Update Your Contact Information!
Keeping in touch with 1U members and friends is important. You can help keep those communication lines functioning by alerting the office about changes in your contact information: email address, street address, preferred phone numbers. Having current contact information allows 1U to keep you in the loop with all kinds of information about events. It is also vital that current information is available for electronic banking arrangements. Contact Amy Fairweather at firstname.lastname@example.org or call the church office at 407-898-3621. We appreciate your help with this!
Share the Plate Update
We contributed $839.25 to The Hope CommUnity Center through Share the Plate this month. Our next Share the Plate collection will be given to I-Dignity, an organization that assists the homeless and the underprivileged in obtaining identification documents. Legal identification, from birth certificates to Florida I.D.s, is required for many social privileges we may take for granted, such as using library computers, conducting job searches, cashing checks, and voting. I-Dignity provides more than 100 volunteers a month to help people apply for documents, and absorbs all the costs incurred. It is an exemplary example of our first principle in action.
RUUM would like to thank everyone who attended “A Night in Olde Italy” and made the evening a success. We hope you had fun, enjoyed the food, and were uplifted by the music! Special thanks to all the musicians, the Shakespeare Theater and Amy! Photos from the event can be found at https://orlandouu.smugmug.com/2015/A-1U-Night-in-Old-Italy.
A 1U picnic which was tentatively being scheduled in November has been postponed. Keep your eye on this space for a new date.

The Arizona Cardinals out gained and for the most part, out played the Steelers for much of the afternoon, At least until the fourth quarter. The only thing that stood in their way today was of course…themselves. And that ended up being a barrier they could not get around. To add to that, Michael Vick exited the game twice with injuries…the second time would be the end of his game. Enter, Landry Jones. All he did was go 8-12 with 2 touchdown passes, leading the Steelers to a 25-13 victory over the Cardinals.
Today, the Cardinals did everything they could do to lose a ball game. They committed penalties that took points off the board, they committed penalties that extended Steelers drives, and lastly they turned the ball over in big situations. Not to mention, they could not solve the Steelers Fourth String quarterback.
Carson Palmer had to feel like a guy that has seen this before here at Heinz Field. He threw for over 400 yards and a touchdown. But he threw two interceptions, both in big situations. Palmer was only sacked once, but was hit 7 other times. The Steelers also had 7 tackles for losses. The one thing the Cards could not do is run the ball as they were only able to scratch out 55 yards, although I am not convinced they really every committed to it. They were going to live or die on the arm of Carson Palmer. And like usual in Pittsburgh, he shriveled up in a big situation.
Arizona would get out to a 10-3 lead by the end of the first half, but left so many more points on the field. They missed a field goal in the first quarter, along a Palmer interception. Every time it looked like they had momentum, they would do something to negate it. Palmer had thrown a second touchdown pass late in the second quarter, but a penalty would nullify the call and they would have to settle for a field goal. They would go into the half with a 7 point lead that should have been 14 points at least.
To start the second half, The Steelers would put a short drive together after a good return from Dri Archer that would allow them to put a second field goal on the board and cut the Cards lead to 10-6. During that drive, Vick would leave the game after hitting his head on the ground. Jones would have to finish the drive.
On Arizona’s next possession, they would fumble the ball and the Steelers would take over at the Cards 32. By this point, Landry Jones was in the game after relieving Vick yet again after a hamstring injury. He would hit Martavis Bryant in the end zone to give them a 12-10 lead. They would go for two, but Jones would throw an interception in the end zone.
After the defense forced a 3 and out, the Steelers would then put another drive together that would allow Boswell to convert his third field goal of the day to extend the lead to 15-10. The Cards would put 3 more points on the board shortly after and as the teams came down the stretch in the fourth quarter, it was 15-13. That is when Landry Jones went to work.
Jones would guide the Steelers down the field for yet another field goal that would extend that lead out to 18-13. Martavis Bryant was open all afternoon and Jones hit him often. Antonio Brown was thrown to but neither Vick or Jones early could get on the same page with him.
Carson Palmer would get another opportunity and would drive his team down into Steelers territory, only to throw another interception in the endzone, that was brought out to the 10. The Steelers would take over at their own 10 yard line looking to convert a couple of first downs to put the game away. After a Le’Veon Bell 2 yard run, Jones would convert on a crossing pattern to Martavis Bryant in which he ended up making a couple of nice moves in traffic and he would finish it by taking it to the house for 88 yards. That would give the Steelers a 25-13 lead.
The game would end on that score and although the stats say the Cards should have won, it was in fact their mistakes and Pittsburgh ability to convert on those mistakes with Landry Jones at the helm.
Some thoughts on this game. Antonio Brown spent most of the game whining on the side line with regards to not getting the ball enough. He would catch a total of 3 passes for 24 yards. Bryant was the go to guy for Jones. Jones would finish with 6 receptions for 137 yards and 2 touchdowns. Boswell would hit four Field Goals today including another 47 yarder and a 51 yard field goal. The Steelers have solved their kicking issues. And if Jones emerges, they have solved their back up QB issue. The Steelers would lose Beachum to an ACL injury and he is now lost for the season. And with the news this week of Injured Center Maurkice Pouncey having to have yet another surgey, it looks like they will have to finish with 2 of their starters out for the season.
Pittsburgh is now 4-2 and they are still 2 games back of the Bengals who still have not lost. | <urn:uuid:2d4b867c-d6f4-453e-ad9e-389a287f9e11> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | http://dystnow.com/2015/10/18/landry-jones-in-relief-guides-pittsburgh-to-win-over-arizona/ | 2019-05-23T10:00:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232257197.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20190523083722-20190523105722-00035.warc.gz | en | 0.987573 | 1,062 |
Extremely frustrated about Cuts and a broken blister on the lips while sharing a bong.
Aug 26, 2013
I'm a male and 2 days ago I smoked with my friends sharing a mini bong and a cigarette.I have had dinner before I do so and during dinner I remember I have bitten myself which cause a small cut on my inner lips. The cut was not significantly large and it doesn't seem like a deep cut since I just accidentally bited it with my teeth. Also I noticed there was another broken small blister before dinner. The time between I had dinner and smoking is almost 3 hours.
My question is that if I have a small cut and a broken blister while sharing the bong and cigarette
My question is what is the possibility/ percentage of contracting the HIV virus when I put my mouth at the lid of the bong I have been doing this for 3 to 5 times and there were around 6 to 8 people sharing it.Since I have only met the people there and I do not know their status.
I did not see any noticeable blood at the lid of the bong where my lips come into contact but I am not very sure if there is tiny bit of blood which cannot be seen or it has contact with my lips without knowing it myself.
I am wondering if I should go for a virus test. However, I am confused by things on the internet that the smoke generated from the weed, the high temperature from the lighter and the acidity of the chemicals will kill the HIV virus when I inhale it.
Pls pls pls I am extremely frustrating about the subject and I know I should not be so careless when I realize I have small cuts on my mouth. Pls answer my question as : :
how much is the percentage/ possibilities for me to contract the virus in this way??
Should I go for a test??
Many thanks and donations will be made!!! Looking forward for your reply!
Response from Dr. Hightow-Weidman
Hello there- While I do not think there is any risk of contracting HIV in this way, I encourage all persons to get tested and so you are no exception. Take care, LHW

Today would have been Ansel Adams’ 110th birthday. Whoa! The famous photographer and environmentalist pioneered his own exposure and contrast system, and lugged a large-format camera across the American West to produce what are some of the most memorable natural landscapes in the history of photography. We’d like to give him a standing ovation by highlighting a few essential landscape photographers, as well as some evocative, alternative talents mining similar themes and scenes. Enjoy! Just don’t blame us if you’re suddenly struck with a violent bout of wanderlust or impassioned environmentalism.
Ansel Adams is most known for scenes like this — a landscape of splendid, humbling natural imagery, with little trace of man. Sure, they’re a common sight on wall calendars now, but in the early 1930s, Adams’ landscapes were quite trailblazing. Bow down before Mt. Mckinley, mortal!
Along with an uber-talented slew of like-minded San Francisco photographers, Adams founded the f/64 Group, dedicated to promoting their Modernist aesthetic of high-contrast, precisely focused natural scenes and found objects. Of the uber-talented slew’s varied work, Edward Weston’s desertscapes stand out because they’re sexy. There’s something sensual about his sandy the curves, just like the fleshy ones he also photographed.
A descendant of the group, Philip Hyde re-invented the photography book in the 1950s and 1960s. An ardent conservationist campaigner, he felt that the nature in his stunning landscapes was something that had to be seen, to fall in love with and protect: “For every place there will always be people that want to exploit it, and there will always be people — hopefully — that want to save it and keep it as it is. Even with the risk of inviting the crowds into paradise, better to publish your photographs and rally the troops. What’s in the frame of the photograph matters artistically, to be sure, but what’s outside the frame can destroy it.”
And now, for something completely different. Contemporary landscape photographer Chris Friel deliberately blurs his images with his f-stop, creating hazy scenes with minimal editing. It’s the direct opposite of Ansel Adams’ technique. There’s something quite ephemeral about it. Is this what dreams look like?
Edward Burtynsky’s Manufactured Landscapes series is part excellent documentarian work, part surrealist modern nightmare, if your sensitivities are so inclined. His scenes of neon-red factory waste running like bloody rivers through what look like post-apocalyptic landscapes and his grand captures of factory workers and their complexes are stunning. Also, perfectly in tune with symmetry and subtle composition. Skilled, devastating.
Pieter Hugo’s famous Nollywood series of Nigerian B-movie actors was just the beginning. Though not limited to landscape photography in practice, his Permanent Error series of a poisonous Ghana junkyard and its daily gleaners, scouring the burning piles of trash for something they can turn in for a little money, like electrical mechanical waste. Even without these gleaners, the landscape shots are heartbreaking. You wish this was another planet.
Japanese fine art photographer Rinko Kawauchi balances her portfolio with macro-shots of daily beauty and strangeness — clear caviar on a spoon, a smashed pigeon in the street — and landscapes like these. Running through her entire body of work is a strange sort of luminesce. Sometimes it’s a glare of the sun or a trapped and cycling ray. Other times, it’s completely unexplainable. There’s a dreamy feel, but more so, as if the images are charged with something mystical.
One of the most evocative contemporary photographers, Guillaume Herbaut has a definitive style. You’d recognize his portrait of a topless Ukrainian protestor that just won the World Press Photo awards precisely for that — that certain angle that renders urban clusters towers as infinite, sprawling on forever. There’s a lot of Chernobyl ruins porn out there, but his study of Chernobyl’s poisoned neighbor town of Slavoutich is particularly poignant, lonely and quietly majestic.
This just a small selection of our favorites, so feel free to suggest your own! | <urn:uuid:aeb510e2-88b1-4d21-b6da-8c0e45fc1c97> | CC-MAIN-2021-04 | https://www.flavorwire.com/261724/a-selection-of-essential-and-alternative-landscape-photographers | 2021-01-17T09:10:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-04/segments/1610703511903.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20210117081748-20210117111748-00491.warc.gz | en | 0.945256 | 915 |
“Humankind has not woven the web of life.
We are but one thread within it.
Whatever we do to that web, we do to ourselves.
All things are bound together. All things connect.”
~ Chief Seattle
For five years, as director of Laura’s Center for the Arts and the Arts & Education Department at the South Shore YMCA, I built and managed an annual budget of $250,000, supervising a team of 20 staff, volunteers, and interns in programming for all ages, identities, and abilities. In this role, I created strategic plans aligning our mission with the support of donors. I strengthened our presence in the community through partnerships with the following neighboring organizations:
I also led the strategic planning, creation, and implementation of the Digital Media Center with the goal of serving adults and individuals with diverse abilities and their families. I also developed strategies for bolstering the venue rental program, including creating and negotiating contracts, as well as providing onsite supervision, production support, event design, and vendor and client communications.
As co-executive director of the Riverside Theatre Works School and Performance Center, I revitalized the organization's vision and brand. I designed the production season and restructured the training program for theatre, dance, and vocal performance.
As director and instructor at Westwood Recreation Center, I created and established a year round musical theatre program for youth and the vacation and summer camp season that served over 200 youth annually. I created and led a visual arts program for youth and adults in watercolor and mixed media.
For eight years, I served as an arts ambassador to the Da Vinci Foundation where I developed strategic plans based on my experience as an arts educator and curriculum developer. And as a delegate to 1791 Delegates, I currently develop curricula and strategic plans to educate the public about the moral issues of our time.
Seeing the untapped potential of children and youth at ArtsCamp, the summer camp program at Laura’s Center for the Arts, I utilized my entrepreneurial skills to grow the program steadily from 11 summer camps to 26 camps over the course of four years. I expanded the programs and staffing to include theatre design & technology (scenic, costume, and prop design), culinary arts, digital media arts (film & photography), and literary arts, to build upon the existing musical theatre and visual arts programming.
In seeking to establish arts programming at Westwood Recreation Department, I developed from scratch a new musical theatre and creative dramatics program for youth ages 5 to 16. Programming increased to include summer camps in the arts, and I continued to adapt children’s literature into new musicals and led the rehearsal, production, and design process. I also created and implemented a new apprenticeship program for youth seeking community service and teaching experience. I supervised and evaluated these counselors-in-training as well as created a year-long curriculum for their professional development.
I was invited by the Publick Theatre's artistic and business team to create, develop, and execute The Young Company, an educational arm to the professional summer theatre company. As the director of education for the Publick Theatre I communicated with various community partners, families, schools, and organizations to devise a mentoring program for teens in classical outdoor Shakespearean performance.
As co-artistic director and founding member of The Other Theatre, an experimental theatre company, we created three seasons of original work as well as reimagined interpretations of Shakespeare and other classics.
In direct response to recurring violence in Boston, I devised a new curriculum called Youth in Action to facilitate a conversation with the Haitian community in Mattapan and Dorchester. I worked with teen victims to create original work that represented their experiences of gang violence. We toured Boston communities promoting non-violence with youth audiences.
As co-executive director of Riverside Theatre Works, I wrote and directed three original musicals. This increased the visibility and engagement of the company as well as provided a new wave of performers the opportunity to serve the Boston community.
For five years as director of the Laura’s Center for the Arts and Arts & Education Department at the South Shore YMCA, I created from scratch a distinct branding and communication plan for the center’s artistic and rental programs. I also designed and managed the digital marquee and the social media for the center and oversaw the internal communications.
For eight years as the administrative assistant for the Department of Performing Arts at Emerson College, I served as the communication liaison with all departments within the College, prospective students and parents, external clients and guest artists. I generated daily, weekly, and monthly e-newsletters on behalf of the Department Chair that was distributed to 600 undergraduate and graduate students, 125 faculty, and 12 staff. I managed the year round execution of space requests and events as well as oversaw the production of various departmental publications. I served as the facilitator and contact with candidates for faculty and staff searches.
For five years as community relations coordinator at the Boch Center-Wang Theatre, I served as the liaison to the following cultural partners: Boston Children’s Museum, the Museum of Science, the New England Aquarium, Zoo New England, and the Museum of Fine Arts. I also oversaw and implemented an outreach program for the Shubert Theatre and Wang Theatres by engaging local community partners, such as Boys and Girls Clubs, AIDS Action, YMCAs, and Saint Francis House.
As director of education for Art Inspires Me, formerly Broadway Experience, I currently ensure that the marketing and design aligns with the mission of the organization.
Throughout my twenty-five years of providing direction to various organizations, I worked with diverse stakeholders to achieve goals we could not have done alone. This required me to raise new funds, maintain relationships with existing donors, and to diversify our revenue streams. For example, I built and managed an annual budget of $250,000 at Laura’s Center for the Arts and worked with the development office at the YMCA to expand the donor pool to programmatic stakeholders. I managed a $100,000 grant by Mellon Bank awarded to the Wang Center for the Teen Ambassador Program that I conceptualized and implemented. As co-artistic director and founding member of The Other Theatre, I organized income-generating events. In all these roles, I prepared donor reports to measure the impact of the programs I directed. I am confident each individual's investment contributed to the legacy we were all responsible in preserving.
One of the constant roles that I have played throughout the organizations that I have served has been as an asset manager. Meaning, I lead teams to preserve and tend to the facilities that housed us and always left the space better than we found it. For example, as director of Laura’s Center for the Arts, I was responsible for daily operations, accessibility, safety, and management of the state-0f-the-art performance venue, the outdoor amphitheater, the arts gallery, the Digital Media Center, and the studio and rehearsal spaces. In managing the facilities and grounds, I was responsible for the safety and care of the theatrical equipment, such as the audio, lighting, and rigging inventory. I created the strategic plan and acted as the project manager for capital improvements including the oversight of the installation of the Digital Media Center, the professional dance floor throughout the facility, and stage. As co-executive director of Riverside Theatre Works I was instrumental in revitalizing and preserving facilities at French’s Opera House to support the events, productions, and training programs.
I am passionate about building purpose-driven teams. In utilizing my expertise as a strategist, catalyst, and a steward of organizations, I help individuals understand how their unique gifts contribute to the larger whole. For instance, for twenty-five years I have led production teams consisting of highly skilled professionals, volunteers, and students to achieve specific goals and to meet challenging timetables. I am known for ensuring that every individual’s skills and talents are honored and valued. As a facilitator, I tend to the group’s communications and create a mood that is inspired and engaging. I have learned that my primary goal is to create a healthy environment in which people of all ages, identities, and abilities can thrive.
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion are core values that motivate me as a leader. I am committed to creating new opportunities for people from historically marginalized groups. In all of my programming, I am committed to creating inclusive, multicultural spaces whereby all people experience first-hand the transformational power of community. I am known for creating an impenetrable fabric of trust to provide historically marginalized groups a space where people of all ages, identities, and abilities know they can be heard, that they matter, and that they belong.
I take seriously my role as a mentor of young leaders for the simple fact that I have been the recipient of unconditional support from my own mother and countless mentors. In caring for now two generations of young people, I have learned that my character is my greatest influence on them, just as my mentors have left a lasting impact on me with their kindness, resilience, and strength. As an arts educator, I am deeply committed to embodying the belief that every encounter, big and small, is a teachable moment whereby we as individuals and as a collective grow as artists and as human beings.

