The International Corrections and Prisons Association is pleased to announce the second issue of the journal “Advancing Corrections”.
This issue includes 15 original papers with authors from Canada, America, the UK, the Netherlands, Australia and Africa. The response to the last Call for Papers was overwhelming and with the support of our international Editorial Board, we could choose ‘la crème de la crème’ for our readers. The mix of authors we have been able to attract is also encouragingly representative of the community of corrections professionals we want to engage – academics and/or researchers, consultants, senior corrections officials, including a few heads of service, front-line practitioners, public and private sector – all with something interesting to say, perhaps said a bit differently in each case, but said with honesty, thoughtfulness and some scholarly substance. We hope you enjoy this second issue of Advancing Corrections and we welcome your feedback.
Advancing Corrections Journal is available to ICPA Members. If you are not yet a member of our Association you can register today!
Advancing Corrections Journal Edition #3 – Call for Papers Closes on 30 January 2017!
We would like each issue of Advancing Corrections to focus on a particular theme. For the third issue, we would especially welcome manuscripts that describe innovative and integrated approaches for service-delivery to offenders — programming and/or interventions that are either (or both) prison and community-based, and that have either some qualitative or quantitative evaluation data to support them. We tend to think in corrections that evidence–informed means more of the same, whereas innovative means not evidence-informed. We want to profile that there is also design and development in corrections that is both evidence-informed and innovative. Of special interest would be hearing about ‘implementation stories’, documentation of the steps taken to ensure successful implementation of well integrated correctional interventions.
Call for Papers and Guidelines for Authors for the Journal:
For the next issue of Advancing Corrections we ask that you submit your paper electronically by 30 January 2017 to Aleksandar Petrov at the ICPA Head Office (firstname.lastname@example.org), with a copy to Dr. Frank Porporino, Chair of the ICPA Research and Development Expert Group and Editor of the Journal (email@example.com). | <urn:uuid:af6cb359-c8bd-4f42-936b-d0d78e62da88> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://icpa.org/second-edition-of-advancing-corrections-journal/ | 2021-03-07T17:52:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178378043.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20210307170119-20210307200119-00618.warc.gz | en | 0.935754 | 498 |
Our Thanks, Our Impact, and a Request
Since 2006, Building Markets has worked with 25,000 small businesses in crisis-affected parts of the world, and helped them create over 70,000 full-time equivalent jobs. Those jobs alleviate poverty, boost individual dignity, reduce dependence on aid, and help sustain peace. You can learn more about our results and how we achieve them by clicking here.
Our work would not be possible without support from individuals, governments, and foundations who understand and rely on our effectiveness in creating employment and economic growth. This year our goal is to raise $100,000 in unrestricted funding so that we can continue this important and impactful work (and we are on our way so thank you so much to all those who have generously contributed to date!!!). For those interested in including us in their end of year giving, please visit our online donation page here.
How effective have we been? Here are some highlights from the past decade:
Jordan. In 2018, we shined a light on Jordanian and migrant-led firms. This included creating a network of 331 companies, releasing a market assessment, and identifying investment and growth opportunities.
Turkey. In 2016, we launched a program where for the first time we set out to understand the contributions of refugee entrepreneurs. We revealed that since the Syrian war began, they had started more than 6,000 formal companies, brought over $300 million in capital to the market, and were employing, on average, 9 people. Today, our network includes over 1,200 Syrian and Turkish firms and we just facilitated our first investment.
Mozambique. In 2013, we focused our attention on a key barrier preventing small business from growing – access to capital. By 2016, our team had helped Mozambican entrepreneurs access $12 million in loans.
Myanmar. In 2012, we entered Myanmar with ambitious goals. By 2019, our Myanmar colleagues had assisted 3,198 local businesses across a range of sectors and helped them win $19 million in new contracts. Read our new report on SMEs operating in the recycling sector.
Afghanistan. In 2012, we concluded a six-year program in Afghanistan where we supported over 8,302 remarkable Afghan-led businesses. Through our services, more than USD $1 billion was directed into the Afghan economy, including women-owned businesses, creating 65,000 full-time equivalent jobs.
Timor-Leste. In 2011, we celebrated an indefatigable group of entrepreneurs from Timor-Leste. Together, through advocacy and matchmaking services, our network of local companies won 13,000 contracts.
Haiti. In 2010, following the devastating earthquake that took over 250,000 lives, our team identified 3,966 extraordinary Haitian-led companies who could respond to the crisis through the supply of local goods and services. By 2013, $28 million in contracts were won, creating much needed jobs, and growth.
Private sector jobs are gamechangers, especially in crisis-affected parts of the world. And small businesses create them. With your continued help, we can scale our reach and programs, ensuring 2020 is brighter and better here at home and overseas. Thank you in advance for your support, and warm wishes this holiday season. | <urn:uuid:48208eee-55c5-4126-b86c-95f73d3662d3> | CC-MAIN-2020-45 | https://buildingmarkets.org/blogs/blog/2019/12/18/our-thanks-our-work-over-the-past-decade-and-a-request/ | 2020-10-22T23:10:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-45/segments/1603107880401.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20201022225046-20201023015046-00487.warc.gz | en | 0.95576 | 666 |
This package held a compilation of pictures I'd taken years ago- so long ago that the little first grade subjects in the pictures are about to take their 5th grade state tests and then leave us for middle school. I ripped open the large envelope before even putting my bag down and stood in my doorway flipping through the happy pictures of my kiddos investigating seeds, baking cupcakes, taking part in centers, reading books to stuffed animals, and playing at recess. They were an incredible class.
We'd named ourselves The Bloomers that year, after totally bonding with Leo, The Late Bloomer. If you are not familiar with Leo I highly recommend you find your way to the nearest children's library and meet Leo who can't do anything right when compared to his friends. His father worries about him, but his mother keeps reminding his dad that "a watched bloomer doesn't bloom". And then, at the end of the book, in his own good time, Leo blooms.
It's one of my favorite children's books of all times. And the perfect comparison for our class. That year I had a large percentage of children with special needs, along with a large percentage of children who'd been retained in kindergarten or were in their 2nd year of first grade. It was an old bunch- and although we weren't academically advanced we were quick on our street sense. This was the year I had two children from the middle east- one from Pakistan but who'd also lived in Iraq, and one from Iran. They frequently got into heated debates over whose country had nuclear weapons.... always a fun way to start morning meeting.
The class, with its quirky personalities, quickly bonded and truly took on the name The Bloomers. The whole year become dedicated to blooming as a team. It was an amazing classroom community.
So much of a community that they kept having difficulties on the playground. Not with each other, but with the 4th graders who shared the playground with us. There were some 4th graders that year in the special education program who seemed to seek out my first graders at recess. It may have been to pick on them, but most likely it was because they felt more comfortable with smaller children. However, my children were so street smart and weary that they'd quickly defend one another from any "attack" they believed to be happening against a fellow Bloomer. One day a gang of my first graders managed to de-shoe one of these 4th graders (not one with special needs) and throw the shoe over the large fence around our playground- right into poison ivy. There was frequent ball-stealing, (some of this was because I had kids with wicked soccer skills and the 4th graders would get upset when my 6 year olds stole the soccer ball from them fair and square). Once it even escalated to rock throwing. My six year olds, throwing rocks at the big kids. Oh yes, I was so proud.
None of this was ok. Sure the 4th graders were starting it, but my kids were not just defending themselves. They were retaliating like a small gang. They'd taken the idea of community a bit too far.
After weeks of long lectures from me and the principal, class conferences where we discussed positive problem solving behaviors, lost privileges, a class book called "we don't want bullies on our playground", and some agonizing time with heads down on tables, I realized nothing was working. The behavior wasn't changing. So, after a chat with the guidance counselor, one day I decided to skip math after recess. Instead we held a class meeting and wrote a letter to the 4th graders about what was happening. I can't remember the exact wording (I so wish I'd taken a picture) but I think it covered the fact that we knew we weren't making good choices at recess, but we needed them to help us because we were smaller than them. I think we gave specific examples of what we could do to share the soccer ball, and how we'd promise to not hit or kick them, if they made sure they would not hit or kick us.
The discussion about the letter within my classroom was amazing. For the first time my kids really took responsibility for a problem that I thought we'd already covered in every way possible. The difference was- this time, instead of me lecturing them, I was including them on solving the problem. We were also acknowledging that they were not the only ones at fault- which allowed them to see it was a problem to be fixed instead of something they were getting in trouble for. Instead of being lectured they were able to examine the situation with new eyes.
Then, we made an appointment with the fourth grade teachers to come read our letter to them. We quietly made our walk over there, and I tried not to make this feel like a reward- they were, after all, still in trouble for fighting. I planned to have my class just read the letter and then leave. But one of my students had a different idea.
After we stood in front of the 4th grade class and read our heart-felt letter, one of my little girls loudly said, "Yeah!" and cleared her throat. All 4th grade eyes turned and stared at her.
"You need to think" she said, projecting her small voice to the back of the room, her chest puffing out like a bird, "when you look in the mirror in the morning, you need to say to yourself, 'Who do I want to be today? Do I want to be somebody who bullies little kids? No! Do I want to be that person? You need to wake up and realize what you can do. This is your life, and you have to make these choices. You. Only you can decide who you are."
We were silent. This little one had some of the weakest English skills among our friends, yet somehow, today she found the words- all the words- for this lecture. She even whipped out her finger and shook it at the 4th graders.
"We're just little kids" she continued, "And you're so big. You don't even know how big you are. You need to decide how you'll be"
It was the most inspirational speech I'd heard in a long time. I immediately wanted to be a better person myself.
I have no idea where her speech came from. She'd always shown a flair for the dramatic in the classroom, but this was something new.
I can't say we never had recess problems again, but they significantly lessened after our peace-conference with the older kids. Both parties- my class and the 4th graders- were now working together to prevent recess scuffles. We were finally on the same page.
Four years later now The Bloomers are the big kids- the ones who have to share their playground with the younger students. They are patrols, helping first graders get to class, and proudly walking through our hallways as though they own the school.
Luckily I have photographic evidence of how small they use to be, and plan to share it with them at graduation, just so they can appreciate exactly how far they've come. | <urn:uuid:0f165f84-3a90-44f4-b67d-262a78bdeb77> | CC-MAIN-2015-14 | http://www.welcometoorganizedchaos.com/2010/05/bloomers.html | 2015-03-27T01:53:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-14/segments/1427131293580.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20150323172133-00258-ip-10-168-14-71.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.989471 | 1,485 |
Happy new year, everyone. Good riddance 2015, one of the worst years the United States men's national team has seen in quite some time. There's no need in recapping what happened. It was a steaming pile of mediocrity that bordered on embarrassing. It's over and done with now, a new year means new beginnings.
The USMNT get back to the grind in about a week and a half when the January camp commences on the 10th, with friendlies taking place against Iceland (Jan. 31) and Canada (Feb. 5).
To get ready for a new year, how about some fun predictions on what will transpire during this very important year for the men's program? All of these predictions are purely opinion-based and speculation.
The U-23's will qualify for Rio 2016 and perform surprisingly well
It's been an extremely frustrating cycle for the U.S. U-23 team. An uninspiring player pool mixed with even worse on-field results hasn't filled anyone with much confidence over the last few years. Even if the collective group isn't exactly impressive, there are some bright spots. Jordan Morris had a breakout year in 2015. While continuing to be a mainstay on the U-23 side, he received his first senior national team cap and scored his first goal. He also led the Stanford Cardinal to the NCAA Championship. If the U-23's are going to make it to Rio, he'll play a huge part.
The team plays Colombia in March in a home-and-home playoff series for a spot in the 2016 Olympics. Expect U.S. Soccer to push all-in on this playoff series by naming every possible U-23 eligible player to the roster for these two matches. This means John Brooks, DeAndre Yedlin, Jordan Morris, etc., no expense will be spared to attempt to get the U.S. into the Olympic spotlight. The commitment will pay off and the young Yanks will defeat Colombia and make the Olympics. There they'll get a favorable group and make it to the knockout rounds.
The USMNT will win the rest of their 4th round World Cup qualifiers
The last time we saw the USMNT in World Cup qualifying they played to a dull 0-0 draw away at Trinidad & Tobago. An uninspiring result at first glance, but when you realize this it's likely the most difficult fixture the U.S. will face in this round of qualifying it starts to look a little better.
Four matches remain. Two against Guatemala, one away against St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and one home against T&T. All four are extremely winnable matches. The away fixture against Guatemala will likely be the toughest, but the U.S. will grind out a narrow win and go 4-0 heading into the Hex in 2017.
The USMNT will crash out of the Copa America Centenario group stage
2016 will see the historic Copa America Centenario tournament between CONMEBOL and CONCACAF take place in the United States. While this year will be an improvement for the USMNT, this tournament will be their one black eye. The U.S. have struggled against South American competition recently and that won't change much in the Copa.
The lotto balls will haunt the USMNT once again and give them a very difficult group that they'll struggle to compete in. The effort and fight will be there, but fail to finish in the top two of their group and bow out of the competition after three matches.
2016 will be Clint Dempsey and Tim Howard's last year as USMNT players
Two USMNT legends will say goodbye in 2016. Whether it's Klinsmann pushing them out the door or them leaving voluntarily, we won't be seeing Clint Dempsey or Tim Howard in 2017 and beyond. Both are aging and regressing in form. Howard is the safer bet of the two to depart the team this year. He's struggling at Everton and is facing major questions about his starting job at Goodison Park. As sad as it is, he's just not the goalkeeper he once was.
Dempsey is the surprising possible departure. He turns 33 in two months and the constant strain of club and country duty over the last 12 years are starting to take a toll on his aging body. He scored 9 goals for the national team in 2015, but none in six matches since July. He's still a goal scorer, but his impact from the run of play is slowly declining. 2016 could be the year that the decline becomes really noticeable and sees his guaranteed spot on the team disappear.
Someone not named Jozy Altidore or Clint Dempsey will lead the USMNT in goals for the year
Unsurpsingly, Jozy Altidore and Clint Dempsey were the two top goal scorers for the U.S. last year. This year will be different. Bobby Wood and Jordan Morris are emerging as two very good striker options who are capable of filling the net. Then there's always the talented Aron Johannsson, who if he can stay healthy, is as lethal of a goal threat as the USMNT has. Also, don't forget about Juan Agudelo. The 23-year-old had his share of struggles with the New England Revolution and injuries in 2015. He appeared in two matches for the USMNT and scored once. If he can find fitness, form, and playing time he'll be in the plans of Jurgen Klinsmann in no time.
One of these young players will have a breakout 2016 and surpass Jozy and Clint as the team's go-to goal getter for the future. | <urn:uuid:add60d28-6156-4839-bf38-4534f80e7fab> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.starsandstripesfc.com/2016/1/1/10698598/bold-usmnt-predictions-for-2016?_ga=1.213375636.1852578988.1444422775 | 2021-10-28T20:03:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323588526.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20211028193601-20211028223601-00218.warc.gz | en | 0.969503 | 1,174 |

Campus dining officials are rolling out a campaign to promote the year-old Metro Diner – a J Street cornerstone they said is falling short of expectations.
GW Campus Dining, which counts two new employees as of Monday, will plaster advertisements in residence halls and take to Twitter and Facebook to market the diner.
University spokeswoman Michelle Sherrard declined to answer questions about how Metro Diner fared financially for the past year, citing a policy not to release sales information.
Director of Campus Support Services Nancy Haaga said she hopes to see more interest in the diner, which is J Street’s largest venue and the only one open daily and late-night.
“It’s important that we are able to serve a significant body of customers out of that venue, because we’ve invested a lot of space in that venue,” Haaga said, adding she wants to publicize offerings like made-to-order omelettes and other new hot bar options, like scrambled eggs, sausage and bacon.
J Street’s first marketing director, Sarah Stevenson, started in August. Three top employees have turned over in recent weeks. Bernadette Thomas became general manager after longtime director Richard Yokely left this summer. The campus dining office also hired Gurmit Chaudhri to fill the retail manager position, vacant since last spring. Haaga said customer service and food presentation without an operational manager has been difficult.
The office also plans to roll out a more rigorous social media campaign this fall, but a year after promising to boost its online presence, the campus dining accounts on Facebook and Twitter attract little attention.
The Facebook page had just one September post as of Sunday evening. The Twitter account has not posted since May.
“We limped through last year,” Haaga said on the office’s communication. “It wasn’t nearly as effective as it can be, or as it should be. Clearly, we have big expectations about how things are going to be improved.”
The diner was the central piece of the J Street overhaul last fall when GW swapped out nine vendors for mainly Sodexo-run eateries.
Last year, Metro Diner was widely criticized for its long wait times, which prompted the University to add a hot bar to the venue this fall. Haaga said the new choices have decreased the wait time.
Haaga said the J Street team is focusing on creating more “monotony breakers” in daily menus, as well as events like a prix fixe surf and turf meal. They are also working with the Center for Student Engagement to bring in traffic to J Street with entertainment and student presentations.
Tim Miller, the director of the Center for Student Engagement, said he is encouraging his team to collaborate with GW’s dining services, adding that the most recent event, the annual Freshman Feast, had a record turnout of more than 900 students.
Bon Mi, which opened this fall, has been well received by customers, Haaga said. Auntie Anne’s Pretzels will open up shop later this month, marking the second major switch since the massive overhaul the year before. | <urn:uuid:f7a24964-cb3e-439a-9267-86fe6f0546b6> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.gwhatchet.com/2012/09/17/metro-diner-makes-marketing-push/ | 2019-07-20T18:49:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526560.40/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720173623-20190720195623-00220.warc.gz | en | 0.961216 | 661 |

On Thursday February 2, 2017, Nigeria’s former President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, met with executives of the Washington-based NAL Council at the US Congress, Washington, DC.
Dr. Jonathan was in Washington to address members of the US Congress’s Africa Sub-Committee/Foreign Affairs Committee, Chaired by US Congressman Chris Smith. Dr. Jonathan seized the opportunity to apprise US policy-makers and the NAL Council on the current state of affairs in Nigeria; his interest in maintaining political stability in the country; and a brief account of his stewardship and achievements while in office.
The meeting was facilitated by the Africa Sub-Committee at the US Congress. The Congressional Africa Sub-Committee saw the need for Dr. Jonathan’s additional interaction with the NAL Council as an opportunity, for a frank exchange of ideas, between one of the most influential policy-advisory organizations in the US-Nigeria & Sub-Saharan Africa policy space; and one of Africa’s emerging leading Statesmen, in the guise of Dr. Goodluck Jonathan.
It is anticipated that the closed-door exchange will spur plausible solutions for Nigeria’s ongoing political and economic crisis.
In his brief, Dr. Jonathan outlined some of his numerous achievements in office, including substantial attempts to alleviate poverty in Northern Nigeria, while keeping the peace in the Niger Delta; through the establishment of educational and skills acquisition centers in Northern Nigeria, among other laudable initiatives.
In his response, the Executive Director of NAL Council, Mr. Okey Mbonu, applauded Dr. Jonathan’s achievements while in office. Mbonu praised Dr. Jonathans unquestionable commitment to the sustenance of democracy in Nigeria, by being the first democratically elected president to concede power to an opposition party in Africa’s largest democracy.
Mr. Mbonu advised the former President on the Council’s non-partisan approach to its work, which included assisting to craft US Policy towards Nigeria, and Sub-Saharan Africa, in the interest of both Nigeria and the United States. Mr. Mbonu further maintained that the Council’s work transcends partisan affiliations, with the ultimate goal of facilitating a mutually beneficial relationship between the US and Nigeria. | <urn:uuid:2a65669f-da11-4178-9f92-8d09239701d3> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://chidioparareports.blogspot.com/2017/02/news-release-ex-president-dr-goodluck.html | 2017-11-20T07:51:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934805923.26/warc/CC-MAIN-20171120071401-20171120091401-00103.warc.gz | en | 0.949215 | 469 |
Philosophy | Introduction to Philosophy
P100 | 20432 | Jacobs
The purpose of this course is, just as the title suggests, to
introduce you to philosophy. To do that, we will look at two main
themes in philosophy: God and persons. Does God exist? Can we offer
arguments for or against his existence? Are such arguments
successful? And what about us? What kind of things are we? Are we
physical beings? What is the relation between the mind, that thinking
part of us, and the body? Do we have a soul? Do we ever act freely?
Might we survive death? These and other questions will occupy our
discussions. Descartes’ Meditations will provide us with a guiding

