Managed services player Digi International has expanded its distribution agreement with Arrow Electronics to cover the global market.
The companies had previously had an agreement addressing the North American region but will now be able to service large multinational projects.
“This extension to our relationship supports Arrow's strategy to offer the very best products and services to its global customer base,” said David West, vice president of semiconductor marketing for Arrow (Englewood, CO, USA). “Digi [Minnetonka, MN, USA] offers end-to-end M2M solutions, from embedded products to cloud solutions, that enable customers to remotely manage all machines in their system.”
“Having access to the right mix of products and services is a leading advantage for anybody working to create M2M systems,” he added.
A statement released by Digi indicates that Arrow will distribute its embedded products as well as its Device Cloud by Etherion platform, which is designed to let any device communicate with any application anywhere in the world.
“This agreement is a great opportunity to raise awareness of Internet of Things and M2M around the world,” said Kevin Riley, the senior vice president of global sales for Digi.
“We believe this extension of our relationship will greatly strengthen our international reach, offering our joint clients the technology and services they require to build innovative products.” | <urn:uuid:337f01a5-7230-49ee-8dde-4fb4302dfbb7> | CC-MAIN-2014-23 | http://www.telecomengine.com/article/digi-signs-global-distribution-agreement-arrow-electronics | 2014-07-24T08:24:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-23/segments/1405997888216.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20140722025808-00148-ip-10-33-131-23.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.963483 | 289 |

Good God this show is depressing.
It's fun to look at dead bodies and blood and guts a little bit, but then you throw in all the nihilistic conversation and abandoned long distance hikers and by the end of the episode you're just like ._.
This episode was kind of a departure from the norm because it didn't really address the Woodbury-Prison storyline at all, and it really only featured four characters: Rick, Carl, Michonne and ... Morgan! Oh, and that hippie hitchhiker guy.
We can finally scratch "Where are Morgan and Duane?" off of the "Lingering questions" list!
Answer: Duane was the victim of zombofilicide and Morgan has gone off of the deep end.
Morgan did look pretty cool wearing that body armor and tinted motorcycle helmet though.
OK, for the more casual viewers out there: Morgan and Duane Jones met Rick Grimes in the very first episode of the entire series. And we haven't seen him since then ... until tonight. So it's kind of a big deal.
This episode was a little heavy on the dialog side, but I was kind of digging the riffing going on between Morgan and Rick.
I could imagine a community college philosophy professor sitting in the background on a desk just nodding and nodding like "Yes you guys! Yes!"
Morgan basically says that life is sh!t and Rick offers to bring him back into the fold even though they tried to kill each other. I don't want to speak for Rick, but you could kind of see what was going on in his dome this episode. Reuniting with Morgan gave him a little link to his non-insane past, and he also saw how insane Morgan was ("You were wearing dead people's faces!"), which told him that maybe no one has their kaka totally together, and maybe that's normal.
Or as Seal so eloquently put it: we're never gonna survive unless we go a little....
Anyway, Morgan politely declines Rick's invitation — cleverly deducing from his old friend's gun lust that a dangerous brawl was about to go down — and goes to incinerate zombie carcasses on his killing floor.
With all that fun stuff going on in King County, can you really blame him for not wanting to go hang out in a prison?
P.S. King County is the town that Rick and Shane lived and worked in before all the trouble started. I didn't realize they were still that close?
The entire episode wasn't just about Morgan and Rick's reunion.
Michonne and Carl also go on a little sidequest for Carl to get some presents for baby sister Judith.
During the trip, Michonne uses her ninja skills to nab the Grimes family photo and some garish cat sculpture, and in the process ingratiates herself to little Carl.
Carl later tells Rick "I think she might be one of us."
I read that as "I want her to be my new mommy" so now it's time for Rick to start macking.
As Rick, Carl and Michonne head back to the prison in the Hyundai, they pass the mutilated corpse of the screaming man who had been trying to flag them down at the beginning of the episode.
They wouldn't stop for him then, or even acknowledge his existence, but now they'll stop: to pilfer his Jansport.
One of the strangest attempts at humor ever on The Walking Dead
When Michonne does her little stealthy ninja bit to retreive the Grimes Olan Mills photo, she also produces this unusual, rainbow wooden statuette thing of a cat arching its back.
And then, as a way of explaining that her motivation wasn't entirely to do Carl a solid, she says that the hideous cat statue was "just too damn gorgeous."
WTF!? What is she going to do with that monstrosity? Anything other than lob it into the air and chop the heck out of it with her Genji Blade before it hits the ground is simply unacceptable.
Second place: At the end of the episode Rick says to Michonne "Do you wanna drive? Good, 'cause I see things." It got a little chuckle, but it was kind of like that moment at the end of a sitcom where they refer to something silly that happened earlier in the episode.
Another pretty good bit was when Michonne just started snacking on Morgan's granola (that sounds really dirty) and Rick was like "we're eating his food now?" Michonne just goes "the mat said welcome." I chortled.
Reintroducing Lennie James
Morgan is played by actor Lennie James. Lennie is British and has also been in a bunch of other TV shows, including Jericho, and the movie Snatch. He's a pretty sick actor. Remember when he was like "You said you would turn on your radio every day at dawn and you were NOT THERE!" That was awesome. Good to have you back Lennie.
Did you know?
- According to AMC Story Sync, Morgan has 26 assault rifles, one sniper rifle, 22 hunting rifles, 10 shotguns, 48 grenades, one crossbow, 10 semi-automatic handguns and four hunting long bows. (Now I'm not one of these pacifist hippies, but doesn't that seem excessive for one man? I mean, do you really need 50 rifles to kill a zombie?)
- "King County" was actually Grantville, GA
- Morgan was supposed to come back last season, but according to Talking Dead, actor Lennie James was just too busy...
Did you notice?
- King County downtown is at the 51-mile marker of something...
- There is a sign in the police office that says "Take home weapons can not be stored in vehicles trunks."
- There was a green grasshopper on the brick wall when they arrived at King County!
- Among the businesses they walked past was McKee Heating and Air Conditioning. There is an actual business by that name in Grantville, GA. Apparently Mark McKee treats his customers like they are family.
- That ax trap that Morgan set seems to have worked recently, because it was covered in fresh blood! Who did it work on, a zombie or a man?
- Rick's old house was on Morgan's map of town, and it was listed as "Taken" and then "Burnt out."
- At one point when Rick was talking to Morgan his British accent slipped out. He said "You can" and it sounded like "You cahh-nnn" like he was Austin Powers.
- The sign alongside the highway at the beginning said "Erin, we tried for Stone Mountain, -J" Then later some zombie has a bracelet on that says "Erin." Was J the hiker guy? My joke is that from the looks of all the feathers and beads on that sign they were trying for "stoned" mountain. Hah!
Morgan's mad scrawlings
I'm not going to go back and write down everything Morgan wrote on his walls in his apartment because if I did, I'd go insane (ROFL!) But here are a few of the things he wrote around town:
- AWAY WITH YOU
- NO GUILT YOU KNOW THAT
- TURN AROUND AND LIVE
- JUST LISTEN
- THIS WAY ASSHOLE
- SAME ENDING
- NOT SHITTING YOU
- DUANE TURNED
The Finer Things, Steve Winwood
Come As You Are, Nirvana
Caring is Creepy, The Shins
Incinerate, Sonic Youth
Where Eagles Dare, The Misfits
How It Is, Biohazard
Symptom of the Universe, Black Sabbath
Morgan: "I don't know anyone anymore! You go clear!"
Morgan: "Please! Please kill me!"
Rick: "I'm Rick Grimes, you know me. I'm not wearing a dead man's face."
Morgan: "Your boy, is he dead? No? He will be."
Morgan: "The weaker people, like me, we have inherited the earth."
Michonne: "I can't stop you, but you can't stop me from helping you."
Morgan: "You will be torn apart by teeth or bullets, you and your boy, your people, but not me!"
Morgan: "I have to clear."
Carl: "I had to shoot you, you know I had to right? I'm sorry."
Michonne: "I know you see things, people. I used to talk to my dead boyfriend. It happens."
What everyone is up to
Rick: Shaking off the cobwebs.
Michonne: Fondling bullets and giving Rick the eyes.
Carl: Being more of a father to Judith than Rick ever was!
Morgan: Acting batty.
Backpacker: Trying to befriend strangers by running at them and screaming maniacally.
Best zombie kill
When Michonne impaled that one through the forehead. It was about to tell Carl to stop dancing on the bar. It had a really perfect crew cut. I guess a zombie's hair stops growing when it dies, but wouldn't its hair be more mussed up? When I get a crew cut it looks worse than that just after two days of rolling around in bed and wearing hats.
There was that one shuffling around near Morgan's traps in King County that had the sickest washboard abs. It had like a size 22 waist, like Ravishing Rick Rude.
There was also one that stumbled out of the walk-in freezer at the King County Cafe. It was all dry and dirty, it looked like it had been rolling around in flour or got buried by a bunch of kids at Rehoboth Beach and just stayed there for five years.
Zombies: Nine, for 190 on the season.
Humans: One, the raving Sunny Surplus shopping spree man, for 29 on the season.
- How do Milton's inventions work?
- What is Morgan going to do with himself in King County?
- Why didn't the Governor have a scout near the prison who could have told him that three of its best fighters (Rick, Carl and Michonne) had just gone on a daytrip, and that it was a good time to attack?
- Who would win in a fight: The Blair Witch, or the zombies?
A look ahead to next week's episode, "Arrow on the Doorpost"
The Governor meets with Rick and is there for one thing only, their surrender. The heat is back on in the Woodbury vs. prison fight.Copyright © 2015, The Baltimore Sun | <urn:uuid:a7f7d949-b88e-41a0-bcf7-014c69810242> | CC-MAIN-2015-35 | http://www.baltimoresun.com/entertainment/bthesite/tv-lust/bal-the-walking-dead-recap-episode-312-clear-20130303-story.html | 2015-08-30T05:13:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-35/segments/1440644064869.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20150827025424-00183-ip-10-171-96-226.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.980809 | 2,234 |

That’s sarcasm, right?
No, it’s not. I’m still doing my research but at this point he seems to be the person making the most sense.

Check out this neat post about Google manual reviewers from Neil Patel on how to see if you have had any manual reviewers to your site?
Sounds like they either do spot checks or manual verifications at time to see if their algorithm is ranking quality posts properly for the right spots.
What if you don’t see any hits? You’re okay, they probably do only a small percentage of checks manually.
What about if you see some manual hits by Google? Then just make sure you’re up to date with your content, that its IS good in terms of providing your reader quality, and also try to check all the boxes of what Google wants. | <urn:uuid:92d317b1-f46b-4a56-a12b-9403c144c89a> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://blogbrains.com/google-analytic-search-auditors/ | 2023-12-09T17:30:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100942.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20231209170619-20231209200619-00878.warc.gz | en | 0.92807 | 137 |
Takfiris massacre civilians in southern Syria: Report
- Uploaded by grimghost on Jan 31, 2014
- Hits: 22
Witnesses say al-Qaeda-affiliated militants operating in Syria have massacred people of different religions as well as medical workers in a southern city last month. Residents in Syria's southern industrial city of Adra said Takfiri militants belonging to the al-Qaeda-affiliated al-Nursa Front and the so-called Jaysh al-Islam committed the massacre last December, the British daily Independent reported on January 28. According to the report, the al-Qaeda-linked militants went from house to house with a list of names, immediately killing or taking away 32 people of different religions, including Christians and Muslims, in the Syrian city. Survivors of the carnage said the foreign-backed militants had also killed doctors and nurses in a clinic and thrown bakery workers into their own ovens. Many al-Qaeda-linked groups like the al-Nusra Front and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) are operating in Syria. This is not the first time that such groups perpetrate grisly crimes against innocent civilians in the Arab state. Last October, Human Rights Watch (HRW) said extremist militants killed 190 civilians and held over 200 others hostage in Syria's western province of Latakia in August 2013 alone. Since the outbreak of the turmoil in Syria in March 2011, several video clips have been released showing the horrendous crimes committed by foreign-sponsored terrorists in the country. On December 19, 2013, Patriarch of the Church of Antioch, Gregory III Laham, said 1,000 Christians had been killed and over 450,000 of them displaced in Syria due to the violence, stressing that the crisis the turmoil "has tragically targeted all the Syrians with all of their sects." | <urn:uuid:690c4e31-015f-4c5f-81cd-18440258b9f4> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://www.disclose.tv/action/viewvideo/164530/Takfiris_massacre_civilians_in_southern_Syria_Report/ | 2015-07-04T22:06:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375096944.75/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031816-00293-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.962474 | 368 |
Nothing is certain. A caesura is a pause. It usually signifies something important or that a change is taking place. Our lives can be measured by the caesuras that occur. How we handle ourselves in these times defines who we are. I'm trying my best to handle things and this blog is my documentation.

Nope, Not Me!
As Karen and Brianne so kindly pointed out, my wording on the last two posts might make some think that I am the one expecting. It is not me, and hopefully no one is totally freaking out because they think I didn't tell them something! A friend is due in a couple of weeks and requested the hat and infant cocoon, so I am just working on them for her. | <urn:uuid:4896c816-8d0c-48ad-aeb3-1a4455fb84ea> | CC-MAIN-2017-17 | http://certaincaesura.blogspot.com/2009/11/nope-not-me.html | 2017-04-30T18:42:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-17/segments/1492917125841.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20170423031205-00208-ip-10-145-167-34.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.972111 | 157 |

On April 18th, my dad will turn 80. He doesn't look it, or act it, and I think that a big piece of what's kept him young has been his lack of sentimentality and his restlessness to figure out what the next interesting development would be. His career in the wine industry has spanned more than 50 years, and he has made contributions as a retailer, an importer, a wholesaler, and now, with Tablas Creek, as a vintner. I'm continually amazed by the various impacts he's had on how Americans buy, drink, and think about wine. At the same time, he's a private person, who is not comfortable promoting himself, and has remained relatively unknown to much of the American wine-buying public.
A quick thumbnail of his career for those of you who may not be aware:
- In the mid-1950s, he launched the first ever Bordeaux futures offering through M. Lehmann, his father's store in Manhattan (the store, now Sherry Lehmann, was sold by my grandfather in the late 1960s).
- He was an important early advocate for estate bottling in Burgundy, and introduced to the American market landmark producers such as Henri Gouges, Mongeard-Mugneret, Etienne Sauzet, and Ponsot, Dauvissat, and Louis Michel. Knowing that a wine was a "Robert Haas Selection" was many people's introduction to fine French wines.
- He first imported Beaucastel at a time when only 3 Châteauneuf-du-Pape producers were even estate bottling their wines.
- He built well known brands such as Marques de Caceres, Santa Rita, La Vieille Ferme, Louis Roederer and Warre's Port through his import company Vineyard Brands.
- He co-founded the wholesaler Winebow, which has itself expanded to also be one of America's leading importers.
- He was an early champion of California, and introduced some of California's most recognizable names to the national market. These producers included Chappellet, Freemark Abbey, Clos du Val, Joseph Phelps, Rutherford Hill, Hanzell, Kistler, and Sonoma-Cutrer.
- Most recently, through his partnership with the Perrin family and the current Tablas Creek project, he's had enormous influence on the growth in popularity of American Rhone varietals, organic viticulture, and the Paso Robles region.
A few years ago, Saveur and The Wine Enthusiast did retrospective pieces on his career, in conjunction with the 50th anniversary of his first wine buying trip to France. This year, I'm looking forward to articles in the San Francisco Chronicle, Wines & Vines, and the San Luis Obispo Tribune. This has been one of my goals for the year: to get people to know a little more about my dad, and to get a somewhat broader understanding of the path that he laid down that others have followed: importers like Neil Empson, Kermit Lynch and Robert Kacher; wine-focused distributors around the country; specialty retail shops (and producers) that sell a significant portion of their production through futures offerings; producers of Rhone varietals in the Central Coast and particularly Paso Robles; and wine lovers who value wines of place. It is this last contribution which I think is furthest-reaching: his consistent search for wines that reflect the place in which they are produced, made by winemakers whose winemaking respects that place. I have written earlier about how important we believe estate bottling is at Tablas Creek, but this has been an important (perhaps the most important) marker of quality for my dad for more than 50 years.
I didn't grow up in a world of wine dominated by negociants who made wines from lots of regions, from grapes (or wines) bought and blended. And I have my dad, in part, to thank for that. | <urn:uuid:ae1611ec-36bb-41b6-8e2c-a0f6b115ece7> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://tablascreek.typepad.com/tablas/2007/03/index.html | 2023-11-30T01:59:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100164.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20231130000127-20231130030127-00533.warc.gz | en | 0.97944 | 833 |
Do Dating Apps Affect Relationship Decision Making?
When Tinder became available to all smartphone users in , it ushered in a new era in the history of romance. It aimed to give readers the backstory on marrying couples and, in the meantime, to explore how romance was changing with the times. But in , seven of the 53 couples profiled in the Vows column met on dating apps. The year before, 71 couples whose weddings were announced by the Times met on dating apps. Dating apps originated in the gay community; Grindr and Scruff, which helped single men link up by searching for other active users within a specific geographic radius, launched in and , respectively. With the launch of Tinder in , iPhone-owning people of all sexualities could start looking for love, or sex, or casual dating, and it quickly became the most popular dating app on the market. But the gigantic shift in dating culture really started to take hold the following year, when Tinder expanded to Android phones, then to more than 70 percent of smartphones worldwide. Shortly thereafter, many more dating apps came online. But the reality of dating in the age of apps is a little more nuanced than that.

