Steve Bonello won the category for Literary Nonfiction with No Man’s Land: People, Place & Pollution (Kite Group). Parallel Existences. The Notarial Archives: A Photographer’s Inspiration published by Kite Group won the Prize for Best Book Production. The Prize for ‘Novels in Maltese and English’ was not awarded.
Maria Grech Ganado won the first prize for Poetry with her collection Framed (Merlin Publishers). Having previously won the Prize for poetry in 2000, 2006 and 2015, she is also the first recipient of the Poet Laureate Award. The Award for Best Emergent Writer went to Gioele Galea. The Lifetime Achievement Award, in recognition of an accomplished literary career and long list of publications including plays, short stories, novels, and non-fiction, was conferred on Dr Alfred Sant.
Minister for Education and Employment Owen Bonnici congratulated all shortlisted and winning authors and remarked on the positive developments in the Maltese literary sector, particularly the growth of the Malta Book Festival. Bonnici encouraged writers to keep practicing their craft, stating that they play a crucial role in the development of society, at once reflecting it, and in the process, shaping its future.
H.E. President George Vella expressed his appreciation for the efforts made by Maltese authors and their talent and expressed satisfaction that publishers are supporting Maltese writers, while remarking that there has never been a time when so many Maltese books were being published as there are now. While congratulating the National Book Prize winners, he wished upon them that they keep on writing in freedom and provide readers with more information about the Maltese culture and identity through their books.
The National Book Council would like to thank the members of the jury who served on the adjudication board for the National Book Prize 2019: Prof. Yosanne Vella, Mr. Mario Ellul, Ms. Maria Giuliana Fenech for the categories ‘General Research’,’Biographical and historiographic research’ and ‘Literary Nonfiction’; Mr. Kevin Saliba, Dr. Slavomir Ceplo and Mr. David Hudson for the categories ‘Novels in Maltese and English’ and ‘Poetry in Maltese and English’.

Ever wish that you looked as perfect as a porcelain doll? Well, if so, read on!
1Get clear, shining skin. Perfect skin can be encouraged without expensive brands. Use a quality face wash such as "Yes To Tomatoes" face wash each morning and night.Ad
2Follow with a mask:
- Smoothing and disinfecting mask: 3 tablespoons honey, 4 tablespoons rice flour or regular flour, 2 tablespoons milk, or until a paste is formed. Leave it on until it dries.
- Exfoliation mask: 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 2 tablespoons honey, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder.
3Apply eyeshadow. Pick a base coat that is close to your skin tone and apply a light, even coat. Then get a light pastel pink eyeshadow and put it on your upper lid. Blend them using a brush or your finger. Use a light maroon/brown eyeshadow for your crease and blend it. This creates the effect of doll eyes-- big and deep-set.
4Apply a thick coat of your favourite mascara. If you have an eyelash curler, it's best to use it before applying mascara. If not, move on to the next step.
5Foster smooth lips. Doll lips are always smooth, so make sure you get enough good fats and water in your diet. Using an innocent pink or dolly red lipstick will make you pop. Lip stain is very nice too, because most dolls wear little makeup. Try to avoid sparkly lip gloss or lipstick. It ruins the effect.
6Blend colours by matching. With blush, it's best to try to match the colour with the lips. Pink lips should be paired with pink blush. You will need quite a bit of this in order to highlight the cheekbones enough to achieve the porcelain look. Use a big brush for this. Smile, and apply it on the apples of your cheeks and a tiny bit on your temples.
7Curl your hair in an old fashioned corkscrew for the full effect, or opt for a slightly wavy hairdo. Feel free to add a ribbon or an Alice band matching the colour of your dress.
8Wear a Victorian style dress. Quite a lot of porcelain dolls are Victorian styled, so try to wear a dress which covers your knees and has lace. Good colours are pastel pink, baby blue and lilac. Puff sleeves also enhance the look. Pantyhose underneath your dress is a must! A corset is also recommended.
9Wear the right shoes. The best shoes are Mary Jane style shoes or flat pumps. do not wear any athletic shoes like sneakers. This ruins the effect completely. You are trying to look as feminine and pretty as possible.
10Accessorize. A locket or faux pearls are dolly accessories which will complete the look, but aren't necessary.Ad
We could really use your help!
beauty tips and tricks?
- Try to look as neat and tidy as possible. Dolls are perfect, so when trying to look like one you must be nearly perfect too. But remember, almost every doll has at least one out-of-place curl or a stitch of the dress that is a little too loose.
- Remember, regimens are a friend and a good regimen is a good friend.
- When doing the eyelashes, curl them before applying mascara. This is a lot easier than doing it the other way around.
- If you wear this makeup in public you may get laughed/stared at so be prepared.

Talent Acquisition Director and Recruiting Manager Reveal What Stands Out for New Hires at Herc Rentals
When job seekers apply for a position at a company, one of the first questions they’ll ask themselves is if they’re the right fit.
In most cases, that job applicant, whether it’s for a position in sales or a position as a driver or technician, won’t really know until after they’ve been hired and have been working at the company for several months, explained Tom Wirtz, Herc Rentals Talent Acquisition Director.
Unlike competitors and other large corporations, opportunity for new recruits at Herc Rentals is abundant. “There are a couple things that make us attractive for people who have been in the industry as well as those who are completely new to it,” Wirtz said. “One, we’re still young. We still have that start-up mentality and the runway for candidates is really long. We’re still creating roles. We’ve had several special situations where we’ve had a fantastic candidate with an exceptional skill set and we’ve created a role for him or her. That’s where we’re different.”
“The flexibility is still there for us to be creative, where I think some of our peers are a little less accommodating to new approaches,” Wirtz continued. “They’ve merged and acquired, and it’s very hard to be flexible (with new hires) when you’re trying to merge cultures. We’re creating our culture from the bottom up. That makes us very different right now.”
In the very recent past, Herc has created resource groups for women and veterans as well as certifying two diversity recruiters. The company also beefed up its internal educational efforts with the 5 Tool Manager development series, the Black and Gold Early Career Academy, and the ProDriver Academy.
For job applicants who have been in or out of the rental business, Herc Rentals often proves to be far less rigid than its rivals, said Mike Nastri, Herc Rentals recruiting manager. “We’re going to play to your strengths, and I don’t think everyone does that,” he said. “At other places, it’s like ‘We have our system in place. We have our organization. You mold to us.’ That’s not how Herc Rentals does it.”
Nastri adds, “What are you really good at? What do you enjoy doing? Let’s maximize that.”
Wirtz agreed. “We’ll take their unique skill-set and either create something around them or we’ll tailor the role to their strengths,” he explained. “A lot of companies won’t do that. They’ll say, here’s the job description, here’s what you’re going to do on a day-to-day basis, now go.”
And that’s not a bad thing, Wirtz confessed. “Some of our competitors are so big (they need qualified people to step in, and hit the ground running without much hand-holding). That’s not what we want to do,” he said. “We have close to 5,000 employees and we’re continuing to grow. We have to be flexible.”
In Demand: Drivers and Technicians
Now and into the foreseeable future, drivers and technicians will continue to be in demand. To meet the demand for more drivers and technicians, Herc Rentals built a pipeline for career advancement with its development and toolbox programs aimed at growing talent from the ground up.
“Those programs, as we continue to build them, allows our entry level team members to grow their careers,” said Wirtz, adding that while these programs put the employee on the fast track toward career advancement, they also benefit the company. “It represents great opportunities for us. It’ll create a pipeline for our future drivers and technicians. We can teach them our business, grow them into these roles; then send them off to school and to get their CDL. We have programs in place to help assist for those things as well.”
Recruiter competition for drivers is fierce, but Herc Rentals has one major advantage over large trucking companies. “They’ll be in their bed every night. They’re working a first shift kind of role,” Wirtz said. “The biggest sell for us over a lot of these trucking companies is that we’ll train them in our ProDriver Academy, they’ll learn how to load and unload equipment safely, and then they’ll be at home.”
For technicians, there are also a few unique things that stand out. One, they will have an opportunity to work on a variety of equipment – not just automobiles. More importantly are the opportunities afforded to technicians.
“It’s not just a one and done role. They don’t necessarily have to be stuck in a certain career path. A lot of our technicians have moved from technician C to B to A to shop supervisor,” Wirtz said. “We have technicians here who have grown into managers. I don’t believe you can say that in the auto industry. If you’re a technician in the auto industry you’re working on vehicles; you’re not becoming the general manager of a dealership.”
Technicians at Herc Rentals do a lot more than turning wrenches, Nastri added. “Our technicians know how to problem solve, troubleshoot. They’re engineers,” he said. “They figure out how to get a job done.”
Early Career Opportunities
Just landing a job is often enough for recent college graduates entering the workforce, but at Herc Rentals, new and recent graduates have opportunities to advance up the ranks quickly, Wirtz explained.“Our Black and Gold Early Career Academy is a huge opportunity for them. The beauty is that when they come to Herc Rentals, they’ll be put through this very specialized program and, once they graduate the program, they’ll have 5, 6, 7 different segments they can go into.”
Most companies, Wirtz said, require two years of inside sales before new hires get out into the field. “If they’re good at their role and know what they’re doing, they can be in the field in the first year. That’s attractive to a lot of students,” Wirtz said. “They don’t want to be sitting behind a desk and stuck to a phone. They want to be out in the field, talking to clients face-to-face, getting their hands dirty.”
Another advantage is Herc Rentals has 270+ locations across North America, Wirtz added. “They’re not pigeonholed into one location. They can go to Atlanta, they can go to Dallas, they can go to Chicago, Los Angeles. That’s extremely attractive.” | <urn:uuid:b7bbd962-1520-42e3-9589-723300b9b9e9> | CC-MAIN-2022-27 | https://blog.hercrentals.com/team-herc/a-growing-company-offers-new-hires-plenty-of-runway-to-take-flight/ | 2022-06-25T14:27:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-27/segments/1656103035636.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20220625125944-20220625155944-00260.warc.gz | en | 0.9652 | 1,558 |
Procrastination can be one of the most frustrating challenges that entrepreneurs continually face. Whether it’s an incoming deadline, a personal goal, or a team that’s counting on you, it seems like there’s no match for a difficult rut of procrastination.
Effectively managing your time—and keeping a few proven procrastination-busters on hand—are often the solution you need to get back on track with your goals. Whether you’re starting your own life coaching business, building a personal website, or coming up with your own novel business idea, we’re here to help.
Keep this guide handy, and the next time you find yourself stuck on a task and unable to complete it, you can refer back to these effective methods.
Effective Time Management Techniques
Time management can often be one of the most challenging parts of starting your own business. Entrepreneurs often face a number of competing priorities, deadlines, and commitments. It’s hard to know which to prioritize and how much time to spend on any given thing.
That’s where time management techniques can come in handy. There are plenty out there, but we’ve selected three of our favorites. Try these techniques or mix and match to see what works for your INDIEpreneur schedule.
Using a Physical Planner
In this day and age, it’s easy to rely on planning software and online calendars. However, there’s a serious benefit to sitting down and keeping track of your to-do’s with pen and paper. This practice can be much more mindful than simply putting something in an online calendar and forgetting about it.
Physical planners are more than just a list of things to do. It’s a way to keep all your obligations and goals handy. The best part is that keeping a physical planner is a great way to disconnect. Rather than opening your online calendar and getting distracted by emails, you can sit down and focus entirely on your offline, low-tech schedule.
There are a myriad of paper planner options available online, and you can also make your own from scratch using a method like bullet journaling. The exact method is up to you—but the benefits of putting pen to paper are undeniable.
Use The Pomodoro Technique
The Pomodoro Technique is a creative way to keep track of your time in a way that keeps you accountable while still allowing you important break times. After all, breaks are an essential part of work—nobody is at their most productive when they’re feeling overburdened and exhausted.
The Pomodoro Technique distills your productivity time into 25-minute chunks, separated by five-minute breaks. Then, after four cycles, you can take a longer, 15 or 20-minute break. This method maximizes productivity time during your 25-minute deep-focus sprints, then refreshes you with a quick and much-needed break once you’re tapped out.
What most people don’t realize is that when you’re forcing yourself to sit in front of the computer for six hours without taking a break, you’re actually losing productivity time. Your mind wanders, you lose focus, and you don’t get into that consistent workflow we all crave. Adding in five-minute breaks is just what your mind needs to stay at peak performance, making this a highly effective time management technique.
Breaking It Down and Timing Tasks
When you’re staring down a 20-item to-do list, it’s pretty easy to feel overwhelmed. Rather than tackling a portion of your tasks, or even one of your tasks, you might dabble here and there, not finishing anything.
Instead of jumping from task to task—or even worse, stare blankly at your computer screen for several hours—get strategic with your planning. Break down each task into smaller tasks that are easily digestible. Decide ahead of time how much time you want to spend on each one, or how much you realistically think it will take.
Then, once you have a map of all your tasks and the time it’s likely to take, get started on one and see it through. Then, whether you’re using the Pomodoro method or just freestyling, give yourself a little break. Then get started on the next task.
Pro-tip: give yourself a little appetizer. Don’t start with the biggest item on your to-do list; you’ll probably feel overwhelmed. Instead, start with something you can hammer out quickly. The rush of getting it done might just give you the boost you need to move on to the next item on your list.
Effective Ways to Move Through Procrastination
Time management strategies are one thing, but procrastination can be a whole other beast. You can set up your planner, commit to using the Pomodoro Technique, and plan all your tasks and timing, and still end up sitting back scrolling through your socials.
So, what do you do when procrastination strikes? Check out these seriously effective procrastination busters that will get your head back in the game.
Focus on the WHY
There’s probably a good reason that you’re doing what you’re doing. Are you working on your passion project? Turning a fun side-hustle into your main gig? Building a business out of your hobby?
Whatever your reason, knowing your WHY is essential to getting your head back on track when you’re procrastinating. Without knowing your WHY, tasks can feel pointless. However, centering the reason that’s guiding it all is often what you need to feel that spark of motivation again.
Here are a few exercises that you can use to refocus on the WHY:
- Create a vision board with everything you hope to achieve. That might be a dream home, car, family, travel, or whatever it is that gets you up and hustling in the morning.
- Create a master plan. Setting goals and having an actionable plan are keys to success..
- Give yourself a pep talk. Sometimes you need someone to help you refocus and keep your eye on the prize. And sometimes, that someone is you. Try a mirror pep talk next time you’re feeling distracted
Name Your Fear
It’s not just a lack of focus that causes people to forget their purpose. Sometimes, there’s something else holding you back: fear. Fear can come in all shapes and sizes, and no one is immune. Entrepreneurs who are just starting out on new projects are often afraid of failure; it’s only natural.
The key is to be able to name your fear so that it doesn’t have to stand in your way. You might be procrastinating, finding little distractions, or losing hours down social media rabbit holes. And this might be because you’re worried about doing a bad job, trying and failing, or not being recognized for your work.
Once you name the fear, it becomes easier to overcome. Naming it doesn’t make it immediately go away, but it allows you to actually face it for what it is, rather than just believing you’re easily distracted. Once you’ve searched your feelings and named the fear, it’s time to do something about it:
- Journaling is always a great way to work through your thoughts and get everything down in one place.
- Mindfulness exercises can help you turn big fears into smaller challenges that you feel more motivated to overcome.
- Mastering your mindset will help you approach your work with a fresh attitude that’s geared for success
Find an Accountability Partner
It’s not easy to go it alone, even if you are an INDIEpreneur. Sometimes, all you need is a partner who can help you stay on top of your tasks and keep you in the zone. Accountability partners assist many entrepreneurs and other professionals in staying locked in and focused, even when it’s tempting to start procrastinating.
An accountability partner might be someone who you’re working with on a startup project, someone who has a parallel project who you can co-work, or even just a friend you find online that helps you stay motivated.
Some ways that you and your partner can help each other include:
- Sharing to-do lists with each other and checking in at the end of the day
- Having check-ins throughout the day to see how the other is doing
- Give each other pep talks to get through difficult hurdles
- Share different time management strategies you’ve each developed
Just knowing that there’s someone else you have to report to can sometimes be a good motivator to get everything you need done. However, it’s also important to know when to be lenient with each other. Accountability should never mean getting angry if your partner doesn’t finish something by a deadline!
How to Manage Time: Entrepreneur’s Takeaways
Time management is often one of the hardest parts of getting tasks done. Sometimes, it’s even harder than the task itself! But with a few time management strategies and techniques for overcoming procrastination, you can master your to-dos.
Here are a few tricks to remember. For time management strategies, try these out:
- Keep a physical planner instead of an online calendar.
- Try the Pomodoro Technique to stay productive and refreshed.
- Break down tasks and time them to make things manageable.
And the next time you need a procrastination buster, give these a shot:
- Focus on your WHY
- Name your fear
- Find an accountability partner

