The Long Shadow: The Legacies of the Great War in the 20th Century, by David Reynolds, W.W. Norton & Co., New York, 2014, $32.50
The summer of 2014 marks the centenary of the beginning of World War I, among the most momentous conflicts in history, one whose effects persist to this day. Small wonder, then, Cambridge history professor David Reynolds has entitled his new study of that war’s legacy The Long Shadow. Many histories recount the origin and events of World War I. Reynolds goes much further, examining the period between the world wars and the century that followed. He scrutinizes the war’s effects not only on military matters but also on politics, culture and society at large.
The memory of and perspective on that war have morphed over the years and differ on either side of the Atlantic. While a somewhat distant and obscure memory in the United States, to many Europeans the “Great War” remains the great catastrophe of the 20th century, from which sprang fascism, communism, World War II, the Cold War and all the postcolonial difficulties in the Middle East, Africa and Asia. It no less than redrew the world map.
Reynolds argues that our collective perspective has reduced World War I to a bloody and futile four-year stalemate on the Western Front, little more than a prelude to World War II. He insists historians take a broader view of the conflict and its consequences, for the world in which we live, and how we view it, derives directly from the experience and aftermath of that war. In that regard The Long Shadow may well become one of the important historical studies of World War I. | <urn:uuid:8df5b2e0-7658-40a9-9ec5-62df6ca3432b> | CC-MAIN-2017-34 | http://www.historynet.com/book-review-the-long-shadow-by-david-reynolds.htm | 2017-08-23T02:15:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-34/segments/1502886117519.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20170823020201-20170823040201-00018.warc.gz | en | 0.926575 | 346 |

Virtue Poker, an Ethereum-based poker site that has been in development since 2015, has announced its upcoming future plans that include phase 1 of selling its poker tokens (VPPs) on April 25, with a phase 2, if any, to be determined at a later date.
The VPPs will eventually be traded on exchanges as cryptocurrency, but that won’t occur until the poker room fully launches on the Ethereum main net, expected to be sometime in Q4 of this year. The buyers of the tokens during phase 1 will be limited to those who intend to play on the site during the alpha and beta testing periods that begin on May 22 and tokens should not be purchased by those looking for a speculative investment.
Token purchases during Phase 1 on April 25 will be conducted as a simple sale in which 100 million tokens will be made available,
with a minimum price of $0.06 and a maximum of $0.125 per token. The price varies because it will be determined at the conclusion of the sale
by dividing the total pledged by 100 million, according to the Virtue Poker website.
Token Buyers Must Pass a Test
Those 100 million tokens of Phase 1 during the Early Adopter Sale are 20% of the allotted total of 500 million. The next 100 million VPPs will be available during Phase 2, with the remaining 60% of tokens set aside in various percentages for the founders (17.2%), advisors (4%), strategic partnerships (18.8%), and token reserves (20%).
The sale will conclude when $12.5 million USD in Ethereum is raised or after 14 days. The entire sale will be canceled if $5 million is not reached.
Those who intend to acquire tokens during Phase 1 must first pass a General Assessment Test designed to weed out potential buyers who lack a solid grasp of the technology behind Virtue Poker and the Ethereum blockchain on which it will operate.
Virtue and Integrity
That technology, as described by Virtue Poker founders, will revolutionize online poker due to the smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain that will guarantee the security of player funds and make every hand dealt totally fair via card shuffling that involves all the players at the table.
Virtue Poker will never have control of player money and winnings will be sent directly to the digital wallets of players upon their exit from the game.
Joseph Lubin, one of the site’s strategic advisors and the co-founder of Ethereum, stated:
By enabling players to be in full control of their assets except in the moments that they are held in escrow by a smart contract, and by creating a framework within which shuffles are provably fair, Virtue Poker ups the ante regarding user-friendliness and security for the online poker and gaming industry,
Virtue Poker has also tabbed Phil Ivey, Dan Colman and Brian Rast as advisors.
Buyers of tokens during the Early Adopter Sale will have the opportunity to provide suggestions and feedback after playing during the testing periods. VP founders envision those token holders to be quite active as contributors to Virtue poker’s development and growth.
Players within the US will not be permitted to be part of Phase 1, but it is anticipated that Virtue Poker will be available stateside after all legalities are ironed out. | <urn:uuid:39f1aea5-769c-4855-a3ef-9e5458a016ff> | CC-MAIN-2019-04 | https://www.bitcoinspoker.com/virtue-poker-announces-plans-for-token-sale/ | 2019-01-21T03:34:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-04/segments/1547583755653.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20190121025613-20190121051613-00397.warc.gz | en | 0.961656 | 675 |
Rampant coal mining in Chandrapur and its surrounding areas in Maharashtra pose a grave threat to tigers. A fact-finding team, comprising of Praveen Bhargav, Biswajit Mohanty and environment lawyer Rahul Choudhary, released its findings and recommendations in a report titled, “Undermining Tadoba’s tigers” said that no new mines should be given forest clearance in the region and further expansion of mines in operation should be stopped. The team has visited the area in September of this year, interacted with villagers, miners, environmentalists, government officials and businessmen and came out with a 66 page report on the issue. As per the 2010 NTCA report, the greater Chandrapur landscape has between 66 to 74 tigers. Coal mining is threatening connectivity between forest patches that are crucial for long term survival of tigers. The report also flatly contradicts the recent report of BK Chaturvedi committee setup by a group of ministers on coal. The Chaturvedi report recommended relaxing environmental safeguards to facilitate an expansion in coal mining. The fact-finding team has called the Chaturvedi report highly irresponsible and that if accepted, the report will be a death warrant for large forest areas across India.
Read the report by the fact-finding panel in the articles section of CI. | <urn:uuid:cd21e5d5-f9b3-4cc3-99cf-cd1fa808dacf> | CC-MAIN-2021-04 | https://www.conservationindia.org/news/rampant-mining-poses-threat-to-tadoba-tiger-reserves-say-expert-wildlife-panel | 2021-01-19T02:53:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-04/segments/1610703517559.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20210119011203-20210119041203-00467.warc.gz | en | 0.956726 | 269 |
Armed with recent trail info from Will Gotthardt (thanks!), I checked out the Peters Creek Loop at Portola Redwoods State Park. An excerpt from the State Park’s description of the hike sums it up best:
“This long and strenuous hike takes you to some of the most spectacular old growth redwoods in the Santa Cruz mountains… you will have the place to yourself. The descent [from the ridge] is like going back in time to a land of old growth giants and beautiful creekside habitat… allow[ing] you to imagine what these mountains were like 200 years ago.”
Ever since I first visited this park on the Butano Ridge-Pomponio Loop last summer I have wanted to return to run this particular route. The grove of old growth redwoods at Peters Creek is the third largest stand on the Peninsula. However, unlike the easily accessible groves in nearby Big Basin Park and Henry Cowell Park, it is a 5 mile trek up and over a ridge just to reach the grove. The remoteness of this grove gives it a special and wild feeling. On this day there was a strong inversion with temperatures in the 50’s at the start, 80’s on the ridge, and 50’s again in Peters Creek. It was refreshing to descend into the lush and cool redwood groves. Climbing out the steep hill back to the hot ridge was a different story! I also switched out the watch for a camera and snapped some nice shots of these majestic giants.
The route is really an 11.5 mile dumbell with a long section of repeated trail in the middle along the Slate Creek Trail and the Bear Creek Trail. The ends of the dumbell are the Peters Creek Loop itself and the Summit Trail/Slate Creek alternatives for the start or finish. Virtually the entire way is under the cover of redwood forest with soft surface. There is one section along the Bear Creek Trail that is a bit overgrown and you need to be mindful of poison oak (or just slather on the Tecnu afterwards). Just prior to the Peters Creek Loop there is an unmarked junction (at Bear Creek) and you should stay left here. The climb out of Peters Creek on the way back is challenging and steep so be prepared, especially if it is a warm day.
A good map of Portola State Park can be found here. | <urn:uuid:a3de90e7-1e26-40ca-9f83-08d7a75ead30> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | https://pantilat.wordpress.com/2008/10/25/portola-redwoods-peters-creek-loop/?like=1&_wpnonce=9f9b134b29 | 2017-06-23T10:24:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320049.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20170623100455-20170623120455-00550.warc.gz | en | 0.937076 | 499 |

Exactly one year ago we awoke to the news that a terrible earthquake had struck the heart of Nepal. Immediately upon hearing the news ServLife responded. Within days food was being delivered to families affected by the quake. Soon after, tarps and other vital supplies were on their way.
In the days and weeks following the disaster, the stories of death, destruction and displacement continued to mount. All the while ServLife was there providing food, water, shelter, encouragement and prayer. You helped provide relief for more than 4,000 people, bringing semi-permanent shelters to two villages and restoring hope to the people of Nepal.
As we mark the first anniversary of the earthquake I recall working with Udaya and his team to deliver food to 150 families in the Sindhupalchok District and working with Lazarus’ staff to select the shelters that would house every family in Bhuji. I’ll never forget walking the streets of villages reduced to rubble and comforting our pastors and their people now living under tarps.
This March we celebrated the ribbon cutting marking the opening of our new pastor training center in Kathmandu built to replace the building that was badly damaged by the quake. Adam and I were privileged to celebrate this event with our local staff and many of our Nepali pastors. We were also blessed to see some of the long term shelters you provided to families in Jhor, just north of Kathmandu.
Thanks to you ServLife has made a great start down a very long road. The recovery in Nepal will take decades and we’re committed to standing shoulder to shoulder with our pastors and families as they rebuild homes, churches and whole villages. I can’t thank you enough for your generosity.
Please keep the people of Nepal in your prayers. | <urn:uuid:bd24d303-3b6b-451c-87ad-84005995912e> | CC-MAIN-2021-17 | https://servlife.org/oneyearlater/ | 2021-04-12T19:55:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-17/segments/1618038069133.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20210412175257-20210412205257-00015.warc.gz | en | 0.972598 | 372 |

Relax, it's just a lamp
NEVER BLEND IN
How can we apply our fascination for traditional mechanics and craft tools into state-of-the art design? This quest was the starting point for the products of lighting label Tonone, known for the use of characteristic construction tools as a visual and a functional basis for innovative product design.
This vision was well illustrated by the design of the Tonone-line up: the Bolt-series, rapidly followed by the sturdy lamp Mr. Tubes, the hand blown glass series Atlas and Ella and the smart serie Orbit. In 2019 Tonone introduces two LED series; Beads, a series of lamps with 360 degrees dimmable LED range and the New Mr. Tubes LED.
Today the design team’s vision is still committed to apply traditional craft tools and mechanics in innovative light design. Although the handwriting of Anton de Groof and his team is still to be described as bold and functional, the newly introduced light designs have evaluated to a slick, unadomed and smart lightconcept. Even when there is no visibility of the used mechanics, Tonone’s signature is still recognized in every next step of its lighting design.
Tonone was founded in 2013 by designer Anton de Groof and is based in The Netherlands. The Tonone design team works together with local craftsmen to produce their products. During the design- and the production process the entire life cycle of the products is taken into account when it comes to sustainability, efficiency and logistics.

After recovering from her initial terror, she befriends the two soldiers. She tries to help them cross over to heaven, and is even able to help the two enemies get along...sometimes. Though Joel is undeniably gorgeous, she falls hard for Jesse, with his sexy Southern accent and chivalrous manner. When Jesse realizes that she loves him, too, he no longer wishes to cross over. Even though he can’t even touch his beloved Lucy, he cannot bear to leave her. Jesse had died without ever having been with a woman. Will he get a second chance at love or be separated from his darling forever? If you’re looking for tender romance with steamy, passionate love scenes, you’ll enjoy this first installment of the Gettysburg Ghost series!...

Somebody's Darling (The Gettysburg Ghost Series Book 1) Reviews
As a lover of Gettysburg/ghosts/romance, this book aced it for me. Even though it was paranormal, the author made it sound believable..to me anyhow. Reading about particular places in Gettysburg, that I've been to, was icing on the cake. I'm so glad that I found this book and read it..in less than a day. :)
So realI chose this because it mixed love 💘 and paranormal experience. It kept me involved, made me feel, thinkIng about the future of the two who loved so deeply. I worried 😟 about how the correct ending would happen. I need not. More! Lynn.Porter
LOVE!I am that person who never leaves a review unless it's worth it. And this is worth it. absolutely loved this book! I couldn't put it down. Combined my love of the Civil War and a love story. Will definitely be reading this again and the others in the series.
A wonderful and thoughtful romance. It was so sweet and sad. I cried while reading this story. It is a ghost story but when they go to the place where they died it was unbelievable. I just loved it.
I wanted so badly to like this book. After some initial hesitation, I decided to give it a try. In the past, I've read Civil War-themed romances where the author's hatred for the South was very evident. At first, this book seemed impartial, which made me excited. The heroine (Lucy) actually defended the southern soldiers at the beginning of the book, explaining that most didn't actually own slaves and that many were simply fighting to protect their homeland from invading Northern troops.So the book started out with 5 stars just for that. Minus 1 star for the odd presentation of homosexuality. I don't care if a character is gay, but the character was from the 19th century when sexual subjects were very taboo. I just find it hard to believe that they'd adopt modern behavior and blurt out their sexuality to pretty much everyone they meet.Minus 1 star for (view spoiler)[ Lucy's sudden 180 near the end of the book where she says something along the lines of, "Yeah, the south is racist and homophobic, but you thought you were on the right side at the time."(hide spoiler)] Why the sudden change? And then the characters start ranting about the Iraq War, 9/11, etc. I read romances to escape reality, not to be bludgeoned over the head with political commentary.Finally, minus 1 star for the cheesy dialogue. Speaking of dialogue, the story seems to have way too much dialogue & not enough narration. I really didn't notice it until the last half of the book. But anyway, the female characters talk like Valley Girls and use their names too much: "OMG Lucy!", "Like, what is it, Theresa?", "I don't know, you know, Lucy?", etc.Also, the scene near the end was very cringy when Lucy talks about Jesse's (view spoiler)[ p*nis size in front of the other ghosts(hide spoiler)] Why would you do that?The happily ever after isn't even logical. I have read paranormal romances before where the HEA is actually kinda plausible. This one is not. (view spoiler)[ No SSN, no birth certificate = no job, no insurance, no drivers license, etc(hide spoiler)]Finally, we learn why Jesse has been stuck on earth for 150+ years.... (view spoiler)[ Apparently, he can't cross over until he loses his virginity. I kid you not.(hide spoiler)]
Wow, where to begin? I love ghost stories. And the history behind Joel and Jesse and how they became spirits is told with incredible compassion and deep emotion. This was a book that, when I wasn't reading it, I was counting the minutes until I could sit down again and go back to Gettysburg, immerse myself in the story. Some books you read because you have the time. Some books you MAKE the time. This was one of those books.From a fellow author's perspective, I kept thinking to myself "This must have been SO much fun to research!" My dad was a huge Civil War buff, and made an annual trek to Gettysburg every fall. Now I wish I'd not written it off as "dad's thing" and offered to go with him. I think I would have found it fascinating.So many layers. So much hurt and anger. Yet so much healing, as well. Grab the tissues and settle in.
Entertaining readA very entertaining and easy read! The author did a great job not leaving any major questions unanswered. I love how the friendship among the characters developed throughout the book...and how they were able to help each other. Really enjoyed learning some terms they used back in the 1860s.... and about the Civil War. Makes me think of visiting Gettysburg =D Can't wait till the second book..
Ghost love storyNice ghost love story with good historical points in it .I'm curious to read the next one one coming out ....Thank you
Sweet, fun, and quick read. I thoroughly enjoyed this story. And for once, I had no idea how the author was going to make the ending come out right. | <urn:uuid:e1c1ed32-e6e2-4808-b862-3b846c6ab6a0> | CC-MAIN-2019-13 | http://5.pdfmedia.co/28535231/somebody-s-darling-the-gettysburg-ghost-series-book-1.html | 2019-03-25T07:26:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-13/segments/1552912203842.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20190325072024-20190325094024-00513.warc.gz | en | 0.969003 | 1,616 |

Better now the prices are much less but only on tickets. Food is extortionate as is drinks and not worth it. Toilets were also pretty vile with water all over floor and no cleaners in sight. More seating upstairs for waiting for screen to open would also be good. Screen itself was clean and well lit to find seats.
It's a nice cinema, it's usually overpriced however they're currently running offers for discounted tickets, which makes it a worthwhile trip. There are 16 screens, I think, missy of which have good screens and sound. The chairs are comfy and the air-conditioning always has the place feeling cool. It's generally pretty clean as well. Obviously the snacks and drinks are very overpriced but then it's the only way the venue makes its money after the movie studios overcharge to show their films.

This is a good Premier inn which is located near the docks in Plymouth. Room and bathroom was clean and fresh. The room also has AC, especially useful in the current heatwave. The room has nice big Samsung TV and bed was very comfortable. The restaurant was clean and served some very nice fresh food. The menu is good if you're looking for meat, but not much variety for vegetarians. I would recommend the sea bass it was served with fresh vegetables and the fish was very succulent. The staff were very friendly and helpful too.
Even though it was under renovation when I stayed, the rooms were immaculate, staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Food at the restaurant was very nice and came quickly. Well located in Plymouth town. Just a 2 minute walk to the harbour and a wide variety of things to see an do.

