Monetary policy publications – Inflation Reports
In 1998, the Czech National Bank switched to direct inflation targeting. In the inflation targeting regime, the central bank’s communication with the public plays a significant role. One of the core elements of this communication is the publishing of quarterly Inflation Reports.
The forecast for inflation at the “monetary policy horizon” (about 12–18 months ahead) is of greatest relevance to the decision-making on the current interest rate settings. Section II of the Inflation Report describes the forecast for the Czech economy as drawn up by the CNB’s Monetary Department. Section III describes and assesses economic and monetary developments in the previous quarter, which represent the starting conditions for the forecast.
The inflation forecast and the assumptions underlying it are published with the aim of making monetary policy as transparent, comprehensible, predictable and therefore credible as possible. The Czech National Bank is convinced that credible monetary policy effectively influences inflation expectations and minimises the costs of maintaining price stability. Maintaining price stability is the Czech National Bank’s primary objective.
The forecast is the key, but not the only, input to the Bank Board’s decision-making. At its meetings during the quarter, the Bank Board discusses the current forecast and the balance of risks and uncertainties surrounding it. The arrival of new information since the forecast was drawn up and the possibility of asymmetric assessment of the risks of the forecast and divergent views of some board members on the development of the external environment or the linkages between the various indicators within the Czech economy mean that the Bank Board’s final decision need not correspond to the message of the forecast. Information on the Bank Board’s discussions and on the reasons for its monetary policy measures is given in the minutes of the Bank Board meetings.

The rich get richer. It’s one of those old mantras that’s tough to really calculate. After all, didn’t everyone’s 401k tank in the last few years? Don’t rising gas prices suck equally for everyone? Yes and no. This infographic by NPR/Planet Money’s Lam Vo breaks down “How The Poor, Middle Class And The Rich Spend Their Money.” And its clear graphical presentation of social spending is enlightening.
You see that we all spend about the same (proportional) amount on housing, clothing and entertainment. But where the rich spend proportionally more is in education and saving for retirement (3x more than the poor in education and about 6x more in retirement). It’s percentages that the rich can make up because they have more overall income to spend on the bare necessities of food (even though they eat out more), utilities, transportation and healthcare.
So the next generation, the kids of these families, have different outcomes, too. Their parents have either prepared for retirement, or may need help. Their parents have either invested a lot in their education, or may have left them with debts from school. And then, when you realize that not only are the rich spending larger percentages of their incomes on these future investments, but that the gross dollar amount of each percentage is even larger because their base income is so much larger. The end numbers, even if they’re not pictured here, are worlds different. That matters because these investments are precisely those that track with the earning prospects of future generations–and thus, the well-off do fine, while everyone else falls behind because they inherit less money and get less higher education.
It just goes to show that, if our priorities are setting up solid futures for the low and middle class, then we either need to free up some percentages in those big ticket unavoidables–the housing, utilities and transportation–or find a better means to support retirement and education elsewhere. Because despite what our middle school gym teachers told us, there’s just no way to give 110%.

2 Reasons To Apply For The Disability Tax Credit Today
Applying for the Disability Tax Credit is a complex, drawn out process. Assuming an application is successful upon first submission, 120 days can go by before a successful candidate receives his or her first financial installment from government. Should an application (known as the Disability Tax Credit certificate or T2201 form) be rejected, the applicant must reapply or file an appeal, which means the wait time for financial benefits is extended.
It is easy to see why a person living with a disability hopes to gain financial support quickly. Medical expenses and cost of living seem to be getting higher by the day. The good news is that you can begin applying for the Disability Tax Credit today. In fact, there are two reasons why it is important to apply for government benefits as soon as possible.
Why Apply for the Disability Tax Credit Today?
1. Qualifying for the Disability Tax Credit is a requirement for anyone who wants to set up a Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP). With the annual contribution deadline around the corner (December 31, 2014), now is a good time to apply for the Disability Tax Credit so you can enroll in RDSP.
2. In addition, tax season will be here before we know it. If Canada Revenue Agency accepts your Disability Tax Credit certificate, you can apply the tax break to 2015 income tax forms.
Quickly Approaching Deadline for RDSP
After qualifying for the Disability Tax Credit, you can begin planning for the future with RDSP. This is a savings program established by government intended to help Canadians with disabilities save significant amounts of money. With bonds and grants, government matches some of the money you and the people who support you contribute to the fund.
A person is eligible for this savings plan if he or she has been awarded the Disability Tax Credit, is under the age of 60, and has a Social Insurance number. Anybody can contribute to your RDSP account, but the deadline to receive government matching options ends at the turn of each year.
Disability Tax Credit applications can be submitted any time. If you are owed retroactive payments from government, which can amount in up to $40,000, you may begin receiving installments in less than 120 days. However, the long-term benefits of the Disability Tax Creditare great too. Annual savings are available when a person with disability (or a supporting person) applies the Disability Tax Credit amount to income tax forms. Beginning the application process today may help you reap substantial benefits early next year.
Why Not Apply Today?
People put off applying for disability benefits for a number of reasons, but now that you know some of the time-sensitive benefits of applying for the Disability Tax Credit, can you think of a good reason to not begin the application process today?
If something is holding you back from applying for this life-changing benefit, there are people who want to assist you. First time applicants, persons who have been denied the Disability Tax Credit before, and those whose tax benefits have expired may want to reach out to professional benefit specialists for assistance. With the help of Benefit Specialists, it is possible to fill out forms right the first time.
The National Benefit Authority helps people with disabilities apply for Disability Tax Credits and receive the full amount of money they are entitled to from government.
With time-sensitive benefits on the line, there is no time to waste. Contact the most trusted name in disability support by phone or online today. Benefit Specialists at the National Benefit Authority can be reached at 1888-389-0080.

I Have Chronic Fatigue. This Is The Diet I Followed To Get My Energy Back
In 2013, I went from being a vibrant, independent person to fully bedridden in a matter of weeks due to a severe case of chronic fatigue, Lyme disease, and endless bacterial infections. I had my master’s degree in nutrition and remember clearly spending countless hours during my graduate program shadowing an alternative-medicine physician who created customized diets for the sick. From the beginning I was blessed with knowing how to change my diet to gain energy and keep up my well-being. Many days I lacked an appetite and had to force myself to eat, which is never fun, but my diet played a pivotal role in my four-year recovery. Most of my food philosophy was rooted in the teachings of Dr. Henry G. Bieler, a prominent physician known for using food to treat diseases.
Before changing your diet, especially if you have a chronic illness, I highly recommend speaking to your health-care professional. This is how I changed my diet after listening to my body and talking to many, many doctors.
How having chronic fatigue & lyme disease changed my diet
Before getting sick, I rarely touched red meat. I simply didn’t like it, plus red meat is generally considered a food that people should try and limit. Well, let me tell you, when my digestion system literally shut down, things had to change. The uber-healthy diet that I worked so hard to curate and refine went by the wayside while I tried to figure out what worked for my digestion.
So, for me, red meat—specifically lamb—became a staple in my diet since it’s easy to digest and is protein-rich. Lean poultry and fish, which I previously consumed in favor of red meat, became a no-go because they simply didn’t agree with me anymore. Listening to my body was key when making changes to accommodate for my illness.
What else changed? I had to give up my beloved vegan protein powder. Being severely intolerant to gluten and dairy and moderately intolerant to soy before getting sick, eggs became a primary protein staple. Anything raw and fibrous such as salads had to go. Nuts, seeds, and beans also became problematic because they are tough on the digestive system. Sunflower seed butter became my best friend—almond butter, unfortunately, was harder for me to handle, and peanut butter was totally out of the question. Both almond and peanut butter agitated my system too much.
I had to swap a great deal of my healthy essentials in favor of foods that were easy for my body to digest and absorb. Here's what that looks like in a typical day:
- Whole eggs with cooked broccoli or spinach in olive oil
- A piece of fruit
- Sunflower seed butter (shameless from the spoon!)
Lunch & dinner
- Cooked ground lamb
- Vegetable soup
The lamb was thoroughly drained of excess fat. And the vegetable soup was simply celery, carrots, parsley, and green beans boiled in water. This was not very exciting, but it was the best thing for me and my digestive tract. Vegetables such as onion, garlic, tomatoes, zucchini, kale, and more were all out of the question.
A food formula for feeling good.
Most days, my diet consists of a protein at every meal, along with cooked vegetables, plant-based fats, and very small amounts of carbohydrates. Since all of my food was unprocessed without any added sodium, I did heavily salt all my food using sea salt. If I forgot, my blood pressure would plummet dangerously low—this too was part of my illness. Consuming salt helps keep it at normal levels.
With chronic illness and food intolerance, what you want and what you can tolerate are not always in agreement. The above diet won’t work for everyone, but learning to listen to your body and ensuring you have a nutrient-rich diet with sufficient amounts of protein is essential for recovering from Lyme, chronic fatigue, or any chronic illness.
Have Lyme, or know someone who does? Here's the regimen that helped one woman when nothing else could. If you're tired all the time, here are 10 signs it could be chronic fatigue.

Well, if you could see me now, you would see me reaching way up and over my shoulder to pat myself on the back! I have caught up Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday's challenges for 365 Cards! I tried to get to the MMSC #12, but I will just wait for #13!
At 365 Cards, Sunday was Super Sketch Sunday. Here is the sketch, followed by my card. As you can see, I flipped the sketch onto it's side. Paper is Karen Foster, Stamp is Dog Gone Stamps. Sentiment is Stampabilities.
Monday's challenge at 365 Cards was an Ad-inspired challenge. Here is the inspiration photo, followed by my card. DP is Scrapbook Walls, Stamps are The Angel Company.
Tuesday's challenge at 365 Cards was "Imagine This: Sunflowers". We were to make a sunflower inspired card. The card need not have a sunflower on it anyplace, but must be inspired by sunflowers. My BOX follows! I decided to make a Pizza box!
DP is Paper Perspectives, Stamp is Hero Arts, Used Ranger Crackle Medium on Sunflower on top of box, and used Stampin' Up Ribbon.
I'm off to try to catch up on some of my 'blurfing'. I need to see what YOU have been up to!
Blessings and hugs to you all.

[Note: This post was pre-written on Wednesday, following a particularly egregious replay debacle double-whammy that of course resulted in a loss. If more replay-related shenanigans occur in the interim, or there are further developments, it may seem silly in retrospect.]
Replay in MLB was fairly exciting when it was announced, but I’m not actually sure it’s proven to be a net positive. For every good part of “hey, this bad call was overturned,” there seems to be a couple of bad parts, with one being, “hey, this bad call wasn’t overturned,” and the other being, “it’s unclear why replay exists if it isn’t going to be dedicated to getting every call right.” Maybe those are really the same thing. Either way, it’s frustrating, and I’m not sure it’s working well.
So, tell us how you’d fix replay. I don’t know anything about other sports or leagues, so don’t just say, “Use the NFL system.” Explain what that is, because I have no idea. How would your ideal replay system work? What would be the disadvantages to it, and how would you ameliorate them? The more detail, the better, as always. | <urn:uuid:54d5e8f0-8eb6-4507-9d5c-0b8063051d2d> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.talkingchop.com/2018/5/18/17359970/fanpost-friday-go-and-fix-replay-atlanta-braves | 2021-10-24T09:01:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585916.29/warc/CC-MAIN-20211024081003-20211024111003-00145.warc.gz | en | 0.967449 | 286 |
There’s been much public debate about whether or not the facilities CBP and ICE use to hold single adults, families, and children who migrated to our country should be called “concentration camps.”
According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, a concentration camp is defined as “a place where large numbers of people, especially political prisoners or members of persecuted minorities, are deliberately imprisoned in a relatively small area with inadequate facilities.”
However, the term “concentration camp” is also strongly associated with the Holocaust in World War II that resulted in the death of 6 million Jews and millions of other people, including Soviets, Romani, Basque, Serb civilians, gay men, and Germans with disabilities.
Recent investigations and news stories have shown how both ICE and CBP detain people in overcrowded facilities and in hazardous conditions without adequate medical care, where children aren’t even getting soap to clean up and are forced to sleep on the floor, and that six children have died in U.S. custody. The government also recently opened Fort Sill to hold migrant children_which is the same place U.S. citizens of Japanese descent were held in World War II.

Tips Tuesday!! Cleaning Pots and Pans
We are still working our way around, spring cleaning the kitchen.
Pots and Pans
To clean copper pots: Fill a spray bottle with vinegar and 3 Tbs salt. Spray on the copper, let stand for a while, then rub clean. Or try toothpaste, Worcestershire sauce or ketchup. Or dip a lemon half in salt and rub.
Clean the outside of cast-iron skillets with a commercial oven cleaner. Let stand for 2 hours. Then remove any accumulated black stains with vinegar and water.
After cleaning cast iron, while the pan is still warm, wipe with a piece of wax paper to prevent rusting. Or when clean, rub a small amount of vegetable oil on the inside to keep it seasoned.
For burnt-on stains, sprinkle pots liberally with baking soda and add just enough water to moisten. let stand for 2 hours then lift the burned food out of the pan.
Remove stains on non-stick cookware by boiling 2 Tbs of baking soda, 1/2 cup vinegar and 1 cup water for 10 minutes. Re-season with salad oil.
To remove lime deposits from the inside of a tea kettle, fill with equal parts white vinegar and water. Boil 10 minutes and let stand overnight. Shake the kettle, pour out contents and rinse. If any residue remains, scrape with a wooden spoon and if necessary, repeat.
Clean your thermos by adding a few tablespoons of baking soda and filling with warm water. Let stand; rinse thoroughly. | <urn:uuid:11cc73d2-ac0d-4b20-b17d-ed81f7ec7653> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://dede-daytoday.blogspot.com/2011/02/tips-tuesday-cleaning-pots-and-pans.html | 2018-06-23T21:53:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267865250.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20180623210406-20180623230406-00386.warc.gz | en | 0.874218 | 330 |

Three men in British Columbia are demanding an investigation into what they claim was a nightmarish case of mistaken identity after they were allegedly beaten by RCMP officers and bitten by a police dog in a raid last year.
A senior RCMP officer in the province has apologized for a Nov. 7, 2008, raid on a Surrey apartment building, in which members of the force's emergency response team smashed in a number of doors, including that of Iranian refugee Emad Hovaizavi.
On Monday, the three men will ask the Commission for Public Complaints Against the RCMP, an independent agency created by Parliament, to examine what happened.
In signed statements, Hovaizavi and two friends with him at the time, Seyedmorteza Ghadiriasli and Mohammed Bosir, said police smashed his front door open and demanded the residents of apartment 206 to come out.
But they were in apartment 205 and told the officers that.
Hovaizavi said with no warning, he felt the crunch of his bones as a police dog bit into his leg and dragged him out of the apartment.
"I was in pure terror. I screamed," Hovaizavi said in his statement. "I did not know what was happening."
The dog took Bosir out of the apartment the same way and also bit Ghadiriasli in the arm, the men said in their statements.
"The phrase that keeps on going through my head is, 'Shoot first and ask questions later,'" said Craig Costantino, the lawyer who represents the men.
Costantino told CBC News that when all three were in the hall, they were surrounded by officers in black masks and bulletproof vests.
He said all three were beaten while they were being subdued in handcuffs.
"They certainly have bruises and abrasions to show it," Costantino said.
Looking for guns
In his statement, Hovaizavi said he was bitten again by the dog, and was told to shut up when he tried to explain to the officers they had the wrong apartment.
He said police eventually told him they were looking for guns. All of the men suffered injuries and Hovaizavi spent the night in hospital. None was charged.
The recent refugee said the incident reawakened experiences he suffered at the hands of security police in Iran.
The RCMP has admitted it had no search warrant for the apartment — only for two other units in the building, 201 and 206. None of the men have criminal records or any previous dealings with the RCMP, according to their complaint.
The men's lawyer said Supt. Wayne Rideout, the operations officer for the Surrey RCMP detachment, has offered his apologies and launched an investigation.
But Costantino said he believes a criminal investigation is warranted, as no explanation of the incident has been provided.
"We aren't content to allow the RCMP to investigate this themselves," he said.
Rideout couldn't be reached for comment, but is expected to speak on another issue on Monday. He has been subpoenaed to testify at the inquiry into the death of Robert Dziekanski, the Polish immigrant who died in 2007 after a confrontation at Vancouver airport with four RCMP officers, in which they discharged a Taser stun gun at him five times. | <urn:uuid:4e2c72be-7ed9-420d-b784-ed4a20e972e7> | CC-MAIN-2014-42 | http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/3-b-c-men-allege-abuse-by-rcmp-in-2008-raid-1.780067?ref=rss | 2014-10-20T09:49:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-42/segments/1413507442420.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20141017005722-00289-ip-10-16-133-185.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.989429 | 677 |
Total noob here, apologies in advance for the dumb question(s) - the first of many, I'm sure. I promise to set up a proper DAW and learn to use my MiniBrute correctly in time. But for now, I just unpackaged it, and I want to quickly run some loops through it to hear what it can do. So...
Quick and dirty, I want to run iKaossilator from my iPhone through the MiniBrute. I was hoping it would be as simple as running a 1/8"-to-1/4" cable from my iPhone headphone jack to the MiniBrute's Audio In, but that doesn't seem to work - no sound whatsoever. I tried the Gate Source set to Audio and to Hold, and I had the Audio In slider up on the MiniBrute.
So, it seems to be a bit more complicated than I thought. Do I need Audio Out coming from the iPhone's lightning connector, vs. the headphone jack? Do I need to be coming into MiniBrute through a different input? What kind of connection do I need to make this work? Again, total noob - please talk slow and use simple words.