Just a short while ago, the album 'Trip' was released, which this new Jhene Aiko merchandise coincides with. In addition, the artist unveiled a short film that speaks to the themes of the album.
In order to reflect the album's name, the Jhene Aiko merchandise is full of psychedelic visuals and vivid colorways that give its wearer a modern hippie vibe. Included in the collection are a number of shirts and pullover hoodies, as well as a lighter. The majority of the apparel is white or black, with bright artwork featured at the center for contrast. One fluorescent yellow hoodie is an exception to this, which boasts hypnotic pink and green patterns.
All of the pieces are available from the artist's website, where prices range from $10 to $55 USD. | <urn:uuid:7bb72f9e-afca-431e-a336-8770036f224a> | CC-MAIN-2021-21 | https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jhene-aiko-merch | 2021-05-12T08:31:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-21/segments/1620243991685.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20210512070028-20210512100028-00192.warc.gz | en | 0.952264 | 164 |
As victims, we become hyper-vigilant, and also notice things like phone numbers still in use. This victim has set up a web site looking for others being contacted via the same phone number +61 488159797, concerned that they might also be caught in a scam. Read her full shocking story here. Contact her directly if you have any information to share.
This victim also sought to do some due diligence by getting a private investigation company to look into a potential partner she met on RSVP, only to find later that her interactions with this company were hacked and intercepted, with false positive responses about her scammer provided to her in reply. This encouraged her to believe the information provided by the scammer was true. She later watched as all of the email folders of the interactions with her scammer disappear before her eyes, unable to be retrieved even by Microsoft. Scammers it seems are becoming more skilled, adding hacking to their skill of emotional manipulation, lying convincingly, and resisting interference from well-meaning others.
Even Personal Investigators are not immune to hackers. They are “even posing as Cybersecurity now” say eVestigator ® Simon Smith, and attacking those that are trying to put a stop to scammers. Its easy enough to troll and discredit people who are trying to prosecute scammers. He has himself experienced this.
I am regularly contacted by people from around the world who have a friend or family member being scammed. “What can be done to make them realise they are being scammed”, they ask me. I have no magic bullets to help.
I myself did not respond to warnings that friends gave me when I was in the midst of being scammed. We are entranced, enthralled, trusting and believing our scammer, and the dream that they have offered us, no-matter how many red flags are visible to others. We don’t accept that the warnings relate to our own special and strong relationship with our fiancé/scammer. We don’t believe a scammer could build a relationship so intimate. And we become so financially invested that it is difficult to face the prospect that we might lose it all. These two aspects are what keeps us there in the (fake) relationship. Unfortunately, by staying, we may give, loan, and so lose even more money. Check out my upcoming book to read my own full story in detail. A pre-order discount is available.
The financial losses are individually huge as people are encourage to take huge loans that they have no capacity to repay, and cumulative totals in Australia and around the world are growing to staggering amounts. How can we stop this scourge? I feel helpless in the face of it. All I can do is write this blog and talk to victims… ScamWatch provides the following on Helping a Family Member, but does not provide any more help than I can for how to get through to a family member embedded and engulfed in a scam.
Some protections that everyone should take, especially those who know they have been scammed:
- Change phone numbers and emails, blocking known scammers
- Copy all materials you wish to keep including emails onto external media such as USB drive
- Change passwords regularly using high strength passwords, and where available, use 2 step authorisation
- Install good virus protection on all devices
- When setting up new social media accounts, review and select security settings that protect you and your friends. Use made up names.
- Be wary of any unsolicited contacts, especially those that might offer help with finding or prosecuting your scammer. There are numerous ‘secondary scams’ that perpetrators will use in an attempt to get even more money.
- Be wary of survey requests – they can be phishing for personal id or lifestyle information
- Don’t open unsolicited emails
- Keep yourself educated: Sign up to scam alerts such as ScamWatch Radar by ScamWatch to stay abreast of the types of scams or computer vulnerabilities that have been recently experienced and reported. This includes types of unsolicited emails being used.
- And more recently, though not ‘romance based’, be very wary of phone calls from people pretending to be from well-known businesses and government departments trying to con unsuspecting victims out of their personal information and money. | <urn:uuid:6565f99e-1e5c-44b7-867f-db2cdb0842eb> | CC-MAIN-2017-51 | http://romancescamsurvivor.org/2017/11/scammers-active-and-now-hacking/ | 2017-12-13T05:01:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-51/segments/1512948521292.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20171213045921-20171213065921-00775.warc.gz | en | 0.969385 | 890 |
Year 10 and 12 students from Felpham Community College experienced an inspirational day in London yesterday.
They attended the national WE event, held in Wembley Arena.
WE is an organisation and charity aimed at inspiring people to work together to make change. Their mission is to work with developing communities to free children and their families from poverty and exploitation, with the vision expanded to include empowering young people at home, connecting them with global issues and social causes, and partnering with schools to inspire young change-makers from within the classroom.
WE day is an international event held in London and across venues in America, bringing together world-renowned speakers and performers with millions of young people and families to celebrate and inspire. This year, speakers included Kate Winslet and Bruce Dickinson (from rock band Iron Maiden) with performances from Jessie J and Conor Maynard.
Shannon Noble, a Year 12 student, said: “The day was excellent. All the speakers were brilliant, I especially liked Kate Winslet as she spoke about her acting career and how she has used this to make a difference. I am in the FCC charity committee and this has definitely inspired me to do more and to think outside the box on what I can achieve!”
Nicole Matthews, curriculum leader of music, said: “It was an amazing day, really inspiring. The main message was that everyone can make a difference to our community, whether on a local or global scale. All the speakers gave really motivational speeches and the students could relate to both the speakers and the performers. It was great to be invited to attend.”

Under siege…and out of control!
The Armor Hunters have decimated a major metropolis, and the battle to save the survivors still rages. In the midst of the devastation, the volatile team of Harbinger Foundation escapees called Generation Zero are about to stumble headlong into an insidious alien counteroffensive – one with the potential to bring down not just a city, but the entire world. When push comes to shove, can this group of immensely powerful, immensely temperamental teenagers be trusted to repel the Armor Hunters’ second wave? Absolutely not…but they’re the only chance we’ve got! | <urn:uuid:bfec8251-20c9-402b-8db8-daaa84fb7c05> | CC-MAIN-2017-09 | http://www.cbr.com/armor-hunters-harbinger-2/ | 2017-02-23T15:05:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-09/segments/1487501171171.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20170219104611-00089-ip-10-171-10-108.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.85543 | 128 |

A crushed AA battery lay on the road near Erwin Swetnam’s feet Monday.
It was hardly surprising, given that Swetnam stood just inside the gate of Hood River Garbage Service transfer station, a facility he manages.
But by this summer, batteries won’t have to go into the garbage anymore, or wind up ground up in the gravel.
Paint, chemicals, solvents and other harmful substances can be safely disposed of in the new Household Hazardous Waste Facility, now being installed at the transfer station.
The first collection date is tentatively scheduled for July 8, according to recycling coordinator Cissy Ramos.
“The household hazardous waste site is going to accommodate things that are toxic or need special handling such as paints — lead-based — and pesticides, and cadmium batteries A, B, C, and D, cell batteries,” Ramos said.
Swetnam, Ramos and other transfer station staff watched as Cherokee General Contractors of Portland and Honald Crane Service of The Dalles lifted the 15,000-pound waste storage unit, a three-section modular structure designed to storehouse chemicals until they can be safely packaged and transported to incineration, recycling or other disposal. It has been paid for over the past three years by a 45-cent surcharge on every 32-gallon can of garbage brought to the transfer station. The facility was built in Los Angeles by Environmental Compliance Products.
“It’s a turnkey waste storage facility,” said Mark Ressler, Cherokee project engineer.
“This definitely adds a new wrinkle to all that we do out here,” said Swetnam of the household waste facility’s placement inside the gated compound where area residents bring garbage as well as recyclable paper, glass, cardboard, aluminum and tin cans, scrap metal, yard waste, and other products.
Next to the transfer station shed rests the recently-added drop station for reusable building materials, the Garbage Service’s new partnership with the nonprofit Gorge Rebuild-It Center.
The household waste facility is located just inside the gate of the transfer station. It will be put to use roughly six times a year in publicized “household hazardous waste events” coordinated through Hood River County and the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality, offered free of charge, according to Swetnam. Such events have been held in Hood River County periodically, but the $300,000 waste station gives the community a permanent location for the service.
“It's going to be really a nice service to the county having this facility here,” Swetnam said. He noted, however, that latex paint is not among the household waste products that will be accepted at the facility. How, then, to dispose of it?
“Paint, and repaint,” he said. “Donate it, or open the can and let it dry out.” Then, toss out the can.
Swetnam said that the community can now start storing up household hazardous wastes, aside from the latex, assured of a place to safely dispose of it. When the facility goes into use, the three bright quadrants labeling each section will be color-coded to signify which types of substances can be stored together in each compartment. | <urn:uuid:0bb553ff-413a-4c9f-84ee-2bd636866d0b> | CC-MAIN-2015-32 | http://m.hoodrivernews.com/news/2006/may/30/household-hazardous-waste-finds-a-home/?templates=mobile | 2015-08-05T09:26:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-32/segments/1438043062723.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20150728002422-00129-ip-10-236-191-2.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.952279 | 711 |

I want YOU to want ME.
That’s a great song by the band Cheap Trick. It’s also the source of so much misery I can hardly believe it. Those words may be the source of anything that’s wrong with us as a society.
Ok. I might be exaggerating a little, I’m also serious.
See this week’s episode gets its start from the qualities behind the word, Al Mu’izz, and I’m using a translation of that word that means something like “giver of praise or self-esteem.” It’s one of the 99 names of the divine and it’s talking about a quality of G-d that gives us self-esteem.
If you’re new to this series, you may not know that I never make assumptions about what you believe – or If a belief in a God has any part of what keeps you going.
Whatever you believe, where does your assurance and comfort and self-esteem come from? Have you always felt confident and assured from as far back as you can remember?
Are you a compulsive pleaser—needing to be liked at almost any cost?
Are you defensive and guarded—just sure that people will hurt you if you give them a chance?
Think about where those parts of your personality come from—where they got their start. It’s possible you were just born lonely, or confident, or whatever. And it’s also possible that part of this is a sort of programming, from your earliest time in this life.
Maybe it was a mother figure, although not everyone has one of those. Maybe it was a group that made you feel secure and loved. Maybe your religion or spirituality is such that you can feel the love of a god.
I’m convinced that we’re all just searching for someone to love us. Now sure, that may be overgeneralizing just a little, but think about it – this seeking of external validation -could explain a LOT.
It could have something to do with a divorce rate that seems so high. If two people decide to marry young, before they’re fully figured out who they are, there’s a good chance that at least one of them will be seeking approval and love and validation from someone other than themselves. This might be fine if it’s not the *only* source of love and validation, but what if it *is*?
It could have something to do with the rate of addiction we face: Drugs, alcohol, social media, food, sex, video games, religion — all are things that can provide pleasure. If our relationships with these things are healthy, they can be part of an overall picture that works.
What about when we use them to make up for something that’s missing, though? What about when we feel out of balance though? When there’s something missing – like a giant hole in us that we can’t seem to fill, no matter what we put in it?
For me, it was – and is – an addiction to work. I used to work 70 or 80 hours a week, moving up the corporate ladder. I learned that I could be successful in that environment, and the rewards felt good. Money, recognition, promotions, nice cars, a big house, and the trappings of success.
At some point, though, I recognized that I was out of balance. Instead of being my own source of self-worth, I found ways to be useful enough to *other* people, that they would then tell me how great I was, or how nice, or how smart, etc.
I eventually figured out, though, that this was just a way of distracting myself from the uncomfortable truth. I didn’t know how to love myself – how to find a wellspring of worth, and hope, and value INSIDE me. I never knew that there was a way to find a deeper and inexhaustible supply of love and praise that was always there – and I could access whenever I wanted!
Now don’t get me wrong- I don’t suggest you quit your perfectly good job and sell all your belongings and set out on a pilgrimage of the soul like I did five years ago.
In fact, I’d recommend against it. While I wouldn’t trade this experience for anything, I can tell you that the answer I was looking for all this time was right there all along.
Also – it’s not as if I have life all figured out… Hot Mess is my middle name. But I’m learning how to be okay with hot mess – in fact, I’m learning to LOVE it… because it’s MY hot mess, and I’m learning to love ME.
Have you found the source of your own strength and courage? – the one that you carry with you and that never runs out?
Are you still in search of it?
Or maybe you haven’t even thought about it until now.
Whatever the case, remember – we humans are meant to be in
If that’s the case, I send you comfort.
But you can send you comfort too. In unlimited amounts, any time you wish. You just need to find the keys to that castle inside you. | <urn:uuid:e9f5cfbb-d440-467f-b9b6-7187d0a95a0d> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://prolificate.com/how-to-never-run-out-of-love/ | 2020-09-20T21:15:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400198652.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920192131-20200920222131-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.96777 | 1,122 |

Redditgifts is a giant online gift exchange that started connecting people around the world with one another via the internet in 2009. They typically do different types of secret santa gifts exchanges throughout the year, but for the past four years, they have conducted a teacher exchange. The goal of the exchange is to help alleviate the financial pressure from the educators and help create a better learning environment through these donated classroom supplies. In last year’s teacher exchange alone, $613,304.05 worth of classroom supplies were donated to educators across the globe.
How it works is that a person in the redditgifts community will get matched up with an educator who signed up for the exchange and on August 24th he/she will donate classroom supplies that the educator requested. If you want to receive classroom supplies, all you have to do is sign-up on redditgifts.com (it’s free), type in the classroom supplies that you desperately need, and the redditgifts community will donate (if all goes according to plan)! If you want to donate classroom supplies instead of receiving, you can do that as well on the same webpage. You have until August 24th to sign up. The only thing that they ask for is to thank your secret santa when you receive your supplies by taking pictures and posting it in the redditgifts gallery. There will be e-mails throughout this whole process that will break it down step-by-step.
This will be my third year participating and I can vouch for this exchange. When I donated supplies to a third grade classroom back in 2013, I received individual thank you cards from the students and the teacher. Even if you donate a few crayons or glue sticks, it will make the teacher’s life just that much better and easier.

Dispatch.com regularly will post letters to the editor that don't make it to print in The Dispatch. Unlike letters to the editor that appear in the newspaper, Web-only letters have not been edited.
In response to the Dispatch’s March 24 cartoon titled “What the Millennials are facing!,” the School Employees Retirement System of Ohio (SERS) would like to assure Ohio’s students and taxpayers that state pension liabilities are solely the responsibility of Ohio’s pension systems.
Ohio’s state pension systems are different from most other state pension systems because employers and public employees share responsibility for the funding of pensions. Contribution rates for both are capped by state law.
These caps make contributions predictable for employers and employees, and force Ohio’s pension systems to manage pension obligations on a budget. Ohio’s pension systems manage liabilities (by making changes to age and service requirements, cost-of-living increases, etc.) according to how much is received in contributions and investment income. Once the employer makes its pension contribution to SERS, their pension obligation is fulfilled; they are not responsible for any remaining pension liabilities.
Ohio’s public pension funding model is one of the best in the nation. It protects employers and employees from contribution increases without legislation, and ensures that the pension systems manage funding responsibly.
Ohio Millennials and taxpayers should rest assured that state pension liabilities are the pension systems’ responsibility and that those liabilities are being managed prudently.

I like the section in the Columbus Dispatch called the daily almanac.It offers stories both good and bad and lends a concise history of world events.The Monday March 17th issue was disgusting.Do we really need to be reminded of the one year anniversary of the "celebrated" Steubenville Ohio high school football players found guilty of raping a "drunken" 16 year old girl ? Must we wait four more years to be reminded of its five year anniversary ? It's a sad story and one must wonder why so many other rapists don't make the news.Are the non- football playing rapists just average Joes, who don't engage in the glorified violence of football not worthy?Enough is enough.

"Prosecutor wants to try boy,14 as adult" Really! Does Prosecutor Mark Kuhn, have a lack of adults to try in a court of law that he seeks to prosecute children? We have been doing this for over 50 years and as far as I can see it hasn't reduced serious crimes committed by juveniles. On one hand we want to protect "children" from buying cigarettes and alcohol, truancy and child trafficking etc. at least until they are 21. Most people are not considered adults until 21 years of age. Science concludes that the brain is not fully developed until about the age of 25. When you prosecute a child of 12/14/17 years of age as an adult; find them guilty of aggravated murder, they will spend at least a minimum of 20 to 30 years behind bars in "adult" prisons, with adult long term harden criminals. Then you release them to what? Shame on us, as a society that allows this to happen. Shouldn't we be looking in to why a child of this age commits serious crimes, including murder in the first place. Shouldn't we find a better solution of how to handle a child in a more humane way then to sentence the child to a life some consider above and beyond usual punishment? Or, are we just a vengeful society that takes pleasure in maximum punishment at any age?

Concern over airplane
The recent disappearance of the Malaysia airplane has the world and the news casters in a state of continual confusion and mystery. I wonder why this country is so involved in the search and rescue operation. From what I see on the news, there is one American on board. The airplane is not American airlines owned Why is the United States involved in the search and rescue? This country is spending millions of dollars or more, and so far, no apparent results. Most of the passengers are Chinese. Why are we doing the work that the Malaysian and Chinese government should be doing? With most of the passengers being Chinese, the Chinese government should be searching and bear the expense. We seem to be the care takers of the world and are always sticking our noses into other countries business. It would be different if the Chinese were our friends and cooperating with us. China is a communist country and supports rogue nations in the world that are determined to destroy the United States.

Sunday’s editorial, "License to plunder", is further proof that the First Amendment gives newspaper editorial boards a license to blunder. The editorial makes the unfounded assertion that township government is “designed for rural and lightly populated areas.” Where does it say that in the Ohio Revised Code? Don’t tell that to the residents of Mifflin, Jefferson, Prairie, Hamilton, Madison, Genoa, Orange, Violet and the hundreds of other townships in Ohio effectively serving large populations. Virtually all of Ohio’s population growth from the period of 2000 to 2010 occurred in townships. Ohioans are voting with their feet. Of course, Ohio law would allow the residents of a township to vote to make themselves a city but it seldom happens, because township residents prefer a low tax, less regulated environment. According to the Cox Report, townships account for just 2.7% of local government spending in Ohio; cities and villages account for 21.3% of that spending. Townships spend 70% less than cities on wages and benefits. Townships’ median expenditures are 1/3 that of cities and villages. Ohio cities taxes average $700 per capita; townships average $200 per capita. Ohio cities spend $152 per capita for fire protection; townships spend $87. Is it any wonder people are moving to townships?
The editorial specifically criticizes joint economic development zones or JEDZs. JEDZs are a perfect example of shared services, which the Dispatch frequently touts. Why do collaborating local governments need to be contiguous? Back office operations are frequently cited as a service that can be shared to save money. That is precisely what happens when a city administers revenue collection for a township in a JEDZ. Why do they have to be adjoining to share this type of back office operation?
Since the enactment of Prairie Township’s zone in January 2012, the township has provided enhanced law enforcement protection through the Franklin County Sheriff. The Township has used revenue to secure loans to remove a derelict hotel, reroute a road to improve access to a major big box retailer and to begin construction on a community recreation center, which will provide a community venue for major employers to do programming. Funds have been used to plan for a streetscape project for West Broad, which will be put in place along with an ODOT overhaul of the thoroughfare. The Prairie Community Improvement Corporation, which has representatives of three major JEDZ employers, is making plans to use JEDZ revenue to provide incentives to businesses and residents so that they consider making private investments that will build on the public investments currently being made.
This is not a “tax grab.” Townships do provide non-residents who work there not only a place to work, but a safe environment and responsive township government. When the JEDD and JEDZ laws were created, this was taken into account to permit the levying and sharing of income tax revenue in these limited jurisdictions.

Ohio needs to be the best state to raise healthy families, where children prosper and where we avoid the needless and tragic deaths that occur all too often among newborns.
To that end and to help reduce our infant mortality rate, I have introduced a bill that will help educate parents about safe sleeping practices for infants. As the second leading cause of infant deaths, we can help hundreds of families avoid what are entirely preventable tragedies.
My bill(HB 448), co sponsored with Representative Stephanie Kunze, will direct the Ohio Department of Health to develop standards for safe-sleeping practices, and that information would then be shared with new parents at hospitals and birthing centers across the state. Studies have shown that education for parents on these safe practices will prevent deaths. This legislation is just a portion of the state’s focus on improving Ohio’s poor rank on infant mortality. Senators Charleta Tavares and Shannon Jones have additional pending legislation, along with Columbus Council President Ginther’s work with the Columbus Infant Mortality Task Force.
Ohioans deserve to live in a state that works hard to ensure our children are healthy. We should live in a state that has the lowest infant mortality rate in all of the country - not the fourth highest. This bill is a start!
I urge my colleagues in the Ohio General Assembly to support it.
Rep. Michael Stinziano, Columbus
The tax burden on Ohioans has not been continuously rising, as suspected by Sonny Cervone, who seems opposed to the tax levy for the zoo ("Another tax hike, another scare tactic," Wednesday).
The local and state tax burdens on Ohioans have been about the same for more than 35 years, ranging from 10.3% in the 1970's to 9.9% today, according to the archives of the Tax Foundation. Moreover, our federal tax burden, which includes taxes for social security and Medicare, has been level for about half a century. A reason the tax burden has risen for some individuals is because their incomes and wealth grew substantially over the past decades, compared to the rest of us.

About The E Pluribus Unum Prizes
Too often the debate over the need to reform US immigration laws leaves little room for issues of immigrant integration.
The E Pluribus Unum Prizes have been established to help others learn more about this important work and to honor the efforts of those who are creating stronger, more unified and successful communities by strengthening relationships between native-born and foreign-born Americans, and by helping immigrants and their children to succeed in the United States.
The J.M. Kaplan Fund is generously providing support for these awards in order to focus attention on successful integration initiatives and to inspire and provide program models to others around the United States who might also undertake such efforts.
The awards program is coordinated by the Migration Policy Institute's National Center on Immigrant Integration Policy (NCIIP) - a hub for groups and individuals around the United States who seek to build their knowledge and skills in the area of immigrant integration.
An Advisory Board of experts assists the NCIIP's staff in selecting Prize winners. The Advisory Board is comprised of experts in program evaluation and/or in immigrant integration and its various subfields.

The magazine was published 32 times a year, including every week of the NFL season, and issued four supplementary publications -- the Pro Football Weekly Preview, the Fantasy Football Guide, the Draft Preview, and the Pro Prospects Preview -- annually.