The Broadway is base in pymstock in plymouth Devon. It has lots of shops . Supermarkets, lots of charity shops which I why I love going there. As I love looking around charity shops for bargains. Costa coffee shops. Warrens bakery..cards shops..gifts shops. Travel agents. Hairdressers.. large pound shop..A big variety of shops. Very large free car park.. Lidl supermarket close by.Also a library with a cafe inside that do excellent food. The Broadway is a lovely place to visit..
Great and friendly, accessable little shopping / community area. Just a shame that the Unit Rentals are so prohibitive, that most new and enthusiastic businesses, go bust before they have a chance to break even. | <urn:uuid:7d35e6a4-b688-441c-9f39-d9f0d46cfb58> | CC-MAIN-2019-18 | https://forcesplymouth.2day.uk/section/WhatsOnLocal | 2019-04-20T09:03:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-18/segments/1555578529472.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20190420080927-20190420102927-00360.warc.gz | en | 0.982386 | 662 |
I woke up this morning from a strange dream at 3:28 AM. I reluctantly rolled out of my comfy bed and fumbled for my laptop and a pair of glasses sitting on top of the nightstand. I began writing down the dream while it was still fresh in my memory, thinking that this morning when I woke up, the dream would be of some great revelation. Not so much. I would have been better off to have just gone back to bed and forgotten the strange dream in its entirety.
The dream went like this: I was a 14 or 16 year old boy in the civil war era. Another boy of similar age – the enemy – was throwing javelins at me from about fifty yards away. The javelins had a sharp arrow at the end of them. They were nothing to mess around with.
The boy was aiming for my head, and my waist. I dodged the first couple javelin throws, then he finally landed one. The javelin spear chucked me right through the gut. I thought I was a goner, but just as I yanked the javelin out from my stomach, I was rescued by a man riding along on a horse. I thought, surely, this is the part of the dream where the man magically morphs into Kate Upton, takes me back to her secret lair to patch me up, and declares her undying love to me. Not hardly.
The dream continued. I was riding on the back of horse with the man, holding my intestines from spilling out all over the place, when the man circled back around to kill the boy. I don’t normally condone violence, but in my opinion, the little shit kinda’ had it coming to him. Thankfully I woke up from the dream before the slaughter of the boy occurred.
Needless to say, the dream put me in somber mood this morning, so I thought I would share a more somber piece of writing. This is the first chapter from an untitled novel that I had started writing a few months back. I have about 20 of these unfinished novels and screenplays to my credit (or discredit?). I’ll read something, like a Mark Twain, or a J.D. Salinger, and think to myself, “Hey, I can do that.” But it’s never quite as simple as sitting down at a computer to begin to write, so eventually I give up.
One of these days I’ll complete The Next Great American Classic. It won’t be today, but rather than keep all of my works hidden, I decided to share a few excerpts from time to time. Maybe it will give me the inspiration to pick one of them back up and finish writing.
Untitled Next Great American Classic
Chapter One: Here Lies A Great Man
I went to see my grandfather today. Well, I didn’t see him, see him. He’s dead. Buried right underneath the oak tree that sits alone on top the hill out in the country. It used to be his favorite hiding spot, that tree. What exactly he was hiding from, no one will ever know. About the only words he ever muttered to us was, “I told you not to come.”
My mom really tried for years and years. She would load up the car with us kids – me, my brother, and my sister – and she would drive the six hours every summer to visit him at his farmhouse just outside Hamilton, New Jersey. But most the time, PopPop would be no wheres to be found, or we’d see a tiny speck of a man on top the hill, sitting by his lonesome underneath the oak tree. So instead of visiting him, we visited with the horses in the barn, or we visited with the ducks in the swimming pond. It didn’t make no difference to me. I’d rather talk to a duck than a jackass anyways, but it was hard on my mom. She would cry the whole car ride home and claim it was from her allergies acting up.
The car ride home was something awful. There was static coming in and out of the oldie’s station and mom’s sniffling. The combination of the two sounds was about the worst goddamned sound any person could ever imagine. Sniff, static, sniff, static, doo wop, doo wop, sniff, static. I couldn’t wait to be out of that car.
PopPop was a bitter cuss of a man to put it mildly. He didn’t like us kids. He didn’t like my mom. He didn’t like no one really, so when he died, no one in the family knew nothing about it. It was the most baffling thing how someone could close themselves off to the world like that. Mom drove down by herself one weekend to make a final attempt to “make amends” as she put it, when the phone rang:
“He’s dead! He’s dead! I can’t believe it, he’s dead!”
“Slow down, mom. Who’s dead?”, I asked.
“PopPop. No one’s here and the house is all boarded up. I couldn’t get inside, so I drove down to the neighbors, and they said he died over a year ago. That no good, rotten, coward of a man didn’t even say goodbye to his own daughter!”
Death, what a sorry sack of shit that is. Everyone has this idea that they can live forever, which ain’t but a lie. You live to be 60 or 70 years if you’re lucky, and 80 years max. PopPop, that stubborn mule, he made it to be 84. He tried to cheat death as best he could, thought it wouldn’t find him if he just disappeared off the face of the earth during his final years, but death don’t pay no mind to cheaters. Death will always have the final say. Sometimes it will come to you as a whisper in the night, or sometimes it will roll you over with a 180 horse powered John Deere tractor while you’re out cutting hay, which is exactly what it done to PopPop. Squashed him like a bug on a windshield, and that’s just the way death can be sometimes.
I don’t know why I drove down to his farm to go see him, except sometimes you just have to see things with your own eyes. I wanted to see that cheater with a pile of dirt heaped on top of him, and I wanted to spit on his grave. Once for my mother, once for me, and once for every sniffle, static and doo wop I ever had to hear on that car ride home. By my accounts, that was about one million hawks of spit he had coming to him, but nobody has that much saliva to give another person no matter how much they done you wrong, so I decided it would be best to save my spit.
It took me a little bit of searching, but I found his gravesite. There it was. Just a tiny speck on top of that hill, right underneath the oak tree where I last seen him. It was peaceful. It wasn’t cluttered with all the other tombstones, and giant statues of crosses, and those stupid, fake flowers that everyone is so fond on leaving behind for a bunch of stiffs. I had to hand it to PopPop for that one. He had a nice view, a cool breeze, and some shade for when the sun got too hot. Some good it did him now, but he got what he was after. He got to be left alone once and for all.
The marker didn’t have no name, no birth date, or no nothing, really. The only thing it said was “Here lies a good man.” I’d like to know who he paid to carve out that big, old lie. I would’ve had a few other choice words if it were left up to me. It was probably best that it wasn’t.
I sat down next to his grave for nearly an hour. The summer breeze got me to thinking. I thought, ain’t it a shame how you can live your entire life only to be summed up by a few, lousy words carved on a slab of stone. It’s really a crying shame the way the whole thing gets played out, so I decided that when I get squashed, I’m gonna leave behind more than just a few words. I’m gonna leave behind a whole damn book. There will be plenty of funny stories, adventures, and good times, but I won’t spare the bad parts, neither. There will be stories of sadness, and heart break, and ain’t that the way life goes, really? Ups and downs, highs and lows. Some good men and some a little rotten, too, but at the end of it all, we all have the same measly reward waiting for us when we die. Just a cheap vase of plastic flowers at the foot of our grave, and a few, measly words for people to remember us by.
At least I’ll have the decency to say goodbye. That will be the last word in the book: goodbye. Then I’ll sign my name, Samuel Wynmore, and I suppose now that I think about it a little more, it wouldn’t hurt to end it with “Here lies a great man.” A helluva lot better man than his deadbeat grandfather, that’s for sure.
Guess I better get to writing. I know just where I outta start. Where every great man’s life begins and ends. With girls and booze. | <urn:uuid:62d93867-7893-4876-b493-2b63ef3c2839> | CC-MAIN-2023-06 | https://thedimwitdiary.wordpress.com/tag/grave/ | 2023-01-28T23:33:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-06/segments/1674764499695.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20230128220716-20230129010716-00088.warc.gz | en | 0.976725 | 2,098 |
My twin brother and I were adopted from Costa Rica when we were three. We grew up in a very loving home by the best Mom and Dad anyone could wish for. My Mom was the main cook in the house, always preparing a comforting classic meal that included a protein, a vegetable and a starch. In 8th grade, my Grandmother moved in with us and did a lot of the cooking and baking. It was always delicious. While my Dad didn’t do a lot of the daily cooking, he is quite the master when it comes to things like chili, pasta sauce, ribs and shrimp scampi. Thinking back, I grew up eating very, very well!
I never took an interest in being in the kitchen except for when it was time to eat. I now regret this because the beloved foods I grew up eating were lost when my Mom passed away in 2007. I wish I had taken the time to learn more about how she did things in the kitchen. I still dream of
her roasted chicken!
I really began cooking and taking a real interest in food after I met my fiancé, Mike. If I hadn’t, I would be eating dinosaur chicken nuggets and blue box macaroni and cheese every night, which is his specialty. One of my greatest pleasures is cooking for Mike and having him enjoy what I prepare. Although I don’t feel I have a specific style of cooking, I can say that I love simple, satisfying meals. That works for Mike, too, as he is definitely a man of simple taste. Though my Mom never had the chance to cook for him (we met two months after she passed away), he prefers meals with a protein, a vegetable and a starch, also. He would have loved her! I get very excited when Mike tries something new and discovers that he likes it. With my help, he is eating a lot more vegetables!
Mike is my rock and is always very supportive and encouraging. It doesn't matter if it’s getting through college, my career as a crime analyst for my local police department, or being a part of 37 Cooks, he is always there for me. Without him, I doubt I would make my deadlines for 37 Cooks! Even though Mike likes to say I have a food “problem” (eating, cooking, watching, reading and thinking about food 24/7 isn’t a problem, right?), it all leads to us sitting down to a home cooked dinner together, which is my favorite part of each day.
I always keep my mom with me in everything I do, including in the kitchen. What is more classic comfort food than a meatloaf dinner? I remember having meatloaf my mom made and the family dinners we enjoyed. My meatloaf is different than my mom's, but it's just as delicious! As she always did and Mike likes best, I serve it with starch and veggie side dishes. Make your favorites, these recipes are what I had on hand! Also, I made this dinner for two, so if you are cooking for a family you can double it up.
1 celery stalk, finely diced
¼ small onion, finely diced
4 baby carrots, finely diced
2 strips bell pepper, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 Tablespoon tomato paste
Salt and pepper
½ pound lean ground beef
4 Tablespoons ground flax seed
Parsley, finely chopped
Few shakes Worcestershire sauce
Pinch of red pepper flakes
Squirt Dijon mustard
Have a pan on medium high heat and drizzle in a bit of olive oil, enough to cover the pan. Add in all the veggies, the tomato paste, salt and pepper and sauté until soft. Set aside to cool.
In a large bowl, add the remaining ingredients and the cooled veggie mix. Mix to combine. Separate the mixture into two and free form two meatloaves onto a baking sheet. Bake at 350°F for 45 minutes. Serve with a“baked potato” and greens.
Easiest “Baked Potato”:
2 medium sized russet potatoes
This isn’t a recipe, it's just how I do my potatoes the easiest way when I want a "baked" one to go with a meal. I’m not reinventing the wheel, of course, so I let the microwave do the work! Punch the potatoes with a fork a few times all around, and nuke it until soft and tender, about 7-8 minutes. We like to open it up; add a few dabs of butter and salt and pepper.
4 cloves garlic, chopped
Big pinch crushed red pepper flakes
2 big handfuls of chopped chicory
2 big handfuls of chopped escarole
2 big handfuls of spinach
Juice from ½ lemon
Salt and pepper
This just happened to be the greens I had in my fridge, but you can use any delicious mix! Cover a pan over medium hot heat with olive oil. Add in the garlic and crushed red pepper. Add in the greens, a bit at a time, until they wilt and you can fit more in. Once they have all wilted down and are tender, add the lemon juice, salt and pepper and serve. | <urn:uuid:4a990df2-987d-4693-945e-8c00f1825ad0> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://www.37cooks.com/2013/05/meet-sarah.html | 2019-07-20T07:15:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526489.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720070937-20190720092937-00476.warc.gz | en | 0.966858 | 1,101 |

Bach operates efficiently. We call it the “Communication Design”. Our organization’s structure was founded upon years of construction management education, practice and experience. Bach utilizes systematic, team-based levels of construction management to clearly define non-overlapping internal roles. Our structure is our strategy. It allows our staff to effectively manage their individual tasks and consequently provides each team member with a transparent view of the entire corporation’s function. The “communication Design” establishes internal efficiency, but more importantly, it allows our customers simple integration into the function of our team; insuring that the client’s vision becomes a collaborative reality.
Bach is reliable. We call it the “Integrity Factor”. We believe that principles, not principals, guide our focus and determination. Bach defines integrity as a consistency of performance. It’s very simple: Our work IS our reputation. If we consistently achieve the goals set by our customers, our SERVICE becomes contagious. Bach believes that service should be contagious; service to our clients, our community and ourselves. The “Integrity Factor” is designed to solidify TRUST in our relationships. Relationships based on loyalty not only with our customers, but within our team as well.
Bach is experienced. We express this as “Core Competence”. Our management is directed by a unique consortium of well educated, industry experienced individuals. Our team members are well trained and never rushed into positions without proper prerequisites. Bach Believes that Competence is a passion: a passion for organization, productivity, leadership, and quality. The “Core Competence” component of our corporate philosophy is derived from our competitive nature. Bach defines competence as a desire for ultimate performance. We utilize proven and experienced team members to execute high quality construction management for our clients.
Bach Construction Inc. finishes. We are convicted by our “Discipline”; discipline to approach every facet of construction management and execution with consistency in effort. We are steadfast to the premise that a completed construction project is only as successful as the sum of its parts. Our approach is resolute and results in our customer’s certification of completion, backed by our Warranty of Performance. Our customer’s satisfaction is tangible: it’s the accomplishment of their completed vision. Our satisfaction is intangible: it’s our underlying commitment to daily dedicate the time, though and energy to the management of a collaborative construction vision. | <urn:uuid:204ba9a2-a670-4f39-9d55-b06199b7b2c6> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://www.builtbybach.com/about/corporate-philosophy/ | 2018-06-18T15:14:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267860570.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20180618144750-20180618164750-00201.warc.gz | en | 0.950557 | 510 |

Hi [name] and welcome to my Weekly Insight for Monday 26th March 2012
"POWER VERSUS CHARACTER !"
Quote for the week
" Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power."
I was chatting with an agent just last week who performs at the highest level and has done so for many years. He is quietly spoken, happy, calm, generous and humble.
He was in direct contrast to a couple of other agents I had chatted with earlier in the same week.
Their approach was quite the opposite. Yes they were positive and enthusiastic, however they lacked a "genuine touch. Both spoke quite loudly, openly rubbished their manager and brand, talked of how they "demanded" a higher share of the commission and how they list anything at any price then go back and really lay on the "price too high" story and "crunch them hard". All this loud enough for the surrounding tables in their local cafe to over-hear.
Yes, they were financially successful, but repeat and referred business was not really in their programme, unlike the first agent whose business grows continually based on referrals and repeat business. It was an interesting observation that reminded me of Abraham Lincoln's quote above.
Being successful, being powerful, being a top performer, awarded certificates of merit and lauded with praise is not enough. In such a powerful marketing position the "Character Test" is more important than the accolades.
It reminds me of another quotation I read many years ago: "Never sell your long term image for a short-term gain."
In this market, where listings are being being fought for, remember that winning at all costs, is no test of character at all.
It is a defeat of character.

Hundreds of thousands of displaced Somalis rely on food aid from the WFP
New land tactics being employed by Somali pirates may be a cause for concern, a UN spokesman told the BBC.
Peter Smerdon said three trucks and their drivers were being held in the pirate town of Eyl after delivering food aid last week in central Somalia.
He said they were hijacked on Thursday when travelling without an escort in the first incident of its kind.
Pirates have seized several ships carrying food aid and such boats are now brought in by naval escort.
War-torn Somalia has had no functioning government since 1991, allowing pirates to operate along the lawless coast, almost with impunity.
Most of the country is in turmoil, with the interim government and African Union peacekeepers limited to a few key areas of the capital as they battle hardline Islamist militants who control much of the south.
The World Food Programme uses overland routes from northern ports for delivering aid to central areas of the country as roads from the capital, Mogadishu, are too dangerous.
Mr Smerdon said five other trucks were also attacked and were being held by "local communities".
Most ships held off the pirate stronghold of Eyl are released after the payment of large ransoms.
But earlier AFP news agency quoted a pirate spokesman demanding the release of pirates jailed by the authorities in Somaliland, which is run independently from the rest of Somalia.
"We are concerned, but it's too early to say whether it's going to have an impact on our bringing food down from Berbera and Bossasso to central Somalia, which is the region greatest in need," Mr Smerdon told the BBC.
Over the weekend the agency said Islamist al-Shabab militants were stopping convoys of food reaching people living in displacement camps outside Mogadishu.
In January, the WFP pulled out of large parts of southern Somalia because of militant threats. | <urn:uuid:6aa57bb7-7be9-4c6b-895b-8009e451d042> | CC-MAIN-2016-40 | http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/8545485.stm | 2016-09-29T01:54:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-40/segments/1474738661775.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20160924173741-00161-ip-10-143-35-109.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.974962 | 395 |
Much has happened in the past week. The Creative Revolution that I have been discussing is gaining momentum! My presentation to the Austin Texas Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) group has been met with overwhelmingly positive response. In fact, it has gained as much "buzz" in as short a time frame as anything I have ever done.
Thanks to the efforts of Dr. Bob Price, the director of the Institute for Neuroscience and Consciousness Research (INACS) , the video of that presentation is now available online. You can watch it in its entirety here:
In the weeks to come, I will be featuring specific excerpts from this video. The entire talk is 65 minutes in length, and it starts with a discussion of an experience that I am calling "the greatest feeling in the world."
While I was in Austin, I had the good fortune to be interviewed by Chuck Robison, the co-founder of What If It Really Works? Over the past decade, Chuck and his amazing wife Karen have videotaped interviews with some the most well-respected authors and thinkers in the fields of consciousness, spirituality, and new science. I was very honored to have this very lively and thought-provoking recorded conversation with Chuck:
On the same day that both of these videos were uploaded, I also discovered that Deep Creativity has been named one of the 13 "most passionate books to read about love" by a British website called Fupping that reviews books from a wide range of genres. The reviewer wrote:
"Deep Creativity draws a link between creativity and love. The last chapter is devoted almost entirely to an the topic of unconditional love. In fact, the book ends with an unconditional love invocation that my fiancee and I have incorporated into our lovemaking. I would say, without hesitation, that this invocation has played an important part in bringing us together. One of us will say a line from the invocation and the other will repeat it, all while making eye contact with one another. These words have been so impactful that we are seriously thinking about incorporating them into our wedding vows. The unconditional love invocation alone makes this book a worthwhile read for couples interested in nurturing unconditional love in their relationship."
Thanks to Zak Parker at Fupping for this great write-up! Last but certainly not least, theTEDxTucson "[r]evolution" conference that was postponed this past January has been rescheduled for September 21. Barring anything unexpected, I will be speaking on creative inspiration that day. I will share more updates on that event in the weeks to come.
I want to hear from you! Please share your questions and comments. And sign up for my newsletter, where I will pass along the insights, ideas, and inspiration that come my way. | <urn:uuid:113e104d-38cd-4a12-97ae-f08cf5fd62ea> | CC-MAIN-2021-04 | https://www.victorshamas.com/blog/a-revolutionary-week | 2021-01-21T10:40:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-04/segments/1610703524743.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20210121101406-20210121131406-00384.warc.gz | en | 0.974964 | 563 |

A town hall meeting hosted by the Yukon Registered Nurses Association Tuesday saw candidates from all three major parties talk at length about their platforms, while offering little in the way of specifics.
In the end, questions from the audience brought by medical professionals proved to be most interesting.
All candidates pledged more “collaborative” health care and to sit down with various groups to work on different issues.
It didn’t help that candidates each had five minutes to answer four questions they were given in advance.
Very little differentiated the NDP’s Jan Stick, the Yukon Party’s Doug Graham and Liberal Tracy McPhee.
Graham served as health minister for four years. Stick has been the official opposition’s health critic, and McPhee is the territory’s former ombudsman and privacy commissioner.
The topic of nurse practitioners came up often. Nurse practitioners have more training than registered nurses and can prescribe medication, make diagnoses, and order tests.
But until 2013, they couldn’t practise in the Yukon. The first nurse practitioner was licensed in April that year.
Raquel de Queiroz, one of the territory’s five nurse practitioners, asked the candidates about the barriers nurse practitioners still face.
“There are numbers of things that fall within our scope of practice but because of political reasons we can’t do,” she said. For example, to refer patients to a specialist, she said nurse practitioners need a doctor to sign off.
Graham spoke about the negotiations that took place with other medical practitioners when nurse practitioner legislation was passed.
“Each time you expand the scope of one medical profession, you’re intruding on what has been traditionally on the scope of another profession,” he said.
Ultimately politicians can only make legislative changes, he said, and the medical community has to make it work.
Stick agreed consulting the medical community was important, though added “at some point it has to get done.”
Failing to make sufficient use of trained health care professionals is costly to the territory, she said.
McPhee insisted it isn’t enough to enact legislative changes. The government has to focus on the outcome. In this case, nurse practitioners legislation was supposed to ease some of the workload for emergency room staff and doctors.
Similarly the president of the Yukon Pharmacists Association asked about changing legislation so pharmacists could have more power to adjust or substitute medication depending on the patient’s need and to refill prescriptions.
All candidates pledged to sit down to talk about it.
A paramedic talked about his day-to-day encounters with addicts and homeless people.
“On a daily basis I see a failure to manage patients’ needs properly,” he said.
Graham cited the recent opening of the new Sarah Steele detox centre building, the construction of the new Salvation Army building and low-cost housing initiatives with the Ta’an Kwach’an Council as measures to deal with homelessness and addictions.
“Buildings don’t provide services,” McPhee responded. She emphasized the need for more programming and better housing.
Stick came back to a promise she’s made before: housing-first initiatives. Under that model, people in precarious housing situations don’t have to be sober to qualify for housing.
“To be well they need a safe place to live,” she said.
Graham announced the Yukon Party would unveil a tax credit for people who take care of loved ones, but didn’t offer any details.
In general, the parties have yet to release their entire health-care platforms.
The Yukon Party announced last week it would work towards a “made-in-Yukon” autism strategy.
On Tuesday the NDP announced it would invest $2 million over five years to improve home care. That amounts to an additional 45,000 hours of service over that time.
At the announcement, however, Hanson wasn’t able to say what percentage increase that would be.
The Department of Health and Social Services told the News $6.3 million has been set aside for home care. The entire continuing care budget is $41 million.
At the town hall, Graham also pledged to extend home care.
On the fiscal front, McPhee proposed flashcard reports, to inform Yukoners on how health-care dollars were spent.
The Whistle Bend continuing care facility also came up. Stick said the first 150-bed phase would go ahead, but said the NDP would look at cancelling the second phase.
Graham accused the NDP of wanting to cancel the entire project, calling the statement “ridiculous.”
There are long wait times for continuing care beds right now, he said.
All candidates also committed to work to reduce nurse staffing shortages in the communities.
Last July the government approved a new collective agreement with the Yukon Employees Union, adding more nurses in Beaver Creek and Destruction Bay. But outside of summer, each station will only be staffed by one nurse, with a second one rotating between both communities.
The Green Party couldn’t send a candidate to the debate.
The YRNA, which is remaining non-partisan during the election, said it would offer transportation for people on voting day. For more information visit yrna.ca.