First and foremost I would like to thank the Brethren of Gardner Lodge for entrusting me with this level of servant leadership by electing me to the office of Worshipful Master for the year 2020. I am truly honored to be serving our lodge in this capacity. My Grandfather was also a proud Freemason and a Shriner but passed away when I was young. I wish he could be here to share this with me but I know he would be very proud. I am likewise honored to be a part of a brotherhood that focuses on faith, family and helping the community. I hold pride in the efforts of our lodge, which both Edgerton and Wellsville lodges having merged with us over the past years, we continue serving the communities of Gardner, Edgerton, and Wellsville, Kansas.
A little about me before becoming a Mason: I was born and raised in Missouri and moved to Edgerton six years ago with my wife, Amy. We have been blessed with two amazing daughters, Kimber and Mercy. Outside the lodge, I am a Machine Operator by trade. In my free time, I serve the church as a Deacon, enjoy camping, hunting, fishing, and woodwork.
My goals for 2020 are to continue work on the lodge, both physically and organizationally. I plan to hold more outings and activities which include our families to deepen those bonds between us. This will include bringing back family dinners which will be held on the third Thursday of each month. We will also be planning a monthly family activity such as picnics, bowling, game nights, etc. I truly believe that if we strengthen our bonds with one another and our families outside of a stated meeting structure, we will see a strong positive impact on all. I would also like to coordinate more community efforts, both continuing those like the Child Identification program we have a long successful history with as well as finding new beneficial opportunities to impact those around us.
All in all, I aim for Gardner Lodge to experience a very close, enjoyable, and productive 152nd year. I am truly honored and I am always here to assist in any way.
Sincerely and Fraternally,
Worshipful Master, Gardner Lodge No. 65 | <urn:uuid:90e8ddff-908e-408d-9929-4f2409b01d03> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | http://gardnerlodge65.org/worshipful-master/ | 2021-09-28T01:10:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780058589.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20210928002254-20210928032254-00304.warc.gz | en | 0.977317 | 455 |

PEOPLE STATE NEW YORK v. ROBERT LAWHORN (07/01/69)
July 1, 1969
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, RESPONDENT,
ROBERT LAWHORN, APPELLANT
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of conviction of the crime of grand larceny in the first degree, entered in the Tompkins County Clerk's office on December 15, 1967.
Herlihy, J. Gibson, P. J., Herlihy, Staley, Jr., and Cooke, JJ., concur in memorandum by Herlihy, J.; Aulisi, J., not voting.
The appellant was indicted for burglary in the third degree and grand larceny in the first degree on October 9, 1967. The jury acquitted him on the burglary charge. It was admitted by appellant that he was in his car outside a store which was burglarized on the night of August 10, 1967 and that he did drive his car with the stolen goods to a place where the same were removed from his car. The only dispute upon the entire case was whether or not he was a principal in regard to the theft. The appellant's contention that the respondent did not show sufficient corroboration of the accomplice testimony before resting is without merit. There was an eyewitness identification of the car involved in the theft; the defendant was apprehended that evening in his car with the accomplice present and the stolen goods were eventually recovered at the place identified by the accomplice in his testimony. Additionally, the opening statement on behalf of appellant at the trial conceded his presence in the car with the stolen goods at the scene of the crime and that he had driven the accomplice with the merchandise to a friend's house. It was not necessary to directly corroborate the testimony of the accomplice as to what the appellant said during the course of the evening. As to the marshalling of the evidence and the charge of the court as to accomplice testimony, the charge was adequate. It is not necessary that the trial court charge the lesser degrees of a crime when no such request is made and in this case there was no evidence to suport a lesser degree of the crime charged. The court's charge was clear, concise and there were no objections or exceptions. There is, however, one aspect of the charge which requires comment. The court in charging grand larceny in the first degree referred to section 1294 of the former Penal Law and the subdivision thereof which concerns taking property from the person of another in the nighttime, but immediately thereafter the court defined the term "larceny" and then in detail set forth the elements necessary for conviction under the present facts. If there was error, it was corrected by the entire charge so that no prejudice resulted to the defendant. There is another issue not raised by appellant, but which this court considers so that any basis for reversal may be eliminated and thus preclude future collateral attacks on the judgment of conviction. The witness, Elizabeth Small, when testifying as to the accomplice Moody, was not permitted to testify as to certain conversations between the witness and Moody, for the purpose of impeaching his testimony, as to the defendant's participation in the burglary and theft. The defendant's attorney objected and properly excepted. The entire record is so overwhelmingly supportive of the verdict of the jury that the error, if such it be, is not sufficient to warrant a new trial. (See Code Crim. Pro., § 542.) The sentence was not excessive. The fact that other parties to the commission of the crime were given lighter sentences is not controlling.

Scalp Thickness, Retin A, Emu Oil and Hair Growth
It has been demonstrated in several studies that the scalp skin in areas affected by Androgenetic Alopecia is thinner than the scalp skin of areas unaffected by Androgenetic alopecia. This has been confirmed in both via punch bioscopies and ultra-sound measurement. It is also a fact that the skin thins throughout the body in response to aging as a result of a deteriorating collagen, resulting in sagging, loose skin, a type of skin aging that occurs independent of ultraviolet light exposure.
This age related thinning of the dermis also constricts micro-capillary perfusion (circulation) to the scalp and, along with atherosclerosis, is thought to be implicated in senescent thinning, an age related thinning that is visible in most seniors, even those unaffected by Androgenetic Alopecia. It typically manifests as a “see through” appearance of the hair through to the scalp, regardless of an intact hairline.
Most are not familiar with this particular facet of hair loss, and how one can use topical Retin A and Emu Oil to neutralize and reverse this process that contributes to both androgenetic and age induced hair thinning, dermal thinning, and the resultant skin sagging process.
Retin-A's Skin Thickening Functions
Tretinoin’s (Retin-A) primary function in the skin is its ability to maintain existing collagen and stimulate new collagen growth. This is the main reason Retin-A provides so many anti-aging benefits to the skin. Skin topically treated with Retin-A reduces collagenase expression, which is a catabolic enzyme that causes skin inflammation and cross linking after sun exposure. Retin-A promotes collagen production with consistent use because its regulation of proper cell function includes a stimulation of new collagen production. Preventing age related collagen loss, and stimulating new collagen production guarantees thicker, younger looking skin.
Emu Oil’s Skin Thickening Functions
The anti-aging factor for skin in emu oil was established at the Boston University School of Medicine in which pharmaceutical grade Emu Oil was topically applied to depilated mice in a for a two-week-long period in a double-blind study comparison to corn oil. The emu oil produced a 20% increase in DNA synthesis in the mouse skin to which it was applied. Hair follicles were much more robust and the skin thickness had increased. Dr. Michael Holick, MD, Ph.D. who conducted these tests said they also discovered that 80% of telogen resting hair follicles were activated and began growing hair.
The Skin Firming Effect of Emu Oil and Retin A
The increase in DNA synthesis and the resultant collagen stimulation that results from both Emu Oil and Retin-A use maintains the skin's tightness, and confers a "plumping" effect. New cell generation also visibly reduces enlarged pores. These combined properties of both Emu Oil and Retin-A create tighter skin because of its restored thickness and elasticity. Mild and moderately aged skin is firmed with continual use. Sagging skin can be largely prevented from ever occurring in the first place.
Retin-A and Emu Oil Hair Growth Properties
Retin-A reduces the size of sebaceous glands and down-regulates sebum production, an indication of a local anti-androgenic effect.
Retin-A facilitates Rogaine absorption
• As you likely already know, Rogaine, despite being “FDA approved” has a transient and negligible effect on hair growth. Retin-A improves Rogaine absorption by upregulating cell proliferation. This evidently enhances Rogaine absorption into the scalp and into the hair follicles. Despite this apparent property of Retin A on Rogaine absorption, we are not recommending that anyone start Rogaine who hasn’t been using it for quite some time, the primary reason being the acute shedding (effluvium) that occurs upon discontinuation.
• Although there is some evidence that Retin A does enhance the absorption of minoxidil, the hair growth/hair loss prevention claims made for the Minoxidil /Retin A combos are generally grossly exaggerated, often using manipulated photo imagery.
Cautionary issues when using Retin-A for treating MPB
The main problem of applying Retin A to the scalp stem from its established side effects, irritation and skin peeling. This could lead to inflammation, the last thing you need if you have MPB.
Inflammation is an established feature in the pathogenesis of MPB, which shortens the anagen phase of hair, eventually leading to thinning hair.
Despite these effects, we have occasional claims of hair growth for the singular use of Retin A, which would make sense given its skin thickening effects.
Other Retin-A options
If you want to use Retin A as part of a hair loss regimen you could theoretically safely use a combination of Emu Oil and Retin A to offset any Retin A induced inflammation.
Emu oil has established wound healing, anti-inflammatory and hair growth effects. Its anti-inflammatory effects are so pronounced that is has healed both inflammation caused by experimental scalding and croton oil irritation (an extreme irritant) in mammalian models.
It has been recommended by certain dermatologists that Retin A/Emu Oil is the best possible combo to use to prevent facial skin aging, because you get the dual skin thickening benefits of both without the inflammation. If you are tempted to try Retin A on the scalp, you should ideally use it no more than every other night before retiring and follow its application about half hour later with a few drops of Emu Oil. Use Emu Oil on the days/nights you don’t use Retin A.
While Retin A cream requires a prescription in the United States, it is less costly and readily available over the counter in Europe and Latin America and can be legally imported in personal use quantities,(up to 3 months supply). You can call us for a reliable source.

Employees wish their technology experience in the workplace matched the experience of their personal lives.
A global survey of more than 2,800 employees by The Workforce Institute at Kronos Inc. found that workplace technology fails to meet employee expectations.
“Employees from all demographics are beginning to expect — and in many cases demand — workplace technology to be as easy to adopt as their latest consumer applications,” said China Gorman, managing director - America, UNLEASH; advisory board member, The Workforce Institute at Kronos. “Workplace technology needs to be intuitive and easy. No more manuals. No more classes. Adoption as easy as learning the latest online game.”
Workplace Technology Fails to Meet Employee Expectations
- Nearly half of employees (48%) surveyed worldwide wish their workplace technology performed just like their personal technology. Fewer than one in five (18%) do not want their workplace technology and personal technology to function similarly.
- Employees in Mexico are least at ease using their workplace technology: 8% feel their workplace solutions are more user-friendly than their personal technology. The sentiment is similar around the globe, as fewer than a quarter of employees in Germany (24%), the United States (22%), Canada (20%), France (16%), Australia and New Zealand (13%), and the United Kingdom (13%) feel their workplace technology is more user-friendly than their personal technology.
Consumer Apps Far Simpler to Navigate Than Business Processes
- More than half of all employees surveyed worldwide (55%) agree it is easier to search for new movies on Netflix than to check the details of their employee benefits. In the U.S., employees in public safety (58%), education (55%), retail (53%), health care (51%), and manufacturing (49%) all find Netflix simpler.
- It’s not just Netflix that’s simpler. For the U.S. financial sector, 51% of employees said shopping on Amazon to quickly find what they want is easier than asking their manager to take off a sick day, while 53% of contract and field service workers, who often don’t report to a central office, said it’s easier to talk to personal digital assistants such as Alexa, Cortana and Siri than to their manager.
- Just less than half (43%) of logistics and transportation workers feel it’s easier to book a car through Lyft or Uber than to find out how many vacation days they have left.
Poor Technology Damages the Employee Experience
- More than a third of employees surveyed worldwide (35%) feel their job is harder than it should be because of outdated processes and legacy technology. This attitude is most prevalent in Mexico (45%), France (43%) and the U.K. (40%).
- For U.S. industries, employees in state and local government (55%), public safety (53%), and finance (43%) feel most strongly that outdated processes and technology makes their job more difficult. Employees in contract and field services (38%), logistics and transportation (33%), retail and health care (both 30%), and manufacturing (29%) do as well.
- Younger employees in the U.S. are less tolerant of poor workplace technology than older employees. While a fifth (20%) of Boomers (55 and older) think outdated processes and technology make their job harder than it should be, that figure steadily increases for Gen Xers (38-54 — 34%), older Millennials (28-37 — 38%), younger Millennials (21-27 — 40%), and Gen Z (18-20 — 39%).
- A quarter of employees surveyed worldwide (25%) disagree with the notion that their workplace technology makes common activities more complicated by adding extra or unnecessary steps. | <urn:uuid:08f1f466-849d-4c1e-8a9a-ade0fdbf20a8> | CC-MAIN-2019-35 | https://hr-vendor-directory.worldatwork.org/workspan/articles/global-gripe-workers-say-workplace-lags-behind-personal-technology | 2019-08-19T04:32:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-35/segments/1566027314641.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20190819032136-20190819054136-00001.warc.gz | en | 0.948298 | 827 |
Part I. Theory and critical approaches
9. Psychoanalytical criticism
Psychoanalytic theory and the feminist critique
The patrimony psychoanalytic criticism received from Freud has exerted a deep ‘anxiety of influence’ on the feminist critic (Gilbert and Gubar 1979: 45-92; Gallop 1982), primarily because of Freud’s definition of female sexuality and his centring of the male myth of Oedipus, both of which reduce the female to an addendum. Revisionary readings of Freud, particularly those by French feminists influenced by Lacan, both appropriate and retain his powerful influence. Feminist readings of Jung underwent less radical revisions (Lauter and Rupprecht 1985). Even without specific reference to ego-relations and object psychology, the feminist critic, by delineating the struggle of the female in a patriarchially constructed world, finds in the concept of self-actualisation an ally in her attempt at social transformation.
While not denying the existence of the subconscious, feminist psychoanalytic criticism, including the feminist criticism of children’s literature, privileges the concept of social construction in the development of the female. Nancy Chodorow’s The Reproduction of Mothering has been especially influential in its synthesis of psychoanalysis and the sociology of gender where ‘the reproduction of mothering occurs through social structurally induced psychological processes’ and is ‘neither a product of biology nor of intentional role training’ (1978: 7). Here the critic of children’s literature finds a female focus, especially for the mother-daughter relation (Barzilai 1990; Murphy 1990; Natov 1990). The focus on the body-self relations allows the feminist critic to explore unique female experiences that have been neglected in the study of literature. The focus on the social construction of female and male children, especially since the nineteenth-century middle-class self-definition of gender roles and the family, has guided feminists to valuable contextual insights into the history of children’s literature and its readers.
A major issue in feminist criticism is the problematics of the female writer’s precursors which has led Gilbert and Gubar to revise Bloom’s ‘anxiety of influence’ (Bloom 1973) with ‘anxiety of authorship’ by which the female writer questions her claim to be a writer (Gilbert and Gubar 1979: 48-9). It remains to be seen whether the important role of female writers in children’s literature and the status of children’s literature as a field of study might be understood as defences against the pressures of the male-dominated literary and critical tradition. | <urn:uuid:9c95b499-a054-4d9a-8620-500851f2d581> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://schoolbag.info/literature/children/36.html | 2018-11-13T00:25:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039741176.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20181113000225-20181113022225-00429.warc.gz | en | 0.932411 | 553 |

U.S. retail sales – which account for 70% of economic activity – unexpectedly fell 0.4% for the month of January according to the Commerce Department today (Thursday). The decline marks the second straight drop after a 0.1% fall in December.
Auto sales were the major contributor to the miss. Sales of motor vehicles and parts dropped 2.1%, while Americans also spent less on restaurants and clothing. The report also showed soft holiday sales for retailers at the end of last year.
Meanwhile, sales in December were revised from the previously reported 0.2% rise to instead reflect a 0.1% drop. "Core sales" – when you remove automobiles, gasoline, building materials, and food services from the mix – fell 0.3% in December.
Even November's 0.4% gain was revised downward to a 0.3% gain.
Note: Turn market volatility into profits by learning to trade the market's most powerful index. Here's how…
Foul weather is a main cause of the U.S. retail sales decline.
"The weakness we saw in retail sales is unfortunately weather-related and we are clearly seeing that the first quarter growth is slower than we anticipated," chief market strategist for Rockwell Global Capital Peter Cardillo said to Reuters.
Just this week, more than 100 million people from Texas to Georgia, New York, and Massachusetts are being affected by a winter storm the National Weather Service is calling "a historic, catastrophic event."
As of 1:30 p.m. EST today, 6,361 flights have been canceled across the United States, and 4,031 flights have been delayed. Factories are shutting down production, and customers are staying home instead of shopping.
But even though bad weather has a negative impact on U.S. retail sales, it can be a boon for investors.
Yesterday, Money Morning Chief Investment Strategist Keith Fitz-Gerald appeared on FOX Business' "Varney & Co." and disclosed how foul weather can be a good thing for investing:
Today's disappointing U.S. retail sales report made for a lower opening on Wall Street, as the Dow Jones Industrial Average shed over 80 points in early trading before recovering its losses.

It has all the makings of a classic good mystery strangers stranded in a mansion on a remote isle … on a dark and stormy night.
Sequim High Schools newest play, however, has other touches to spice it up, including 10 tiny soldiers that are sitting on the mansions fireplace mantle and begin falling off one by one, and then there were none.
For this years senior class play, the students are performing And Then There Were None, based on the detective fiction novel by famed 20th century author Agatha Christie.
Nearly two dozen cast members fill the roles of the 10 guests and employees director Christy Rutherford decided to double-cast several characters so the different actors can put their own spin on the individuals and bring their own touch to the performances.
The production begins as 10 guests are invited to a stunning mansion on a remote island off Great Britain. Each has a secret, and none are acquainted with the others or the mysterious Mr. U.N. Owen, their unseen host who never appears but accuses each of the guests of murder.
As the group sips after-dinner drinks, they begin to die, one by one, and the boatman who brought them to the island fails to show up to take them home.
The characters are as colorful as the mystery: the nervous housekeeper, the elderly spinster and, of course, the elusive Mr. Owen.
Christies novel, And Then There Were None, is said to be not only her best-selling work but also the best-selling mystery in the world.
The kids have been working hard, Rutherford said. I think people will enjoy this play.

