Black is the new... black. It's the age-old competition of the LBD
Published 13/03/2014 | 21:58
Stepping out on the red carpet for the premiere of 'NOAH' at Zoo Palast in Berlin, Jennifer Connelly and Emma Watson are dressed to kill. But in eerily similar outfits.
A far cry from their characters' wardrobes in the recently released biblical flick, both Connelly and Watson opted for floor-length black gowns at tonight's event in Germany.
But who has scooped the prize for style icon of the night: the 23-year-old English actress of 'Harry Potter' fame or her older American counterpart who stole our hearts in 'Labyrinth'?
With a sleek mane and vampish lips, Watson looks every bar the Hollywood starlet that she had fought to become since starring in the magical film franchise from JK Rowling's books.
However, despite the twenty year age gap, Connelly doesn't fail to impress - and adds a flirty flourish with a thigh high frontal split. A softer hairstyle and paler lips than Watson's finish her get-up. | <urn:uuid:e6da3eff-faec-4943-bf34-d8c4b8b10416> | CC-MAIN-2016-50 | http://www.independent.ie/woman/black-is-the-new-black-its-the-ageold-competition-of-the-lbd-30091040.html | 2016-12-04T17:58:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-50/segments/1480698541324.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20161202170901-00113-ip-10-31-129-80.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.947789 | 240 |

Monday Night Extended Cocktail Hour
We will forego the traditional Monday night banquet and have an extended "cocktail hour" with food. This will allow conference participants to enjoy the local restaurants in Newport. | <urn:uuid:cb5da59f-fcbe-49a6-84f1-2b3364431d9c> | CC-MAIN-2015-11 | http://www.nahsl.org/2010/ | 2015-03-02T18:58:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-11/segments/1424936462982.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20150226074102-00285-ip-10-28-5-156.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.785465 | 114 |
Monte Towe torn between two homes
His head is spinning, his heart tugging in two directions. Monte Towe is excited, yet melancholy. He is confused and focused at the same time.
On Monday Towe was headed for Raleigh, N.C., his old home and probably his new home. In his rear-view mirror was the city of New Orleans, still sifting through the rubble and mold as it tries to rebuild.
Towe also left behind a bewildered college basketball team, one that spent last season on two different campuses in two different states and played its home games in an arena that makes Alligator Alley look like the United Center.
"I was crying when I talked to them at our team meeting," Towe said Monday. "I love those guys. I can't explain the feeling. I'm drained. I'm worn out."
Towe, who spent nine years as an assistant basketball coach at Florida and two more as the head coach at Santa Fe CC, is meeting with North Carolina State officials today, presumably to finalize a deal to become Sidney Lowe's top assistant with the Wolfpack.
Lowe was named the N.C. State coach late last week and there have been reports that Towe has already accepted the job as the associate head coach and resigned from his job as the University of New Orleans head coach.
"That's not true," Towe said. "I haven't resigned from anything. We're meeting (today) and I expect everything to go well. I expect everything is going to be fine. There are some things we need to talk about and there are some buyout issues back in New Orleans. But it seems like it is going to happen."
It's not often that someone leaves a job as a head coach at a Division I school for a job as an assistant coach at a school that spent weeks trying to convince someone to take its head coaching job.
But this was a unique situation for Towe, who helped N.C. State to a national title in 1974. Assuming everything is worked out today, N.C. State's top two basketball coaches will be the starting point guards on the school's two national championship teams.
Towe and Lowe have a serious friendship that goes back to Towe being part of the staff that recruited Lowe to N.C. State.
"If I didn't have a job," Towe said, "this would be a no-brainer."
But he does have a job and that's what makes this so difficult.
On the one hand, he's got Wolfpack alums and former teammates like Tom Burleson and David Thompson calling him home.
On the other hand, he can't help but feel some sadness for what he likely will be leaving behind.
Last year, UNO was one of a dozen stories about athletic teams which had to relocate after Hurricane Katrina. For the Privateers, it was Tyler, Texas for four months. When they finally made it back to New Orleans, they played home games in the Health and Physical Fitness Center, also known as the "Chamber of Horrors." UNO went 10-19 in Towe's fifth year at the school, but just getting through the season was the real triumph.
"Our arena isn't going to be ready for a year," Towe said. "I have no office, there is no locker room. The school gets 66 percent of its athletic budget from student fees and our enrollment is down 6,000. And the city, it's not prepared. If we get another major storm, it could shut down a lot of things.
"But there is going to be a lot of emptiness in me if this works out. They're going to be a good basketball team. I told them that. I told them I might be back getting them ready for individual workouts. Or I might not be back."
It's unlikely he will be back. N.C. State for Monte Towe is more than a return to the place where he gained fame as an athlete, more than a reunion with an old friend, more than a chance to return to a major conference.
It's a refuge.
"I'm 52 years old and I have a wife," he said. "I have to look out for what's best for me."

Getting healthy doesn’t have to involve painful and agonizing changes, and experience says that just making small adjustments to your shopping and cooking habits will have far more benefits than those massive gestures. Easy swaps such as using oil instead of butter, or baking instead of frying, can end up making all the difference.
Simply adding a supplement like Vital Greens from Fourbody can help ensure you’re getting all the nutrients you need, without needing to consume a huge amount of food to get the daily five serves of vegetables recommended by nutritionists. Healthy living is about more than just your weight, it’s about your sugar intake, fat intake, nutrition and cholesterol levels. All of that may seem daunting at first, but it doesn’t mean that it can’t be simple! If you can get your head around a few simple rules, you’ll feel healthier in no time at all.
By Eada Hudes
01. I know I know… But it’s water!
Sorry. I know, you know!
Staying hydrated may not actually be the cure for all your bodily woes, but it will help keep your digestion and metabolism on track. It can also help in the prevention of headaches and other uncomfortable things that dehydration can cause. Not only that, but if you are partial to the sweeter and saltier things in life, then a decent amount of water can help flush these indulgences through your system, ensuring a minimal impact on your insides. A great way to incorporate this into your day is to just have water on the table when you eat, and have a glass in-between sodas or alcohol. This will also help with hangovers, so that’s a bonus!
02. Vitamins and Minerals
If you’re anything like me, getting healthy is super easy… for about 4 hours. The moment where I realise that I don’t actually want to eat all of that fruit I just bought is usually when things take a turn for the worst. The key to success isn’t restricting and monitoring everything that goes into your body, it’s the slow swapping of one thing for another.
For example, I love snacking! I love it so much that I could marry it, so I’m not going deprive myself when I don’t have to! Instead of reaching for that soda, I might make a delicious sweet smoothie with fruit and juice and mineral water. This goes the same for chocolate and crisps, as I reach for some dates or banana chips to quell my cravings. These are still very sweet but at least you are getting a little something good out of it! The key to keeping up a decent level of nutrient rich foods is not getting bored. Finding things you really do want to eat and changing it up as often as you can will stop those healthy choices from quickly becoming a chore.
03. Always Have an Easy Option
Everyone knows cooking for yourself can be a massive drag, so having a few things that need little to no preparation around the house is a fantastic idea. This will help combat the urge to just skip the meal, or eat something that a) you won’t really enjoy, or b) is totally out of the realm of ‘healthy’. The top two things that will help with this are; always preparing a second serve for later when you are cooking something, and having ingredients for a meal you can enjoy cold or raw. Throw together some salmon with salad or rice you prepared earlier and a squeeze of lemon juice and you have an instant, satisfying meal that’s ready to go!
04. Explore Alternatives, Try New Things
There is no one way to enjoy a healthier lifestyle, so mix and match and have fun with it. Eat a meat-free meal a few times a week, maybe try olive spread instead of butter, try new cuisines that might be out of your comfort zone. There is always a different tip or trick out there, so if you think this list isn’t relevant for you, find another one! When you are healthy it is easier to enjoy life, and if you can make it interesting and social, you won’t resent the changes.
Remember that the key to everything is balance. There is no sense in denying yourself the occasional lazy day or snack fest, as it genuinely won’t hurt (unless it becomes too frequent). Exercise and healthy habits can be fun and delicious, and if one way’s not working for you, just move on to the next. Your body will never punish you for having some water or getting a little veg, so even if it doesn’t stick this time it doesn’t mean that you didn’t do at least some good while you were trying. | <urn:uuid:d3c5cffb-4845-49e9-ad02-cee731d7613f> | CC-MAIN-2018-51 | https://creammagazine.com/2016/08/30/vita-conscious-an-introduction-to-healthy-living/ | 2018-12-10T17:34:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-51/segments/1544376823382.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20181210170024-20181210191524-00314.warc.gz | en | 0.947535 | 997 |
We may have lost the MacInnes Cup (again) and January's cold snap wreaked havoc on statue building, but Winter Carnival 2011 did not fail to disappoint residents and visitors to the Copper Country alike.
Begun in 1922 as a one-night "Ice Carnival" put on by the students' association, Winter Carnival didn't pick up speed until Blue Key Honor Fraternity (now Blue Key Honor Society) took up oversight in 1934, after years of Carnival dormancy due to the Great Depression.
Since then, Blue Key has had oversight over much of the current Winter Carnival, including planning, publicity and fundraising. As soon as one Winter Carnival is over, planning for the next one begins. There's the theme to choose, which is done by committee, and a logo contest to sponsor, and induction of new members as seasoned Blue Key members graduate. Committees are then established for overseeing special events, the stage revue, the queens competition, funding and awards, snow statues, and publicity.
All that said, Blue Key does not do it alone. More than 90 local organizations and individuals contribute to Winter Carnival, whether it's the cities of Houghton and Hancock moving snow around to statue sites, to local businesses participating in the window decorating contest, to donations of Dee Stadium ice time.
Carnival is more than just a beloved Michigan Tech tradition; it's a community event that brings everyone together. One stroll down the campus mall or College Avenue during the famed all-nighter is evidence that the normal boundaries of town vs. gown are set aside. The same is true for the crowds of strangers that huddle in the cold, teeth chattering, to view the fireworks display over the Portage Canal, oohing and aahing in unison.
So thank you, Houghton. Thank you, Hancock. Thank you students, sponsors, visitors, residents, and all who contributed to this year's wonderful Winter Carnival. But most of all, thank you Blue Key, who do so much work to keep this historic, magical event a thing to remember, year after year. | <urn:uuid:2d83054d-49f1-4955-8360-d9406d933b7d> | CC-MAIN-2014-15 | https://www.mininggazette.com/page/content.detail/id/519031/Carnival-story-is-Blue-Key-s-glory.html?nav=5002 | 2014-04-20T13:57:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-15/segments/1397609538787.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20140416005218-00129-ip-10-147-4-33.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.952675 | 427 |

The University of Illinois will ramp up new fertilizer management research thanks to a $2.398 million grant from the USDA, reports Tom C. Doran, Field Editor, AgriNews.
This grant was part of $16.5 million awarded through the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative administered by the USDA’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture.
David Bullock, agricultural and consumer economics professor, is the lead investigator for the research that focuses on using precision technology in on-farm field trials to enable data-intensive fertilizer management.
“There is a critical need to generate reliable, site-specific estimates of optimal fertilizer application rates and timing that will be readily adopted by farmers. To generate high-quality data, we will use precision agriculture technology and develop CyberGIS-based software to run low-cost, large-scale, on-farm agronomic field trials conducted by farmers during normal operations,” U of I’s grant application stated.
“Our research will address the Agricultural Production Systems Program Area Priority, in that we will increase agricultural productivity and food security by generating data used to provide management advice that will allow farmers to achieve crop yields with reduced fertilizer input use while limiting nitrogen contamination of the nation’s waters.”
Additionally, project results will aid in the development of socially sustainable agro-environmental policy.
Project objectives are to:
- Develop a data-driven on-farm precision-agriculture-based research-extension-teaching infrastructure that raises farm income by facilitating movement of data and valuable management information between farmers and researchers.
- Provide to the public and policymakers accurate information about the costs and benefits of agricultural fertilization policies, especially in regard but not limited to U.S. corn and soybean production.
- Train and place selected under-represented students in positions to improve agricultural research and agribusiness collaborations between the U.S. and Latin America.
The grant’s term runs through February 2018. | <urn:uuid:a4bf768b-8279-4828-918e-cc47c1a927d4> | CC-MAIN-2018-39 | https://www.precisionag.com/specialty-crops/new-fertilizer-research-project-focuses-on-using-precision-ag-technology/ | 2018-09-21T20:22:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-39/segments/1537267157503.43/warc/CC-MAIN-20180921190509-20180921210909-00473.warc.gz | en | 0.898518 | 409 |

Montecristo Sublimes LE 2008 Review:
Sublimes size was first presented as part of the 2004 Limited Edition in the Cohiba brand. Now, Montecristo brings it back with its characteristic blend. A Habano to remember, respectfully long, with a proper draw and ready to show forth the notably medium to full flavour of said brand.
All the leaves (filler, binder and wrapper) have been aged at least for two years.

I had an expiring Delta certificate from a flight bump a year ago and the New York JFK – St. Maarten flight was nearly the exact amount left on the cert. Off-season Caribbean here I went. If you have been following me on Instagram, facebook or twitter you’ve seen the pictures as I darted around the islands.
In this series:
- Northern Caribbean Island Hopping Itinerary
- St Maarten – Caribbean Vice
- Video – Maarten Airport Golf Cart Tarmac Transfer
- St Martin – The Quiet Side
- Anguilla – Discretion Island
- Saba – Kong Island of the Caribbean
- Video: Landing at Saba Airport, Shortest Commercial Runway in the World
- St Barth’s – Gorgeous People, Pricey Hamburgers
- St Kitts – Plantation Splurge and Mega Fortress
- Nevis – Is An Hour Enough?
I am not a beach person and not much for chilling out, so my goal was a rapid-fire survey of the islands, see what might qualify for a languid trip with my wife, and scoop up a few Travelers’ Century Club locations. This is not the recommend way for most people to see the Caribbean, quite against the spirit of doing nothing, however I had a lot of fun.
What was clear is to avoid cruise ships and peak season. These are small islands with limited infrastructure. I can’t imagine St. Kitt’s with a bunch of mega ships at dock. They taper off by April, so May-June, ahead of hurricane season, is a nice time to visit.
The challenge was to scoop up as many places as possible without attempting to fly LIAT, which everyone with Caribbean experience says to avoid at nearly all costs. In my short visit I saw plenty evidence of their massive delays. So I turned to St. Maarten-based WinAir and ferries. WinAir really impressed me with every flight on their fleet of four DHC-6 Twin Otter planes arriving early and the flexibility to change to earlier different flights as needed. Being offseason some flights had only a couple people but none were canceled.
Booking WinAir was more of a challenge. Trying to book all my flights together had the allure of savings through ITA and Hipmunk but I never was able to get any to ticket. I played the Orbitz “this fare has sold out” game for a while as well as at other sites. Eventually I had to book the first segment as a one-way on Priceline and the rest as a multi-city on Expedia, in total $60 less than booking on WinAir but $150 more than the theoretical savings on Hipmunk. It would have been even pricier to book each roundtrip separately. If you book them, play with some combinations to see what works.
- New York – St Maarten (SXM) on Delta, arriving 13:05.
- Original plan was to try to catch the 13:20 WinAir to Saba (SAB) rather than the 17:45 I booked, but WinAir took off 20 minutes early, which is typical for them.
- Alternate: taxi to the French side of the island, St Martin, for the ferry to Anguilla.
- 1.5 hour taxi tour of Anguilla.
- Ferry back to St Martin, taxi to St Maarten, 17:45 flight to Saba.
- Overnight at budget guesthouse El Momo Cottages on Saba.
- Dawn hike up to Mt. Scenery (took a nasty tumble on the way down, spent the morning bandaging up and washing my clothes).
- 10:55 flight back to St Maarten, connecting to St. Barth’s (SBH).
- Walk from St. Barth’s airport to Gustavia and around the town. Rarely wear sandals and forget to put sun block on my feet: ouch!
- 14:05 flight back to St Maarten (originally booked 16:10 but I had seen enough of $18 crepes and hamburgers).
- Overnight at Travel Inn Hotel in Simpson’s Bay near St Maarten airport (only recommended as a cheap, transit hotel; no beach).
- 08:15 flight to St Kitt’s (SKB).
- Rental car with Hertz and drive to UNESCO-listed Brimstone Hill Fortess and around the island plantations.
- Found ripe soursops to eat: if I ever live on a tropical island by base reuqirement is ample supply of soursop, passion fruit and coconut.
- Unplanned addition: ferry to Nevis and back, just in case they ever exercise their independence option. The ferry was most pleasant than sitting in St Kitt’s heat.
- Walking tour of Charlestown, Nevis, including the Alexander Hamilton birth house.
- 19:25 flight from St Kitt’s back to St Maarten via Nevis (at one point I had looked at booking from Nevis, however that was breaking my fare. I did call WinAir and they said I could probably walk up at Nevis and get it sorted for a $35 change fee).
- Overnight at Travel Inn Hotel again.
- Already visited Anguilla so morning was clear and I stayed at hotel and caught up on work.
- 14:15 Delta flight back to New York.
In the following posts I will give my thoughts on each of the islands. In this cluster I only missed St Eustatius. Preview: Saba was my favorite. | <urn:uuid:3b88e7f4-4198-4c07-8586-b92f31b0d513> | CC-MAIN-2017-34 | http://rapidtravelchai.boardingarea.com/2014/05/22/northern-caribbean/ | 2017-08-24T01:07:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-34/segments/1502886126017.3/warc/CC-MAIN-20170824004740-20170824024740-00615.warc.gz | en | 0.958329 | 1,179 |

Voices lifted in song at historic Scrabble School on Nov. 6 as members of the Unity Choir performed during an open house.
The Unity Choir draws members from several local churches for community performances. The group performed at Scrabble under the direction of Alfreda Dean of Macedonia Baptist Church in Flint Hill. The choir sang familiar hymns to guitar and keyboard accompaniment and the audience was encouraged to join in the singing.
“The Unity Choir, the artisans and attendees brought this building back to the life it had when it was a school. It’s evolving and becoming the special community place we envisioned for it,” said Bob Lander, outgoing president of the Scrabble School Preservation Foundation.
In addition to the choir, local artisans showed quilts, hand crafts and cooking talents during the day. Tom Tepper, local architect and artist, signed copies of the Scrabble School logo that he created and presented to the preservation foundation in 2002.
Scrabble School was one of four schools in Rappahannock County that served African-American students from 1921 to 1968. The Nov. 6 event was the foundation’s last of four yearly activities hosted by the foundation. Black History Month in February, “May Day,” and “Back to School” in September are the other sponsored events.
First first-grader since . . .
On Oct. 22, Scrabble School hosted a visit from Jennifer Thede’s first grade class at Wakefield Country Day School in Huntly to the Rappahannock African-American Heritage Center at the school. The last time a first grade class came to Scrabble, the year was 1968.
Thede’s class already knew that Scrabble School was where African-American children attended classes “a long time ago.” Heritage Center staff member Susanna Spencer (also the librarian at Wakefield), told the first graders about school days at Scrabble with stories related by Scrabble School alumni. Several children tried out the antique desks as the class compared an old lunch box and hand-held slate to their modern equivalents. Substitute pizza and ice cream, and the Wakefield students also completely understood the enthusiasm Scrabble students had for special days, such as “soup day” and “ice cream day.”
The young visitors had questions about the school’s teachers, the playground, and the old school books that were on display. Spencer and Thede talked about the “story wall” that illustrates the Scrabble School story in pictures and words and students experimented with the interactive computer that features alumni describing what it was like to go to school at Scrabble. The two teachers had to remind the youngsters that the people on the screen used to be little, too. The field trip back in time ended with the first-graders thanking Spencer for telling and showing how it was going to school “way back then,” when it wasn’t like it is today.
The Rappahannock African-American Heritage Center shares the school with the Rappahannock Senior Center at Scrabble School. The senior center is open from 10 to 2 Monday through Thursday and the African-American center is open to the public on alternating Friday and Saturday afternoons, and/or by appointment. To arrange an educational program or tour, call 540-987-8504 or 540-987-3836.
Scrabble School is located south of Woodville at the intersection of U.S. 522 and Route 626 (Scrabble Road).

Fantastic news – Sweet Spot is now available for pre-order! You can buy your copy now and it’ll be delivered straight to your eReader or other device on the day of release, 18th June.
Here’s a reminder of what it’s all about:
Virginia Miller is an up-and-coming tennis star. She’s gone from a ratty tennis court in a park in south London, England, to the world’s top training facility—Los Carlos Tennis Academy in California. In awe of the talent around her, Virginia is all the more determined to make the most of the opportunity and show that she’s worthy of her place there.