This is correct, as the names suggest the Provider will provide changes to the consumer(s). In some circumstances it is possible (although extrememly bad practice) to impersonate the provider to make a change on a consumer, but the consumer will not notify any other nodes as it that is the role of the provider.
A 'normal' LDAP system consists of a provider who feeds all data to consumers. The consumers receive changes ONLY from the provider and the provider will receive updates from your clients. There are other situations (multiple-tier systems, multiple providers, etc) that require quite a bit more knowledge to configure.
Consumers are able to refer updates to the provider using referrals. For more information search the list archives for referrals.
Consumers can also chain updates to the provider instead of returning a
referral to the client. That's probably the best thing to do since most
clients don't handle referrals securely.
And of course, in OpenLDAP 2.4 you can use multi-master and have changes
propagated all around.

At 32 weeks pregnant, your pregnancy calendar will show that you've now entered your eighth month. Not long to go now. However, both you and your baby are continuing to change and grow as you move ever nearer to your expected date of delivery. Before much longer, your baby will be in your arms and all the highs and lows of pregnancy will be in the past. But what’s happening to you and your baby this week?
At 32 weeks pregnant, you’ve now got most of your pregnancy out of the way and you’re starting the home run. It’s a good time to really start focusing on your birth plan and making sure that all your needs and wants are planned for.
It’s amazing how much can get forgotten if your labour and birth are speedy so do make sure that you’ve crossed all the T’s and dotted all the I’s. In the event that you become a bit bewildered during the birthing process, it’s good to know that someone involved in the process knows and understands exactly what you want – or not. You may well notice more twinges, aches and pains by now - if not, and you start experiencing them, it’s pretty normal.
Sometimes your baby is the cause – a sudden movement, even a small one, can result in you feeling a pinch on occasion. Some women also start suffering from constipation in the last month or two. In order to either prevent it or alleviate it, drink more water and try to consume more fibre. I know the thought of more water in itself will probably send you dashing off to the bathroom but it really does help with constipation. If you are suffering with it a bit more than you feel you can cope with, it’s something for you to discuss with your doctor or health visitor.
32 Weeks Pregnant Belly
32 Weeks Pregnant Ultrasound
You may opt for or be expected to have a 32 weeks pregnant ultrasound. If so - take advantage! Modern technology has come on in leaps and bounds and you can now have a 3d ultrasound.
This method provides far more detail and parents are amazed at the pictures. Generally, you will receive a growth and well-being ultrasound but if you can afford it and opt for the 3d, your baby will be far enough developed for you to get a really good look at him - or her!
32 Weeks Pregnant Weight Gain
Unfortunately, 32 weeks pregnant weight gain may be affecting you. You’ll feel ever more cumbersome and more and more tired over the weeks leading up to your babies’ arrival.
The same can be said for heartburn. At 32 weeks pregnant, most women will experience it to some degree – and there are many remedies available, both natural and over the counter. Check that you’re fine to use tummy settling antacids, though most will find that it’s not a problem. A good way to try and combat both constipation and heartburn in pregnancy is to eat little and often. Avoid hot, spicy foods – and hot drinks. Try not to eat too many starchy, stodgy foods.
Try and incorporate (if you haven’t already) plenty of fruit, fibre and vegetables into your diet. Eat white meat and fish rather than red meat. Drink plenty of fluids (water is the best) during your waking hours. Remain active, as much as you can without overdoing it – a gentle walk for example. Further – try to relax! It may sound silly to others but it’s perfectly natural to start feeling anxious about the impending birth.
It doesn’t matter whether it’s your first pregnancy or a subsequent one. As the saying goes ‘with your first, you don’t know enough … with your second, you know too much’!.Feeling nervous by your 32 weeks pregnant stage (if not before) is fine but it can actually unsettle you enough to aid and abet symptoms of heartburn and/or constipation.
Try and keep your mind occupied, focus on the positives, talk to those around you, share your fears or even your joys. It will all be over soon and you really will forget the aches, pains, niggling issues and the myriad of other experiences (good or bad) that go hand in hand with the pregnancy process.
32 Weeks Gestation
32 Weeks Fetal Development
At 32 weeks pregnant, your baby is now around 4 pounds or more in weight. He will be roughly 15/16 inches in length and his body will be entering the final stages of its development. His lungs are still developing but almost all his other organs are fully developed. His toe and fingernails are now present and he can open and close his eyes.
His weight will still increase between now and the end of his gestation but it will slow down. As the next few weeks pass, he will begin to move less and less, simply due to a lack of space – though he’ll still catch you off guard from time to time. You may even find that your baby ‘engages’ i.e. presents head down, with his head nestling into your pelvic region.
32 Weeks Pregnant - In General
As you’re almost at the end of your pregnancy, being 32 weeks pregnant does bring its positives. Although you’ll probably be feeling as though you’ve been pregnant ‘forever’, you really are approaching the latter stages.
Your emotions are probably up and down, and you’ll no doubt have days where you feel pretty good and days when you feel so tired you can barely raise yourself from your bed.
Be assured – it never seems so bad once you look back. Its why many of us go and do it all over again!
Sim Allen from US on June 22, 2013:
Nice to read all development of baby at 32 weeks, it would be great feeling?
Andria (author) on November 12, 2011:
Lusweety - Glad it's helped. Having been through the above 4 times myself, I reckon your best bet is not to worry too much, just book yourself in with your health professionals and see what they have to say.
I had lots of weird and wonderful feelings, glitches and doubts when I was pregnant, and it's amazing how many were similar to other women, and how many were unique to me.
I got different types of amdominal pains, none were sinister, and every time I experienced a new one, I'd half panic! I think you sound just fine but best to ask someone that can physically check you over.
Good luck with everything :)
Lusweety on November 11, 2011:
Great hub! Really useful information as a 1st timer.
I don't necessarily feel contractions, but these awful low abdominal pains that, a lot of the time, give me a hard time walking. Is this normal? Are they contractions? Im so in the dark #blushing
Andria (author) on July 20, 2011:
I'm afraid that, for the main, feeling that way can be normal. You're into the latter part of your pregnancy now and of course you'll start to feel uncomfortable.
If you're in any doubt, check with your doctor or health care provider :)
Tiff913mom on July 18, 2011:

Glad to know lungs are really all that's left to develop! I was having horrible contractions this morning that haven't really gone away yet... Anyway, I'm trying to get everything in order before the end of the week in case she does decide to come early-- perfectly healthy, Lord willing!! We all feel like she won't make it to January 29th!
Mistress Cleanse on October 11, 2010:

If at this stage you have still not purchased any baby clothes, buy them (or borrow) them asap!
I kept putting this off and was embarassed by having bought nothing for my baby when she decided to arrive early.
Fortunatly she was perfectly healthy, so this eventually became a family joke. | <urn:uuid:71613cf8-dc3e-4674-8849-a1646b420616> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://discover.hubpages.com/health/32-weeks-pregnant | 2021-12-02T18:58:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964362287.26/warc/CC-MAIN-20211202175510-20211202205510-00286.warc.gz | en | 0.965301 | 2,012 |
Immigration Documents & Tips
Immigration Documents (Passport & I-94)
Please make sure that your I-20 and passport are valid at all times. If you’re I-20 will expire and you will not be finished with your program, please come to the International advisor to request an extension of your I-20 at least one month before your I-20 expires. An expired I-20 is considered a violation of your immigration status in the U.S. If you change your major or lose your I-20, you should report that immediately to the OUHSC immigration officer.
Your passport should always be at least 6 months into the future. An expired passport is considered a violation of your legal status in the US. You may renew your passport through the consulate of your country here in the US. Consulate information may be found at http://www.embassy.org. Your admission number to the US is located on your I-94 card and should say “D/S” which means duration of status. You will turn in the I-94 card when you leave the U.S. and get a new one when you enter again. You will keep the same admission number. Keep your I-94 in a safe place with your passport. It is expensive and time consuming to replace your I-94 card in the US. Each time you apply for a new I-94 card, please bring it to the international advisor so we may make a photocopy.
Your VISA is an entrance document. If it expires, you are still in legal status as long as you are enrolled in school or on practical training. If you leave the U.S. and your VISA has expired, you must apply for a new visa before returning to the U.S. It is not possible to apply for a new student VISA inside of the U.S. We recommend that you always carry a copy of your I-20, I-94 card and passport with you at all times, even in Oklahoma City. Additionally, we recommend that you carry the original documents with you when you travel outside of Oklahoma City.
Important Immigration TIPS
When planning a trip out-of-the-country, foreign student will need to come by the Admissions and Records International Office for travel documents. We want you to have a current transcript, projected enrollment and the International Advisor will need to sign the 3rd page of your I-20 before leaving the country.
Contact your International Advisor to request permission to enroll less than full-time if there is a very good reason.
DO NOT work off-campus without proper INS permission.
Notify your International Advisor for Program Extensions prior to the program end date on your I-20.
Recommend applying for Optional Practical Training BEFORE graduation.
Report your address changes within 10 days to the International Advisor. | <urn:uuid:a0f2542d-e213-4d7e-a09c-a019404eb959> | CC-MAIN-2014-10 | http://www.ouhsc.edu/admissions/International/immigrationdocs_tips.html | 2014-03-09T06:32:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-10/segments/1393999674642/warc/CC-MAIN-20140305060754-00078-ip-10-183-142-35.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.938651 | 588 |

Separated identical twins ride an Orient Express unaware of each other: a feminist anarchist and a hedonistic courtesan, living under the powder-keg Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. Separate families adopted the impoverished orphans. At the dawn of the 20th Century the double-blind experiment hits crescendo for Dora & Lili, born the evening Edison unveiled his incandescent bulb. In 1900, technology was accelerating, could women's rights and national self-determination keep pace?