What Email Marketing Can Learn From Dating Apps
However, little is known about the concrete impact of consumers’ anticipatory emotions of possible outcomes — on consequent volition behaviours that are A sample of 93 real paying members registered on online dating.
Her job involves incorporating theory and academic research into customer analysis, building a conceptual framework for insights into online consumer behavior. The counter-intuitive truth is that Tinder actually provides users with all the information they need to make an informed first impression about a potential long-term mate. And it does so by matching our human evolutionary mechanism. Although we always ascribe our decisions to a rational, conscious-brain motivation, this supposed motivation is never the entire reason for our decisions; in fact, it often has nothing to do with it!
We like to think of ourselves as rational human beings that base our decisions on logical processes, but most of our decisions occur unconsciously and based on minimal information. Tinder exposes its users to two types of factors: rational Geographical Distance and Age and emotional Appearance and Requited Interest. Each of these factors makes a unique contribution to the decision making process. Geographical Distance — Research shows that the best single predictor of whether two people will develop a relationship is how far apart they live.
People are more likely to develop friendships with people who are nearby ex. An examination of marriage license applications in Philadelphia found that one third of the couples lived within five blocks of each other. Thus, geographical distance is a powerful predictor of the likelihood that two people will end up together. Age — People with little or no age difference have significantly more in common than those with a larger age difference.

Fashion apparel brands and retailers can take a nod from the paradox of choice: The range of dating choices presented online does not indicate increased difficulty in continuing a committed relationship, as the rate of commitment is largely the same among those who have dated online, at 44 percent, and those who have never dated online, at 42 percent.

Ryan dives into what makes the Tinder app so popular and engaging. Tinder , a hot new entrant in the world of online dating, is capturing the attention of millions of single hopefuls. The premise of Tinder is simple. After launching the Tinder mobile app and logging in with Facebook, users browse profiles of other men or women. Each potential match is presented as a card. Once both parties express interest, a match is made and a private chat connects the two potential lovebirds.
The Tinder app has become a fixture in the U. App Store as one of the top 25 social networking applications, generating 1. Tinder demands very little of the brain. Tinder reduces cognitive overhead into a binary decision: swipe left not interested or swipe right interested. Traditional dating sites provide several ways to express interest. OkCupid users can rate others stars, send a message, or start a chat. More options provide greater freedom of expression, but also introduce more mental effort.

Leveraging a massive dataset of over million potential matches between single users on a leading mobile dating application, we were able to identify numerous characteristics of effective matching. Effective matching is defined as the exchange of contact information with the likely intent to meet in person. The characteristics of effective match include alignment of psychological traits i.
For nearly all characteristics, the more similar the individuals were, the higher the likelihood was of them finding each other desirable and opting to meet in person. The only exception was introversion, where introverts rarely had an effective match with other introverts. Given that people make their initial selection in no more than 11 s, and ultimately prefer a partner who shares numerous attributes with them, we suggest that users are less selective in their early preferences and gradually, during their conversation, converge onto clusters that share a high degree of similarity in characteristics. | <urn:uuid:48cf0dd9-6d7a-4ec6-be08-7b55e77bb081> | CC-MAIN-2021-04 | https://elforsoft.ru/do-dating-apps-affect-relationship-decision-making/ | 2021-01-22T16:21:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-04/segments/1610703530835.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20210122144404-20210122174404-00657.warc.gz | en | 0.944974 | 2,004 |
Seen here in 1948, HMCS Warrior was the first aircraft carrier to be commissioned into the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN).
Between 1946 and 1948, the RCN used Warrior, originally built for Britain's Royal Navy, to gain experience with naval aviation. Operations soon revealed that Warrior was unsuited to the North Atlantic's cold climate without extensive modifications. While Warrior was the first aircraft carrier in the RCN, during the Second World War, the escort carriers HMS Nabob and HMS Puncher had largely Canadian crews, but remained ships in the Royal Navy.

Kenton Cool, interview after enchaining Nuptse, Everest and Lhotse
Interview with Englishman Kenton Cool after his ascent of Nuptse, Everest and Lhotse carried out between 18 and 20 May. The detailed account of this Himalayan triple and his point of view, as a mountain guide, about commerical expeditions and the crowds on Everest.
Kenton, Everest 11 times… the question arises spontaneously, are you chasing some sort of record or is it something else you're searching for on this mountain?
I’m definitely not chasing any records. It's a horrid thing to say about such a beautiful mountain, but Everest for me is work. I’m a Mountain Guide and that's what keeps taking me back to Everest.
For our most technical readers; can you provide a brief run of the enchainment?
I left BC on May 15th at about 5am and climbed to Camp 2 on Everest at 6300m. I spent a couple of hours there before I swung round to Camp 3 on Nuptse at approx 6800m. On May 16th I left Camp 3 at about 2 am and climbed Nuptse in approximately 10 hours, before descending back to Camp 2, arriving at approximately 17.45. I then left Camp 2 on May 17th at 08.00 and climbed to Camp 3 on Everest, and left this on May 18th to reach the South Col on Everest. I left the South Col at approximately 20.00 and climbed towards the summit of Everest, which I reached on May 19th at 01.45. I returned to the South Col at 04.00, slept for a couple of hours, then left at 10.00 for Camp 4 on Lhotse, arriving at approximately 12.00. The following morning, on May 20th, I left Camp 4 at 09.15 and reached the summit of Lhotse at approximately 13.00. I descended to Camp 2, and reached Base Camp the following day, on 21st of May. I used 2 bottles of supplementary oxygen on Everest and 1 bottle on Lhotse. Due to the fixed ropes on the mountains the equipment was fairly minimal: standard down suit, boots etc.
Pulling it off during the 60th anniversary, timing couldn't have been better!
The stars all came together for me it seems.
Do tell us more
I was very lucky with getting all three mountains fixed and having good weather. The trilogy is something I'd thought of a few years ago but never had the opportunity to try. This year, with my client not arriving due to personal and business reasons and the fact that Russel Brice wanted to fix Nuptse, it simply seemed like the prefect time to try and climb all three.
Fixed ropes on Nuptse… If we're not mistaken, this is the first time this has been done on this mountain...
I don’t think this was the first time, I believe Pete Athans and Co partially fixed the route in 1999, but I think this was the first time a commercial team had fixed it
Out of interest, we failed to find any information about you on either Nuptse or Lhotse previously. Had you climbed these before?
No, it was the first time for me. And very enjoyable, too!
What was the most difficult moment during the triple? And the most beautiful?
The most difficult was leaving Basecamp at the very beginning; I always hate that early start! The most beautiful was watching the stars on the summit of Everest with no one else around!
Where did you and Dorje Gylgen Sherpa meet the first climbers on your way down off Everest?
Just above the Hillary step, Jon and another friend of mine. After that I met another two friends of mine, Bill Crouse and Himanti, below the South summit.
What about that summit moment on Lhotse, the last of the trio? And that long, difficult descent?
Lhotse was a little disappointing in as much that I’ve wanted to climb it for a few years and I’ve always wanted to see the view. When I got to the top with Dorje, Mike Roberts and his Sherpa the cloud was sucked right in and we couldn’t see anything. This was pretty upsetting and not part of the plan, but that's mountaineering for you.
The descent was quick but arduous, Lhotse was super dry this year so there was plenty of loose rock around that we had to be careful of, but it's a straight up and down route so we were quickly back at Camp 4... from there though its a long way back to Camp 2 and then BC.
So tell us something about Dorje Gylgen Sherpa. Six times on Everest together. An ideal partner, surely!
He is fabulous. I first met him in 2007 and have worked with him every year since. He is super strong but, better than that, he has a great grasp about what makes me tick. I really enjoy spending time in his company, just chatting about all sorts of random things but often it comes back to family. Dorje has 2 daughters and a son, his son is the same age as my daughter so it's always fun comparing notes. I really wouldn’t have wanted to climb with anyone else on this little mission, my only regret was that Dorje was busy carrying a load to the South Col the day I climbed Nuptse so he wasn’t there with me. If I could alter one thing it would be that... he really deserved to be there!
After all the climbs you've done in the Greater Ranges, how do you rate these climbs personally?
I would have loved to have climbed Nuptse without the ropes but the fact it was fixed made the whole thing possible, so I shouldn’t really say that. I think Nuptse would make a great alpine style objective, I have often eyed it as I walked past on my way to Everest and watching Gerlinde and David climb it last year really made me want to climb the peak. I feel very lucky to have climbed all 3 in a season but I fully understand the help the fixed rope made; I hope one day someone will take the mantle from me and climb the hills without the rope or without using O2. I think I have simply shown the way and someone will quickly surpass my efforts.
You know Everest and the commercial expeditions better than most. What are your thoughts about the crowds on Everest?
The numbers were down on Everest this year, which is a good thing: there were less than 100 Western climbers on the North side and around 240 on the South side. That said, the total number of summits was similar to last year. I think the crowds of 2012 were something of an unfortunate occurrence, there were only a handful of good summit days so this pushed everyone into a funnel. BUT the industry cannot simply hope that this doesn’t happen again. Everest is still a honey pot mountain and people flock to her slopes each year, so the commercial teams will have to regulate the mountain somehow. This year, for the first time ever, we saw a 2nd fixed line put in at the Hillary step which is the big bottle neck. Luckly it didn’t have to be used, but it's a step forward. To have images like the ones we saw last year is not an option if the industry wants to continue to thrive.
An almost obligatory question concerning the unfortunate Sherpa affair with Moro, Steck and Griffith. You yourself have guided people to the summit of Everest, making use therefore of the Sherpa's expertise. Did this issue surprise you and, in your opinion, what can and should be done to avoid confrontations in the future?
I was surprised by this, especially by the fierce reaction by the Sherpas which is quite out of character. It would seem that the reaction outweighed the provocation, but then I suspect we will never get the whole story. I don’t think we will see a situation quite like that again, at least I hope not, having chatted to Ueli and the guys it sounded very nasty. I think it's a respect thing, in the mountains we need to respect all those around us, we all come from different backgrounds and egos can easily be dented. Perhaps this is what happened. What I do know is that fighting doesn’t have a place in the mountains.
How do you imagine Everest in the future?
I’d like to think Everest remains a focal point for climbers. I’m not sure if the bubble will remain as big in the future as it has the last few years, but it will always have a pull for people in the same way it did in the 20’s for the early expeditions. Everest is the highest and because of that it will always have a special place in the hearts of climbers.

Five teams will join Newcastle United FC and AZ Alkmaar in Friday's draw for the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup when their evenly-balanced Round of 16 ties are completed tonight. The eighth quarter-finalist will be known on Sunday when FC Steaua Bucuresti and Villarreal CF conclude their delayed tie.
Sporting Clube de Portugal, who hold a 3-2 first-leg lead over Middlesbrough FC, and AJ Auxerre, who have a 1-0 cushion against French rivals LOSC Lille Métropole, both have the added benefit of home advantage and start as favourites to advance.
Sporting also have the incentive of knowing that the final will be staged at their Estádio José Alvalade in Lisbon on 18 May and are desperate to make sure they not only host the match, but play in it too.
They will be without injured midfielders Custódio and Fabio Rochemback, and have put themselves under unnecessary pressure after allowing Middlesbrough to recover from 3-0 down last week to score two late goals. This has given the English side renewed hope even though they will be missing Michael Reiziger, Ray Parlour and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, the latest in a long line of injuries.
Auxerre also take a single-goal lead into the return leg of their all-Ligue 1 encounter at the Stade Abbé-Deschamps. Opponents Lille will need to rediscover that winning touch as they are without a domestic league victory since January. Auxerre, meanwhile, are struggling with injuries to playmaker Yann Lachuer and defenders Johan Radet and Younes Kaboul. Lille midfielder Jean Makoun is sidelined too.
While Sporting and Auxerre have edged ahead in their ties, the other three look perfectly poised. PFC CSKA Moskva and FK Partizan drew 1-1 in their first leg as did Real Zaragoza and FK Austria Wien, while Parma FC and Sevilla FC resume hostilities after a stalemate in Spain last week. That is also how it ended between Steaua and Villarreal in Wednesday's opening leg in Romania, ahead of Sunday's return.
The quarter-final draw will be held at UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland at 13.00CET on Friday. It is an open draw, so teams from the same country can face each other. The quarter-finals will be played on 7 and 14 April, and the semis on 28 April and 5 May.

According to PR firm Burston-Marsteller, the average U.S. CEO receives 3.4 invitations to speak at conferences per week. That works out to 175 conference invitations a year, which is more conferences than Marc Canter and David Hornik attend — combined.
Here are the conferences that top the list as being most influential for CEOs and C-level execs, according to respondents to the B-M survey:
What is most interesting about this list is how homogenous and, darn it, uninteresting it is.

Who’s the fittest of them all?
In a race between the departments of Admini-stration and Finance, time and pedometers will tell.
Case Western Reserve University’s Senior Vice President John Wheeler and Chief Financial Officer John Sideras playfully put on boxing gloves to launch the 10,000 Step Challenge that runs Nov. 1-30.
“We’re going to have some fun,” Sideras told employees during breakfast at Thwing Center to announce and explain one of the new programs in the university’s wellness plan.
Some 480 employees from the two departments are eligible to participate in the challenge to start walking 10,000 steps a day from Nov. 1 through the end of the month.
Eventually what is a friendly competition between two departments will go campuswide in early 2011, said Carolyn Gregory, vice president of human resources.
Each staff member was given a pedometer and told to begin wearing it to learn what his or her daily average steps are and, if needed, to boost those numbers.
While 10,000 steps may sound like climbing a mountain, it’s the amount of exercise needed to maintain health. Generally people log a few thousand steps in their normal routine. Some will have to supplement their numbers with several thousand more steps.