All walkers are issued with a Credencial which is like a passport into which perigrinos need to collect two sellos (stamps) per day to verify one has walked the minimum of 100kms to qualify for the Compostela which is th certificate issued on reaching Santiago de Compostela.
Sellos are issued in all kinds of places from cafes to churches with each being quite unique. Some individually go quite mad collecting the various sellos with it becoming a bit of a competition to see who can collect the most.
The most memorable sellos I collected was at the monestry in Samos which was founded in the 6th century.
Walking in single file along a very narrow, lush and verdant trail through the woods on a somewhat overgrown, muddy path flanked on the left by a crystal clear running river we emerged to the impressive rear view of the imposing monestry which dominated the landscape.
The tour was all in Spanish and we understood not a word but it was worth paying the adminission for the tour just to get inside the cloisters and see the treasurers of the church which included impressive books.
The inscription about the library door read ” A cloister without a library is like a castle without an armory.”
The monk who stamped my credencil , spoke only Spanish but was extremely forward and had clearly been imbiling a little too much of the liquor for which the Benedictines were famous!
In fact the monestry caught fire twice during its history as, according to the story we were told, the stills exploded and caused considerable damage. There is a gallery of pictures in the cloisters that tells the story of the fire.
Today, they no longer make Benedictine but it was for sale in the gift shop. Our monk was no doubt doing some quality control to ensure it was up to scratch or perhaps he was trying to keep warm as those old stone walls are definitely very chilly? | <urn:uuid:86be2ada-3d23-47d0-b51e-8e3b68ece66c> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://michellehanton.com/2013/07/29/my-camino-part-2/ | 2020-10-01T21:16:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600402132335.99/warc/CC-MAIN-20201001210429-20201002000429-00580.warc.gz | en | 0.983715 | 405 |

A message from our Founder
Thank you for your interest in CollegeTransit. Years ago, while attending James Madison University, my parents and I were trying to find a convenient and inexpensive way for me to travel from school in Virginia to home on Long Island for the holidays. I didn't have a car or the money to spend on plane tickets, so it became necessary for me to find a way to get home for the holidays.
Sitting in my dorm room (in Eagle Hall) I began contacting charter bus companies. My roommate Craig and I put up flyers around campus and soon had enough interest to charter two buses for 96 students traveling to the NY/NJ/CT area for Thanksgiving. In the years that followed, we witnessed an increase in new and return travelers, as well as new trips and destinations. Even many of the upper class men who had cars preferred to take the bus, as it became a fun way to go home for the holidays - surrounded by friends. Our service also earned the respect and appreciation of both the parents and the administration.
CollegeTransit continues to expand the number of trips, schools and destinations we offer, providing the same reliable and convenient service we pride ourselves on. CollegeTransit understands the needs of the students as we were patrons of our own service. We will work diligently in enhancing both the student and parent experience to make the trip more enjoyable and are always open to suggestions for improvement.
Thank you again for your interest in CollegeTransit, and may you have a successful college career. | <urn:uuid:a404fa15-51c0-4253-a7cc-d1113972b2a3> | CC-MAIN-2020-45 | http://www.collegetransit.com/aboutus.asp | 2020-10-29T16:07:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-45/segments/1603107904834.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20201029154446-20201029184446-00371.warc.gz | en | 0.968458 | 434 |

Total acquires Fonroche Biogaz, leads in renewable gas in France
Total announced the acquisition of Fonroche Biogaz, a company that designs, builds and operates anaerobic digestion units in France. With close to 500 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of installed capacity, which doubled between 2019 and 2020, Fonroche Biogaz is today the French market leader in the production of renewable gas, with more than 10% market share.
Fonroche Biogaz has a portfolio of seven anaerobic digestion units in operation and a pipeline of four imminent projects.
Drawing on the expertise of its 85 employees, Fonroche Biogaz has developed industrial and technological expertise across the entire renewable gas value chain. Its integration marks a significant step in Total’s development in the renewable gas market, with prospects for rapid growth in the French market and for international deployment.
“This acquisition is consistent with our strategy and our climate ambition to get to Net Zero by 2050. We believe that renewable gas has a key role to play in the energy transition as it contributes to reducing the carbon intensity of natural gas – and we support the imposition of renewable gas incorporation in natural gas networks,” says Philippe Sauquet, president, Gas, Renewables & Power at Total.
“In 2020, we stated our intention to contribute to the development of this sector, which we expect to become more competitive in the next few years. We intend to produce 1.5 terawatt-hours (TWh) of biomethane a year by 2025 and Fonroche Biogas is therefore the cornerstone of our development in this market,” Sauquet added.
“We are proud to join the Total Group, which has shown strong vision and ambition, by launching a massive and sustainable investment program in renewable energies. Our integrated business model combined with Total’s strength and global reach gives us a positive and sustainable outlook for the future. Their excellent track record in the solar sector – both in terms of the duration of their investments and their strong growth – has confirmed our decision to combine the expertise of Fonroche Biogaz teams with this French energy major,” said Yann Maus, president and founder of Fonroche Group.
With this acquisition, Total becomes a major player in renewable gas in France and Europe, and significantly strengthens its presence in the sector, already effective through its affiliates Méthanergy (combined heat and power production from biogas), PitPoint and Clean Energy (biomethane production and distribution via a network of Bio-CNG/Bio-LNG stations) in Benelux and the United States respectively.
In December 2020, Total signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Clean Energy to establish a USD100 million 50-50 joint venture to develop renewable gas production projects in the United States. By 2030, Total plans to produce 4 to 6 TWh of biomethane a year. | <urn:uuid:59e15bc3-a070-4167-9266-981c0fac725b> | CC-MAIN-2021-17 | https://www.fuelsandlubes.com/total-acquires-fonroche-biogaz-leads-in-renewable-gas-in-france/ | 2021-04-18T03:07:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-17/segments/1618038464146.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20210418013444-20210418043444-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.945224 | 621 |
Summer has come to an end and schools are picking backing up. We’ve noticed students look for new devices to start off the school year right. There are always many questions that come with a new device.
What’s the difference between the expensive ones and the cheap ones? Which brand? How big?
But the question we’ve heard lately is: Should I get a tablet or a laptop?
Although there are many pros to each, one isn’t better than the other! It all just depends on what you need out of your device.
Let’s begin with tablets! The biggest pros to a student wanting a tablet is that it is lightweight and small! It fits nicely in your backpack and it’s easy to whip out in class to take notes or work on assignments. Tablets are extremely useful for mild work, like browsing the web, video streaming, or simply scrolling through social media. The touchscreen makes using apps easy and accessible. For some tablets you can even add them to your phone plan, this allows you to always have connection to the internet through your plan’s data.
Now the cons of tablets are that they do not come with a built in keyboard and tend to have much less storage for files and photos than a laptop would have. Additionally, many times if a piece of software is available for tablets, it is not the full version available for regular computers.
Next, Laptops. The first plus about laptops is that the screen and keyboard are bigger. This makes working on projects and typing-intensive projects easier. Many laptops are designed thinner and smaller, so they can easily fit into a backpack. Laptops are perfect for note-taking and downloads for assignments. Laptops are great for regular work, such as emails, word processing, research, or typing. With unlimited access to software and third party add-ons, laptops can be an extremely powerful tool for completing tasks of all sorts.
The cons of a laptop? Even though they are designed to be portable, laptops are bulkier and heavier than tablets. Tablets can put into a purse, small bag or even a briefcase. Many laptops also tend to have a shorter battery life and cords are once again, bulkier for laptops than tablets.
If you’re a student or in a career that would require you to work on the go (such as small business owner or one who travels often), we would recommend a laptop. Otherwise, a tablet will most likely suit your needs just fine. For the average person’s needs, a tablet is easier and more convenient. Need help picking one out? We’d love to help. | <urn:uuid:f1312a3b-540a-4c1c-a4f4-69f18d4f8ae4> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www.technav.org/back-to-school-shopping-tips/ | 2019-06-19T23:07:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999066.12/warc/CC-MAIN-20190619224436-20190620010436-00396.warc.gz | en | 0.951915 | 550 |

Music star Taylor Swift showed all the signs of her future career as a singer/songwriter when she was still a small girl growing up in Pennsylvania. Creative from the beginning, Swift was singing for local audiences by the time she was ten, and won a national poetry contest in the fourth grade for her poem "Monster in My Closet." By 12, the young artist was singing, writing songs, playing the 12-string guitar, and shopping demos around Nashville, hoping to score a record contract.
Within a few years, Swift's family relocated to the Nashville area so that the aspiring performer could pursue her career full-time. She was eventually offered a development deal with RCA, but rejected it when it didn't allow for her to record her own songs. Swift would be rewarded for her stalwartness, however, when she was signed by Big Machine Records a short time later. She was also hired in as the youngest staff songwriter ever to work for Sony/ATV Tree publishing.
Swift released a self-titled album in 2006, and it became an immediate hit, soon setting chart records that put her in league with established acts like the Dixie Chicks and Carrie Underwood. She released her sophomore album, Fearless, in 2008, which debuted at no. 1 on the Billboard 200 list and became the top-selling album in the U.S. for 2009 and launched her first world tour to support the album. Shortly after, Swift made a move into acting, appearing in an episode of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and pulling double duty as both the host and musical guest in an episode of Saturday Night Live. The following year, she appeared in the ensemble romcom Valentine's Day, opposite another young Taylor- Taylor Lautner, of the Twilight film series.
Despite trying to branch out into acting, Swift quickly returned to music, keeping very busy releasing three albums between 2010 and 2014 and going on a tour to support each one. Her 2014 release, 1989, marked her official break with country and was her first album to be exclusively pop.

Roberto Mancini could not hide his anger at the perceived refereeing conspiracy he claims is threatening to sabotage Manchester City's season.
Liverpool 2-2 Manchester City: Bellamy fires Reds to Wembley
Tweet my Goal! The best gags from Liverpool's Carling Cup semi-final triumph over City
Opinion: The bad news for City is they're out of the Cup; the good news? Kompany's ban is over
Mancini, still brooding over the FA's decision to hit Mario Balotelli with a four-game ban for a violent conduct, a punishment applied retrospectively, was faced with a fresh injustice at Anfield.
Replays showed the penalty awarded to Liverpool by ref Phil Dowd to be a wrong decision, the ball having hit Micach Richards on the leg before bouncing up and striking his arm.
With Mancini now deprived of Balotelli for four crucial games in City's pursuit of the Premier League title, Mancini suggested the same retrospective methods should be applied after Wedneday night's events.
"On Monday, they decided to send Mario off, yet the referee had been there and seen everything," he said.
"If it was correct, then send him off during the game. So maybe they will change this result tomorrow.
"The referee was there, 10 metres from the incident involving Mario. If he thought it was a red card, he should have sent Mario off there and then, not after watching a video.
"The referee was there he can't see he didn't see it, Mario can do nothing he can't play for four games now.
"Here, Liverpool's first goal was not a penalty. I do feel a sense of injustice. It was a stupid penalty."
Mancini's anger stems from a perception that there is an agenda against City when it comes to refereeing decisions.
It began with skipper Vincent Kompany's four-match ban for a two-footed tackle and red card against Manchester United.
When Liverpool's Glen Johnson produced a similar tackle on Joleon Lescott in the first leg of this semi-final tie and escaped punishment, Mancini was incensed at what he saw as double standards.
That anger reached boiling point with Balotelli's retrospective ban for his stamp on Tottenham's Scott Parker and subsequent trial by TV, ref Howard Webb citing the incident having watched it again.
"In the last two months we have been very unlucky with referees," said Mancini. "It was not a penalty for Liverpool, because the ball touched Micah's leg before his hands.
"I don't know how it's possible to concede a penalty like this and not get one for the foul on Edin Dzeko.
"I haven't spoken to the referee it is impossible to speak to him. I am tired of it after so many games.
"I think Phil Dowd is one of the best referees in England. I am just giving my opinion and for me it was not a penalty."
There was one silver lining for Mancini, this being the final game of Kompany's four-match ban.
City have badly missed their imperious skipper, his replacement Stefan Savic having looked out of his depth throughout his spell deputising for Kompany.
Savic did not emerge after the break, following a torrid first-half, the £7million City paid for him looking like one of the most inflated fees they have paid, which is saying something considering their lavish spending.
Kompany's enforced absence from City's last four games has emphasised just what a pivotal figure he is for City, not just in terms of his own defensive ability, but in the calmness and assurance his presence and authority transmits to those defenders alongside him.
For Mancini and City, the return of their inspirational leader and defensive colossus cannot come soon enough. | <urn:uuid:5ef6163b-cfac-4b30-bc45-648106780ac5> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/manchester-city-roberto-mancini-angry-3310666 | 2017-11-23T23:28:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806979.99/warc/CC-MAIN-20171123214752-20171123234752-00637.warc.gz | en | 0.978448 | 811 |
How to Use Universal Resource Scheduling URS With Dynamics Field Service
How to Use Universal Resource Scheduling With Dynamics Field Service
Effectively assign resources for Large Organizations using Dynamic 365’s Universal Resource Scheduling
Universal Resource Scheduling (URS) is a Dynamics 365 for Customer Engagement solution. In essence, it enables organizations from many different industries with different scenarios to assign resources to jobs and tasks.
URS can be used to assign the best resources to tasks and projects based on:
- Availability of resources
- Required skills
- Promised time-frames
- Business units
- Geographical territory, etc
URS are very useful to field service organizations that often use it to schedule mobile resources to location-specific jobs and tasks (or work orders) as their resources travel to various locations. Next, URS schedules the resources with closest proximity to work orders, as work orders are generally performed onsite. So, this eventually reduces travel time and costs.
URS schedulers are very effective for finding and assigning the most relevant resources for a job or requirement. From simple maintenance, repair work, installations to anything else, URS finds the best people for the job with ease and speed.
Additionally, URS comes with the Field service module and can be seen once field service has been installed.
Creating Work Orders
One of the most important components of field service are the work orders. This helps define the kind of work that needs to be performed. With URS, it is possible to find the best hands to perform tasks at a given time.
Below are the major components of Field Service and URS:
- Bookable resources (URS)
- Resource requirements (URS)
- Work orders (Field Service)
- Resource bookings (URS)
- Schedule tools – schedule board, schedule assistant (URS)
- Resource Scheduling Optimization (installed separately) (URS)
There are also three scheduling options available based on the level of automation. These are:
1. The schedule board- which allows for drag and drop
2. The scheduling assistant- a semi automated tool
3. Resource scheduling optimization- a fully automated tool which needs to be installed separately
How to Book Resources for Work Orders Using URS
To book a resource for work orders in field service using URS you have to follow the following steps-
Firstly, create a work order with all necessary information.
Once a complete work order is created and saved, there is a related requirement entity which is generated based on the work that needs to be performed.
This requirement entity is what helps find the resources needed for the work order. It is what is assigned to the resources.
There can be a 1-1 relation between requirements and work orders but a work order can have multiple requirements as well.
Once a requirement is created it inherits a range of information from the work order including:
- Name (work order number text)
- Work order (lookup reference to work order)
- Work location (typically set to onsite by default, meaning a latitude and longitude must be set. Location agnostic work orders are supported)
- Service Territory
- Start / End date
- Preferred/restricted resources
- Fulfillment preference
Additionally, work attributes can also be edited in the requirement before scheduling it.
Finally, once a work order and requirement are ready to go and scheduled then you can use the URS to find the most suitable resource for the job.
There are several ways to use URS for scheduling. One is by using work orders and requirements, and then clicking on the book button on the top ribbon. This kick starts the URS assistant, which shows the available resources for the work. The resources listed are based on their characteristics for the specific work and their availability.
Other ways to book a work order is through the schedule board which gives a drag and drop option. Now, here you can even reschedule or reassign a work order if needed.
In addition, the resource scheduling optimization is a fully automated way to book appropriate resources. It runs on predefined criteria and can be activated with the run now button on the ribbon (but it needs to be installed and configured first to be used).
In conclusion, good resource management involves an understanding of how much effort a task requires and assigning the right person for the job. So, the Charter Global team also offers a resource management solution that empowers global project teams to make the best out of project scheduling optimization, workload balance, and a general increase in productivity.

I’m way behind in reading my RSS feeds – which makes me very glad that RSS actually exists! Imagine if I still had to save all the magazines, books, journals, and newspapers to read when I had time …. like we did in the old days.
Actually, I have to get smarter about ways to keep up with my reading 🙂
Why? because no matter what they say, we are still enjoy reading for relaxation, reading for information, reading for knowledge, reading for…well, lots of things.
I’ve always kept an eye on the various electronic readers that are around, like the Amazon Kindle, but have never actually gotten into reading with those gadgets. I like my books and journals and magazines. But I also like my technology!
One of my favourite pieces of small technology is my mobile phone. You know how it is! Communicate, track events, take pictures, even manage your online connections. I don’t moblog, or sent images or videos online just because that costs ‘big bickies’ here in Australia. I do treat myself to a “tweet” or two (write a post on Twitter), and weather or sport updates. My other favorite piece of small technology is my iPod. This is great for music, podcasts, even videos.
Now I can have Classic books to read on my mobile phone. Convenient (sort of), with hundreds of titles to choose from. Now I can an ebook with me all the time!!
Granted my mobile screen is tiny – but I can increase the font size to make it more readable. The thing is (like all technology improvements) the screens on our phones are getting bigger as on the iPhone. I’m happy with my newly acquired ebooks – so many times I have been caught out with time to kill and wished I had something to read. Now I have! My mobile now has some Twain, Checkov, Elliot, Tolstoy and Shakespeare on hand – just for fun!
Studying classic books at school? Well, perhaps we should get students to grab a copy to their mobile – maybe the different medium will appeal to them.
Somehow this fits with the success of books being published to mobile phones – a trend so popular in Japan.
….. it is Rin’s rather less challenging Moshimo Kimiga (If You …), a 142-page hardback book about a high-school romance, that has caused the bigger fuss.
“I typed it all on my mobile phone,” Rin explains matter-of-factly over the same device. “I started writing novels on my mobile when I was in junior high school and I got really quick with my thumbs, so after a while it didn’t take so long. I never planned to be a novelist, if that’s what you’d call me, so I’m still quite shocked at how successful it’s turned out.”
So successful that one volume of her book, which began its life in a series of instalments uploaded to an internet site and sent out to the phones of thousands of young subscribers, has sold more than 420,000 copies since it was converted into hardcopy format in January.
In just a few years, mobile phone novels – or keitai shousetsu – have become a publishing phenomenon in Japan, turning middle-of-the-road publishing houses into major concerns and making their authors a small fortune in the process. | <urn:uuid:dc1c6979-7774-4f7c-a526-f0703b9e3846> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://judyoconnell.com/2008/04/12/read-read-read-with-your-mobile-phone/ | 2020-09-25T20:20:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400228707.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925182046-20200925212046-00620.warc.gz | en | 0.961708 | 725 |
With our filming in Joplin completed, Amber and I have returned from the field. What a great opportunity and welcomed responsibility it was to conduct the Mural Project in Joplin during its time of healing. Our interactions and relationships formed during this project are marked by a significant moment in the history of this town. A culture of willful, spirited and resilient individuals, Joplin has likewise left a significant impression upon us. Thank you so very much.

Although we are now home from the field, there is a heap of work still to be done. Nicholas will spend the winter transcribing all of the footage from Tonkawa, Newton and Joplin, we have grants to write, an editor and composer to identify and soon enough, we will be interviewing and identifying a town for the next Mural Project.
Bigger than life
It is because of folks like you that projects like this can exist, at a time when arts funding is seriously compromised and arts agencies all over our country are shaken and at times broken, platforms like Kickstarter and individuals like you provide the tools to make possible projects like Called to Walls. It is your support and your faith in our vision that will make this film possible.
Your support so far has been overwhelming and we thank you! With one week to go, we are so very close to our goal of $10,000. If you believe in this project and its mission, please put the word out to others who would like the opportunity to support Called to Walls. With our goal of $10,000 realized, Called to Walls will move forward into Arkansas and one step closer to post-production!

