by Geoffrey Grinder, Now The End Begins:
Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats responded by saying emerging technology like deepfakes pose “a major threat to the United States and it’s something the intelligence community needs to be restructured to address.”
For many of you reading this article, you are probably not familiar with the term ‘deepfake’, but from the sound of it, you can most likely figure it out. A deepfake is the combining of real images of people with real voices, then processing it through very powerful AI, with the end result being a video of a real person in their own voice saying and doing things they have never said or done. If that doesn’t terrify you, it’s only because you haven’t stopped to consider the possibility of you being the star of a deepfake production.
“And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.” Revelation 13:15 (KJV)
This sin-cursed world is heading at breakneck speed to its date with destiny where the armies of Antichrist will meet to do battle with the King of Kings and His redeemed army on white horses in the Battle of Armageddon at the Second Coming, after the born again Church is removed in the Pretribulation Rapture. But along the way, you can absolutely expect to see things you never thought possible.
“But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.” Daniel 12:4 (KJV)
Our love affair with technology is a funny thing. We speak into a box we hold in our hands, and never give it a second thought how on earth it is possible to look into that box to see and hear the person on the other end. AI is almost at a pointnow where the 2D imagery is getting ready to step out of the box and become 3D. And as we hurtle headlong into this scary and uncertain future, it’s time to get out of the box and back into The Book.
‘Deepfake’ videos that can make anyone say anything worry U.S. intelligence agencies like DARPA
FROM FOX 5 NY: A video of a seemingly real news anchor, reading a patently false script saying things like the “subways always run on time” and “New York City pizza is definitely not as good as Chicago” gives a whole new meaning to the term fake news.
But that fake news anchor is a real example of a fascinating new technology with frightening potential uses. I was stunned watching the Frankenstein mix of Steve Lacy’s voice coming out of what looks like my mouth.
THE VIDEO IS WHAT IS KNOWN AS A DEEPFAKE: A COMPUTER-GENERATED CLIP USING AN ALGORITHM THAT LEARNED MY FACE SO WELL THAT IS CAN RECREATE IT WITH REMARKABLE ACCURACY.
My generated face can be swapped onto someone else’s head (like that original video with Steve) or it can be used to make me look like I’m saying things I’ve never said. For this piece, I worked with Lyu and his team at the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences at the University at Albany.
For many people, seeing is believing. “I would say it’s not 100% true anymore,” Lyu said.
Their deepfake research is funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA, which acts as the research and development wing of the U.S. Defense Department. They’re working to develop a set of tools the government and public can use to detect and combat the rise of deep fakes.
“What we’re doing here is providing a kind of detection method to authenticate these videos,” Lyu said.
What’s more, deepfakes technically aren’t that hard to make. All it takes is a few seconds of video of someone, a powerful computer, and some code, which Lyu and his team don’t release publicly.
“The real danger, I believe, is the fact that the line between what is real and what is fake is blurred because of the existence of this kind of technology,” Lyu said. | <urn:uuid:af65c1b9-7990-4a39-a057-7e827ac95304> | CC-MAIN-2021-04 | https://www.sgtreport.com/2019/05/seeing-is-no-longer-believing-as-deepfake-videos-created-with-ai-makes-fantasy-indistinguishable-from-reality-and-thats-a-huge-problem/ | 2021-01-25T03:59:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-04/segments/1610703564029.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20210125030118-20210125060118-00751.warc.gz | en | 0.952263 | 956 |
Building a Culture of SafetyHigh Profile, October 2016Having spent the vast majority of my career in the life science and healthcare sectors, I am fortunate to have gained a deep understanding of the special requirements and approach that these projects require of our industry. When it comes to safety at these facilities, whether new construction or renovations to existing facilities, “zero failures” is the bar by which these clients measure success.
Safety does not happen by chance. Planning, communication and commitment are required by all participants. A truly safe project is one where the project is planned not only for the safety of the workers constructing it or the occupants during a renovation, but for the safety of all who use, operate and maintain it throughout its lifetime.
One of my previous clients, EMD Serono, is at the forefront of such efforts. On one major ground-up project, they engaged the entire design, construction, and facilities team in a custom-created version of Harvard’s School of Public Health program “Safety in Design and Construction, A Life Cycle Approach.” The program highlighted how thinking differently about safety can impact the way the entire team operates. For example, the idea of using parapets wherever possible not only made safety for the roofing crews easier to manage, it left behind a condition that would be safer for the maintenance of the building’s rooftop equipment and negate the need for tie off in most locations. Throughout the project, construction safety and maintenance, as well as aesthetics, function and cost, were constantly considered in the decision process.
EMD Serono’s efforts paid off. The program created a “culture of safety” within the project leadership team and this mindset was instilled in every project participant, subcontractor, supplier, and worker. The team developed an entire program to encourage, enhance, and ensure the project would be safe for all. Worker orientations, meetings, training, and incentive programs were all part of this larger effort to establish and maintain a safety culture. The program was a success – hundreds of thousands of worker hours were completed with zero lost time accidents recorded at project completion.
The open communication and team atmosphere that results from such an extensive safety program is contagious. A sense of community is formed on the jobsite – from the laborer cleaning, to the highly skilled specialty mechanics. Beyond just safety, the entire team feels invested in the quality of the project.
The “culture of safety” mentality has changed the way I do business permanently. Whether a life science, healthcare, corporate or academic client, “zero failure” is still my measure for success for every client and on every project.

Late (but still unofficial) results show that Denver voters approved an ordinance to begin the decriminalization of psilocybin, better known as Magic Mushrooms or ‘Shrooms.
The “Yes” vote had been down by about four percent in overnight returns, but the latest results from the City and County of Denver municipal election returns show the pro-decriminalization vote is now leading by just over 1%.
With 176,661 votes tallied, “Yes” for decriminalization now leads 50.56% to 49.44% opposed, a lead of just under 2,000 votes.
Denver will continue to receive overseas and military ballots prior to official certification on May 16. Those votes are not expected to change the overall “Yes” verdict.
Initiative 301 asked voters if psilocybin should be decriminalized in quantities in accordance with personal use for citizens the age of 21 or over. The language of the bill reads:
The petition points out a study which suggests the use of Magic Mushrooms is “associated with decreased risk of opioid abuse” and the Global Drug Survey 2017 which dubbed psilocybin “the safest of all recreational drugs.”
As of now, it looks like Denver has become the first city in the US on track to decriminalize a psychedelic substance. | <urn:uuid:de08a866-8ec8-4b30-89b0-63b6abdd93e3> | CC-MAIN-2021-31 | https://5mag.net/news/denver-decriminalize-magic-mushrooms/ | 2021-08-04T00:35:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-31/segments/1627046154486.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20210803222541-20210804012541-00638.warc.gz | en | 0.946749 | 274 |
Let me introduce myself, my name is Ryan and I am a Christian. But let me unpack that statement for you. I grew up calling myself a Christian, but I never actually walked in it or a better term, “practiced it”. See, I knew of God, and at one point I “prayed the sinner’s prayer” and figured that was it. I figured I was “good.” But little did I know what it meant to be a Christian. What it meant to call myself a follower of Christ. What it meant to be adopted in. Little did I know the power of the Cross. The magnitude of His blood. That He gave His life willingly, so that I could learn to give my life as well.
So, when I say that I am a Christian, I don’t mean that I simply go to Church on Sunday, or that I involve myself in a men’s group, or that I practice social justice in the name of God and in the name of goodness. It means that I have decided that God is in fact who He says He is. Creator. Which makes me His creation, and through Love; He has given me a choice to choose Him. Which means that I choose to follow His plan, and His plan for me was that Christ died so that I may live.
Live to do what though? Live to write a blog? Or to be YouTube famous? Or to live in such a way that when the day comes, and I am standing before the Creator as the created and He looks at me and requires an account of what I was given. On that day I want to be able to produce evidence of the gifts I have been given as having produced fruit here on this earth that is everlasting.
Which may seem like an obvious thing. But is it really? Something that God has been pushing on me is the understanding of the Cross itself. The power of the Cross is the only real power that has the ability to change the heart of man. This power has the ultimate ability to grant freedom for me and for you from sin and death. Not a literal death per say, but an eternal death. Because we have all sinned. And we all need forgiveness. That forgiveness only comes through Christ who died and from Christ who rose.
That is redemption at it’s finest, but do I make that my boldest statement? Or do I go and offer to tell people about God and His goodness, but fail to bring the importance and the need for repentance. Am I willing to stop and pray for someone or offer a lending hand in the natural, but fail to offer a needed hand in the eternal?
You see I have been challenged lately as a Christian. Challenged to look at myself and ask the hard question “Do I allow the Cross of Christ to lead me through my life?” Or do I do what others in the past have done and say that I receive the sacrifice of Christ, but I will go on living the life I want to live at my discretion, and Jesus can take the back seat.
This is the journey I’m on. This is what it means to be a Christian. And this is who I am. I write this with an effort to convey a simple message. That Christ, crucified and resurrected should be the leading factor in my life, in your life, in the life of the church. Because that is what it means to be a Christian! | <urn:uuid:0de865c7-f252-4eac-b14e-73bee50695d8> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://www.ywamhonolulu.com/i-am-a-christian/ | 2019-11-14T05:59:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496668004.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20191114053752-20191114081752-00254.warc.gz | en | 0.975706 | 720 |
We are traveling to Lyon in two weeks and need some recommendations on which restaurants we should keep and which ones we should forego for possibly a next trip.
We are in town for 3 days for a friend's wedding. We have a welcome lunch on Tuesday and the wedding festivities happen on Wednesday noon, so Tuesday and Wednesday meals are taken cared of.
These are the restaurants on our list, and wanted to get a better sense of which restaurants we should definitely visit.
Michelin Starred Restos:
Le Mere Brazier
Cafe des Federations
La Voute Chez Lea
Magali et Martin
Brasserie Leon de Lyon
Tentative restaurant itinerary is as follows:
Monday Lunch: Le Mere Brazier
Monday Dinner: L' Alexandrin
Tuesday Dinner: Tetedoie or Chez Lea
Wednesday Dinner: Café des Federations or Chez Hugon
Any feedback would be appreciated!
Have you read the other Lyon threads? I'm going to suggest you will not want dinner on Wednesday evening. At least not what either Café des Federations or Chez Hugon serve. Their food is traditional Lyonnaise, and very substantial. I'm guessing you'll be eating substantially at lunch, as well. If I were booking dinner after a "wedding lunch" in Lyon, I'd choose a brasserie like Léon de Lyon where I could order just soup and a salad if that's all I'm feeling and not get looked at cross-eyed.
If you have lunch Monday at Mère Brazier, I can't imagine being hungry for a substantial dinner, but maybe that's just me.
Our favorite meal last visit was lunch at Daniel et Denise. | <urn:uuid:c619d190-1d0b-4e9a-b32b-c2ee9cc989e0> | CC-MAIN-2015-11 | http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/922281 | 2015-03-02T11:37:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-11/segments/1424936462751.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20150226074102-00024-ip-10-28-5-156.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.936342 | 357 |

Daylong Nonviolent Occupation of “Wall St West”
Thousands Demand End to Bank Evictions and Foreclosures, End to Corporate Personhood
San Francisco – On January 20, 2012 (J20), thousands of San Francisco Bay Area residents occupied San Francisco’s Financial District as part of the Occupy Wall St West actions to demand that banks end predatory evictions and foreclosures and that corporations lose the rights of personhood. Protestors targeted banks and corporations that have damaged Bay Area communities, homes, education, environment, livelihood, and democracy.
Participants considered the Occupy Wall Street West (OWSW) J20 action a success. Thousands of people from every sector of the Bay Area braved cold and rain to stage dozens of direct actions and events in San Francisco’s Financial District, in front of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, and in disrupting the City Hall auction of bank-foreclosed homes.
One group kicked off the day of action dressed as giant squids at Goldman Sachs, which Rolling Stone journalist Matt Taibbi refers to as “a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money”.
Protestors shut down Wells Fargo Corporate Headquarters on Montgomery Street by chaining themselves to the doors. Police arrested at least eleven protestors who demanded an end to predatory bank evictions and foreclosures.
Demonstrators also occupied Bank of America’s main branch at Montgomery and California streets, which the activists blockaded and shut down for nine hours. At Citicorp’s 1 Sansome office, protestors staged a mock foreclosure, piling furniture and moving boxes into the revolving door at the main entrance.
A half block away, clergy and religious leaders marched around the banks blowing the horns of Jericho. Two flash mobs performed throughout the day and a brass band a numerous poets and bans performed on a pedal powered sound system.
Iraq Veterans Against the War engaged in guerrilla theater, detaining fellow protestors on suspicion of “terrorism” in a protest against an unconstitutional provision of the National Defense Authorization Act, recently passed by the U.S. Congress and signed by President Obama, one provision of which permits the arrest and indefinite detention of US citizens anywhere in the world, including the US.
At Bechtel, 45 Beale Street, four activists, including Father Louis Vitale, read a list of numerous charges of war profiteering against the corporation in the building lobby.
Occupy Oakland’s mobile music bus led several marches through the Financial District. One BofA branch was transformed into the roving People’s Food Bank of America at 1 Market Street where a hot, nutritious, organic meal sustained freezing Occupiers. According to a mainstream press source, a presumably well-employed passerby told the mysterious amorphous black blob that oozed around the financial district to go get a job. An Occupier deftly replied, “The occupation is our job.”
Meanwhile, at the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, Move To Amend activists held a teach-in featuring author Ted Nace and the local head of the National Lawyers Guild, drawing several hundred citizens who expressed their outrage at the US embrace of corporate personhood. As “Occupy the Courts” wrapped up, the group presented an oversized printed copy of the proposed 28th Amendment to Cathy Catterson, Executive of the Ninth US Circuit and Court of Appeals.
Then over at Occupy the Auction, Occupy Bernal protestors and supporters got the news that their planned protest at the weekly foreclosure auctions led Wells Fargo to postpone a foreclosure auction of the property rented by Bernal neighbors Maria and Washington Davila. Maria Davila and other foreclosure fighters thanked the crowd of about two hundred protestors for this first important step toward stopping banks from their predatory evictions and foreclosures throughout San Francisco.
Protestors stormed Fortress Investments to demand a halt to predatory equity scams where landlords and banks buy apartment buildings intending to remove rent-controlled units from the market so they can replace them with market-rate tenants. Other protestors occupied busses running on Market and Mission Streets to demand free transportation for youth.
Labor activists put foam in a fountain at the Grand Hyatt at Union Square to protest the anti-labor practices of the hotel chain, calling for a boycott in support of workers who are fighting for fair contracts at all three San Francisco Hyatts. Protestors led by the Filipino Community Center, with participation from the Chinese Progressive Association of San Francisco, occupied the Citi Apartments office to fight for workers’ stolen wages.
A march ended at Van Ness Avenue at Geary where hundreds of protestors had a rainy standoff with the SFPD. Police pepper sprayed a dozen protestors. More than a hundred occupiers gained entrance to the Cathedral Hill Hotel at 1001 Van Ness Ave. where they held a housewarming party and occupied the hotel until the early hours of the following morning. A site of labor disputes, the hotel sits vacant while 10,000 homeless people are living on the streets of San Francisco.
Occupy Wall St West — a broad alliance of occupy and allied organizations and individuals had agreed that all actions would remain nonviolent and would not include damage to property. An incident of property damage by individuals who were not part of Occupy Wall St West occurred as an early evening march passed by on Van Ness Ave. The march immediately stopped and organizers and participants made sure no other such damage occurred.
The Occupy Wall Street West action involved dozens of affinity groups (people self-organized into groups to participate in the occupation) and over 55 labor, environmental, student, tenant, homeowner, arts, LGBT, peace, and community organizations targeting specific banks and corporations.
The January 20, 2012, Occupy Wall St West actions were the culmination of actions in which hundreds of protestors successfully shut down bank branches in the Excelsior, Mission, and Bernal neighborhoods. The Occupy Movement will continue to build a strategic mass movement asserting the power of the 99% for economic justice and a better world.
To subscribe to the press list or obtain photos and video of the actions: www.occupywallstwest.org/press
Occupy SF strives to address and confront the injustices in our society by giving voice to the 99% through direct actions. OSF is simultaneously creating a new culture based on direct democracy, diversity, sustainable communities, and respect for all peoples and the environment.
Occupy SF Housing is a coalition which includes OccupySF, SF Tenants Union, Housing Rights Committee of SF, Causa Justa: Just Cause, Eviction Defense Collaborative, ACCE, Homes Not Jails, Occupy Bernal, and other community groups and individuals. The coalition came together to stop banks from evicting tenants and homeowners through foreclosures or through their partnerships with real estate speculators.

DENSO’s Highly Standardized Automotive Climate Control Unit can be used across vehicle models; smaller size means more leg room for car buyers
SOUTHFIELD, Mich. - DENSO received the 2015 Automotive News Premier Automotive Suppliers’ Contribution to Excellence (PACE) Award for its industry-first standardized Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC) unit that is 20 percent smaller and lighter than conventional units. The HVAC system can be used in a wide variety of vehicle lines and models, resulting in cost-savings for car makers. Traditionally, HVAC units are designed and tailored to each vehicle model. DENSO’s new unit is unique in that it provides the opportunity to reduce the scope of multiple designs and complexity from customization. The newly standardized heating and cooling system reduces CO2 emissions through improved vehicle efficiency from the overall reduction in mass and electrical power consumption.
“This recognition confirms DENSO’s continued leadership in innovation and our ability to meet the needs of automakers and car buyers,” said Jason Hendry, director of Climate Control at DENSO International America, Inc. “Using DENSO’s wide ranging design and manufacturing capabilities in the thermal space, we developed the industry’s first standardized automotive climate control module that can more easily fit into different instrument panels across different makes and models. The lighter and more efficient design adds value for automakers, and the smaller size allows for more legroom and interior space for driver and passengers.”

This can be a “minimally invasive” method that relieves the pressure off the nerves with the insertion of the metallic gadget in between the spinous procedures of the vertebrae. The insertion of this gadget distracts the two bones which improves the House between the two vertebrae, thus generating additional place with the nerves which have been in between the two bones. There is absolutely no bone elimination In this particular procedure and so There is certainly significantly less postoperative pain than the usual laminectomy.
When this ailment exists, the bone that is compressing the nerve root is taken out along with the herniated disc. Usually the quantity of bone that is definitely eliminated will not be sufficient to weaken the backbone. All the disc isn't taken off. Only the disc that is certainly right compressing the nerve root (the “leaked” portion) is taken out. Just after getting rid of the herniated disc, the smaller gap within the back on the annulus fibrosus is identified; if you can find any added disc fragments that are threatening to come back out the disc Place, they are also eradicated.

Pain motivates the person to withdraw from harming cases, to shield a weakened system element although it heals, and to prevent comparable experiences in the future. | <urn:uuid:6e94f1cb-5f64-419a-8c72-473b0c3bbe8a> | CC-MAIN-2018-17 | http://jeraldj.blogocial.com/5-Simple-Statements-About-posture-correction-Explained-3440074 | 2018-04-27T02:21:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-17/segments/1524125948950.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20180427021556-20180427041556-00074.warc.gz | en | 0.931169 | 876 |
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un thanked the South’s outgoing president Moon Jae-in for his efforts to improve inter-Korean relations, Pyongyang and Seoul said Friday, in an unexpected move following signs the isolated state could resume nuclear testing.
The North has carried out more than a dozen weapons tests so far this year, the latest one just last week—a short-range launch that state media claimed would enhance the “efficiency in the operation of tactical nukes.”
The dovish Moon held three summits with Kim and helped facilitate talks between former US president Donald Trump and the North Korean leader.
But Kim and Trump’s nuclear negotiations ended in failure in 2019 due to disagreements on sanctions relief and what North Korea would be willing to give up in return.
Since then, Pyongyang has labeled Moon a “meddlesome mediator,” blown up a $15-million joint liaison office north of the border that was financed by Seoul, and last month test-fired an ICBM at full range for the first time since 2017.
But on Friday, Pyongyang’s official KCNA news agency said Kim and Moon agreed that inter-Korean ties would improve if both sides “make tireless efforts with hope,” despite “the difficult situation so far.”
In his letter, Kim also said his “historic” summits with Moon gave the people “hope for the future,” the KCNA report added.
The North Korean leader “appreciated the pains and effort taken by Moon Jae-in for the great cause of the nation until the last days of his term of office,” the report said, adding the duo’s letter exchange was an “expression of their deep trust.”
Seoul’s presidential Blue House confirmed the two had exchanged friendly letters, adding Moon told Kim that despite the “disappointing moments,” together they have made a “clear step” in “changing the fate of the Korean peninsula”.
Moon also told Kim in his letter that their inter-Korean summits should become the “foundation for unification,” and that he hoped for the swift resumption of the stalled dialogue between North Korea and the United States. | <urn:uuid:8495d402-2d51-4578-9011-f9d2c19f9eeb> | CC-MAIN-2022-49 | https://www.manilastandard.net/news/314223104/korean-heads-exchange-friendly-letters.html | 2022-11-29T12:22:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-49/segments/1669446710691.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20221129100233-20221129130233-00828.warc.gz | en | 0.970808 | 477 |
Discussion in 'Suicidal Thoughts and Feelings' started by I-Died-In-My-Dream, Dec 21, 2009.
Hey try calling someone to go with you go shopping get out of the space your in. Listen to some of your favorite music a movie that makes you laugh. Call crisis talk to someone there that will listen and get you through until these thoughts go. Talk to anyone a teacher a relative a friend but don't isolate yourself You came here that is good now reach out a bit more hearing a real voice just seems to put things in prospective I hope you can remain strong and continue to reach out okay. Call your GP the hospital anyone take care
First thing is to get out of where you are. Go for a walk, a drive but get out. You need to change things so that you can also change your thoughts and urges even if only for a little while.
If you have a friend that you are comfortable with, give them a call. Someone that you know you can relax with. Go for a coffee, or even to walk around a mall. If you need to talk about it, then grab a coffee or a pop and sit and talk.
But above all else, if you feel like you could be in real danger of attempting then please call a crisis center, the police or the ER. Call and talk about exactly where your thoughts are and what you have planned.
Dont try to fight this alone. Keep posting that to can be a distraction. Or go through the forums and read threads that you can relate to. Send random visitor messages to members you've never talked to before. Go to coffehouse(?) there are so many silly things there to distract you. Just please dont sit and let the thoughts take hold. Be strong and please be safe.
i agree with the above posts. Get out of the place you are in now and change your environment. Go somewhere that you are not alone. Sometimes a change of scenery can stop those thoughts. As itmahanh said, if you feel you are in danger of harming yourself seek help. You have taken one step by posting here. Take the next if need be. Let us know how things are going. we are here. :hug:

No bias here.
A Seattle radio jock says “bike zealots” are trying to force the city’s traffic problems on the the Bellevue area, apparently by calling for a road diet and bike lanes.
He also claims only 25 bike riders a day currently use the street in question, and doubts the number is likely to increase once the bike lanes go in.
Maybe someone should tell him you can’t judge the need for a bridge by how many people swim across the river.
Or if a new road is needed by how many people currently drive across the fields.
Then again, maybe he could learn something from the bikeway on Vancouver’s Burrard Street Bridge, which many motorists called an unnecessary failure on a road few bicyclists used when it opened ten years ago.
All those bike riders must have been busy swimming against the tide a decade ago.
CiclaValley offers a painful reminder that once upon a time, we actually had the mayor’s support for safer streets and hope for the future of our city.
Even if it does seem like a fairy tale now.