With the constant changes coming to the industrial and manufacturing sectors, and advanced equipment like laser marking systems becoming increasingly prevalent, it’s more important than ever to be aware of laser marking safety procedures.
These procedures range from ways to protect from bodily harm while utilizing laser marking systems to ways to avoid electrical dangers on the factory floor. It’s important to know what all of these dangers are and how to train yourself and your staff in essential laser safety.
Common Laser Hazards
One aspect to remember about laser marking safety is the variety of hazards associated with the systems which are also prevalent in many other forms of equipment. Basic safety training should mean workers are already familiar with some of these issues, but employers should be aware of:
- High voltage
- Compressed gasses
- Intense radio frequency energy
Let’s take a look at each of these individually:
- For concerns regarding high voltage, it’s important to know that pulsed CO2 lasers can produce internal voltages exceeding 25,000 volts while containing large capacitors that can deliver in excess of 200 Joules of energy.
- Some pulsed lasers also utilize a flowing gas design, which requires connection to a cylinder of compressed gas. Most of the gases used for laser systems are extremely safe, though since pressurized cylinders can pose a risk, their transportation and usage should occur only when the cylinders are properly restrained.
- As for radio frequency energy, severe burns can result from the improper servicing of units which use RF generators, such as sealed CO2 lasers. Anyone servicing such units should be trained in the unit’s safety procedures, and the connections for RF energy should not be touched during operation.
Due to the laser engraving safety checks in place for marking systems, units are designed in such a way to prevent operators from coming into direct contact with the laser beam.
One of the issues that can arise, however, involves unintentional reflected light, which falls into the following categories:
- Diffuse Reflections – This type of reflection occurs when a reflective surface’s irregularities create a scattering of light in all directions. Of the types of reflections, this is the safer of the two since energy is being divided in many directions and weakened.
- Specular Reflections – This type of reflection is produced in a way that is more mirror-like, recreating close to 100% of the original light compared to the scattered light of diffuse reflections. Though there is a higher danger associated with this form, it is much less common and laser marking systems are often designed to eliminate specular reflective surfaces that would come across the beam’s path.
With proper safety procedures in place, and by following guidelines which accompany your laser marking systems, these hazards should be greatly minimized.
Skin and Eye Hazards
Due to laser engraving safety checks in place, the effects of lasers on skin are usually considered of secondary importance. Compared to laser marking and engraving systems, high powered infrared lasers utilized in applications for welding and cutting pose a much greater risk of injury.
Some potential effects that can occur if safety procedures are not followed include mild reddening, blistering, and charring, all of which are usually reversible or repairable. Other potential issues could include ulceration, scarring of the skin, depigmentation and damage to underlying organs.
In regards to eye safety, some forms of laser beams operate at a wavelength which if exposed to the eye can pass beyond to the retina. With no pain indicators present and the beam being invisible, someone exposed can be unaware at the time of occurrence.
This is just another reason why utilizing industry-standard laser safety glasses is so vital to maintaining a safe and healthy workspace.
An additional hazard that can be posed when using laser systems is that of electrical shocks. Some of the ways shocks can occur is through contact with:
- Exposed utility power utilization
- Device controls
- Power supply conductors operating at potentials of 50+ volts
Operators and service workers for laser marking systems must be especially careful to avoid these dangers by following standard safety protocols. These hazards could be experienced during:
- Set-up and installation
- Maintenance and service
- Troubleshooting, if equipment protective covers are removed
The electrical injuries that can be sustained from improper and haphazard use of laser systems can include everything from a slight tingle to serious bodily injury to death. To avoid accidental contact with these energized conductors, laser marking units utilize a barrier system within the equipment.
In the United States, laser systems are overseen by the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH), which is a component of the FDA. Depending upon the risk of a specific type of laser, it is graded from Class I to Class IV. Laser marking lasers tend to be graded as Class IV lasers, making laser marking safety all the more important.
Two important additional classifications to keep in mind are the Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) and Nominal Hazard Zone (NHZ) designations.
- Maximum Permissible Exposure – This is the highest level of laser radiation an individual can be exposed to without receiving harmful physical effects to the eye or skin. Control measures for laser marking systems are in place to ensure any laser radiation emitted falls below the MPE.
- Nominal Hazard Zone – To create conditions for flexibility in laser marking applications, the laser beam of the unit is often not fully enclosed for practicality reasons. In these instances, it is necessary to define an area of potentially hazardous laser radiation, which is the NHZ. Control measures are then put into place for this area to ensure safety during use of the laser system.
Being fully aware of these classifications and their rationales are vital to ensuring proper workplace laser marking safety.

In western Cambridgeshire, tucked away among the muddy fields, hedges and paths is a still active RAF station with a long and fascinating hisory. Royal Air Force Station Molesworth, almost always shortened to RAF Molesworth, was first constructed in 1917 and remains in use today by the U.S. Air Force.
One can almost picture the B.E.2s of the Royal Flying Corps which operated out of Molesworth during the Great War, conducting training and preparations for flyers preparing to transfer with their aircraft to France. The No. 75 Squadron occupied the airfield for sometime during this period. However, the airfield was abandoned after the war ended and went into disuse. Some of the buildings which had supported the air station where incorporated into the local farms near Bington, Old Weston, and Molesworth.
Despite the hopes of a generation, the horror of World War was to be experienced once again. As the United Kingdom found itself drawn into the conflict with the German invasion of Poland in 1939, it was not long before the Air Ministry decided to recommission the abandoned aerodrome at Molesworth. Through 1940, the runways were laid and the base infrastructure constructed to support bombers. The Royal Australian Air Force flew Vickers Wellington IVs, a medium bomber, from Molesworth from November 1941 until January of 1942 under the Royal Australian Air Force’s No. 460 Squadron. After the Australians, the RAF’s No. 159 Squadron occupied the airfied for a short time, but did not conduct flight operations from Molesworth.
It was the arrival of the U.S. Army Air Forces after America’s entry into the war that would transform Molesworth into one of the major bomber bases in England. Upgraded to a Class ‘A’ Airfield intended for use by the “heavies” – the four-engine bombers that would take the strategic bombing campaign to occupied Europe and Germany – Molesworth was radically altered and underwent major upgrades.
The first American tenants at RAF Molesworth were the 15th Bombardment Squadron, flying the Douglas A-20 Havoc/Boston III light bomber. It was from Molesworth on 4 July 1942 that six aircraft from the 15th Bombardment Squadron joined a flight of RAF bombers to conduct a low-level attack against Luftwaffe airfields in the occupied Netherlands – the first U.S. Army Air Force bombers to attack mainland Europe. The date chosen was auspicious for President Roosevelt wanted to begin the strategic bombing campaign against Germany on the 4th of July. None of the four-engine “heavies” at the time were ready though, so the President’s intent was met with the light bombers launched from Molesworth. Sadly, three aircraft on the combined mission did not return from the bombing raid, two were A-20s from the 15th Bombardment Squadron. One of the four that survived was pictured at a later date, amazingly in color:
The 15th Bombardment Squadron departed RAF Molesworth for operations in North Africa under the 12th Air Force in September 1942. It was at this time that the B-17 Flying Fortresses began arriving at RAF Molesworth, the four squadrons that would eventually comrpise the 303rd Bombardement Group (Heavy) which would fly from Molesworth until the end of the war. The 303rd Bombardment Group, consisting of the 358th, 359th, 360th and 427th Bombardment Squadrons, was destined to become one of the legendary units of the Second World War under the 8th Air Force. The first mission by the 303rd Bomb Group was flown on 17 November 1942, targeting military targets in occupied France. On 27 January 1943, the 303rd began flying missions against Germany, taking part in the 8th Air Force’s first bombing mission against Germany proper – the U-boat facilities at Wilhelmshaven.
For the next two and a half years the 303rd would fly missions deep into German territory: to the ball-bearing factories at Schweinfurt, against factories and shipyards, against rail-yards and distribution centers for the Wehrmacht. During the D-day invasion of Normandy, the 303rd bombed the Pas de Calais and then later supported the breakout from St. Lo in July 1944. It supported the army in the Battle of the Bulge and in the crossing of the Rhine in March 1945. On 25 April 1945, the 303rd flew its last mission from RAF Molesworth attacking the German armaments factory complex at Pilsen.
The 303rd Bomb Group (Heavy) flew a total of 364 missions from RAF Molesworth, comprising 10,271 sorties. The bombers shot down a confirmed 378 aircraft with 104 additional aircraft as probables. 817 men from the 303rd were killed in action and 754 become prisioners of war. After the war, the 303rd Bomb Group (Heavy) departed Molesworth for the United States via North Africa.
The airfield was returned to the Royal Air Force in July 1945 where it was used for jet trainers and Gloster Meteor IIIs were operated from Molesworth for a short period. On 10 October 1946 the training unit left and the airfield was placed in ‘care and maintenance’.
In 1951, the U.S. Air Force returned to RAF Molesworth, hosting the 582nd Air Resupply Group. The runways, taxiways and hardstands were all improved and the airfield became a critical logistics airbase for the Cold War. The 582nd provided air support – paratroop airdrops and resupply – to the U.S. Army’s 10th Special Forces Group which was stationed in Bad Tolz, Germany. The 582nd Air Resupply Group flew a variety of aircraft from Molesworth, from B-29s to C-119 Flying Boxcars and HU-16 Albatrosses. At the time, the 582nd was treated as a normal resupply group; however, its support to Army Special Forces, which were trained to infiltrate the Iron Curtain if needed, must be wondered at.
On 25 October 1956, the 582nd was reorganized and called the 42nd Troop Carrier Squadron Medium (Special). They flew HU-16s Albatrosses, C-47 Dakotas, C-119 Flying Boxcars, and C-54 Skymasters from RAF Molesworth until 3 May 1957 when the aircraft moved to RAF Alconbury. However the squadron had a short life at Alconbury and was inactivated on 8 December 1957. The C-54s and C-47s were transferred to Rhein-Main AB, Germany. The C-119s were sent to the 322nd Air Division at Evreux-Fauville AB, France. Of personal note, my grandfather was a C-119 pilot in the 322nd Air Division in Evreux-Fauville AB France at the time, a young U.S. Air Force lieutenant.
RAF Molesworth went into a maintenance status for the next twenty years, finally being deactivated officially in 1973. Only marginal maintenance was performed at Molesworth by U.S. Air Force personnel stationed a few miles away at RAF Alconbury. That changed in June 1980 when RAF Molesworth was chosen to house nuclear weapons – the BGM-109G Ground Launched Cruise Missiles or GLCMs – under the 303rd Tactical Missile Wing. The Ministry of Defence now worked on building the massive GLCM bunkers that have become a hallmark of the west Cambridgeshire countryside. All the World War II runways, taxiways and hardstands were removed. Only three large hangers from the World War II period remained. Old infrastructure from the 1950s was demolished and new buildings constructed. By December 1986, the 303rd Tactical Missile Wing was activated but when the United States and the Soviet Union signed the INF Treaty in 1987, all nuclear weapons were removed from RAF Molesworth by October 1988. In January 1989 the 303rd Tactical Missile Wing was deactivated.
During the 1980s, regular protests occured at Molesworth due to the stationing of nuclear GLCMs at the facility – part of the peace camp can still be seen outside the main gates of RAF Molesworth. This was part of the European-wide effort to oppose NATO’s basing of tactical nuclear cruise missiles in Europe which was seen at the time as a dramatic escalation in the final years of the Cold War. It was only the removal of the cruise missiles that led to the end of the protests.
In 1990, the Royal Air Force announced that RAF Molesworth would house the U.S. European Command’s Joint Analysis Centre, which still operates at the base today, still controlled by the U.S. Air Force.

Meadow Brook Writing Project Summer Institute e-Anthologyby Rebecca Rivard
Have you been searching for a teaching resource that is perpetually available and continuously updated by thousands of colleagues from every discipline and grade level? Well, this treasure of new ideas and like-minded innovators is available to you this summer through the Meadow Brook Writing Project’s summer institute. One of the pedagogically profitable tools of the summer institute is the unique e-anthology, an interactive website for summer institute participants. This online site is available to teacher consultants throughout the summer (and beyond) and affords free access to four interactive functions: Classroom Matters, Open Mic, A Day in the Life and The Guestbook.
The Guestbook is a way for you to introduce yourself to fellow institute members before the group actually meets. It’s a great way to note the diversity of experience, the grade levels, and the cross curriculum training each individual will share with you.
Classroom Matters takes you a step further; not only will you note the current practices of your colleagues in the institute, you will also be introduced to teaching ideas all over the United States from classrooms just like yours. It gives you an opportunity to have your questions answered and to immerse yourself in the newest emergent strategies in education.
While utilizing A Day in the Life you will be able to observe and comment on what is happening asynchronously in every summer National Writing Project institute across the nation. You can also engage in discussions of new teaching philosophies, various technologies, and best practices in real time.
The last gift of the e-anthology website is the Open Mic connection. As teachers of writing, we want to model good writing and need to immerse ourselves in the writing process in order to recreate and experience our students’ journeys as authors. With this link, you are able to post your own writing and get the kind of feedback you feel you need as well as provide the same for colleagues within your group and across the continent.
Rebecca is 2008 summer fellow and teacher consultant with the Meadow Brook Writing Project. She teaches writing and rhetoric courses at Oakland University. | <urn:uuid:4fafe209-97a6-4a35-a89c-780ee6beb92d> | CC-MAIN-2016-40 | http://www.oakland.edu/view_news.aspx?nid=5150&archived=1 | 2016-09-27T12:10:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-40/segments/1474738661051.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20160924173741-00264-ip-10-143-35-109.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.93161 | 445 |

While you may be thinking about what's in store for 2018, it's time to think about what's not going to happen...like near-retirement fashion trends.
2017 had trends with real momentum. Flattering, easy to wear and attention-grabbing—Hollywood's A-list stylists discovered must-have looks that turned everyone's Instagram feed into a collection of interpretations of the same outfit. After spending some time scrolling through, the fatigue has weighed in and now we're saying, we saw, we wore, we conquered. What's next?
Case in point: Gigi Hadid's mink-lined loafers. These popular Gucci shoes had their moment, causing bloggers, celebs and fashion followers into a frenzy, elevating their casual looks with these boss-appropriate beauties. But, we won't be seeing them (at least in this form) in 2018. There's something new in store.
Want to know which styles will take their final bow before the new year? Check out the trends that won't make it to 2018 below!

Ashley Graham's ensemble will make you want to buy a corset belt. It's flattering on her curvaceous body and breaks up her blush-toned look. It's a must-have. And, a lot of celebrities have it. Now that it's had its moment, it's time to put this constricting accessory in our fashion past.
J. Webber / Splash News
Do these glasses look amazing with Rita Ora's multicolored outwear? Yes. Does this picture make you want to shop online? Probably. Here's the thing: In real life, for everyday, many of this year's popular sunglasses just don't translate. Our advice: Try them on before you invest, because in this instance it's more like "one size fits a few."
How low can you go? Necklines are continuing to take a dive, making fashion tape for influencers like Olivia Culpo a wardrobe necessity in 2017. Side boob, under boob, all of the boob—we saw it all this year. It's an attractive cut, but we're thinking necklines will be on the incline come 2018.

The mink-accented loafer trend was hard to miss when so many bloggers and fashion stars wore the comfortable yet attention-grabbing look between late 2015 and this year. Paired with somewhat casual outfits, like Gigi Hadid's chinos and bright hoodie, the popularity of these furry beauties posed a concern to animal rights activists, as well as Gucci, who announced recently that it is going fur-free.
Rihanna slayed this trend. One glimpse at her forward-thinking fashion statement, and you may be pulling down the shoulders of your denim jacket. Until you realize that your incapable of living your day-to-day life drowning in a sea of denim, incapable of being fully mobile. We tried it. It wasn't worth it. Next!
Cute and sexy, this trend took over celebrity style. From Kendall Jenner to her 4-year-old niece North West, everyone was wearing T-shirts under slip dresses and lingerie. Now, you can buy them together. That may be a sign it's time to move on. Luckily, celebs have already ditched the T-shirt, wearing their spaghetti-strap nightgowns alone.

No pants? No problem, according to celebs like Kourtney Kardashian. But hey, if the T-shirt is as long as a dress, who needs bottoms. Paired with thigh-high boots, this look has travelled through concerts, A-list events and street style with ease. Now, it's expected and thus ready to be retired.