14 January 2016
Guys, first of all im really sorry bcs i’ve left this blog for quite a long time, especially those who are waiting for the next sequel of my turkey trip, im honestly sorry bcs im currently busy with my daily schedule. Oh yeah, for ur information im now a working lady ! Heheh but not that type of sitting in the conference room during stress corporate meeting while fingers gracefully typing on macbook, wearing posh high heels and nerdy spectacles with mind buzzed with business strategy. Naahhh inshaallah it will happen in 5 years i guess but NOW, im actually working as a clerk (i dont know a specific name for my job, clerk is accepted i guess) at my auntie’s tuition center. Many people thought i work as a teacher, no mann teaching is really not in my blood - erk :/
My job is basically taking students’ attendance eveyday, registering new students, managing tuition’s fee, photostatting stuffs, arranging the class schedule and last one, cleaning the classes. You know, sweeping the floor and arrange the table and chairs and making sure the switches are all turned off. Cliche but it was quite fun, i learned a lot of things during the period.. I teach myself to be responsible of my job, i forced myself to bring out the best of me in everything i did, i did mistakes, a lot but i always find solutions to avoid all the careless mistakes i did. And after all, i learned to always be grateful. The moment when i see some of the parents have to apologize bcs they weren’t able to pay tuition fee on time, my heart ached. Looking at their faces, i know they’ve worked so hard to earn living, to make sure their children can get the best education like the others, even though the parents have to sacrificed a bit. Ya allah, bless my parents :)
Working with auntie doesnt mean you are free to bring laptop during office hour, watching movies while enjoying maggi cup etc. Even though she is my aunt and we’re really close, but i still have to respect her as my boss. So whenever im at work, i didnt bring any gadgets that can distract my attention, bcs i have to be firm with myself. Work is work. And of course, i must give a full commitment so that when i get the salary, the satisfaction is higher and more barakah hihi. That’s why the twitter timeline is chaos when the clock strikes 11 pm. You know what i mean... And also, now, i appreciate being home so much more than i did before hhahaha
Well, i really have no idea on what to blog about even though my turkey stories arent finished yet (i dont think finishing them, let it locks as a beautiful memories in my mind).. Before writing this, i asked syahidah to give some ideas on what to blog about since i missed spilling out my thoughts here, my great escape. So she suggested me to write about her. Hahah and you know describing syahidah..its difficult bcs she’s such a complicated girl but in the other side, she’s my favourite person that im afraid to lose and have taken a special place in my heart, my ture friend and my soulmate. Of course i need to prepare my body and mind before writing about her bcs i dont want to miss any pieces of memories we’ve created together after all this time. Stay tuned babiesss.. And dont worry for those who keep urging me to continue the turkey stories, inshaallah i’ll writing soon whenever i miss them, and recently im pretty sure all of us hv heard the tragic incident in istanbul, my thoughts and prayers goes to those affected in the incident. Istanbul...my favourite city
And also today, im deeply saddened to hear of the passing of my beloved Alan Rickman who played Professor Snape. As a big harry potter fan there was no one better to play Snape. An amazing actor who will be dearly missed. Always. And yas, i will start my harry potter marathon soon in honour of Snape.
So its nearly 2 pm here and my eyes seems so heavy now and i can feel my back ached badly, i better off to sleep. Still working tomorrow, no weekends for this lady okayy pity me :(
Till next post inshaallah, assalamualaikum | <urn:uuid:02c3765a-4068-45a4-b070-c2f712aecaf6> | CC-MAIN-2018-30 | http://lilynis.blogspot.com/2016/01/sighs.html | 2018-07-15T18:55:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-30/segments/1531676588961.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20180715183800-20180715203800-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.945875 | 943 |
Lezyne Road Drive Cage - Alloy $25.00
Take a stand against carbon.
Compatible with the Road Drive Pump, the Lezyne Alloy Water Bottle smartly holds your H2O reserves and an emergency pump. CNC’d out of aluminum for a carbon-fiber-shunning shine, the alloy bottle cage securely retains water bottles without making it a P.I.T.A. to get them out.

This cage looks great and has the right amount of grip to hold water bottles, but make it super easy to grab. My only complaint is that the cage got in the way of itself when I tried to install it. Once secure, however, it has worked perfectly.

Brilliantly designed Al bottle cage
Holds a pump and a bottle, perfectly! Notice that the mounts are slightly elevated from the body of the cage. This makes it possible to install over a front derialleur clamp without the need for spacers. Comes with hex bolts, which is good since the bolts that came with my frame do not fit in this cage.
I use a lezyne road drive hand pump, which fits neatly behind the bottle with plenty of clearance for my foot/crank arm. Holds a camelbak podium bottle with ease.
Features and Flare
Looks great, works great! There is an awesome feature on the side to hold an air pump with included velcro strap. I use this one on the MTB, but do not use a pump for the holder on my road bike!
Kick ass product. I bought the black and silver. Works great, looks cool and doesn't destroy water bottles.- way cheaper than carbon fiber, just as functional
Road Drive Bottle Cage
This cage is super light and looks really cool. It also works very well with the Lezyne Road Drive pump. It just tucks away and you forget its there. Nice combo.

An Event Apart Relaunches–New Design, New Features
On Saturday, December 1st, 2012, An Event Apart quietly relaunched its website. You’re soaking in it. Some of the new site’s goals as articulated by the AEA client team would show up on the checklist of pretty much any site redesign: make it easier to use, enhance readability and remove clutter, shore up existing features and introduce new ones, and (most importantly) make it work well across a wide variety of networked devices. But there was more.
Goals and challenges
From the service front lines, An Event Apart’s Marci Eversole has long fielded phone calls from potential attendees who’ve had problems understanding the site, or using it to secure needed content. From unclear navigation labels to holes in our content strategy: if the site failed to fulfill a need, Marci has heard about it. The site redesign would need to solve these problems. Addressing them provided our initial UX and content strategy road map.
A new way was also needed to present cities and shows on the home page. In the site’s initial design by Jason Santa Maria, An Event Apart was a fledgling conference, hosting only a handful of events per year. The design was crafted for a business model that AEA quickly outgrew.
Even when Jeffrey Zeldman subsequently redesigned the site, AEA held four events annually, and the site’s fixed-width layout was optimized for that occurence as if it were a permanent condition. But AEA hosted seven events in 2012 and will run eight in 2013. The old grid, and the old way of showing events on the home page, needed a rethink. Contingency design and extensibility couldn’t just be something we preached; it had to be baked into the redesign, from concept to back-end implementation.
Two other goals of this site relaunch were more ambitious: 1.) become a destination site rather than simply a place to announce conference dates and sell tickets; and 2.) evolve An Event Apart’s brand, separating it from parent brand A List Apart and literary sibling A Book Apart.
Monkey Do Did
As partners in the site relaunch we chose Monkey Do, a small and super-smart NYC web design and development studio. Monkey Do’s motto, “Standards Driven, User Focused, Content Is King” accords with our way of thinking; we’ve long admired their projects (including HTML5 Reset) and client work; they’ve collaborated beautifully with Happy Cog on several projects; and one of us shares studio space with them, which meant that Monkey Do and An Event Apart could be in constant contact throughout the redesign. Not every agency and client can work in the same space, of course. But when personalities and work styles allow for it, this kind of constantly simmering collaboration can be a beautiful thing.
To showcase multiple events on the site’s front page and accommodate more or fewer events each year without requiring a redesign, Monkey Do created a responsive carousel that expands and contracts elegantly as the page is resized (or as new events are added). The carousel disappears on smaller screens, where it is replaced by a more straightforward presentation in a single or double column, depending on the width of the viewing screen. (The carousel also contains Easter Eggs, but we won’t spoil the surprise by describing them.)
Monkey Do developer Tim Murtaugh powered the responsive/disappearing carousel and addressed all our other content-first, multi-device usability concerns via RESS (Responsive Design + Server Side Components). Among other things, the RESS approach enables the responsive carousel to appear or disappear without forcing users of small networked devices to download components they won’t use.
Monkey Do designer Mike Pick began his brand update by modernizing and beefing up the typography on the AEA logo, walking away from the classical and literary qualities of the parent A List Apart brand, and choosing a typeface more commensurate with a multi-device conference. As Jason Santa Maria had previously done on the A Book Apart brand, Mike also changed the look of the AEA wreath bug. Where ALA, AEA, and ABA once shared the same typeface and the same wreath bug, now each brand has its own typographic flavor and its own wreath. (More will be evident when A List Apart relaunches in January.)
To update the brand and site experience, Mike threw out prior assumptions and dated elements (such as the once-mandatory sidebar) and focused on content first—designing a site that was not only easy but also pleasurable to read. Big type and strong visuals brought interest and readability to templates that had once been mere copy shells.
Take a typical News or video page. Because AEA was initially conceived as a place to advertise event dates and sell tickets, the design of our content pages got short shrift. Even when we began trying to turn AEA into more of a destination site by posting hour-long videos of some of our finest speakers delivering some of their best presentations, the traditional blog page template of our old site disinvited readability and fought our goal of turning AEA into an educational resource you can turn to and come back to. With big type and plenty of breathing room, big images and plenty of relevant content to view next, the new design finally gives us a platform to make AEA’s site as educational and fun as the events themselves. (Well, almost.) The new pages are also fun to play with on a desktop, using the old responsive drag-and-view.
The design team also reminagined how schedules and other information are presented on event pages (take Atlanta for instance) and what footers are good for (among other things, photo credits).
More to come
Please note: This is a site relaunch, not a shopping cart relaunch. The shopping cart runs on a different custom system created by Kevin Skoglund’s development firm Nova Fabrica. While the new site and the shopping cart have been integrated in terms of function, the shopping cart does not yet sport the new site’s look and feel, as you will surely notice if you shop for tickets in the next few weeks. Patience, Grasshopper.
Mike and Tim are writing articles to describe their design and technical challenges in greater detail, so although we could gush on, we’ll put a cork in this write-up for now. We hope you like the new AEA site. Let us know what you think by contacting us or via the Twitters and Facebook.