You all know Murphy’s Law. What I didn’t know, until I googled it, is that there’s a cottage industry developing corollaries to Murphy’s Law. For instance:
- If something can’t go wrong, it will.
- If a series of events can go wrong, they’ll go wrong in the worst possible order.
- After things have gone from bad to worse the cycle will repeat.
- Nothing is so bad that it can’t get worse.
- Nature always sides with the hidden flaw.
Some of you may have seen The Fly, either the original with David Hedison (1958) or the remake ofwith Jeff Goldblum (1986). A scientist develops a means of electronic transport. Two pods are linked by wires and a powerful computer. You go into one pod and come out the other. The scientist tests it successfully. He decides to try it himself, but a fly happens to have entered the pod. The computer does its work and out comes the scientist with his own and the fly’s DNA, and by the end of the movie the scientist is pretty much, well, fly.
OK, here’s the question. With Murphy’s Law and The Fly in mind, what’s going to happen if God decides to assume human nature in order to save the human race? Is that not the script for a disaster of cinematic proportions?
And from that perspective we can recognize what’s at stake in today’s Gospel. Jesus, declared Son of God at his baptism: what choices will this human being make?
Today’s readings tell two stories of temptation, and by attending to the first we can better understand the second.
In the Genesis story the first pair faces the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. God has forbidden eating its fruit; do they eat it? But it’s not just or even primarily about the fruit—it’s about God’s character. Is God to be trusted? Notice what the serpent says: “For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” God’s selfishly keeping something good from you! And if the serpent was right about that, most of us would think that Eve had a good case for eating the fruit. Is God good? Is God watching out for Eve?
(By the way, there’s a long tradition of putting the blame primarily on Eve, which works only if we ignore the text. The text doesn’t say “and she found her husband, and gave him some” but “and she also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate.” Adam’s been standing there the whole time and has contributed squat to the conversation.)
In Jesus’ temptations in the wilderness, behind the specific temptations is the issue of God’s character. Is not Jesus something of a fool to be obeying this God? At the simplest level that question is present from the beginning. The Spirit, the text tells us, led Jesus into the wilderness. So up comes the devil reciting Ps 23, and wonders aloud where the green pastures went. “Jesus, you can do so much better than this! Start by getting yourself some bread…”
Unlimited bread, spectacular miracles, a discreet acknowledgement of the gatekeeper: getting all the kingdoms of the world does not need to be difficult. Challenge the gatekeeper and you’re liable to end up on some cross. Is the God that asks this of Jesus trustworthy? Is God good? Is God watching out for Jesus?
Ethics, what we do, are grounded in what is. If God isn’t good, isn’t watching out for us, it’s every man or woman for themselves! If God is good, if God is watching out for us, then obeying God is, in principle, a no-brainer.
Here’s where we get really good at mental games. Here’s one of my favorites: yes, God is good—to most folk. But God tends to forget me at critical moments. Rational? No. But it opens the door to very familiar emotional scripts: impatience, anger, etc.—precisely when I need the energy to stay faithful to what I profess.
The link between what is and what we should do is present also in the Ten Commandments. Because the Ten Commandments start not with “You shall have no other gods before me,” but with “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have…” God has already shown Himself to be good, merciful, our liberator. That’s who the commandments are coming from. “I am the Lord”—and therefore we don’t need to kill, to steal, etc.
But back to the Gospel, what does Jesus do? Between Murphy’s Law, The Fly, and the first temptation story we’ve got plenty of reason to hold our breath.
To each of the devil’s suggestions Jesus responds with Scripture: “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God… You shall not tempt the Lord your God… You shall worship the Lord your God and him only shall you serve.” The point is not that Jesus is quoting Scripture, as though that’s how you’re supposed to argue. The point is that Jesus’ familiarity with Scripture empowers him to recognize that the devil isn’t offering anything new, isn’t offering anything that hasn’t already been tried and found wanting.
Is God good? Is God watching out for Jesus? Jesus, son of Mary, knows not only the Scripture of his people, but also the family stories, how an angel kept them safe from Herod, how an angel kept them safe from Herod’s son Archelaus. And so Jesus makes Moses’ words his own: “You shall worship the Lord your God and him only shall you serve”—and we can stop holding our breaths.
The core of the account of the temptation isn’t so much a theology of temptation or a psychology of temptation—though we can usefully explore these—but an event: a new possibility in human history. When Jesus and Murphy’s Law step into the ring, it’s Jesus who emerges. Something new is in play in our history.
Our Elder Brother, Jesus Christ, has given his testimony. If we permit it, his testimony can aid our hearts in encountering a God who merits our confidence, our obedience. May we open our hearts to receive this aid! Amen. | <urn:uuid:4ae46e41-f26a-4ed7-81fc-d8d4720bada7> | CC-MAIN-2023-14 | https://withjacobatbethel.org/2023/02/26/the-first-sunday-in-lent-a-sermon-2/ | 2023-03-30T20:48:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-14/segments/1679296949387.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20230330194843-20230330224843-00599.warc.gz | en | 0.937714 | 1,448 |
Raja Ampat has been on my list of dream dive destinations ever since I began learning about the Coral Triangle when I was in the Peace Corps in the Philippines.
So when the chance came up to join friends Jos and Lida on their boat the Seven Seas in January 2018, I cleared the schedule and booked the flights from Bali to Sorong.
Our expedition lasted for a full twelve days, traversing the most biodiverse coral reef on the planet. Our group was an inspiring group of friends, artists, activists, scientists, and ocean-lovers.
A personal highlight was seeing a pod of dolphins while diving one of Raja Ampat’s underwater sea mounts – the first time I’ve ever seen these animals underwater and in the wild. Truly a once-in-a-lifetime diving experience.
We explored environments from blue water pinnacles, to blue water mangroves, to brilliantly-colored coral reefs, to beautiful karst limestone islands with secluded beaches. You’ll find aerial photos of the islands, underwater photos of the dolpins, reefs, sharks, corals, clown fish, sea turtles, and much more.
Check out the gallery below to see my favorite photos from the trip, or see the all the photo galleries from our Raja Ampat liveaboard dive trip – from scuba diving, to aerial photos, to freediving, to the incredible wildlife and local people living in this amazing place. You can also see galleries from other Seven Seas liveaboard dive trips – my absolute favorite way to explore the awesome natural beauty and unique cultures of Indonesia.

Paul Walker's autopsy results should be released today. The Porsche that the actor was riding in was reportedly going 90 mph before the fatal crash.
- omg!1 day ago
Paul Walker was best known for his action-packed films, but many are remembering the late actor, who died on Saturday in a fiery car crash, as a big softie with a huge heart. During the holiday season several years ago, the "Fast & Furious" actor walked into Bailey Banks and Biddle Jewelers in Santa Barbara, California, and, according to sales associate Irene King, what happened next was practically out of a feel-good Hollywood movie.
King told CBS Los Angeles that an associate nudged her and said, “There’s Paul Walker.” “Oh, OK, yeah,” King replied with a smile. “I said, ‘Yeah, he’s a nice-looking man.’” Walker was browsing for bling at the same time as a soldier who had just finished his first tour of duty in Iraq, and was looking at engagement rings with his fiancée.

Thanksgiving is a time of year to reflect on what we're thankful for and give back. For Vanessa Hudgens, that includes being inspired by her longtime pal Selena Gomez to get involved with UNICEF this year.
"Selena loves working with UNICEF so much. She is just such a beautiful, stunning person on the inside with all that she does. I see how much she cares about the kids and how they've really touched her life," Hudgens revealed to omg!. "I was aware of UNICEF and their amazing deeds and I was excited to take part, as well."
The 24-year-old actress is starring in a new PSA for UNICEF's "There for the Philippines" campaign — which supports the immediate and long-term relief efforts for children and families whose lives were upended by Super Typhoon Haiyan — and has an important message this holiday season about helping others in need.

Jingle bells are certainly ringing at Camila Alves and Matthew McConaughey's household!
The 30-year-old model and I.N.C. brand ambassador dished to omg! that she absolutely adores the holidays and since marrying her "Dallas Buyers Club" sweetie in June 2012, they've melded their holiday traditions.
"It is always a joke. We have to do Thanksgiving now and we're inviting a few friends of ours and they always ask, 'Are you going to do Brazilian-style again?'" she joked during our interview at an I.N.C event. "So I said, how about this? 'We keep the meal American, but will do the dessert Brazilian.'"
That sounds like a pretty good compromise, especially with Turkey Day only one week away. But the Brazilian-born babe and her Texas-bred hubby, who are parents to Levi, 5, Vida, 3, and Livingston, 10 months, says Thanksgiving is just the start to her favorite time of year.
"I am a big holiday person," the brunette stunner shared. "I am going to dress up the house. I want the whole thing. I am big on it."

Don't bother calling Mick Jagger, grandpa!
The 70-year-old rocker's granddaughter, Assisi, 21, confirmed to Hello! magazine that she is set to give birth to her first child in 2014. According to the first-time mom, the legendary singer is thrilled about the news, so long as you don't call him grandpa.
"He said, 'Well done,'" Assisi shared in an interview with Hello!. "I imagine it's nice to be a great-granddad, although I'm not sure he likes the idea of getting old, or being called one. I call him Mick – I wouldn't start calling him grandpa."
Assisi's mother, designer Jade Jagger, 42, followed up on her daughter's interview telling The Sunday Times that the "Gimme Shelter" singer has always been a family man. | <urn:uuid:81412bed-b88d-4884-86fe-fab105eb23b1> | CC-MAIN-2013-48 | http://omg.yahoo.com/blogs/author/jenny-depper-20110822/?pt=tAD1SCT8P7/ | 2013-12-05T01:28:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-48/segments/1386163037952/warc/CC-MAIN-20131204131717-00071-ip-10-33-133-15.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.980185 | 946 |
INTRODUCTION: This devotional series is based on J.I. Packer’s classic work, Knowing God. There is no greater quest, no more important activity, nothing that should be a higher priority than getting to know God. Too many Christians know about God without making their time with him personal. These devotionals are designed to challenge you to ask questions of yourself, bring these questions before God, make you think, and transform your relationship with God. My prayer is that your study will overflow in emotion, in touching your heart, in connecting with God, and sharing your relationship with others. The book consists of 22 Chapters, thus this series last 22 days. Dig in!
Reflections on Chapter 7: God Unchanging
Ever wonder how we can know a God and understand his Word when the book we study was written so long ago about a culture so removed from ours? God’s life, character, truth, ways, and purposes never change. We can trust him and therefore know him.
1. God’s life does not change – from everlasting (Ps 93:2), immortal (1 Tim 6:16), incorruptible (Rom 1:23), the same (Ps 102:26f), the first and the last (Is 48:12). As creator, God has neither beginning nor end. He does not grow old, get stronger, wiser, weaker, or change for the better. He is already perfect and has the power of an indestructible life (Heb 7:16).
a. Your throne was established long ago; you are from all eternity. (Ps 93:2)
b. But you remain the same, and your years will never end. (Ps 102:27)
c. Listen to me, Jacob, Israel, whom I have called: I am he; I am the first and I am the last. (Is 48:12)
2. God’s character does not change – I am who I am (Ex 3:14), God declares his self-existence, eternal changelessness, reminding us that he has life in himself more than just a name. Exodus 34 proclaims his name through his character: “The LORD (YHWH), merciful, gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love, keeping his love to a thousand generations, forgiving sin…”
3. God’s truth does not change
a. The word of the Lord stands forever”(Is 40:6)
b. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away (Mt 24:35)
c. Scripture cannot be broken (John 10:35)
4. God’s ways do not change
a. He continues today to act toward sinful man the way he did in the Bible
b. He seeks fellowship from us, hates our sins and loves us
c. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. (Is 55:8-9)
5. God’s purposes do not change
a. God doesn’t change his mind
- He who is the Glory of Israel does not lie or change his mind; for he is not a human being, that he should change his mind. (1 Sam 15:29)
- God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill? (Num 23:19)
b. What he does in time, he planned for eternity and all he planned in eternity he does in time.
c. The times where he apparently changed his mind (Gen 6:6, 1 Sam 15:11, 2 Sam 24:16, Jon 3:10, Joel 2:13) suggest more about the fact that he changed how he treated man in that situation than that his purposes changed (see page 72)
When things in this world seems so uncertain,
When there is nothing you can depend on,
When all that seemed solid crumbles to the ground,
God is My Rock, My Fortress and My Deliverer… My Stronghold

Some of Henry & Elizabeth (Armitage) Meinzen's Descendants
A week or so ago I wrote about how Henry Meinzen's surname died when his sons had no living sons. Even though he had no one to carry on his name, he and his wife Elizabeth (Armitage) have lots and lots of descendants. I don't know who all of them are because the families have grown apart, but I know my grandfather's living siblings and some of those who have come through my grandfather's line.
I decided to post photographs of the descendants I know. I was going to post the photos individually but decided that 50+ photos would cause the page to load ever so slowly (if at all). Instead, I asked Picasa to make a collage. And so here it is. The clarity of the images is not as good as if I'd posted the images individually, but those who have been to this blog before will have seen many of these photos already. I thought it was fun to put them all together in one place. I hope you enjoy looking. (You can make the collage larger by clicking on it.) | <urn:uuid:03a65881-388d-438a-ac95-7d91b1bce8f6> | CC-MAIN-2014-49 | http://nancysfamilyhistoryblog.blogspot.com/2010/08/some-of-henry-elizabeth-armitage.html | 2014-11-28T00:13:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-49/segments/1416931009295.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20141125155649-00156-ip-10-235-23-156.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.989991 | 242 |
Eight steps and you get an idea of basics accounting from accounting cycle. Due to using computerized techniques, further time-saving activities include regular payout and collection activities whereby programs have the wherewithal to make automated changes at the finish of every interval; progressive preparation and production of economic statements instantly following the verification of account balances; and the era of a closing process on the tail end of the each period.
While you consider an accountant, whom do you image? Most people would envision a frazzled business skilled tirelessly working to file their clients’ tax claims. Accountants and taxes usually go hand-in-hand. Adjusting entries be certain that the income recognition and matching rules are adopted. To search out the revenues and bills of an accounting period adjustments are required.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics projected that employment of accountants and auditors will grow about 16 p.c from 2010 to 2020, about as quick as the typical profession area. Nevertheless, within the wake of numerous corporate scandals and the recent financial crisis, there has been an increased give attention to accounting that responds to those sorts of issues. Whereas these areas have a limited variety of employment openings, there still may be extra opportunities soon.
Since, the return on asset of the A for the 12 months 2013 accounts for accounts for 19.3% which is less than the return on belongings ascertained within the year 2012 which accounts for 28.fifty four%, subsequently, it is ascertained that the corporate shouldn’t be earning sufficient return on the property employed within the enterprise.
Accountants and CPAs are likely to excel at math. In addition they have glorious analytical abilities and, as a result of they have to communicate with others, typically have good interpersonal abilities. Though many of these people are already good with their finances prior to working as an accountant or CPA, a perk of the job is gaining much more monetary knowledge, which may also help accountants and CPAs with personal monetary matters.
Transactions contain buying or selling something and could be outlined as ‘the act of conducting business.’ This might involve the change or switch of products, providers, or funds. When a transaction happens, it is recorded in the company’s accounting system, in the type of a journal entry. Nevertheless, the transaction should first be recognized; for example, if a company purchases machinery, they have to add a new asset to the accounting equation. | <urn:uuid:1e8df36a-387c-4a84-aef9-dfa9d583050f> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://lanationdz.com/completing-the-accounting-cycle-free-online-course.html | 2020-07-14T10:48:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657149819.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20200714083206-20200714113206-00351.warc.gz | en | 0.950847 | 493 |
How intriguing it is to have a taxi at your beck and call, or just at the tap of a button? Well, apps like Uber, Ola, and Lyft, have all made life simpler for people who believe in taking a personal cab or a private vehicle instead of haggling their way into public transportation. Pick out the cab type you want, select the pickup and drop-off location, choose if you want to pay the price reflected in the application and zoom your way out of the door. It is that simple! Or is it?
Nonetheless, one should be aware that building apps on any operating system is equally difficult and challenging on different platforms, as it requires you to integrate multiple features and functionalities. It is highly likely that several taxi apps might be offering those services and facilities already, and therefore you are no different.
The question at the end of the day is if the customer would pick you over the others who have already established themselves as market leaders. They have a sustainable customer base, they have good service, they have an established pool of drivers and they have more availability. If you are not able to match up to it from the get-go, it is possible that your model is not sustainable.
What Does an On-Demand Solution Consists of?
How much does it take to build an app like Uber or any taxi provider app for a matter of fact?
For every business that is focused on developing a taxi-based application, the first thing that crosses their minds is the cost factor for obvious reasons. You will need to make an investment into the app. It makes sense to factor it in before you start off with the project. Pricing is an undeniable aspect of business and cannot be ignored. However, do all applications that offer taxi services, cost the same? If you answered yes to that, think again!
The pricing depends completely on the kind of application you are developing. When it is an on-demand taxi app, the overall fixed cost varies across developing agencies. There are several factors which dominate the pricing variance, and as an owner or senior manager, you will need to make a final call on how it should be treated or developed. Even if it is a UK iPhone app development company or any e-wallet mobile app development company in the UK, they will recommend that you have a plan in mind. But what are the major factors which dominate the variance in price?
As mentioned, it is a lot of different factors. The factors are mainly the following:
1. The target platform where you intend to build the business.
2. The people involved in the process. You could pick out freelancers or experienced developers who have been seasoned players when it comes to creating great applications.
3. The design and the UI/UX of the application that you desire.
4. The features that are actually required against the ones you want.
Depending on whom you are hiring to develop the application for you, the overheads do change drastically. How many people are working on the project, how long is the project expected to last and what modules are integral to the development of the application. If you have 20 people working on the GPS integration, and another 50 on the user interface portal, it makes no sense. It adds to your expenses and increases the cost unnecessarily. Choose an application development company or even freelancers, who can give you a better result in a stipulated time. It does come with some risk as the rush could potentially reduce quality, but if you are working on a shoestring budget, it is always recommended that you do it anyway.
The same goes for picking out platforms too. Does it have to be Android? Does it have to be iOS?This is often a question from application developers. Depending on your revenue model and your target customers, you can pick out either. If reaching out to customers is your primary goal, pick out Android because it has a larger user base. If raking in big moolah is the target, iOS is a great platform to start off with.