My twinkies love oatmeal, particularly the flavored instant oatmeal sold in individual packages. There is a lot of unnecessary junk in those, however. Oatmeal made from scratch is nice, but I was striving for something with more rounded nutrition. Some kind of whole grain. I did some research and found out that just 1 cup of quinoa has 8 grams of protein and 5 grams of fiber, 0 grams of sugar and only 3 grams of fat.
I’d never cooked quinoa totally from scratch before and wasn’t sure if I could make it work for breakfast. After all the quality they most like about oatmeal is how creamy it is. Quinioa has never been described as creamy. Pleasantly chewy, they say. I have heard of quinioa taboule, quinoa pilaf, and quinoa salad – they compare quinoa to couscous… but I have never heard of creamy quinoa.
You know I love a challenge! This turned out fantastic. I used Bob’s Red Mill Quinoa (it is pre-washed and pre-soaked) and prepared according to the package directions. Delicious! And oddly enough, slightly creamy. hmm. Then I added in some healthful and tasty fruits and veg that I had lying around. I can conceive that just about anything your kids like will mix well into this recipe to change it up. Letting them choose will increase the chances of them trying it and loving it.
NUTS and BOLTS
- 1 cup Quinoa
- 2 cups Cold Water
- Pinch Salt
- 5 oz Dates, Chopped Finely
- 1/2 cup Stonyfield Farm Organic Vanilla Yogurt
- 1 Banana, Mashed
- 5 oz Mashed Sweet Potato or Pumpkin Puree from a Can
WHAT TO DO WITH IT ALL
First, heat 2 cups cold water to a boil, add 1 cup quinoa, bring back to a boil and cover. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for 12 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed.
While the quinoa is cooking, mince your dates (or any other dried fruit) and mash the banana and sweet potato. When the 12 minutes is up, fluff the quinoa with a fork and stir in your dates. Cover and let set for 15 minutes. This was my husbands brilliant idea and it worked so well to rehydrate the dried fruit.
Dump the quinoa/date mixture into a bowl and add 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt (or any flavor you want). Stir well. Add your banana and sweet potato and mix to combine. That’s it! So simple and so good the babies wanted 3 bowlfuls!
Please make this. You’ll love giving a sweet treat to your kids and rest easy in the knowledge that it will power them (or you) through til lunch. Bonus: it reheats like a dream. Just add a splash of milk or soymilk to loosen it back up if it gets thick.
The twinkies LOVED it! Not as fond of it day 2, but they weren’t terribly hungry when I tried. I’ll say 4.5 of 5
The eldest gave it a 3.5 of 5. Not sold, on the texture, but she has texture issues.
My husband and I loved it as well. We will definitely make it again! 5 of 5 | <urn:uuid:dc2bde1b-52d8-4f51-840e-7301ae6266a4> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://munchingmonkeys.com/2011/07/07/breakfast-quinoa/?shared=email&msg=fail | 2019-07-18T07:11:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525524.12/warc/CC-MAIN-20190718063305-20190718085305-00513.warc.gz | en | 0.941748 | 715 |
The Underdog Who Conquered a Sport, Saved a Marriage, and Championed Pit Bulls–One Flying Disc at a Time
by Jim Gorant
The Gift of Pets
Stories only a vet could tell
by Bruce Coston
St. Martin’s Press
John Unger leads his limping, arthritic 19-year-old shepherd mix toward the waters of Lake Superior.
“Come on, Schoep,” Unger calls, whistling, egging the old dog on.
Reaching the lake, Unger hoists Schoep’s 41-pound frame, which has become slighter in recent years, over his shoulders and walks into the waves.
Unger carefully lowers Schoep into the water, keeping his body afloat with his outstretched right arm, allowing him a moment to float weightlessly and painlessly in the waves.
Schoep was once an abused and feral stray, terrified of all men, Unger included. But that was a long time ago. Today, the dog is fast asleep, utterly content, while resting his head on his owner’s shoulder.
This month, a photo of this scene went viral. To date, more than 2 million people have seen it and thousands have offered up donations to help with Schoep’s care.
“I think it captured something special,” Unger said on the phone from his home in Bayfield, Wis.
“People around the world from all walks of life are drawn together by this.”
The image perfectly encapsulates the feeling that many owners share: Dogs are not just pets.
In fact, over half of pet owners — of the 36% of US households that have one or more dogs — call themselves “mommy” or “daddy” when referring to Spot. An overwhelming majority consider dogs an equal member of the family, a recent Kelton Research survey revealed.
This connection is not frivolous. It’s rooted in biology.
According to recent research from a lab in Switzerland, dogs and humans both release the hormone oxytocin while engaging in friendly interaction. Oxytocin — often referred to as a “bonding” or “trust” hormone — is released by mothers during breast feeding and is key to pair-bonding.
Another study out of the United Kingdom shows that dogs experience the same “left gaze bias” that humans — but no other animals — do. When looking at a face, both humans and dogs tend to look left at the right side of the face first. The theory is that the right side of the human face better expresses emotion, which might explain why dogs are so often hyper-attuned to non-verbal cues.
Owners, too, reciprocate this special relationship, says Virginian veterinarian Bruce Coston, author of two memoirs; his latest “The Gift of Pets,” is out now. In his 25 years of practice, he’s seen innumerable instances of the extreme lengths dog owners will go to help their pets, sometimes at the expense of other humans.
In “The Gift of Pets” he tells the story of a dog named Susan, who is suffering from cancer, and the owner desperate to save her. The problem is that the chemotherapy treatments are expensive — and her husband is undergoing cancer therapy at the same time.
“He’s almost gone anyway,” the owner said, referring to her husband, not the dog. “She’s all I’ve got.”
Then there’s the 12-year-old Yorkie with a face only a parent could love. She’s obese, has periodontal disease, which makes her breath reek, and large warts cover her body. Yet, even after a scary cancer diagnosis, they’re hell bent on treating her.
But for all the selfless devotion Coston’s seen on the human side of the relationship, he says that nothing compares to what animals give humans.
“What we receive is more than what we give,” he said. “The thing that astounds me is a dog’s ability to understand us in ways that goes much deeper than we can even know.”
For example, studies have shown that some dogs can be trained to identify bladder cancer in humans from urine samples alone. Dogs have also been trained to sniff out lung and skin cancers.
There are even more subtle — but dramatic — examples of what Coston refers to as the gifts that pets provide.
In addition to oxytocin, a few minutes of stroking a pet dog is also known to release “happy” hormones like serotonin, dopamine and prolactin, and can even reduce harmful stress hormones like cortisol. The result is lowered levels of stress, blood pressure and even cravings for unhealthy carbs.
It doesn’t end there. Heart-attack survivors who have pets have been shown to live longer after surgery than those without. Dogs help calm patients with Alzheimer’s and schizophrenia and are often used as therapy aids in children’s hospitals and retirement homes.
Overall, a pet owner tends to be fitter and healthier than their dog-less counterparts with lower cholesterol levels and fewer minor ailments.
A dog can even save a marriage.
Wallace — a white and brown spotted pit bull — who became a world champion in flying-disc tournaments, not only overcame the stigma attached to pit bulls in general, but also helped mend his owners’ flailing relationship. Wallace’s story is the subject of a new book by Sports Illustrated editor Jim Gorant, out later this month.
Wallace was abandoned as a puppy and taken in by a Minnesota shelter, where Clara and Andrew “Roo” Yori often volunteered.
From the moment he arrived, he was trouble incarnate. He was erratic, a nipper and hyperactive. The shelter deemed him “unadoptable” and discussed putting him down — though Clara and Roo believed it was because of his breed, not his behavior.
“Saving Wallace became a mission,” the book says. Eventually, the couple took in Wallace as a foster, hoping to improve the pup’s behavior.
It was never smooth sailing. Wallace was impossible to calm and required constant stimulation. Eventually, with a friend’s guidance, they channeled his energy into Frisbee catching.
But in the beginning even Roo was unsure about Wallace’s pro flying-disc prospects. A pit bull had never won a major title — and were hardly, if ever, seen in the tournaments.
Still, they pressed on, practicing new tricks every day. He had a determination and a grace that fit the sport perfectly: Roo could throw it under his leg, behind his back, over his head, and Wallace caught it almost every time.
They added jumps and vaults, where a dog uses the human body as a launching pad to grab the disc in the air.
“It was simply Wallace and Roo,” the book says, “and Roo felt that connection, that whole body-and-mind engagement not only with what he was doing, but with Wallace as well.”
Meanwhile, Clara and Roo’s relationship was growing colder. They hit financial straits; Clara’s mother was diagnosed with cancer and she slipped into a deep depression.
The once happy couple found they had little to talk about — except Wallace.
Wallace prospered, racking up titles, and getting better at almost every outing. By 2006, Wallace took top prize at Cynosport, considered the “Olympics of the canine disc world,” and got No. 1 again at the Purina Incredible Dog Challenge the next year.
Despite her depression, Clara devoted herself fully to Wallace, fixing him home-cooked meals because of his allergies and learning massage to deal with muscle atrophy that had developed in his back.
“Wallace always gave us common ground to connect on,” Roo said. “I like to think that we would have figured it out without him, but he definitely helped us through.”
Clara was later diagnosed with hypothyroidism, which can cause symptoms of depression among other things, and since then the marriage has returned to the happy, loving one it once was.
Wallace, now 10, stopped competing in 2009. Now he mainly relaxes on the couch.
“I was inspired by Wallace,” Roo said. “He’s been an reminder that if we go after stuff with everything we have, think of things we would be able to accomplish.”
While Wallace saved a marriage, the 19-year-old shepherd in Lake Superior can do him one better. Whether Schoep knows it or not, he saved his owner’s life.
When Schoep was just 3 years old, John Unger was suffering. A long-term relationship had ended, he doubted his self-worth and contemplated suicide.
On a blistery winter’s day during a walk with Schoep near their home in Milwaukee, Unger found himself compelled to walk to Lake Michigan.
He headed toward the end of a concrete walkway leading out onto the dark, dangerous breakwaters below. He felt the wind whip off the waters and saw the lights in the distance beckoning in the few boaters still out. He prepared to jump.
“It is time,” Unger thought. “I am going to do it.”
But, then, he noticed Schoep.
“He looked at me with this look that I never saw before or have seen since. It was a look of concern, if you want to humanize it, a furrowed brow, a confused look,” Unger recalled.
“Immediately, I knew that I couldn’t go through with it. I couldn’t leave him.”
Unger left the concrete walkway with Schoep following close by. He says that he has not thought about ending his life since.
“Whether you’re hurting physically or mentally, an animal of any kind can relieve of you of that, take you out of that world of pain,” Unger said. “That’s what dogs do for me.” | <urn:uuid:8633fc70-733b-4e3a-84ba-f63139331230> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://nypost.com/2012/08/19/stay-sit-beg-heel-speak-love/ | 2016-10-22T00:16:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988718311.12/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183838-00387-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.975129 | 2,199 |
First of all, I want to tell you that PBP didn’t bring me anything. A lot of people asked me whether I thought the PBP program would work for them too. The answer is quite unilateral: no. There’s no quick fix, no instant solution, and certainly no program that can do this for you. I did all of it myself. It was me who grabbed my bike at 7am and went to the gym multiple times a week. It was me who decided to no longer settle for less and it was me who took control of her own body (and mind! Not to forget). And I’m not going to lie: I’m pretty fucking proud I did.
So what did it do for me? Well, here you go: I’ve always been the sporty type. That girl that always got picked first in gym class. That chick that always wanted to go the extra mile. The one that gets excited by the thought of having another training later that day. I played korfball (Google that ;)) for more than twenty years. I did this with all the passion I had and worked my way up to the point where we were competing on a national level. Our team was pretty freaking good and I loved being part of that. I loved the fact that every day after school and had to go to trainings either indoor or outdoor, I loved the matches we played on both Saturdays and Sundays and couldn’t care less about ‘missing’ out on things like partying till late hours, heavy drinking and school proms (yes, I missed out on my prom because I had something important to do: my team and I had an important match to play and I wouldn’t want to miss out on a single one of them).
Where is this story going?
Well, it’s about the drive, the passion, to do something you really like. Long story short is that I quit playing korfball and left the team after being injured a lot. I tore my ankle ligaments more often than I can count and moved to the other side of the country. I even travelled up and down multiple times a week to make it work, but my other life was catching up and I decided that I wanted to give my 100% best and be there all the time, or to don’t do it at all. I chose the latter.
In the years that passed, I tried many other kinds of sports. I played rugby, enjoyed a few years of kickboxing and tried swimming. Rowing passed, running turned out to be a nice change and ultimately I ended up in a random gym, doing whatever I thought worked. Just like the rest did, apparently. But as you might know by now, I’m not one to do things half-ass. I do them with passion, or I don’t do them at all. And that’s where Personal Body Plan came in.
My PBP journey has not been about achieving what lots of other girls around me seem to achieve: a skinny body. Nothing wrong with having that as a goal, but it wasn’t mine from the beginning. Yes, I wanted to lose weight and tone up, because I was no longer happy with the way I felt about my physical appearance, but what I was really looking for was freedom. Freedom to do the things I never thought I was capable of doing. The freedom to become the healthiest and most active version of myself. The strongest version above all, because I’ve come to realise that the best version I can be is a strong one. Not a hungry one. And no, I’m not afraid of becoming too muscular, and I’m not afraid my shoulders will become bigger than they already are. Both are the result of hard work. Dedication. Passion. This journey has been about regaining my confidence, but also about embracing both my strengths ánd my weaknesses. And that’s what the past few months have been all about for me. About finding that inner pilot flame and turn it in to a jet flame. And that, I’m very thankful for. On to the next three months of PBP.

This month’s registration period closes at the 31st of August at 11.59pm. | <urn:uuid:96d3c23c-03d9-4429-b833-414fa6ff5d3a> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://sixfeetfromtheedge.com/2016/08/pbp-brought-far/ | 2017-11-21T06:30:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806317.75/warc/CC-MAIN-20171121055145-20171121075145-00297.warc.gz | en | 0.9835 | 936 |

Creating a cleaner, greener South Australia
Nearly fifty years ago, it started with one truck and one man’s vision and will to succeed. Today, Integrated Waste Services is at the forefront of the waste management, disposal and recycling industry in Australia and is committed to the continuing pursuit of excellence. The Integrated Waste Services site at Wingfield, SA, consists of the Wingfield Transfer Station, the IWS Head Office and the IWS Recycling Centre.
Mr Pasquale Borrelli arrived in Australia from Italy in 1961 and commenced a one-man, one-truck operation, which has since grown into a multi-million dollar business at the forefront of waste management, recycling and disposal in Australia. Today Integrated Waste Services still reflects the hard working ethos of its humble beginnings with eldest son Joe the CEO and his brother Nic, in charge of Operations, Research and Development, together with over fifty loyal and enthusiastic staff they continue the dream started by one man with a will to succeed and prosper in a new country.
The IWS Northern Balefill is designed and constructed to the highest standards, both meeting and exceeding environmental requirements. It currently provides 30 million cubic metres of potential waste space, however, due to its cellular construction, it can be tailored in size to meet any future requirements for waste disposal.
Disposed of at this site is Baled Waste, Non Friable Asbestos, CCA Treated Timber, Contaminated Waste, Quarantine Waste, Deep Burial. Fully engineered with clay liners, leachate monitoring and in the case of the disposal of low level waste, HDPE liners, the site is designed to protect the environment and the deep aquifer. In addition, by accepting baled waste the landfill does not have a litter, vermin or odour problem that is systemic in other more traditional sites.
Greening the Environment
Although IWS is highly specialised in diverting as much waste from landfill as possible, waste which cannot be recycled is sent to a fully engineered facility designed to protect the environment but still able to provide energy production in the form of landfill gas. The Wingfield Transfer Station is where this waste is compacted and packaged to be sent to landfill.
At the Wingfield site, residual waste is baled and compacting prior to transport in order to maximise loads and reduce trips required. IWS balers are equipped with EnviroBale.
The IWS Northern Balefill is more than a landfill. Strict environmental controls have meant that an overgrazed, heavily mined site is being returned to its natural state. Part of the processes of operating a landfill is to ensure that the surrounding area is re-vegetated and vermin removed. To this end, Integrated Waste Services has implemented a re-vegetation programme, which started many years ago with the collection of seeds from local ora, germinating them and planting the buffer zones with this tube stock. This practice continues today. Once a section of cells are filled and capped, they also will be re-vegetated with the result that they will blend into the environment and provide even more security for the local fauna.
Designed and built to the highest standards

Alas soon again. The new surveillance laws are pretty close to what
they did in the GDR. That is why some people here are talking about
Stasi-2.0 . Our hope is in the Federal Constitutional Court which is
busily correcting these new laws of our parliament.
Stasi = "Ministerium fuer Staatssicherheit" in the former GDR, their
surveilance and citizen control agenecy.
Die Gedanken sind frei. Auschnahme regelt ein Bundeschgesetz.

Why Should You Protect Your Green Card?
To some aspiring Americans, becoming a lawful permanent resident(LPR) is their ultimate goal. Of course, acquiring a green card is a job well done, but I propose: This should only be your starting point.
You should know that there is a huge gap between a LPR and a citizen. The difference is wide, but simply put, you won't have access to what US citizens enjoy exclusively. Your permanent resident status can be lost for several reasons, one of which is spending too much time abroad.
Imagine finally becoming an LPR after the long tiring process, only to have your status revoked: Not for committing a crime; not for falsifying documents – but for staying abroad for too long. It may be harsh, but it'll happen if you do not take the necessary precautions to protect your green card prior to your travel.
How To Protect Your Green Card?
If you’re going to travel outside the U.S., and you know you’ll be spending 6 months or more out of every 12 months, you should protect your green card with one of the two options: Get a Re-entry Permit or Naturalize
A re-entry permit is a simple travel document that USCIS issues to LPRs to allow them to protect their green card even after spending a long time abroad.
If you intend to stay outside the U.S. for more than 1 year and keep your residency status, then you need a re-entry permit. It serves as evidence that you do not intend to abandon your U.S. residence.
However, we recommend applying for a re-entry permit if you intend to (or if it’s possible) that you will spend more than 6 months outside the US. This is because LPRs who return to the U.S. after a 6 month absence are placed in a different legal category than those returning after less than 6 months. That means you can be asked more questions. Your travel history will be scrutinized, and ties to the United States reviewed. And one question you will be asked is, “Did you apply for a re-entry permit?” You want to be able to say yes, you did. Better to have it and not need it than not have it and need it!
That being said, you do not need a re-entry permit for every travel outside the U.S.:
- If you know you won't be spending up to 6 months outside the United States, you don’t need a re-entry permit.
- A re-entry permit won’t help if you’re spending more than 2 years abroad. What you need for trips longer than 2 years is an SB-1 visa (returning resident visa)
Applying For A Re-entry Permit
Here is everything you need to know about applying for a re-entry permit:
- To apply for a re-entry permit, you’ll need to use Form I-131, Application For Travel Document.
- You must file Form I-131 at least 60 days prior to your travel.
- You must be present in the U.S. when you’re applying for a re-entry permit (No, there are no exceptions to this rule.)
- If you do not have a green card (or a conditional green card), you cannot apply. Note: If you’ve applied for a green card but have not yet received it, the Form I-131 cannot be used for a re-entry permit. You may, however, use it for advance parole.
- If you are between the ages of 14-79 years, you’ll need to submit your biometrics at a biometrics services appointment. You must do this in the U.S.
- Once your biometrics have been submitted, you are free to travel, even before receiving the re-entry permit
- A re-entry permit is only valid for 2 years. Once it expires, you'll have to file another.
- Do not forget the filing fee and biometric fee! The fees can be submitted together on one check or money order, but be sure the math is correct!
Getting a re-entry permit does not make you completely immune to suspicions of abandoning your U.S. residence. If Customs and Border Protection(CBP) officials believe that you planned to abandon your U.S. residence, further investigation may be carried out. You can easily avoid this.
By keeping your connections (like tax filings, family ties, U.S. employer, etc.) to the U.S., you will be able to avoid further questioning from the CBP officials. When you tender your re-entry permit and other necessary evidence at the entry point, you will undoubtedly be admitted back into the United States.
The best option, in the long run, is to accrue time to naturalize. Once you're eligible, you should consider filing for Form N-400 (Application for Naturalization).
Asides being a full-fledged U.S. citizen, you get a permanent break from travel restrictions. You’ll be able to go wherever you want, whenever you want, for as long as you want.
Travel restrictions aside, you also get to save money by naturalizing. It costs $540 every 10 years to renew a green card. In contrast, you pay your N-400 fee of $725 only once. (These fees will increase on Oct 2, 2020 – stay tuned to our firm for updates)
You also get the right to vote, sponsor more family members, and usually you can keep your other country’s passport. The United States will only recognize you as a citizen, but will not force you to cancel your other passports. However, some countries (such as Japan, Germany, and India) will revoke your citizenship once you acquire citizenship in the U.S. So be sure to consult with a lawyer in your home country if you want to ensure the ability to retain your home country’s citizenship.
So, if you want to travel without suffering the backlash, you should keep the following in mind:
- Make sure you get a re-entry permit if you’re spending less than 2 years, but more than 1 year abroad.
- Ensure you keep your connections with the United States. Do not under any circumstances, file your taxes as a nonresident (Form 1040NR). However, you may, if you qualify, take the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (FEIE) on IRS Form 2555.
- If you’re spending more than 2 years, then get an SB-1 Visa
- Take your time to naturalize.