I still enjoyed it! And YAY for Matt for doing such a fantastic job!!
Our Lady of 121st Street by Stephen Adly Guirgis
Mourners have gathered at a Harlem funeral home to pay their respects
to a beloved and feared childhood teacher, Sister Rose. There’s only one
problem – someone’s stolen the body. In a series of sharp vignettes, old
and new friends reminisce about the past and face the reality of whom
they’ve become. As memories are unearthed, vivid shouting matches,
explosive rants and surprisingly touching moments of hope reveal a group
of broken souls and the rough, tumbled neighborhood that formed them.
Raw, gritty and rancorously funny, Our Lady of 121st Street is a deeply
human character study of people in an elusive search for redemption. | <urn:uuid:d368fe2e-9fb9-49f8-bad0-05118ac84fcf> | CC-MAIN-2018-09 | http://trishisarockstar.blogspot.com/2011/12/our-lady-of-121st-street.html | 2018-02-22T02:49:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-09/segments/1518891813883.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20180222022059-20180222042059-00640.warc.gz | en | 0.916189 | 178 |
The 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee is a handsome SUV that can fit in with just about any crowd. It accelerates and stops at rates that will impress even the most seasoned sports car driver. Off-road, the Jeep Grand Cherokee is at the top of the mountain for its class, writes TAJUDEEN ADEBANJO
Equipped with the base gasoline V6 engine, the 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee delivers satisfactory acceleration. It also provides a quiet, comfortable ride and a commendable sense of stability around turns. The eight-speed automatic transmission is a great ally, as it makes good use of the V6’s power and shifts very smoothly.All in all, most shoppers should be happy with the base-engine Grand Cherokee.
The Cherokee is a five-passenger midsize Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) that comes in five trim levels: Laredo, Limited, Overland, Summit and SRT. Each is available with rear-drive (2WD) or four-wheel drive (4WD) except the high-performance SRT model, which is 4WD only.
It gets a new shift lever that remains in the selected position, while the 3.6-liter gasoline V6 receives standard automatic stop-start technology along with variable valve timing and lift to incrementally improve fuel economy and horsepower. All trims except the SRT gets standard electric-assist power steering (with adjustable effort), and weight reductions across the line-ups come courtesy of additional aluminium suspension components. Finally, a new high altitude package debuts for the Overland, and the Grand Cherokee SRT gets a new gauge cluster (with a centre-mounted tachometer) and selectable performance modes.
Once a staple of the new-car market, the traditional midsize SUV has become something of an endangered specie in recent years. But the 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee is quite alive. Starting with rear-wheel drive, just like SUVs in the olden days, the Grand Cherokee offers no fewer than three four-wheel-drive systems, and it’s every bit a Jeep on tough trails when properly equipped. At the same time, its luxurious interior and smooth ride also make it quite suitable for everyday driving. It’s a combination that few other SUVs can match.
For a traditional midsize SUV, there are a couple other choices still around. The Toyota 4Runner, for example, promises excellent resale value and shares the Jeep’s off-road aptitude, though downsides include a back-to-basics interior and a single engine choice. If you want to class it up, the Volkswagen Touareg is a close match for the Jeep in terms of luxury features, and its cabin is arguably even nicer. However, its optional diesel engine is on hiatus for 2016, and it’s not the serious off-roader that the Grand Cherokee can be. Shoppers interested in a third seating row should check out the Dodge Durango, which uses a stretched version of the JGC’s platform and shares much of its equipment. But if you like the idea of a five-passenger SUV that can pretty much do it all, the 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee is a great choice.
The Grand Cherokee offers four various engines, giving shoppers an unusual degree of choice.
Rear-wheel drive is standard on non-SRT Grand Cherokees, but these models also offer three available 4WD systems: the single-speed, light-duty Quadra-Trac I system (Laredo only), Quadra-Trac II with a two-speed transfer case (Laredo, Limited, Overland and Summit) and Quadra-Drive II with a rear electronic limited-slip differential (Limited, Overland and Summit). An adaptive air suspension (Quadra-Lift) and a driver-selectable traction control system that adjusts to different terrain are also available (optional on 4WD Limited, standard on 4WD Overland and Summit).
The Grand Cherokee SRT comes with a specialised all-wheel-drive system tuned more for high-performance driving than off-road use.
The Jeep has antilock disc brakes, stability and traction control, hill start assist, hill descent control (4WD only; optional on Laredo and standard on the others), front side airbags, side curtain airbags and active front head restraints. A rearview camera is standard from the Limited trim on up, as are rear parking sensors, while front parking sensors come standard on the summit.
Additional safety technologies are available via the Advanced Technology Group option package that includes blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert and a forward collision warning mitigation system with automatic braking.
In Edmunds brake testing, a diesel 4WD Jeep Grand Cherokee stopped from 60 mph in 121 feet, a respectable distance for this class, while a 4WD Grand Cherokee with the gasoline V6 needed 133 feet, which is longer than average.
Interior design and special features
Even in the lower trim levels, the Jeep interior boasts impressive fit and finish. The optional 8.4-inch touchscreen is amazing. It features an easy-to-use interface and includes a WiFi hotspot and smartphone app integration, also housing the navigation system if the vehicle is so equipped. Sometimes it takes a few too many touch inputs to make climate control adjustments through the touchscreen, but apart from that minor complaint, the Grand Cherokee has one of the most user-friendly cabins in this class.
The available dual-pane panoramic sunroof gives the jeep an airy, premium vibe inside.
While the jeep has no third-row seat option, there’s ample room for a family of four or five, and you can order up a wide variety of luxury accoutrements, including ventilated front seats and a dual-screen, Blu-ray-capable rear entertainment system with an HDMI input. Backseat passengers should be pretty comfortable; as the Grand Cherokee provides enough space for two adults to relax (the centre position is compromised by the prominent driveline “hump” on the floor). With the rear seats in place, the cargo bay measures 36.3 cubic feet. With the rear seats folded down, the Jeep has 68.3 cubic feet of cargo capacity. | <urn:uuid:05677880-ea33-428d-a5e1-acec8ffee2d3> | CC-MAIN-2017-51 | http://thenationonlineng.net/grand-cherokee-quiet-luxury-interior-3/ | 2017-12-15T03:06:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-51/segments/1512948563083.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20171215021156-20171215041156-00643.warc.gz | en | 0.914234 | 1,297 |
Instagram is a really reliable system for advertising as well as for individual usage. Every brand name that intends to achieve success need to exist. Whether you’re advertising on your own or a service, that’s inadequate. You need to get involved to be prominent. What is the great interaction price on Instagram as well as exactly how can you enhance your own?
Instagram interaction is thought about ‘like’, remark, remark or component of an Instagram blog post or tale. It determines the portion of your target market that is proactively replying to your material. As an authority, he will certainly reveal you which kinds of material execute much better as well as which do not. You can after that improve, boost or expand your Instagram blog post to match your objectives.
If you intend to bring in or end up being an online marketer on social networks, interaction prices will certainly be made use of as a benchmark to identify conformity. If you have the appropriate degrees of interaction with specific kinds of material that fit the customer, you are more probable to obtain the task. If you do not, you will certainly not.
What is the great interaction price on Instagram?
Social media site advertising is everything about numbers. This is the simplest component to supply material on your system. Evaluation, improvement as well as adjustment are an uphill struggle. So, what matters as an excellent interaction price?
- A dedication price of 5% or even more is thought about excellent.
- A dedication price of 3-5% is thought about great.
- A dedication price of 1-3% is thought about standard.
- An engagement price of much less than 1.5% is thought about poor.
These percents are transforming as well as some marketing professionals are utilizing 6% interaction as a great market, however I believe 5% is a lot more attainable as well as a lot more practical, as well as currently the target market is ending up being a lot more particular concerning the material they are interacting with.
If you are marketing on Instagram or intend to end up being a lot more prominent, 1% to 3% is great. You will certainly intend to enhance it as you improve at producing material as well as supplying what your target market is searching for, however this is an excellent location to begin.
If you contrast this to the typical interaction price on Facebook and twitter as much as 1%, you can see that Instagram individuals are a lot more ready to take an energetic component. That’s why many brand names desire a social media sites existence.
Determine your interaction price on Instagram
Since you recognize what an excellent interaction price on Instagram appears like, exactly how do you specify your own? There’s mathematics entailed, however it’s in fact rather easy. Everybody utilizes the very same computation, so the outcomes must be global.
- Count the variety of remarks, suches as, as well as messages per blog post.
- Split this number by the variety of customers.
- Multiply this number by 100 to obtain the portion.
As an example, you have 25,000 customers as well as 350 remarks or choices. The mathematics will certainly be 350/25000 x 100 = 1.4%. This is a fairly reduced degree of participation in the total plan of points, however shows the maths associated with its computation.
You need to do this for each and every blog post, or you can utilize mathematics to determine regular monthly task as opposed to blog post. All you need to do is count the variety of messages monthly, include all jobs for all messages, split the variety of messages by the variety of messages as well as proceed the computation over.
As an example, 30 magazines monthly with a total amount of 10,050 remarks are dispersed to 25,000 customers. 10,050/ 30/25000 x 100 = 1.4%. Once again, a reduced rating, however reveals computation.
Communication versus reach
In social networks advertising, interaction is much more crucial than success. This indicates that the interaction price is a lot more crucial than the variety of fans on Instagram. Nevertheless, it does not make good sense to have 200,000 customers if you utilize much less than 1%.
It would certainly be far better to lower the number as well as personalize your material to bring in as well as develop 2,000 customers by 5% much better. Not just does this provide you even more cash, however every person you intend to work with to do social networks advertising themselves is taking a look at interaction, not fans.
Preferably, you will certainly desire both if you intend to end up being a prominent individual. Nonetheless, it would certainly be far better to begin little with a high degree of participation than a reduced, reduced degree of participation. If everything boils down to this, it’s much better to socialize a great deal with a couple of good friends than with a great deal of good friends. Not just does this make you a much better marketing expert, however it likewise makes the task a lot more delightful! | <urn:uuid:1f23177b-bf05-4e87-856f-42f1f6ead399> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://hxtool-app.com/what-is-the-good-engagement-rate-on-instagram/ | 2023-09-22T00:45:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506320.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922002008-20230922032008-00002.warc.gz | en | 0.962834 | 1,043 |

As much as I love my Nintendo Switch, the entire system has one super-stupid design flaw: The only charging port is on the bottom of the device. One of the primary features of the Switch is your ability to remove both controllers, extend the build-in kickstand, and play Mario Kart two player until the cows come home. I typically play my Switch in portable mode, so I’m regularly thrashing the battery by myself. In the situations I’ve been in where someone wants to play two player, I’m often way below 50% battery before we even get started.
By myself, this is no problem as I carry this USB-C battery with me which extends my play time through … well, more than enough for an entire day. When I’m playing by myself, it’s super simple to just plug a USB-C cable in the bottom and keep on going. Two player, with the kickstand? I’ve had to get real creative with making stands out of plastic cups and other dumb things until I discovered the HORI Compact Playstand. Originally, I just picked one up because it solved this silly problem, but in actually using it I’ve found that the adjustable angles puts the Switch at a way more comfortable viewing angle for two people to play something.
For the above reasons, the HORI Compact Playstand basically lives in my backpack, but on a recent flight I discovered another great use for it- I don’t know if I’m beginning to get some sort of carpal tunnel or if this is just a side effect of how absurdly uncomfortable economy air travel is, but the posture I need to sit at to hold my Switch on planes gets super annoying for long flights out to the west coast. I figured, “I’ll just take the joycons off and use the kickstand." Problem there is the Switch is held at such a severe angle that you really just can’t see it. With the HORI Compact Playstand, you can open it up all the way and have it at a real shallow angle which creates the perfect economy seat tray table viewing angle.
Semi-recently Amazon has also released the AmazonBasics Playstand for Nintendo Switch which looks slightly different and appears to have identical functionality for (as of this writing) a buck less. Given the supremely minimal price discrepancy, I’d say just pick up the HORI Compact Playstand. It’s made by HORI who have been making video game accessories for years, and it’s officially licensed by Nintendo. It’s got the Nintendo Switch logo on it too. Whether or not those things are worth a extra dollar is entirely up to you- but either of these are really good Switch accessories that honestly probably should have just came bundled in the box.

We’re very fond of birds here at SS. In fact we’re RSPB members – and every now and then we get our choughs in a twist about a reported sighting of a parakeet, waxwing or peregrine falcon in Liverpool.
We’re also big fans of the city’s Anglican Cathedral – that vast gothic revival spaceship that sits at the northern edge of the city. We’ve been up there recently to abseil down from the West Door and to watch the sun go down from the tower (you can do both too – check out the Cathedral’s website for more details).
But we can just as often be found in St Jame’s Gardens – the sunken graveyard and one of Liverpool city centre’s more unusual green spaces situated below the cathedral on the Gambier Terrace side. There’s always plenty of events going on at the Cathedral, and it’s to the credit of those in charge that visitors can partake in a vast array of events a this versatile city space.
Take this weekend for example; the RSPB Liverpool Local Group is celebrating 40 years with a talk from local birder Jeff Clarke atop the Cathedral tower, who will be pointing out the swallows, martins and swifts as they make their journey down the Mersey estuary on their way South for the Winter.
If you don’t have a head for heights there are also guided walks around St James’ Gardens; a haven for woodland birds in the heart of the city and a fascinating place in its own right.
What else? Well, local artists will be on hand to help little ‘uns create avine artworks to take home. The Cathedral also has two eateries if you’re feeling, ahem, peckish. Meanwhile the Cathedral’s 2012 Photography Competition Exhibition kicks off on the same day.
Finally, if you like what you see from the top of the tower you can head up again for the last Twilight Tower of the year on 4 October; watching the sun go down over Liverpool as Winter draws near.

How to Download Best Music
Music can be that interesting to you. Besides serving purposes of refreshing minds and entertainment, music can help you to learn absolute morals in the contemporaries. Downloading music will be the first step to getting the music you desire to have. If you have a passion for music, you will find it easy to have the application that can help you download the music you want. Finding a way to download music can be hard if you are not well versed in the applications used. The following are the factors to consider when downloading music.
First, you have to consider the quality of the music. Music can be recorded differently all over the world. The music you choose should be flavored. If the quality of music is not high in most cases, you will not enjoy it. For you to choose appropriately get an advisor on the musical conditions that are needed. Most likely, you can find a site that will guide you on the music to download. Avoid music that will be of low quality in many aspects as they will not fit you.
Secondly, you have to consider the safety of the site you download the music from. Many problems can infect the gadgets you are using for music download if the place is not safe. Many websites are available for you to download the music of your desire. It can be hard for you to know if the area is secure though if you are not an active music downloader. You can listen to what people say in sections for you to choose the best and most reliable place in downloading music. The reputation of the site will guide you effectively on this aspect. In most cases, the sites that are rated as positive will be offering safe music. The site should leave your gadgets as safe as you used them when downloading the music.
The size of the music to be uploaded is also a factor that should be taken into consideration. The storage devices we have in our gadgets either internally or externally, are different in a capacity they carry when keeping music. It will be helpful if you get music that will fit the storage you have without creating inconveniences. A quality song will always occupy a larger space, and you should equip yourself well for t the storage devices.
Lastly, you have to consider the policies in the state you are. Different countries have their regulations in the process of governing the music industry. Some content can be prohibited in most territories and should be avoided. Such music is like the one that has decadence in morals. Before you download music from a site, ensure the site is verified to perform the tasks. If you download music from a site that is permitted, you will find music that is allowed to listen in your state. Also, try to avoid music that is banned in the place you are for you to enjoy without the imposition of penalties. | <urn:uuid:114b0518-f7aa-46b5-bb0f-47d35596ae97> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | http://arroutada.info/getting-down-to-basics-with-14/ | 2020-07-09T18:08:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655900614.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20200709162634-20200709192634-00450.warc.gz | en | 0.959055 | 564 |
I’ve been thinking about comfort foods a lot. Probably because of all of the uncertainty.
When shit hits the fan I want something familiar. These foods have always been there for me for as long as I can remember – OK, so maybe Bangkok Thai Deli has been here for me for the past decade, plus, but still.
Each of these foods is something I’ve ordered at least twice during the pandemic (I think we repurchase a Top The Tater every other shopping trip). These restaurants and foods feel like old friends. Maybe they are.
Here’s my list:
We felt gutted when Broders’ closed. The news felt like a literal punch to the stomach. They’ve since re-opened again, offering pizza and pasta kits that you can make at home.
I’ve never been sponsored to rave about Broders. I just really love them.
A post I once wrote about the eggplant pizza.
Years ago, (actually, more like a decade!) I worked at Broders’ Cucina for a short time after college. I left with a lot more knowledge about Italian food and lingering respect for the Broders family. They gave us so many opportunities to learn and taste new things.
This post is dedicated to Lunds & Byerlys’s marble cake.
I eat a lot of cake. Of all the grocery store cake I’ve eaten, Lunds & Byerlys consistently makes the best.
Compared to dedicated bakeries that sell cake, it’s still up there.
I’ve had every flavor of Lunds & Byerlys cake.
Somehow I forgot I lived near an old fashioned candy shop.
Regina’s Fine Chocolates is actually a 94 year -old candy shop that’s still owned by the same family.
I’ve taken her for granted.
Before the pandemic, I’d only visited Regina’s to buy treats for other people, but never myself.
That was a mistake.
I ate this meal five days in a row.
If there was more, I would have eaten it for six.
Stacy’s recent blog post on take-out recommendations inspired me to visit Bolé Ethiopian Cuisine located near the Super Target in Midway area of St. Paul, MN.
After reading her post I wanted to order the Super Veggie Sampler, too. | <urn:uuid:686aed00-a94c-4527-8174-eaa4b7710168> | CC-MAIN-2020-24 | https://jenieats.com/category/restaurant-review | 2020-05-30T11:55:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-24/segments/1590347409171.27/warc/CC-MAIN-20200530102741-20200530132741-00114.warc.gz | en | 0.963691 | 521 |
Last night, my friend Caitlin and I were in my car, heading to a cocktail party dressed like Christmas ornaments (meaning a green sequined dress for me and a red one for her).
I said something along the lines of “Don’t mind my spare shoes,” as I always leave an extra pair of flip flops in the car…you know, JUST in case for whatever reason my current footwear happens to fail me (this is an important lesson in preparation that I learned after losing half a pair of Delman flats at Couture on Nazneen’s 22nd birthday).
I ended up letting Caitlin borrow the flip flops since I did have yet another spare pair and the night did have in store some potential walking-in-four inch-heel scenarios…
…And then there was also another something I let her borrow (or rather, have): A chopstick. One high quality, wooden decorated chopstick…you know just in case she at some point felt like putting her hair up and sticking a chopstick in it.
What can I say, there are some bizarre trinkets that I end up finding in my car such as: people’s health insurance cards, Rolex catalogues, Kyle’s backpack, vegan lipbalms, empty Kombucha bottles, peanut butter snicker wrappers, free chalupa cards, miniature hairsprays, and incense sticks. The chopstick on the other hand; that was something I inadvertently had brought on my own into the car…
…It had been a Wednesday morning. I arrived at my usual work parking lot, digging for my wallet in my speedy when lo and behold, I pulled out a chopstick instead and then everything started to come together.
It all began the prior evening:
My friend, Ben and I decided on Biwa as a Tuesday night dinner choice. I had never been before but had heard rave reviews about this Southeast Portland Izakaya. Biwa is located in the same building as Simpatica Dining Hall with a decent sized space comprising of tucked away tables and an open kitchen/bar with overlooking counters. They are also famous for having one of Portland’s most sought after burgers; however it is only available on the late night menu and late night it was not.
Along with a Ginseng-ified Old Fashioned for me and a Milwaukee for Ben, we started off with the Yukke. This may be the most impeccable tartare I have ever had between the perfect consistency of the meat and the Korean flavours permeating it.
For four dollars, you can have these pickles- a delightful platter of beets, cucumbers, kabocha, mushrooms, salted plum, some other unidentified veggies, and in the corner cloves of garlic. Only eat more than one of the the little garlics if you do not plan on running into anyone non-platonic for at least 24 hours.
Another healthy yet delicious small plate; this also happened to coincide with the last sip of my Old Fashioned. I had put my chopsticks down only to notice a minute later that one of them had gone MIA. At first I tried eating with the remaining chopstick, but really people…there is just no way to look classy stabbing a radish no matter how many pearls are on your necklace.
Our waiter described this choice as a “Japanese Quesadilla,” and it’s exactly what it looks like: seaweed wrapped around grilled mochi. And you know what, it DID taste like and have the same mouthfeel of a quesadilla between the crunch of the seaweed and the chewy centre. I loved it. Also because it’s branding as a Japanese quesadilla meant I could get away with pretending like I did not somehow lose one chopstick.
The fantastic part about these bits of chicken? The fried-ness was kept to a minimum; just a slim layer of coating protecting succulent pieces of meat, because who wants their fried coating: meat ratio to be anymore than 1:2? Additionally they kind of resemble tater tots which in my mind meant it was also acceptable to eat sans chopsticks.
And that’s the story of that chopstick.