Noble Research Institute Junior Beef Excellence Program recognizes the carcass merit of steers exhibited at the junior livestock shows by 4-H and FFA members in 14 south-central Oklahoma counties.
The Noble Research Institute will host a Beef Quality Assurance Certification seminar from 1:30-5 p.m. Thursday, March 14, 2019, at the Noble Research Institute Kruse Auditorium.
ARDMORE, Okla. — Environmental, social and economic sustainability is a long-held objective of the United States beef industry and the focus of a new, national research project.
Noble Research Institute has selected Myriah Johnson as a new agricultural economics consultant in the Agricultural Division.
How do you grow healthier, hardier plants for livestock and people? One answer may lie in the relationship between naturally occurring, beneficial microbes and prairie grass commonly seen in the Great Plains.
Noble Research Institute researchers are studying how cover crops could be part of a year-round grazing system that provides economic and environmental benefits to farmers and ranchers. | <urn:uuid:79ea53f6-16c1-4224-8bb3-018e1712294b> | CC-MAIN-2023-14 | https://www.noble.org/news/livestock/Newsroom/ | 2023-03-25T10:12:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-14/segments/1679296945323.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20230325095252-20230325125252-00262.warc.gz | en | 0.9057 | 270 |
SASA incorporates integrated feedstock and polymer facilities producing DMT, staple fibers, filament yarns, PET, PBT polymers and specialty chemicals with a total plant capacity of 600,000 tons per annum. SASA supplies both Turkish and European markets with high quality, high value added products.
“SASA is an exciting addition to Indorama Ventures’ portfolio that allows us extended geographic expansion into a new and fast-expanding market and territory," says Aloke Lohia, group CEO of Indorama Ventures. "The company is a well-known producer in the country and is an excellent first step into the Turkish market, allowing us to leverage its HVA production facilities to provide advantaged portfolio extensions for current and new customers. Turkey provides us the potential for expansion of domestic sales and opens up the opportunity to sell into the surrounding underserved region.
“The acquisition is in line with our three dimensional strategic plan to expand broadly into fast-growing underserved markets, horizontally into high value add (HVA) products to offer a deeper portfolio of products to our customers and vertically integrating into our feedstock as SASA has onsite feedstock,” Lohia says. “SASA has a rich heritage of technology and expertise which will be complementary to Indorama Ventures since SASA is now serving over 54 countries with 150 different types of products. Moreover, Turkey’s unique geographical position straddling Europe, North Africa, Central Asia and Middle East offers the potential for faster growth in both the domestic and export markets to neighboring countries and Europe. Turkey’s textile sector is an important area of the economy and continues to grow, being a noted exporter to the key European market. We foresee this asset being the jewel in the crown of our expansion into the Turkish market and will be a good fit for our other expansion plans in the region.”
Established in 1966, SASA’s production facilities are located in the Adana region with excellent access to the country’s transportation infrastructure allowing the company to deliver to Europe, Middle East and North Africa. | <urn:uuid:946841ad-3104-43fd-9a45-902b26d28843> | CC-MAIN-2016-22 | http://www.nonwovens-industry.com/issues/2014-05-01/view_breaking-news/indorama-ventures-acquires-sasa-in-turkey/ | 2016-05-27T14:12:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-22/segments/1464049276780.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20160524002116-00084-ip-10-185-217-139.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.943209 | 432 |

Grass is the dominant vegetation in temperate grasslands. According to the University of California, climates with annual rainfall averages of 10 to 40 inches are home to temperate grasslands. Most of the rainfall occurs in late spring and early summer. Temperatures range from as low as minus 40 degrees Fahrenheit in the winter to more than 100 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer. Vegetation found in temperate grasslands varies according to rainfall.
Temperate grasslands occur in many areas around the world, including North America, the former Soviet Union, Hungary, South Africa, Uruguay and Argentina. Prairies are grasslands with tall grasses, while steppes have short grasses. Steppes, occur in the interior of North America, Europe and in the former Soviet Union. Large shrubs and trees are nearly nonexistent in all temperate grasslands.
According to the Museum of Palenontology, seasonal droughts and occasional fires contribute to the bio diversity of prairies. Fires clear the dead grass and kill creatures too small to escape. The larger species eat those that do not survive. Plant roots remain undamaged and uses starch reserves to grow when the soil becomes moist. Temperate grassland soil has fertile upper layers, created from fires and the decay of deep grass roots. Droughts and fires, which provide bio diversity and grazing, prevent the growth of most shrubs and trees. In river valleys, some oaks, willows and cottonwoods are able to grow.Prairie vegetation includes purple needlegrass, galleta, buffalo grass, blazing stars,asters, goldenrods, sunflowers, wild indigos and clovers.
According to the Museum of Palenontology, regions with steppes receive between 10 and 20 inches of annual rainfall. Plants found growing in steppes include cacti, buffalo grass, small sunflowers and blue gramma grass. Farmers in the steppes region graze livestock and grow wheat and other crops. Many problems have harmed some steppes over time, from overgrazing, plowing and excessive salts left by irrigation. After plowing, especially during droughts, strong winds blow the loose soil. The dust storms in the U.S. Great Plains in the 1930s resulted from these conditions. | <urn:uuid:ec528609-a251-414b-bcda-f8fd03f71c28> | CC-MAIN-2018-34 | https://www.gardenguides.com/list_7162580_characteristics-temperate-grasslands.html | 2018-08-18T10:38:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-34/segments/1534221213540.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20180818095337-20180818115337-00390.warc.gz | en | 0.935448 | 471 |

I received this book for free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
Published by HarperTeen on September 2, 2014
Source: the publisher
This emotional, hilarious, devastating, and ultimately triumphant YA debut, based on actual events, recounts one girl’s rejection of her high school’s hierarchy—and her discovery of her true self in the face of tragedy.
Fall’s buzzed-about, in-house favorite.
Outside, Anika Dragomir is all lip gloss and blond hair—the third most popular girl in school. Inside, she’s a freak: a mix of dark thoughts, diabolical plots, and, if local chatter is to be believed, vampire DNA (after all, her father is Romanian). But she keeps it under wraps to maintain her social position. One step out of line and Becky Vilhauer, first most popular girl in school, will make her life hell. So when former loner Logan McDonough shows up one September hotter, smarter, and more mysterious than ever, Anika knows she can’t get involved. It would be insane to throw away her social safety for a nerd. So what if that nerd is now a black-leather-jacket-wearing dreamboat, and his loner status is clearly the result of his troubled home life? Who cares if the right girl could help him with all that, maybe even save him from it? Who needs him when Jared Kline, the bad boy every girl dreams of, is asking her on dates? Who?
Anatomy of a Misfit is Mean Girls meets The Perks of Being a Wallflower, and Anika’s hilariously deadpan delivery will appeal to readers for its honesty and depth. The so-sad-it’s-funny high school setting will pull readers in, but when the story’s dark foreboding gradually takes over, the devastating penultimate tragedy hits like a punch to the gut. Readers will ride the highs and lows alongside funny, flawed Anika — from laughter to tears, and everything in between.
Anatomy of a Misfit was an oddball book (in a good way!!!) that sunk its teeth into me and refused to let me go. No, I know I’ve said that a few times about a few books but I really mean it for this one. Like, I read this book in about 6 – maybe 7 – hours. One sitting. I put it down once for dinner, but I had only read 6 pages so that doesn’t count. So yeah, (basically) one sitting. 6-7 hours. Done. I can’t remember the last time I read a book that quickly.. High school, maybe? Or possibly my sophomore year of community college. So, a long time. This book made me laugh, made me cringe and tugged at my heartstrings. It was raw, honest and real and the author never held back, no matter how gruesome or horrifying something was. There were definitely some parts that were painful to read and some parts (like some of the language used by certain characters) that disgusted me, but the overall story was.. Epic.
Anika was such a twisted character. Self-deprecating and self-conscious. She had such a dark, sarcastic sense of humor, too. The narrative was a bit odd and I had to adjust to it, but once I did, I felt like I was having a conversation with Anika… Or reading her diary. Or even living it with her. I loved that Anika wasn’t perfect and she definitely wasn’t a goody goody. It was actually kind of refreshing to have a character with so many flaws. And because of the nature of the story, you can see such a stark contrast from her being a flawed character in the beginning, to being broken near the end, to being a changed person with a new attitude at the very end.
Logan was a character with so much depth, so much more to him than we saw. We barely scratched the surface with Logan and what his life was like. He was completely upfront and honest about his intentions and he didn’t play games. It was clear he truly cared for Anika. But he also had his moments where he scared me, though he had his reasons, thanks to a troubled home life. And then that ending… I wasn’t expecting that AT ALL! I mean, I figured SOMETHING was going to happen but… not that. I was basically sobbing by the end of the book. I was shocked. Broken. Dumbfounded…
And then there’s Jared. Jared was… I don’t even know if I can describe what he was. He wasn’t exactly complex, but it was hard to figure out his motives. One second I trusted him, the next I was calling him a jerk-face for something he said or did. And yes, technically he made this a love triangle. But it was so well done and it perfectly reflected the story and Anika’s conflicted feelings over being herself and being popular.
There were a lot of stereotypical cliches in this book – for obvious reasons; it was a huge part of the book and the lessons learned. Becky was the stereotypical mean girl/bully; Shelli was the stereotypical second-in-command, who valued her friendship with Anika but also didn’t want to end up on the mean girl’s bad side. Anika’s family was full of so many stereotypes, I don’t even know where to begin. Mr. Baum was the creepy, racist boss. And even just the town they lived in was portrayed as being small-minded, with Anika’s “vampire” dad being the voice of reason, the person insisting she “Do well and get out of that place.”
As cliche as the book was, as full of horrible things as it was, it did an amazing job of being sarcastic and making fun of itself, which lessened the harshness of some of the harsher material. It doesn’t make some of the things that were said and done okay, but it balanced out the bad to a certain extent.
Anatomy of a Misfit was the perfect example of standing by while someone is being bullied and doing nothing about it. Also, of valuing popularity over doing the right thing. It happens everyday – kids are bullied relentlessly and no one wants to stand up for them because they don’t want to be thrown to the wolves. They know if they try to speak up or protect the bullied party, they’ll also get bullied. But this has to change. Sometimes not speaking up and not stopping a bully is worse than BEING the bully.
Words can hurt. Bullying can hurt. You can’t judge someone when you don’t know them, because as the quote above shows, everyone has their share of problems. You can’t know what someone is going through just by looking at them.
Some of my favorite quotes from Anatomy of a Misfit (Please Note: These quotes came from the ARC. They might be slightly different in the final copy of the book and may be on slightly different pages):
“More than anything, I just feel bad. We shoulda done something. We shoulda tried to defend her.” — Page 35 (ARC)
“It sucks because all anybody has to do is just say something once, and then everybody just assumed it’s true.” — Page 41 (ARC)
“Does he think I’m involved in this constant humiliation? …. Am I?” — Page 64 (ARC)
“Can you imagine going to school every day and getting shoved around, your books knocked down on a daily basis?” — pg 66 (ARC)
“…Sometimes these things you say hurt people … a lot more than you think..” — Page 273 (ARC)
As mentioned a little bit earlier, the ending of this book was a punch to the gut. It was horrible and tragic and sad, but it also led to Anika’s biggest realization/life-changing moment. I’m emotionally exhausted from this amazing book. There were so many moments where I could relate to one or more characters. It brought up a lot of nasty memories that I’d rather forget, but it also teaches some important lessons.
This book could be considered a trigger book for some people, but if you can tolerate the material, it’s a must must MUST read.
With that all being said, I want to leave you with this song. The video is a bit.. different. But the song is VERY fitting. It’s relevant to the book – and it’s something we all need to remember/keep in mind.

DAY TWENTY-SEVEN: GAME YOU’D LIKE TO SEE A NEW/IMPROVED EDITION OF
The 5th Edition of Dungeons and Dragons is in the process of hitting the shelves and rather than a generic fantasy setting they’ve chosen the Forgotten Realms to hang their hat on. The first thing this day’s question made me think of is not some system I’d like to see a new edition of but rather what Campaign Setting I wanted to see given life in the new Edition of Dungeons and Dragons. So after scarce internal debate I’ve narrowed it down to two settings, and if you’ve paid any amount of attention to my incessant ramblings over this last month you can probably figure which two won out my interests. Eberron and Ravenloft!
The Demiplane of Dread has had a storied history with Dungeons and Dragons. Our first introduction to the Gothic Horror setting was with the module “Ravenloft” released in 1983 where adventurers were whisked away on the wings of malevolent mists to a fun little romp in the land of Barovia to hang out with everyone’s favorite tragic lover Strahd!
The module and its 1986 sequel module “The House on Gryphon Hill” were so popular that TSR decided to create a full campaign setting with the Realms of Terror boxed set, know colloquially as the “Black Box”. My own personal introduction to Ravenloft was through the 3rd party work by White Wolf Studios, under its Sword and Sorcery, imprint during the 3.X edition of Dungeons and Dragons.
I’ve always loved the Gothic Horror feel of the game. The Dark Powers touching everything, creating Dark Lords that rule their own corners of the plane whether they know it or not. The downtrodden masses suffering at the whims of horrifying beasts and people. No one is looking for heroes in these lands and when heroes do appear they are often met with distrust and are begrudgingly rewarded when they do help someone. It’s dark, brooding, and horrible but a truly fun setting to play.
Right now I believe all rights for the Campaign Setting have reverted back to Wizards of the Coast. I kept waiting to see some Ravenloft love back during 4th Edition but we never did. Instead my good friend Jake had to craft his own stuff, as I’ve mentioned before way back on Day 8 of this thing. Hopefully we’ll see it under this new set of rules.
In 2002 Wizards of the Coast ran a contest called the Fantasy Setting Search to allow game designers the chance to be picked as the next Campaign setting for the Dungeons and Dragons system. After sifting through over 11,000 entries the Campaign Setting written by Keith Baker, Eberron, was chosen.
When Eberron was released in June of 2004 I had just graduated from High School and was spending the summer working like a dog at a local golf course and conference center, generally enjoying most of the tropes one sees in a “teen summer” movie from the 80’s. It was basically Caddyshack every day. Gaming wasn’t left behind though, we played a lot during that summer and it was the first time Eberron entered our game. We loved it from the get-go. Magic, steampunk, and pulp noir filling every crevasse of a very fantasy world that brought races like the Warforged to life (and even the annoying changelings). Always on the verge of another great war, likely never to advance in timeline much. Truly fun stuff.
Later in college, once I had migrated to Mizzou to be with the rest of my pals, Eberron became our go to Campaign Setting. I hold many fond memories of campaign after campaign set in the world. Three separate, long-term, campaigns were run by three separate DM’s (Myself, my brother, and my buddy Nick) all set in Eberron. Every week we got together and spent a little time in Khorvaire.
I’ve mentioned it before but the longest game I ever ran was a 4th Edition D&D game set in Eberron. We played it for just over 2 years, you can even see many of my post game write ups on a blog I kept (LINK). This setting has meant a lot to me and I’ve always wanted to thank Keith Baker for creating it. I mean, even my twitter handle was chosen based on the name of Eberron’s most prolific city (Sharn). So here’s hoping I get to see it reproduced once more for 5th Edition!
I love both these settings and want to see more of them in the new rules. I suppose it would be easy enough to modify some of the older stuff to fit 5th Edition (certainly easier than it was to modify them into 4th) but I’d like to see it done up proper. We are still fresh in the launch, but things do seem to be coming along really well for this edition of D&D. Hopefully though, even if we don’t get the two I want, we will get some more interesting settings than just the Forgotten Realms, a good starter but man is that a well trod landscape! | <urn:uuid:c2cc2b09-a8f4-4f7b-a522-75fc569794ad> | CC-MAIN-2019-51 | https://melsmifgames.wordpress.com/2014/08/27/day-27-game-youd-like-to-see-a-newimproved-edition-of/ | 2019-12-13T02:42:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-51/segments/1575540548537.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20191213020114-20191213044114-00552.warc.gz | en | 0.96475 | 1,114 |
Allow me to take you on a tour of the way my mind works as I'm planning dinner. You're probably thinking, "the way her mind works is scary!" And you're right. So allow me to post the appropriate warnings before we proceed.
Ok. On with the post.
Sometime last week I was opening the fridge for a snack and noticed two slightly-shriveled bell peppers left over from the 4th of July. My brother-in-law had purchased them with no clear idea in mind and I took them off his hands. With no clear idea in mind. Now they were starting to look a little elderly and it was time to do something with them. But what?
Feeling posh, I thought I'd "confit" them. Stew them in olive oil until tender. But then what?
A quick visit to the freezer revealed a package of halibut pieces. Not filets, but oddly-shaped bits and pieces. Hali-butts. That's all Trader Joe's had to offer on our last visit, so that's what we bought. (Who the eff bought all of the salmon?) I thought I could put some pepper confit atop the fish. And that's as far as I got.
Come Sunday, the confit was ready and the fish had been thawed and was awaiting its fate on a paper-towel-covered plate in the fridge. But what to serve with it? We had no potatoes in the house, but we did have rice. I wasn't feeling the white-on-white-on-white plate, even with the nice dash of color from the peppers. Last night's meal was monochromatic enough. How about polenta? That sounded good, but we had about half a cup of cornmeal in the cupboard. :::writing cornmeal on shopping list::: What we did have was a box of Jiffy cornbread mix. I was *not* going to put the oven on in this heat. So I made...corncakes.
Corncakes, halibut, and peppers sounded...dry. I needed a sauce. Another look in the freezer caused an avalanche of ingredients - a package of Reese's-flavored Klondikes fell on my foot, followed by a bag of peas and two char siu bao. And thus was revealed the ingredient I sought: a partial bag of yellow corn kernels. I would make a corn sauce that would rival the one we ate at Babbo. Or not. But I would make a corn sauce.
And there you have it. Corn cake, halibut, bell pepper confit, corn purée. Garished with chopped green olives and a snippage of chives from the overgrown jungle that is our herb garden. And lest you think we Minxes are starving ourselves, that's just the "beauty plate." We each had more than one 2.5" diameter corn cake and matching morsel of fish. And we liked it.
I didn't do much more with the fish than heat it through, as it was still too wet to get a good sear. I think scallops, shrimp, or crab would make an excellent version of the dish, so I suggest you use your favorite seafood. As for the other components:
Bell Pepper Confit
2 ripe bell peppers (I used red and yellow)
1/2 medium onion, sliced thinly
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
First roast peppers by holding them over an open flame until the skins blacken and char. Place hot peppers in a paper bag to steam for several minutes. While still warm, rub off the blackened skin.
Quarter the peppers, coring and seeing them in the process. Slice into thin strips.
Place onions into a sautée pan with a bit of the oil and cook until softened. Add the peppers and the rest of the oil. Turn the heat down to low and stew the peppers in the oil until they are very soft and all of the moisture let off by the vegetables has evaporated, about 1 1.5 hours. Season to taste with salt and smoked paprika. Remove from heat and set aside until ready to use.
1 cup corn kernels
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup or so half and half
Sauté corn in butter until warmed through. Transfer to the bowl of a food processor. Add about half of the 1/2 and 1/2 and pureé. Strain into a bowl, saving solids for the corn cakes. Add remainder of half and half and salt and put aside until ready to use.
1 box Jiffy cornbread mix
2/3 cup milk
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced
2 scallions, chopped
solids leftover from corn purée
Stir together first four ingredients into a relatively smooth batter. Add remaining ingredients. Drop by heaping tablespoonfuls onto a greased skillet or pancake griddle over medium heat. Cook until bottoms are lightly golden. Flip cakes and cook a few minutes more until brown on both sides. Remove to a plate while cooking the rest of the cakes. When all are done, put aside until ready to use.
Place puddle of corn purée on a plate. Top with corn cake. Add a bit of your seafood of choice and top with some of the bell pepper confit. Garnish with snipped chives and chopped green olives.
We accompanied our meal with the 2008 Woodhall Seyval that was my "prize" for participating in the bacon cookoff last month. It was awful, with little or no flavor other than straight-up alcohol. Like Everclear with a bit of vinegar in it.
Bah. I still haven't tasted a Maryland wine worth drinking. | <urn:uuid:027759a7-a3b8-4ea9-901e-5532c5dfa104> | CC-MAIN-2022-49 | http://www.minxeats.com/2010/08/corn-cake-halibut-bell-pepper-confit.html | 2022-11-28T21:09:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-49/segments/1669446710662.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20221128203656-20221128233656-00287.warc.gz | en | 0.962741 | 1,238 |