The Global Climate Partnership Fund (GCPF) is an innovative public-private partnership dedicated to contributing to the mitigation of climate change through the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. The Fund joined UNEP FI in order to join efforts and collaborate with likeminded market actors in achieving its mission: mitigation climate change.
It focuses on financing energy efficiency and renewable energy projects for SMEs and private households in developing countries, primarily in cooperation with local financial institutions. The Fund also finances projects directly. Investments should contribute significantly towards energy savings and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, the Fund has set a threshold for any energy efficiency project that it finances to achieve at least a 20 % reduction in projected emissions. On the renewable energy (RE) side, the Fund targets small to medium sized projects that are beyond the reach of the traditional RE financing providers due to their small size and perceived lower bankability. GCPF attempts to maximize its impact by prioritizing countries with the most significant greenhouse gas emissions and the highest potential to increase efficiency.
Summary of sustainability strategy
The Fund’s mission is to mitigate climate change. The Fund aims to do so by investing in energy efficient technologies and renewable energy in developing countries. To effectively formulate the Fund’s impact, the investment manager currently uses a number of development impact indicators linked to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). The main impact of the Fund is in the field of climate stability through the reduction of GHG emissions. However, through its financing, the Fund’s impact goes beyond climate change mitigation, with a positive impact on well-being, employment, resource usage and markets and infrastructure development in investee countries.
Climate stability (SDG 7,13) – The Fund mobilizes private and public capital for climate finance. The demonstration effect of the Fund is expected to be conducive to the sustained participation of private investors in climate finance in developing countries.
Basic needs (SDG 3,7) – The Fund provides access to affordable and clean energy by extending loans dedicated to providing energy solutions (Solar Homes systems, solar appliances etc.) to low income households, directly or via financial institutions.
Well Being (SDG 3,11) – The Fund brings about improvements in health conditions by reducing domestic and ambient pollution levels, a leading cause of mortality among women and children in the developing world.
Decent work (SDG 8) – By investing in financial institutions, local companies and projects the Fund brings capital to developing countries, thus creating employment. By exploring new green lending products with financial institutions, the Fund fosters innovation and economic growth.

French court suspends burkini ban
Highest administrative court says prohibition goes against ‘fundamental liberties’ of citizens
"France’s highest administrative court has suspended a ban on the body-covering burkini swimsuits, saying that it went “against fundamental liberties” of French citizens to choose what to wear in public.
"The Conseil d’Etat said on Friday the ban in the Mediterranean town of Villeneuve-Loubet was “illegal”, adding that the ruling set a precedent that applied to all of the towns that have banned the garment this summer.
"The debate over the burkini has split France’s government and society. It has also drawn anger abroad after images showed French police appearing to force a Muslim woman to take off her tunic on a beach.
"Debates over Muslim integration in France have been tense following a series of terrorist attacks in the country by Islamist extremists. The discourse over the issue has been particularly polemical as politicians are gearing up for the presidential elections next year.
"Socialist prime minister Manuel Valls came out in support of the local burkini bans earlier this month, saying the swimsuit, which typically covers the body but not the face, reflects a world view based on “the enslavement of women”.
"The court on Friday said the decree to ban burkinis in Villeneuve-Loubet “seriously, and clearly illegally, breached the fundamental freedoms to come and go, the freedom of beliefs and individual freedom”.
"The suspension of the ban comes pending a definitive ruling. The court will take more time to prepare a judgment on the underlying legality of the case."

The week that straddled February and March brought with it more pasta making than I’ve done in the last year. And I am somewhat ashamed. You see, my grandmother made pasta quite frequently – to her it was not an occasion, but rather a chore that happened along with many others on any given day.
And between the demonization of carbohydrates and gluten and the availability of good, imported pastas, I’ve either shied away from eating pasta for fear of being shunned or I’ve used dried pasta when I do make it.
But I’m getting back to my roots – and of course putting my twist on things.
My friend Lu and I made pink heart-shaped ravioli for a Valentine’s Dinner we co-hosted last year. And since then she has been asking me to make homemade pasta with her again. We had a pasta-making day scheduled over the summer with some other friends; but health issues and work schedules interfered. Finally, we landed on February 23rd as the day. We invited several other friends to join us. Some were not able to make it; but we sure had fun with those who did.
Before everyone arrived, I prepped ingredients for four different pastas. Lemon, carrot, pesto, and brown rice flour (for the gluten-free among us). Lu arrived first, and she and I set about making the dough. We worked without a food processor (I know it’s easier, but we were going old school). I taught her the well method, and she learned very quickly the importance of keeping a wall of flour around the wet ingredients until you begin incorporating the flour. Like many life lessons, it is one you only need to learn once!
For the lemon pasta, carrot pasta, and pesto pasta I used a mix of semolina and all-purpose flours. We flavored the lemon pasta with the zest and juice of fresh lemons and we used a small amount of highly concentrated lemon oil. We flavored the carrot pasta with pureed carrots that had been roasted with olive oil, salt and pepper. And we flavored the pesto pasta with pesto Lu made with her summer haul of basil last year.
After we had finished mixing the dough for the lemon, carrot and pesto pastas and I was mixing the dough for the brown rice flour pasta, our friend Monique arrived. We brought her up to speed on what we were doing and she jumped right in!
I should mention that we were highly equipped for this undertaking. We had two hand-crank pasta machines and a hand-crank pasta extruder. With the hand-crank machines we had cutters for fettuccine, spaghetti, and lasagnette. Lu also brought her drying rack. Of course we laughed about this because the last time Lu and I made pasta together I showed her my grandmother’s method of drying pasta – hanging it over the back of the dining room chairs!
After the pasta dough had a chance to rest for at least 30 minutes we began rolling and cutting. If you’ve ever done this or seen it done, you know you need more than two hands. It was a good thing we had several! By the time we began cutting the pasta our friend Holly had arrived as well.
I am thankful that this group of ladies is as inquisitive and tolerant of changing gears as I am. We started by rolling and cutting the lemon pasta into fettuccine noodles. Then we moved on to the carrot pasta and found that the carrots should probably have been cooked to a softer stage because the cutters weren’t sharp enough to cut some of the carrot pieces. But we did not lose heart – we simply made lasagna noodles!
As we were extruding the pesto pasta into rotini, we concluded that we should have lessened the amount of egg we used because the pesto was so oil-rich. We switched to the elbow macaroni die and they turned out fine, but were a bit on the wet side.
The brown rice pasta was considerably drier and had a “grittier” texture than the others we had mixed; but we found that the dough was perfect for extruding. I thought for sure it would be more difficult to extrude because it was dry; but of all the pasta doughs we made (stay tuned), it was by far the easiest to extrude. I think the lack of gluten made a difference. We were able to make beautiful rigatoni out of it!
After we got the first four batches done, there was a resounding, “Let’s make some more!” So we did. Since we were in an experimental mood, we went for broke and raided the spice cabinet. We made the next three doughs with all-purpose flour only (no semolina flour). The flavors were (1) aleppo pepper (which is similar to, but more mild and “raisinier” than peperoncino flakes – the ones you often see in shakers at pizza shops), (2) smoked paprika, and (3) Herb de Provence (a mixture of French herbs typical of Provence – often including savory, fennel, basil, thyme and lavender).
While we waited for the final three doughs to rest, we rested too. We had a snack and chatted with one another. We talked and laughed and nibbled on crackers, sweet peppers, and a cheese log I made. I flattened a block of cream cheese into a rectangle between two pieces of plastic wrap, filled it with homemade fig and caramelized onion jam, rolled it into a log and coated it with pistachios. Mmm mmm mmm! When our resting period was over, Holly had to leave. We were sad to see her go, but we soldiered on in her absence.
We rolled and cut the aleppo pepper pasta using the die for lasagnette. The looked stunning – my favorite of the day! We tried extruding the smoked paprika pasta using the bucatini die (thick spaghetti with a hole running through the center); but our arms got seriously tired trying to get the pasta to go through such a tiny die. So we switched back to the rigatoni die. I’m sorry to report we still had a lot of trouble extruding this one; but I am happy to report WE DID NOT GIVE UP!!!! We kept going until we had extruded several VERY long rigatoni and we laughed about how sore our arms would be the next day. I seriously did feel it in my upper arms and shoulders on Sunday! Finally, we cut the Herb de Provence dough into fettuccine noodles.
After we cleaned up, we divided the pasta among the three of us – Holly left too early to take any with her, but rest assured she will be invited to enjoy some! Monique took the brown rice rigatoni since she is eating gluten-free. Lu and I split the rest.
My husband and Lu’s husband have excellent timing. JUST as we finished cleaning up, Jeff arrived home from work and Mark arrived with extra to-go containers for Lu. Monique set out for home and Lu and Mark stayed for dinner.
I made some chicken cutlets and a salad and we decided to cook the aleppo pepper lasagnette and serve it with a simple aglio e olio and some fresh grated parmesan cheese. While Lu and I were preparing dinner, Jeff and Mark sampled the cheese log and some beers that Jeff had been saving for a “special occasion.” What could be more special than an impromptu dinner with friends?
Our pasta making day was a rousing success, but it was not the end of my pasta adventures that week! The Tuesday following our pasta-palooza, I was scheduled to volunteer at a hands-on class at the Kitchen Shoppe. Although it unnerves Jeff, I typically do not look at what will be made in class until I get to the Kitchen Shoppe. I was delighted to find that the fare for the evening was ravioli!
Tracee, the instructor, did a wonderful job of walking the students through the process of making ravioli. She began by teaching them to make the dough – using a modified version of the well-method. Rather than doing it on the counter top, like my grandmother taught me, she made it in a bowl – which makes for a lot less messy classroom environment.
After teaching the students to make the dough by hand, Tracee demonstrated making dough in the food processor – a much quicker, less strenuous way of making dough. As I was walking from table to table helping students follow Tracee’s instructions, one of the students asked me if I make pasta by hand or use the food processor. I think she was surprised by my answer and the quick recap of my pasta-palooza, which revealed that the food processor is nowhere in sight when I make pasta. I feel much more connected to my past when I make pasta by hand!
While the students’ dough rested, Tracee demonstrated how to roll the pasta into sheets and how to use ravioli frames and cutters. She also showed them how to make two different fillings – a traditional beef filling and a ricotta filling. Then the class jumped in. They helped one another roll dough and got hands-on experience using the ravioli frames and cutters. There was a lot of chatter and much laughter in the air. And when their ravioli were filled they had the option of taking them home or cooking them in class and sampling. Almost everyone cooked and sampled at least a few ravioli. The students left with full bellies and a sense of accomplishment! Great job, Tracee.
There are many perks to volunteering at the Kitchen Shoppe; but one of my favorite when there is an abundance of leftovers and we get to take things home. It’s one of Jeff’s favorite perks too! At the end of the ravioli class, there was enough left over filling and dough that all the volunteers got to take some home.
This meant another day of pasta making (well, assembling) for me. The next day I had fun rolling dough and turning it into ravioli. Although I wasn’t able to locate my ravioli frame, I was able to again go old school, using my rotary ravioli cutter.
There is honestly nothing like fresh pasta. It has a texture you just cannot get from the dried variety. If you’ve never made it, I would encourage you to take a class and/or ask a friend with experience to teach you. To paraphrase Julia Child, “This is my invariable advice to people: Learn how to make pasta — try new recipes, learn from your mistakes, be fearless, and above all have fun!” | <urn:uuid:210a2cbb-7e34-4c35-8933-a9de3fd9d733> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://cookeatentertain.com/a-peek-at-pasta/ | 2017-06-23T10:16:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320049.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20170623100455-20170623120455-00341.warc.gz | en | 0.975776 | 2,283 |

FAIRFAX, Va. – (January 26, 2015) Fairfax 2015 and the World Police & Fire Games (WPFG) today announced their growing lineup of Fairfax 2015 Proud Host partners. To date, 24 local entities have committed to serving as Proud Host partners for the Games, which are expected to bring more than 12,000 law enforcement officer and firefighter athletes to Fairfax County and the National Capital Region.

Proud Hosts will then be recognized at the venue of the sport chosen and have additional activation rights at that location. With the Sports Draft Party selection deadline of February 16, fast approaching, Fairfax 2015 is expecting to double the current number of participating companies.
“The World Police and Fire Games create a truly unique opportunity for athletes to enjoy the camaraderie of the global public safety community; however, this experience wouldn’t be possible without the engagement of local businesses,” said Fairfax 2015 CEO, Bill Knight. “The Proud Host program creates a unique platform for businesses to get involved, engaging them through the Sport Draft Party and truly allowing Proud Hosts to be a big part of the Games. We’re thrilled to have the opportunity to work together with local businesses in support police officers and firefighters participating in the Games.”

I sincerely encourage my fellow residents and area organizations to support and engage in the Games!”
In addition to the Proud Host program, Fairfax 2015 also offers Official Partner and Official Provider programs targeted at companies interested in greater integration into the Games. 2015 Games Partners include Keolis, Northrop Grumman, Inova, Scott Safety, Pierce and SAIC. Current official Providers are Cardinal Bank, ICMA-RC, Venable LLP, Guernsey and Cordia Partners. The support for the first responder community provided by Proud Hosts, Providers and Official Partners is critical to making the 2015 World Police and Fire Games possible.

As if I wasn’t excited enough for this week’s episodes, KBS wickedly ups the anticipation by releasing this new still of our leads locked in an unavoidable embrace. Heh.
As seen in the preview for episode 9, Shi Jin once again catches Mo Yeon when she loses her balance, and instantaneously, their eyes fix on each other. Eeep! My scapping fingers will be burning up my keyboard during this scene, which takes place after Mo Yeon’s accidental confession to Shi Jin … Hurrah! And equipped with the knowledge of her feelings, Shi Jin will be killing us with more of those flirty looks, irresistible smirks, and sly moves! Yep.

Pride | Ezekiel 31:10-11
Ezekiel 31:10-11 Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: Because the great cedar towered over the thick foliage, and because it was proud of its height, I gave it into the hands of the ruler of the nations, for him to deal with according to its wickedness. I cast it aside….
Through the prophet Ezekiel, God let the nations know that He was in charge. Their vast armies were no match for His power. Their economies could not out resource His resources. He used countries for His sovereign purposes. But He never let them get by with their wickedness.
The great Empire of Egypt “towered over” other nations…for a time. They were proud of their attainments and accomplishments. They felt indestructible. They boasted of their great height. However, when God had had enough of their conceit, He cast them aside.
We need to remember that “Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall” (Proverbs 16:18). The things that puff us up drag us down. When we become proud of our “height,” God will trim us back. He will not leave His children, but He will humble us. Living in the highlands of pride we have a tendency to look down on God. He will keep us in a place where we must look up to Him. That’s the position of dependence, service, and worship. The spiritual journey is not a path for those with proud, self-satisfied swagger.
Father, help us to not think too highly of ourselves. May our confidence come from You alone. Help us to deal with our pride before a devastating fall. In Jesus’ name. Amen. | <urn:uuid:cf332ceb-ac5d-41e9-af81-c5101d61fd31> | CC-MAIN-2016-22 | http://www.crosswalk.com/devotionals/the-journey-with-ron-moore/the-journey-august-23-2013.html | 2016-05-25T09:22:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-22/segments/1464049274324.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20160524002114-00055-ip-10-185-217-139.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.974755 | 373 |

The following is not a work of fiction. Dylan asked me to run it as a favor, and I’m doing so. If you’re not familiar with his work, see this and this and this and this previously published in this blog. The strange way the Internet sometimes works — despite its date of Monday, I only got it in my emailbox today, Friday, August 10.
I know I’ve always told you that your memory is second in line to none. But I’m willing to lay healthy odds that even you don’t remember what the weather was like at Point Au Roche that Sunday in early April.
It’s Monday and it’s mid-August.
It’s early evening, gray, shadowy, and quiet. The pitter-patter of raindrops on the hood and roof of my car outside is the only sound keeping me from going stark staring mad.
I keep thinking of something Lincoln once said: “I don’t claim to have controlled events; but confess plainly that events have controlled me.”
Earlier, I watched your CR-V disappear out of eyeshot and into the mist on Ridge Top Road. It occurs to me now that I may never see you or your CR-V on Ridge Top Road again. And it breaks my heart.
Simply put (too simply), I don’t quite know how this happened to us. With you gone, there isn’t anything familiar left. Just me and Esme again. Boy, when you lose someone, you really are reminded of their importance in your story.
I didn’t need any reminders.
I’ve kept in mind your importance in my story every day since our first meeting at Mangia. I never, ever—for a half-second, even—took you or our chance meeting in this tremendous world for granted.
You’ve been slipping through my fingers for weeks now and I could never understand why. I still can’t. It doesn’t make sense to me. It doesn’t register. I close my eyes and think of the memories we’ve made—the good, the bad, the funny, the genuine—and can’t help but feel like it’s far too soon to end the making of these memories. I stare at the wall and see these memories—they play like a silent movie: the first time I shook your right hand with my left; the time you searched for capers through my dinner; the way you looked on that chilly night when we skipped rocks at Point Au Roche; the first time I met Jeremiah; the time in Koffee Kat when that old bastard asked if I was in the same counselor program as you; the balloon/Blockbuster incident; the first time I saw you in your cowgirl shirt and hat at Washland and how I thought to myself I’d never laid eyes on a girl like you before; the first time we kissed on your couch in the middle of the night; the time I got comfortable in the passenger’s seat and forgot to put your wheelchair away; the time your mom called me Collin; the time at the theatre when I leaned over, my knees shaking, and asked you to go steady and you said, “Thanks;” the time Esme pissed on your rabbit; the first time we went to Guma’s and had our ears assaulted by the hipster girls on cellular phones sitting behind us; the first time we walked together and how I wanted so badly to kiss you but couldn’t get up the courage; the time I fell backwards out of your wheelchair in that ditch outside your apartment; how excited I always got when I received a midnight text message from you; the time I said goodnight to you after promising that I’d stay put; the first time we ordered in and watched a movie on your couch; the time we necked in your country kitchen while basking in the early summer sun; the time at Perkins when you went to the bathroom and Jeremiah pitched a fit—I was lost; the time at Lake Eaton when you made PB & J sandwiches on the CR-V picnic table; the way it felt to hold you in front of the camera in Time’s Square; the time we returned the chair at Target and told the customer service lady that it didn’t match the rest of our patio furniture; the long, sweaty drive from New Jersey to the Adirondacks; the way you looked the first time I saw you wake up in the morning; the way you looked the first time I leaned over and said goodnight to you. The way you looked this afternoon from a slight distance through your mist-shrouded windshield while I spoke with your sister on my porch.
What a wonderful, wonderful time we’ve had together—why you’ve chosen to end it now is beyond my level of comprehension. The only thing I’ve ever wanted for you, my sweet, sweet girl, is the world. I wanted to give you everything because, in my opinion, you deserve everything. The thought of never holding your hands again makes my eyes tear and forms a lump in my throat. The thought of never rubbing your October arms again makes the lump in my throat bigger. And the thought of you with some jerk-off guy-guy who could never—in two thousand billion years—feel for you the way I do, makes me want to vomit.
Perhaps I’m still in shock. Winded. Suckerpunched. The Adirondacks will not be the same without you by my side. Nothing will be the same without you by my side. Maybe I’m an idealistic son of a bitch, but goddamn it, I wanted you to be by my side forever, and vice versa. I’ve always looked at our chance meeting as something truly unique and extraordinary, a twist of fate—you took me off the road and gave me shelter; you made me see a side of the world I’d forgotten about; you made me the happiest bastard in the world. I’m sorry that your interest in me has changed. I don’t know why it has, but I’m sure you have your reasons. Please know that my interest in you has not changed. I’ve meant every word I’ve ever said to you, and the thought of moving ahead with nothing but memories of you makes my innards burn. For all the comfort they may provide, memories are little more than a reminder that things can never be the same; that the past is gone forever.
I’ve been kicked when I’ve been down before—so many times it’s a miracle I still function—but I’ve always gotten back up. This time won’t be so easy. I was still on my knees when we met four months ago. My heart is broken…but still beating. I’ll somehow manage to shrug this off and get back on my feet. I don’t know how right now, but I will. And when I do, I’ll get back on track and turn both books into bestsellers (you heard it here first).
You’re once in ten lifetimes, Chelsea. It’s stupid, irresponsible, and foolish to let you slide away. Of course, the decision here isn’t all mine. If it were up to me, I’d never let you go, because I’m smart enough to know a good thing when I see it. I’m smart enough to know that certain things do not come around twice. You’re my snow globe girl—I’ll always think of you that way. I’ll always know you belong inside of one—far away from seedy, slimy guy-guys who only want you for one thing; safely tucked away and out of range of the evils this world produces.
As I sit here in my bedroom—blankets, pillows, sweatshirts all around me, I’m reminded that these are artifacts of a gentler time. Losing someone is never easy—losing the last person in your life is even less easy. I’ll always want the very best for you, my Chelsea. I know you’ll never meet anybody who feels about you the way I do—it just isn’t possible. But I’ll always hope you find what it is you’re looking for in this cruel, dog-eat-dog world. With autumn—and ultimately winter—closing in, I’ll often think of you and wonder what you’re reading, what you’re thinking, and from where you’re doing it. I’ll think of Jeremiah and wonder if he’s still making growling noises when you say the word tiger. I’ll wonder what could’ve been between us, had you not changed your heart. I’ll wonder if there are two people like us sitting on the beach at Point Au Roche on the verge of an unspoken crisis like we were yesterday. I’ll wonder about a lot of things. And I’ll miss a lot of things.
It’s Monday and it’s mid-August. | <urn:uuid:687a543c-e9ba-41ac-a1c2-09cd583af6a1> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | https://mikecane.wordpress.com/2007/08/10/ | 2017-06-26T01:54:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320666.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20170626013946-20170626033946-00253.warc.gz | en | 0.952068 | 1,966 |
Wrist pain is not uncommon. Injuries and repetitive motion can result in problems that can cause pain in this joint.
If you are experiencing pain in your wrist, making an appointment with the best pain doctor in Los Angeles is in order. They can run the proper tests to make a definitive diagnosis so that you can identify the source of your pain.
Both rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis can cause pain in the wrist. Osteoarthritis results from wear and tear on the joint in the wrist. Over time, the cartilage wears away and the bones rub against each other. This can result in pain and stiffness.
Rheumatoid arthritis is a type of autoimmune disease. Pain in the wrists can result from the synovium becoming thicker. The synovium is a tissue that lines your joints and creates a fluid that contributes to joint lubrication.
Over time, the inflammation that occurs with rheumatoid arthritis can worsen, resulting in damage to the cartilage. The symptoms may include stiffness that is worse in the morning, pain, swelling and tenderness.
This type of cyst can occur in areas throughout the body, but they most commonly develop on the wrist. They can change in size and disappear and appear quickly. The pain that occurs can make it difficult to use the affected wrist.
What causes these cysts remains unknown, but they are most common between ages 15 and 40. The best pain doctor in Los Angeles may aspirate the fluid from the cyst to reduce its size and your symptoms. However, they often return. In these cases, surgery to remove it might be considered.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome can cause numbness, pain and tingling in the affected wrist, arm and hand. It results from the median nerve becoming compressed. Repetitive motion is one of the most common causes. Women who are pregnant, and people with conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes and thyroid hormone imbalances are at a higher risk for this condition.
Wrist tendonitis is sometimes also referred to as de Quervain’s disease. It can cause pain at the thumb’s base on the back of your wrist. It most often occurs in people who use their thumb to pinch or grasp repeatedly.
The best pain doctor in Los Angeles may start with conservative treatments. These include anti-inflammatory medications, rest, bracing and icing the affected wrist. It is rare to require surgery for this condition.
The scaphoid bone is a small bone in your wrist. The fracture causes tenderness and pain just under your thumb’s base. When trying to grasp or pinch something, the pain can worsen. Depending on the severity of the fracture, treatment ranges from surgery to casting.
It is important to see the best pain doctor in Los Angeles as soon as wrist pain occurs. Stop the activity that you are doing and rest your wrist. It is important to get a prompt diagnosis because if you try to just work through the pain, there is a risk for worsening your injury or condition. | <urn:uuid:c9964c6d-e392-41db-80f7-976ed7f7693c> | CC-MAIN-2022-21 | https://losangelespainspecialist.com/best-pain-doctor-in-los-angeles/ | 2022-05-22T00:18:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-21/segments/1652662543264.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20220522001016-20220522031016-00107.warc.gz | en | 0.947415 | 654 |