Hello esteemed educators and industry leaders,
This month, our deep dive explores the pressing challenges facing the U.S. education system. Together, let’s understand these issues and deliberate on solutions to pave a transformative path for our students.
1. ASSESSING THE DOWNFALLS
Declining Academic Performance:
While the U.S. has historically been a beacon of innovation and academic prowess, recent years have painted a different picture. U.S. students are now ranking below many of their peers in industrialized nations, particularly in critical areas such as math and science. Our academic edge is dulling, which begs the question: What’s changed?

Inequity Across Districts:
One of the profound injustices in our system is the glaring inequity across school districts. It’s become painfully evident that a student’s ZIP code plays a massive role in determining their education quality. Schools in affluent districts benefit from advanced resources, while those in lower-income areas struggle with introductory provisions, creating a vast disparity in learning outcomes.
Decreased Teacher Morale:
Our educators shape the future, but their morale has taken a hit in recent years. Factors such as low salaries, insufficient professional development opportunities, and ballooning classroom sizes contribute to declining job satisfaction and high turnover rates among teachers.
📈 Stat Spotlight: Research indicates that teachers in the U.S. often earn significantly less than their peers in other professions with similar educational backgrounds. Source: EdWeek
2. CRAFTING SOLUTIONS
Personalized Learning Models:
The one-size-fits-all approach in education is antiquated. By leveraging cutting-edge technology, we can now cater to individual student needs. This ensures that each student is engaged and challenged according to their pace and level, resulting in improved comprehension and retention.

Education isn’t just about academic achievements. As we evolve, there’s a growing recognition of the importance of a holistic approach. Schools need to cultivate students’ life skills, critical thinking, emotional intelligence, and resilience to prepare them for real-world challenges.
📉 Graph Highlight: A survey reveals that schools emphasizing holistic education witness a surge in student engagement and overall well-being. Source: NAIS
To revolutionize education, we must start with our educators. They need better professional development opportunities, competitive pay, smaller classroom sizes, and a supportive work environment. The ripple effect benefits the entire education ecosystem when teachers are empowered and valued.
- Community type is defined by the urban-centric school locale code based on the 2010 Decennial Census data, collapsed into four categories: city, suburban, town, and rural.
- Instructional level refers to the grade levels taught by a teacher. It divides teachers into elementary or secondary based on the grades taught, primary teaching assignments, and the structure of their classes.
NOTE: Interpret data on city teachers with caution. After nonresponse adjustments, the nonresponse bias for this category is more excellent than other characteristics.

A robust education system thrives on community support. We must reinforce bridges between schools and their surrounding communities. This means encouraging parent involvement, forging partnerships with local businesses, and fostering mentorship programs that provide students with real-world exposure.
3. DRIVING THE FUTURE
Recommendations for Policymakers:
- Invest in Early Childhood Education: The foundation years of a child’s education are crucial. Quality early education programs set the stage for a lifetime of learning, enhancing academic performance and contributing to reduced crime rates and more engaged citizens.
Rethink Standardized Testing:
While standardized tests have merits, we need a more comprehensive evaluation system. This system should assess a broader range of skills, from creativity to problem-solving capabilities, to get a fuller picture of a student’s potential.
Bridge the Digital Divide:
The digital era promises vast educational possibilities. Yet, a significant number of students lack access to essential digital tools. Policymakers must ensure equitable access to these resources, leveling the playing field for all students.
📈 Stat Spotlight: Studies show that for every $1 invested in early childhood education, there’s a potential return of up to $6 in future economic benefits. Sources: FirstThingsFirst; Purdue University
The journey to transform U.S. education is complex, but promising a brighter, more equitable future is worth the effort. By taking collective actions and championing innovative approaches, we can nurture an education system where every student has the opportunity to shine.
Stay informed, stay engaged, and stay inspired.

Cal State Fullerton 4 Nebraska 3
STILLWATER, Okla. – Grahamm Wiest went eight solid innings and Cal State Fullerton capitalized on a number of mistakes as they eliminated No. 19 Nebraska 4-3 Sunday afternoon in an elimination game at Allie P. Reynolds Stadium.
The Titans (34-23) took advantage of three Cornhuskers (41-21) errors, two hit batters and a balk to score the victory and keep their season going. The Titans will now take on No. 1 seed Oklahoma State in a rematch of Saturday night’s affair. The Titans will need to defeat the Cowboys twice to advance to the Super Regionals next week.
Wiest went eight innings and allowed three runs on seven hits, earning his fifth victory of the season. He struck out five and did not issue a walk. The Titans managed just five hits offensively with Tyler Stieb, J.D. Davis, Greg Velazquez, Clay Williamson and Austin Diemer each collecting singles for Fullerton. But it was the Cornhuskers mistakes that allowed the Titans to prevail as all four of their runs were unearned.
Oklahoma State 13 Cal State Fullerton 7
STILLWATER, Okla. – Oklahoma State moved into the championship round of the NCAA Stillwater Regional with a 13-7 win over Cal State Fullerton in a winner’s bracket game Saturday night at Allie P. Reynolds Stadium.
With the win, the top-seeded Cowboys improved to 47-16 and to within one victory of advancing to the Super Regionals for the third time in program history (1999, 2007). OSU will face the winner of Sunday’s Cal State Fullerton-Nebraska contest Sunday at 6 p.m. CSF or Nebraska will have to beat coach Josh Holliday’s ballclub twice to continue its season.
OSU’s 47 wins are the most for the program since 1994 when the Cowboys racked up 49 victories. | <urn:uuid:daeb6c61-6898-414e-923f-5cd9bb6412bc> | CC-MAIN-2014-42 | http://www.collegebaseballdaily.com/2014/06/02/2014-stillwater-regional-day-3-recap/ | 2014-10-21T20:05:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-42/segments/1413507444774.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20141017005724-00324-ip-10-16-133-185.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.941376 | 410 |
THE GREAT PHYSICIAN.
"Verily, verily, I say onto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me. hath everlastling life, and shall not come into condemnation: bat !• passed from death into life." John 5: 24.
We have for our lesson to-day the 5th chapter of this gospel according to John. Of course, we have not time to read the whole chapter; but most of you, perhaps, have been familiar with it. This man had been lame eight and thirty years; and he had been lying at the pool; and when the waters were troubled, others that were better able than he, stepped in and were cured. He could not reach the healing waters, and had given up all hope of ever reaching them. The thought I want to call your attention to is this—that Christ helped the man that could not help himself. I remember that, during the war, when a doctor came into the ward of a hospital, he always went for the worst cases first, those that were most severely wounded; and I have an idea that that is the way the Great Puvsi
works. Some wonder why such abandoned characters are ed first, in meetings like this; but it seems to be the Great Physician's way. Here is a man that has been eight and thirty years lame; and Christ came to him and said, "Wilt thou be made whole?" And the man told his pitiful story, that he had no one to help him and could not get to the pool; and Christ, with a word, commanded him to arise, take up his bed and walk, and he did so. It was instantaneous; the man did not have to wait six months, or six years, and go to the apothecary for a lot of herbs to swallow. It was done at once.
The keynote of this chapter of John is the power of the word of the Son of God. After healing this man-, he tefls the people precious truths, and you will find always that he did so after performing a miracle. These miracles were, perhaps, designed to wake them up, to arouse their attention. Let me read the 24th verse, which I think is one of the most precious verses in the whole Bible. If every other one wore blotted out, there would be truth enough in that verse to save every soul in chis building. "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death into life."
I suppose a great many of those Jews wondered and marveled at this wonderful miracle, that this lame man had been made well; but Christ tells them that the hour is coming when the very dead shall hear the voice of the Son of man, and come forth. We find, in the fourth chapter, the Centurion coming and speaking about his son being sick, and Christ sent back word, "Thy son liveth;" and he returned and he found that at that very hour the son was made well. The Jews are marveling at these wonderful things; but he says, "The hour is coming when the dead shall hear the voice and come forth." soon after, Jairus' daughter was raised from the dead. He had unbelievers and skeptics around him then, as we have now. The philosophers, doubtless, said: "This child was not dead; they made a mistake; she was gone into a sort of faint." A little while after, he met the son of the widow of Nain; and he spoke the word, and broug-ht him back to life. Doubtless, a good many said that the young' man was not dead; and so now men try to explain away the miracles by natural causes. So, he took Lazarus after he had been dead four days, and his body was turned black and was putrefying, and brought him to life.
When Christ told these men that the dead would hear his voice and come to life, he did not leave them without some evidence that what he said was true. He gave them a specimen of his power. You have merchants here who put specimens of goods in their windows; and so Christ gave us a specimen of what he was going to do on the resurrection morning. So we have no ground to doubt that all the dead will be brought to life. Therefore, let us write over all our cemeteries: "The dead shall rise again; they shall come forth and shall live." Now that was pretty strong meat for those Jews. The idea that they should hear the voice of this carpenter, or the son of a carpenter, of Nazareth; the idea that his voice should raise all the dead, is pretty strong meat. But now he iust brings in the witness. It you turn over to the 33d verse—and he speaks now of the witnesses that testify of him: "Ye sent unto John and he bare witness unto the truth." Turn back to the 19th verse of the 1st chapter of John, and you will find that the priests and Levites were sent down from Jerusalem to ask John who he was. They came and said "Who art thou?" And he confessed he was not the Christ, and said, " I am not theOhrist;" and they asked him, "What then? Art thou Elias?" He said, "I am not." "Art thou that prophet?" and he answered, "No." "Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?" He said, "I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the Prophet Esaias." Or, in other words, "I am just nobody. Take word back to those men in Jerusalem I am nothing but just a voice in the wilderness." John was all the time crying down himself, and crying up Christ. "I must decrease, but he must increase." And that is really the very height of preaching, when men make themselves out nothing and Christ everything. \Vhen they preach down self and preach up Christ, then the Holy Ghost can work. He said, "I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as saith the Prophet Esaias." "And they asked him and said unto him, Why baptized thou then if thou be not that Christ nor Elias, neither that prophet? John answered them, saying, I baptize with water; but there standeth one among you whom ye know not He it is, who coming after me, is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose. These things were done in Bethabara, beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing. The next day John seetn Jesus coming unto him, and he saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sins of the world." Now he said to those very men, who wer sent to John to inquire who he was, "And he testified of me, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sins of the world." He said, I have got another witness. "I receive not testimony from man; but these things I say, that ye might be saved. He was a burning and a shining light; and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light." But I have greater witness than that of John; "for the works which the Father hath given to me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me that the Father hath sent me."
Now, I have not only got John for a witness, but these works I am doing. How are you going to account for that man, who was lama for thirty-eight years and made whole by my voice? How arc you going to account for that Centurion's son, who was dying; and I spoke the word, and he was made whole? These works I am doing in your sight. If you will not believe my witnesses, believe me for my work's sake. What overflowing testimony they had that he was manifest in the flesh and came from heaven to do the will of his Father.
But he says, I have got another witness besides those works: "And the Father himself which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me." Not that he is going to, but hath already done it. When he was baptized in Jerusalem and came out of the Jordan, there was a voice fell from heaven saying, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him." God bare witness that Christ was his Son: "This is my beloved Son, in whom 1 am well pleased." Then, again, on the Mount of Transfiguration, when he took Peter, James and John up with him, and Moses and Elias were talking with him, and a cloud came upon him; and there came a voice out of the cloud from the throne of heaven, saying, "This my beloved Son, hear ye him." God bare witness for Christ; what more witness do we want? Then he said, I have another: "Search the Scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life; and they are they which testify of me." There are four witnesses: John the Baptist; the works that he performed; God his Father; and the Scriptures.
And if you turn over into the Old Testament, you will find that Moses and the Psalmist and the Prophets all testified of Christ. Why, when Philip went out there to preach to that eunuch, he found him reading the 53rd chapter of Isaiah; and he commenced and preached Christ to him. He found Christ in the Old Testament. There are a great many men in Boston who cannot find Christ there, because the devil has blinded them. If they had their eyes open, they could find him upon every page of Scripture; if you hunt for him you will find him there. "Search the Scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life, and they are they which testify of me." Yes, Moses wrote of him, David wrote of him, and Elijah and the prophets testified of him; and we find that nearly every prophet testified of his coming. No one wrote more beautifully of him than the prophet Isaiah. It seems to me that we have got all the proof we want that this Jesus'Christ was the Son of God; that he came from the bosom of the Father, and came to save the world. If you will call upon him he will help you. Just come to him and he will give you power to speak for him. He will open your eyes, and you will see him. He will open your ears and you will hear the voice of the blessed gospel. Ask and you will receive. | <urn:uuid:f120ea8e-e401-4b82-ae23-85c5555c2545> | CC-MAIN-2016-22 | http://www.biblestudytools.com/classics/moody-gospel-awakening/the-gospel-physician.html | 2016-05-26T21:34:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-22/segments/1464049276304.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20160524002116-00023-ip-10-185-217-139.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.988827 | 2,265 |
A leading member of Australia’s strata industry says cheap, low-quality imports threaten to undermine the quality of the country’s built environment, and has called for regulators to cast a stricter eye upon construction practices.
Stephen Raff, CEO of Ace Body Corporate and former president of Strata Community Australia (Vic) said the usage of low-quality imported products has become rife within the country’s building industry.
“The main issue is that there are a lot of inputs coming in from overseas, and the inputs have been found to come in various forms,” he said. “The failure of these imported products to comply with our local standards is a problem right across Australia.”
According to Raff, the problem of potentially hazardous imports is one which affects a range of product categories within the building industry.
“There’s aluminium cladding, glass panels that explode, as well as sub-standard Chinese wiring that’s coming into the country that’s putting 40,000 homes at risk,” he said.
The most glaring recent example of the potentially disastrous ramifications of using cheap imports is the fire that consumed an apartment in Melbourne’s Dockland’s district last year. Official investigators blamed the blaze on sub-par cladding.
“There was an investigation headed up by the Metropolitan Fire Brigade where a 21-storey Melbourne apartment building caught fire, and found that it was clear the aluminium cladding posed a serious risk to the building,” Raff said. “The problem was the use of an imported product that was firstly cheaper, but also attractive because it had better insulation than a less combustible alternative, because it was lined with foam as opposed to mineral fibre.
“The product basically failed Australian buildings standards.”
The issue of potentially hazardous, low-cost imports isn’t confined to just cladding, however, with other products such as glass panels and electrical wiring also similarly affected.
“Panels of glass that are being imported from China to serve as shower screens or pool fences have exploded and caused injury to a number of people already across Australia,” said Raff. “These imported panels are just are of inferior quality, and what happens is that for no reason at all they just explode, causing glass to shatter everywhere.”
Even more hazardous than exploding glass is defective electrical cabling that has the potential to spark blazes in the buildings where it's installed.
“These was a recall incident last year involving a company that had imported electrical cabling that has put over 40,000 homes at risk, with an estimated 3,400 kilometres of cable still unaccounted for," Raff noted. “Its inferior plastic coating can become prematurely brittle and break if disturbed – if it’s moved, it can crack, exposing the internal conductors and potentially causing electrical shock or fires.”
Given the drive toward denser high-rise residential properties in Australia’s urban centres, this problem could pose an increasing threat to the safety of occupants if left unchecked.
“This is a problem that will worsen considerably - three in every four residential properties in the city of Sydney are apartments, and there are 20,000 new units projected to come onto the market over the next few years,” said Raff. “So urgent attention need to be given to construction quality standards by the government.”
The SCA is calling for the government to impose stricter monitoring of the import and usage of low-quality building products.
“One of the things that SCA chapters are trying to do, particularly in NSW and Victoria, is to get the government to listen to us and say, 'hey this is ridiculous, we need to be monitoring these builders more,'” said Raff. “There’s a lot of very poor building out there; some builders, if they can get away with substandard materials, then they will do that.
“We need to have control systems in place whereby we’re monitoring what they’re doing, monitoring the materials they’re using.
“The ACCC needs to be more stringent - they need to be monitoring what’s coming into Australia and what builders are using, and the government needs to introduce legislation for inspectors to be more rigid in inspecting and making sure that these products are not being used.” | <urn:uuid:b5571c8c-7052-4f22-9993-97a9f7e14f94> | CC-MAIN-2017-39 | https://sourceable.net/shoddy-imports-imperil-australias-buildings/ | 2017-09-23T00:09:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-39/segments/1505818689411.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20170922235700-20170923015700-00471.warc.gz | en | 0.962738 | 919 |
A new report claims Jennifer Aniston is pregnant AGAIN. How many times have we heard this now?
The latest rumor comes from Star Magazine. They claim Jennifer cried “tears of joy” when she found out she was pregnant with a baby girl with her fiance Justin Theroux. The tabloid says she’s due in May but hasn’t announced it because she’s “superstitious and scared to death that making a huge public deal over her pregnancy might jinx her.”
A rep for Aniston says the report is “totally made up.” Guess we’ll see in May.
With the election over, producers of “Parks and Recreation” revealed that Vice President Joe Biden has filmed a cameo for the show. They kept it quiet because they didn’t want to give VP candidate Paul Ryan equal time. “It was all very byzantine and complicated,” says co-creator Michael Schur. “There seem to be all kinds of specific rules, which I never fully understood. But we decided to err on the side of caution.” The cameo was filmed in July and the episode will air next week on NBC.
Britney Spears will be back for another season of the “X Factor.” She told interviewers at a red carpet event for the show ,”They’re like my little children,” and how much fun she has as a judge on the show. Britney was asked if she would be back next season, “Yes, I definitely will.”
Now that Mitt Romney has lost the election it looks like Jason Sudeikis will be leaving “Saturday Night Live.” A source said he probably won’t stick around past January to play Joe Biden. He has three movies coming out in 2013 and is planning on starring in a fourth.

The Importance of Support Letters
There are no accurate statistics available on the effect,if any, support letters have on an inmate or offender making parole but we do discuss them in detail and provide examples in our book How to Prepare a Texas Parole Packet.
The problem that we are seeing is that a number of different websites have examples on them of support letters which were obviously drafted by people with no legal or psychological background and the letters have nothing in them which provides any information llikely to be of benefit in persuading a voting member of the Texas Board of Pardons and Parole to grant parole. If something is not going to provide a positive benefit then it will only detract from the "good" parts of the parole packet.
As we explain, our book and all of the forms and examples in it were drafted by a former trial lawyer and criminal defense attorney and reviewed and approved by a different person with education and training in psychology. As the book sets out, these were not just randomly written or chosen but were designed to be a part of an overall package with specific goals in mind, the ultimate one being to personalize the offender seeking parole and to get a positive vote from the initial two voting members, thus having parole granted without the necessity for a third vote.
Effective support letters can provide the parole board with evidence of how the offender will reintegrate into society and be both responsible as well as complete their parole with no violations. The support letters are the evidence which combine with the "blueprint for success" set forth elsewhere in the parole packet.
Be very careful when choosing what support letters to provide as well as what is contained in them. Be sure they fit into the overall plan and don't just clutter up the file, possibly pulling attention away from other important sections. | <urn:uuid:f8d5f45e-3526-4f68-980e-1bb9adb11b09> | CC-MAIN-2018-17 | http://www.texasparolenow.com/the-importance-of-support-letters/ | 2018-04-24T23:07:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-17/segments/1524125947421.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20180424221730-20180425001730-00119.warc.gz | en | 0.974491 | 365 |

Is the market eyeing the ideal soybean planting dates? Here's a story I put together, outlining the Midwest planting dates and the upcoming 10-day weather outlook:
Are you in good shape? Or, are you in an area that has been rained out for 5-7 days. While doing this story, I found out that portions of Indiana may not be able to see planting resume for awhile.
05-15-2014 07:40 PM
Was just over towards northeastern OH today, couple inches of rain there last night, lots of ponding in fields. Some fields were planted to corn but none emerged up that way yet.. seed underwater or sitting in saturated soil. Have yet to hear much about soybeans this year. Saw plenty of fields of corn stalks though.
Looking at this rainfall map i'd imagine some of Indiana looks about as wet today.
05-15-2014 07:43 PM
Cold & wet tends to delay planting, emergence, and general growth............this is nothing new.
And........just in case folks haven't been paying attention, June will be here in 16 days........
In many areas, it won't be fit to plant for at least 4-5 days.......at the earliest.............the clock is ticking.
165.........and........45. Don't worry........be happy.
05-15-2014 08:37 PM
Mike, the corn and beans that are up in this area face the real possibility of getting smoked by frost tonight. The corn I planted ten days ago is up, about an inch tall. I finished soybeans last Wednesday, they are just cracking ground with a few just breaking the surface. A couple of the big boys in the area were planting corn and soybeans the last week of April..... It might be the year of mass replant for a few of the larger operators around here. Planters will not roll again in Indiana for a while.