Advanced Taxi App Features to Keep You Ahead of Competition
As technology is emerging day by day, competition amongst the taxi app is also increasing. Every day, new updates are enrolled which increases the flexibility & usability of the app.
Nowadays, anybody can create a taxi application. But it is not easy to stay ahead of the competitors present in the market. Flexibility, easily understandable, user-friendly are some basic features that we must keep in mind while developing an app.
But if want your taxi app to be at the top, there are some features that you must keep in mind if you want to be one step ahead always.
These features will help your application to rank high among all other applications.
Social Login & Sign-Up
Since the world has become fond of social media, approximately 70% of people are active on social media. So providing the feature of social media login is the best way to keep your app flexible for its users.
Opening the app again & again to know the status of your cab is not a good idea. Push notification is the best feature to avoid this situation. This feature helps the users to know the status of their cab without opening the app. ETA is updated to users continuously through a push notification.
No one wants to share their personal number with an unknown, especially girls. Number masking helps the user as well as the driver to hide their contact number. The call is not made directly, instead connected through the company as intermediate, hiding the number of the driver as well as the rider.
Easy Payment System
Payment by cash should not be the only method, there should be other methods available also. Nowadays people usually rely on online payment. There must be options for online payments, like PayTM, Google Pay, etc. So the rider can pay the exact fare to the driver.
The concept of split-screen in smartphones allows the users to access two apps a single time. Since the area to use apps in split-screen is fixed, it sometimes creates problems for users. The feature of the floating window helps the user to access the apps in a small floating window which the user can move anywhere on the screen according to their needs.

Doug and Patti were married August 18, 1973 and moved to the Raytown area, where they were blessed with three children – Kevin, Sara and Matthew. Doug remained happily married to Patti until her death in 2013. Doug began working at Frito-Lay in 1975 and worked there until his retirement in 2014. Doug met his second wife, Linda, through church, and they were married on September 24, 2016. Doug and Linda spent their retirement together traveling and spending time with family and grandchildren, which is what they enjoyed most.

Zhou’s lawyers argued that when they entered his home without evidence, the police violated Zhou’s Fourth Amendment’s protection against unreasonable searches and seizures. They also argued that allowing the use of illegally obtained evidence in court would violate the purpose of the Fourth Amendment. Lawyers on behalf of the government argued that arrests were based on a full-featured reason. The evidence found in the search confirmed what the police suspected: Zhou was guilty and the evidence proved this. Therefore, the lawyer concluded that it should be eligible for use in court. In a decision made by the court, William Day, on February 24, 1914, the court ruled that the search and confiscation of evidence at the home of the week violated his Fourth Amendment rights. The court stated that the protection of the Fourth Amendment applies to those who are “accused of crimes”. Officials need an arrest warrant or consent to search the home of the week. When the court refused to return the evidence of the detention, the federal government also violated the Fourth Amendment protection measures of the week. In an unreasonable search, the court rejected a major argument of the government. The government’s lawyers tried to prove the similarities between Adams v. The New York case and the weekly case. In the case of Adams v. New York, the court ruled that the evidence seized by chance during a legal, guaranteed search could be used in court. The court refused to apply the ruling reached in Adams v. New York because the officer did not use the warrant to search the home of the week. The judge ruled that the evidence seized illegally was “from the fruit of the poisonous tree.” It cannot be used in federal courts. Allowing local prosecutors to use these evidences to convict the week violates the intent of the Fourth Amendment. | <urn:uuid:a81394b2-cab4-4f2f-99ba-8dcc333738c8> | CC-MAIN-2019-09 | https://sg.assignmentgood.com/ying-guo-xie-fei-er-de-da-xue-lun-wen-dai-xie-ya-dang-si-su-niu-yue-an/ | 2019-02-16T19:34:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-09/segments/1550247481111.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20190216190407-20190216212407-00305.warc.gz | en | 0.801769 | 367 |
The poems themselves are light hearted and fun to read, I can easily picture the children I’ve babysat in the past enjoying these verses. The topics that LaMar writes about are vast and while many are silly and entertaining some teach moral values in a subtle and enjoyable way. I believe this is an important quality for any piece of literature directed towards children. I am not sure of the age range I would put on this book, while the rhythm would be enjoyable to younger children occasionally the word choice seems odd for a children’s book. As you don’t mind explaining what phrases or words mean it would be a valuable educational moment to have between parent and child and would certainly benefit both parties.
I really enjoyed reading this short story, it was interesting to look at a planet and its history through another race’s eyes. I think this book is an excellent social commentary. The Cleansing is worth a read as it celebrates history and stories while presenting a warning about self-destructive nature. It was easy to read, despite the lack of dialogue tags and I appreciate the experimentation with this style of writing. While I cannot imagine a story in this style working for a full novel, it was perfect for this delightful piece of literature. It provides an enjoyable reading experience and a valuable lesson to writers that sometimes the rules of writing need to be bent. The storytelling was strong and, and I found myself wishing it was a little longer, I would’ve enjoyed learning more about the alien race and why they were on a mission to cleanse other planets. This information, however, would’ve bogged down the book with too many details making it more difficult to read. A collection of short stories following these characters would be interesting!
The way this author writes about family dynamics and relationships is superb, the focus on the family and the everyday chaos within Jesse’s world is perfectly described and helps to shape our character further. Jesse’s way of life and thought processes are interesting and delightful! Everything about this book enchanted me. For the sake of honestly I do have to say that I watched the movie first and was spoiled for the book because of this but it didn’t detract anything from the story in my opinion. I perhaps didn’t get attached to certain characters as much because of this, but it is safe to say that both the movie and the book made me sob! That’s just the kind of person that I am though, even Disney Shorts make me cry.
Atwood writes very well, and I think The Handmaid’s Tale is worth a read for anyone that is interested in reading one of the darker pieces of classic literature. It is excellent in regards to the style in which it divulges information. It is a unique and interesting way of telling a story in that it flickers between past and present. This woman is a genius when it comes to word association games, I really enjoyed the way she explores the language of a woman with too much time on her hands. I will continue to explore the works of Atwood, as this is my first experiences with one of her books. I’m excited to see what themes her other works explore.
This incredible adventure demands to be read. I loved this book so much that I struggled to take notes; I just wanted to read and to enjoy it. I found myself immersed in the cold wasteland, sitting by the fire watching Buck as he adapted to every new curveball thrown his way. I cannot recommend this book more; it was such a complicated little book. London has a way of tugging your emotions and throwing you off balance, only to catch you and ease you back into the story. This book is violent and introduces themes of death for both humans and dogs, and at times it is truly heart-breaking. This is the book to read when you want to cry, but also the book to read when you want to conquer. There is such strength at the core of this book; you come away from it understanding that in the greater scheme of things you are going to be stronger than you first were.
I cannot say I recommend reading this book; I found it very difficult to finish as the plot did not live up to the first few chapters of writing. I can recommend up to chapter seventeen, after that I began to rapidly lose interest. There are of course chapters here and there that contained more action and less science and those I appreciated greatly. The ending for me left me with a lot of questions, it almost felt like there should’ve been a part three. However, the writing at the end was very good and I enjoyed reading those last few chapters also. I have you all to thank for getting me to the end of the book otherwise I would not have written a review this week. But it’s worth noting that I normally devour books in a few days and this one took me a month to read. Maybe Verne’s writing style just isn’t for me, but I had to leave an honest review, even if it is an unpopular opinion. Feel free to disagree with me in the comments or share your frustrations. | <urn:uuid:d2f521d4-4139-4e91-acfb-46989a96e6e9> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://redrabble.com/bookreviews/page/2/ | 2020-07-03T09:46:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655881984.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20200703091148-20200703121148-00173.warc.gz | en | 0.980206 | 1,060 |
Terri's Brother Fights For Sister's Life | Margaret
Terri's Brother Fights For Sister's Life
by Margaret Zagroba | Vice President, Princeton Pro-Life
PRINCETON, New Jersey | Bobby Schindler loves his sister Terri Schiavo and
has been fighting for her life for many years. But what was equally striking
about his recent talk on March 2nd here at Princeton University
is how much he cares about the future of mankind.
Both Mr. Schindler and Professor Chris Tollefson, a visiting fellow with
the James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions at Princeton,
emphasized that what is at stake in Terri's case is not only her life, but
the way American law defines a human person.
Terri Schindler Schiavo is at the center of controversy in Florida as her
family fights to prevent her husband from starving her to death. A
Florida judge has ruled that Terri Schiavo's husband, Michael Schiavo (who
lives with, and has had two children with another woman), is her sole guardian,
and has the legal authority to remove hydration and nutrition from Terri.
The court has ordered that Terri is no longer to be given food or water
starting at 1:00 p.m. on March 18th.
Mr. Schindler spoke at the invitation of Princeton Pro-Life and the Office
of the Dean of Undergraduate Students and shared the podium with Prof. Tollefson,
who teaches at the University of South Carolina. The talk was titled "Euthanasia,
Judicial Homicide, and Terri Schiavo."
I was deeply moved by the event. As a Roman Catholic, I was very disturbed
to hear of the apparent indifference of Mr. Schindler's local diocese, whose
has not spoken out strongly for Terri, her parents, and her brother, all of them Catholic.
I also realized the extent to which mainstream media has distorted the issue.
I had previously been under the impression that Terri was in a coma with
no hope of coming out, when in fact she shows great potential for possible
recovery if given the proper care.
As I listened, I thought of my own grandfather, who is suffering from advanced
Alzheimer's disease, and wonder if some day others will be able to decide
if people like him don't have lives that are worth living. Though
Princeton Pro-Life has typically focused on abortion, Mr. Schindler's talk
made me realize that we also need to make the campus aware of the issue
About two hundred students, faculty and visitors heard Mr. Schindler deliver
a piercing indictment of his sisters treatment at the hands of her
husband and guardian and the legal system in Florida.
"What we are witnessing is a judicial homicide, an execution at the hands
of the state," Mr. Schindler told the audience. "If Terri had committed
a capital crime, she would have more rights than she does under our current
Professor Tollefsen explained how the philosophical arguments for euthanasia
are wrong, linking support of euthanasia with a faulty understanding of
the human person.
Tollefsen, an associate professor moral philosophy at the University of
South Carolina, identified three grounds used by proponents to justify euthanasia.
First, there is the emotional appeal of seeing a person in great pain, and
the consequent desire to want to relieve their suffering. Second, there
is the fact that, unlike abortion, euthanasia is typically (though not always)
done with the patients consent. Third, people who practice euthanasia
take advantage of a faulty distinction between actively killing someone
and merely "letting them die."
Underlying all these arguments, however, is the implicit assumption that
human life is not intrinsically valuable, but is only worthy insofar as
it helps one achieve some other goal, such as happiness. This is dualistic:
it thinks of the person as wholly abstracted from the body
that he inhabits. If this dualism is true, it means the immaterial person
can do anything he wants with his body, including destroy it through euthanasia.
If, however, the person is a psychosomatic unity, then human life is an
intrinsic good, and it is always morally wrong to end an innocent human
life, even if the life is ones own.
Schindler began his presentation with a moving video chronicling Terris
life and the legal battles he and his family have faced since Terris
collapse in 1990. He related how Terris husband Michael Schiavo has
systematically neglected his wife, and refused to give her the proper medical
care she needs.
Her family must get permission from the local police before they can even
visit her. They are not permitted to bring flowers into her room, or play
her favorite music. When a priest tried to administer Holy Communion to
Terri, Mr. Schiavo reprimanded him and threatened him with arrest. Terris
family wants nothing more that to take Terri home and care for her, but
since her husband has full custody, they are powerless.
Mr. Schiavos case is based on the flimsiest of evidence. He claims
that Terri once related verbally to him that she would not want to live
if she was incapacitated and put on a feeding tube. Despite the fact that
this is hearsay, and that Terri never expressed such a wish to any of her
own family, a Florida determined that Mr. Schiavos testimony alone
was enough to send Terri to her death through the removal of her feeding
Even though Terris story is deeply powerful, Mr. Schindler did not
just dwell on his personal story, but explored the implications for society
at large. He said, "Our society has moved from a culture that values
sanctity of life to one that values quality of life."
Slowly and insidiously, the idea has crept into the American mindset that
the value of some peoples lives dont outweigh the costs, and
that these lives can be terminated at the will of another.
Mr. Schindlers story brought home the point that this case is about
far more than his sisters life, as important as her life is. Her murder
would set both a legal and a cultural precedent that human life is to be
valued for its utility rather than its intrinsic worth, and would further
establish what John Paul II has often called a "Culture of Death."
Almost everyone has a friend or relative who is either disabled, or suffering
from disorders like Alzheimers disease. Will a court be able one day
in the near future to decide whether our loved ones can live or diedespite
our beliefs and wishes?
The audience was clearly deeply moved by Mr. Schindlers story, and
one of the first questions asked after the talk was, "How can we help
Terris cause?" Mr. Schindler encouraged us to contact our congressional
representatives and lawmakers, and expressed gratitude for the recent outpouring
of support for his cause, coming recently from even the Vatican itself.
Currently the date set for removal of Terris feeding tube is March
18, and the Schindler family has six legal appeals pending in a final attempt
to save her. There is legislation pending in both Congress and the Florida
State legislature that would be able to save Terri, if they are passed in
The entire evening was a compelling witness for the pro-life cause. Mr.
Schindler presented a powerful emotional appeal. Mr. Tollefsen reminded
the audience, however, that the emotional objections to euthanasia are insufficient,
but that euthanasia must and can be shown to be wrong on a completely rational
and rigorous philosophical level. He also noted that many pro-lifers are
far more passionate about ending abortion than euthanasia, but that it is
essential for our cause to defend human life at all stages, including at
the end of life.
Audience members left with a clearer understanding of the moral objections
to euthanasia, a better knowledge of the Schiavo case, which has often been
distorted by a biased media, and renewed awareness of the importance of
defending human life, especially of the most innocent and defenseless.