Lancaster Caramel Company, ca.1896-1900
Western Branch, Lancaster Caramel Company, ca.1894-1900
Confectioner's Journal, 1895
Milton Hershey started the Lancaster Caramel Company in 1886 after he returned to Lancaster, Pennsylvania following the failure of his New York City candy business. The Lancaster business would be his third confectionery venture. The new business was first located in Jacob Gable’s big warehouse on the west side of South Duke Street near Vine Street. However, the facilities were unsuitable lacking a boiler to cook the caramels. Hershey soon moved to an old factory building on Church Street. The factory had once housed the Edison Electric Plant and now was home to a variety of businesses including a carriage maker’s shop, a carpet beating business and a piano and organ manufacturer.
The early months were a struggle. Bank credit to purchase raw ingredients was difficult to obtain. Milton Hershey had returned to Lancaster with a bad credit rating due to his failed New York business. He had little to offer for collateral other than some cooking kettles in a rented facility in a questionable part of town. Help came when Hershey needed it most from the cashier at the Lancaster County National Bank. Hershey had received a large order for his milk caramels from a British candy importer, known today only by his cable address, "DECIES" and Hershey needed to borrow money to purchase raw ingredients to fulfill the order. The bank's cashier was so impressed by Milton Hershey that he lent him the money, backing the loan with his own signature. When Milton Hershey received payment for the candy order he was so excited that he ran down the street to the bank with his apron still on.
That order marked a turning point for the Lancaster Caramel Company. The business began to grown rapidly and Hershey expanded into other parts of the factory building as tenants vacated. By 1890 he occupied the entire building. He soon expanded down the street. On November 10, 1891 he purchased from his Aunt Mattie 347 Church Street, a small house she had purchased a year earlier. This dwelling’s address became the Company’s main office address. Other adjoining properties were bought piece by piece until Lancaster Caramel Company extended 301 feet along Church Street and 207 feet back to Howard Avenue (then Middle Street), containing 450,000 square feet of floor space.
Still needing more factory space, Milton Hershey expanded the company outside of Lancaster. In 1891 he acquired three lots and a small factory in Mount Joy, Pennsylvania and the new factory soon began caramel production.
In 1892, Lancaster Caramel Company expanded westward. One of the Lancaster Caramel Company’s competitors could offer its western customers lower shipping prices because their factory was located in the midwest. Hershey responded to the competition by building a factory in Illinois. The Lancaster Caramel Company’s Western Branch was located on West Harrison Street in Chicago. The Western Branch operated from that location for two and one-half years before it moved to a larger, more conveniently located factory in Bloomington, Illinois. The Bloomington factory operated until 1900 when it was sold to the Paul F. Beich Company.
Shortly after establishing the Western Branch, Hershey set up a third caramel factory in Reading, Pennsylvania. The factory was located in a building on Penn Strret that had last functioned as a cabaret, Groff’s Tropical Gardens.. After the factory burned down in 1899 the business moved to a site on Mifflin Street, between Spruce and Pine Streets.
Hershey’s caramels were manufactured under the "Crystal A" trademark. The Lancaster Caramel Company product line included different grades of caramels priced for different markets. They ranged from bean-shaped MCGINTYs that sold to children at the rate of ten for a penny, medium-grade JIM CRACK and ROLY POLY, to the top grade LOTUS. These top of the line caramels were made with sugar, corn syrup, fresh whole milk and 40% cream, together with almonds, a little cocoa powder, and a taste of chocolate. The inch-square LOTUSES sold to the trade in a five pound box for a dollar. The Lancaster Caramel Company product line was extensive. Other products included:
- HOBSON KISSES made with sugar, corn syrup, and a little milk
- Black MASSA KISSES same ingredients with a touch of lampblack
- PARADOX highest quality product line
- COCANUT ICES highest quality product line
- UNIQUE Budget product line; narrow strips; selling 8 for a penny
- ICELTS Made with skim milk. Machine molded in a bean shape; hand iced
- MELBA Made with skim milk
- EMPIRE Made with skim milk
By 1894 Milton Hershey was considered one of Lancaster's most substantial citizens. The 1894 issue of the Lancaster County "Portrait and Biographical Record" printed this description:
"Milton S. Hershey is the president of a caramel company that employs eight hundred hands in Lancaster, a hundred in Mt. Joy, a hundred in Geneva, Illinois and four hundred in the Chicago factory. The original business was started in the city of Lancaster and it has gown to wonderful proportions. The machinery employed is of their own invention and is all covered by patents. Their trademark is 'Crystal A.' These goods are shipped to all parts of the world, including Japan, China, Australia and Europe. The capital stock is $600,000, all paid up, and they do over $1,000,000 worth of business per annum."
The Lancaster Caramel Company was incorporated on February 8, 1894. It was at this time that Hershey Chocolate Company was formally organized as a subsidiary of the Lancaster Caramel Company. Stock was issued to a small group of men as part of the legal requirements of incorporation. Milton Hershey, of course, owned the majority of the stock. Other holders included: William. L. Blair, Edward M. Robinsion, Carl Kleinbeck, of Chicago, and Frank B. Snavely, of Chicago. The Hershey Chocolate Company was listed as a subsidiary of the Caramel Company. When Milton Hershey sold the Lancaster Caramel Company on August 10, 1900 to the American Caramel Company for $1 million, he retained the rights to the Hershey Chocolate Company. | <urn:uuid:b4497d98-f12c-475a-bd36-90f82af1b7e7> | CC-MAIN-2017-13 | http://www.hersheyarchives.org/essay/details.aspx?EssayId=43&Rurl=%2Fresources%2Fsearch-results.aspx%3FType%3DBrowseEssay | 2017-03-24T02:12:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-13/segments/1490218187519.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20170322212947-00281-ip-10-233-31-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.969122 | 1,336 |
No matter how you want to swing it. Since the evolution of Social Media, it takes so much time of our daily life. I believe it fuels our inner narcissistic behavior.
But, what does that means actually?
It just means, everything we do in our daily life, we want ourselves to have some sort of recognition from strangers (or you can say online friends). Now there are several online platforms that fuels this "Need for Recognition" of us every day.
Did you ever asked yourselves, did this exist when you grow up during 80s?
It did not.
Yet, you had friends, parties and you were loved by the people who actually mattered in your life.
One can argue.
And, to be honest, I was one of those "Need for Recognition" people just a few years back. I had 4876 friends on Facebook, still have nearly 5000 followers.
But, what is the point of having them in the first place?
Why do I need to expose personal information where the online people will be quick to judge?
It is proven that when a person is online or social media platforms, they tend to be the judge and jury. This brings in a lot of unnecessary noises from people who do not really matter in your life, in fact they don't pay your rental or your car payment.
But, they are there to judge you on your activities almost all the time.
That, my friend, is destroying your persona as a human being.
Getting out of the Grinder
End of 2015, I have removed 3700 Facebook friends. It's astounding how many of these people does not have actually anything to do with your livelihood.
2nd quarter of 2017 I have stopped updating Facebook.
I did not deactivate or deleted my profile due to technical reasons. I have at least 8 custom FB apps that are connected to various programs (FB App API) in other platforms. For example, logging in via Facebook.
At the beginning of 2019, I have anonymized my Facebook Profile. How did I do that?
- I removed the profile picture and cover photo
- Changed my name to a different language script, it would make it very difficult to look up my name
- Changed permissions to all previous posts, images, and shares to "Me Only"
- Disabled SEO for Google, so my name search does not bring up the profile in Google search results. You can do this from Facebook settings.
- Limit a lot of contacts to "Restricted" permission by default. In this way, they can only be able to see posts that were posted using "Public" permission
As a human being, it is utmost important that a person should meet up their friends and families in person. The interactions are real and it enhances our ability to be a better person every day.
On top of that, try to travel as much as you can. Learn new cultures and interact with real people. There is nothing better than person to person interactions in real life.
You can keep your Facebook profile and interact. But do not make it a priority over real relationships.
Always remember the real life relationships are much more amazing, crazy, appreciative, interactive and of course real.
At the end, your real happiness comes from real life interactions, not from behind a computer screen. Unless, you are doing something that would help others in the long run. Which does not count, when you make comments and likes pics on Facebook.
It took me a while to realize this. And, I think many would realize the same too. | <urn:uuid:5219f34e-a17a-426c-b8c7-55505e699690> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://rabin.blog/how-leave-facebook/ | 2023-09-30T23:13:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510730.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20230930213821-20231001003821-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.970069 | 744 |
Using LM14 XFCE x64. Can you please give me some advices to fix these GUI oddities?
1. Missing titlebar on custom theme
I installed in /usr/share/themes: Ambiance & Radiance For Xfce & LXDE 12.04
When I select this theme, the titlebar is missing:
The titlebar is not simply invisible, it is really missing (unresponsive to double click or drag/drop). Same thing aslo happens for the Greybird theme. Others standards themes that came with XFCE work OK.
2. Disable "Aerosnap" not working
Control Center / Window Manager: Advanced Tab:
- UNCHECK "Snap Window to screen Border"
- UNCHECK "Snap Window to other windows"
Each time, I grad the window up and touch the top border of the screen, the window is maximized in a weird way: take 100% screen width, 50% screen height.
3. Thunar: Drag and Drop a single file often becomes multi-select
I click on a file, hold the click, and drag the file to another place. Instead of the drag action, the cursor extends the selection to other files to become a multi-select. The only way to make Thunar understand that I want to Drag drop a the selected file is to release the mouse button, wait briefly (to avoid Thunar interpret my intention as a double mouse click) and then drag the file to the destination.
Thanks very much in advance for any help. | <urn:uuid:fbd255cc-5780-4de9-bcdb-f4cfb4d76562> | CC-MAIN-2015-22 | http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=90&t=122288&p=687550 | 2015-05-29T22:38:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-22/segments/1432207930443.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20150521113210-00079-ip-10-180-206-219.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.897065 | 323 |

The GED practice test for math has been created to help you pass the Mathematical Reasoning section of the GED exam.
To pass this section, you need to get at least 145 points. The best way to achieve this and get an even higher score is through practice. Take our practice test now and attend our GED online classes to study for the math topics included in the exam.
Want to calculate faster?
You can calculate faster by mastering foundational arithmetic skills and mathematical calculations through practice. These skills include the four basic operations, roots, basic number sense, and exponents. You will find all these types of items in our GED practice test for math.
Tips to Improve GED Math Score
Need to practice your problem-solving skills?
Be prepared to solve various math word problems. Our GED Math practice test includes items that will ask you to do quantitative problem solving as well as algebraic problem-solving. These problem-solving tests are the two main topics of the GED Math exam. The practice test will help you develop critical thinking skills in mathematical context.
Need to review mathematical symbols and formulas?
The focus of the GED Math test is not on memorizing formulas, but on knowing how to apply them. Our GED practice test for math will help you understand how to use math symbols and formulas. Some of our test questions will require you to use formulas and interpret symbols correctly to arrive at the right answer. For example, one of the test items would ask you to find the area of a cardboard. This question needs you to use the right mathematical formula to get the correct answer.
Find it hard to understand charts and graphs?
Our GED math practice test includes test items with graphs, charts, diagrams, and tables. You will be asked to analyze and compare visual data to solve a problem.
Ready to study?
Take our practice test at your own pace. If you want to challenge yourself, we suggest using a timer while answering the test. Give yourself a time limit to answer each question. This will also help you work faster during the exam. Remember, you will only have 115 minutes to finish the actual GED Math test. | <urn:uuid:4260eaf4-f237-4392-9b04-a61f30eea681> | CC-MAIN-2022-27 | https://www.testpreptoolkit.com/practice-test/ged-math-practice-test | 2022-07-01T13:10:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-27/segments/1656103941562.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20220701125452-20220701155452-00757.warc.gz | en | 0.918715 | 449 |
You have to start keeping track of the number of times Amanda Bynes gets in trouble in her car, because otherwise you might think you're reading the same story over and over. But this one is brand new, we promise.
Just days after the actress was charged for two hit-and-runs, she was pulled over, again! The Los Angeles Police even caught the traffic stop on video, according to E! News. She was reportedly driving without her headlights on. For most people, this wouldn't be a huge deal, but for Bynes, it just adds to the list.
Not only is she now answering to her two hit-and-run cases, but the actress will also be in court next week for an April DUI charge where she refused to take a breathalyzer test. Since Bynes has been charged, but not convicted, for the hit-and-runs, it has not been confirmed that she has had her license taken away. But according to E! News, if it hasn't already happened, it is imminent.
"The DMV would not confirm the report and Bynes' lawyer, Richard Hutton, declined to comment on her license status," said E! News. "However, Hutton did tell E! News that Bynes would not appear in court next Wednesday to answer to the DUI charge, which springs from a April 6 incident involving Bynes temporarily parking her BMW into a Sheriff's patrol car."
TMZ said that after the traffic stop last night, Bynes was given a warning and allowed to drive off. But according to law, the refusal to take a breathalyzer during her DUI stop should have resulted in an automatic one-year suspension of her license.
So why was Bynes let go? It's possible her license was reinstated or even that the officer never ran her license (although if that is the case, the officer must have been living under a rock to not know what she's been involved with). Or there could be a number of other reasons for not being cited. Bynes didn't comment on Sunday night's traffic stop.

Well the festive season has passed and it was a welcomed break for your Committee members to have time off.
The last Sub Branch event for the year was the Christmas party and dinner. This was well attended by Members and friends with some 40 plus people coming along.
During the break the Sub Branch was able to undergo some much needed maintenance such as internal painting and a spring clean on all windows and security screens. The Sub Branch looks a picture and is in great shape to present to Members and the community as a whole.
The Sub Branch continues to attract new and transferred members and our member data base is quite solid.
It is pleasing to see that our regular hall hirers are returning for the next twelve months as well as some new ones. The Sub Branch is busy for the full year with committee groups meeting on a regular basis and we don’t have many free days in the calendar.
Over the next twelve months much endeavour will be made to ensure that projects that are works in progress for the Centenary activities planned for 2015 are completed.
I would like to thank you all for your continued support of the Sub Branch and I look forward to meeting you when you attend our social activities, etc.
To the members of the Committee a big thank you for your support and as we look forward to a very busy year your continued support in addressing all the upcoming events will be appreciated. | <urn:uuid:233f0c64-4a77-4cb7-9943-abbbfe2c14c3> | CC-MAIN-2021-04 | https://www.victoriaparkrsl.org.au/stand-easy-17-2/ | 2021-01-19T11:20:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-04/segments/1610703518240.40/warc/CC-MAIN-20210119103923-20210119133923-00750.warc.gz | en | 0.983199 | 282 |

Lionel Messi was away attending the birth of his son but Barcelona still had more than enough to beat 10-man Malaga 2-0 and move 11 points clear at the top of La Liga.
Messi was watching the game on a television in hospital as Luis Suarez and Philippe Coutinho put his team two up inside half an hour at La Rosaleda Stadium on Saturday, before Samuel Garcia was sent off in the 30th minute for a dangerous tackle on Jordi Alba.
Down a man and without a win in 12 matches, Malaga might have feared a rout but Barca settled for a straightforward victory, perhaps with one eye on Wednesday's Champions League last-16 clash against Chelsea.
Messi is expected back at the Camp Nou, where the score is 1-1 from the first leg, but Ernesto Valverde will have been delighted with how his attackers filled the void, as Suarez, Coutinho and Ousmane Dembele all delivered excellent displays.
In particular, Dembele's brilliant turn and pass was bettered only by Coutinho's flicked finish for what was a superb second goal.
The win means Barca extend their advantage over second-placed Atletico Madrid, who can pull the deficit back to eight points with a win over Celta Vigo on Sunday.
Malaga, meanwhile, remain rooted to the bottom of the table. —AFP | <urn:uuid:0bf769ed-35e4-4d35-8a6a-d1921826a06d> | CC-MAIN-2018-39 | http://www.thehawk.in/sports/football/barcelona-stroll-past-malaga-98114 | 2018-09-19T18:54:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-39/segments/1537267156270.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20180919180955-20180919200955-00397.warc.gz | en | 0.965883 | 287 |
It’s no surprise that this was the last time Dr. Walter Martin, author of the well known work The Kingdom of the Cults, was allowed to appear on the Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN).
In this series of clips below, Dr. Martin exposes just how insane modern pseudo-Christianity has become in that it engages in egregious censorship and opts to coast along without confronting heresy even when it is as blatant as TBN-style “little gods” theology.
If you’re unfamiliar with just how wrong the personalities on TBN are, please watch the series “A Call to Discernment.”
Dr. Martin shows that it is necessary to engage in dialogue with every professing Christian, no matter how famous, whenever they slip up and fall into non-Biblical teachings, such as the preachers on television constantly do.
Dr. Martin’s point is one that cannot be ignored. Even if it doesn’t seem “nice” to call out false teachings, we have an obligation to do it. The Apostle Paul had no problem calling out false teachers by name, so why should we?
Why are modern Christians scared of confronting heretical doctrines that minimize the glory of God?
To put it bluntly, we are commanded to expose these minister of unrighteousness. Paul made it very clear in his letter to the Ephesians:
Therefore do not become partners with them; for at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light (for the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true), and try to discern what is pleasing to the Lord. Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.
The Holy Bible: English Standard Version. 2001 (Eph 5:7–11). Wheaton: Standard Bible Society.
The simple fact is that we must confront these doctrines head on in order to make it clear to the people of the world just what Christianity is and what it is not.
(Finally a short clip showing just how heretical these TBN figures are)

“Pain Free” Dentistry
And We Can Prove It!
We talk a lot about “Pain Free” Dentistry at Southport Road Dental. We strive to deliver your dental treatments in a calm, relaxed, stress free, anxiety free, and judgement free environment.
In fact, we measure how effective we are at providing pain free dentistry in a couple of ways. First, we ask each patient to fill in a “Happiness Index” form after each treatment. Second, we record video, written and audio testimonials of our happy patients who overcame their fear of the dentist with our help.
Finally, and this is something that really reinforces our “Pain Free” message. Dental Fear Central is a forum for dental patients and dental phobics’ to share their views on the dentistry they receive. Below is an extract from a forum post that originated with a former nervous patient.
This is what she had to say…
“Fantastic, Caring Dentist In Chorley Lancashire”
I can’t recommend This Dentist enough for nervous patients, I met with David for a free consultation, I was offered a coffee and a friendly chat away from the dentist chair, he asked permission to have a look at my teeth, then talked through everything with me, he was gentle and caring and definitely non judgemental. we talked through all my fears, and worked a plan around them, he lets me feel totally in control.
He specialises in pain free dentistry, I can confirm after two root canals it was pain free and I would have another without any worries. He answers all my emails no matter how trivial my concerns may be.
his details are
David Hickey, Southport Road Dental, 9 Southport Road, Chorley, PR7 1LB
Now Get This, Other People Responded To This Comment And Here Is What They Had To Say…
I visit this dental practice, too. I can thoroughly recommend it for people, like myself, who were terrified of visiting the dentist. David is excellent in his chosen profession and specialises in patients with phobias.
I had not been to the dentist for over a decade after some bad experiences but feel completely different visiting the Southport Rd practice. David takes the time to get to know you and your fears before he even asks if he can take a look in your mouth.
My experience of him examining my teeth (several of which were broken, had missing fillings, discolored and crooked) was the total opposite of what I had previously experienced: there was no painful probing or scraping at all, it was so gentle I felt nothing at all.
I have gone from being unable to talk about my teeth and having palpitations at the thought of visiting the dentist to, this week, on only my third visit to David,having a broken tooth out and not feeling a thing! It’s only through the care and professionalism of the team at Southport Rd that I’ve come this far …
I can really recommend them … Visit their website, there’s lots of info on there (especially about The Wand!) and it gives you a real taste of David’s ethos. There are lots of mentions of ‘pain free’ dentistry … It really is pain free, It’s not a gimmick, it’s a fact.
And Then This To
This may sound a daft question, but is this dentist real?! He sounds amazing and the answers to all my worries, but you know when something sounds too good to be true?
His website is also ‘different’ not corporate as some might be. But when your used to looking at corporate sites, his seems very different.
Thanks in advance for replying, Katie
As Well As…
Bottom line is, he’s fab. An amazing dentist who really empathises with nervous patients and understands your issues.
I went last week for a check-up after having previously had two teeth out … I simply can’t believe I can actually say that “I’ve had two teeth out” as literally four months ago I was so scared I had a panic attack simply talking to David on the phone, I was that scared. He is so patient, understanding, gentle and so unlike any dentist I have ever met before!
His website may be a little ‘quirky’ and is certainly not corporate because he treats his patients as individuals and appreciates their individual needs, not as a ‘one size fits all’ service of some big firms.
A great thing about the practice is that there’s no waiting … he’s always on time, you’re straight in and there’s no time to get edgy and he ALWAYS asks how you’re feeling about being there before he sits you down in a chair and talks to you face to face, not in the chair!!!!
The dental nurses are fab, too, as I was being numbed to have a tooth out, she chatted to me and rubbed my shoulder: it was exactly what I needed to help me relax and feel at ease and comforted.
My issue is with not being numb enough … I put my trust in David and he didn’t let me down. He was patient and made me very, very numb – having a tooth out was pain free. He was so patient and everything was done at my pace.
I know this is a long ramble/reply but I conquered my dental fears with David. So much so I’m choosing to go back and have cosmetic dentistry. My advice would be phone David, talk to him and you’ll know straight away you can trust him!
OK, Nearly Done But…
Quite simply this practice is superb – the level of care and professionalism from all the staff is excellent.
Just for background – I am 52 year old, from Bolton. I had not visited a dentist for 25 years, and I was terrified and I mean terrified of going to a dentist. Nevertheless because I was so ashamed and emabarrassed of how bad my teeth were – and after help from reading this forum – I decided to contact the practice this January.
I was assigned to Rashmi (David’s wife) and have now completed my treatment, which lasted about 3 months of six appointments.
Rashmi has a wonderful, outgoing personality and immediately puts you at ease. On my first appointment she had total empathy and understanding of how nervous I was without being judgemental or patronising on the state of my teeth.
I was given a treatment plan, at a pace I was happy with. The dental nurse (Lindsay) is also superb and I never felt rushed.
Injections are pain free and administered in such a way that you have complete confidence that you are sufficiently numbed. Rashmi also talks to you throughout the treatment , lets you what she is doing and how long it takes. It really is a completely different level of care.
I cannot praise this practice enough. A big thank you to Rashmi and all the staff, from a grateful smiling customer !!
Can This Be True?
The answer is ‘yes’ it is true and yes I am real! You don’t need to take my word for it, just listen to what our happy clients have to say.
If you would like to know more about our “Pain Free” denitstry your are most welcome to come along to the practice or a nearby coffee shop for a completley FREE smile audit. I promise it will be Stress Free, Anxiety Free and Judgement Free.
Just give me a call or pop in your details below.