We can all immediately call to mind the directors who are generally considered to be the masters of horror. The late Wes Craven, of course, was always one of the shining examples. John Carpenter, George Romero, David Cronenberg, Tobe Hooper, Joe Dante, John Landis, Stuart Gordon… these guys were excellent at what they did. Each one of them did everything in their power to earn that reputation and each one of them fought to make their place in the industry. They all deserve as much credit as they get and, in some cases, a whole lot more. Coming up in the 1970’s and 1980’s, these guys revolutionized the genre.
But there were a lot of horror movies in both the ‘70’s and the ‘80’s, coming from a lot of different directors. As great as the aforementioned filmmakers are, they’re only a handful of names. While these guys were becoming known as the masters of horror there were so many other excellent directors, many with a bountiful output of noteworthy films who, for whatever reason, just didn’t get the same recognition.
Many of them should have. These were innovative, imaginative filmmakers who made the most out of their careers even when they weren’t given the best resources to work with. These are the directors who should have been right up there with Carpenter, Craven and the rest of the gang.
He only has a few directing credits to his name, but there are two he’s most known for and each of them on their own could easily be enough to qualify him as a master of the genre and a master of horror comedy in particular. The first, Night of the Creeps, is an excellent, fun-filled throwback to the B-horror movies of the 1950’s. Then he did The Monster Squad, which is the perfect gateway for young fans into the genre and remains a classic to this day.
Now here’s a director who really doesn’t get credit for anything outside of creating a convoluted timeline for the Friday the 13th series. But Miner is more than just the director who put Jason on the map with Friday the 13th Part 2 and 3. While those are widely considered to be among the best entries in the series, Miner also directed the cult classic House in 1986 as well as notable features like Halloween H20 and Lake Placid. He’s worked in plenty of other genres, doing TV most consistently, but these titles are more than enough to earn him a place in horror history.
Living in the shadow of his father, the great maestro Mario Bava, Lamberto has a quirkier and campier style. But nonetheless he has enough films to earn him a place among the masters, particularly the outlandishly fun Demons and Demons 2. His giallo, A Blade in the Dark, also manages to stand on its own without aping his father’s style.
Yuzna’s had some hits and misses in his career, like every director, but he’s done some truly underrated stuff that should have at least garnered him attention among the horror crowd. Starting out with Stuart Gordon, producing Re-Animator, Yuzna then went on to direct the sequel, Bride of Re-Animator. From there, he went on to direct the outlandish body horror film Society as well as the supremely underrated Return of the Living Dead 3.
I’m almost surprised that Wallace isn’t known as a master of horror simply for directing the TV miniseries IT, considering the massive following that project has. But IT is far from the only thing he’s done, having also directed Halloween III: Season of the Witch—which has developed its own cult following, Fright Night Part II and numerous others. He also wrote Amityville II: The Possession, which is a much darker and scarier film than the original.
Tom Holland is a master of horror, even if he’s not always given the credit for it. He wrote and directed Fright Night, a seminal vampire film and one of the best horrors of the 1980’s. And after that he created a horror icon and a lucrative franchise—although it was not his intent—with Child’s Play. And there are so many other credits, from Stephen King’s Thinner to writing the criminally underrated Psycho II. Holland may have participated in the Masters of Horror TV series, but you rarely hear his name tossed around with the likes of his other contemporaries, which is a shame. | <urn:uuid:6f5c2cd1-6b2e-464e-8f12-d9fe0fce20be> | CC-MAIN-2020-24 | https://www.wickedhorror.com/top-horror-lists/six-directors-who-should-have-been-masters-of-horror/ | 2020-06-04T04:55:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-24/segments/1590347439019.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20200604032435-20200604062435-00150.warc.gz | en | 0.978762 | 952 |
£15 will provide a class-full of displaced children with holistic learning for a whole year
Over 12 million children across the Middle East and North Africa are out of school, many due to conflict. Some 2.6 million Syrian children alone are living as refugees. A whole generation has lost years of education. Even in school, education is often poor quality. Classes are too big, teachers lack training and learning is frequently by rote.
To address this desperate need, in 2017 SAT-7 launched SAT-7 ACADEMY – a new brand dedicated entirely to education and development. ACADEMY’s main programme My School is a daily block of curriculum-based teaching, enabling children to make progress in a range of both core and broader subjects.
SAT-7 supports parents and teachers by producing specific programmes to help them fulfil their roles. And programmes also challenge the narrow thinking that lies behind many of the region’s troubles.
SAT–7 ACADEMY has potential to spread education and abolish illiteracy in every home. Thanks to its wonderful staff, education has become much easier.” Hany, who teaches Arabic to Syrian refugees in Turkey

What a magical sunset captured by Cityprom- Launceston talented local photographer Mandie Austin!
About 1861, Doyne was engaged by the West Tamar Road Trust to design a bridge across Cataract
Gorge. His wrought iron arch design was accepted, the bridge parts were fabricated in
England and the assembled structure was floated into position in 1863
The post office was built in the late 1880s with the clock face being added to the tower in the early 1900s.
The Albert Hall is a convention centre in Launceston, Tasmania in the style of high Victorian architecture, first opened as the main structure for the Tasmanian Industrial exhibition which ran from 25 November 1891 to 22 March 1892.
The Cataract Gorge is a river gorge in Launceston and is one of the region's premier tourist attractions. The earliest known European visitor to the site was William Collins, who discovered its entrance in 1804.

Sometimes a really bad idea can live on, no matter how thoroughly it's rejected. Such is the case with the "Internet kill switch" idea featured on and off in proposed homeland security legislation.
The notion is that the President, or in some versions some other government agency, should have the power to disconnect certain "critical infrastructure" in the event of an emergency which meets legislative criteria. We'll ignore the fact that attacks against such infrastructure could be executed in microseconds, far too quickly for government to react. And any pre-emptive action would inevitably cause huge economic losses; imagine the major banks being taken offline for...how long?
The idea has been floating out there for a few years and became prominent early in the Obama administration. An eclectic and seemingly centrist group of legislators, including Senators Collins from Maine and Lieberman from Connecticut, advocated it. But even putting aside considerable technical and logistical problems with the proposal, the interests against it are huge. It never had a chance.
But now that Egypt has shown that it can shut itself off from the Internet altogether, Senator Collins has been inspired to reintroduce her bill which expired with the last congress. Why now? Fortunately, all the reasons why it was a bad idea before are still operative and the interests against it are at least as well organized. | <urn:uuid:7cb978c6-1c4b-4d42-9fd5-e1a7758b3eab> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://securitywatch.pcmag.com/top-threat/283612-like-francisco-franco-internet-kill-switch-is-still-dead | 2018-05-25T05:26:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794867041.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20180525043910-20180525063910-00045.warc.gz | en | 0.976313 | 263 |

New hotel on old Hall of Fame site will boost Century Center
SOUTH BEND -- A local hotel company gave South Bend taxpayers a big reason to cheer last week.
City officials happily announced on Wednesday that JSK Hospitality will buy the former College Football Hall of Fame and incorporate it into a larger plan for a new downtown hotel.
The deal solves the problem of finding an occupant for the shuttered football museum -- a city-owned building that looked like a white elephant after sitting empty for the past two years -- but another important benefit is it will enable Century Center to host larger conventions and draw more visitors downtown.
"The Hall of Fame project is very much centered around convention business," said Kenneth Herman, who is JSK's executive vice president. "The greater number of rooms available in the downtown market, the greater ability the Century Center will have to attract conventions."
City leaders have been talking for decades about the need for another hotel connected to Century Center. The building, which opened in 1977, is big enough to host conventions of up to 2,400 people, but its potential has been stifled by a lack of downtown hotel rooms.
It doesn't matter to convention organizers that there are more than 4,300 hotel rooms in St. Joseph County. They want venues where people don't have to ride shuttle buses or walk long distances between hotels and the event site. It's even better if there are hotels attached to the convention center.
The 291-room DoubleTree by Hilton, which is linked with Century Center via an enclosed walkway over St. Joseph Street, is the only hotel in downtown South Bend. JSK has proposed building a 120-room hotel on the parking lot south of the Hall of Fame, which already is tied to the convention center by a pedestrian tunnel under the street.
Leanna Belew, the general manager at Century Center, said having more than 400 hotel rooms attached to the convention center will be a major boost.
For example, she said there have been five professional organizations in the past couple of years that wanted to hold conventions at Century Center but couldn't because there weren't enough downtown hotel rooms to accommodate their members. They ended up holding their events in Fort Wayne, Merrillville or Michigan City.
"A lot of the groups that we're losing are a perfect fit for Century Center," Belew said, "but we don't have enough hotel rooms connected to the building."
There's more convention business Century Center can't even attempt to bring here without additional hotel capacity.
Aaron Perri, the executive director of Downtown South Bend Inc. and a Century Center board member, said a recent study looked at conventions held annually in other Midwestern cities similar in size to South Bend. The analysis found 250 events the convention center here can't bid on because there aren't enough attached hotel rooms.
"It represented nearly $40 million of revenue we couldn't go after," Perri said.
Belew added that many of the professionals who attend those conventions would seek out places to eat, drink, shop and be entertained -- all of which would drive more sales at downtown businesses.
"And they'd typically come for your Sunday-through-Thursday time frame," she said. "To fill hotel rooms from Sunday through Thursday is a great thing."
But can downtown South Bend support a third hotel?
The Magnuson Grand Hotel, which was in Chase Tower and had about 180 rooms, closed in June last year. The New York company that owns the 25-story building has stated it plans to renovate the tower and reopen the hotel under a new brand as part of that overhaul.
Mark Neal, the chief operating officer for Bradley Co., the South Bend real estate firm that manages Chase Tower, said last week's Hall of Fame announcement has not changed the owner's plans or expectations for the building, which is two blocks west of Century Center.
There's a growing list of hotel projects in other parts of South Bend and Mishawaka, as well.
• JSK has started work on two new hotels -- a Candlewood Suites and a Holiday Inn & Convention Center -- on Douglas Road, between Main Street and Fir Road, in Mishawaka. The company, which is based in Roseland and has hotels throughout northern Indiana, also is planning a Holiday Inn Express & Hotel Suites on South Michigan Street, between Chippewa Avenue and Ireland Road, in South Bend.
• Great Lakes Capital, which owns Toscana Park on Mishawaka's north side, recently announced it will build a Holiday Inn Express in that mixed-use development.
• The Pokagon Band of Potawatomi has proposed building a 500-room hotel as part of its $400 million casino development and tribal village slated for land on South Bend's southwestern edge.
• There's also space remaining for a hotel at Eddy Street Commons, across Angela Boulevard from the University of Notre Dame.
Rob DeCleene, the executive director of Visit South Bend Mishawaka, said hotel developers have some good reasons to feel confident.
Lodging revenue and occupancy rates for hotels in the county have trended steadily upward since the Great Recession ended, he said.
The countywide occupancy rate was 53 percent in 2014, up from 52.6 percent in 2013. "Some of our more successful properties are running in the 70s," DeCleene said.
The average price for a room in the county was $97.85 in 2014, he said. That's up from about $94 for a night's stay in 2013.
Another factor leading to hotel construction locally is that some of the newer properties are replacing older hotels, such as those torn down in recent years along Indiana 933 north of South Bend.
In fact, there were fewer hotel rooms in the county in 2014 than in 2011.
The county had 4,447 hotel rooms in 2011 and 4,369 rooms in 2014, according to data from the St. Joseph County Hotel-Motel Tax Board, which administers revenue from the 6 percent tax charged on hotel rooms here.
Despite having fewer rooms in the county, board president Steve Ellison said, the county's hotel-motel tax generated a record $4 million in 2014.
"That has a lot to do with newer rooms replacing older rooms," Ellison said. "When you replace old hotels with new hotels, you get better rates."
Herman, of JSK, said every hotel is trying fill a niche, from serving people on extended stays to those who need space for business meetings, so different properties aren't necessarily in direct competition with each other. For example, he doesn't expect the Pokagons' project to have an impact on other hotels in the area because casino hotels are often almost fully occupied, and many of those room stays are complimentary.
"It's a different business model," he said. "It may be something that can peacefully coexist in the market without having a negative effect on other hoteliers."
He said JSK's leaders feel the market in South Bend and Mishawaka can support the other hotel construction underway, as well.
"We are the most prominent hospitality company in the local marketplace," he said. "We would never do anything that would be a detriment to our own bottom line."
• There are 4,369 hotel rooms in St. Joseph County.
• Only 291 of those rooms are in downtown South Bend.
• JSK Hospitality plans to build a hotel at the former College Football Hall of Fame.
• The new hotel, scheduled to open in spring 2017, will add 120 rooms downtown.
JSK Hospitality's plan to spend $10 million to $12 million to turn the former College Football Hall of Fame into a 120-room hotel is expected to improve Century Center's chances of landing conventions.
Other reasons people travel here:
• "Notre Dame is absolutely the heavy influence of any tourism business in St. Joseph County." — Rob DeCleene, executive director of Visit South Bend Mishawaka.
• But Bethel College, Holy Cross College, Indiana University South Bend, Ivy Tech Community College and Saint Mary's College also draw visitors for commencements, orientations, alumni weekends and other events, DeCleene said.
• Youth sports competitions also bring big crowds to local hotels, DeCleene said. And medical tourism plays a role, too, with people from outlying areas staying at hotels here while they or their relatives are being treated.
• Kenneth Herman, executive vice president of JSK, said business travelers are the driving force behind revenue in the South Bend and Mishawaka markets.
"We do a great deal of business with local businesses in the area," Herman said. "Then the special events — Notre Dame football, graduation, other university events — are the icing on the cake. They give us an added bonus that some other communities might not have."

Charlotte, NC (PRWEB) February 01, 2014
Hobart Financial Group, a Charlotte retirement planning firm, offers advice on how people can avoid big retirement investing blunders.
According to a January 9th Market Watch article titled “5 critical retirement investing mistakes to avoid,” most people are impatient and lack self-control when trying to save money. Most people prefer getting funds instantly, the article says. They don’t want to invest in a product that will generate more money over a longer period of time, like an annuity.
The article also says many retirees over the age of 60 have begun to lose some of their financial literacy. In fact, the article says, “Evidence suggests that older adults make more financial mistakes than middle-aged adults.”
The article lists the top 5 retirement investing mistakes retirees make when preparing for their future:
Chris Hobart, CEO of Hobart Financial Group, a leading Charlotte retirement planning firm in North Carolina says patience is a virtue. “The only way to avoid these mistakes is to be patient and stay informed,” he says. “With a diversified portfolio of investments and a rational outlook on the stock market, most retirees should be well prepared for their future. It’s all about learning to be patient and knowing when to be concerned about changes in the economy.”
For workers entering retirement and approaching that 60+ age, Hobart suggests looking for advice from an RIA or other financial professional. “Many older investors and eager retirees can sometimes jump the gun when it comes to money,” he says. “It’s best to seek advice from a retirement expert that can help you get the most amount of money for your future. They can help you make better financial decisions and help you prepare for retirement.”

I love a good crispy pork loin, but I’m not a fan of a lot of fried food. I will eat my fish fried, but that’s about it. I found this recipe in my Clean Eating magazine, March issue and right away wrote it down. I love using panko crumbs because they are so crispy without having to deep fry everything.
Panko Pork with Beans & Greens.
What you need to have ready: flat saute’ pan or skillet, 1 plate for flour, 1 plate for egg, and , 1 plate for panko
- 1 lb of thin sliced pork loin chops, or slice your own pork loin
- 1/2 cup of wheat flour
- 1 egg
- 1 cup of whole-wheat panko crumbs
- 2 Tablespoons chopped sage, parsley, thyme or any combination of these
- 2 Tablespoons light olive oil or canola oil
1. Make a dredging and breading station close to the stove with 3 plates.
2. Pound the pork loins into thin cutlets, if they are not already thin sliced.
3. Add salt and pepper to taste to the flour. Add an egg mixed up to the second plate. Add the crumbs and chopped herbs to the 3rd plate.
4. Heat pan to medium high. Add oil. When heated, begin dredging pork in flour, egg, and panko.
5. Cook 3 minutes on each side. Remove to a towel lined plate and keep warm. Work in batches until all cutlets are cooked.
Beans & Greens
- 1 Tablespoon of flour
- 1 lb of chopped greens. I used turnip greens.
- 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup of chopped red bell pepper
- 1/2 cup broth or water.
- 1/2 can of cannellini beans
1. In pan with pork drippings, add 1 Tablespoon of wheat flour.
2. Whisk until mixed. Bring heat up to high-medium (7-8 on a 10 scale).
3. When hot, add 1/2 cup of WATER OR BROTH, pepper flakes, red bell pepper, and garlic
4. Add chopped greens. Immediately add a lid to the pan so they steam and wilt. We are NOT boiling the death out of them.
5. After 5 minutes, remove lid, stir well, add lid and wait another 3-4 minutes.
6. Add 1/2 can of beans. Stir until heated through. | <urn:uuid:d6842e24-e318-4da2-86cc-dd56f6adccae> | CC-MAIN-2018-05 | https://www.katrina-runs.com/panko-pork-with-greens | 2018-01-24T07:29:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-05/segments/1516084893530.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20180124070239-20180124090239-00662.warc.gz | en | 0.859077 | 547 |

TVS Apache RR 310 long-term review: After 5,920km and eleven months
Riding the Apache RR 310 over the last couple of months has only cemented my belief that this motorcycle is such a delight to ride, always. While my busy travel and testing schedule doesn't allow me to ride the Apache as much as I'd like, I never miss an opportunity whenever I get one.
On one such fine morning, Rohit, Aditya, Akshay and I set off for Kasara Ghat, one of our favourite riding destinations. As usual, the RR 310 was comfortably cruising at highway speeds and its high speed stability is what I continue to rave about. In fact, a couple of weeks prior to this ride, Anis borrowed the RR 310 and rode the bike from Mumbai to Indapur, his hometown. When he returned, he just could not stop praising the bike's highway manners. " I had a great time on a motorcycle, after a really long time," is all he kept saying.
Anis' ride to Indapur on the RR 310 was one of the best he'd ever had
Back to Kasara and that's where the combination of the superb chassis and the brilliant Apollo tyres worked in harmony to offer utmost confidence. On the downhill section, especially, I could keep up with a very fast Rohit, astride his Triumph Daytona 675. It only only goes to show the corner speeds that the RR 310 allows you to carry. I couldn't help but give the bike a tight, thank you hug after the ride. Yes, I've really grown fond of it.
While I have no complaints when it comes to the riding experience, there are a few issues that need to be addressed. Firstly, the bike is due for service and needs an oil change after crossing the 6,000km mark. Second problem is with the nut that bolts the exhaust pipe to the cylinder head. It has begun to rust and I'll get TVS to change it under warranty.
It's a similar case with the handlebar end weights as well. This and more after the second service.
Next update: Cost of second service and a long overdue touring holiday.

Guys, remember the 2004 ABS-CBN series Marina? It starred Claudine Barretto as a human named Cristina who was cursed by a witch when she was a baby and turns into a mermaid (aka sirena) on her seventh birthday. Her mom, scared for her daughter, releases Cristina into the sea, where she is adopted by fellow mermaids and eventually becomes known as Marina. Only the experience of a first kiss can break the curse!
Over the years, there have been other mermaid teleseryes such as Mutya (2011) and Dyesebel (2008 and 2014). Check out this snippet from the OG mermaid series of our childhood:
Here's some exciting news: According to the official Star Cinema Twitter account, there might be a Marina remake! On January 28, they created a poll saying, "Which actress would make a splash as Marina?"
Actress and celeb blogger Bela Padilla quoted the Tweet, saying, "Can I audition for this?" Positive responses from fans poured out, with one even saying, "Who else should take on the role of Marina? Not that I'm biased, but you are the perfect person to portray that role."
Come to think of it, Bela does love the water and the beach! Her Instagram feed is proof:
Bela's most recent films include The Day After Valentine's (2018), 100 Tula Para Kay Stella (2017), and Meet Me In St. Gallen (2018). She's currently working on a Filipino-Korean movie called Ultimate Oppa.