MY HEROES IN FLOOD
MY HEROES IN FLOOD
Perhaps this is one more experience that I cannot forget.
It happened after I landed at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) at midnight of August 19, 2013, after a three-hour delayed flight from Puerto Princesa City where I attended a hearing for my clients.
I was told by my nephews that they were able to cross flooded streets on my 1997 Toyota Corolla to fetch me from NAIA Terminal 3.
After leaving the airport, I told my nephew, Joshua Causing Syjueco, to take the Skyway in going back to my office in Malate, Manila.
Only to find that the Skyway was closed at the Makati Exit portion and we were forced to come down to Makati instead of the planned Buendia Exit.
Through Makati, my car waded through foot-high floods. Joshua who was driving chose to drive through the center of each road we took because he thought it is the shallowest portion of any street.
When we reached Don Chino Roces Ave. (Pasong Tamo St.), Joshua failed to notice a center island and my car climbed on it.
I told my nephew to drive back. But the car reached to a point that the car cannot move back further.
I saw about five (5) persons on the street and I summoned for help. They all studied how to get the car off the island. One suggested to use the jack. The jack was put out of my back compartment and placed at the left bottom part of the driver's area, near the left front tire.
When the car was moved high enough, somebody brought out three small wood planks of the size of 2 inches by three inches joined together by two short-length lumber.
Then I directed them to put the plank in front of the left tire and slant it towards the island and we all pushed the car to the right. Quickly, all the two front wheels were put back to the road.
Then the rear left tire cannot hurdle the island. But the persons who helped were strong enough to push the car forward.
Then I gave them P400 out of my generosity. I took over the wheels and we trekked Pasong Tamo and turned left at Buendia Ave.
Then I stopped at a point on Buendia that was about 100 meters before crossing over the railroad tacks.
I studied the waters again.
When I saw some cars dared and were able to cross, I moved ahead. I hurdled that flood.
After crossing President Osmeña highway, I was stopped again by the sight of a deep water before crossing Filmore St.
I studied the waters again. Confident that my Toyota can cross, I drove ahead and turned right at Filmore St. The waters here were the deepest of all we passed through. But we succeeded until we reached the portion of Filmore, in front of Cash & Carry Mall, where there was no water.
Then, I moved forward despite the noisy engine caused by the damaged "tambutso" courtesy of that center island incident.
I crossed Vito Cruz St. and moved until I reached and turned left at Estrada St.
Then the last deep water confronted me again. I told my nephews to go out of the car and walk on the water for me to know the depth.
After ascertaining my car can roll through I drove again.
We reached my office at 1:30 am.
But when I started telling my experience to a doctor friend, it was only then I recalled that I forgot to get the alligator jack we used to lift my car high enough to place the gang plank.
I did not know if I could still get back the alligator jack because I forgot the faces of those heroes who helped me.
About an hour after I settled in my office, heavy rains started to pour again. Until this writing at 4:00 a.m., the heaven was still crying hard.
All classes and offices have been suspended for the second day (August 20, 2013).
Surfing the internet, I learned all the dams were overflowing and their gates had been opened.
These overflow of water caused water to spill over from the rivers. This was the reasons why nine (9) towns of Cavite were chest-deep under water at the time of writing.
At least 12 other provinces were as deep in shit.
But as I observed in the internet front, ALL FILIPINOS ONLINE CANNOT BE STOPPED BY RAINS AND FLOODS FROM EXPRESSING UNENDING OUTRAGE OVER PORK BARRELS.
Whatever, I thank those heroes of mine: I am safe in my office. | <urn:uuid:e5eb575a-67dc-4aeb-b92a-3a48aa723672> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://totocausing.blogspot.com/2013/08/my-heroes-in-flood.html | 2017-11-21T19:21:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806422.29/warc/CC-MAIN-20171121185236-20171121205236-00606.warc.gz | en | 0.980265 | 989 |
Mumbai: The Reserve Bank of India in May almost recovered the dollars it sold in March and April to stem the currency slide following the portfolio investor pull out due to Covid-19 concerns, and is poised to raise the reserves to new record levels to buffer the financial markets against any contagion.
The RBI bought a net $4.4 billion from the spot dollar market in May, after it sold $5.2 billion in March-April, data from the central bank showed. The RBI’s intervention helped the rupee gain 29 paise against the dollar during the month. The RBI also purchased an additional $219 million in May from the forward market, the data showed.
“The RBI’s foreign exchange policy is reverting to the Jalan-Reddy practice of building high reserves to guard against contagion,” said Astha Gudwani, an economist at the Bank of America. “Experience suggests that higher forex reserves actually lead to higher FPI inflows by comforting investors.”
India’s foreign exchange reserves rose to a record $513 billion as the central bank accumulated the inflows from portfolio investors as well as foreign direct investments. A lot of investments flowed due to the sale of shares in Bharti Airtel and Kotak Mahindra Bank. Billions of dollars are set to flow in with investments of firms such as Intel, KKR and others in Reliance Industries’ Jio Platforms.
Economic activity and market sentiments have also started improving in May. With the easing of lockdown restrictions from June, businesses have opened and employment has been gaining pace.
The RBI has bought an estimated $5.6 billion in the week ending July 5 and $25 billion since April, a report by Bank of America Merrill Lynch said. “We continue to expect the RBI to persist with its asymmetrical forex policy of buying forex if the dollar weakens and letting the rupee depreciate if it strengthens," said Gudwani.
Bank of America expects the reserves to climb to $550 billion.
The allegations under inquiry relate to executives purportedly providing benefits worth crores of rupees to some vendors and supply partners by sourcing parts from them at an inflated cost, according to people aware of the developments. | <urn:uuid:3f8af382-1110-42b3-9494-15c84de1639f> | CC-MAIN-2023-06 | https://auto.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/industry/rbis-dollar-buys-in-may-cover-mar-apr-sales-to-stem-rupee-slide/76954795 | 2023-01-27T04:35:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-06/segments/1674764494936.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20230127033656-20230127063656-00318.warc.gz | en | 0.968145 | 470 |
Rivita – Silent Nights
|Rivita - Silent Nights|
Release Date: 22nd July 2016
I don’t get many submissions from India (off the top of my head, this is the first) so this latest release from New Delhi diva Rivita piqued my interest immediately. As a graduate of BIMM you would expect a certain level of professionalism and ‘Silent Nights’ doesn’t disappoint on that front with some slick production and plenty of delay on the acoustic guitar notes. The squelchy synth notes and Rivita’s breathy vocal give this a slightly 80s feel and that’s not necessarily a bad thing but I’m still waiting for this song to kick in properly. There’s no big payoff to the low key verses which is a shame as it feels like this song could be building up to something but it never quite gets there. Solid enough stuff, then, but solid isn’t really a word you want to associate with pop music these days, is it? A few more risks and a bit more experimentation wouldn’t do Rivita’s music any harm if she wants to take things to the next level.

After two years, the University of Iowa business school’s headline-making “application tweet” contest has seen its last days.
Back in summer 2011, the Tippie School of Management announced a pilot program asking applicants to explain, via one tweet, why they would be a good Tipple candidate and future MBA hire.
The initiative was a success, and the school made it a formal part of the application process as of last year. Students could either write a second essay, or write a thought-provoking tweet. Those who chose the “twessay” were entered into a contest for a full-tuition Tippie scholarship.
Unfortunately, the buck stopped there. The Twitter contest was popular with applications, but didn’t live up to the school’s hopes, according to Jodi Schafer, Tippie’s director of MBA admissions and financial aid. The admissions had hoped to see innovation, such as tweets linking to a video or PowerPoint, or a showcase of the candidate’s personality.
In 2011, the year Tippie piloted the contest, Texas applicant John Yates for submitting a tweet in the form of a haiku. Amber Davis, a University of Iowa alum from Arkansas, won the $36,400 domestic scholarship contest last year with a tweet that linked to a self-produced video about herself; and Indian applicant Rahul Rathi won last year’s international scholarship contest with a tweet that linked to a photo slideshow highlighting his strengths.
But those standouts were just that – an anomaly among mediocre entries. Some of that had to do with lack of comfort with Twitter. In fact, apparently many applicants admitted during admissions interviews that they either didn’t tweet regularly, or didn’t have a Twitter account.
Other business schools are starting to integrate innovative admissions practices into their vetting process. For example, Duke’s Fuqua School of Business now requires applicants to submit a list of 25 “random things,” like life experiences, achievements or fun facts. But none have touched the Twitter essay.
What do you think about the idea of involving social media in graduate school applications? Are you surprised that it didn’t prove successful at Tippie?

Have you ever wondered why you are picked to be on jury duty? Most people make all sorts of sounds at the thought of being selected. I took a drawing approach.
Some years back I was selected as one of ten or so jury members to serve a three-month term on a grand jury. We met three days a week all day and herd cases from every walk of life. This was not the typical jury for one case, rather a tome of potential cases with 10 to 15 per day. Our task was to hear basics of each case and vote on if it had merit to continue on. To pass the time in between and to record impressions of the experiences I did a number of drawings. They were quick reactions to stories told, nothing specific. It was a way to pass the time between hearing cases.
We herd from all walks of life, police, mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, prosecutors, grandmothers, witnesses, victims and many others. It was a revealing cross section of the town I live in and how life is such a challenge. Drugs, abuse, guns, love and hate, you name it, it was all there, each day, over and over. Guns were everywhere.
After a while I became almost numb to the stories, at other times I would cry on my way home, not knowing what to do, wanting to change what was going on. I imagined the “system” would solve the issues and I was one small cog in a machine that is our judicial process at that moment. I thought my role as a citizen was complete because I was a part of this effort and I could simply move on. Surprisingly I have sat on other cases beyond this experience and I think I am not done, nor will it ever be for the foreseeable future. There is something about me that gets me on a jury duty. I have that “nice guy” syndrome.
I have since struggled with how or if I should share my jury journey. I am still torn and not quite sure of its totality or relevance. I imagine it will be many years before I can process my learnings. As a designer, I appreciate the power of visuals from where ever they come. The images I share here are a selection from my sketchbook with some added color that I hope will give pause for how others might reflect their jury experience.
Since those days much has transpired in the town I call home, St. Louis Missouri. The struggle for justice continues, ever needing us to revisit scars, to heal, and re-heal wounds inflicted yet again. It seems we learn little from the past, but the challenges are deep and need attention over generations. If I can say anything of this experience and the countless others I am witnessing living here is that we must engage as much as possible in the civic and political structure of our cities. As a “creative” I must do more to use visual language to reflect what is, but also impact and support change, to persistently engage with our civic duty and challenges, and hopefully help to reframe and “design” a better ecosystem over time.
If you are ever asked to be on a jury, step up and seize the opportunity. Make something from your experience. Do a drawings. Reflect upon your learnings and come out the other side with some insights to build on. At the very least it will help you empathize with the challenges we face and possibly help find solutions for them. Best of luck! | <urn:uuid:7c3c8e2d-544e-4568-a8f2-3e6e5b65b9dc> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://vondesign.com/jury-drawing | 2023-11-28T09:09:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679099281.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20231128083443-20231128113443-00012.warc.gz | en | 0.980125 | 713 |
You might have guessed that I love shopping for new clothes for Santi – it’s pretty much taken over my obsession with shopping for myself. So the new year sales weren’t something I was going to pass up on!
Instead of doing what I usually do, buying a lot of things just because they’re cheap, I invested in a few items I’ve been looking at for a while but couldn’t really justify without the 50% off. It also cheered me up while working over the new year.
These are the bits I decided to take the plunge and buy…
1. Sleepy houses sweatshirt in faded red, Kid and Kind
This is the first thing I’ve bought from Kid and Kind, but I’ve been popping to the website to browse since I started following them on Instagram. I love the sleepy houses design, but hope the faded red doesn’t turn out to be too pink!
2. Apple sweatshirt in white, Hugo Loves Tiki
This is another one I’ve been after for a while – I’m a sucker for anything in a foreign language! There are a few different designs available, and I really love the pink cherry sweatshirt for girls.
3. Adidas Gazelle 2 in red and blue, Schuh
I always thought people who bought designer shoes for toddlers were a bit mad – surely it’s a waste of money when they grow so quickly? But when they’re in the sale and cheaper than Clarkes shoes what’s the harm! Santi has lived in his Ralph Lauren shoes since we bought them, so if he gets as much wear out of these it’ll be worth it.
4. Fruit sweatshirt, Hugo Loves Tiki
Another one from Hugo Loves Tiki … I featured Santi’s garcon tee from here on What Santi Wore a while back, and I think it’s a really good quality brand. The only problem is there aren’t many UK stockists that I can find online (Cissy Wears is one), so the shipping added a bit to these sale purchases, sadly.
5. Lacoste pumps in burgundy, Schuh
Finally, here’s one more pair of shoes! These seem like quite a sturdy material, so hopefully they’ll last through Santi’s whirlwind marching around. I’m quite into burgundy at the moment as it goes with so many colours. I love that these are really versatile and could be worn with joggers or more formal trousers.
Oh, and just one more … while I was on Kid and Kind I couldn’t resist buying a little something for the new arrival! Get set for some sibling twinning in the summer…
And the best thing about online shopping (apart from beating the crowds)? Getting proper mail that’s not just bank statements! Come on Mr Postman… | <urn:uuid:e98fdd0c-f577-450e-aba0-409037c98e08> | CC-MAIN-2022-27 | http://baby-holiday.co.uk/2016/01/18/what-santi-wore-new-year-sale-haul/ | 2022-07-01T13:51:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-27/segments/1656103941562.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20220701125452-20220701155452-00616.warc.gz | en | 0.956384 | 620 |
The New England Patriots’ shot at history Saturday night will be available for every household in the country with a television after months of wrangling.
The game against the New York Giants, in which the Patriots could become the first NFL team to go 16-0 in the regular season, was originally scheduled to be shown only on the NFL Network, which is available in fewer than 40 percent of the nation’s homes with TVs.
But the league announced Wednesday that the NFL Network feed will be simulcast on NBC and CBS. It’s a major concession by league officials, who repeatedly said they would not show the game anywhere but the NFL Network. The NFL had faced mounting pressure from politicians in recent weeks to make the game available to more viewers.
This will be the first three-network simulcast in NFL history and the first simulcast of any kind of an NFL game since the first Super Bowl in 1967, when CBS and NBC both televised the first meeting of the champions of the newly merged National Football League and American Football League.
So much for CBS’ planned network premiere of the Cloonster’s “Good Night & Good Luck”, not to mention NBC’s showing of an “Law & Order : SVU” repeat with an MMA storyline. Maybe Mushick can write a column about how some of us really don’t give a hoot whether Eli plays one quarter or three on Saturday? Even if LT, Harry Carson and Carl Banks started on Saturday, New England would still run the table.
Still, this provides further ammo for those who’d argue football has long since replaced baseball as American’s national pastime. With the possible exception of the public stoning of Simon Cowell, what other non-news event is of great enough interest to justify a simulcast by two competing networks? | <urn:uuid:cb2e1a9d-8dd9-402c-bd7e-969e09dfc5aa> | CC-MAIN-2016-30 | http://www.cantstopthebleeding.com/goodell-blinks-meaningless-game-to-be-shown-on-cbs-nbc | 2016-07-30T20:42:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-30/segments/1469258943366.87/warc/CC-MAIN-20160723072903-00094-ip-10-185-27-174.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.957406 | 382 |

