Erin finds true purpose as she courageously steps forward to share what she learns from life and consciousness-altering experiences. A diagnosis of ovarian cancer at thirty-one throws Erin’s body into crisis but it becomes a time of enlightenment for her soul. As she faces The Beast head-on she uses her journals as a form of therapy and through the process of fearless self-disclosure her true purpose begins to awaken from within.
Erin is a storyteller and now has the opportunity to help others and teach about her process through journalling. She shares her experiences, treatments, therapy, research, and especially her inner turmoil, with profound honesty. Alma worked closely with Erin as a wellness practitioner for over 2 years and was asked by Erin to compile this book from her journals and pass on her story. Deep gratitude to you, Erin!
Videos of Erin
The videos about Erin below to see were edited from raw footage Erin’s friend, Karyn McGettigan, created as part of her education in journalism, one year after Erin was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. The footage was given to me along with Erin’s journals as a basis for the book I was to compile and pass on to others. I often used the footage to transcribe Erin’s words and capture their essence in the sharing of her story but as time went on I realized she was the only one that could truly express her meaning. The creation of YouTube possibilities hit me like a lightening bolt one day and I realized how I could now enlighten the world with Erin’s presence.
My friend Ronnie Novak edited 4 hours of raw footage into three 8-minute videos that capitvated the very essence of her sparkling being. When Ronnie was asked for a comment about this work he said, “I truly felt Erin’s presence, or some kind of incredible and beautiful energy while assembling this video with you.”
I hope you all feel that presence as Erin shares her insights.

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for bringing awareness into my life as I read "My Wonderful Nightmare" by Erin and yourself. As a mum of a child who had cancer it helped me to heal what I thought I had no right to even be feeling in the first place. How can I possibly think I have the right to feel grief, fear, sadness when my daughter is going through cancer? As a mum you wish more than anything it was you and not your child that got cancer. Reading the book and watching and listening to Erin on the videos helped me to feel the grief that I have been shoving down for two years. My daughter Hayley was diagnosed with non Hodgkins Lymphoma two years ago. She is thankfully cured and is moving on in her life with a totally different view and direction. She is embracing her joy; and her passions as she discovers them. What your book did for me, with the help of Erin, and reading what she was thinking and experience in with her cancer on a daily basis helped me to understand on a deeper level some of what Hayley had to endure. So thank you and thank you to Erin for making this book possible and yes it is, and does help people have a better understanding of what can unfold when dealing with cancer.

NEW YORK — Carmelo Anthony had 26 points and nine rebounds, and the New York Knicks bounced back from their first loss of the season, beating the Indiana Pacers 88-76 on Sunday.
JR Smith added 13 points and Raymond Felton had 11 for the Knicks in their only home game in a span of seven games.
After falling 105-95 at Memphis on Friday, the Knicks (7-1) go right back on the road to start another three-game trip Tuesday in New Orleans.
In a game that was ugly, neither team shot 40 percent, but the Knicks built a big early lead, went up by as much as 20 and were never challenged.
Paul George scored 20 points for the Pacers, who remained inept offensively as they played without leading scorer Danny Granger.
They hoped they had broken out with an impressive 103-point performance against Dallas on Friday, but managed only 30 first-half points.
David West added 14 points in Indiana’s sixth straight road loss.
Raptors 97, Magic 86
TORONTO — DeMar DeRozan scored 20 points and Amir Johnson had 14 of his 15 points in the fourth quarter to lead Toronto over slumping Orlando.
Andrea Bargnani had 17 points, Linas Kleiza scored 10 of his 12 points in the fourth and Jose Calderon had a season-high 18 assists for the Raptors, who had lost six of their previous seven home meetings with Orlando.
Glen Davis led the Magic with 16 points and 12 rebounds, E’Twuan Moore scored 16 points and Arron Afflalo had 15.
Nikola Vucevic had 12 points and six rebounds, ending his streak of three straight double-doubles.MORE IN Sports Wire

Welcome emails are an important first step in creating a solid relationship between you and your customer. They help new subscribers understand what’s coming next, as well as what benefits they will gain from receiving your emails.
Not only that, but the average open rate of welcome emails is 50%. That’s around 4x more opens than an average email marketing campaign would get. Interestingly, this happens because a welcome email comes just at the right time: when people have just signed up or purchased something, and they’re excited to see what’s ahead of them. We call that a “seducible moment”.
That makes welcome emails some of the most important emails you’ll ever send. With that, I’m going to talk through what makes welcome emails so integral to a customer’s experience – and why they’re so important for success.
What Makes a Great Welcome Email?
It Introduces the Brand
Does the email you’re featuring do a good job of introducing the brand or individual?
It’s okay if this introduction happens in a later email in your sequence. It’s not vitally important for your first-ever welcome message. But it’s always a great idea to let your reader know the brand and the people behind the brand – this way, you can increase connection and trust from the beginning.
Take a look at what Velasca did in their welcome email:
First things first: there’s a witty little pun in there. Because Velasca is a man’s handcrafted shoes company, they couldn’t miss the opportunity to say that it’s “time to take the first step”. This helps show the brand’s personality from the start.
Next, they refer to their subscribers as “family”, giving the brand an approachable identity. It’s almost like they’re saying, “hey, man, we’re here for you.”
Just below a well-deserved link to a coupon, that’s where they briefly (yet powerfully) talk about the brand’s promises and the people behind all of the work they do. Notice how the human pictures and signatures bring an easy feeling. Those guys look friendly, and you know you can count on them.
It Helps Subscribers Set Expectations
A great welcome email should clearly set out the expectations the new subscriber should have, whilst setting the scene for what’s to come. Another good tip is to let your subscribers know when they should expect another email from your brand.
Here’s the perfect example:
After sweet and warm greetings, this email gets straight to the point: “I promise you not to spam you with a million emails you don’t want to read.”
Right after that, there are details about sending dates: “Expect 1-2 VIP updates per month.” That’s great – you won’t be spammed and you know what to expect.
Here’s the cherry on top: subscribers know exactly what each new email will bring. With a hint of curiosity, of course. Plus, the copy on this email makes readers feel like they’re in for a treat, with language such as “get exclusive access to secret products” and “never miss a soap release”.
It Makes a Great First Impression
Does your welcome email make a great first impression? Does it make the brand memorable? What about this welcome email is instantly engaging for the subscriber?
There are multiple ways you can make an email memorable. You can write catchy copy. You can add GIFs. In the case of the following example, they did both.
The above is an onboarding email from Just Eat. As you can see, it stands out from all of the other emails I’ve presented here because it features a fun GIF at the top. The engaging headline also does a fine job of stealing a smirk – it ditches your typical “Welcome, (Name)!” headline and takes it straight to the tummy.
It Delivers Value
Does your welcome email deliver instant value to the person reading it? What value is that?
Remind yourself that this is the first email someone’s getting from you. Delivering value from the get-go will give your subscribers a reason to keep reading your welcome email, but it will also encourage them to look forward to upcoming ones. You should use this opportunity to give them a few ideas about the amazing things they can use your product for.
The above onboarding email from YouTube is a gem. Users who are just getting started may find it hard to know where to begin, especially when new features come around. An email like the above clears up a number of doubts, whilst sprinkling a few creative ideas in the mix.
It Reinforces Your Brand’s Benefits
A welcome email is the perfect chance to reinforce the benefits of a product or service you’re offering. Ideally, this type of email should address the problems or pain points you know your customer is experiencing.
As an example, have a look at what HelpScout did for their welcome email:
Help Scout is a provider of help desk software. Judging from that, it would be fair to say that Help Scout’s marketing team has done enough research to discover what their competition lacks.
Pretty much on any software, users may feel like effective onboarding and hand-holding leaves much to be desired. That’s why they’ve knocked it out of the park with this email – they’ve grabbed a recurring complaint and immediately appeased it.
They did it in three different ways: by adding the phrase “we’re here to help!”, followed by their support email address. And, of course, the friendly faces of the support team let subscribers know real people are there to help them.
Are Your Welcome Emails Anything Like the Above?
If not, you might want to consider tweaking them or recreating them altogether. These are some of the most important emails you’ll ever send!
Think about it: someone took time out of their hectic lives to add another email address to their saturated inboxes. If they did that, they’re likely convinced your brand will provide them with the value they’re looking for. Don’t disappoint them – use your welcome emails to show everything your customers need to see in order to say “Yep, this one’s different.” | <urn:uuid:8922866f-0ceb-4a48-8c0f-afc0f7bf9e55> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://sixfive.com.au/2022/01/welcome-emails/ | 2023-12-11T15:57:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679515260.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20231211143258-20231211173258-00508.warc.gz | en | 0.935316 | 1,384 |

A Short History of the World
> 6. The Age of Reptiles
A Short History of the World.
The Age of Reptiles
life of the Carboniferous period was succeeded by a vast cycle of dry and bitter ages. They are represented in the Record of the Rocks by thick deposits of sandstones and the like, in which fossils are comparatively few. The temperature of the world fluctuated widely, and there were long periods of glacial cold. Over great areas the former profusion of swamp vegetation ceased, and, overlaid by these newer deposits, it began that process of compression and mineralization that gave the world most of the coal deposits of to-day.
But it is during periods of change that life undergoes its most rapid modifications, and under hardship that it learns its hardest lessons. As conditions revert towards warmth and moisture again we find a new series of animal and plant forms established. We find in the record the remains of vertebrated animals that laid eggs which, instead of hatching out tadpoles which needed to live for a time in water, carried on their development before hatching to a stage so nearly like the adult form that the young could live in air from the first moment of independent existence. Gills had been cut out altogether, and the gill slits only appeared as an embryonic phase.
These new creatures without a tadpole stage were the Reptiles. Concurrently there had been a development of seed-bearing trees, which could spread their seed, independently of swamp or lakes. There were now palmlike cycads and many tropical conifers, though as yet there were no flowering plants and no grasses. There was a great number of ferns. And there was now also an increased variety of insects. There were beetles, though bees and butterflies had yet to come. But all the fundamental forms of a new real land fauna and flora had been laid down during these vast ages of severity. This new land life needed only the opportunity of favourable conditions to flourish and prevail.
Age by age and with abundant fluctuations that mitigation came. The still incalculable movements of the earths crust, the changes in its orbit, the increase and diminution of the mutual inclination of orbit and pole, worked together to produce a great spell of widely diffused warm conditions. The period lasted altogether, it is now supposed, upwards of two hundred million years. It is called the Mesozoic period, to distinguish it from the altogether vaster Palæozoic and Azoic periods (together fourteen hundred millions) that preceded it, and from the Cainozoic or new life period that intervened between its close and the present time, and it is also called the Age of Reptiles because of the astonishing predominance and variety of this form of life. It came to an end some eighty million years ago.
In the world to-day the genera of Reptiles are comparatively few and their distribution is very limited. They are more various, it is true, than are the few surviving members of the order of the amphibia which once in the Carboniferous period ruled the world. We still have the snakes, the turtles and tortoises (the Chelonia), the alligators and crocodiles, and the lizards. Without exception they are creatures requiring warmth all the year round; they cannot stand exposure to cold, and it is probable that all the reptilian beings of the Mesozoic suffered under the same limitation. It was a hothouse fauna, living amidst a hothouse flora. It endured no frosts. But the world had at least attained a real dry land fauna and flora as distinguished from the mud and swamp fauna and flora of the previous heyday of life upon earth.
All the sorts of reptile we know now were much more abundantly represented then, great turtles and tortoises, big crocodiles and many lizards and snakes, but in addition there was a number of series of wonderful creatures that have now vanished altogether from the earth. There was a vast variety of beings called the Dinosaurs. Vegetation was now spreading over the lower levels of the world, reeds, brakes of fern and the like; and browsing upon this abundance came a multitude of herbivorous reptiles, which increased in size as the Mesozoic period rose to its climax. Some of these beasts exceeded in size any other land animals that have ever lived; they were as large as whales. The
for example measured eighty-four feet from snout to tail; the Gigantosaurus was even greater; it measured a hundred feet. Living upon these monsters was a swarm of carnivorous Dinosaurs of a corresponding size. One of these, the Tyrannosaurus, is figured and described in many books as the last word in reptilian frightfulness.
While these great creatures pastured and pursued amidst the fronds and evergreens of the Mesozoic jungles, another now vanished tribe of reptiles, with a bat-like development of the fore limbs, pursued insects and one another, first leapt and parachuted and presently flew amidst the fronds and branches of the forest trees. These were the Pterodactyls. These were the first flying creatures with backbones; they mark a new achievement in the growing powers of vertebrated life.
Moreover some of the reptiles were returning to the sea waters. Three groups of big swimming beings had invaded the sea from which their ancestors had come: the Mososaurs, the Plesiosaurs, and Ichthyosaurs. Some of these again approached the proportions of our present whales. The Ichthyosaurs seem to have been quite seagoing creatures, but the Plesiosaurs were a type of animal that has no cognate form to-day. The body was stout and big with paddles, adapted either for swimming or crawling through marshes, or along the bottom of shallow waters. The comparatively small head was poised on a vast snake of neck, altogether outdoing the neck of the swan. Either the Plesiosaur swam and searched for food under the water and fed as the swan will do, or it lurked under water and snatched at passing fish or beast.
Such was the predominant land life throughout the Mesozoic age. It was by our human standards an advance upon anything that had preceded it. It had produced land animals greater in size, range, power and activity, more vital as people say, than anything the world had seen before. In the seas there had been no such advance but a great proliferation of new forms of life. An enormous variety of squid-like creatures with chambered shells, for the most part coiled, had appeared in the shallow seas, the Ammonites. They had had predecessors in the Palæozoic seas, but now was their age of glory. To-day they have left no survivors at all; their nearest relation is the pearly Nautilus, an inhabitant of tropical waters. And a new and more prolific type of fish with lighter, finer scales than the plate-like and tooth-like coverings that had hitherto prevailed, became and has since remained predominant in the seas and rivers. | <urn:uuid:3a761933-14fe-4fc7-bd9a-9aaa760ccfbc> | CC-MAIN-2016-30 | http://www.bartleby.com/86/6.html | 2016-07-24T08:57:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-30/segments/1469257823989.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20160723071023-00242-ip-10-185-27-174.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.964021 | 1,509 |
Select the right size rechargeable ebike battery / motorcycle battery / electric bicycle battery.
Ebike battery / motorcycle battery / electric bicycle battery pack size is based on voltage and amp-hours. The higher the voltage and the higher the amp hours of your battery, the more range your battery will give you. A 48V 10-Ah pack gives you 480 watt hour (48 X 10). This gives you an easy way to determine exactly how much battery you are buying. The wattage of a battery is the only accurate determinant to judge what range your finished electric bike will have. | <urn:uuid:d0ade3f8-fbfc-4f16-a064-2ea740cd746c> | CC-MAIN-2019-09 | http://coremax-tech.com/services/select-right-rechargeable-lithium-ebike-battery-motorcycle-battery-electric-bicycle-battery/ | 2019-02-22T21:37:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-09/segments/1550247526282.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20190222200334-20190222222334-00310.warc.gz | en | 0.941195 | 118 |
Property ManagementThe Best Real Estate Investing Tips for Cutting Down on Your Expenses by Sylvia Shalhout December 15, 2017February 10, 2019 by Sylvia Shalhout December 15, 2017February 10, 2019When you get into real estate investing, your goal is to make money from your investment and maximize your cash flow. The route most real estate investors take is to look for real estate investing tips on how to boost rental income. While a strong income strategy is important to maintain positive cash flow, it’s not the only way.You need to be paying close attention to your expenses too. Naturally, there will be many expenses that you can’t avoid, but you may be able to identify some that can be significantly reduced. Below is a list of real estate investing tips that you can follow to reduce expenses on your investment property and maximize your cash flow.Reducing Your TaxesAs a real estate investor, one of the best real estate investing tips you can follow is to reduce expenses through your taxes. With an investment property, you qualify for many tax deductions. In order to get the most out of these real estate investing tips, consult a good accountant with knowledge of real estate investments.DepreciationAn investment property qualifies for the depreciation deduction, which takes into consideration the fact that the real estate property will be used over time, experience wear and tear, and maybe even become less useful. Depreciation of residential real estate properties, as well as any structural improvements, can be claimed for 27.5 years.Avoid Capital GainsWhen a real estate investor sells an investment property, the gain from the deal must be claimed on their taxes. However, there are a few ways in which you can avoid these taxes such as the 1031 exchange. While there are many stipulations that your situation has to meet in order to qualify, the 1031 exchange basically refers to selling one investment property and using the gains to purchase another property/properties of the same or greater value. One of the conditions is that the exchange has to occur in a specific period of time.Other Tax DeductionsWhile many of the following tax deductions are subject to limitations, they are worth looking into to see if your investment property qualifies. Keep in mind that depending on your rental strategy (Airbnb rental or Traditional rentals), you may be able to benefit from different tax deductions.Interest: Most likely, you’re financing your investment property with some kind of loan. The interest you pay on the loan every year is a write-off.Repairs: Costs that go into repairs for the investment property are a tax write-off.Local and Long-Distance Travel: Both are considered business expenses. Keep records of your mileage and any receipts from renting vehicles.Home Office: As long as your home office meets the qualifications (having a door, used only as an office, etc.), it can be claimed as a business expense.Employees: Because you are taking part in creating jobs by starting investment projects, anyone you hire like contractors or staff is considered a write-off.Insurance: Insurance costs can be written-off as a business expense.Professional or Legal Services: If you’re using a professional property management company or consulting real estate lawyers and other professionals for guidance, the fees you pay count as business expenses.Smart FinancingMost real estate investing tips about financing should be considered when you are first applying for loans for your investment property. A comparison of monthly payments for different mortgage periods to see the difference in interest rates is a start to find reduced interest rates. If you already have a loan, try getting it reviewed by talking to a licensed mortgage broker. He/she may be able to help restructure your loans and find you a better payment plan and rate. Look at all of your options to avoid paying thousands of extra dollars.Related: Financing a Rental Property: What’s the Best Way? Inspecting the Potential Investment Property WellOne of the major real estate investing tips you should follow is to know what kind of property you are investing in. This means having a deeper understanding of the condition of the investment property. Is it going to require major renovations and remodeling to bring it up to code? An investment property analysis, starting with the figures that Mashvisor can provide you with such as price and rental income, will help you determine if the rental property will still be worth the investment or if repairs will eat into your budget.You should also try to get the information on materials that have been used to construct the property. While a repair may seem simple at first based on your experience or research, the cost of unique construction materials may raise your expenses significantly.Related: 6 Rental Renovation Tips to Know Before Spending Any MoneyFrequent Maintenance Checks and UpkeepSome repairs occur because of simple wear and tear of a rental property. You can’t avoid them but what you can avoid is small repairs turning into huge renovation projects. If caught and fixed early, problems like leaky roofs, faucets, or toilets won’t turn into badly damaged floors and ceilings.You can save money by doing these repairs yourself. If you can’t keep up with these maintenance checks, hire a handyman. You might assume this to be counterintuitive to real estate investing tips to reduce expenses, as it will cost you money. In the long run, however, a handyman making small repairs will save you money on huge repairs later. Shop around for a handyman with a rate that suits your expenses.Knowing Your Potential TenantsScreening tenants is one of the real estate investing tips that will cut down on future expenses. A good tenant will save you from having to pay for damage to the rental property and repairs. You can’t always predict whether or not a tenant is going to take care of the rental property, but there are things you can do to try and find someone who will:Background Checks: You should perform background checks on your long-term tenants for traditional rentals to make sure they have no criminal history. Any other minor problems you see will help you determine if they will only raise your expenses in the future.Eviction Histories: Take a look at eviction histories. While some may be exceptions, most will point to the fact that you don’t want this kind of costly tenant.Proof of Income: Expenses occur when a tenant is behind on the rent, and you’re still forced to pay your regular payments and fees. Make sure your potential tenants have a steady income to ensure such expenses don’t come up.Airbnb Rentals: With this rental strategy, you can always use reviews to screen tenants.If all else fails, you could always put strict repair clauses in the rental agreement. This will make the tenant financially liable for any damage and repair costs. You’ll want to be careful when implementing these as you don’t want to chase away potentially good tenants. Look at what other landlords in the area or at your REIC are using as clauses to determine the best course of action.Related: How to Deal with Bad Income Property Tenants Minimizing Turnover ExpensesWhen you have a traditional rental, you’re aiming at long-term tenants. A downside is that you can’t always control the factors that lead to turnover and the expenses that come along with it. Aiming for great property management is one of the real estate investing tips that you can do to minimize turnover. As mentioned before, keeping up with maintenance is a great way to ensure happy tenants. Listening to any complaints and getting regular feedback will help you tackle any major issues tenants are having to ensure you avoid vacancy and boost rental income.Reviewing the Finances of the Investment PropertyOn a final note, you should always keep a close eye on all of your investment property finances. Just because you’re not losing money and having a positive cash flow property doesn’t mean you couldn’t be making more. Always review your expenses and use this guide of real estate investing tips to see if there are ways to cut down your expenses.Meanwhile, keep reading on Mashvisor for the best real estate investing tips related to all aspects of buying, owning, managing, and renting out an investment property.