I’m moving my blog to Medium. Check it out here!
The first two weeks have gone by pretty quickly at MakerSquare. I’ve definitely been learning a lot and have constantly been challenged. To begin last week, we first reviewed some of the basics of Git, a version control system that allows us to keep track of and retrieve different iterations of our code. After that we got into data modeling in Ruby, specifically using arrays and hashes. We were also introduced to RSpec, a Ruby gem used for test driven development (TDD). A lot of emphasis was placed on how following the process for TDD is a very important concept and is an important discipline to learn for aspiring developers. Using RSpec, it quickly became clear how key TDD is. Without setting the expectations for what your code should do before writing it, you can run into many problems and the more code you write the more problems you’re likely to have. With TDD, you can take comfort in knowing that all the code you’ve written will work since you’re setting the expectations before writing the actual code. TDD also reinforces the Single Responsibility Principle. I was definitely guilty of often trying to create methods that attempted to do too much, but after testing my code constantly I’ve been writing simpler methods. To get familiarized with RSpec and TDD, we were first given a ruby file and and spec file with tests already written. Our job was to update the code to make all the tests pass. Not having to worry about how to write tests was helpful in gaining an understanding in what different tests were looking for. The next day, we worked on writing our own tests which helped us become more comfortable with the syntax needed for RSpec and how to write good tests. The first week also included our first lesson on algorithms and the big O. More important concepts were covered in that lesson, including the importance of being cognizant of the efficiency of our code and thinking about if our code can be refactored to use more efficient methods since time and space is not limitless. We ended the first week by beginning to work on a project called Puppy Breeder in which we were given a user story and asked to build out classes to fulfill the requirements. The Puppy Breeder project went on for more than a few days, which I’ll discuss in more detail in my Week 2 post!
It’s finally here. After weeks of anticipation, the first day of MakerSquare has arrived. I’m feeling a lot of different emotions – anticipation, nervousness, anxiety, but most of all excitement. Going through the first day, I’m getting a clearer sense of the types of things I’m expecting at the end of the course.
In preparation for class, my favorites parts of the prework were when the exercises called for building small applications, such as a Ruby application in which both people and banks could be created and deposits, withdrawals, and transfers of funds could be made. The instructors shared us with that the upcoming curriculum calls for a lot of project-based work. I’m very excited about building out more complete applications that are fully functional and having them in my portfolio to both showcase to potential employers and to have for inspiration for future projects.
Finally, a common theme throughout the day has been that us students should constantly ask questions and we should provide as much feedback as possible. Everyone at MakerSquare genuinely conveys the feeling that they want us to become great developers and that they want us to learn as much as possible. Because of this, I’m even more excited about the upcoming 12 weeks than I was at the beginning of the day and I can’t wait for Day 2.
I’ve spent my career working at big organizations. Deloitte is the largest professional services network in the world with over 200,000 employees. CNA’s size pales in comparison, but 7,000 employees is still a substantial figure. With my upcoming change in career fields, I’m hoping for my next job to be at a much smaller company, potentially even at a startup. Given my previous experiences in corporate America, I believe I’d find greater satisfaction working for a smaller company. Shaan Shah’s thoughts about the tech and startup scene is a great first-hand account about the positive aspects of those areas and was one of the contributing factors in my desire to change careers. While there are indeed many advantages to working for such large companies (benefits, stability, brand recognition, etc.), there are also distinct drawbacks, especially early in your career when you have to spend time moving up the chain to a position with greater responsibility. Granted, working at a bigger company in the tech field may be completely different from my experience, but I’d still like to work at a small company for a few reasons.
When I reenter the workforce after gaining invaluable skills at MakerSquare, I want to have a role that affects multiple parts of the company, not just one specific area. When working at a large company, your group is likely to have a relatively narrow focus. Big companies means there’s plenty of people to work in different groups focusing solely on specific business areas. Inevitably, your exposure will be limited in scope. At CNA, I worked in the statutory reporting group. There were other small projects I worked on, but the vast majority of my time was spent on one specific area: putting together the financial results of CNA’s insurance companies. Because of this, I didn’t have the opportunity to influence areas outside of that group.
I also want to be an integral part of a team that has a positive influence on the business. I want my contributions to be valued and unique, not the same as what another person would have brought to the table. One of the downsides I experienced at a big company is that you are eminently replaceable, especially at a firm like Deloitte. If somebody leaves the company, they just plug another body in. There’s always someone who can take on your roles and responsibilities and, at a minimum, perform at roughly the same level. It really doesn’t make you feel as if you’re valuable to your employer knowing you could be gone tomorrow and the machine would keep on humming along.
Going hand in hand with being integral, I want the opportunity to be innovative (granted, my previous career field of accounting is definitely not one associated with innovation). Most large, well-established companies are big for a reason. What they’re doing usually works so they don’t need to be at the forefront of innovation. They look for improvements to their current processes, not wholesale changes. In accounting, you often have to follow certain established procedures in order to complete a task. There usually isn’t a role for creativity which isn’t the case for coding. Startups often need fresh ideas and approaches to become successful. That’s a major reason I want to work in the tech field. Having the chance to shape the course of a business or a significant aspect of the business is really appealing.
The combination of these reasons leads to what I believe is the biggest negative of working for a large company – not having the opportunity to have an immense impact. In my last two jobs, even when working on small project teams, I felt like what I was doing would not have a notable impact within the context of the organization as a whole. For example, even if you’re working on a minor project at a company with 25 employees, what you do in all likelihood is going to have a relatively greater effect than if you’re one of a thousand. I want to be able to look back and reflect on what I’m doing at work and truly believe that I’m having a significant impact. Without that, I’ll continue to feel like I’m not getting what I want out of my career. However, I believe that working at a small company will give me that satisfaction.
I quit my job today. Do I have another job lined up that I’m going to be starting soon? No. Am I worried? No. Would that be the case if I told myself a few years ago I would be in this situation? Probably not, I bet I would be panicking. But at this moment, I’m not worried because I feel like I have an opportunity at a new beginning.
Many years ago (almost 8 to be exact), I began my time at the University of Illinois. I was in the College of Business, but had not completely ruled out becoming a doctor (I was 98% sure I didn’t want to, but hadn’t reached 100% yet). One chemistry class later, that field was out. What was next? Accounting and Finance. Why accounting and finance? When I was in high school I was interested in “business” and the “business world” so I ultimately wanted a job in that arena. Having both degrees would be beneficial for my job prospects and majoring in both was fairly common among business students. I focused more on accounting since Illinois was a top ranked accounting school and many renowned companies were looking to hire accounting grads. Many accounting students at Illinois seek public accounting positions at one of the “Big 4” accounting firms and I was no different. During my junior year, I was fortunate enough to land an internship with Deloitte & Touche, one of the Big 4, for the upcoming winter. At the time, I was pumped. I thought my career arc was set and I wouldn’t have job worries ever again!
I was going to be in Deloitte’s audit practice. I knew that meant I would be auditing financial statements of various companies, but I had no idea what that really entailed (FYI for the 90% of my friends who think that means doing tax returns all day…..No. SMH). The team I worked with during my internship was awesome, but I was indifferent about the work I was doing. When presented with a full-time offer, I quickly accepted. I thought as a full-time employee I would grow to love the actual work. When I started working full-time, my feelings towards the work really didn’t change. Sometimes I liked it, but more often than not I wasn’t the biggest fan. The hours were long and the environment wasn’t great, but I kept doing it.
I told myself that the parts I liked made up for the rest. I did enjoy onboarding new staff members and teaching them about what they were working on and how to complete it. I also felt pride and had a sense of accomplishment at the end of each audit because I had played a part in its successful completion. However, that didn’t come close to outweighing the negatives. One reason I didn’t leave this job immediately was the fact that most people end up leaving public accounting within a few years. They leave for positions with better salary and better work life balance, but are able to obtain those positions because of their time spent in public accounting. I envisioned a similar scenario for myself. I still believed that my background in accounting and current profession had set my career path for life.
After leaving Deloitte, I joined CNA, a collection of various insurance companies. I worked on preparing financial statements and other regulatory filings. Was I happier in my new role? For a little bit of time I was, but I soon began to feel like I wasn’t getting what I wanted out of my career. The work often didn’t interest me and the material was not what I wanted to develop a deep understanding of. I looked into other accounting and finance positions at CNA that I could transition into down the line, but nothing really appealed to me. I eventually found myself spending a good amount of time each day thinking about how much I didn’t want to be there. The last couple months when the clock hit 3:20 I knew there was about 100 minutes left until I would leave for the day and I would start counting down. That’s no way to live life, but what choice did I have? I had only been at CNA a few months. I had left Deloitte for another accounting position that was supposed to bring me long-term happiness. I was an accounting and finance major. I had been working in accounting. Why wouldn’t I be happy in an accounting or finance job? I was doing what I thought I was supposed to be doing.
It takes a long time for some to accept the fact that they don’t have to continue on their current path. It can be tough to acknowledge that what you’ve spent years of schooling and working on is not what is best for you. Luckily, I’ve reached that point and have accepted it. Again, I quit my job today. The timing of my departure is definitely not ideal for my current team, but I have to do what’s best for me. So what is next for me if it’s not another job in my current field?
I’m going to MakerSquare. I’m going to become a developer. Why do I want to learn to code? I want to be able to build things. The thought of coming up with an idea and having the skills to develop it into a real web application is really exciting. As an example, the last two years I’ve run an NFL picks league with my friends. It’s pretty simple: each week I would send out 5 matchups and spreads from that week’s slate of games and everyone would make their picks for who they thought would come out on top. Not only did I enjoy the competition aspect of it, but I really liked running the league. Every week I would record the picks in Excel, and then send out an Excel spreadsheet with the results. It’s a fairly basic setup currently, but what if I had the ability to code and build a website that would send the games to everyone, log their picks, and display updated standings in real time? Just thinking about that makes me very excited to learn to code and I would love to spend my free time building that. And what if this feeling wasn’t just for my own time? What if I land a job where I’m working on building a website or application through code and I’m just as excited? What if I come up with a business idea of my own that I can build through code? What if I develop something that makes a meaningful difference in the lives of others? What if I’m just as happy at work as I am outside of it? The thought of each of those brings a smile to my face that’s tough to remove. In addition, I can’t wait to spend time learning new things again. And after MakerSquare, I don’t think the learning will ever stop. With new technologies, new languages, and never-ending level of knowledge in each language, the world is my oyster. I can’t wait to start the journey. | <urn:uuid:1c3f58ca-357a-418c-901c-8a1d15403196> | CC-MAIN-2019-39 | https://paragdadhaniya.wordpress.com/ | 2019-09-19T18:43:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-39/segments/1568514573570.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20190919183843-20190919205843-00117.warc.gz | en | 0.979725 | 3,173 |

The Impacts of a 4-H Livestock Program, K. Taylor, UF/IFAS Extension Sumter County 4-H Agent,
Situation: The Sumter County 4-H and FFA Premier Exhibitor program is a valuable livestock educational experience for youth. The content of the program provides the framework for youth to learn a variety of topics related to the production and management of livestock. Youth demonstrate the knowledge and skills they have acquired through participating in their market livestock projects, an educational workshop, and a showmanship/grooming field day. The program offers the opportunity to award those 4-H or FFA members who understand the importance of learning about not only their livestock project but also the livestock industry. Exhibitors participating have the opportunity to learn and showcase their knowledge of livestock and the livestock industry through educational posters, skill-a-thons, and knowledge tests. Points are accumulated based on their participation and performance. Points are then calculated into achievement monies.
• Encourage youth to expand their livestock knowledge and participate in the market livestock program.
• Teach youth the importance of learning about “real-world” agriculture and encourage them to make sure their livestock projects run parallel with it.
• Test 4-H member’s knowledge and comprehension of animal science and livestock through pre and post-tests, skill-a-thons, and knowledge tests.
Methods: Since 2013, seven educational workshops and seven showmanship field days have been held. An optional educational workshop and field day were held for the Premier Exhibitor participants in which pre/post-tests were given during the educational workshop to quantify the success of this program, in the area of knowledge gain. Average scores were calculated for each in order to compare test scores for those who participated in the educational workshops versus those who did not participate. Results: To date, 312 youth have participated in the workshops and field day. 255 youth have completed the skill-a-thons and knowledge tests. Local businesses and organizations have donated over $15,150 in premium money. Conclusion: Livestock program such as Premier Exhibitor provide youth an opportunity to gain and develop production livestock skills and life skills through a competitive environment. While being rewarded for going above and beyond what is expected of them. | <urn:uuid:ceacd3ca-183b-475c-b870-a9e5145870af> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | http://blogs.ifas.ufl.edu/extension/2019/04/15/the-impacts-of-a-4-h-livestock-program-k-taylor-uf-ifas-extension-sumter-county-4-h-agent-jim-davis-uf-ifas-extension-sumter-hernando-county-ced-luann-duncan-uf-ifas-extension-sumter-county-fcs/ | 2020-08-10T00:51:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738595.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20200809222112-20200810012112-00392.warc.gz | en | 0.960346 | 467 |
How a Scottish Swindler Lured His Countrymen to a Fake City of Untold Riches
Mythological mountain ranges, illusory oceans, and apocryphal islands crowded the maps of early navigators. Some imaginary features, though, remained on charts well after satellite imagery and GPS should have confirmed their nonexistence. As Edward Brooke-Hitching writes in his new book, The Phantom Atlas: The Greatest Myths, Lies, and Blunders on Maps (Chronicle Books), some fake places made a lasting impression simply because their promoters were so brazen. In this excerpt, Brooke-Hitching describes one scoundrel's scheme to lure settlers to a fictional Central American city of untold riches—with disastrous results.
There are shameless liars, there are bold-as-brass fraudsters, and then there is a level of mendacity so magnificent it is inhabited by one man alone: ‘Sir’ Gregor MacGregor. In 1822, South American nations such as Colombia, Chile, and Peru were a new vogue in a sluggish investor’s market, being lands of opportunity, offering bonds with rates of interest too profitable to pass up. And so, when the charismatic ‘Cazique of Poyais’ sauntered into London, resplendent in medals and honors bestowed on him by George Frederic Augustus, king of the Mosquito Coast, and waving a land grant from said monarch that endowed him his own kingdom, he was met with an almost salivary welcome.
Perhaps if he had been a total stranger there might have been more wariness, but this was a man of reputation: Sir Gregor MacGregor of the clan MacGregor, great-great-nephew of Rob Roy, was famous from overseas dispatches for his service with the ‘Die-Hards,’ the 57th Foot regiment that had fought so valiantly at the Battle of Albuera in 1811. As a soldier of fortune, he had bled for Francisco de Miranda and for Simón Bolívar against the Spanish; the man was a hero. And now here he was in London, fresh from adventure, with the glamorous Princess Josefa of Poyais on his arm, looking for investment in his inchoate nation.
And the tales he told of his new homeland! Some 8 million acres (3.2 million hectares) of abundant natural resources and exquisite beauty; rich soil crying out for skilled farming; seas alive with fish and turtles, and countryside crowded with game; rivers choked with ‘native Globules of pure Gold.’ A promotional guide to the region was published, Sketch of the Mosquito Shore: Including the Territory of Poyais (1822), featuring the utopian vista below and further details of ‘many very rich Gold Mines in the Country, particularly that of Albrapoyer, which might be wrought to great benefit.’ Best of all, for a modest sum you too could claim your own piece of paradise.
For a mere 2 shillings and 3 pence, MacGregor told his rapt audience, 1 acre (0.4 hectares) of Poyais land would be theirs. This meant that, if you were able to scrape together just over £11, you could own a plot of 100 acres (40 hectares). Poyais was in need of skilled labor—the plentiful timber had great commercial potential; the fields could yield great bounty if worked properly. A man could live like a king for a fraction of the British cost of living. For those too ‘noble’ for manual labor, there were positions with prestigious titles available to the highest bidder. A city financier named Mauger was thrilled to receive the appointment of manager of the Bank of Poyais; a cobbler rushed home to tell his wife of his new role as official shoemaker to the Princess of Poyais. Families keen to secure an advantage for their young men purchased commissions in Poyais’s army and navy.
MacGregor himself had got his start this way in the British Army at the age of 16, when his family purchased for him a commission as ensign in 1803, at the start of the Napoleonic Wars. Within a year he was promoted to lieutenant, and began to develop an obsession with rank and dress. He retired from the army in 1810 after an argument with a superior officer ‘of a trivial nature,’ and it was at this point that his imagination began to take a more dominant role in his behavior. He awarded himself the rank of colonel and the badge of a Knight of the Portuguese Order of Christ. Rejected from Edinburgh high society, in London he polished his credentials by presenting himself as ‘Sir Gregor MacGregor.’ He decided to head for South America, to add some New World spice to his reputation and return a hero. Arriving in Venezuela, by way of Jamaica, he was greeted warmly by Francisco de Miranda and given a battalion to help fight the Spanish in the Venezuelan War of Independence. He then fought for Simón Bolívar when Miranda was imprisoned. Operations extended to Florida, where he devised a nascent form of what he was later to orchestrate in London, raising $160,000 by selling ‘scripts’ to investors representing parcels of Floridian territory. As Spanish forces closed in, he bid farewell to his men and fled to the Bahamas, never repaying the money.
MacGregor was intelligent, persuasive, charisma personified, with a craving for popularity, wealth, and acceptance of the elite. This was the man to whom the prospective Poyais colonists were faithfully handing their every penny. Every detail of his scheme was planned to perfection. They never stood a chance.
On September 10, 1822, the Honduras Packet left London docks, bound for the territory of Poyais, carrying 70 excited passengers, plenty of supplies and a chest full of Poyais dollars made by the official printer to the Bank of Scotland, for which the emigrants happily traded their gold and legal tender.
Having waved off the Honduras, MacGregor headed to Edinburgh and Glasgow to make the same offer to the Scots. The dramatic failure of the Darien scheme in the late 17th century (in which the kingdom of Scotland had attempted to establish a colony on the Isthmus of Panama) had virtually bankrupted the country, and any indication of history repeating itself would have been met with extreme caution. But MacGregor was a Scotsman himself, a patriot and soldier. Unfortunately, he was also in possession of a tongue of pure silver. A second swath of Poyais real estate was sold off, and a second passenger ship filled. Under the captaincy of Henry Crouch, the Kennersley Castle left the port of Leith, Scotland on January 14, 1823, carrying 200 future citizens of Poyais, eager to join the Honduras Packet travelers in their new home.
To their utter confusion, when the colonists arrived at their destination, they found only malarial swampland and thick vegetation with no trace of civilization. There was no Poyais, no land of plenty, no capital city. They had been fooled by a conniving fantasist. Unable to afford the journey home, they had no choice but to unload their supplies and set up camp on the shore. By April, nothing had changed. No town had been found, no help had arrived, and the camp was in total despair. Disease was rife and claimed the lives of eight colonists that month. The cobbler who had been promised the role of ‘Shoemaker to the Princess’ gave up hope of ever seeing his family again, and shot himself in the head.
At this lowest point, a vessel appeared on the horizon—what’s more, it flew a British flag. The Mexican Eagle from Belize had been passing nearby on a diplomatic mission when it had caught sight of the camp. The weak settlers were brought aboard and began their slow and awful journey back to London, via the hospitals of Belize. Of the 270 or so men and women who had set out for Poyais, fewer than 50 made it back to Britain. By this time MacGregor had high-tailed it to France, where he tried and failed to run the scam again. (He was foiled when the French government noticed the rush of applications for visas to a country that didn’t exist.) He was eventually forced to flee to Venezuela, where he later died in 1845, never properly brought to answer for his extraordinary and terrible crime.

‘Bombshell’ Bombs: Movie That Demonized Donald Trump and Roger Ailes Tanks at Box Office
Post Date: 2019-12-27 10:41:45 by Deckard
Another Hollywood left-wing propaganda flick has performed abysmally in the box office. Bombshell, a movie that lionizes former Fox News hosts Megyn Kelly and Gretchen Wilson, garnered a mere $5.075 million over its first weekend. The movie is an anti-Trump missive that smears deceased former Fox News chairman Roger Ailes as a villainous predator. The movie has already received a great deal of Academy Award buzz, as the Hollywood cesspool caters to the #metoo mob. But push back against the movie may derail its Oscar hopes. Even liberal movie goers are having a hard time stomaching the propaganda of Bombshell, considering the movies heroines are so disreputable. ...