We say farewell to ‘Glee’
Published On March 23, 2015 | Uncategorized
“Glee” ended its six-season run on Friday, by flashing forward to reveal the future lives of its major players. The gist, fittingly, is that everyone’s dreams come true!
A website Vulture.com put together a list of the show’s “50 Best Performances: The top 2:
1. Bob Dylan’s “Make You Feel My Love”, Rachel Berry, Season 5. This was Lea Michele’s super-emotional farewell to her boyfriend Cory Monteith and his character Finn.
2. Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin'”, the New Directions, Season 1.
This is the one that put “Glee” on the map right from the get-go.
In its six seasons, “Glee” ran through more than 700 songs . . . sold over 11 MILLION albums worldwide . . . and, at the peak of its popularity, was smashing records held by The Beatles and Elvis Presley on the Billboard charts.
It also won four Emmys, four Golden Globes, and was nominated for three Grammys, although it didn’t win any of those . . . thankfully.

Unique and groundbreaking, Heart To Heart With Horses is an insightful guide to unlocking the healing power of the heart. Real-life stories, inspiring case studies and simple Reiki meditative exercises show how easy it is to share the gift of true healing with the horses you love. Including a foreword by a world-renowned holistic veterinarian and written from Kathleen’s heart to yours, this book illuminates powerful ways that compassionate presence can heal.
Click here to read an excerpt of the book
“Horses are magnificent intelligent, sentient, wise, and intuitive beings. Noted Reiki practitioner Kathleen Prasad shows how Reiki is a perfect way to connect peacefully with horses in a heart-to-heart way using ‘compassion through mindfulness’ and focusing on ‘being, not doing.’ Using case studies, Ms. Prasad shows how the five Reiki precepts — leaving anger and worry aside and being humble, honest, and compassionate — can heal both human and horse in deeply reciprocal ways. By dissolving boundaries of separateness it is simply amazing what can be accomplished as we rewild and reconnect with other animals. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn how to connect with horses and all other animals. Reiki can be that expansive and deep.”
–Marc Bekoff, Ph.D., author ofThe Emotional Lives of Animal and Rewilding our Hearts: Building Pathways of Compassion and Coexistence.
“From the moment I held Kathleen’s manuscript in my hand, I felt the love, passion and power pour from the pages. Few animals have worked themselves as deeply into our culture and psyche as the horse. Offering Reiki is an amazing way not only to help heal, connect and develop a deeper connection with horses, but your own heart and soul as well. Thank you, Kathleen, for offering yet another amazing book! This book belongs in every horse lover’s library, but is best kept within close reach, as it is a book to be referred back to often.”

“I am honored to write an endorsement for a book on the concept of Reiki for horses. I started the Remus Memorial Horse Sanctuary over 30 years ago and am extremely proud of the work that we do including work with elderly horses, including Shane the oldest horse in the world who died at 52, and our work with blind horses. We embrace holistic therapies in our work with these animals. Reiki is used as part of our synergistic approach to helping these horses who have come from awful backgrounds where they have suffered the most appalling emotional and physical cruelty and torment. As a calm hands-off experience for the animals, Reiki totally compliments our philosophy of respect and compassion towards these wonderful, elegant creatures. Our history was borne on their backs, and it is pleasing when they have reached their twilight years that we are able to give them something back to help them including a home of safety, respect and Reiki.
I have seen Kathleen work at our Sanctuary and with our animals and I wholeheartedly support her work and her philosophy and therefore totally endorse this book. I know the seventy plus horses at Remus and the other animals would totally agree with me!”
–Sue Burton, founder of Remus Memorial Horse Sanctuary
“This novel book dedicated to spiritual healing of horses through the meditation and touch of Reiki is remarkable. For many of us, we are familiar with Reiki practitioners that use actual touch to heal (hands-on healing). In her book, Kathleen explains that Reiki involves two modalities for healing, namely, meditation to establish the heart-to- heart connection of spiritual energy, and light touch to convey compassion and care in nurturing the heart-to- heart connection. For horses in particular, meditation alone can provide healing, but for many, it is the touch that enables the very strong connection to healing. Reiki is also a means to convey compassion through mindfulness. In this form of practice, Reiki becomes spiritual healing rather than the more surface aspects of touch. Through meditation, it produces a state of inner peace and self-healing. Further, through healing horses, they in turn heal us by sharing unconditional acceptance. Finally, Reiki is a state of being rather than doing. With many case examples that follow the precepts of: Do not anger or worry, and be humble, honest and compassionate, this book is a MUST-READ for all of us involved in animal healing.”
–W. Jean Dodds, D.V.M., founder of Hemopet
This moving and insightful book is a powerful reminder of the profound transformation that occurs in our relationships with others when we cultivate a more mindful presence with them. The special place that horses have in our affections – and culture – are invoked in this beautiful book which radiates with Kathleen’s love for all sentient beings.

The 4th of July 2019 is recently behind us, with both pomp & circumstance and heated political debates from sea to shining sea. Have you considered your definition of “freedom” lately? In the United States, we tout the holiday as our Independence Day. These are the two words for your consideration in this edition. (Brief U.S. history lesson included free of charge. You’re welcome.)
Many different populations, cultures, and religions have fought for their freedom and independence throughout our country’s history. How is it in the year 2019 in the USA that some are not given the “inalienable right” to be treated equally? July 4, 1776 was the signing of the Declaration of Independence, which included the words “Where all men are created equal.” Are we all men? Are we all created equally? NOPE!
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. (Link to the actual Declaration of Independence — cool, huh?)
There are some really basic tenets of freedom that most people take for granted. For example, I’m seriously afraid for those LGBT+ friends who can be fired from a job because of who they love or how they identify…yep, that can still happen in 26 of our 50 states. (For my Sconie friends, here’s Wisconsin’s Equality Profile.) This might change in October, especially for Americans who identify as transgender, if the US Supreme Court sways to the conservative side of the aisle. (Yikes)
My wife, Angela, and I wanted to wait to get married until it was legal in all 50 states. So, on January 11, 2017, we did get married. (Yay us! Hope we didn’t cause a ripple in the marriages of all of the straight people!) Yet we still worry about our freedoms and our independence according to the law.
For example, can I make medical decisions for her in the hospital without a physical copy of our marriage certificate? We’ve been told it would be best to have a copy on file at the hospital. Or at least with our lawyer since Angela travels so much for work and she could be anywhere in the country and in need of proof of marriage. Which of course means we both a) have to have a lawyer; and b) Have to have that number programmed as a priority in our phones should the unthinkable happen. Evidently the rings on our fingers don’t mean the same as they do for a straight couple.
I recently tried to make her an appointment with our doctor. I was asked for her birth date and had to wait for the clearance to be able to speak on her behalf. I get HIPPA laws, yet I still wondered how long I would have waited if I was part of a “traditional” married couple? The first amendment allows me the freedom of speech, but is my speech equal to that of the haters? The term wife means something different if we are of the same sex.
Next week we will delve into the LGBTQIA resources A-Z that are most frequently asked. Thanks for reading this and for being an ally. #SpreadPrideSaveLives. Please pay attention to the freedoms you currently have. If you see an injustice in the workplace or in your community, please say something. Your voice will help those with no voice. Please feel free to add a comment on how you are changing your corner of the world!

Greens give Obama wilting enthusiasm
“To be honest, I never thought President Obama was an environmentalist,” said Phil Radford, executive director of Greenpeace USA. As is the case for a range of other issues that motivate parts of the base, Radford said Obama’s “problem is just the excitement gap” among those who care about green issues.
Obama’s rhetoric on climate change has also been confusing.Continue Reading
During his presidency’s first Oval Office address amid the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, Obama mentioned the word “climate” only once and all but abandoned Senate Democrats who were trying to use the environmental disaster as a springboard to pass a comprehensive cap-and-trade bill.
The words “climate change” and “global warming” also didn’t get a mention during Obama’s energy-themed stop in May in Newton, Iowa, and there’s only one mention of “climate change” on his campaign website, tacked to the end of a section describing the benefits of new fuel economy standards.
Clinton-era Energy Department official Joe Romm, a blogger for the liberal Center for American Progress, contrasted the president’s Iowa speech with major companies like Starbucks that are advocating action on climate change.
“How lame is it that a high-end coffeehouse chain is more comfortable talking about the gravest threat to the nation’s health and well-being than the President of the United States?” Romm wrote.
“It creates the impression that this isn’t an important issue,” Romm said later in an interview.
Erich Pica, president of Friends of the Earth Action, said his group is currently withholding an Obama endorsement because the president’s adopted energy message caters to industry demands on Alaskan oil drilling and “clean coal” technologies “without having a strong global warming message on top.”
That’s a message shared by former Vice President Al Gore, who put in writing one of Obama’s sharpest rebukes from the environmental movement in a June 2011 Rolling Stone essay that declared “President Obama has never presented to the American people the magnitude of the climate crisis.”
In his own interview with Rolling Stone in April, Obama bemoaned the tough economy and high gas prices, which he said have allowed climate skeptics to get a stronger foothold in the debate. He also raised environmentalists’ expectations when he promised during the election to be “very clear in voicing my belief that we’re going to have to take further steps to deal with climate change in a serious way.” | <urn:uuid:f2a2f824-4490-4f94-9bcb-e2a22ba79121> | CC-MAIN-2016-26 | http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0612/77551_Page2.html | 2016-07-01T07:17:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-26/segments/1466783400572.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20160624155000-00145-ip-10-164-35-72.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.951394 | 562 |
Had a brief chat with a lawyer the other day regarding an exact match domain. Thought I’d share some insights here.
First, if you have no idea what an exact match domain is or why it’s even relevant, click the link above to Todd Malicoat’s post at Moz (read the comments too).
Second, if you’re in the process of choosing a domain, be sure to watch what Google’s Matt Cutts had to say on the subject a few years ago:
If you don’t have the patience to sit through the three minute video here is my takeaway:
Keywords in a domain matter for search, but probably aren’t as important as choosing a domain that has meaning to people.
In other words, don’t make keywords your primary focus in choosing a domain. Instead, put your audience first. If you can eloquently balance choosing a domain that will resonate with your target audience and include relevant keywords, great. But don’t sacrifice your audience so that you can rank for a handful of keywords.
It’s also worth noting that Google has been continuously adjusting the weight of keyword domain ranking signals:
New exact-match domain (EMD) algo affects 0.6% of English-US queries to a noticeable degree. Unrelated to Panda/Penguin.
— Matt Cutts (@mattcutts) September 28, 2012
If you take Google at face value, it makes sense that they would dial back the power of exact match domains. Registering keyword-rich domains is fairly easy to do (with enough budget). So, giving a lot of weight to this factor makes manipulating search results easier.
On the other hand, it’s unlikely that Google will ever completely dismiss keywords in domains. After all, they can communicate what a site is about. And let’s face it, for less competitive keywords, they can perform pretty well in search.
However, if you rely on keyword-rich domains to drive business at your firm, you’re likely to be greatly disappointed.
You see, even if your exact match domain ranks for the target phrase, do you really think that one search query is going to support your practice. Further, do you really want to be that vulnerable to adjustments search engines make in the weight of the keywords-in-domains signals? That’s unwise.
Choose a domain that will both resonate and be easy for your target audience to remember and link to. Don’t choose your domain for robots: | <urn:uuid:8a46f8e6-86c2-4a8c-8436-b023bb2234bc> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.attorneysync.com/blog/exact-match-law-firm-domains/ | 2020-09-24T23:17:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400221382.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924230319-20200925020319-00701.warc.gz | en | 0.917028 | 535 |

Cold sintering is the ability to densify ceramics and ceramic composites through the use of a transient liquid phase at intermediate temperatures and pressures. Since the early reports of the ability to synthesize many materials with this process, we have gained new insights into the mechanisms that underpin or limit the densification process. In this presentation, we will review both our own work, as well as the work of others that is emerging over the last two to three years. We will critically review areas of agreement, as well as many of the unknowns and challenges that still need to be resolved.We will also highlight a number of the application areas that seem most appropriate for cold sintering. In particular, we have been developing methods to redesign grain boundaries in ceramics with secondary phases. These include thin polymer interfaces, as well as nanomaterials, such as 2-D materials, that could all be included to create new microstructures and very unusual composite properties. We will highlight characteristics ranging from electrochemistry, dielectric and semiconducting properties, mechanical properties, and thermal properties. The ability to make composites with high volume fractions of ceramic, but also nanometer scale polymer and 2-D materials in grain boundaries, is a unique advantage of cold sintering. | <urn:uuid:b38a5ed4-3fa6-4d19-961f-1dce70a5f6f6> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://icc7.com.br/program-info.php?cod=8989 | 2019-07-18T21:18:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525829.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20190718211312-20190718233312-00450.warc.gz | en | 0.947772 | 282 |
Last year, I was in a book club during a weekly read period at my school (We read The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie, and The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern, in case you're interested). I sat with one of my good friends, and when we had some time to read during the club, she was shocked at how fast I was reading. "She's read thirty pages in the same time it took me to read ten!" Or something of that sort. In a forty-five minute read period, I usually read about seventy pages. That's about 1.5 pages a minute (if I'm doing the math right!).
I don't know that this classifies me as a speed reader exactly, but I do know that I tend to read more quickly than some people I know. Here's the secret: I do read very fast, but I also tend to skim passages. Not a lot, and not enough that I miss essential details, but sometimes I have to go back to remember a character's name--"Okay, who's talking now?" Maybe when things go so fast, it's easier for things to slip through my grasp.
My question is, does this count? If I skim, did I read it? I think I get the main ideas, and I certainly enjoy the books. However, I have been noticing lately that as I rate a book on Goodreads, I'll mark it, then look at some of the reviews, and take away one of the stars I gave it. It seems skimming makes it easier for me to overlook flaws in the narrative or characterization. Or maybe that's the speed (or at least quick) reading--If you go really fast, you don't have to dwell on mistakes, do you?
(Note: That last sentence really only works in the context of reading. Don't try that while driving.)
I like to read fast, because I get to read more. I think it does count as reading, since I've found some of my favorite books this way. And maybe if I overlook some problems, that's a good thing. It gives things a kind of rosy glow. While I try to avoid this, it sure does make things look nice.