On the other hand, the following response to that tweet is exactly the attitude we need from our elected officials. And why Sarah Kate Levy has my personal support for LA’s 4th Council District set currently held by David Ryu.
I don’t ride — but I have pretty good sense of empathy, compassion, and imagination. It’s not that difficult to understand why we need a connected protected bike network in this city. It’s just a lack of political will.
— Sarah Kate Levy (@sarahkatelevy) July 30, 2019
Even if she isn’t one of us.
The idea of all of you teaching me to to ride a bike is just delightful. Like, really really delightful. https://t.co/Shdfjd0cb2

An LAPD cop ignored drivers rolling a red light, and ticketed the guy on two wheels for jumping the light by a few seconds.
The war on cars may be a myth, but the war on bikes goes on.
Someone booby trapped a Colorado bike trail, stringing potentially deadly wires across the path at neck level; one bike rider was lucky to escape with a bloody nose.
Someone painted “No Bikes” on a Tulsa OK bike lane — and bizarrely, “Kayaks Only.”
Then again, the people on two wheels aren’t always the good guys.
A man is under arrest for attacking a woman after colliding with her as he was riding on an Irvine bike trail; a Good Samaritan intervened to stop the assault and hold him for police.
No news is good news, right?
Calbike’s Dave Snyder says the Complete Streets bill currently under consideration in the state legislature would benefit bike riders and pedestrians. Everyone else, too. One way or another.
No bias here, either. The story says very clearly that police in San Diego conducted a safety operation “focused on enforcing safety laws involving motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians.” Too bad the headline is all about a crackdown on bicyclists and pedestrians.
Sad news from Bakersfield, where a woman has died nearly a week after her bike was struck by an alleged drunk driver.
Now that’s more like it. A new San Francisco program provides a variety of hand-cycles, side-by-side tandem bikes and adult tricycles for people with mobility-related disabilities during carfree Sundays in Golden Gate Park.
Streetsblog San Francisco calls for regulating killer trucks. Trucks don’t kill, drivers do. But no truck should ever be allowed on the roads with massive blindspots that can prevent drivers from seeing bike riders and pedestrians, or without sideguards to keep people from getting swept underneath.
Hats off to a Santa Rosa bike shop for giving a Utah triathlete a new $5,000 bike after her’s was stolen the day before the race.
Marin County sheriff’s investigator have released the name of a suspect who allegedly stole $25,000 worth of bicycles from a bike shop earlier this month; they’ve recovered the bikes from a storage shed, and have a warrant out for his arrest.
A new study shows falls at home are the leading cause of nonfatal head injuries in American kids. Which is why your kids should wear BikinginLA’s patented new HomeHelmet™ from the day they’re born until they turn 21.
Anyone who wants a 20 mph e-cargo bike for just $1,500 raise your hand. Sorry, I may be typing one-handed for awhile.
Evidently, bikes as props are a thing for scantily-clad models this year. Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Anne de Paula rides a bike in some exotic-looking beach location while wearing a “cheeky” one-piece swimsuit. Which may be a BikinginLA record for most hyphens in a single sentence.
Twitter erupted with predictable outrage after Arizona police announced plans to give good drivers faux tickets containing coupons for Circle K; the cops backed off after realizing the plan was of “questionable legality,” deciding they’d just stop bike riders and pedestrians instead. But if it’s questionable to pull over drivers who aren’t breaking the law, why wouldn’t the same thing apply to people walking or riding bikes? Or do civil rights only apply to people in cars?
Why bother breaking in to a Denver-area bike shop, when you can just drive a bus through the front door?
The death toll continues to climb in New York, where a 30-year old art teacher was killed when she was doored while riding her bike and knocked into the path of a semi for the city’s 18th bicycling death so far this year; New York Mayor de Blasio reminded drivers that it’s against the law to open a car door into the path of a bicyclist.
South Brooklyn community boards tell de Blasio where he can put his plan to expand protected bike lanes; apparently they don’t care how many bike riders die on the streets.
They get it. A Charleston SC newspaper says it takes a special kind of logic to reject a safety project over fears it would be unsafe, and that ignoring bike and pedestrian safety won’t fix anything.
For one brief instant, it seemed like we had reason to be excited, and maybe there was actually hope for Los Angeles. Except the new Complete Streets project is on the wrong Hollywood Blvd, in the wrong Hollywood, in the wrong state, on the wrong side of the country.
This is why you always need to maintain your bike. A Florida man is dead after he threw the chain on his bike and fell into the street, where he was struck by a driver.
In yet another example of keeping a dangerous driver on the road until it’s too late, a Jacksonville FL man will face charges for the hit-and-run deaths of two women as they rode their bikes, after police found “biological material” in his shattered windshield; he has been charged with at least six other moving violations dating back to 1999.
A Vancouver man gets his bike back less than a day after it was stolen — and with a better front wheel — when a bike courier spotted someone riding it and negotiated its return for $60.
She gets it too. A Vancouver letter writer says “Maybe it’s time to end the debate of cyclist vs vehicle driver and just ask your city to provide safe infrastructure for both.” Couldn’t have said it better myself.
It takes a real schmuck to steal a paraplegic’s custom adaptive bike from a Calgary hotel parking lot; the theft victim had continued to ride despite losing the use of his legs in a mountain biking accident three years ago.
Toronto newspaper readers go ballistic when a columnist suggests bicycles don’t pose the same threat to pedestrians that drivers do. The simple fact is, someone on foot is far less likely to be killed in a collision with a bicyclist than with a driver, for reasons that should be obvious. But it can and does happen. So it’s your responsibility to ride safely and carefully around pedestrians, who can be every bit as unpredictable as drivers think we are.
Huh? A British columnist bizarrely spends most of his column talking about smoking, vaping, coffee drinking and otherwise distracted drivers. But then says we should pity the drivers who get blamed for the sins of modern bike riders if they actually hit one. Personally, I’d rather pity the person who gets hit.
So much for that. It only took 60 seconds to steal Dutch bikemaker VanMoof’s $3,000 theft-proof ebike.
The US has a long way to go to catch up with Poland’s glowing bike path.
Four people were seriously injured when a driver crossed over the center line and plowed into their bicycles in a Japanese tunnel; four other people were injured when a second driver crashed into his car, including a two-month old baby who suffered major injuries.
The Sacramento Bee says the future of French cycling looks bright, even if the country had its Tour de France dreams dashed once again.
The Independent talks with a man who mentored new Tour de France champ Egan Bernal in his teens, and talked him out of giving up the sport.
The Washington Post examines 2016 Olympic cycling silver medalist Kelly Catlin and the massive hole left in the lives of her family and friends after she took her own life following a series of injuries, and the untreated depression that may have resulted from a concussion suffered during a bike race.
We may have hit-and-run drivers, but at least we don’t have to worry about hit-and-run deer. If you’re going to break into a garage and steal a bike, try not to leave a scent for the police dogs to follow.
And this is why country music is called three chords and the truth. Just hang up and drive already.

Professor Thomas Anthopoulous and co-authors have recently published a paper in Nature Communications on a new fabrication technique called adhesion lithography. This paper describes a versatile method for the rapid fabrication of laterally aligned electrodes with separation of less than 15 nm. The technique exploits the ability of selected self-assembled monolayers to attach conformally to a prepatterned metal layer and weaken adhesion to a subsequently deposited metal film. The laterally aligned electrode arrangement offers key advantages over the standard vertical structures, including higher fabrication yields, greater amenability to large-scale integration, reduced parasitic capacitances and lower leakage currents. The fabrication is carried out under ambient conditions using simple equipment and a minimum of processing steps, enabling the rapid fabrication of nanogap electrodes and optoelectronic devices with aspect ratios in excess of 100,000.
The EPSRC Centre for Innovative Manufacturing in Large-Area Electronics is currently developing a project to explore the use of this novel patterning technique for the development of devices based on large aspect ratio metal electrode nanogaps. We would be happy to discuss potential applications with industry. For more information, please contact Chris Rider, Director.

The morning started with a casual 50km Walk for Men. This hip surgeon’s wet dream got underway early in the Tokyo morning to ensure that the competitors didn’t have to battle the inner-city streets in the peak of the heat. It didn’t seem to matter, as some started to be lapped just 15km into the event by early leader Yadong Luo (China). In the end, Polish walker Dawid Tomala took the Gold, a healthy 36 seconds ahead of German Jonathan Hilbert. Canada’s Evan Dunfee took the Bronze, while New Zealand’s Quinton Rew battled on strongly to finish in 16th place, 7m 25s behind Tomala.
Lisa Carrington was back out on the water, teaming up with Caitlin Regal, Teneale Hatton and Alicia Hoskin in the K4 500 heats. With the top two automatically qualifying for the semi-final, they finished second behind a strong Hungarian four. Don’t rule out yet another medal for Carrington.
There was another remarkable finals game at the hockey, with India battling back from a two goal deficit to level 2-2 with GBR in the Women’s Bronze Medal match. They then took the lead before the British levelled up and scored the match winner in the final quarter, resulting in heartache for an Indian side chasing their first Olympic medal. The Gold Medal was later taken out by the Netherlands, who always looked in control in the final against a plucky Argentinian side, with all goals coming in the second quarter.
Time will tell if we see a fourth round at the Women’s Golf, with a typhoon scheduled to visit Tokyo over the next 48 hours. If it stays as a 54 hole tournament, New Zealand’s Lydia Ko has timed her rune for a medal perfectly, with a 5 under 66 taking her into a tie for Bronze with three others. The USA’s Nelly Korda remains three shots in the lead from India’s Aditi Ashok.
The semi-final Women’s Volleyball clash between Rio Silver Medallists Serbia and USA (who won the Bronze in 2016) was expected to be a real classic. But the USA proved far too strong for the Serbians, winning 3-0, although the Serbians did fight back to make the last set a close affair. They will take on Brazil in the final – they comfortably disposed of South Korea, winning 25-16, 25-16 and 25-16.
Sport Climbing, as predicted here, has been the real sleeper hit of the Games – it seems wherever you go at the moment, people are talking about the speed climb, the bouldering and the lead. Polish climber Aleksandra Miroslaw took out the Speed Climb Event, and in the process, broke the World Record with an eye-watering 6.84secs. But in the Bouldering and Lead events, Slovenia’s Janja Garnbret proved to be an absolute machine, taking out both. It is a real shame that the Sport Climbing was only a four-day event – it has been incredible viewing.
Ellessa Andres, one of New Zealand’s breakout stars of the Games was back at the velodrome, looking to qualify for the Women’s Sprint. She made her mark early, coming out as the second rider and breaking the Olympic Record in the process. However, she was not alone. An incredible 17 of the starting field went under the existing Olympic Record. After defeating Australian Karle McCulloch in the next round, she suffered a narrow loss to the Ukraine’s Olena Starikova, meaning she had to go through a repechage in order to proceed. She sprinted brilliantly to beat Shanju Bao of China in that, and now moves on to the Top 16, where she will face World Record holder Kelsey Mitchell of Canada. Andrews has the look of someone who is growing in confidence each day.
The semi-finals in the Women’s Handball were extremely tense battles. First up, France took a one goal lead over the Swedish side into half-time. From there, it was to and fro, before France managed to double their lead, winning 29-27. From a Scandinavian perspective, it wasn’t much better in the second game. Three late goals in the first half proved the difference at the break for the ROC over Norway, and whilst the Norwegians battled back strongly in the second period, it wasn’t quite enough, and the ROC were through to the Gold Medal match with a 27-26 victory.
There were six Gold Medals were dished out at the Olympic Stadium in the evening session. In the Women’s Javelin, China’s Shiying Liu threw 1.7m further than her competition to win the Gold, whilst World Record holder Ugandan Joshua Cheptegei ensured his country’s most successful games in winning the Men’s 5000m race.
The Women’s 400m Final was comprehensively taken out by Shaunae Miller-Uibo (Bahamas) who was almost a second quicker than Silver Medallist Marileidy Paulino from the Dominican Republic. At the age of 35, USA legend Allyson Felix took the Bronze. The Women’s 1500m final was won by Kenya’s Faith Kipyegon in Olympic Record time, with Laura Muir (GBR) taking the Silver, and 5000m winner Sifan Hassan (NED) the Bronze.
Jamaica pipped the USA to win Gold in the 4 x 100m Women’s Relay, with Great Britain grabbing the Bronze. In the Men’s 4 x 100m Relay, the Italians (yes, the Italians) took Gold by just 0.01 secs over a plucky GBR team with Canada finishing with the Bronze. This capped off a truly woeful track meeting for the USA in general, who couldn’t even make the final in the Men’s event. With only one day left on the track, plus the marathon, they have secured only two Gold Medals. What a shame.

The story of Stephen Strange, a neurosurgeon-the otherworld defender of the universe-is like a surname. A difficult destiny is the character, which he was able to push into the comic world, gently, with varying success. Charisma uncle is not deprived, but very much chakras-mantras-boddhisattva, accompanying his forces and abilities, went against the brute force of the reader's usual superheroes. At the end of the era, they forgot about him altogether, with a nostalgic smile hidden in that box of the sixties, where beads-rosaries, Pucci's prints, preparations for the expansion of consciousness and faith in the possibility of changing the world with a broad smile lay already.
In the tenth years of the twenty-first century, in which everything new is a tolerantly fused old, the name of Strange again surfaced. It was sparkling, you can say, in the name of the Marvel genius, to make money from the air density of scripts, good visualization and simple humor. While DC breaks both to itself and the spectator with its three-hour, high-flown epics, Marvel, though slightly podraasteravshy old lightness, is still the same trampled caring and mummy road - eat, viewer, our gruel. Do not push (it will not be difficult - we promise). Do not burn yourself (here's the PG-13 rating). Do not be fooled (we sent you sentries so that you will not forget, as it was in the previous thirty-two films). And how about writing a powerful wizard with esoteric powers and psychedelic patterns in this template template? Yes, a trifle, it is not even worth the trouble, it sits like poured.
It helped that Dr. Strange, who appeared to the world not in the best times for comics, is in itself simple as a one-color Rubik's cube. It was not initially difficult - for perception it was complicated by the surrounding situation of a tent under LSD. Reject unnecessary - and get "I do not want to be a hero - it's dangerous! - I must be a hero. " This is what the Marvel script writers used, revealing the hero exactly to the extent that it will help him to be adequately sequenced, trikvelizirovatsya and otsylnichat in the future. But there is one detail in "Strange", which makes it a curious movie for watching not only the fans and ordinary lovers of beautiful bubuhs, but also the comedian who is tired of comics, can bring something in a bowl with strong tea. It's about philosophy. The Strange's world is, first and foremost, a psychedel, which was desperately lacking during the fighting. The fact that the hobo-neurosurgeon was flown once inside the consciousness warms the soul of some pathetic five minutes, and the rest of the time the Mr. Doctor runs on foot and fights with sparks. Not enough skills were not enough for the creators of special effects (the transformations of the buildings were very impressive, Nolan's team puts the class), how much imagination to show something out of the ordinary. Let's say that there was no need to get out of the way because of the desire to not stretch the target audience - which is sad, because walking around the universe of Doctor Strange is at times more fun than drawing another Zakovi, a standard eastern market or a three thousandth Hydra bunker. Believe me, comrades from Hollywood - we are courageous, we are not afraid, we will be happy to see your fantasies. Do not be shy and do not limit yourself, and then, smelling senses, Asgard was our last gift in terms of visualization raisins.
And a skeptical raised eyebrow is given to Marvel for another fused villain. Honestly, you simply did not know to which project to attach the extensive fan base of Mads Mikkelsen. However, this is empty: complaining about the clichés in comic films is like yelling at the wind, so as not to blow.

Marvel's "Doctor Strange" follows the story of the talented neurosurgeon Doctor Stephen Strange who, after a tragic car accident, must put ego aside and learn the secrets of a hidden world of mysticism and alternate dimensions. Based in New York City's Greenwich Village, Doctor Strange must act as an intermediary between the real world and what lies beyond, utilising a vast array of metaphysical abilities and artifacts to protect the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Denver Broncos quarterback and devout evangelical Christian Tim Tebow is hinting that one day he may seek a post-football second career in politics.
In an interview broadcast Saturday night, the unabashed religious conservative said he could one day explore politics "if it's something I care about."
"I don't know -- it could be something in my future," Tebow said, speaking to Dave Feherty -- host of the Golf Channel's "Feherty Live." "If it's something I care about, possibly."
“A lot of people are praying for me, a lot of people are encouraging me,” Tebow continued. “Ultimately I know that my goal and my platform through the game of football isn’t just to score touchdowns and win games. You know, it’s about being a great role model and setting an example for the next generation. My ultimate goal is to be an athlete that some mom or dad can look at their son and daughter and say, ‘That’s someone who’s trying to do it the right way, that’s someone who’s trying to live with character."
Though Tebow has sparked controversy on the left over his strong religious views, conservative pundits and politicians have embraced the University of Florida graduate. Texas governor Rick Perry compared himself to the athlete during a debate, saying "I hope I am the Tim Tebow of the Iowa caucuses."
But Tebow has been very careful not to endorse a presidential candidate. Yet.

A regulatory change expected to make some 5 million more employees eligible for overtime pay will take effect on the 1st of December, but employers are urged to plan now how they will cope with the change. Employers are wondering how they will be affected by the U.S. Department of Labor’s (DOL) proposed new rule dramatically altering which employees can be classified exempt from the Fair Labor Standards Act’s (FLSA) guarantee of overtime pay.
Employers have long used paid vacation policies as a compensation benefit and a means of enhancing employee productivity. To keep pace in a competitive hiring market, many start-ups offer employees the right to take “unlimited” paid vacation. While “unlimited vacation” policies do offer certain benefits, the law on such policies is currently undeveloped, and employers must pay careful attention to implementation and administration to minimize legal risks.
Employment policies: Do they keep organizations running smoothly? Or are they trouble waiting to happen? The answer to both questions is: sometimes. Business owners spend a lot of time working on policies they hope will lead to productive, fair workplaces. Often, though, policies can cause more problems than they solve. Adding to the dilemma, HR practitioners and legal experts don’t always agree on what makes a good policy.
Most managers think calculating overtime is simple—just take the employee’s hourly rate and multiply by 1.5. That’s one of the most common misconceptions about wages and hours, and consequently one of the most frequent violations. Overtime is 1.5 times the “regular rate,” which is often not the same as the hourly rate.
One of the most misunderstood and misapplied sections of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) deals with overtime and comp time. To illustrate the confusion, consider this example: you have a nonexempt salaried employee who will be working an extra six hours each week for additional training for her position. The extra hours will result in overtime hours each week. The employee is requesting comp time instead of overtime pay. Can you let her track the hours she works (including the training time) and ask her to sign a form indicating her desire to waive overtime pay and instead receive comp time? If so, should the comp time be given to her at time and a half?
With all the talk of moving the exemption status, we are seeing an up-tick in calls about managing issues with those employees who are exempt who struggle with employees straggling in late or not coming in at all is often at the top of the list of employer frustrations. The problem can lead employers to devise creative solutions, such as requiring management employees to clock in and even docking their pay when they’re late. But a solution that’s legal is more important than one that’s creative.
Why do I need to go through the steps of progressive discipline when I operate my business in an At-Will state?
We are having problems with people being tardy or not clocking in on-time. Can we charge them a fee that is less than their hourly rate to make changes to our time keeping system?
When good employees leave, their old employers don’t have to say goodbye to them without realizing some benefit. Exit interviews can provide that benefit by offering information that can help employers make recruiting, hiring, and policy decisions that will keep them desirable to current and future employees. | <urn:uuid:f05febec-fea7-485b-b021-e45c92c7e82b> | CC-MAIN-2019-35 | https://www.symmetryconsult.com/blog?tag=timecards | 2019-08-22T06:54:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-35/segments/1566027316785.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20190822064205-20190822090205-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.957433 | 751 |

One of the hottest topics in last year’s concernes the school and the labour market.
The question we are trying to answer is: how can educational institutions prepare young people to start working?
Are the academic programs aligned with what companies are looking for?
These are the questions that need to be answered, especially today, when new technologies like Internet of Things and big data are changing any industry.
A data driven approach can help you to make strategic decision despite the uncertain scenarios.
WollyBI for Education and Research for the University of Padua
Dr. Gilda Rota, Career Service Director of the University of Padua, presented on 24th October at the ESCO Conference in Rome, how to use big data to help the students enter the job market.
Thanks to research conduct by the Data Scientist of WollyBI, it has been possible to develop an online tool that allows analyzing information of great interest.
Starting from the analysis of the degree courses, the tool has extracted the occupations coming out of the course itself. These data have been cross-referenced with the WollyBI’ database, which contains million of job vacancies, to obtain an exhaustive overview of the labour market demand.
Universities and job opportunities: a real case
For example, the tool developed by the WollyBI’ data scientist team has highlighted the correspondence between the Business Administrator degree course proposed by the University of Padua and the skills requested by the companies within certain geographies.
How many job offers were posted on the web where the job description contained qualifications in line with the skills acquired by the students during their degree course?
The most requested professions by companies as part of the Business Administration degree course
In 2018, 5.497 job vacancies related to the degree course in Business Administration were published in Italy, which according to the ESCO classification coincide with the role of Financial Analyst and Economists, among which the figure of Junior Economist emerges.
The results can also be associated with the classification of occupations provided by the ISTAT Code, and in this group, the Specialists in management and control of private companies are sought 86.1% of cases.
The research also reveals that the young people are the first choice for the companies and this can be observed from the level of experience required (none for 42% of cases) and from the type of contract offered, the apprenticeship in 36.5% of cases.
Each working position has a different mix of Soft Skills, Digital Skills and No Digital Skills. An example? The young graduate in Business Economics from the University of Padua, who will assume the role of Investment Analyst, should have a mix of the following skills: 41% No Digital Skills, 40% Soft Skills, 17% Digital Skills.
It is possible to contextualize even more the results of the research by limiting the results at the territorial level: regional, provincial and municipal. In one specific Region, for instance, in 2018, 637 job offers were advertised, in alignment with the degree course in Business Economics, in which 72% of the time the young economist was the most requested candidate.
Download here the PDF of the research with all details of the analysis.
What are the opportunities that WollyBI for Education provides for university assessment?
A similar research can provide a wide range of information that is relevant for universities, such as an assessment of their academic program and real need from the companies to facilitate their successful entrance into the job market.
WollyBI data are frequently updated to allow a detailed analysis of the labour market, highlighting the most important elements, such as:
- the most requested occupations, down to the detail of each single industry sector
- skills that distinguish each single occupation, which can be used as a tool to choose the degree courses
- the time evolution of the number of job advertisements, to identify emerging skills or competences.
For universities and educational institutions that take care of the Employability of their students, WollyBI Education is a must to have tool to facilitate the entrance of students into the job market and to align the academic programs to the needs of today’s and tomorrow’s companies.