Levin: McConnell Can Declare Impeachment 'Null and Void' Because Pelosi Failed To Transmit Articles By Randy DeSoto Western Journal Published December 19, 2019 at 8:36pm Talk show host and former top Reagan Justice Department official Mark Levin called on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to declare the House impeachment of President Donald Trump null and void because House Speaker Nancy Pelosi failed to transmit the articles to the Senate. Similarly, Harvard Law School professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz argued in a Thursday Op-Ed that a failure to send the articles of impeachment to the Senate would rob Trump of his constitutional rights.

Democrat Legal Expert: Trump Isnt Impeached Until Articles Go to Senate Joshua Caplan Breitbart 20 Dec 2019 Harvard Law School professor Noah Feldman, who testified as a Democrat witness in the House Judiciary Committees public hearings on impeachment, argues President Donald Trump is technically not impeached until the House submits the articles to the Senate. In a Bloomberg News opinion-editorial published Thursday, Feldman writes the definition of impeachment, according to the framers, assumed that impeachment was a process, not just a House vote, and impeachment is official only when the articles are transmitted to the Senate, where lawmakers are ...
Did The Democrats Just Commit Political Suicide By Impeaching Trump?
Post Date: 2019-12-20 17:40:26 by Deckard
United States President Donald Trump came down hard on the Democrats after the House of Representatives voted along mostly party lines, to approve articles of impeachment. Trump said that with that vote, the Democrats have declared their disdain for the American voters. While some believed this would never happen, especially considering theres no evidence to support impeachment, others knew that this was a possibility. The truth is that those in power dont care about your vote. They care only about grabbing, maintaining, and expanding their own power and their ability to rob you blind of the fruits of your labor so they can be paid to ...

Cunning Lawfare Maneuver House Will Withhold Submission of Articles from Senate
Posted on December 18, 2019 by sundance Seemingly overlooked by most, when the House voted on the rules of impeachment they removed the traditional appointment of House Managers to a later date. Normally the House Managers would be appointed at the same time as the impeachment vote; however, by withholding the appointment House Democrats are indicating they will not immediately send articles of impeachment to the senate but will rather hold the articles as support for pending court cases toward their judicial authority. A cunning Lawfare ploy. As interested observers will note the ...

TRUMP LETTER TO PELOSI December 17, 2019 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi Speaker of the House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Madam Speaker: I write to express my strongest and most powerful protest against the partisan impeachment crusade being pursued by the Democrats in the House of Representatives. This impeachment represents an unprecedented and unconstitutional abuse of power by Democrat Lawmakers, unequaled in nearly two and a half centuries of American legislative history. The Articles of Impeachment introduced by the House Judiciary Committee are not recognizable under any standard of Constitutional theory, interpretation, or jurisprudence. They include no crimes, ...

Dershowitz: Supreme Court Just Destroyed 2nd Article of Impeachment Joel B. Pollak Breitbart 14 Dec 2019 Harvard Law School professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz pointed out on Friday that the Supreme Court had undercut the Democrats second article of impeachment by agreeing to hear three White House appeals against subpoenas. The second article of impeachment passed by the House Judiciary Committee earlier Friday on a party-line vote accuses President Donald Trump of obstruction of Congress because he appealed to the courts rather than immediately obeying congressional subpoenas. George Washington University Law School professor Jonathan Turley had warned Democrats not ...

Wetsuits are meant for swimming and diving in water they are mostly used by people who swim a lot. Wetsuits are made of water-proof fabric that is to protect the swimmers from getting their bodies wet. Wetsuits are awesome suits for people who love swimming since they don’t penetrate water thus the body will be kept dry away from any discomforts of waterthrush. Wetsuits must not be irritant to the skin and for that reason should be able to stretch allowing the wearer to feel comfortable at all times.
A good quality wetsuit is comfortable and the bands never irritate the flesh thus leaving the body intact away from any dark marks. When wearing a wetsuit you will know if it is of good quality since it should expand thus be moveable to any direction for easy wear not to strain when wearing..Poor quality wetsuits don’t stretch nor expand again they are stiff while wearing that means the stiffness is unhealthy to the body as it will tighten the flesh thus leaving some funny dark marks to the wearer which is unhealthy and very discomforting. Gt info on reviews such as Aqua Zealots reviews.
Style and fashion is part of women trends thus their wetsuits should have good stunning designs that will attract them. Nature wise women love beautiful stuff that’s why a feminine wetsuit should look stunning and with the latest design for women to feel awesome. The skin is a sensitive organ that should be taken care of with a lot of cautiousness and that’s why wetsuits should be waterproofs. With double-blind stitching on the neck and around the wrists this will ensure impenetrable to water thus keeping the swimmer comfortable. No water should penetrate while wearing the wetsuit as this is to ensure the body temperature is kept normal from too much cold. Buy these suits from teh best shops such as the hyperflex wetsuits.
Wetsuits should make the swimmer feel comfortable and move faster as too tight or bad quality may lead to sluggishness to the swimmer. Warrants are important when buying the wetsuits as most people tend not to try the wetsuit at the shops and the size might not be fitting thus may need to take it back. Comfort is very essential in wetsuits also a comfortable wetsuit is a guarantee to flexibility. More so durability is the most important of all as this is a guarantee you have the best quality of wetsuits.

WICKLIFFE, Ohio -- The third annual Wickliffe Senior Center Car Show takes place Wednesday, June 5 from 6 to 8:30 p.m. The car show is combined with the city's first summer concert of the season. The free event is held at the Wickliffe Community-Senior Center, 900 Worden Road.
Judging for the car show is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Three awards – mayor's choice, people's choice and seniors' choice – will be presented. Rain dates for the car show are July 9 and Aug. 14, though the concert occurs rain or shine.

The first 50 vintage cars receive decorative dash plaques and the first 60 earn two food and beverage tickets. Full details are available online.
After the car show, guests can unfold lawn chairs and enjoy music from the Ron Stark Orchestra. The band plans to play polkas, waltzes and upbeat variety tunes from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
Stark opens the city's three-show summer concert series. The free shows are all scheduled for the Wickliffe Community-Senior Center and run from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. As with the June 5 show, the performances take place rain or shine.
The center welcomes the Chardon Polka Band Tuesday, July 9. The group describes its music as "polka with attitude." The band's energetic performances feature traditional numbers as well as "polka-pop" covers of contemporary songs.
Don DiSantis brings his Rat Pack-style to the center Wednesday, Aug. 14. DiSantis regularly displays his smooth baritone while covering Sinatra numbers, Broadway hits and occasional rock and roll standards. DiSantis is a former vocalist for the Harry Hershey Orchestra and holds many credits as a leading man in theater productions. He also writes and directs murder mystery dinner performances.
The 2013 summer concert series offers a themed menu. The opening night car show and concert means modestly priced hot dogs, popcorn, watermelon and refreshments. The July 9 performance pairs polka with kielbasa and sauerkraut. The DiSantis show features Italian sausage and peppers, with watermelon for dessert.
The City of Wickliffe also has "Movies Under the Stars" scheduled for various Fridays this summer. The family-friendly movies begin at dusk and patrons should bring a blanket or lawn chair. Concessions are available.

I have already written about the fascinating debate (‘Faulty Powers’) sparked by John Mearsheimer’s claim in the preceding issue that the West is to blame for the crisis surrounding Ukraine.
Another major essay, entitled ‘Pick Your Battles,’ by Richard Betts, director of the Saltzman Institute of War and Peace Studies, Columbia University explains how the US military can move beyond its losing engagements with counterinsurgency and nation-building over the past dozen years and return to what it knows best: big wars against great powers. Russia specialists may take comfort in Betts’ finding that Russia is too weak for the US to bother with and can be left safely to its NATO allies in Europe to dispatch. China hands must shiver alone: China is the big game that the Pentagon can stalk in war scenarios intended to preserve U.S. global hegemony.
Yet it is the contribution of Richard Haass, president of the Council of Foreign Relations, parent organization of Foreign Affairsmagazine which probably trumps all others in the issue. This magisterial essay, entitled “The Unraveling. How to Respond to a Disordered World’ should be mandatory reading for the editorial board of Foreign Affairs. Their studying it closely could lead to very beneficial changes in the publication policy with respect to ''dissident voices'' in the American international relations community.
Considering where he stands on Putin and Russia generally, it is more than ironic that Haass chose to address the very same theme as guided the Valdai Discussion Group’s meeting in Sochi the week before FA’s November-December magazine was released to its subscribers: "The World Order: New Rules or a Game without Rules." And where Vladimir Putin’s keynote speech in Sochi was a model of consistency, the doyen of his field in the USA delivered an analysis and prescription for policy that is a jumble of contradictions.
At the start of his essay, Haass sets out the challenges to global governance and describes the causes, many of which, by his own determination relate to US actions in the Middle East and the way it has conducted its relations with Russia. He touches upon a number of more general buttons with which we in the 'other camp' on directions for US policy will agree fully: including the lax regulation of financial institutions that led to the 2008 crisis which is the biggest determinant in European politics today, plus the 'overly aggressive national security policies that trampled international norms.' Moreover, it is not just American political scientists in the shadows who would agree with his very frank listing of causal factors to the unraveling of the world order. Vladimir Putin's narrative tracks very closely to the points laid out by Haass.
As regards his big picture appraisal of pluses and minuses around the globe, Haass speaks of Russia as an unappealing outlier capable of causing troubles only on Europe's periphery. The language is so close to passages in President Obama’s speeches about Russia in the late spring and summer that the question naturally arises: who scripted whom?
Russia is not a major threat in part because it is constrained by interdependency, in Haass’ view. As a consequence, he concludes that America can direct its attention elsewhere: Europe is "no longer a security problem." Thus, Haass is entirely on the same page as Richard Betts as noted above. But this is an odd formulation at the very moment when a hot war between Russia and NATO can break out at any moment on the territory of Ukraine and when Russia's declared military doctrine states that it will use nuclear arms if it faces superior conventional forces.
The risks of nuclear exchange by misjudgment in the context of the ongoing information war and hyper-active military maneuvers of both sides must not be played down. This is not Ebola. It is not ISIS. It is a potential Armageddon. How can Haass and Betts be oblivious to it all?
Given Haass’ spot-on statements about Russia being constrained by interdependence, I find it contradictory that in the last third of his essay, among his recommendations for a way forward he persists in recommending that we 'shore up Ukraine economically and militarily, strengthen NATO and sanction Russia."
Then one inch down the page he calls upon Europe to cut its dependence on Russian energy. Surely this is not out of solicitude for Europe’s economic welfare, since Russian gas, especially if the South Stream project is eventually built, is and will be the most secure and by far the cheapest source of energy available to the Old Continent. The real intent is to destroy the foundations of the Russian economy and downsize the Russian-European strategic partnership. That policy of cutting interdependence is a concise formula for ending Russian restraint and ushering in WWIII.
Sandwiched between those two economic prescriptions is the recommendation that Ukraine ‘not become a member of NATO any time soon.” This formulation will shock the Neocons, for whom Ukraine’s joining NATO will prove its sovereignty and provide a cudgel against Russia. At the same time, the intentionally vague ‘any time soon’ will not satisfy Russia for whom Ukraine must be excluded from consideration for NATO, full stop.
At the beginning of his essay, Haass casts aside the objections to Russia itself being admitted to NATO going back to the 1990s, before the water went over the dam. He says that in effect NATO is no longer a classic alliance, just a pool of talent for 'coalitions of the willing.' Why then does he not re-examine the implications of his own words as they bear on current policy?
We are now beyond Russia in NATO, though from the Russian standpoint it was a viable proposition as recently as in 2009, a year after the Georgian war. But we have before us the possibility to return to Dmitry Medvedev's initiative of finally ending the Cold War in a manner that was overlooked by the Clinton presidency, by bringing Russia into a newly designed pan-European security architecture. Medvedev's 2008 proposal was half-baked, but the West made no counter-offer.
In conclusion, I find that Richard Haass arrives at a neutral position in his tour d’horizon of global order and forces for disorder. But he does so in a manner that will please no one. He takes the understanding of causality from the dissident analysts who are almost never published in Foreign Affairs. And he provides the policy recommendations that come from the hawks who populate the administration and who otherwise fill the pages of the magazine. Is it any wonder that with advisers like this the United States has such a wrong-headed policy on Russia, and on many other hot spots globally?

“Paymo helps see how much time I truly spend on my tasks”
I had a hunch I was shortchanging myself in hours billed using manual time trackers. All those minutes tossed off to respond to a “quick” email or get a new idea into writing add up! Paymo makes those efforts count. Plus, I can tell what kinds of tasks I tend to linger too long on, and know if I met my earning goal each workday. Seeing how much valuable time I TRULY spend on my clients every day makes me feel pretty super! | <urn:uuid:5a8f7331-1f30-46a3-9aee-741fcb30678c> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | https://www.paymoapp.com/blog/testimonials/paymo-helps-see-how-much-time-i-truly-spend-on-my-tasks/ | 2017-05-24T04:07:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463607786.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20170524035700-20170524055700-00495.warc.gz | en | 0.961008 | 119 |

Harry Orlyk was born in Troy, New York in 1947. In 1971 after graduating college, he went on to graduate school at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln . Over the next nine years, he was influenced by several Nebraskan artists. “Still-life painter Robin Smith taught me how to use paint without turpentine – to paint from the tube.” He also admits the influence of photographer Lawrence McFarland who taught him what spiritual space was, and how to emphasize it. Lastly he credits well-known Lincoln painter Keith Jacobshagen with having impressed on him the importance of routine. He currently resides with his family in Salem, New York, near the Vermont border. | <urn:uuid:396f9094-14a6-4acb-ae08-b3a72bf96d1f> | CC-MAIN-2019-09 | http://gardencafeandgallery.com/artists/harry-orlyk/ | 2019-02-23T04:39:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-09/segments/1550249468313.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20190223041554-20190223063554-00546.warc.gz | en | 0.984973 | 142 |

I just finished watching "SWEET land." I have seen the ads for this movie on Gather. (Those ads certainly did not disappoint with "Waitress," so why not give another a chance?) SWEET land bills itself as a love story and it's now available on DVD.
This movie, based on the back-of-the-dvd blurb, seems like a classic chic flik. It's a old-fashioned romance story that teels the story of Inge, played by Elizabeth Reaser. Inge comes to Minnesota from Germany as a mail-order bride. Her new husband is also an immigrant. The two are met with some prejudices that will surprise many viewers. Their local paster refuses to perform the marriage because of Inge's German background. (The film is set following WW II).
After watching the film, I see that this description is a little misleading. While it is a great love story, it's so much more. And it takes America back to a suupposedly simpler time that, through this movie, we see wasn't actually simple at all. SWEET land is one of the best love stories I've seen in a long time, and the love needs the full two hours to develop. But the movie takes on a very different theme after the marriage is forbidden. Hoping to take advantage of the situation faced by new immigrants, Ned Beatty appears as a ruthless banker ready to foreclose on the land of Olaf's close friend. (BTW, this is one of Beatty's best performances in a long time. I'm glad to see independent film makers willing to give some Hollywood giants a chance to work.) Olaf feels a need to stand up for his friend, even though he and Inge stood alone.
This inspires the community. And, in the underhanded dealings and almost open battle between the banker and the farmers, even men who tune-out chik flicks will find themselves drawn in by the drama.
The stars of this film, with the exception of Beatty, are relative newcomers - at least to me. Tim Guinee plays the strong-as-nails Olaf, who tries to hide any feelings. Lois Smith and Alex Kingston are also featured. The acting is great. It's not overdone as sometimes is the case with indy films. This film also has beautiful photography and was by no means a "quickie" in production terms. I would have loved to see this on the big screen. The cinematography is great, with expansive shots from the heartland.
I don't want to give away the ending, but I will say it's heartwarming. And the movie does leave you with a rousing "love conquers all" feeling. Even though the film is set 50 years ago, it does parralell the struggles many communities are facing with immigrations today. It's an odd combination: a current issue played out with the perfect hindsight of history. The makers of "SWEET land" capture it perfectly. The movie may cause you to recognize some of your own prejudices and it serves as an excellent vehicle for conversation about the subject.
If you're one of those movie fans that listen to the critics, this movie should be on your list. It's one of the most awarded indie film since "Little Miss Sunshine." It's one several independent film awards, including a node for relative newcomer Reaser. This could indeed be a break-out performance for her. She plays a very emotional, yet reserved character and she seems to get it right on target. I would not be suprised to see her moving onto a blockbuster one day.
The movie is rated PG. It has some bad language, but I don't think most parents would mind even younger children seeing it, and I think many would enjoy the movie. If you're strictly into action fliks, skip it. But, don't let the movie's jacket (reminiscent of "Little House on the Prairie") fool you. SWEET land is full of drama, memorable characters and a very deep and thought-provoking story line. | <urn:uuid:c2faca5c-9f30-4997-b3f2-21eefd856d30> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.gather.com/viewArticle.action?articleId=281474977051624 | 2013-05-24T18:45:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368704943681/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516114903-00040-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.973511 | 851 |