Do either of your children use pacifiers? My daughter just had her 6 month check up, and I had the same question. Her doctor said that at this age they should be able to go eight hours at night without a feeding. My daughter wakes out of habit because it is the same time every night. It is frustrating, but I have been putting her pacifier in her mouth and letting her cry a little bit so she can get used to putting herself back to sleep without a middle of the night feeding. It is a slow going process and very stressful. Good luck!

my baby just stopped taking his pacifier. he just got his first teeth. i tried just letting him cry last night. he woke up at 3 am. i waited for about 15 min to see if he would fall asleep and when he didn't i went in and just patted him on his back and tried to calm him and then went out of the room. in 15 more min i went back in and did the same thing again and about five min later he fell asleep. thank god and halaluia!!!! for the first time in a week he did not wake up for a second time! i will give you an update on how he does tonight! | <urn:uuid:fa15942c-fe0e-4a60-9ea1-651d7b16b240> | CC-MAIN-2015-18 | http://talk.askbaby.com/viewtopic.php?p=4371 | 2015-04-21T09:56:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-18/segments/1429246641266.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20150417045721-00212-ip-10-235-10-82.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.983939 | 549 |
Lights, Camera, Movie Data!
Recently, as students head back to school, we’ve written quite a bit about Wolfram|Alpha’s mathematics capabilities. But those of you who don’t have quite as much interest in, say, transfinite cardinal arithmetic, can rest assured that we haven’t stopped adding more general pop culture data to the system.
One of our latest features is detailed U.S. box office data, with information on total, weekend, and in many cases even daily receipts for motion pictures. So if you want to see how a recently released film is doing in theaters, just ask about its box office totals. For example, try “eat pray love box office“. Or maybe you’d like to look back and compare some of the summer’s biggest blockbusters. Try “box office for iron man 2, toy story 3, inception” for a quick comparison; to make it even easier to compare several films released on different dates, click the “Show by weeks since release” button to align the movies’ start dates. In this case, it’s easy to see that although Iron Man 2 had the strongest opening of the three, its revenue also fell off more steeply in the following weeks.
You’re not limited to films released this summer, of course—if you’re a fan of director Christopher Nolan’s work, you might like to see how well Inception compares to his previous directorial effort, The Dark Knight. Or maybe you’d like to compare two other cinematic heavy-hitters to see which one held the #1 box office rank longer.
The “Box office performance” pod contains up to 10 additional properties (click “More” to see them all), including statistics like the highest rank and best weekend box office performance attained by each film. Click the “Show history” button in this pod to generate history plots for most of this data.
In addition, whenever sufficient data exists, Wolfram|Alpha can also do some higher-level analysis of long-standing movie franchises. Try “batman movies box office” or “james bond movies box office” to see how these cinematic legends have fared over the years.
As always, we hope you’ll try your hand at building some cool new Wolfram|Alpha widgets with this data. Here’s one to get you started:
Check back early each week to see the latest available stats for movies currently in release, and let us know if you come up with any interesting comparisons or new widgets that utilize this data. So how did your favorite summer movie fare at the box office? | <urn:uuid:95eab933-acfe-417d-ba13-e6105be7ce30> | CC-MAIN-2016-40 | http://blog.wolframalpha.com/2010/09/17/lights-camera-movie-data/ | 2016-09-30T17:08:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-40/segments/1474738662321.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20160924173742-00094-ip-10-143-35-109.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.936674 | 567 |

Any organization, corporate or otherwise, is bound to have a number of hr policies that have to be enforced. These policies are a lot like terms and conditions and are used for the benefit of the company as a whole. More often than not, these policies are directed at the company employees. Now to create a policy, you could make use of these professional templates. These quality policy templates come in a variety of formats and can be customized to go with your organization.

Company Cell Phone Policy Template
Every company has its own cell phone policy to keep an eye on the activities of all the employees. This policy template is an elaborate one and comes with an organized table of content.
Company Car Policy Template
This company car policy template is complete with a heading, the name of your organization and logo, subheadings and so on. That prevents the template from becoming monotonous and keeps it interesting.
Visser Trucking Company Safety Policy Template
For a truck company, there are various things to be taken into account like recruitment and training. All these important areas have been covered in this elaborate and detailed template.
Company Laptop Policy Template
Most companies hand out laptops to their employees to use. To make sure the employees use the laptop for the benefit of the company as a whole, this template lists a set of do’s and dont’s for the employee to keep in mind.
> Why should you go for company policy templates?
A company usually has more than one kind of policy in the workplace. Different policies include cell phone policy, company conveyance policy, sexual harassment policy and so on. Now although each kind of policy, by nature, is quite different, their patterns remain the same. As you can see in these templates, they all contain a standard heading or subject which is usually accompanied with the company logo, an introduction, details about the policy and a proper conclusion.
Basically, these templates make it easier for you to draw up important policies. Any company wishing to enforce policies among its employees would find these templates to be really practical and helpful. You can also see Hr Policy Templates.
> How to write company policy and procedures?
A company policy for employees is not an easy task. There are many things to be taken into account. For example, if you are creating a company car policy, then you’ll have to take into consideration the conveyance of all your employees. As these templates demonstrate, each policy needs to be detailed and comprehensive.
They need to cover base with all the major points of each policy. Moreover, they need to be written in clear and simple language that makes it easy for the readers to follow them. Also, you should avoid confusing or ambiguous statements and instructions when it comes to company policies and procedures. You can see environmental policy templates.
> Do employees have to follow the policies?
The answer is yes. The policies, irrespective of their nature, are directed at all the employees of the company. Usually after the policy has been approved, it is to be printed and circulated amidst the employees. They are expected to go through them thoroughly and follow them diligently. Even though these policies are not legally binding, they are no less significant. Any disregard for the points mentioned in the policy could have adverse repercussions. Consequently, it is advisable to go for these templates which allow you to present your policy in a manner that is easy to understand and follow.

Fred Schebesta is one of Australia’s best-known online marketers and recently launched a new venture, Life Insurance Finder. In this Q&A he shares his tips for success, online and off, and reveals his winning sales and team-building tactics.
Q: What’s the one thing you wish you’d known before you started in business?
A: business isn’t about becoming famous or known for something. It’s about putting dollars in the bank. That brutal reality killed a lot of my childhood ideas about what businesses were all about.
Q: What are your most effective work habits?
A: Persistence - I only back away from something after pushing it to the limit.
Innovation - Coming up with ideas and fresh approaches.
Q: The most important person in my business is ... because ...
A: Everyone is important because they all have crucial responsibilities to compete in our markets.
Q: Best business decision you’ve ever made?
A: Build a scalable and nationally focused business. I stopped trying to sell internet marketing services and instead focused on building an online business and used our internet marketing skills for ourselves. A big change up, but the best decision!
Q: What’s the biggest mistake you ever made in business? How did you fix it?
A: I have made A LOT of big mistakes. Unfortunately I reused a lot of code and product images for two similar clients and one of the clients didn’t like it at all. Fortunately all the code was open source and the images were owned by the product owners, but it cost a lot of money to get that straightened out. Fixed it by hiring great lawyers!
Q: How do you delight customers?
A: Give them what they require and try where possible to anticipate what other small thing else they might want. But normally customers are delighted if you just give them exactly what they ask for and nothing more.
Q: Share your number one sales technique with us.
A: Ask for the sale. End your email or call with a question which ends with a yes or a no. "Did you want me to ship that to your mansion or your holiday house?"
Q: What’s your secret team-building tactic?
A: Showcase - I learnt this from a former manager at our business. Basically everyone presents what wins they have had and talks through the things they have done in the previous months. Sometimes big and small wins don’t get acknowledged and this tries to recognise them.
Q: Favourite piece of business technology? Why?
A: Google Apps. Collaborating on documents as opposed to sending versions of documents back and forth is amazing!
Q: Best tip for managing people?
A: Have regular informal catch ups. A coffee or informal walk helps you understand the person and helps you know where they are at.
Q: Who do you most admire? Why?
A: I met Richard Branson the other month and he was fun to chat with about business especially. But I like Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon. He is launching a space company that is competing with Richard and is the benchmark to me of making a globally recognised .com business! He survived the bubble and won!
Q: What’s more important in business: passion or preparation? Why?
A: Passion. Focusing on execution as opposed to planning seems to win for me. Getting feedback and figuring out how to improve what you have done is paramount to me.
Q: Favorite websites and why they add value to your work?
A: Twitter - believe it or not I really like reading up on what people suggest as great articles and content and seem to get a lot of knowledge from it. (Follow Fred's account here).
Tech Crunch - I find myself going to this site more and more as new startups come out, I like their analysis and the paths which I find myself on after reading their articles.
Q: I drive a ... because ....
A: Chrysler 300C because it looks different in Australia and has enough room for my daughter in the back.
Q: What’s your favourite networking activity? Why?
A: Linkedin - Finding like minded people on linkedin usually leads to Twitter or blogs where you can build a relationship with someone around their ideas and then sometimes meet in person.
Q: How do you relax?
A: Computer games, personal training and hanging out with my wife and daughter at the beach.
Q: Favourite sporting team? Why
A: I’m not really into sporting teams and more watch interesting sports like: NBA, NFL or The state of origin. I like watching all sorts of amazing athletes compete.
Q: If someone gave you $100,000 and said “Invest this in your business by the end of the week – or lose it” what would you do?
A: Ask them what they want for the $100,000 before taking it. I have learnt money never comes without strings.
Q: Generation Y: are they as demanding as everyone says?
A: Yes, Yes and Yes.
Q: The Internet is a massively disruptive force. What’s your reaction to disruption?
A: I LOVE disruption. I live to challenge and disrupt traditional online and offline businesses.
Q: How do you foster and express creativity?
A: Brainstorming, reading, listening to music, going to art shows and theatre and watching movies. I want to expand this some more by actually doing some more art.

Kennesaw Spring 2013 applicants - page 42
It seems way early to be posting this, but the application deadline actually isn't too far away. Is anyone else applying to KSU for spring 2013 admission? I've requested to be considered for the traditional and accelerated... Read More
- 0Oct 11, '12 by triciah2005Jlola, I am. I'm in Chem 1152 right now, with lab and also taking online fitness for living. The only class I will have left after this semester is Econ, I think I will take that in the summer! Is anyone on the board in Gabriel's M/W 3:30 to 4:45 1152? I thought I heard a couple of people in their had interviews...
- 1Oct 11, '12 by wisdomhunterRaquel30, I'm also in Tresham's M/W class. Are you in lab after Monday? I hate that I may actually be seeing some of you and not know who you are because of our names on here
I also have some general ed to finish in the summer and I'm doing my last prereq - A&P II - right now. I just bought my stethoscope. So excited! Oh, and I know we were talking about the CPR course before, and a couple of us are already signed up for the October 29th one at the Marietta campus of Chattahoochee Tech. Anybody want to join? You have to just google it and there's a number to call and sign up.
- 0Oct 11, '12 by racquel30Wisdomhunter, Yes I am in your class and lab! I think we spoke a few weeks ago when we were having interviews. It's just hard to remember who everyone is, especially when we've been talking online. So I would love to join someone for CPR. I'm also in class all day on Monday so the 29th doesn't work for me. Contenta, November 15th actually works perfectly for me so I will probably call soon and sign up. It would be nice to get to know at least a few people before we start!
Andrea0220, I feel the same way. I'm just starting to realize that I've actually been accepted, sometimes it hard to comprehend lol. All I can think about is orientation and when we will actually be starting the program! I'm so excited for this entire process we all have ahead of us and I can't wait to meet everyone!
- 1Oct 11, '12 by uga_belleFor those accepted, I would wait on your CPR until December. You are required to have the healthcare certification ; however, this is good for 2 years and if you take it too early, you will have to take it again in your 5th semester. For accelerated students, it won't affect you since you are allowed to take clinical classes your 1st summer and you will graduate before the deadline.
Hold tight! We will do our best to answer all your questions about what is due.
You will receive paperwork with all the requirements needed before you start. The drug test needs to be done when you start school, not before. You can sign up for the background check, but hold off on the drug test. The FB page we create will be very helpful and the Board will be posting things for you all.
I also recommend going to http://www.ganursingstudents.org/60t...onvention.html
Our 60th Annual GANS Convention will be next week. If anyone of you are available any of the days, I highly recommend attending. It will so give you an edge and get you acclimated in a way. There should be over 600 nursing students attending from around the state. There are breakout sessions that pertain to specific fields of nursing. There is an exhibit hall with with over 30 vendors including hospital recruiters. You can start thinking about those Externships and seeing what you need to do. A lot of this job is networking and being informed so this is a wonderful way to get your foot in the door! Also, you will be able to meet some of the older classmates and you can hang with us and we can start filling those heads with all sorts of things. Are you overwhelmed yet???
If this is something you may be interested in or if you have any questions, please email me at [email protected]
We are so excited for you all!!!
- 0Oct 11, '12 by uga_belleAfter everything settles down, you can ask to meet with Fran and see what you need to work on. Get the A in micro. Also, if your TEAS is below 80, retake it. She will look at your scores and and see where you might need help. It could be something as simple as the interview. You are ranked against everyone else. There isn't exactly a set cut off. It is how you fall on the spectrum against all the other candidates.
Don't be discouraged! Just try again! Believe me! it will happen! | <urn:uuid:24831b8f-ee9b-4bd5-b75a-09738f200663> | CC-MAIN-2014-10 | http://allnurses.com/georgia-nursing/kennesaw-spring-2013-a-699764-page42.html | 2014-03-09T02:00:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-10/segments/1393999670363/warc/CC-MAIN-20140305060750-00068-ip-10-183-142-35.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.973727 | 1,041 |

Statutory Alert: Update – IMO fuel oil consumption data collection system Applicability: Owners and operators of ships that are subject to air emission controls under MARPOL Annex VI
This is an update to Class News 34/2016 issued on 8 November 2016. IMO released the text of resolutions MEPC.278(70) on Amendments to MARPOL Annex VI and MEPC.282(70) on 2016 Guidelines for the development of a Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP) which are attached here for easy reference.
Additionally, this Class News reflects the latest date for the next MEPC session (MEPC 71) as IMO deferred this to July 2017.
Amendments to MARPOL Annex VI requiring mandatory fuel oil consumption data collection and reporting have been adopted. These will enter into force on 1 March 2018, with the first reporting period being for the 2019 calendar year.
IMO has previously agreed to address ship energy efficiency through a three-step approach:
Deciding on what further measures, if any, are required
The recent IMO MEPC 70 meeting worked on the data collection stage and adopted amendments to MARPOL Annex VI, Chapter 4. These mean that:
Ships of 5,000 GT and above will be required to submit to their Administration annual reports on fuel consumption and transport work parameters, via a methodology to be included in the Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP).
Upon verification of the submitted data, the Administrations will issue to the ships a Statement of Compliance related to fuel oil consumption.
Finally, the Administrations will submit aggregate data to the IMO, which will maintain an anonymised IMO Ship Fuel Oil Consumption Database.
Ships will need to use a standardised reporting format, developed by the IMO, to submit data on:
Identity of the ship
- IMO number
Technical characteristics of the ship
- ship type
- gross tonnage (GT)
- net tonnage (NT)
- deadweight tonnage (DWT)
- power output (rated power) of main and auxiliary reciprocating
internal combustion engines over 130 kW (kW)
- Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) (if applicable)
- Ice class (if applicable)
Fuel oil consumption, by fuel oil type, in metric tonnes, and methods used for collecting fuel oil consumption data
Hours under way
For more details on the amendments, please see IMO Resolution MEPC.278(70).
Shipowners and operators will need to start considering the means for collecting the fuel oil consumption data that is most appropriate for each ship and updating the SEEMPs of their ships to reflect this process.
Additional IMO guidance
MEPC 70 adopted resolution MEPC.282(70) on 2016 Guidelines for the development of a Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP), which supersedes the 2012 Guidelines (MEPC.213(63)) and provides guidance on developing a ship-specific methodology for the collection and reporting of the required data.
The IMO is also developing Draft Guidelines for Administration data verification procedures in order to assist Administrations with the verification of the reported data and the issuance of the Statement of Compliance. MEPC 71 (July 2017) is expected to finalise and adopt these guidelines. | <urn:uuid:9e98f834-8868-42b1-93f3-90e9da1de6aa> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://info.lr.org/l/12702/2017-01-24/3gldn6 | 2021-12-03T22:48:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964362919.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20211203212721-20211204002721-00225.warc.gz | en | 0.919275 | 681 |

Otago Volts 277 all out in 49.4 overs (Jesse Ryder 115, Michael Bracewell 67, Kane Williamson 3-40) lost to SKYCITY Northern Knights 282-6 (BJ Watling 83*, Kane Williamson 75, Neil Wagner 3-67) by four wickets at Seddon Park, Hamilton
There was last over drama at Seddon Park as the SKYCITY Northern Knights' BJ Watling and Jono Boult chased down the Otago Volts' score with one ball to spare, after Jesse Ryder had lifted his side with his second century in two games.
Jesse Ryder's second consecutive century was the backbone of the Volts' innings. Trent Boult had bowled superbly at the start to remove Hamish Rutherford for 17 and danger man Ryan ten Doeschate for a duck, before Ryder and Michael Bracewell combined for 96 runs for the fourth wicket. Jimmy Neesham contributed a rapid 26, before Ish Sodhi, Scott Kuggeleijn and Kane Williamson cleaned up the tail. No-one could stop Ryder completing his ton, which took his side to a respectable total from a tentative start.
The Knights' run rate required hovered at just over six as Joe Carter (33) and Kane Williamson accumulated, after Daniel Flynn went for one in the second over. When Carter was stumped by Derek de Boorder from Nick Beard for 33, BJ Watling continued steadily with Williamson, until the latter went for 75 to a spectacular Neesham catch from Nick Beard's bowling. Corey Anderson hit a breezy 34 from 28, before Neil Wagner made him the first of his three quick wickets. The Knights needed 43 from the last five overs with Watling and Jono Boult in the middle facing some tight bowling and fielding, before Boult hit out with a string of boundaries. Six were needed from the last over, but ten Doescate put Boult down from the third to last ball of the innings, and Neesham was unable to prevent Watling hitting the second to last ball for six to take the win in a thriller. | <urn:uuid:763268f2-435f-4f71-b764-708668b58af8> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.blackcaps.co.nz/match-reports/archive/knights-take-last-over-thriller | 2016-10-24T20:09:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988719754.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183839-00489-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.955421 | 437 |

How do we put into action what we are learning from the prophet Isaiah? What do we do when the world seems to be falling in on us? When enemies seem to surround us? What if so much of our problem is even our own fault? What are the plans of God in these moments, and how do we move forward?