On Saturday, Feb. 25, the annual Penguin Paddle will take place at Holiday Valley. This event, which is the annual fundraiser for the Lounsbury Adaptive Ski Program (LASP), has hundreds of participants who drape themselves in large black garbage bags and slide down the lower part of the Yodeler ski slope on their bellies “penguin style.”
The Lounsbury Adaptive Ski Program (LASP) was founded by dedicated ski patrollers with the cooperation and support of Holiday Valley Ski Resort in September 1988. The program was started to honor Bill Lounsbury, who was a member of the Holiday Valley Ski Patrol. Bill lost a leg to cancer in 1982, but that didn’t stop him from pursuing his love of skiing. Bill taught himself to ski on one leg, and his courage and love of skiing was an inspiration to many. After Bill lost his battle with cancer, the first pieces of adaptive equipment for the program were purchased using donations sent to the Holiday Valley Ski Patrol in Bill’s memory.
Over the last 29 years, the LASP has grown to 40 instructors who work together to teach more than 250 lessons during the course of a single ski season. These dedicated volunteer instructors are trained in adaptive ski methods, and more than half of the instructors are certified by the Professional Ski Instructors of America (PSIA).
LASP offers lessons to people with physical and cognitive disabilities using a wide range of adaptive equipment. If a student wants to ski, the instructors will find a way to get them out on the slopes! Our instructors don’t just teach skiing— they allow students the opportunity to participate in something that the rest of us may take for granted. They give students a sense of accomplishment, a sense of freedom, pride and independence!
This fun filled day includes something for everyone— the penguin slide, lunch, raffles and a silent auction. Come bring the whole family, and make of day of it, all while supporting a great cause!
Schedule of events:
9 a.m. – 1 p.m. Registration for the slide at the base of Yodeler $1
Raffle Tickets on sale all day at Yodeler (Holiday Valley Season Pass, $500 Southwest Airlines Travel Voucher and High performance skis from Dekdebruns Ski Shop)

Wow. What a stunner. This breathtaking video was shot from above 20,000 feet and captures the Himalayas in such clear detail that I actually gasped when I watched it. You get to see Mount Everest, Ama Dablam and Lhotse in their natural glory and the view is just majestic. I don't think I'll ever get closer than this.
Make sure you watch for the shots at the end. Unreal.
The aerial cinema experts at Teton Gravity Research release the first ultra HD footage of the Himalayas shot from above 20,000 ft. with the GSS C520 system, the most advanced gyro-stabilized camera system in the world. Filmed from a helicopter with a crew flying from Kathmandu at 4,600 ft. up to 24,000 ft. on supplemental oxygen, these are some of the most stable, crisp, clear aerial shots of these mountains ever released, which include Mt. Everest, Ama Dablam, and Lhotse.

Technical details: 4 minutes at f/9.5, ISO 200. Canon 5D Mark II with a Zeiss Distagon 21mm f/2.8 ZE lens
The composition above was used as a light painting demonstration during last month's night photography workshop. All the light you see on the foreground subjects was added with a flashlight while the shutter was open. Due to the number of different surfaces being lit, this setup took multiple attempts to get right. Let's take a brief walk through the steps involved:
1. Daytime Scouting -- blocking out your shots in the daytime will help you be more productive at night. Photographer Hunter Luisi surveys the scene before the sun goes down.
2. Test Exposure -- checking focus, composition, and exposure before committing to a complicated shot will help you get more keepers. The test exposure was 8 seconds at f/8, ISO 6400. This equates to 8 minutes at f/8 ISO 100 -- or 4 minutes at f/8 ISO 200. In the final exposure, I stopped the lens down to f/9.5 for depth of field, and also to underexpose the background by 1/2 stop in order to give the light painting more snap.
3. Base Exposure -- I was shooting into the moon, which is just out of the frame at top left. Make sure to use a lens hood for night photography. The base exposure was not light painted at all, and underexposed by 1 full stop in order to have a version with a darker sky. A base exposure is useful for seeing the effect of your light painting, and for removing any unwanted lighting in post production. 2 minute exposure at f/8, ISO 200.
4. Light painting -- I lit the red trailer from camera left, walked around and lit the white truck, and then lit the red trailer from camera right. The lighting on the trailer is a bit too bright. By reviewing the feedback on the camera's LCD, I decided to also light the truck on the left, the yellow ramp on the right, and to skim a little bit of light across the box in the foreground.
5. Light painting -- the trailer is just about right, and the side of the yellow ramp is getting there. I missed the back of the truck at left, and decided to light the top of the box in front more than the side directly facing the camera.
6. Light painting -- Finally got a take I liked!
- The truck on the left was lit at an oblique angle from camera left to bring out the shapes along the green part in the back.
- The red trailer was lit on both sides from a 45 degree angle to bring out texture and prevent hot spots
- The yellow ramp was lit from camera left using a snoot to control the lighting, and also on the top from camera right.
- The light skimming across the box in the foreground was also done with a snooted flashlight from camera left.
- The white truck in the background was lit while hiding behind the red trailer
Technical note: a Streamlight Stinger flashlight was used, utilizing a 1.5 foot long cardboard tube as a snoot for lighting control. The Stinger is a high powered flashlight that is great for light painting dark surfaces from middle distances.
Post-Processing notes: While the light painting on the version above worked really well, there was a slight bit of lens flare. The darker, more simple sky from the base exposure looked better -- so I replaced the sky from the earlier exposure using a layer mask in Photoshop. I will cover sky replacement in a future article.
A small amount of dodging and burning were also done on the foreground and right side of the red trailer to create the final image at the top of this post. I hope this extended look at the making of a complex light painted image is useful. Let me know if you'd like to get on the list for future night photography workshops -- all that's necessary is a camera, tripod, flashlight, and your imagination! | <urn:uuid:21d17d5b-1abc-4daf-9742-8eb71281b552> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://www.joereifer.com/words/2010/04/09/night-photography-step-by-step-through-a-complex-light-painting-setup | 2017-11-22T18:46:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806620.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20171122175744-20171122195744-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.945311 | 828 |

Potentially 5% of your workforce includes employees that are a high-security risk. The cost of all types of fraud is a staggering 5% of turnover, per the 2014 Global Fraud Study by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE.) So, what’s the cost of rogue employee behavior to your business? Simply identifying the personality type most likely to cross the line and the triggers that push them there could save you big dollars and your reputation. Or better yet, how do you help an employee to align their strengths to a given role and avoid rogue behavior altogether?
While larger businesses are investing more in cyber security and other monitoring programs, virtually nothing is being put towards identifying and monitoring costly employee behavior risks. The problem is that many of these insider threats are already in your business and the situation is gaining momentum without anyone being the wiser. The Global State of Information Security Survey 2015 recommends that 23% of the annual spend on business security should be directed to behavioral profiling and monitoring of employees.
Research shows that the following problems are caused by human behavior:
- Combinations of human behavioral factor outliers and external environmental factors (e.g. financial difficulty) trigger emotions causing negative behavior toward the company.
- Combinations of employees with too similar or too different styles working in a high-risk environment cause internal control issues.
The solution is the deployment of a validated personality discovery process, providing insights to hidden, hard-wired traits and a reliable prediction of where security or compliance risks exist. Based on external research, employees with the following measurable behavioral traits are more likely to engage in rogue behavior when emotionally triggered:
- Innovative – bright mind, which turns into curious and devious thinking
- Ambitious – desire for success, leading to cutting corners
- Secretive – working under cover and not revealing key information
The reality is that any person with a weak or temporarily broken character in the wrong team or facing external pressure can make flawed decisions and therefore, become the source of costly negative behavior. The employee behavior review using personality assessment methodologies should be uniformly applied to every employee in the business from the top down to distill the “hot spot” areas. The high performing leaders down through the sales and operations teams to the disgruntled bookkeeper are not exempt – New hires, or old guard, every last one. You only have to look at the recent headlines regarding Wells Fargo, Volkswagen, and JP Morgan. I am regularly seeing it in the financial services industry and the privately held businesses with whom we partner.
Using behavioral insights, management can dynamically match employees with specific environmental conditions to determine their potential response. They can also discern the degree to which such responses could create rogue behavior and negative actions towards the business. Lastly, management can apply these insights towards talent re-allocation, employee evaluation, team development and improved hiring processes. | <urn:uuid:15be6c2f-760e-4159-85f6-03ca0376eae7> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://blog.dnabehavior.com/which-employee-is-your-molotov-cocktail/ | 2018-05-21T07:10:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794863967.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20180521063331-20180521083331-00125.warc.gz | en | 0.937182 | 579 |
What is the first thing we all do in the morning when we wake up? Nearly all of us check our phones when we are still bleary-eyed, looking for those all-important notifications, checking emails, etc. Forex traders will want to know immediately how the market is doing, and for this, they will need access to a responsive Forex Mobile Website. In fact, recent studies show that the average person spends over four hours a day on their mobile device, a full 25% of their waking hours. Keeping this in mind, here are the reasons why your business will be woefully behind without optimizing your website:
Mobile v Desktop
Mobile users have now surpassed desktop users in internet traffic. More than half of all internet users are now browsing websites directly from their smartphones. Are you really ready to turn off the majority of your clients because you didn’t take the simple steps required to make your website mobile responsive? According to Google, 61% of users are unlikely to return to a mobile site they had trouble accessing. What’s more, they have announced that they have switched to mobile-first indexing, meaning that they now rank websites by their mobile versions first. This is extremely important for SEO efforts.
Increased Sales Potential
Across all sectors, mobile users purchase more from online stores than desktop users, and the trend is increasing. If you are a Broker accessing your target audience on the App Store and Google Play this could be your golden opportunity! You can provide your clients with a seamless transaction experience on both your Forex Website, Forex CRM and Forex Mobile App.
Better Brand Engagement
It’s simple: people looking to trade Forex will trust you more and be more engaged with your business if you have a mobile-friendly website. There’s nothing worse than being behind the curve with a slow website that doesn’t instill confidence in your clients.
Reduce Bounce Rates
Having a website that is not mobile optimized can cause your bounce rate to increase. This is because slow loading times can cause users to turn away. According to recent studies, 40% of all users abandon a website that takes more than 3 seconds to load. In addition, 44% of users will tell their friends and colleagues about a bad experience online, which means more bad news for your business if your site isn’t optimized.
Amplify Visual Content
User experience should be at the heart of anyone’s marketing efforts. If you have a nice Forex Website Design, you will want to give your users the full visual experience. In fact, mobile users behave differently from desktop users with regards to visual content: they crave more of it and are not going to want to scroll through multiple lines of text. Using your fully mobile responsive Forex website to your advantage, you will be able to amplify the visual side of your business and allow users to easily share images, videos, or links on social media. | <urn:uuid:b2be3d5c-2d83-4796-94c9-79dfe3e71cc5> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://blog.kenmoredesign.com/2019/03/05/why-you-must-have-a-mobile-friendly-website/ | 2019-11-15T01:08:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496668544.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20191114232502-20191115020502-00049.warc.gz | en | 0.933361 | 604 |
After a WSJ story broke in late June that the Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) had permitted the export of condensates by Enterprise and Pioneer, a good number of additional export requests were received by the agency. Then a couple of weeks ago, Reuters reported that the BIS had put a “hold” on the approval of any more requests, implying that potential condensate exports were in limbo. Turns out, as we understand it, there is no limbo – it is nothing more than an administrative process that takes time for any of these requests while the applicant is providing additional supporting information that the BIS requires. There has also been misunderstanding in the industry about the process of receiving BIS approval for exports.

There is a treasure at the WLIA Annual Conference every year. It is not something you have to sit through and listen to. It is not something where you have to choose between one room or another. It is not something that you have to stay awake all hours of the night for either.
It sprawls along walls, easels, and tables; its tendrils dig far and wide as the digital plane. It is often silently observed or whispered about in small groups. It is a combination of art gallery and museum in equal parts. It unites us and brings us back to our roots of cartography in this digital age, reminding us where we have been and showing us where we are going. It invokes thoughts, dispenses knowledge, and inspires each of us. The Map Gallery is one of the cornerstones at the WLIA Annual Conference.
We see students, freelancers, and private sector companies showcasing their work, but not always a lot of government entities. As a member of a local government entity writing to you, I say your work as a government entity has value and inspiration that needs to be shared. Your work does not need to have gone to a professional print company or be finished in Illustrator. It does not need to have been part of a research paper or a study. It does not need to be something where you sunk hours or days of work to get that color blue to be the right color blue and get that fade just right. It can be plain as plain can be, as long as it effectively conveys what it needs to.
The gallery is not all about the awards presented on Friday or the popularity of a particular entry. Some of the most valuable maps I have seen and judged over the years did not win an award, but I have taken elements and ideas from them back to the office. Now I incorporate these things in my work on a daily basis. They have created a cascading effect of what is possible within my city government and outside agencies that I work with. The people coming to me now ask better questions and have a better understanding of what is appropriate for the projects that they work on.
To those of you that will enter the contest, I thank you. To those you on the fence about sharing your work in the gallery, especially those of you that are a government unit or agency, I implore you to enter. You never know who you will inspire. To those of you that do not enter or have never entered, I ask that you consider entering a piece in the future because, who knows, you might be hoarding a masterpiece. With that, I am looking forward to seeing the new gallery of inspiration this year, and learning something new from each of you!

Finally back to baking! I've been trying to make a chocolate chip cake (not cookie cake), and have tried a couple of recipes from here, but my chips keep sinking I've tried coating with flour, even mini chips, but so far no luck. Anyone have a suggestion or two? The last batch I tried WASC( thanks Kakeladi) but same result. Appreciate the expert help!!
I'm not at home to find my recipe, but the Martha Stewart recipe seems to be a popular/successful one.
I see you already have tried what I was going to suggest
The only other thing I can suggest is to sprinkle lots of chops on the top of the batter once it is in the pan - just before putting it in the oven.
I sure don't understand the problem you are having - I never did.
Try spraying the mini chips with Pam and then coating with flour.
Thanks! Finally, a bit of all the tricks worked!

Armed Criminal Group Terror
KOMPAS.com – In the past week, six people have been shot dead by the Armed Criminal Group (KKB) in Intan Jaya Regency, Papua. The last victim who died was Pastor Jeremiah Zanambani. The pastor is a native of the Moni Tribe who also plays a role in translating the Bible into Moni.
That day, two motorcycle taxi drivers at the base of Intan Jaya Regency died at different times but at the same location. The first victim was Laode Anas (34) who was killed when he returned to Supaga after dropping off passengers in Titigi Village. He was killed at around 11:15 WIT.
A few minutes later, Fatur Rahman (23) was also killed in the same location after returning from Kampung Titigi. The second victim died after being shot from a height.
Meanwhile, the third victim was Badawi, a motorcycle taxi driver who was killed by the KKB on Thursday (17/9/2020). He died behind YPPK Santo Mikael Elementary School, Bilogai Village, Sugapa District.
Three hours later, at around 14:20 WIT, Serka Sahlan, a member of the Hitadipa Preparatory Koramil, was also shot dead by KKB. Serka Sahlan’s body was evacuated from Bilorai Airport, Sugapa District, Intan Jaya Regency to Nabire using a Rimbun Air plane.
Before the bodies of the fourth victim were evacuated, KKB opened fire on the plane at Bilorai airport. The fifth victim was Pratu Dwi Akbar Utomo. He died after being involved in a gun battle with KKB on Saturday (19/9/2020) at around 13:20 WIT.
The gun battle involved the Territorial Apparatus BKO Task Force (Apter) of the Hitadipa Preparatory Corruption Eradication Commission, Pratu Dwi Akbar, was declared dead at 14:50 WIT.
The last victim was Pastor Jeremiah Zanambani. He died in Hitadipa Village, Untan Jaya on Saturday (19/9/2020) at around 18.00 WIT. Pastor Yeremia Zanambani is a native of the Moni Tribe who also played a role in making the translation of the Bible into the Moni language.
Responding to this, Kapen Kogabwihan III, Col. Czi IGN Suriastawa, said the terror carried out by the KKB in Intan Jaya Papua was to seek international attention ahead of the UN General Assembly.
The session is planned to be held on September 22-September 29, 2020. “As I said yesterday, they are looking for a moment to attract attention at the UN General Assembly at the end of this month,” he said.
He also criticized the KKB’s actions which also spread slander through social media by accusing the TNI of being involved in the murder of Pastor Yeremias Zanambani. According to him, what the KKB had done was very disturbing to the community.
“From this morning, their three accounts started spreading fake news by distorting the facts. Their slander on social media, it is clear that the settings and engineering were to incite the public as well as corner the TNI / Polri and the government ahead of the UN general session,” said Suriaswata.

“When the shock absorber of your car is broken, they put blame on people with ties to FETO [an abbreviation the President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan coined to describe Gülen Movement],” Türkeş said.
Speaking to CNN Türk the other day, Türkeş denied allegations that his father and the former head of Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) Alparslan Türkeş was poisoned by a family member with ties to Gulen Movement.
Highlighting that the corpse of his father was thoroughly examined to find any evidence that might correct such possibilities, Türkeş said no such evidence has been found so far.
“This is being turned into a witch-hunt,” Türkeş said hinting at discriminatory discourse that is often used by top government officials.
Ever since the government and Erdoğan accused Gülen Movement of masterminding the July 15 coup attempt, pro-government circles has voiced claims that the movement was behind recent unidentified murders across the country, the breakdown in peace process with Kurdish minority, Gezi protests and Turkish military’s bombing of 34 Kurdish civilians in Uludere district.
The movement denies involvement in the coup attempt, condemning any intervention into democratically-elected administrations.
Some analysts even argued that recent downing of Russian warplane by Turkish pilot was a plot by a member of Gulen Movement.
As the government accuses the movement of attempting a coup, some 80,000 people have been sacked from state institutions over their alleged links to the movement since July 15.
30,000 people including journalists, judges, police and prosecutors have been detained with 15,000 of them being arrested.

While We’re Young (Movie) written and directed by Noah Baumbach; starring Ben Stiller, Naomi Watts,
Adam Driver, Amanda Seyfried, Charles Grodin, Matthew Maher, Peter Yarrow.
Josh (Ben Stiller) and Cornelia (Naomi Watts) are a married couple, in their early forties. Josh and Cornelia don’t
have kids. Seems they’re not sure whether they want them or not at this point. They have to endure a lot of condescending,
self-important talk from friends who have a new baby. But suddenly, Josh and Cornelia develop a friendship with Jamie (Adam
Driver) and Darby (Amanda Seyfried), a married couple in their twenties.
It so happens that Jamie is a hopeful documentary filmmaker who seems to be inspired by Josh’s accomplishments in
that field. Cornelia has her own credits in that department, having produced documentaries by her dad, a famous and successful
filmmaker (Charles Grodin). But here’s the important thing – to Josh and Cornelia, Jamie and Darby seem so fresh,
so free, so authentic, so genuine. I mean, look at how they can toss back and forth the "F- you!" expression in such a casual
way. These younger folk ride bikes, they listen to lp’s, Jamie uses a typewriter rather than a wordprocessor. They invite
the older couple to do freaky things like attending a so-called "beach party" on a Manhattan street (bathing suits, beach
balls, etc) and walking on the tracks through subway tunnels. Through their association with these free spirits, Josh and
Cornelia seem to be recapturing a youthful zest for life that they’ve been missing for a long time.
Up to this point, I’m thinking maybe it wasn’t such a good idea that the movie opened with some quotes from
Henrik Ibsen’s The Master Builder. In lines that appear on screen (Wallace Shawn’s translation), we get
Solness expressing his fear of opening himself up to young people. This reference to that classic of theatrical literature
seems only to emphasize, by comparison, the shallowness and vapidity of While We’re Young. Sequences illustrating
the contrast in the life styles of the two couples look like the kind of filler you get in silly comedies. These montages,
and several others through the movie, are accompanied by peppy Vivaldi music, as if to add a whiff of class to the proceedings.
And then there’s the episode where the younger couple persuades the older couple to accompany them on a druggy therapeutic
binge supervised by a questionable Shaman. This prolonged episode involves predictable and boring falderal without making
any interesting point. The movie does manage to hit a few valid notes of social satire – about the obsessiveness of
new parents, for example, and the compulsive use of cell phones – but nothing especially noteworthy or original comes
Until an encounter between Josh and his wife’s dad, Leslie, the important documentarian. Trouble flares when Leslie
expresses his frank and unflattering opinion of the film that Josh has been working on for eight years. The conflict escalates
to the point that it touches on some intimate and private aspects of Josh’s marriage to Leslie’s daughter. Suddenly
you get the feeling: Wow, we’ve got some real angst here! The movie is at last dealing with something that cuts
to the heart.
From that point on, the movie is raising important questions, one of them being the differences in values as espoused by
separate generations. And yet, the movie also gets more plotty - in that Josh twigs to the fact that what’s been going
on around him isn’t what it seemed to be; he gradually uncovers a sort of scam. But the movie is meanwhile addressing
issues about the creation of movies and other art forms. Is the creative process more about spontaneity and serendipity or
is it more about control and planning? Does ambition trump integrity? While these are crucial subjects for some of us, I fear
they may be too esoteric to hold viewers who, given the frivolous tone of the first part of the movie, might be expecting
For those viewers who can hang in, however, Ben Stiller gives an intriguing portrayal of a man having to grapple with uncertainty
in his sense of himself as he’s entering middle age. (In this respect, the movie is a bit like Birdman.) He has
to ask himself hard questions about who he is and about his place in the world, especially as compared to the younger, more
brash Jamie. It’s fascinating to watch Mr. Stiller’s face as he tries to look composed and polite, while his brain
is processing bewildering and irritating input from other people. As in Greenberg, he is very good at showing a man
who, while somewhat at odds with his surroundings, is trying to maintain his balance.
Another actor who conveys a certain uniqueness is Adam Driver in the role of Jamie. Not to get into invidious ratings of
actors on scale of handsomeness, but there is nothing glamorous or starry about Mr. Driver; he looks like, and seems to be,
the kind of guy who might be swimming against the stream. On the other hand, Charles Grodin provides the perfect note to the
role of Leslie, the revered documentarian: satisfied, accomplished, content, a bit weary of it all but not so much that he
doesn’t still show a touch of vanity and ego. Naomi Watts has an attractive way of capturing the ambivalence of a woman
who’s leaving youthful freshness behind but isn’t quite ready to settle into middle-aged disgruntlement.
In spite of the fact that the movie doesn’t come off as an entirely successful package, there’s a lot to admire
about the style of it. A certain kind of playfulness in the photography, for instance. Frequently, the camera shows you something
that seems to give you one story but, a few seconds later, you realize you were mistakenly jumping to the most obvious conclusion.
I also liked the fact that the ending is ambiguous. Just when you think everything has been decided, everything resolved,
the final shot throws a question mark at you. | <urn:uuid:c684d9fe-b469-44a9-955e-8a57309853de> | CC-MAIN-2023-23 | http://dilettantesdiary.com/id272.html | 2023-06-05T23:37:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-23/segments/1685224652184.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20230605221713-20230606011713-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.95401 | 1,372 |

Nike 6.0 Pier Pressure presented by Jack’s Surfboards
ASP Grade-4 Pro Junior
Event No. 5 on the 2008 ASP North America Pro Junior Series (Men)
Huntington Beach, California, United States of America
June 29 – 30, 2008
HUNTINGTON BEACH, California (Monday, June 23, 2008) – The Nike 6.0 Pier Pressure presented by Jack’s returns to South Huntington Beach Pier for two days, June 29-30, 2008. The event has upgraded considerably this season to an Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) Grade-4 event, making it the highest rated ASP Pro Junior ever in North America.
As an ASP Grade-4, the Nike 6.0 Pier Pressure presented by Jack’s boasts a $20,000 prize purse and ample points up for grabs, ensuring the event will have a major impact on the 2008 ASP North America Pro Junior ratings. First place will receive $3,500 and 1,500 points, which is the equivalent to winning three ASP Grade-2 events.
“Pier Pressure reflects Nike 6.0′s mission to elevate the next generation,” Jason Kenworthy, Nike 6.0 Surf Mentor said. “This event provides a great opportunity and stepping stone for young surfers in North America.”
The field of 80 competitors includes 2007 ASP North America Pro Junior Champion Adam Wickwire (Satellite Beach, FL) in the top seed position, followed by current ratings leader on the ASP North America Pro Junior Series Cory Arrambide (Ventura, CA), Travis Beckman (Vero Beach, FL), and 2006 ASP North America Junior Champion Eric Geiselman (New Smyrna Beach, FL), who will all begin their run for the Pier Pressure title from the round of 32.
Also gracing this year’s event will be west coast standouts Andrew Doheny (Newport Beach, CA), Brent Reilly (Carlsbad, CA), Nat Young (Santa Cruz, CA) and Riley Metcalf (San Clemente, CA).
A Hawaiian contingent, including Nike 6.0 wildcards Kai Barger (Haiku, HI) and Dusty Payne (Lahaina, HI), as well as Keanu Asing (Oahu, HI) and Granger Larsen (Lahaina, HI), will add to the already-incredible talent pool. International superstar Julian Wilson (Coolum Beach, QLD) will lead the overseas invasion.
In conjunction with the event, title sponsor Nike 6.0 will be working closely with presenting sponsor Jack’s to launch a new collaboration with punk band Alkaline Trio. The limited-edition shoe and messenger bag will be available exclusively at Jack’s from June 27 to July 11, after which the product will be distributed nationally.
The live event webcast will air at Nike6PierPressure.com and will feature all the daily surfing action, blow-by-blow live scoring and drop ins by special surprise guests. The webcast will be hosted by industry icons Dave Stansfield, big-wave surfer Pete Mel, former ASP World Tour great Pat O’Connell and Surfer Magazine Editor Chris Mauro.