This summer (which, sadly, comes to an end on Tuesday) I went to the beach on vacation, and can you guess what I'm most proud of? Not my nonexistent tan--although I was a lovely shade of crimson for a few days. The pile of books I was able to read. I read twelve books in ten days, and they were--for the most part--wonderful. Here's a quick overview.
The Princess Bride by William Goldman--This is my sister's favorite book. She's been telling me to read it for years, and I've been wanting to read it for years. However, I was always intimidated by the triple threat of small-type-small-pages-thick-spine. I thought it would take me forever to get through it. Instead, I flew through it, loving every word.
Beauty Queens by Libba Bray--I read this every year at the beach. It's about beauty pageant contestants who get stranded on a desert island, but really it's about feminism (the way it should be: meaning that everyone gets equal respect) and the fact that you don't have to reject femininity to be a strong woman. Plus, it's got pirates, a secret government operation, and commercial breaks. What could be better? | <urn:uuid:30f2bff1-bc94-4a53-9fe0-b76c00a185bc> | CC-MAIN-2017-39 | http://bridgetag.blogspot.com/2015/08/ | 2017-09-22T02:32:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-39/segments/1505818688158.27/warc/CC-MAIN-20170922022225-20170922042225-00116.warc.gz | en | 0.982841 | 751 |

The single quote strangeness was due to a copy/paste from GoogleDocs. I'll have to keep that in mind when using that to share code.
is starting to make more sense now. I'm not sure if I have any preferences for documentation style yet. I like POD for the space it gives the text, except when I don't want to look at it, especially since I tend to prefer keeping the documentation near the methods. Javadoc is easily hidden in Eclipse, but I'm a little put off by its differentness. I haven't seen a style that really grabs me so far.
I was in two minds in the printargs method. It looks better the way you've written it. I was trying to keep it simple so that people with no knowledge of Perl could see how it works, but I do like the for line. Likewise, I'd used lots of whitespace in the attribute distributions to make it 'friendlier'.
Sometimes I can think of 6 impossible LDAP attributes before breakfast.

Islamic ornaments are one of the greatest achievements of ancient geometers, artisans and craftsmen in the Middle East, Turkey, India, Spain, and North Africa. These ornaments are frequently used to decorate sacred, secular and private buildings, books, and furniture. Istanbul, in particular, is a place where such ornaments were, and still are, frequently used. In this book we will explore selected geometric ornaments from Istanbul. Many of these ornaments can be created by using very precise geometric constructions. We will analyze the structure of these ornaments and show how grids used to draw these ornaments, were constructed. A computer program, The Geometer's Sketchpad, will be used to construct these grids as well as complete ornaments. In a few examples a computer graphics program will be used to add some finishing touches to our work. Many of the examples presented in this book have a significant cognitive value. While creating them we can learn a number of important topics in geometry, e.g., constructions of regular polygons, constructions of figures circumscribed or inscribed in a circle, division of angles and segments into a given number of parts, transformations of figures, a touch of symmetry groups, and a number of other topics. | <urn:uuid:3464e1fa-3a27-4e5c-abe0-06d8fcddde80> | CC-MAIN-2021-04 | https://wydawnictwo.umk.pl/en/products/2331/islamic-geometric-ornaments-in-istanbul | 2021-01-24T12:17:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-04/segments/1610703548716.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20210124111006-20210124141006-00374.warc.gz | en | 0.932004 | 261 |
16 Tasks of the Festive Season: Square 3 – St. Martin’s Day – and Square 15 – Newtonmas
Tasks for St. Martin’s Day: Write a Mother Goose-style rhyme or a limerick; the funnier the better. –OR– Take a picture of the book you’re currently reading, next to a glass of wine, or the drink of your choice, with or without a fire in the background.
Tasks for Newtonmas: Take a moment to appreciate gravity and the laws of motion. If there’s snow outside, have a snowball fight with a friend or a member of your family. –OR– Take some time out to enjoy the alchemical goodness of a hot toddy or chocolate or any drink that relies on basic chemistry/alchemy (coffee with cream or sugar / tea with milk or sugar or lemon, etc.). Post a picture of your libations and the recipe if it’s unique and you’re ok with sharing it.
I decided to combine these two into one for a late candlelight breakfast this morning:
The drink is white hot chocolate; a gift from my BFF from our trip to London back in June. Basically, it just calls for the white chocolate powder to be mixed into hot milk … my mom, however, had the brilliant and very alchemically correct idea of adding a pinch of ground (or instant) coffee. | <urn:uuid:662fa917-ebd0-4789-b3ba-6b22bebbddec> | CC-MAIN-2021-21 | https://themisathena.wordpress.com/2017/12/30/candlelight-breakfast-and-a-book/ | 2021-05-09T22:13:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-21/segments/1620243989018.90/warc/CC-MAIN-20210509213453-20210510003453-00439.warc.gz | en | 0.914483 | 297 |

After letting one get away earlier this week, the Richmond Spartans were not going to allow a second MRVC East road contest slip away Thursday night at Lexington. After taking a 6-point lead into the second period, the Richmond offense regained its form on the way to a 75-41 rout of the Minutemen.
“It was a good bounce back,” Richmond Coach Duane Bastob said. “It was a total team effort with five players scoring at least 8 points. Jon Vance dominated the inside, and we got 10 3-pointers.”
Vance led the scoring for Richmond with a game-high 16, with 14 of those coming in the first half as the Spartans pulled away to a 42-24 lead. Blaine Broderick provided the outside scoring with four buckets outside the arc on the way to a 12-point night.
Kyle Carroll knocked down three from 3-point land, while Jacob Swope, Trey Folvarcik and D’Andre Williams each added a 3-pointer as the Spartans improved to 4-2 in the league and 14-6 overall.
Williams ended the contest with 13 points followed by Carroll with 9 and Jordan Smith with 8. Robert Brewer added 6 points to go along with a team-high 10 rebounds.
Also scoring for Richmond was Swope with 4, Folvarcik with 3, with James Vance and Kyle Ash each adding 2.
After the Spartans built a 42-24 halftime lead, the visitors put the game away in the third quarter with a 23-8 scoring advantage and then closed out the night with a 10-9 edge in the final frame.
Brad Watring led the Lexington scoring with 15 points as the Minutemen slip to 0-6 in conference and 3-16 overall.
The Spartans converted 9 of 14 from the stripe while Lexington did not visit the line.

WASHINGTON (DTN) -- Crude and refined product futures on the New York Mercantile Exchange moved mixed in midmorning trade Wednesday, with front-month West Texas Intermediate edging higher following the release of government data showing U.S. crude oil inventories unexpectedly increased during the week ended Nov. 19 and domestic production rose to 11.5 million barrels per day (bpd), offsetting larger-than-expected drawdown from fuel supplies as demand for petroleum products pushed higher ahead of the holiday season.
Midmorning inventory data reported nationwide crude oil supplies increased 1 million barrels (bbl) from the previous week to 434 million bbl and are now about 7% below the five-year average. Earlier this week, analysts expected crude inventories would decline by 800,000 bbl. The crude build was realized even as domestic refiners increased run rates for the fifth consecutive week through Nov. 19, up 0.7% to 88.6%, compared with analyst expectations for a 0.3% increase.
Domestic crude oil production, meanwhile, increased 100,000 bpd to 11.5 million, according to EIA. Oil stored at the Cushing, Oklahoma, hub -- the delivery point for WTI futures -- rose 787,000 bbl from the previous week to 27.4 million bbl.
Additionally, gasoline stockpiles declined by 602,992 bbl from the previous week to 211.4 million bbl compared with analyst expectations for inventories to have decreased 500,000 bbl. Demand for motor gasoline gained 93,000 bpd from the previous week to 9.334 million bbl, while remaining more than 100,000 above the five-year average. Gasoline consumption in the United States typically strengthens heading into the Thanksgiving holiday, with over 53 million Americans expected to hit the road this week, according to the American Automobile Association.
Distillate stocks fell 2 million bbl to 121.7 million bbl and are now about 5% below the five-year average. Analysts had estimated a smaller 700,000 million bbl decline from the previous week. Distillate demand extended higher for the third consecutive week to 4.391 million bpd.
Total commercial petroleum inventories decreased 6 million bbl last week.
Total products supplied over the last four-week period averaged 20.7 million bpd, up 7% from the same period last year. Over the past four weeks, motor gasoline product supplied averaged 9.3 million bpd, up 11.5% from the same period last year. Distillate fuel product supplied averaged 4.2 million bpd over the past four weeks, up 3% from the same period last year. Jet fuel product supplied was up 40.4% compared with the same four-week period last year.
In late morning trading, NYMEX January WTI futures advanced $0.33 to trade at $78.83 bbl and NYMEX December RBOB futures traded unchanged near $2.3385 gallon. The front-month ULSD contract gained to $2.4025 gallon, up 1.82 cents on the session so far.

Well, we've got another successful New Year's Eve in the books. Thanks to everyone who celebrated with us on Monday night, it was a good time!
This year, we added a fun photo prop to the party, borrowing an idea from our friend Sara.
Dave bought a giant whiteboard and meticulously cut it down to resemble a polaroid photo. Remember those? We love 'em.
It seems to be a big trend in photography right now for people to pose with ornate, vintage frames, a'la the opening credits of Modern Family, and we thought the polaroid frame was a fresh twist on the trend.
Partiers could write their own message on the whiteboard if they wanted and pose for a fun picture. Here's a couple of our favorites:
Thanks to Michelle for the pictures! Visit our Facebook page to see a few more.
The Mayans were wrong, we're all still here and looking forward to 2013! Join the Sandbar on Monday night to ring in the new year, luau-style.
That's right, we're getting back to our tropical roots and throwing a beach-themed bash. One of my favorite new year's eve parties at the Sandbar was the luau of 1996 (was it really that long ago?!):
That's Dave sitting on the bar. And if you're wondering what everyone's holding in this picture, well, they're bananas. One of the bright ideas Dave had that year was to have a banana bite-off contest. The contestants lined up on the bar, and each person bit off as much of their banana as they could. The person who bit off the most won a T-shirt.
Congratulations again to Gina, in the maroon sweater, for her accomplishment.
Anyway. We'll have snacks and tropical decorations, along with our wide array of tropical drinks. Back in 1997, we pretty much only had Bahama Mamas. Our selection has expanded a lot since those days.
The cover charge is just $5. And of course, we'll have a champagne toast at midnight.
So for those of you who want to kick back and relax on New Year's Eve and avoid fancy attire, we're your place. Or dress up if you want to.
Maybe Dave will bring back the banana contest or the limbo, you never know.
Have you picked up your 2012 commemorative new year's pint glass yet? They're only $3, and they're super cute!
This pint glass was designed by Sandbar friend Jesse. Here are some of the things Jesse had to say about the Sandbar:
What's your favorite tropical drink? Shark Attack
What's your favorite jukebox song? Jessie's Girl (of course!)
Longest you've waited in line at the bar? Never
Funniest or favorite memory at the bar? On my 21st birthday, an old man licked the long blue plastic nose that came with my friend Deede's drink. Things got really awkward really fast.
Here's a few pictures Jesse sent us:
Thanks for the great pint glass design, Jesse! If you're interested in designing a pint glass for us, pay attention to our blog. We'll announce the next design we're looking for soon.
We've got new pint glasses!
Our latest addition to the pint glass collection commemorates the arrival of 2012:
Sandbar fan Jesse submitted this design a few months ago, and while we wanted to have it available before 2012 actually began, our Christmas glasses were still going strong and well, we were a little busy.
The other thing we love about this design? The stork delivering a baby tiki makes a reference to the arrival of Dave's baby! Whether Jesse knew Dave was about to be a dad or not, we don't know, but we love this design.
Check back later this week to learn more about the designer, Jesse.
The pint glasses are available now for $3 each. Stop by to get yours today, and don't forget to bring it back every Thursday for $2.50 tropical drinks!
Yes, New Year's Eve is a loooong way away. But it'll be here before we know it, and we want to be prepared!
We've got a lot of Halloween pint glasses in stock right now (why aren't you buying them, people?!) and Thanksgiving isn't too far away, so we're not going to do a special Thanksgiving glass this year. And we've already got a submission for a Christmas glass that we really love, so the next holiday is New Year's Eve. We haven't done a special glass for that holiday yet.
Got an idea? We'd love to see it! Check out last year's Thanksgiving, winter, Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day and graduation pint glasses for examples.
Here's what we're looking for:
- The design has to be a black and white line art drawing. We only print single-color designs, so a design with multiple colors won't work. Shadows and other shading won't work either.
- Keep it simple. Remember, pint glasses aren't huge and the design will only be a few inches in size. The design should be fairly basic and not have a lot of tiny detail, and it should also translate well to a small size.
- You don't need to include the Sandbar name or logo. Our logo will be on the other side of the glass.
Our panel of judges will choose their favorite design that also meets the above requirements. It's also possible that we'll choose more than one. And it's also possible that we might combine elements from more than one design into a new design.
What do you get if your design is chosen? Well, our undying gratitude and fifteen minutes of fame on our blog, for one. We'll also give you a pack of pint glasses and a T-shirt of your choice.
Submissions can be emailed to firstname.lastname@example.org. We're also looking for a custom design for our first tropical drink, the Bahama Mama, so if you've got an idea for that one instead, send it to us.
Disclaimer stuff: submitting your design to us gives us full rights to use it on our websites, social networking sites and merchandise. We'll give you credit everywhere we can, of course.
Our New Year's Eve wig party was a big hit, and now our staff (ahem, Dave) can't get enough of the wigs.
The rainbow-colored clown wig has made an appearance on more than one occasion and more than one head since New Year's Eve.
It's too bad we can't find a super cheap supply of wigs somewhere. Everyone seems to love the drink toys they can wear, like the glasses and the moustaches. How awesome would it be to get a wig with your Bahama Mama?! | <urn:uuid:950fd3a1-fc22-43e0-aecf-c771125e2bf1> | CC-MAIN-2018-17 | http://www.thesandbar.com/category/new-years-eve/ | 2018-04-22T10:33:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-17/segments/1524125945584.75/warc/CC-MAIN-20180422100104-20180422120104-00346.warc.gz | en | 0.961142 | 1,426 |

I’d like to come with questions about the topic of PLM and Data Modeling. The idea of this discussion came out of some comments and conversation made on PLM Think Tank. Since, it was presented as a significant differentiation in the capability of PLM system(s) to make their job, I decided it important enough to discuss.
Fundamentally, PLM Data Model is the heart and the core of any PDM/PLM implementation and system. The ability to model design, engineering and manufacturing data as well as processes around, obviously comes as a very important. However, since the topic of modeling is about company products and process, it is always coming as something unique in the organization. In the early beginning of PDM, systems were not flexible and requires physical change (re-build) to handle specific product and process data. Nowadays, PDM/PLM systems are claiming sort of flexible data modeling capabilities that make them possible to apply to any customer situation. At the same time, cost of this “application” is sometimes very expensive.
PLM Data Model Uniqueness
What make PLM Data Modeling so unique? Why do we need it? Maybe we can avoid this process, by supplying something generic and not requiring change for every customer? There are two extreme examples I want to bring in the context of these questions. One is about Excel (or spreadsheets). Basically, we can model almost everything in the spreadsheet these days. It is absolutely good, since it is damn flexible and can run out-of-the-box. However, to understand these models, you need to keep Chief Excel Officer in your organization for full time job. As an opposite – why we cannot make “the universal PLM data mode”. Since, this is all about engineering and manufacturing, we can finally identify what to put there. It may work, but every time, your customer will ask you about “small changes” to be made in order to support their requirements.
Standards and Best Practices
I can see these two options as a industry try to deliver a compromise between Excel and One-PLM-Model. Standard activities were very popular (and may be still popular) in the engineering and manufacturing world. Standards for product data exchange, supply chain, industry standards, etc. In parallel with that, big software and service vendors tried to come with so called “best practices”- a simplified way to delivery data model for a specific segment of customers, industry vendors. The fundamental difference between standards and best practices, in my view, was at the level of “agreement” achieved between parties involved into this activity.
Where I want this discussion to go? I think, PLM (or engineering and manufacturing) data models are an interesting topic and real problem. In many cases, it defines the success of the implementation or PLM software in general. This is a technical and marketing issue at the same time. At the same level data modeling influence implementation and product architecture, it is always used as part of the marketing story. Do you think a PLM data model is a key of the future success of PLM implementations? Conversely, maybe you think it is a technical term, and it should dissolve into “real conversation about functions and value of PLM systems”?
What is my conclusion today? I want to listen to your opinions. From my side, I’ve seen this topic touched hearts of many people involved into discussions. In my view, PLM Data Model defines the level of flexibility (or new word – “granularity”).