While wind and solar power are on the rise, ocean energy is a largely untapped resource. A Swedish company is hoping to change this with a kite-mounted turbine that ‘flies’ in submarine currents.
Swedish company Minesto has recently signed an agreement to install their underwater kite technology to provide power to the Faroe Islands – a self-governing Danish territory located in the North Atlantic Ocean between Iceland and Norway.
The technology works on the principle of hydrodynamic lift, with the ocean’s underwater currents providing an upward force on the kite’s wings. As the tethered kite steers in a figure eight, water drives the turbine mounted on its nose to generate electricity.
Minesto will install two of their underwater kites, which have the poetic name of Deep Green, in late 2019 and 2020.
CNBC reported the CEO of SEV – Faroe Islands’ main power generator and supplier – saying tidal energy at the right cost could be an important part of the energy puzzle for the subpolar territory.
“As a remote island society, we don’t have the option of buying electricity from neighbouring countries,” said SEV’s CEO Hakun Djurhuus.
From the air to the sea
The Deep Green tidal kite technology has been under development for more than a decade, since Saab engineer Magnus Landberg thought up the concept while studying long carbon fibre blades for wind turbines.
Landberg was searching for a relatively lightweight solution with high power output, and discovered that a turbine would be smaller, lighter and cheaper if driven by tidal currents, as water is hundreds of times denser than air.
“Then I realised that the cross arm and tower could be even lighter if a high-speed turbine and a generator were attached directly to the blade,” Landberg said on the Minesto website.
Landberg’s invention, originally dubbed Enerkite, was further developed by masters students at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden before being patented by Minesto in 2007.
Minesto has developed two models of its Deep Green tidal kite, which is able to operate in low-velocity (1.2-2.4 m/s) tidal currents. The DG500 has a 12 m wingspan, weighs 10 tonnes, and is rated up to 500 kW. The company is nearing the completion of its first commercial-scale demonstration plant at Holyhead Deep in Wales. After initial testing, Minesto plans to install multiple kites to build a 10 MW demonstration array, which will be expanded to an 80 MW commercial array.
In the Faroe Islands, Minesto will install its smaller DG100 model, which has a wingspan of 4-5 m and supplies up to 100 kW per kite. | <urn:uuid:3bbdfae5-09a1-4017-adab-cf2894428c54> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.createdigital.org.au/underwater-kites-tidal-energy-potential/ | 2019-07-17T06:56:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525094.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717061451-20190717083451-00484.warc.gz | en | 0.950248 | 588 |
A former Homeland Security official is advocating that Congress should direct television broadcasters to return their analog spectrum by early 2008 in order to improve emergency communications.
The call, from Asa Hutchinson, a former undersecretary of the Department of Homeland Security, joined other voices — including Sen. John McCain, (R-AZ) — in calling for an expedited deadline for the turnoff of analog television.
Hutchinson supports the acceleration of freeing parts of the wireless radio spectrum previously allocated for public safety use but not yet available. Moving broadcasters out, moving public safety in, and auctioning the remainder will be highly complex, but could begin earlier than now scheduled, Hutchinson said, referring to a proposed 2009 DTV transition deadline.
He said Congress can and should use the spectrum auctions to fund interoperability of emergency communications. The DTV transition plans anticipate auctioning the rest of the 700MHz band to licensed wireless service providers of both voice and broadband applications.
For technical reasons, Hutchinson said, this section of 700MHz spectrum is unusually valuable. An auction could raise billions, funding both public safety interoperability and the television set-top converter boxes necessary for older TV sets to receive DTV signals after broadcasters vacate the analog spectrum. | <urn:uuid:2dd1704a-944c-47f0-891b-fc2f8bf4f189> | CC-MAIN-2019-13 | https://www.tvtechnology.com/news/another-voice-for-an-earlier-dtv-transition | 2019-03-18T22:04:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-13/segments/1552912201707.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20190318211849-20190318233849-00347.warc.gz | en | 0.928862 | 248 |
Just a dash of sea salt will make your chocolate chip cookies sing, so it makes perfect sense that these incredible pretzel desserts are so popular.
Salt is a magical ingredient that enhances both sweet and savory recipes, cutting away bitterness in a pinch.
Adding pretzels won’t just leave you with a delicious salty-sweet finish, but it will also add some much-needed crunch!
The texture is just as important as the flavor, after all.
Trust me; you’ll be pleasantly surprised at how one simple ingredient can make these 20 recipes unforgettable.
Chocolate and pretzels are one of my favorite food combinations.
The rich, creamy flavors of the chocolate, along with the crunchy, salty deliciousness of the pretzels, just keeps me reaching for more.
Add peanut butter to that, and I’m powerless to say no!
I just love how these look with that light white chocolate and peanut butter coating and dark chocolate stripe.
That said, dipping individual pretzels will take some time and patients.
Instead, try striping them with each of the chocolates.
Use a piping bag and work back and forth until you’re left with a fantastic contrast of colors and texture.
It’s always so funny to me to see these sweet “salad” recipes pop up.
I don’t know why they use the term, but this is the only kind of salad I want from now on.
I like to think of this as a “lush” recipe, which is essentially a sweet layered dessert, kind of like a strawberry and pretzel lasagne.
Since the creamy filling and Jell-O topping are so sweet, this pretzel crust couldn’t be more perfect.
It has a slight bitterness, but that salty taste works so well at balancing it all out.
Feel free to change up the flavors, too. Maybe try mango chunks in pineapple Jell-O?
I’ve never made it out of Panera without one of these babies, and I don’t think I ever will.
They’re soft, chewy, chocolatey, and wonderfully salty all at once.
Kitchen sink cookies are essentially big cookies with lots of fillings.
Although you could use anything from M&Ms and Reese’s Pieces to white chocolate chips and dried fruit, I think this blend of chocolate, toffee, and crunchy pretzels is divine.
If you’re looking for something sweet, salty, crunchy, creamy, and, best of all, no-bake, then this one’s for you!
You’ll start by melting chocolate in the microwave and spreading it out on a lined baking sheet.
I like to keep it relatively thick so that when you add the pretzels, they have something to stick to.
Once the chocolate is covered in pretzels, you’ll pour over the melted caramels, being sure to get all the way to the edges.
Finally, drizzle over extra chocolate, so it’s striped, but you can still see the caramel and pretzels underneath.
These little pretzel bites look terrific, and I often give them out over the holidays in my cookie boxes.
They take around 15 minutes, start to finish, and the most you’ll need to do is line everything up on a baking tray.
Start with the pretzels, which can be touching if need be. I suggest you make plenty because you’ll eat a few before they make it to the bowl!
Top the pretzels with Hershy’s kisses and bake for 5-7 minutes until the chocolate is soft.
Finish by pressing an M&M onto each kiss, nestling it in the softened chocolate.
Between the soft and chewy texture, the caramel and chocolate, and the crunchy pretzels, these are downright addictive.
Seriously, unless you have iron-clad willpower, don’t make these. I ate three before they cooled and almost burned my mouth!
The base for these cookies is as you’d expect, using brown and white sugars to ensure they’re sweet and tender with that irresistible chewy finish.
But the chef’s kiss here is the caramel core.
You’ll form the cookie dough around the caramel so that as it bakes, it infuses into the cookie and melts into an ooey-gooey center.
Reindeer crack is kind of a twist on the classic muddy buddy recipe. Only this version uses pretzels and M&Ms to ensure it’s festive and bright.
Mini-pretzels work best since the Chex Mix is bite-sized. I think it looks better to have everything of a similar size.
Of course, you could always chop up larger pretzels, if that’s all you have.
I’ve even used peanut butter pretzel nuggets before, and they were beyond scrumptious!
Feel free to use milk or dark chocolate, or maybe a mix of dark and white.
Just keep in mind that the pretzels will have a slightly bitter flavor, and white chocolate helps to sweeten things up.
Pineapple pretzel salad is a sunny take on the more classic strawberry pretzel salad. The two are similar, but this has a tropical flavor, which I just love.
Although the pineapple layer is sweet, it’s also a little tangy, which will play off that salty crust just right.
To really boost that tropical flavor, try making the filling with coconut cream instead of whipped cream. And maybe top it off with toasted coconut, too.
These are deliciously similar to the M&M kissed pretzels.
Much like the recipe above, you’ll start by adding pretzels to a baking tray and covering them in candy.
The main difference here is that you’ll use Rolos instead of Hershey’s.
Rolos will give you caramel and chocolate, making this extra indulgent.
Of course, you could use caramel-filled Hershey kisses, though I don’t think they have as much caramel inside.
Feel free to top them with M&Ms if you want that pop of color, but I think the pecans taste so good, adding a nutty, buttery flavor.
This clever recipe is the perfect little treat to put out at your next Easter party.
Though it would be welcome at most gatherings, you can’t deny how effective the nest looks with the mini-eggs on top.
Unlike most of these recipes, you’ll need to buy pretzel sticks for this to achieve the right look.
Just be careful when mixing in the chocolate, as these are more delicate.
Granola bars are an excellent way to get a boost of energy during that mid-morning slump.
They’re the perfect on-the-go snack, and they’re pretty healthy to boot.
Unfortunately, some granola bars are either loaded with artificial sugars and preservatives or cost an arm and a leg.
That’s why I like to make them at home, where I can control the flavors and what goes inside.
Though I usually stick to dried fruits and yogurt chips, these chocolate pretzel bars are calling my name.
The base flavors are honey, brown sugar, peanut butter, vanilla, and cocoa powder.
Plus, you’ll get incredible texture from the chocolate rice cereal, oats, and pretzel pieces.
Saltine cracker toffee is a simple layered bark made using crackers, a simple toffee recipe, and plenty of chocolate on top.
This recipe is super similar; only it uses salty pretzels in place of the crackers for a more pronounced flavor.
Although you will need to make toffee, this recipe is crazy-easy.
Just bring butter and brown sugar to a boil, and let it go, undisturbed for about three minutes.
Instead of needing a candy thermometer and waiting for the right temperature, you’ll just pour the bubbling caramel right over the pretzels.
Then pop it in the oven to finish.
Throw the chocolate over the hot toffee and let it melt. How easy is that?
Even though these are called trail mix cereal bars, implying that they’re relatively healthy, these aren’t the treat to give your kids for breakfast.
Yes, there is cereal inside, including Cheerios and Rice Krispies, but there are also marshmallows, M&Ms, pretzels, and peanut butter.
That being said, these hybrid Rice Krispie treats are a little bit healthier than the OG recipe.
Plain Cheerios are high in fiber and low in sugar, and the recipe also calls for peanuts and raisins. So, I’d say it’s a happy middle ground.
No matter what time of year it is, I always dream of flannel, pumpkin spice, and all those fantastic Halloween treats I can’t wait to make.
Now, I can’t lie and say these are lightning-fast and ready in minutes. In fact, it’s quite the opposite.
These pumpkins are pretty time-consuming to make since you’ll have to dip each pretzel rod individually and then stack them up on a tray.
But isn’t that why people have kids? They’ll love playing with the orange candy melts, and I’m sure you can have a tray ready in no time!
If I were you, I’d bookmark this recipe for later. Once you get a taste of that pretzel crust, you’ll want to use it on everything!
The best part about this has to be that the filling is no-bake.
You’ll just blend cream cheese with lemon juice, lemon zest, and sugar and add it to the pre-baked crust.
Since the filling is no-bake, you can have this on the table in just a few hours.
If you’ve ever made pretzels, you’ll know there are a few steps to the process.
Just like any authentic yeast-based dough, you’ll need to carve out a couple of hours to make this recipe.
Once mixed and smooth, the dough needs an hour to rest and double in size. Then it’s time to shape.
Don’t worry too much about getting it perfect.
They’ll still taste great either way. But this tutorial is super helpful if you want that signature knot.
Finally, these need to be dipped in a mix of water and baking soda before baking. That dip is how pretzels get their chewy consistency.
I’ve talked about my love for sweet dips before, but in case you missed it: I LOVE dessert dips.
Sure, guacamole is delicious, but have you ever tried caramel dip with a cheesecake layer and toffee bits on top? It’s out of this world amazing!
If you liked the idea of the strawberry pretzel salad, but you’re in a rush, this is the next best thing.
You’ll use strawberry pie filling, which will speed things up considerably.
I’ve also tried this with apple, peach, and blueberry pie filling, and I think the latter was my favorite.
Have you ever bitten into your third Reese’s peanut butter cup and thought, “Huh, wouldn’t this be great if it had some crunch?”
This recipe is the ideal blend of creamy peanut butter, crunchy pretzels, and dreamy dark chocolate.
Unlike similar recipes that use pure powdered sugar to achieve the desired texture, this recipe calls for powdered sugar and almond flour.
This makes it a little less sweet and adds some texture, too.
I like my brownies rich, intensely chocolatey, and as fudgy as possible. I want them practically falling apart and oozing chocolate.
I also love some crunch and often add chopped nuts to the batter.
But for those looking to make your brownies nut-free, why not add a layer of salty pretzels instead?
Remember that pretzel crust I told you to bookmark? Here’s where it will come in handy!
I was so bummed when I heard that Snickers discontinued their peanut butter bar. It’s the perfect combination of salty-sweet-chocolatey goodness!
But then they came out with the peanut butter squares, and all was right with the world.
Between the caramel, peanuts, and nougat, these are already pretty impossible to resist.
But when you sandwich that between pretzels, they’re 100% dangerous.

IOWA CITY, Iowa – With Iowa, there always seems to be a lingering question about respect.
Last season, many wondered if the Hawkeyes were good or just lucky.
Iowa finally silenced most of its critics with a 24-14 win over Georgia Tech in the Orange Bowl, capping just the second 11-win season in school history. Many of those victories were closer than expected or just downright ugly, but Iowa finished ranked No. 7 — its highest spot in the final poll since 1960.
With loads of returning talent and a favorable schedule, Iowa looks like it won't need much luck in 2010.
Iowa returns 15 starters, including senior quarterback Ricky Stanzi and senior defensive end Adrian Clayborn. Penn State, Wisconsin, Michigan State and Ohio State all have to visit Kinnick Stadium this fall.
Expectations are understandably sky high in Iowa City, and the Hawkeyes are determined to live up to them.
"We want that. That means something. That means we're doing something right," wide receiver Derrell Johnson-Koulianos said. "Last year we snuck up on people. We (aren't) sneaking up on anybody this year."
Iowa has depth and experience at nearly every position, especially on defense. The only spots with major questions are running back and offensive line, where jobs will be up for grabs in fall camp.
The Hawkeyes have a rather unusual luxury at running back, with three sophomores who've already proven they're Big Ten-caliber talents.
Adam Robinson set a freshman school record with 834 yards rushing in 2009, and Brandon Wegher set Iowa's new rookie mark with eight rushing touchdowns. Jewel Hampton, who in 2008 set the touchdown mark Wegher broke, showed promise spelling star Shonn Greene before a knee injury kept him out last season.
Opening lanes for them will be a line that had to replace three starters, including star tackle Bryan Bulaga. Coach Kirk Ferentz is confident the line will be fine, but Iowa's offense could find itself struggling to score yet again.
For once, the Hawkeyes have a wealth of weapons at the skill positions. Johnson-Koulianos and converted quarterback Marvin McNutt should form a potent 1-2 punch at wide receiver, and Stanzi's credentials as a winner can't be questioned despite throwing 15 interceptions last season.
The main reason everyone's so high on the Hawkeyes, though, is their defense.
Eight starters return from a unit that allowed just 15.4 points a game last season, including all four linemen on what could be the nation's top defensive line. Clayborn is a projected first-round pick who earned MVP honors in the Orange Bowl. End Broderick Binns and tackles Karl Klug and Christian Ballard excel at stuffing the run and flustering quarterbacks.
The Hawkeyes did lose a pair of NFL draft picks at linebacker in Pat Angerer and A.J. Edds, but the coaching staff is confident that junior Tyler Nielsen and senior Jeff Tarpinian can pick up where those two left off. The secondary will be led by strong safety Tyler Sash and free safety Brett Greenwood, who earned All-Big Ten honors last season.
It's easy to forget how much heat Ferentz took during the program's brief dip into mediocrity in 2006-07, but Iowa's upset win over Penn State two years ago kicked off a resurgence. Iowa is 15-2 in its last 17 games, and the Hawkeyes haven't lost a game Stanzi has started and finished in nearly two years.
Ferentz is cautiously optimistic about Iowa's chances this fall, but he also knows better than anyone that the Hawkeyes don't have much room for error.
"You never win a championship, no team does, I don't think, in team sports without great leadership," Ferentz said. "That's first and foremost, and you have to have some great stories along the way." | <urn:uuid:cb7afbbe-f6b4-4e8a-82a0-26197614a593> | CC-MAIN-2015-35 | http://www.foxnews.com/sports/2010/08/11/veterans-stars-favorable-schedule-push-expectations-sky-high-hawkeyes/?cmpid=prn_foxsports | 2015-09-01T06:01:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-35/segments/1440645167576.40/warc/CC-MAIN-20150827031247-00307-ip-10-171-96-226.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.963269 | 816 |

Thanks again for making our stay in your home so enjoyable,
Adriana Diaz & family - Deer Park, New York. 25th January - 1st February, 2009
"Your home was a real 'home away from home'."
"Your home we rented between Christmas and New Years was a real "home away from home." We enjoyed having the Christmas tree, the pool was great and the entire layout. Your home worked for us beautifully. It was a short drive to Disney, shopping and even for urgent care for a minor problem. I would highly recommend this home and would enjoy another stay soon.
Thanks for everything,
Kathy Bakken & family - Denver Colorado & Jensen Beach, Florida. 28th December - 3rd January, 2009
"Thank you for allowing us to use your lovely villa, we had a very enjoyable holiday."
"We would have no hesitation in recomending this villa for your stay in Florida. The villa exceeded our expectations - very spacious and I loved the high ceilings. The carpets were a lovely bonus and made the villa feel very home from home. The beds are comfortable, plenty of towels and it is fully equiped with everything you will possibly need.