Oh my today was a day…
I woke up at 6am and started towels to put on the line and washed the dishes and made my morning coffee, took the dog out, and while outside my husband pulled into the driveway home from the night shift. I started to grab my Bible and laptop and come outside with my coffee, but I came in with my husband and watched a DVR’d episode of Master Chef.
After he had fast forwarded through all the commercials and we got in touch with the termite bond man and found out he would not be here until after 3pm, my husband headed to the shower and bed. I then switched the tv to the christian music channel and opened my Bible and notebook.
It seemed to be a pretty good morning. The appraiser and the termite bond guy would not be here until after 3pm. I had spent some time with my husband and my God and now I woke my Shelby and began to clean the floors. The plan was to be at the church by 10am to get my work done so I could be home by 3pm after picking up my Bekah at 2:30pm.
I made it to the church by 11am and had spent another hour on my Wed night Zapped lesson and got several other things accomplished and was heading out the door by 2:15pm to pick up my Bekah and be home by 3pm.
About 3:01pm I pull in the driveway and the termite bond guy comes in not far behind me. So I yell for him to come in as I am putting some wildflowers I cut, out of the woods from the side of the road on the way home, in a vase for the dining room table (that you could actually find until the second we walked in the door from church tonight).
I leave the termite bond guy to my husband as I go on to make beds and put away clothes before the appraiser gets there to take pictures. By 3:50pm the termite bond guy is gone and now my husband finally manages to connect with me that the appraiser had already been there… thus the reason he was awake before I woke him at 3pm… so the appraisal pics were done without my made beds or beautiful wildflower bouquet.
By 4:15pm I am headed back to church because our internet is still non functioning and I still need to take care of some things before church services begin.
By 5:30 I realize I am going to have to take my Shelby to her youth pool party and so I mad dash her to the pool party and then mad dash myself and Bekah back to church to fight with the computer some more.
Yep that lesson plan I had worked on… finding and uploading just the right videos and pics… I can’t get it to work. Our youth minister who knows how to do all this stuff is at the pool party… so after fighting with this computer and tv for about 30 min… I have a room full of kids and by now I am fighting frustration tears…
I am swaying between anger and frustration and dissappointment and well it’s just not good. I am ready to either crawl under the floor or have a good ole fashion southern girl hissy-fit. Yet, all my babies are watching… and so is my Jesus. He has allowed this for some reason. So I breathe.
I kick into plan B and pull out the DVD’s and we wing it. I begin with prayer and let God and His Spirit get my priorities and purpose back in focus and after a little “Happy and You Know It” and and getting a little “Zapped” and then some “I Will Follow”, me on my own knees and watching these hearts on theirs… I take some more deep breathes and actually am ready to share the Bible lesson with these beautiful ones even without the picture slide show I had put together.
Fearing that this night’s lesson was going to be an epic fail, I finally realized that quite simply Satan just did not want someone in that room to here what God’s Word had to say tonight… so with determination the night went on… and tonight I had the privilege to share the truth and love of God with eternal souls, one on one with three children who came to me to share their struggles and fears.
So tonight I was reminded who was in control. I was reminded that I am dependant upon God’s power every second… I was reminded that I can’t let myself focus on all that’s going wrong. I can’t get caught up in fear and worry or frustration. Just like Peter had to keep his eyes on Christ when he stepped out of that boat to obey his Master’s command, I have to as well.
Immediately Jesus stretched out His hand
and took hold of him, and said to him,

Mark Calabria of CATO criticizes the Senate Banking Committee for only spending one day questioning Janet Yellen before approving her nomination:
Lost in Thursday’s “nuclear” attack on the Senate, the Banking Committee approved the nomination of Janet Yellen to succeed Ben Bernanke as chair of the Federal Reserve. Even without the filibuster changes, her nomination was all but guaranteed. Once confirmed she will almost surely continue the Fed’s current reckless policies.
The Banking Committee approved Yellen 14 to 8, with only one Democrat, Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), voting against her and she is likely to be voted on by the full Senate by the middle of December.
Unlike Supreme Court nominees, who generally receive days of questioning by the Senate, the Banking Committee checked its box on “advise and consent” in just over two hours….
Since Federal Reserve policy impacts every American, the Senate should spend more time debating monetary policy—inducing considering whether we would be better off without the Federal Reserve. But a full and honest debate on monetary policy cannot occur as long as the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy is hidden from Congress and the people. That is why Campaign for Liberty is supporting Rand Paul's hold on Yellen nomination until Harry Reid hold a roll-call vote on the Audit the Fed bill. If you agree please support our Audit the Fed money bomb. | <urn:uuid:06c77008-80c5-44fb-ba55-3787d4de8b81> | CC-MAIN-2016-50 | http://www.campaignforliberty.org/yellen-flwed-secreative-bad-fed-polices | 2016-12-08T02:06:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-50/segments/1480698542323.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20161202170902-00475-ip-10-31-129-80.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.941245 | 287 |
How Not to Deal With Extremism in Britain360°ANALYSIS
The UK government wants to get tough on fighting extremism, but will the extended approach help or is it a form of McCarthyism?
The British government has announced a raft of measures to help fight the war against extremism. It is part of a revised counterterrorism and counter-extremism strategy that aims to eliminate radicalization, extremism and detrimental political views held by members of the public and individuals working in schools, trusts, society organizations, the civil service and in society at large.
In the aftermath of the London bombings of July 2005, extremism was not seen as a problem per se. Rather, its vicious counterpart, the idea of violent extremism, was the greater threat. However, the Conservative government has upheld a dominant perspective that regards violent extremism as the end result of extremism itself—the conveyor-belt theory of radicalization.
This theory has been found lacking, yet it is still espoused by many in political authority. For the Conservative Party, no more can the promotion of “values” be regarded as the solution to a potentially violent form of extremism. For them, there must now be a more vigorous policy to weed out extremisms of all form, especially after Tunisia, Paris and other recent instances of violent political extremism.
Taking forward the conveyor belt theory combined with the importance of social media in the lives of people everywhere has meant the Conservative government feels even more driven to spread its anti-extremism wings.
The Counter-Extremism Strategy document highlights government intentions. The text has been careful to promote the idea that extremism is not merely a fight against Islamist extremism, but about all forms, including far-right violence and antisemitism.
The growing number of hate crimes means the police will now be required to record the religious background of the victim in crime statistics. This is a welcome development. However, the idea that extremism causes the creation of “separate lives” where communities seemingly self-segregate is directly framed to refer to Muslim groups; in fact, the most segregated groups are indeed the indigenous majority, as would be expected (by definition). Jewish groups in North London are self-segregated, but they are not as poor, disadvantaged or discriminated against compared with Muslim groups in post-industrial cities in northern England and in Midlands. Nor are they visibly marked out in the same way.
The focus on “Sharia councils,” rejecting democracy by not taking part in voting, or the practices of female genital mutilation are direct assaults on supposedly Islamic extremist norms and values. The emphasis in the strategy to tackle the “Trojan Horse” scandal that afflicted Birmingham schools was predictable, given the attention government officials and the media paid to it. It is seen as a reminder of the threat of extremism and “entryism” in British public institutions.
After-school madrassas also get a mention—as potential sites where radicalism can foment and where parents do not know of the dangers of what truly happens to their children while there. Universities, local authorities, charities and prisons are also mentioned. In fact, it seems that Muslims everywhere are a threat. Entryism, however, is carried out by all groups—neo-Nazis, Islamophobes and even ultra-pro-Zionists.
All of this is a backdrop to the enhancement of the new statutory Prevent duty, “so that all local authorities, schools, universities and colleges, NHS Trusts and Foundation Trusts, police, probation services and prisons are clear that they must take action to prevent people being drawn into terrorism.” The document sets out in great detail all the public bodies it hopes will target extremism further.
To this ends, the Home Office Extremism Analysis Unit will be established to help with this venture. However, the Home Office is traditionally a policing, crime reduction and counterterrorism department, when indeed the challenges facing communities are arguably more about development, opportunity, equality and social cohesion. Louise Casey has been charged with determining a plan to help with economic and cultural integration through opportunity and outcome. She will report its initial findings in 2016, as will the Home Office Extremism Analysis Unit.
While it is important to build effective community-government partnerships, there are also the problems of resources and capacity. Too often, those with specific personal ambitions, whose desires are about wanting to be accepted, kowtow to the authority of the state, acquiescing all their intellectual faculties, and merely rubber-stamping a narrow view on the problems and the solutions. There are many civil servants inside the government who are committed to equality and fairness, but there are also those who have the wisdom and guile to instrumentalize communitarians for political ends. Ultimately, we are dealing with society and its institutions—and there is a need to remember that people from all walks of life carry with them their own modes of being.
The only way to defeat extremism is to avoid stigmatization, provide targeted resourcing to specific issues within all afflicted groups, and to firmly understand the grievances that agitate some toward violence.
There is a discernible link between Islamophobia and radicalization that needs to be broken down. Here, the government must not paint a blanket picture of the patterns of radicalization and extremism, particularly in relation to Muslim groups. The government must also remain diligent about avoiding creating further problems of Islamophobia, as there is growing evidence of the correlation between messages uttered by senior parliamentarians and acts of Islamophobic violence on the ground.
In order for communities to challenge the rhetoric of extremism from within, the solutions must focus on capacity across a large and growing diverse body of minorities who are as divided within as they are without. In the constant focus on extremism among the populations, it is existing marginalized groups who face the brunt of attention—and it is they who are most vulnerable to resistance against the force of the state upon them, for they have little or nothing to lose.
The only way to defeat extremism is to avoid stigmatization, provide targeted resourcing to specific issues within all afflicted groups, and to firmly understand the grievances that agitate some toward violence. The latter is not about certain norms and values being outside the frame of acceptability, but about genuine material concerns characterized by local, national and global realities.
No society is perfectly equal, fair or tolerant. But the United Kingdom can go a long way by firmly understanding the link between disadvantage, dissemination and extremism for all groups. Simultaneously, the British government must recognize the importance of its own voice with regard to radicalism and extremism—that it does not brush entire communities, cementing the fear, isolation and lack of hope already facing highly vulnerable groups in society.
Finally, it must be noted that the state would not be able to abstract itself out of the equation with regard to violent extremism. However, it must be said that while it is right to focus on communities and the need to build effective solutions on the ground, the real causes of the problem are the War on Terror culture, dubious foreign policies since the end of the Cold War and ever since 9/11, specifically ineffectiveness with regard to Syria and Iraq, combined with decades of neglect in the regions and among existing marginalized groups in society.
There is also a small segment of society pulling far ahead, leaving the majority far behind. Their perception on the world is shaped by a narrow inward-looking perspective that seeks to merely reproduce the status quo. Fighting extremism, in this regard, is a mere afterthought.

Believe it or not, color is a powerful psychological tool for direct mail marketing.
To get the kind of response that you want out of your direct mail marketing, you need the right ingredients. These include an aesthetically pleasing design, engaging copy and the right colors. Consumers place a whole lot of importance on visual appearance and color when they shop. But, color does so much more than just make your mailer look good. Colors evoke emotions in your readers, which means that it’s an essential tool for getting the response you want from your mailers. But, in order to get the response you want, you need to know what kind of emotions each color evokes. That’s why we’ve come up with this list of colors and the kind of responses they help to trigger:
Yellow is a cheerful, warm color, but it’s also the color that grabs attention most effectively. However, if you overuse yellow, it can easily become tiresome to the eye. Brands that utilize yellow include McDonald’s, Best Buy and Denny’s.
Orange is another attention grabber, and since it’s a combination of yellow and red, it evokes feelings of warmth, energy and enthusiasm. However, orange can also be seen as aggressive, so be careful when using it. Brands that utilize orange include Nickelodeon, MasterCard and Penguin.
Red is associated with passion, excitement and movement, and when you use it in your mailers, it helps to evoke a sense of urgency. That’s why you often see red signs for clearance sales. Any time you want to emphasize a deadline or get your readers to act right away, red can be a great choice. Brands that utilize red include Lego, Coca-Cola and Redbull.
It should come to no surprise to you that pink is a feminine color, and it is used most effectively when targeting girls or women. However, pink is also associated with love, romance and beauty, as well as respect, intuition and assertiveness. Brands that utilize pink include Barbie, Cosmopolitan and Victoria’s Secret.
Purple helps to stimulate creativity and the ability to solve problems, but it’s also associated with intelligence, royalty and respect. This may be why so many companies use purple for anti-aging and beauty products. Brands that utilize purple include Yahoo, Cadbury and Hallmark.
Have you ever noticed how, on court-room dramas, like Law and Order, criminal defense lawyers are always telling defendants to wear blue in court? That’s because blue is associated with trustworthiness and reliability. If you’re trying to establish trust in your business, product or service, blue is an effective choice. Blue can also be soothing and calming, and it’s traditionally used most often to target men. Brands that utilize blue include Twitter, WordPress and Gap.
Green is a very relaxing color, and it’s commonly associated with power and tranquility. Green is also associated with nature, which is why you commonly see it in advertising for environmentally friendly products and brands (or brands that are trying to make themselves seem more environmentally friendly than they actually are). Brands that utilize green include The Body Shop, Starbucks and BP.
Black is a very powerful color, and it’s used to evoke feelings of dominance and sophistication. However, black is also associated with evil and death, so be careful with it. Traditionally, we most often seen black associated with luxury in advertisements. Brands that utilize black include Apple, Sharpie and Chanel.
White is most often associated with purity, innocence and cleanliness, which is why it’s often seen in medical-related advertisements. However, white can also be seen as sterile or cold. Brands that utilize white include Uber, BMW and Sephora.
Never underestimate the power of color.
When you want to stir a certain emotional response in your readers, you should never underestimate the power of color. Whether you’re trying to get your readers to trust your brand, act urgently or anything else, you can use color to do so to great effect. We hope that this guide will help in determining which colors to use in your mailers. Even better, we offer Flex8 Printing Technology, which will help you print the truest colors for your custom business envelopes.