Is Your Writing Just an Expensive Hobby (and So What If It Is?)
Do you see your writing as a profession or a hobby?
While some writers insist that writing is much more than a hobby – it’s a job, a business, even a calling – you might find it helpful to (at least some of the time) treat it like a hobby.
I know that some writers feel that “hobby” has negative connotations … but hobbies have plenty of advantages, after all:
You’re not expected to make money at a hobby. I enjoy reading; I’ve no ambitions to be a paid reader! I can spend time reading without anyone (including me) expecting that I’ll make even a small part of a living from it.
You can spend money on a hobby. Think of golf, sports, craft, even enjoying a particular band: so long as it’s reasonable within your household budget, you don’t feel bad about spending on these things.
Your hobby is (generally) a relaxing break from the rest of life. When I write fiction, I try to see it as something I do – first and foremost – because I enjoy it. A couple of weeks ago, I spent a whole evening working on a short piece that may or may not ever become something I publish … but it doesn’t matter, because I really enjoyed writing it!
I’m certainly not suggesting that you shouldn’t be ambitious, or that you can’t turn your writing into a paying job. I do think, though, that treating your writing as a hobby, at least some of the time, can take the pressure off.
If, for instance, you want more writing time but you’re struggling to explain that to your partner or family, then you may find it easiest to frame your writing as a hobby. Everyone needs (and deserves!) some down time. Maybe their hobby is playing football on a Saturday; yours is writing.
What if You Want Your Writing to be More Than a Hobby?
For me, writing isn’t only a hobby: it’s also something I do for a living. Currently, my non-fiction writing pays the bills; I do want to, eventually, bring in about half my income through fiction instead.
If you’re in a similar position – you love writing but you also want it to become a source of income for you – then I’d suggest you:
#1: Set Aside Regular Time for Writing
Hobbies can be put down and picked up pretty much whenever you want: one of my hobbies is cross-stitching, but I’ve barely done any since the kids were born. I still do the occasional bit of cross-stitch and buy the odd magazine about it!
If you want to get to the point of making money writing, you need to write on a regular basis. That might not be daily, but it should ideally be at least weekly. If it’s hard to find the time, you might find these posts helpful:
#2: Think Hard About the TYPE of Writing You’ll Be Doing
It is hard to make money from writing fiction. It takes a long time, and a lot of work, to get to the point of being “good enough” at fiction to sell books.
If you’re happy to write non-fiction, you can start making money much sooner. You don’t have to be an amazing writer to write freelance blog posts, web copy, or even magazine articles: “competent” is usually good enough.
(You might wonder why fiction is so much tougher. Here’s a post I wrote several years ago, after my Masters in Creative Writing and before I’d published my first novel Lycopolis: Why Fiction is So Hard to Write.)
Remember, there’s no reason why you can’t mix different types of writing. I tend to see my freelancing as funding my fiction writing, for instance. If you write something that’s unlikely to make much money (e.g. poetry or memoir), then you might want to use your writing talents in other ways: then you can afford to have it professionally edited and printed for family and friends.
#3: Budget for (and Make Good Use of) the Resources You Buy
When you’re enjoy a hobby, it doesn’t really matter if you buy things that you don’t end up using. I’ve bought various hobby-related things over the years that I didn’t end up making much use of (including a guitar..!)
If you’re treating your writing as a business, though, you shouldn’t be spending money without some careful thought. For instance, if you subscribe to a writing magazine, read it and use what you read! If you go on a course, take notes and ask questions. If you’re going to buy a piece of software, then read reviews about it or try it before buying, so you know you won’t be wasting your money.
It’s ever so easy to fall into the trap of thinking that yet another writing book or course will help you – but it may not be what you need right now. For more on that, read Do You Need to Take (Yet Another) Writing Course? Here’s Why it Might be a Bad Idea.
It’s absolutely fine to see your writing as an enjoyable hobby. Plenty of writers do (think of fan fiction writers, for instance) – and there’s nothing at all wrong with that. Writing can be a wonderful, immersive way to spend an evening … or a weekend.
Don’t waste a moment worrying whether it’s a hobby that people will understand. Some people simply won’t get why you’d want to spend your leisure time writing. That doesn’t matter – what matters is that they agree (and they should!) that you have the right to spend your leisure hours doing something you enjoy.
(There are plenty of far weirder hobbies out there, too. Quite a few of my friends are into Live Action Roleplay – which I enjoyed the one time I tried it! – and that involves dressing up in costumes and acting out fantasy stories and battles. I also spent a couple of years at uni playing Dungeons and Dragons every weekend. Writing is positively normal by comparison. ;-))
Whether your writing is purely a hobby, or something that you enjoy and want to make money from, I hope you have a wonderful time getting those words down on the page. 🙂

History about St pats and How golf is involved.
Although not much is known about early life of St. Patrick. However, St. Patrick was believed to born in wealthy family of roman Britain. He was kidnapped at very tender age of sixteen and worked as slave in Ireland. During his slavery, he found GOD and returned to his home and became priest .Eventually, he returned Ireland to introduced people to Christianity. He died on 17 March. Festivities’ surrounding St. Patrick day symbolize arrival of Christianity in Ireland.
So whats your thoughts on: Golf on st patricks?
The team at mgi golf have contact us to inform everyone that they will run an annual st pats day golf parade. With a huge company like mgi golf celebrating st patricks who knows what could be next for STPD.
It is popular belief that St. Patrick banished the snakes from Ireland. It is said that during the fasting of St. Patrick, snakes attacked on St. Patrick. He chased all snakes out of Ireland. It is true that snakes are not found in Ireland from post glacier period. Wearing green is customary on St. Patrick day. St. Patrick was said to use Shamrock plant to explain holy trinity to Irish people. It is believed that wearing green make invisible to leprechaun. Fairy creature would pinch people who are not wearing green. People pinch those people who are not wearing green to remind the pinches of leprechaun.
Facts are stranger than truth; Nevertheless, St. Patrick day was celebrated by America to connect Irish soldiers with their roots. New York was first city to held parade on 17 march 1762.
A religious feast day becomes synonyms of international festival. It is symbol of celebration of Irish culture. Parade, dance, food, fun, happiness with loads of greens are ways to celebrate this traditional day.
In United States of America, Number of Irish immigrants are greater than Ireland itself. Thus, St. Patrick day became icon of cultural celebration across the word for Irish people and Non Irish people join the party.
Parades are sensational element of festival. Parade is hosted in every major city of western world. Dublin ranks number one in hosting grand parade. Boston and New York’s are also known for their amazing and grand parades. Marching bands, dancing programs enhance the beauty of these parades and make St. Patrick day memorable until next year.
How can we forget that Irish green color of Chicago River on this auspicious day. Chicago River is dyed from dull green to bright Irish green color. Thousands people gather around river to dive into green spirit of Ireland.
It would be injustice to St. Patrick day without mention of beer and whisky. Pubs and bars serve adequate quantity of Irish beer and whisky. Green Irish beer is like cherry on cake. Every Irish soul quenches thirst by patriotic green Irish beer.
Similarly, celebration is incomplete without hearty meals. Beef stew, Shepherds’ pie, and Soda bread enhance the flavor of festival. It is noteworthy to indulge sinfully in Irish spirit on feast day.
Today, St. Patrick day is celebrated to show the strength of Irish culture and love of Irish people for their country.
So get up friend, wear your green, and get ready to indulge in Irish Love.
Happy St. Patrick Day.
We also want to note the both Australia and United states Mgi Golf are celebrating by playing golf on St Ps day. | <urn:uuid:3bf8a9b5-543c-4c6a-bb3b-1522fdff3a09> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | http://www.stpatricksday.org.au/golf-on-st-patricks-day/ | 2019-11-19T12:31:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496670151.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20191119121339-20191119145339-00555.warc.gz | en | 0.969349 | 711 |
- Designed to compact asphalt specimens
- Handles soils, emulsions, and concrete
- User-friendly, reliable, durable, and well supported
- Compact material at a constant consolidation pressure, a constant angle of gyration, and a fixed speed of gyration using an electromechanical system
- Users can set the consolidation pressure, the angle of gyration parameters, and the mode of operation via the control panel
- It can boast an integrated computer control system, a control panel with a display, two USB ports and an Ethernet jack
- A completely enclosed compaction chamber and an integrated angle of gyration measurement system
Standard / Compliance: AASHTO T312, ASTM D6925
Gyratory compaction is considered to be one of the best methods of laboratory compaction for the assessment of compatibility and the manufacture of test specimens.
Compaction is achieved by the application of vertical stress (normally 600KPa) via end platens to a known mass of asphaltic
mixture within a 100 or 150mm internal Ø mould. The longitudinal axis of the mould is rotated (gyrated) at a fixed angle to the vertical whilst the platens are kept parallel and horizontal.
During compaction, the height of the sample is automatically measured and both the mixture density and void content calculated. The compaction data is shown on-screen in a graphical and tabular format as compaction progresses and it is
also saved as a Microsoft Excel™compatible format.
The operator can choose whether to compact for a certain number of gyrations or until a target mixture density or void content is achieved.

Leonard Tose, a big spender, died on April 15th, aged 88
AT A hearing by the United States Congress into gambling, the most compelling witness by far was Leonard Tose. He reckoned that he had lost about $40m through gambling, or it might have been as much as $50m. He couldn't be sure. The money had seeped away gradually though consistently, sometimes no more than $10,000 during a frugal night at a casino, sometimes as much as $1m. But he had vast winnings too. He recalled times when everything went his way. The dollars rolled in obediently. He felt he could not lose. Such moments kept Mr Tose going when fortune seemed to have deserted him. In one bleak run of ill-fortune he lost 72 nights in a row. A lesser man would have given up. A lesser man would probably have managed to hold on to at least some of his money.
There was nothing stupid about Leonard Tose. In many ways his was the classic American success story. His parents were immigrants from Russia who had settled in Philadelphia. Mr Tose told stories of his father selling goods from a pack on his back and saving up to buy a truck. From modest beginnings the son built up a business of 700 trucks whose logo became familiar throughout the United States.
The politicians who listened in fascination to Mr Tose's account of how to lose money quickly were trying to understand the nature of gambling, and whether it should, or could, be controlled. Mr Tose was asked if he had any advice for Congress. “Don't drink when you gamble,” he said. It sounded obvious, but it drew attention to the practice of some casinos that provide big-spenders with an unlimited supply of drink.
In various countries in the rich world similar inquiries are going on. In America and other liberal societies, a strongly-held view is that if you want to gamble, it is no business of the government. However, the consensus is that gambling is increasing, helped on by the internet, but little can be done about it except to provide counselling for those unkindly called “pathological” gamblers. The good news for governments is that gambling, though routinely deplored, is easily taxable, like its sinful sisters drinking and smoking. State lotteries are promoted as a good thing. Britain's provides much of the money to nourish its much-praised culture.
One of the lures of gambling is its simplicity. The apparatus of a casino, the roulette wheels, the slot machines, require little technological skill. Mr Tose favoured blackjack, similar to pontoon, a children's game. The player has to be able to count up to 21 but it is otherwise undemanding. There are books that claim that a player with a prodigious memory for the sequence of cards can gain an advantage over the casino. But whether playing in Las Vegas or Atlantic City, Mr Tose never bothered with such affectations. What he liked was to play a number of games at once, often losing them all.
In a revealing moment he once said, “My hobby is spending money.” Gambling was not all of his life, and perhaps not the most important part of it. After Mr Tose had made his pile, he gave generously to medical charities. He willingly subsidised local public services that were short of cash. He provided playing fields for schools. He bought the Philadelphia police their bulletproof jackets. When the Philadelphia Eagles, a football team, was struggling to survive, he bought it for $16m. Sportsmen should stick together, Mr Tose said: as a student at Indiana's Notre Dame University, he had played for its noted football team.
He was in the tradition of American industrialists who, having made a fortune, seek to give it away. The collections of European paintings and sculpture of Henry Frick, Andrew Mellon and other pioneering tycoons, bought when they became rich, were the foundations of America's great national art galleries in New York and Washington. Leon Levy, an American financier who died on April 6th, aged 77, was a similar benefactor. He gave away $140m, including $20m to the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Mr Tose did not see himself as that sort of philanthropist, assembling alms for oblivion. If he had a philosophy it was to use his money to provide entertainment for the public. He liked the company of reporters, a habit he formed in the second world war when he edited an army newspaper. He became a regular read in American newspapers. One of the serial stories was about his five marriages and their consequences. One wife asked a court to declare him incompetent to handle money. She lost. He was sued by a casino for a debt of $1.23m, and claimed that it had made him drunk. He lost.
In the end he lost pretty near everything: his football team, the control of his trucking business, his Rolls-Royce, a model that matched that of his fourth wife. On his 81st birthday he was evicted from his colonial-style home, and he moved into a modest hotel, where the rent was paid for by some of his remaining friends. Last year, at the age of 87, he declined to be sorry for himself. He thought he had done well to reach a great age. He occasionally took a holiday, he said, but nothing flamboyant. He had a car, albeit one eight years old. And he still had his spirit. | <urn:uuid:6bc07a8f-e999-4d76-af7f-6c12cc2b6257> | CC-MAIN-2013-48 | http://www.economist.com/node/1730822 | 2013-12-09T21:49:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-48/segments/1386163999838/warc/CC-MAIN-20131204133319-00057-ip-10-33-133-15.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.992442 | 1,150 |
Several of us took advantage of a run of great weather to travel over Napoleon Pass between the old mining towns of Tincup and Pitkin on Super Bowl Sunday. This is the real deal. Napoleon Pass (12,020') is flanked by Fitzpatrick Peak (13,124') and Napoleon Mountain (12,563'). Some of the wonderful things about Taylor Park in winter include these great bluebird days, unparalleled scenery, and the distinct lack crowds. Best of all, our tracks are transient, much like our time here.

Tom Craddock scored his 15th league goal of the season as Oxford beat relegation-threatened Lincoln 2-1.
The defeat means Lincoln need to win their last game, at home to Aldershot, to be certain of safety.
The Imps took an early lead and then struck the woodwork twice before the U's hit back.
Cian Hughton headed them into a fifth-minute lead from Gavin McCallum's left-wing cross before Luke Howell saw his fierce drive touched onto the bar by Oxford keeper Ryan Clarke.
And early in the second half, Ali Fuseini's chipped angled shot beat Clarke but hit the far post.
Oxford levelled on 61 minutes when Asa Hall volleyed in following a corner and Chris Wilder's men ended their run of four successive draws by plundering a 76th-minute winner when Craddock fired in from 14 yards.
Lincoln's woes increased further when centre back Danny Hone was sent off for a second yellow card, ten minutes before the finish.

The key, for the person of faith, is to not only to choose for the Kingdom in a particular circumstance but to also develop the ingrained habit/discipline of choosing for the Kingdom. I think that our choices are at the heart of the images that our Lord gives us regarding our relation to the kingdom of heaven in this Sunday’s gospel (Mt. 13:44-52).
Yes, we are free to make our choices but no one of us is free to deny the consequences of our choices. We like the first part but we often do our best, individually and collectively, to deny the reality of the second half. But all choices have consequences whether for good or for ill, whether immediate or some time “down the road”. No person can escape the consequences of his or her actions.
Jesus says that the kingdom of heaven is like a “treasure buried in a field” which, when once found, a person then sells all that he has in order to buy the field. Or the kingdom is like a fine pearl which, again, a person goes and sells all that he has in order to buy it. In both of these images the person makes a radical and extreme choice. They sell everything, they let go off everything in order to acquire this one treasure! Nothing is more important. Reputation, security, wealth, relationships, advancement – they just don’t compare. They do not matter in light of this one great treasure!
This is the choice for the Kingdom of God and there are consequences.
…the kingdom of heaven is like a net thrown into the sea … what is good (goes into buckets). What is bad is thrown away. Thus it will be at the end of the age.
All choices have consequences. When we make the choice for the Kingdom, for God, for what is right – even if in the most trying of circumstances, even if not applauded but derided, even if in the face of persecution – we gain life. The life of the Kingdom of God grows within us.
In our first reading (1 Kgs 3:5, 7-12) Solomon was also faced with a choice. God says to the young king, “Ask something of me and I will give it to you.” Solomon could have asked for anything and God knows this. Solomon, aware of his role as a young king, asks, “Give your servant, therefore, an understanding heart to judge your people and distinguish right from wrong.” Solomon is blessed in his choice because he made a choice for the Kingdom of God. He did not choose for himself – to build up his ego, his wealth or his power – rather, he made a choice for others – he asked for wisdom that he might serve and govern God’s people well and justly. In so doing, Solomon mirrored the reality of God who is love who pours himself out for all of his creation and Solomon was blessed. Life grew within him.
Yes, we are free to make our choices but no one of us is free to deny the consequences of our choices. Our choices can help, our choices can heal! Our Lord invites us to continually, in all situations and seasons, make the choice for the kingdom – that we might be blessed and have life within us and that his kingdom might continually grow in order to heal the pains and wounds of our world.
The Lord was pleased with Solomon’s request and said to him, “Because you have asked for this – not for a long life for yourself, nor for riches, nor for the life of your enemies, but for understanding so that you might know what is right – I do as you requested.” | <urn:uuid:c50e0261-4513-4ba8-8fe6-d53a8b2a0aca> | CC-MAIN-2020-16 | https://thealternatepath.org/2014/07/26/thoughts-on-the-sunday-readings-choices-and-consequences-seventeenth-sunday-a/ | 2020-04-03T05:01:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-16/segments/1585370510287.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20200403030659-20200403060659-00339.warc.gz | en | 0.973923 | 765 |
Marissa Mayer. Sheryl Sandberg. We keep talking about these women rising to the top. How on earth are they doing it? And who are the next batch of jaw-droppers we'll be talking about?
You may see the next gen tonight on Women to Watch. It's a special premiering on Bloomberg Television, airing tonight at 9 P.M. ET/PT, featuring four women executives in Silicon Valley:
- Jessica Herrin,� Founder and CEO, Stella & Dot
- Carolyn Everson,� Vice President of Global Marketing Solutions, Facebook
- Theresia Gouw Ranzetta,� Managing Partner, Accel Partners
- Selina Tobaccowala,� Senior Vice President of Product and Engineering, SurveyMonkey and founder of Evite.com
Here's a preview of the roundtable discussion:
The show will also feature profiles of each of the women. Here's the one on Jessica Herrin. If you've ever shopped Stella & Dot (or have an entrepreneural fire in you!), it's a must, must watch:
I spoke to the show's host, Willow Bay (look for her in the clips!). She's definitely the right lady to helm the project; beyond being a special correspondent for Bloomberg TV, her own resumé includes journalism credentials from CNN, ABC, NBC, and the TED Conference, and as a Senior Editor at the Huffington Post and a mother of two, knows firsthand the challenges of juggling home and career. I asked her all about the show, and the questions you've been posing in the comments over the last few months.
GLAMOUR: Why was Women to Watch a project you were personally drawn to?
WILLOW BAY: I want to shine a spotlight on a new generation of women, who are creating, funding and managing some of the hottest companies in tech today. But I wanted to do more than share their professional stories. I wanted to share their personal journeys, too. I’m concerned that a new generation of women heading into the workforce believes that it just can’t be done, that combining a high powered career and a meaningful family life is impossible. I just know this is not the case—that you can in fact do both.
GLAMOUR: The work-life balance is the perpetual up-in-the-air question we’re always trying to answer here. What do you think these four women are doing differently to make their lives successful that we perhaps haven’t seen elsewhere?
WILLOW BAY: The new buzz word in Silicon Valley is “integration”. Work-life “balance” is very 2.0. All these women share ways in which they integrate their family life and work. Facebook’s head of Global Solutions, Carolyn Everson, for example, takes her children along on her business trips once a quarter. They meet her clients, visit new places and get a better understanding of what mom does when she isn’t at home with them.
GLAMOUR: Is there something in American culture that makes work-life balance easier or harder? And what would you adopt from another culture to make the integration of job and family more seamless?
WILLOW BAY: The pressure to perform is relentless in today’s workplace—regardless of where you work. We are all being asked to do more with less. I think what we could borrow from the culture of Silicon Valley is “eat your own dog food .” That is an expression used by tech types to mean using what you make or sell. In Women to Watch, all these women point out ways in which technology—what they use, create, sell or manage in their day jobs—helps them manage their family life. Susan Wojcicki at Google makes a point to leave the office at 6 P.M. After 9 P.M. she gets back online to handle any pressing work issues that need her attention. She told us she hopes that sends a message to all parents that it’s OK to spend time away from the office. All the women we spoke to on the show use technology in a similar way. They are very clear that they don’t need to be chained to a desk. They can take time out of their work day to be with their families.
GLAMOUR: Anne-Marie Slaughter’s conversation was about “having it all,” but a lot of our readers talk about simply wanting to “have enough.” Do you think that’s a temporary product of economic times, or a permanent attitude shift?
WILLOW BAY: Wrestling with work-life balance is a luxury when working to support a family is a necessity rather than a choice. I think that focus is only partially a result of these tough economic times. I think it also reflects a bit of "having it all fatigue": women are worn out from feeling the pressure to excel at work, and be the perfect mom at home. Maybe "having enough" has a second meaning beyond the basic economic security a family needs. Maybe it means accepting that a rich full life with a job and family will be rewarding, but it certainly won't be perfect. As many of us who have combined kids and careers know all too well, some days it's really pretty messy. And that's OK.
GLAMOUR: All right, so Marissa Mayer and Sheryl Sandberg have the big jobs—but now the pressure is on them to perform. What do you hope they'll accomplish in the next few years that'll really serve as a huge marker of victory for women? Do you think the bar is set higher or lower for them because of their gender—or perhaps no differently at all?
WILLOW BAY: Sheryl Sandberg and Marissa Meyer have already accomplished more than most. I think the sky is the limit for them professionally. If they can inspire more women to “lean in,” as Sandberg so famously describes it—to pursue a career and a family—that would be an incredible accomplishment. If they can, by their example as hands on mothers and high powered executives, show young women that they don’t need to leave the workplace when they have children, they will be superheroes.
GLAMOUR: You've spent a lot of time around incredibly dynamic women--and you are one yourself! What's one thing you've seen in common across all of those women, and how would you translate it into advice for our readers?
WILLOW BAY: One word: authenticity. I am in awe of these women—truly. They are incredibly intelligent, motivated, clear and effective. But what really stands out is their authenticity. They know what personal strengths have contributed to their success. They also know what makes them happy and fulfilled. They all share that clarity and authenticity. It’s an important message for all of us. Know who you are. Know what makes you feel challenged, productive, happy and successful. Follow that path—your own.
Will you watch tonight?