The secret’s out: closets are in and the bigger the better
Elaborate, spacious areas to display wardrobes and accessories have become the most sought-after features in new homes
At a home currently under construction in the hills above the famous Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, designer Kirk Nix is overseeing his workmen as they hollow out room for a closet that will accommodate the owner’s 1,000-plus Chanel bags. In a special alcove that can only be accessed with her fingerprint, she will store her prized crocodile Birkin bags.
In Oklahoma, Nix is building a 3,200 square foot closet for a male client that is twice the size of that of the woman of the house – and will provide enough room to house a collection of 5,000 ties.
Closer to home, at a house in Guangzhou, Hong Kong designer Clifton Leung furnished a 1,000 sq ft closet to resemble the clothing store of the home’s owner.
Elaborate, spacious closets have become among the most sought-after features in new homes, with existing properties being revamped to accommodate larger spaces for storing clothes. In fact, some architects say that they have been asked to scale down the size of a master bedroom in order to increase the allotment for closet space.
And it is not necessarily just because people have more dresses, shoes and suits to store. Closets are also being adapted to become lounge spaces of sorts, featuring comfy seating, espresso machines and small refrigerators holding bottles of Chardonnay.
Such amenities are a true luxury in Hong Kong, where space is at a premium. But, designers say, that does not stop homeowners from trying.
“It’s a woman’s dream to have a large space with a sofa, coffee machine and fridge where she can meditate on her shopping list,” said Jason Yung, co-owner of Jason Caroline Design in Hong Kong.
But given that size is an issue, Yung says he works with clients to make the most of what they have by creating that sense of luxury from details – not square footage.
“A closet is something that you will touch, so different textures and colours from outside to inside are very important. And how you experience the searching process (for clothing) is exceptionally important as well.”
When working with clients, Yung looks at factors like how easily the closet is entered – the size of the door, the shape of the handle – or how it lights up, and the temperature of the light source. The background colour against the clothes makes a difference, as does the layout of drawers and hanging systems for the clothes. In his company’s repertoire are secret compartments for pricey accessories, like those Birkin bags.
“Sometimes, when I see what clients are asking for, and paying for, it blows my mind,” said Lisa Adams, chief executive and designer of LA Closet Design in Los Angeles. In the sprawling estate-style homes she has worked on around Los Angeles, she has installed in closets such delights as seating areas, flat screen televisions, a breakfast bar.
“It’s one of the things people don’t necessarily do for resale,” she said. “It adds emotional value.”
Outside the premium closets, however, she has worked on much smaller projects where a space can be made more attractive with just a few tweaks.
“Good lighting, teak cabinets, change out the knobs – it can still feel luxurious,” she said. “It’s just a matter of scaling things down.”
Leung, founder of Clifton Leung Design Workshop, is all too familiar with that principle, often forced to work with compact spaces owned by people with lots of clothes. But still, he draws the line at having clients use up more of a bedroom to expand a closet.
“I won’t sacrifice room space,” he said. “There are other ways to squeeze in more room for a closet. Maybe combining closets together to make one larger one.”
For a project in Guangzhou, Leung did not have to grapple with those challenges of space. The house was 10,000 sq ft, owned by a couple with a fashion business in Hong Kong and the mainland. The 1,000 sq ft closet incorporates some of the cabinets used in his clients’ stores.
“The whole house is like a gallery, very minimalistic,” said Leung. “We extended that to the closet.” He installed oak flooring, ceiling-high mirrors, simple racks against a wall to easily display the clothes. White chairs – one for the woman’s make-up table, another for the man’s space – were imported from Italy.
“I think no matter what the size of the house, everyone would like a walk-in closet,” said Leung. “Now, when I work with people who are buying a house, I tend to tell them to tear down the closet and redo it.” | <urn:uuid:ae1140ec-8d63-4ce8-8f81-4a607b3dd2c9> | CC-MAIN-2018-39 | https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/interiors-living/article/1967444/secrets-out-closets-are-and-bigger-better | 2018-09-21T16:31:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-39/segments/1537267157216.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20180921151328-20180921171728-00158.warc.gz | en | 0.959276 | 1,084 |

BUT The autoloader is case sensitive, because your file system is case sensitive and it cannot guess the correct case.

(The following statement was released by the rating agency)
Oct 01 -
-- We expect Vietnam-based property developer HAGL to service about US$3.7 million in interest payments due November 2012.
-- We are affirming the 'B-' long-term corporate credit rating on HAGL and the 'B-' issue rating on the company's senior unsecured notes due 2016. We are also affirming the 'axB-' long-term ASEAN regional scale rating on the company.
-- Our negative outlook on the affirmed rating on HAGL factored in the company's weak liquidity and limited visibility on improving cash flow generation from its real estate sales, iron ore sales, and rubber plantation projects in the next six to 12 months.
-- We are withdrawing all ratings at the company's request.
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said today that it affirmed its 'B-' long-term corporate credit rating on Vietnam-based property developer Hoang Anh Gia Lai Joint Stock Co. (HAGL) with a negative outlook. At the same time, we affirmed the 'B-' issue rating on the company's senior unsecured notes due 2016. We then withdrew the rating at HAGL's request.
"At the time of the withdrawal, the rating on HAGL reflected our view of the company's weak liquidity, high risks associated with the execution of its aggressive expansion plans, its volatile cash flow, and weak liquidity. HAGL's favorable cost structure for property development and established brand name in Vietnam tempered these weaknesses," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Wee Khim Loy.
HAGL's business risk profile prior to the rating withdrawal was "vulnerable" and its financial risk profile was "highly leveraged," as our criteria define the terms.
In our view, the challenging business conditions in the next six to 12 months will continue to undermine HAGL's performance and add pressure to cash flows. In the first half of 2012, HAGL's operating profit fell sharply to Vietnamese dong (VND) 258.3 billion, compared with VND1,706 billion in full-year 2011. We expect HAGL's property sales to stay depressed for the rest of 2012 because of volatility in the Vietnamese dong, relatively high interest rates, and property buyers' cautiousness toward real estate purchases.
Sales of electricity from hydropower projects will only modestly offset the sharp decline in property sales for the rest of 2012, in our view. Revenue from apartment sales dropped to VND598 billion in the first half of 2012, compared with VND1,766 billion for 2011. We also do not expect the company's iron ore mines to generate meaningful cash flows in the next six months.
We estimate HAGL's capital expenditure for 2012 at about VND4.6 trillion. The company incurred about VND3.6 trillion of this expenditure in the first half of 2012. We assume that the rest of the spending on hydropower stations, mining, and rubber plantations is discretionary and can be deferred if HAGL's liquidity remains weak.
We assessed HAGL's liquidity prior to the rating withdrawal as "weak," as defined in our criteria. We estimated that the company's cash sources in 2012 would be less than 1x of its uses due to its aggressive capital expenditure on rubber plantations, hydropower stations, and iron ore projects. Our assumptions were as follows:
Sources of liquidity include: -- A cash balance of VND2.6 trillion as of June 30, 2012; -- VND850 billion in bonds issued in August 2012; and -- The divestment of stakes in a hydropower subsidiary for VND313 billion. Uses of liquidity include -- Repurchase of US$15 million bonds in July 2012; and
-- Committed capital expenditure of about VND1 trillion, predominantly allocated to non-real estate businesses.
Our liquidity assessment also factored in HAGL receiving continuous support from banks to roll over short-term debts and the company's good access to the local capital markets. We assumed that more than 80% of the short-term debts were related to hydropower, mining, and rubber plantation projects, which are sectors that the government encourages, unlike real estate. We have not factored in the launch of two projects, Thanh Binh and Phu Hoang Anh, in the last quarter of 2012 in our liquidity assessment.
"The negative outlook on HAGL prior to the withdrawal reflected our view that the company's liquidity could remain weak over the next 12 months," said Ms. Loy.
Our view was based on our expectation that HAGL's apartment sales would remain depressed in the next six to 12 months. Moreover, the company's committed capital expenditure is large. The improvement in its liquidity would likely rely on certain sources of funds, such as asset sales.
At the time of the withdrawal, the upside potential to the rating was limited in the next 12 months, given the risks highlighted above.

JANUARY ASK-A-KING WITH JASON LaBARBERA
A third round draft choice of the New York Rangers in 1998, Jason LaBarbera took the long road to get to the NHL. The British Columbia-native played in just five NHL games in his first eight professional seasons before joining the Kings. However, heading into this season, LaBarbera had certainly caught the attention of the league's top GM's. In 2003-04, the 6-foot-3, 230-pound goalie won the AHL's Most Valuable Player Award, the Baz Bastian Award for Top Goaltender and a spot on the AHL All-Star roster. A year later, LaBarbera earned his second All-Star invitation and solidified his status as one of the league's hottest prospects.
Since joining the Kings organization prior to this season, LaBarbera has established himself as a gifted netminder with the ability keep his team in most games. LaBarbera, who turns 26-years old on Sunday, started the season by winning seven of the first eight games he appeared in, only allowing more than two goals in a game once. And while his playing time may have diminished recently, his passion for the game remains intact.
Have a question for the Kings star? Now is your chance to get it answered. E-mail LaBarbera at firstname.lastname@example.org. The young goaltender will answer your questions and lakings.com will post the answers next week. | <urn:uuid:63617823-360e-4459-9bfe-b32752563509> | CC-MAIN-2015-35 | http://kings.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=457064 | 2015-08-31T02:34:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-35/segments/1440644065488.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20150827025425-00170-ip-10-171-96-226.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.974106 | 314 |

Cheeky Scots cop reprimanded by bosses for calling ‘mortal’ drink-drive suspect an ‘ar******’ and ‘git’ in online rant
PC Atholl Spalding moaned the arrest came the same night he met famed astronaut Tim Peake at an event
A COP was ticked off by his bosses for an online rant branding a drink-drive suspect an “ar******”.
Atholl Spalding moaned the arrest came the same night he met spaceman Tim Peake at an event.
The community PC tweeted: “Only in this job can you go from meeting a famous astronaut to two hours later meeting a famous ar****** that was mortal and driving disqualified in a stolen car. Some job.”
The message was deleted and the officer was ticked off after a member of the public complained.
But last night PC Spalding’s page still told how he helped catch the man — who he called a “git”.
He said: “Pulled a suspected drink driver on A9, he stopped but ran from car across both carriageways into muddiest field in the country (trust me).”
Twitter user Nikki Sigden claimed she filed the complaint.

BELLEVILLE — Ahmed Mahdi was winded when he came off the field in the second half of Thursday’s Region 24 soccer game at Southwestern Illinois College.
And with good reason, he’d just scored back-to-back goals in less than a minute to put Lewis and Clark Community College’s 6-0 victory on ice.
“You were tired, so you just scored another goal so I’d take you out,” a grinning L&C coach Ryan Hodge said to Mahdi.
All Mahdi could do was nod his head and take a seat and a drink after finishing with three goals.
Mahdi’s goals capped a day that saw the L&C men and the nationally ranked women’s team romp past their old rivals. The Trailblazers women won 5-0 earlier.
“We moved the ball really well,” Hodge said. “And we got off to a nice start. (SWIC) started playing much better, but we withstood it and then really finished strong.”
The Trailblazers men ran their record to 4-1 overall and 1-0 inside Region 24. SWIC is 0-5 and is still in search of its first goal of the season.
“The records don’t usually matter when these two teams play,” said Hodge, who has played as well a coached in SWIC-L&C games. “(SWIC) might be a little down, but they have talent and they’re well-coached, so we have to play with that in mind.”
The Trailblazers, who came in 21st in this week’s NJCAA national rankings, led 2-0 at halftime. Luke Mellon started the scoring in the second minute unassisted. Four minutes later, it was 2-0 after Reshaun Walkes poked the ball over the goal line when SWIC goalie Gabriel Pocas bobbled the ball.
“Reshaun is really playing well,” Hodge said. “He’s confident and he reads the game very well.”
Following the second LC goal, it was SWIC that dominated much of the possession time the rest of the half. But the Trailblazers defense held.
Halftime, as well as Mahdi’s first goal, put the skids on the Blue Storm momentum early in the second half.
Ahmed took a through pass from Osvaldo Guerrero inside the top of the penalty area, beat a defender and tapped the ball over the goal line in the 5th minute.
Zane Rowles scored on another through ball, this one from Camarri Johnson, in the 68th minute.
Then came Mahdi’s back-to-back goals to ice it. He scored in the 71st minute from an assist by Johnson. Then a minute later, he scored unassisted.

Additionally, three Florida students received honors in the individual essay competition. Abril Macho received second place in the category for “Most Philosophical Sixth Grader in America,” David Cuitiva and Antonis Constant received third and fourth places respectively in “Most Philosophical Eighth Grader in America.”
The Kid’s Philosophy Slam is a national competition in which students answer a philosophical question. This year, more than 4,000 contestants, kindergarten through high school, addressed the question “Which is more powerful, love or hate?”
Depending on their age, kids can express themselves in words, artwork, poetry or song. Each grade level has its own national winner. Furthermore, schools from across the country compete for the title of “The Most Philosophical School in America.”
Archimedean Middle Conservatory is a public middle school, located at 12425 SW Sunset Dr. in Kendall, that aims to initiate young minds into the art of thinking through the teaching of Mathematics, the Greek Language, and Philosophy. The school’s curriculum includes a three-year philosophy program, a study of Mathematics in Greek and English, and a rigorous second-language course in Greek.
Additionally, since 2011, Archimedean Middle Conservatory also is nationally recognized as a Blue Ribbon School. The National Blue Ribbon Schools Program recognizes public and private elementary, middle, and high schools where students perform at very high levels or where significant improvements are being made in students’ academic achievement. | <urn:uuid:3eaf52b7-339a-4216-b29a-7e32621ec7c8> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://www.communitynewspapers.com/kendall-gazette/archimedean-middle-conservatory-wins-national-philosophy-slam-competition/ | 2015-07-04T07:11:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375096579.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031816-00071-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.962822 | 405 |
These were delicious! I know the combination sounds a little weird and if you are not a fan of sweet potatoes or tuna (like Adam) this is not a recipe for you. But if you love all the ingredients (like me) this is a very good, healthy and quick dinner!
Sweet Potato Tuna Cakes w/Broccoli
1.5 large sweet potatoes or 2 medium sweet potatoes
1 can of tuna (I used Albacore White in water)
2 cups of frozen broccoli
2 TBS light sour cream
1 TBS chili powder
1/2 TSP salt
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes ~ cut into chunks ~ add the sweet potato chunks and frozen broccoli to a pot a boiling water and boil until tender then drain ~ once drained add the sweet potato chunks and broccoli to a mixer ~ add the tuna, sour cream, chili powder and salt ~ mix on high until smooth ~ heat a non-stick fry pan to medium heat ~ while the pan is heating form the sweet potato mixture into small patties ~ heat the patties in the pan and flip until they are browned on either side ~ serve and enjoy!
One batch ended up yielding about 8 patties. I ate four for dinner and took a couple for lunch the next day - they reheated really well!
These may not have been the prettiest thing I have ever made but the taste made up for it - they were good! | <urn:uuid:9a458abc-6d47-4811-aab0-67a87d7f343c> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://everydayexplorationsofabigail.blogspot.com/2013/08/ | 2017-11-25T03:57:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934809392.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20171125032456-20171125052456-00590.warc.gz | en | 0.922625 | 296 |
Live within the budget
Another year but the same ole story. The town of Rutland wants another override vote or else we will lose police, ambulance people and so on and so on. Cry me a river. Stop whining and do what the good people of your town have been doing for the last few years, live within your budget.
Such a novel idea, right? Property values have continued to decline. Many people have lost their jobs or have hours cut back. We have learned to do without and so should you. We can’t take much more of you bleeding us dry.
I have not taken my wife out to even a movie in the last couple of years because we can’t afford to. Will you give me extra cash so I can do this? No you will not. And that is how the people of this wonderful town should vote in May. A resounding no.
Be careful also who you vote for selectman. We want a voice for the people. A voice that will say loud and clear, enough is enough. No overrides, no new taxes, period. We are already doing with less so if you take a little more it won’t matter. So tell your neighbors, the person you meet on the street, tell everyone vote no any and all overrides this coming election.