Short version: Firefox will pin itself to the Win7 task bar when setting Firefox as the default browser.
A couple of weeks ago I blogged about Firefox pinned taskbar shortcuts on Win7 and this week I landed Bug 621873 [Firefox] – “Pin to taskbar when setting as default browser on Windows 7″ for Firefox (Thunderbird, SeaMonkey, etc. are also able to implement this functionality if they choose to). With Firefox 4 when setting Firefox as the default browser from within Firefox (this won’t work with the Win7 “Set your default programs”) it will also pin itself to the Win7 Task Bar.
Since there are already users of Firefox on Win7 it will also be pinned to the task bar after an application update to Firefox 4 or when performing a pave over install with Firefox 4 if Firefox is already the default browser. This will only happen once per installation to prevent re-pinning Firefox to the Win7 task bar if it is later removed.
I’m not terribly happy about having to implement this since it really should be done automatically for the default browser and mail clients by the Windows shell. As a matter of fact, the default browser and mail clients were added to the top left of the start menu for years in versions of Windows prior to Win7 (iirc Win2K SP3 thru WinVista). It kind of pisses me off that it was considered important enough to have a browser front and center pinned to the task bar on Win7 but it wasn’t considered important enough to do this for the browser that the users of Win7 have explicitly chosen to use. | <urn:uuid:34976ed8-3801-4885-a52c-eb36bed38ebd> | CC-MAIN-2015-11 | https://blog.mozilla.org/rstrong/2011/02/09/firefox-auto-pinned-to-the-win7-task-bar/ | 2015-03-03T04:46:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-11/segments/1424936463108.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20150226074103-00154-ip-10-28-5-156.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.894936 | 354 |

A dice tattoo design might be simple, but it holds a number of meanings, depending on your point of view. With its plain style, you cannot avoid the fact that you might end up with a dice tattoo that is very similar to that of your friends.
Do not let this faux pas happen! Read on to learn more about dice tattoos, and how you can get the best and exceptional design available by floating a contest.
Sign of Luck
The dice is usually seen in casinos; the way they are rolled determines a person’s victory or success. With this connotation, dice tattoos are usually recognized as symbols of luck, especially if the design is that of two dices equating to seven. Dice numbers equal to 11 are thought of as good luck totems as well.
Dice tattoos are also ideal for people who like to take risks. This denotation stems from the popular phrase ‘roll the dice,’ wherein a person is taking a chance and letting fate decide his destiny. If you enjoy taking risks, and not knowing what might be ahead of you, then a dice tattoo design is suitable for you.
Of course, since dices are mainstays in casinos, they are linked to compulsive gamblers. While a gaming addiction is not entirely healthy, it serves as a pastime for most. If you are a self-confessed gambler, then you can show your devotion to your obsession with a dice tattoo.
Get the Perfect Design with a Tattoo Contest
In case you want to have a tattoo, which shows your gambling nature, as well as your desire for luck and taking risks, then it is advisable that you get a dice tattoo. However, because of its popularity, you might end up with a rather boring design. If you want to look unique and not worry about standing next to a person with the same tattoo design, then it is a must for you to float a tattoo contest.
Hosting a tattoo contest is not as hard as it seems, especially if you get an organizer to do it for you. You just need to provide him with your expectations and specifications, so he can include it in your contest rules and guidelines.
Benefits of a Dice Tattoo Design Contest
There are many advantages to hosting a tattoo design contest, rather than just going for a traditional design. Its best benefit is you get to have a style that is one of a kind – that means you do not have to worry about being a doppelganger to a person who had obtained a dice tattoo before you.
You also get to meet and brainstorm with the brilliant tattoo minds around your area, something you would not be able to do if you had not floated a tattoo contest in the first place.
When it comes to tattoo designs, do not settle with plain and boring styles. Get a design, which makes you stand above the rest – float a tattoo contest right now! | <urn:uuid:9d34c608-5d3d-466d-8818-daaa8bf1fc39> | CC-MAIN-2022-21 | https://artsidea.net/tattoos/how-to-get-the-perfect-dice-tattoo-design-float-a-contest.html | 2022-05-24T12:20:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-21/segments/1652662572800.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20220524110236-20220524140236-00769.warc.gz | en | 0.964782 | 602 |
Posted by Jonathan Maus (Publisher/Editor) on February 9th, 2016 at 11:20 am
made a dangerous left turn. She testified about it
in Salem yesterday.
A man’s decision to make a dangerous left turn in front of Alistair Corkett back in May led to a horrific outcome. The 22 year-old’s leg was severed from his body. Barry Allen, the man who was at fault for Corkett’s life-changing injury, was only given a traffic ticket.
If Corkett had died in the collision, the Multnomah County District Attorney’s office would have pursued criminal charges which would not only have provided some level of justice for the community but would have allowed Corkett’s family to seek restitution from the state. However, because Corkett “only” suffered an injury, the DA did not pursue criminal charges.
Back in October at a BikePortland event that was inspired by Corkett’s case, Multnomah County DA Rod Underhill did not mince words when expressing his frustration. “It pissed me off. I’m angry. It just doesn’t seem right. We need to change the law.”
“These incidents where people are not charged with a crime, really impact our reputation as a national leader in cycling. People are less likely to come to our state to ride.”
— Kenji Sugahara, Oregon Bicycle Racing Association
Yesterday in Salem Underhill took the first step toward filling “the negligence gap” by testifying at the first public hearing for Senate Bill 1553, which would add 15 words to Oregon’s current definition of assault in the third degree. If the bill passes a person would be guilty of assault in the third degree if the person, “With criminal negligence causes serious physical injury to another who is a vulnerable user of a public way by means of a motor vehicle.” (Note: SB 1553 mostly deals with an unrelated criminal issue, this section is just one small part of it.)
SB 1553 was heard yesterday and this morning by the Senate Judiciary Committee and it’s supported by that committee’s chair, Senator Floyd Prozanski (D-Eugene). Joining Underhill to testify in favor of the bill was Oregon Bicycle Racing Association Executive Director Kenji Sugahara, Deputy DA Glen Banfield (the lead on the Corkett case), and Corkett’s mom Julia Corkett (whom you might recall was present at the protest on SE Powell following her son’s crash).
The Multnomah County DA’s office says this addition to the law is needed to fill the existing gap between a traffic citation and a felony. The DA wants more options in cases like Corkett’s where the guilty party doesn’t meet the high legal threshold for criminal conduct, but deserves much more than a citation. Underhill, an elected official, is also spearheading this effort because he feels like it’s “inequitable” that Corkett’s family cannot seek constitutionally-guaranteed restitution or “prompt prosecution” simply because they are not considered crime victims by the state of Oregon.
“I understand the motivation to want to nail a person to the wall, but I also have concerns the other way. And maybe it’s because of my phobia of driving in Portland where it seems like there are bicycles coming out of nowhere all the time.”
— Sen. Kim Thatcher (R-Keizer)
In her testimony yesterday, Julia Corkett said her son is lucky because he has community support and medical insurance. “But there are lots of people who don’t have that support. This is a good bill,” she said.
Sugahara, an advocate who represents bicycle tourism and racing in Oregon, said it’s about our state’s standing in the eyes of bicycle riders everywhere. “These incidents where people are not charged with a crime, really impact our reputation as a national leader in cycling. People are less likely to come to our state to ride.”
Underhill appealed to the committee’s sense of right and wrong when he said, “Through no fault of his [Corkett’s] own, his life has been permanently altered.” After they were unable to pursue criminal charges, Underhill testified that the level of furstration in his office, “Was palpable.” “We’ve seen a number of these cases over the years and that frustration has mounted. This was the last straw from my standpoint.” (It’s worth noting that Underhill is a competitive bike racer, as are several other DAs.)
There didn’t appear to be any significant opposition to the proposal from committee members or other interest groups. But during a Q & A session following the testimony Senator Kim Thatcher (R-Keizer) expressed concerns that the new law might be unfair to some road users. In a comment directed to DA Underhill, she said, “I understand the motivation to want to nail a person to the wall, but I also have concerns the other way. And maybe it’s because of my phobia of driving in Portland where it seems like there are bicycles coming out of nowhere all the time.”
Underhill clarified that the law would only when two key conditions are met: the person must display “criminal negligence,” and cause serious physical injury. According to existing Oregon law, criminal negligence “means that a person a person fails to be aware of a substantial and unjustifiable risk that the result will occur or that the circumstance exists. The risk must be of such nature and degree that the failure to be aware of it constitutes a gross deviation from the standard of care that a reasonable person would observe in the situation.” This threshold is below the current standard of “reckless conduct” which means the person is aware of the risk but “consciously disregards” it (or in other words, does it on purpose).
The new law would only be triggered by very serious injuries to people on bicycles, motorized scooters, on foot and so on. “We’re trying to protect the most vulnerable road users,” DA Banfield said during testimony this morning. “Pedestrians and cyclists, we’re not looking to protect motorists.”
Another issue is sentencing. With no political appetite for incarceration this law limits sentences to a maximum of 11 months (thus prison is not an option). While it would be a felony charge, in most cases the DA anticipates it would result in probation and a restitution payment plan overseen by a parole officer.
At a second public hearing held this morning, Senate Judiciary Chair Floyd Prozanski sounded very supportive of it. “It seems to me that it’s a tool that may need to be there as an option.” Prozanski also said he appreciates that the sentencing guidelines are being “surgically applied.”
Underhill estimates the law would only trigger for a total of about 15-16 cases statewide per year.
A work session on this bill (and likely vote) is set for February 10th at 8:00 am in Hearing Room 3.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Another New York City school teacher has been arrested for allegedly inappropriately touching a female student in Brooklyn.
Authorities said Esran Boothe, a 49-year-old health and gym teacher at the Brooklyn Academy of Science and the Environment, has been charged with both forcible touching and sexual abuse following accusations from a 16-year-old girl.
Boothe has worked in the New York City school system for 8 years, 1010 WINS’ Sonia Rincon reported.
1010 WINS’ Sonia Rincon Hears From Some Of Boothe’s Students
A number of his students told Rincon that Boothe is the last person they would imagine to do anything inappropriate.
“He don’t look like the type to do that,”one student said.
“He never said nothing sexual to none of the kids,” another student said.
WCBS 880’s Peter Haskell On The Story
Schools Chancellor Dennis Walcott released a statement saying “Anyone who violates the trust of students and families doesn’t deserve to work in the system and will be removed.”
Meanwhile, startling figures from the city’s Department of Education show that 14 other school employees have been arrested in just three months.
The number of arrests have been staggering for parents, especially considering that only 13 education department staffers were arrested in all of 2011.
But in the past month alone, at least six DOE staffers have been charged with crimes and since the beginning of this year, more than a dozen have been arrested.
“Rage. Rage that our children are exposed, could be exposed to situations like that,” said grandparent Elaine Cohen.
Walcott has previously called the cases “totally unacceptable” and said in the wake of the arrests, he’s reviewed close to 250 educator files.
“I terminated four individuals as a result of this review and I’ll move forward to terminate four more on top of that to make sure that we get them not only out of the classroom, but out of the system all together,” he said.
A school aide at P.S. 87 on the Upper West Side is just one of the latest DOE staffers to be arrested. It turns out he’d been accused of having an inappropriate relationship with a student before, but he’d only gotten a verbal warning.
“I’m glad they got him,” said parent Susan Illman.
The Department of Education is also creating a disciplinary unit to make sure employees get more than just a verbal warning if they deserve it.

The PHYC Social was one of my first Pretoria events that I attended. It took place at Capellos in Brooklyn and it was such a fun event! Much to my surprise, it turned out to be somewhat of a Miss Hellene reunion as many of my fellow contestants and now friends were at the event. I got to spend time with them and catch up with them as we hadn’t seen in other for a couple of months.
The turnout was great and the club was full, which was understandable because the event was marketed and advertised very well and the music on the night was amazing! We organised a big group of friends from Johannesburg to drive to Pretoria together so that we could all stay at a friend’s house. We made the most of the weekend and I really had a good time bonding with everyone. | <urn:uuid:f5238501-79d9-44f8-ad03-5bddbf45ebcf> | CC-MAIN-2018-17 | https://www.misshellene.com/phyc-social-capellos/ | 2018-04-25T10:35:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-17/segments/1524125947795.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20180425100306-20180425120306-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.993497 | 171 |
Google just announced a new feature for Google News for mobile devices such as the iPhone. When pointing your iPhone to news.google.com via Safari, Google News will ask you if it can use your location. If you agree, it will serve you news that happened around you.
I really like the idea of news near me, the problem is I can’t get this thing to work. Yes, my Location Services are turned on, I rebooted, etc, but it just won’t work. Oh well, I guess I will have to remain ignorant of what’s happening around me…
As a side note, it’s interesting to see that on Google’s blog post about News Near You, the only screenshots you can see are from an iPhone. Didn’t the Google peeps get the memo? Or maybe they just prefer the iPhone over any Android phone, which could very well be the case.
How do you like this new feature? | <urn:uuid:08386cf4-e797-4af0-a7c8-cb5267f42009> | CC-MAIN-2019-13 | https://www.idownloadblog.com/2011/05/13/google-news-introduces-news-near-you-for-mobile-devices/ | 2019-03-25T23:51:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-13/segments/1552912204736.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20190325234449-20190326020449-00369.warc.gz | en | 0.953604 | 203 |
I was born shortly before Christmas in 1949 and raised on a farm in Fasterholt in the center of the Jutland moorland between Ikast and Brande, as number four out of five children. Our parents both came from around Ikast.
I worked on a farm until I had to do my military service in Varde in 1970. After that I drove a truck for a number of years - worked on a sawmill - worked on a woodworking factory for about 10 years. I had been out of work for a period of time when, by chance, I ended up in Ikast Commercial School. First as a student and later as a computer instructor.
It was without doubt the most exciting job I have ever had, in a trade that are in constant development.
Later I got a job as a truck driver. A great job that unfortunately did not last due to the financial crisis. Fortunately I had the opportunity to go on early retirement from New Year 2010.
From spring 1999 until spring 2001 I took several different courses, for example in Webdesign / Webgraphic Spreadsheet (advanced use), Database (advanced use) and Programming tools 1, in Visual Basic. It was exciting and educational.
Since then, I have done a bit of programming in Visual Basic and macro programming in MsExcel
My musical tastes include, among other things, Danish, Irish and American folk music. In 1995 I met an American female folk singer named Jennifer Rose. She lives in Berea, Kentucky, and she tours frequently in Denmark, giving concerts in different places - mostly in churches, singing hymns and folk songs (traditionals). With and without music - she plays guitar and a lap-dulcimer, which has a very special sound that goes well with her clear soprano.
She has up to now, released five compact discs. The latest is from 2006 and titled "Songs of My Childhood". You can listen to some of the songs on this link. There will also be links to her other releases.
On this link you can see a few pictures from a Christmas concert in a Danish church in 2002.

You can see some of them on this link.| | <urn:uuid:25fab4fa-1c48-40f6-a63b-bcf9b0b2e3bc> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://johsjakobsen.dk/en/hvem_er_johs_e.htm | 2022-08-10T21:10:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571210.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810191850-20220810221850-00008.warc.gz | en | 0.979714 | 565 |

These lovelies are on their way. I have been waiting for the Black MilkxStar Wars collab ever since the first droid swimsuits were discontinued. I cannot wait for all the leggings and swimsuits coming out with these in the next few months. This is like a dream to me. I went through a huge Star Wars phase when I was younger (original 3, not the new 3). This collab is turning geeky into sexy. I love it.
Also purchased the Edvard Munch dress because well I love art. Art on clothing = beautiful if executed the right way.
Sneak peeks of the rest of the collection pulled from the Black Milk video preview
Yoda & Luke, Chewie & Han, Droids
And this is swimsuit will be mine.

Pittsburgh, PA (PRWEB) January 02, 2014
"Packaged foods, if not resealed properly, tend to get stale or spoil soon after they are opened," said an inventor from Lakewood, Colo. "In order to guard against this, I came up with a better packaging idea."
He developed the STAY FRESH TOP LOCK to ensure that packaging remains airtight after it is resealed. This prevents food from spoiling or getting stale prematurely. It also keeps out bugs. The invention helps food last longer. In addition, it is adaptable for use with any type of packaged food.
The original design was submitted to the Denver office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers. For more information, write Dept. 12-DVR-608, InventHelp, 217 Ninth Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, or call (412) 288-1300 ext. 1368.