Having devoted his career to shocking and outraging American liberals, the late North Carolina Sen. Jesse Helms continues to provoke them from his grave. Progressive journals and blogs are full of Helms horror stories. How he tried to make Illinois Sen. Carol Moseley Braun cry by singing "Dixie" in the Senate elevator. How he won reelection against a black opponent by means of an ad showing the hands of a white man who had allegedly lost a job because of affirmative action. How he never repented of his segregationist past, unlike Strom Thurmond and George Wallace.
All quite true, quite horrifying and quite edifying. As a politician Helms was, by my lights, a monster. But even Grendel had a mother. It's worth taking a break from the horror stories to ponder where Jesse Helms came from -- and to wonder, with a renewed frisson of horror, whether that might be where we are headed.
Where Jesse Helms came from was the Third World, the American South between World War I and the civil rights revolution. In the generation before Helms was born the son of a police chief in 1921, the Southern oligarchy had been terrified by Populism. The greatest threat to the white elite was the revolt of white workers and farmers. To forestall that possibility, the Southern state governments, in the decade before World War I, used literacy tests, poll taxes and other measures to eliminate not only all blacks but half of the white Southern population from the electorate. In the election of 1936, voter turnout in Georgia was 16.1 percent, 13 percent in Mississippi, and only 10.7 percent in South Carolina. (It was higher, 42.7 percent, in Helms' North Carolina, where populists had abolished the poll tax.)
Having crushed the Republican and Populist parties, the oligarchs imposed a one-party dictatorship on the region, with secret state surveillance units and occasional collaboration between the police and the Ku Klux Klan. In its economy, the South was a banana republic, a commodity-exporting resource colony in which a "comprador bourgeoisie" of local landowners and local businessmen collaborated with investors in New York and elsewhere in fleecing the region.
To serve their interests, the old latifundist families and corporate elites hired "Dixie demagogues," who were to genuine populists like William Jennings Bryan what a Disney pirate is to a pirate. All of them were entertaining. Some began as entertainers, like musician-slash-flour miller W. Lee "Pass the Biscuits, Pappy" O'Daniel, who went from hosting the "Hillbilly Flour" radio show to the Texas governor's mansion in 1939. The "Dixie demagogues" denounced various supposed enemies of the white tribe, but with two exceptions -- Huey Long and George Wallace -- they never threatened the rule of the country clubs and courthouse gangs. Jesse Helms was one of these theatrical quasi-populists, an uncomplicated establishment conservative who parlayed a liberal-baiting radio show into a political career. Like other faux-homespun Southern conservatives, he employed rhetorical populism against blacks, homosexuals, liberals, professors, modern artists and "common-ists" in the service of his business backers, most noticeably North Carolina's tobacco industry.
All of this would be of interest to regional historians only, if the South hadn't taken over the Republican Party and if the Republican Party hadn't taken over the United States in the last third of the 20th century. Jesse Helms was an architect of both takeovers. When this Dixie Democrat switched to the Republican Party, he was followed by thousands of others, so that by the end of the 20th century the former Confederacy was the most Republican part of the Union. Helms is also given credit for saving Ronald Reagan's career by helping him win the North Carolina primary and then the Republican nomination for president in 1980. If, as historian Sean Wilentz argues, this is, or until recently was, the Age of Reagan, then it was also in no small part the Age of Helms.
Today we take it for granted that American conservatism is defined by the values of Southern conservatism -- militarism, free trade, cheap labor, religious fundamentalism. But once upon a time there were other American conservatisms with quite different value systems. There was a snooty, WASP-y, plutocratic Northeastern conservatism, which was pro-business, internationalist, mildly philanthropic and in favor of birth control for European immigrants and third-world nations. And there was Robert Taft's Midwestern conservatism, which was anti-labor, fiscally conservative, protectionist and isolationist, and is represented today by Patrick Buchanan.
Anyone observing the American political scene in 1955, when William F. Buckley Jr. founded National Review, would have assumed that the future of the right lay with Taft Republicans rather than with the peculiar far-right Democrats of the Deep South. Why did the Jesse Helms right defeat the Bob Taft right and define American conservatism in the last half-century?
For an answer, I think, we have to look beyond tactics like Richard Nixon's opportunistic Southern strategy to the deep structure of modern American politics, which is defined by the toxic interaction of weak political parties with media and money. Evolutionary biologists speak of "exaptation" -- the use of an organ that evolved for one purpose for another purpose in a new environment. Wings, for example, might have developed on feathered dinosaurs for purposes of sexual display before they were used for flight.
The faux-populist corporate conservatism that evolved in the South between the world wars was "exapted" in this sense to flourish in a national politics of weak parties, big media and big money. Helms, like other ideological conservatives, rose to power outside the ranks of the Republican Party machine, with its Elmer Fuddish Northeastern and Midwestern stalwarts like Bob Michel. Helms' career illustrated the confluence of media and money. He began, as we have seen, as a right-wing radio announcer, a proto-Limbaugh. And throughout his career, and now posthumously, he was the beneficiary of free media. Whether he was denouncing Martin Luther King Jr. or Robert Mapplethorpe, Helms knew exactly how to shock the mostly liberal media into showering him with publicity he didn't have to pay for.
In the new political environment created by television, Dixie politicians -- not only faux-populist conservatives like Jesse Helms but also genuine populists like Mike Huckabee and populist liberals like Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton -- have flourished, while the products of more staid regional cultures, like Dukakis and Dole and Kerry, have floundered. (It is painful to watch John McCain, who despite his Southern ancestry is a right-wing Progressive in the mold of Theodore Roosevelt, pandering to the Southern right; it is like watching Woodrow Wilson pretend to be William Jennings Bryan.)
The other pillar of modern politics, besides media, is money. Helms' National Congressional Club, founded in 1972, became one of the largest political action committees in the United States by the 1980s. That money went, in turn, into the media, buying radio ads and TV ads, like the famous "white hands" ad, which played on white resentment of race-based affirmative action.
Now that Helms is in his grave, is the Age of Helms over? Don't be so sure. His influence has been so pervasive that even liberals and Democrats are doing his bidding, albeit unwittingly.
At this very moment, reactionary Southern economics is being recycled as progressive anti-racism. The Republican ranks are split between corporate types who like the cheap, nonwhite labor afforded by mass Latin American immigration and the nativists who loathe it. Ironically, the politics of racial resentment that the GOP elite exploited so skillfully would be cutting off the flow of unskilled workers -- were it not for Democratic politicians, attuned to a burgeoning Latino electorate. Jimmy Carter's Hesburgh Commission in 1980 and Bill Clinton's Jordan Commission in 1996 both recommended strict enforcement measures to stop illegal immigration and deep cuts in unskilled legal immigration, to help create a tight labor market and higher wages for low-wage workers. In 2006, however, most Democrats teamed up with the Chamber of Commerce to support a "comprehensive immigration" bill that included an entirely new mass "guest-worker program" of the kind that Phil Gramm and other Southern reactionaries had sought for years on behalf of sweatshop industries and agribusiness.
Meanwhile, hikes in the minimum wage have failed to keep pace with inflation and, thanks to government and employer hostility, private-sector unions have weakened, with little effective push back from progressives. Labor and class issues have become less important to an increasingly affluent, educated and professional Democratic base. The result is a Southern-fried cheap labor economy without the Swedish welfare state subsidies that are supposed to make it tolerable.
It gets worse. A case can be made that Helms the radio showman and other conservative media demagogues pioneered the ascendant style of liberal discourse. In the last decade, Democratic donors and activists, pondering the success of the Southernized right, decided that what the liberal left needs is not a new message but better messengers -- which meant an often conscious attempt to replicate the successful institutions of the right. And so we get someone like Keith Olbermann, who may admire Edward R. Murrow but whose hectoring owes more than we'd like to admit to Limbaugh, and therefore Helms.
So much for media. Money? Progressives denounced big money in politics as plutocracy, until they discovered they could raise more than conservatives. All the talk of "small donors" aside, most liberal money comes from affluent people. MoveOn.org and other soft-money organizations, whether they like it or not, are the children of Jesse Helms' Congressional Club.
"You have to fight fire with fire." Perhaps. My point is that, by adopting Helms' methods of media demagogy and fundraising, progressives tend to ratify the structure of Helmsian America.
So here's the real horror story. In every respect except white supremacy, contemporary America looks more and more like the South between the world wars that Jesse Helms wanted to preserve. We have growing inequality and concentration of wealth, and an elite economic strategy like that of the traditional South that focuses on importing cheap labor, outsourcing manufacturing and exporting commodities (we supply industrial Asia with timber and soybeans). Private-sector unions are all but dead, as in the South. The political parties, as organizations, are weak, as in the South. More and more elected officials are self-funded millionaires or billionaires. Contemporary American politics, like Southern politics past and present, pits elite business-class conservatives against feeble, housebroken elite progressives who are not real threats to entrenched privilege. When, inevitably, the occasional populist protest figure like Perot, Dobbs or Huckabee appears, the affluent progressives quickly close ranks with the corporate conservatives.
Jesse Helms is dead -- but his sinister influence lives on. If you seek his monument, look around. | <urn:uuid:3a5d8178-6502-4632-9c37-74e0be359e40> | CC-MAIN-2022-49 | https://www.salon.com/2008/07/11/helms_lind/ | 2022-12-08T23:37:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-49/segments/1669446711368.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20221208215156-20221209005156-00344.warc.gz | en | 0.961671 | 2,322 |

The sequel to Pandora is titled "The Chase."
In the years following the events of Pandora, Mary embarks on a journey of revenge. "John" Franklin has taken a naval commission to lead two ships, "The Terror" and "Erebus" to discover the Northwest Passage.

I find myself attracted to simply dresses and skirts in lolita. Because of Lolita Wonderland‘s post, For the Love of Simplicity, I thought, I would share some of the dresses and skirts I love from the current spring/summer 2012 season.
First, Angelic Pretty is most known for the crazy sweet prints and bright crazy colors. There have been re-releases of famous and desirable that sold out in seconds and are still sold at crazy high prices. Personally, these are not my favorite dress. However, this season Angelic Pretty seems to have many softer dress that play more on the fabric and lace. They’ve been for the most part over shadowed by other things, which is normal.
I’ve chosen three dress or jumperskirts and two skirt, all of which are simple but lovely. Lets start! Clockwise:
Retro Doll is soft and light. It is simple but it is easy to dress it up with the large bow!
Mary Gingham is so old school. I love the Old School look but I am not fond of the limited colors, white, black, red, and navy. However, this Mary Gingham has a bright pink, light blue and yellow with the old school red and black.
Sugary Baby Doll is shown as the skirt and jumperskirt with a detail of the lace. I found this resent release so adorable. It is an easy wear for everyday in summer. The cotton lace really makes it summery! Angelic Pretty often uses a tulle lace. I always love the lace details.
Vintage School is darker for then the other dresses, but I like darker colors too! The navy look is very popular this season.
Next is Baby, the Stars Shine Bright, my favorite brand. Baby is more known for simpler dresses! Of course, I love this! However, they also have popular prints that overshadow most of their lovely simple things!
Again, lets start clockwise.
Dessert One Piece is my dream dress! I bought it just a month ago! The dress is very detailed and airy. The sleeves are comfortable but still has a nice poof. The bodice is made with the usual think cotton lace that I drool over every time I see it. This dress is a remake; they’ve made a similar dress for the past few years. This one dress summaries the lolita style.
Pas de Deux is actually a ballerina print that I love. But, there is a plain skirt which is just as lovely. The ruffle and lace really make this skirt a lolita skirt. It is plain, but a wonderful skirt to dress up and down.
Arietta is a casual dress that falls out of lolita into casual. The top looks like a nice frilly blouse but the bottom is just as frilly with lace and ruffles! I love the pastel colors and the easy look this dress possesses. Sometimes, I think, lolitas try to hard.
Karami Gingham is another old school dress. To be honest, I was not attracted to this dress when I saw it on the site but once I saw it in the Paris store I thought it was lovely! It is actually very detailed and pleasing on most people!
Now, I am not against prints. I have a few prints because I have a weakness for animals. I have skirts with the prints of fawns, bears, and bunnies! How cute! And I have a dress list with a few prints. Honesty, I am just more excited about seeing a plain simple dress on sale then a printed dress. Printed dresses or skirts are usually more expensive because of the ink. I would rather have a dress or skirt for less money but more detail in the lace, construction, and ruffles. That is just me.
I hope that you enjoyed a break from my traveling posts. There are more adventures always!

Archived from the original on 22 October 2013. Mystery House for the Apple II was the primary adventure game to make use of graphics within the early residence computer era. Colossal Cave Adventure set ideas and gameplay approaches that turned staples of textual content adventures and interactive fiction. Following its launch on ARPANET, quite a few variations of Colossal Cave Adventure appeared throughout the late Nineteen Seventies and early Eighties, with some of these later versions being re-christened Colossal Adventure or Colossal Caves. These variations were enabled by the rise in microcomputing that allowed programmers to work on home computer systems rather than mainframe techniques.

As successive versions of Symbian touch interfaces have emerged from Nokia, there have been power users out there waiting for better widgets to be released. This wish hasn't always been fulfilled by Nokia but third party developers can step in and save the day, and that's exactly what QooApps have been doing lately. We recently reviewed QooBattery, and now followed up with both QooCalendar and QooClock widgets. Find out if they complement or complicate the Symbian homescreen.
Recent Reviews - Symbian 3 - Page 5
Stoppola isn't the only time lapse tool on Symbian, but it's the newest and slickest one on the block and the most video-focussed. In fact, it's so new that it's only currently available for Belle FP1 devices like the Nokia 808 PureView, which makes it fairly exclusive. Here's my review, together with a sample of its output. Summary: works as advertised, but you have to pay for high resolution video output and - yes, it really does need wider device compatibility.
We all know Symbian has the best the power management of the smartphone platforms, but that doesn't mean we should take it for granted! If you're a power user who likes to know everything about your device, then having some sort of battery monitor is a good idea. We've already seen Nokia's Battery Monitor, but there's an alternative in the shape of qooBattery.
Choice is never a bad thing and that's why we're glad to see another YouTube client for Symbian. FastTube is free of charge and provides Hi-Definition streams (where available) and downloads from YouTube to your Symbian device. Here we put FastTube under the microscope and see what else it offers and how it compares to the competition.
To be honest, I thought I'd seen the last of the big name game ports from other mobile platforms - yet Saving Private Sheep, a big hit on the iPhone and on Android, is now available for Symbian, (almost) immaculately converted and working impeccably. Its structure is almost identical to Angry Birds, it's just as physics-based and the addiction factor is just as high - but don't think that this is a rip-off title, once you get 'into' Saving Private Sheep, you'll find that there's greater variety and a higher degree of hand-eye coordination needed than in Angry Birds. Oh yes, and it's about sheep, not err..... birds!
If you're business minded, and you're the sort of gamer who likes resource management games like SIM City or Farm Frenzy, then you might like today's game, Little Big City. This spin on the city simulator genre tasks you with transforming a cosy back water into a bustling metropolis. With the inclusion of real-world micro-payments in exchange for more resources, does Little Big City have what it takes to part you from your money?
Keeping on with summer blockbuster tie-ins, we're looking at the game of Pixar's latest movie, Brave. The film is set in 10th Century Scotland and tells the tale of the teenage princess Merida, who is trying to win her freedom from the life that has been mapped out for her from before her birth. The game tie-in is a 2D sideways scrolling adventure that follows the events of the film – do you have what it takes to win your (or Merida's) freedom?
Calling all comic book fans – if your Spidey sense is tingling for a good old fashioned beat 'em up romp, then we might have a game for you. The Amazing Spiderman is the official game tie-in for the latest Spiderman reboot of the same name. Bucking the trend of modern 3D adventure games, as seen in Ultimate Spiderman: Total Mayhem HD, The Amazing Spiderman takes us back to the old days of consoles where arcane button sequences were used to access special combat moves and combinations. How well does it work on a 3.5" touchscreen phone?
The last time I formally reviewed a Zingmagic Backgammon game was five years ago, amazingly, an eternity in the mobile world. Since then we've had much higher resolution screens, touch interfaces, faster processors, and so on. The core game hasn't changed, of course, this being based on a board game that dates back thousands of years. Meaning that you probably already know how to play this - though how well you know is something that Backgammon Pro V aims to find out.
Even if you are not a member of Qype, it's likely that you'll have benefited from the European based service when searching the web for local customer reviews of shops, cafés, etc. With the mobile app, you can look up reviews of locations in your area, as well as checking in at, and reviewing, places you've just visited. Fortunately, Qype is available on all major mobile platforms, including Windows Phone 7 and Symbian. | <urn:uuid:22c0098a-0b45-48cd-aa3c-a3ead3ed0525> | CC-MAIN-2014-23 | http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/reviews/Symbian_3/?page=5 | 2014-07-31T11:28:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-23/segments/1406510273012.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20140728011753-00356-ip-10-146-231-18.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.962008 | 1,021 |
Anne McCue is better known for standing in front of guitars and drums than clarinets and brass. Her previous albums reached back to the gutsy sound of 1970s rock vocalists, as well as contemporaries like Sam Phillips and Lucinda Williams; her latest reaches back several more decades, to the sounds of the 1930s. There’s always been a bluesy edge to her singing, and here those notes consort with the roots of swing and gypsy jazz. McCue dials down the ferocity of her vocals to an era-appropriate slyness, picks terrific figures on her guitar, and perhaps most impressively of all, writes songs that bid to fill some blank pages in the great American songbook.
Drummer Dave Raven nails the era’s blood-pumping excitement with Krupa-styled tom-toms on the opening “Dig Two Graves,†Deanie Richardson’s fiddle provides a superb foil for McCue’s six string swing, and Jim Hoke’s clarinet and horn chart fills in the period detail. The song’s bouncy tempo camouflages lyrics of noirish revenge, with San Francisco fog cloaking fatalistic fortunes. McCue turns to folk-blues with the finger-picked renewal of “Spring Cleaning in the Wintertime†and the old-timey “Cowgirl Blues.†She turns into a charming, coquettish chanteuse for “Long Tall Story,†and gets slinky, ala Peggy Lee, on the double bass and finger-snapping “Save a Life.â€
Within the realm of swinging beats, McCue’s songs are quite diverse, ranging from the rockabilly “Little White Cat†to the fiery tango “Uncanny Moon.†There’s a nostalgic jazz core to the album, but it’s embroidered with elements of New Orleans funk, New York sophistication, big band rhythms, sinuous blues, stage flair and lyric craft. Dave Alvin guests as vocalist on the Cab Calloway-styled “Devil in the Middle,†and the album’s lone-cover, Regis McNichols Jr.’s contemporary “Knock on Wood,†fits perfectly with the standards vibe. McCue’s virtuosity is no surprise, but the ease with which she’s absorbed and restated the beating heart of swing music is impressive and thrilling.