Befriending and connecting!
Care Home Friends is an organisation set up to change the lives of care home residents, one person at a time. With about 17,500 care homes across the UK and over 50,000 churches, they want to see every care home adopted by a local church with trained volunteers spending time building friendships with residents, particularly if they don't have family members who can regularly visit them.
Here at Rusthall Lodge, we have a team of wellbeing co-ordinators whose responsibility it is to engage our residents in group and one-to-one pastimes but our latest exciting initiative is to resurrect the ‘Friends of Rusthall Lodge’; a dedicated team of volunteers who will support the social engagement work the Lodge already does with residents and supplement its fundraising activity.
Community Relationship Officer Brenda Boxall organised an inaugural meeting of ‘friends’ today and was delighted with the response she got from her invitations. Fourteen people joined her for morning coffee and pastries in the Woodland lounge to ‘meet and greet’ and in some instances reminisce about old times. Present were former Matrons and employees of the Home and a past Chairman of the ‘friends’ group.
The atmosphere buzzed with stories and reminisences; "always knowing when Matron was coming because of her footsteps" and, "Matron always had her sleeves down when she was in her office but out on the floor, she had them rolled up, neatly tucked in starched white cuffs at the elbow!" Our own reminiscences then brought the legendary Hattie Jacques to mind!
The group have agreed to meet once a month and will make a valued and worthwhile contribution to life at Rusthall Lodge.
Spending time with residents might involve simply chatting, playing a board game, doing a crossword together, or going out for a walk in our garden. The list is endless - any activity that a resident enjoys that builds relationship.
But the benefits don’t stop there. Many ‘friends’ once had loved ones cared for within the Home and they build relationships with individual staff members so that when their loved one sadly passes and their connection with the Home formally ceases, they not only lose their friend or relation but they lose contact with the staff who have become extended members of their family. Joining a ‘friends’ group then becomes an emotional two-way street and a continuation of support, care and friendship for everyone involved.
If you would like to join the 'Friends of Rusthall Lodge', please contact Brenda Boxall on 01892 556500. She and we would love to hear from you because although we lead busy lives, we all have the ability to make a difference to someone somewhere; one person at a time.
As the famous philosopher Winnie the Pooh once said, "We didn't realise we were making memories. We just knew we were having fun!"

Today is the 96th anniversary of the birth of Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, author of "The Power of Positive Thinking," which was published in October 1952 and stayed and stayed and stayed on the New York Times best-seller list for 186 weeks, 48 in the No. 1 nonfiction spot.
RUTH STAFFORD PEALE, the author's widow (he died last Christmas Eve) feels that the book is as viable today as it was 20 million copies ago. "The principles of positive thinking work as well now as ever," her husband of 63 years wrote in an a previously unpublished article.
For those who may have forgotten, positive thinking is "a practical method of living in which an individual applies a set of principles drawn from the wisdom of the ages, and by which people can alter the course of their lives by altering the course of their thinking."
Mrs. Peale expects to spend the holiday as she always does: with her family at Lake Mohonk. She will also send a free copy of "The Power of Positive Thinking" to anyone requesting it (1-800-274-5097). This could be the beach-blanket book of the summer of '84.

The former matinee idol, now 86, was told the news after his son's body was discovered early yesterday.
Peter Todd, 53, is believed to have killed himself in a car near his home in Kent. His death comes eight years after another of Mr Todd's sons took his own life.
A family member said: "He is devastated and not able to speak about it right now."
Mr Todd's youngest son Seumas was only 20 when he killed himself with a shotgun in 1997.
In 2001 the actor spoke of the moment when he found out Seumas was dead. "I walked into the living room and heard the voice of Andrew, Seumas's older brother, on the phone saying, 'No, I'm afraid it's definitely suicide.'"
The family would not confirm that Peter had killed himself but a spokesman for Kent Police said a man had been found dead and that there were no suspicious circumstances.
The body was found in a car in the car park of East Malling village hall, near Maidstone. Officers cordoned off the scene and are investigating.
The actor, who starred in Fifties war classics including The Dambusters and The Longest Day, has two other children, Andrew and Fiona.Reuse content | <urn:uuid:0564d61f-a919-4474-9c09-de1de54c9e50> | CC-MAIN-2017-04 | http://www.standard.co.uk/showbiz/film-stars-grief-over-suicide-of-another-son-7171088.html | 2017-01-19T09:07:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-04/segments/1484560280504.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20170116095120-00018-ip-10-171-10-70.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.993605 | 261 |

On this day in 2001, the Enron Corporation files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in a New York court, sparking one of the largest corporate scandals in U.S. history.
An energy-trading company based in Houston, Texas, Enron was formed in 1985 as the merger of two gas companies, Houston Natural Gas and Internorth. Under chairman and CEO Kenneth Lay, Enron rose as high as number seven on Fortune magazine’s list of the top 500 U.S. companies. In 2000, the company employed 21,000 people and posted revenue of $111 billion. Over the next year, however, Enron’s stock price began a dramatic slide, dropping from $90.75 in August 2000 to $0.26 by closing on November 30, 2001.
As prices fell, Lay sold large amounts of his Enron stock, while simultaneously encouraging Enron employees to buy more shares and assuring them that the company was on the rebound. Employees saw their retirement savings accounts wiped out as Enron’s stock price continued to plummet. After another energy company, Dynegy, canceled a planned $8.4 billion buy-out in late November, Enron filed for bankruptcy. By the end of the year, Enron’s collapse had cost investors billions of dollars, wiped out some 5,600 jobs and liquidated almost $2.1 billion in pension plans.
Over the next several years, the name “Enron” became synonymous with large-scale corporate fraud and corruption, as an investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the U.S. Justice Department revealed that Enron had inflated its earnings by hiding debts and losses in subsidiary partnerships. The government subsequently accused Lay and Jeffrey K. Skilling, who served as Enron’s CEO from February to August 2001, of conspiring to cover up their company’s financial weaknesses from investors. The investigation also brought down accounting giant Arthur Andersen, whose auditors were found guilty of deliberately destroying documents incriminating to Enron.
In July 2004, a Houston court indicted Skilling on 35 counts including fraud, conspiracy and insider trading. Lay was charged with 11 similar crimes. The trial began on January 30, 2006, in Houston. A number of former Enron employees appeared on the stand, including Andrew Fastow, Enron’s ex-CFO, who early on pleaded guilty to two counts of conspiracy and agreed to testify against his former bosses. Over the course of the trial, the defiant Skilling–who unloaded almost $60 million worth of Enron stock shortly after his resignation but refused to admit he knew of the company’s impending collapse–emerged as the figure many identified most personally with the scandal. In May 2006, Skilling was convicted of 19 of 35 counts, while Lay was found guilty on 10 counts of fraud and conspiracy. When Lay died from heart disease just two months later, a Houston judge vacated the counts against him.

The new Alienware m18 is a ginormous gaming laptop that commands attention. This isn’t Alienware’s first 18-inch gaming laptop, but it should still shock folks who haven’t seen a notebook of this size in years. The Alienware m18’s size is certainly its biggest selling point, but it should also pack enough power under the hood to compete even with the best gaming PCs. In fact, Dell is marketing this beastly laptop as a desktop replacement.
I got some hands-on time with the Alienware m18 during a press event Dell held in New York City. It should come as no surprise that this gaming laptop was the highlight of the event for me. Not only does it look ridiculous (in a good way), but it also packs next-gen processors and graphics cards. Its advanced cooling technologies are also impressive.
Here’s what I thought of the Alienware m18.
Alienware m18: Specs
|Row 0 – Cell 0||Row 0 – Cell 1|
|Price||$2,899 (starting for Intel CPU & Nvidia GPU)|
|CPU||13th Gen Intel Core | AMD Ryzen|
|GPU||Next-gen Nvidia RTX and AMD Radeon|
|Display||QHD (2560 x 1600) @ 165Hz | FHD (1920 x 1200) @ 480Hz|
|Memory||16GB – 64GB|
|Storage||256GB – 9TB|
|Ports||1 ethernet port, 1 headphone jack, 3 USB-A, 3 USB-C, 1 HDMI 2.1, 1 mini-DisplayPort, 1 SD card|
|Dimensions||16.15 x 12.59 x 1.5 inches|
Alienware m18: Price and configuration
The Alienware m18 comes in a variety of configurations, including models with the latest 13th Gen Intel Core “Raptor Lake” processors. Available Intel CPUs include the i7 13650HX, i7 13700HX, i9 13900HX and i9 13980HX. New AMD Ryzen processors are also available, though we don’t yet know which specific CPUs.
GPU-wise, the Alienware will pack “next-gen” Nvidia GeForce RTX or AMD Radeon graphics. It doesn’t take much to infer that “next-gen” means Nvidia and AMD’s latest graphics cards, namely mobile versions of the RTX-40 series and Radeon RX line, respectively.
Memory options range from 16GB to 64GB of DDR5 RAM, while storage options range from 256GB all the way to 9TB.
We don’t have a firm release date right now, but expect configurations with Intel and Nvidia components in the first quarter of 2023 starting at $2,899 (roughly £2,420/AU$4,304). Additional options will launch sometime later in the year with entry models starting at $2,099 (around £1,753/AU$3,116). Expect AMD options in the second quarter, with prices announced closer to the shipping date.
Alienware m18: Design
The Alienware m18 measures 16.15 x 12.59 x 1.5 inches. We don’t have the laptop’s official weight, but it’s a heavy machine for sure. I’m a pretty strong person but I couldn’t comfortably hold this monstrous laptop for too long even with both hands. But, as a Dell PR told me, the Alienware m18 is effectively a desktop replacement and you’re not necessarily meant to carry it around.
Like the new Alienware m16, the m18 has a Dark Metallic Moon aluminum chassis featuring the updated Alienware Legend 3.0 design language. One of the most distinctive new features is the laptop’s feet, which wrap around the bottom of the machine to raise it off surfaces. Two openings in the front and back of the feet help increase airflow and improve performance, according to Dell. Vapor chamber cooling technology over the CPU and GPU should also help improve performance.
2023’s Alienware M-series has a decidedly less ostentatious design than its predecessors. They still look like gaming laptops, but not aggressively so. This is something I appreciate since I tend to favor understated designs for tech products.
Alienware m18: Display
The Alienware m18 has a gargantuan 18-inch display with a 16:10 aspect ratio. It comes in two configurations. One model features a QHD (2560 x 1600) 165Hz display while the other has an FHD (1920 x 1200) 480Hz screen. Both options have up to a 3ms response time, along with Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync support. ComfortView Plus and Dynamic Display Switching are also featured. Dell claims the panels can reach 300 nits of brightness and cover 100% of the sRGB color gamut.
During my limited time with the Alienware m18, I found the display very impressive. After all, it’s been ages since I’ve seen a laptop with a display this huge. I can’t say how well games or streaming content look on the display, but I found the panel sufficiently bright and colorful. I can’t wait to test the display out to see if its performance matches its impressive size.
Alienware m18: Keyboard and touchpad
The Alienware m18 has two keyboard options. Both keyboards have a 1.8mm key travel distance and per-key AlienFX backlighting, but only one with a Cherry MX ultra-low profile mechanical laptop keyboard.
I went hands-on with the latter and was thoroughly impressed. If you’ve read any of my laptop reviews, you know I’m not the biggest fan of laptop keyboards; it’s why I use a real keyboard and mouse with my laptop. But I love the tactile feel of the Cherry MX switches, and the spacious keyboard gave me plenty of room to type.
There’s not much I can say about the trackpad at this time, but it felt as responsive as any other trackpad I’ve tested. However, since users like myself will likely use one of the best gaming mice with the Alienware m18, the trackpad isn’t something I’m overly concerned with. With that said, I like how the trackpad can also be programmed to have RGB lighting.
Alienware m18: Ports
Given this laptop’s size, it has plenty of room for numerous ports. This is beneficial considering how Dell wants the Alienware m18 to serve as a desktop replacement.
There’s an ethernet port, headphone jack and two USB-A ports on the left side and a single USB-C port on the right side. On the back, you’ll find two Thunderbolt 4/USB-C ports, another USB-A port, an HDMI 2.1 port, a mini-DisplayPort and an SD card slot.
Alienware m18: Alienware Command Center
You can view and manage your system’s performance and thermals via the new Alienware Command Center 6.0 application that comes pre-installed on the Alienware m18. You can customize peripheral settings and lighting, along with your game library and more via AlienFX.
I’d need to go more in-depth with the Alienware Command Center to gauge its utility, but it seemed pretty robust during my hands-on time. If you’re spending big bucks on a gaming laptop then you want as much control over its appearance and performance as possible. The updated Alienware Command Center app should allow you to make this machine distinctly yours.
Alienware m18: Outlook
The Alienware m18 screams “go big or go home” due to its massive size and 18-inch display. And while this gaming laptop won’t be cheap, I can see it being a big seller for Dell. That’s because, if it lives up to what the company promises, this machine could be an effective desktop replacement. It could be an ideal machine for those who want a beefy computer but may not have room for a traditional desktop.
It’s too early for me to render a verdict on the Alienware m18 but I wouldn’t be surprised if it eventually ends up on our best gaming laptops and best laptops lists. | <urn:uuid:f544e840-ac46-4964-839c-60523a8841e0> | CC-MAIN-2023-06 | https://el-aji.com/alienware-m18-hands-on-review-a-gigantic-gaming-laptop.html | 2023-02-03T10:55:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-06/segments/1674764500044.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20230203091020-20230203121020-00674.warc.gz | en | 0.904935 | 1,778 |

Whatever happened to the Oreo — y’know, chocolate cookies on the outside, fluffy white stuff in the middle? Take a trip down the cookie aisle these days, and Oreo is going overboard with all these new-fangled varieties. (But not Double Stuf, mind you. Respect.)
The two latest flavors are cookie dough and marshmallow crispy. And these we had to try.
First, the cookie dough: There’s a maple flavor in the whipped filling. Or is it coffee? “It doesn’t taste like the cookie dough I want to make cookies with,” said our Tiney Ricciardi, one of nine brave souls who sampled the new flavors.
Dipped in milk — the ultimate Oreo test — the cookie dough cookie was more enjoyable, but ultimately not an improvement over the tried ‘n’ true Oreo.
The marshmallow crispy cookie showed more promise. The “golden” cookie exterior resembled a butter cookie — a Le Petit Beurre, perhaps. Its marshmallow filling tasted like the dehydrated marshmallows in Lucky Charms — and even more so when the Oreo was dipped in milk. Now we’re talking. Entertainment editor-producer Rand Duren said the marshmallow-filled Oreo tasted “like a spoonful of cereal, inside a cookie.”
“I’d pay money for that,” he said of the cookie. (And I did: The package cost $2.99.)
Dallas Morning News restaurant critic Leslie Brenner politely disagreed. “I would never eat another bite of either of them,” she said.
No one in the test group said they’d prefer either new flavor over a regular Oreo. Here’s the logic: “They aren’t better than an original Oreo, because there is nothing better than an original Oreo,” said Dallas Morning News columnist Alan Peppard.
Both the cookie dough- and marshmallow-filled Oreos are available for a limited time, according to packaging. We found both at Target near Lemmon Avenue and U.S. 75 in Dallas. Look at the end caps near the registers, not in the cookie aisle. | <urn:uuid:55439514-d247-4e58-9b2d-56bfa6bf70b7> | CC-MAIN-2016-30 | http://whateverblog.dallasnews.com/2014/02/taste-test-which-is-better-cookie-dough-oreos-or-marshmallow-oreos.html/?nclick_check=1 | 2016-07-29T05:53:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-30/segments/1469257829972.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20160723071029-00243-ip-10-185-27-174.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.921802 | 472 |