Scattered frost here last night, down to 35*. Lots of corn up and some beans. My guess is that very little if any damage here. One more night of concern then warmer nights.
Blacksand, just wondering if tomorrow morning might smoke you more than last night? | <urn:uuid:e83b3e59-ede5-468c-b120-3e132c7702f8> | CC-MAIN-2017-09 | http://community.agriculture.com/t5/Marketing/Fading-Soybean-Planting-Dates/td-p/493352 | 2017-02-19T11:48:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-09/segments/1487501169769.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20170219104609-00532-ip-10-171-10-108.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.92195 | 647 |
Evidence pointing to one or more Android-based tablet devices from Amazon keeps piling up. Now you can add another tidbit from Taiwan to the mix, with DigiTimes reporting Wednesday that the online retailing giant is tapping a third touchscreen supplier for a 7-inch entry-level tablet that's reportedly set to start shipping next month.
DigiTimes, which in July named several purported suppliers of components for both a 7-inch tablet and a 10-inch tablet rumored to be coming from Amazon, now reports that TPK Holding has been added to Wintek and JTouch as a supplier of touchscreens for the 7-inch device.
Wintek and JTouch both called Amazon's addition of another touchscreen supplier "reasonable" given tight supplies, according to the Taiwanese tech journal. DigiTimes also reported that Wintek claimed it "will start production of touch panels for Amazon as originally scheduled, with shipments to begin in September."
Amazon has not officially confirmed that it will be making a single tablet, let alone two, though the company has dropped hints that it plans to do so. Thomas Szkutak, Amazon's chief financial officer, would neither confirm nor deny the company's tablet plans during a July earnings call, saying, "We have a longstanding practice of not talking about what we might or might not do."
But Amazon is believed to have recently registered "KindleAir.com," leading to speculation that the rumored tablet could be branded as a version of the company's popular Kindle ereaders.
An earlier report from DigiTimes suggests that Kindle-assembler Foxconn will be putting together the rumored 10-inch tablet, while Quanta Computer has that task for the 7-inch device and is supposedly already shipping finished product to Amazon.
One thing's for surewith HP's decision to discontinue the TouchPad, Amazon would have one less competitor in the tablet market. That advantage would be relative, however, given that the largest tablet-maker, Apple, dwarfs all the others combined.
Still, if Amazon prices its rumored device or devices at a level below what other Andorid tablet makers are charging, the company could be in a good position to disrupt the market, according to PCMag's Tim Bajarin.

November 28, 2011. Samuel J. Ansel was the son of James. He
is located in the right
lower corner of the ANSELL FAMILY

1. Henry Beasley Ansell, who married Lydia Simmons on 20 Oct 1859.
3. Samuel Jasper, born 11 May 1844 married Mary S. This marriage produced two children Lenora, born 17 Sept 1874 of Knotts Island and Lydia Susan who married John Gregory. Lenora, better known as Nora, married Caiaphias Howell Caffee, better known as "K". They were married 18 July 1900 on Knotts Island by Justice of the Peace E. S. Bowden.

Jack Dudley commented that Susan born about 1850 married on March 13,1871 in Currituck to John T. Frost and on marriage license that Justice Of The Peace was H. B. Ansell. Her Brother.
November 29, 2011. Comment Jack Dudley - The Will of
William Beasley who died in 1832 said his wife was Lydia.
The Will does not mention the names of the children. However it may be
because they were too young. This may be the parents of Lydia Beasley
Ansell. She would
have had a Brother.

Ashanti received one of the highest honors at the 2021 Soul Train Awards. The New York native was honored in her home state with the hallowed Lady Of Soul award, presented by Normani.
Derived from the Ghanaian word, “thank you,” Ashanti’s legacy was celebrated for its heart, essence, individuality, and light. The Grammy-winner, who celebrates the 20 year anniversary of her debut album, was honored in a special video package by Fat Joe, Sevyn Streeter, producer LT Hutton, and Tamar Braxton.
The former Murder Inc. singer-songwriter celebrated the occasion with a beautiful speech. “A lot of people thought that I wouldn’t make it this far,” she said. “Because of my family, my mom, aka the original momager, my sister, my dad, my whole team Ashanti, and my amazing fans, I’m standing here tonight.”
She continued: “Some people may look at my journey and think it was easy, it was not. My career has been filled with so many peaks and valleys and it definitely wasn’t easy. I’ve been blessed to have broken records, won awards, and toured the world.
A venerable legend who continues to redefine herself, Ashanti was aware of her full-circle moment. “In 2002, I received the ‘Aretha Franklin Entertainer of the Year’ award, and here I am, almost 20 years later receiving this great honor tonight.”
The “Rain on Me” singer closed her speech with a special promise.
“I will continue to keep pushing, keep thriving, keep following my dreams, continue to put music out, provide for my community and support up-and-coming female writers and singers. It’s all about women’s empowerment, y'all!”
Ashanti was also sure to thank her longtime friends and collaborators, Ja Rule and Fat Joe.
After her speech, the singer took the stage and got the crowd on their feet with a medley of her biggest hits. Accompanied by the house band, the “Princess of Hip Hop and R&B” kicked off her performance with “Happy,” before going into “Rain on Me,” and “The Way That I Love You.”
The songstress brought pure nostalgia to the stage when she went into the hit single “Baby.” Fat Joe, who joined her on stage for “What’s Luv,” which proved to be one of the biggest moments of the night. This was only one-upped by Joe’s Verzuz competitor, and longtime friend and collaborator to Ashanti, Ja Rule.
Finally, the moment everyone was waiting for arrived when fellow hip hop legend, Ja Rule, came out for “Always On Time” — proving that the magic and chemistry have never diminished.
In closing out the performance, Ashanti put a stamp on her Lady of Soul distinction by engaging the crowd in singing “Foolish/Unfoolish.” | <urn:uuid:93eddcb9-4d5c-403d-8b8c-1673f455030d> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.bet.com/article/jaj4xr/soul-train-awards-2021-ashanti-lady-of-soul-performance | 2022-08-12T20:17:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571758.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20220812200804-20220812230804-00781.warc.gz | en | 0.976218 | 666 |

1967 Maserati Quattroporte - £29,995
This is a 1967 Maserati Quattroporte LHD finished in Red with Beige Leather interior. The clock is showing 111,000 Km's, she has the desirable Manual Gearbox and is ready for its new home! SHe has had a certain amount of restoration in the past, the interior is beautiful, the exterior paint is OK but not fantastic and mechanically she is solid. Looking at prices worldwide, we couldnt see a cheaper one!
'The Quattroporte is billed as the world's fastest sedan. It is a highly refined automobile with a four-passenger cruising capability in excess of 100mph, with enough attendant luxuries to compare favourably with non plus ultra of all luxury sedans, the Mercedes-Benz 600 and the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow.' - Car & Driver. Styled by Frua and introduced in 1963, the V8-powered Quattroporte was a landmark model for Maserati, being the Modena firm's first four-door saloon and its first car of unitary construction. Styled by Frua and introduced at the 1963 Turin Show, the Quattroporte was powered by a downsized - to 4.2 litres - version of the 5000GT's four-cam V8 and beneath the skin featured independent front suspension and a De Dion rear axle, though the latter was replaced by a conventional elliptically sprung live axle in 1967. Car & Driver recorded a 0-60mph time of 8.7 seconds and wound their Quattroporte up to 120mph, estimating that there was another 10mph still to come, all of which was some going for a fully-equipped four-seater weighing close to 2 tons. The successor Quattroporte II deployed the V6 engine and front-wheel-drive package of the Citroën SM in a body by Bertone,
This super-rare Quattroporte has one of the best sounding engines of any car! This is originally an American market vehicle which means it benefits from having lived in a dry state most of its life. The majority of these cars that are for sale are either rusty wrecks requiring restoration or half finished project cars. This car was delivered new in June 1967 to West Nyack New York USA and was originally Argento Auteuil (Silver) with Brown Leather. The car was believed to have been gold at some point in it's life (circa 2004) and has since been re-painted. The history file contains a Certificate of Title from the State of Oklahoma issued in November 2009.
The leather interior presents very well and has been restored at some point. The exterior presents nicely overall but could do with some recommissioning to be aesthetically perfect. The car has a highly desirable 5 speed ZF manual gearbox, is UK registered and was last MOT'd until 2017 with no advisories. She's been in storage for a few months so would benefit from some fettling before being used on a daily basis. That said, the car starts first time and drives nicely. This car represents great value and is a good useable example of a rare LHD QP! | <urn:uuid:1a53fedf-625c-4a85-8852-a9908169508a> | CC-MAIN-2023-23 | https://www.justinbanks.com/1967maserati-quattroporte/ | 2023-06-06T22:47:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-23/segments/1685224653183.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20230606214755-20230607004755-00136.warc.gz | en | 0.969333 | 669 |
Stay & Play
25hours Hotel, The Royal Bavarian, Munich
by Michael Morcos
Funky is a good way of describing this hotel, so is cool, hip or even psychedelic! The 25 Hours Hotel is anything but a cookie cutter property, far from it. The designers and decorators of this hotel took every opportunity of making things abnormal. Even the hotel name throws you for a loop.
Our hotel adventure started upon arrival where we climbed to the first-floor reception and found a red, antique, tissue covered couch in the elevator. On arriving to the welcome desk our senses were again attacked as we would feel like we were in a Sargent Pepper album cover. The scenario continued past the check-in through the blue coloured hallway to our dazzling room. It was wonder at first sight! Just about every detail in our room was a conscientious work of art. Like books that fill in for bed legs. An all-black toilet – tiles, walls and bowl. How about the new washroom sink, faucet and counter that resemble something from a century ago. It was all very puzzling and yet it worked.
As for location, Munich was practically at our doorstep. Located directly in front of the train station, getting to and from any European destination was easy. At the corner of the street was a metro station and Munich’s major attractions were just a short walk away.
Breakfasts at the hotel were delightful. Served buffet style, the choices were varied and plentiful, starting with wonderful fresh and hearty German breads, fine cheeses and delicious cold cuts to eggs prepared in any style. The atmosphere in the breakfast room echoed the hotel. Weird, wild and just about right, as were the mostly young to middle aged clients.
Travelling is all about the new and different. A stay at the 25 Hours Hotel was refreshing and certainly memorable. After a stay like this, it sure did make me think about how boring some hotels really are and with properties across Europe; the experience can carry on and on. | <urn:uuid:7c906b68-3985-4895-9fdc-947bcb33bbd4> | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | http://worldtraveler.travel/stay-play/25hours-hotel-the-royal-bavarian-munich/ | 2020-02-25T04:06:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875146004.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20200225014941-20200225044941-00170.warc.gz | en | 0.975776 | 417 |

The will to control.
Where does the will to control populations come from, to impose screening, vaccinations, tracing, to modify the DNA of living beings to make them more efficient, to interfere in other countries under the pretext of wanting to make peace there, to sprinkle the atmosphere with particles to try to control the climate, to plant the trees in lines believing to increase the productivity of the forests, to send religious, cultural and health missionaries to the underdeveloped peoples to save them, to filter what is right to say, to destroy local identities, to think of improving the human being with technology, to make him immortal. …? … and above all, what is it that can push populations not only to accept all these levels of control, but to adhere to them, and even more so to call them?
It is all too easy to invoke the malfeasance of a group of cynical individuals and the ignorance or submission of peoples as the only explanations. That certainly exists, but there is a deeper, more fundamental root.
It is fear.
Fear of the living.
This fear does not only concern states or the forces of power. This fear of the living is riveted in most of us in a very deep way.
Incredible paradox! We are living, biological beings! We are part of nature. The living is in us and we depend on the living. In the same way that all the trees and living things in a forest are so interconnected that we have to assimilate the forest to a vast organism, we are so interconnected to all living things that we should not say: we are in interaction with the living, but “we are the living”.
What an incredible curiosity about life! The human being is a member of the great tribe of living beings, an incredibly complex organism, resulting from the billions of years of existence of this planet, whose every cell is a treasure of engineering, whose body is a marvel of organization, of constant adaptability, which exists and grows in the flow of matter that constantly passes through it because it coexists with a host of microorganisms, that these microorganisms exist even within our cells, that we permanently house bacteria and viruses, themselves carriers of precious information, of unique DNA, capable of essential protein synthesis. .. our whole body which is a community of linked intelligences, where the limit of what is “us” and “the other” is not a clear line, where nothing is an impassable frontier… the human being, therefore, mountain of life in an ocean of life… has developed the incredible fear of the living!!!
If we don’t embrace the immensity of this collective madness, if we don’t consider the unfathomable depth of the suffering that lies behind it, then we are doomed!
If we don’t start from there, then we will continue to wander on the surface of the problem, naively wondering why nothing changes.
I belong to that generation whose parents (and even their parents before them) believed in 68 in the possibility of a better world, who had put their commitment, their intelligence, their sincerity and also their immaturity in that direction .
I am carried by these impulses of world transformation.
I am an anarchist in the primary sense of the term, one of those who believe in the possibility of an “order without power”. I have been active for a long time in libertarian groups…
… but I am also one of those who encountered one day, very early in my case, the wall of the limits of their personal functioning, dictatorial systems of protection in the background of their so-called magnificent values and social conscience. I have left any militant movement to tackle a more impalpable and complex task: that of understanding and softening my inner mess a little.
I have been working on myself for 25 years, since I was 20, when I fell from my pedestal as a brilliant student-researcher certain of the supremacy of his brain.
I should say that self exploration is my job… but to claim expertise in such a vast field would be arrogance! Nevertheless, I’ve learned two things I’m sure of during these years:
The intelligence within us, in our bodies, in our living being, is immense, inexhaustible, marvellous and forces us to bow down as soon as we pick up a scrap of it.
The more we get to know each other, the more we realize the depth of the suffering that inhabits us… and the more we plunge into it, the more we actually encounter life and wonder… but for all that there is no final key, no total liberation… we simply learn to embrace it.
The experience of these two things makes me speak as a person who knows no other way than to listen to the living again and again, whatever situations we encounter and the questions we ask ourselves… which amounts to listening again to our body, the closest wilderness space to us, the one through which we perceive, feel and think.
I militate with all my being so that we re-appropriate the wild. The living is wild. The savage is scary. In the past we used to burn witches, today we disinfect with bleach, we vaccinate ourselves, we pluck our hair, we are afraid of the diseases that are in the humus, we are lost in the woods… ! We all participate by our actions in this dynamic of control of the living…
We all participate in it in a much deeper way.
It has been 25 years that I have been on a journey to listen to this living being, to go with it, to ride this powerful beast… well… I am obliged to admit that I only make occasional incursions into it, and that certainly I only know its perfume. … that even if I know the benefits, the reality is that I am forced to see all the strategies at work in me to continue not to listen, not to let myself be taken in by it, to find solutions with my mind, ways out!
But I believe that homo modernicus is not crazy!
If he puts so much energy into controlling life, which is so much bigger than he is, it’s because there’s a good reason… it’s because there are in our unconscious, in our flesh, personal and collective sufferings that are so intense that it’s understandable to want to run away from them.
If we miss this reality, we’re screwed! Completely fucked!
Because a nuclear bomb is inside us, inside all of us. We can’t defuse it with technology, it’s far too strong! Absurd naivety of man, of Promethean transhumanism larvae in the collective unconscious: in each one of us life has been violated many times in the history of humanity. In each one of us the innocence of the scorned life screams with rage, roars with indignation. A monster of anger storms beneath the surface and can sweep everything away at any moment. Tsunamis and rising waters are within us!
One day I stopped being active in political groups. During a meeting I saw that none of the people gathered around the table, myself included, were living up to their ideals. Time has passed and I think so more and more.
Yes, however, I think it is normal to be vigilant and not let those who could harm the community in the short term, to stand in the way of those who have enough power and hypnosis in them to believe in the possibility of regulating humanity and the planet through some form of technology.
Yes! Let’s watch out!
But the real demon is somewhere else, it’s in us.
But this demon is not a demon: he is only a living wounded one, so wounded that he could destroy everything… like a child raped, mistreated, not listened to, in an endless anger.
Today we realize how fragile the ecological balance is. I think we don’t yet realize how fragile is the balance within us. Burn-outs are on the rise… and that may be a good sign. Life no longer allows itself to be mishandled. It withdraws, like an engine that shuts down in safety mode.
As we become aware of the violence that is built up inside us, we begin to realize how much all of us, with our injured bodies, are potentially dangerous to each other… even if we advocate for a better way or adhere to a non-violent philosophy… We realize how much mankind is walking on eggshells… a sensitive walk that has been going on for at least centuries and seems to be reaching a kind of climax!
One day, perhaps now, we will have to stop, sit next to the lion that we have locked in the cage, find a way to get him out of there, this furious animal, without him breaking everything in the process. You may have to dance for a long time next to the enclosure to relearn how to trust the savage again and let the bars dissolve…
From my experience as a person who can do nothing but small danced or poetic steps towards this living content, I invite all those who read these lines to become aware that all the problems of our societies are in no way external to us, and that if we do not individually take our small internal steps to gradually let go of this antediluvian monster, then all our actions as firefighters to denounce such and such an influential personality, to thwart such and such an infamous commercial strategy of financial trusts or to counter such and such a liberticidal law, will be nothing but powerless actions, endless reactions, repeated participation in a scenario based on fleeing from the suffering that has lasted for so long.
There is nothing esoteric about what I am sharing here.
I’m talking about systemic common sense.
We are an integral part of the system of the living.
Our genius brain is not the cutting edge of evolution, it’s part of that system.
We are navigators whose rafts are derisory compared to the ocean that carries them. Our power of action, of real action, is reduced. When we bring consciousness back into it, we realize that the raft is part of the ocean and we can begin to regain a form of friendship with the deep currents, and an interest in going with what they offer us… then “we” (i.e. us and the ocean) become powerful… and peaceful.
We can’t do that as long as we deny the traumatic reality of our unconscious… and getting out of this denial, we have to repeat it to ourselves, it takes time.
Many see this health crisis as the possibility of a “new world”… I wish it myself… but I’m sure it will take time. You don’t get out of the trauma overnight, these are small steps… and yet I think they are the most interesting steps we can take.
This current exists, it’s growing. More and more people are “stopped” in the race for social success, taking the time to ask themselves what makes sense for them. Others are listening to the Earth in order to cultivate differently, to live differently, to live together differently.
All of this is so precious, so fragile, so delicate… we all need time to slow down the emergency, to regain the measure of this mountain in us that we have abandoned, to relearn how to listen.

Lunch in Dubai with a baby – outdoors and with a great view
It’s still just about cool enough to enjoy have my lunch outside as long as there’s some shade and whether you’re in Dubai on holiday or you live here you’ll probably agree it’s always nice to have a view too.
So for discerning babies, here’s some inspiration before it gets too hot for great places to fling / eat your lunch outside and with that view…
Elevated at first floor level for beautiful views of the driving range from the terrace, there’s plenty of umbrellas for shade and fantastic food very reasonably priced. It’s also licensed in case mum or dad fancy a cheeky glass of something. A light lunch for 2 adults (with me sharing their food and the delicious bread basket) costs around Aed 100-200. Naturally there’s valet parking too if it’s too much hassle to walk from the car park right next door. Use your Timeout City card for a discount.
Decked terraces over the water and a fantastic view over the Creek and Dubai skyline views, this is one of my favourite haunts. It’s abit of a pain lifting my pushchair up and down the steps but the staff are always on hand to help and it’s totally worth it. Wide variety of excellent food. Licensed. A light lunch for 2 adults (without alcohol) is around Aed 150-250. They also provide a bread basket which keeps me occupied til the food arrives. You can also use your Timeout City card here.
This is an arabic inspired cafe but even if you’re not mad about arabic food you’ll still find something you’ll love on this menu. The date bread they bring out is amazing. Not licensed but Mum and Dad love the coffee here, not least because of the toffee-like date they serve with it. It’s located on the Marina so you can people and boat watch at the same time. You can even round off your lunch with a trip on Captain Jack (boat tour around the Marina) that departs just opposite. Light lunch around Aed 100-200.
If you’re after a lush green view come here! Situated on the ground floor in the clubhouse and close to the pool. Large range of food, great atmosphere but still always possible to get a table even on a weekend. Of course the food is top notch and you can even get a real (pork) bacon sandwich. A light lunch is around aed 150-250 for two without alcohol. Licensed.
The view from here is pretty incredible as you look over Dubai’s coastline from the Palm. This licensed restaurant is by the beach at Tiara Residences but is open to non- residents. It’s a bit tricky to find your way to the restaurant from the basement car park but once you emerge into daylight and see the view, you won’t be disappointed. Food is good although not as great as some of the other places mentioned and Mum finds the chairs too low for the tables but she is a bit fussy. All worth it for that view. Use your Entertainer voucher for buy one get one free on main courses.
Want to have lunch whilst gawping at the Burj Khalifa? This is your place! Very popular with families you’re in good company as you watch how far you can fling your bread roll. I’ve seen Mum’s eyes light up at the cakes here. Can get very busy and you might need to wait for an outside table. If the wait’s too much, head down to the other end where there’s another Cafe Bateel or The Social House is also nice and similar to More.
If you have any outdoor lunchtime favourites with a view let me know as I’m always keen to try somewhere new! | <urn:uuid:0d54f84f-c113-4e65-a308-3140f09f4930> | CC-MAIN-2015-14 | http://babyinthesunshine.com/2013/04/07/lunch-in-dubai-with-a-baby-outdoors-and-with-a-great-view/ | 2015-03-29T03:04:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-14/segments/1427131298080.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20150323172138-00222-ip-10-168-14-71.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.952537 | 834 |
The technology, from Esteem Systems, is designed to keep council services up and running. For example, it will ensure staff have access to vital information immediately and citizens can use the council's 24-hour secure internet payment service.
Based on Sun Microsystems' and Symantec Netbackup's technology, it will modernise the council's infrastructure and continually provide electronic services for Shetland Islands citizens.
The infrastructure also provides centralised management and a manual failover process to support the automated disaster recovery system at the back-up facility, which takes over in the event of a failure at the primary data site.