Preventing and minimizing risk of injuries & maximising pefrformance
This site and its material, the workshops and on-line workshops are created for professionals in the fields of: medicine, rehabilitation, healthcare, movement, exercise, coaching, manual therapy…
To be able function successfully specially in the long term, quality and dosage of the movement and exercise are critical factors.
Movement is not always medicine, but it can be – if there is appropriate quality and dosage!
Quite a big portion of musculoskeletal problems arise from habitual movement and posture, specially if we top that up with the problematic dosage of the movement – to the lack of movement and on the otherhand to the overuse of the movement.
Quality of the movement plays big role in recurring MSK problems, because in our sickcare system the main focus is still in the structural injury of the tissue and the cause of that is neglected. The cause is quite often lack of quality in the movement, not always nor alone, but it still plays major role.
Funny thing is that same areas that are overloaded, having increased risk of an injury, are also leaking the performance due to the proportionate length of tissues, their ability to shear against eachother and their ability to activate & produce strength.
When you want to make sure that movement and exercise is medicine and maximises performance, join us to learn:
- Crucial factors of functional anatomy in practice
- Critical details of the exercise and foundational movement patterns for balance & optimization
- The effect of isolated detailes functional anatomy to global anatomy in practice of movement patterns and exrcise drills
- The effect of global functional anatomy to details of anatomy in practice of movement patterns and exercise drills
- Variability in movement strategies
- Movement assessment in context of the needs, in theory and in practice:
- Postural assessment for neutral stability for foundational movement patterns
- Movement assessment for neutral stability for foundational movement patterns
- Understanding of different movement strategies: 4D dynamic movement control
- Progressions & regressions from neutral stability towards 4D dynamic control in exercises
- Progressions & regressions from Local to Global exercises, in the context of myofascial continuities
- Merging in stability, control, mobility & flexibility and strength training to hit multiple training goals at once. Making this process of change as easy as possible for the client, for them to be as successful as possible.
From these workshops you’ll get a clear, easy to use practical tool for movement understanding, practical assessment and movement optimisation. Tool that is in the context of the needs for clients. A tool to prevent inujuries, minimise risk of injuries in training and daily living. Preventing the leakage of perfomance and then maximizing performance
Education consists of four workshops:
- Shoulder girdle
- Lower extremity
- Spine & abdomen
- Integration with functional taping for movement balance
HEALTH 4 PERFORMANCE: INTEGRATION & FUNCTIONAL TAPING
In integration workshop the functional anatomy from the previous workshops will be revised. Focus is now more in the global perspective to understand how all the details are linked: Postural and then movement assessment, ability to control, flexibility and mobility tof the tissues and possible strength issues. How the previously mentioned issues are related to increased risk of injuries and loss of performance.
Focus in the practice is how to balance and optimise local and global functional anatomy in relation to posture and movement in foundational exercise and movement patterns.
In this workshop we pull all the strings together, learning from multiple case reports how many different options there can be in varaibale solutions. And learn a new tool – functional taping. How to use it as a tool improve movement and as a tool to help to teach movement to clients:
- The global anatomy in practice.
- Postural and moivement assessment for movement quality.
- financially and timewise efficient yet simple postural movement assessment?
- How to make that count to that exact client? How to assess what matters in that individuals life?
- How to transfer balanced posture in to optimized movement in different variation in pushing, pullin, squatting, lunges deadlifts with different variation:
- How to use flexible tape to prevent injuries & maximise performance:
- Improve flexibility
- Improve mobility
- Improve neutral stability and dynamic control
- Enhance maximum performance
- Not just taping isolated areas, but seeing further – how isolated anatomy is linked to each other in global picture
- Creating possbilities to move better globally
- Acting locally – thinking globally
- Acting globally – thinking locally
And most of all – how to motivate client to long-lasting process of change through assessment of the quality of the movement. To create situation that you don’t need to sell further appointments, but client wants to get more. While clients perceives how their movement patterns may be the cause for their Cervical & thoracic spine, shoulder or upper extremity, low back, pelvic, hip, knee ankle or foot musculoskeletal pains and dysfunctions. The respect of the value of your knowledge in to their individual lives increases exponentially.
Workshop is part of Health4Performance education that consist of 4 workshops. Focus is to learn new tools for effective asessment and to ease movement teaching and increasing success rate in practice.
This Health4Performance education forms a solid continuation together with Anatomy Trains in Training workshop which focuses heavily in to the details of 4D-movement and its anatomy of neuro-myofascia and myofascial continuities in movement and context with the other systems in our body.

Beautiful Big Bear scenery co-stars in this suspenseful drama.
Train to Tombstone (1950, 56 min.)
There are roaring wheels and roaring thrills as the Tombstone train crosses "unfriendly Indian" territory with the usual offbeat assortment of passengers (a la Stagecoach), among them a "law officer" (Robert Lowery) who is actually a crook with his eye on the train's government gold shipment. Can passenger Donald Barry be trusted, or is he yet another outlaw?

Panhandle (1948, 85 min.)
John Sands (Rod Cameron), a reformed gunman, now a storekeeper in a Mexican border town, again straps on gun belt and six-shooters to find the killer of his brother. Fists and bullets fly when he finds that he must contend not only with badmen, but with lawmen who remember his outlaw past. Shot amidst rugged Lone Pine, California scenery, and co-written and co-produced by future Hollywood legend Blake Edwards—who also plays the role of a baby-faced killer!
Operation Haylift (1950, 74 min.)
The infamous 1949 real-life blizzards that threatened Nevada cattle herds are recreated in this drama with Bill Williams and Ann Rutherford as ranchers imperiled by the snows until the U.S. Air Force organizes "Operation Haylift." Co-written by Joe Sawyer, one of the leading players, and made with USAF cooperation (and film footage of the actual operation).
Wildfire: The Story of a Horse (1945, 58 min.)
A gang of crooks is attempting to drive out the local ranchers by rustling their horses and laying the blame on "Wildfire", the leader of a wild horse herd. Happy Hay (Bob Steele) and Alkali (Sterling Holloway), a pair of wandering horse traders, are also framed by the gang on murder and rustling charges, but they, with the help of Judge Polson (William Farnum) and sheriff Johnny Deal (Eddie Dean) manage to apprehend the real culprits.

Power cable accessories
TE Connectivity Raychem cable accessories in different technologies
TE Energy offers a comprehensive range of Raychem cable accessories for nearly all cable types up to 245 kV high voltage applications. Designed to withstand environmental extremes and high pollution levels over long operating lifetimes, our products maintain service reliability in both overhead and underground installations.
The product line includes indoor and outdoor terminations, inline, branch and transition joints as well as universal insulation, sealing and repair systems for use in the cable networks. Tailored for the applications we offer different technologies such as heat-shrink, push-on, pre-expanded, resins and gels.
Based on our experience in the materials and design of cable accessories we can provide a product, which can be easily installed and is perfectly adapted to the application in local cable technologies, network systems and installation processes.
Heat-shrinkable products are supplied in the expanded form to a customer in a kit together with all other components needed for successful installation of the cable accessory. Due to the big shrinking ratio they have got wide cross section range taking. It results an economical storage cost furthermore they can be stored with unlimited shelf life. During an installation the tubing shrinks down to a cable construction underneath and builds up a high pressure resulting in very good sealing and excellent electrical behavior. TE cross-linked materials show mechanical and chemical resistance as well as exceptional electrical and weathering and ageing performance.
All medium voltage heat-shrinking cable accessory contain a kind of electrical stress control part. They can be a stress grading S1189 yellow void filler tape, SCTM or JSCR stress control tubing, S1300 black patch or a ZnO varistor layer inside an insulating tube or whatever.
Raychem accessories provide a universal system of indoor and outdoor terminations for paper or polymeric insulated cables, for single or three core cables, for cables with round or sector shaped conductors and most types of screening or armouring. The termination's materials possess exceptional resistance to prolonged electrical stress and weathering, but are also capable of being shrunk down quickly to fit and seal a cable. They be ordered with or without mechanical lug with shear head bolt.
In a Raychem medium voltage joint the metallic cable core connection is covered and the cable core insulation is restored by a tripple layer insulating-screening tube. This Rayfit tubing provide a proper transition between the insulation and the shielding of the cable. The medium voltage joints can be ordered with or without mechanical connector with shear head bolt.
Installation of heat-shrinking products
No special tools are required for the cable preparation. The Raychem accessories can be put into operation immediately after their installation. The cable accessory is supplied in a kit with all necessary components including installation instruction in a local language. The parts are delivered with pre-expanded size, they can be put and positioned onto the prepared cable easily. They shrink when sufficiently heated (by propane gas torch or by electric heating gun), and firmly enclose the cable and protect it against moisture, while the adhesive melts and fills all grooves and voids. Raychem heat-shrink cable accessories are constructed in a similar way to the cables themselves and can be bent in narrow spaces. Terminations are designed for simple upside-down installations by turning the heat-shrinkable skirts.
Elastomeric cable accessories: push-on and cold-shrink products:
TE Connectivity Raychem has developed a new product family beside to the traditional heat-shrink family. They are the cold applied products. They are able to be used where using flame during the installation is forbidden, or there is narrow space at splicing or at the end of cables.
They are made of a cross-linked, highly flexible silicone body, which ensures easy and tool-free installation. Raychem products are designed to ensure no slippage from the cable during the all operation conditions. The accessories have exceptional electrical and weathering performance and they are resistant to UV-light, contamination, tracking and erosion. The technology and materials come from high-voltage products, they include integrated electrical stress control part.
Push-on terminations are stored and supplied unexpanded. The accessory body is pushed onto the prepared cable up to the correct position and builds up a high pressure for a reliable sealing, stable positioning and of course excellent electrical behavior after the installation. They have got big cross-section range taking. Raychem push-on cable accessories have the unlimited shelf life and do not required any special tools for their installation, which should be performed at ambient temperature above 0 °C.
Cold-shrink terminations are based on pre-expanded technology, which is similar to the push-on technology with the difference that the elastomeric body is pre-expanded on a holdout. Due to the required higher expansion rates more flexible materials with high tear resistance are needed. The holdout spiral can be easily removed from termination body, so the installation is easy and not need big forces. Raychem pre-expanded cable accessories have a shelf life of 24 months after manufacturing, because of tensioned position of termination body.
Both terminations are available up to 42 kV, and due the excellent moisture sealing they can be used either with mechanical or crimping lug for outdoor applications. Either indoor or outdoor terminations contain creepage length extender sheds.
Raychem CSJA cold-shrink joints are a really „all-in-one” joints, it means that key components (joint body, the copper shielding braid and outer tubing) are pre-expanded on one spiral holdout, which results in a very short parking length during cable preparation and offers a fast and easy-to-install system. The conductors are connected by a BSM mechanical connector that is supplied with the joint.
Electrical stress control over the screen cut area is provided by conductive cones integrated in the silicone joint body with an exactly defined geometrical design. The electrical stress control of the connector area is made with an integrated conductive shield performing as a Faraday cage. Conductive screening over the insulation is the part of the joint body as well.
The silicone rubber joint body shrinks onto the insulation upon removal of the spiral holdout. Outer side of silicon body there is a copper braid, this solderless earth connection connects the metallic shield of the connected cables. The flipped backs of the pre-installed outer tubing are rolled out on the cablejacket wrapped up with the mastic. The outer tubing builds up a reliable moisture seal and corrosion protection.
For installation no need any special tool. The kits include the lubricating grease. They can be installed where using flame is forbidden. The spiral holdout can be easily removed from the joint body with low release force. | <urn:uuid:5a149bc3-25bf-4322-ac4f-e7f10802adbd> | CC-MAIN-2020-45 | http://polynorm2000.hu/en/power-cable-accessories | 2020-10-19T15:51:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-45/segments/1603107863364.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20201019145901-20201019175901-00669.warc.gz | en | 0.921363 | 1,393 |
“Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.”Brundtland Report, Our Common Future.
The concept of global sustainability is commonly linked with the “three E’s“, which are economic development, ecological development and social equity (or development). Each of these issues intersects over specific realms of engagement:
- Welfare. Implies the numerous mechanisms where economic development can leverage social welfare and vice-versa. For instance, economic development generate surpluses that can be invested in numerous infrastructures (roads, utilities) and new technologies that benefit the society as a whole. Inversely, a society where the acquisition and development of knowledge is promoted will incite conditions that further economic development.
- Conservation. Various practices aiming at a more efficient usage of resources, including regulatory and pricing mechanisms trying to promote a lower environmental footprint. It also include the protection of selected areas and species by setting land aside (e.g. National parks systems).
- Ecologism (or environmentalism). A broad-based approach trying to reconcile the environment and the society through regulations and social behavioral norms.
Sustainable development expands further the issue through a comprehensive approach that can be somewhat paradoxical. This leads to different paths in terms of if sustainable practices are derived from bottom-down approaches (laws, incentives, policies and regulations) or let to market forces where entrepreneurs pursue sustainable strategies as a rationale to increase efficiency and profits. While the regulatory approach appears attractive, government intervention commonly lead to the misallocation of resources, corruption, inequity and unintended consequences. On the other end, the private sector is often perceived as unable to effectively address environmental issues and prone to externalize its costs. | <urn:uuid:fa5b4bca-23b8-462c-a520-9dca31953483> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://transportgeography.org/contents/chapter4/transportation-sustainability-decarbonization/global-sustainable-development/ | 2021-12-09T00:22:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964363641.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20211209000407-20211209030407-00263.warc.gz | en | 0.939983 | 365 |

It’s that time of year, when motorcyclists are out and about in large groups. Many new and experienced bikers will be hitting the road heading for the famous Sturgis Motorcycle Rally (August 8-14, 2016). Motorcycles are a fun and fuel efficient way to get around in the summer. But the fact is that they’re way more dangerous than a car. The cold reality is that motorcyclists are 30 times more likely to die in a crash than people in a car, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). And nearly half of all motorcycle deaths are the result of single-vehicle crashes.
Still, many enthusiasts enjoy a lifetime of riding without injury. The key to optimizing your odds is to be prepared and avoid risks. Below are some tips to help you stay safe on two wheels.
Don’t buy more bike than you can handle.
If you’ve been off of motorcycles for awhile, you may be surprised by the performance of today’s bikes. Even models with small-displacement engines are notably faster and more powerful than they were 10 or 20 years ago.
Invest in antilock brakes.
Now available on a wide array of models, antilock brakes are a proven lifesaver. IIHS data shows that motorcycles equipped with ABS brakes were 37 percent less likely to be involved in a fatal crash than bikes without it.
Use your head.
Yes, helmets are an emotional topic for some riders. But the facts show the risk. Riders without a helmet are 40 percent more likely to suffer a fatal head injury in a crash and are three times more likely to suffer brain injuries, than those with helmets, according to government studies. A full-face helmet that’s approved by the Department of Transportation is the best choice.
Wear the right gear.
Jeans, a T-shirt, and sandals are recipes for a painful disaster on a bike. Instead, you want gear that will protect you from wind chill, flying bugs and debris, and, yes, lots of road rash if you should slide out. For maximum protection, go for a leather or other reinforced jacket, gloves, full pants, and over-the-ankle footwear, even in summer. Specially designed jackets with rugged padding and breathable mesh material provide protection as well as ventilation for riding in warm weather. You’ll also want effective eye protection; don’t rely on eyeglasses or a bike’s windscreen. Use a helmet visor or goggles. And keep in mind that car drivers who have hit a motorcycle rider often say they just didn’t see them, so choose gear in bright colors.
A recent study by the University of South Florida’s Center for Urban Transportation Research found that in collisions involving a motorcycle and a car, car drivers were at fault 60 percent of the time. So, you need to be extra alert, especially in this age of epidemic phone use and texting behind the wheel. Keep an eye out for cars suddenly changing lanes or pulling out from side streets. And don’t tailgate; keeping a safe following distance is critical, both to ensure you have enough stopping distance and so you have time to react to obstacles in the road.
Avoid bad weather.
Slippery conditions reduce your margin for error. Rain not only cuts your visibility but reduces your tires’ grip on the road, which can make cornering tricky. If you need to ride in the rain, remember that the most dangerous time is right after precipitation begins, as the water can cause oil residue to rise to the top. And avoid making sudden maneuvers. Be especially gentle with the brakes, throttle, and steering to avoid sliding.
Watch for road hazards.
A motorcycle has less contact with the pavement than a car. Sand, wet leaves, or pebbles can cause a bike to slide unexpectedly, easily resulting in a spill. Bumps and potholes that you might barely notice in a car can pose serious danger when on a bike. If you can’t avoid them, slow down as much as possible before encountering them, with minimal steering input.
Do you have the quality, personalized care that comes from a local insurance agent?

The Cosmic Citizenship Council has announced it will allow two new alien species to join its ranks, but they forgot to make two copies of the filing form — which means that only one species can join! Now, the two candidates must battle for control of the planets to determine who deserves the right to become a Certified Civilization.
Cosmic Encounter Duel is a competitive standalone two-player game in the Cosmic Encounter universe in which you and your closest frenemy race to be the first to control five planets. Each of twenty-seven alien species comes equipped with its own unique abilities that play with the game mechanisms in some way, offering you an edge in the fight, e.g., the Cheater, who can reserve an additional tactic that they can put toward any fight in the game — as long as their opponent doesn't call out how they're trying to "cheat". How your game of Cosmic Encounter Duel plays out will inevitably be affected by which powers each dueling species has and how they play off of one another.
In addition to your unique species and its ability, you have twenty spaceships to traverse the cosmos and maintain control over the five planets you need to become a Certified Civilization. As long as you have a ship on a planet, you have control of it, even if your opponent also has ships there and you must share control. You can deploy these ships to fight in duels, use them to act as reinforcements, or draw them back for a tactful retreat. Just don't lose them to the Warp or let them be claimed by the black void between the stars and end up lost in space forever!
To play, players draw and resolve Destiny cards, which come in three types: Discovery cards, Event cards, and Refresh cards. Discovery cards have you and your opponent discover a planet and duel for control, while Event cards ask you both to test your mettle against a variety of challenges and cosmic calamities, and Refresh cards offer a respite in which you can recover ships, gather allies, and ultimately prepare for another clash.
At the start of a duel, you and your opponent secretly decide how many ships to send to the planet, and once they have been deployed, you can call upon any befriended envoys. To plan your attack, you secretly choose a card from your hand and a standing tactic from your collection to either guard your ships or blast your opponent's ships, then you fight, sending ships to face-off for control of the planet until the winner claims their prize while the loser retreats. After you and your opponent resolve a Destiny card, you check the icon on the bottom of the card to determine which deck to draw from next, then the race continues.

The King has assembled the most prominent village Guilds and issued a challenge: rid the surrounding forest of monsters to earn your Guild widespread fame and glory!
Players take turns controlling the guild's adventurers moving about the village. The purpose of traveling to different locations is to either build up new or refresh your existing resources. For example, you will visit the Blacksmith for your swords, the Academy for your spell books, the Market for coins, and the Tavern for your hearts. Liquid courage perhaps? There are also 7 other locations in the game, of which you will use one per game. This adds variety to the playing experience as these special locations have a wide range of abilities.
Once you feel like you have enough resources, you will venture out into the Forest. There you'll encounter a variety of monsters. These monsters will give you points to add to your glory and some of them provide immediate benefits when they are defeated. The first player to gain 20 glory triggers the end game and once all players have had an equal number of turns, the guild leader with the highest glory total is declared the victor!
Kingswood features an action rotation mechanism that puts players at the heart of the game.
Each turn you select an adventurer and move them to a new location, taking the actions associated with both the starting and ending locations.
Since every player controls the same adventurers, your choices change your opponents options on their turn.

To secure Andor's borders, the heroes will embark on dangerous quests over the course of five unique scenarios (as well as a final scenario created by the players themselves). But as the clever game system keeps creatures on the march toward the castle, the players must balance their priorities carefully.
At the heart of Legends of Andor is its unique narrative, the linked scenarios of which tell an overarching story as the players successfully complete objectives. For each scenario, or "Legend", a legend deck conveys the plot of an ever-unfolding tale...one in which the players are the protagonists. A wooden marker moves along the board's legend track at key points during each scenario, triggering the draw of a new legend card, the introduction of new game-altering effects, and the advancement of the story's plot. In the end, the players must endeavor to guide the fate of Andor through their heroic actions, bringing a happy ending to their epic fantasy tale.
Will their heroes roam the land completing quests in the name of glory, or devote themselves to the defense of the realm? Uncover epic tales of glory as you live the Legends of Andor!

Every spring, millions of monarch butterflies leave Mexico to spread out across eastern North America. Every fall, millions fly back to Mexico. However, no single butterfly ever makes the round trip.
Mariposas is a game of movement and set collection that lets players be part of this amazing journey.
Mariposas is played in three seasons. In general, your butterflies try to head north in spring, spread out in summer, and return south in fall. The end of each season brings a scoring round, and at the end of fall, the player with the most successful family of butterflies — i.e., the most victory points — wins the game.

Ultimate Werewolf is an interactive game of deduction for two teams: villagers and werewolves. The villagers don't know who the werewolves are, and the werewolves are trying to remain undiscovered while they slowly eliminate the villagers one at a time. A moderator (who isn't on a team) runs the game. The game takes place over a series of days and nights. Each day, the players discuss who among them is a werewolf and vote out a player. Each night, the werewolves choose a player to eliminate, while the Seer learns if one player is a werewolf or not. The game is over when either all the villagers or all the werewolves are eliminated.
Ultimate Werewolf Legacy uses gameplay similar to Ultimate Werewolf, but you no longer have single standalone games as players and the village itself have attributes that are retained between games, with events that take place in the first games having effects that ripple through remaining games. Make a bad decision early on, and it can haunt the village for years to come! Players can earn titles, which provides them with special abilities in future games, regardless of their role. Players are each given a public family card in addition to their secret role card, and they team up with the other members of their family to work together...unless one or more of their family members is secretly working against them.
As for the village, there are multiple paths that the game may take, and as a result the experience you have playing through the entire game will differ from someone else who is playing with another set of people. This also allows players to play through the campaign multiple times, with a different set of roles, rules, and environments each time.
At the center of Ultimate Werewolf Legacy is an oversized, 80+ page diary, that walks the game moderator through every session. The diary has been designed so that players with no previous Werewolf playing experience can both play and moderate. The diary is structured into five distinct chapters with three game sessions in each chapter, as well as an introductory preface game session. Players can jump in and out for individual sessions, but ideally they'll play all the sessions in a chapter. Each chapter can be played in a single evening. At the end of the sixteen-game session campaign, the diary will be a record of exactly what happened in your village, and who was ultimately responsible for what it became over time.
Replay packs that contain a new diary and an additional set of family cards will be sold separately, allowing players to play through the entire campaign again | <urn:uuid:fe1420ad-ad4a-4c39-ad97-898a00f8c28a> | CC-MAIN-2021-31 | https://pelipeikko.fi/en/38-summer-sale-247-307 | 2021-07-26T20:14:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-31/segments/1627046152144.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20210726183622-20210726213622-00573.warc.gz | en | 0.956703 | 2,766 |
I have the same problem with my samsung s6, so I tried to follow your instructions but when I try to tap on that blue box when it comes to the emergency mode, nothing happened, that blue box keep moving. If you have any other suggestion please tell me.
Unfortunately all these well meaning suggestions are not fixing the problem but only offers workarounds.
Have anyone found the root cause ?
Galaxy S6 with same problem
The root cause is that helping disabled users is the first priority, even if it means sending into panic anyone else who clicks the wrong sequence. I call it bad design.
I endured the same issue when my phone, an S8, mysteriously activated Universal Switch. Every time I clicked the screen, the phone, due to the gesture, registered it as me clicking the back button. Thus I couldn't do anything with the phone and got pretty stressed.
What I did to fix this was that I held down Bixby and just said "Turn off universal switch", and it worked.
You can also simultaneously press the home and up volume button to trigger universal switch on and off.
I tried doing this but I am stuck on the part where you enable Emergency mode. it asks me to accept or decline the terms but the blue box highlights both of them in the same box so I am not able to enable it. I am also stuck on my lockscreen because i restarted my phone and it needs my pattern to unlock, which you cannot enter in this mode. Plese help my phone is 100% useless right now.
If you are stuck on the lock screen and can't unlock your phone to disable to settings, try holding the home button down for 10 seconds.
This disabled the setting for me and allowed me to unlock my phone
This did not help my boxes go away. I cannot do anything on my phone. It happened the other day and the technician couldn’t even help me but I did something to stop it myself but I don’t know what it was and right now I am charging it and it is showing the time like it usually does but if I touch it the boxes will start up again.