The story of 34-year-old Michael Morse, who died at EDC over the weekend, hits close to home. It’s always a tragedy when someone dies at a music festival, whether due to their own inexperience or someone else’s negligence, the common thought is that it’s always avoidable.
Morse’s family is now asking why he wasn’t taken to a hospital. Over the course of the weekend, there were over 1,000 medical calls at the festival, of which at least six were transported to local hospitals. Morse began to convulse at 3:25am and was pronounced dead at the scene at approximately 7:41am at the speedway. What happened in those four hours that he wasn’t transported to a medical facility?
“Why did he sit in a tent for four hours? Why wasn’t he taken to the hospital where doctors could have possibly done more?” said Morse’s wife, Jennifer Marshall, late Wednesday. “From my understanding, they did take other people to the hospital. But I don’t know why they didn’t take Mike.”
“This is such a senseless death,” she said.
Insomniac released a statement on Tuesday following news of Morse’s passing.
“The unexpected passing of a loved one is tragic, and while the exact cause of this tragedy is still unknown, we do know that family and friends are grieving. It is with great sadness that we send our thoughts and condolences to the loved ones of the man who passed away after the festival had ended.
Our health and safety plan is created over several months with local agencies. Our roaming medical personnel are available twenty-four hours a day, free of charge, with the best emergency room doctors, nurses, EMTs and paramedics in the country. A full staff of security and police are also available to all attendees. We encourage everyone to approach our caring staff and ask for help if needed.”
We’ve reached out to Insomniac for a statement regarding Ms. Marshall’s concerns.

Trustees Executors (TE) already-busy recruitment drive has gone into turbo mode following the departure of three more senior staff over the last few weeks.
John Winch, former TE head of private wealth, finished with the firm last week following earlier resignations from long-time client services manager, Sean Roberts, and more recent hire, Peter Wells.
The latest triple exit comes just weeks after TE head of governance, Mel Hewitson, resigned. In December 2017 another TE stalwart, David Mansfield, head of business development (and integral to the firm’s lucrative fund administration arm) departed after nine years in the role.
Interestingly, both Mansfield and Hewitson have recently resurfaced at competitor firms: the former on a 12-month contract client services role with BNP Paribas Securities Services in Wellington; and, the latter as a non-executive director with the recently-rebooted Heritage Trustees.
Roberts, who spent over 18 years with TE – mainly as a governance specialist, has taken up the customer services manager job with Masterton-based Forest Enterprises. Forest Enterprises is a TE client.
Also on the TE supervisory side of the business, Wells, monitory manager governance and oversight for just over a year, left recently for a gig at the Financial Markets Authority. It is understood that Winch, who joined TE from Kiwibank/GMI about 18 months ago, is pursuing other options.
Rob Russell, TE chief, said while the rash of high-level resignations depleted the group of institutional knowledge, it would look to recruit replacements as soon as possible.
This year TE has already hired three new client services staff to bolster the group’s fund admin business but has yet to replace Mansfield in the senior role.
Russell said the recruitment process had unearthed a few potential candidates for the various open roles (prior to the latest resignations).
“But it’s a pretty tight market,” he said. “People are beefing up their regulatory capabilities across the industry.”
TE operates three business lines: wealth management; supervisory (traditional trustee services); and, the most-profitable fund administration arm. Last year TE retained its biggest fund admin client, Fisher Funds, following a highly-competitive bidding war. However, the firm recently lost the registry contract for the $5 billion plus Milford Asset Management.
Over the 12 months to September 30 last year TE reported a net profit after tax of about $9 million.
In 2015 TE was shopped around in Australia with a reported offer of about $150 million then on the table.
Russell said TE was not currently on the market.
“The company is not for sale at all,” he said. | <urn:uuid:848e0d0f-f013-44a7-b633-3b37eff233cf> | CC-MAIN-2021-04 | https://investmentnews.co.nz/investment-news/staff-turnover-continues-at-trustees/ | 2021-01-19T20:23:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-04/segments/1610703519784.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20210119201033-20210119231033-00143.warc.gz | en | 0.960883 | 572 |
For as long as I can remember, there has been rumors that Ugandan ladies know to spice up things well in matters bedroom-romance, as compared to their Kenyan counterparts. Anyway, I don’t know how true the rumor might be, but worry not if you are a Kenyan lady because you are about to know what skills make the difference.
As it comes out from this documentary, Ugandan youthful ladies are lucky because unlike in Kenya, aged women in their society give them in-depth teachings that aide them to learn more about sexuality. I never knew there is a school for ‘sexual-know-how’ until I watched this.
Check this out.
Now these Ugandans have weird ways of explaining everything. They must be pros in these.

Seville, mid-September 36 degrees (about 97 Fahrenheit), and the sun is beating down from a cloudless sky. Unfortunately, we are not here to sit in the shade and drink Sangria. On the other hand, who would complain about being able to participate in Europe’s largest conference on higher education – the European Association for International Education (EAIE)? We are among the lucky few of over 6,000 participants from 95 countries to attend this year.
The EAIE is truly a tongue twister over which many of the conference speakers regularly stumble to the amusement of the audience. Despite the awkward abbreviation, the association and the conference are of great importance to anyone working towards the internationalisation of higher education.
Representatives from ETH Zurich’s Student Exchange Office participate in EAIE each year, even though the timing of the conference – scheduled around the start of the busy Fall Semester in Switzerland – is less than ideal.
“Although it has been said many times before, despite all of the modern communication technologies available, we feel that there isn’t anything that can replace direct, face-to-face contact when building and maintaining strong partnerships.”
During EAIE, our schedule is crammed with meetings with representatives from ETH Zurich’s exchange partner universities. We exchange new developments, information, and ideas, as well as, discuss some of the mutual challenges we face. Our goals are to improve the information and services for exchange students, decrease obstacles to student mobility, and expand and deepen the cooperation with our partners.
In between meetings, we manage to attend a few of the sessions and workshops, some very informative, others a bit less so. Highly inspiring and relevant to the topic of international mobility is writer, Taiye Selasi’s keynote speech. Even in an auditorium filled with 2000 people, her personality practically leaps off the stage capturing the audience’s attention. Watch her TED talk here:
With her diverse background, she is also a perfect illustration for this year’s conference motto, “A Mosaic of Cultures.” Spectacularly beautiful Seville, with its equally diverse heritage, was obviously an inspiration for this motto.
Spectacularly beautiful Seville
We also put in a couple of hours at the booth of Swiss universities booth, where the Swiss higher education institutions and system are show cased. Unfortunately, Spanish Customs confiscated the Swiss chocolate – a well-known and universally beloved feature of the Swiss booth drawing many visitors. We speculate that it probably melted in a hot warehouse or became a midday snack for some of the customs officers. We consoled all of the disappointed booth visitors by encouraging them to attend next year’s EAIE, which will take place in Geneva, Switzerland in September 2018.
One of the highlights of the conference week was the Swiss reception. The Swiss Embassy for Spain and Andorra in Madrid hosted the reception in a beautiful location on the banks of the river Guadalquivir. The Swiss higher education institutions invited their closest partner universities to the reception creating a wonderful networking opportunity and the opportunity to thank partners for all of their invitations.
“The sauna was certainly included free of charge in this year’s conference…,” said EAIE president Markus Laitinen – a native of Finland, referring to the hot and humid weather in Seville in his closing speech. For our team, the heat was just a minor factor contributing to our exhaustion at the end of the week, to the point where we could hardly keep our eyes open on the flight back to Zurich on Friday evening. Mostly, it was the many meetings, the long days starting with breakfast meetings at 8 a.m. and ending with receptions after 10 p.m., all the new information to absorb, and the noise of thousands of people in the conference venue. Yes, okay, maybe it was also a little bit due to the Sangria we enjoyed at some of the receptions.
Though the work did not finish with the end of the conference, we can certainly say that it was a very successful EAIE and we look forward to the 2018 edition. The conference location in Geneva will be a great opportunity for all Swiss higher education institution to present themselves at their best. https://www.eaie.org/geneva.html

For Rep. Ron Barber, the discussion about gun violence and mental health that has followed December’s elementary school shooting has a deeply personal element: The Arizona Democrat was among the injured after a mentally unstable gunman opened fire on Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and others in 2011.
But his interest in mental health dates back to long before the Tucson, Ariz., shooting, stemming from his time as a Head Start director and 32 years with the Division of Developmental Disabilities in the Arizona Department of Economic Security. Although the division’s primary focus is on people with disabilities, he noted, about 35 percent to 40 percent of the people served also have a mental-health diagnosis.
Barber said his involvement boils down to an enduring interest in civil rights and a realization that, in some ways, the issue of disabilities was “the last frontier of the civil rights movement.”
“It really is about making sure that people are fully included in a community, not isolated, segregated, in an institution, but really have an opportunity to have complete lives, and that’s kind of been my life’s work,” he said in an interview.
Barber is one of many lawmakers who has a strong connection to the issue, either personally, because of a career before Congress, or both, and has made mental health a priority. A number of those members have introduced legislation focused on mental health in the wake of the Newtown, Conn., shooting, hoping to parlay their knowledge and the energy of the moment into change.
In Barber’s case, his approach to the issue in Congress has been shaped by his career and his experience as a victim of the 2011 shooting. As Giffords’ district director, he was standing beside her when the shooter opened fire, causing the brain injury that led to Giffords’ resignation a year later and his ascent to her seat.
“When I was well enough to read the accounts of the shooting and to learn more about the shooter, what was apparent — and this has been true in other cases, unfortunately — was that he was displaying a lot of symptoms of mental illness long before he shot us,” Barber said. “Yet no one did anything to get him treatment, to get him a diagnosis ... that was a problem that I felt we really should address.”
Barber introduced legislation (HR 274) in January designed to expand access to training to help teachers, students, law enforcement, nurses and other groups recognize the symptoms of mental illness and provide early referrals to services. While 1,400 people in his district have already gone through training, Barber said he wanted to make it available to the rest of the country, helping increase public awareness and reduce stigma.
He and his family also founded the Fund for Civility, Respect and Understanding while Barber was recovering in the ICU, he noted, with goals of decreasing the stigma of mental illness and combating bullying in schools.
In the Senate, one of the leaders on mental-health issues is Michigan Democrat Debbie Stabenow, whose father began exhibiting behavior now called bipolar disorder when she was in middle school. Stabenow said he went undiagnosed for 10 years, going in and out of hospitals without receiving the help he needed. But once the illness was discovered and a drug was developed, her father was able to monitor his medications like people do for other illnesses and, with therapy, be healthy and successful, she said in an interview.
Stabenow has introduced a bill (S 264) aimed at increasing access to community mental-health services and improving quality by setting criteria for federally qualified community behavioral health centers and allowing them to bill Medicaid. An advocate for mental health and substance abuse provisions in the 2010 health care law (PL 111-148, PL 111-152), she said her measure fills the gap in coverage among those in the community without access to insurance.
Stabenow has also praised the movie “Silver Linings Playbook” for putting a human face on the struggles of a family dealing with bipolar disorder, and she has appeared at news conferences with the movie’s director and lead actor. She said she identifies with the scenes in which the main character wakes up his parents and talks to them about his ideas, noting that her own father — while never violent — would wake up her mother and talk all night.
“That movie, I think for many of us, was something that was a picture of our lives with a loved one. And it also was very hopeful because when he began to take his medicine, when he had the support he needed, things became very hopeful for him,” she said. “That’s my story — there is hope, and my dad got the help he needed and was able to live a productive life with his family.”
Another Senate voice on mental-health care, Minnesota Democrat Al Franken, has introduced two pieces of mental-health legislation in the new Congress: one (S 162) focused on the criminal justice system and another (S 195) designed to increase access to mental-health services in schools. Part of the connection he feels to mental-health issues stems from his wife’s struggle with alcohol dependency and her recovery, which she spoke about in an ad released during his campaign.
“During that period, I learned a lot about not just alcoholism but about recovery and about myself,” Franken said in an interview. “It was a very powerful experience.”
Franken also noted that he had a late comedy partner who was an alcohol and drug user, which was “kind of a source of our splitting up” and that he had friends with addiction problems during his time on “Saturday Night Live.”
Beyond those experiences, he studied behavioral sciences in college and holds the Senate seat of the late Minnesota Democrat Paul Wellstone, who was a leader on mental health.
Other lawmakers focused on mental-health care can also trace their involvement to connections made before their service in Congress.
Rep. Grace F. Napolitano, D-Calif., who introduced the House version of Franken’s school-centered bill (HR 628), said her interest dates back to the 1980s, when she served on the city council, and to her later work in the state legislature. Napolitano co-chairs the Congressional Mental Health Caucus with Pennsylvania Republican Tim Murphy, who worked as a psychologist before entering Congress and is now chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee. That panel is looking into mental-health issues in the wake of the Newtown shooting.
For Alaska Democrat Mark Begich, the sponsor of the Senate version (S 153) of Barber’s training measure, much of his interest in mental health comes from his work as mayor of Anchorage. In an interview, he referenced a crisis-intervention training program provided through the municipal police department to help de-escalate situations in which mental illness is a factor.
The broad reach of mental-health issues probably will continue to bring voices to the discussion as Congress maintains a focus in that area. Stabenow said she has “yet to be in a conversation with someone and not have them tell me that a member of their family or a friend or someone that they know at work” is affected.
“I’m finding that this is something that we may not talk a lot about, but every family is impacted not only by physical illnesses, but mental illnesses as well,” she said. | <urn:uuid:7d366b20-f785-48ee-832f-ea9787f2a878> | CC-MAIN-2015-32 | http://www.rollcall.com/news/mental_health_interest_is_personal_for_many_lawmakers-222628-1.html?zkPrintable=true | 2015-08-01T16:24:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-32/segments/1438042988840.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20150728002308-00161-ip-10-236-191-2.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.985893 | 1,552 |
Meet Dr. Mike Mikhail Varshavski
Dr. Mike Mikhail Varshavski, described as the ‘sexiest doctor alive’ is currently dating, Miss Universe, Pia Wurtzbach.
As it is to be expected the hunky doctor has gotten an equally gorgeous woman to be with. Can you imagine the kids this two will create?
The couple is said to be in the early stages of the relationship, he revealed to Wonderwall.com,
“I am dating Pia. It’s a fairly new relationship but I’m really excited to see where it can go!”
The second-year family medicine resident at Overlook Medical Center in Summit, NJ, is also an entrepreneur and philanthropist. We first heard of the 26-year-old Russian born–who has model good looks –after he was People Magazine’s “Sexiest Doctor Alive.”
Dr. Varshavski, better known as ‘Doctor.Mike,’ started documenting his medical journey through social media platforms, Facebook, Twitter but most importantly, Instagram. He promotes through social media a healthy lifestyle and in no time, he went viral.
Dr. Mike was born Mikhail Varshavski, he is a 2nd year med resident. In addition to his social media entrepreneurship, Dr. Varshavski launched his own charity, he is the man behind, The Limitless Tomorrow Foundation. Established in late 2015, LTF aims to break the financial barrier for unique and capable individuals in order to achieve their unique goals.
Mikhail Varshavski, attended the New York Institute of Technology with a B.S. in Life Sciences and a Doctorate in Osteopathy and is currently a second year resident focusing on family and sports medicine at Overlook Medical Center in Summit, NJ.
Earlier this year, the ‘real life Dr. McDreamy’ –who is always keen to help people –auctioned himself off for charity in partnership with the dating app, Coffee Meets Bagel. But now we know the sad reality. He and the Miss Universe 2015 are an item.
Rumors of the couple began a few weeks ago when he posted a photo to his very famous Instagram page with the Filipino-German beauty queen. A couple of days later, Pia also posted another snap of the two together.
Believe it or not, Dr. Mike Mikhail Varshavski also makes time to keep active in sports, according to Bustle, is good in boxing and he’s an eight-year Tae Kwon Do black belter. Could this guy be any more perfect?

These publishers took advantage of increased COVID-19 traffic to make new connections with their audiences, adding to their email lists and their coffers.
We will identify 4-5 news organizations that used the coronavirus crisis to deepen their connection to their community and drive their business forward. News sites have some great stories to tell about how they responded to the crisis. It would be a nice antidote to all the gloom and doom that surrounds the news business. Specifically, we’d want to look for sites that embarked on very specific strategies and can illustrate how their numbers changed. And how it positioned them for the future rather than throwing them back on their heels.

Sorry peeps...I wasn't able to inform you lovely people that I was off to India. I actually wanted to do a post before I left London on 6th but then me being such a last-minute person unfortunately had planned to do a million other things and so had to leave the bye-bye post for another day.
I am in India, Kerala to be precise, at the moment and will be here for about 2 months..yeah sigh and ooh and aah all you want but I think 2 months in kerala can really get to me. But the good thing is, my lil brother (yeah the same one who asks me doubts about tomato rice and stews) is getting married to his school sweetheart in Jan and so I'm in the midst of wedding planning and shopping which I'm thoroughly enjoying..and the best part is..wait-for-it..that Ro is in Kottayam being pampered by his mom and not here with me in Trivandrum nagging me (oh and I have his credit card as well).
So anyhoo, my dads computer is so bloody slow and I hate working on it, and Ro has taken the laptop so I'm not sure how much of blogging I can squeeze and how much I can visit your blogs. In case I don't get to pop in and say Hi by this year end, here's wishing you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year...way in advance.
Take care and have a blast wherever you guys are.