How to Earn Money INSTANTLY From A New E-mail Subscriber (Without Selling to Them)
The old saying goes, “the money is in the list.” Frankly, I’ve gotten sick of hearing that over the years. As someone who has a fairly large e-mail list (around 6,500 subscribers), I make very little money with my e-mail list.
In fact, I may even be losing money with it.
Why do I bother keeping a list? Because the benefits generally extend beyond the money. For example, I was able launch The Daily Interview earlier this year and have instant traffic to it, thanks to my e-mail list. It’s a powerful resource to have.
Today, I’m going to talk about something entirely different – a way to make money from your e-mail list right when someone subscribes, and you don’t even have to sell to them.
How You Can Actually Make Money Instantly From a New E-mail Subscriber
One of the great things about running The Daily Interview is that I get to meet and learn about lots of different internet entrepreneurs. One of these entrepreneurs I interviewed – Tim Bourquin – actually had a product that I could use, and I think just about anyone with an e-mail list could too. (Here’s a link to the interview – it’s actually my most popular interview to date.)
It’s called After Offers.
(This is not an affiliate link, nor am I getting compensated for writing this review.)
The basic premise is this: Someone signs up to your e-mail list, and instead of being directed immediately to your “thank you” page, they are prompted to select free guides that might be interesting to them. These free guides are of course lead magnets for other people’s e-mail lists.
If any products are selected, the information the person input to sign up to your list (usually, name and e-mail address) is passed onto the person whose free guide is being requested, and automatically enrolls in that person’s e-mail list. For each guide that is selected, you get paid.
My Experience with After Offers
So far, I’m very pleased with After Offers, and it’s left me wondering why I didn’t know about anything like this sooner. I know people have been sending their e-mail subscribers to landing pages and other targeted pages (which you can still do with After Offers, after they choose their free guides), but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a way to directly monetize your thank you page.
Here’s what it looks like when someone signs up to my e-mail list on My 4-Hour Workweek:
It’s pretty simple. They select guides they want, I get paid per guide they select, and actual owner of the guide gets a new e-mail subscriber.
Setting it up is really easy too. All I had to do was redirect my thank you page to my customized After Offers page (see screenshot below).
This is how it looks set up in my Aweber account. I’m sure you can do the same thing with other e-mail providers as well, as long as they have the ability to pass on subscriber information.
So far, the experience is great. I have After Offers set up both on My 4-Hour Workweek and The Daily Interview, although because My 4-Hour Workweek receives more traffic (and therefore more subscribers on a regular basis), it’s performing a lot better.
Below are my stats for last month (April):
Not bad at all – it basically covers my cost for having Aweber (e-mail marketing tends to get more expensive once your subscriber list reaches a certain point). And May is off to an even better start from what I can tell.
The screenshot above is what you’ll see if you log into your After Offers account – they provide real time tracking of your leads and earnings. Very user friendly. They also provide some analytics, so you can see how many offers a typical subscriber selects, and how your site compares to others in the After Offers network.
(click image to enlarge)
On average, e-mail subscribers select two offers. I’ve been earning $0.50 per offer chosen, which means I probably earn roughly $1 on average from each subscriber that chooses an offer. Again, not bad for simply redirecting my thank you page. It’ll be an easy $40-50 addition to my monthly passive income, and I would expect that to grow once I begin to focus on growing my e-mail list at The Daily Interview.
Is After Offers for You?
There are only a couple drawbacks I can see with After Offers, but ultimately, they aren’t really too negative.
The biggest thing right now is that this may not be for every niche. Currently, I think the offers available are best suited for websites/e-mail lists in the internet marketing or entrepreneurship/business niches. If you run a food blog, you may not be able to use this effectively. I could be wrong about this (perhaps I’m only seeing the offers that are relevant to my sites), but I believe this to be true.
With that said, I think this is a temporary situation. After Offers is a relatively new service, and as they continue to grow, I’m sure they will cater to wider audiences.
The only other negative point is that it’s not currently open for everyone to join. You must fill out a form, and be invited into the program. Honestly though, they are very quick to work with, and I’m confident that if you have a website or blog that fits with their advertisers, you will be up and running in no time. At the end of the day, this is probably a positive thing because it maintains the quality of their service and keeps advertisers happy.
If you want to give it a shot, check out After Offers here.
What do you think about this service? Have you used it before or something similar? Leave me a comment below and let me know what you think. I’m really excited about it, and hope to see my earnings there continue to grow. | <urn:uuid:92c5e4be-0ce0-4cc8-8323-74dd38729bf8> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.my4hrworkweek.com/affer-offers-review/ | 2016-10-26T13:10:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988720945.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183840-00559-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.955969 | 1,339 |

14 people suffered personal injury after a fire truck struck a MTA bus in NYC. The accident occurred Sunday in Astoria, Queens, NYC at the corner of Ditmars Blvd and 21st Street. A little bit after noon the fire truck was heading down Ditmars Boulevard to respond to a blaze nearby. Sirens and emergency lights were on. According to the NY Daily News, the truck passed a red light and collided with the bus that had the green light and was crossing on 21st St. Witnesses said the crash sounded like a bomb. The impact was so strong that the bus careened into two other parked cars and jumped the curb before finally stopping two steps away from people sitting at an outdoor cafe. 12 bus passengers were injured and transported to the hospital. Two firefighters were injured as well and also transported to the hospital.
Later on during the day another fire truck collided with a car two blocks away. One person suffered minor injury. The fire truck also had emergency lights on when the accident happened.
Last year there were 382 fire truck accidents in NYC. | <urn:uuid:5be2bf58-4cf4-4b72-9938-a73f1b6eec7b> | CC-MAIN-2017-51 | https://www.newyorkpersonalinjuryattorneysblog.com/2016/06/14-people-injured-accident-fire-truck-mta-bus-new-york.html | 2017-12-12T00:35:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-51/segments/1512948514238.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20171212002021-20171212022021-00693.warc.gz | en | 0.984628 | 218 |
Bernie left two messages today.
The first one came while I was on another call and the second one came after I left the office.
The first one was a cold call introduction to his company. His message was all over the place stating his name, company, a value proposition, the percent of commission I could earn if I partnered with them and more stumbling about what he wanted to talk to me about and to call him back.
As I listened to this one I wasn’t wowed or impressed or really knew what he was offering, even the 70% commission didn’t jazz me enough to run and instantly return his call.
Three hours later he left a second message. He was apologizing for leaving an unprofessional message. In his prospecting efforts later in the day, he had connected with a business associate of mine and apparently told her of his blunder to me. She informed him of our business friendship and suggested to call me back.
This second message did place a big smile on my face and I realized Bernie had been agonizing about his voice mail fail all day. Poor Bernie.
Could your reps be leaving poor voice mail messages? And what’s that costing in sales, confidence and productivity?
Bernie did the #1 sales fail on his first voice mail message.
He wasn’t prepared.
Without preparation the message becomes rambling, filled with nothing, includes poor benefits, and is certainly a very weak message leaving a bad impression.
Good opportunities are hard to come by, so blowing it because of a bad voice mail is a waste.
Here’s how to prepare for greater success with the GET Method (GET the prospect to take your call!)
PS.. This does not guarantee a return call, it does increase your odds for the prospect to take a return call.
The GET Method
Greet: State their name, your name and company
Explain: Why connecting that’s intriguing and all about them
Time: State when you will be calling back and leave your name and number in case they want to call you before the date/time you say you’ll be calling again.
Here’s my stab at a better 30 second GET VM message Bernie could have left…
- Hello Alice. This is Bernie with XYZ Company.
- Today other like-minded training solutions firms are receiving residual income anywhere from $500- $15,000 by reaching new customers through our exclusive online 500,000 person database with a click of a button.
- I’ll call back on Tuesday morning, as you may be interested in an entirely new revenue stream too.
- Again, I’m Bernie and can be reached at 123-456-7891 in case it’s easier for you to call me back before I my call on Tuesday.
- Thanks and have a great day.
See the difference? It takes a little time to get these voice mail messages to sound natural.
After you put it in writing, read it aloud and time it.

I don't know if you've noticed, but I cannot get enough of the Southwest landscape. I'm in love with the landscape, with cacti and succulents and with the earth tone color palette... I don't think I will ever tire of painting it.
I love everything about this painting. The clouds, the pale blue sky, the buttes... **sigh** I think I was born in the wrong part of the country! | <urn:uuid:c6ea2392-7f11-491c-8927-76b957f8ab81> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://aprilbern.com/aprilbern-photo-blog/2018/6/18/71100-the-100-day-project | 2018-11-21T16:22:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039749054.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20181121153320-20181121175320-00435.warc.gz | en | 0.971554 | 92 |

On Monday 20 October, North Dorset MP Bob Walter visited key memorial sites at The Ypres Salient Battlefields in Belgium with British and Irish MPs to mark 100 years since the start of the First World War.
Bob was honoured to take part in a memorial visit to Flanders yesterday to commemorate the sacrifices of British and Irish soldiers in the First World War, marking 100 years since it began.
During the day he visited a series of memorials, beginning with the grave of Major Willie Redmond MP (1861-1917), who served for 34 years in the House of Commons. At the Messines Ridge British Cemetery Bob visited the graves of several unknown soldiers of the Dorsetshire Regiment.
This was followed by a visit to Tyne Cot Cemetery and a wreath laying by members of the House of Commons and House of Lords, where Bob also met with North Dorset constituents, Kevin and Pat Oakley, from Milton Abbas. Tyne Cot Cemetery is the largest Commonwealth War Graves cemetery in the world and an important reminder of the 1917 Battle of Passchendaele.
The day ended with a further wreath laying ceremony and Last Salute at the Commonwealth War Graves Commission’s Menin Gate Memorial to the Missing, which records the names of the British and Commonwealth Soldiers who were killed in the Ypres Salient and whose graves are also unknown. The intensity and violence of the shelling, combined with the continuous duration of the fighting in the Ypres Salient through the First World War meant that some 90,000 of the bodies of the 300,00 soldiers killed on the battlefield were never found.
Bob said: “I was honoured to have the opportunity to undertake this visit to Belgium as we commemorate 100 years since the start of the Great War. The sound of the Last Post buglers and the words of the Exhortation are always moving, but particularly so when standing on the battlefields of Ypres Salient.
“The next four years will see a series of important events that will allow us all to reflect upon the sacrifices made by the 900,000 British service personnel who lost their lives in this terrible conflict and I very much look forward to paying my respects at local memorials in my own North Dorset constituency during this period of collective remembrance.” | <urn:uuid:ea61854b-ad2b-4ed7-821b-67c9e962dfa5> | CC-MAIN-2018-30 | http://www.mags4dorset.co.uk/mp-visits-ypres-salient-war-memorials | 2018-07-20T12:50:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-30/segments/1531676591596.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20180720115631-20180720135631-00072.warc.gz | en | 0.95568 | 467 |
It is a shame for men that the “little man” doesn’t stand up when necessary. Sometimes, both parties just feel awful. It could even lead to a huge misunderstanding.
Problems with erections can be common. Everyone has them, and every single man has experienced them at least once in their life. Even the most Casanova Casanovas can have their tools break down on them.
Many problems can cause failure to get your penis standing erect. These include overwork, overfatigue, and cigarette smoking. Stress is the most common reason.
This stress can affect their sex life and even prevent them from satisfying their partners.
These times, men turn to male sexual enhancement products like Erectin.
For those of you who prefer a more visual experience, here is a video review from Dr. Shweta Singhal’s YouTube channel. You may want to read our article for a more comprehensive review of Erectin.
Erectin Overview Erectile Dysfunction Blue Pill
In simple words, Erectin is a male enhancement product that aims to elevate men’s sexuality. Erecting is a long-time product of Leading Edge Health company. It has manufactured the product since 2001. Erectin’s formula got an improvement in 2006.
The ingredients in this “improved” Erectin are almost identical. However, Bioperine was added to the supplement’s effectiveness.
In more complicated words, Erectin is a strong treatment for men who suffer from erectile dysfunction or lack of sex drive (libido). This product is for men who require a boost in sexual performance and stamina.
Erectin is unlike regular prescriptions. Rather, it is a supplement, and like most supplements, you take it on a regular basis. It is not recommended to take it before you have sex.
Speaking of work…
How Erectin works
The secret of Erectin lies in the ingredients that were used to make it and the precise way that they are formulated. They have different effects on men’s sexual health. Most of these effects may seem insignificant at first. These effects add up to a significant difference when they are all taken together.
Testosterone, the male sex hormone, is responsible for both sperm production and men’s sexual drive. A decrease in testosterone levels can lead to a reduction in men’s libido.
Other things that testosterone does is play a role in muscle development as well as the basic growth of the male gender. The testosterone that makes men men is, in short, the hormone.
Low or imbalanced levels of this hormone can lead to many adverse effects. This can lead to weight gain, depression, or even erectile dysfunction.
Erectin can increase testosterone levels. Supplements that contain testosterone-boosting ingredients have been shown to increase testosterone levels. As such, people who may have lower testosterone levels have experienced decreased symptoms or, after a month of taking the supplement.
Increase Blood Flow to the Penis
Men can get rock-hard by letting blood flow through their penis. Erectin contains ingredients that stimulate blood flow to the genitalia of men.
The nitric dioxide acts as a Vasodilator to the blood towards the penis. Vasodilator refers to a substance that helps transport blood to multiple areas of the body.
Nitric oxide will relax the spongy tissues in the penis once it reaches it. Both substances then engorge that creates an erection. This allows blood to flow freely through the spongy tissue.
Get a Sex Drive Boost
There are also ingredients found in Erectin that other cultures have used as aphrodisiacs for centuries. It is still a mystery as to how certain ingredients work. This is something that even the scientific community can’t figure out.
These have undisputed effects, and there is some evidence to support their effectiveness. Although not conclusive, some studies are favoring their effectiveness.
Erectile dysfunction ingredients
Erectin is made up of 11 natural ingredients that make up an effective formula. These ingredients have been carefully formulated to improve male sexual performance. The ingredients list includes testosterone boosters, vasodilation effects, and even some aphrodisiacs.
Here is a list with all the ingredients and their actual functions.
One of the main ingredients in Erectin is the Hawthorn Berry, more specifically, the Chinese Hawthorn (Scientific name: Crataegus pinnatifida).
The main point of this ingredient is that it has strong vasodilation effects. Which means it is a powerful vitamin that helps promote blood circulation. Good circulation is key to a healthy erection.
As such, the developers of Erectin have cleverly exploited this ability in formulating Erectin.
Specifically speaking, Hawthorn Berries help in the dilation of blood vessels as well as in the prevention of stenosis of muscle walls. This leads to lower blood pressure and less stress. In the end, this results in harder erections that last longer and more intense orgasms.
Another thing to note about Hawthorne Berries is that it is also known for its strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It is also used in Chinese medicine to treat heart disease.
Korean Red Ginseng
For years, ginseng has been used to improve overall health. It is known for its ability to strengthen the immune system, fight stress and other diseases.
Research has shown that Korean red ginseng roots increase the body’s production of Nitric oxide. As we know, this Nitric oxide is essential in the making of erections. It is one of the most important ingredients to eliminate erectile dysfunction.
Korean Red ginseng has been well known to boost sexual stamina and energy since 3,500 years ago.
Another benefit of Korean Red Ginseng is its ability to improve your heart health and immune system. The powerful stimulation power of the plant has also been known to increase focus and alertness as well as enhance both physical and mental energy.
Ginkgo Biloba Extract
Ginkgo, a well-known herb remedy, has been used to treat many ailments. It has been used to treat dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, and even fatigue. It has also been used to treat anxiety and depression.
Ginkgo is a Chinese herb that has been used to treat sexual problems. Modern research supports this claim with reports that ginkgo enhances desire, erectile power, orgasm quality and recovery.
Horny goat weed
This ingredient is also known by its other name: Epimedium, and it is another well-known plant in Chinese medicine where it is known as Yin yang huo. This plant has been considered “legendary” by those who practice Eastern Medicine.
It is used as an erectile aid and as an aphrodisiac in Traditional Chinese Medicine. It has been shown to increase testosterone in laboratory animals.
So how does the ingredient function as an erectile aid? Bioactive chemicals improve blood flow for erections. These erections are more difficult to control and larger.
The plant also contains icariin, which contributes to its many benefits. Icariin is a natural substance that helps regulate hormones and cardiovascular health.
It blocks an enzyme that causes erectile dysfunction in men.
Muira Puama bark Extract
Found in the Jungles of the Amazon in Brazil, this plant has been a staple of Brazilian folk medicine. It is used to reduce stress, boost energy and stimulate sexual performance.
It is a strong natural aphrodisiac that has been used in a number of sexual enhancement products as well as as a health ingredient.
Muira Puama has been proven to promote good blood circulation within the reproductive system, according to a scientific study. As such, it may provide a bigger, harder, and more stable erection with a capacity for greater penetration.
This ingredient can also increase mental performance. It is associated with better psychology, higher mood and greater self-confidence. In the physical sense, it can enhance physical endurance and performance.
It is actually called the Chinese Dodder and can be found in India, China, Pakistan, Vietnam, Thailand, India, Vietnam, Thailand, and Pakistan.
This plant is often found in supplements, especially for liver or kidney stimulants.
It is an analgesic and aphrodisiac agent that provides strong pain relief. It has a role in testosterone production, mainly to enhance it.
It is also involved in the relaxation of penile cavernous tissue. This allows blood flow to the male genitalia to increase. As such, it has a hand in creating harder and more durable erections.
Saw Palmetto, or Serenoa repens, is a palm tree growing mainly in the southeastern part of the United States. Its fruits have been known to reduce hair loss and fight inflammation.
Saw Palmetto can also be used to treat urinary problems. It has been shown to be effective in treating sexual and reproductive dysfunction. Saw Palmetto can also be used to improve the health of the prostate.
In the case of Erectin, it is among the ingredients that promote a high sexual drive. It has been shown to improve men’s overall health.
Tribulus Terrestris Seed Extract
Tribulus Terrestris Seed Extract is a top choice for enhancing athletic performance. And let’s face it, sex can be considered an athletic performance, especially for those who prefer the more acrobatic position.
Tribulus Terrestris Seed Oil is used in many health and male health products, as well as sports supplements.
Tribulus Terrestris, a popular herb, is also a common one whose roots can be traced back to Traditional Chinese Medicine as well as Indian Ayurvedic Medicine.
This seed extract has a very high potential to act as a natural testosterone booster. In consequence, it may be implied that it has the potential to be a natural libido booster.
In conclusion, Tribulus Terrestris Seed extract is an ingredient that can lead to several sexual benefits, which include an increase in libido and an improvement in semen quality.
Fatigue can lead to erectile dysfunction and sexual dysfunction. Erectin contains a stimulant that works to combat fatigue.
The Catuaba bark is here. Mostly found in the Brazilian rainforest, its name means “what gives strength to the Indian.” Therein lies the potential of this ingredient.
Catauba bark is known to increase sexual arousal. This ingredient can be a great help to men who are tired and stressed and have low libido.
Damiana leaf, or Turneradiffusa, is another ingredient that is of Central to South American in nature. In this case, Damiana is particularly found in Mexico, Central and South America, and the Caribbean.
Damiana is included in the Erectin formulation because of its ability to function as an aphrodisiac. It is a strong energy stimulant. It can improve a person’s mood and sexual performance.
Further notes on the damiana include its ability to act as a remedy for stress and fatigue. It has also been used as a treatment for sexual nonperformance. It can be used in the bedroom to increase erotic moods and possibly even improve sexual performance.
Damiana has even been known to have synergy with ginkgo and ginseng, which are also found in Erectin’s advanced formula.
Bioperine Black Pepper Extract
The last ingredient that is found in Erectin is the Bioperine Black Pepper Extract, unlike the other ingredients found on the list. Bioperine doesn’t directly target any aspect of men’s sexual health.
Rather, it is an ingredient that helps the body absorb the other ingredients faster. This allows the Erectin formula work faster than other supplements.
Furthermore, this is the only ingredient added to the original formula of Erectin. Basically, this is what enhanced Erectin’s already effective formula to what it is now.
What makes erectin so special?
As a male enhancement pill, Erectin helps men in getting erections whenever they need it. Erectin supplies the body with all the nutrients it needs to achieve and maintain a erection. Erectile Dysfunction Blue Pill
However, most male enhancement pills work more or less similarly. So what else makes Erectin Unique?
Erectin can be found in liquid gel caps or liquid gel capsules. This allows for a higher absorption rate than regular tablets. These liquid gelcaps allow for less to no nutrients left unabsorbed, and as such, you can expect the results to come out faster than other pills.
The gel caps also have an EC (enteric coating) absorption technology. This helps the Erectin ingredients from degrading in the stomach acid. This means that the nutrients will not be wasted and will only release when they are meant to be released. It is just more efficient this way.
Erectin’s one ingredient, Bioperine, improves the supplement’s bioavailability. This allows the body to absorb the ingredients and nutrients faster than the others.
What to Expect when Taking Erectin
Erectin, like many supplements, is not a miracle cure. It also does not work overnight. For supplements like Erectin to work, you have to take them regularly. It will take consistency and patience to finally see results.
Trust is the most important thing.
They will gradually show up as they are expected. This is not to surprise you. The majority of the benefits and effects will manifest in stages. Erectile Dysfunction Blue Pill
Take note that the effects may sometimes take sooner or later to appear. This depends on your diet, health, and overall body. However, most users agree that this is the consensus.
For the first month: Most users have seen the effects on their erections within three to four weeks of using Erectin. Some users have experienced more and better erections. While users may feel that their penis is enlarged, it isn’t that.
What it is really is that the penis receives more blood than it can hold when erect, thus giving the impression of a bigger erect penis.
For the second month: Most users have felt an increase in their sex drive. Some have even reported that they last longer in bed compared to before. Some reports also suggest that this is when some positive side effects like less anxiety or depression, occur.
Take note: While Erectin has the side effects of reducing depression and anxiety, it is not an anti-depressant. For proper medication for depression, go visit your psychologist or, if you can, talk to your friends about your problems.
It does not appear that the third month brings newer effects. It seems that the effects experienced in the previous two months are more stable and have improved. Most people use the term “more confidence,” which is a positive overall effect.
Erectin Dosage and Instructions
Regular use of Erectin is important to ensure Erectin’s effectiveness. Two pills daily is the recommended dose. Ideally, these pills should be taken with meals.
A good barometer for this is to take one pill in the morning and another pill during dinner.
Once you get used to this, you can choose to increase your dosage up to four pills per day. You must get the approval of your doctor before you increase your dosage. Erectile Dysfunction Blue Pill
Exceeding more than four pills within 24 hours is not recommended and may cause unwanted side effects.
Side effects of erectin
Erectin is all-natural, so there aren’t many side effects. So far, the only reported negative effect from the company’s clinical trial is a mild fever.
Erectin can interact with some other medications, but not all. Keep in mind that Erectin does affect blood flow. As such, it might not be good for people taking heart health medicine and those suffering from significant cardiovascular diseases.
Like all supplements, it would be wise to check with your doctor if it is safe for you to follow an Erectin or any other Male Sexual Health Supplement regimen. Failure to do so may prove fatal to you.
I tried Erectin for the first time a few months ago. I bought it after having a few problems performing in bed caused by some mental stress and worry about the present times. It’s hard to not worry about things you don’t control, but it does affect you.
Initial, I was skeptical. It seemed like nothing was really working. In the first two weeks I felt like this was a waste of time and thought I might return my Erectin bottles to get what I paid.
But, I knew in my heart that I had to keep going. Perhaps I should give it another week before giving up. Erectile Dysfunction Blue Pill
My dear friends, it’s always good to trust your gut instincts. It took me only one week to see the effects of the supplement. It started out with giving a massage to my wife, and then things went wild from there.
It was only after I realized that it’s been a long time since we had gotten intimate like that, and it wasn’t just intimate. It was amazing. It was amazing. My wife and I had a lot of fun throughout the day. Then it continued for several weeks.
It has been several months since then and I am happy to report that my wife is back to her regular sex life. Erectin, healthy eating habits, and lots of exercise are the things that brought me back to my former self.
Erectin is a great product at a reasonable price. It also offers a lot of value when you buy it. There are three options for purchasing it: one, three, or six-month supplies.
Choosing the bigger packages might cost more, but it also allows for huge discounts in the long run. Choosing the six months supply also nets you free shipping and gives you more rewards and freebies.
Erectin is not available in mainstream stores. It is only available through the official store on their official website. The company was unable to verify that stocks purchased at Amazon, Walmart and GNC were genuine. Be very careful when purchasing from the theme, as they could be potential fakes.