About Chess Book
This book is a classic of chess. The book is divided into four primary sections, an introduction and three parts. In the introduction, Mason discusses general method of chess. He addresses many major and minor points. 'A thorough understanding of the board is of the first importance, as without it no progress in chess worth the labour is possible. It is in this matter that the young player most commonly errs at the very outset. Mistaking more or less familiar acquaintance for accurate knowledge, he assigns the board a secondary place in chess economy.' This last statement could be taken as a general maxim for many chess players - they mistake acquaintance or familiarity with accurate knowledge. There are sections on openings (not so valuable as grandmaster strategies, but rather interesting to see the breadth of possibilities), as well as endgame examples, showing the power and variations possible with each particular piece.

The Central Bureau of Investigation told the Supreme Court that charge sheet in the controversial Aircel-Maxis deal involving former telecom minister Dayanidhi Maran will be filed shortly as the Attorney General disagreed with the views of its Director Ranjit Sinha to drop the prosecution.
A bench headed by Justice H L Dattu which perused the status report and other materials filed in sealed cover on the progress of the probe, said "after the opinion of Attorney General(Mukul Rohatgi), CBI has talked about the filing of the charge sheet at the end of the particular month".
The bench made the remarks after senior advocate K K Venugopal, who placed the status report on behalf of the CBI, said that the apprehension was not justified that the agency was not moving forward for filing the charge sheet.
He explained the sequence of events for delay due to difference of opinion between CBI Director and Director Prosecution on filing of charge sheet which was finally decided after AG's opinion.
"The Attorney General has concurred with the opinion of Director of Prosecution and not with the CBI Director," Venugopal said, adding that "all steps have been taken for filing of the charge sheet and that is going to be done".
He said that Rohatgi's July 27 opinion was received by the CBI on August 4. CBI had earlier said that its domestic investigation was complete but was facing hurdles in its overseas probe as it was not getting cooperation from Malaysian authorities.
The Aircel-Maxis deal also involved Kuala Lumpur-based business tycoon T Ananda Krishnan. Maran has been accused of "forcing" Chennai-based telecom promoter C Sivasankaran to sell the stake in Aircel to Malaysian firm Maxis Group in 2006 owned by Ananda Krishnan.
Venugopal said Malaysian authorities have been asking clear proof of criminality and their Attorney General wrote strong letter to Indian Embassy officials in Kuala Lumpur. At this, the bench said, "Union of India has to take up the matter with Malaysian Government".
The NGO, Centre for Public Interest Litigation and Janata Party President Subramanian Swamy, had filed applications in the apex court alleging that Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) approval to the Aircel-Maxis deal was granted fraudulently.
The agency had earlier said the overseas probe was being delayed due to the influence of the firm's owner in Malaysia who is "powerful politically". The agency had submitted that overseas probe was important to track the money trail as the funds for the deal had come through Mauritius.
The agency in July 2011 had placed a status report in the court stating that during 2004-07 when Maran was Telecom Minister, Sivasankaran was coerced to sell the stake in Aircel to Maxis Group.
The report, part of which was read, had said the Malaysian firm was favoured by Maran and was granted licence within six months after taking over Aircel in December 2006. Maran was the Telecom Minister between February 2004 and May, 2007. | <urn:uuid:ed99a82b-5651-4a38-8779-836b33dbfb7c> | CC-MAIN-2017-34 | http://www.rediff.com/money/report/cbi-to-file-charge-sheet-in-aircel-maxis-deal-involving-maran/20140812.htm | 2017-08-20T20:17:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-34/segments/1502886106984.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20170820185216-20170820205216-00348.warc.gz | en | 0.987299 | 617 |
Nonlinear Programming Capability
The key computational kernels of the SOCS library are the sparse nonlinear programming algorithms SPRNLP and BARNLP. For optimal control applications SPRNLP and BARNLP are fully integrated with the SOCS software and are transparent to the control practitioner. However, it is also possible to use SPRNLP and BARNLP independently for applications other than optimal control. The SPRNLP software implements a state-of-the-art sequential quadratic programming (SQP) method, using an augmented Lagrangian merit function and safeguarded line search. SPRNLP can accommodate nonlinear equality and inequality constraints, as well as simple bounds. The BARNLP software implements a sparse primal-dual interior point algorithm, in conjunction with a filter method for globalization. The outstanding performance of the software in benchmark tests has been documented. The package supports four different levels of functionality.
Provides general-purpose constrained optimization capability for very large applications. Unique features include:
- Sparse Quadratic Programming -- Schur-Complement QP Method needs only one sparse matrix factorization, even with active set changes!
- Primal-Dual interior point method efficient even with many inequality constraints.
- Sparse Linear Algebra -- Multifrontal solution of symmetric indefinite systems with pivoting for stability, using award-winning 1 Boeing software BCSLIB-EXT.
- Arbitrary Jacobian and Hessian Sparsity -- Not restricted to block diagonal or other special form.
- Quadratic Convergence -- Efficient solution for very large problems. How large?
- No Restriction on Degrees of Freedom. Unlike reduced Hessian methods, SPRNLP and BARNLP converge efficiently when the final active set is small or large.
- Reverse Communication Format -- Permits analytic and/or finite difference gradients.
Sparse Least Squares
Provides nonlinearly constrained least squares capability with all of the features of the general sparse NLP. Unique features include:
- Numerically Stable Solution -- Augmented QP format avoids formation of the normal matrix.
- Linear Least Squares -- Special option for linearly constrained (e.g., data fitting) applications
Dense NLP -- Simplified Usage
Provides general-purpose constrained optimization capability for small- to moderate- size applications with limited user requirements. Its features include:
- User Supplies Function Box -- SPRNLP or BARNLP does the rest!
- Hessian Options -- Quasi-Newton (SR1, BFGS, SSQN) and finite difference Newton.
- Finite Difference Jacobian/gradient.
Dense NLP -- Sophisticated Usage
Provides general-purpose constrained optimization capability for small- to moderate- size applications with more complex interface requirements. In addition to capabilities of the simplfied usage version, it uses a Reverse Communication Format that permits the user to supply Jacobian and optionally Hessian information.
Sparse Finite Difference Derivatives
In addition to the optimization tools, this package provides a collection of tools for computing first and second derivatives (Jacobian and Hessian) for sparse matrices. Unique features include:
- Number of perturbations much smaller than number of variables!
- Jacobian/Hessian Evaluation -- These procedures compute first and second derivative information using sparse differences.
- Index Set Construction -- Given matrix sparsity, this procedure determines how to group the variables for efficient differentiation.
Minimum Curvature Data Approxmiation
Multivariate tabular data can be approximated using tensor product spline functions. The software computes spline coefficients to:
- minimize the "wiggles" (curvature)
- interpolate and/or approxmiate table data
The software is fully integrated with the sparse nonlinear programming algorithms.

An unusual casting call has attracted some of Hollywood's biggest moguls. The role: rescuer of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, the film studio struggling under $3.7 billion in debt left over from a 2005 buyout.
Former News Corp. (NWS) President Peter Chernin and Jonathan Dolgen, Viacom's onetime Hollywood chief, recently met with MGM's creditors to discuss the studio. Those creditors must figure out whether it makes more financial sense to sell to Time Warner (TWX), the high bidder in a March auction, or to run the studio themselves. MGM, owner of franchises that include James Bond and Pink Panther, is suffering from a lack of hits and the industrywide slump in DVD sales.
The lenders, which include Highland Capital Management (HCF) and Anchorage Advisors, already have learned one of Hollywood's first lessons: Never bet your own money on the movie business. Loans that traded at 65 percent of face value in January changed hands for as little as 43 percent in late May—valuing the company at $1.6 billion. That's close to Time Warner's $1.5 million high bid, according to people with knowledge of the auction. If the creditors decide to turn it down and go into show business themselves, they may have to put up some $500 million to jump-start production.
"They're trying to understand how they do it," says Clark Hallren, managing partner of the Los Angeles-based entertainment advisory Clear Scope Partners. "Do we need to keep domestic theatrical distribution? Do we continue to outsource home-video distribution? What kind of movies should we make?"
Delays in resolving MGM's fate have further clouded its outlook. Producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael Wilson, who co-own the lucrative 007 brand with MGM, suspended production on the 23rd Bond film in April, citing "uncertainty"about the studio's future. On May 30, director Guillermo del Toro bailed from MGM's upcoming The Hobbit, a J.R.R. Tolkien movie. MGM shares the rights to The Hobbit with Warner Bros. "The film business can be awfully seductive," said former Universal Studios Chairman Frank Biondi, who advised some of the private equity investors who bought MGM for $5 billion in 2005. "I told them then that they had a melting ice cube."
The Broccoli family has urged Warner Bros. to stay in the bidding, said three people with knowledge of the situation. Scott Rowe, a spokesman for Warner Bros., declined to comment, as did Susie Arons, an outside spokeswoman for MGM. Stephanie Wenborn, a spokeswoman for Broccoli and Wilson's London-based Eon Productions, also declined to comment.
With new management, the creditors hope to boost production, cut costs, and eventually seek a price of more than $2 billion for the studio, said two people who have discussed the plan with them. Finding ways to maximize MGM's value won't be easy, says Mark Patricof, managing partner of investment bank MESA. "There are not that many new faces out there with a lot of new ideas for MGM to consider," he says.
Patricof says the creditors should instead sell off MGM's assets, including its rights to the Stargate TV series. The Bond franchise could fetch $750 million alone, according to Douglas Lowell, who advises independent film companies on film financing. Its last five installments averaged $461 million in worldwide ticket sales. Whatever the outcome, the creditors aren't the only ones looking to get paid. Actor Tom Cruise, who signed on with MGM in 2006 and helped raise $500 million to produce films, owns a 30 percent stake of MGM's United Artists film unit, according to one former MGM executive. "Tom is protected and will be fine," says Cruise's attorney, Bert Fields.
The bottom line: MGM's valuable franchises make creditors believe they can profit by reviving the storied studio. It won't be easy. | <urn:uuid:b15918e7-e1c4-4dd3-a83f-095af96124d7> | CC-MAIN-2015-06 | http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/10_24/b4182021754320.htm | 2015-01-26T17:27:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-06/segments/1422115864313.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20150124161104-00149-ip-10-180-212-252.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.95806 | 817 |

Brad Kirk: An academic athlete
BY MEGAN MCCAY
A three-year varsity football player who can make all A's and have an active social life? Sounds impossible, but Brad Kirk proved it true. Brad is a 17-year-old junior at Madison County High School. He has a full schedule of activities and manages to make all A's.
Brad has played football for three years, basketball and track one year each and baseball for two years. He is also involved in Multi-Cultural Club, National Honor Society, FCA, and Pride. Brad is also very active in his church youth group. Outside of school events, Brad enjoys skiing, going to the lake and weightlifting.
Brad plans to attend college, and though he is unsure of where he will go, he likes the University of Georgia and Georgia Tech. He would like to be a computer engineer or do accounting work.
Because of his athletic ability and outstanding motivation to succeed, Brad has excelled in high school both in athletics and academically. When asked if he could give any inspiration to others, he said, "Enthusiasm is contagious - so is the lack of it."

MONTPELIER – After Lt. John Flannigan, commander of the state police’s safety programs, reported a large rise in the number of speeding violations, citations, and injuries, the state of Vermont has made the decision to remove all speed limits from its roads and highways. This controversial move was met with great approval from most Vermonters, who are tired of the government telling people what they can and cannot do.
“There are several reasons for this move,” said Governor Phil Scott. “First and foremost, the laws don’t work. People don’t follow them. Why have laws if people don’t obey them? What’s the point? And if we continue to criminalize speeding, then only criminals will be able to drive fast, which will be a problem for everyone. Take a look at the Constitution. Does the Constitution of The United States of America say anything about speeding? I think you will find it does not. They had some fast horses in those days, and nowhere does the document our country was founded on mention restricting the speed of those mammalian vehicles.”
The governor went on to point out that speed restrictions are a slippery slope, with each mile per hour decrease adding additional safety.
“Sure, we could say 65 instead of 75, but why not say 55? Isn’t that safer? And 45 safer still? How about 20? 10? You know what would be safest? Not moving at all. But I think you can hear how absurd that sounds. And there are states that have lowered their speed limits, and the funny thing is, those states still have accidents and traffic fatalities.”
Gov. Scott said that it was clear to him that people of Vermont want to drive very fast, and that he was elected to serve the people of Vermont. He said he was confident that the voters would support him on this. He also advised drivers who were worried about cars coming at them very quickly to just drive faster so as to get away. “The only way to stop a bad driver from being a speeder,” he said, “is for the good drivers to go even faster.”
Lt. Flannigan could not be reached for comment. | <urn:uuid:b17bf8b3-db44-43ee-a2a6-e810a1e30d64> | CC-MAIN-2023-06 | https://thewinooski.com/index.php/2017/12/26/vermont-decriminalizes-speeding/ | 2023-02-08T03:34:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-06/segments/1674764500671.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20230208024856-20230208054856-00779.warc.gz | en | 0.982033 | 467 |
The real kick in the backside came as I approached the middle of the year. I was getting closer and closer to the Fall season - a time when I knew that I had two big trips coming up - one to Europe and one to the States. I'm a traveling girl. I get on the plane at least once a year. However, this time, I was ready to write a slightly different story for myself. I was ready to feel differently about myself. I had a picture in my mind and in it, I was sitting in a cafe in Paris drinking a latte and feeling successful, feeling at peace because I had a business that was making money even while I was on vacation.
A little bit about this print. The Christmas Carol is my husband’s favorite Christmas movie/book of all time. Every year around Christmas we are forced asked to watch every version of the movie. Some of my kids like this tradition, others do not (I fall into this category). But it’s becoming a tradition and when I saw this book in the digital library I had to use it.
A year passed. 2014 was drawing to a close and I had made a whopping total of...$186.00 Then, in December of 2014, I decided to put together something that was a little more exciting than a single page printable. I created what I called the "Plan, Do, Review" kit. It was super simple but useful, and yes - assembled painstakingly with Picmonkey. (Pssst! I no longer sell that kit in my Etsy store, but you can get it here for free with this secret link ;) >> Click HERE for the Plan, Do, Review kit.) | <urn:uuid:c5432572-9bee-45cb-9422-8809a93ae828> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | https://crafthaul.com/vintage-airplane-printable-vintage-style-laundry-printables.html | 2019-05-26T21:49:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232259757.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20190526205447-20190526231447-00396.warc.gz | en | 0.986066 | 347 |

INDOOR SHOE SAFETY
All parents are reminded that students should have indoor shoes at school. For safety reasons, we expect all students to remove their outdoor shoes and boots to keep the floors as dry as possible. With this in mind, it is important for students to have indoor shoes to keep their feet dry and safe in case we have a drill.
PARENT VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
Looking for parent volunteers! Throughout the month of December and into early January, Mrs. McLachlan, parent volunteers, and Leadership Kids have been organizing and providing games for
students in Kindergarten to grade 3 at recess and lunch in the HPES Multipurpose Room. Ideally, we would like two parent volunteers for each recess and lunch time slot. Right now, we are looking for extra parents to assist at lunch on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays and recess on Tuesdays. The Leadership Kids are extremely supportive with each session, as well as Mrs. McLachlan will assist you with games/ideas. We need you! If you are interested, please contact Mrs. McLachlan at Heather Park Elementary School or contact the PAC as soon as possible. Thank you.
SPRUCE KINGS CHEER OFF
On Friday, January 14th, all Heather Park students are invited to the Prince George Coliseum to cheer on the Spruce Kings and show their school spirit. Tickets to the game went home with students last week and today. The Spruce Kings have also provided adult VIP tickets for parents willing to attend the game and bring their kids. These tickets will be available at the office on a first come, first serve basis (2 per parent). Please come out and have some fun and show that Heather Park rocks!!
SCHOOL TOURS FOR PARENTS
Mr Fleck and Mr Watt will conduct tours for parents interested in seeing our school in action. This may be of special interest to parents considering bringing their children here for French Immersion. Tours will take place at 11:00 AM on Mondays and Wednesday on the following days in January: 17, 19, 24, 26 and 31. Please contact Bev Schreiner in our office to book a tour
BASKETBALL STARTS TODAY
There will be a meeting after school for grade 6/7 basketball players. Practices will be on Mondays and Wednesdays after school from 2:45 to 3:30.
We still need parent coaches and helpers. Mr Fleck will be running this program, but more adults are needed to ensure success. We will host a basketball tournament here in February 11th for schools around the city.

New York City neighborhoods are in a state of constant flux as demographics shift and real estate prices soar. But it's rare the city gets a brand new district.
Hudson Yards is the largest private real estate development ever built in the U.S., and it's giving a once desolate stretch of Manhattan a major face-lift. Construction has been gradual as giant cranes and steel frames hover over the Hudson River on Manhattan's west side. However, this city within a city will eventually feature 100 shops and restaurants, a new interactive artwork by Thomas Heatherwick, and 14 acres of open public space. The area, owned by Related Companies and Oxford Properties Group, encompasses 17 million square feet of commercial and residential space between 10th and 12th avenues, from West 30th to West 34th.
Overwhelmed? After assessing each of the project's components, we've highlighted Hudson Yard's groundbreaking firsts below.
Move over Empire State Building: At 1,050 feet, 30 Hudson Yards (the tallest tower pictured above) has the highest outdoor observation deck in the city. This glass and steel skyscraper will also be the second tallest building in New York (only 1 World Trade Center rises above it). Amenities like Number 30's convenient underground connection to the new subway station for the 7 line have attracted tenants like CNN, HBO, Wells Fargo, and Warner Bros.
London-based designer Thomas Heatherwick is creating the structure expected to be New York's next great architectural icon, the Vessel. Consisting of 154 stairwells that interconnect to form 80 landings, the space engages visitors while literally "lifting them up." Still under construction, the Vessel will ultimately weigh 600 tons, with 2,500 climbable steps. The price tag on the project? $150 million.
10 Hudson Yards opened in May 2016. The office building is the first of its kind to connect directly to the High Line. Designed by Kohn Pederson Fox Associates, the structure stands at 895 feet, with sixteen floors reserved for anchor tenant, Coach. Other companies set to move into the space include L'Oreal, Sidewalk Labs, and the Boston Consulting Group.
In addition to the city's first Neiman Marcus, the Shops at Hudson Yards — a million-square foot retail center designed by Elkus Manfredi — will also include seven floors of stores and restaurants. Chefs include Thomas Keller, Costas Spiliadias, and Jose Andres.
A sure-to-be-beautiful public garden designed by Thomas Woltz sits atop an active rail yard. To deal with the heat let off by the trains, builders included a complex underground system to keep plants cool. The park will use 15 fans, similar to those in jet engines, to supply fresh air at 45 mph.
In collaboration with Rockwell group, Diller Scofidio & Renfro's cultural center may be more innovative than practical. The Shed's claim to fame relies on its retractable performance space. Through its flexible design system, the building's shell actually contracts and expands to provide various theatrical settings (in addition to two galleries and an array of adaptable interior rooms). Pictured above, the 200,000 square foot theater stands at the base of 15 Hudson Yards — the site's first residential structure.
According to a press release, Number 55 (the architectural deviant of Hudson Yards) was inspired by "soho and early modernism." In a seminal collaboration between architect Kevin Roche and A. Eugene Kohn of KPF, the office building resulted in a distinct metallic grid facade, varying from the popular glass exteriors. Most notably, however, is the site's backyard — Hudson Yard Park.
The site's first residential building, 15 Hudson Yards, has just launched sales. Another collaboration from Diller Scofidio Renfro and Rockwell Group yields luxurious units complemented by a personalized interior design scheme (essentially a choice between light or dark finishes). With 24-hour concierge service and stunning views, its condominiums are apt to draw a large number of buyers. Though shorter than its neighboring buildings, the structure is closest to numerous amenities, including the Shed and adjacent park. (And, of course, there's also direct access to the High Line.)
In 2015, Equinox announced plans to open 75 fitness focused hotels around the world. Its first? 35 Hudson Yards. The David Childs/SOM–designed tower will serve as both a hotel and condominium. | <urn:uuid:4dd85975-077c-4b97-895d-422f0bf469c0> | CC-MAIN-2021-25 | https://www.townandcountrymag.com/leisure/arts-and-culture/news/g2925/hudson-yards/ | 2021-06-14T03:18:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-25/segments/1623487611320.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20210614013350-20210614043350-00503.warc.gz | en | 0.936949 | 921 |

New Website Map Shows Where Parking is Available at Sacramento International Airport
SACRAMENTO - Customers can now view parking availability and locations at Sacramento International Airport by visiting the parking page on the airport website.
The parking page graphic uses a green-yellow-red scale, with green indicating ample availability, yellow showing limited availability and red indicating almost full.
The map shows the number of spaces available at each parking facility. When a lot or the garage is full, the map will show it as closed.
Maps are updated dynamically on the website and are refreshed every five minutes. Passengers are encouraged to check the website for the latest parking information before they enter the airport, as parking conditions change quickly.
There is no app available with this parking information; it is only available via the airport website, and can be viewed on a smart phone or tablet.
The map was developed in response to customer requests for real-time parking information prior to their arrival at the airport. The economy lot tends to fill to capacity on summer weekends and holidays while the parking garage often fills to capacity on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays during the peak months for business travel: February-June and September-November.
The Sacramento County Department of Airports is responsible for planning, developing, operating and maintaining the county’s four airports: Sacramento International Airport, Executive Airport, Mather Airport and Franklin Field. Sacramento International Airport offers more than 155 daily nonstop flights on 12 domestic and international carriers to 36 destinations. The regional economic impact of the Sacramento County Department of Airports is more than $4 billion annually.