Nuclear bunkerPosted: February 3, 2017
Here’s an interesting one: a bathroom inside a Berlin nuclear bunker built during the Cold War.
It can hold 3,600 people for around 2 weeks, which is around how long they thought it’d take for radioactive fallout to settle should there have been an attack on the city. There were 4 bathrooms built within the complex, each consisting of 14 urinals & 16 toilets. There were no toilet doors on the stalls – only curtains – to prevent anyone from locking themselves inside and potentially committing suicide. Neither are there any mirrors in the bathrooms – a further safety measure to prevent the use of glass shards as a weapon. If the city water supply or built-in filtration system was to fail, there was enough water storage for 2.5 litres per person per day.
Thankfully, the bunker has never been used for its intended purpose and it’s currently part of the fascinating Story Of Berlin museum tour. Let’s hope it stays that way. | <urn:uuid:f11c0506-c0c5-424e-b0ce-9d3ff7173e4d> | CC-MAIN-2017-51 | https://toilography.com/2017/02/03/nuclear-bunker/ | 2017-12-14T10:06:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-51/segments/1512948543611.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20171214093947-20171214113947-00657.warc.gz | en | 0.968052 | 209 |

You have to admire how the internet and fandom works together as we have some new speculation out there for Injustice 2 and possible characters outside of DC that could be showing up. Before you get too excited let it be known that this is all started on something a bit flimsy and nothing leaked from NetherRealm Studios. Also as Injustice 2 is still slated for a 2017 release many things can be changed and added to. I'm just presenting this as things are and will provide a little bit of other background as to why the masses are buying into things more than they should be.
All of this started off with Ed Boon posting two Twitter Polls out there asking everyone to vote on their favorite Non-MK and MK guest stars for Injustice 2. The second list here has a few of the fan favorites and last I checked showed that gamers would want to see Sub Zero in action. It would make sense as Scorpion was in Injustice the first time around and had an interesting write in for it. The second list revolved around the Terminator, Hellboy, Buffy, and Spawn. The Terminator was a fan requested and rumored DLC character for MKX while Spawn was a desperately fan requested character and also made a bit of sense to me.
Now to stoke the flames of the rumors and speculation.
I find it quite interesting that we would see all of these show up here for Injustice 2. Specifically Spawn. Especially given the details of a small piece from last year that stoked the flames of the character being in MKX. In an interview back then, the father of the Spawn franchise noted that NetherRealm Studios had an agreement that they could access the character for a game during a window of time. Of course that could be a time less than two years as the below interview took place in 2015 and Injustice 2 won't be coming until 2017 but the option could still be there.
Of course you could look at the part in the beginning where he was asked directly about the character joining the list of playable characters in Injustice 2 and McFarlane directly saying "No." To which I'd offer the flame fanning of "That was back then when it may not have been broached." So again, this could be a rumor and speculation that turns into something and I know I'd personally love to see Spawn join the fight.
Todd McFarlane Says Yes To Spawn's Inclusion In Mortal Kombat X
"That means that they have access to be able to use the character in a couple of their games, if they want to. Again, it's up to their discretion. I gave them a window of time, so I'll just leave it to them to do what it is that they want. Eventually, they'll phone me and they'll go, 'Hey, we want to use him here. Is that okay?' Well, technically, it's okay because we've already said yes. They just are letting us know."
"I don't know if they're ever going to use him. They just might squat on him."
Truth be told though, this is most likely the fun musings of Ed Boon who was notorious for stoking rumors and speculation during the release of MKX and all of the DLC that followed. Why wouldn't he do it for Injustice 2? It would get us all talking and writing about it without the need of actually revealing a single thing. Although, in a few weeks we will have The Game Awards and that would be a great time to show off new fighters for Injustice 2. Not that I'd expect any from the list here to be announced given the time line but we could see more on the DC Comics roster or maybe just new gameplay.
Do you think there is any merit to the latest Injustice 2 rumors and speculation? Do you think that there would be even a slight shred of a chance that Spawn could be included into the game even though the comic worlds are different? If not any of these characters, who would you like to see make it into the ranks here? Let us have all of those thoughts on all of this and then discuss in the comments below. For more on Injustice 2 in any of its forms be sure to stick right here. If it is out there, we will bring it and you won't want to miss out. | <urn:uuid:90917336-6ad7-4929-9830-dc462566f1a8> | CC-MAIN-2017-17 | http://aggrogamer.com/article/5362/It-Could-Be-Time-To-Let-The-Speculation-Fly-On-Injustice-2-Guest-Stars | 2017-04-26T07:54:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-17/segments/1492917121216.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20170423031201-00469-ip-10-145-167-34.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.9851 | 877 |

Add ants to the list of animals that can fly. Worker ants, the wingless kind.
Scientists call it gliding, or directed aerial descent. But just as one might say that flying squirrels fly, so do a type of ants called Cephalotes astratus. They live in rainforest treetops, and their newly discovered ability is a lifesaver.
Stephen Yanoviak of the University of Texas Medical Branch and University of Florida made the discovery by accident about two years ago while collecting mosquitoes for an unrelated project in the rainforest canopy near Iquitos, Peru.
The finding was announced today.
"When I brushed some of the ants off of the tree trunk, I noticed that they did not fall straight to the ground," Yanoviak told LiveScience. "Instead, they made a J-shaped cascade leading back to the tree trunk."
Yanoviak immediately suspected that his observation was something "new and exciting," but figured someone must have scooped him years ago. However, a quick read of past research revealed that his observation was novel.
So paint them
Yanoviak started marking the ants with paint to follow their amazing journeys up and down the trees. He discussed the findings with Michael Kaspari of the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama and the University of Oklahoma. A third colleague, Robert Dudley, with the University of California and also the Smithsonian, was brought in to create high-speed videos of the gliding wonders, among other things.

The team found that the ants downward journey comes in three phases: a two- to three-yard freefall and attempt to slow down, followed by a rapid mid-air turn back toward the tree trunk, and finished off with a steep but directed glide to the tree trunk.
The remarkably adapted ants are the first animals found to consistently glide backwards, other than microbes, some of which spend their entire lives gliding in directions hard to call backwards or forwards.
Yanoviak and his colleagues discovered that the gliding ants are able to return to their home tree trunk 85 percent of the time.
Once they make contact again with the trunk, the ants either cling to it with their sticky toes (called "tarsi" in ants) or fall a few more yards before gaining a foothold, at which point, they begin their march back up the tree, often returning to the exact point from which they dropped and typically within 10 minutes of their initial fall. Experiments one with blinded ants found they rely on their vision to detect the tree trunk and guide their descent.
Smaller ants fell shorter distances. The scientists also found that ants called Pseudomyrmecinae were able to glide, but other arboreal ants they tested could not.
These results are published in the Feb. 10 issue of the journal Nature.
Look mom, no parachute!
The falling ants' first phase is called uncontrolled parachuting because they splay their legs in all directions in an effort to slow their fall by increasing drag. However, parachuting animals technically lack control over their trajectory.
Gliding or directed descent is initiated in phases two and three when the ants turn around and gain control over their flight path.
Their typical falling speed is 8 mph (4.3 meters per second), a fast clip for a creature less than a half-inch (1 centimeter) long. Sometimes, the tiny creatures bounce off the tree trunk the first time they hit it. When that happens, they're able to recover control rapidly and glide right back to the tree, Yanoviak said.
For arboreal animals, the ability to glide or fly or even parachute can be a life or death matter. Ants are frequently buffeted about by the wind or nearby mammals and birds, which can knock them off a branch or leaf to start tumbling down to a risky place -- the forest understory comprised of the shrubs and trees that grow between the rainforest canopy and the ground cover. Moreover, some ants will voluntarily drop off tree trunks when approached by a foreign object.
In any case, the ability to self-rescue comes in handy. The understory and forest floor are full of hazards, not to mention terrain that is tough for tiny navigators, Kaspari said.
"An ant falling to the forest floor enters a dark world of mold and decomposition, of predators and scavengers, where the return trip is through a convoluted jungle of dead, accumulated leaves," Kaspari said. "Gliding is definitely the way to go, and we won't be surprised if we find more examples of this behavior among wingless canopy insects."
Gliding is thought to be an important stage in the evolution of flight, scientists say.
A fall of 30 yards is a huge distance for a canopy ant -- 3,000 times the animal's body length. For a human, this would be equivalent to being tossed 3.5 miles and then having to walk back home (although humans have different biomechanics and energy reserves that ants lack).
Ants often rely on chemical trails to find their way back to the nest. If they land in the understory and cannot find a trail or some other cue to get home, they are lost forever. Like many animals, ants are dependent on the work and contributions of the entire group, so the loss of any individual ant that falls and never returns is costly.
For this reason, evolution has favored traits like sticky toes and the ability for directed aerial descent to prevent the loss of workers, Yanoviak said.
The ants glide backwards because their hindlegs are longer than their forelegs. It is probably easier for them to get a quick grip on the tree with their hindlegs, as if using a fishing gaff or grappling hook, Yanoviak said.
It could also be that the shape of an ant's body only permits directional control in the air when facing backwards. However, Yanoviak said he recently discovered a type of ant called Camponotus that glide to the tree head first. "The story will undoubtedly get more interesting the more we work on it," he said.
Other arboreal creatures that can glide include lizards, frogs and snakes. Still no word on whether pigs can fly. | <urn:uuid:81d51e10-0ff8-4c9b-bfc3-133fb3a85ec8> | CC-MAIN-2023-06 | https://www.livescience.com/140-amazing-ants-fly-fall.html | 2023-02-05T07:01:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-06/segments/1674764500250.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20230205063441-20230205093441-00430.warc.gz | en | 0.966593 | 1,349 |
Babies are able to see as soon as they are born. For the visual system to continue to develop properly, children need clear input from both eyes to the brain. If there is some problem that interferes with vision in either eye or both, the connections from the eye to the brain can become weak or not develop properly. Crossed or turned eyes or imbalance in the way each eye focuses can interfere with this normal development of the visual system.
At Eye Surgeons Associates, your child receives care from a fellowship-trained pediatric ophthalmologist and orthoptists (therapists who are trained to assist the doctor with the evaluation of eye alignment disorders) in specially equipped exam rooms designed for children. Our caring staff possesses the skills and gentle disposition to treat even the youngest patients.
Our practice treats a wide variety of pediatric conditions including retinopathy of prematurity, blocked tear ducts, amblyopia (lazy eye), strabismus (misaligned eyes), hordeolum/chalazion (stye), allergic/vernal conjunctivitis, congenital ptosis (eyelid drooping), congenital cataracts, congenital glaucoma, dermoid cysts, and injuries.
At what age should you schedule an eye exam?
All children should have their vision checked by a pediatrician, family physician, or ophthalmologist by the age of three. Children with a family history of eye problems should be seen between six months and one year old.
While only 4% of children have ocular problems that can diminish vision in one or both eyes, early detection is essential.
How do you examine a baby’s eyes?
It is possible to do an eye exam even before a child can speak. The doctor uses lights to examine the pupils, eyelids and tear ducts. Reflections in the eye and movements of the eye indicate to the doctor if the eyes are working properly.
Small children who can’t read quite yet can point to pictures and shapes during an exam to test for vision problems.
In some special situations, measurements may be taken based on brain wave measurements while the child looks at stripes on flashcards. | <urn:uuid:049bd967-2338-4c01-b876-16ccc9922876> | CC-MAIN-2019-51 | https://www.eyesurgeonspc.com/pediatric-ophthalmology-bettendorf/ | 2019-12-15T05:56:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-51/segments/1575541301598.62/warc/CC-MAIN-20191215042926-20191215070926-00333.warc.gz | en | 0.940253 | 453 |
Since time immemorial, Yelp's Android app has been incredibly ugly. That ends today. The redesign that reached beta testing last month has been released to the general public. It's so much nicer than the old one.
Here's the changelog posted by Yelp.
- Side Navigation: The new side nav menu lets you quickly access Nearby, Search, Add Review/Photo/Check-in, your profile, and more!
- Search: A cleaner search field gives more space to view search suggestions. The Map link is also now in the upper-right on the search results page.
- Notifications: The upper-left menu is badged when you receive notifications & messages.
The new layout is worlds better than the old one. The navigation drawer replaces the strange grid of icons on the main screen, and the search interface is much more usable. It has a very material look, but it doesn't seem to be all the way there. There are few touch effects or animations, for example. Still, this is a good day for anyone who uses Yelp. You can grab the update on APK Mirror in case it's not rolling out to you yet. | <urn:uuid:79770376-6ac8-45bf-a1f0-17b11fecaa80> | CC-MAIN-2019-09 | https://www.androidpolice.com/2015/03/05/yelps-big-v7-0-material-redesign-is-out-of-beta/ | 2019-02-20T00:51:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-09/segments/1550247494125.62/warc/CC-MAIN-20190220003821-20190220025821-00344.warc.gz | en | 0.946053 | 241 |

Carteret Mayor Daniel Reiman recently announced that the borough will receive $7 million in federal funds for its Intermodal Transportation Building, which will serve the to-be-constructed ferry terminal on the waterfront, and for a new $2.5 million Office of Emergency Management building at 315 Pershing Ave.
U.S. Rep. Frank Pallone Jr. (D-6th Dist.) secured $6 million in appropriations for the intermodal transportation building, and U.S. Sens. Bob Menendez and Cory Booker (both D-N.J.) sponsored $1 million in Congressionally Directed Spending for the OEM Building project.
“We are thrilled and extremely grateful to our Congressman Frank Pallone and Sens. Menendez and Booker for the support for these Carteret projects,” Reiman said. “Currently in its final design phase, the Carteret Intermodal Transportation Building will be another spectacular project on a constantly evolving waterfront. The Transportation Building will have a ticket office, restrooms, restaurants, bars, retail shops, office space, a lounge and a banquet center. The project will be among many that will help to transform our once entirely industrial waterfront into a destination.
“The plan for the OEM Building is to retrofit and modernize the old volunteer first aid building, which the borough acquired several years back,” Reiman continued. “Currently, OEM is housed on Roosevelt Avenue in an old 1900s-era firehouse that is beyond repair. Once completed, all OEM operations and our 911 backup will be housed on Upper Pershing Avenue in the modernized OEM building.”
Pallone said he was glad he was able to deliver critical funding to help the Carteret Intermodal Transportation Building move closer to completion.
The project is one of 15 within the 6th Congressional District for which the congressman secured funding as part of the $1.7 trillion Fiscal Year 2023 government funding bill.
“Mayor Reiman and municipal officials are working hard to make the Carteret ferry a reality, and I want to thank them for continuing to make the borough a wonderful place to live and work,” Pallone said. “Once completed, the ferry will allow New Jersey residents and tourists to easily travel between New Jersey and downtown Manhattan. This funding will deliver efficient and reliable transportation options to residents in central New Jersey and will help reduce vehicle congestion. I look forward to seeing President (Joe) Biden sign the underlying legislation into law.”
Carteret recently took major steps forward in constructing its long-planned ferry terminal with the completion of Phase 1 and the beginning of Phase 2 for the game-changing state-of-the-art transportation project.
Phase 1 included the installation last month of approximately 130 linear feet of steel sheet pile bulkhead along the Arthur Kill waterfront that will be home to the future ferry terminal landing.
Phase 2 began in December with dredging the waterside of the bulkhead to achieve sufficient depths for the ferry slips and docking area. At a cost of approximately $2.5 million, this work includes 19,500 cubic feet of dredging and is overseen by the state Department of Transportation Office of Maritime Resources. The borough received full funding for these phases of the project last year from the New Jersey DOT Transportation Capital Trust Fund. | <urn:uuid:cfe2b58b-d847-4c53-99c7-c23cb34e5d08> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://www.roi-nj.com/2023/01/06/real_estate/carteret-scores-7m-in-new-federal-budget-intermodal-transportation-building-and-oem-building-to-receive-support/ | 2023-12-04T12:20:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100529.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20231204115419-20231204145419-00097.warc.gz | en | 0.941248 | 678 |

Just a quick note that if anyone has a child who is looking to go to Colorado State University in Fort Collins, now is the time to start working on finding a suitable home. The housing market here, under about $250,000, is really hot.
I've been out with one group of clients now 8 times, and we've written 6 legitimate (read: not low-ball) offers, and are finally putting one under contract.
With the low interest rates and the $8,000 incentive, now is a fantastic time to buy!

Who is Kermitt Gosnell? He is, for the lack of a better term, he is the most ‘successful’ serial killer in the history of the world.
UPDATE – Reports are popping up all over the net that Obama’s Attorney General Eric Holder and his wife are at least part owners of this mill.
He is responsible for running an abortion mill that was essentially a little shop of horrors. Expectant mothers died, but that is not the half of it. Gosnell was delivering babies alive and killing them after delivery. The toilets were stopped up from flushing baby parts down. The details and pictures are too graphic to be placed here. If you really want the play by play, Gateway Pundit, as well as Life News, have as good a round up as anyone
Aside from Marc Lamont Hill (in the video at the link below) at the Huffington Post, Kirsten Powers has been the only liberal television pundit I am aware of who has had the courage to speak out about it, and of course both worked for Fox News.
Pundit Briana Madsen points out what is obvious to those of us who study the elite media:
This story demonstrates that MSM is not providing the country with factual stories and information, but instead only stories which promote their liberal agendas or are of no importance. We are being lied to by omission. How many 1,000’s of pieces of information have they not shared, stories not aired… and we are a free country (insert sarcasm). I guess they found it too difficult to spin!
The cat is finally out of the bag. A blogger for the liberal Huffington Post has finally admitted that liberal mainstream media outlets made a conscious decision to ignore the Kermit Gosnell abortion-murder trial.
In a HuffPost Live segment today on the issue, host Marc Lamont Hill admitted what many pro-life advocates have been thinking:
“For what it’s worth, I do think that those of us on the left have made a decision not to cover this trial because we worry that it’ll compromise abortion rights. Whether you agree with abortion or not, I do think there’s a direct connection between the media’s failure to cover this and our own political commitments on the left. I think it’s a bad idea, I think it’s dangerous, but I think that’s the way it is.”
The video from the Huffington Post can be seen HERE.
Other liberal media outlets and pro-abortion bloggers have also begun admitting there was a blackout on covering Gosnell. | <urn:uuid:00090f48-3d3f-4148-8bf8-eebc778027b7> | CC-MAIN-2017-13 | https://politicalarena.org/2013/04/16/huffington-post-video-we-in-the-liberal-media-made-a-decision-not-to-cover-the-gosnell-trial/ | 2017-03-25T03:59:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-13/segments/1490218188785.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20170322212948-00057-ip-10-233-31-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.969728 | 541 |

When on the Date
Collect good points by recollecting your dating days. Act naturally, as you did before. Do not sell out on talking too much about your old days and the guy might be expecting more from you to know about you.
Explain it to your Kids
Spend time to explain it to your kids that you are looking someone. Don’t surprise them, but tell them the idea of getting into a partner into the picture of a friend and then bring him into the future family. Spend time with the man exclusively when on a date. Enjoy every moment and make him feel that is just for you. This means don’t call your kid or your babysitter often when you both are spending time together.
Don’t Start Assessing
While dating, remember not to assess whether your date is a future parent. If you give space and time, your partner might enjoy being a part of your family. But if you expect more, he might not find it fulfilling to spend with you. Also, don’t conflict between the time you spend with your kids and with your partner. This means that once you begin dating, you must not neglect or ignore your children or stop doing what you were doing for them always.