Dedicated exclusively to the work and legacy of 20th-century American abstract expressionist Clyfford Still, this fascinating museum's collection includes more than 2400 pieces – 95% of his work – by the powerful and narcissistic master. His works are exhibited in thoughtful rotating exhibits.
In his will, Still insisted that his body of work only be exhibited in a singular space, so Denver commissioned architect Brad Cloepfil to build him a museum. The imposing concrete structure took almost two years to complete and provides over 9000 sq ft of gallery space. The entrance area has been deliberately designed as a dark space to allow visitors to become more sensitive to the creative use of light inside after bright sunshine.
Tickets and tours
Tickets are $10 for adults and can be purchased online or at reception. It's free for anyone under 17 but a ticket is still required for admission. While the museum is less geared to children than the neighboring Denver Art Museum, there's a fun scavenger hunt that little ones will love. Free tours are offered throughout the week; check the website for dates and times. | <urn:uuid:c05f89f9-3ce6-409f-b6fa-e5fe5b3a5761> | CC-MAIN-2023-14 | https://www.lonelyplanet.com/usa/rocky-mountains/denver/attractions/clyfford-still-museum/a/poi-sig/1382144/362114 | 2023-03-29T06:42:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-14/segments/1679296948951.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20230329054547-20230329084547-00290.warc.gz | en | 0.967788 | 223 |

At the end of the day Audrey told me this was the "best day". I asked "does that include the surgery?" She said "yes". I hope she always sees the good in things. What a sweetie!

Any of you who use Windows Hotmail or/and Windows Live Messenger, check out the link below. It's a super easy way to donate to a good cause and it won't cost you a thing. http://www.nationalmssociety.org/online-community/live-messenger-and-hotmail/index.aspx
On Friday: After school Audrey was in her Nannie Wizza's sewing room playing as she always does when she decided she would cut her own bangs. She cut one be chunk out when her Aunt Heather walked in.
It ended up not being too bad, Heather was able to fix them so that you can hardly tell. When you lift her bangs up you can see a very short piece of hair. Thank you Heather for doing such a good job making them look good!
When I saw Audrey I told her most people let others cut their hair because it's not easy to do yourself, I also mentioned that if you were to do it yourself you have to have a mirror, she said she used the T.V. screen. What a Nut! But a Nut that is always thinking! I don't think she will do it again or at least not until she's a teenager.
What's funny is that I've noticed over the years that many of the little girls in Kindergarten and Pre-k have had very short bangs.

Miami Beach mayor proposes minimum-wage hike in defiance of Florida law
Miami Beach Mayor Philip Levine has proposed setting a citywide minimum wage higher than the state rate — a measure that would please local organized labor officials, directly challenge state laws and impact the city’s hospitality industry.
Such a change, which is prohibited by the state and could land the city in a legal battle with Tallahassee, would make Miami Beach the first local government in Florida to require all employers to adhere to a minimum wage set by City Hall.
The mayor wants to set a city minimum wage higher than the state’s current rate of $8.05. Starting in July 2017, the city would require a minimum wage of $10.31. It would increase a dollar a year until it reaches $13.31 in 2020. That figure is the “living wage” already adopted for city employees without benefits. In 2021, the City Commission would have the discretion to increase the minimum wage further using the local consumer price index.
Employers of tipped workers would still be able to pay a lower federal minimum wage if tips get the workers’ wages up to the city-mandated minimum.
Levine, who was flying in from out of town, could not attend the press conference he called to announce his proposal Wednesday afternoon due to weather delays.
“We continue to hear stories from our residents who are unable to live and work in Miami Beach because of the high costs of rent, transportation and basic living costs,” said Levine in a prepared statement. “But today, we start addressing this growing problem through higher wages by establishing a citywide minimum living wage.”
The City Commission will consider the proposal May 11.
The proposal will likely surprise many in the Beach’s bustling hospitality industry, a segment of the private sector that is the city’s lifeblood. City Hall relies on a vibrant tourism industry to bolster its budget through hotel taxes.
As costs of living steadily increase for all, many of the hourly workers who form the backbone of the tourism industry have not seen their wages keep up. Wages stagnate as wealth continues to flood the area, creating one of the widest income gaps between the rich and poor in the country.
Antoinette Quintyne, a caregiver at a Miami Beach nursing home and single mother of four, said she’s seen her expenses go up faster than her income.
“I’m struggling,” she said. “It’s tough living on minimum wage.”
Rents are skyrocketing, making it harder for hourly wage earners who live in Miami Beach to continue to do so. In South Beach, renters in 15 low-rise apartment buildings were recently hit with news that rents would go up between 35 and 50 percent after a new landlord renovates the units.
When the Herald reported on the rent hikes and the likely displacement of local hospitality workers, Levine said private industry needed to step up.
“The fact that [people] work and live in Miami Beach and can’t afford to live here means to me that our hotel and hospitality industry isn’t paying enough,” he said in February.
SoBe, so long: After $59 million apartment sale, locals dread rent hikes
One hotelier voiced his support for the ordinance in a statement Wednesday.
“Our business is proud to stand with Mayor Levine as he works with his colleagues on the City Commission to pass fiscally and socially responsible legislation that makes Miami Beach a leader in addressing minimum wages,” said Jonathan Plutzik, owner of The Betsy Hotel on Ocean Drive.
Labor union officials are also backing the ordinance. Monica Russo, president of the SEIU Florida State Council, called rising costs of living with stagnant wages a “real threat to Florida’s economy” in a statement.
“We applaud Mayor Levine for showing real leadership on an issue that for so many means the difference between buying food or paying rent,” she said.
Business leaders will be watching next week’s vote closely. Tourism leaders, particularly the hotel industry, would likely feel the impact the most. Officials from Greater Miami and The Beaches Hotel Association and the Greater Miami Convention and Visitors Bureau did not return requests for comment Wednesday night.
Michael Goldberg, chairman of the Miami Beach Chamber of Commerce, attended the press conference and said business owners would look at the specifics of the proposal before taking a stance.
“We going to study the full ordinance, go through all the facts and potential consequences,” he said.
Apart from the ripple effects in the Beach community, City Hall could be welcoming a legal battle with the state if it chooses to pass the ordinance.
Controversial minimum wage ordinances in other cities like Los Angeles and Seattle have been lauded as progressive social policy by some and criticized as job killers by others. But in Florida, cities and counties are preempted by the state from setting their own minimums. The state prohibition went into effect in 2005.
Miami Beach’s legal department is arguing that the state’s preemption is unconstitutional because of an amendment to Florida’s constitution passed by 71 percent of voters in 2004 that set a state minimum wage higher than the federal rate and seems to leave the door open for local governments to create their own wage laws.
“I don’t think [state officials] could walk into court with a straight face and defend this,” said First Assistant City Attorney Robert Rosenwald, who drafted the ordinance.
Kansas City faced a similar prohibition in October, when its City Council wanted to implement a citywide minimum wage but was blocked by state lawmakers. | <urn:uuid:b566dce9-cfb0-479d-9945-fcbfbd622314> | CC-MAIN-2019-18 | https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/miami-dade/miami-beach/article75584627.html | 2019-04-20T11:18:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-18/segments/1555578529606.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20190420100901-20190420122901-00160.warc.gz | en | 0.958074 | 1,178 |
In 1971 J. Standard Baker Quoted " Drivers Towing Trailers Are Four (4) Times As Unsafe As Those In Cars Alone!
TA loose trailer from a Hanover Fire came loose on I-95 and caused an accident and traffic jams...
We make this point...the accident happened the first week of October and we ask...
NBC 12 did not cover it
ABC Did not cover it
CBS did not cover it
and the Richmond Times Dispatch did not cover it.
They all listen to the radio of our police...and they all knew what happened but yet nobody covered this story?
Which leads me to this observation why?
It seems to me that the media is choosing not to cover the story of all of these loose trailers in our area because they know I am looking for them. I have other reports from Henrico County VA where loose trailers have come off and they tell me they have no records.
In this case I had 4 different people contact me and tell me they saw the accident and then I contacted Hanover and told them that if they did not tell the truth I would produce the 4 people and then we will find out who is not telling the truth. They did the right thing
Yes we do have a national emergency...with all the resourses the Fire departments have a Tire should not Blow OUT.
Then the hitch pin should not break and the trailer should not come off in the first place.
Unless we are towing with defective equipment....and we are.
Then if I can provide evidence of since 1975 over 20,000 dead men, women and children by passenger vehicles that tow trailers land then add over 100,000 dead horses then why are we the ones who are getting harassed by Henrico County VA? | <urn:uuid:7a022fdf-822d-403e-a258-0531f86c0702> | CC-MAIN-2022-27 | https://www.dangeroustrailers.org/hanover-fire-truck-looses-trailer-and-nobody-covered-it---.html | 2022-06-25T11:39:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-27/segments/1656103034930.3/warc/CC-MAIN-20220625095705-20220625125705-00347.warc.gz | en | 0.95661 | 385 |
House and pet sitter wanted on the beautiful island of Langeland, Denmark
Hi lovely house sitters!
My partner and I have recently located from Amsterdam to Denmark. We are now living on a small farm on the beautiful island of Langeland, only a few hundred metres away from the beach.
Without specific dates in mind, we are looking for a reliable, caring and nice person (or couple or small family) to look after our furry family members and farm once in a while, so we can go away on nice long weekends or on a holiday. We are flexible with the dates and the duration of the stay, as long as we find the right housesitter(s).
We have a bunch of lovel animals:
- our dogs Peanut (Beagle x Tibet Terrier) and QQ (Jack Russell x Bichon), both 12 years old
- our new addition Lucy, a currently 4 months old, well behaved German Shepherd puppy
- Bart, the "little" Main Coon, 9 months old
- and our 6 hens, that lay happy and tasty eggs for us (and you) every day!...
We live in a beautiful traditional danish farm house, which we are continously renovating and which is becoming nicer by the day (it's already very charming now!). We have beautiful gardens, and a Hazelnut orchard. Depending on the time of the year you would like to house sit, different things may need to be done on the farm. In winter it's mainly only looking after the animals, other months some outside work may be required as well. But it's all very nice, relaxing and fun work mostly, so don't worry ! :)
Most important are our animals and that they receive plenty of love and exercise every day.
Our animals are all very sweet and fun and I have no doubt you'll be having a wonderful time if you decide to come and pet sit in our home. + More info
Our Home & Location
Lovely farm in Tullebølle on the island of Langeland in Denmark. We are located a few hundred metres from the beach, and also have a supermarket and bakery in near proximity.

A huge thank you to our Janitorial staff for keeping our facility clean for our customers every day. Over the last few months I have communicated with many of our Suncoast families from multiple programs and it is amazing to watch athletes start in our Kicking Kangaroo Classes with Coach Kari to one-day become a competitive gymnast with Coach Sarah, Alexis, and Heather. Our competitive program had an INCREDIBLE SEASON with a combined 15 athletes qualifying for Regionals. I also have watch athletes have an incredible season in our Champions Team with Coach Eric! Using the help of our office manager Jen and her staff, we have been able to eliminate as many waitlists as possible to get our athletes in to our recreational classes. New love for our Trophy Meets and Ninja Competitions have given our athletes something to look forward to and TRAIN for! Our Ninja Director, Aubrey, and our Developmental Gymnastics Director , Vichai, have been working incredibly hard for these athletes on a weekly basis. Let's not forget about the throwback dance recital coming up in June! The re-branding of our Dance Program under Jessica has been a phenomenal transition and we are so excited for our dancers! As we flip and tumble into summer with our Trampoline and Tumbling program athletes are moving up to team and our competitive athletes are finishing their season! Coach Jazmyn and Coach Sarah have been working diligently to help our competitive AAU program merge smoothly into our USAG Program and this is incredibly exciting. Over the next few months with our amazing marketing manager and photographer, Amanda, the updates on Suncoast will continue to be sent out via email and social media outlets.
I am so proud of our staff and our directors. I believe we have the absolute best team there is to offer to youth athletics. I thank our staff, our families, and the continuous support of everyone to help Suncoast be the home for athletics like it is today. My goal in the next few weeks, months, and years is to NEVER stop implementing and innovating for our athletes, staff, local businesses, and our Suncoast families. | <urn:uuid:f176cb77-dde8-49c8-a62d-e6fae78e9d3c> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.suncoastgymnastics.com/post/2022-sun-note | 2022-08-10T11:40:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571153.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810100712-20220810130712-00308.warc.gz | en | 0.96534 | 564 |
About a month ago, I had this spontaneous idea to fly to Chicago to meet two very special ladies... my donor mentors. I couldn't think of a better way to ring in the new year, than to celebrate it with two women that have made such an impact in my life. Both of these women reside in Chicago and it just seemed so perfect for me to take advantage of their proximity to one another. I called Cara Yesawich and asked her what she thought. Kinda weird calling someone you've never met and basically inviting yourself to stay with them for a few days to celebrate New Year's Eve. Just as I expected, she was more than happy to have me and I immediately contacted my other mentor, Robyn Wheatley, to let her know of my plans, hoping she would be just as receptive. She was. I bought my tickets the next day and since then, it was almost all I could think about.
The opportunity to meet these women was something I never really thought would ever happen. I decided that I need to begin making these important moments in my life start happening. I have a habit of saying "I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna do that..." and I never do any of it. It's all well thought out, but it never really happens. Shame on me. Life is too short and I have decided that when something means that much to me, I need to do everything possible to bring it to fruition. I was scheduled to depart Albany on Thursday afternoon, and then return on Sunday afternoon. A nice long weekend with two very beautiful women and an opportunity to tear up the Windy City into 2011, together - the three' kidney sisters.'
My trip never happened. Cara called several days ago to tell me that she was needed to care for a dear friend who had become ill. I could hear it in her voice how hesitant she was to tell me, for fear of disappointing me and ruining our New Year's Eve plans. She was right, I was disappointed. I was disappointed that I would not be able to see her and Robyn. But, I was relieved and not all that surprised that she didn't hesitate to come to the need of her friend. Cara is one of the most selfless people I know. Of course I would understand and quite honestly, I wouldn't have it any other way. She needs to be with her friend, and canceling my flight took all of 3 minutes. No big deal. I will reschedule for a trip in Spring and explore the city with them when we can wear our flip-flops instead of our snowsuits.
Friday afternoon I decided I would spend my New Year's attending a performance by Savion Glover performing locally here at The Egg . Three years ago I had tickets to see him and became violently ill at a pre-performance dinner with a friend and had to eat the tickets. I should have eaten the tickets, literally, then I wouldn't have barfed all over the place. So, when I saw he was going to be here on the 31st, I jumped at this opportunity to finally see him. What a phenomenal show! I find his talent fascinating to watch and the energy he exudes is amazing. Anyhow, I ended up having a wonderful evening, despite not being able to be with my friends.
I share this story with you because I think it's important to remind ourselves sometimes that life is full of disappointments. We can't always have things the way we want them, or when we want them, or even with whom we want them to be with. Sometimes we just get dealt the crappy hand. I decided to take advantage of my free night and spend it doing something that I knew would make me smile. And it did!
2011 is here now, and this new year once again brings some new opportunities to all of us. Take it one day at a time, and never forget that there is no dress rehearsal in life. I'm going to try my best to make some pretty damn good lemonade with the lemons life hands me.

After dominating the third and final stage which ended with a 2 kilometer run, super runner Richard Murray of South Africa took the Day 1 overall lead, followed by super swimmer Richard Varga of Slovakia in 2nd and Australian Olympian Ryan Bailie in 3rd.
In their wake was a strong invitation-only field of men including 2016 WTS World champion Mario Mola, 2016 WTs Grand Final winner Henri Schoeman of South Africa and long course star Brent McMahon of Canada.
While the live streaming video coverage and commentary led by Chris McCormack and Emma Frodeno was equal to the top notch World Triathlon Series efforts, understanding the big picture was hampered by lack of official timing and full results on the live coverage – still missing six hours after the fact. Most outstanding aspect was the thrilling multi-loop bike course which included a 14 percent gradient over 200 meters on Mango Tree Hill and a narrow, twisting high speed downhill which rewarded bike handling skills and courage.
Round One – Swim 300 meters / Bike 6 kilometers / Run 2 kilometers
2 of 3 photos
Richard Varga of Slovakia led the swim in a 3:21 split, trailed by Igor Polyanskiy of Russia, Henri Schoeman of South Africa, Jake Birtwhistle of Australia, Mola and Gomez. Once on the cycling leg, Varga led the first lap followed 4 seconds later by Ben Shaw of Ireland with Gomez 9th and Alistair Brownlee obviously off form in 17th place. Next, Shaw joined Varga at the front and shortly thereafter, Ironman 70.3 specialist Josh Amberger took the lead, then Shaw took a solo turn at the front. On the 5th of 6 laps, Shaw miscounted and took his feet out of the bike shoes one lap too early and fell back into the chase pack. On the third leg, Ryan Fisher of Australia took an early lead followed by Kristian Blummenfelt of Norway, and Gomez. By the finish, super runners prevailed as Jake Birtwhistle of Australia led across the line, followed by Mola and Murray.
Round Two – Run 2k / Bike 6k / Swim 300 meters
At the start of the run, competitors were led out on a rolling start in order of their finish at the end of Round 1 – but were not separated by their gap times from the leader. Shaw, making up for his crucial lap counting error, and Birtwhistle led the field through all four laps. Fisher and Birtwhistle surged to the lead on the bike while Brownlee faded to the back of the pack. By the end of the ride, Shaw fought back and joined Fisher at the lead in T2 and leapt into the water together followed by Birtwhistle. Once again, Varga’s swim strength served him well as he overtook Fisher, Shaw and Birtwhistle to take the stage 2 win followed by Andrea Salvisberg of Switzerland and Igor Polyanskiy 3rd.
Round 3 – Bike 6k / Swim 300 meters / Run 2k
On the opening bike leg, Josh Amberger of Australia and Andrea Salvisberg surged to the front and built a 15-seconds lead after four laps. Brent McMahon led the chase pack, but it was Ryan Bailie of Australia who made a heroic charge to join Amberger and Salvisberg arriving in transition with the lead. Underlining the risks of the serpentine high speed downhill, Shaw crashed out on the turnout of transition. Salvisberg led the trio into the dismount and was first to take a flying leap into the water and led the pack to the first buoy. Varga then took over the lead, with Ryan Bailie on his shoulder.

In 5th place on the swim, Murray was close enough to strike quickly on the run. Murray kept building his dominating lead, lapping Alistair Brownlee and earning enough of a winning gap to take the combined overall lead at the end of Day 1 and in excellent position to vie for the $100,000 top prize for the overall winner at the end of Day 3. Varga and Bailie sprinted for second place with Varga edging Bailie at the line.
Given the larger time gaps from the leaders to the chasers in the third round, the third round podium duplicated the top three finishers on Day 1 – Murray, Varga and Bailie.
“I planned to take it pretty easy on the first day, but then on the last run I noticed the favorites were behind me, so I knew it was my moment to go,” Murray told Triaguide.com. “I don’t think [Alistair] was in the best shape ever when he came here. I can’t say it wasn’t great, I’ve done it once before, but I think he had an injury, maybe the heat got to him or something.” | <urn:uuid:64984a0d-3173-4617-98e3-28abbb7a57a0> | CC-MAIN-2017-17 | http://www.slowtwitch.com/Photos/News/Murray_leads_Super_League_Day_1_j6256.html | 2017-04-27T03:07:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-17/segments/1492917121865.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20170423031201-00560-ip-10-145-167-34.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.970053 | 1,028 |

1. And yet the species of all genera are interblended with all genera; some which have previously been made, some which are made from these.
The latter, then, which are being made,—either by Gods, or daimons, or by men,—are species all most closely like to their own several genera.
For that it is impossible that bodies should be formed without the will of God; or species be configured without the help of daimons; or animals be taught and trained without the help of men.
2. Whoever of the daimons, then, transcending their own genus, are, by chance, united with a species, by reason of the neighbourhood of any species of the Godlike class,—these are considered like to Gods.
Whereas those species of the daimons which continue in the quality of their own class,—these love mens rational nature [and occupy themselves with men], and are called daimons proper.
Likewise is it the case with men, or more so even. Diverse and multiform, the species of mankind. And coming in itself from the association spoken of above, it of necessity doth bring about a multitude of combinations of all other species and almost of all things.