Organic / Biodynamic® Philosophy
Eminence Organics is passionate about using the best natural, organic and Biodynamic® ingredients to bring our Customers the healthiest and most effective skin care products.
- Biodynamic® Ingredients
Originating from a balanced, holistic view of the universe, Biodynamic® farming practices regard the farm, the plants and the animals as a self-supporting ecosystem that lives and breathes. It renders fruits and herbs that are unusually high in nutrients and active compounds then harnesses these potent ingredients into a collection of products that are the ultimate in pureness and results-driven skin care.
Seeds are planted and crops are harvested following the lunar cycle so that when the tides are high, roots receive the most moisture and goodness.
As an alternative to harsh pesticides, the farm uses herbal teas and plant friendly honey traps from local bees as natural insect repellents ensuring that all Biodynamic® ingredients are farmed as naturally as possible.
Biodynamic® ingredients are void of all chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Only natural medicinal herbs and mineral composts are used to enhance the soil and ignite powerful growth forces in the plants from roots to tips.
- Organic Ingredients
Healthy skin is a reflection of what you feed your body, inside and out. That’s why we source premium ingredients from organic farms worldwide to ensure our products are the purest and most potent.
Organic skin care is rooted in a holistic approach to farming and production. Unfortunately, modern agriculture robs the land of nutrients and often results in genetically modified ingredients. Choosing organic ingredients ensures that there are no harsh chemicals added. Our products do not contain harmful chemicals like added Parabens, Petrolatum, Mineral Oils, Propylene Glycol or Sodium Lauryl Sulfate.
- Natural Ingredients
Our products are made with fresh fruit pulps, plants and exotic spices. This makes them incredibly rich in nutrients, so they are not only the healthiest choice for you, but also the most effective, results-oriented collection around. Vitamins are captured in their all-natural fresh base, offering dramatic results as actual seeds, pulps and peels impart regenerative and healing powers that only nature can produce. The precious ingredients are combined with thermal hot spring water to create products that contain potent healing and beautifying properties. | <urn:uuid:abdadb1b-9b83-4cbd-aedd-983ba458c404> | CC-MAIN-2020-05 | https://eminenceorganics.com/ca/content/organic-biodynamic-philosophy | 2020-01-24T17:24:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-05/segments/1579250624328.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20200124161014-20200124190014-00106.warc.gz | en | 0.905578 | 478 |

On January 28th, the League of Women Voters (LWV) sponsored a community forum on the hurdles and injustices experienced by ex-felons as they attempt to transition from prison life to re-entry into society. The event, attended by over 70 people, was co-sponsored by the Citizens for Justice Options, a voter committee of the LWV, and the ISU Criminal Justice Department.
The panel included:
Malcolm Young, nationally renowned expert on prison populations and current planner for Illinois prison release practices
Craig Findley, Illinois Prison Review Board
Jim Tusek, lawyer in the McLean County Public Defender’s office, and Board member of the Joy Care Center
Benny Lee, Community Liaison for the Illinois prisons through TASC (Treatment Alternative for a Safer Community)
Is there Justice for Ex-felons?
Three themes stood out during the evening’s presentations and discussion: the socially-imposed, oftentimes discriminatory, obstacles in the way of ex-felons’ successful re-entry into society, what can be done to ease that transition, and what can be done to decrease crime and incarceration in the first place.
The obstacles and discrimination faced by ex-felons were best related by Benny Lee, an ex-felon and former gang leader, who overcame his ex-felon status to eventually achieve a PhD and professorship at Northeastern University.
[For a brief summary of Benny Lee’s career, visit WeGotNextChicago.com. Benny Lee tells his story as a former gang leader of the Vice Lords, and subsequent experience in incarceration, for the Chicago Gang History Project.]
Mr. Lee stressed that ex-felons are the only class of Americans almost entirely unprotected from discrimination, from workplace discrimination to unequal treatment under the law.
When looking for a job, ex-felons find it extremely difficult because they must admit to a previous felony on employment applications. Employers oftentimes will not consider ex-felons for a position, regardless of the specific circumstances, so ex-felons face a no-win choice: tell the truth on an application and be guaranteed of it not being considered, or lie with the aim of having a job for a few weeks before being found out and fired.
Panelists and audience participants commented on the complexity of addressing the employment issue. One suggestion included a prohibition against requiring job applicants to admit to a felony on applications, only allowing employers the rights to ask that question in a subsequent interview. This solution would cut down on felons’ applications being thrown immediately in the trash bin. Another idea involved providing more tax incentives to those companies that hire ex-felons.
The list of rights and privileges denied to ex-felons, taken for granted by most of us, is quite long and undoubtedly surprising to most people.
Under legislation passed in Congress, ex-felons are prevented from living in government-subsidized Section 8 housing, which oftentimes means that they cannot return to live with their families upon release. They are also prohibited from taking out financial aid loans from the government, an odious law that prevents the acquisition of education and skills. Benny Lee also pointed out that felons cannot apply for over 80 different sorts of licenses, some of which are required to start a small business.
The one bright spot in Illinois is that ex-felons, immediately upon release, can vote in elections. In many other states, ex-felons are denied the franchise for a numbers of years; in a few states, they are denied the right to vote for the rest of their lives.
Another topic discussed on what can be done, besides the services and aid that can be given to ex-felons in the here-and-now, was how to reduce incarceration, which for decades has led to serious prison overcrowding.
Malcolm Young, nationally known expert on prison populations and current planner for Illinois prison release practices, stressed that successful re-entry programs must focus on minimizing incarceration in the first place, which is extremely important in a country with the highest prison population, and funding community programs for ex-felon re-entry into society.
Many inmates are in prison for short sentences for having committed a series of non-violent crimes, many of them drug and substance abuse related. During and after their incarceration, which to a great extent is continued preparation for how to be a criminal, $25,000 – $100,000 is spent annually per inmate on their rehabilitation with marginal, disappointing, re-entry success rates. According to Mr. Young, that immense amount money is spent ineffectively. Rather than be largely wasted on the inefficient prison results, it should be spent on community diversion programs to prevent incarceration in the first place.
The illuminating discussion between panelists and audience members spoke on these issues and others. Craig Finley, member of the Illinois Prison Review board, provided his expertise on the Illinois parole system. Jim Tusek, lawyer and board member of JoyCare, spoke of the transition services his organization provides to ex-felons. Below are further resources related to the panel and topic.

“Joy Care Center operates with 100% volunteers offering guidance to ex-offenders upon their release from prison. We complete a Client Assessment and set goals for transitioning from incarceration to life on the outside.. Whenever possible we assign a mentor to routinely make contact with the individual to monitor progress towards achieving goals The mentoring process is generally no less than 6 months and can be up to a year depending on the Client’s capacity to become independent by getting employment, etc.”

The Bank of Boston has disbanded its small public finance group, according to a spokeswoman for the bank.
"We have decided to exit this market and will no longer seek to be a senior manager on negotiated, tax-exempt financing," Constance Hubbell, the spokeswoman, said Wednesday. The decision was made in mid-June, she said.
Hubbell said the four people in the group have been reassigned within the bank, and that the move would result in no layoffs.
She said that Kathryn E. Cade, formerly managing director of public finance, is now the director of asset liability management for the bank. The bank had no comment on where the other three have been reassigned, she said.
Hubbell said declining underwriting spreads, the stiff competition for senior underwriting slots, and "the dominant role played by large investment banking firms in public finance" were factors in the bank's decision to close the department.
"The bank will continue to bid for competitive state and local general obligation bonds, trade municipal paper, and negotiate in the underwriting of bonds," she said. "But we will not seek to be senior manager."
The bank's corporate, government, and custody departments will not be affected by the move, Hubbell said.
Although the Bank of Boston was not in the top 100 underwriters of long-term debt in 1992, it was ranked 35th in 1992 in short-term debt, according to Securities Data Co. In that year, it underwrote 29 issues totaling $ 113 million. | <urn:uuid:282130b0-79a4-42ba-ad36-7bd3005f4d68> | CC-MAIN-2018-05 | https://www.americanbanker.com/news/bank-of-boston-drops-public-finance-group-members-reassigned | 2018-01-17T11:32:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-05/segments/1516084886895.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20180117102533-20180117122533-00454.warc.gz | en | 0.978817 | 312 |
You’ve got the itch. You’ve been thinking about it for weeks, and you’re ready. Ready for adventure, ready for freedom, ready to start exploring and experiencing the outdoors. But you’re not an experienced camper – though you know you want to do your traveling in an Airstream, you’re not an expert. Or perhaps you’ve spent summer after summer in the woods, mountains, or coast – but with twins and a dog, the old tent just won’t fit your family anymore. You want to make sure you make the right choice.
At Airstream, we’re passionate about enjoying the outdoors through travel and camping. We want to find ways to spread the gospel, so to speak, of trailer camping to as many people as possible. The concept can be intimidating to someone who’s new at it, though.
When you’re on the road, there are certain things you have to have. You need comfort. You need economy. You need style. You need safety. But getting all of that in one, self-contained package isn’t easy. Usually something must be sacrificed – but not with Airstream and Mercedes-Benz’s Interstate touring coach.
Along with our trailers, there are tons of other things that can make your time on the road great. One is a pink flamingo – yes, the fun, eye catching lawn ornament, which since its creation in 1957 has become one of the most ubiquitous yard decorations across America. Pink flamingos have also become an important part of Airstream culture, as many Airstreamers have flamingos that travel the country with them, to be displayed at every stop. It’s a way to call out to other Airstreamers and enhance our community.
At Airstream we’re very proud of our construction processes and product quality, and why wouldn’t we be? Approximately 70 percent of the Airstream travel trailers ever built are still on the road. And you can expect that a new Airstream is just as tough as one that founder Wally Byam himself could have designed.
The Airstream name has existed for nearly a century, and when you look back to the beginning of the company, there’s something you notice. While there have been numerous advances in technology, construction, and style since 1931, we have maintained basically the same look when it comes to our trailers. It’s not because we’re stubborn – it’s because that design has stood the test of time, and helped us outlive most of our competition.
When people think about Airstream, one of the first things that come to mind is the iconic exterior design that creates a common thread through all of our models. The aluminum paneling that adorns every Airstream is as much a part of us as the name Airstream. But what happens when the aluminum comes inside.
Airstream has a commitment to sustainability and managing our impact on the environment. In addition to providing owners with a unique blend of comfort, utility, and durability, Airstream is “Certified Green” by TRA. The status is highly coveted in the recreational vehicle industry and shows that vehicle owners can enjoy travel while limiting their adverse effect on the outdoors. | <urn:uuid:b30ae9b6-af94-421e-8d82-18d177a28fca> | CC-MAIN-2021-04 | https://info.airstream.com/stories/topic/airstream/page/2 | 2021-01-21T14:52:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-04/segments/1610703524858.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20210121132407-20210121162407-00725.warc.gz | en | 0.96303 | 693 |
Centris Federal Credit Union in Omaha, Neb., is turning to kiosk technology to lure the underbanked.
"We see kiosks as solving a problem for the underserved community," says Laura Castro de Cortes, the credit union's vice president of alternative financial services. "We can stay open longer and be in more locations, so that people can perform financial transactions on their own time and not on our time. And we can also provide service in their own language."
The underbanked segment is growing in importance given its size (more than one in 10 Americans are classified as underbanked) and the pressure on financial institutions to raise revenue.
Centris has deployed eight self-service bilingual (English and Spanish) kiosks at branches and grocery stores in the Omaha area. It hopes the machines, which combine several financial services into a single interface, will be attractive to people who have to go to several places or use different processes to do things like pay their rent or cash their paychecks.
The boxes are provided by Nexxo. Among other things they allow customers to cash checks, order and load prepaid cards and top up phone minutes. The kiosks allow single-screen navigation and single login for all of these services. There's also a customer relationship management piece that allows information on repeat consumers to be accumulated for potential marketing and advisory purposes.
Consumers register at the kiosks and use the touch screen to conduct transactions, most of which can be completed in less than one minute and are remembered for that consumer on return visits. Phones on the kiosks let users contact live customer service.
Centris, which has assets of $500 million and 75,000 members, plans to soon offer a general-purpose reloadable card to provide easier swipe access at the kiosks, and serve as a gateway to a broader relationship with the credit union.
In the past few weeks Nexxo has deployed the terminals for Carver Federal Savings Bank in New York. The Harlem bank put them mainly in communities with low or moderate income.
Nexxo's platform integrates with financial institutions' back-end processes. The company hopes this will allow a range of financial services to be delivered to underbanked consumers at a lower cost to both the bank and consumer, and the integration also allows the platform to operate cross-functionally, doing bill pay, deposit and withdrawals at the same time.
"Underbanked services are very stovepiped," says Craig McDonald, senior vice president of sales and business development for Nexxo. "You have a check-cashing interface, a bill-pay interface, etc., and all of these services have their own siloed countertop … someone comes into the store to do a money transfer, stands in line, waits as the clerk fills out a form, conducts the transaction, and the customer comes in the next day and the whole process starts over again."
In the next few weeks Nexxo plans to expand its underbanked mobile services to include mobile remote deposit capture, and a desktop interface for Web banking is expected to be ready in the next few months. McDonald, whose company has a strategic partnership with Chexar-which is the processor behind Nexxo's check cashing transactions-says the ability to remember transactions lets the institution leverage information from prior transactions to suggest financial behaviors that improve overall financial health, which can be used to deepen relationships.
"The machines are easy to use, and people can go there and access services at any time," de Cortes says.
The credit union will also make call-center staff available — and on-site staff at certain times — to instruct consumers on how to use the machines and offer money management advice, building relationships that will eventually enable some consumers to become full members.
"One of the things that's a big turnoff in our community is the fact that some financial transactions take a long time, or that the institution is not accessible. This will hopefully address that," de Cortes says. | <urn:uuid:51de1991-a907-48c0-bc1d-2a4e31079592> | CC-MAIN-2015-35 | http://www.americanbanker.com/issues/177_116/centris-kiosk-underbanked-1050164-1.html | 2015-09-02T15:01:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-35/segments/1440645265792.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20150827031425-00035-ip-10-171-96-226.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.953273 | 820 |
Sound: Swedish act Dungen could have taken the easy route on it's latest album by giving another helping of the guitar-driven psychedelia that was successfully received a few years back on the album Ta Det Lugnt. But rather than making the new record 4 a carbon copy, primary writer, multi-instrumentalist, and frontman Gustav Ejstes has made what is essentially an anti-rock record for the most part. There are a few tracks here and there that are chock full of effects-laden guitar solos, but things have taken a decidedly mellow turn on 4. If you're a fan of Dungen and don't mind Ejstes bringing out the flute as much as the guitar, then you'll appreciate 4's eclectic mix.
While Ejstes is essentially the band Dungen, the usual key players have shown up to offer their talents (Reine Fiske on guitar; Johan Holmegard on drums; Mattias Gustavsson on bass; Anna Jarvinen providing background vocals; and Fredrik Swahn on bass as well). That leaves Ejstes performing plenty of other instruments, with strings, flute, and percussion all on the list. Pretty much every song with lyrics on 4 is performed in Ejstes' native tongue of Swedish, but a language barrier is never a roadblock in listening to the record. There's so much going on instrumentally that the arrangements are usually in the spotlight - particularly since they seem to go in a direction that is akin to the easy-listening genre at times.
The opening track "Stt Att Se" is the perfect example, namely because it truly feels more at home in a smoky jazz club than any rock venue. The first minute is essentially a jazz track with it's cymbal-heavy percussion and subdued piano chords. There is a retrained electric guitar in Stt Att Se, and that in itself brings out more of a psychedelic sound to the song. It makes for a strange, dreamy combination when you combine the psychedalia with the jazz, and it's a suitable opener for a record that tends to never stay in one place stylistically.
For those who are fans of the Panda era of Dungen, you will get a few tracks that hearken back to that sound. Samtidigt 1 fades in as if to sound like the song has already been playing for quite some time. There's a distinct Jimi Hendrix vibe to the song, which is basically a rocking, 3-minute guitar solo. Between the mixing style and the guitar effects, you would almost think you've accidentally started listening to a Hendrix record - which is a good thing. The song's other instrumental counterpart, Samtidigt 2 takes on a completely different style in terms of the guitar work, but it's still equally impressive. At times you can hear a Santana influence, but that would be pigeonholing a solo that does go in a variety of different musical directions.
For as cool as those instrumentals are, 4 will likely test your own musical boundaries. Mlers Finest and Ingenting r Sig Likt are musically solid compositions, but they are truly as laid-back as they come. In fact, some might even compare Mlers Finest to elevator music. Honestly, it's impressive that Dungen went out on a limb and included the flute as such an integral part of their music. Will it click with everyone? Probably not, but Ejstes still deserves credit for not giving us the expected. // 7
Lyrics: While there is likely a source out there that does provide the full Swedish translations in full, we weren't provided with the specifics at the time of the review. There are several sung portions of 4, but they usually end up taking a backseat to the creativity that is happening via the instrumentals. // 10
Overall Impression: It's hard to immediately embrace the sound on 4, particularly if you were a fan of 2004's Ta Det Lugnt. Yes, Jethro Tull has whipped out the flute on multiple occasions and showed it was a feasible tool in a heavy album, but Dungen usually doesn't use the instrument as a means to rock. Ejstes has written some very mellow, although lovely, music on 4, and it's a noticeable change even for an experimental outfit like Dungen. // 8 | <urn:uuid:05240388-edbb-46e1-bb3e-f0e142bf933c> | CC-MAIN-2016-36 | https://www.ultimate-guitar.com/reviews/compact_discs/dungen/4/index.html | 2016-08-27T20:48:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-36/segments/1471982925602.40/warc/CC-MAIN-20160823200845-00026-ip-10-153-172-175.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.972682 | 915 |