If you’re trying to optimize your website for organic search, tracking your keyword rankings is crucial.
Keyword tracking delivers a lot of benefits beyond just helping you monitor your site’s performance in search engines. It helps you identify which SEO techniques work (and which don’t), provides you with more context for diagnosing ranking drops, gives you a competitive advantage, and more.
If you feel like you’re not using your keyword ranking data to its full advantage, check out these seven keyword tracking benefits to find out how to get the most out of rank tracking.
- Identify What Works
- Boost Your Revenue
- Monitor Your Competitors
- Troubleshoot Traffic Drops
- Find CTR Issues
- Identify Volatile Search Results
- Create Easy-to-Understand Reports
1. Keyword Tracking Helps You Identify What Works
One big mistake companies make when optimizing their sites for search is taking what they read online as gospel. They read that the best way to rank is to get more backlinks, to write really long content, or to weave LSI keywords into every blog post.
Then, they spend all of their time doing those things without ever truly knowing if those things work—or if they’re the right things for their websites. The reality is that sometimes a page can rank in the top position even with no backlinks, long content isn’t right for every query, and Google’s John Mueller says that “there’s no such thing as LSI keywords.”
The best approach to SEO is to create your own best practices. Don’t stop reading about what techniques have worked for others—it’s a great way to gather new ideas—but test those techniques on your own site before spending all of your time on tasks that may or may not be moving the needle.
Keyword tracking is one of the best ways to see if your efforts are delivering the results you’re looking for. If you make a change and your rankings increase, that’s probably a change you should continue making. If you make a change and your rankings stay static or decrease, that specific task is probably not something you should continue to spend time doing.
Optimization is about feedback—and getting feedback as quickly as possible. And when optimizing your site for search, keyword rankings are usually one of the first things to change, so it’s a great metric to reference when you’re trying to determine what works.
2. Keyword Tracking Can Help You Boost Your Revenue
If you’re tracking the right metrics, you should know which pages and posts on your site drive the most conversions. After all, while it’s nice to watch your traffic climb to ever-greater heights, increasing amounts of traffic aren’t doing you a lot of good if none of those visitors are buying what you’re selling.
And if you know which pages and posts drive the most conversions, you can use that data in conjunction with keyword rankings to find opportunities to generate even more conversions with your content.
Moving up one spot in organic search results increases click-through rates by 30.8%. So if you look at your keyword tracking data and see that your highest-converting post isn’t ranking in position one, you can focus on getting that result to rank higher in order to drive more traffic to a post you already know converts really well and brings in lots of revenue.
And it works the opposite way, too. If you’re monitoring your organic search rankings with a daily rank-tracking tool like AuthorityLabs, you can see ranking decreases immediately. This gives you actionable data you can use to quickly recover your lost rankings, which could prevent a revenue drop as the result of lower rankings leading to less traffic and fewer conversions.
3. Keyword Tracking Helps You Monitor Your Competitors
One common way to use rank tracking tools is to monitor how your website’s pages are performing in search. Another common way to use them is to monitor how your competitors’ pages are performing in search.
Let’s say your business is an online retailer for eyeglasses. While you’re targeting a long list of keywords, you have a few main keywords you want to rank for because they’re the highest-volume purchase-intent keywords for your brand. Naturally, all of your competitors are also targeting those keywords.
Using a tool like AuthorityLabs, you can track side-by-side how your website and all of your competitors rank for each of those keywords—monitoring ranking increases and decreases for each site—in order to gather valuable insights:
If a specific competitor is starting to gain ground, it’s a sign that you need to look into why that is. Is that competitor publishing more content, implementing a more aggressive link acquisition strategy, or running a successful social media or offline campaign?
Keyword tracking gives you the data you need to trigger an investigation that could help you gain some insights for how to improve your own rankings and better compete with a competitor who’s surging in the search results.
4. Keyword Tracking Helps You Troubleshoot Traffic Drops
You come into work on Friday and start putting together your weekly reports only to discover that your week-over-week traffic dropped by 40%. It’s a huge blow—and one you need to troubleshoot and fix as soon as possible—but where do you even begin looking?
Reviewing your keyword rankings is a great place to start:
- Did your highest-traffic post drop from position number one to page two? If so, that’s likely the cause of your traffic decline. Being able to find that issue easily lets you focus on reoptimizing that page to recover your lost rankings rather than spending days troubleshooting and looking for the cause.
- Did your rankings decrease for multiple keywords and pages overnight? If so, it’s time to start checking for recent algorithm updates. You can also use your rank tracking data to look for similarities in the pages that lost rankings and see if those pages have anything in common that might be getting penalized by a new algorithm update.
- Did your rankings bottom out across the board? If so, you may have been issued a manual penalty, or there may be an issue with your robots.txt file that’s caused all of your pages to be removed from Google’s index.
- Did Google add new SERP features to the results for one or more of your target keywords or remove SERP features you previously appeared in? Keyword tracking tools help you track SERP features beyond just the 10 blue links—like featured snippets and video/image carousels—which can help you determine why your traffic declined.
For the last point, here’s a great example from David Harry of Verve Developments where rank tracking helped establish where losses came from:
“In the pre-losses section, the website in question was in a local pack at the top of the SERP. When we look at the post-losses, we can see that Google completely changed how it was treating that space. Instead of showing local results for the query, it switched to a more branded Audi SERP display.”
“Obviously, this resulted in a fairly significant traffic loss. But without tracking data like this, it would normally be harder to identify what happened.”
5. Keyword Tracking Helps You Find CTR Issues
Knowing exactly where your site’s pages rank for specific keywords can help you identify issues with your click-through rates that may be impacting your traffic.
So if you know that your site ranks in either the featured snippet or position one for a specific keyword, you can compare its click-through rate to those averages to see if your CTRs are at, above, or below average.
Below-average click-through rates suggest that your page’s title or meta description may not be compelling enough to encourage users to click on them. Or in the case of featured snippets, it may suggest that your snippet is answering searchers’ questions fully, so there’s no need for them to click to see more of your result.
Rank tracking in these instances can be useful in establishing what’s working, what isn’t, and where changes need to be made to improve your CTRs and increase your traffic.
6. Keyword Tracking Helps You Identify Volatile Search Results
Often, when I publish a new post, my rankings in AuthorityLabs look like this for a month or so:
Rankings go up and down, up and down. One day the post ranks in position six, the next day it’s not in the top 100, the next it’s in position 18, and so on.
If I wasn’t using a daily rank tracker, the volatility of those rankings could cause me a lot of problems. I might send a client a report showing a page-one ranking only to lose that ranking the very next day, or I might panic when noticing that my page dropped out of the top 100 search results and spend time making optimizations that weren’t needed.
But since I can see the daily ranking trend, I do neither of those things. Instead, I wait for things to level out before I send any reports or make any changes.
Beyond that, being able to see volatility in search rankings can help you target better keywords. If you’re targeting a highly competitive keyword or one without clear search intent, your rankings may fluctuate far more frequently than usual. In that case, it sometimes helps to target a different keyword with less volatile rankings that will send more consistent traffic to your site.
7. Keyword Tracking Reports Are Easy to Understand
So much of SEO is hard to explain to people who aren’t familiar with the field. Every answer seems to start with “it depends”; every question seems to require a full explanation of how search engines work. Keyword rankings, though, are simple for anyone to understand. Up means good; down means bad. There’s no explanation required. It’s simple.
So the final benefit of keyword tracking is that it gives you an easy-to-understand report to send to your boss, company leaders, or clients at the end of each month.

Abstract: Public Geographic Information system (GIS) is a solution that automates the process of collecting community contributions of spatial data, cross-referenced to base maps. It provides the capabilities of analyzing such spatial data giving effective decision support information. On the other hand, the most important implementation models for GIS used recently are Client-Server and Software as a Service (SaaS). This paper focus on giving typical situation as a case study for exploring the advantages of SaaS implementation model over Client server one where public GIS services are implemented first as client server model and secondly when implemented as SaaS. In our new urban City state office, SaaS implementation achieved huge reduction on the total cost of ownership for users of public GIS solution rather than previous GIS Client-Server implementation. High level of cooperative collaboration between departments has been achieved (e.g. survey dept. , land use dept.). Achieved huge reduction on front-up cost required to start using the GIS solution (typically it costs 4.26% of the total front-up cost in case client-server model is used which was 214000USD), and reduction in maintenance /installation hours needed to fix a bug or install new feature across department rather than previous GIS Client Server implementation where the same maintenance /installation hours must be replicated to install new batch containing the fix for new feature. Hence, SaaS implementation model for public GIS overcomes Client Server model in many different aspects and increased the Return On Investment (ROI) value for public GIS solution as it empowers departments in state office to focus in delivering more spatial business’s value rather than being busy with having a dedicated data center to operate and manage separate installation of GIS software in client server model.

Best Student Credit Cards & Tips For Smart Credit Use
Posted By Jim On 03/20/2009 @ 2:09 pm In Credit | 18 Comments
During a recession, the flow of credit tends to tighten up as banks and lenders take fewer “risks.” The result of this is that people who are credit-worthy but have no credit history, such as students, are caught in the middle. Without a credit history, they can’t get credit cards and loans. With credit cards and loans, they can’t establish a credit history.
An old standby practice, piggybacking, was recently eliminated as the new FICO score rules changed how it treated authorized users. In the past, someone with poor or no credit could “piggyback” as an authorized user on an account of someone with good credit. Many parents put their children on their credit card accounts to help them establish credit, the parents were “co-signing” their child’s debts, so it was perfectly acceptable. Unfortunately, people started abusing this and selling “authorized user positions” on their accounts, some for as much as $500 or $1,000 a piece, so FICO had to respond.
Fortunately, credit card companies recognize that students have credit needs and are often supported by their parents, so they’ve created student credit cards that low limits, reasonable rates of interest, and looser credit requirements. Companies like Discover and Citi have always been in the forefront of this and my first credit card was one issued by Citi based solely on my income being defined by my tuition payment.
The most important thing to realize, whether you’re the student or the parent of a student, is that a credit card should not be taken lightly. A lot of students fall into the trap of not recognizing that credit is still money and that you shouldn’t be spending money that you don’t have. I think having a credit card is important, getting one is one of my 40 college money tips , but fiscal responsibility is far more important. One of the great things about student credit cards are that the limits are low but you can still fall very deep into debt. Only spend that which you can repay within the grace period and never carry a balance. If you don’t think you can do that, avoid these things at all costs.
Here are some other tips for smart credit use:

I started out as a flight instructor and charter pilot in 1974. By 1975 I owned and operated flight schools in three cities. I worked hard to make these schools successful. My workweeks were usually 60 hours or longer. One day I sold one of my small aircraft to a flight student. This was a real eye-opener for me. I immediately realized that the profit from that sale was as much as I would have earned from 4 to 5 months of hard work flying. At that point I actively began to pursue aircraft sales as a primary occupation.
Initially I tried to inventory aircraft for sale. I quickly found that this was very time-consuming and exposed me to significant liability. A credit line needed to be established to allow the purchase of aircraft. I had to locate an aircraft, travel to its location to make the purchase, insure it, fly it back, hope that nothing broke, and pay interest until it sold. To make matters worse, even after the plane was sold and delivered, as the dealer I potentially was libel for damages associated with that aircraft for years to come. The cumbersome process associated with maintaining the inventory severely limited the number and size of aircraft I could manage. More importantly, dealer inventorying was not as profitable as the initial sale that had inspired me to enter the aircraft sales business in the first place.
At that point it occurred to me that principles used in the real estate industry may apply to aircraft sales. My experience in real estate several years earlier had been lucrative enough to allow me to purchase most of my flight training in a relatively short period of time. With this in mind I sold all my aircraft and began brokering, which quickly became extremely profitable. For example, my first sale was an aircraft listed at $100, 000. I made an $8, 500.00 commission without having to invest any of my own money. I didn’t have to go to the bank to borrow the money. I didn’t have to insure the aircraft, pay interest or accept product liability on the aircraft after the sale. Within a few months I had a large number of aircraft listed and was able to live comfortably from brokering commissions.See also: | <urn:uuid:2574a02b-96ad-4678-8606-5183490ac62e> | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | http://aiteam.org/LightAircraft/small-aircraft-for-sale-usa | 2018-10-16T02:38:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-43/segments/1539583509960.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20181016010149-20181016031649-00492.warc.gz | en | 0.991103 | 445 |

In the forest outside of Chester's Mill, Maine, Dale "Barbie" Barbera digs a grave. Once he's done, he takes out a man's corpse from the trunk of his car and dumps it into the grave.
As morning dawns, Deputy Linda Esquivel goes to find Sheriff Duke Perkins, who is relaxing in one of the cells at town hall. She tells him that a local drunk called a backfire but she didn't want to panic anyway, so she came to Duke. Duke assures her that she made the right call and they leave together.
Councilman Big Jim Rennie is having breakfast at Rose's diner. He chats with the owner, Rose, and explains that he'll be working at his car lot so that he won't be able to go to the big game and participate in the parade with the rest of the councilman. As he leaves, Big Jim leaves a $100 tip. When Rose objects, assuring him that he already has her vote, Big Jim smiles and says that they're all in it together.
Big Jim's son Junior and his girlfriend Angie McAlister are in Junior's bedroom, making love. Once they're done, Angie dresses and Junior tells her that he loves her. Angie winces and says that it's been a fun summer, but he has a life to go back to. Junior tells her that he's dropping out of college and Angie warns him that he's throwing away his life. Angry, he says that she's the only one who really knows him and that he's always loved her. When Angie tries to leave, Junior grabs her arm and tries to yank her back. Angie yanks free, shocked and angry, and leaves for her job at the diner.
Julia Shumway, the new editor of the Chester's Mill Independent, gets a call from local woman Andrea Grinnell. Andrea says that she's noticed four propane trucks passing by in the last week, and six in the week before that. She figures that it might be terrorism, but when she reported it to Duke, he told her the town was just restocking the reserves. However, Andrea tells Julia that Duke seemed nervous when he got back to her, and he's never nervous. Julia isn't impressed but agrees to do some digging.
Barbie finishes burying the corpse and drives off in his car.
As Duke and Linda head out to check the report, the town's fire trucks pass on their way to the parade. Linda waves to her boyfriend, fireman Rusty Denton.
As Barbie drives out of town, he calls his employer to report that when he tried to make the deal, "Smith" tried to renegotiate, violently, and Barbie took care of him. Duke and Linda approach and Barbie checks his gun, while Duke notices that Barbie's car has no front tags. As they go by, Linda calls in the rear plates while Barbie keeps driving, keeping an eye on the rearview mirror. Just as the police car passes out of side, Barbie is forced to swerve when several cows cross the road. He goes off the road and gets a flat tire, and discovers that his spare is missing.
The ground suddenly starts shaking violently. The church bells go off and everyone in town feels the tremors. Duke clutches at his chest in sudden pain and quickly pulls over.
As Barbie looks around, suddenly a vast invisible wall slams down in the middle of a nearby cow pasture. He stares in surprise and shock as the wall bisects a cow in half, leaving each half to slide down on opposite sides of the wall. Barbie touches the bloody cow and gets an electrical shock, and then looks left and right. The wall extends as far as he see, judging by the path of destruction that it's left as it passed through nearby buildings just like it passed through the cow. Barbie touches the invisible wall and there's a faint electrical discharge, and his bloodstained handprint remains on it. A local teenager, Joe McAlister, runs over and asks Barbie what happened. Barbie doesn't have an answer for him and when Joe touches the wall, he also gets a brief shock.
Duke tells Linda that his pacemaker skipped a beat, but insists that he's fine now. The other deputies call in and report that the town has lost power and outside phone service. Duke and Linda spot a small prop plane passing overhead.
As Barbie and Joe examine the wall, birds start dropping down from the sky, their necks broken because they flew into the wall. The prop plane flies overhead and slams into the wall... and explodes. Barbie gets the shocked teenager out of the way just in time as wreckage slams down around them.
At Big Jim's car lot, Big Jim heads the explosion and drives off to see what's happening.
Barbie and Joe check the wreckage and find the purse of the pilot, a local woman named Mrs. Sanders. Neither of their cell phones work when they try to call, and Barbie spots a fire truck coming from out of town. The sound of the siren doesn't pass through the wall. Realizing the same thing will happen as it did to the plane, Barbie runs over and tries to flag it to down, and it stops just in time. The fire chief runs out and slams into the invisible wall, and Barbie uses a piece of paper to give the chief a message to call the government.
At local radio station WYBS, DJ Phil Bushey is back on the air after his technician, Dodee Weaver, gets the backup generator working. She warns Phil that nobody else is on the air and Phil figures that they can get big ratings.
Duke and Linda arrive at the wall and Joe tells them what happened. Rusty is among the firemen on the other side and tries to call to Linda, but neither one can hear the other. Big Jim arrives while Duke receives word that there have been more car accidents as people slam into the wall. They go over a map of the area to work out the path of the wall and Big Jim tells Duke that he has a contingency plan. Julia pulls up and Big Jim orders her away, saying that it's a crime scene. Duke tells him that they have bigger things to worry about and has Linda requisition the editor's car. As Linda drives off, Julia wonders who Barbie is but he says that he's not her story. Intrigued, she asks him to show her what is the story.

Carolyn worries that Alice hasn't taken her insulin recently and Alice assures her that she'll be fine. Norris is less than thrilled that they're taking her to a camp for juvenile delinquents for the supper, and Carolyn insists that it's a special program, not a prison. As they consider whether to stop for lunch, two police cars drop by and Carolyn decides to move on.
Barbie takes Julia into the forest and points out the wall. As they follow it, they discuss whether it could disappear as suddenly as it arrived, but Barbie is skeptical. He tells the editor that the Army will soon move in and she figures him for ex-military, but he says he hasn't been recently. They come to a house, split down the middle, and find a woman on the lawn bleeding out from a severed hand. She passes out and Barbie and Julia take her back to the car to get her to the local hospital.
As Dodee tries to get an outside signal through the wall, Big Jim bursts in. When they object, he orders them to let him make an emergency broadcast immediately before anyone else dies.
Junior is in his bedroom fiddling with his butterfly knife and listening to the radio. HIs father comes on the air as Junior starts to cut himself on the arm, and announces that everyone has to stop driving.
Carolyn and her family are driving out of town, arguing with Norrie about her recent behavior. Alice turns on the radio and they hear Big Jim's broadcast. As they wonder if it's a prank, Carolyn sees a truck up ahead... and they watch as it slams into the wall at full speed. Carolyn brakes just in time and as they examine the wall, Norrie suddenly has a seizure. Collapsing to the ground, the teenager mumbles about pink stars as her mothers wonder what to do.
Joe returns home and finds his sister Angie there, looking for their parents. They figure that their father is still out on the road and find a note from their mother saying she went to lunch at a Denny's in Westlake--outside the wall. They realize that they're on their own.
Barbie and Julia take the woman to the medical center, and Julia looks for her husband, Dr. Peter Stumway. There's no sign of him and the orderly says that Peter hasn't worked on Sundays in several weeks.
Down the road, Linda examines the wall and sees the reporters gathering outside. They're unable to communicate through the barrier, and move back when the Army arrives wearing hazmat suits and carrying rifles.
Barbie goes behind the medical center for a cigarette and Angie joins him. She's working as a candy striper part-time and chats with Barbie, unaware that Junior is watching her from nearby. As she talks about how they're trapped like fish in a bowl, she notices a cut on Barbie's forehead and strokes it. Junior, watching, seethes with anger and starts to get out of his truck. However, Carolyn and Alice pull up and Angie helps them get their daughter into the medical center. Barbie walks off and Junior watches him go.
That night, Duke checks on the town hall and finds Big Jim there. The councilman tells Duke that all of the other council members were at big game in Westlake, outside of the wall, Big Jim offers to authorize more police officers on his authority as councilman but Duke warns him that they don't need amateurs with guns running around. Letting the matter drop, Big Jim asks what they should say if people start asking about the propane they've been stockpiling. Duke claims that he doesn't know anything about it but Big Jim points out that he's not as stupid as he sometimes pretends. The sheriff angrily insists that he did what he had to so the town wouldn't go broke. Big Jim advises him to calm down before he stresses out his pacemaker. When Duke wonders if it's a threat, Big Jim smiles and says that they're all in it together.
At the radio station, Dodee manages to bounce a series of signals off the wall. Among them are what seem like alien voices, as well as a broadcast from the Army Corp of Engineers discussing how the "wall" is actually a dome, 20,000 feet high.
Barbie goes back to the farm to get his gun from his car. Junior approaches him as if they're old friends and says that Barbie seems familiar. Barbie ignores him and Junior gets increasingly angry. However, when Julia pulls up, Junior backs off and leaves. Barbie asks Julia about her husband and she explains that she's been checking the roadblocks. She hasn't found him and offers to put Barbie up at her house for the night when she realizes he has nowhere to stay.
The teenagers in town are partying at the bridge when Joe arrives. HIs friend Ben Drake follows him down toward the river and Joe explains that he's looking for some kind of generators that is keeping the dome active. As they talk, Joe has a seizure and collapses, muttering "the pink stars are falling in lines."
Angie returns home and Junior ambushes her. He finally knocks her out when she fights back and apologizes, insisting that he didn't want it to go like that.
Most of the adults in town gather at the bar and Duke arrives to brief them. He explains that so far there are twelve dead and some still missing. Carolyn insists that they're under attack and Alice begs them to get help for Norrie. Duke assures them that the government is working on a solution and asks everyone to contact him if they need anything.
Angie wakes up in an underground chamber, and Junior comes in and tells her that there's no use screaming. He explains that his father built a fallout shelter years ago and that she's safe. Angie has no idea what he's talking about and Junior tells her that it's all connected. Horrified, Angie realizes that her boyfriend is insane but Junior insists that he's the only one who knows what's really going on. When she tries to get out, Junior knocks her back and goes out, locking the door behind him. He goes upstairs and locks the outside door, just as Big Jim sees him across the yard. Junior claims that he was checking on the shelter to see if it's usable, but says that it's flooded. The boy offers his help to Big Jim, who awkwardly hugs him.
Julie takes Barbie to her house and turns on the lights, explaining that they have a backup generator. She show Barbie a photo of her husband Peter and Barbie realizes that it's the man he buried in the woods. Julia insists that her husband will come back and that he's not having an affair, and Barbie says that he's looking forward to meeting him.
As Duke and Linda check the dome wall, Linda talks about how she chose to work overtime rather than spend the day at the parade with Rusty. When she wonders why the dome imprisoned them rather than some other town, Duke says that maybe they're being punished. He starts to tell her about some of the things in Chester's Mill that he's kept from her, and casually touches the dome for the first time. The sheriff clutches at his chest and then collapses as his pacemaker explodes in his chest. Linda runs to him and yells for help.
Outside the dome, the Army surrounds the dome by land and air. Reporters are on the air, telling the people of the world that the dome is an unparalleled event in human history. | <urn:uuid:8937c8c9-5eab-44e8-ad10-75db4c94fe5f> | CC-MAIN-2015-40 | http://www.tv.com/shows/under-the-dome/pilot-2657046/recap/ | 2015-10-10T05:55:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-40/segments/1443737940794.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20151001221900-00022-ip-10-137-6-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.983253 | 2,898 |
Gary Webb, a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist who reported on the connection between the CIA and the crack trade in Los Angeles, shot himself a couple weeks back. Those articles he wrote back in 1996 struck some nerves and several notable newspapers worked hard to discredit him and his reporting. They succeeded and his career was destroyed. Since then the bulk of his findings were have been admitted to by the CIA itself, but the LA Times completely failed to mention that in his obituary. Instead they took the opportunity to discredit him further.