Tyron Woodley knocks out Robbie Lawler, crowned new welterweight champion
Tyron Woodley defeated Robbie Lawler at UFC 201 in Atlanta on Saturday night. (Carmine Marinelli/Postmedia Network/Files)
Forget all the questions about ring rust or whether Tyron Woodley was deserving of a title shot against welterweight king Robbie Lawler.
On Saturday night at UFC 201, Woodley did everything that was asked of him and walked away from the evening as the UFC’s welterweight champion.
And he did it in spectacular fashion, connecting with a massive right hand and knocking out one of the toughest men in MMA history.
“I knew what Robbie (Lawler) brought to the table, he’s a tough competitor,” Woodley said in the octagon after the fight. “This is not the first fight I would’ve picked.”
With the KO, Woodley became only the second fighter -- Nick Diaz is the other -- to knock out Lawler in a career that’s lasted more than a decade and a half. Lawler had gained a reputation for being able to take inhuman amounts of punishment in recent years, surviving all-out wars with Rory MacDonald and Carlos Condit in the past 13 months.
But Woodley found a way to knock him out, hiding his intentions before unleashing a massive overhand right at the 2:21 mark of the first round.
“It is what it is, he feinted me, my hand went down and he caught me,” Lawler said. “I expected that kind of stuff but I was sitting back and not moving like I needed to and he took advantage.”
Hold off on writing those obituaries for Jake Ellenberger’s career.
The man once considered to be among the best welterweights in the world hasn’t looked like much of a contender over the past three years. With five losses in his last six fights, Ellenberger entered Saturday night’s bout against Matt Brown knowing that a loss might mark the end of his career.
But the Ellenberger who entered the octagon in Atlanta at UFC 201 looked like the man who came so close to fighting for the title a couple years ago. He connected with a perfect punch right to Brown’s chin on virtually the first exchange of the fight and then finished the match minutes later with a kick to Brown’s liver.
“We’ve been working on that kick to his liver for a good 10 weeks now, but it paid off tonight,” Ellenberger said in the octagon after the fight. “Right away, I was going to try to finish, but Matt’s shown in the past he’s extremely durable ... I just had to stop being so damn nice.”
While Brown has been on a rough run of his own in recent years, he remains a top-10 welterweight and is a big enough name that beating him should earn Ellenberger a bit of a safety net for his UFC career.
He might not be fighting for the title any time soon, but he’ll be fighting in the UFC. That’s a pretty nice consolation prize.
ON SECOND THOUGHT
When it was announced that Wilson Reis would be fighting flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson at UFC 201, most of the MMA world simply shrugged.
Johnson’s run through the best of his division, and at the time Reis was ranked No. 11 in the official flyweight rankings and wasn’t exactly on anyone’s radar as a legitimate contender.
Then, the champion pulled out of the fight due to injury and the UFC chose to pit Reis against Hector Sandoval, who is a talented prospect but not exactly among the 125-lb. elite.
On Saturday, Reis took his opportunity against Sandoval and showed that he might not be such a longshot against Johnson after all, finishing his opponent with the fastest submission in UFC flyweight division history.
“It was very frustrating at first,” Reis said in the octagon afterwards about having his title chance ripped away. “I was upset I couldn’t fight Demetrious at a later date.”
Johnson is scheduled to fight the winner of the next season of The Ultimate Fighter later in the year, so even with his impressive victory it’s not as if Reis is going to be getting another chance at fighting for the belt anytime soon.
But he solidified his position as one of the most intriguing prospects in the division, so it’s likely that the UFC will give him a big name next. In a division where Johnson has beaten pretty much everybody, there’s no shortage of interesting possibilities.
At the top of that list is probably Ian McCall, who was supposed to fight Justin Scoggins on Saturday night but was pulled from the card when Scoggins couldn’t make weight. McCall’s been out of the fight game for a little while but remains a big name, so assuming Reis didn’t suffer any injuries while making quick work of Sandoval a fight between the two could be booked for early autumn.
Ultimately, that might be the best possible thing for Reis.
Johnson has been so dominant that the UFC has often offered him opponents who didn’t seem quite ready for their shot at the big time. Both Kyoji Horiguchi and Henry Cejudo were on the rise when they fought Johnson, but there’s an argument to be made that they were rushed into title fights too early and could have used a little more seasoning.
It looks like Reis is going to be given the opportunity to improve his craft for a little while longer, and that may just end up being a blessing in disguise.
ON THE MAP
If anyone’s looking for the next great Canadian MMA fighter, they should start paying attention to Hakeem Dawodu.
The Calgarian muay thai champion put on a performance to remember on Saturday’s World Series of Fighting card, finishing Marat Magomedov in the second round of their fight.
The match was a rematch of their fight from earlier this year, when Magomedov’s wrestling dominated the first two rounds before Dawodu earned a draw by utterly destroying the Russian.
On Saturday, it looked like it might be more of the same, with Magomedov taking the fight to the ground, but Dawodu fought through several arm-bars and connected with a few big punches and knees in the closing seconds.
“My arm started cracking a little bit, I heard a little bit of cracking but I’d rather have my arm break than lose, I can’t lose,” Dawodu said in the ring after the fight. “A lot of emotions (right now), I believe I’m the best fighter in the world so that last performance really pissed me off because people were thinking he was equal to me. Nobody is equal to me.”
Dawodu is likely to fight for the World Series of Fighting featherweight title next, and a move to the UFC might not be far behind if he claims that belt. His striking is on-par with many of the guys currently in the UFC’s 145 lbs. division top-10, and he put on a stunning display of his power in the second round on Saturday.
In that round, Dawodu defended two takedown attempts by Magomedov and followed up with a series of punches and knees that had his opponent bloodied. The final blow was a seemingly innocuous body shot, but Magomedov fell to the canvas and there was no question he was done. | <urn:uuid:fa5cbbdf-b6b2-4042-9ed9-072d508395c6> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://www.kenoradailyminerandnews.com/2016/07/31/tyron-woodley-knocks-out-robbie-lawler-crowned-new-welterweight-champion | 2017-11-19T21:23:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934805809.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20171119210640-20171119230640-00782.warc.gz | en | 0.975155 | 1,628 |

Wellington, Fla., March 11, 2007 -- The sign on the stable gate at the Palm Beach Polo Equestrian Club said it all: "Canada Again." Pinned up next to a red and white Canadian flag, it originally referred to the north-of-the-border gang's hijacking of Friday night's Nations' Cup for the second straight year.
But as the weekend went on, it became apparent that it referred to success after equestrian success, both at the show and down the road, where the Phelps Sports Challenge of the Americas was being held at the International Polo Club.
The Maple Leaf was raised once more today, as Mario Deslauriers won the $150,000 CN U.S. Open Jumper Championship, the richest competition thus far at the 2007 Winter Equestrian Festival.
Mario was the youngest rider ever to win the World Cup finals when he did it at the age of 19 in 1984. He may have lost a lot of hair since, but his ability is intact, as he demonstrated with a well-calculated ride on Paradigm to take the $50,000 first prize after handling a course that was unexpectedly tough.
Designer Pepe Gamarra had expected twice as many to go clean as the three riders who actually qualified for the tiebreaker, but time and again, the competitors were foiled. Footing has been an issue all week. On Thursday, there were a bunch of slips and falls on the grand prix field, which has succumbed to the pressure of seven weeks' showing and the thousands of trips over the surface during that time.
The grass hasn't held up, so 250,000 pounds of limestone screenings were dumped on the surface last week in an attempt to make it better. But Pepe thought competitors were (understandably) a little cautious. That led him to extend the time allowed from 74 seconds to 80 seconds after the first three riders tried their luck and had problems. Even with the extra grace on the clock, 14 of 39 entries had time penalties, nine retired and one fell.
"For sure, the condition of the ground plays a big role in horses having fences down and then this touches their confidence," said Olympic individual gold medalist Rodrigo Pessoa, part of the elite and international jump-off. The other contender was the USA's always determined Todd Minikus with Pavarotti.
Both of Mario's challengers had the disadvantage of not knowing their horses well. Rodrigo only had recently started riding Couer, who belongs to Hunter Harrison, the president of CN, the championship's sponsor. Todd bought his mount, the Dutch warmblood Pavarotti, a year ago and started grands prix with him in July. Todd believed the white-faced liver chestnut was "ready to move up, and luckily he was. He's been tossed into the deep end of the pool and has found his way to the edge."
Todd had the disadvantage of going first in the tiebreaker, but turned in a more than respectable time of 47.03 seconds.
Rodrigo went next on the generous gray who looks like a true Olympic prospect, logging would be the best time, 46.98 seconds, achieved with an inside turn after the narrow CN train obstacle, the third-to-last fence in the nine-fence tiebreaker. But speed came at a price, a rail down at the final fence that would put him third.
Mario knew what he had to do, and handled it just right.
"I watched Rodrigo go and his horse is a big mover, a little slow-going but a big mover. I tried to stay on the same track, but he turned inside after the train, and I left one out to the train, there was no way for me to turn inside. My horse is quick...so I knew I was close. I couldn't have told you how close, but close enough."
A look at the clock revealed that he was a little more than half a second better than Todd, who like Mario, left all the rails in place to finish as runner-up.
Earlier in the afternoon, Anne Kursinski paraded her 1996 Olympic team silver medal mount, Eros, in the show's second retirement ceremony. But it seemed no one mentioned retirement to Eros, who is 20 (since he is Australian-bred, he won't be officially 21 until August, because that's the way they do it there, Anne told me). Wearing the trademark red ribbon in his tail, he was so full of it Anne could barely hold him, and her mentor, George Morris, suggested he should go in the grand prix instead of being draped in a garland of flowers and led toward green pastures at Anne's New Jersey farm.
On Friday night, it was Carling King's turn to bow out. The ride of U.S.-based Irish rider Kevin Babington will now be living in his rider's backyard.
Saturday night, the Challenge of the Americas yielded another Canadian victory (okay, to be exact it was a Can/Am victory for a mixed Canadian/U.S. team), but the scoring for this mostly dressage fun competition is so complicated I doubt NASA could figure it out. Therefore, I won't bore you with the numbers.
The feature, which drew a capacity crowd at the polo club, just a few miles from the equestrian club, is devoted primarily to pas de deux and quadrilles, though this year an added feature was a high jump, with Candice King of the U.S. taking the unscheduled individual honors there after clearing 6-feet, 9-inches on the lighter-than-air gray, Perfekt.
Highlights among squads from the U.S. and Can/Am as well as an "international" group of varied backgrounds included a pas de deux to Michael Jackson tunes with Lisette Milner and Susanne Dansby-Phelps dressed like the gloved one in military braid on horses who inexplicably looked as if they were braided with curtain rings (darn, I should have asked them about that) and had white stars stenciled on their rumps. Tami Hoag and Betsy Steiner reprised their 2006 ride to the music from "Chicago," with their saddlepads and hatbands all a-glitter.
The six-horse quadrilles were a marvel of precision in their circles and pass-throughs that reminded me of shuffling a deck of cards.
There was lots of pink in evidence on horses and riders (even pink hair on the men on the Can/Am squad), since that is the symbol of the fight against breast cancer, and the event was a benefit for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. In the six years since it started as informal luncheon exhibition, the Challenge has raised nearly $600,000 for a good cause.
Steffen Peters and Edward Gal of the Netherlands were on hand as celebrity judges. Forget the rumors: Steffen said Floriano, the U.S. sensation at the World Equestrian Games last year, is ready to show in the League Finals at the end of March and take his shot to qualify for the World Cup in Las Vegas during April. Edward, who was second in the 2005 Cup in Vegas with Lingh (who now belongs to Karin Reid-Offield) told me he is planning to come to the Cup with Gribaldi.
And perennial World Cup champ Anky van Grunsven will, I am told, decide in a couple of weeks whether she is coming following the birth of her daughter, Eva, earlier this month. Do you have your tickets? This should be quite a show!
The Nations' Cup was a heartbreak for the U.S. and a hand-break for team member Lauren Hough, who fractured her right hand when Casadora refused twice in a triple combination. That left the team with only three riders, which meant all three scores had to count.
The teams with four riders were at an advantage and Canada made the most of it, winning on just a single time fault. The star of the evening for the top team was Erynn Ballard, who had the only Canadian double-clear. (Captain Canada, Ian Millar, might have done the same, but he didn't have to go in the second round because his squad was so far ahead.)
Interestingly, Erynn has ridden on only one other Nations' Cup team (compared to Ian's 109!) but that was the big victory at Spruce Meadows last year.
This was the third time in five years that Canada claimed victory. The team also included Mario and Eric Lamaze. Chef d'equipe Torchy Millar hopes his riders can stay hot through this summer's Pan American Games and qualify for the Olympics next year.
Second with four faults was Ireland, which imported Conor Swail and Cian O'Connor for the purpose, as the nation tries to make its way back into the Samsung Super League of Nations' Cup countries. The U.S. had to settle for third with 12 penalties, despite McLain Ward's brilliant double-clear on Sapphire. The squad missed Beezie Madden's World Equestrian Games mount, Authentic, who was withdrawn and replaced by the less-seasoned Integrity because of the footing issue.
I'm through with the glitz of Wellington for awhile. The pink golf cart with Daddy's Girl spelled out in rhinestones on its side and the Manolo Blahnik paddock boots on sale for $1,000 (or $5,500 if you want crocodile) at the showgrounds have put me over the top in terms of the elegant excess that is the currency here.
The next time you'll hear from me is Easter weekend (April 8), when the Budweiser American Invitational wraps up the Winter Equestrian Festival. I'll talk to you then. | <urn:uuid:d1420bc6-f7e6-4398-974e-d47a55e63084> | CC-MAIN-2018-51 | https://www.equisearch.com/news/wellington_031107 | 2018-12-13T05:17:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-51/segments/1544376824448.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20181213032335-20181213053835-00219.warc.gz | en | 0.979368 | 2,050 |
If you’re not reaching, engaging, and monetizing customers on mobile, you’re likely losing them to someone else. Register now for the 8th annual MobileBeat
, July 13-14, where the best and brightest will be exploring the latest strategies and tactics in the mobile space.
It’s one of the biggest headaches for mobile developers and organizations launching mobile initiatives, and one where the most capital can be wasted: mobile testing.
Since testing can amount to as much as 10 percent of a mobile development budget, this headache can quickly avalanche into a disaster without the right direction and tools.
So what options are available to help companies get through this frustrating period before launching a mobile application? It’s easiest if you consider the four types of testing — unit, functional, data, and user experience — as building blocks that can be put together to create more comprehensive testing.
Unit testing: the basics
Put simply, unit testing is about testing individual functions in isolation. By testing each part of an application on its own, developers can detect problems before they reach the tester and ensure that QA and uniformity are part of the process from the beginning.
Functional testing: going through the motions
As a mobile “tester” goes through each motion in a test case, functional testing monitors the behavior of the application by examining the inputs and returns from each action that was called by the user — every swipe, tap, input, and other gesture.
As any developer would tell you, a poorly written defect is frustrating, and understanding what a tester did to produce an error is important. Using a concept we call “restrospection,” you can visually track what testers do and record a complete history of their actions that include lifecycle events.
Data testing: validating and integrating
With data testing, a mobile developer is looking to ensure integration quality and to validate the data before it reaches the application. This is one of the more critical steps for developers, as it can be a major hold up for mobile applications if backend systems are live but not functioning as expected, using a different version of code, or are undergoing development or updates themselves.
There’s nothing like opening up 50 or 60 tickets from testers when a backend system isn’t working like it should. So the holy grail here is to validate the data before it reaches the application, regardless of whether backend systems are live.
UX testing: getting it right the first time
There are several approaches to user experience testing out there that focus on text overruns/the location of a specific object on the screen including image comparisons using screenshots; but in my opinion the best approach is to do a user interface (UI) testing layout that focuses on the how items are aligned on a page.
When combined with a powerful mobile visualizer, you can truly compare and contrast the changes a developer has made to the layout of a mobile application. Further, user experience done well can help developers eliminate the challenges posed by using human testers.
The multi-channel problem: what’s coming down the road
As businesses start to move towards a multi-channel mobile strategy that aligns everything from a website to mobile apps to kiosks, they’re also going to need a way to test apps for all these channels. But if you thought just building a multi-channel app was hard, try finding a good way to test it.
At my company, one of our clients reported that prior to working with us, they spent a third of their launch timeline on testing. That’s just not going to be feasible as we move into a world where consumers and organizations want updated, fully functional mobile presences at the drop of a hat.
The reality is there are a plethora of products on the market that do portions of testing, but they often require you to buy separate testing suites for each channel — one for web, a bolt-on for mobile, etc. You also have to buy these tools from separate vendors, which adds the complexity of making sure they integrate and communicate well with each other.
What we’re going to see is a radically new and different approach to mobile testing. It’s an area ripe for innovation, where mobile testing will become significantly more automated. This will enable developers to leverage smaller building blocks earlier and give them the ability to build larger, consistent, and repeatable tests that are less costly and catch bugs early.

Unless I'm mistaken - and I have no problem with correction - but this the first time I've ever seen an "ALL MARTINS" program.
On Tuesday, May 14th and on Saturday, May 18th at 2pm we'll be having:
Calcium Light Night
River of Light
Barber Violin Concerto
Pretty gusty I guess. At least he seemed to have put together some of his "best" ballets on the program. It certainly will be interesting to see how many seats will be filled on the days of those performances.
I think I saw an all Martins / Adams program at some point in the past ... I seem to recall that "The Chairman Dances" and "Harmonielehre" were on the program, but can't for the life of me dredge up what the rest of it might have been. There's probably enough Martins / Adams for a whole darn festival. | <urn:uuid:bca40a11-d73e-4b49-b98f-2f942a43b986> | CC-MAIN-2015-14 | http://balletalert.invisionzone.com/index.php?/topic/35590-nycb-2012-2013-season/page-2 | 2015-03-27T12:07:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-14/segments/1427131296383.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20150323172136-00247-ip-10-168-14-71.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.975341 | 195 |

Experiencing it in 2014, perhaps for the first time and 42 years since the most recent manned Moon landing, it’s easy to forget that 2001: A Space Odyssey was made before Man had first walked on the Moon – before we as a species had even seen our planet from any real remove. Our understanding of 2001
, and more particularly our experience of it, has inevitably changed in the 46 years since its debut, even as the film itself shaped the future unfolding before it.
2001 remains a definingly Kubrickian mixture of neurotic specificity and compelling opacity, encouraging both close reading and wild-ranging interpretation. The film is certainly aged, sometimes by elements originally and paradoxically prescient. For example, the corporatization of space travel (ref Virgin Galactic) is predicted, although time would excuse the prominently featured Pan Am and Bell from any real race to the stars. Later, 1992 came and went without HAL becoming operational*, though IBM did lose $5 billion, ‘more than any US company has ever lost in a single year.’ 2001 itself passed by with only an affectionate nod in the naming of the 2001 Mars Odyssey spacecraft to mark it. And even 2010 was less The Year We Made Contact than the year we made Little Fockers.
2001 is also ageless, owing almost entirely to Kubrick’s stated aim to make it ‘basically a visual, nonverbal experience,’ akin to music in its ability ‘to cut directly through to areas of emotional comprehension.’ In essence, Kubrick meant that audiences should be active rather than passive participants in the experience of his film – that 2001 should be happening to you as much it’s happening to Dr David Bowman. When Christopher Nolan recently referred to his Interstellar (2014) as an ‘experiential’ film – confusing a legion of sub editors and readers who decided he must mean ‘experimental’ – he was consciously evoking the intended experience of watching 2001.*
On the occasion of the Apollo 11 mission in 1969, WH Auden wrote a derisory poem, for publication in The New Yorker. In 'Moon Landing', he seems to dismiss the entire endeavour as a classic example of risible machismo (‘an adventure / it would not have occurred to women / to think worth while’). Indeed, a common analysis of 2001 bears that perspective out. As Camille Paglia opined, ‘From the first second that the first weapon is found – the weapon that is the tool, OK, that is the work of art – all these things were forced forward by male testosterone, and by a kind of homicidal impulse to create and to kill.’ It’s the apes’ discovery of weaponry and violence that propels their evolution towards Man and, by extension, Man’s drive towards exploring (read: militarizing) space.
Referring to Clarke’s novel of 2001 (created in parallel with the film and the product of close collaboration with Kubrick) will not prove anyone’s interpretation of the film – they are entirely distinct entities and the film should properly be considered a self-contained experience – but it often proves instructive. In the novel, it’s heavily implied that without the intervention of the monolith, the antecedents of Man would have perished, so unsuited were they otherwise to the harsh environment in which they lived. Conversely, while Clarke is confident that the famous, four-million-year spanning match cut from a thrown bone lands on ‘an orbiting space bomb, a weapon in space.’, it’s not actually made explicit in the film, and deliberately so. Whether he intended to avoid comparison with his own Dr Strangelove (1964), or to fend against obsolescence in the face of impending treaties forfending the militarization of space, Kubrick’s overriding tendency was to discourage such a reductive interpretation – or at least to refuse its singularity.
On the other hand, Kubrick was never reluctant to ‘explain’ 2001, at least in terms of what is depicted on screen. In fact, he was positively forthcoming as far back as 1969:
‘You begin with an artifact left on Earth four million years ago by extraterrestrial explorers who observed the behaviour of the man-apes of the time and decided to influence their evolutionary progression. Then you have a second artifact buried deep on the lunar surface and programmed to signal word of man’s first baby steps into the universe - a kind of cosmic burglar alarm. And finally there’s a third artifact placed in orbit around Jupiter and waiting for the time when man has reached the outer rim of his own solar system.
‘When the surviving astronaut, Bowman, ultimately reaches Jupiter, this artifact sweeps him into a force field or star gate that hurls him on a journey through inner and outer space and finally transports him to another part of the galaxy, where he’s placed in a human zoo approximating a hospital terrestrial environment drawn out of his own dreams and imagination. In a timeless state, his life passes from middle age to senescence to death. He is reborn, an enhanced being, a star child, an angel, a superman, if you like, and returns to Earth prepared for the next leap forward of man’s evolutionary destiny.’
That’s 2001, according to Kubrick, ‘on the film’s simplest level.’ But what does it all mean? To one extent or another, 2001 is what you make of it. ‘Stanley wanted to create a myth,’ explained Clarke, and both were eager for audiences to form their own philosophical interpretations. What some more recent filmmakers – *cough* Nolan *cough* – often miss is that the pursuit of science is much more often about posing questions than providing answers. Likewise, the cinematic experiences those filmmakers claim to aspire to should challenge us more than they comfort us. As Terry Gilliam once said, ‘The Kubricks of this world…make you go home and think about it.’