One effects consolidating your student loans spina bifida dating site
With IBR, you loan repayment will never exceed the payment of the 10 year standard repayment plan, and your loan will also be forgiven at the end of the term.The actual amount of your “discretionary income” is determined by a formula based on your family size and income tax returns.This article contains references to products from one or more of our advertisers.We may receive compensation when you click on links to those products.But this statistic is misleading, because a lot of borrowers think this means qualifying for some type of student loan forgiveness program. Actually, most borrowers qualify for student loan forgiveness through one of these “secret” ways.The secret is simple: sign up for a qualifying student loan repayment plan, and your loan will be forgiven at the end of the plan. What's even better is that your income could be low enough to qualify for zero or minimal repayment, at which your loan will be forgiven at the end.
If you have loans from July 1, 2014, you payment will not be higher than 15% of your discretionary income.
The Re PAYE plan also includes an interest subsidy that would help cover 50% of the interest in cases where the new payments cannot keep up with the accruing interest.
You can learn more about how Re PAYE is helping borrowers here.
On this plan, you will make payments for 25 years, and at that point, your loans will be forgiven.
If you are a borrower with loans July 1, 2014, your loan will not exceed 10% of your discretionary income, and the loan will be forgiven after just 20 years.
has a great calculator that can help determine the amount. | <urn:uuid:2252c7ea-edaa-4487-a2d6-122ca9518902> | CC-MAIN-2019-13 | http://jewv.zlatsyvenir.ru/profile/one-effects-consolidating-your-student-loans68 | 2019-03-20T08:03:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-13/segments/1552912202303.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20190320064940-20190320090940-00480.warc.gz | en | 0.966281 | 355 |

THE 5 SENSES OF HOLIDAY MARKETING – DO YOU SEE WHAT I SEE?
It’s all about images in today’s marketing world. There is so much information coming at us on a daily basis. Visuals attract and hold on to our audience’s attention so we’ve decided to take it one step further. Why not engage the client with emotions? Our goal is to make them “see” nature’s beauty, “smell” the flowers, “taste” the sweet candy, “feel” the silk blouse against their skin and “hear” the sounds of the coffee machine.
WHAT’S ON TREND
WAKE UP & SMELL THE CONTENT
If you have a coffee shop – well, you know better than us that the smell of coffee is one of the most recognizable scents so why not let us help you create a template to entice your fans. If you are a spa – we can create an image of lavender baths or scented creams. The possibilities are endless with all senses. #StopAndSmellTheRoses #FollowTheNose
CONTENT MARKETING IS AN ACQUIRED TASTE
If you are a restaurant/bar – this template style can be used for all your popular dishes. Bring them in by building up their appetite with mouth-watering photos. Our design team will gladly help you! #Tasty
LISTEN TO YOUR FOLLOWERS
If you are a car dealer – then we can prepare an image with fast cars. If you are an electronics store – an image of someone listening to music or watching a movie. If you have a gift store – an image of a clock ticking. We can go on and on – if you need more ideas, we’re here for you! #Listen #IHearYou
IT’S TIME TO CHANGE
Every year like clockwork, we go back an hour in October/November. This year is no different! We gain an hour so maybe give them some good ideas on how to fill that extra hour up – an extra hour to write a blog, or shop or read your e-book! #TimeChange #FallBack
CUT YOUR LOSSES
With the Holiday season at our heels, the spirits are high and so are the petty crimes. Businesses and clients alike can fall prey to theft. Share these posts to keep them on their toes so this season can go without a hitch! #Safety #HolidayShopping
CLEAN UP YOUR CONTENT CALENDAR
Everyone seems to employ a cleaning service whether it be personal or for business use. We all need to sell our services and why not stand out in the clutter with sparkling templates. #CleanSweep #CleanUp
WHAT’S UP THIS WEEK
NOVEMBER 1 – NATIONAL FAMILY LITERACY DAY
With more and more of us online, there’s more chance of witnessing #BadGrammar. Share this post with your followers if you are looking to make waves. Encourage the comments – we promise there will be many! #SpellCheck #BadSpelling
NOVEMBER 3 – NATIONAL SANDWICH DAY
In line with this week’s theme of 5 senses, we’re thinking you can go ahead and ask your followers if they can “taste” the juicy hamburger or “hear” the crunchy bacon. The whole point is to have fun with it! People will engage – we promise! #SandwichDay
NOVEMBER 4 – TAURIDS METEOR SHOWER
We want you to imagine the sky all lit up with bright, shiny stars. Share this post and ask them if they can “SEE” the abundance of stars illuminating the sky above. Are you feeling it yet? #ShootingStars #MeteorShower
NOVEMBER 5 – NATIONAL DONUT DAY
We don’t have to sell this day to you nor do you have to with your followers. Donuts are our weakness. It’s that simple! How about asking them to describe the “Taste” or “Smell” of a freshly baked donut. #DonutDay #DonutLove #Doughnuts
CAN YOU SMELL THE CHRYSANTHEMUMS?
On average, flowers make most people smile and feel good. Sharing the flower of the month every month is a good reminder for most of what’s in season or ideas to pick up for their mates. #Chrysanthemum #NovemberFlower
CAN YOU SEE THE COLOR YELLOW? CAN YOU FEEL ITS WARMTH?
Yellow is a happy color! Yellow brightens your day! Yellow also encourages sales! A pop of yellow in your newsfeed is not a bad idea especially on these grey, rainy (snowy) days! #Yellow #ColorOfTheMonth
THIS IS JUST A TASTE OF WHAT’S TO COME WITH OUR CONTENT CALENDAR. WE HOPE THAT YOU WILL SEE THE POTENTIAL IN IMPLEMENTING THE 5 SENSES INTO YOUR MARKETING STRATEGIES. KEEP IN TOUCH WITH US, WE ALWAYS ARE READY TO LISTEN. CAN YOU SMELL THE EXCITEMENT?
NEXT WEEK WE START THE ONSLAUGHT OF HOLIDAY TEMPLATES. ONCE THE CANDIES CLEAR FROM THE SHELVES, IT’S FULL ON THANKSGIVING & HOLIDAY CHEER. WE ARE WORKING DAY AND NIGHT (LIKE ELVES) TO GET YOUR CONTENT PLANS ALL FESTIVE AND JUST RIGHT.
If you don’t see anything that suits you, be sure to let us know! We have professional designers on hand to create social templates for your needs. And of course, any questions, comments, or concerns are welcome. It’s always important to take every opportunity to attract new customers, whether it be by using your own creativity to design content, or by saving time and using PromoRepublic library to find customizable content that works for you. | <urn:uuid:5aec9d9f-775d-4ee8-9f82-442829b6e001> | CC-MAIN-2017-34 | http://en.promorepublic.com/blog/write-social-networks-november-week-1/ | 2017-08-20T04:08:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-34/segments/1502886105970.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20170820034343-20170820054343-00618.warc.gz | en | 0.861323 | 1,306 |

You know the old saw about half our advertising being wasted but we don't know which half? Well, now we do, thanks to Martin Lindstrom, a Danish brand consultant and the author of the book Buyology, who took a brave leap into neuroscience to figure out why we buy or don't. Using functional MRI and other brain-scanning techniques, he went beyond the flimflam of the Mad Men and measured the minds of more than 2,000 consumers, all observed under the influence of marketing.
What Lindstrom, 39, found was that many ads are not only ineffective but also have a sort of reverse effect. Huge health warnings on cigarette packs may actually encourage smokers to light up because they trigger a mental echo of the desirable product. Ford spent $26 million sponsoring American Idol, yet Lindstrom found that consumers came to think less of the company, mostly because its ads interrupted the show.
It was in 2003 that Lindstrom started reading about brain-imaging tools and realized they could be applied to marketing. He raised research money, brought scientists on board and helped recruit subjects. He's one of the first brand experts to understand the biology of consumer desire.
When you look past what people say and measure what their brains say, you realize the subconscious controls purchasing. Pepsi, for example, always won the Pepsi Challenge, but Coke won in the marketplace, because it's not about which tastes better but about which we think tastes better. That's an emotional reaction, not a rational (or even gustatory) one, and the brain scans reveal how it happens.
As a generation grows up online, the tools of persuasion will have to be as measurable as the medium. Google does it with clicks and links, and Lindstrom does it with neurons and blood flow. Somewhere between the eye and the mouse finger is the secret to selling.

In the 1990s, it seemed like almost everyone had money. Most Americans were upbeat about their economic prospects, and they showed off their money in various ways. This might have been through a new home, a stylish car, or trendy attire. The latter trend trickled down to teenagers and even younger kids. If you lived in this era, then you know that it was cool to be "in with the crowd."
Today's younger consumers have a much different definition of cool. In fact, wearing attire that sports a logo to show that you're "in with the crowd" is out. Teenagers now desire uniqueness, showing who they are via art, music, attire, and more. They're also more into urban attire than what can sometimes be referred to as "preppy."
Although not all of the attire from Abercrombie & Fitch (NYSE: ANF ) , Aeropostale (NYSE: ARO ) , and American Eagle (NYSE: AEO ) fits into the "preppy" category, these brands simply aren't seen as on-trend anymore. This doesn't mean all three companies are being left for dead. Abercrombie & Fitch and American Eagle have enough fiscal strength to pull off comebacks if they can rebrand themselves correctly. For Aeropostale, the light at the end of the tunnel is dimming by the day.
Let's begin with American Eagle. It claims to offer "high-quality, on-trend clothing, accessories, and care products." The high-quality part is justifiable, but on-trend is not.
For the nine weeks ended January 4, the company's revenue declined 2% from the year-ago period. Comps slid 7%. Looking ahead, American Eagle now expects diluted earnings-per-share of $0.26 versus a prior expectation of $0.26-$0.30.
A retailer that suffers a 2% decline in revenue and a 7% hit to comps is not on-trend. However, it could be worse.
Aeropostale's third-quarter sales plummeted 15%, with comps also declining 15%. The struggling retailer reported a net loss of $25.6 million. Aeropostale stated that the retail environment was more promotional than had been anticipated, and that brand transformation was taking slower than expected. For the fourth quarter, the company expects a net loss of $0.24-$0.32 per diluted share. Not good.
For the nine weeks ended January 4, Abercrombie & Fitch suffered a year-over-year sales decline of 6%, with domestic comps sliding 4% and international comps tumbling 10%. Although these were poor numbers, they were better than expected, and direct-to-consumer sales (now 25% of revenue) increased by 25%. That's a positive. Furthermore, Abercrombie & Fitch now expects full-year adjusted non-GAAP diluted earnings-per-share of $1.55-$1.65 versus an earlier expectation of $1.40-$1.50.
So far, it would appear as though Abercrombie & Fitch would be the best option of this group, and that's likely an accurate assessment. However, we have a red herring, and it's a tasty one.
As stated above, today's teenagers desire urban attire more than they have in any time in history. Fittingly, you might want to look into Urban Outfitters (NASDAQ: URBN ) .
Urban Outfitters recently announced a fourth-quarter net sales increase of 6% year-over-year. Overall comps only climbed by 1%, but this was primarily because spring merchandise did not sell as well as expected over the past several weeks, which might relate to the poor weather throughout the United States. Don't worry. There are more positives.
Comps at Free People jumped 20%, and comps at Anthropologie increased 10%. Furthermore, wholesale sales enjoyed a 20% year-over-year spike.
Now consider the five-year revenue performance for Urban Outfitters versus those of its aforementioned peers:
Also take into account that Urban Outfitters generated $415.92 million in operating cash flow over the past year. This was superior to the performances of Abercrombie & Fitch, American Eagle, and Aeropostale, which generated operating cash flows of $234.69 million, $357.94 million, and negative $4.05 million, respectively.
On top of that, Urban Outfitters sports the healthiest balance sheet: $422.48 million in cash and no debt. Abercrombie & Fitch has $257.52 million in cash versus $200.37 million in long-term debt. American Eagle and Aeropostale are debt-free, but neither of them have as much available cash as Urban Outfitters. American Eagle and Aeropostale have cash positions of $357.21 million and $68.02 million, respectively.
This fiscal strength will allow Urban Outfitters to reinvest more in its growing business, and potentially buy other popular names for inorganic growth (if necessary.)
Only Abercrombie & Fitch and American Eagle offer dividend yields, at 2.30% and 3.60% respectively, but that still doesn't make them more appealing than Urban Outfitters.
The Foolish takeaway
If you're looking to invest in a "teen retailer" that's on-trend, diversified with other target markets, growing faster than its peers, and offering superior fiscal strength, then you might want to consider Urban Outfitters.

Five Tips for Sourcing Eco-Friendly Furniture
American spend tens of billions of dollars each year on furniture. Many of them will visit a high street store to browse and purchase and get to pay a hefty premium, particularly if the item is a designer brand.
When the item becomes worn out (usually fairly quickly) or the fashion changes (even more quickly) the old furniture is often thrown out and the whole process starts again.
Since each item of furniture needs resources (wood, metal, plastic, rubber, etc.) and energy for both material extraction, manufacture and transportation, the environmental cost and unit price rise together.
Fortunately, it is now trendy to be green so many eco-aware consumers are now ignoring the marketing and looking for ways to look after the planet when they buy furniture.
Here are five tips for sourcing sustainable & eco-friendly furniture:
1) Choose Sustainable Materials
Sustainable materials are those which can be replenished when used. Timber from ancient forests is not sustainable so should be shunned at all costs to avoid damaging habitats and even the climate as a whole (big forests absorb large amounts of carbon dioxide, helping reduce global warming).
Ask questions about the source of any wood you buy. Looking for the FSC label is a good start but be aware that this organization has come under fire from environmental groups who challenge some of its practices.
Bamboo is a versatile material and some varieties can grow as much as four foot per day making plantations easier to manage sustainably. Better still, use driftwood or Rainforest Alliance certified Rediscovered Wood (e.g. sunken logs, diseased trees, unproductive orchard trees, etc.)
2) Think Durability
The longer a consumed product lasts, the more environmentally friendly it is. With every passing generation it seems that the lifespan of furniture decreases with cheaper components used in their assembly. Then there is the power of marketing promoting the latest designs and features. These are rarely necessary for comfort and can make a piece of furniture more likely to wear out and more difficult to repair.
Simple, timeless items of furniture made from good quality materials are more likely to stand the test of time.
3) Find Flexible Items
Durable items that are also versatile are better still. For example, rather than buy a huge dining table that you will only fully use once a month, opt for a small, extendable table. Not only will it be easier to transport (saving fuel costs) and provide more space, you will be more likely to find a use for it around the home if you do invest in a full size dining table further down the line.
4) Avoid VOCs
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are responsible for that ‘just out of the factory’ smell that comes with brand new furniture. Unfortunately, they are also linked with endocrine disruption, birth defects and even cancer. Concentrations of VOCs can be a hundred times higher indoors and pets and very young children are particularly vulnerable as they often lick materials.
Buying second-hand furniture or items that have been naturally treated (or untreated) will help keep you and your family safe and healthy.
5) Don’t Throw Out
Sending your old furniture to landfill removes it from circulation and increases the demand for a new product – with all the production costs and resources that entails. It is far kinder to the environment to maximize a product’s lifespan.
If you have simply become fed up with a piece of furniture, consider either re-purposing it (turning it into something else) or refreshing it with some TLC. For example, this blog post explains how to reupholster your own furniture. If you like it, you could even sell your services to others in your neighbourhood.
If you have to get rid, online sites such as Craigslist and eBay have made it so much easier to sell on old furniture it is almost unethical not to use them. However, if you really don’t want the bother, placing your old furniture outside with a ‘Free to a Good Home’ sign is a convenient alternative.
These five tips will hopefully have stimulated your imagination and kick-started your drive to reduce your ecological footprint. | <urn:uuid:fc6dbe7a-ec08-474a-a6e6-60facdd5f89d> | CC-MAIN-2018-39 | http://www.ckvango.com/2017/08/five-tips-sourcing-eco-friendly-furniture/ | 2018-09-25T23:45:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-39/segments/1537267162563.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20180925222545-20180926002945-00341.warc.gz | en | 0.934473 | 871 |
These absorbing and intricate works offer an endless fund of discovery to the attentive listener. And ‘discovery’ is certainly the operative word: while the First Violin Sonata has been recorded in its considerably truncated 1956 revision, the gorgeous, rhapsodic original version – at some 45”, half as long again –seems to have languished in silence for more than a century after its first performances in 1908. The Fourth Sonata, on the other hand (composed in the same year as the revision of the First), remained unperformed and in manuscript until it was made available to the present performers by the composer’s son.
The stakes of the composer when writing each of these sonatas could scarcely have been more contrasting. The outpouring of an enfant terrible fêted by such luminaries as Debussy, the earlier work oozes self-confidence and a bravura disregard for the kind of formal control that informed its later revision. By contrast the Fourth Sonata, the private musing of a man in his late seventies almost entirely ignored by the musical establishment, makes a brittle and aphoristic statement that bespeaks mature mastery and razor-sharp precision of musical thought.
Expressions, though they are, of very different aesthetics, however, the two sonatas are still audibly products of the same musical mind. Given the rising appreciation in recent years of the quality of that mind, evident from the growing number of recordings, they are striking also for their shared neglect. Made more than half a century after the composition of Sonata No. 4 and 45 years after Scott’s death, this recording can surely only add to the ever-growing number of devotees to the work of this rare musical genius. | <urn:uuid:33abcc3a-1f34-4d55-89d5-a1f9744b5333> | CC-MAIN-2019-39 | http://affettorecordings.com/site/release/dawn-and-twilight-the-first-and-last-violin-sonatas-of-cyril-scott-world-premiere-recordings/ | 2019-09-16T06:37:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-39/segments/1568514572491.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20190916060046-20190916082046-00034.warc.gz | en | 0.96107 | 361 |

Paying It Back
John was having what could best be described as a rough day. He received a call earlier that morning from his elderly mother with the stressful news that her apartment complex was being fumigated over the next three days. She would need help getting packed up for a local hotel stay and was hoping John could come give her a hand for a few days. Without hesitation, he had agreed and purchased a ticket back east with a late departure time, hoping that his daughter would sleep through the flight.
It was long past the little girl’s bedtime when they arrived at the airport and she snuggled on John’s lap while he waited for their boarding call. While waiting, John chatted with an older lady sitting nearby who smiled at the sleepy little girl.
When it was finally time to board the plane, John was told that his daughter would need a ticket as well. Shocked, John explained that he had only purchased one ticket, thinking Ellie would sleep on his lap, but the agent said that rule was strictly for children under two. John had some cash on hand but certainly did not have enough to purchase an extra plane ticket.
From behind, the older lady handed a credit card to the agent and asked to purchase a ticket for Ellie
John protested, but the lady insisted and finally John relented with the promise that he would take down her information and pay her back when he got home. She smiled and agreed.
Later, when John looked at the paper that was supposed to have her contact information, he saw that she had written only a note: “Thank you for a lovely chat. Please consider your debt repaid with kindness.”
Please don’t keep me a secret…
The next time you’re in a conversation with a friend from work, your neighborhood, church, your gym or country club and they mention that they are interested in selling their house or rental property please, don’t keep me a secret. Pick up your cell phone, look up my number, (hint: 650-346-7366) and call me immediately. When you call we can talk about what would be the best way for you to introduce them to me.
It was long thought that prehistoric humans consumed bone marrow as soon as possible after killing their prey, as marrow was an important source of nutrition in ancient times.
However, the Fox News website reports new findings which indicate that 400,000 years ago, ancient people saved and stored marrow in bones for as long as nine weeks before consumption. The bones served as “cans,” according to researchers exploring the Qesem Cave near Tel Aviv, and allowed early humans to break the bone when necessary to consume the still nutritious marrow inside.
This upends the previous belief that Paleolithic humans lived a hand-to-mouth existence as hunter-gatherers.

Dealing With Stress
Stress has a negative impact on everyone’s health. One way to ease the stress in your life? Unsurprisingly, Bicycle Cards advises that you play a game of cards. They might be onto something – here’s how a few friendly rounds of cards can help reduce stress:
- A card game isn’t just about counting up points. It’s a good path to friendly and lively conversations that can help you relax.
- Conversation usually leads to laughter, which can reduce tension in your mind and body.
- Low pressure. Assuming you’re not playing high-stakes poker with your life savings on the line, a nice game of Hearts or Gin Rummy offers entertainment without
- Brain exercise. Strategizing, keeping track of the play, and calculating your points at the end of the game helps keep your mind fresh.
- No technology. You can play Blackjack on your smartphone, but a few hands of Pinochle with friends lets you detach from technology for a while and reconnect with the rest of the world.
- Brain exercise. Strategizing, keeping track of the play, and calculating your points at the end of the game helps keep your mind fresh.
Some of the most common things we use every day were invented by creative women. Here are a few, gathered by the Mental Floss website:
- Circular saws. Tabitha Babbit, a weaver in a Shaker community, observed that a two-man pit saw worked only when being pulled forward. She suggested that a circular saw would be more efficient. In 1813, she took that for action, attached a prototype to her spinning wheel, and filed a patent thereafter for her
- Paper bags. Margaret Knight created the modern, flat-bottomed paper bag in Before then, paper bags looked like envelopes. An intellectual thief tried to steal the idea and file a patent, but Knight stood up for herself, filed a lawsuit, and won the rights to her creation.
- Windshield wipers. Mary Anderson invented the first manual windshield wipers in 1903. They didn’t take off because most drivers thought it was safer to simply drive through rain and snow, rather than keep pulling a lever to clear it. Another woman, Charlotte Bridgwood, invented an automatic version in 1917, but it wasn’t accepted By 1920, windshield wipers were everywhere, starting with Cadillac, which began standardly installing them on all its cars.
- Liquid A secretary named Bette Nesmith Graham had a habit of correcting her typing mistakes with white tempera paint. After years of perfecting the formula in her kitchen, she patented Liquid Paper in 1958. Gillette bought her company in 1979 for $47.5 million.
- This lightweight material is five times stronger than steel and can stop a bullet. A chemist named Stephanie Kwolek discovered it by accident in 1966 as she was trying to develop a lightweight fiber for car tires.
“The writer must have a good imagination to begin with, but the imagination has to be muscular, which means it must be exercised in a disciplined way, day in and day out, by writing, failing, succeeding, and revising.” ~ Stephen King
Leonardo da Vinci is known for such paintings as “Mona Lisa” and “The Last Supper,” but he was also a masterful engineer. According to the LiveScience website, in the 16th century he designed what would have been the longest bridge in the world at the time, connecting Constantinople to a nearby area called Galata over the Bosporus Sea. He was responding to a request for proposals from Sultan Bayezid, the ruler of the Ottoman Empire.
DaVinci’s bridge was never built, but modern researchers from MIT have built a 3D replica of the bridge, using materials and construction equipment that would have been available in the 16th century.
They found that da Vinci’s design, using only a single arch, would have been structurally sound, thanks to compression that would have held the bridge’s stones together. Leonardo was a true Renaissance man.