Another borrowed recipe. I know Ive been having too many of those, blame it on the weather or just the laziness in me to type out a whole recipe post. This way I just need too link it to someone else's blog and be done with it. The picture taking bit, I am obsessed with and with exactly about 3 or 4 hours of bearable daylight, I actually struggle to do that as well.
The initial hype of snow lasted exactly for 2 days...this was when we were in Chicago about 4 years back..and hence been dreading heading out when its so. Especially, the day after a heavy snow fall is pathetic with the roads being slippery and slushy and horrid. Being in London city, we have no choice but to make use of the local buses, subways and trams to get to wherever which on a normal day I love since the buses have a bus lane where we breeze through and the cars are all piled up in the next lane. The tube gets you anywhere in no time again. But the case is a tad worse in adverse weather conditions, but we have no choice but to go out in the weather anyway, if we needed to get our acts done. I actually was taking baby steps yesterday when I went out because it was so slippery and was so scared Id fall down.
London very rarely gets snow this time of the year and its usually Jan/ Feb when we are mostly snowed in. But past two days its been snowing quite a bit and yesterday I woke up to a surrounding in white. It was all so magical and in spite of me dreading going out, I was all excited at 9am to bake something. The easiest thing that came to my mind was Nithya's yo-yo biscuits. Well another reason being I had custard powder left over from my Custard cake episode and had to use it up in some way or the other.
These were so nice to eat right out of the oven and I actually didn't wait for it to cool down on a rack (I love my cookies and biscuits and cake all crumbly and hot straight out of the oven). My huge floor to top windows in my living room are the best feature in my tiny apartment and so I made use of it thoroughly yesterday. Grabbed my book, coffee and these biscuits and enjoyed the morning reading, and most of the time day dreaming and watching people walk by (which is my fav. past time btw). Not many mornings of mine are as enjoyable as this because most of the time I'm all groggy and need at least 3 hours 2 settle, but this was a morning I loved. It all changed this morning when I looked out and say slush and ice. Case closed!
Vanilla flavoured custard powder- 1/4 cup
Butter- 125 gms
Powdered sugar (icing sugar)- 1/2 cup
Vanilla extract- 1 tsp
Mix together the flour and custard powder in a bowl. Keep aside.
In a mixing bowl, using a hand whisk or an electric one, cream together the sugar, butter and vanilla till light and fluffy.
Add the flour mix and beat on low until just combined.
Line a baking tray and preheat the oven to 180C.
Pinch off small portions from the dough and roll them into balls, place on the baking tray at about 2 inches apart and with a fork, slightly press them down for that design to appear on top. This will flatten the ball a bit, but that's really the point.
Bake for about 12 to 14 minutes or till light golden brown.
Cool them on a rack and then store in an air tight container.
Notes: The original recipe calls for Ap flour. Didn't have any so used self raising instead
I didn't bother to cool the dough in the refrigerator..no patience whatsoever. Tasted good anyway:) | <urn:uuid:52e319c0-737b-49b7-9829-608b4021b08b> | CC-MAIN-2015-11 | http://mykitchenantics.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html | 2015-03-05T16:03:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-11/segments/1424936464303.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20150226074104-00115-ip-10-28-5-156.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.972387 | 1,128 |

|Aquinas Day By Day|
Aquinas’s topic: species is understood as genus and difference
Scripture: “Get wisdom, get understanding. Do not forget or turn aside from the words I utter.” Proverbs 4: 5
Aquinas’s text: Summa theologiae I.3.5
In the course of explaining why God’s nature is not contained within some genus, Br. Thomas here makes use of the way he understands a logical species is composed of the genus under which the species falls and the difference that distinguishes one species from other species of that genus.
The question he asks is this: Is God contained in a genus?
There are two ways some thing can be in a genus. In one way, absolutely and properly, as a species that is contained under the genus. In the other way, as being reducible to the genus, as principles and privations are in a genus. This is how point and unity are reduced to the genus of quantity, as principles of it; and blindness and every privation is reduced to the genus of the positive trait it lacks. Now God is not in a genus in either way. That God cannot be a species of some genus may be shown in three ways.
The first is because a species is constituted from its genus and difference. Now that from which the difference constituting the species is taken is always related to that from which the genus is taken, as act is related to potency. For “animal” is taken as a concrete term from the sensitive nature, since that is called “animal” which has a sensitive nature. But “rational” is taken from intellectual nature, because “rational” is what has an intellectual nature. Now intellectual is compared to sensitive as act to potentiality. And the same thing holds for other species. Therefore, since in God potency is not joined to act, it is impossible that God be in a genus as its species.
Respondeo dicendum quod aliquid est in genere dupliciter. Uno modo simpliciter et proprie; sicut species, quae sub genere continentur. Alio modo, per reductionem, sicut principia et privationes, sicut punctus et unitas reducuntur ad genus quantitatis, sicut principia; caecitas autem, et omnis privatio, reducitur ad genus sui habitus. Neutro autem modo Deus est in genere. Quod enim non possit esse species alicuius generis, tripliciter ostendi potest.
Primo quidem, quia species constituitur ex genere et differentia. Semper autem id a quo sumitur differentia constituens speciem, se habet ad illud unde sumitur genus, sicut actus ad potentiam. Animal enim sumitur a natura sensitiva per modum concretionis; hoc enim dicitur animal, quod naturam sensitivam habet, rationale vero sumitur a natura intellectiva, quia rationale est quod naturam intellectivam habet, intellectivum autem comparatur ad sensitivum, sicut actus ad potentiam. Et similiter manifestum est in aliis. Unde, cum in Deo non adiungatur potentia actui, impossibile est quod sit in genere tanquam species.

1 O Lord, how shall I meet you,
how welcome you aright?
Your people long to greet you,
my hope, my heart’s delight!
O kindle, Lord most holy,
a lamp within my breast,
to do in spirit lowly
all that may please you best.
2 Love caused your incarnation;
love brought you down to me;
your thirst for my salvation
procured my liberty.
O love beyond all telling,
that led you to embrace
in love, all loves excelling,
our lost and fallen race.
3 You come, O Lord, with gladness,
in mercy and goodwill,
to bring an end to sadness
and bid our fears be still.
In patient expectation
we live for that great day
when your renewed creation
your glory shall display.

Though many Advent hymns address Christ with entreaty and invitation, this more contemplative text considers how an individual prepares for and responds to Christ’s coming. It also brings together a recollection of the First Coming with an anticipation of the Second Coming.

Negative views of President Obama have hit a new high, according to a poll.
The AP-GfK poll shows 59 percent of Americans now disapprove of Obama -- a point higher than the previous high set in December.
Obama's approval rating stands at 41 percent. That's the second-lowest figure the poll has ever found.
Part of Obama's problems appear to be related to foreign policy: The poll shows Americans disapprove of his handling of the situation in Ukraine 57-40 and disapprove of how he handles relationships with other countries 58-40.
In January, Americans were evenly split on Obama's diplomacy skills.
The poll was conducted Thursday through Sunday.Follow @AaronBlakeWP | <urn:uuid:2f3dcd60-595f-4c70-9a6f-056e180ce729> | CC-MAIN-2017-34 | https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2014/03/26/poll-obamas-disapproval-rating-hits-a-new-high/ | 2017-08-18T03:34:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-34/segments/1502886104560.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20170818024629-20170818044629-00094.warc.gz | en | 0.959797 | 142 |
Every retailer needs to be sure their customers find the exact items they need, in the fastest time possible.
And, managing your supply chain is not a simple one-size-fits-all approach anymore. As competition continues to grow, eCommerce immediacy will follow suit. Giving your customers the accessibility to purchase as many products as possible in the fastest time is the way of the future, so why not jump on board?
Adding eCommerce kits & bundles is a quick, simple solution to expand your product offering, and increase online store sales.
What Are ‘Kits’ aka ‘Bundled’ Products?
If you’re not familiar with these types of products, a ‘kit’, or ‘bundled’ product is made up of various components or items, sold as a set or group, also known as product bundling. That’s what makes adding kits to your product mix so easy. You already have the individual components, but instead of offering each product on its own, you create a new offering by grouping similar or complementary products together.
1) Increase Store Sales
There are a number of ways you can increase sales by adding kits to your product mix. First, you have more opportunities to sell each product, making managing multichannel sales even easier. Not only can the product be listed on its own for sale, but now you can add that product to one or more kits, increasing the number of listings for that particular product and your chances of selling it. Plus, each kit is made up of multiple items, so your sales price is higher.
2) Differentiate Yourself
Your kit is a combination of whatever products you choose, offering you the opportunity to be unique and differentiate yourself from the competition.
3) Make Room for Discount Pricing
Since your customer is buying more than one product with each kit, you may be able to offer discounted pricing. This can be a strategic way to drive more sales. After all, everyone loves a deal! This strategy, combined with efficiently managing the inventory purchasing process, will provide clear visibility to your products, avoid stock outs and much more.
Managing Your Kit Products
Adding kits to your product mix may be easy, but sometimes the inventory control can be difficult, especially when one item is used as a component in more than one kit. It’s never been easier to manage your inventory and order fulfillment processes associated with each kit product. | <urn:uuid:a3047f4c-ec23-4fcf-9f1b-cb7bc8ee2ac6> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.freestylesolutions.com/boost-sales-with-ecommerce-kits-and-bundles/ | 2022-01-18T09:54:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320300810.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20220118092443-20220118122443-00587.warc.gz | en | 0.944492 | 504 |

People looking to cash in on the next gold rush should consider developing applications — or apps — for the new generation of smart mobile phones, according to a forecast released Tuesday by the Yankee Group.
Consumers will spend more than $4.2 billion on apps in 2013, up from $343 million this year, the research firm says, as smartphones become ubiquitous and app prices rise.
The average smartphone owner "downloads about 20 apps per year," says Carl Howe, director of consumer research. "It's a bigger market than a lot of people have been thinking."
Half of newspaper and magazine publishers say that smartphones will become a vital distribution channel in three years, the Audit Bureau of Circulations reports. Only 42% are as upbeat about e-book readers.
Gamemakers also like sales trends for iPhones, aapl BlackBerrys rimm and phones based on Google's goog Android operating system.
Yankee's forecast "may be conservative," says Andrew Stein, director of mobile business development for PopCap, which makes casual games.
Entrepreneurs hoping to become the Bill Gates of smartphones should beware, though.
"It's like going to the racetrack," says Gartner Research's Ken Dulaney. "You hear about one person who made $200,000 in two weeks. But for every one of those, there are 150 others who are struggling."

The comic strip spawned a TV show plus a number of video games, feature films, books, and, of course, holiday specials—not to mention one very memorable car window craze. We sat down with Garfield creator Jim Davis to nail down a solid list of 20 things you might not know about the wisecracking feline. It was about him, but he had this wise cat who, every time, came back zinging him. He always had the great payoff. At the time, I worked for T. Ryan—the cartoonist for Tumbleweeds—and I showed it to him and told him how every time I got to the punch line the cat zings him.
Also, I purposely gave him a job right off the top for the reason that The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet never explained what Ozzie did for a living.
Nobody ever knew because he was always in the house with Harriet and Ricky and David. So I thought I would give Jon a job right off the top to avoid being asked what he does for a living in interviews.
Now just imagine a fat, wisecracking, lasagna-eating cat as the President of the United States of America. Sounds like a dead-ringer for William Howard Taft! It gives me a lot more latitude for the humor for the situations. We do roughs and it all filters through me so that it has one voice. It was really interesting. But those T-shirts go away," he laughs. Garfield is syndicated in more than newspapers and journals. The cat also has more than 16 million fans on Facebook.
The fat cat has always been—and will always be—fat. If everybody were, there would probably be fewer disorders of all natures. I think that makes him probably easier to identify with than a slim, athletic character in the comics. Lindsay Workman [who voices the old man that tells Garfield and Odie about the vengeful ghost pirates] was just a great character actor. I think we took our time to build to a scary scene where the ghost pirates invaded the house to look for the buried treasure.
We tried to throw as many elements together as possible to create a situation where, at least for a few minutes, it could create a scary situation for the young viewers. We exposed the film twice to overexpose the ghosts, and that gave it that eerie glow.
We were totally in control of the process and the results turned out very well. The musical was supposed to start touring the United States in September , but was delayed until January , when it premiered in Muncie. It was the fact that he embodies the attitude that Garfield has always displayed in the strip. There will be that emotional tag going with his voice. Murray, of course, played Venkman in the Ghostbusters films and would, in , provide the voice of Garfield in Garfield: So we just confirmed that the Garfield balloon, in fact, was the largest one by volume of gas.
Amazon In the s, it wasn't unusual to see a number of cars with little Garfield plushes stuck to the windows with suction cups. But that wasn't the original design—or the intended use. It never occurred to me that people would put them on cars. Garfield at Large was number one for two solid years. They both contacted Davis personally for the strips; the cartoonist happily obliged.
They only know their characters. So I just hide behind Garfield. Davis's father and namesake, who passed away in , liked Garfield but preferred another comic strip: This article originally appeared in | <urn:uuid:1283ec28-42b0-49e9-b5fa-c3008bc4fe8e> | CC-MAIN-2018-39 | http://comgranada.org/big-brother-sex-scene-footage.php | 2018-09-23T20:37:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-39/segments/1537267159744.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20180923193039-20180923213439-00390.warc.gz | en | 0.97979 | 732 |

Posted in Food Safety on August 21, 2018
You may have heard by this point that insects are the food of the future. They are not so much a coming trend as they are a sort of inevitability. Mealworms, grasshoppers, and crickets eat next to nothing and pack a huge amount of protein for their size. Their carbon footprint is tiny enough to be statistically negligible. As the atmosphere chokes with greenhouse gas, the planet heats up, and the global food system groans under the weight of millions of new people, insects might start to seem like a logical source of protein.
Granted, not everyone is ready to start munching on crickets for hors d’oeuvres or replacing their whey powder with ground-up mealworms. The bug-eating revolution has not quite arrived yet. But insects are a growing source of food — and one with particular promise in the global south, where calories and nutrients are in short supply for many. Which brings us to the question of the day: are insects safe to eat, and do they bring any unique food safety challenges to the table?
So far, as an article in The New Food Economy pointed out, there is not a regulatory framework in place to deal specifically insects as food in the United States. The European Food Safety Authority has a special category that deals with regulations for novel foodstuffs, which newly conceived foods derived from crickets and mealworms fall under. In the US, by contrast, there is no regulatory category for novel foodstuffs.
That does not mean that the world of insect farming is an unregulated wild west. The United States has decided for the time being to regulate insects as they would any other kind of food. The same rules that apply to raising chickens or cattle apply to raising crickets. The food and water they are fed are held to the same standard as that fed to larger livestock; the rules for slaughtering, packaging, storing and selling them are no different than they would be for a farm animal with a backbone.
Cricket feed and water need to be tested for additives and the presence of heavy metals and other pollutants. So do the crickets; if their bodies contain controlled substances like antibiotics over the legal limit set by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), then their meat is considered adulterated and not fit for sale, just like any other animal. In practice, that means that cricket farmers need to be as careful, if not more so, than ranchers raising conventional livestock. Because insects are relatively tiny, even small amounts of substances the federal government considers harmful can adulterate them if present in feed and water.
Interestingly, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has so far indicated that it doesn’t have much interest in regulating edible insects. The USDA is the organization that sets the rules for beef, poultry, catfish, dairy, and most other products from livestock in the United States. That means that insects fall instead under the purview the FDA, and will be regulated by their rules. According to the article in The New Food Economy, the USDA is not completely disengaged, and has been providing the certified organic label for some cricket farms.
The question of whether a new food is regulated by the FDA or the USDA can determine quite a bit. Just as the fight over whether cell-cultured meat should be regulated by the USDA or not; cattlemen looking to squash the threat of steaks grown in a lab could not decide whether to bring the cell-cultured meat under the purview of the USDA, where (cattleman hope) the nascent industry could be strangled by onerous regulations, or to leave it out in the cold for the FDA to regulate by saying that it wasn’t actually meat and thus not the USDA’s problem – the hope being that by denying the meat-like qualities of cell-cultured animal products and getting the government to declare that they were not meat, they could encourage consumers to stick to more traditional hamburgers.
None of that is playing out yet with edible insects. The USDA’s deference might come from the hope that by ignoring the critters they can keep them in the shadows; by not regulating the bugs, they can avoid legitimizing them as a competitor to traditional meats. That might work for the time being. Insects have such a low overhead, however, that they are much more cost effective to raise in terms of inputs and protein yielded per pound than beef. They may rise as a competitor to bacon yet.
The main barrier to crickets is social: for many of us, the idea of eating bugs is a bit gross. It doesn’t matter that they are regulated by the FDA, or that they are one of the most efficient ways to get calories from next to nothing; crickets have legs and crunchy shells and antennae that seem like they would tickle the back of the throat on their way down. That’s not exactly an appetizing thought.
Beyond their grossness, however, insects seem to be (for the time being) safe. Much remains to be seen about how effectively they’ll be regulated – in a couple years, Make Food Safe might be running articles about salmonella outbreaks linked back to blocks of mealworm protein. Just like with any other food, the safety of insects for eating is tied up in what they are fed, the environment they are raised in, and the conditions in which they are processed and packaged. If the edible insect industry expands, it is likely that some farmers will cut corners to get the edge on their competition, and that those cut corners will inevitably get people sick, attracting rebukes from the FDA and headlines from food safety news outlets like this one.
Until then, however, just remember that there’s nothing inherently dangerous to your health about eating crickets or mealworms. So, close your eyes, hold your nose, and open up! The culinary future is upon us, and it looks like it might have six legs. | <urn:uuid:261fb361-0ef2-43c3-bde1-e252971c9390> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www.makefoodsafe.com/are-bugs-really-safe-to-eat/ | 2019-06-20T20:02:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999273.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20190620190041-20190620212041-00162.warc.gz | en | 0.970626 | 1,241 |

Italian Studies at Manchester undertakes internationally recognized research which is both wide-ranging and markedly interdisciplinary, with a particular focus on linguistics, translation studies, and cultural politics from the Medieval to the modern period. In the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise over half of its research activity was deemed to be in the top two categories of 'world-leading' and 'internationally excellent', placing it in the upper tier of a small group of elite institutions.
A considerable number of candidates have pursued PhD research in the fields of Italian linguistics and cultural history, in part supported by funding secured from major AHRC research project awards (£350,000 and £280,000). Resources for the study of Italian at Manchester are outstanding and underpinned by the holdings of The John Rylands University Library, the third largest academic library in the UK. The Deansgate branch of the JRULM, which has recently undergone a £16m refurbishment, houses the library's special collections which include a world class holding of early Italian printed books from the Spencer, Christie, and Bullock collections. The research culture is further enhanced by the presence of Visiting Professors and Lecturers from Italy, participation in the interdisciplinary seminars held by the Italian Forum, and regular research seminars.