What should I do if certain piece doesn't fit properly?
Sometimes car manufacturers can slightly change dashboard components or layout, that's why our kits may have some differences and it turns out that a piece
or some pieces does not fit properly. We understand this problem and always do our best to make our customers absolutely satisfied. Usually we are able to correct almost 100% of these problems, in case if customer bought correct kit (year and model) for his car. First of all e-mail us about that. Our Customer Service Team and our designer will contact you in next 24 hours to help you resolve the problem. There are few steps how to help us resolve the issue.
| Step 1
We request customer to send us few photos showing area where the piece supposed be installed with wrong piece dry fit and at least one photo showing this area without the piece. Our designer should see the problem. Unfortunately all explanations sent by E-Mail do not help.
Here are few simple rules for this operation:
- wrong piece should be dry fit to its place using sticky tape
- piece should be dry fit without bends
- the piece should be aligned on the surface by best fitting corner or side
- photos should be made in medium or high resolution, normal lighting (daylight) and at 90 degree angle
- photos could show us problematic part of the piece
- at least one photo should show whole piece dry fit with a little space around it
- at least one photo should show installation area without the piece
If you make photos following these rules, correction will take less time and in most cases new piece will be ready after the first correction attempt.
| Step 2
After we receive photos our designer works with them and makes necessary corrections. It usually takes 1-2 BUSINESS days. We make paper cuts of corrected piece/pieces and mail them to our customer for a check. In most cases that will be enough for making new corrected piece, but sometimes further corrections may be needed.
| Step 3
When customer receives paper cut he should check it dry fit. If no other corrections are needed (template fits perfectly), customer should confirm that via e-mail and we will make new corrected piece/pieces and send it to the customer. Case will be closed. If further corrections are needed we request new photos showing paper cut template dry fit. Rules for making these photos are almost identical to those listed above.
- paper cut template should be attached to its place with sticky tape
- brown side of template always is upper /face side, not colored one
- paper template should be attached to the surface without bends or gaps under it
- photos could show us problematic part of paper template
- at least one photo should show whole paper cut dry fit with a little space around it
- paper cut should be aligned on the surface by one corner or side
- preferably this should be the side which was used when photos showing wrong piece has been made
When we receive these photos our designer makes new modifications and we mail revised paper cut template for a final check. Once customer confirms that there are no problems with fitting anymore, replacement piece will be processed. Usually 1-2 corrections are enough to achieve perfect fit and 100% customer satisfaction, but sometimes, in rare occasions, we need more attention for making correct piece, but doesn't matter how many attempts we need to get final result, we always work till the customer is completely satisfied with fitting. | <urn:uuid:3de0570d-480f-4f54-87b9-9959bb16f625> | CC-MAIN-2015-35 | http://stores.ebay.com/DashKit-Mall/FITTING-PROBLEM.html | 2015-08-29T03:31:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-35/segments/1440644064167.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20150827025424-00144-ip-10-171-96-226.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.939559 | 702 |

Let me start by saying this: Ghost Recon: Future Soldier’s multiplayer has come a long way since E3 last year, and it was already tight and fairly well balanced back then. This game is smooth, fun, addictive, and the most fun I’ve had with friends online in a very long time. Are there some issues with it? Yeah, it’s a beta. There’s some lag and I hate snipers (not because I can’t snipe…at all. That’s a silly allegation >.>). It’s all still real fresh in my head so bear with me as I give you a quick rundown of what I saw.
First, let’s get through the boring technical stuff. There are three character classes available, one game mode, two maps, and a whole slew of weapon modifications available right now. The game mode that’s available at the moment is called Conflict, and it’s kind of like team deathmatch except that random objectives spawn throughout the 15 minute match. Some of the objectives are the standard capture and defend but my favorite so far is the HVT objective. HVT, or High Value Target, status is assigned to one member of the two teams. The attacking team, the one with the HVT, must escort the assigned player to a capture point. If they capture it, they win and get the exp bonus. The defending team must kill the HVT…because that’s what you do when you’re presented with a high value target. My favorite moment in the game so far has been when I was assigned HVT status and ran, like a moron, clear across the map and miraculously managed to capture the point without any team support at all. That was an atypical experience.
The real meat of this game is the adherence to the “Tom Clancy Experience.” If you want to succeed in the multiplayer, you need to communicate with your team and work together as a unit. There are no lone wolves in the Tom Clancy universe, well except for that one but he started Team Rainbow so he doesn’t count. The Ghosts, and the their Russian counterparts the Bodark, work best in a team environment. Points are captured faster when teammates stick together. This is the confidence system at work. Each class brings certain skills to the game that bolster the team’s strength as well. I spent most of my time as an engineer and was lobbing sensor grenades all over the place so I could provide valuable intel to my team. I like that. Red Storm has successfully incentivized team play. Matches aren’t determined by which side gets the most kills but by how many objectives they capture. I was the top performer on my team for two matches, which is an amazing feat if you’ve ever seen me play a shooter, because I worked the objectives and helped my teammates. Kill/death ratios don’t matter, as much; they’re a thing of the past. This is Ghost Recon: Future Soldier and if you ask me, it’s showing us the future of multiplayer shooters.
The Beta runs through May 2, 2012 and the game launches in the US on May 22, Europe on May 25. | <urn:uuid:b6c77e1e-473c-4c05-b625-44a133efb081> | CC-MAIN-2017-34 | http://maroonersrock.com/2012/04/ghost-recon-future-soldier-multiplayer-beta-impressions/ | 2017-08-21T21:40:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-34/segments/1502886109670.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20170821211752-20170821231752-00451.warc.gz | en | 0.958275 | 678 |

“Small choices make a big difference. Together we can help eliminate single use plastics.”
I am passionate about all-natural products. Changing to a chemical-free way of living has completely changed my life. My health is better. My eczema is better. Not to mention I feel better knowing that I am not exposing myself to toxins on a daily basis. My husband and I make a lot of our own products, but I know that’s not for everyone. So, when I can find products that are all-natural, healthy, and good for you and the planet, I definitely want to try it out so I can share my results with you. Living all-natural is always a learning experience, and it’s so much fun!Recently I came across Plaine Products. Honestly, I don’t even remember how I found them, but as I explored their website I LOVED what the company stood for. Not only are their products 100% all-natural, but through their unique packaging process they also help to eliminate single use plastics which is great for our environment. Before I explain how they do this, I want to tell you about the amazing ingredients their products contain.
“All of our unique formulas are carefully selected from nature’s most nutrient and vitamin-rich plants, minerals, and renewable sources. They are blended and manufactured with care in Florida for Plaine Products.
Our Products are:
Never tested on animals and are free of any animal byproducts
Free of sulfates, parabens and phthalates
Have vegan, non GMO ingredients
Designed to biodegrade more easily than typical, chemical products
Gentle on the environment
Mother Nature provides all of our ingredients. Aloe Vera Extract, also known as Medicinal Aloe, is our main ingredient. It contains 75 nutrients, including 8-essential amino acids as well as vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, B12, C and E. Long noted for its healing properties, aloe vera is used in the treatment of wounds, burns and minor skin infections. It is one of the reasons our products are so amazing.
Our products are chemical free, as well as kid safe, color safe and our formula is biodegradable. Our vegan shampoo, conditioner and body wash are all cruelty free.”
Each of their products are made only with all-natural ingredients. Plaine Products makes shampoos, conditioners, body wash, hand soap, and body lotion. But, the awesomness of Plaine Products doesn’t stop there. To cut down on waste, and to stay environmentally friendly, they do something that I haven’t seen any other company do yet!
Do you know that each year at least 8 million tons of plastics are leaked into the ocean? With this in mind all of Plaine Products are sold in refillable stainless steel bottles.
When your bottle is empty, all you need to do is rinse it out and send it back to Plaine Products at no cost to you. Once Plaine Products receives the empty bottle they clean and sanitize it, and then refill it to be used again! No waste! How awesome is that?!? A product that you can truly feel good about using – good for you and good for the environment!
In exchange for an honest review, Plaine Products sent me their Travel Size Kit which consists of 2.5 oz bottles of their shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. The shampoo and conditioner come in two different scents (Rosemary Mint Vanilla or Citrus Lavender) and the body wash in just one scent (Rosemary Mint Vanilla). I opted to try the Rosemary Mint Vanilla and anxiously awaited the products.
My package arrived the other day, and this morning I got to try out Plaine Products for the first time. What did I think? OHMYGOODNESS! Truly AMAZING!!!! First, the products smell so good just in their bottles. I started off with the body wash. I put a small amount on my hand, and no joke once the product met with the water of my shower and the steam, I was enveloped in the scent of Rosemary Mint Vanilla! It felt like I was in a spa! It was so relaxing! The body wash is so moisturizing. I absolutely loved it and it left my skin nice and soft. Next, I used the shampoo. It felt so good in my hair and got a really nice lather. It washed out completely clean, which is hard to find with all-natural shampoos. Sometimes all-natural shampoos leave a residue, but not Plaine Products shampoo! I absolutely loved that. I followed up with the conditioner which left my hair feeling super manageable and not at all weighed down.
Before (hair wet immediately after shower) and After (hair air-dried, soft, and bouncy)
When I got out of the shower it was so easy to run a comb through my hair. No knots. I loved how my hair felt. It felt so moisturized and smooth. I always let my hair air dry, so once I towel dried it a little, I got dressed and watched a movie before I had to go to work. Once I got ready for work, my hair was dry, and so soft!!!! And bouncy!!! It felt super nourished and moisturized, and it’s stayed that way all day. I am absolutely in love with Plaine Products shampoo, conditioner, and body wash!

Plaine Products offers their products in one of two ways. You can either buy the products as you need them, or you can join through a subscription. For a subscription you can choose to receive your products every two, three, four or six months that way you never have to worry about running out. You can even gift subscriptions which is totally awesome, especially with the upcoming holidays right around the corner!
I am truly impressed by Plaine Products and their commitment to not only being 100% all-natural, but also towards ensuring that their products are eliminating single use plastics through the use of reusable, refillable stainless steel packaging!
When I embraced an all-natural lifestyle three years ago, one of the hardest things was finding a 100% natural shampoo that worked! I tried, but so many “natural” shampoos still contained ingredients I didn’t want to expose myself too. I tried mixing up my own, but I then dealt with residue left in my hair or other issues of products not washing out 100%. Eventually, my husband and I started making our own shampoo bars.
I haven’t used a liquid shampoo or conditioner in three years, and I’m happy that Plaine Products is the first one I have tried. I will definitely use these products in the future. Shampoo bars are great and all, but they are not convenient to travel with. And, if I go to the salon I always request to not have my hair washed because I don’t want to expose my hair to their chemically laden shampoos. I always felt like I’d get strange looks if I brought a shampoo bar with me. But now, I can easily bring Plaine Products with me to the salon and not worry about getting weird looks.
Sometimes I want to change up my hair routine. And up till now I haven’t really had much of a choice. But, now I do! When I decide that I don’t want to use a shampoo bar, I can easily reach for a bottle of Plaine Products shampoo and conditioner and know that their products are not only good for my hair and my body, but also great for the environment!

After a lengthy delay, Terrence Malick’s To the Wonder is about to make its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival, followed by an anticipated Toronto bow. But one actress we thought we’d see in Malick’s finished film has landed on the cutting-room floor.
Rachel Weisz confirms to the Italian media outlet La Stampa (via The Film Stage) that the part she filmed for the drama “has been cut.”
“I had the experience of working with him [Malick] but I will not have the pleasure of seeing my work,” Weisz says.
This has become the norm for the eccentric filmmaker, who famously snipped such major talents as Martin Sheen, Gary Oldman and Mickey Rourke from his overstuffed ensemble for The Thin Red Line. Other actors such as John Travolta and George Clooney were reduced to mere cameos in the film. And Sean Penn’s part in Malick’s well-received Tree of Life was drastically edited … much to Penn’s own chagrin.
As far as we know, the final cut on Malick’s To the Wonder will feature Ben Affleck, Rachel McAdams, Javier Bardem and Olga Kurylenko in a story about unrequited love in America’s heartland. But in typical Malick fashion, we know very little about the movie beyond the simple logline. We’re just intrigued by the cast, and have come to expect deep, contemplative things from Malick. We’ll see who survived the final cut when we’re able to see To the Wonder in Toronto, and cross our fingers for a theatrical release not long after that.

I recently was afforded the opportunity to talk to South African director John Trengove about his film, ‘The Goat’which recently was shown at the Toronto International Film Festival.
What appeals to you about producing a short film? Do you not find it harder to get your story across in a shorter space of time?
Shorts are great. You’re free to do what you want in a short and you don’t have to convince a small village that it’s a good idea or that it’s commercially viable. It’s a bit like being a painter or fine artist. You get to experiment and take risk without answering to anyone. The people who help you make them do it for the love. At least that’s how it was on The Goat.
The film centres on the Xhosa circumcision rituals, why do you think that these practices continue today in an ever modernising world. Are they still relevant?
Yes very relevant. I think there’s a lot to be said for a coming-of-age ritual that teaches a young man his place in the world. Of course there are problems and certain aspects of the initiation are in need of urgent revision, but it’s still a meaningful practice. We live in a world where generally speaking, men are under fathered.
Interestingly your film explores the belief that circumcision in the traditional manner “heals” the circumcised of their homosexual desires? In your research did you learn as to why they believe this?
Homosexuality is indulged during adolescence, but seen as something that you leave behind once you become a man. I’ve heard reports of gay boys who expect to be cured by the initiation. Of course there is a rude awakening when they discover that this is not the case. They are then faced with the option of either living in the closet, or moving away from their rural communities to live a gay lifestyle in the city. I have spoken to quite a few men who lead this kind of life. Some of them are quite comfortable with their split identity.
Now many people view homophobia as a Western construct but here we see homophobia taking place within an African cultural practice which is un-tainted by Western influence. Does this dispel the myth that Westerners brought homophobia to the continent?
The film is set in the present day, so the context cannot be seen as “untainted by western influence”. Even though the location is remote and the practice ancient, the homophobic currents in the film are very contemporary. To say that westerners brought homophobia to the continent might be an oversimplification. What we do know is that homophobic legislation is a western import. This is not a myth, it’s fact.
In casting the role of Xolani, what were you looking for?
Basically I wanted someone who conveyed the idea of internal struggle. The story is about a conflict that’s going on under the surface that doesn’t get expressed or acknowledged.
Why do you think this film is relevant to an international audience?
I honestly didn’t know that it would be. But after screening at the Berlinale and Toronto I guess it struck a nerve. I guess queer identity and gay rights is almost always seen as a middle class western issue. It’s surprising to people to see these politics play out in a tribal context.
At the end of this film, what do you hope the audience walks away with? What do you want this film to bring about?
It would be presumptuous to hope for too much. I guess it would be to question what they’ve just seen.
Do you have another film in the pipeline? If so could you tell us a bit about this?
Yeah we’re planning a feature film that deals with similar themes. A gay middle class teenager goes on the initiation, which turns dangerous when he discovers a closeted relationship between two rural men. Look out for it. It’s called The Wound | <urn:uuid:da161684-624a-4845-a306-aae8664a1bd9> | CC-MAIN-2020-50 | https://vadamagazine.com/entertainment/film/john_trengove | 2020-11-28T08:36:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-50/segments/1606141195198.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20201128070431-20201128100431-00414.warc.gz | en | 0.969796 | 831 |

" I believe Obamacare's rocky start - clueless planning, a lousy website, insurance companies raising rates, and the president's telling people they could keep their coverage when, in fact, not all could - is a result of one fatal flaw: The Affordable Care Act is a pro-insurance-industry plan implemented by a president who knew in his heart that a single-payer, Medicare-for-all model was the true way to go. When right-wing critics 'expose' the fact that President Obama endorsed a single-payer system before 2004, they're actually telling the truth.
"What we now call Obamacare was conceived at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, and birthed in Massachusetts by Mitt Romney, then the governor. The president took Romneycare, a program designed to keep the private insurance industry intact, and just improved some of its provisions. In effect, the president was simply trying to put lipstick on the dog in the carrier on top of Mitt Romney's car. And we knew it. "
Thursday's big story on page and screen was The New York Times' decision to publish an editorial calling for clemency for Edward Snowden. As NYT Public Editor Margaret Sullivan mentions, numerous news organs ("including Politico, Fox News, The Nation, and USA Today") quickly reacted to the story. Everyone's favorite pull-quote from the editorial: "When someone reveals that government officials have routinely and deliberately broken the law, that person should not face life in prison at the hands of the same government." When the Guardian published a similar editorial on January 1st, no one seemed to think much of it - perhaps as much because of the date as the source - but for The Newspaper of Record to make the case was another matter - why, even CNN was prepared to give viewers real oppositional debate:
Glenn Greenwald vs. Ruth Marcus (WaPo) on Snowden
The Situation Room, Jeffrey Toobin (Obama partisan) vs. Kristinn Hrafnsson (WikiLeaks) and Ryan Lizza (The New Yorker) on Snowden.
What can drive you the craziest is how just one crackpot can force big institutions to do stuff that most people just don't want.

Mally 24/7 Gel Polish Nail Color
Great additonal colors for the kit!
I received this entire SET as aTSV at least 2 years ago. This system is easy to use for those who cannot do their own nails....like me! These colors are fantastic, and the price is more reasonable than you thing since this lasts 2 weeks if the manicure is done properly.I have tried many colors,and my fave is still Mally's Baby- a soft and classy pale pink with SUBTLE hint of sparkle. A quick tip I learned was to use the bare, minimal amount of polish and the same goes for the base, primer, etc. This way your gel-mani lasts much longer. The first two times I used too much polish and the same went for other layers, so my nails were much too thick in appearance-my fault! ALso, the manicure did not last long since the thick layer peeled off which is my fault. BTW, I read a few reviews trying to find descriptions of new colors to buy ...and I noticed reviews stating, "this does not last longer than other polish," or "it doesn't dry quickly," which is not accurate at all. These polishes are not gel-like polishes, but they are REAL GEL POLISHES to be used w/ a gel system, and they DRY QUICKLY PLUS THEY DO LAST!! Lastly,just a gel-manicure safety tip- if you do not use Mally's amazing gel system, whether it be at home or in the salon, please make sure you only use LED light to cure the nail, which is what Mally's system uses. I have seen professional and at-home gel systems that use "UV light" instead of LED which is upsetting since UV light is unsafe. Mally's system uses LED light which is 100% safe!
Best GEL polish/kit for easy home use
Love the color choices of polish for the "at home kit", perfect GEL nails every time which lasts.
I LAUGHED when I read the reviews about the polish "not drying" or "not working"...DUH, its NOT regular polish that'll dry on its own. Buy the kit....IT WORKS saving you $25 to $40 for each gel manicure in the salon.
It is difficult to get an idea of the true color by looking at them online. It would be great if you could order a color chart with larger sample squares on it to judge by at home. Ideally one would have come with the original kit. Since it is quite an investment to start with!
I bought Mally's complete gel polish kit (with light) about six months ago. It is absolutely wonderful. Polish never stayed on me for more than a couple of days. Now, it is two weeks before I need to redo. My favorite shade is Mally's Baby - so pretty and natural, with a little sparkle. One thing I have discovered: less is more...if you put the base coat, polish, or top coat on thickly, it is possible that your nails will chip or peel. I use very little, and it lasts and lasts, looks beautiful, and really helps difficult nails grow out. Thank you, Mally - love your products.
There's more to this polish than meets the eye!
I purchased 3 of these polishes because I like Mally products and thought this would be great. What a surprise when I started applying the gel polish and it wouldn't dry. Now, I'm by no means stupid or naive, but after 2 tries and the polish wouldn't dry, I knew there was more to this. So, I did my research and found out that you need to buy the nail dryer ($65) in order for this polish to 'set.' No where on the description of the polish does it tell you this! It says to "cure" the polish for 60 seconds, when in actuality it should say that you need to purchase the nail dryer. So, after having had invested $45 on Mally gel polishes, I got the dryer. I'm waiting for it to arrive and I'm sure the other positive reviews will be true. The colors themselves are deep and beautiful, so I'm anticipating marvelous results.
I ordered Forever your girl and it is my new "go to" color! The perfect pink!!!
Caribbean Sea Is A Washout
The Caribbean Sea color is green as shown on the bottle, not blue as shown on the nail online. That was unpleasant surprise #1. Surprise #2, which was even more unpleasant, is that the polish is uneven and see through even after two coats. Granted, my nail tech and my stylist both told me to use "really thin" coats, so that may be just something I have to work out. Otherwise, the other colors I ordered were true to color, and I look forward to trying them out!
This color looks really good. It stays on really well with the mally system. It did not chip for at least two weeks.
We've been using Mally's kit since December, and absolutely love the results! So much better (and cleaner) than the salon. Just tried BackinaFuschia - my favorite yet! A great hot pink summer color - and also did my toes. Looks profesh! Btw - I still can't believe I'm reading that ladies are trying to use this polish without the lamp...you must have the lamp/kit to use the gel polish, or take it with you to your salon...PS..on Mally's website free shipping is offered and she carries all the nail products...have fun:)
Best Gel Polish Ever!!
This is the best GEL POLISH on the market. Key word is GEL!!! Everyone writing the bad reviews saying it takes forever to dry and never does, cracks me up! This is not regular nail polish you have to follow the system and it needs the light to cure it. That's how it dries. If you don't follow the instructions then of course it will be a mess and never dry. That being said, I am very hard on my nails. I have 3 small children and am very hard on my nails. Always in bath water, dishes, gardening and sports. My manicures would NEVER last more than 1-2 days at the most with any kind of regular nail polish. (Even the most expensive ones!) This stuff wears beautifully! Stays on and shiny looking for more than 2 weeks. I end up taking it off only because my nails grow out or I want a different
color! This stuff is awesome! Who needs the salon?
Thank you Mally! :)
This polish is very poor. I applied it and 1 hour later it was still not dry. It is going back. It is very pricy for the quality.