Setting Your Limits
Sometimes a few constraints can boost your creativity. As recounted on the Fast Company website, publisher Bennett Cerf bet one of his authors, Theo Geisel – better known as Dr. Seuss – that he couldn’t write a children’s book with just 50 different words. Seuss stepped up to the challenge and won the bet with his book, Green Eggs and Ham.
“Putting limits to encourage creativity might sound counterintuitive.” writes JotForm CEO Aytekin Tank on the website.
“But the thing is, constraints encourage more divergent thinking – and you can leverage built-in limits or apply them to the project at hand. For example, sometimes we’ll tell our designers that they can only have 10 elements on a product screen. These limits stretch their problem-solving abilities and typically produce surprising results.”

People who’ve made it to the top have lots of advice to share. The Muse website features these tidbits:
- Miriam Salpeter, founder of Keppie Careers: “Use every job as an opportunity to learn something new and keep an open mind; you may find that you really enjoy something you never imagined would appeal to you.”
- Catherine Straut, assistant editor of Elle: “When it comes to having your ideas heard, or to really connect with co-workers, never underestimate the power of face time and the importance of in-person communication.”
- Jane Fonda, actress: “If the career you have chosen has some unexpected inconvenience, console yourself by reflecting that no career is without ”
“After nourishment, shelter, and companionship, stories are the thing we need most in the world”. —Philip Pullman
A police officer was testing three potential detectives on suspect identification. She showed the first man a photo for five seconds and then turned the photo over and asked the candidate how he could best be identified. The man replied that the suspect would be easy to spot because he has only one eye. The police officer frowned and explained that only one eye was showing because it was a profile photo. She moved on to the next candidate, who sat back in his chair, smiled and smugly said:
“Ha! He’d be too easy to catch because he only has one ear!”
“What’s the matter with you two?!” exclaimed the officer. “Only one eye and one ear are showing because it’s a picture of his side profile!”
Extremely frustrated, she showed the picture to the third candidate and asked the question for a third time. The third man looked at the picture intently then calmly pointed out that the suspect wears contact lenses. The officer didn’t know what to think, but checked the suspect’s file on her computer and was shocked to find it was true.
“Wow! I can’t believe it. It’s true! The suspect does, in fact, wear contact lenses. Good work! How were you able to make such an astute observation?”
“Easy,” the third man replied. “He can’t wear regular glasses, because he only has one eye and one ear.”
Pushing the Reset Button
If December is a month for celebrations then January is a month to reset after so many celebrations, and that includes reaching out to employees and coworkers to start the year out right. Here are a few tips to help you line up your workforce with a fresh start:
- Celebrate accomplishments. Let your workforce feel good about what they achieved last Remind them of successes, small and significant. Emphasize the value of working together on common goals and establish which of those goals you can tackle together this year.
- Set the right example. If employees see you giving it your all as the year starts out, they’ll be more likely to stay attentive to their own responsibilities. At the same time, be a little flexible to show employees you understand they are recovering from holiday
- Keep the excitement going. Encourage people to freshen up their workspace, bring healthy treats to share at work, or set up a donation drive for a local spring
- Plan for the future. Looking ahead to new projects and goals can be more attractive when people are feeling excited and hopeful. Get employees involved in strategic planning for a specific date with defined

Daily Productivity Habits
Success is based on how you use the time available to you every day. To make the most of every minute, follow these simple rules:
- Use a day planner. Whether you rely on technology or old-fashioned pencil and paper, plan every day for maximum efficiency. Start with a daily to-do list for both short- and long-term projects, carry over unfinished business to the next day, and check your list frequently so nothing important drops off your radar.
- Set priorities. Don’t just work on tasks randomly. Identify your most important goals, your secondary objectives, and routine items that you can’t ignore. Plan your day around the work that supports your top goals, moving on to other projects when time permits. Always ask yourself, “What’s the most important and productive task I could be working on right now?”
- Eliminate procrastination. This can be tough, but it separates the truly successful people from the rest: Don’t waste time on nonessentials. Get quickly to the point in every conversation, and move on as soon as you’re finished. Plan your work, but don’t over-prepare. Decide what you need to accomplish, and then do it. Even if you don’t enjoy certain tasks, think of how relieved you’ll feel once you’re finished.
“We’ve all heard that a million monkeys banging on a million typewriters will eventually reproduce the entire works of Shakespeare. Now, thanks to the Internet, we know this is not true.” ~Robert Wilensky

Leave The Germs Behind When You Move
Moving to a new home means a fresh start. It’s an opportunity to discard what you don’t need and start a new phase of life. However do you want to take some unwanted items with you? Because many take with them to their new homes…germs and bacteria.
Researchers have found that families commonly carry household bacteria from one house to another when they move. Furthermore, less than a day went by before a family’s new home was already populated by the same bacteria as its old one. So be prepared—you may be making new memories, but you’ll be sharing some of the same old germs.

“I can't even begin to tell you how great an honor it was to receive the grant. It changed my financial situation dramatically but even more important was how it changed my own self perception.”
Bob McGrath, January 1996
Bob McGrath is a Founding Artistic Director of Ridge Theater, where he has remained Director since 1987. Ridge Theater's productions position performers within film and video projections to challenge traditional theatrical boundaries. Dramatic staging by McGrath, haunting film works and projections by filmmaker Bill Morrison and visual stylings by artist Laurie Olinder are all hallmarks of the Ridge Theater style.
He has directed theater and opera at venues including the Brooklyn Academy of Music, Lincoln Center, The American Repertory Theater, Carnegie Hall's Zankel Hall, The Kimmel Center-Verizon Hall with The Philadelphia Orchestra, Krannert Center, Vineyard Theater, St. Ann's Warehouse, La MaMa E.T.C., and The Kitchen.

Daniel Bernard Roumain, Mikel Rouse, John Moran, Susan Sontag, Robert Spano, DJ Spooky, Mac Wellman, and Julia Wolfe.
Since his 1995 FCPA support, McGrath has received two Obies: for Best Production of The Carbon Copy Building in 2000, and for Direction of Jennie Richee in 2001. In 2008 he received nominations for the Drama Desk Award and the Lucile Lortel Award for Directon for The Slug Bearers of Kayrol Island in 2008. Prior to his 1995 Grants to Artists award, McGrath was the recipient of a 1994 Obie Award for Sustained Achievement. His directing projects have been supported by grants from the Rockefeller Foundation MAP Fund, National Endowment for the Arts, New York State Council on the Arts, The Greenwall Foundation, The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, Association of Performing Arts Presenters, Sony Corporation, Puffin Foundation, and Peg Stantvoord Foundation, among others.
McGrath received his B.F.A. in Directing from Carnegie Mellon University and participated in a Master Directing Workshop with Lee Breuer. He has been a guest lecturer at New York University, Columbia University, Harvard University, Sarah Lawrence College, Julliard School of Drama, University of Houston, University of Georgia, Carnegie Mellon, and Eastern Connecticut State University.

Your identity belongs to you. Here are some suggestions from Sneed Insurance to help you protect it.
One smart and effective way to protect yourself against identity theft is to prevent it. If your identity is stolen, you'll be able to lessen problems by acting quickly, whether you live in Tennessee or elsewhere.
Start with Good Habits
- Print out a copy of this page and store it in a convenient place
- Leave your Social Security card at home in a safe place
- Shred papers with personal information
- Reduce your credit card accounts, and only carry the cards you need
- Write checks with a permanent pen, and mail from a secure place
- Photocopy both sides of your credit cards and store safely
Watch Your Accounts Closely
- Review balances and transactions often by phone or online
- Make sure every transaction on your credit card statements is accurate
- Take advantage of free credit reports and watch for unusual activity
- Sign up with Experian, Transunion, and Equifax and stagger your requests to get a free credit report every four months or sign up for credit watch services which will report directly to you for a fee
Fill Out the FTC Affidavit Quickly
- The FTC Theft Affidavit supplies proof that you didn't authorize any accounts opened or debts run up by the identity thief
- New accounts need this FTC affidavit form to investigate the fraud and process your claim
- Call your existing accounts for instructions on disputing unauthorized charges as other forms may be needed
- Keep originals of the affidavit, as well as all supporting materials such as driver's license or police report. Send copies only.
- Send quickly - many creditors request that you send the affidavit within two weeks
Keep This Information Handy:
Federal Trade Commission:
Social Security Administration
Fraud Line: 1-800-269-0271
Credit Reporting Agencies
Identity Theft Plan of Action
- Call your credit card companies immediately. Explain what happened, and ask where to send a copy of the police report.
- Call and report to the police. Make several copies of the police report.
- Complete a Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Theft Affidavit and FTC report (see contact information above to request these forms).
- Call your bank. They can place an alert on your Driver's License number and Social Security Number, and freeze your account.
- Call fraud units of credit report agencies: Experian, Equifax, and Transunion.

Brazilian beach volleyball pair Juliana Felisberta Silva and Larissa Franca are favorites to win the women’s event at the London Olympics, but one has her heart set on more than a gold medal.
Felisberta also wants a date with a prince.
Celebrating her 29th birthday on Sunday with a ride on the London Eye, a Ferris wheel that dominates the heart of the city, Felisberta was delighted to spot the beach volleyball venue and its close neighbor, Buckingham Palace.
“It’s very nice because it’s near the house of your Queen, and I hope the princes will come, especially to my games,” Felisberta said on Monday at the Brazilian team’s training center in Crystal Palace, southeast London.
Prince Harry, 27, the youngest son of heir to the throne Prince Charles, played a well-publicized game of beach volleyball on the Copacabana during a recent trip to Brazil.
The episode fueled speculation the prince would make an appearance at the Olympic beach volleyball event, which is taking place at Horse Guards Parade, a site normally used to celebrate the birthday of his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.
The Palace said on Monday he would be attending, although Felisberta did not know that at the time she made her remarks.
Beach volleyball has been an Olympic sport since Atlanta in 1996, but it is often not taken seriously because of endless close-up snapshots of women players in their skimpy bikinis.
Far from dismissing the hype over the outfits, the exuberant Felisberta has clearly embraced her sport’s sexy image.
She told reporters it offered great opportunities to enjoy the sight of fabulous bodies, male and female.
“For sure the people of London will enjoy the beach volleyball a lot. It’s a really interesting sport and the players have beautiful bodies. The people of the UK will love beach volleyball after these Olympics,” she said.
Felisberta seemed genuinely enthralled at the prospect of a royal audience, returning to the subject multiple times during her news conference.
However, sadly for Prince Harry, who is unmarried, the Brazilian said she had a preference for his elder brother, Prince William, 30, who married Kate Middleton last year in front of a global TV audience of millions.
“Prince William is very handsome ... But I doubt he will leave his wife for me because she is gorgeous,” the boisterous Felisberta said.
However, for all the jesting, she and her teammate are deadly serious about their medal prospects.
“We’re ready for the kill,” said Franca, 30, summing up their ambition.
The pair have lifted almost every trophy there is to win in their sport together, but their Olympic hopes were dashed in Beijing in 2008 when Felisberta pulled out with a knee injury. | <urn:uuid:00b900d2-87a9-426a-a522-26ff22ed5c94> | CC-MAIN-2013-48 | http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/sport/archives/2012/07/25/2003538579 | 2013-12-08T12:20:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-48/segments/1386163065409/warc/CC-MAIN-20131204131745-00025-ip-10-33-133-15.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.970145 | 613 |

Cut flower care instructions
To retain your flowers and plants looking lovely for longer, ensure they are not placed near devices which give off heat, radiators or televisions. Exhibit your arrangement in a cool place and avoid particularly cold or hot locations.
Verify the water supply immediately upon arrival. Fill a bowl or sink with water, completely plunge the stems underwater and cut them at a 45° angle using a knife, scissors or precision secateur. Cutting your flower stem ends at a 45-degree angle will ensure that they have plenty of surface area to take in water and that they don't stand flat on the bottom of the vase.
If you want to save some money on wedding flowers use the ones that are available, in season and ready. They cost less than flowers that are out of season. Remember that all flowers cost more during the month of February because of Valentine's Day.
Trust us and stick with the pros. Even if you're a plant expert, you are still going to be extremely busy in the days prior to your big event and on the day of your wedding to handle the floral arrangements yourself.
Sympathy roses and Sympathy Baskets are normally sent to the mortuary, church or funeral home. Most churches, mortuaries and funeral homes have a wake, viewing or visitation where friends and associates come to pay their respects. Appropriate sympathy flower etiquette is to send Sympathy flowers or Sympathy plants to the church, mortuary or funeral home before the first visitation hours.
Specialty arrangements such as bibles and crosses, are Suitable for delivery to the funeral home, church or mortuary. Specialty arrangements are displayed on a stand and make wonderful presentation.

Not surprisingly, the opinions on Niklas Kronwall's hit on Martin Havlat during the first period of Game 3 differed depending on what dressing room you were in.
An angry Blackhawks defenseman Brian Campbell was by far the most outspoken player regarding the shoulder check to the head that knocked Havlat out of the game.
"I thought (Kronwall) jumped. I thought Marty didn't have the puck. I thought his forearm came up high. I thought it was gutless all around,'' Campbell said. "He's done it hundreds of times in the league and it seems like nothing ever happens. ... These guys gotta pay for it, guys that are taking shots to the head. It's unacceptable, and it's not like it's the first time it's happened with that guy."
Kronwall defended the hit.
"I think people that know me know that I never really try to hurt anyone out there,'' Kronwall said.
He said he is hoping Havlat is OK.
"I think I would have felt the same way (as Campbell) if someone did that to one of my teammates,'' Kronwall said. "It's unfortunate he got hurt. You never try to hurt anyone. You try to make a hit.'' | <urn:uuid:ff431b86-05cf-4769-8009-1ad6452170c6> | CC-MAIN-2015-14 | http://www.mlive.com/redwings/index.ssf/2009/05/blackhawks_brian_campbell_call.html | 2015-03-31T07:23:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-14/segments/1427131300441.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20150323172140-00209-ip-10-168-14-71.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.986273 | 254 |

Discover a new place can be stressful and amazing at the same time. You should go over these tips to get suggestions on how you can have the best possible vacation.
Try and leave important valuables at home. The more valuables you bring with you, the more chance you have of losing one or more of them or possibly having them stolen.
It is important to document certain information if you are traveling abroad. You should have your embassy’s phone number, address and website if available, for any country you travel to. You will need their assistance should you encounter legal troubles. This will help with the troubles that you get into.
Make a packing list. Start as soon as you can before your trip, that way you can add your must-have items to the list as you think of them. Even last minute packing won’t be as stressful, when you have a list to reference. It will also take the panic out of forgetting anything.
Booking all travel arrangements well in advance is a great way to save money. All of the things that can be purchased on a trip share one thing in common, and that is that they cost less when purchased in advance. By minimizing last-minute expenditures, you can make your travel stretch that much further.
You should know that some criminals pose as police officers in dangerous cities. Be sure your passport is in your possession at all times, and never give it to anyone. If an officer or official asks you to come to their office, do so on foot. Don’t ride with someone you don’t know.
Have a door stopper to use during your hotel stay. You may not have access to the type of security that you think is acceptable. If the door on your room doesn’t have an extra deadbolt or chain in addition to the main lock, place the door stopper beneath the door before you head to bed.
Some people find that they miss the luxuries of home while away. You can take a few things you love with you. Just bring the toiletry items that you really need. Make a short list of toiletries you use daily and are truly needed. Pack what you know you need to get through the trip.
Build a travel bin. Avoid wasting time searching for all the little things you only use for traveling. Get a bin and keep all of your travel items in one place. It’s even better if you can get one that fits under your bed or that can be tucked away somewhere else conveniently.
The stark views offered by a desert have their own unique beauty, and you will enjoy experiencing their exotic flora and fauna. There is something beautiful about seeing a desert for the first time, and it is something that should be experienced by everyone.
When traveling abroad, it is smart to think about possible emergencies like losing your passport. You can visit different websites to safeguard against this. Department of State has a website which provides all of the information that you need for the country you’re visiting. Take this information along on your vacation. Many times, you can get a replacement passport within a few days.
If you are going to be renting a car, make sure you review your auto insurance policy prior to leaving home. Many times, people think they need rental car insurance when they actually don’t. In many cases, insurance policies on vehicles also include basic coverage in the case of a third party liability. It is important that you look over your insurance policy before leaving.
When staying at a hotel, be sure you have travel candles. It will add a pleasant aroma to your room. They are soothing and give the room a romantic feel, making it easy to relax. You can buy these candles in miniature sizes, and they are usually drip free.
By applying the tips in the above article, you are certain to find new and exciting things during your next trip. Regardless of how often you travel, your next trip will be the best you can remember. | <urn:uuid:4020fc7f-b68c-47bd-b7b5-90d018dcc170> | CC-MAIN-2020-45 | https://yestocamping.com/camping-related/online-resources-for-traveling-for-less/ | 2020-10-30T07:41:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-45/segments/1603107909746.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20201030063319-20201030093319-00020.warc.gz | en | 0.96302 | 818 |
I live in the upstate of SC so i'll be trailering the boat to the keys.
I've yet to set a destination to set sail. Hopefully not far from the hundreds of uninhabited islands that are around the keys
the orginal plan was to take a trailer full of kayaks down there and camp on the islands. Basicly fishing and hopefully manatee sight seeing.
Now that i've aquired a sailboat and found out that the wife and daughter only like kayaking down rivers (lakes are too much work) so the kayaks are out.
I've also had issues finding out just what islands you can camp on. I'm not into camp grounds, i prefer true primitive camping. Leave nothing behind but foot prints kind of camping.
The dogs also like island camping. The smaller the island the better, that way it's easier for me to clean up after the dogs and i don't have to worry about them disturbing the wildlife.
with the sailboat i'm not acutally planning on caming on the island, only hanging out on the beach all day.