Jury deliberations resume in trial over 1974 death
by KIX101.1 /1230 KFJB News Department
posted Jan 27 2014 9:41AM
~ OTTUMWA, Iowa (AP) - Jurors have resumed deliberations at the trial of a man charged in the 1974 slaying of a 17-year-old girl found dead at an Iowa farmhouse.
The Wapello County jury convened Monday to consider the case against Robert "Gene" Pilcher in the death of Mary Jayne Jones.
Jurors could find Pilcher guilty of first-degree murder, of two lesser charges or acquit him. They started deliberating Thursday afternoon.
Pilcher maintains his innocence in the death of Jones, who was found beaten and shot to death at the house near Ottumwa.
Prosecutors say Pilcher is tied to the crime through evidence that links his DNA to semen on a blanket on which Jones' body was found.
Pilcher's defense lawyers say the DNA came from another sexual encounter in that bed with another woman. | <urn:uuid:66e6e8c1-36dc-42d6-8841-c6da7b472b4a> | CC-MAIN-2015-48 | http://www.kixweb.com/Jury-deliberations-resume-in-trial-over-1974-death/17316231?archive=1&pid=378776 | 2015-12-02T01:38:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-48/segments/1448398525032.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20151124205525-00142-ip-10-71-132-137.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.958803 | 217 |
There are many types of grass that can be grown in different areas with optimal results, but the seasons are also going to play a major role in those results. Today, we are going to give you a good list of grass types and how well they grow depending on the weather conditions and the time of the year.
Cool season grasses
There are several types of grass that are going to grow much faster and with a better look during cool seasons. Some of them include the Kentucky bluegrass, Fine Fescue, Perennial Ryegrass; Bentgrass, and the Tall fescue. They are more likely to grow properly at temperatures of 60 to 75 Fahrenheit and this means that spring and fall are ideal for these types of grass. They are also ideally fertilized during those two seasons.
These grass types (C-3 plants) begin their carbohydrate production with a 3 carbon compound. Their roots grow optimally at 55 degrees.
Warm season grasses
The warm season grasses are known for growing quite fast during the warm season. These grass types include the Bahia, the Bermuda, the Centipede, the St.Augustine and the Zoysia. They grow properly when they are at temperatures of 80 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit and this means that the optimal season for their growth are the Spring and summer.
Knowing which type of grass is going to grow better during each season is going to allow you to make the right kind of purchase and you will see optimal results when growing your grass. | <urn:uuid:a06292fb-bf25-42cc-95ca-bdac581e5879> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://simplelawnsolutions.com/blogs/lawncare/cool-season-warm-season-lawns | 2022-01-24T16:27:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304572.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20220124155118-20220124185118-00187.warc.gz | en | 0.975941 | 311 |
VI is not what you might expect a You Me At Six album to sound like. Recorded at VADA Studios with Dan Austin (Biffy Clyro, Massive Attack, Pixies), and for the first time ever co-produced by the band, the new album showcases the band as they’ve never been heard before – switching moods and styles with breathless confidence.Whilst retaining their bite, VI sees them flourish with uplifting alternative pop tracks such as ‘Back Again’,‘3AM’ & ‘Pray For Me’, straying into new territories with electro dance floor leanings on ‘IOU’, while heavier tracks like ‘Fast Forward’ & ‘Predictable’ are set to strike a chord with the band’s long standingrock fanbase.
You Me At Six are young enough to still be releasing their first album. And if VI were that first album, it would be hailed as one of the most exciting albums by a British band in years – uncategorisable but familiar, raucous but mainstream.
With four Top 5 albums under their belt in the UK, including a Number 1 with 2014’s Cavalier Youth, and an unparalleled 15 consecutive A-List singles on BBC Radio One, You Me At Six kicked things off last night with a first play for ‘3AM’ as Annie Mac‘s ‘Hottest Record’.
The band have notched up a list of considerable achievements since forming in 2004 as teenagers in Weybridge, Surrey, including four UK Gold Records, four Top 10 albums in the UK including Number 1 album Cavalier Youth, three sold out arena shows, sold out UK headline arena tours, multiple sold-out US headline tours and a Number 1 rock song in UK & Australia and Top 5 Rock Radio track in North America in Room To Breathe.
VI sees the band release music for the first time under their own imprint Underdog Records in partnership with Cooking Vinyl Australia, another sign of their new found confidence and growing belief that they can claim their place at rock’s top table on their own terms. “You have to make music for yourself,” singer Josh Franceschi says, “because without authenticity people are going to smell the bullshit. None of us are going to into this with any fear, because we’ve made something we can stand behind.”
The band are also gearing up for an exciting second of half of 2018 on the road. Having sold out arena tours in the UK previously, as well as headlining the NME/Radio 1 stage at Reading & Leeds in 2017, the band will debut new songs from the forthcoming album at Download Festival on June 8th, where they’ll headline the second stage, as well as appearances at both Community Festival & Belladrum in the UK.
You Me At Six are stepping out of their comfort zone and are about to change the way you think about them. Prepare to have your expectations shifted as 2018 marks a brand new chapter for one of the UK’s biggest guitar bands.

I wrote here at PJ Media, at the end of August, about how I was dropped from Patreon at the behest of MasterCard — which claimed that it had done so because my websitefeatured “illegal content.” Since then, MasterCard has ignored a letter from an attorney, and Discover has likewise begun to refuse to process donations to my organization Jihad Watch. These credit card companies appear to be digging in on their commitment to denying service to those with political opinions they dislike. The implications of that are ominous for everyone.
MasterCard and Discover are almost certainly acting against me at the urging of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), which for years has defamed me as a “hate group leader” and an “anti-Muslim extremist.” These are not mere words. Tyler O’Neil reported in PJ Media last September that former SPLC spokesman Mark Potok declared: “Sometimes the press will describe us as monitoring hate groups, I want to say plainly that our aim in life is to destroy these groups, completely destroy them.”
Potok added: “You are able to destroy these groups sometimes by the things you publish. It’s not so much that they will bring down the police or the federal agents on their head, it’s that you can sometimes so mortally embarrass these groups that they will be destroyed. … We see this political struggle. We’re not trying to change anybody’s mind. We’re trying to wreck the groups. We’re trying to destroy them. Not to send them to prison unfairly or to take their free speech rights away, but as a political matter to destroy them.”
By getting two major credit card companies on board, the SPLC is well on its way in my case — unless MasterCard and Discover Card reverse themselves, and I haven’t given up on that. I’ve also started an Indiegogo fundraiser to raise money to sue the SPLC. It will be interesting to see if the SPLC prevails upon Indiegogo to quash a fundraiser that is critical of the SPLC.
Those who may be applauding MasterCard and Discover Card for quashing a “hate group leader” should stop and think for a minute. The first question for them to ponder is this: What if the SPLC is wrong? It is already established that the SPLC is not infallible in determining who is “hateful” and who isn’t — witness the $3,375,000 it paid to Maajid Nawaz for smearing him as “anti-Muslim extremist.”
Then consider a hypothetical world in which credit card companies and social media platforms shunned people on the word not of the Southern Poverty Law Center, but on the word of, say, the American Family Association. In that event, the Left, that is so authoritarian today, would suddenly become champions of the freedom of speech. But this will remain a hypothetical, because outside of The Handmaid’s Tale, the AFA and other socially conservative groups would never crack down on dissent the way that the Left is doing today.
Nonetheless, the point is still sound: Once it is generally accepted that people can be barred from services based on their political views, America has ceased to exist as a free society.
What will be the next step? Will MasterCard and Discover deny me a personal credit card as well, because I’m on the SPLC’s hit list? Will the SPLC pressure other companies to deny service to me and others that the SPLC has defamed?
In five or ten years, if this trend is not checked, will it be possible for me and others whom the SPLC is trying to destroy to buy a house? A car? Groceries? If the precedent is established that people can be discriminated against based on their political views, there is no telling where it could end, or if it will end at all.
Whatever you may think of me and of the other people that the SPLC has targeted for destruction, the implications of what is being done are clear. America is at a crossroads today. The choice before us is whether we will continue to exist as a free society, or whether we will become a totalitarian state in which holding the proper opinions is an indispensable prerequisite of being able to function as a citizen at all….

Rating the Chelsea Players Against Southampton
It is a good result for a club that has dominated this competition for the past few years, winning four of the last six trophies.
Unsurprisingly in a 5-1 win, there were few bad individual performances, but here are the ratings for the Chelsea players against Southampton.
Ross Turnbull: 7
Standing in for the injured Petr Cech, Turnbull has looked comfortable in the Chelsea goal.
He was not tested as much as Boruc in the Southampton goal, but still made some saves to limit the Saints to the one goal.
As for the goal itself, Turnbull was not really to blame. He did well to close in on Rodriguez and was unlucky not to get a hand to the shot.
Ashley Cole: 8.5
Chelsea's captain for the day was in fine form, showing us once more why Chelsea would be crazy to let him go at the end of the season.
Solid defensively, captain Cole was reliable as ever at the back, and also added an assist for Moses to make it 2-1 just before half-time.
Branislav Ivanovic: 9
Ivanovic has been Chelsea's best defender hands down this season. He continued his fine form Saturday.
He was solid as a rock at the back, making some important tackles, and also scored with an excellent header to put the game out of Southampton's reach.
A top-quality performance.
Gary Cahill: 7
A mixed performance from the England defender.
Cahill lost his man and was subsequently to blame for the Southampton goal. With that exception, he put in a good performance.
Cesar Azpilicueta: 6
There's not much to say about Azpilicueta, as he was pretty absent for most of the match.
He was nowhere to be found in the lead up to the goal and didn't have much impact on the attack. Not a bad performance, but not spectacular either.
David Luiz: 6.5
The Brazilian was not at his best going forward, giving the ball away a couple of times, but made a few key tackles.
In the end, his biggest impact was when he was defending, especially after making the switch to defense in the second half.
It seems as though Ramires is too often the unsung hero of this Chelsea team.
Once again he made several crucial interceptions and kick-started many of Chelsea's best attacking moves.
Juan Mata: 9.5
The Spanish striker proved once again why he is indispensable to this Chelsea team.
He created the equalizing goal out of nothing (and perhaps deserved to be credited for it) and put in a tireless performance, making runs and creating chances throughout the match.
Eden Hazard: 6.5
This was not his best performance in a Chelsea shirt, but he did show moments of brilliance with a few nice touches.
Victor Moses: 7
Moses was the main performer when the team was behind. He played a part in Chelsea's first goal and scored the second to put them in front.
Less effective in the second half, he was taken off in the 73rd minute.
Demba Ba: 9
Can you ask for a better debut as a striker?
Two goals and some good defensive work—only a hat-trick would have bettered this performance from Chelsea's new target man.
The match was all but over by the time any substitutions were made.
Frank Lampard had the biggest effect on the game when he scored a penalty to equal Kerry Dixon as the second-highest Chelsea goalscorer.
Marin and Oscar both came on too late to make much of an impact. | <urn:uuid:6dcad971-6319-43c7-b713-f0318e851eeb> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1471805-rating-the-chelsea-players-against-southampton | 2018-06-20T14:34:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267863519.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20180620124346-20180620144346-00351.warc.gz | en | 0.98512 | 765 |
We’ve now arrived at the halfway point between Summer Solstice and Fall Equinox. While we are still in the midst of summer, our thoughts are beginning to stretch ahead into what the fall season has in wait for us.
And speaking of the fall season, mark the weekend of November 2-4, 2012 for the Jeffrey Wolf Green Evolutionary Astrology Conference, where I will present again this year. The conference was very successful last year, and will take place again at the Still Mountain Conference and Retreat Center near Portland, Oregon. The early registration price is available until August 15th. I’ll present an asteroid lecture on The Sacred Marriage: Vesta, Juno, and Psyche. This talk will be a modern update of material I presented a few UAC’s back, in a talk titled Venus, Vesta and Juno.
The Guide on the Journey
Yesterday, as part of my post-birthday celebration, I went on a rafting trip along the scenic and wild rapids of the nearby McKenzie River. While on that adventure, I was inspired as to how to write this newsletter. It is all about the guide on the journey. This was my first river rafting experience of this level, and I was happy indeed to hear that our seasoned guide has been navigating these waters for 35 years.
Let’s take a look at which planetary archetype is guiding the journey for our two presidential candidates, Barack Obama and Mitt Romney.
As many of you know, this past year I’ve primarily focused upon presenting the most fundamental principles of traditional astrology to astrological audiences, and gave the best distillation and synthesis to date in the 7-hour pre-conference intensive at Norwac in April which I’ll summarize for you here.
Knowing how to evaluate a planet’s condition is the first step to truly understanding how to then interpret its meaning in the natal chart. When assessing a planet’s condition, we are trying to understand that planet’s capacity to guide the individual to making choices that result in fortunate and positive outcomes in the life. Then we can see the planet as a descriptor of character and overseer of the topics of life, such as marriage, health, children, or finances.
A planet’s natal condition is also the key factor in prediction when that planet becomes activated in timing procedures such annual profections, progressions, transits, solar returns, and other time lord techniques.
In the NORWAC talk, we looked at the charts the US’s two presidential candidates Barack Obama and Mitt Romney, and focused our attention on the planet that rules each of their Ascendant signs. Hellenistic astrologers called the Ascendant the Helm, implying that it was like the steering wheel of the ship that carries us to our destination. The planetary domicile lord of the Ascendant can be compared to the Steersman of our life journey. How qualified and capable is our rafting guide, steering us through the rapids so we actually arrive at the end of our intended journey, safe, successful, and happy?
In Obama’s chart, Saturn, as the traditional domicile lord of his Aquarian Ascendant, holds the role of steersman; while Romney has Mercury, ruler of his Gemini Ascendant, as his guide.
We then subjected these two planets to more than thirty different criteria, each of which yielded some kind of information as the planet’s potential to guide the individual to a successful arrival at their destination/destiny. Our criteria included: malefic/benefic predispositions, sect, sect-mates, sect rejoicing conditions, four different kinds of rulerships powers, aspect modifications, speed, visibility, direction, and house factors. At the end of the workshop, the participants were asked to give each planet a grade as to how well it was equipped to do its job as guide. They gave Obama’s Saturn a ‘B minus’ and Romney’s Mercury a ‘C’ or maybe ‘C plus,’ concluding that Obama had a very slight edge over Romney in his capacity to steer the ship.
What the process revealed is that Obama’s agenda, with Saturn in the 12th house, is steered by the topic of secret enemies. His advocacy and use of Drone Warfare is a larger factor in his presidency than seems obvious at first glance, and it begs the question of secret enemies at home as well as abroad. While his Saturn in Capricorn is strong in some respects, it also has a number of difficulties, and it is not at all clear if he can be victorious over his hidden foes in the end.
Romney’s Mercury placed in the 10th house and also ruling 4th, points to how he is steered by the vision of public prominence and position, which is partly motivated by wanting to continue and surpass his father’s aspirations. But the class judged his Mercurial guide to be quite ineffective (due to its detriment, invisible status, and retrograde direction for starters). And the help Romney’s Mercury does have comes from the assets of others in a round-about manner. At that time we had already witnessed his verbal gaffes such as “I am not worried about the poor” and “My wife has two Cadillacs.” But this past week we saw this verbal ineptitude on display on the international scene as the British government and tabloids were outraged and insulted by his remarks that they might not be ready for the Olympics.
This analysis is not about who will win the election, but rather an insight into the relative ability of each person to steer one’s life towards a successful accomplishment of destiny. It is an important preliminary step in the study of any chart that allows us to integrate the other many experiences that occur along the way.
Trauma and the Hellenistic Aspects
This weekend, on August 3-4, I return to Portland to go deeper into the Hellenistic conceptual theory and use of aspects, and will teach the workshop as a hand-on practicum with our own charts. We will explore the psychological application of the techniques with the notion that certain kinds of aspect configurations are one of the indicators of trauma, whether the trauma is caused from past lives or the current life. I would love for you to join us. This weekend and the EA conference in November will be the only two public teachings for the remainder of 2012, here in my home state of Oregon. | <urn:uuid:90437764-7110-4883-9200-50743d3c5e7e> | CC-MAIN-2021-04 | https://demetra-george.com/newsletter/august-2012-news/ | 2021-01-15T17:14:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-04/segments/1610703495936.3/warc/CC-MAIN-20210115164417-20210115194417-00108.warc.gz | en | 0.964646 | 1,350 |