You have probably heard of Madalyn Parker by now. If you have not, she is the woman that wrote an email about taking a day off work to help her mental health. That email and her CEO’s response has since gone viral. This is both promising and worrying in equal measure.
The positive side of this coin is rather than being met with derision she received a very positive and supportive email from her CEO. He praised her for talking about mental health and encouraged others to do the same. This email conversation was shared by Madalyn, and has since gone viral; this started conversations about mental health at work and how it is viewed when compared to physical ailments. These are conversations that can only lead to good things.
Most people do not believe their employers would be as supportive as Madalyn’s
The negative side of this coin is the fact that this email conversation went viral. Yes, I know, I have just used the same argument as a positive… But bear with me for a moment. Yes, the email went viral, and that gave mental health in the workplace a lot of exposure. However, this only happened because the situation was so far removed from the norm. Not many people feel comfortable discussing their mental health with their employers; fear of being judged, the perceived image of not being capable of doing their job stop many from disclosing their difficulties to their employer. On top of this they fear that their employer would doubt their ability to take on further responsibility, thus hindering future promotional prospects.
Had she had the time off due to suffering from a virus, for example, would we be surprised that her employer supported her absence from work to recover? But as it was mental health we are left surprised (pleasantly so), that she received such support from her employer.
We need to see a parity between physical and mental ailments. We should feel comfortable discussing mental health the same way we discuss physical health; we should receive the same support from our colleagues regardless what we’re suffering from. And also, on a more elevated level, we need to start seeing the same funding within the NHS being given to mental health as we do physical health. Until we get to this point, experiences like Madalyn will still receive the widespread hysteria that it has.
Have you ever had to take time off work due to your mental health? What response did you get from your employer? Would you feel comfortable talking to your employer about your mental health? | <urn:uuid:7b812c5b-4ed3-4560-b6dd-6feb318e3139> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.resiliencecounsellingnetwork.com/curious-case-madelyn-parker/ | 2019-07-23T16:18:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195529480.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20190723151547-20190723173547-00180.warc.gz | en | 0.986739 | 505 |
I have sendmail 8.11.x installed on my Red Hat system.
Problem: I have created two users. One of the user (test1) is setup locally and the other user (test2) has been set up on a NFS mounted directory (/home2/test2), where /home2/ is NFS mounted on my system.
I have setup a .forward files for both these users. Any mail sent to these users are forwarded to a perl file which parses the email and creates some text files. The entry in the .forward file is like this : "|/home2/test2/parsemail.pl NEWLIST" .
I have created links to the executable programs in /etc/smrsh directory as well.
The problem is that when a mail is being sent to the user test1 ( existing locally, home dir: /home/test1 ), the .forward file forwards the email to the program and the program is executed and the text files are created. But when an email is being sent to the user ( existing on NFS mounted dir., home dir: /home2/test2 ), the email is not forwarded to the program and the files are not created.

Iraqis, Coalition Beefing up Border Interdiction
By Jim Garamone
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Oct. 6, 2005 Iraqi and coalition officials are doing their best to halt shipments of bomb-making materials, expertise and individuals into Iraq, DoD officials said in a Pentagon news conference today.
The officials were asked about British Prime Minister Tony Blair's assertion that Iran and Hezbollah are providing materials used to attack coalition targets and destabilize Iraq.
Army Brig. Gen. Carter Ham, deputy operations chief on the Joint Staff, said Iraqi security forces had intercepted a shipment of devices from Iran into Iraq about a month ago.
"It is principally, as we would expect, an Iraqi issue to secure their own border with Iran. We have a responsibility to help them, both in terms of training and with technology, to improve their border forces," Ham said. "It remains very clearly an area of concern, particularly for Multinational Division Southeast, which is perhaps why the British are also very concerned about that."
Ham said challenges along the Iraq-Syria border are different than those along the Iraq-Iran border.
The border between Iraq and Syria is a long stretch. While "border forts" are being built, many holes remain for insurgents and weapons to pass through. Ham said an operation is ongoing in the vicinity of Qaim to help establish security along the border and to help deny terrorist facilitators safe haven.
Iraqi and coalition officials have seen evidence that foreign fighters are infiltrating into Iraq from Syria.
Ham also said the coalition has seen an evolving terrorist capability in building improvised explosive devices. "This enemy is very imaginative, very adaptive, and very lethal," he said. "And, as we refine our IED countermeasures, they are also adapting their measures. So we are seeing greater degrees of sophistication, different techniques, different technological approaches. And that's a great challenge for us." | <urn:uuid:6bbdd6a8-9354-4f0e-a44f-73d7d2eea76a> | CC-MAIN-2015-32 | http://www.defense.gov/News/NewsArticle.aspx?ID=18135 | 2015-08-04T14:05:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-32/segments/1438042990900.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20150728002310-00308-ip-10-236-191-2.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.976389 | 390 |

Many businesses now use this management software for their businesses.
This software allows managers and other company workers to perform their duties without difficulties.

Dear Dr. Daar, As per my internet research I have come upon two solutions for Lipodystrophy, I would like your input on both solutions.
1. http://www.nucleomaxx.com/index.php?id=63&type=0 Re: Uridine Mitocnol
2) http://www.aegis.com/factshts/network/simple/nutrlip.html Re: Nutritional Supplements and Dietary Changes
Nutritional Supplements defined as follows: B Vitamins: Vitamin B-1 (Thiamine), Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin), Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine), Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin), and Folate (Folic Acid). Antioxidants, including beta-carotene (the body breaks down beta-carotene to make Vitamin A), selenium, Vitamin E (Tocopherol), and Vitamin C. Magnesium and Zinc Acidophilus, a bacterium that grows naturally in the intestines helps with digestion. Alpha-lipoic acid is a powerful antioxidant that may help with neuropathy and mental problems. Carnitine (also called acetyl-L-carnitine) may help prevent wasting and provide other immunologic and metabolic benefits, Coenzyme Q10 may help with immune function. Essential fatty acids found in evening primrose oil or flaxseed oil can help with dry skin and scalp. N-Acetyl-Cysteine, an antioxidant, can help maintain body levels of glutathione. Glutathione is one of the body's main antioxidants. Please give me your input.
Response from Dr. Daar
Hi Mark, I am aware of some research suggesting that these strategies may be of help, particularly for those with fat loss syndromes (lipoatrophy). In fact, further research is underway with such interventions to define their safety and effectiveness. However, at this time I would consider these strategies "experimental" and if you are suffering from lipoatrophy would encourage you to discuss them, along with other options with your provider. Best, Eric
Kaletra & Kivexa, Slow response?

Made in Sweden from vegetable tanned leather
These boots are unique. Due to external factors such as where the cattle was brought up, how it lived, and the type of grass it ate, the colour and the structure of the leather may vary from one pair to another. These differences give each pair its own individual look.
True Swedish handicraft
We never thought about making shoes. The idea came to us when we talked to Kavat about using the excess leather and spillage from their production line to make leather patches for our dry jeans. But we fell in love with Kavat's line of ecologically produced shoes since they fit perfectly with our philosophy.
We never thought about making shoes. The idea came to us when we talked to the shoemaker about using the excess leather and spillage from their production line to make leather patches for our dry jeans.
The leather in these shoes is vegetable tanned at Tärnsjö Garveri. They've been tanning leather using the same principle for 140 years. Tanning is a tough, manual labour from start to finish, but it also requires a lot of skill and experience.
No material is as honest like leather, and at Tärnsjö they prefer the leather to be as natural as possible. Some scars and beauty marks are left visible to make the leather more personal and unique, just like mother nature intended.
The shoes are produced by Swedish shoe manufacturer Kavat. They've been making shoes for four generations, and started their operations in Kumla back in 1945.
From the tanning process to the construction of the boots, this is true Swedish handicraft. Real manual labour, performed by real people who take pride in their work and do their utmost to create something beautiful.
Your shoes go where you go and they become a part of you. Therefore you should take care of them accordingly. Think of them as your own skin. You need to give them moisture from time to time or they will eventually dry out and the colour will fade. | <urn:uuid:f7ae7e63-baa5-4d78-a32e-0eb91ef617e1> | CC-MAIN-2015-11 | http://www.nudiejeans.com/hisingen-majorna-leather-boots/ | 2015-03-02T23:10:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-11/segments/1424936463093.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20150226074103-00214-ip-10-28-5-156.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.959029 | 416 |
Where the Minnesota Twins most excelled at the plate last season was against left-handed pitching. Against lefties in 2019, the Twins led baseball with an OPS of .872. Against righties, the Twins posted an OPS of .817. While still an excellent number, this was significantly worse than their numbers against lefties. In fact, the 55 point OPS difference between pitcher handedness was the second largest in the American League in 2019, trailing only the Chicago White Sox who were 67 points of OPS better against LHP than RHP.
While the Minnesota Twins are pretty evenly split in handedness throughout their lineup (five righties, three lefties, and one switch), what really makes the difference for them in their worse performance against left-handed hitters is that their best hitters are right-handed.
According to their OPS numbers, the three best hitters on the 2019 Minnesota Twins were Nelson Cruz, Mitch Garver, and Miguel Sanó. Now after adding in Josh Donaldson, the four best Twins’ hitters will be right-handed. Let’s look a little bit further into the impact that their right-handedness could have on the Twins next season.
From their platoon splits shown above, it’s clear (according to OPS) that each of the Twins’ top four hitters have performed much better against left-handed pitching than they have against right-handed pitching. This is a common thing for a platoon split as batters will typically perform better against pitchers of the opposite handedness. Moving to the right side of the chart with 2019 numbers, Cruz, Garver and Sanó followed their career trends by hitting worse against RHP than they did against LHP. While they did still hit really well against RHP, this trio didn’t quite hit the all-world numbers that they did against lefties.
Donaldson was the unique one of this bunch, who actually hit better against RHP than he did against LHP, only the second time in his career that he hit for a higher OPS against righties than he did against southpaws. Will he be a .917 OPS hitter against righties in 2020 like last year, or will 2019 prove to be an outlier?
The other factor that comes into play with the Twins’ right-handedness is the prowess of right-handed pitchers in the American League. In 2019, 11 out of the top 15 starting pitchers in the American League according to fWAR were right-handed, including each of the top seven starters.
This extends further to possible playoff matchups for the Twins. In the event that the Twins face the Yankees in the playoffs they would need to go up against Cole, Severino and Tanaka, all right-handers, with James Paxton being their only lefty. Against the Astros? Verlander, Grienke and McCullers are all right-handers as well. While the Minnesota Twins offense is poised to be great, so is the rest of the upper echelon of the American League. Things like platoon splits could be what makes the difference for the Twins in a playoff matchup, and with all of the Twins’ right-handers, this could potentially pose a problem.
Do you think the Minnesota Twins have too many right-handed hitters? Do you think this could pose any issues for them in 2020? Leave a comment below and start the conversation!

Your eyes star into mine and I wonder if you know,
That you're all I've ever wanted.
When you laugh I laugh,
When you smile I smile.
But when I cry you're my rock,
When I'm in pain you take it away.
While I sleep you stay awake to watch,
As my walls fall down crumbling to the ground.
Running your fingers over my scars shuddering at the thought,
Of me with the scissors doing this to myself.
A tear escapes your eye as I mumble your name in my slumber,
Pulling you down holding you tight,
As long as you're here I'll be alright,
The monsters of my past will stay at bay.
When they creep close you fight them off,
Holding me closer refusing to let me go.
As I curse your existence,
You know I don't mean it as you lock your arms around me like a vice.
My emotions driving me insane, as I will to do it again.
Falling asleep you kiss my head,
As you leave I take your hand begging you not to go.
You comply lying next to me,
Ready to fight the ghosts that haunt my nightmares.
You'll always be there for me. | <urn:uuid:1e3cbd57-5132-4b85-8fd5-6d8152e3948a> | CC-MAIN-2015-14 | https://www.fictionpress.com/s/3084450/1/You-ll-always-be-there-for-me | 2015-03-29T20:03:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-14/segments/1427131298684.43/warc/CC-MAIN-20150323172138-00011-ip-10-168-14-71.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.929054 | 264 |

All the insulation in the world won’t help your home if your doors are leaking air. The good news is that it’s easy to test for and fix air leaks, and doing so can have a big impact. Not only will sealing air leaks cut heating and cooling costs, but it will also increase the comfort level of your home, improve durability, and create a healthier environment inside the home.
At MGT Insulation, we use blower door testing to determine whether your house has air leaks, and to find where those leaks are coming from. This testing involves fitting an adjustable aluminum frame wrapped in nylon to the inside of a door frame.
A powerful fan is inserted into the door and attached to pressure gauges. When the fan is turned on, it pulls air from outside into the home through any leaks that may exist. The pressure gauges then measure the amount of air flow that is needed to maintain the air pressure in the home.
Then, as the fan is blowing, our experienced insulation technicians can feel where the air is leaking in, using various tools or a simple touch and feel. Once the leaks are sealed, the test is run again, at which time additional leaks may become apparent. This is repeated until all leaks are sealed.
If you are aware of air leaks in your home, there are a few things you can do to seal them:
- Caulk and weather strip leaky windows and doors.
- Caulk and seal leaks near plumbing, ducts and wires.
- Cover single-pane windows with storm windows.
- When not in use, cover the kitchen exhaust fan.
- Look for dirty areas in insulation, which indicate air leaks and mold. Then seal them with low-expansion spray foam.

(Reuters) - Donald Trump issued a list of pardons during his final hours as U.S. president but did not include himself, his children, or personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, even though advisers said he had privately debated the extraordinary step of a self-pardon.
Here is how the decision could impact his potential civil and criminal liability as a private citizen:
What may have guided Trump’s decision not to pardon himself and members of his inner circle?
Presidential pardons can only accomplish so much. They can shut down prosecutions by the U.S. Department of Justice, a federal agency. But investigations brought by state-level prosecutors, such as the criminal probe Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance is leading into whether Trump’s businesses engaged in fraud, would still be active.
Vance has not charged anyone with criminal wrongdoing and Trump has said the investigation is politically motivated.
A self-pardon would have only increased calls to prosecute Trump on a state level, said Daniel R. Alonso, a lawyer at the Buckley firm and Vance’s former deputy in the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office.
It could also have fueled efforts to hold Trump accountable through civil lawsuits brought by private litigants, such as family members of people who died during the Jan. 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol by Trump followers, said Jessica Levinson, a professor at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles.
Before the attack, as lawmakers were certifying Democrat Joe Biden’s Nov. 3 election victory, Republican Trump took to a stage near the White House and exhorted a crowd of supporters repeatedly to “fight” - using the word more than 20 times - and “not take it any longer.” He also called on his followers to march on the Capitol, the seat of government.
“With a pardon comes at least the veneer of an admission of guilty,” said Levinson. “In a way, I think pardoning himself and his family is almost like a taunt. It would have said ‘try to come and get me,’ and would have accelerated litigation and investigation.”
There is also considerable doubt among scholars about whether a self-pardon would hold up in court. Many experts said it violates the basic principle that no person should be the judge in his or her own case.
Self-serving pardons might also have drawn the ire of Republicans in the U.S. Senate, who will soon have a trial to determine whether Trump’s Jan. 6 speech was incitement, the charge in his impeachment by the House of Representatives.
The trial could result in Trump being disqualified from future office.
Would a pardon for Giuliani have helped Trump?
The answer is likely yes, though hard to speculate, legal experts said.
Giuliani had dealings with Ukrainians on Trump’s behalf when he was trying to dig up dirt on Biden and his son Hunter Biden. Trump’s efforts led to his first impeachment by the House in December 2019 and the Republican-majority Senate acquitted him in February 2020.
In November 2019, federal prosecutors in New York sought records of payments to Giuliani as part of an active criminal investigation, according to a grand jury subpoena seen by Reuters.
Prosecutors were investigating money laundering, wire fraud, campaign finance violations, making false statements, obstruction of justice, and violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act, according to the subpoena.
Giuliani has denied any wrongdoing.
The scope and status of the investigation is unclear, and Giuliani has not been charged with wrongdoing. It is also unclear if he knows anything about Trump that would be valuable to prosecutors.
But not receiving a pardon makes it more likely that Giuliani would cooperate with prosecutors and implicate Trump if charged, said Jessica Roth, a professor at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law and a former federal prosecutor.
“Without the possibility of a pardon, the prospect of a conviction and potential prison sentence becomes more real, providing an incentive to cooperate to receive more favorable treatment,” Roth said.
Trump may have decided against pardoning Giuliani because he lost a series of lawsuits brought on behalf of Trump attempting to invalidate Biden as the election winner, Levinson said.
Could Trump have pardoned himself and others in secret?
It’s possible, said former prosecutor Alonso.
Pardons are usually made public. But the Constitution does not require this, and Trump could secretly issue preemptive pardons to family members and associates, or even himself, said Alonso.
The Presidential Records Act requires documentation of presidential decisions but the law lacks a mechanism for enforcing it, Alonso said. A secret pardon might only become public if the recipient were eventually charged with a federal crime and invoked the pardon as a defense.

Solar cells depend on a phenomenon known as the photovoltaic effect, discovered by French physicist Alexandre Edmond Becquerel (1820-1891). It is related to the photoelectric effect, a phenomenon by which electrons are ejected from a conducting material when light shines on it. Albert Einstein (1879-1955) won the 1921 Nobel Prize in physics for his explanation of that phenomenon, using quantum principles that were new at the time. Unlike the photoelectric effect, the photovoltaic effect takes place at the boundary of two semiconducting plates, not on a single conducting plate. No electrons are actually ejected when light shines. Instead, they accumulate along the boundary to create a voltage. When you connect the two plates with a conducting wire, a current will flow in the wire.
Einstein's great achievement, and the reason for which he won the Nobel Prize, was to recognize that the energy of the electrons ejected from a photoelectric plate depended – not on light intensity (amplitude), as wave theory predicted – but on frequency, which is the inverse of wavelength. The shorter the wavelength of incident light, the higher the frequency of the light and the more energy possessed by ejected electrons. In the same way, photovoltaic cells are sensitive to wavelength and respond better to sunlight in some parts of the spectrum than others. To understand why, it helps to review Einstein's explanation of the photoelectric effect.
The Effect of Solar Energy Wavelength on Electron Energy
Einstein's explanation of the photoelectric effect helped establish the quantum model of light. Each light bundle, called a photon, has a characteristic energy determined by its frequency of vibration. The energy (E) of a photon is given by Planck's law: E = hf, where f is the frequency and h is Planck's constant (6.626 × 10−34 joule∙second). Despite the fact that a photon has a particle nature, it also has wave characteristics, and for any wave, its frequency is the reciprocal of its wavelength (which is here denoted by w). If the speed of light is c, then f = c/w, and Planck's law can be written:
When photons are incident on a conducting material, they collide with the electrons in the individual atoms. If the photons have enough energy, they knock out the electrons in the outermost shells. These electrons are then free to circulate through the material. Depending on the energy of the incident photons, they may be ejected from the material altogether.
According to Planck's law, the energy of the incident photons is inversely proportional to their wavelength. Short-wavelength radiation occupies the violet end of the spectrum and includes ultraviolet radiation and gamma rays. On the other hand, long-wavelength radiation occupies the red end and includes infrared radiation, microwaves and radio waves.
Sunlight contains an entire spectrum of radiation, but only light with a short enough wavelength will produce the photoelectric or photovoltaic effects. This means that a part of the solar spectrum is useful for generating electricity. It doesn't matter how bright or dim the light is. It just has to have – at a minimum – the solar cell wavelength. High-energy ultraviolet radiation can penetrate clouds, which means that solar cells should function on cloudy days – and they do.
Work Function and Band Gap
A photon must have a minimum energy value to excite electrons enough to knock them from their orbitals and allow them to move freely. In a conducting material, this minimum energy is called the work function, and it's different for every conducting material. The kinetic energy of an electron released by collision with a photon is equal to the energy of the photon minus the work function.
In a photovoltaic cell, two different semiconducting materials are fused to create what physicists call a PN-junction. In practice, it's common to use a single material, such as silicon, and to dope it with different chemicals to create this junction. For example, doping silicon with antimony creates an N-type semiconductor, and doping with boron makes a P-type semiconductor. Electrons knocked out of their orbits collect near the PN-junction and increase the voltage across it. The threshold energy to knock an electron out of its orbit and into the conduction band is known as the band gap. It's similar to the work function.
Minimum and Maximum Wavelengths
For a voltage to develop across the PN-junction of a solar cell. the incident radiation must exceed the band gap energy. This is different for different materials. It is 1.11 electron volts for silicon, which is the material used most often for solar cells. One electron volt = 1.6 × 10-19 joules, so the band gap energy is 1.78 × 10-19 joules. Rearranging Plank's equation and solving for wavelength tells you the wavelength of light that corresponds to this energy:
The wavelengths of visible light occur between 400 and 700 nm, so the bandwidth wavelength for silicon solar cells is in the very near infrared range. Any radiation with a longer wavelength, such as microwaves and radio waves, lacks the energy to produce electricity from a solar cell.
Any photon with a energy greater than 1.11 eV can dislodge an electron from a silicon atom and send it into the conduction band. In practice, however, very short wavelength photons (with an energy of more than about 3 eV) send electrons clear out of the conduction band and render them unavailable to do work. The upper wavelength threshold to get useful work from the photoelectric effect in solar panels depends on the structure of the solar cell, the materials used in its construction and the circuit characteristics.
Solar Energy Wavelength and Cell Efficiency
In short, PV cells are sensitive to light from the entire spectrum as long as the wavelength is above the band gap of the material used for the cell, but extremely short wavelength light is wasted. This is one of the factors that affects solar cell efficiency. Another is the thickness of the semiconducting material. If photons have to travel a long way through the material, they lose energy through collisions with other particles and may not have enough energy to dislodge an electron.
A third factor affecting efficiency is the reflectivity of the solar cell. A certain fraction of incident light bounces off the surface of the cell without encountering an electron. To reduce losses from reflectivity and increase efficiency, solar cell manufacturers usually coat the cells with a nonreflective, light-absorbing material. This is why solar cells are usually black.