The intersection between the care crisis and the climate crisis is evident, and the pandemic has only made the existing strain worse. Though the care crisis is a complex phenomenon, the main view of the crisis I will focus on in this analysis is that the care crisis stems from the deregulation of domestic care workers and the unequal burden of care that falls on women. The climate crisis refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns, which have been caused by human actions such as burning fossil fuels that generate greenhouse gas emissions (United Nations, 2022). Both the care crisis and climate crisis disproportionately affect socioeconomically disadvantaged populations. For example, the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean has shown that it is women who, whether paid or unpaid, bear the greatest caregiving burden in the countries that the commission analyzed. As the climate continues to fall into crisis, several health issues have arisen from fluctuating extreme temperatures and natural disasters that have stemmed from the climate crisis.
According to the World Health Organization, climate change is the biggest health threat facing humanity (WHO, 2022). As of now, global heating of 1.5 degrees Celsius is not considered safe, and every additional tenth of a degree of warming of the planet will take a serious toll on health overall (WHO, 2022). The irony of it all is that those who have been disproportionately affected by the health consequences of climate change are people of lower socioeconomic status, who contribute the least to its causes. Overall, health issues that can stem from climate change-related causes are illnesses from extreme weather events, an increase in zoonotic and vector-borne illnesses, respiratory issues due to deteriorating air quality, and mental health concerns (WHO, 2022). Unfortunately, the most at-risk populations are the most socially vulnerable already, such as women, children, ethnic minorities, poor communities, migrants, elderly, and people with underlying health conditions and comorbidities (WHO, 2022). In fact, projections show regional reductions in total DALYs due to chronic and hidden hunger due to food insecurity caused by climate change, especially in Sub-saharan Africa (Sulser, 2021). Overall, the climate crisis poses a profound and alarming threat to human health.
As the COVID-19 pandemic has shown us, our care systems and infrastructure are already teetering with overuse, poor worker treatment, burnout, and inequality. The pandemic has worsened the care crisis and has specifically affected paid domestic workers by making them more vulnerable and not protected by a deregulated system (ECLAC, 2020). Our care system may not be able to handle yet another, more prolonged global crisis caused by climate change. In fact, the COVID-19 pandemic has proved that a global health crisis can halt the entire global economy, which means it is reasonable to say a health crisis caused by climate change will do the same. A report by The Lancet supports this claim, saying that just like the pandemic, climate change can and will overwhelm global healthcare systems (Tripathi, 2020).
Because of the similarities between the global pandemic and global health crisis caused by climate change, the gender disparities in the care crisis amplified by the pandemic will also translate to the climate crisis. The OECD’s 2020 “Risks that Matter” survey states that mothers took on the brunt of additional unpaid care work and experienced labor market penalties and stress because of this (Caregiving in Crisis, 2021). When considering the urgency of the climate crisis and possible policy options to expand the capacity of our healthcare infrastructure, we must address this disproportionate burden of unpaid labor that will inevitably fall on women.
Though many experts and healthcare workers have identified climate change as a major threat to human health, national and global policy do not reflect this concern. There seems to be a disconnect between what experts believe is urgent and what policymakers believe is advantageous. However, many economies are built upon unpaid labor done by women, and economics dictate policy that is typically considered very important. The care crisis should be dealt with accordingly. There should be a push for gender-sensitive policies that make the care system more equitable for workers and patients. This is a timely issue, since the recovery from the global COVID-19 pandemic presents a perfect moment to form a joint response to improve public health infrastructure and our response to climate change while addressing gender and socioeconomic disparities. | <urn:uuid:6bf22f5d-deeb-49e0-a3b0-e348e74cc367> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://www.hercampus.com/school/msu/an-analysis-on-the-complex-interactions-between-the-climate-crisis-and-care-crisis/ | 2024-02-27T09:41:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474674.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20240227085429-20240227115429-00161.warc.gz | en | 0.950088 | 884 |

A record-breaking summer for undergraduate research and service
Photo by Evan Krape August 08, 2018
Tough challenges draw more than 530 Summer Scholars
Editor's note: To learn about the work of some of this year's Summer Scholars, visit https://www.udel.edu/home/summer-undergrad-research/.
If these questions had easy answers, there would be no need for the University of Delaware’s Summer Scholars Program, no need for its research or service-learning programs. But easy stuff isn’t what draws the sharpest minds and the biggest hearts.
They want to go where the challenges are, where problems have not been solved, where they might make a real difference.
And that’s why a record number of undergraduate students – more than 530 – participated in research and service projects this summer.
Many new faculty participated, too, said Iain Crawford, faculty director of UD’s Undergraduate Research Program and president of the national Council on Undergraduate Research.
“For a lot of faculty, especially in the sciences, they see having undergraduates in the lab as an important contribution to their own work. It adds to the quality of research in their labs,” he said. “And we have that culture firmly established at Delaware, a culture where the value of undergraduate research is strongly felt.
“We know, too, that the research tells us that active learning – when you are engaged in creating new knowledge and doing projects where you don’t know the answers going in – is one of the most powerful forms of education that there is. We see that our students are getting those kinds of experiences.”
The 10-week program includes mostly sophomores and juniors, each of whom receives a $4,000 stipend and continues their work in the next academic year.
Students will share their findings and experiences Thursday, Aug. 9 at the ninth annual grand finale – the Summer Scholars Symposium – which runs from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Harker Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering (ISE) Laboratory.
Samantha Gibbs, who was part of the Wilmington Summer Scholars program, will be there with the rest of her team, which included two students from UD’s main campus and four from the Associate in Arts program. Their goal was to help the city find effective new ways to disrupt the gun violence that has ravaged its youth.
Gibbs, who was born in Chester, Pennsylvania, had worked with UD English Prof. David Teague, UD’s Community Engagement Faculty Fellow in the Associate in Arts program, on a project helping city kids write a book.
Those kids had a lot to say – and she listened.
“They couldn’t stop talking,” Gibbs said. “And listening to them I wanted to know what I could do to help them and other kids like them be the best for themselves.”
Christian Wills, a junior English major and recent graduate of the Associate in Arts program, joined the Wilmington Summer Scholars team for a similar reason.
He worked at The Warehouse Project, where more than 20 teens from high-poverty areas of Wilmington were trying to develop new programs for their age group. Recent studies have shown that only eight effective programs are available for them, compared to hundreds for younger children.
It was not smooth sailing. There was turbulence, dysfunction, frustration, fatigue and exasperation to spare. The city teens brought the sharp edges of their streets with them, their anxieties, discouragement and skepticism. They brought backstories most people know nothing about. But they brought hope, too, and the stubborn belief that things could be better and should be better. Maybe somebody would listen and something would change.
The UD students worked with mentors including Darryl Chambers and Kevin Kelley and others from Wilmington’s Department of Parks and Recreation, Safe Havens, The Dual School, The Warehouse and Play Streets Wilmington. They also worked with UD’s Kayla Baptiste of Public Allies Delaware and Roger Hesketh, director of community revitalization at UD’s Center for Community Research and Service.
It was a much tougher assignment than any of these students expected.
“I told them, ‘You’re in here because teenagers are shooting each other. And that’s chaotic,’ ” said Teague. “We’re trying to work on programming, education and support in the neighborhoods. If that stuff existed, we wouldn’t be in here trying to help solve the problem.”
What Teague saw in these six Summer Scholars as their work progressed was nothing short of tremendous.
“In all sincerity, I can say it’s the most ambitious undergraduate research project I have ever been part of,” he said. “But I got to meet the greatest people – these scholars. These students are an asset, an affirmation of all the things we’re doing in the Associate in Arts program and the engagement the University of Delaware wants to do.”
Adolphus Fletcher, a rising junior and a recent graduate of UD’s Associate in Arts program, hopes to major in business. But managing the situations he encountered at The Warehouse was a struggle, he said.
The teens he worked with were new to this kind of effort and this kind of environment. They didn’t arrive with focus or the skills necessary to shape citywide programs. They needed coaching, guidance and behavior management. He felt unqualified.
“At first I hated it, quite frankly,” he said. “But I’ve learned so much about myself and how to better myself. I always wanted to work for social change. I think I’ve learned to deal with people better and help people grow themselves…. These kids haven’t had that before. We’re helping them take their lives to the next level.”
In addition to Gibbs, Wills and Fletcher, the Wilmington Summer Scholars team included senior computer science major and McNair Scholar Derola Bolarinwa, senior English and public policy major Rahsel Holland and junior Liam Stewart, majoring in hospitality and hotel management.
Holland worked in several of the city’s “Safe Havens,” developing histories of these community centers, how they were formed and who they were named for. It was inspiring to learn those stories, she said.
Stewart also worked on the Safe Havens project, learning from Darryl Chambers, who has a long history of advocacy in the city and now is pursuing his doctoral degree at UD.
“Darryl is a big reason why I agreed to do this,” Teague said. “I wanted these students to be around mentors who know what they are doing. He wasn’t easy on them – and that was an asset.”
Stewart said he was impressed by time spent at the Creative Vision Factory, a drop-in center on Market Street.
“I met a lot of interesting people and learning from their experiences was eye-opening,” he said. “One of them is in a wheelchair. He is homeless. But he is working with clay there and teaching ceramics to kids.”
Wills said touring Wilmington with Chambers opened his eyes to areas he had never noticed and helped him get a sense of the community some of the city’s youth lived in.
“It helped me understand why what we’re doing is important,” he said. “You have to know people to make a difference, make changes, get things done. We worked with some amazing people – from Public Allies and the University of Delaware and the Kingswood Community Center. It’s a big learning experience for us.”
Bolarwinya said her previous work with kids had been in a Newark-based daycare center, where many were the children of professors or from middle-class families. There, she was accustomed to a different kind of interaction than she encountered in Wilmington.
“I learned that you can’t take offense,” she said. “It’s less personal. That was the least of my worries – and the least of their problems also. We’re not trying to lecture them on staying off the street or stopping violence. We want to help them make connections and find a job. That’s much more effective than saying ‘Stay off the streets’ or ‘Don’t shoot each other.’”
The stress many city youth face is unfamiliar to those who only study it in books or drive by for a quick look, Fletcher said. And as everyone knows, kids can make things tough for each other.
“One guy was different and some kids were saying, ‘What is his issue?’ Maybe he had a learning disability, but he doesn’t even know that. Meanwhile, he is being a problem the whole time and kids are making fun of him. There’s a lot of tension. But maybe he can’t sleep at night. He’s worried about how he can get any money. It’s a completely different stress level than I’m used to.”
Bolarwinya said it was important to shift her focus from the things she wanted to accomplish to those the work was meant to benefit.
“You have to put them first,” she said. “It’s not that these kids are at our disposal, just helpful resources for us. We have to take a backseat and put them first.”
Gibbs used skills she developed while working with a leadership development company called “Strive” to interact with teens at the H. Fletcher Brown Boys and Girls Club. As she listened to the teens, sometimes hearing harsh words or seeing tantrums, she recognized that many were dealing with trauma, anxiety and other internal challenges. She urged them to take their own wellbeing seriously and reflect on their interactions, as she also is working to do.
“Monitoring yourself is important,” she said. “Is your ‘fuel tank’ good? How are you talking to others? Are you watching your tone? Those are skills they need to learn for themselves.”
During a youth program held at Bayard Elementary School in late July, the Wilmington Summer Scholars met with about a dozen city teens, asking for their suggestions and opinions and recording their answers for a podcast.
They came away with a lot of messages from Wilmington’s teens. Among them:
There are a lot of kids with potential out here. Give us alternatives.
Help us learn self-improvement. Help us build our confidence. Those are big issues.
Some kids don’t know who they are. They just want to fit in. And they want to hear from someone that’s them or has been them.
Give us time to talk together. Ask us questions and let us discuss things in groups.
Give us more sports teams.
Make this last throughout the year, not just in the summer.
Who you associate with can determine whether you feel safe in the city.
We have second-graders and third-graders listening to rappers with guns in their songs, making it catchy. It’s at school and at home. Every song has a message. The creators of that – those producers – push that agenda.
People have paranoia. The way they deal with things is immature.
There are prostitutes everywhere and sometimes people assume things about me just because of how I look.
Some people have had a rough life. They can’t just change suddenly. It’s all they know.
You can’t coach something you’ve never done before. It’s like getting someone on a skateboard to coach basketball.
I like working with kids, teaching them about helping people and being kind.
What might keep someone from going to a program? Other kids.
Transportation is a problem, but a lot of kids are embarrassed to say that. They’re scared. Maybe fake taxis or a bus loop could help.
A lot of things are too expensive. In New York there were more opportunities. We need more low-income community centers, daycare centers and summer camps.
The needs are great, the goals are ambitious and the work is hard, Fletcher said, but you never know what might turn the tide for someone. Kids learn how life could be better by seeing real alternatives and experiencing what it’s like to laugh, have fun and grow.
“Kids may not have the best life, but if you give them 10-15 minutes of happiness and joy – if they’re smiling and they’re happy – they’ll want more of that,” he said.
The work has been intense and it will take awhile for these Scholars to figure out all that has been accomplished, Teague said.
“We know a little about a lot of things now,” said Teague. “Some people get siloed and don’t look to the left or the right. We haven’t had that problem. Maybe in the future we’ll be more like embedded researchers. But they really made the most of their time in Wilmington and not every kid does that.
“I want to keep that magic sauce, stay in touch with them and get them to make presentations for incoming students and anybody else who will listen.” | <urn:uuid:a13660c9-90cd-4955-8924-9044cdeffcb3> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.udel.edu/udaily/2018/august/summer-scholars-research-service-undergraduates/ | 2022-08-17T14:28:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572908.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817122626-20220817152626-00602.warc.gz | en | 0.974986 | 2,852 |
You’ve heard it before, but it bears repeating: A business is only as successful as the sales leads that it generates.
The new year, then, is a good time for your company to reevaluate its all-important sales lead engine – continue to develop and utilize the tactics that work, scrap the ones that don’t, and implement new, timely strategies to drive up leads.
In the ever-changing B2B marketing world, new tips and tricks for generating sales leads surface each year. Here are four of the most promising for 2016:
Don’t Just Sell. Entertain.
By the year 2025, millennials will constitute 75 percent of the workforce worldwide. What does this mean for your B2B marketing strategy?
It means fewer sales pitches and more entertainment.
Millennials are accustomed to communications that don’t just inform but also entertain. Come at millennial B2B buyers with just cold, hard numbers and bullet points, and you’ll nearly always walk away empty.
Instead of relying on a traditional sales pitch, concentrate on delivering content that engages buyers and interests them on a human level. Stories (which our brains are hard-wired to appreciate), videos, and interactive applications that showcase your company’s personality and its services work best.
It’s ok to create content that addresses what your ideal customer is searching for.
Don’t be Content with Your Existing Content
It’s no secret that content is king, and its throne is getting mightier by the year. Chances are, you’re blogging by now, but are you blogging enough? Perhaps not.
Consider: The software company Hubspot remains one of the web’s fastest growing and most successful online businesses. Its secret: Original content, and lots of it. By encouraging all Hubspot employees to contribute to the company blog, the site frequently ends up with 5 or more new pieces each day.
Among other benefits, blogging regularly forces you to stay up-to-date on industry developments and technologies. It shows your clientele that you are a helpful, trusted resource, which attracts new leads. Allow comments on your blog, and you can communicate directly with your customer base and keep a finger on the pulse of your industry from the buyer’s POV.
Two years ago, AdWeek revealed that B2B companies that blog regularly generate nearly 70 percent more sales leads than non-blogging operations. Increase your output of helpful and original content in 2016, and your sales leads will skyrocket.
So just how much content is enough? According to HubSpot, 15 original blogs translate to 1200 new sales leads a month. That should keep the folks in sales occupied for a while!
So much for the notion of the B2B buyer who shops the market thoroughly and carefully weighs all options before committing. An InsideSales study shows that up to half of buyers simply go with the company that contacts them first.
This is where having a perpetual social media presence is critical. Make yourself available on both the giants and the industry-specific niche platforms so that you can respond immediately to leads.
Be More of a Social Media Socialite than a Seller
While you’re increasing your social media presence, it’s a good time to rethink your social media tactics as well. LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook and YouTube are proven gold mines for sales leads, but not if you waste your face time making blatant sales pitches. Instead, post helpful and/or entertaining info that establishes you as a trusted source with a great personality, and customers will seek you out when they are ready to buy. | <urn:uuid:a2690952-06f2-42fa-b60a-c11afd87f4b6> | CC-MAIN-2023-06 | https://www.revx.agency/4-tips-for-getting-more-b2b-sales-leads-in-2016/ | 2023-02-06T06:06:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-06/segments/1674764500304.90/warc/CC-MAIN-20230206051215-20230206081215-00765.warc.gz | en | 0.935753 | 752 |
What does the board do?
Beats me. No, seriously, I haven't gotten the agenda for next week's meeting yet (it usually goes out a few days before). Most likely, the issues will focus on the policy and direction that POPAI and its chapters will take on all sorts of subjects relevant to the retail, merchandising and point-of-purchase advertising industries. Since POPAI has shown its intent to expand its role in the digital signage industry via its support of our digital signage standards effort and other issues like advocacy and even in-store privacy, I expect to be representing the needs and concerns of our industry in front of the other (far more savvy) members of the panel. Thankfully, I won't be our lone representative. Scala's Jeff Porter has been on the board for several years now, and hopefully the presence of two of us will prove so formidable and overwhelming that the rest of the group will immediately agree with our every initiative.

What kind of things should we talk about?
I'm still collecting and reading through the results of our latest reader poll, which ends on May 31. If you or someone you know hasn't taken the survey yet, please fill out the survey now -- it should take you less than three minutes. While I'll do a full analysis of the results in another few weeks, one thing I can tell you is that cost no longer appears to be the major sticking point for a lot of projects. No, the number one concern of respondents was that digital signage projects require too much interdepartmental communication and sign-off. Still lacking a place in most companies' formal advertising, merchandising, sales and even IT agendas, a lot of us find ourselves having to orchestrate major multidisciplinary efforts to get a project planned, let alone deployed. Whether this means everyone wants to take ownership or (just as frequently) no one does, it's a major problem for a lot of larger deployments. Hopefully this is something that my fellow board members will have some insights on.
But that's just one item I want to bring up, and certainly there are many others. As I mentioned at the start of this post, I know a lot of folks out there can suggest more important (or more pressing) things to call attention to. So, where should I start?
If you could have the marketing execs at companies like Disney, J&J and Walmart answer any question you like, what would your question be?
I'll select the best questions from the list and try to get them answered next week.
PS: As of this writing, POPAI's board of directors page had me listed as being the EVP/Creative Director at Leo Burnett. While that certainly would be a fun change of pace, it's definitely a typo. They should be correcting that shortly. | <urn:uuid:c3a20e2f-22f2-402f-b8a0-0448eabcdc4d> | CC-MAIN-2023-06 | https://www.wirespring.com/30-legacy-blog-digital-signage-insider/721-got-a-question-for-the-head-honchos-at-disney-j-j-or-walmart | 2023-01-31T08:03:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-06/segments/1674764499845.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20230131055533-20230131085533-00743.warc.gz | en | 0.971389 | 585 |

An upstart destination club property trying to carve its unique niche in a developing industry.
A new category of luxury travel that requires extensive education of the buyer on the concept of destination clubs. This upstart company with a very limited number of homes in the system was competing with major companies offering hundreds of destinations. It needed to create the perception of scarcity of membership and exclusivity while also developing a strong brand confidence.
Membership opportunities for a specific number of days of luxury travel with initial locations including Cabo San Lucas, New York City, Lake Tahoe, U.S. Virgin Islands, Scottsdale and Steamboat Springs. From the $150s. | <urn:uuid:dd353a72-c166-4e7c-bf83-bee3e378d839> | CC-MAIN-2019-35 | https://thecottonsolution.com/works/ultimate-resorts/ | 2019-08-18T14:16:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-35/segments/1566027313889.29/warc/CC-MAIN-20190818124516-20190818150516-00197.warc.gz | en | 0.942931 | 134 |

You’d think I’d be nervous, but instead, a rush of excitement flows through me as I traipse the halls of the hospital in my fake scrubs dressed convincingly as a doctor.I look the part.
I always look the part.
My fake ID badge sits proudly where I want it, allowing me to slip in where I need to be. Flashing my badge to the security guards stationed at the door I walk straight in closing it behind me, just as I knew I would.I have to do this.You’d think considering a terrorist attack occurred not so long ago they would be better prepared than this. As long as I look the part, and have the appropriate badge, they’re convinced I am that person.But I’m not. I’m here for one reason and one reason only, and he’s lying here in this hospital room hooked up to the endlessly beeping machines, pumping oxygen and God knows what else in an inane attempt to keep him alive.This man is the sole survivor of the attack. I wasn’t able to bring him down then, so my task is to bring him down now.Sliding the curtain around his bed as I step up to him, the metal rings clink along the railing while my heart races in my chest. Killing is something that comes naturally to me. I’ve done it for so long now it's ingrained in me.I can’t count the number of men I’ve taken out—all in the name of the Seven.
Australian author K E Osborn was born and raised in Adelaide, South Australia. With a background in graphic design and a flair for all things creative, she felt compelled to write the story brewing in her mind.
Writing gives her life purpose. It makes her feel, laugh, cry and get completely enveloped in the characters and their story lines. She feels completely at home when writing and wouldn’t consider doing anything else. | <urn:uuid:b61f4fe0-fe93-4176-aeee-9420248d0de8> | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | http://www.bookwormbelle.com/2016/09/cover-reveal-and-giveaway-deceit-by.html | 2018-10-17T11:49:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-43/segments/1539583511173.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20181017111301-20181017132801-00073.warc.gz | en | 0.958799 | 466 |

This looked to me like the ice was reaching tentatively into the lake to test the water. There isn't much ice along the shore. I don't think we'll see the usual big piles of blue ice this year.