I would have to regard myself as a watch enthusiast!As I love all aspect of amount of time in what is positioned on ones hands to give us a view of our daily time.After researching many digital watches, reading many review articles and the prices, one specific watch stood out to me, and that was the Oposon digital watch!And I must say that after receiving the watch,
I mean, I could see it obviously with my shades on in the car.Many of my digital watches cause me to lift my tones for an excellent read.W800H–1AV is that view that causes you to smirk if somebody gives it seeing that a gift (cheap b#$%#^!).However when you look 6-7 years and this thing is still going strong later, you say, this is one of the best presents I’ve ever received!
Shows you enough time in hours, a few minutes, and seconds.Shows you your day of the week. Shows you the year, month, and date.And it also shows if it’s am or pm.The view is 100m water evidence, but I’ve never tested that therefore i wouldn’t know.It has 12 hour and 24 hour time, and a led light that remains on for about two seconds.In addition, it comes with an alarm with snooze, a stop watch, plus some other things that I don’t know what it is.Overall this watch is a great watch that I wear all day long except when We’m in the shower.
Because the advent of smart phones, I have not worn a watch in many years.EASILY need to know the time I simply look at my iPhone.As a competitive weightlifter, I also record my training using my iPhone therefore i can send the video clips to my coach for evaluation.And sometimes it becomes a pain to utilize this device for multi-purpose. So I made a decision to buy a watch in the end these years.
I suffer from dry eyes and my vision is blurry upon awakening usually. Most watches are backlighted and difficult to learn during these periods. This watch features large digits that light up making them much simpler to read actually.Also, I am just a little larger than most (wear a size 14 ring) the band is large enough to be more comfortable with room to spare.It may not work for you but it is a perfect match for me.
The watch looks much better in person, and the expansion band was a relief from the usual clasp watches use actually.I do have very small arms, so although the watch fits, I would still prefer to truly have a watch-smith shorten the band just ever so slightly.The relative back lit light is an extremely good feature to have.I was surprised to come across a few of the other, more costly watches I was looking not featuring this. | <urn:uuid:6585eba9-ec89-4e9a-beeb-e8a8b62ecd46> | CC-MAIN-2018-51 | http://www.fengxing.us/awesome-mens-wristwatches-worthy-of-a-try/ | 2018-12-10T19:49:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-51/segments/1544376823442.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20181210191406-20181210212906-00410.warc.gz | en | 0.970319 | 599 |
On May 8, The Stanford Review published an article entitled “Don’t Get Out the Vote.” The title is self-explanatory.
When I first saw the article, I drew a heavy sigh, because that’s my standard response to most articles from The Review, as I generally disagree with them on most issues. And normally, that would have been that.
But this time, I felt compelled to respond by the article’s subtitle:
“Stanford students’ efforts to encourage democratic participation, while noble, would be better invested elsewhere.”
So, hi, my name is Terence, and I’m one of those Stanford students who encourages democratic participation by helping you register to vote, and I’m here to explain why my time is pretty well-invested where it currently is. Between me and my fellow SIG (Stanford in Government) members, we’ve registered voters at our own dorms, at other dorms, at events, at Admit Weekend and at local high schools, churches and community centers. All told, we’ve registered hundreds, if not thousands of people, but it would apparently be better, according to The Review, if we just used that time to (and I’m paraphrasing here) “work minimum wage jobs and send the earnings to DR Congo to buy mosquito nets.” Why, you ask?
Well, it appears that The Review fails to see the importance of an individual’s vote. It claims that “on average, a voter in America has a 1 in 60 million chance of deciding a presidential election.” And as to the work we volunteers do by registering people to vote? Well, The Review claims that “the chance that turning out… 10,000 people nationally… changes the election is less than 0.02 percent.”
I found this argument to be oddly nihilist and, for lack of a better word, strange. The same logic simply wouldn’t work if we apply it to comparable scenarios: That bottle you recycled yesterday probably won’t be the thing that tips the scale and halts climate change; your $500 property tax assessment this year probably won’t be the thing that keeps the country solvent; hell, my grandfather fought in Vietnam, and given that there were about 2.3 million other people also fighting there, his being there probably wasn’t the thing that decided the outcome of the war.
But that doesn’t mean that any of these things are meaningless – throwing a plastic bottle into the landfill is wrong, tax evasion is illegal and, well, you definitely shouldn’t discredit someone’s military service. The point is, it’s a great big world out there — and it shouldn’t be surprising that, in general, the actions of individual human beings are not exactly influential in causing massive amounts of change. And sure, this might justify some angsty, pseudo-philosophical existential crisis; it is not, however, a valid argument for not voting.
Besides, the point of registering people to vote isn’t to change election outcomes. Granted, if a candidate pays for the efforts, it’s intended to register potential supporters to ensure victory. But, for nonpartisan organizations like SIG, the only goal is to register as many voters as possible, regardless of political affiliation.
And that’s because voting is fundamentally not about picking winners and losers — a coin flip can do the job just fine — it’s about the process of civic engagement, of people taking part in self-government and of citizens realizing their political agency — perhaps for the very first time. And as someone who had the privilege of actually running a polling place, it was a tremendous sight that I was fortunate enough to witness with my own eyes.
It’s 8:10 a.m. on Election Day. The first voter — a jovial, balding old man with a cowboy hat — walks in. On his way out, I inform him that he was the very first voter in the precinct. He shakes his head in dismay and promises that he would get his neighbors to turn out. Sure enough, when he returns again at 7:30 p.m. to ask, “How’d I do? Did they come in?” I am able to happily report that he was able to get 15 of the 16 registered voters in his apartment complex to come vote. About half of them mentioned that they had only shown up because the man told them to.
At 5:30 p.m., a couple who only showed up to help their second-grader complete his school assignment of observing the polling place discover that there are election materials translated into their native Korean, and vote for the very first time.
At 6:25 p.m., an old woman who had voted in her first election for Adlai Stevenson and in every election since shuffles in to cast her ballot.
At 7:02 p.m., a college student who had just turned 18 three days ago proudly picks up her very first ballot with a broad smile.
At 7:30 p.m., a disabled veteran comes in to exercise the right he fought and bled for to defend.
At various times throughout the day, immigrants who had escaped countries from the Soviet Union to communist China come in to exercise a right that seems all the more precious when living in its absence.
At 7:45 p.m., a man, despite being in a rush to get somewhere, waits persistently by the ballot box until it makes a beeping sound to indicate that his vote had been counted before feeling comfortable to leave.
At 7:59 p.m., a man literally somersaults into the polling place, three seconds before it closed, so he could cast his vote…
I think my precinct was fairly average — just 2,000-odd voters living in a few of your typical SoCal suburban blocks. Yet, these are just a fraction of all the extraordinary happenings I saw in the 12 hours that the polling place was open. I don’t know who these people voted for — it doesn’t matter to me one bit. What matters a great deal, however, is that as I closed down the polling place that night, I felt a little surge of optimism for America’s future. And I know, deep in my heart, that whoever registered those voters sure didn’t waste their time.
P.S.: If you haven’t already, you have until May 23 to register to vote in the California primary elections. Go turn out and vote.

We’re all trying to to get the edge up on the competition, working differently, or developing ourselves into more complete intellectual entities. Sure, the big things can make a huge impact on how smart you are or react in certain situations. However, we should not look past the smalls things. Here, we are breaking down seven small things that can make you smarter.
7. EARLY MORNING HYDRATION
The refreshing feeling of drinking water when rising in the morning can do wonders for your overall health. But did you know it can help your brain power? Drinking at least two glasses of water is a great way to rehydrate your system. After all, you have been asleep for several hours and your body is missing a lot of fluids. The tasks that require a vast portion of your mental strength, can be aided by a couple of glasses. So wake up — and refresh yourself — with water.
6. GREEN TEA
Drinking any type of tea with caffeine before your sleep time arrives, isn’t the smartest idea. But a specific type of tea will enhance your brain’s process. l-theanine in green tea, can spark essential flares to your brain waves, probing you to be more productive as you work. If you want to get moving more productively, try some green tea!
5. MID-DAY NAPPING
It’s funny how the same things we dreaded as kids, are the same things we would damn-near kill for as adults. One of those is napping. The casual mid-day nap can be essential to helping you pick up energy for tasks you have yet to complete. Napping can be best around 3 PM in the afternoon — and/or after you have completed a workout at the gym. Try it for yourself, and see where the productivity leads you!
4. PLAYING VIDEO GAMES
Here’s a small thing that you might have never thought about; video games can make you smarter. But there’s a small catch. Instead of watching TV, try playing video games instead. When you are watching television, you are taking in a lot of information — as opposed to video games — which you can take your mind and add more production. So the next time you’re considering watching television, grab the game controller and have some fun!
3. READING BOOKS
You’re aiming for being smarter than you previously were, so grabbing a book can do us some good. You can never read too much; there’s a lot of information that we can consume and add to our knowledge. You begin to exercise your brain when your brain creates visuals of the content you’re taking in. So if you’re ever feeling bored and wondering what to do, pick up a book and work those muscles in your brain.
2. TRY PROGRAMMING
Programming is not the easiest thing to learn, but with great challenges, comes great reward. The reward with programming will be to increase the brain power you have. Sure, it will not be a walk in the park when you first begin, but once you get the hang of programming, the sky is the limit. Also, imagine putting that on your CV. Adding programming to your repertoire can be a key factor in your success.
1. SPEND SOME TIME WITH PEOPLE SMARTER THAN YOU
Hanging around with someone smarter than you, can only help you become smarter than you already are. The key is to learn more than you’ve already been aware of. Being around people smarter than you will enable you to think on a different level. Together, ideas can spark up at any moment, also helping you gain momentum in your route to victory.
It’s similar to playing sports. If you played a game of tennis against someone who couldn’t even hit the ball, it wouldn’t help you at all. But play someone who is a better player than you and it will help improve your game. The same thing applies. | <urn:uuid:f59dd4fa-89d1-439a-940b-3e02481a9c7e> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | https://unigoss.wordpress.com/2018/06/22/7-habits-that-will-make-you-smarter/ | 2019-05-25T07:09:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232257920.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20190525064654-20190525090654-00480.warc.gz | en | 0.940807 | 835 |
by Stephen Tudor (Daisy Cutter)
Mere seconds after Manchester United had stumbled blindly to their third consecutive defeat and into their sixth or seventh consecutive crisis the knives were out. On social media and in pubs and living rooms across the country, as Sunday roasts were being prepared in kitchens and the sun shone bright outside, there was mockery, castigation and damning stats galore revealing the full extent of the awful mess the club now resided in. Three years deep into their post-Ferguson era it had become abundantly clear this was not a transitional period or a temporary malaise. This was a demotion of status and standing. This was Liverpool in the early nineties happening all over again.
The fall from dominance had been bruising – humiliating even – yet no quarter was spared as the media waded in soon after. Here was a club – the BBC, tabloids, broadsheets, BT Sport and Sky duly pointed out – whose fanbase crowed loudly and proudly didn’t buy success: success came to them. Yet despite splurging an astonishing £477.5m in little over three years – an unprecedented amount in British football – it had garnered only a single FA Cup and 4th, 5th and 7th placed finishes in the Premier League.
This extended far beyond hypocrisy – they couldn’t even fulfil the simplistic insult they hurled at others. Evidently United don’t buy success because they can’t.
Here too was a club who prided themselves on sticking with their managers and building dynasties. Yet five games into the new season and already there were calls for the coach’s head. Not just any coach either. This was the one.
More damning than any of the above however is the classless, desperate, and quite frankly embarrassing, manner in which they have handled their plummet from the perch. Thrashing and flailing, abandoning self-proclaimed values and trumpeted traditions. It has been not so much a dismantling of all that Ferguson built but wanton destruction courtesy of a blinged-up wrecking ball.
We’ve all seen a film centring on a storyline of this variation: a man spends a lifetime amassing a fortune through business acumen only to retire and reluctantly hand the reins of his successful company to his obnoxious son. The son’s first act – as shares nervously nosedive – is to hire Rihanna at extortionate expense for an impromptu shindig. That’s now the famous Man United.
So the media duly highlighted this eminently newsworthy development, a development that was all the more notable because it contrasted so sharply with the pre-season narrative that United were back as a force to be reckoned with. The fierceness in which they sunk their teeth should come as no surprise. Remember how they went gunning for Liverpool in descent, white suits and all, and this arguably was huger still. If a groin strain for a left-back warrants a headline then multiply that by a gazillion for the biggest football club in the world using every considerable means at their disposal yet still be stuck in reverse.
Only, well, none of this happened. The protracted United implosion did of course and every word is undeniably true if coloured by my own prejudice. Yet the media – and even social media – perplexingly chose to ignore the big story, the big picture.
Instead mere seconds after Manchester United had stumbled blindly to their third consecutive defeat and into their sixth or seventh consecutive crisis – while still sludging through the same predictable and unadventurous football that defames their recent past – social media and the subsequent newspapers concentrated their attention on only two names: Jose Mourinho and Wayne Rooney. Just like last season when apparently only Louis Van Gaal and Rooney were to blame for United’s freefall. And before them only David Moyes.
Individuals are not to blame for United’s decline, though some have naturally played a significantly bigger part than others. It has been a collective failure from the board to the players and originates not from Moyes demanding that Vidic and Ferdinand watch videos of Phil Jagielka’s defending or from Van Gaal’s clipboard, nor for that matter Rooney’s egotism; it began when Ferguson opted not to prepare for the future and instead squeezed one last push from a fading squad to ensure he retired as a champion.
That left a vacuum that has been filled with incompetence, reactive decision-making, and lavish marquee signings that have the same distinct whiff of City’s forlorn chase of Kaka in 2009. While their neighbours swiftly saw the error of their ways and took the Field Of Dreams approach – if they build it, they will come – United were too arrogant and surrounded by silverware to think they needed to return to the groundwork. They believed superstars alone would be sufficient.
In the great scheme of things then Mourinho is as much to blame for United’s present woes as a detective inadvertently contaminating evidence at a murder scene by traipsing blood over the carpet. He has been in office for 117 days; United have been bog-standard mediocre now since being walloped down to size by City in a derby played three years ago tomorrow. You do the math.
Perhaps arithmetic isn’t the media’s strongest suit because you certainly wouldn’t know this from the hysterical Watford aftermath. Once again they chose to shoot the messenger. “Mourinho faces crisis”. “Mourinho loses three in a row”. Unless a dramatic turn-around is imminent the Portuguese scowler is set to become the next big name sacrificed at the altar, portrayed as a loser; portrayed as the sole perpetrator of the failure, all to protect the standing of a club that is no longer worthy of it.
Liverpool have endured over two decades of carping and japery in the press for simply not being imperiously brilliant anymore while a single stumble by City is all it takes for the hoary old clichés to be trotted out. Arsenal meanwhile have become the punchline to a running joke in the British media for consistently qualifying for the Champions League.
When will the worms turn on United? When will the club and its entitled supporters similarly be held to account? I would suggest that time is now. I would suggest it is long overdue.
Mourinho in crisis? Mourinho a ‘dinosaur’ living off the successes of his past? Mourinho is losing the plot again? To varying degrees truth lies at the heart of these claims but a much larger truth mirrors all three. And until that is reported as fact it makes a mockery of us all. | <urn:uuid:7b4ca668-b329-44a0-912c-24d6f143690c> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://www.thedaisycutter.co.uk/2016/09/why-do-manchester-united-continue-to-get-off-scot-free/ | 2019-11-12T10:55:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496665521.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20191112101343-20191112125343-00178.warc.gz | en | 0.9718 | 1,374 |

Flowers: August-December. Plant in sun or part shade. HxS 1mx1m
The slender reedmace is probably the best Typha for medium to large garden ponds. It has a compact, upright habit and produces slim brown pokers late in the season, which can be dried. These pokers rarely exceed 8cm/3″ in length. It is best planted in full sun in an aquatic basket. Reedmace will also grow in boggy conditions, but again we recommend you containerise the plant as it spreads.
Care & Maintenance.
Remove old foliage in spring and split plants every three or four years to maintain vigour. May be divided after flowering or collect and sow seed. If planting in water plant up to 25cm/10” deep.SKU: TYPLAX

GOP Unity Faces Test in New Congress
WASHINGTON — FOR Congress's new Republican majority, governing will never seem as easy as it does today. An agenda is in place. Public support is high. No popular programs have been slashed yet.
But starting tomorrow, when a Republican takes the Speaker's chair for the first time in 40 years, the hard work begins. To enact any of the Republican plan will require the alignment of competing power centers: not just Republican vs. Democrat, but also House vs. Senate and Congress vs. White House.
How the maneuvering comes out will help determine which party will win the White House in 1996 - and perhaps dominate the Washington political dynamic over the next decade.
The trickiest of the faults lines, interestingly, may emerge within the new Republican ruling majority, between the younger, populist members of the House and the more staid Republican senators, say GOP members and staff.
Although the ``Contract With America'' - the House Republican blueprint for legislative change, signed by all but six of the chamber's 230-member Republican majority - creates the appearance of a Republican juggernaut, the reality is more complicated.
Working right up to the opening gavel of the 104th Congress, Republican House and Senate leaders have been trying to iron out differences in their stances on a range of issues, such as the line-item veto, the balanced-budget constitutional amendment, and the plan to extend the application of laws to Congress.
Another point of debate is over whether a presidential line-item veto should extend to entitlements and tax cuts.
``Those are issues that are unresolved,'' says a Senate Republican aide. ``Clearly they are going to get a little more complicated than people might have anticipated.
Rep. Henry Hyde (R) of Illinois, incoming chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, said Sunday that the House's plan to require a three-fifths majority to approve a tax increase - included in the balanced-budget amendment - was ``not looked upon with much favor in the Senate.''
Sen. Orrin Hatch (R) of Utah, who will head the Senate Judiciary Committee, has said that such a provision could bring the defeat of the balanced-budget measure. As a constitutional amendment, both houses must approve it by a two-thirds majority, and Mr. Hatch does not believe he could muster enough Democratic support for the procedural change. Republicans will control the Senate by only a slim majority, 53 to 47.
Hatch also questions whether a proposed constitutional amendment to impose term limits on members of Congress has the two-thirds majority necessary to pass the Senate.
But the House also appears to be losing some steam on that issue, much to the consternation of outside groups agitating for term limits.
Another item in the contract that has produced debate between House and Senate Republicans is welfare reform.
The House contract calls for an end to all benefits after five years, with the states holding the option of a benefit cutoff after two years.
Republican senators and their aides have expressed concern that the House Republican plan - most famous for its suggestion that states consider orphanages for children from poor and troubled families - could leave innocent children homeless and hungry.
In fact, a leading senator on the issue, Nancy Kassebaum (R) of Kansas, who will head the Labor and Human Resources Committee, has put forth her own proposal that the federal government turn the welfare system over to the states.
In exchange, the federal government would take over the states' portion of payments for Medicaid, which provides health-care for the poor.
On environmental issues, observers see the ``anti-big-government'' House more eager than the Senate is to cut regulations designed to protect the environment.
Despite all the debate, though, the House will pass eight of the 10 provisions in the Contract With America and the Senate will pass six, predicts David Mason, a Congress-watcher with the conservative Heritage Foundation.
``The tendency in the Senate will be to water down rather than stop the agenda,'' Mr. Mason says.
``You will see senators who don't want to be left behind in the dust,'' says Ed Feulner, president of the Heritage Foundation, which held an orientation for the new members of Congress.
Mason also predicts that Congress will vote to eliminate two Cabinet departments from among five that the Heritage Foundation has identified as expendable: Commerce, Labor, Education, Housing and Urban Development, and Energy. Mason says it is symbolically important to shut down government agencies, even if most of their functions are moved to other agencies or passed down to the states.
If an agency is eliminated completely, he reasons, it will be more difficult to resuscitate it than if it is just cut back. | <urn:uuid:365e648e-8e81-4175-8e67-32acc7bb138f> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | https://www.csmonitor.com/1995/0103/03013.html | 2017-11-24T16:00:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934808254.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20171124142303-20171124162303-00195.warc.gz | en | 0.958701 | 961 |

In fact, I can confidently lay down as a principle that, when the functions of government are shared by several tribunals, the less numerous sooner or later acquire the greatest authority, if only because they are in a position to expedite affairs, and power thus naturally comes into their hands.
The above chart may not seem like a big deal to some but keep in mind the United States had never witnessed a year over year drop in nationwide home prices since the Great Depression.
What Are Freedom Checks?
It is a moral person endowed with certain faculties, active like the Sovereign and passive like the State, and capable of being resolved into other similar relations.
That was many of the big fights in our family. This particular existence implies assemblies, councils, power and deliberation and decision, rights, titles, and privileges belonging exclusively to the prince and making the office of magistrate more honourable in proportion as it is more troublesome.
Applying more frequent eligibility checks to ensure resources are spent only on those eligible for services.
The public force therefore needs an agent of its own to bind it together and set it to work under the direction of the general will, to serve as a means of communication between the State and the Sovereign, and to do for the collective person more or less what the union of soul and body does for man.
Finally, without departing directly from the end for which it was instituted, it may deviate more or less from it, according to the manner of its constitution. In government reside the intermediate forces whose relations make up that of the whole to the whole, or of the Sovereign to the State.