GREENVILLE, S.C. (WSPA) – Upstate emergency management services are preparing for possible flooding, as well as downed trees and power lines Thursday as the area is expected to receive several inches of rain.
In Greenville County, extra crews are standing by with generators and chainsaws, according to fire marshal Tristan Johnson.
In Anderson County, officials are keeping an eye on things and will open a debris maintenance line if a lot of trees and branches come down.
“Pay attention to the forecast, have a plan for emergency situation…shelter in place or if strong winds come, identify a shelter within the home away from windows,” said David Baker, who is the director of Emergency Management for the Anderson County Sheriff’s Office. “Sign up for alerts at emd.andersonsheriff.org to sign up for code red here in Anderson.”
Emergency managers are also reminding drivers to steer clear of standing water.
“A lot of times when we’re driving, we see water in the roadway and not really know the depth…12 inches of water, that’s all it takes for your car to become buoyant and float away,” Johnson said.
The City of Greenville will also be posting live traffic updates here. | <urn:uuid:1036933d-d273-4102-8707-7cea00c8c48c> | CC-MAIN-2020-24 | https://www.wspa.com/news/upstate-emergency-managers-preparing-for-rain-event-thursday/ | 2020-06-02T15:51:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-24/segments/1590347425148.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20200602130925-20200602160925-00286.warc.gz | en | 0.942866 | 271 |

Broken face, no one knows why
Crushed ribs, and 2 black eyes
All because he's never been to a show
Stand on the stage, preaching your rage
Letting it all go at every show

Do you even care this scene's been torn down
You pick your clicks, you join your teams
You start the fights, you've fucked this scene

Several education reforms currently underway in California have the potential to result in improved student achievement, but more work is needed to ensure that they achieve their goals, speakers at EdSource’s annual symposium said Thursday.
Nearly 600 education leaders, advocates, teachers and parents attended the event, which EdSource has sponsored in one form or another since its founding in 1977. The theme of this year’s symposium was “Making It Work: Implementing California’s New Vision for School Success.”
The symposium was conducted in partnership with the Learning Policy Institute.
“The real shift that’s going on in California is ultimately not a policy shift,” said David Plank, executive director of the Policy Analysis for California Education organization known as PACE. “What’s really at stake here is a culture shift.”
Plank said the state is “trying to move from a system of compliance (to state and federal regulations) to one of continuous improvement.”
That culture shift he referred to includes transitioning from an accountability system that focused largely on test scores to one looking more broadly at student and school success in multiple areas, including social and emotional learning and school climate.
California’s new accountability system, based on multiple measures rather than mainly on test scores, represents a model for the nation, said Learning Policy Institute President and CEO Linda Darling-Hammond.
Legislative Analyst Mac Taylor said most districts are now finally getting more funds from the state than they did in 2007–08, before the budget crisis inflicted by the Great Recession hit the state. Average funding per student in California at that time was $10,066 in inflation adjusted dollars. In the current school year, it is $10,657, a 6 percent increase.
However, Taylor underscored that the $10,657 figure was the average across the state’s approximately 1000 districts, but that there are significant differences among those districts in how much they receive per student from the state. He noted that the state’s Local Control Funding Formula provides additional funds to districts with high needs students, and that those with few low-income students or English learners would receive far less.
“If you don’t have a lot of low income and English learners, you are not going to experience this kind of rebound,” he said. “It is a different story when you are looking at individual districts and what is happening at the state level in aggregate.”
Ramona Bishop, superintendent of Vallejo City Unified, said her district has a high percentage of low-income students and English learners. As a result, the district has received about $22 million in supplemental funding to better serve those students.
“We have really done a lot of organizing around, ‘What should we do with this gift from the state?’” she said. “We realize that if districts like ours are not successful, it will be a failed experiment.”
She encouraged districts to share what’s working and what’s not with each other.
Sujie Shin, director of research and data assessment for the California Collaborative for Educational Excellence, said her agency was looking at what is working across the state, nation and in other countries. She said it was not looking for a “silver bullet” to tackle California’s educational challenges. She referred to several “local control and continuous improvement” workshops the collaborative will be offering in multiple locations in November to assist a range of stakeholders in implementing the reforms.
Christopher Edley, Jr., co-founder of the Opportunity Institute and professor at the UC Berkeley Law School, said California needs to increase the amount of money it spends on education and to genuinely involve parents and other stakeholders in discussions about school reforms. He also worried about what impact inadequate collection of data will have on implementation of the reforms.
“There’s been virtually no investment in data systems, so we will never know whether the great gamble will succeed,” he said, referring to California’s reform efforts. “We’re not seeing an investment of resources. We’re seeing the repackaging of the status quo in new clothes.”
Jennifer Thomas, president of the San Jose Teachers Association, said teachers need professional development and time to collaborate with other teachers to effectively implement the state’s reforms. She said they have been largely left out of policy and budget discussions.
“The only people less empowered in these processes than parents are teachers,” she said. “There is so little concern about what teachers think.”
Dianna MacDonald, president-elect of the California PTA, said her organization is working to improve parent involvement in school districts’ Local Control Accountability Plans, or LCAPs.
Michael Kirst, president of the State Board of Education, said the state is taking a deliberate approach to reforms.
“The watch words of state leadership have been patience, persistence and humility,” he said. “We’re ready to say we can’t exactly predict what’s going to happen, but we want to not zig zag the policy lines. We want to make these decisions in a way that doesn’t jerk the districts around.”
At the same time, he said the state was willing to make changes based on input it receives from key constituencies.
Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf said her office is partnering with the school district and local businesses to expand the Oakland Promise program. Summit Public Schools CEO Diane Tavenner talked about the role of personalized learning in schools.
The event also included panel discussions about school climate, growth mindsets and social-emotional learning and the future of testing in the state.
Louis Freedberg, executive director of EdSource, concluded the symposium by saying the results of California’s reform efforts may not be seen for several years, but that should not be considered a reason to abandon them. He praised the “incredible talent base we have in California,” including those who spoke at the symposium.
“All of you who are doing this work make me very confident we can make these reforms work,” he said. “But it’s going to take work.”
In addition to the Learning Policy Institute, the symposium was sponsored by the Stuart Foundation, School Services of California, and the Silicon Valley Community Foundation | <urn:uuid:20ea3e4d-ecc9-4adf-ab25-bcc775ef3706> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://edsource.org/2016/edsource-symposium-focuses-on-states-new-vision-for-school-success/570275 | 2019-06-25T23:01:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999948.3/warc/CC-MAIN-20190625213113-20190625235113-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.966932 | 1,349 |
Lauren Smith is the creator of these gorgeous makeup looks, ranging from fresh-faced beauty to the darker, more dramatic ones.
Lauren is a Seattle-based, self-taught makeup artist who started off in other areas of art, like poetry and sketching. She also loves surrealism (which is so Miroir!). She has a passion for colours and that surely translates in her beautiful work seen here.
Lauren mentioned a “secluded and depressed youth”, and “colour was something I lacked when I was younger”, which I think a lot of creative artists can relate, at least for myself and a few other artists I know. Fortunately there are always lovely, supportive people. In Lauren’s case, her husband and father. In our chat I asked Lauren where she gets her inspiration from, and of course it’s from details and colours in surrealism paintings that she loves. Also from real life: movies, games, ideas explained in books or other makeup artists’ work. Travels are inspiring too! The people, the cultures and adventures of different places also add to the artist. Art inspires art.
In the future Lauren would like to be in film, and I can imagine her succeeding in fantasy makeup, the kind of looks in movies like ‘THE HUNGER GAMES’. It will be a big commitment because being in film means relocating to California. I do believe Lauren will get there absolutely because from our chat, she is determined, motivated, and confident. In a field so competitive she has all the right qualities, and we wish Lauren all the best in her future endeavors! ~ written by MIROIR Magazine contributing editor Heidi Cheung.

Girlfriend of 1D’s Louis Tomlinson Attacked At Airport
Eleanor Calder, the newly reunited girlfriend of One Direction singer Louis Tomlinson, was viciously attacked upon arriving at LAX airport by a gang of girls while he confronted a harassing paparazzo. You can watch the video unfold below, showing first how a rude photographer blocked the path of and practically attacked Eleanor as she quietly tried to use the bathroom.
You can see Eleanor’s head covered with a hood and face down so as not to attract attention, but she is dogged by this man nonetheless. Louis rushed to move the paparazzi so Eleanor could pass unmolested, and as she walked to safety she was accosted off camera by a mob of girls who began hitting and attacking her, forcing her into a corner in a savage assault.
Finally, as Louis realizes his girlfriend is being attacked and not one bystander is helping, though many are filming on their phones and enjoying the fight as if it were a show instead of a violent beating on an innocent young woman. Louis tries to rush to save Eleanor, but is tripped by the paparazzo who sees the fight too and is greedily rushing to get footage of it, no longer caring about trying to harass Louis.
At last, Louis gains his footing, grabs one of the attackers around the waist and has to literally pull her swinging off of his girlfriend. Eleanor is able to run to safety, as finally airport security arrives and holds back the other girls attacking her.
Legal representatives for Louis Tomlinson gave the version of events that appears on the film: “The paparazzi provoked and caused the altercation that occurred with Louis at the airport this morning.” They made sure to point out, “This is not the first or last time that a paparazzi has created an altercation with a celebrity.”
“While the altercation was going on with the paparazzi, three other individuals were attacking his girlfriend during this incident and he came to her defense, causing airport security to intervene.” No word yet on whether Eleanor will be filing charges against her psychotic attackers, a horrifying example of fans driven to near insanity by their delusional obsession into boy bands like One Direction and their singers.
Both Louis and the paparazzo photographer were arrested, however Louis was released a short while later. The gang of girls who attacked Eleanor, however, not only were released without repercussion but took to social media to falsely garner sympathy for their supposed injuries. The only possibility of injury came when Louis rescued Eleanor, who was covering her face and body backed into a corner by a mob fronted by three girls scratching, hitting, pulling, and punching her.
Social media has exploded in favor of Louis and Eleanor, with fans of 1D taking on a rabid hunt for the girls who attacked the couple and then tried to play the victim. In one tabloid interview, the girls can be heard laughing over the incident, glibly stating how they intend to sue the singer and preserve their 15 minutes of fame. In fact, such violent aggressors belong in jail, as this type of behavior can be an indicator of later criminal or psychopathic activity.
The incident comes just as the world has learned that Louis and Eleanor rekindled their romantic relationship following the tragic death of his mother, Johannah Poulston, aged just 43, in December last year. Eleanor had been Louis’ girlfriend for four years before they ended their relationship in 2015.
Not long after Eleanor Calder and Louis broke up, he and American stylist friend Briana Jungworth announced they were having a baby together- but not romantically dating. Louis then began a relationship with actress Danielle Campbell who he has only recently separated from.
Louis and Eleanor made their relationship official again last week when they re-followed each other on Instagram. The young rekindled couple then went on to enjoy a vacation in Jamaica together, a trip first revealed by Louis’ younger sister Phoebe. A fan on Instagram also confirmed that she had bumped into Tomlinson with his “girlfriend” during the break, causing One Direction fans a tizzy of excitement.

View Full Version : I've Never Gotten This Angry Before...
I played in a local tournament earlier tonight, I did ok, took 3rd/4th and made $40. My first match I drew a regular player whom I have gambled with before, and have won each time. In tournaments we have beaten each other equally. So tonight the match starts off with me getting some horrible rolls. I didn't get an open shot until the 3rd game, and he missed two or three times each of those racks. Twice I made some good 3 or 4 rail kicks, hit the ball, and the cueball found it's way to a hole. Normally I just take it in stride, but tonight frustration welled up in me. At one point he had me down 4-1 in a race to 7, and I catch a gear and win 4 in a row. Now, on each of the games I won, I was having trouble with the rack. The 1-ball would not freeze to the second balls, even if I pressed on it. I turned the rack upside down, tried different sides, and I even switched racks, but got the same result. This took about 3 minutes, and finally my opponent got up, very angry, and told me that he would rack the balls (the format is rack your own) for me. So he racks them, and the 1 ball is almost a centimeter away from the second ball, and frozen to another one. I point this out, and the throws his hands up in the air and says "Just break the balls!".
I just stared at him for a second, shrugged, and broke the balls as hard as I could. I think about two balls hit the rail, the balls barely separated. I looked at him and said "see what I mean?"
He let me rerack, and I finally got a decent rack. Keep in mind that I was still in stroke at this time, so I break and run down to the 8-ball, in perfect line to get out. My opponent unscrews his cue, and throws a fit. He accused me of slow playing, saying that I got him out of stroke, etc.
In this tournament, if you lose, you have to pay the table time. He was angry because he had to pay $14 in table time, even though the rate was $14 per hour.
When I shoot, I usually take about 20 seconds per shot. I'll survey the table, take 3 or 4 practice strokes, and I execute. The only thing that was making the match take so long was the problem with racking. This guy was taking longer than me to shoot, even from when the match started. So he was yelling at me in front of everyone, and I got angry and yelled back that I didn't get him out of stroke, because when I won 5 in a row he didn't get many opportunities to get back in the match.
I was so angry that it carried over into my next match, and I started out down again, this time me being stuck 4-0, and was able to win 7-5.
In my final match, I was pretty cool, and this match started the same as all of my other matches, me getting bad rolls early on and being stuck heavily. It was 5-1 with me breaking after winning my first game, and I made the 9. The cueball rolled slowly towards the end of the table, kissed off a ball and hung in the corner pocket. A ball that was travelling around the table barely nudged the cueball and it fell, and my opponent ran out. Now my anger and frustration came back, and I could barely conceal it as my opponent ran out. I won 3 more games before I was done, but this consisted of me slamming a chair against a wall after the bumper of my cue hit it when I was shooting a shot off the rail (the chair was right behind me and my cue hit it during my practice stroke). I literally got so angry I wanted to throw the chair across the room, but I just shoved it out of my way and it hit against the wall.
I don't know what got into me, I never get like this when I play pool, I am usually very calm and relaxed and when I make a stupid mistake I just shrug it off. Tonight I felt like breaking my cue. Now I feel bad for acting that way, although at the time I was so steamed I didn't care. Do any of you ever get like this?
01-25-2005, 05:48 AM
Don't think your alone in this. I'll say one thing. It's not going to be a good bight everytime nor do they repeat themselves unless something other than pool is on your mind. You should have tried to keep the first set corrected in your mind and move on. Esier said then done, I know. It can ruin you the next match as even one shot can or one loss.
What's ironic is that sometimes this can happen when your winning. You have to think of what went on the entire day before the match was played. Maybe, from getting out of bed. How many sleep hrs you had and even down to the smallest things.
It might help in understanding what led up to the behavior. I'm no dr nor do I claim to be the mental guru. #### Leonard and Voodoo are my 2. My wife is good for this too as she understands me more than I do myself sometimes. Funny, I'll sometimes ask her what's going on with me. Sure enough, she'll know.
I suggest you let it go and count it as a bad day. Like, wish yoyu never got up and slept the entire day before. When I was young I used to do just that. Get up, and just laid in bed the entire day.
Well, it's off your chest andf your ready to move on. Don't sweat what the other player accused you of. He was probably right but for the wrong reasons is all. Oh, not to bust your bubble. This will happen again only, the next time you'll know how to handle it a bit more maturly. Please forgive me as I mean't no disrespect. I'm 50 yrs old and I still act immature at times. Like a second childhood. LOL

I think I would have called it a night if I got as angry as you described. I know you'd be giving up your chance to win the tournament, but you probably wouldn't be playing your normal game if you were that upset. To me pool is my hobby and if I get upset and stop having a good time i'd rather come back another day when i'm in a better frame of mind.
01-25-2005, 08:32 AM
I've only played one tournament in my life where you were put on the clock while playing. That was back in Memphis at High Pockets. In Dallas, I've never seen the practice used for weekly tournaments (and hope I never do).
For larger events, a greens fee is common, but events of the size you are describing are usually held with free tables unless they're coin-op.

Last night Deewoman and I played in a scotch doubles tournament. This is usually not a good idea!
Anyway, she played great! We were playing a guy who had a sweet young partner that played about three balls better than him. He had aquired a $57.00 Minnesota Fats cue with butt that flashed and blinked when he stroked and tapped the floor with the cue. Cheesey, I know but par for his game.
We broke and missed, they had a good chance to run out but, unfortunatley, he had to shoot every other shot. We come to the table and, surprise of all surprises, Deewoman listens to Deeman (for once), hits 'em all good and we run out. No big deal but...
Thirty seconds later, a shaft flies over the room and strikes me on the wrist on my Rado (I love my Rado). No harm except it could have "put someone's eye out" (my Mom's refrain). I picked up the shaft and met the guy half way across the room and, maybe , just maybe he decided 6'2" and 260 against 5'9" and 170 wet was not good odds. I yelled (I seldom yell, out of bed), "You want this broken, back in your hands or in your A**? His muted reply, "I didn't throw it becuase I was mad at you. I was mad because I broke my stick, Sir."
Deeman, "Why did you break your stick? You missed the
Minnesota Fats Player, "I was mad 'cause I slamed my cue down and it broke. I'm sorry!"
Then, other patrons noticed the slime that had once been contained in the butt of this wonder stick had slung all over the room and looked like something out of a John Water's movie close up on people's clothing, sticks and cases.
Now his lady freind, really attractive and a total loss on this frog, starts to cry, some embarrassment but mostly 'cause Tuna Head had "lost" his priceless ($57???) artifact. He had apparently assumed, and convinced her, that Rudolph Wanderone 3 had somehow had some connection with this cue! Maybe he thought Fats had made cues, but even my Dog would understand, if he did, they just might go for more than a subscription to Reader's Digest.
Anyway, what might have been a dull, fun and uneventful evening turned to sorror and shame as the guy mopped the "juice" from various and sundry cues, cases and lady's apparel.
I guess it was just too humorous to make me stay mad or maybe I'm just getting tolerant to bar players.
avoided the "Special Sauce" at least....

So, my question is, what stopped Deeman from using the wayward projectile on the offending perp in a manner similar to a proctologist performing an annual exam? Your restraint is admirable.

The only logical reason is that you ran out of cowbell.

But, at High Pockets, if you got to the final 4, you got your table time FREE. That was my GOAL when I played there.
Best little (50+players) $5 single elimination tournament I had ever played in, until I played at Airways Billiards in Dayton OH. Great place, great tables, Great Food.
To stay on Topic,
The 70s and part of the 80s.... if I missed or got too many bad rolls, it was cue stick breaking time.... paid my share of house cue costs back then.. bad temper...bad player... I've changed now... just a bad player.. /ccboard/images/graemlins/grin.gif

They must have had it in for me, then. I finished second and had to pay time. That was around 1992. I should have won that night, but the guy switched strings with me. My friends later told me that he posted his bead to my string when I was one up. That made him two up instead of even, ie he stole two games. I'd never used bead strings before, and I wasn't really watching it.

good thing he didn't have goldfish in there (like the platform shoes from the 70's), they would not have survived.

A guy here has one of those "floating / flashing / illuminated / 8/9 ball cues incased in slime.
He said it only cost $29.00 at Sports Authority. He was showing it around and someone dropped it. /ccboard/images/graemlins/frown.gif (I think it survived)
This guy looks just like Earnest from the "hey Vern" commercials (cap and all) /ccboard/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I don't have any profound advice other then to say, you seem to recognize what happened and I am sure you will do your best to not let that kind of thing happen again. Try to mend fences if you think you may have offended anyone and just move on, it doesn't sound like anything really bad happened.

I had the great pleasure of playing at High Pockets off and on for fifteen or more years and never was charged table time! James Strictland was a super guy and had once told me if I won a tournament there (he had a side bet on it) I'd never pay again. I had not taken it as forever...You can imagine my disappointment when I moved back to the states and he was no longer the owner. I also have to say he never charged my step father (Hank Thompson, of Blythville)when he was with me as he had enjoyed watching him play so much over the years.
Is Highpockets not one of the best designed pool halls in the world? Elevated viewing with seating for railbirds, notches along the trim so no cue dudes are needed, plenty of table room, good food, and even better next door (RIBS), nice cue lockers, clean restrooms, two separate action rooms with tight than tight pockets and old farts hanging around to see who we would play. I'm getting moist.....
Better nip this in the bud real quick. What ever you do don't let this sort of thing creep into your game. Yes you got some bad rolls and it was frustrating. $hit happens, let it go, we've all had bad days. If you think you owe someone an apology, do so.
That part of balls not freezing is a sore spot with me as well. It usually goes back to worn out balls, cloth, foot spot, etc. Not much you can do other than turn the balls in the rack and hope. LOL It's a pain and frustrating. I usually show my appreciation by telling the owner or not frequenting the place.