The House Tuesday approved the amended version of HJR-3, the proposed constitutional amendment banning same sex marriage.
The House voted Monday to alter HJR-3, taking out the measure’s controversial second sentence banning civil unions. That version of the amendment passed the House by a comfortable margin Tuesday, 57 to 40.
The change also restarts the ratification process, potentially putting it on the ballot in 2016, instead of this fall.
House Minority Leader Scott Pelath says simply removing the second sentence isn’t enough:
“Fact is, we have not dismantled this bomb,” Pelath said. “We’ve simply placed a longer fuse on it before it detonates in all of our faces.”
Cicero Republican Representative Eric Turner, the measure’s author, says even without the second sentence, HJR-3 is necessary to protect the state’s existing statute defining marriage as between one man and one woman.
“We know from experience that states without constitutional protection run the risk of a state court changing the will of the people, the will of the legislature,” Turner said.
The amended version of HJR-3 now heads to the Senate, where the second sentence could be reinserted. | <urn:uuid:340ac44a-c3fc-4a87-94d0-c4f9998550ce> | CC-MAIN-2017-09 | http://wboi.org/post/indiana-house-passes-amended-hjr-3 | 2017-02-27T18:08:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-09/segments/1487501173405.40/warc/CC-MAIN-20170219104613-00493-ip-10-171-10-108.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.915383 | 263 |

Mrs. Young holds a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Human Development and Family Studies from the University of Utah, with areas of emphasis in Gerontology and Educational Psychology. She was a first-generation student, enrolling in college for the first time in her mid-thirties. At 36, she was a scholarship athlete at Westminster College in Salt Lake City, earning the awards of both team Defensive MVP and All-Conference Defensive player as goalkeeper on the Women’s Lacrosse team. Mrs. Young graduated with distinction, including memberships in several university and national honors societies.
A native of Utah, Marti Young is a longtime mountain sports and outdoor enthusiast. The Youngs are avid skiers, hikers and mountain bikers. Marti has been a competitor in a range of sports throughout her life, including gymnastics, court sports, and rodeo, to name a few. She ran her first full marathon on her 40th birthday and has run in several events since then.
Marti and Mike live with their son, four (and sometimes five) dogs, and four horses at their farm in Brazos County.
Arriving in College Station from Moscow, I was a bit lost. I had my husband and children, but my friends were far away and my language skills made it difficult for me to make new friends. Joining the TAMU Women’s Club opened doors for me. In the TAMU Women’s Club you can find something for everyone no matter what their age, profession or country of origin. The different interest groups provide opportunities to learn new things and meet new people.
My new friends have given me wonderful travel ideas and exposed me to the arts in the area. Through the special programs and interest groups I have come to understand and love the culture and traditions of Texas and the U.S. The many new friends I have made have helped me polish my English skills and develop self-confidence. I especially enjoy the Arts and Culture Group because of my love of music and painting. Ladies in the Arts and Culture group were a big stimulus for me to open my own gallery in town, where I show art from around the world and organize classes for young and old.
The coming year I will serve as the President of TAMU Women’s Club. I hope to meet you at one of our Women’s Club events!
As a Native Texan and having lived in Houston all my life, I spent the majority of my working life in the oil and gas industry, with accounting as my background. I have volunteered at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo as well as making a commitment as an HOA board member in several communities that I lived in.
In 2014, the stars aligned and I met a wonderful man that took my breath away. After we married, I was somewhat apprehensive about starting the next chapter of my life in a new town, but as a former student and someone who has worked at A&M for over 35 years, my husband introduced me to the Aggie network and its core values. He told me to check out the TAMU Women’s Club, so that I could meet new friends. My first venture into the Women’s Club was to join the Wednesday Night Book Club, where we meet at different restaurants to discuss that month’s book, which is voted on by the book club members. That first night, I met another member of the Women’s Club, someone who had a lot of similar interests as me, and we have been great friends ever since! Just find that one friend, and together you can discover all the shopping, eating, fun places this town has to offer.
My husband and I are proud owners of three dogs, one of them is Maggie, a King Charles Cavalier, who is a certified Visitation dog thru APWAP (Aggieland Pets With A Purpose). We visit Senior Living Centers as well as many of the local schools. Thru the Women’s Club, I’ve become involved with the Anderson Food Pantry, Meals on Wheels, Monday morning book club, the Garden Club, and the Shanghai Card group. Oh, and I’m now the group leader of the Wednesday Night Book Club. Give me a shout!
My husband & I moved from Bellaire, TX to College Station in the fall of 2014. I heard about the TAMU Women’s Club and joined in late 2015. I then served as president for the 2016-2017 year & as parliamentarian from 2017-2018. I am very excited about being the first vice president/programs officer this year, working with Sangita, Nancy, Dary & the rest of the board. Joining the TAMU Women’s Club was very helpful in my transition in CS since soon after arriving, I lost my 13-year-old dog & became an empty-nester. Through the TAMU WC, I met many new people & participated in many fun activities. I learned so much about running an organization & the Bryan/College Station area.
I grew up in Troy, New York (about 150 miles north of NYC on the Hudson River) & met my husband, Val, at the end of our senior year at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI). After marrying in 1982, we traveled from NY to Texas, to Chicago, to Durham, NC, to Los Alamos, NM, to Ann Arbor, MI, & then to Bellaire, TX for school & work. I definitely much prefer the warm weather of Texas compared to the cloudy, cold days of the northern states. I am a physician in a family practice clinic in Magnolia, TX. Our two daughters were born at Duke University, NC. Kelsey went through middle & high school in Bellaire while Emily spent elementary through high school In Bellaire. Kelsey is a certified social worker living in Denver with her husband & Emily is finishing her first year as a computer engineer at Walmart Technologies in Plano.
Now that we are empty nesters, besides work, Val & I enjoy long-distance bicycling, going out to restaurants & visiting our two daughters & son-in-law. I also enjoy gardening & being an active member of the Unitarian Universalis Church of Brazos Valley (UUCBV).
Bryan, College Station, and Texas A&M were vastly different when I arrived in 1978 to take an Extension specialist position with Texas A&M’s AgriLife Extension Service. The grandchild of immigrants from Finland, I’m a Minnesota native and graduate of the University of Minnesota. I’ve kept my family’s Minnesota property where I love the summer and fall weather, even with mosquitoes! My former husband and I lived 3+ years in Paraguay where we served as Peace Corps Volunteers. We moved to Bryan after attending graduate school at Kansas State University.
I recently retired as Professor & Extension Specialist and TAMUS Regents’ Fellow. I joined the TAMU Women’s Club to be in touch both with people I know and new people I would enjoy meeting and working with. I admire the multi-faceted organization the Club has become and am impressed by the success of its scholarship fund-raising. I might have joined much earlier but was (and still am) heavily involved a variety of volunteer and professional activities. I serve as a bilingual TaxAide volunteer in the free tax assistance program at the Clara Mounce Library in Bryan, teach two financial education workshops for newly accepted Habitat families, and am on Habitat’s Circle of Women steering committee that raises funds to build one house annually. Currently I serve as treasurer for the Bryan-College Station Sister Cities group and am the Extension Service Club’s treasurer, too. I served 25 years on the Board of Directors of FedStar Credit Union. In the past, I have served as president of several professional associations, including one international organization. Both the professional and volunteer work has led to a variety of international development opportunities, the latest of which have been in Honduras and Rwanda, as well as to recent speaking engagements in Finland and Japan.
There will be much to celebrate in this 100th year of the Texas A&M Women’s Club!
Mom, wife, sister, friend, software engineer and dreamer – I am whomever I set my mind to be, and you, too, can enjoy that experience with the help of the TAMU Women’s Club.
Originally from India, I am now a U.S. citizen and have lived in Texas for over 20 years. For more than 16 of those years I worked at TAMU. I joined the Women’s Club because I saw it as an opportunity to serve the community and make new friends. I enjoy challenging and pushing myself to do new things and this club and all its activities has encouraged me to do just that.
The TAMU Women’s Club is a great place to network and make new friends both on a personal and professional level. The club's events and activities promote an appreciation of local arts and business as well as helping one become aware of the many volunteer opportunities in the area. Come, be all you dream of being with the help of the TAMU Women’s Club!
I was born and educated in St. Petersburg, Russia, but when I started working, I wasn’t too keen on getting locked up in an office building. I wanted to see the world and continue my education, and graduate studies at Texas A&M University offered that chance.
I am currently a graduate research assistant at TAMU working on a wide spectrum of civil and mining engineering problems. I got lucky to get invited to join the Texas A&M University Women’s Club as a way to get involved with a supportive, diverse community of women at the University.
I enjoy playing tennis, I try to play every day even in the summer time! I am fond of hiking, kayaking, and dancing. College Station is an ideal place to work and enjoy life.
My goal as a Vice-President -Membership of the Texas A&M University Women’s Club is to showcase the amazing work that the club is doing for all members. You are welcome to join the Texas A&M University Women’s Club, a warm and friendly organization that will help you meet new people and settle in. There are members from different cultures, from all over the world, who can share their cultures and help new members to learn about Texas and Texas A&M University.
Ultimately, if we can create a stronger sense of family amongst all our club members, I would be happy. Come and join our professional family!
While anticipating the arrival of my firstborn, I joined the TAMU Women’s club in an effort to make new mom friends in the BCS area.
While I am originally from Memphis, TN, my husband grew up in Central Texas and graduated from TAMU in 2000. They say “all Aggies come home,” and that is just what my husband did — came home to College Station shortly after we were married.
Prior to moving, I worked as the marketing director at a Chick-fil-A franchise in the suburbs of Memphis for over 10 years. I also have served as a trainer for Chick-fil-A in the opening of new franchises around the country. After moving to the B/CS area, I worked as an orthodontic assistant and marketing director for Andrews Orthodontics until June 2017 when my husband Michael and I welcomed our son, Caleb to the world. While working for Dr. Andrews, I had the privilege of helping start the Smile Heroes Foundation, which provides orthodontic care for children in need.
Joining the TAMU women’s club has greatly helped me meet new people and be more involved in our community. I am involved in the Moms and Tots group and look forward to becoming even more active in the coming year!
I learned about the TAMU Women's club after being approached by a member while we were out shopping. It was 2015, shortly after my husband (an Aggie) and I moved to College Station, and I was pregnant with our second child. No doubt, I slipped into speaking Japanese, pleading with my 3 yr old to behave, when the member (also Japanese) approached me. I'm so glad she did, because it turns out I had a lot in common with other Moms in the area, and our kids birthdays were only 3 days apart. And she introduced me to Moms and Tots group. It was a great way to meet other moms and for my daughter to play with her new friends. We continued to enjoyed the group after my second daughter was born as well.
My professional background focuses on video and digital media. My experience spans from editing news and videos for Fortune 100 companies, to working behind the scenes doing production on American reality TV shows, working video coverage of live concerts (ask me about Coldplay and Beyonce!), to organizing a 500+ audience TEDx events. I currently work at TAMU College of Engineering and TEES as a Web Designer.
I moved to College Station with family in 2016 when my husband joined the faculty team in the Department of Oceanography at TAMU. Thanks to an email sent to new employees, I learned about the TAMU Women’s Club. The Moms and Tots interest group helped me and my toddler son make friends and get to know the area in no time. Later on I joined the Community Outreach and Social Justice (COSJ) interest group and have been volunteering in a team of ladies for the local Meals on Wheels, delivering meals to elderlies in the area. After co-chairing the COSJ group and helping with group communications for a year, I joined the board of the Women’s Club as the External Communications Officer in 2018 and will continue serving at the same position in the upcoming year.
I enjoy reading books, cooking (and of course tasting) delicious food, watching movies, traveling, and I am always open to expand my interests. TAMU Women’s Club happens to be the very place for my explorations, with its fascinating programs and interest groups. The Club connects me to wonderful women in the community from all over the world and helps me define myself besides family responsibility and career endeavor. Come and join us at the TAMU Women’s Club, make new friends, get to know the area, try things you have not done before, find meaningful ways to help others, and more!
I am a Former Aggie who returned to College Station as a faculty member at the College of Medicine. Research, teaching, and other responsibilities take up much of my time. BUT, everyone needs to have a life outside of work and so I was happy to have found the TAMU Women’s Club where I have met so many wonderful women from all walks of life.
Born in Korea I grew up in Deer Park, TX and received my undergraduate degree from TAMU. My studies took me away from Aggieland to California, Ohio, and I just recently moved back here from Minnesota. My circle of friends has grown as I have met so many great people through the club. In addition to my outdoor hobbies of running, triathlons, hiking and gardening I belong to Newcomers, the Contemporary Book Club, Bottles and Bites, and the Community Outreach and Social Justice group and try to participate in as many events as I can.
Make a little time for yourself to make new friends, expose yourself to new challenges, and relax with the great ladies in the TAMU Women’s Club. I have found the Women’s Club to be a great organization to meet other people, learn new things, possibly see parts of B/CS I’m not familiar with, and to get more involved with the community.
I am a graduate of the University of Mines (Saint Petersburg, Russia) with a Bachelor’s Degree in Geology and a PhD in Hydrogeology. After my graduation and for the last 12 years, I worked for a mining company. My responsibility was in the mining design area where I moved from being an engineer-hydrogeologist to heading the department's principal project manager. I came to College Station from Saint Petersburg, Russia in August 2018 to join the Geotechnical Engineering Division of Texas A&M University as a research assistant and a PhD student.
If you “friend” me on Facebook you will see that I am fond of traveling! I have visited many places in Europe and now I’m slowly but surely discovering the United States.
I am honored to be in the presence of so many who believe that as a united womanhood, we can make good things happen in our community. I am very excited and inspired to meet ladies from all over, share ideas, and learn that the challenges and rewards of being a WOMAN are felt by others. The TAMU Women’s Club has no national or international affiliations, and we welcome any women to our local community. We are a group of like-minded women which will allow you the freedom to just be yourself.
From Oil City, PA to Okinawa, Japan to College Station, Texas (and many homes in between as our family moved where the US Marine Corps sent us!) – my life has given me many opportunities to meet and socialize with women from all different backgrounds, ages, professions, and origins. As an Army veteran, wife, mother and Girl Scout leader, I know how important it is to have a group of friends with whom to share life’s ups and downs.
When I arrived in College Station in 2008, I was lonely. A friend recommended joining the TAMU Women’s Club as a way to meet people, since I was new to the area and did not know anyone. The club’s programs and interest groups were a good way to meet interesting women and learn about this community and TAMU. Since I now work full time at the Academic Success Center on campus, and manage a family of one A&M College student (the other graduated last December) and a husband who also works at A&M, the time I have for interest groups is limited. Currently I belong to the Tuesday evening book group. Someday, when I retire, I hope to participate in the Twisted Stitchers, Arts&Culture and the Garden Interest Group.
If you are new to this community and want to meet dynamic, intelligent, and interesting people then I urge you to join the TAMU Women’s Club.
Proud Former TAMU student (class of ’77) and first-time grandma, I moved back to B/CS in November 2013 with my husband after living on the East Coast since our college years. Originally from San Antonio, I have always loved the warmth and comradery of Aggieland. The TAMU Women’s Club exemplifies that with its welcoming attitude towards everyone.
While living on the East Coast, I was involved with many activities at our church, at Ft. Detrick and at our sons' schools. I love helping others and I guess that is why I enjoy delivering Meals on Wheels for the TAMU Women’s Club. My former employment also allowed me to help others. I worked for IMA World Health as an International Accountant. IMA is a faith based world health nonprofit organization, with the mission to build healthier communities by collaborating with key partners to serve vulnerable people around the world. The countries that I managed were Tanzania and South Sudan, Africa.
The interest groups such as the Couples Gourmet and the Community Outreach and Social Justice keep me motivated and busy learning new things and helping others. They also help me hone my gardening and cooking skills. I also serve as chair for the TAMU Women’s Club Scholarship Committee. TAMU Women’s Club currently are funding 5 scholarships to students from the Bryan College Station area with the plan to raise additional funds to fund a sixth scholarship or increase the funding to the current scholarships. If you are interested in helping on this committee please give me a call.
I am currently on the Friends of the Library Board for the Bryan College Station Libraries and also serve as Secretary. My husband and I attend St. Thomas Episcopal Church in College Station. If you are new to TAMU, join the Women’s Club; it is a great way to meet others who are associated with TAMU! | <urn:uuid:39cd2b20-0d20-4519-889c-71618390e910> | CC-MAIN-2020-24 | http://www.tamuwomensclub.org/index.php/contact-us/ | 2020-06-05T07:29:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-24/segments/1590348493151.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20200605045722-20200605075722-00528.warc.gz | en | 0.974271 | 4,287 |
Following up on their exclusive reporting about the closure of the federal jail in Manhattan where Jeffrey Epstein killed himself, reporters Michael Balsamo and Michael Sisak used source work and determined negotiations to get rare, exclusive access inside the facility, reporting first-hand about the structural mess and squalid conditions.
The AP pair has virtually owned coverage of the Federal Bureau of Prisons. AP's exclusive reporting has exposed massive staffing shortages, a superspreader event, lax coronavirus regulations, problems with wardens, escapes and the impending closure.
Still, they wanted more. Previous requests had been denied, but Balsamo and Sisak relied on years of deep source work and weeks of negotiations with the Justice Department and the BOP, finally winning access inside the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan and the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, where a majority of the inmates will be moved.
Balsamo, AP’s lead Justice Department reporter who was the first journalist to cover the resumption of federal executions, came away from MCC with details like: “One cell is off-limits because the door is now unstable — likely because of the constant pounding over the years from the prisoners inside on the cinder block walls.”
New York-based law enforcement reporter Sisak also reviewed hundreds of pages of court documents and judicial orders that detailed the conditions inmates had faced and how judges believed that conditions at MCC were so harsh that defendants should receive time off their sentences. And he researched the history of the building, pulling old advertisements and announcements to show how it was touted as a new kind of jail when it opened in the 1970s but has now become what authorities never wanted it to be.
The result was a vividly written and reported exclusive unmatched by any other news agency. The story was picked up by New York media and news outlets across the country. | <urn:uuid:f69ca86c-7591-4028-ab31-73efc07e3daf> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://leads.ap.org/best-of-the-week/ap-access-to-notorious-federal-jail | 2021-10-24T03:49:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585837.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20211024015104-20211024045104-00165.warc.gz | en | 0.963393 | 379 |

PLEASE CALL OR E-MAIL.
Lujan de Cuyo, Mendoza, Argentina
Hacienda del Plata Cabernet Sauvignon Arriero Reserve is our latest red wine discovery from Argentina. Hacienda del Plata is the story of an Andean ranch born in the 18th century on the north bank of the Mendoza River and the history of the Gonzalez-Pinto family still making wines in balance with the environment of this special place in Mendoza. We find this a true red wine gem! Organically grown; only 346 cases produced.
Hacienda del Plata Cabernet Sauvignon Arriero Reserve is a deep garnet in color. The nose is vibrant with red fruit, violets, earth and spices.