Numerous factors impact reproductive success in beef cattle; however, the presence and activity of bacteria in the reproductive tract and its effects on fertility is relatively unknown. The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between reproductive tract bacterial communities and cytokine profiles prior to timed-AI (TAI) and compare between resulting pregnancy status at d30. Sixty-eight beef cows, 80 ± 2.6 d postpartum at TAI, were synchronized and subjected to TAI on d0. Pregnancy was diagnosed via transrectal ultrasonography on d30. Uterine and vaginal flushes were collected on d -21 and -2 for bacterial DNA extraction to sequence the V1-V3 hypervariable regions of the 16S rRNA gene and to measure pro-inflammatory [interlukin-6 (IL-6)] and anti-inflammatory [IL-10 and transforming growth factor-beta (TGFβ)] cytokine concentrations using validated commercial ELISAs. Concentration data were analyzed using repeated measures in PROC MIXED of SAS and correlations were performed in SAS using Pearson correlation. There were no differences in cytokine concentrations by day or status x day. There were no differences in uterine IL-6 or IL-10 concentrations (P < 0.05). Uterine TGFβ concentrations were overall elevated in pregnant cows compared to open cows (72.6 vs. 13.7 ± 12.1 pg/mL, respectively; P > 0.05). On d -2, a positive correlation exists between TGFβ and the relative abundance of Actinobacteria in the uterus of pregnant cows (r=0.93, P = 0.02). There were no differences in vaginal IL-6 or TGFβ concentrations (P < 0.05). On d -2, vaginal IL-10 concentrations were elevated in open cows compared to pregnant cows (741.6 vs. 602.1 ± 47.0 pg/mL, respectively; P > 0.05) and a positive correlation exists between IL-10 and the relative abundance of Lentisphaerae in the vagina of pregnant cows (r=0.89, P = 0.04). These data suggest a possible relationship between bacterial communities and cytokines concentrations within the reproductive tract of beef cattle which may affect fertility. | <urn:uuid:a12d1871-e1b7-495b-af7d-e848694e981e> | CC-MAIN-2022-21 | https://vivo.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/n568470SE | 2022-05-25T06:08:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-21/segments/1652662580803.75/warc/CC-MAIN-20220525054507-20220525084507-00435.warc.gz | en | 0.941061 | 481 |

Disclaimer: I’ve only worked in department stores. So I’m not sure how different it may be for some. These are just small thoughts on some common things that have happened to me. Maybe you’ve done this or if you’ve worked in a store it’s happened to you…
If you haven’t worked in a store before of course you’ll probably hate my post. I know the common response is: “Don’t complain at least you have a job” or “Meh, you get paid to do that stop bitching about it.”
1) I don’t understand why some people feel like complaining about the store to a sales associate.
Customer: “Why do you buy cheap hangers in this store?”
I replied to this person “I’m sorry” and smiled, but I’m sure that isn’t what she wanted to hear.
My actual response would have been: “I’ve been asking myself the same question lady. You can’t hang anything in these, this store is so cheap man.”
That would have probably gotten me fired.
I’m at the end of the food chain, seriously. If you really feel like something is wrong in the store there are managers and lead sales people in some stores.
2) Don’t assume the sales person knows about: each product in the entire store (if it’s a department store) or fashion (some may know, some are just as lost as you are).
Customer: “I saw this pretty white dress last time I was here.”
Me: “Do you remember a brand name or where in the floor it was?”
(There are dresses in the dress department and dresses in the casual wear department- there’s also petite/ womens sizes which are different departments too)
Customer *suddenly angry*: “No, I just know it was pretty and it had no sleeves. How is it that you don’t know?”
I kid you not. I have had this type of conversation. Think for a moment, how many white sleeveless dresses there can be in a department store.
Also, I mentioned fashion…
“Do you think this matches with this?”
My thought process goes: “Did I watch Project Runway last night? Did I see this on a mannequin somewhere? Oh my god, I don’t even know how I matched the outfit I’m wearing!”
After what seems like an eternity: I smile and say “Yes, of course.”
Customer thinks I’m stupid and slow, but buys the item. Win!
3) I can be a bit of a prude sometimes and sometimes there’s no easy way to tell someone they really shouldn’t try pulling that zipper up anymore: Lingerie department and dress department.
70- 80 year old customer: “Can you help me out of this bra?”
(Has the door 90 degrees open and after I unhook the bra she passes it to me, forgetting of course that there is no bra underneath that bra, I get flashed. Great)
I’ve also had the lady that thinks its ok to walk around half naked if she’s not done with the fitting room. No, not a 70-80 year old.
Customer: “Can you zip this up for me?”
(I’m not the skinniest person out there, but I know what size I am and I don’t fit in that size she’s trying to fit in)
Me: “I’m sorry, I can’t pull it up”
Customer: “TRY HARDER, LET ME HOLD IT IN!”
Me- Thinking fast for once: “Let me check for another size”
The awkward moment when THAT dress is the biggest size and you have no way of telling the lady that the women’s department may be a better fit. I feel so bad.
I think I’ll leave it there for now, I didn’t realize I’d make it so long. I hate long posts, then again most of my posts are kinda long. I probably could continue writing about this until its a book, so I am stopping now. | <urn:uuid:9b48fe21-e896-48ab-b933-5b101beac5fa> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://kathrynridley.wordpress.com/category/life-happens/ | 2019-06-18T18:43:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998813.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20190618183446-20190618205446-00079.warc.gz | en | 0.955606 | 955 |
Biography of Walter C. Parrott, Jr.
CCCMan, Camp Nile Creek, & Camp near Carnation, Washington & Camp Naches
In May 1933, at the age of 22, I asked my Dad whether I should go into the Marines. Instead, he suggested, "No, son, wait until President Roosevelt's plan for the CCC is ready." After trying to sign up at the recruiting office in Seattle, which wasn't too far from our home in an area south of the city called Des Moines, I was told I would have to go as an alternate as they couldn't take me for sure.
Soon after returning home I received instructions to report to Fort Lewis. There were at least 200 men living there in tents awaiting instructions as to where they were to go. Sgt. Lungo was in charge at this camp and he put me in charge of one group. Among our duties was to make grocery lists for all the men in camp. Also, I collected the mail from the post office daily for distribution and made out the "health and sickness" reports.
Finally half of us at Fort Lewis were sent to Camp Nile Creek and the other half were sent to a camp near Leavenworth, Washington. I was just one of the boys under Capt. Moore and Lt. Enderud. They were in charge of the camp -- sleeping quarters, meals, etc., while the Forest Service was in charge of the work we were to do.
Camp Nile Creek was on the east side of the creek and we had two rows of tents making up our sleeping quarters. We built a long shed from the trees we cut down for the mess hall. The Stringers for the foundation were two feet in diameter.
Because I was late getting on the list for the road survey crew, I wound up doing carpentry work as an apprentice learning to use carpentry tools. For picnic grounds, we built tables chairs, and "comfort stations" -- otherwise commonly known as outhouses. These were well built sheds made out of clear lumber (no knots) with fly proof screened openings in the gables.
For the first three months hot dogs were our only meat. We finally built a cooler on the creek. At that time about the only thing on this creek was a tooth pick mill.
Later, a carpenter was put in charge of the building party and four of us were sent with lumber and two trucks to build a stable. The lumber for the flooring was 3 inches thick. The stable was 14 feet wide by 16 feet long. It was built immediately adjacent to the Forest Service Lookout tower. Inside one corner was a rat proof box for storing grain and oats for the horses. Bill Graham was a green horn like myself, but a little more experienced than I. Some of the others were more experienced in carpentry. One of them had helped his father build barns.
The carpenter had a bulldog with several pups. One weekend I took one home to my mother and she named it Lady. One weekend two of us decided to hike down from the lookout building to a place that looked like a dry lake bed. It was farther than we had thought and after we got down to that landmark there wasn't much more to see but we still had to hike back in the dark. We didn't have flashlights and we could hear the animals whistling and breaking through the brush. It gave us an eerie feeling.
After the stable was built, we returned to the main camp. Soon, the whole camp was moved to another location in near Carnation -- sometime called Tolt because it was on the Tolt River, an estuary of the Snoqualamie River. The convoy traveled at 12 miles an hour -- the spped of the slowest vehicle, a FWD, with the forward and back wheels steering simultaneously.
The first night there we stayed overnight at the veteran's hall in Cle Elum. The following day we got to Fall City, where the Snoqualamie River had flooded. The rest of us had to wait all day while some were sent ahead to learn the road conditions on from Fall City. The trip on the flooded roads was completed safely and we arrived at our already built camp.
Sometime after we arrived, I made a trip home. Dad let me keep his old open Ford for weekends. About ten of us would ride in this old open Ford. One time, enroute to Fall City with ten of us in the car, the overload caused a flat tire. Some of the fellows decided to walk while the others waited while I put a double patch inside and out on the dollar sized hole. After we had traveled some distance, I picked up the walkers. We drove into camp that night and went to see the cook. He fixed us a giant meal piled high with food but I was too exhausted to eat.
During the winter and part of the spring I got started in schooling. It was a class on rapid calculation, but I didn't get to complete the class because we had orders to move back to Camp Naches which was a Forest Service Camp. My service in the Civilian Conservation Corps was from Spring of 1933 to July 10, 1934.
The CCC proved to be an important stepping stone for it led me to the WPA in the King County assessor's office. When asked if I had experience with T-Squares and Triangles, I replied "IN a high school post-graduate course in 1931 I completed a year's merchanical drawing in five months"> Also in 1931 I had elementary drawing in the fist quarter at the U of W.
The experience gained in the assessor's office led to the King County Aerial Survey for a new project - a phase of the WPA and the War Department. That work was supervised by the United States Coast & Geodetic Survey (USC&GS) and required triangulation survey stations from King County to Great Falls, Montana. My next opportunity involved work as a technician recorder for a survey party which read angles between the lights. This was my chance to see different parts of the United States that I had not seen before. The USC&GS involved setting up steel towers (90' plus or minus a few inches) for triangulation work in Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, Montana, South Dakota, Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas, Tennessee, West Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York. Alaska, too, was to be included from Valdez to Fairbanks.
Through my services with the USC&GS, I received an "invitation" from the War Department to take a trip to London in February, 1943. These in buildings lined with four miles of hallways, we computed coordinates for the war effort. And after two and a half years, a number of us had the privilege of a six month sojourn in Paris while waiting for a ship to transport us to the U.S. I received an honorable discharge, dated February 13, 1946.
Looking back I'm grateful to the CCC for the privilege of leading me into such an interesting line of work that may never have happened otherwise, including 20 years as a draftsman and computer in the Washington State Highway Department. I've been retired since 1976. Thanks a lot!!! Age at Present 87 Hooray! I'm Happily Married as well to Mary.