The Session is a monthly event for the beer blogging community which was started by Stan Hieronymus at Appellation Beer. On the first Friday of each month, all participating bloggers write about a predetermined topic. Each month a different blog is chosen to host The Session, choose the topic, and post a roundup of all the responses received. For more info on The Session, check out the Brookston Beer Bulletin’s nice archive page.
Despite still being a young blogger with not the greatest following, I really wanted to get in there early. I’ll probably get about two responses, maximum but screw it.
It’s all fun, right?
Speaking of fun, going to the pub with a bunch of mates is great… you have a few beers and a laugh, generally a fun time and all.
I love going to the pub with mates but sometimes I go to a pub alone and I enjoy it.
Other people say I’m weird for this as there seems to be a stigma attached to being in the pub alone – alcoholism.
There are many reasons why I go to the pub alone.
Sometimes I just want to spend some quality time alone that isn’t at home.
Sometimes I’m walking home and fancy a pit-stop.
Sometimes my mates are all busy with their girlfriends/wives/children and I want a pint.
Sometimes I just fancy going to the pub and observing the bizarre people around me.
Sometimes I want to sit down and write blogs on my tableaux while having a pint.
Sometimes I just want to play angry birds while having a pint.
Sometimes I just want to prop myself at the bar and discuss beer with the bartender.
Sometimes I want to explore pubs that I’ve never been to before but my mates don’t want to.
Sometimes I’m just a miserable bastard and don’t want to socialise but want a nice pint.
The way I see it is that I love beer and pubs and I don’t see why I should only go to the pub when I’m with other people.
Am I weird for going to the pub alone?
How do you feel about going to the pub alone? Do you feel it’s necessary to be around friends to spend time in a pub?
I’d like to know your thoughts so on Friday 6th July please blog about your feelings of being alone in the pub or if you don’t own a blog, just write a comment below then at the end of the night when I’m probably quite drunk (having spent all night in the pub alone) I’ll summarise what everyone’s said. | <urn:uuid:895799f3-1346-4fba-8614-2f00bcbaf3cb> | CC-MAIN-2014-35 | http://www.boozebeatsbites.com/2012/06/session-65-so-lonely.html | 2014-08-20T08:45:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-35/segments/1408500801235.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20140820021321-00358-ip-10-180-136-8.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.940808 | 564 |
Police have issued a fresh appeal for help in the search for 88 year old Gwyn Morris who was last seen in Stanstead Abbotts on the morning of December 6,
My officers have been relentless in their search to find Gwyn and today those searches continue.
“We have been overwhelmed by the support of the local communities and offers to help with the searches. I would like to re-iterate my appeals to people to please still keep looking. Check your garages, sheds and out-buildings and if you are out and about in the area please be vigilant and report anything of note to police immediately." | <urn:uuid:8f5c37cd-3e97-4599-90a3-d9ba61906c09> | CC-MAIN-2015-40 | http://www.itv.com/news/anglia/topic/herts-police/ | 2015-10-04T03:36:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-40/segments/1443736672328.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20151001215752-00006-ip-10-137-6-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.985343 | 127 |

ABOUT THE ART
I loved the series Firefly. Hated the fact that they cancelled it and personally i think it was the real launch of Nathan Fillions stardom. Remains my favourite series. So this is a tribute to that show and all the people that loved it as much as me, with a slight twist ;) Hope you guys enjoy! | <urn:uuid:848ffebd-7c57-484d-9aec-c1b310d38e4d> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | https://society6.com/product/firefly-ng1_print | 2017-06-28T00:52:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128321961.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20170627235941-20170628015941-00296.warc.gz | en | 0.954827 | 111 |
Choice is one of the leading indicators that leads to success in reluctant learners. Therefore, choice needs to be an essential component of our everyday instruction. Incorporating choice reading is one way you can integrate more choice in your instruction. However, as I mention in Reading Without Limits, choice can also be debilitating.
As I share
“But don’t overwhelm students with choice. Barry Schwartz, author of The Paradox of Choice, says, “We become overloaded. Choice no longer liberates, it debilitates. It might even be said to tyrannize” (Schwartz, p.2). Less is more in choice, as a study on taste tests shows. Columbia professor Sheena Iyengar, in When Choice is Demotivating, ran a test in a grocery store. She set up a table with 24 jams. Though 60% of the customers stopped to taste, only 3% actually bought a jam. Then she set up a table with six jams: 40% of customers stopped to taste and 30% purchased a jam. This study shows that while choice is important, narrowing a field of choice increased purchase power. Include choice, but narrow the field. Instead of putting every young adult book in your library, cultivate it by choosing high-leverage books (high interest, readability, excellent writing), order lots of copies of those books, and allow students to choose within your edited library. Every term, rotate in new books.
A new term starts in a couple weeks. Here are the titles I recently recommended to a colleague in Georgia who teaches middle school. What titles would you add to the list below?
The Red Pyramid and Percy Jackson
The Lunch Lady
Alex Ryder (both graphic novel and novel)
How to Train Your Dragon
Cirque Du Freak
Diary of a Wimpy Kid
Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul
Walter Dean Myers

Contacting the Dole customer service department was easy. When we called, there was only three options. One was for customers seeking recipes, the second was for nutritional information and the third directed the call to the customer service department. We chose three and the call connected immediately after. We asked the agent what is the protocol in the event someone get sick from eating a product, after 911 is called. The agent explained customers need to contact the customer support team and file a incident report. Once the incident report is filed, the company investigates the situation and follows up accordingly.
We didn’t expect this much attention to detail, but it was a breath of fresh air. When you contacted the customer support team at Dole, were your questions and concerns answered?

24 July 2019 By Victoria Burnell
Sarah Wain’s abundance of horticultural knowledge was put to fantastic use at our final ‘Grow Morning’ of the summer. Having recently retired as Garden Supervisor after 25 years at West Dean, Sarah passed on invaluable information on how to set up, organise and care for your greenhouse and plants. For our Alitex customers who attended the morning, many of whom are in the process of choosing their greenhouse or deciding what they will use it for, Sarah’s talk provided exciting inspiration for their personal Alitex journeys. It can seem overwhelming with hundreds of things to consider when contemplating a greenhouse, but don’t panic, here are some of Sarah’s top tips to keep in mind.
Organisation of your greenhouse
Sarah emphasised that the first thing to think about is what you are going to grow in your greenhouse. What you decide to grow will change what your individual glasshouse requires from the environment and the combination of plants you can grow. If you want to grow climbing leafy vines or tall fruit trees this will create shade below them and thus limit potential for plants underneath. Sarah’s tip was to put shade loving ferns underneath taller leafy plants. Additionally, if you would like to use your greenhouse for entertaining, keep in mind that some plants will grow to take up large amounts of space thus limiting areas that could be used for furniture.
Light and shade for your plants
As we all know, light is absolutely crucial for growing and Sarah gave us some fantastic tips on how to make the most of the sun. When looking at where you’re going to put your structure try to avoid any large trees that will create areas of shade to ensure your plants can get all the sunshine they need. To give you the ability to manipulate the light and shade surrounding your greenhouse, Sarah recommends adding blinds to your greenhouse. This will ensure that the temperature doesn’t get too high during the hot summer months and more importantly, you’re the one in control.
Ventilation for your greenhouse
Plants love air and making sure there is enough ventilation flowing through your greenhouse is another of Sarah’s top priorities. This will prevent water creating too much humidity at night, which leads to fungal infections in your plants. While ventilation is good, Sarah also gave us some great tips for protecting your greenhouse in strong gales and winds. Although Alitex greenhouses are built to withstand damage with 4mm toughened glass, very large trees and their branches can pose a risk to the structure. Similarly, a very helpful tip from Sarah was to make sure that if your children or grandchildren have been playing with toys in the garden make sure they are put away to prevent potential damage to your greenhouse in adverse weather.
These ideas were only the tip of the iceberg when it came to Sarah’s decades of horticultural knowledge. Our customers came away from the morning full of new ideas, motivation and plans for their current or future greenhouses. If you would like to attend one of our Grow Mornings to get inspired, we would love to see you, so look out for the next series coming soon. Alternatively, Sarah will be joining us in October as part of the Garden Masterclass series where she will explore plants and crops that can be grown in greenhouses and conservatories, extending the season along with general care and maintenance of glasshouses.

The 2015 high school football season started this weekend. It’s W’s last season of high school football and perhaps ever as a player. Friday night the Wheaton Warrenville South Tigers began the season against their cross-town rival, Wheaton North. I watched from the North sidelines as part of the chain gang. I kept my mouth shut and my enthusiasm to myself. I kept my eye on the field and moved with the ball.
It was a good game and the Tigers came out on top, barely.
The game was scoreless at the half. 0-0.
The third quarter began and The Falcons quickly scored a touchdown to lead by seven. The Tigers answered with a touchdown of their own and the game was tied at seven all. It stayed tied until the end. Then, the game moved to overtime.
Overtime rules are different. Each team gets the ball on the ten yard line and gets four downs (plays\tries) to score. The team that scores the most points wins. Simple.
Both teams failed to score in the first overtime and the teams switched ends and started over. In the second overtime, the Tigers failed to score on three downs, then, kicked a field goal to lead for the first time in the game. Then it was the Falcons turn. They ran three plays and failed to score, then lined up for a field goal, too. Continue reading Failure is expected….→
I’d like to introduce my first ever – guest blogger – Chris White. I’ve known Chris for a over forty years, he was my backdoor neighbor growing up and the leader of all things fun in the neighborhood. There were a lot of boys our age in the neighborhood growing up and only a couple of girls in our age bracket. Chris was a few years older than me, but I never felt that way – we played tackle football in the side yard, baseball in the vacant lot, and when I got older, he became my boss at Tempo Records and Tapes. I moved away from Texas in ’87 and he moved, too. We lost touch, but I never forgot growing up in the neighborhood. We got back in touch a few years ago on Facebook and we’ve messaged back and forth a several times catching up. His whimsical sense of humor was inspiration and I vividly remember many of the laughs we shared, many of which are not fit to print. Despite our moves, both of us still root for Houston sports teams. Which, if you know the history of most of Houston’s sports teams, is funny. Very funny.
I let Chris tell you the rest of the story……
I first discovered musical idols the day my older sister brought home “Meet the Beatles.” Not yet ready myself to idolize anyone not wearing a cape and tights, I watched fascinated as my sister melted into a puddle while the moptops went about changing popular music forever.
Flash forward a few years, leaping over a Herman’s Hermits infatuation that’s better left unexamined, to my freshman year in high school, when I first discovered that athletic skill wasn’t necessarily a prerequisite for attracting the opposite sex. I began to gravitate toward those girls who’d never heard of Johnny Bench but who could have described Led Zep’s Robert Plant in sufficient detail to satisfy a police sketch artist. It was around that time I discovered the first musical idol I could latch onto and call my own: Keith Emerson, the genius behind Emerson, Lake and Palmer. Keith was a giant of progressive rock, a colossus among multi-keyboardists — it was decades later that I learned he was (and still is, presumably) all of 5’4”. Regardless, Keith seemed larger than life at the time.
Since my family owned a Hammond organ, I began to teach myself how to play, taking baby steps at first. Wrangling a couple of friends who shared a remarkably similar complete lack of musical talent, I formed a band. Or more accurately, a “band.” Clay, the proprietor of this blog (thanks for the guest spot, Clay!), whose boyhood home was right behind my own house at the time, can attest to the fact that no amount of volume can make up for a dearth of musical skill. The amazing thing about lack of ability, though, is that it’s often accompanied by a simultaneous lack of awareness. Not realizing how bad we were, my bandmates and I continued hacking away on our respective instruments until a miracle occurred. Lo and behold, we gradually became mediocre. Eventually we progressed through “adequate” and “not terrible” and by the time we were seniors in high school, ended up somewhere around “pretty damned good,” complete with a record (recorded in an actual honest-to-God music studio) that got a few spins on KLOL, the dominant FM rock station in Houston at the time.
It was on a road trip in 1976 to play a spring break gig in Corpus Christi that I was introduced to the musical idols who would keep all others at bay for the next forty years. One of my bandmates brought along a supposedly high-fidelity 8-track tape of Steely Dan’s “The Royal Scam” album, which we listened to over and over and over in my dad’s Olds Delta 88. By the time I was back in Houston a few days later, the trajectory of my life had been irreversibly altered. No longer would I be quite as satisfied with the bombast glam of Queen or the overwrought noodlings of Kansas. I had discovered complex chord changes, jazz harmonies, guitar solos wicked enough to send the swiftest-fingered rockers back to the practice room, all set to rock songs with lyrics that were literate without being pretentious. A shimmering, gorgeous surface hid the musical complexity underneath, and the lyrics only gave the faintest of brush strokes to the sordid tales they painted, forcing the listener to fill in the details using his own imagination. That some people didn’t “get” Steely Dan, taking them as a light-rock band with glossy songs, only made it that much better. I was in that select group who understood how deep their music actually was. Genesis? Yes? Rush? Don’t get me started with those prog-rock posers, Steely Dan were real musicians playing music that was challenging in a way nothing else I’d ever heard on rock radio was.

After two days of meetings this week on Monday and Tuesday, full of reminders, staff get-togethers, and new curriculum; I get a full day to work in my classroom today. O and I were there last Thursday and I was back Friday afternoon. I am excited.

The seventh graders read a book in ELA, The Giver by Lois Lowry. It’s a new classic dystopian novel for kids it was published in 1993 and it was made into a movie and released in August 2013; read the book, it’s better. Trust me. In the first chapter, Jonas a twelve year-old boy and the main character, describes his feelings about the upcoming Ceremony of Twelve in December as he rides his bike home. At first, he describes his feelings as being frightened, but realizes the word doesn’t describe how he feels about the changes which lie ahead for him. When he reaches home, he realizes he isn’t frightened, but apprehensive.
I’ve been back and forth to school several times in the past week. My rides to and from school have had similar thoughts – making lists, thinking, worry, apprehension, fright (sort of), and I decided I am full of anticipation and even perhaps, like Jonas a little apprehension.
I remember a song from my youth about anticipation, Heinz used it in its ketchup commercials to highlight how thick its ketchup was – it was so think, it took a while to begin flowing out of the bottle. As a scientist, I know it’s because t’s a non-Newtonian fluid that exhibits characteristics of both a sold and a liquid. But’s that’s another story.
School starts Monday. I’m ready, or at least I think I’m ready.
I was at school working in my classroom Thursday and again, Friday afternoon – I have a list of to dos before Monday morning and my first official day of school – faculty meetings and administrative details before the kids arrive next Thursday.
Thursday, I was busy masking a line from the back of the room to the front of the room so I could paint a 3” wide blue line – I’ll be using it for a timeline 1750 to present. Jose, the head custodian, will paint it this week and I’ll start posting events as they come up in class. I had O with me on Thursday and she organized my project boxes – boxes of supplies groups can use in class. We went school supply shopping Monday and visited her school Tuesday and she got her schedule and organized her locker. She was a big help Thursday and I owe her big time.
Friday I met with my science colleagues and we planned. Afterwards, I made lists and organized a few bins and drawers. I’ll stay late Monday and Tuesday and work on a few more details before having Wednesday all t myself to get the room ready for students on Thursday.
As for today and tomorrow – the days before school starts, the final weekend before school: Today there is o’s softball practice and W’s varsity football picnic. And, of course yard work and my desk.
We are back home; and I am back at home in the basement. We left late Sunday night and arrived early Monday morning. O decided to join W and me, after we had pulled all of the boats and stored the outdoor furniture before leaving for the cottage for the summer. I don’t know when we’ll get back. I only know when I get back it will feel wonderful, like summer.
I am only a few days away from ‘being back’ but I’ve been back at school a couple of times in the past week and peeked into my classroom. I spent a few hours this afternoon working on planning and thinking.
At the beginning of the summer, I began tutoring a student in reading and social studies. We met several times this summer and today was our final tutoring session. She will be in my first period U.S. History class and we’ll continue working on some of the social studies skills we focused on this summer – sequencing and looking at cause and effect relationships.
It hit me this morning that summer is almost over when I read that 42 years ago today American Graffiti was released. It is the quintessential summer movie and though I did not see it in the theater, but I’ve seen it several times on television and replayed it on DVD. Continue reading Tuesday’s Tune: “All Summer Long”→
Those who cannot remember the past, are condemned to repeat it.”― George Santayana, The Life of Reason: Five Volumes in One
This fall, I’ll be teaching history full time for the first time in my teaching career. I am excited and I am worried. History gets a bad rap, especially with 13-14 years olds. Many folks believe history is remembering all sorts of dates and facts, and while that’s part of it, it’s not the reason we study history. We study history to learn from our mistakes and move forward as a people, as a society.
This past year, I taught one section of history and it opened my eyes, again. American society seems to repeat itself every other generation – the issues my great grandparents faced, my generation faces today. In the 1840s immigrants – the Irish – were blamed for the country’s ills. Three generations later in 1900 – 1920s a different group of immigrants – eastern and southern Europeans were blamed, today it’s yet another group of immigrants longing for freedom.

In the last quarter of the school year, I suggested a daily dose of history and volunteered to manage it. Administration ALWAYS appreciates initiative and follow through. Each school day I’d select an event and create a slide for the morning announcements. My colleagues knew I was behind it and let me know they appreciated the reminder of the importance of each day. Sometimes, I’d tweet it with my school twitter account – @ScullenWatkins.
I am number that third guy who walks into a music store searching for a tune he’s heard, sometimes I’ll have the tune, or maybe a bit of the chorus. Sometimes I have it correct, most times though, I am all messed up. Eventually I get it right and find the song.
Blues skies made an appearance yesterday. It was great to see them after Sunday’s storms. Storms rolled across the lake in waves Sunday afternoon. The first wave came around noon and brought wind, thunder, lightning, and rain. The second wave came a couple of hours later. The third wave came around 5 PM.
B and I had decided that gardening would have to wait for another day and she took off with O and friends to let the kids see a movie and to shop – she needed paint for the downstairs powder room among a few other items. I finished my chores and decided to watch a baseball game upstairs when the last wave rolled through.
We’ve been Up North over a week and each day we’ve been chipping away at our chore list: getting a chore here and a chore there knocked off the list. We have a summer’s worth of ‘to dos’ to accomplish while we are here, there’s always something to do, even when I’d rather read a book or gaze out over the lake. But, we’ve also had time for a boat ride to watch the sunset. Inspiring.
We were having dinner with friends the other night – they came here for ribs and beans and we were at their place for ham and potatoes last night – we were talking and they shared they had been looking at other cottages around the lake and decided that where we are, they are four houses down the shore, can’t be equaled. I agree. I get up in the morning and look out over the lake, enjoy a cup of coffee and think, dream, or I can sit on the deck and read a book, and the lake lies before me.

The direct decarboxylative arylation of α-amino acids has been achieved via visible light-mediated photoredox catalysis. This method offers rapid entry to prevalent benzylic amine architectures from an abundant biomass, specifically α-amino acid precursors. Significant substrate scope is observed with respect to both the amino acid and arene components.

Nib International Bank (NIB) reported a profit after tax of 283.23 million Br for the 2011/12 fiscal year, up by 16.4pc from that of the previous year, although its earnings per share have gone down from 188 Br to 172Br.
This was announced at the 13th shareholders general assembly and extraordinary meeting held at the Millennium Hall, on Saturday October 27, 2012.
The bank’s paid-up capital has also gone up to 943.8 million Br, way above the 500 million Br minimum requirement set by the National Bank of Ethiopia (NBE) in September 2011.
“Although we do not have to increase paid up capital, the decision to do so was taken by shareholders who want a stronger bank,” Amerga Kassa, president of the bank told Fortune.
In 2011/12 alone, NIB had raised 226.8 million Br additional paid-up capital, which led to a 9.5pc decline of Earnings per Share (EPS).
“A huge paid-up capital increase unmatched by a similar increase in profit has repeatedly undermined the EPS of NIB,” observes Abdulmena Mohammed Hamza, accounts manager atLondonbased Portobello group.
The management of the bank should analyze the profit dilutive potential of fresh capital, he added, and try to balance it with profit increase. Capital increase, he said, also needs to be matched by an increase in loans, or it will be a cost to the bank.
The bank has a plan to increase its loan disbursements annually, according to Amerga. The total outstanding loan of the bank has reached 3.7 billion Br, which has shown an increase of 34.1pc compared with the previous year.