Aged 80% for 12 months in French and American oak barrels and for another year in bottle, the wine has a silky structure with a long, rich finish.
Enjoy Hacienda del Plata Cabernet Sauvignon Arriero Reserve over the next 8-10 years with grilled lamb chops, steak, roast beef, beef empanadas and sharp cheeses.

On the opposite side of the flooring spectrum, is strong and durable hardwood flooring. Hardwood flooring has been popular year after year for a number of good reasons. Some Daytona Beach flooring homeowners say it is because hardwood is easy to maintain and cleaning up spills and messes is so simple. Other people gravitate towards hardwood because of its visual appeal. Hardwood flooring is the perfect complement to every room in the house, whether it is a room filled with vibrant colors, or one with more neutral tones.
Hopefully these fun facts about carpet and hardwood have piqued your interest enough to get you motivated to begin you hunt for flooring. Dayton Beach homeowners should visit the David Waller Interiors showroom in Port Orange to learn more about hardwood flooring, carpet or many other kinds of flooring. | <urn:uuid:249360d7-1e86-4395-9721-9be6c381379c> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | http://www.davidwaller.com/blog/beautiful-daytona-beach-flooring | 2019-05-23T11:02:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232257243.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20190523103802-20190523125802-00099.warc.gz | en | 0.938126 | 171 |
Reno 750 Building
Project of the Year Finalist and Best Project
OWNER: Applied Insights NV LLC
LEAD DESIGN FIRM: Rehkamp Larson Architects Inc.
GENERAL CONTRACTOR: Schommer & Sons
CIVIL ENGINEER: Lumos & Associates
STRUCTURAL ENGINEER: TM Rippey Consulting Engineers
MEP ENGINEER: PAE Engineers
Design revisions, unexpected structural issues and supply delays made for a challenging historic restoration for the team on the 750 Reno project. Flexibility and out-of-the-box thinking became necessary to keep the project moving forward. The scope of work consisted of a full renovation and seismic upgrades to a five-story building that would become the corporate headquarters for a health care company. Originally built in 1917, the building has served numerous purposes over the last 100 years and was once part of a meat-packing complex. Immediately prior to the renovation, the building had sat vacant for several years. The needs of the building’s users changed several times during construction, requiring designers to plan for flexible spaces to serve several possible uses.
The existing structure was a structural steel frame encased in concrete (for fireproofing purposes) with a three-wythe-thick brick curtain wall system, while cast-in-place concrete decks serve as the floor and roof structure. Renovations included a complete restoration of the brick exterior, installation of seismic upgrades and a new roof and replacement of all windows and doors.

The build-out of the interior spaces featured installation of new MEP systems, LV and AV technology systems, interior walls and finishes. Sitework included all new utility connections, installation of parking and drive aisles and new drought resistant landscaping.
The designers preserved as many historic elements as possible, including exposed brick walls, wear marks in the concrete floors and an Olympia Beer mural on the exterior facade from the 1950s, when the building was a beer and spirits warehouse. During build-out, crews discovered that a section of floor on the building’s second level was no longer structurally sound. The team immediately implemented safety measures and worked with the structural engineer to develop a repair plan within days.

Seismic upgrades to the main stair tower required a unique approach. When the building was first constructed, the stair tower was exposed to the elements. Sometime in the 1970s, the stair tower walls were infilled with unreinforced concrete masonry units, which required significant structural upgrades. Due to the limited space in the stair tower, any structural bracing had to be added to the exterior of the building, so the resultant wall assembly is the inverse of a standard wall assembly—CMU infill walls, metal studs with helifix anchors securing the CMU to the studs, rigid insulation with a weather resistant barrier and a corrugated metal rainscreen.
To work around COVID-19 supply chain disruptions, the team ordered some materials in advance and resequenced some construction tasks so the project could stay on pace. | <urn:uuid:8eb6831b-7228-48d4-b1c2-96b187617971> | CC-MAIN-2023-14 | https://www.enr.com/articles/52815-best-renovation-restoration-project-of-the-year-finalist-reno-750-building | 2023-03-26T12:44:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-14/segments/1679296945472.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20230326111045-20230326141045-00455.warc.gz | en | 0.94741 | 644 |

Thursday Erin and I had to drive over to Oakland for a Baby scan and to get the results to some blood work that Erin had done a week ago. They were screening for Down Syndrome and another disease I have never heard of. Everything went very well and the baby and Erin are both healthy! You can make out the shape of the baby now. I am so excited and cannot wait to be a father!

While looking through my collection of code snippets, test apps etc. I came across a very basic calendar app I built for a client a year or so ago. It makes use of ColdFusion for nitty gritty bits, like cycling through months/years, and jQuery / jQuery UI to display “event” info that can be dynamically displayed on a given date. The example code uses hardcoded event info but applying dynamic content from a database or object is quite easy and straight forward. All in all I figured why not share my bits on it.
The code was based on, and still more or less in tact to the original, sample code from Bobby Hartsfield’s tutorial at easycfm.com - A Basic Calendar Application to Build on?. I wanted to give credit and could not find the source for the life of me. Lo and behold I had it bookmarked the entire time haha. The original publish was back in 2003 so it’s dated anymore; but his example was spot on to what I needed at the time and damn simple to modify. Bobby breaks down and documents the base of the code extremely well in the original tutorial so I won’t be a broken record.
Here is an example of the calendar:
And an example of displaying content details on the calendar in a jQuery UI modal:
The source code and all of it’s goodness can be found over on my GitHub. This was actually my first experince using GitHub so that was pretty cool. | <urn:uuid:d6c6ddd4-f8a7-41ad-a205-fbd56b7d3bdc> | CC-MAIN-2017-39 | http://tonyjunkes.com/blog/quick-and-simple-calendar-in-coldfusion/ | 2017-09-23T01:58:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-39/segments/1505818689413.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20170923014525-20170923034525-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.92228 | 310 |

70th Birthday Photo Session at The Palazzo Las Vegas
Wilma reached out to me because they were going to be celebrating her mother’s 70th Birthday and was looking to book a birthday photo session for her. With friends and family coming from all over the country to come celebrate with them, it was ideal to have great photos to document this momentous occasion. Especially since she hadn’t seen some of them in 15 years! It sounded like a great event and something I really wanted to help them remember. You just never know when something like this will be able to happen again for them. Nothing beats a big family gathering for a milestone birthday such as this one!
The birthday party was held at The Palazzo, located at 3325 South Las Vegas Boulevard, Las Vegas, Nevada 89109. The Palazzo is a beautiful Hotel and Casino located on the Strip which is currently the tallest finished building in Nevada. There are lots of beautiful locations around the property that are ideal for photos for any occasion. Everything from the neutral colors to the interesting details really makes this a stand out location in which to do some really great photo sessions. We had great weather that day that allowed everyone to be comfortable in their formal wear and provided me with excellent lighting to capture everyone in the best way.
The Shoot: 70th Birthday Photo Session
Wilma’s mother was stunning in a full length off the shoulder deep blue green gown accented with sequins. She definitely didn’t look like your average 70 year old. Her daughters were in dresses that were a matching shade. Taking pictures of her with her siblings, daughters and husband was not only fun but incredibly moving. To see all these people coming together for her in such a way showed how much love this family obviously had for her. Everyone was laughing and having a great time. What better way to celebrate than with a 70th birthday photo session in Las Vegas?
The laughter and smiles continued, and possibly even a few happy tears. When a family hasn’t been reunited like this in 15 years, it’s hard to not get a bit emotional. Reunions are so very special and should be remembered, which was why I was so truly happy to be a part of their day. Who knows if something like this will be able to happen for this family again? I certainly hope they don’t let another 15 years go by before they come together again. They all seemed genuinely happy to be together and it would be a shame to not do so more often. Thank you so much for allowing me to photograph your 70th birthday photo session. | <urn:uuid:325c938e-f6cc-42fc-b25f-4c3134debf87> | CC-MAIN-2019-04 | https://www.ettiphotography.com/70th-birthday-photo-session/ | 2019-01-16T15:17:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-04/segments/1547583657510.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20190116134421-20190116160421-00590.warc.gz | en | 0.982289 | 537 |

COLUMBIA, Md. (WJZ) — A man uses a syringe full of blood to steal thousands of dollars in prescription drugs from a Howard County pharmacy, and it’s not his first attack.
Meghan McCorkell has more on this unusual heist.
That man told the pharmacist that blood was tainted with AIDS and threatened to stick her if she didn’t hand over the prescription pills.
Police say Benjamin Frederick Blessing, 52, walked into the CVS on Centennial Lane in Columbia last month and held a blood-filled syringe he said was contaminated with the AIDS virus to a pharmacist’s chest. He threatened to stab her if she didn’t open a safe containing medication.
The robber got away with $27,000 in prescription pills.
“That’s really bizarre. I guess you don’t need a gun nowadays to hold up something,” Elleda Simmons, a Howard County resident, said.
“Going to CVS, you’d never expect anything like that to happen, especially somewhere so close to home,” Steven James, another Howard County resident, said.
And investigators say CVS wasn’t Blessing’s first hit. Police believe Blessing is also responsible for an attempted robbery in October at a Bank of America involving a mother and a 4-year-old child.
Surveillance images captured the robber approaching the mother and child with what appears to be a taser. He ran when the woman pointed outside and screamed for the police.
Police are now relieved to make an arrest before anyone was hurt.
“It’s not something we’ve ever heard of here– a syringe being used as a weapon or to imply that someone’s going to do harm,” Sherry Llewellyn, spokesperson for the Howard County Police Department, said.
Investigators say they found evidence inside Blessing’s Columbia home, including the prescription drugs stolen from CVS.
He now faces multiple charges including robbery and assault.
Police say they have confirmed blood was inside that syringe. They are testing to see if was indeed contaminated with the AIDS virus.
A judge denied bail for Blessing on Wednesday. | <urn:uuid:56dbd854-aece-401a-b9b0-895cd234504e> | CC-MAIN-2018-13 | http://baltimore.cbslocal.com/2012/05/02/man-charged-with-robbing-pharmacy-with-syringe/ | 2018-03-19T22:35:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-13/segments/1521257647153.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20180319214457-20180319234457-00246.warc.gz | en | 0.947651 | 471 |
My name is Ashley Hickey. I am a Potty Training Specialist and the owner of Successful Potty Training, LLC. Potty training is my passion and I am great at it. I am determined to help families with this necessary life skill. Often, parents will ask “Can my child be potty trained?”. They have tried “everything under the sun”, with no success.
Although I specialize in training children with Autism Spectrum Disorders, I have potty trained hundreds of children of all abilities. I have become an expert in potty training by training children with developmental delays, visual and hearing impairments, Apraxia, Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome, Chromosomal Abnormalities, Muscular Dystrophy, Seizure Disorder, Sensory Processing Disorder, Mowat-Wilson Syndrome and Prader-Willi Syndrome, ranging in age from 2 to 18. Over the last few years, I’ve worked with families throughout the United States, in Connecticut, New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Delaware, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Louisiana, Georgia, South Carolina, Florida, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Texas, California, Colorado, Arizona, Maryland, Virginia, Washington, DC and, internationally, in Canada, Australia, Russia, England and Romania. I frequently travel throughout the United States and beyond to potty train a child. In 2012, I became a faculty member for the Family Sleep Institute. In addition to being a potty training expert, I am a wife and mother of 3 children in Hamden, Connecticut. | <urn:uuid:e1d2cb74-5f02-4e23-9f4a-f224059d9b16> | CC-MAIN-2020-16 | https://www.tinyhood.com/experts/ashleyh | 2020-03-30T23:45:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-16/segments/1585370497309.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20200330212722-20200331002722-00335.warc.gz | en | 0.932604 | 327 |

Belief on the table
primona has been dedicated to producing top-notch and purely natural essence of chicken and honoring the belief of “the ultimate service experience for our customers.” The brand identity of “Foolish Chicken” was created due to the requirement of distribution channels for sale, and the trademark was registered in overseas markets.
Global market management strategy
Because of adjustment of business strategy and market expansion, the original brand identity and design applications were not able to fulfill the need for the next phase of business development. Hence, Process assisted in re-branding for the purpose of future success.
Besides, after the workshop at the stage of Strategy was completed, the brand characters of Foolish Chicken tended to be more high-priced, international and cultivated. However, the interviews with the target audience in overseas markets showed that the existing English name “Foolish Chicken” could not deliver the above message. Hence, the project of English naming was activated.
As distinguished as the sun
In order to expand its brand to the international high-end markets and to highlight the brand’s rarity, it is time to re-define its brand strategy, refine the core values of the brand, re-develop its English name from “Foolish Chicken” to “primona”, and use its unique patented package of “round-shaped chicken essence” as the source of inspiration for its new brand identity design concept, matching with simple and elegant lines to embody the preciousness of the brand. Using the dark cyan and golden colors as the base for the brand identity, the distinguished and exquisite image for the primona is perfectly presented.
2019 iF Design Award, 2019 Netherlands Indigo Design Award (Gold), 2019 Asia Design Prize (Winner), 2018 Korean K-Design Award (Winner), 2018 Taiwan best 10 design, 2018 Asia-Pacific Design (selected)
The aim of the project was to provide the ultimate service experience for their customers, also consider the use of the design and the brand development in the future. The brand identity systems, packaging, store and service flow were carefully designed. We used the “round” design that represents primona’s chicken essence to strengthen the link between the brand identity and products and to express brand as outstanding as the Sun. The process of packaging, carrying and preservation were taken into consideration for the packaging design, making the entire customer experience more smooth and flexible. With a simple, elegant and bright style, the store design allowed customers to focus on the service experience in addition to the products. After this rebranding, primona has become the epoch-making leader among the chicken essence brands.
"It not only brings innovation to the traditional chicken essence gift culture but also consider the future development of the brand, which is a very comprehensive rebranding project."
"Process plays a proper listening role in the process, clarifying the problems we don't know."

31 Jul Barry Kennedy talks to Vincent Wall
Posted at 07:53h in News
Irish Manufacturing Research CEO Barry Kennedy chats with Vincent Wall on Newstalk’s Breakfast Business Show about the landscape of manufacturing in Ireland and what the future looks like.
Barry starts by addressing Vincent’s concerns related to the CSO figures that revealed that just 10 manufacturing companies in Ireland are responsible for over half the manufacturing output by value in the country.
“While it’s a stark statistic, part of the reason is that Ireland is on the international stage with some of the major international manufacturing companies based here in Ireland. However, Ireland do need to figure out ways in which to shift that balance and grow our indigenous manufacturing base and let them get the confidence to grow when they see these other major players and what they can do on the island it shows what the skillset and the talent can do in this country. We need have to ensure we have a more balanced portfolio to stop ourselves from being exposed economically to a major player moving off the island. But we do have a very significant manufacturing base in the country with it accounting for over 35% of our GDP”
Barry also explains how indigenous manufacturing companies can benefit from the larger multinational companies in terms of the supply chain, support, and outsourcing certain jobs.
Vincent also asks Barry about the challenges that the indigenous Irish manufacturers face in terms of the rapid change in manufacturing with the advancement of robotics, automation, and digitisation.
“Not only is there a rapid global pace of change but we also have unprecidented times with Brexit, COVID 19 and climate change which has caused a move around the world away from globalisation and more towards more localalized manufacturing. Examples of this are evident during the COVID 19 pandemic with a company like Mergon flipping production from the car industry to making face shields or Ventac in Blessington flipping production from producing padding soundproofing for the automotive industry to PPE or SteriPack flipping from making parts for electric surgeries to producing surgical face masks”
Barry also illustrates the importance of adopting these emerging technologies like robotics and digitisation into our manufacturing industry if Ireland is to keep progressing but when asked if he is optimistic about the future of indigenous manufacturing here in Ireland he replied:
“Oh I absolutely would, I think we have a very strong manufacturing base here and there are some great examples of where manufacturers have been able to turn on a dime to deal with the challenges they have been faced with recently and we have a very high skilled workforce but we need to nurture it and work better together on the island of Ireland to ensure that our strong base grows” | <urn:uuid:9665336d-8e9e-4793-acdd-16bb94e06da7> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://imr.ie/2020/07/31/barry-kennedy-talks-to-vincent-wall/ | 2021-10-18T04:35:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585196.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20211018031901-20211018061901-00536.warc.gz | en | 0.952452 | 547 |

December on the East Coast doesn't usually have much in the way of yard sales, so you take what you can get, and hope for the best.
Saturday's listings featured a grand total of TWO indoor sales. One promised a Vintage Aluminum Christmas Tree from the 1960s, which I really wanted to take a look at, but the sale didn't start until 10am. The other sale had started the day before, which I had somehow missed. Too much prednisone?
Anyway, not expecting much, we headed to the second sale with plenty of time to get back to the first to check out that tree.
Imagine our surprise when we found the tiny house still PACKED with treasures. And crazy affordable too.
Vintage Christmas ornament clusters! They weren't found in the suitcase, but fit inside nicely for transportation.
These things are huge.
Lots of framed prints and paintings.
Love the details on this print.
Mr. VJIMT scored some paintings.
This frame will be converted to a chalkboard.
This antique print went right into my Etsy shop. Very Botticelli-esque, I think.
Oh, yeah, we found these there too. | <urn:uuid:b5df9067-79b6-44d7-93ea-b895e5f4137d> | CC-MAIN-2016-18 | http://vintagejunkinmytrunk.typepad.com/vintage-junk-in-my-trunk/2012/12/december-on-the-east-coast-doesnt-usually-have-much-in-the-way-of-yard-sales-so-you-take-what-you-can-get-saturdays-listi.html | 2016-04-30T01:25:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-18/segments/1461860111581.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20160428161511-00214-ip-10-239-7-51.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.949162 | 245 |
Bioenergy and biofuels coming online in Florida
Ineos Bio has hailed the first renewable power production at its joint renewable energy project in Florida, US.
The Indian River Bioenergy Centre is currently turning local yard, vegetative and agricultural wastes into advanced biofuels and renewable power. The facility was a joint venture with development company New Plant Energy.
The facility is expected to generate 6MW of renewable power annually, with a net export of renewable electricity to power up to 1,400 nearby homes. Ineos also expects the start of bioethanol production before the end of 2012 and hopes to produce around 8 million gallons of advanced cellulosic bioethanol at full capacity.
‘The power generated improves the energy efficiency and greenhouse gas savings of the facility while contributing to the base load of renewable electricity for the local community,’ says Ineos Bio CEO Peter Williams. ‘We also look forward to rolling out our technology globally to provide the benefits of bioethanol and renewable power from waste to local communities.’
Williams adds that the facility is the first large-scale project in the US to receive registrations from the EPA for a facility using non-food vegetative waste materials to produce cellulosic ethanol.
The Centre employs 60 full-time members of staff. | <urn:uuid:2002dd6a-9bd2-4f78-a6c6-4eec2af2090e> | CC-MAIN-2021-21 | https://www.bioenergy-news.com/news/bioenergy-and-biofuels-coming-online-in-florida/ | 2021-05-07T19:34:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-21/segments/1620243988802.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20210507181103-20210507211103-00222.warc.gz | en | 0.922009 | 266 |
A plan to offer down payment assistance to first time home buyers in the City of Bishop is in the works.
At a recent Bishop City Council Study Session, before the regular meeting, Pam Hennarty with Mammoth Lakes Housing, briefed the City Council on the possibility of loaning potential home buyers who work in the City of Bishop up to $200,000 to purchase a home.
The way it would work is that the City would apply for a federal grant that is administered by the state. Mammoth Lakes Housing staff would then administer the money for the city, and then loan the money to people who make 80% of the area median income, or $47,000 for a family of four.
If a house cost $300,000, the home buyer would get a regular 30 year fixed rate loan from a bank for what they could afford and Mammoth Housing would then lend the rest of the money to buy the house, but without interest. When the home buyer pays off the regular bank loan in 30 years, then they start to pay off Mammoth Lakes Housing loan.
Hennarty explained that over the last three and a half years, Mammoth Housing has loaned out $3.5 million dollars to fifty home buyers in Mammoth and Mono County. With strict lending guidelines, so far no one has defaulted on the loans, she says.
The program is already at work in Mammoth and Mono County. Inyo County has rejected the program. The Bishop City Council appeared interested and may schedule a public hearing on this topic for the May 11th council meeting. | <urn:uuid:44e1e9a9-1368-4f1a-8944-898e435d9b16> | CC-MAIN-2017-39 | http://www.sierrawave.net/first-time-home-buyer-help-for-bishop/ | 2017-09-26T12:48:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-39/segments/1505818695726.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20170926122822-20170926142822-00372.warc.gz | en | 0.971107 | 323 |