Following are the excerpts from Avari and Juane Cole.
Avari Nameh writes "Professor Juan Cole -- whom I contacted, by
the way, regarding the statement on Jenin and the timings of the September 11th
attacks -- wonders why Tom Friedman continues to say things that are just
'wrong' about the Middle East and Islam. "
Professor Cole provides a list of links, for example to Ayatollah Fadlallah of Hezbollah, who had this to say:
He preaches that [the September 11th attacks] were "not compatible with Shariah law," the Koranic legal code, nor with the Islamic concept of jihad, and that the perpetrators were not martyrs as Mr. bin Laden has claimed, but "merely suicides," because they killed innocent civilians... In an interview with a Beirut newspaper, Al Safir, Sheik Fadlallah again accused Mr. bin Laden of having ignored Koranic texts.
Well I must say that Hezbollah itself is controversial for many westreners. However, one may qoute CAIR in good sense.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations: "We, the undersigned Muslims, wish to
state clearly that those who commit acts of terror, murder and cruelty in the
name of Islam are not only destroying innocent lives, but are also betraying the
values of the faith they claim to represent. No injustice done to Muslims can
ever justify the massacre of innocent people, and no act of terror will ever
serve the cause of Islam. We repudiate and dissociate ourselves from any Muslim
group or individual who commits such brutal and un-Islamic acts." | <urn:uuid:e907dbc8-dccc-4bf1-b236-3877e1b2404e> | CC-MAIN-2018-09 | http://emullah.blogspot.com/2005/07/my-mistake.html | 2018-02-22T04:46:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-09/segments/1518891814002.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20180222041853-20180222061853-00243.warc.gz | en | 0.947727 | 339 |
It's often the last room on your redecorating checklist, but these designers prove that you can totally transform this space without dedicating tons of time or cash.
A coat of white paint gave the panels a planked wall look and, when paired with a ruffled comforter and distressed wood, resulted in a modern country design.
It's clear from the colorful floor rug in this room that the homeowner has bold taste, but simply didn't know how to translate that into a full room experience.
Deisgner Kevin O'Gara's plan: Mix mid-century details with color, hence the blue ceiling, graphic drapes and eclectic art. The results are striking, yet not overwhelming when paired with a neutral rug and bedding.
Even though the blogger behind Driven By Decor, Kris Jarrett, invested time into designing her bedroom in the past, she no longer loved the sponge-painted walls.
When Shay Geyer, the owner and designer of IBB Design Fine Furnishings, decided to give her 10-year-old daughter's bedroom an update, she wanted to bring the space up to pre-teen speed.
She decided to stick with the colorful palette, but add in bold black accents and patterns inspired by Kate Spade and Tory Burch — and the results are something we firmly believe both famous brands would swoon over.
While the "before" photos in Erica Chan Coffman's bedroom (the blogger behind HonestlyWTF) showed potential, it definitely didn't reflect her fabulous taste.
Before Sharon Williams, the blogger behind Sharon Joyce Interiors, tackled this room, it was used as a dumping site for furniture from other renovations in her home.
A New Yorker's bedroom was sparse and didn't have a cohesive style. Designer Amanda Nisbet was up to the challenge to transform space in just nine hours. "The room has good bones, but I don't think the space is being used as well as it could be," she says.
Amanda Nisbet took the color off the walls and put it into the accessories. The designer brought in bigger pieces such as a lamp and desk to make the small room seem bigger. "Colors and textures — yellow, enamel white, patinated metal — are repeated, which unifies the space," she says.
Jamie Lott at Southern Revivals' master bedroom was always an afterthought, while other projects in her home took precedence. "For us, our master bedroom has always been last on the list of things to get to and somehow or other it's just never gotten done," she says. "Which is sad, really, because your bedroom should be your oasis."
Jamie installed a faux board and batten wall treatment that cost less than $50 and used paint wisely. "I will never get tired of saying it's amazing what a little paint can do!" she says. "I kept the 'base' of our room (walls, bedding, etc.) neutral then added interest with pops of color, texture, and metal accents."
On Nate Berkus's NBC show, American Dream Builders, designer Elaine Griffin was tasked with redecorating a girls' bedroom that was cute, but lacked personality.
Griffin gave the bedroom a pale yellow and white palette, which is a bit more sophisticated and can grow with the daughters. Dark wood floors replaced the carpet and patterned drapes were added to the "play area" of the room.
A bachelor's Atlanta, Georgia, bedroom looked more like a standard guest room than a gentleman's retreat. "The overall design objective was to create a restful abode with a masculine aesthetic," James Wheeler of J. Wheeler Designs says.
The inspiration for the color scheme was the pool and outdoor spaces just off the bedroom. "We chose a deep blue for the walls to create a modern feel and drew inspiration from the spirit of a gentleman's library," Wheeler says. "We utilized dark woods to create a sense of masculinity.
Designer Cheryl Lynn Doyle of Doyle Interiors was tapped to convert a bedroom with an awkward, tilted ceiling into a peaceful retreat. Plus, non-standard windows and two radiators made it clear Doyle had her work cut out for her.
Doyle created two different zones for the bedroom, with a cocoon-like bed on one side and a small sitting area nearby. She unified the whole space with a Oushak rug and set a serene tone with a mint and aqua color scheme, with white and neutrals mixed in.
Designer Annie Selke's basement left a lot to be desired. The standard basement windows made the space look uninviting, while the bare walls and drab floors created a sterile look.
Selke added larger windows to let in more light and change the whole feeling of the space. Colorful furniture, bedding, accessories and a mural gives the room a whimsical, fun look.
Designers Susan Donelson and Sharon Bubenhofer of Cleveland Hall Design were tapped to convert a spare bedroom in the DC Design House into a room ready for summer house guests. The small space was outdated with older window treatments and plain walls.
"After several years of somber color trends, we wanted to create a space with vibrant patterns and hues," Donelson and Bubenhofer explain. "This delicate floral pattern envelops the room, while a colorful geometric carpet anchors the space." The twin beds create a symmetry in the room, with each guest getting his or her own side table.
In this San Francisco show house, the bedroom's walls were wrapped in a classic Pierre Frey wallpaper (an 18th-century ikat Toile de Nantes print). Designer Shelley Cahan's challenge was to the keep the paper, while creating a cohesive space.
Cahan's plan? Create an upscale bedroom for a young gentleman. "Mature and muted shades of blue and gray are contrasted with youthful pops off persimmon adding a warm, rich appeal to the space," she says.
The homeowner of Florida house struggled with what to do with the big, open bedroom. "I had no idea how to fill my big, empty bedroom, much less give it any sense of style," they admit.
No offense to orange lovers, but this bright shade was the opposite of relaxing in bloggers Ashley and Luke Mayes' guest bedroom. | <urn:uuid:577a3a76-c7b7-4278-8074-4a8df27b1f99> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.housebeautiful.com/design-inspiration/home-makeovers/g2261/best-bedroom-makeovers/ | 2020-07-05T16:18:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655887377.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20200705152852-20200705182852-00231.warc.gz | en | 0.957903 | 1,310 |

There certainly are some beautiful looking iPhone apps out there. Rather than being confined by replicating the standard desktop experience on tiny smartphone screens, creative developers have been using multi-touch, retina-esque displays and gestures to create a wave of innovative and easy to use apps. Some of my recent favourites have been IA Writer, Clear and Solar. Clear in particular has excelled at being a ToDo app I actually use.
But can anyone bring that same precision and clarity to journalling/note taking? I’ve never been able to keep a diary. My mind wanders, I forget or I loose enthusiam. Given that virtually anything can knock me off track, it’s really vital that any note taking apps is easy to use and intuitive.
That’s why I was so keen to get my hands on Day One – a beautiful looking journalling app from Bloom. As a writer/comedian Day One is really handy place to store jokes and ideas – or just key phrases related to jokes and ideas and then come back to them later. Day One uses the “smart” parts of your phone to log the time and place where you add your note and having sense of time and place really helped so I only need a word or two to jog the sense of a whole routine in my head. Day One is an iOS universal app and is also available for the desktop in the Mac App Store for $4.99 (which is a 50% discount at the moment). Having “access everywhere” really helps apps like this gain traction in your daily life.
The iOS app can be configured so it always opens to a blank page – screming “throw a thought in me”. The app is universal and the text looks especially crisp on the new iPad’s Retina Display and runs without the performance hitches that made my other favourite note-taking app Simplenote harder and harder to use over time. The iPad interface is particularly useful when composing slightly longer journal entries. Like all cool writing apps, Markdown support is included, which is incredibly useful if you plan on resusing some of your longer entries again online in a blog or a webpost.
Day One also makes it very easy to add photos, and the visual component goes way beyond eye candy. The photo locations are logged so it’s a good way to track what you’ve been doing and where. I know most teenagers just have a public record of this across social networking platforms but I’m old and paranoid enough to remember a time when privacy was as thing. You can of course share these entries – either copying the text, emailing the entry, tweeting or checking into Foursquare.
The Mac Store app adds an inobtrustive little widget to the menu bar so it’s easy to pop in a thought and then carry about your day. You can also set daily reminders that work really well with Mountain Lion’s Notification Centre. Certain phrases are primed such as “what do you crave right now” and you can pop down whatever comes to mind. This almost works like an indivualised trending topic and is good if you’re ever stuck for inspiration. If you don’t feel like writing at that exact moment you can pop it into the Notification Bar along the side and visit it later – or skip altogether.
Syncing is via Dropbox or iCloud. iCloud synching worked seamlessly. I found Dropbox to be the same but there’s a very angry vocal minority of people on the Mac App Store reviews section who claim otherwise so bear that in mind.
Day One sells for $4.99 in the App Store and if you’re a scatterbrained creative, it’s worth every penny.

Football is America's most popular sport, so you wouldn't think the National Football League would have any trouble getting fans to come to games.
But in an era of giant high-definition televisions and NFL RedZone -- a channel that broadcasts every scoring play of every game -- football zealots are growing weary of shelling out huge sums to watch the game in person. Attendance fell for four straight years from 2008 through 2011. The league was forced to adjust its sell-out rules to avoid having too many blacked-out television broadcasts. (If a game isn't at least 85% sold, local stations aren't allowed to carry it live.)
The NFL has a potential solution. It wants to transform live games into multimedia entertainment extravaganzas that fans watch in two ways at once: on the field and through their mobile devices. The league is experimenting with exclusive camera angles, on-demand video replays, free access to RedZone, and order-from-your-seat snack and beer service -- all controlled through apps on your smartphone or tablet.
Leading the way are the New England Patriots, who deployed the league's first stadium-wide, free Wi-Fi network with streaming video at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Mass.
Fans can tap into cameras that stalk Patriots quarterback Tom Brady or hover directly over the end zone. Next year, the team will give in-stadium fans the ability to listen in to miked-up players (we can't wait for the profane blooper cuts), access the coach-to-quarterback audio (on a 15-second delay, of course) and find the shortest bathroom lines.
"We're not in jeopardy like some others of not filling our stadium, but we're looking at what's coming," said Jonathan Kraft, president of the Patriots and head of the NFL digital media committee, at a conference held at Gillette Stadium this week. "If you don't do this at scale, live venue viewing will really be at risk."
Kraft said he expects all football stadiums to have similar systems in place by 2015.
The situation isn't life-or-death: Attendance was up this year, albeit by less than a percentage point. The league sold out 94% of its games in 2012, and turnout is up dramatically compared to some prior decades, NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy points out. Attendance hovered around 60% during the 1980s.
"We're in great shape, but we want 100%," McCarthy said.
Still, there were still 15 games blacked out in local markets this year. Even the Cincinnati Bengals, who went to the playoffs, didn't sell out a quarter of their games.
Bringing in Wi-Fi and a ton of multimedia bling sounds promising. Here's the catch: Delivering that experience to 70,000 fans packed into a relatively small area is extremely tricky. If you've ever tried texting, calling or -- God help you -- uploading a photo to Facebook ( while you're at a game or concert, you're aware of the problem. )Washington's wireless networks jammed during President Obama's 2009 inauguration, and planners are braced for a repeat of that during his second inauguration on Monday.
Smartphones quickly become dumb phones when tens of thousands of people all try to access the same cell towers simultaneously.
Streaming video to individual devices throughout an entire football stadium requires hundreds of radios strategically placed throughout the arena, perfectly aimed and calibrated so they won't interfere with other equipment. A poorly placed radio could wipe out Wi-Fi for an entire section, as could radios placed close to television broadcast equipment.
The Patriots hired networking solutions provider Enterasys -- a Cisco ( competitor -- to build their network. )
Enterasys essentially treated Gillette as a medium-sized town squashed into a tiny, dense area. It created a mini-Internet service provider (like a Comcast ( or )Time Warner Cable () inside the stadium, including a networking core that connects directly to the Internet. Enterasys custom-designed 300 Wi-Fi access points and snaked thousands of feet of cable throughout the venue. )
It's a multi-million dollar project that many bigger names expressed interest in, but no other competitors were willing to guarantee the results, according to the Patriots' Kraft. The network at Gillette has performed well throughout the season, he said. It peaked at 10,000 people using the Wi-Fi simultaneously during last Sunday's playoff win against the Houston Texans, with no service disruptions.
"The idea that you could deliver streaming rich media over a Wi-Fi network was impossible just two years ago," Kraft said. "Now we've solved that." | <urn:uuid:d18411d6-9314-49e9-b7df-f432478f1fa9> | CC-MAIN-2016-26 | http://money.cnn.com/2013/01/18/technology/mobile/patriots-wifi/index.html?eref=aol | 2016-06-26T17:49:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-26/segments/1466783395546.12/warc/CC-MAIN-20160624154955-00049-ip-10-164-35-72.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.962797 | 958 |
St Kitts/Nevis got the victory over Antigua and Barbuda they had hoped for at Hasely Crawford Stadium, yesterday, by a 2-1 scoreline in the CFU Women’s Caribbean Cup 2014, but it was only consolatory as both teams exited the tournament.
The Kittitians showed great character to come back from an early deficit and sealed it with a Pheonetia Browne goal in the final of four stoppage time minutes after Kerisha Powell levelled in the second half.
Both teams had already lost to hosts Trinidad and Tobago and Martinique, though, who faced off last night to determine the Group B winners and automatic finalists. That rendered the match merely academic.
Antigua and Barbuda had the advantage in the fifth minute when Breanna Humphreys deflected a left side shot into the goal of St Kitts custodian Tynetta McKoy after the initial shot came in from a corner kick.
That left St Kitts to press for the equaliser, and they could have been level inside of 20 minutes. Their first real chance came in the 19th through a corner kick, but Antiguan goalkeeper Nikisha Samuel made a great stop while going the wrong way to neutralise Powell’s header.
While the Kittitians looked more purposeful going forward for the first half hour, their play in the final third let them down. Antigua and Barbuda’s more robust attack, particularly from the left, seemed more likely to trouble the scoresheet.
As the half wore on, Antigua seized control, with the imposing Marley Jarvis muscling her way through to meet a long pass, though her action did not match her intent.
Her delivery in the 35th should have prompted Antigua’s second, but Shery-Ann Bertrand’s hesitation allow the Kittitian defence to recover.
After the break, St Kitts kept searching for the equaliser. But Powell acted goal-shy when she caught her opponents napping at the back just two minutes in. Her strike partner Browne also fluffed her lines from eight metres.
The reward for their persistence finally came in the 70th, as Caroline Springer sent a free kick in from the right, and Powell finally found her radar, heading downward as the ball trickled past the flailing arms of Samuel, who should have stopped it.
They came close again in the 80th through Powell, who just couldn’t find the net from the penalty area, but Browne showed her how to do it, turning in a smart cross from the right by Springer.

A wonderful plant - one the best new things I grow. This bushy species has narrow green foliage and heads of large dark inky purple flowers.
Endangered in the wild but easy in the garden given normal ‘alpine’ conditions. Very special.
1L pots ~ £7
Dracocephalum rupestre and/or grandiflorum
A compact leafy herbaceous perennial producing a mound of rounded green leaves with rich purple ‘Dragon Heads’ on short reddish stems above. For a well drained (but not too dry), sunny (but not too hot) site, if that makes any sense. Basically a large alpine. I've had seed of this as both D.rupestre and grandiflorum and they seem identical. If anyone can let me know how to tell which is which I'd be grateful.

The girls were all warm and cozy enjoying a pj day when Sarah decided she wanted to dress up like a ballerina, so she headed for the box where we keep all of her dress up clothes. Reagan was right there with her looking for an outfit so she could be a ballerina too. Her leotard was a little big(it's Sarah's).... but it worked and as soon as both of our "prima ballerinas" were in costume, they headed straight for their favorite Nutcracker.
He is musical and they have been playing with him from the minute he was pulled out of the box:)
With Christmas just around the corner, the excitement level is at an all time high.
Last year was Reagan's first Christmas, but she was still a little shell shocked and not really sure what was going on. This year she gets it and she gets so very excited over the littlest things. It has been really special to watch the magic of this season unfold through the girls' eyes. I can only imagine what Christmas morning will be like when they come down the steps and see what is under the tree!!
We have lots of activities we want to do before Christmas. We are hoping to see Santa this weekend and also want to attempt making gingerbread houses. Sarah has been begging me to do this, so I think this weekend I will let them decorate until their heart's content.
While they are spreading frosting and placing candies on their GB Houses, I will be addressing Christmas Cards.
I have procrastinated long enough and now I need to get them done.

Four people broke into a woman's house and stole two of her cars in a night-time raid.
Thieves broke into a house in President Place in Harworth on August 12, stole two sets of car keys and drove away with the victim's cars.
The victim, a woman, woke up to the sound of vehicles revving off her drive and discovered that both her cars had gone.
Detective Sergeant Jamie Moore is leading the investigation.
He said: "Police were called at around 4.15am after the victim saw her cars driving off.
"It was reported four people have entered the house and taken two sets of car keys. We believe this happened around 3.30am on President Place in Harworth.
"South Yorkshire Police reported that one of the cars was involved in a possible attempt burglary at around 4.25am in Balby.
"One of the cars was later recovered by officers. However, the other is still outstanding.
"We’d urge people to keep your car keys safe and out of sight at home. Ensure they are not left near unlocked doors or open windows in your home to ensure they are not easily available to opportunist thieves.
"The victim is clearly distressed."
If you saw or heard anything suspicious in the area at that time please call 101, quoting incident number 101 of August 12. | <urn:uuid:d872524c-2e83-40ca-b722-8e8394f05c36> | CC-MAIN-2021-04 | https://www.lincolnshirelive.co.uk/news/local-news/four-people-burst-womans-house-4421968 | 2021-01-25T11:49:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-04/segments/1610703565541.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20210125092143-20210125122143-00159.warc.gz | en | 0.987728 | 279 |
Faces of U of T Medicine: Marisa de Souza
What did you do before coming to U of T Medicine?
I studied Kinesiology at U of T for three years and absolutely loved it! In undergrad, I competed on the Varsity figure skating team and volunteered at Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital in their creative arts respite program. I also volunteered at SickKids in my third year. It was always the highlight of my week to be able to spend time having fun and being creative with children through those programs.
Why did you choose U of T for medical school?
U of T is world-renowned, so it’s hard to say no to an offer of admission! Toronto is one of my favourite places and remaining here meant I could be close to my friends and family as well as the communities and organizations that I was involved in during my undergrad.
I was offered admission to the Mississauga campus and at first, I didn’t know what to expect. Its turned out to be a great fit for me. I love the nature around campus and the convenience of having most of my courses in one building. Most of all, I love the community. MAMers are supportive and friendly people. We study together, work out and hang out together. The admin staff know us by name and I feel like the instructors really care about us.
What made you want to become a doctor?
I come from a family of teachers — 11 of them. I was determined to be a teacher until grade 12, when I realized my passion for helping others could be applied in a way that integrates science and healthcare through medicine. After my experiences volunteering and working in hospitals, I decided this was the path I wanted to take.
Do you know what kind of specialty you’d like to pursue?
I’m interested in pursuing a career in paediatrics! I started medical school with that in mind and purposely sought out opportunities in different specialties during my first year to see if anything would captivate me more. While I’ve enjoyed the other specialties, paediatrics remains my top interest.
What’s been the most rewarding part of medical school so far?
I’ve enjoyed being involved in the Social Pediatrics Research Summer Student (SPReSS) program and volunteering with Make Room to Read. I feel lucky to have met amazing people in my program who I’m grateful to call my friends and future colleagues.
Are you involved in any clubs, organizations or groups at U of T?
I’m a director of the Paediatrics Interest Group. This year, we’ve connected with the Make Room to Read program at the Canadian Centre for Immigrant and Refugee Heath’s Paediatric Outpatient Clinic. It’s been a joy to read with the children and get to know the families. I’m also coordinating the Developmental Disabilities Seminar at MAM next semester — we could be doing a lot more to make our health care system more inclusive and accessible for people with disabilities.
This summer I was part of the SPReSS program at SickKids, which had a huge impact on me and informed how I hope to practice.
I was struck by a conversation I had with a youth in the shelter system when we were trying to make a plan together for healthy eating and physical activity. Lifestyle changes are a challenge when one is dealing with mental illness, poverty and relying on food banks and shelter food. I wish I had easy answers, but I was left with many questions about how I, as a medical student, can use my voice to advocate in support of vulnerable peoples' health on individual and systemic levels. Meeting these young people made the idea of Social Determinants of Health real for me. At times this was overwhelming, but after the program I felt more motivated and better equipped to tackle systemic issues.
Earlier this year, I was also a Faculty of Medicine Orientation Week coordinator. It took eight months to plan seven days of activities for 260 2T1 students, but it was beyond worth it to meet such outstanding people and welcome them to the Faculty. After being a beginner for a year, it felt great to share some of my knowledge and experiences.
What do you like to do outside of school?
After I stopped figure skating competitively, I needed a new sport — so I took up three! I’ve been doing triathlons for a little over a year now and I really enjoy it. I am not particularly good at swimming, so it’s rewarding to make progress. The triathlon community is kind and supportive, so it’s lots of fun!
Faces of U of T Medicine introduces you to some of the interesting people studying in the Faculty of Medicine. From advising political leaders to providing care to Toronto’s most vulnerable populations, our students are making an impact on communities at home and around the world.