* Early in Nolan’s film, Matthew McConaughey’s Cooper is aghast at a school teacher’s blithe assertion that the 1969 moon landing was faked – merely a ploy, she maintains (though an ingenious one, she grants) to bankrupt the Soviet Union. Kubrick, of course, has long been a key figure for conspiracy theorists convinced he was enlisted to fake the 1969 Moon landing, a belief stoked by determinedly ingenuous viewers of William Karel’s mockumentary Opération Lune (2002).
‘Except for a single, very powerful radio emission aimed at Jupiter, the 4-million-year-old black monolith has remained completely inert…’

In 2009, I moved from Bucks County PA (close to Trenton, NJ) to West Chester, PA. Less than an hour west, but a world away in terms of pizza. My early and futile attempts to find a West Chester pizza "worth the calories" was a Quixotic Quest and led to the creation of this blog to chronicle my findings.
Many locals advised me to try the pizza at Carlino's Specialty Foods, a gourmet grocer on Market Street in the heart of downtown West Chester.
Carlino's is a treasure of often-decadent gourmet foods, much of it Italian-themed. Upon entering, you first encounter a dizzying set of salumi choices, both domestic and imported, and then the cheeses.
The pasta selection is likewise superb, and Carlino's also features a nice olive oil bar where you can taste before you buy - a heady mix of olive oils and balsamic vinegars. I was especially enamored of the Israeli olive oil and its peppery finish.
All of this comes at a price, but it's still a great value to have this high quality and great selection all in one place, and staffed by friendly and informed workers who truly care about the products.
I had visited Carlino's before, but had not been inspired by the visuals of the pizza offerings in their prepared foods section. However, on a recent trip there buying holiday provisions, I decided it was finally time to sample the pizza. Being the best pizza in West Chester is still a pretty low bar; Carlino's seemed a good candidate to claim that prize.
I opted for two (huge) slices of tomato pie and one triangle of conventional pizza with pepperoni toppings. The pizza was sold by the slice ($2.50) and the tomato pie by the pound (which worked out to about $2.75 per rectangle). I took them home and gave them my standard oven re-heat on a perforated pan.
Let's dispense with the conventional pizza; it was forgettable. The crust was limp, it had been baked on a screen (cardinal sin), and nothing was distinctive about the sauce, cheese, or pepperoni. Was it better than DiGiorno? Sorry to say, it was not. Not worth the calories and not worthy to be offered alongside all of the truly excellent fare otherwise found in Carlino's.
The tomato pie was not the Trenton variety (thin crisp crust, cheese first, then crushed tomato, served hot). It was the Philly/Conshohocken/bakery style, which is a thick, airy, almost-Sicilian crust, topped with a chunky sauce and seasonings and no cheese (frequently served at room temperature).
This tomato pie was a very nice rendition. The crust had an excellent crisp and airy texture, but came up a bit short on flavor when compared to the best tomato pies, such as the ones at Corropolese. The star was clearly the sauce. It was a brilliant red, and its bright, fresh, tangy flavor delivered on the promise made by its color. Not quite a destination tomato pie, but worth a repeat for any regular visitor.
Wonderful pizza has recently come to the area - Stella Rossa in Downingtown, Anthony's Coal-Fired in Exton, and La Porta in Media. But West Chester remains uncharted pizza territory.
I love Carlino's, and I'm very glad to have it nearby. These people know food and they know customer service. I think they have an opportunity to build on this very good tomato pie (and take it to great) and figure out how to bring destination pizza to a foodie town that still lacks a signature pie. | <urn:uuid:0433aadd-38a7-4185-99d6-8f888b630cb3> | CC-MAIN-2017-34 | http://mainlinepizzaquest.blogspot.com/2013/12/review-carlinos-west-chester-pa.html | 2017-08-20T04:00:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-34/segments/1502886105970.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20170820034343-20170820054343-00659.warc.gz | en | 0.972598 | 782 |
Bogut�s Warriors score another NBA win
Andrew Bogut's return from injury has only improved the prospects of high-flying NBA underdogs the Golden State Warriors.
Bogut added 11 points with seven rebounds as the Warriors recorded their fourth consecutive victory with a 113-93 win over the Phoenix Suns.
Golden State were enjoying an excellent season even with Bogut on the sidelines, but the return of the Australian big-man has only bolstered their defensive capabilities.
The Warriors are ranked fifth in the western conference and are well in the mix to edge further up the ladder and make a play during the playoffs.
Golden State star Stephen Curry returned after missing two games with an ankle injury and scored 19 of his 29 points in the second half.
Harrison Barnes matched his season high with 21 points for the Warriors, David Lee had 16 points and 12 rebounds and Klay Thompson added 17 points.
Curry, who twisted his right ankle in the third quarter of Monday night's win over Toronto, was six for 10 from three-point range as Golden State beat Phoenix for the fourth straight time.
Michael Beasley scored 24 points for the Suns, who have dropped four of five. Jared Dudley added 16 points.
Tim Duncan's return to NBA action on Saturday didn't last long as the San Antonio Spurs star departed in the second quarter of a 96-86 victory over the Washington Wizards.
Duncan, who had missed four games with a sore left knee, sprained his right ankle and left knee in the second quarter when Washington forward Martell Webster ran into the back of Duncan's legs fighting for a rebound. Duncan was left lying on the court clutching his troublesome left knee to the dismay of San Antonio fans.
He was helped off the court by two teammates then walked under his own power to the locker room. The severity of the injuries was not immediately known.
Tony Parker had a double-double with 19 points and 12 assists for San Antonio, who will begin an 18-day, nine-game road trip on Wednesday.
New York unleashed a 38-4 run on Sacramento in the first half to cruise to their fourth straight victory.
Amare Stoudemire was 10 for 10 from the field for 21 points during that period, as the Knicks won 120-81.
The Knicks actually trailed by 10 when Stoudemire entered in the first quarter, then went on to challenge the franchise-record victory margin of 48 points.
It was an awesome display by New York in front of some special guests: 150 children, their families and teachers from Sandy Hook Elementary School.
Portland beat Utah 105-99, Minnesota defeated New Orleans 115-86, Cleveland stunned Oklahoma City 115-110, Houston beat Charlotte 109-95, Chicago lifted to a 93-76 carve up of Atlanta and Milwaukee were too good for Orlando 107-98.

Then, we went thrift shopping and stopped for lunch. Found some really cool things at the shops this week!
Came home and relaxed with my mom and for a while after shopping all day. They're visiting me from Pennsylvania for the next few days. Always nice to have family visit (but I'm always ready for them to leave so I can have a house to myself again, too... shhhh.)
Went to see Sean K. Preston & the Loaded Pistols perform later last night with some girlfriends. GREAT band! I was in LOVE the moment these boys played Peggy Lee's "Fever". So fun.
Until next time...

One episode I enjoy watching repeatedly is season 8’s The Sleepy Slayer. It’s a very intense and twisted episode with some delightful extras, including a pleasing scene with Perry and Hamilton and (finally!) a male secretary who’s a good guy.
This is one of Samuel Newman’s episodes. He’s one of my most favorite recurring writers for the series. He usually tends to be kind to Hamilton in his scripts. And the plots are generally very intense and surprising. I wonder what season 9 would have been like if he had remained as Story Consultant.
I wonder how someone even gets chosen as Story Consultant. It seems that they would need a great deal of knowledge and understanding as to how the characters tick. Samuel Newman performed very well. Some others . . . well, always didn’t seem to as much.
But back to The Sleepy Slayer. It opens showing us one of the most dysfunctional households throughout the entire series, which is quite an arguable accomplishment. The old and nasty patriarch of the household, Abner Gordon, throws a temper tantrum and refuses to take his medicine. To the poor young nurse’s horror, this results in a stroke and a collapse. It’s not the first time it’s happened. But he’s too filled with hate to die off. The doctor comments that not even death wants him and that this could go on for years.
Rachel Gordon, Abner’s niece, still lives there. For the past fifteen years, it’s been because Abner has threatened that if she leaves or gets married, he’ll disinherit her. And she thinks one and a half million dollars is worth staying in the Hell Abner’s created for her. She keeps hoping he’ll die. And she threatens to kill him herself if he doesn’t.
The household, from the doctor to the nurse to Bruce Jay the secretary, as well as the other staff members, all feel sorry for Rachel and are sickened by how far she’s been pushed to the edge of a nervous breakdown. I, personally, had a hard time feeling sorry for her from the beginning. Her poor, oppressed persona didn’t feel believable to me, not when she showed such unbridled hatred not only to Abner Gordon (where it was certainly understandable), but to the hapless Bruce Jay, who had never done a thing to her. She snarls at him that she’ll see he’s thrown out of the house someday. And in spite of that, Bruce continues to worry about and defend her.
Perry is handling a legal matter for Bruce, who is concerned that money Abner promised him will not be handed over if the second will is introduced. He wants to leave the house and marry the nurse, and Abner doesn’t seem to want him to go, either. Bruce was staying there in the first place because of an accident in a plant owned by Abner, an accident that caused Bruce’s lungs to become gravely injured. Abner paid his bills and offered for him to stay at the house as a secretary. He said that if Bruce ever wanted to leave he would give $50,000, but it’s possible he may refuse to do so aside from Bruce inheriting it in his will after his death.
There’s a mysterious attempted break-in at the Gordon house. When the police arrive, the sergeant wants to talk with Rachel but she refuses to see him. At the same time someone tried to break in, she was stealing money from Abner’s desk. She’s been secretly seeing a man on the side, a repulsive fellow who only wants her money and doesn’t care a bit about her. When Abner and his accountant learn of the missing money and Abner threatens her to return it by Monday if she doesn’t want him to replace his current will with the one that disinherits her (and everyone else), she begs her boyfriend to return the money she’s already given him. He says he can’t and walks out, telling her to pray her uncle dies before Monday.
Rachel still hasn’t talked to the sergeant about the attempted break-in. Instead she goes out and tries to buy a gun. Not wanting a police record to exist, she opts for a second-hand gun at a pawnshop and bribes the pawnbroker into not adding her name and address to his record. In one of the series’ most chilling and shocking scenes, Rachel practices her shooting in the middle of a lightning storm. As the thunder crashes and disguises the sounds, she fires repeatedly at a dead log while envisioning Abner’s sneering face.
Everything is set up so Rachel seems to be the usually poor, misunderstood, and innocent defendant. After telling the other household members that she wants to teach Abner a lesson in how he can’t torment them for the fun of it, and instructs them all to leave for twenty-four hours starting the next day, she drops scalding coffee on her arm due to a loose coffeepot handle and screams in utter agony. The doctor treats and sedates her, saying that she’s very close to a complete breakdown.
Early the next morning, the housekeeper gets up and hears that someone else is up. Upon curiously going upstairs and to Abner’s room, she discovers in horror that Rachel is shooting Abner with her gun. Rachel then collapses, having apparently been under the influence of the drug’s inhibitor-removing properties.
Upon the horrifying events of the murder, Bruce asks Perry to come to the house. He does, and while waiting for Bruce, discovers an upsidedown book on law in the library. All the others have dust on them, but not the one out of place.
Bruce enters and pleads with Perry to defend Rachel. Perry says he can’t because of the conflict of interest, but agrees to talk with her until she can find her own counsel. However, she is wheeled out on a gurney, unconscious and again sedated, and on her way to the prison ward of the hospital. Andy says that Hamilton won’t allow anyone to see her without an Okay from his office.
There are some classic lines of dialogue from the characters throughout the episode. One of my favorites is from Andy in this scene. Upon being told that Rachel has been through a terrible experience, he dryly and flatly replies, “Yes. I saw Abner Gordon’s body.”
Investigative goings-on happen. The accountant talks of the missing money and gives an intriguing and very sad possible insight into Abner’s behavior. “Did you ever stop to think that the last thing in the world he wanted was for Rachel to leave him?” Perhaps it was so. And Bruce had said that Abner was kind to him when the plant he owned caused Bruce’s lifelong illness. Certainly Abner did not seem to be of the same caliber as the most wretched and evil of the murder victims.
Paul tries to talk with Rachel’s boyfriend and is thoroughly disgusted by him and his uncaring and unconcerned attitude towards Rachel. He even says he’ll make her look guilty if he’s put on the witness stand. While observing him getting ready for a date with another girl, one who has a lot of money, Paul casually (and deliberately) knocks the bottle of cologne off the dresser and causes it to spill all over the guy. He exclaims in indignation. Paul just smiles and says, “Tracey-boy, you smell real pretty. You might just get yourself a platoon of promoters.”
It’s one of Paul’s best and most unexpected scenes. We don’t usually see him get so thoroughly revolted by someone, and it’s even less often that he does something about it. Still less often than that when he does it with a smile. Tracey is a new breed of rat, and Paul responds highly unfavorably and unusually.
Eventually Paul learns that Abner was dead when Rachel fired at him. He was poisoned. Consequently, Rachel has been released. Andy comes in with a warrant for Bruce.
The hearing proceeds with some wonderful and thorough handling by Hamilton, who questions the witnesses on every angle and wants to make sure he has everything correct. Perry remains extraordinarily silent, bewildering Hamilton and everyone else. Of course, Perry has a plan.
That night he, Hamilton, Paul, and the police are waiting on a cold and rainy street. Hamilton wanders over to Perry and says that they’ve been there for over two hours. Perry wonders if Hamilton has lost his curiosity, to which Hamilton replies in the negative. Perry says that the man they’re waiting for is a creature of habit, in more ways than one. Hamilton’s answer is gold: “Yes, and that’s the problem—so am I! And one of my habits is sleeping at night!”
At last the person they’re waiting for arrives. He’s caught buying drugs, which are hidden in a book. He’s revealed to be Tracey. As Paul approaches he says, “Tracey-boy, you just got yourself that platoon of promoters.”
In court the next day, Tracey admits that he’s a drug addict. Rachel tried to stick him in a recovery program but it didn’t take. He was hooked to her pocketbook and she to him. The night of the murder, she called him at midnight and told him she’d left a bit more money under his pillow. The problem is, she was supposed to have been under heavy sedation at midnight, put under an hour earlier. And Tracey insists he didn’t kill Abner so that Rachel would inherit all the money; he wouldn’t kill and anyway, he was out getting a fix.
Perry gets Rachel on the stand. And in one of his most awesome examinations ever, he pokes holes in her story and reveals her true plan: to get everyone to feel sorry for her and think she was having a nervous breakdown, then kill Abner Gordon “not once, but twice” to throw suspicion off of herself. She burned herself with the coffee on purpose so the doctor would have to sedate her. Then she negated the effect of the drug with a drug she stole from Tracey and called him at midnight. She deliberately poisoned Abner with the drug Bruce uses to breathe easier when his lungs hurt him, in order to throw suspicion on him. And three hours after Abner was dead, she went into his room, pretending to be in a drugged stupor, and fired three times.
She tries to protest that she didn’t have present ability when she shot Abner. Perry corners her on that and asks her how she knows the legal term if she hasn’t been reading law books. She studied up on every angle of the crime, and was the one who left the volume upsidedown in the library. “I have never heard of such a deliberately evil plan,” Perry declares. Rachel finally breaks down in tears on the witness stand.
The epilogue finds Della wondering how Perry knew the upsidedown law book was really a clue and not just a random coincidence. Perry smiles and reminds Della of a famous saying by Justice Holmes. Smiling too, Della quotes, “Even a dog can tell the difference between being stumbled over and being kicked.”
I have to say that, since I never liked Rachel, I was pleased to see that my feelings were quite justified. But we’re left wondering exactly how much of her sympathetic act was indeed just an act. She was hateful and bitter towards both Abner and Bruce, yet she appeared to genuinely love Tracey. Or at least, she seemed needy around him and most unlike the evil woman who hated and plotted. And her crying in court may or may not have been faked.
Bruce Jay was far kinder to her than she ever deserved. Despite her clear hatred of him, he still worried about her and wanted Perry to defend her after the shooting. And he staunchly defended her to Perry and others, insisting on how cruelly Abner had mistreated her and pushed her to a breakdown.
And of course, Hamilton was wonderful. I enjoyed his careful examinations of all the witnesses, particularly the doctor, as he wanted to make certain he had all of the facts straight. That would have been awesome enough, but then Sam Newman also threw in that scene with Hamilton joining Perry and the others on a stakeout. An absolute, perfect surprise.
All of the main characters really get their chances to shine in this episode. And the plot is so dark and twisted. For once, we’re actually really seeing the murderer’s plan unfolding, and who the murderer is, but it’s so obvious that it seems it can’t be and that Rachel must be the poor, poor person she pretends she is. Seeing Perry expose her for the wicked woman she truly is, is delicious. I believe that, even though Perry's scenes of exposing the murderers are usually always epic, I’ve only rarely enjoyed Perry’s examinations as much or more than this one. | <urn:uuid:0bcffa66-5cd0-4022-82b4-bf3d0f83ce6b> | CC-MAIN-2017-30 | http://parkavenuebeat.blogspot.com/2012/06/case-of-sleepy-slayer-writer-most.html | 2017-07-24T18:36:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-30/segments/1500549424909.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20170724182233-20170724202233-00699.warc.gz | en | 0.980325 | 2,822 |

Walkthrough: Mission 21
Click on the mission below to go to that section of the walkthrough:
After the gunfight, Carter kicks over a dead body and finds all sorts of files and papers on Jolson. He's like a "spider," says Carter, with holdings all over the city of London. He decides to start at a warehouse just down the street to bring Jolson's reign to an end. And after he talks to himself about it, we're off.
Objective: Go to the Warehouse
You gain control of Carter within the Lock-Up. Work your way back outside, and to one of the fast cars outside of the building. Get in and follow the blinkers as you drive. The drive to the warehouse is a short one, so be patient and you'll be there in just a moment. When both blinkers start to flash simultaneously, look around for an entrance into the area surrounding the warehouse. Don't pull your car in, however. Instead, stay tight against the wall right by the entrance.
Objective: Sneak Into the Basement and Find Charlie
This is largely a stealth operation. As you stay tight to the wall, get as close as you can to the entrance into the compound so that the camera swings in front of you. You'll see two of Jolson's men talking, and then they split up. One goes inside the warehouse whilst the other stays outside by a sleek looking vehicle. Get against the right side of the door (if you're facing it), and then sneak inside and along the right wall to behind the guy near the car. Grab him from behind and have Carter tie his hands and throw him to the ground. With him taken care of, go left and inside the building. Go through the first room and into the second room, where the second man is looking at a bulletin board. Go behind him quietly and do the same thing to shut him up. With those two guys taken care of and out of the way, we can proceed.
From here, go up the stairs and into the next room, then swing left. There's three guys here initially, but eventually two more will join them to have a bit of a chat. Hide behind the boxes to the left (and on the left side of them, as well) until everyone goes their separate ways. When they do, go forward and stay tight against the wall by the door in front of you. Two more men are talking here. When they split up, walk into that room, and then go right, and behind the guy there. Handcuff him as well. Once you do that, there are boxes in front of him. Stay tight against the boxes towards your right until a man in the background walks past. Then, walk all the way forward and to the last set of boxes, where you should stay tight and look past yourself again. When a large moving device places boxes in front of you there, run forward to those boxes, and go behind them. There are two men here guarding the stairs leading into the warehouse basement. One man will eventually go downstairs. This leaves you open to tie up the other one, and then go down the staircase.
Once downstairs, go forward, but not around the corner. Stay tight against the inside wall to see two men talking on the other side. Once they split, wait a few seconds, then go into the large room, and go northwest, where a man's back is facing you. Tie him up, then walk forward and right, and the mission ends. | <urn:uuid:23abd338-1cb6-47ac-981b-6ce2bc24df34> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.ign.com/wikis/the-getaway/Walkthrough:_Mission_21 | 2020-08-11T14:25:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738777.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20200811115957-20200811145957-00357.warc.gz | en | 0.971793 | 724 |

Sometimes, the fewer the ingredients, the better.
Such is the case at the new location of Frankies Spuntino at 570 Hudson Street in Manhattan. Chef/owners Frank Falcinelli and Frank Castronovo have let classic Italian dishes shine by focusing on essential ingredients like amazing extra-virgin olive oil and heaps of fresh garlic in their grandma’s dining room-style restaurant. When the duo appeared on Food(ography), they shared their paramount pork dish, Pork Braciola Marinara, and explained how a dish can have the maximum amount of flavor with a minimum amount of ingredients. In this case, parsley, Parmesan, provolone and homemade tomato sauce are key.
All of the items on the menu at Frankies have just a few rustic ingredients, like the arugula salad with Pecorino Romano; Frankies’ olio nuovo and lemon; and the house-made linguine with littleneck
clams, garlic, olive oil & parsley that had me sopping up the garlic and olive oil at the bottom of my bowl with bread. The menu speaks for itself, with little to no additional ingredients other than what is listed.
Stick to just a few ingredients at home and you can make simple but delicious recipes like Giada’s Spaghetti With Clams which relies heavily on fresh parsley and heaping cloves of garlic for flavor. And skip a complex salad by using a homemade vinaigrette over arugula, like Tyler’s Arugula Salad and Ultimate Vinaigrette.
In this rustic dining room (and your own), you can keep costs down and ingredients minimal while still making great-tasting Italian dishes.

Asian shares rose on Thursday as investors were encouraged by President Donald Trump's less combative tone in his first speech to Congress, which sent Wall Street stocks sharply higher, while growing bets on a US rate hike this month buoyed the dollar.
MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan rose 0.7 percent, led by rebounds in Atralian and Hong Kong shares.
Japan's Nikkei rose 1.3 percent to a 14-month high.
MSCI's broadest gauge of the world's stocks covering 46 countries rose nearly 1 percent on Wednesday to a record high, posting its biggest daily gain in almost three months.
On Wall Street, the Dow Jones Indtrial Average blasted through the 21,000-point mark for the first time. Both the Dow and the S&P 500 rallied around 1.4 percent.
Trump pledged to deliver "massive" tax relief to the middle class and corporate tax cuts, to spend heavily on infrastructure and to ease regulations -- steps that have helped to ph US stocks higher since his election victory in November.
While Trump gave few new details on his tax or spending plans, investors were encouraged by what they saw as a less confrontational tone as he tries to ph his growth agenda through a Congress reluctant to widen the government's budget deficit.
More to the point, his stimul plan comes as the global economy is picking up momentum.
The J.P. Morgan Global manufacturing PMI hit its highest levels in nearly six years in February.
"Trumpflation may be a misnomer. The uptick in manufacturing predates the election. It continued in February," ING said in a note, pointing to generally strong factory activity readings around the world last month.
"It's better to be lucky than good. We think President Trump may be lucky in holding office when the overhang of debt and fear from the Global Financial Crisis lifts."
A rate hike by the Federal Reserve later this month also would signal policymakers' growing confidence in US and global economic expansion.
"The US economy is strong enough to allow the Fed to raise rates. And then we are going to have one trillion dollars in public spending," said a trader at a European bank.
"Under such conditions, we are likely to see a gradual rise in US stocks, with volatility remaining low, until the Fed overkills the economy," he said.
The S&P financial index soared 2.84 percent after a few key Federal Reserve officials including New York Fed President William Dudley and San Francisco Fed President John Williams, hinted at an interest rate hike this month.
ually-dovish Fed Governor Lael Brainard also joined the chor, saying an improving global economy and a solid US recovery mean it will be "appropriate soon" for the Fed to raise rates.
Government data indeed showed on Wednesday the largest monthly increase in inflation in four years eroded hoeholds' purchasing power, supporting the case for a rate hike.
US Treasuries yield jumped, with the two-year yield rising to as high as 1.308 percent, its highest since Augt 2009. It last stood at 1.296 percent.
The 10-year yield rose to 2.462 percent, still below its two-year peak of 2.641 percent marked in December.
Fed Funds rate futures are now pricing in about an 80 percent chance that the Fed will bump up interest rates by 0.25 percentage point at its policy meeting on March 14-15, compared to around 30 percent at the start of this week.
More Fed policy-setters, including Chair Janet Yellen and Vice Chair Stanley Fischer, will speak on Friday, likely providing further signals on the Fed's policy path.
In Europe, the premium investors demand for holding French bonds over German bonds shrank to the smallest in a month after scandal-hit French presidential candidate Francois Fillon vowed to stay in the election fight.
That is perceived to contribute to limiting the chance of a victory by far-right National Front leader Marine Le Pen, who could pull the country out of the euro zone and the European Union.
In the currency market, the dollar benefited from rising expectations of a Fed rate hike.
The dollar's index against a basket of six major rivals rose to its highest level in seven weeks.
The US currency rose 0.2 percent to 114.02 yen, while the euro dipped 0.2 percent to $1.0529.
The British pound sank to a six-week low of $1.2261 as disappointing UK economic data added to political nerves that have begun to weigh on the currency again after last year's Brexit vote.
Oil prices loitered within a familiar range, as record high US crude supplies tempered support from evidence that OPEC producers are complying with an agreement to cut production.
Brent futures were unchanged at $56.36 per barrel while US crude futures ticked down 0.1 percent to $53.76 a barrel. | <urn:uuid:bad41d80-5c02-48de-8023-1b3356050cf0> | CC-MAIN-2018-39 | https://www.businesstoday.in/markets/global-markets/asian-shares-advance-dollar-supported-by-march-rate-hike-bets/story/247256.html | 2018-09-20T17:33:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-39/segments/1537267156524.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20180920155933-20180920180333-00144.warc.gz | en | 0.956985 | 1,016 |
Information technology -- Software measurement -- Functional size measurement -- Part 6: Guide for use of ISO/IEC 14143 series and related International Standards
This standard has been revised by ISO/IEC 14143-6:2012.
ISO/IEC 14143-6:2006 provides a summary of the FSM (Functional Size Measurement) related International Standards and the relationship between;
- the ISO/IEC 14143 series FSM framework International Standards that provide the definitions and concepts of FSM and conformance and verification of FSMMs (Functional Size Measurement Methods), and
- the ISO/IEC standard FSMMs, i.e. ISO/IEC 19761, ISO/IEC 20926, ISO/IEC 20968 and ISO/IEC 24570.
An FSMM is a software sizing method that conforms to the mandatory requirements of ISO/IEC 14143-1.
ISO/IEC 14143-6 also provides a process to assist users to select an FSMM that meets their requirements. It also gives guidance on how to use Functional Size (FS).
FSMMs include, but are not limited to, ISO/IEC 19761, ISO/IEC 20926, ISO/IEC 20968 and ISO/IEC 24570, as well.
Recommending a specific FSMM is outside the scope of ISO/IEC 14143-6. | <urn:uuid:8a4d09e2-ec19-4c4e-ac53-0b89d187edb3> | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | https://www.iso.org/standard/39499.html?browse=tc | 2018-10-24T03:52:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-43/segments/1539583518753.75/warc/CC-MAIN-20181024021948-20181024043448-00389.warc.gz | en | 0.816119 | 294 |

In Damascus , a visiting top Iranian lawmaker said the Syrian government and its allies seek to "liberate" tens of thousands of Aleppo's residents from the grip of what he called terrorist groups. "If they lose, it will be hard for them to launch a new assault to break the siege", Abdel Rahman said. Seizing control of Aleppo would be the biggest victory for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in five years of fighting, and would demonstrate a dramatic shift of fortunes in his favour ...