By Aurélie Marrier d’Unienville, IFRC
In her crumbling mud-built home in the village of Chichongole, Mozambique, Maria Mabunda slowly stirs a meagre red paste at the bottom of her smoke-blackened cooking pot. It’s not much for a family of seven, but after two years of failed rains, it’s all they can manage.
She picks up a second pot of charred roots, known here as Tivha, and carries the two pots outside to a small straw structure where her children and grandchildren are assembled, taking shelter from the scorching heat.
An unprecedented drought in this part of the country, attributed partly to the El Niño climate phenomenon, has destroyed crops, killed livestock, dried up wells and left villagers, like Maria, struggling to survive.
Before the drought, maize, pumpkin and other fruits flourished here. Now she must make do with the tomatoes that have been rejected by a local landowner, and the Tivha roots, which lack nutritional value and taste terrible. The Tivha roots can also cause chronic indigestion.
“There is nothing else,” said Maria. “So we eat this every day.”
Maria’s children should be in school, but for months now they haven’t been able to attend. Their days are now filled with a never-ending search for food. Each morning, they wake up at 3am and begin the two-hour trek to a nearby river where they dig for Tivha roots out of the mud on the riverbed.
It’s a gruelling routine, especially on an empty stomach.
According to the local community leader, Araúja Mabunda, the drought has led to the deaths of thirteen people in the community this year, mostly the very young and the elderly, and those who were already suffering from chronic illnesses.
“We’ve never been in such a critical situation before… this year there’s not been a drop of rain and last year it only rained once,” said Araúja. “Sometimes we look up into the sky with a cup and we ask god to give us strength to be able to overcome this situation.”
He said the villagers had started tying fabric tightly around their stomachs in a desperate attempt to lessen the pain of hunger.
The Red Cross has been helping communities across southern and central Mozambique to cope with the drought situation and increase their resilience to future crises and climate-related disasters, with a combination of cash support, distribution of food and drought resistant seeds to help improve the local farming produce.
“As drought situations have longer term humanitarian consequences, the idea is to provide support that will also strengthen the people’s ability to prepare for and withstand potential crises,” said Marla Dava, programme coordinator for the Mozambique Red Cross Society.
With rains expected in October, Maria Mabunda hopes that she will be able to grow food again for her family. Now she and her fellow villagers are counting down the days and praying for rain.
“Sometimes we can’t even leave the house, such is the hunger,” said Maria. “Seeing my children suffer like this makes me cry.”
In May 2016, the IFRC launched a 110 million Swiss franc initiative to significantly scale-up Red Cross drought response activities in southern Africa, including emergency distributions of cash and efforts to strengthen the resilience of 1 million vulnerable people, with an emphasis on supporting at-risk communities to better withstand future challenges. | <urn:uuid:c7ed71a4-fcae-4b5d-848c-2e3f3dff7780> | CC-MAIN-2020-16 | https://media.ifrc.org/ifrc/2016/10/05/mozambique-surviving-on-indigestible-roots/ | 2020-03-31T08:07:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-16/segments/1585370500331.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20200331053639-20200331083639-00113.warc.gz | en | 0.946302 | 753 |
By Andrew Barrett – “How can you tell if you’re lying to yourself?” this crime thriller begins, and it’s a good question. Middle-aged protagonist Becky, a librarian and the first-person narrator of the story, and her husband Chris, a police investigator in the north of England, appear to have been lying to themselves for some time.
In Andrew Barrett’s telling, Becky and Chris have been planning a crime, if not a perfect crime, one they think they can pull off, that will allow them to escape to a well-heeled retirement somewhere warm. To accomplish this, Chris will sell a stolen list of police informants to a notorious crime boss, appropriately named Savage. The high likelihood such a scheme could go wrong in any number of ways hasn’t prevented their planning from proceeding apace. That is, until Becky arrives home one day and finds Chris dead on the living room floor and a team of gangsters ransacking their house.
The gangsters want the informants list, Becky’s tears suggest she wants her husband back, and her best friend Sienna is there to help. Becky learns that Chris received half of his £2 million payoff up-front, but where’s the money now? And where’s the list? If Becky doesn’t find one or the other—from her point of view, preferably both—she is promised a gruesome death.
This is one of those “things can’t get any worse, can they?” stories, in which they always do, and author Barrett provides it with a loudly ticking clock. Becky has one week to find the goods or be torn about by trucks, in a technologically advanced version of that classic British punishment for treason, drawing and quartering, though without the drawing part or, perhaps in a concession to modern sensibilities, the disembowelment.
Becky is an unusual character. Though she understandably works hard to meet the criminal’s demands, her behavior is erratic. She cries often, and she’s foul-mouthed and profane in a way not generally associated with librarianhood. (Read more about convincing female investigators here.)
If you like crime novels of the fast-paced, page-turner variety, you may want to join Barrett’s many fans. He’s a Yorkshire Crime Scene Investigator, who’s written almost a dozen previous novels in two series featuring CSIs. The End of Lies is a standalone and his first psychological thriller. | <urn:uuid:924658de-d607-450b-b4cc-59edaee23a67> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://vweisfeld.com/?p=7024 | 2018-05-23T22:19:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794865830.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20180523215608-20180523235608-00191.warc.gz | en | 0.946023 | 529 |

Leah Schnelbach is an editor and writer with feet planted firmly in both the literary and the genre world. She edits for No Tokens, a literary magazine “run entirely by women and non-binary individuals, dedicated to featuring the words and artwork of all voices of the past, present, and future.” She also works at Tor.com, one of the most popular sites for science fiction and fantasy and reads for the innovative fantasy magazine Fairy Tale Review. We talked to Schnelbach about how editing informs writing, the literary/genre divide, and the importance of diversity in publishing.
In addition to editing, you write fiction and nonfiction. How does your editing inform your writing?
Hopefully makes it better? Reading for No Tokens and Fairy Tale Review forces me to think carefully before I send anything out. I see so many amazing stories each submission period that it makes me ask myself: why am I writing this story? If I’m going to send this to an editor, how can I make it worth their time? And maybe most important right now, I’ve been applying that same need for urgency to my novel edits. I tend to overwrite, so I’m working to shear down to the vital parts of my book.
You are a fiction editor at the literary magazine No Tokens and a staff writer and editor for the genre magazine Tor.com. Do you feel that there is still a divide between genre fiction and literary fiction in publishing?
I’ve been at Tor.com for five years now, and even in that time there has been so much more crossover than when I started that I tend to think the divide is effectively over. Sarah Lawrence College (my MFA alma mater) has a dedicated speculative fiction track now. Tor.com reviews books by Toni Morrison, Jonathan Lethem, Colson Whitehead, and Donna Tartt. There will certainly still be hardcore SFF fans who turn their noses up at some lit fic, and there are some lit fic people who view SFF as childish, but I think most people accept that they’re all just genres, and—I know this is crazy—people are allowed to read across those genres. Like, even in the same day.
What’s one thing that literary fiction writers could learn from genre writers, and vice versa?
I read widely in literary fiction, science fiction, fantasy, and horror. Sometimes in genre there’s so much emphasis on plot or tone that characters are too flat. This is where I love someone like Victor LaValle: The Changeling and The Ballad of Black Tom are both horror. Straight up, blood-curdling horror. But they work because you care about the people the horror is happening to. Same thing with Grady Hendrix, whose stuff is maybe a little more “pop” than LaValle’s—if you read Horrorstör it looks like a gag. It’s a novel about a haunted IKEA-type store, and it’s designed to look like a parody of an IKEA catalogue. But he makes you care about the two main characters, so in the beginning, when the book is a comedy, it’s all the funnier because these absurd situations are happening to people you have an investment in, and then when things turn bad (and believe me, they turn really, really bad) you’re rooting for them to make it out of the haunting alive. The horror actually means something. Also, in both of those cases LaValle and Hendrix are using horror to interrogate race and class, and they’re really good about balancing the social commentary with the fun of exploring and subverting genre tropes.
In literary fiction, writers (and I’m very much including myself here) could learn more about structure from genre books. Sometimes I read work where there are long fallow patches, or so much emphasis on tone or giving the reader beautiful sentences, that you lose the urgency. It’s what I’m trying to work on in my own stuff—why should people keep reading? Have I done enough here to hook my reader that they want to turn the page? If they’re getting off the train now, will they want to jump back into the book on their commute home? Can I make them spend their lunch—if they get one—reading my book while they eat? One book I keep thinking of is Lincoln in the Bardo, where George Saunders goes all over the map, and squishes in all these digressions about history, the food being served at Abraham Lincoln’s party, newspaper clippings about the Civil War, long backstories for each of the ghosts—but through it all there’s this engine that Lincoln’s child, Willy, refuses to move on to the afterlife. If the boy can’t let go of his life he’ll be trapped in a horrifying purgatory forever. If Abraham Lincoln can’t let his son go he won’t be able to win the Civil War and reunite the country. So there are two huge, cosmic problems at the heart of the book, and Saunders checks in with them often enough that you never lose track of the stakes, even while he’s hopping through the lives and consciousnesses of a dozen other people.
How did No Tokens start? And what makes the magazine unique?
Our EIC, T. Kira Madden, noticed that even though tokens haven’t been used on the NYC subway system in years, the turnstiles still specifically say “No Tokens” on them. She started thinking about objects that used to be used everyday that have become obsolete—typewriters, rotary phones, calligraphy, physical mail. It became an underpinning of the journal, this idea of honoring beautiful material things that have been left by the wayside while we all rush to adopt new tech.
But at the same time, thinking about the term “no tokens” lead into some long discussions about the double meaning of tokens and tokenism. Most of the editors have been active in various lit scenes, and most of us attended MFA programs, so we would attend panels and readings, and what we were seeing was a preponderance of white men. Now, please understand, some of my favorite writers are white men (I love David Foster Wallace, and I came to him on my own, with nary a recommendation from a dude), but the more we talked about it, we were all tired of having our experiences mediated by white men, and receiving workshop syllabi that were one white guy writer after another. We were tired of going to panels where the weight of “diversity in publishing” would fall on the one black author, or female author, or Chinese-Hawaiian author that the organizers had invited. We were tired of reading interviews where male authors only recommended other male authors, and where white male editors only published people who reflected their own life experience back to them. So from the first meeting we had, we all agreed that we wanted to publish people who could show us different corners of life. We read our submissions blind, but we’ve been very proactive in encouraging people from all different backgrounds to submit to us, which has lead to the delightful experience that when we meet up and discuss the work that we’ve loved, it’s always a truly diverse group.
I’d like to break the word diverse apart for a second, because I worry that a lot of people use it in the same way that tokenism used to be used:
First, stylistically: The editors of No Tokens are not a monolith. We all have very different backgrounds, reading tastes, and writing styles. We get work from all around the world, from MFA graduates and from people who have never taken a writing class. Every single piece is read and treated with care, and since the editors all have oceans of respect for each other, when we bring a piece to a meeting, we listen to each other. If someone loves a piece, it goes in. We’ve published fables from the Syrian writer Osama Alomar, a brutal memoir about growing up in Florida from Brittany Ackerman, an experimental nonfiction piece about queer love from Beasa Dukes. We got a flash fiction about a sentient yam from Henry Giardina, and our editor Justine Champine loved it so much she illustrated it for the issue. We’ve published photo-essays, comics, a couple of plays. We’ve published a series of text messages as an art piece. Coming-of-age stories, and stories about elderly farmers. And those are just the ones I thought of as I read your question! We work very hard to reflect the world, and I think this has created a cycle where people see that variety in each issue, and they know they can trust us with their work. At least that’s my hope.
Second, culturally: Our masthead is culturally diverse, it’s made up entirely of women and non-binary people, we’re from a range of class backgrounds, religious backgrounds, and we all grew up in different regions. I’m white, Irish primarily, and I spent my youth in Pittsburgh and Central Florida—so that’s me. But if we get a story that uses Gullah, for instance, I’m going to do my best with it, I’m going to do as much research as I need to so I can edit it well, to make sure I’m helping the author tell their story without imposing my own cultural background on it. And hopefully that story acts as a pebble so someone who wants to write their Creole story or their poor white Missouri story or their Turkish story or their Tagalog story will see it and know that we’ll handle their words with respect, so that pebble turns into a landslide of stories that reflect our entire world, and not just, y’know, Park Slope.
But then, if the Park Slope story is good we want that one, too.
What kind of submissions or pitches excite you the most?
For Tor.com, anytime someone writes to me with something I don’t already know about, or with a unique angle, I’ll be excited to get it onto the site. Gabrielle Bellot, for instance, wrote a beautiful piece on a Moebius comic that I’d never heard of before, and made me want to read it! I love being introduced to work that has inspired people, and shaped them as writers or people. I love finding out why someone loves something.
For No Tokens there’s no one type of submission I’m looking for (although, if you can make me laugh, I’ll go to bat for you in our meetings). I just want to be immersed in a world, or language, and I want to be sad to leave it when I finish the story.
What’s the biggest mistake you see writers make in submissions or pitches?
I can’t speak for all of Tor.com, but I do think that sometimes people will try to jump on a trend or a news story when we’re usually more interested in the heartfelt story or the weird angle. Send us your weird shit!
For No Tokens and Fairy Tale Review, I’d say just try to sit on the submission for a few days after you think it’s done, and read it over again before you send. If you have a writing buddy or a workshop group, ask them to lend you their eyes. The more care you’ve taken with your submission, we’ll be able to see that. Also, we do occasionally get weird misogynistic ravings at NT, and it would be nice if that stopped? But that might just be life on the internet at this point. The weird misogynistic ravings we will always have with us. | <urn:uuid:903f8540-517e-48a4-8fda-03f2e2432bef> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://authorsguild.org/news/qa-with-an-editor-leah-schnelbach/ | 2023-12-01T02:51:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100264.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20231201021234-20231201051234-00765.warc.gz | en | 0.960949 | 2,527 |

We were open to suggestions on what to grow for the bees in the early days. One of my most revered beekeeping teachers told me how much bees love mustard. I added mustard to our wildflower mix and watched in amazement as the field quickly bloomed in bursts of yellow, and as the weeks passed, the yellow took over the entire area as I watched in awe. I walked away with two lessons: ask more questions about how a crop grows and how that crop will impact the flavor of the ensuing honey.
Mustard is beautiful
to grow but almost invasive, making for some lousy-tasting honey.
When most people think of mustard, they think of the bright-yellow mustard usually squeezed on top of hotdogs at the
Today is National Mustard Day, and why not celebrate with some of our favorite dishes inspired by the overlooked condiment?
In the purest form, mustard is made by grinding mustard seeds into a powder. The powder activates with water. What creates mustard we know today is a variety of mustard seeds mixed with liquid. We suggest taking your favorite mustard and mixing in a little of our Eastern Shore Honey to create that perfect honey mustard. Think honey and mustard for an excellent condiment. Or these recipes use whatever mustard you like! Although, we do recommend expanding your flavor profile and avoiding processed plain yellow mustard. A nice Dijon Mustard or Spicy Brown tailors these recipes to your unique taste.
We created a whole meal, from the appetizer to the main course, using mustard in some new fun ways!
Starting the night, make this yummy pretzel bites with a honey mustard dipping sauce. Perfect as finger food and great for dinner parties with kids!
Next, dress up a salad with this simple lemon honey vinaigrette. Mix your favorite greens, salad toppings, and whatever vegetables are in season. This dressing works well with fresh fruit too!
Always remember a vegetable side! These roasted carrots taste just as delicious as they look. Heirloom carrots also bring your dinner party up to the next level.
For the main course, this juicy honey mustard chicken is sure to please everyone’s tastebuds. Baking a whole chicken is easier than it sounds and perfect for when you have lots of guests!

The internet is an insidious and seductive mistress. It lures you in with promises of knowledge, fun, connection, and entertainment. All the while it is slowly and deceptively spinning a web of control. Then suddenly, one day, we wake up to realize that we are mere shells of our former selves addicted to the little rush that comes when a notification hits our screen.
Upon the recommendation of a friend I recently watched a docu-drama on Netflix called Social Dilemma. This was powerful life altering information. Much of it I kind of knew but had chosen to ignore. After all, I am in control of myself and my internet/social media usage, right? Maybe not as in control as I once thought.
I generally don’t care for docu-drama type shows. But the acted out parts of this really helped give a visual picture to the concepts being presented. It allowed me to see myself in most all of the situations and I began to realize how information is given, manipulated for monetary gain, and how we are the commodity.
The people being interviewed all worked for one of the big tech companies, many in the infancy of social media. What they have to say is informative, frightening, and yet empowering to us, the products being bought and sold.
Solution To The Dilemma
Of course, my first instinct is throw out everything and live off grid where no one can spy on me. A typical knee jerk reaction and not at all logical. So, I set about doing the next best thing. Evaluate, Extract, and Eliminate. I had to have a plan for using my online resources while doing what I can to not succumb to its power over my brain.
I know many who read this are going to think, I don’t have a problem. I know what they are doing and I don’t care. Or, this is all a big conspiracy theory and this woman is nuts. You are certainly entitled. I do ask that you watch the program and then judge for yourself. I thought I was an educated user of the internet and the myriad of apps that clutter my phone and iPad. I now know better. There is more I can, and am doing.
Google, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter are all pimps and we are the whores. Let that settle in for today. Tomorrow I will share how I am dealing with this in my life and why it is going to have a huge impact of my mental health, creative, social and family life.
Until then…go watch Social Dilemma and meet me back here tomorrow. | <urn:uuid:f7ccb06d-9523-42d4-a814-03ca8971a851> | CC-MAIN-2021-17 | https://sherylmakesalife.com/2020/09/15/k-i-s-s-day-two/ | 2021-04-16T13:58:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-17/segments/1618038066981.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20210416130611-20210416160611-00327.warc.gz | en | 0.967446 | 537 |

5 ways to begin winter weather whining season
The National Weather Service predicts high temperatures below freezing through at least Friday, possibly through next week. This can mean only one thing: Winter weather whining season is upon us.
1. First thing in the morning, call up your smartphones weather app and take a screenshot of the temperature. Then post it to social media with the caption "SERIOUSLY?!" Doing this is highly creative and very original. You will be the first one to do it. Ever.
2. Talk about the weather as much as possible in the office. Mercilessly quiz anyone who has recently been outside to see if Des Moines is suddenly tropical in November. This ongoing dialog is critical to understanding how likely it is you face the threat of being mildly uncomfortable when you walk from your heated office to your heated car and drive to your heated home.
3. If you're an allergy sufferer, rejoice. All vegetation is officially dead for the season.
4. If you're a cold sufferer, prepare for the cold that starts about now and lasts until allergy season restarts in the spring.
5. Make a joke about how this cold streak proves global warming isn't real. It's the kind of clever and politically relevant humor that has launched the careers of thousands of professional comedians.