Marcel P. Black - Cry Freedom ft. KP Soul
“Marcel P. Black originally came to Baton Rouge by way of Oklahoma, but has established himself as one of the city’s hip-hop leaders over the past decade. In addition to cultivating the local scene, Black has become an in-demand act on the regional circuit. Black’s rise has been an unlikely one, creating conscious rap in a Baton Rouge scene largely bereft of such content.”
Baton Rouge veteran emcee Marcel P. Black has already received high praise from some of the most well respected names in Hip-Hop. Most recently Marcel was featured on XXL.com’s list “12 Baton Rouge Rappers You Should Know,” also highlighted on HipHopDX.com’s “Up Next By DX” feature. Marcel regularly tours the Southeast, Gulf Coast, and Southwest, appearing at Atlanta’s A3C Festival, as well as other festivals in Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi, & Tennessee.
Next to Marcel’s great music and work ethic, his claim to fame is his live show. A3C.com once describes Marcel’s performance style as “Baptist Deacon meets Gangster Rapper meets Malcom X.” Marcel has shared stages with KRS-One, Common, Jay Electronica, Mobb Deep, Run The Jewelz, Kevin Gates, & Slum Village, as well as underground heavyweights like Supastition, Sean Price (R.I.P.), Substantial, Killah Priest, Mickey Factz, and MegaRan.
Marcel recently released a universal critically acclaimed album titled “Cry Freedom,” that featured the likes of Supastition, Substantial, Tef Poe, and Mr. Franklin a.k.a Kamikaze from Crooked Lettaz. Marcel’s style is what he describes “non-traditional conscious Hip-Hop,” a style born out of his gospel roots, street gang influences, and Black Empowerment teachings.
Marcel has always used his platform as an emcee to bring light to social justice issues, from organizing benefits for National World Aids Day, and raising money for the children of Alton Sterling, to speaking on panels and lecturing on the intersection between social justice and Hip-Hop in collegiate and high school classrooms. Marcel has worked in the field as a youth development worker for 15 years, most recently as a mental health counselor. The husband/father/artist/activist/youth worker’s goal is to use Hip-Hop culture as a conduit to freedom . | <urn:uuid:afc3ce83-889e-42b2-9479-c7e9f75b8eb0> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.secretstages.net/marcel-p-black-baton-rouge-la/ | 2020-07-10T00:18:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655902377.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20200709224746-20200710014746-00362.warc.gz | en | 0.949562 | 559 |
In This Chapter
In your everyday life, you perform all sorts of activities using objects. You use a fork to eat; you drive your car to reach your office; and you spend money to buy things. Each of these objects has its own characteristics. There are hundreds of car models; they have different colors, different engines, and different accessories, but they all are cars. Object-oriented programming (OOP) is similar to this view of life. In fact, OOP relies on objects; for example, you can have an object that enables working on files or another object that ... | <urn:uuid:8d0223ea-a5ff-421f-ba61-5c5690ee6c43> | CC-MAIN-2018-34 | https://www.safaribooksonline.com/library/view/visual-basic-2012/9780133255843/ch07.html | 2018-08-15T19:32:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-34/segments/1534221210249.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20180815181003-20180815201003-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.956422 | 119 |

I'm trying to compare proportions in the same sample (e.g, rates of

could use svylc or svytest, but the only way I can do is after svymean,
resulting in an assumption of normality. Any ideas?
If your sample size is small, then it might possibly be better to restrict
the analysis to paired responses that are different, and calculate a
Binomial Clopper-Pearson CI using -ci- with the -binomial- option to
estimate the ratio of (1,0) responses to (0,1) responses. See -help ci-.
I hope this helps.

NEW DELHI, Oct 30: India has cut the floor price for exports of wheat from government warehouses by 13 per cent, a government source said on Wednesday, in a move to boost stalled shipments from the world’s second-biggest producer of the grain.
Higher supplies from India, struggling with big wheat stocks, could dampen benchmark prices in Chicago which have just bounced off a near one-month low.
With the minimum price at which the government will sell cut to $260 a tonne plus taxes, traders and analysts believe the wheat will be competitive with rival supplies from the Black Sea region that had edged out Indian grain.
“It has been decided to reduce the floor export price for wheat to $260 per tonne,” a government source told reporters after a cabinet meeting. The government sold nearly 4.5 million tonnes of wheat — about 5pc of annual output — earlier this year but since then all bids in state tenders have been below the previous $300 per tonne minimum price for government stocks.
India, which lifted a ban on exports in 2011, mainly sells wheat with 11pc protein content. For buyers in the Middle East, Indian open market wheat costs $305-$310 a tonne C&F, while the same variety from the Black Sea region is available at around $315 a tonne C&F, traders said. “Indian supplies will now be viable in global markets,” said
Rejoinder Narang, an adviser at New Delhi-based trading company Emmsons International.
India’s export volumes are paltry in a global trade of nearly 140m tonnes, but if global supplies tighten, they will help meet the needs of the biggest buyers of lower-quality wheat in the Middle East and Africa.
Guaranteed prices to farmers have ensured consecutive bumper harvests since 2007, pushing up stocks to nearly three times the target level on Oct 1. Rotting stocks under tarpaulin sheets have triggered criticism of the government.
India buys rice and wheat from local farmers to supply subsidised food to the poor and has recently expanded the food welfare programme to feed 70pc of the 1.2 billion population.—Reuters | <urn:uuid:c69a7f99-ce71-450a-a78c-31e6e0dbcb8e> | CC-MAIN-2015-32 | http://www.dawn.com/news/1053004/india-cuts-wheat-export-floor-price | 2015-08-04T22:15:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-32/segments/1438042992201.62/warc/CC-MAIN-20150728002312-00209-ip-10-236-191-2.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.947223 | 450 |
The Lord Of The Rings Online Comes To Mac
6:00 AM | Cord Kruse | 20 comments
Turbine has officially announced the launch of a Mac beta client for The Lord of the Rings Online. The online game incarnation of the classic Lord of the Rings fantasy series is a free to play MMO which gives players the chance to build a character from one of four races, and seven unique classes.
“We are really excited to open up the world of Middle-earth to Mac,” said Kate Paiz, Executive Producer of The Lord of the Rings Online. “We’ve just launched our biggest expansion yet and we’re happy to welcome gamers to play the game natively on Mac OS X for the first time ever.”The Unofficial Apple Weblog recently posted an interview with Turbine's VP of Product Development, Craig Alexander about the game's transition to Mac. Among other things Alexander discussed the company's decision to build a native mac port in-house.
The Lord of the Rings Online™ is the ultimate adventure! This award-winning free-to-play massively multiplayer online role-playing game delivers an interactive experience brimming with life and filled with the familiar people, places, and monsters from the most famous fantasy of all time.
Turbine first considered bringing Lord of the Rings Online to Mac back when the game went free-to-play, said Alexander, but the reason it took so long was because the company decided to build a native port for the game rather than depend on emulation or other similar methods. "Trying to outsource the task just didn't make sense," said Alexander.Learn more at the links below.

Kate Paiz is the executive producer of the game, and she said that because the Mac client is native, it'll be the exact same game on the Mac as it is on the PC. "It'll all just work natively," she told TUAW. "The Mac stuff will work through the same patcher." The Mac game itself won't have any extra features or experiences exclusive to the Mac, but Paiz said the team always tries to figure out how to best welcome new players, and was thinking about the Mac client even while developing the game's latest expansion, Riders of Rohan, released a few weeks ago.

Alamosa School District is so short on educators that all it might take is the quarantine of a single class to leave many kids without a teacher.
That’s largely because the southern Colorado district of 2,178 students is battling a significant K-12 substitute teacher shortage. Coronavirus fears have chased a large percentage of the sub pool away, Interim Superintendent Marsha Cody said.
“We actually need more subs than ever before, when we have less,” Cody said.
COVID-19 IN COLORADO
The latest from the coronavirus outbreak in Colorado:
- MAP: Known cases in Colorado.
>> FULL COVERAGE
It’s a problem other Colorado districts can sympathize with as the state faces a substitute teacher shortage that also reflects a burgeoning teacher shortage. The pandemic is only making it worse. In Denver Public Schools, the largest district in Colorado, a little more than half of the teachers active in the substitute pool said they were willing to take in-person assignments this fall.
Now, districts are scrambling to figure out how to cover teacher absences and where to find more subs. And they’re being forced to get creative.
In one district, parents are raising their hands to sub to help prevent a shortage. Other districts, including Alamosa, are looking within, at their own teacher and paraprofessional workforce, offering a financial incentive to those staff members who step up and fill in when needed. And in some districts, administrators who still hold a teaching license are adding the role of substitute to their many responsibilities.
The state’s substitute teacher shortage isn’t far off from a crisis, said Kallie Leyba, president of both the American Federation of Teachers Colorado and the Douglas County Federation.
Read more education stories from The Colorado Sun.
“We’re not there yet, but I think it’s right around the corner,” Leyba said.
It’s not clear exactly how many subs Colorado’s 178 school districts need this school year. The Colorado Department of Education does not collect any substitute placement information, spokesman Jeremy Meyer said. All subs are locally hired and assigned by districts, Boards of Cooperative Educational Services and charter schools.
But the shortage of subs has been an issue for several years in Colorado. Leyba last taught during the 2012-13 school year and recalls the shortage impacting classrooms then.
It’s growing this fall as the pandemic sidelines many older substitutes.
“A good portion of our substitute teachers are retired teachers, and so they are also the people who are at a higher risk for complications from COVID just because of their age,” Leyba said. “So many of them are not able to take that risk by going into a school building with a bunch of kids and exposing themselves.”
The risk is only enhanced by substitutes not operating within a school’s cohorting system. Many Colorado schools are using cohorting this fall to contain groups of students: Smaller groups of students stick together and avoid interacting with other groups to lessen the chances of exposure.
Because their jobs require them to move from classroom to classroom, substitutes are “breaking those cohorts just left and right,” Leyba said.
Other factors are compounding the substitute shortage, creating a complicated scenario in which districts have an increased need for subs at the same time they’re up against a decreased supply, she said. One of those factors: new requirements that teachers take sick days for symptoms that in the past wouldn’t demand that they stay home.
For example, if a teacher has a cold or bad allergies, they must err on the side of caution and avoid coming to school this year, just in case they have the coronavirus. They can’t return to the classroom until they’ve taken a COVID-19 test and received a negative result.
Additionally, under guidelines from the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment, teachers who were exposed to the virus in their school or community must take time off to quarantine, even if they’re technically healthy, Leyba said.
The union president worries that some Colorado schools will have to close to in-person learning when teacher positions can’t be covered by substitutes.
“I think we’ll hit the tipping point where we can’t stay open,” she said.
“All hands on deck”
Alamosa’s substitute teacher shortage isn’t a new problem, but the numbers this year are particularly troublesome. The sub pool has been sliced in half to 25, Cody said.
Before the pandemic, the shortage of subs was influenced, in part, by the low pay. The Alamosa district pays subs who are retired teachers $110 per day. Subs who have a bachelor’s degree and are licensed teachers or have a substitute teaching license receive $100 per day, and subs who have a high school diploma and their substitute teaching license are paid $90 per day.
The time and effort it takes to get a substitute teaching license is also a barrier, Cody said.
Similar deterrents contributed to Denver Public Schools having vacancies in its classrooms before the pandemic. Working as a substitute teacher is a tough job, said Katie Clymer, executive director of talent for the district. It’s especially challenging, she said, for a sub to come into a classroom and build community with students they don’t know.
As DPS, with about 92,000 students and 160 district-run schools, transitioned to remote learning in the spring as a result of the pandemic, the district removed about 450 inactive subs from its roster. That left about 750 substitutes, Clymer said. From that pool, about 400 are willing to work in person this fall, according to a survey conducted over the summer.
The most successful schools bring their subs — DPS calls them “guest teachers” — into their community and essentially treat them like any teacher. DPS allows individual schools to hire and retain additional staff who are used as guest teachers, which a few have done. Working consistently in the same building helps provide job stability for subs and, because they’re familiar and readily available, creates the opportunity to earn more. Guest subs can even qualify for health insurance through the district if they work at least 20 hours a week.
DPS guest teachers who are new to the district earn $118 per day. The pay increases to $150 per day after 50 days. Retired teachers earn $128 per day, which rises to $164 per day after working 50 days.
There are other hurdles to building up a full force of DPS guest teachers. Some subs want to work near their homes or in schools where they previously taught. Some are willing to teach only specific grade levels, Clymer said. DPS also often needs guest teachers who can teach in Spanish for English language learners.
Even with subs available, it’s not as simple as placing any guest teacher into any school.
Because of health guardrails provided by Denver Public Health and guidelines the district has adopted around cohorting and the number of adults who can interact with a group, guest teachers will only be allowed to work at one school, Clymer said. Schools are going to have to be thoughtful about how they use each guest teacher so that they can still adhere to all the cohorting guidelines.
Additional guidelines allow only four adults to be assigned to a cohort of students at any given time. DPS is recommending that schools include a guest teacher as one of those four people, Clymer said.
The district has assigned at least one guest teacher to every school, and two to some schools, she said, and it continues to hire more guest teachers. As the pool increases, DPS is prioritizing placing them in early childhood education schools since they opened to students first. Elementary schools are another focus since they’re also opening to kids sooner, followed by attention to larger schools where higher numbers of staff could potentially be out for absences related to being quarantined, or not related to COVID-19 at all.
Before the pandemic, DPS was typically able to fill about 90% of the classrooms that needed subs on any given day. The district doesn’t have a firm target number of guest teacher positions it’s now looking to fill, Clymer said. “We could easily take another 300-400 … if not even more.”
In Alamosa, where retired teachers overwhelmingly decided not to return to the substitute corps this year, the district will pay teachers an additional $25 to forgo their planning period and sub in a classroom where needed, said Cody, the interim superintendent.
It’s not an ideal solution, she said, as teachers rely on that time to plan their own lessons.
This fall, the district also introduced a stipend for experienced paraprofessionals willing to step in as subs. Alamosa will pay any paraprofessional who has been hired in the district and worked for 90 days $100 to cover the cost of getting a substitute license.
It’s another way to tackle the severe sub shortage, Cody said, but it’s also not a perfect approach as the district would like to see them supporting students in their cohort, including students learning English or those needing extra help.
There are “no great answers right now,” Cody said.
To try to help subs willing to teach this fall feel ready for classes, Alamosa offered a paid half-day training for subs to brief them on how to navigate the technology the district is using and on all the health precautions the district’s schools have in place, including one-way hallways, masks and cohorting.
Cody is particularly worried about the ripple effect of quarantining a class that has elective teachers, such as those teaching music, art or computer science, attached to it. All of those teachers would need to quarantine, too.
“That can create a big shortage very, very quickly,” Cody said. She added that if multiple cohorts were to shut down, the district would need many subs immediately.
Alamosa has already had to quarantine cohorts twice this year. During the first quarantine, which happened during the first week of school, part of a cohort had to quarantine. Luckily, many students were learning remotely at that time, Cody said, and the district had enough subs to cover while some teachers also taught through Zoom. During the second quarantine, one cohort had to be shut down and the district didn’t have enough subs to cover. The cohort was released from quarantine after two-and-a-half school days, she said, but during that time staff members came forward to help. Some elective teachers who were quarantined connected to classrooms for instruction over Zoom. Those few days of quarantine brought the district’s substitute shortage into full view.
Other districts have taken a similar approach to making do without enough subs. Gunnison Watershed School District RE1J lost some of its subs this year because of COVID-19, said Lisa Danos, co-president of Gunnison County Education Association. To help prevent a district shortage, many parents who would normally never sub have stepped up.
The parents want to make sure that students’ education isn’t interrupted because of the virus, Danos said.
With the potential of needing many more subs this year than in the past, the district could face a shortage, she said. The district has advertised for subs more this year than it normally does and may give a small pay increase to attract and retain them.
Liz Mick, co-president of the union, said the district has also streamlined the application process to make it simpler for people who might be interested in subbing.
When the pandemic hit last spring, Gunnison provided a bonus to its regular subs as a way to show appreciation for the work of teachers who suddenly lost income. Mick described it as “a kind gesture of our district” for subs, who are “terribly underpaid.”
Douglas County School District is also boosting pay for subs through December, and high-level administrators who still hold an active teaching license have volunteered to fill subbing gaps if needed, said Leyba, of AFT Colorado and the Douglas County Federation.
It’s essentially an “all-hands-on-deck situation where everyone knows that they may need to step into the classroom and we have to put the needs of the classroom first above everything else in the district right now,” she said.
Ready to return
The Colorado Department of Education also is working to bring more subs into the system by developing a substitute recruitment page that gives instructions on how to apply for a substitute credential and links to districts that are looking, department spokesperson Meyer said. Additionally, CDE is collaborating with the state’s educator preparation programs to spread the message that in some cases, student teachers can serve as substitutes.
Not all retirees who have subbed in Colorado have opted out of teaching in the classroom this year. Catherine Salazar, a retired DPS teacher who taught for the district for 35 years, has been subbing for about 10 years, covering classes in five schools including Thomas Jefferson High School, where she taught design and sculpture for most of her career.
She hasn’t been back to a DPS classroom since March 13, when the pandemic changed the district’s plans. But she plans to return to the classroom in mid-October, when all students are scheduled to be back to in-person learning, if she’s needed.
“I just think the kids need to be there,” Salazar said. “The kids need to be with their teachers, their school, their friends.”
She’s remained cautious throughout the pandemic, consistently wearing a mask and washing her hands repetitively, and she isn’t worried about stepping inside a school. Salazar said she has found a sense of belonging with kids and teachers who know her as a familiar face.
“You feel like you’re part of the faculty, kind of, when you’re at the same school all the time,” she said.
Dennis McCormick shares Salazar’s enthusiasm to return to students. McCormick, who is retired after working in energy, is heading into his seventh year as a substitute teacher for DPS. Many members of McCormick’s family taught school, including his mother, father and two sisters along with some of his aunts, uncles and nieces.
That family background, along with McCormick’s own interest in education, compelled him to begin subbing. He’s taught at 70 or 80 DPS schools.
Like Salazar, McCormick subbed up until the pandemic shutdown. He’s not hesitant about being back in a classroom this year.
“Perhaps,” he joked, “I haven’t thought it through enough.”

For the past few weeks, I have been really looking forward to November 11th – the day I have no classes and no intentions of stepping foot on campus. All that I, and most of my classmates, really want to do is catch my breath and get prepared for the last four CRAZY weeks of my first quarter at Fisher (during which we will have 4 Accounting Cases, 3 final papers, 3 final presentations, 4 daily assignments and 3 final exams – not to mention all of the reading that goes with those assignments…). But, November 11th is more than just a vacation day, it’s Veterans Day.
My father (Air Force), step-father-in-law (Marine Corp), brother-in-law (Army Reserves) and one of my cohort team mates (Army) are all Veterans. I am immensely proud of each of them and would like to use this blog to honor them and all Veterans by taking us all back to the real meaning of Veterans Day. Veterans Day began in 1918 as Armistice Day – a way to honor those who fought in World War I. In 1954, Armistice Day was changed to Veterans Day in order to honor veterans of ALL wars. Today, Veterans Day is designed to honor and thank living veterans who served in the military during times of peace and of war.
So, as you relax (or study) on this Veterans Day or hit the malls for some great sales, please be sure to stop for a moment to remember what this day truly means. In fact, why not take that moment right now and watch this clip of the OSU ROTC Buckeye Battalion raising the Flag as the Ohio State Marching Band plays the U.S. National Anthem: | <urn:uuid:d7a915f8-4033-41e9-a6fa-8d7ef052f27c> | CC-MAIN-2015-11 | https://fisher.osu.edu/blogs/gradlife/tag/osu-rotc/ | 2015-03-03T08:51:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-11/segments/1424936463165.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20150226074103-00256-ip-10-28-5-156.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.960908 | 355 |

I must've ruled this one out a dozen times before if I've ruled it out once, but I've changed my mind -- for a couple of reasons.
First off, long time lyrics pal Ron Hontz told me some backstory on this one. Obviously, The Everly Brothers didn't sing both verses; they sang the first one twice. The reason was, when lyricist Sonny Curtis brought the demo to them, it only had one verse -- because he wasn't finished with it yet. The Everly Brothers recorded it before he even had the chance. Curtis later recorded the full version himself.
Reason number two is that when I went looking for this on the web, I found a grand total of one version -- and it felt wrong. This one, as should be obvious to even first-time visitors, is WAY overdone, chord-wise. But as is my practice, I choose chords to allow a listener to recognize the song even without a vocal. If you're singing and playing, you can omit a ton of them -- the melody is heavily reliant on major 7ths and 6ths, but the underlying chord doesn't necessarily need to change. If you're not singing, however, these chords will help you carry the melody line. | <urn:uuid:8a965f2c-57c3-4965-b3ac-84951fb15506> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://theguitarguy.com/walkrigh.htm | 2017-06-24T10:25:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320257.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20170624101204-20170624121204-00239.warc.gz | en | 0.943082 | 786 |