Choosing the right domain name for your website
Your domain name is your online identity. So it’s crucially important to choose one that’s both imaginative and easy to remember for visitors to your website.
To help you find the domain name that best expresses the image you want to convey, put yourself in a visitor’s shoes, and keep in mind your brand philosophy.
Choose the right domain extension
The extension you choose will also play a part in your domain name’s success. “.com” remains the most instantly recognisable extension in the world. In many cases, however, it’s best to think locally by opting for an extension specific to your company or sector.
Reserve every possible variation of your domain name
Look for possible alternatives to your chosen name, and buy up those domains if you can. You should also reserve the same names for your social media accounts. The aim is to ensure that your brand is represented consistently, across all platforms.
Loss or theft of your domain name
Domain names are frequently stolen. This usually happens when hackers gain access to email accounts or accounts held with domain name registries.
Domain names can also be lost, most often when the owner forgets to renew the name before it expires.
Remember, we can manage your domain name for you. | <urn:uuid:e9ecdfc1-75c3-40e3-8fb5-417b852318ea> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://www.addedsense.lu/en/other-webdesign-services/domain-names/ | 2022-10-06T10:09:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337803.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20221006092601-20221006122601-00752.warc.gz | en | 0.917935 | 277 |
HK and Karmin say “Hello” !
In April of 2011 Amy Heidemann and Nick Noonan of Karmin blew up on the scene. It was their version of Chris Brown’s “Look At Me Now” which caused a viral YouTube sensation and subsequent props from hip-hop heavy weights that sent their career soaring into hyper drive. An MTV critic raved about Amy’s rapping skills saying “Homegirl is a master emcee. Seriously. Don’t let the Charlotte-From-Sex-And-The-City-facade fool you – this girl can THROW IT DOWN. No offense, Busta Rhymes, but I think this girl just schooled you”. Not only can she spit, Amy can sing, write and play the guitar too! After their little blogosphere explosion they performed with The Roots at Tufts University and made an appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres Show . All of which lead to a signing with Epic Records. Their first release “Brokenhearted”, which Amy says tells the story of how she and Nick first met, has gone platinum and the second single “Hello” is sprinting up the charts. Not bad for two small town crazy kids in love who, not that long ago, worked as a wedding singer and wrote raw music in their living room with a guitar and a wooden box for a drum.
Hear Karmin’s new single “Hello” and learn more about the dynamic duo as HK chats it up with Karmin on “In The Mix with HK” this Saturday night on Mix 94.9 at 10pm.
This weekends show is going to be an all out party throw down with custom HK remixes of Pink – “Blow Me”, Maroon 5 – “Payphone”, Katy Perry – “Wide Awake” and Kelly Clarkson – “Darkside”, I’ve also got a whole new take on Usher – “Scream”, Avicii vs Lenny Kravitz -”Superlove”, and the brand new one from Elton John’s best bud Madonna – “Turn Up The Radio”, The Wanted – “Chasing The Sun” and Nicki Minaj - ”Pound The Alarm”. And that’s just getting the decks warmed up. I will be pounding out all the hits HK style just for you on this weekend!
Remember…”If It’s hot, if it’s new and it makes you wanna move…you’re In The Mix with HK”. | <urn:uuid:2d019ae3-0920-4a91-9b2b-35b0e65b559d> | CC-MAIN-2015-14 | http://mix949.com/hk-and-karmin-say-hello/ | 2015-04-02T00:16:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-14/segments/1427131309986.40/warc/CC-MAIN-20150323172149-00139-ip-10-168-14-71.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.922373 | 564 |

We Are All Made of Molecules by Susin Nielsen
Genre: Contemporary, Family-Orientated
Published by: Anderson Press
Note: I received this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
We Are All Made of Molecules is a two perspectives story. There’s Stewart, who recently lost his mum and whose dad is moving in with his new partner, Ashley’s mum. Ashley is struggling with her own new situation as her dad came out as gay and is now living in the annex at the bottom of the garden. It’s a beautiful story of a blended family, full of rich characters and really touching moments.
The beginning is rather abrupt, and the way Stewart fills us in on his life so forgets accentuates all the quirky parts of his character that I fell in love with immediately. I found it hard to connect with Ashely because she’s extremely materialistic and concerned only with how other people see her. In her eyes, the fact that her dad is gay will completely destroy her life. So, as you can expect, she’s very unwelcoming and a bit of a brat to Stewart, who is only trying to make the best of the situation. However, I loved the contrast between Ashley and Stewart, especially in the way they manipulated the narrative. Their voices were very distinct. Ashely misusing words and Stewart being very economical with his word choice. Their characters leapt of the page!
The most important part of this story, though, is the relationship these kids have with their parents. It’s not an ideal situation for either of them. Stewart just wants his mum and Ashley wants everything to go back to the way it was. Basically, they both want to go back to time when they were happier. The development and progression of the characters as individuals and as a family made me so happy. I had to finish it in one sitting, I needed to see how they would deal with new situations. Including a party when their parents are out of town (I think we all know how that one goes!) and bullying at school.
I lived for the moments when Ashley and Stewart would come to each other’s aid. And in the end, they were surprisingly good at helping each other understand the opposite point of view.
I honestly don’t think there was one bit about this book I didn’t enjoy! The slightly younger age of the main characters gave the book a ‘Wonder’ by R. J. Palacio vibes, which made it even better in my opinion! I’ve seen a lot of promotion of this book on Goodreads, so I hope more people give it a chance! | <urn:uuid:7bdd2630-c16f-4fc3-8c18-fd87b82876f0> | CC-MAIN-2023-06 | https://heartfullofbooks.com/2016/07/29/review-we-are-all-made-of-molecules-by-susin-nielsen/ | 2023-01-27T08:35:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-06/segments/1674764494974.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20230127065356-20230127095356-00775.warc.gz | en | 0.981649 | 574 |
I’ve been making a lot of neck warmers lately.
I realized that my yarn stash is absolutely out of control. I’m overrun with single or partial balls of yarn that are leftover from other projects, found in bargain bins at high end yarn stores, or bought by the bagful at Goodwill.
Because of my multiplying yarn stash, I’m always on the lookout for things I can make with a ball of yarn or less. Well I’ve recently latched onto neck warmers and can’t get enough!
I’ve had a lot of fun making these up. There are so many and unique ways to finish and embellish them! I’m a big fan of keeping them fairly simple with just a few buttons, but you could do a lot of fun things with lace trim, ribbon accents, crochet flowers or pom-poms… You name it!
This pattern is super simple, perfect for the beginner, or even for the more advanced crocheter who wants to make a finished gift in under an hour.
You could make this with an extra bulky yarn, but I really like to make it with two strands of yarn held together. This way, you can play around with color and texture combinations. For instance, I like to pair a standard yarn with an extra soft or otherwise texturally-interesting yarn.
Have fun and let me know if you have any questions!
Finished Size: 3” x 19” (one size fits all)
2 strands bulky weight yarn (category 5) held together
Crochet hook, size M
6 hdc + 5 rows = 4 in.
Row 1: Turn, hdc in second ch from hook, hdc in each ch across. (32 hdc)
Row 2: Ch 1, turn, hdc in each hdc across. (32 hdc)
Row 3: Repeat Row 2. Fasten off. (32 hdc)
Weave in ends. Sew button onto neck warmer approximately 1-1/2” from one end and centered vertically.
I would love to see what you make! Please feel free to post pictures of your own creations in the comments or on the Tincture Craft Facebook page.

I am not a dead-inside film critic when I say Masterminds is unfunny and forgettable. I was watching Masterminds with around thirty people who were trying very hard to have a good time and find the movie funny. For the first thirty minutes, there were half-hearted chuckles and then there was complete silence. It’s an eerie, sad experience when it happens to comedies.
The whole story revolves around David (Zack Galifianakis) who works driving armored trucks filled with money. David has fallen in love with a new co-worker (Kristin Wiig) and she has friends (including Owen Wilson) who want to rob millions of dollars and she manipulates David to do be a part of the robbery. They soon double cross David once the robbery is done. David has to avoid a hit man (Jason Sudeikis) and law enforcement to get his revenge.
You can tell the scriptwriting is so bad that stars like Zack Galifianakis, Kristin Wiig, Owen Wilson, Jason Sudeikis and Kate McKinnon cannot make the material funny. Sudeikis and McKinnon get it the worst. I felt sad for them on what they had to do.
McKinnon plays a stereotypically dumb redneck blonde who is David’s fiancee and she deliberately made her facial expressions look mechanically fake. It was just looked so weird. What’s even worse is Sudeikis, who plays a hit man sent to kill David, Galifianakis’ character. All he added was a layer of comedic awkwardness on material that just failed to land.
What is also not believable is the storytelling. To advance the story you have to believe the main characters are impossibly dumb. There is also a massive eye rolling moment when you realize that the assassin sent to kill Galifianakis stops his plan when he realized that Galifianakis is his brother. It’s almost akin to Batman vs. Superman when Batman stops fighting Superman when Superman says his mother’s name.
Masterminds is the comedic film where nothing works. The overuse of slapstick doesn’t work, the dialogue doesn’t work nor do the characters have the chemistry to make what little they had funny. Although the characters and their motives are entirely believable in the movie’s internal logic, very little laughs materialized from the audience. At least Masterminds was not boring.
When I left Masterminds I left with the most positive bad reaction. I just said “Well that sucked” in a care-free way. It’s not boring, nor is it hateful. It’s kinda messy but coherent enough to not make me lose complete faith. Most importantly, it’s just not that funny *1/2 | <urn:uuid:96884405-b9a9-45aa-bedf-39385bd42d3f> | CC-MAIN-2017-30 | https://ingloriousreviewsblog.wordpress.com/2016/10/16/masterminds-review/ | 2017-07-22T22:42:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-30/segments/1500549424154.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20170722222652-20170723002652-00264.warc.gz | en | 0.959571 | 593 |
Looking for a simple but special homemade gift? How about Homemade Milk Bath Mix?
You toss a few ingredients together in a jar, add a pretty label (like this free printable one), decorate the jar with some nice ribbon and/or material and POOF! you are done.
They get to soak away the stress of the holidays in a soothing milk bath that is relaxing for the mind and skin.
I have quite a few Gifts in Jars recipes on That Recipe, including a bread mix, a bean dip mix and a lovely sugar scrub recipe that can be changed up with different herbs and flowers. But this one contains Epsom salt, which can be used as a laxative, so I didn’t want to put it on the food page. Not that most people would think milk bath would be edible, but you never know.
I like to use Celestial Seasoning’s Tension Tamer Tea (affiliate link!!!) to make this or dried lavender blossoms from my garden. Pick a tea or dried flowers that smells nice and relaxing to you. My husband does not like the smell of lavender, go figure! So, I definitely do not use it in my bath mix for personal use. But, most people find it a calming scent.
You are welcome to use essential oils if you prefer, but I like the more rustic look and feel of the herbs.

Relaxing Milk Bath Mix
This makes enough to fill a 1 cup jelly jar, which is about two baths. Double it for a pint jar and quadruple it for a quart jar.
- 1/2 cup powdered milk (cow’s milk or goat’s milk)
- 1/4 cup Epsom salts
- 1/4 cup baking soda (or cornstarch or ground oatmeal)
- 1 or 2 chamomile tea bags or 1 or 2 teaspoons dried lavender blossoms (something that smells nice and soothing)
In a small bowl combine the milk, Epsom salts and baking soda. Open the tea bags and empty the contents into your hand. Rub your hands together, crushing the tea or flowers finely into the bowl (or use a mortar and pestle or a coffee grinder). Mix ingredients together and pour into jar. Decorate as desired.
Label the jar with the instructions: Add 1/2 cup to a hot bath. Relax and enjoy.
And that is all there is to it. | <urn:uuid:89b186b9-9d65-47fe-a101-b4d90c922690> | CC-MAIN-2020-50 | https://munofore.com/wp/2015/12/gifts-jar-relaxing-herbal-milk-bath-mix/ | 2020-12-03T23:42:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-50/segments/1606141732835.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20201203220448-20201204010448-00529.warc.gz | en | 0.907279 | 547 |

I'm offline for most of the morning. I'm finally getting around to my annual planting and flowerbed cleaning today. I'm behind schedule but part of that I can blame on the soaking rains we've had around here lately.
Through the years I've moved more toward perennials and things that stick around all year, but I always like to plant some pretty impatiens for color and I love my while caladiums. Each year I try to pick up something new to add to the mix just for fun, and this year I found a pretty miniature calla lily. I'm not sure if it'll make it but I'm going to try.
I also have my normal marigolds because they do well in my yard and are colorful. A bonus is that they repel some bugs.
Last year my new addition was larkspur. I ordered the seeds from Monticello (oh, I know, you can get larkspur seeds at the supermarket, but THESE came from Thomas Jefferson's garden! Wow!) They bloomed for the first time this year and it's just gorgeous. I've really been enjoying those.
I've also got major flowerbed cleaning to do and grass to mow, so I better get to it. Time to get dirty. | <urn:uuid:d5acdf9f-ab15-45fc-9967-4798ec4c860f> | CC-MAIN-2014-23 | http://soitgoesinshreveport.blogspot.com/2009/04/getting-dirty.html | 2014-07-31T05:20:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-23/segments/1406510272584.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20140728011752-00465-ip-10-146-231-18.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.982642 | 269 |

In this article I explore the relationship between knowledge, skill acquisition, and building software. Compared with other types of projects, such as construction, I propose that software development may be highly biased toward team members learning the problem, and that building the software is a tiny fraction of the overall effort. If so, then we should approach software development projects to maximize learning and pay less attention to tracking build tasks.
Consider the following established ideas:
It's better to start building a complex new system and fail a few times than to spend the same time investigating and producing specifications.
Most developers could recreate yesterday's work from scratch in a more cohesive form in about half an hour the next day.
If you tell one-half of a pottery class to focus on quality and the other to focus on speed, the people who focused on speed will produce the highest-quality pots.
The following anecdote appears in Chapter 2 of The First 20 Hours
, Josh Kauman's book on rapidly becoming competent at any new skill with 20 hours of focused practice. While advocating the use of quantity and speed during practice rather than ensuring absolute quality in whatever you are practicing, Kaufman cites an experiment done in a pottery class (taken from Chapter 3, Art & Fear
Bayles and Orland):
"All those on the left side of the studio, he said, would be graded solely on the quantity of work they produced, all those on the right solely on its quality."
The end results may be surprising to an art teacher, but perhaps less so to anyone who has been involved in an IT project involving complex architecture and design:
"It seems that while the quantity group was busily churning out piles of work and learning from their mistakes, the quality group had sat theorizing about perfection, and in the end had little more to show for their efforts than grandiose theories and a pile of dead clay."
This example brought to mind numerous planning meetings at the start of projects, where it was argued that the framework must be nailed down first, or the overall design must be decided upon. How many projects have been canceled with nothing more than theories to show for them? I also remembered the maxim from my time as a developer, when it was often said that during your most productive days of coding, you could almost always produce a higher quality, more cohesive version of the same code the next day in about half an hour. On a day in which five hours were spent coding productively, that might indicate that 90 percent of the work is actually learning. Bringing these threads together, I propose a model:
The start of a new software project can be defined by the existing level of features and knowledge.
The cost of implementing additional features is proportional to the knowledge the team has about the general and specific problems.
Learning general software principles plus specific implementation could potentially account for 90 percent of the effort on a typical software project.
If this model is correct (which is yet to be established; the pottery evidence is anecdotal), then it would make sense to start a project with an emphasis on gaining knowledge about potential technologies and the specific needs to be satisfied. It has been demonstrated that we learn best by doing, failing, and adapting, so rather than spending three months in meeting rooms poring over architecture and considering what might go wrong, why not hack together a few working systems and feel good when you throw them away?
Established views from project management in other fields is that a certain amount of design must be carried out up front, and that while Agile is great for existing products, it's bad news to start a new enterprise system without a strong understanding of the overall architecture. Fears that development will be wasted if we have to start again are common. Here is the counterargument:
A month spent developing a system with the wrong architecture represents valuable learning by the team about the specific problem being solved. By seeing why their first design is unworkable, they will have learned a great deal about how to build a system that will satisfy customers' needs. This is not development thrown away; it is learning accrued. The challenge is to make this learning as visible and tangible as tasks ticked off on a project plan. | <urn:uuid:01f84be1-70af-47c2-b2a2-d2f5799d5657> | CC-MAIN-2017-30 | https://www.scrumalliance.org/community/articles/2013/july/software-is-made-of-learning.aspx | 2017-07-21T02:59:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-30/segments/1500549423681.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20170721022216-20170721042216-00714.warc.gz | en | 0.964707 | 855 |

The WAGASCI (WAter Grid And SCIntillator) experiment has for goal to improve the knowledge on the neutrino cross-sections through a measurement of those cross-section on water, on plastic as well as their ratio. The measurement will be done with a very large acceptance thanks to an innovative grid structure as well as the use of Side Muon Range Detectors (side-MRDs). The detectors include both water and plastic targets, which allows to measure the ratio of the two cross-sections with the same neutrino flux. The flux being the main source of systematics errors, the precision of the measurement will be greatly improved in the ratio measurement since most of the systematics will cancel out.\\
In this thesis we will first present the theoretical framework of neutrino oscillation and neutrino interactions with matter. Then we will discuss both T2K and WAGASCI experimental setups and highlight the intermediate setup that has been used for our measurement. We will then describe our Monte-Carlo simulation and CC0pi event selection. Especially we will present the particle identification algorithm used in this selection. We will explain the method we chose to extract the cross-section (the Bayesian unfolding) and the determination of a convergence criterion based on both the Monte-Carlo and the data. In between we will carefully describe both statistical and systematic errors and how we evaluated them as well as their impact on the cross-section measurement. Finally we will present our experimental results on the measurement of the cross-sections on water, on hydrocarbon as well as the ratio of these cross-sections.\\
Because the configuration used in this thesis is not the final one, we cannot yet work with high-angle events. Side-MRDs were not yet installed at the time when the data were taken. Furthermore the muon detector used could not stop high-momentum muons because of a limited depth. However, our intermediate setup will be enough to conduct a comprehensive analysis with sufficient statistics. | <urn:uuid:2aba9ee7-f59f-4f53-a2a5-a761ed57c88a> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://llr.in2p3.fr/olivier-volcy-soutient-sa-these?lang=fr | 2020-09-27T11:15:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400274441.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20200927085848-20200927115848-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.924235 | 439 |

A career in modeling has taken Joan Smalls quite far after signing with an agency like IMG Worldwide that has her constantly posing for incredible photo shoots.
The Puerto Rican beauty always shares jaw-dropping content with her 5.2 million followers whenever she’s dressed her best in top-notch labels and brands.
Joan recently appeared on the red carpet for the American Music Awards looking like an absolute goddess in her dress of choice.
Gold is typically a color representing royalty and opulence – and she was embodying both of those things in a major way.
The AMAs is a great place for celebrities to show off their impeccable fashion senses, and she obviously got the memo.
Not long before that, Joan posed for a gorgeous shot wearing Anne Klein clothing while letting her followers know they could purchase similar pieces from Macy’s.
Joan Smalls looks gorgeous in gold
Joan represented herself well on the AMAs’ red carpet, wearing a gold dress with a turtleneck collar and long sleeves. It provided tons of coverage on top, but it was still formfitting enough to show off her perfect curves.
The sarong tied around her waist had a giant slit in the front to show off her lean and toned legs. Since the bodysuit she wore on top was tucked perfectly into her sarong, a couple of inches of skin on her waist were left visible. She accessorized with a pair of gold heels strapped together around her ankles and over her toes.
She also wore chunky gold bracelets on both wrists. She kept her nail polish simple with a neutral shade of pink. The stunning model wore flawless makeup with her dark brown hair parted down the middle.
Joan Smalls models Anne Klein pieces
Anne Klein is the name of a fashion brand that sells items on the racks and shelves of Macy’s department stores. Joan posed for a breathtaking picture wearing some pieces from their line –– and she looked absolutely amazing.
She wore a red blouse that came together around her neck in a very chic manner. It was sleeveless, so her toned arms and shoulders were easy to see. On her bottom half, she wore a pair of bright blue slacks that looked professional and fun at the same time.
She ensured the slacks were being held up in perfect position with a simple black belt with a gold clasp over her midsection. She accessorized with a small gold watch and a pair of small hoop earrings.
Joan added a caption that said, “The season is looking bright @annekleinofficial @macys” to shout out both the designer and the department store at one time.More: Joan Smalls | <urn:uuid:62272ba1-57c0-4bcc-9869-f6c0718b115a> | CC-MAIN-2022-49 | https://www.monstersandcritics.com/celebrity/joan-smalls-is-a-golden-goddess-in-leggy-sarong-and-bodysuit-for-amas-red-carpet/ | 2022-12-06T21:13:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-49/segments/1669446711114.3/warc/CC-MAIN-20221206192947-20221206222947-00550.warc.gz | en | 0.973081 | 559 |