Out of the loans disbursed last fiscal year, the manufacturing sector took the largest share of 23pc, followed by the building and construction sector which absorbed 18.5pc.
The five year NBE bill that NIB purchased for 2011/12 has also increased by 648 million Br in 2011/12, jumping to 1.211 billionBr.All private banks operating in the country have to purchase three per cent interest bearing bonds amounting to 27pc of each loan they advance, according to the central bank directive issued last week.
The investment in the NBE bill represents 14.63pc of the total assets and 20.75pc of the total deposits of the bank.
Various liquidity ratios indicate that NIB’s liquidity has dropped. The cash and bank balances proportion to total assets has declined to 33pc from 48.4pc and its proportion to total liabilities has plunged to 39.2pc from 56.2pc.
If the amount continues at this level, NIB may face difficult times ahead, according to Abdulmena. NIB should focus on medium and long term loans to reduce the amount of funds that go to NBE bonds, he advises the bank.
“The government has introduced the NBE bill in order to finance long term projects that have benefits for the country, and we will support its policy” Amerga said.
The bank had collected 680.7 million Br in deposits last fiscal year, improving by 13.2pc from the 2010/11. The bank has opened six branches during the year, according to its annual report, in response to stiff competition among banks for deposits. Its loan to deposit ratio has also jumped from 51.43 pc to 61.8pc.
From the non interest earning activities, foreign currency dealings have dropped by 24.5pc, even worse than the performance in 2009/10, the year before devaluation and the windfall revenue that ensued.
But Amerga says thatEthiopiabeing a net importer, the decline is more of a national problem.

Items in AFP with MESH term: Prognosis
ABSTRACT: Fulminant, potentially life-threatening infection is a major long-term risk after splenectomy or in persons who are functionally hyposplenic as a result of various systemic conditions. Most of these infections are caused by encapsulated organisms such as pneumococci, Haemophilus influenzae and meningococci. A splenectomized patient is also more susceptible to infections with intraerythrocytic organisms such as Babesia microti and those that seldom affect healthy people, such as Capnocytophaga canimorsus. Most patients who have lost their spleens because of trauma are aware of their asplenic condition, but some older patients do not know that they are asplenic. Other patients may have functional hyposplenism secondary to a variety of systemic diseases ranging from celiac disease to hemoglobinopathies. The identification of Howell-Jolly bodies on peripheral blood film is an important clue to the diagnosis of asplenia or hyposplenia. Management of patients with these conditions includes a combination of immunization, antibiotic prophylaxis and patient education. With the increasing prevalence of antibiotic-resistant pneumococci, appropriate use of the pneumococcal vaccine has become especially important.
Treatment of Plantar Fasciitis - Article
ABSTRACT: Plantar fasciitis is a common cause of heel pain in adults. The disorder classically presents with pain that is particularly severe with the first few steps taken in the morning. In general, plantar fasciitis is a self-limited condition. However, symptoms usually resolve more quickly when the interval between the onset of symptoms and the onset of treatment is shorter. Many treatment options exist, including rest, stretching, strengthening, change of shoes, arch supports, orthotics, night splints, anti-inflammatory agents and surgery. Usually, plantar fasciitis can be treated successfully by tailoring treatment to an individual's risk factors and preferences.
ABSTRACT: Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in women, as well as an important cause of disability, although many women and their physicians underestimate the risk. Exercise, hypertension treatment, smoking cessation and aspirin therapy are effective measures for the primary prevention of coronary artery disease in women. The roles of lipid-lowering agents and hormone replacement therapy in primary prevention are not well established. In secondary prevention, hormone replacement therapy has not been effective in lowering the risk of recurrent myocardial infarction, but several lipid-lowering agents have been shown to reduce this risk and to lower mortality rates in women with known coronary artery disease. Other secondary prevention measures, including aspirin, beta blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, revascularization and rehabilitation, have proven benefits in women but are underused, especially in minority women. Family physicians should emphasize the use of proven treatments, with particular attention given to underserved populations.
ABSTRACT: People with valvular heart disease are living longer, with less morbidity, than ever before. Advances in surgical techniques and a better understanding of timing for surgical intervention account for increased rates of survival. Echocardiography remains the gold standard for diagnosis and periodic assessment of patients with valvular heart disease. Generally, patients with stenotic valvular lesions can be monitored clinically until symptoms appear. In contrast, patients with regurgitant valvular lesions require careful echocardiographic monitoring for left ventricular function and may require surgery even if no symptoms are present. Aside from antibiotic prophylaxis, very little medical therapy is available for patients with valvular heart disease; surgery is the treatment for most symptomatic lesions or for lesions causing left ventricular dysfunction even in the absence of symptoms.
ABSTRACT: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is present in 2 to 4 percent of children between 10 and 16 years of age. It is defined as a lateral curvature of the spine greater than 10 degrees accompanied by vertebral rotation. It is thought to be a multigene dominant condition with variable phenotypic expression. Scoliosis can be identified by the Adam's forward bend test during physical examination. Severe pain, a left thoracic curve or an abnormal neurologic examination are red flags that point to a secondary cause for spinal deformity. Specialty consultation and magnetic resonance imaging are needed if red flags are present. Of adolescents diagnosed with scoliosis, only 10 percent have curves that progress and require medical intervention. The main risk factors for curve progression are a large curve magnitude, skeletal immaturity and female gender. The likelihood of curve progression can be estimated by measuring the curve magnitude using the Cobb method on radiographs and by assessing skeletal growth potential using Tanner staging and Risser grading.
Dermatomyositis - Article
ABSTRACT: Dermatomyositis is an idiopathic inflammatory myopathy with characteristic skin manifestations. Although the disorder is rare, with a prevalence of one to 10 cases per million in adults and one to 3.2 cases per million in children, early recognition and treatment are important ways to decrease the morbidity of systemic complications. An association with other connective tissue disorders (overlap syndrome) and malignancy make this diagnosis particularly important to primary care physicians. Patient management includes careful evaluation for underlying malignancy and liberal use of physical therapy, antihistamines, sunscreen and oral corticosteroids. Poor prognostic indicators include poorly responsive disease, delay in diagnosis and the presence of malignancy. The therapeutic goal is to maintain function and prevent or minimize sequelae.
Vulvar Cancer - Article
ABSTRACT: Vulvar cancer was reported in 3,200 women in 1998, resulting in 800 deaths. Recent evidence suggests that vulvar cancer comprises two separate diseases. The first type may develop from vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia caused by human papillomavirus infection and is increasing in prevalence among young women. The second type, which more often afflicts older women, may develop from vulvar non-neoplastic epithelial disorders as a result of chronic inflammation (the itch-scratch-lichen sclerosus hypothesis). Although vulvar cancer is relatively uncommon, early detection remains crucial given its significant impact on sexuality. Diagnosis is based on histology; therefore, any suspicious lesions of the vulva must be biopsied. Excisional or punch biopsy can be performed in the physician's office. Clinicians must closely monitor suspicious lesions because delayed biopsy and diagnosis are common. Once diagnosed, vulvar cancer is staged using the TNM classification system. Treatment is surgical resection, with the goal being complete removal of the tumor. There has been a recent trend toward more conservative surgery to decrease psychosexual complications.
Preoperative Cardiac Risk Assessment - Article
ABSTRACT: Heart disease is the leading cause of mortality in the United States. An important subset of heart disease is perioperative myocardial infarction, which affects approximately 50,000 persons each year. The American College of Cardiology (ACC) and American Heart Association (AHA) have coauthored a guideline on preoperative cardiac risk assessment, as has the American College of Physicians (ACP). The ACC/AHA guideline uses major, intermediate, and minor clinical predictors to stratify patients into different cardiac risk categories. Patients with poor functional status or those undergoing high-risk surgery require further risk stratification via cardiac stress testing. The ACP guideline also starts by screening patients for clinical variables that predict perioperative cardiac complications. However, the ACP did not feel there was enough evidence to support poor functional status as a significant predictor of increased risk. High-risk patients would sometimes merit preoperative cardiac catheterization by the ACC/AHA guideline, while the ACP version would reserve catheterization only for those who were candidates for cardiac revascularization independent of their noncardiac surgery. A recent development in prophylaxis of surgery-related cardiac complications is the use of beta blockers perioperatively for patients with cardiac risk factors.
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome - Article
ABSTRACT: Acute respiratory distress syndrome is a manifestation of acute injury to the lung, commonly resulting from sepsis, trauma, and severe pulmonary infections. Clinically, it is characterized by dyspnea, profound hypoxemia, decreased lung compliance, and diffuse bilateral infiltrates on chest radiography. Provision of supplemental oxygen, lung rest, and supportive care are the fundamentals of therapy. The management of acute respiratory distress syndrome frequently requires endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation. A low tidal volume and low plateau pressure ventilator strategy is recommended to avoid ventilator-induced injury. Timely correction of the inciting clinical condition is essential for preventing further injury. Various medications directed at key stages of the pathophysiology have not been as clinically efficacious as the preceding experimental trials indicated. Complications such as pneumothorax, effusions, and focal pneumonia should be identified and promptly treated. In refractory cases, advanced ventilator and novel techniques should be considered, preferably in the setting of clinical trials. During the past decade, mortality has declined from more than 50 percent to about 32 to 45 percent. Death usually results from multisystem organ failure rather than respiratory failure alone.
ABSTRACT: Eating disorders, particularly anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa, are significant causes of morbidity and mortality among adolescent females and young women. Eating disorders are associated with devastating medical and psychologic consequences, including death, osteoporosis, growth delay, and developmental delay. Prompt diagnosis is linked to better outcomes. A good medical history is the most powerful tool. Simple screening questions, such as "Do you think you should be dieting?" can be integrated into routine visits. Physical findings such as low body mass index, amenorrhea, bradycardia, gastrointestinal disturbances, skin changes, and changes in dentition can help detect eating disorders. Laboratory studies can help diagnose these conditions and exclude underlying medical conditions. The family physician can play an important role in diagnosing these illnesses and can coordinate the multidisciplinary team of psychiatrists, nutritionists, and other professionals to successfully treat patients with eating disorders. | <urn:uuid:1092571f-6af9-49be-99db-fe068e1ea457> | CC-MAIN-2014-52 | http://www.aafp.org/afp/viewRelatedDocumentsByMesh.htm?meshId=D011379 | 2014-12-21T05:33:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-52/segments/1418802770718.139/warc/CC-MAIN-20141217075250-00047-ip-10-231-17-201.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.928054 | 2,116 |

Sticking to my blog theme, if this was a real bowl with one serve of rice inside, considering the cold weather, you’d get a dry, slightly moldy chunk of waste.
What a waste.
I’m not ready for a long post today. Any normal bloggers would want to boast their holiday trips with photos and stories attached to them. I’d love to do the same, but I’m just not ready yet. Not when there are so many things in the back of my mind that demand more attention.
I’ve been away for 3 weeks to attend my best friend and maid of honour’s wedding in Jakarta, and continued my trip to Thailand for 6 nights with my parents. Though without my brother, who refused to come along because he’s got his own wedding to prepare, a family trip is always treasured. My dad is not a traveller, he’d dig his heels so deep in the ground whenever we plan to go somewhere outside his regular visiting countries. Luckily, Thailand falls under his regular category. I’ve been there once when I was 14, and hubby never visited Thailand yet, so we decided that while Dad’s got time to spend with us, we’d take it.
And now, back to reality, to the struggle of everyday life.
This is where I found a bit funny. I’m assuming that to most writers, writing excites them. True writers can’t NOT writing, they just have to write. I love writing, too. But now I started to feel that writing, or blogging, frightens me. Why? Because blogging demands me to be honest. With myself, first of all. Because I can’t write stuff that are not from my life experience. And sometimes it is so damn hard to be honest with yourself, because there are times when you don’t want to think about all those things, when you don’t want to accept it. And once you write them down, they become real. And you’ll have nowhere to run.
That’s why sometimes writing depressed me. Because I can see how dry I am, how empty I’ve been, how resourceless I am. The fear and doubt of going through everyday is bordering to unbearable at times.
You called me to write, Daddy, and I still believe in Your plan. But I just can’t figure out how I would inspire others through my writings if I am hanging dry myself. I can’t stand not writing, but whenever I sit on The Chair and start writing, I can’t think of anything else but lamenting on my life. And I know that’s not right. But where should I go? What should I do? What shall I do when one thing that I love doing scares the life out of me now? | <urn:uuid:03ca9d7e-dd5c-4c48-9b58-c12d5acef727> | CC-MAIN-2019-04 | http://oneredbowl.com/2012/06/dry/ | 2019-01-19T04:39:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-04/segments/1547583662124.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20190119034320-20190119060320-00347.warc.gz | en | 0.958353 | 605 |

A simple card
This card is what I first made when I finally got my shipment. We moved to Spain a couple of months ago and I felt lost without my crafts supplies, and when I got my things and managed to open all of the boxes....I created this simple card saying Hola!
The base is just some patterned paper and stickers for the letters. And the small embellishment I made is a piece of self adhesive Textile Circles (by Technique Tuesday) which I inked, stamped and mounted. Then added some faux stitching with a marker. I also decorated the inside with the same papers, but I didn't add any sentiment to leave it for any occasion. | <urn:uuid:2b150601-1951-4e09-ba61-76f81426aa3c> | CC-MAIN-2018-17 | http://margabriela.blogspot.com/2010/05/simple-card.html | 2018-04-27T00:41:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-17/segments/1524125948738.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20180427002118-20180427022118-00632.warc.gz | en | 0.969046 | 139 |
I wanted a master system that would force me to do all the things I needed to do on a daily basis to achieve all my goals and keep me from quitting. I use what I have called a Weekly Habit Worksheet. Here is an illustration of one similar to the one I use:
As you can see I list all of my daily tasks in the order they will happen and I have check boxes under the day(s) they should happen. Every line item is a habit that I want to perform on a regular basis.
They are not always daily habits. For example I only trim my nails, beard, ears and nose once a week. Ears and Nose? Yeah, I'm getting old.
Just about every item has been forgotten at one time or another before using the Habit Worksheet. Some weren't being done at all, like the trimming of the ears and nose. (Eewww!)
Now I remember to do everything on every day and it keeps me focused on doing the mundane little things that just make life a little better as well as the monumental goals I have set for myself. After viewing it you may ask how it keeps me working on really big goals. It really doesn't list out things a person might be trying to accomplish like building wealth, increasing education or losing weight. The Habit Worksheet is only one document in a complete system. Other documents I use include:
A goals list which is viewed when I Review OneNote Goals (W, M, Q). W=Weekly, M=Monthly and Q=Quarterly in case you were wondering. OneNote is a Microsoft product that is really cool! Click the link to check it out. All of the documents I list here are in OneNote and get reviewed when I do this one habit.
A Planning Calendar which shows upcoming appointments, birthdays, and events.
My weight management plan which is super simple and working very well. I'll blog on this later.
My vehicle maintenance plan. I also have habits to check mileage on our vehicles every Saturday. I can then schedule routine maintenance when needed. I have a separate entry for my wife's Jeep because she leaves early for work on Saturday mornings so I check the mileage before she leaves the house.
I have an ideas list. I review this when I do the Review cell phone recordings habit. My cell phone has a voice recorder and I'm constantly recording an idea when it pops into my head. I place these ideas into my ideas list. I have a one hour commute and am often thinking of new blog posts when I'm not listening to an audiobook.
My financial plan which is really Dave Ramsey's financial plan. I do have some tips and stuff that I list to help squeeze out every dollar while doing my six baby steps of the Total Money Makeover. I am now constantly challenging our budget and habits to see how I can speed up my makeover. I'll blog some of these things in a later post.
So I have processes and plans in place to
- Be my ideal weight (and stay there for good this time!)
- Be safe, debt-free and then mega-rich
- Be a great father, husband, relative, in-law, friend and employee (and eventually business owner/employer)
- Be generous and help others
- Hopefully go to Heaven when it's all over
If life is worth living then it's worth living with Excellence. Whether you live it with excellence is entirely up to you. Have a great day! | <urn:uuid:4d614a1d-eca7-424c-ab4b-b716e7b26948> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://thedailydiscipline.blogspot.com/2008/03/ultimate-habit.html | 2016-10-22T06:58:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988718840.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183838-00119-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.963091 | 723 |
Arm-twisting Manmohan Singh!
Our surfer wonders if there is a political angle to our PM's "wristy" woes.india Updated: Jun 03, 2006 17:15 IST
The news the Prime Minister had got his wrists operated at fairly short intervals created sort of panic unseen in recent years. Both the South and North blocks were agog with concern and despair and wore "What Next?" expression on their collective eyebrows. Years before, Congressmen were afflicted with similar "After Nehru, Who?" disability.
They knew PM's hands were tied most of the time, but he had to undergo wrist surgery to become free again? Unthinkable. But that's how it is in Delhi.
The PM's spokesman was most courteous when I landed at his office to get details about the gut-wrenching wrist job.
"How did it happen? How did he manage to get both the wrists un-operable at the same time?" I asked.
"Correction. It was the right wrist that got twisted earlier. This was when President Bush visited India. The US President was very enthusiastic about his India visit after the plunging poll rates forced him to flee Washington. Encouraged with the great reception he got, he started pumping PM's hand for quite sometime and repeated it for the Indian and foreign media. That twisted his right wrist."
"Did it also cause an increase of pressure on the wrist?"
"No. That happened later when Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice shook his hands before he went to sign the nuclear deal. By that time, the Americans had twisted his arm substantially that put pressure on the nerve ending at his wrist. He signed the deal quickly without even glancing, and asked Kakodkar not to ask too many questions. Naturally, he didn't want to aggravate the injury by signing any corrections to the original draft."
"These nitty-gritties are so revealing. What happened with the left wrist?"
"Obviously the Left party was not going to keep quiet after Americans ran away with the nuclear deal. 'The Office of Profit' thing snowballed to such an extent, even the UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi had to run for cover and face re-election. The speaker of the Lok Sabha, though does not belonging to any party, is basically of Leftist pedigree and he had to be rescued likewise, because of his Rabindra Bharati connections. That's when the Left started meeting the PM daily, and since he couldn't use his right hand, they started their 'left hand' treatment. With so many Left leaders applying pressure on Shantiniketan Affair, soon his left wrist too gave away."
"So tragic! Political pressures could be so complicated and nervy, no wonder so many are running to Baba Ramdev to learn acupuncture! One last question. Why did he get his wrists operated at Army Research and Referral Hospital? Any particular reason?"
"Actually two junior doctors who have just become orthopedic surgeons offered to do surgery! Because of the anti-quota strike against reservations, the HRD Minister Arjun Singh advised the PM to get it done only at Army Hospital. That's how we had to say 'No' even to directors of AIIMS and LNJP hospitals!"

About orthopaedic surgeons
An orthopaedic surgeon is a medical doctor who has spent at least an extra seven years studying and developing skills to treat injuries and diseases of the musculoskeletal system - the bones, joints, muscles and ligaments.
Paediatric orthopaedic surgeons are orthopaedic surgeons who have completed extra training and specialise in the treatment of children, from babies through to teenagers.
Why your child might see an orthopaedic surgeon
Your child might see an orthopaedic surgeon for:
- problems like fractures, infections, arthritis or limping
- abnormalities like scoliosis, club foot and uneven leg length
- significant knock knee or in-toeing
- hip conditions like developmental dysplasia of the hip or Perthes disease.
An orthopaedic surgeon can give you advice and look at the best way to treat your child's health problems or injury.
Treatment of childhood musculoskeletal problems can range from simple observation and reassurance, to more involved treatments. These might include orthotics - for example, braces, splints and supports - or even surgery.To see an orthopaedic surgeon, your child will need a referral from your GP or another medical specialist - for example, a paediatrician. In more urgent situations - for example, when a child suffers a fracture - an emergency department doctor might refer your child. Your GP or other medical specialist can help you decide about seeing an orthopaedic surgeon and help you find someone who's right for your child.
Before going to an orthopaedic surgeon
Before seeing the orthopaedic surgeon, it's a good idea to find out some information about the following:
- Why you're going to the orthopaedic surgeon: talk with your GP about why your child needs to see an orthopaedic surgeon and whether there's anything you can do while you're waiting for the appointment.
- Waiting list: how long before you can get an appointment to see the orthopaedic surgeon?
- Making an appointment: it might take you more than one phone call to make an appointment.
- Cost: how much will the appointment with the orthopaedic surgeon cost? It might be expensive, so you could check whether you can get a Medicare, private health insurance or other rebate.
- Location: find out where you have to go to see the orthopaedic surgeon - for example, a public or private hospital or consulting rooms. You might have to travel further than you expect, depending on your child's needs.
You can talk about these things and any other questions you have with your GP before you go to the orthopaedic surgeon. You could also ask the orthopaedic surgeon's clinic when you make your appointment. It's a good idea to write down any questions you have, so you don't forget. | <urn:uuid:5d076aad-d95d-432e-8a7e-3c216195f96e> | CC-MAIN-2022-27 | https://ug.guastavinovaulting.com/608-orthopaedic-surgeon.html | 2022-07-06T18:38:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-27/segments/1656104676086.90/warc/CC-MAIN-20220706182237-20220706212237-00293.warc.gz | en | 0.925652 | 625 |