Their number one reason? If finally the prince should come to have a particular will more active than the will of the Sovereign, and should employ the public force in his hands in obedience to this particular will, there would be, so to speak, two Sovereigns, one rightful and the other actual, the social union would evaporate instantly, and the body politic would be dissolved.
Why would this occur? Exempted from the sugar tax are all kinds of milk, whether powdered or in liquid form, ground and 3-in-1 coffee packs, and percent natural fruit and vegetable juices, meal replacements and medically indicated drinks, as well as beverages sweetened with stevia or coco sugar.

Tragedy has struck Australia in the past weeks. Big, unstoppable, uncontrollable fires destroyed 750 houses (with over 210 people killed) in the state of Victoria, taking the lives of many people in the way. But along with tragic situations, new opportunities come to help those who are in need. Australian firm, 1:1 Architects have designed the House re-Growth Pod.
It is a permanent and cost effective housing unit which can assist in the rebuilding of the fire devastated town-ships of Victoria.
The robust pre-fabricated concrete structure has been designed to be built upon, but in the short term acts as a habitable starting point for the building of a new home. The units can be prefabricated, delivered and connected to services rapidly allowing families to begin the process of re-building without displacement from their communities.
The House Pod is not just relief housing it is a starting block for the re-growth of regional Victoria. Ecotec Build Solutions have already offered to construct a prototype.

We encounter folks every day who need us to stand in their presence as a caring disciple of Jesus. Only those blinded by pre-occupation with gratifying the ego fail to see. The 5th chapter of John tells us of one such moment in the life of Jesus. Waiting by the pool called Bethsaida was a man who had suffered from an illness for thirty-eight years. Jesus knew the man was waiting and hoping to benefit from a tradition which said the first one in the water when it was stirred up would be healed. In that setting Jesus asked what seems to be an absurd question. "Do you want to be made well?" (John 5:6) Actually, this question empty of presumption was the first step toward caring for the needs of this suffering man.
Too often we pray according to perceived assumptions instead of a person's needs. Years ago when I started offering what I called "A Service of Prayers for Healing," I learned the value of asking those who came for prayer a simple question, "How can I pray for you?" I discovered through this experience that what I assumed was not always on the heart of those who came for prayer. And another thing I am still in the process of learning has to do with asking God, "How do You want me to pray for this person?" and then listening instead of charging forth on my own. I always remember the first time I did this. A woman came into the office whose marriage was falling down around her. Before praying aloud I quietly asked God for help and then in what might have seemed like an unproductive silence I listened until I heard the word, "Peace." Her response to my praying that day assured me God had hit the nail on the head.
As one who is nothing more than a student in the classroom of prayer, I really do want God to be at the center of my praying. We are surely alike in that desire. It is not always easy. It often takes more time than I want to commit. But, Jesus, did teach us to pray, "...Thy will be done..." which makes it more than worthwhile to spend the time and effort needed to learn that will before praying. | <urn:uuid:b8c70a2a-c654-419c-bba1-f9cf0ec08a92> | CC-MAIN-2018-30 | http://billjourneynotes.blogspot.com/2016/04/before-praying.html | 2018-07-17T07:30:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-30/segments/1531676589618.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20180717070721-20180717090721-00541.warc.gz | en | 0.985131 | 450 |
Man murders aunt in front of her daughters, tries to kill himself later in Delhi’s Okhla
The 25-year-old nephew allegedly stabbed the woman to death with a knife in front of her two daughters after she resisted his advances.delhi Updated: May 14, 2017 07:30 IST
A 32-year-old woman was allegedly killed by her husband’s nephew in south Delhi’s Tehkhand village near Okhla on Saturday afternoon.
The 25-year-old nephew allegedly stabbed the woman to death with a knife in front of her two daughters after she resisted his advances. He then allegedly attempted suicide by consuming poison and stabbing himself with the same knife, police said.
The woman died on the spot. The critically injured man was found near the Govindpuri Metro station and taken to hospital, said police.
Some onlookers informed the police. He was admitted to AIIMS Trauma Centre and underwent a surgery. His condition is critical, police said.
A senior police officer said that the murder came to light around 1 pm when the victim’s neighbour informed the police about the crime. A police team arrived and rushed the injured woman to ESI hospital where she was declared brought dead.
“Doctors told us that she had a fatal stab wound in her abdomen,” said the officer. A case of murder and suicide attempt was registered after the police learnt that after murdering the woman her nephew attempted suicide in the same room. The FIR was registered on the statement of the woman’s daughters, who were eyewitnesses to the crime. | <urn:uuid:6a8c59a8-7ea9-4161-a011-8333e02e6935> | CC-MAIN-2017-39 | http://www.hindustantimes.com/delhi-news/man-murders-aunt-in-front-of-her-daughters-tries-to-kill-himself-later-in-delhi-s-okhla/story-aqwPnMVUmOHFdt9gn6XSQJ.html | 2017-09-24T13:12:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-39/segments/1505818690016.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20170924115333-20170924135333-00456.warc.gz | en | 0.988059 | 331 |

SAS Visual Analytics: Getting Triple Value from Your Dates
You always need ways to save time and effort when doing any task. If you are a long time SAS user then you realize how easy it is to mix a format with a date values to save some effort later. However, if you are new to SAS Visual Analytics or to the SAS way-of-things, you may not realize the treasure trove available with a few simple clicks and format. Let’s explore how I used one variable to create multiple data items.
It is One, But It is Many
If you have one SAS datetime variable in your dataset then you have every other date and time format. For this website usage report, I wanted to show the date and time several ways. For instance, some charts show the arrival visit by month, others by day of week, and some show the average arrival by hour for each day. Again – all this data with one variable.
This particular report allows the user to compare the arrival across countries (see the section filter at top). The pick list on the side allows the users to select the day so they can compare the arrival days by time. I was inspired by the social media articles I have seen where the author is advising you on the best time to send a tweet. I like trends – so I used a line chart and then added the country so the user could see how the pattern shifts based on where you are in the world. For instance, in the US little happens between 2 AM and 7 AM probably because everyone is asleep. [See also: Avoiding an Epic Fail with Your Data Visualization]
I like having the pick list of days so the user can zero in on the days of most interest. Seven lines displayed at once makes it more difficult to zero in on a particular trend. Notice that the pick list also shows the percentage by day. I am comparing Friday (the most popular day) to the less popular Sunday. The usage time shifts for these days. Looks like more users are active during the day on Friday and on Sunday more are active during the evening.
If users clicks on a point, the table filters the values to see exactly what values contributed to that point. However, my purpose was to show the original date variable on the same page with the other values. I’m not sure if the table adds that much value other than learning that most users find the website using Google at 1 PM on Fridays. [See also What I Learned About SAS VA Over the Summer]
Creating Multiple Date Variables
If you are thinking you need to add more date variables to the source dataset – you don’t. All of the date and time variables are based on one variable. Let’s look at this example. I have a datetime variable called Arrival Date (or Arrival Date (Original) shown below), which contains the day and exact minute the user visited the site. I want the following data items: Arrival Date, Month, Month (Name), Day of Week, and Arrival Hour. From this one variable, I can get most of the other data items – save the Month (Name) one. We’ll talk about that one in a moment.
It’s a simple method – right-click the Arrival Date data item and select Duplicate Data Item. In the following figure, you can see an example of changing the name and format.
Click the new data item called Arrival Date (1) so you can see it’s Properties in the bottom left pane. Then you can see 3 examples of what Format values I would have selected for different results. Notice that some of the Format Types provide extra choices in the drop-down list. For instance, for the Arrival Hour data item, when you select Time as the format you have multiple ways to show the time. I selected the “6 AM” so the data aggregates by hour.
When You Just Need the Month Name
In the above method, you see how a single variable can change into multiple value with a format. However, I also wanted a Month data item but without the year. This is an example report with data from 2002. This makes the data seem to old but what really happened was someone messed up the calculation and managed to change 2012 to 2002. <whistles … > Rather than show the year, I just want a month. To get a month name, you need a date variable not a datetime variable. Let’s use our existing variable as the basis for this new calculated item.
After creating a new calculated item, the New Calculated Item window appears. Do the following:
- Rename the data item. I called mine Arrival Month.
- Drag the Arrival Date data item to the work area. This is the datetime variable.
- Drag the DatePart operator on the data item. This will extract the date portion of the value.
- At this point, SAS VA complains that there is a type mismatch because it wants a number result not a date value result.
To address this complaint, just select the Date instead of Numeric as Result type.
For your new data item, again you just need to change the format. See how handy these things are? You may recall that when you had the datetime variable as the basis for the format, Month was not even offered as a choice. Also notice that the several other formats are available that were not there previously.
Now you can select the way you want your data item to appear and you are done. Since the date is the basis for the variable – you can ensure a proper sort on your values. Cool huh?
If you already have a data item in use and to try the change the format, SAS VA will object with a message like “A data item format cannot be changed. There are calculated items using the data item” appears. Oh my … sounds quite ominous. It is saying that a calculation is using this value in the format that it is shown and changing that format may cause the calculation to break.
To fix this situation, duplicate the data item, change its format and use it in your report. Obviously you don’t want any existing calculations to be impacted since that would just create more work for you.
With all these quick fixes … you have extra time to drink more coffee – it’s the only way to show your co-workers how effortless everything is for you. 😉

This paper provides details of the South Capitol Street project, a case study in urban sustainability. The planning and design process for the project was geared to achieving sustainable infrastructure and involved regular meetings of concerned agencies, selection of multidisciplinary consultant teams, regular briefings of politicians at the municipal and federal levels, and comprehensive public engagement. Major thesis of the paper, demonstrated in the case study, is that early collaboration between planners, designers, and engineers, with a mix of disciplines, and steady coordination with political interests, is crucial to urban sustainability. Washington DC, although the capitol of the United States, has been long divided by out-dated infrastructure planned and built at a time when the explicit goal was to clear out blight. Little thought was given to neighborhoods marginalized in the wake of such building. In the new millennium the southeast and southwest quadrants of the city are poised to be redeveloped as thriving urban nodes, and are among the last few places where major redevelopment can occur. However, the existing transportation infrastructure is deteriorated, performs poorly, fails to provide logical connections, and fences off prime developable parcels. In addition, this infrastructure is a barrier to access to the city's unique environmental asset, the Anacostia River. As one of the top ten polluted waters in the United States, it must daily absorb untreated urban pollution and runoff from roads and development in its watershed. It is in need of immediate attention. The Anacostia Waterfront Initiative (AWI) is a unique partnership of federal and local agencies and is a significant revitalization effort for Washington DC. The AWI Framework Plan laid out specific ways that the corridor could be revitalized, including sustainable infrastructure. Improving the health of the river, rebuilding the landscape, and creating vibrant, sustainable communities will contribute to economic development and environmental quality that will be enjoyed by all of the city's residents. South Capitol Street project is underway and part of the AWI. The award-winning South Capitol Street project was planned, designed and will be constructed using several sustainability principles. As a piece of sustainable transportation infrastructure it will address the new context for the corridor while meeting the triple bottom line. Among other innovations, the facilities are designed to treat stormwater runoff onsite and low-impact design features are integrated into the streetscape (environmental). The District Department of Transportation has developed new standards and specifications for the AWI area that include permeable pavers, planting zones, solar-powered lights, and maintenance practices that improve environmental quality. The timing of the infrastructure improvements is carefully coordinated with developers to ensure minimum disruption to the completed facilities by future development and to maximize service to new development (financial). In addition to environmental benefits to the community, project includes training and outreach centers in the project neighborhood (community). | <urn:uuid:7831aace-3873-4280-bac8-510fe1310442> | CC-MAIN-2021-17 | https://ebooks.iospress.nl/publication/29023 | 2021-04-23T07:18:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-17/segments/1618039568689.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20210423070953-20210423100953-00565.warc.gz | en | 0.950684 | 556 |
Football is a game of stories.
After a flawless performance that included a marvelous penalty save against Partizan Belgrade, Lukasz Fabianski’s Arsenal story is set to run a little longer.
Arsene Wenger’s consistent faith in Fabianski suggests there has to be a good goalkeeper in there somewhere. For the first time in a long, long time he showed it.
In truth the Pole’s performance was not extraordinary, but his reaction on saving a Cleo’s weak second penalty revealed a man that has clearly been feeling the tension. That Kieran Gibbs, a player who often sits alongside Fabianski on the bench, so whole-heartedly celebrated with the goalkeeper gave an insight into how the rest of the squad may have be feeling about his peculiar predicament.
Prior to Fabianki’s penalty the Arsenal boys put in a rather Arsenal performance.
Sebastien Squillaci, paired here with Johan Djourou for the first time, had a scattered opening quarter of an hour and Partizan Belgrade looked lively, creating a couple of very decent opportunities. But then Andrey Arshavin, linking well with a quick-thinking Jack Wilshere, opened the scoring with a classy finish.
After a difficult start our team began to assert their authority but then Denilson, given a rare start, bizarrely handled in the area and gifted the home side an opportunity to get back into the game. Cleo, in stark comparison to his second penalty, coolly slid the ball home.
Arshavin continued to bubble along while Marouane Chamakh and Wilshere gave him good support. Arsenal always looked the more likely team to score, even if Alex Song had another inconsistent game in the heart of midfield.
When Arshavin slid in Chamakh and the Moroccan fouled it looked like game over, but the Russian missed from spot with his attempt to go down the middle. While the damage was not done directly, Marko Jovanovic’s red card created much space in the Partizan defence and it was only a matter of time before the breakthrough came.
In the end it was Chamakh who got the goal, albeit via two headers from an excellent Tomas Rosicky cross, and Squillaci made it three with his first for the club soon after. The manager looked bemused that he had the audacity to do something as simple as head in from a corner kick.
Then came Fabianski’s moment. Gibbs fouled, Cleo stepped up to give Partizan hope and Fabianski intervened. And then, to prove it wasn’t a fluke, he tipped wide another effort from the home side soon after.
Fabianski still has much to do to prove he is as good as his manager said it was but this was a step in the right direction. With Manuel Almunia injured and Chelsea approaching soon, it could turn out to be a step taken at just the right time.
His story, and indeed Arsenal’s, will go on.

The owner of Edwards of Conwy posted ghost town pictures of the historic town's High Street saying "it's tough" even for those businesses still open.
Ieuan Edwards first opened a shop on the street nearly 40 years ago but has never known a period like this.
On Thursday he stood outside the shop and took pictures up and down the deserted road.
While stores like his can remain open, non-essential shops have had to close along with pubs, restaurants cafes.
He said people in the area have done a fantastic job sticking by the rules and while he urged everyone to "hold-on" he said it was time for the start of a controlled re-opening.
He tweeted: "I’ve been working on Conwy High St for 38 years and I’ve never seen anything like it.
"Thursday afternoon trading, allegedly.
"Even when you’re open it’s tough. Heaven help the businesses that continue to be closed.
Wales's case numbers per 100,000 have fallen in recent weeks, going from 650 in December to 130 now.
Conwy's current infection rate is around 100.
The butcher was one of the first to fully implement stringent Covid safety measures - bringing in screens, hand-sanitiser, and set places for customers to stand and safely socially distance.
Ieuan said: "We are most fortunate that the residents of Conwy county have stuck to the rules, the current very low rates of Covid-19 infection is testament to this fact.
"This was the correct thing to do.

"However, I feel that we now need to consider a controlled return to some form of normality now that the vaccination program is up and running.”
The next Welsh Government review of the existing Covid restrictions takes place on February 19.
Under alert level criteria the case numbers are now in the Level 2 range with shops and hospitality reopening but Covid hospitalisation rates remain high.
The positive news is that vaccinations levels are rapidly increasing - passing the 520,000 mark. There are though concerns over the impact of new variants in the UK.

Once you begin to hear your cables, you can’t unhear them. I played for 18 years without hearing my cables. Then, with the right amp, the right pickups, in the right room, I heard my cables. And I didn’t like what I heard.
So I compared cable brands. That made some difference. Then I compared cable lengths. That made a huge difference. The cable only disappeared if it was shorter than 10 feet. But that’s not practical.
So I bought the Redeemer. Now I can use whatever cable I want, at any length I want. And I can’t go back, this thing has become a foundational part of my tone.

La danse éclectique
If you don’t already know Les Ballets Jazz de Montréal, the company’s name is sufficient clue to its unique approach to dance: eclectic and athletic, infusing a multitude of styles and cultures and drawing from an international cadre of choreographers. This weekend the troupe performs a program of three diverse works at Mass MoCA in collaboration with Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival.
“Night Box,” an urban pas de deux created by Canadian choreographer Wen Wei Wang, combines ballet with street dance. “Zero In On,” by Spain’s Cayetano Soto, features a score by Philip Glass. And Israeli-American Barak Marshall’s “Harry” uses a musical palette that ranges from folk songs to big-band swing to Balkan beatboxing.
March 2 at 8 p.m. and March 3 at 3 p.m., $25-$39 ($10 for kids under 16), Hunter Center, Mass MoCA, North Adams, (413) 662-2111, massmoca.org. | <urn:uuid:5fe814f6-34bb-4da4-966d-a88bf2b41983> | CC-MAIN-2015-18 | http://www.valleyadvocate.com/2013/02/25/la-danse-clectique/ | 2015-04-26T11:38:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-18/segments/1429246654292.99/warc/CC-MAIN-20150417045734-00152-ip-10-235-10-82.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.843669 | 236 |