Today I would love to show you some items I got from Persunmall: a really, really cool bag and a very lovely necklace, I adore both items, especially that bag as it looks so much like the really popular Celine bags, down you can see how similar they are! This is the 4th time I have got delivery from Persunmall and what I can definitely say- they don’t disappoint! 🙂
You can find this bage HERE
I think this will easily become one of my favorite bags, I can already imagine lots of outfits with it! And it’s like you can 2 bags in one, because it’s uper easy to tuck in the corners into the bag- as if they belong there naturally
&&& here you can see how a Celine bag looks! They are so similar, though Persunmall’s has it for like $1500 lower price! 😀
You can get this necklace HERE
This necklace caught my eye right up when I saw it! So I just had to get it! I really like the vintage feeling I get from it! | <urn:uuid:3d1b9396-bbce-4a28-bd5e-04c80562303b> | CC-MAIN-2020-16 | https://www.callmemaddie.com/2013/09/new-in-persunmalls-bag-and-necklace.html | 2020-03-29T11:35:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-16/segments/1585370494331.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20200329105248-20200329135248-00182.warc.gz | en | 0.972498 | 234 |
feeling hopless and tired of it
I have 2 great kids that mean the world to me, but being a stay at home mom just isnt for me and I don't think my boyfriend of 4 years understands that. For the most part of the 4 years we have been together he has always worked nights, so it worked out great for me he was home durring the day and my kids where home at night. This is what I liked but wanted to have him be more of a role model for the kids and be here for them so he switched to working days. Now that school is in I am home from 6:30am to 4pm by myself and it just dosn't feel worth it. Yes I would love to get a job but we only have one car and he feels like its not my place to work outside the home, How do I fix this how do I make him relize that I need social enteraction and that being at home is great when they are there but I don't go out with friends I walk most morning but we live out in the country. I am depressed and have been on med for it for the last 2 years and he says it has helped but to me I still feel tired and hopless. I feel unwanted most days and I stress out about it which causes migrains. I know due to my health problems is the reason he hasn't had any pysical contact with me and that just makes it worse. anyone have any idea's on how to help? | <urn:uuid:57ac11a8-7331-4609-b601-3451f5e140a4> | CC-MAIN-2013-48 | http://www.healthboards.com/boards/depression/919201-feeling-hopless-tired.html | 2013-12-06T17:07:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-48/segments/1386163052216/warc/CC-MAIN-20131204131732-00066-ip-10-33-133-15.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.992714 | 307 |
My childhood memories of Astoria, Oregon are grey. Not grey, as in, fuzzy; grey, as in: dark, drizzly, damp Oregon grey. Full of fog and an overpowering scent of salt and seafood. As with most childhood memories, mine were only to be partially trusted: fragmented images of shipping docks and older, weathered homes.
Over the past few decades, this tiny town has been inching out of its cocoon and emerging, one new or restored place at a time, as a tourism industry butterfly. Once best known for being the location for one of my childhood film favorites, The Goonies, Astoria, Oregon is making a name for itself in the food and beverage world, and becoming quite the coastal tourist destination.
Recently, my daughter, son, husband, and I decided to check out the town. It was high time I dusted off those fragmented old memories and checked out Astoria: the new Astoria.
TRAVEL BLISS: ASTORIA, OREGON
Astoria, Oregon is the northern most point of the Oregon coast. Located on the Columbia River, Astoria is approximately two hours west of Portland, Oregon and three hours south of Seattle, Washington. The Astoria-Megler bridge (pictured above) connects Oregon to Washington. It’s an impressive bohemoth of a bridge, and worth driving over to visit the Washington side if you have the time.
EAT + DRINK
The number one change in Astoria that I had heard about was its reportedly growing food & drink scene. While you can still visit the classic coastal breakfast chain Pig & Pancake, along with longtime local fave Stephanie’s Cabin Restaurant, Astoria is now home to several modern coffeehouses, breweries, and restaurants to fit travelers tastes and budgets of all varieties.
EAT + DRINK: Coffeehouse
Street 14 Coffee
1410 Commercial Street
Open daily 6:30am – 6:00 pm
Street 14 Coffee was my personal favorite find on this trip. Street 14 Coffee offers a large selection of housemade pastries and hot breakfasts, as well as an impressive lunch menu that begins at 11am each day. The modern decor and super friendly service are what I loved most about this coffeehouse. Portlanders and travelers alike will also enjoy that they serve Portland-based Stumptown Coffee and Steven Smith Teas.
Bowpicker Fish & Chips
Corner of 17th & Duane Street
The top lunch spot that was recommended to me in Astoria was the Bowpicker. You can’t miss it: it’s an old converted gillnet boat, and, except in questionable weather, you’ll most likely see a line of people waiting outside. It took us more than one hour to wait in line, and be warned: because the Bowpicker serves fresh caught fish, they do sometimes (I am told often) run out.
I was told the Bowpicker serves THE absolute best fish & chips on the Oregon coast by several different people. Instead of halibut or cod as most restaurants serve, Bowpicker serves fresh caught TUNA fish. And, it is delicious.
The tuna is fried up in what is likely one of the most delicious batters I’ve ever enjoyed with fish & chips, and the fish is very meaty, not flaky like cod or halibut.
Just don’t forget to bring cash, because the Bowpicker absolutely does not take any credit or debit cards.
EAT + DRINK: Mid-Budget, Family-Friendly Meal
Fort George Brewery
1483 Duane Street
Located at the end of the main strip of downtown Astoria, Fort George Brewery offers a mid-price range, family-friendly spot for travelers to kick back and relax. It’s loud, very casual, and there are always lots of families dining here for lunch and dinner. Their handcrafted beers are distributed only in the Pacific Northwest, and range from light, approachable IPAs to sassy seasonal ales such as the 3-Way IPA (a collaboration between three breweries: Fort George, Block 15, and Boneyard).
Their menu features classic pub fare, including pizzas, burgers, fries, salads, sandwiches, and fish & chips. I was told their housemade sausage was a must-try. I suggest ordering the Sausage Sampler (pictured below), which gives you three of their classic housemade sausages plus the Sausage Du Jour, which was my personal favorite.
EAT: SPLURGE DINNER
20 Basin Street
Open 7 days a week, from 11am (closing hours vary seasonally; call ahead)
For dinner one night, my family and I decided to splurge and treat ourselves to a nice restaurant with a gorgeous view and gourmet meal. We decided on Bridgewater Bistro, one of the fine dining dinner options that takes reservations — and we all know how very important reservations are when you have little ones in tow!
[I would like to take this moment to thank all of the restaurants around the world that take reservations for parties of all sizes. THANK YOU.]
Bridgewater Bistro is located right on the water, with massive picture windows to allow you to enjoy views of the Astoria-Megler bridge while you dine. We were treated to large cargo barges and what looked like a cruise ship pass by during dinner. The experience alone is worth the splurge, and the food and beverages just add to the incredible experience.
We started with an appetizer of smoked salmon with a maple onion glaze, paired with Amity vineyard’s 2009 Pinot Blanc.
For dinner, I very much enjoyed the scallops special. The scallops were sauteed perfectly, and served with a light cream sauce, risotto, and steamed vegetables.
My husband ordered the ahi tuna steak, which was hearty and rich thanks in part to a mushroom-veal demi-glace sauce, served with vegetables and lemon risotto.
Bridgewater Bistro offers a generous kids’ menu, featuring all of the traditional kid favorites plus fresh grilled salmon, kid-sized. My kids went for the tried & true grilled cheese, and gave the meal two thumbs up.
We ordered a few different items for dessert to share, of course. All were gobbled up with great enthusiasm.
The space was expansive and thoughtful, the food and drink (check out their wine and cocktails menu!) were divine, and the service was attentive and friendly. What completed the positive experience at Bridgewater Bistro was the welcoming, warm atmosphere, where our kids really enjoyed themselves and felt comfortable the entire time. We had a lovely time dining here with our children, and we will definitely be back here again. I highly recommend trying Bridgewater Bistro for a date night, family night out, or girls night out.
1 Coxcomb Drive
Hours: M – F 9:00am – 5:30pm, Sat & Sun 9:00am – 5:00 pm
Cost: Free column entrance, but there is a $2 per vehicle parking fee
Standing 600 feet above sea level is a 125-foot high structure known as the Astoria Column. It was built in 1926 and modeled after Rome’s Trajan Column, and features a spiraling hand-painted frieze depicting historic events in the Pacific Northwest: the discovery of the Columbia River by Captain Robert Gray; the end of the Lewis and Clark Expedition; and the arrival of the ship Tonquin.
Visitors can climb up all 164 steps to the very top of the column for stunning views of the valley and the Columbia River. If you have kids, definitely buy little biplanes at the gift shop located in the parking lot, and have them fly the biplanes out from the top of the column. It sounds silly, but trust me: just do it. The joy it brings the kids is priceless, as they watch their planes spiral outward, then eventually down, from the tower.
My son was actually able to retrieve his biplane from a grassy area where it landed and still holds onto it as a memento from our trip.
If you don’t want to climb up the column or have fellow travelers who can’t, you can still enjoy a stop to Astoria Column. The viewpoints along the parking lot offer gorgeous views of the rivers connecting, of all of the tiny little towns around the valley, and on a clear day, you can see the mountains that surround the area.
Columbia River Maritime Museum
1792 Marine Drive
Open daily 9:30am – 5:00 pm
Another stop that travelers of all ages will enjoy is the Columbia River Maritime Museum. I know what you’re thinking: maritime museum is code word for BORING, right? Wrong! This is a large museum (see photo above) that houses six galleries, a tugboat simulator, photo galleries and research library, and an impressive collection of touring exhibits throughout the year. Right outside of the museum is the Lightship Columbia, the last serving lightship in the United States, which was retired in 1983.
Full disclosure: the interior museum was closed by the time we reached here, but we could peek inside, and I must say, it exceeded my expectations without even having to step foot inside. I look forward to the day we can check out the interior exhibits with the kids!
Instead, we enjoyed walking around the outside of the museum, where we could take a look at the Lightship Columbia, and take in peaceful views of the sun setting over the Columbia River and the Astoria-Megler bridge.
Downtown Astoria + Waterfront
Another part that has changed quite a bit since I was a child is the main street of Astoria, Oregon. Commercial Street is the main street that runs through downtown Astoria, Oregon, and is bustling with shops, cafes, restaurants, bars, and small businesses. I would suggest parking on Commercial Street or one of the parallel streets (Duane Street and Marine Drive) and walking around to explore downtown Astoria. We found a cute toy shop and home goods shop by just walking around after refueling with coffee and pastries at Street 14 Coffee on Commercial Street.
There is an Art Walk on the 2nd Saturday of each month, and a Sunday Market each week in downtown Astoria.
258 14th Street
Astoria, OR 97103
This hotel is super cool…if you don’t have a large family. If it’s just you and your honey, or you have one small child, then I recommend staying here. Old world meets modern style. Love it.
1100 Northwest Ridge Road
Hammond, OR 97121
My family stayed at the nearby KOA, just 5 minutes from downtown Astoria, and really enjoyed it. You can read about our KOA Cabin in Astoria review. I highly recommend this for travelers of all kinds because you can choose to camp in the traditional sense, or stay in a deluxe cabin with all amenities. Plus, they have a pool to rival fancy hotel pools, mini-golf, bike rentals, and tons of activities for the whole family.
VISIT: Astoria, Oregon
As with most trips, there were so many more things we could have done and places we could have visited. We had two nights and two and a half days to explore the town with our two children, and I’m sharing the highlights of our trip here. You might also want to visit Fort Stevens, ride the trolley downtown, or rise early enough to buy fresh caught fish down on the docks. You can check out Cannery Pier if you like more traditional lodging options on the waterfront, and eat at one of several other hot spots, each offering a variety of food & beverage.
There’s a lot more to do in Astoria, Oregon than meets the eye. Or, in my case, than meets my childhood memories. I’m glad to have had the chance to explore this town and replace those grey fragmented childhood memories with new experiences full of top notch food, beer, and wine, beautiful scenic views, and interesting historical perspectives.
Go visit Astoria, Oregon. It’s travel bliss for the whole family. | <urn:uuid:621d75a9-41a8-49ac-a455-55766e3bf65e> | CC-MAIN-2020-16 | https://www.urbanblisslife.com/travel-bliss-astoria-oregon/ | 2020-03-28T11:54:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-16/segments/1585370491857.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20200328104722-20200328134722-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.957356 | 2,563 |
Evaluating the Use of Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency Coefficient in Goodness-of-Fit Measures for Daily Runoff Simulation with SWAT
Hydrological models must be carefully calibrated to ensure that predictions are scientifically sound and reliable. As a goodness-of-fit measure, an ideal threshold of the Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency coefficient (Ens) has been reported to be 0.65, based on yearly and monthly simulation results with the soil and water assessment tool (SWAT). To further explore the use of Ens as a goodness-of-fit measure for daily runoff simulation with SWAT, the authors ran the model with five different parameter values, using Jinjiang River Basin on the southeast coast of China as the study area. In addition, to find how the model versions varied in predicting changes in flood and drought with changes in land use, each of the five model versions were run two times separately: once for the land use condition in 1985, and then again for the land use condition in 2006. The authors investigated the relationships between Ens variation and model accuracy and discussed the differences in predicted runoff due to land use change as caused by the five model versions. The results show that the coefficient of determination (R2) was highly associated with Ens, with a high R2 corresponding to a high Ens; the Ens value was quite sensitive to simulation results of the maximum one-day (1d) runoff; 0.75; the Ens value was not sensitive to simulation results of the minimum 1d and seven-day (7d) runoff, and unlike the flood runoff, the errors in drought flow increased adversely with increased Ens, indicating the poor performance of the SWAT model regarding drought flows; and the variations in runoff simulations, due to the land use change, were sensitive to model version switching and were fundamentally similar to the changes in the error indicators said above. The five SWAT versions varied in performance (Ens) in daily runoff simulation and had different measures of goodness-of-fit for various characteristics of the flood and drought processes. As a result, an Ens of 0.75 is suggested as a threshold for satisfactory simulation of maximum 1d discharge in the study watershed. | <urn:uuid:72f5d7ea-f76f-4bc9-89a1-be508dca2c0b> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | http://desc.ca/publications/evaluating_use_nash_sutcliffe_efficiency_coefficient_goodness_of_fit_measures_daily | 2019-06-24T16:09:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999615.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20190624150939-20190624172939-00393.warc.gz | en | 0.950612 | 439 |
Last week's letters, which went to nine data brokers and one employment agency, warned that the companies might be collecting and using the information without meeting the requirements of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Despite the name, that law regulates how private companies can use personal information in areas other than credit, including employment, eligibility for insurance, and the ability to meet minimum financial criteria.
Those 10 letters went out after FTC staffers pretending to be customers contacted dozens of brokers to see whether the companies were following federal rules.
There's no indication that any retailers are being targeted directly by the FTC. But increasingly, retailers that collect large amounts of customer data through CRM or loyalty programs are using additional data they acquire from brokers to fill in the gaps as they build a picture of customers. Some chains even use data as minimal as a name and Zip code, plus broker-provided data, to get a complete CRM record on a customer from a single transaction.
A crackdown on data brokers could raise prices on some of that customer data or make it unavailable in the future. One likely source of increased cost is the FCRA's requirement that individuals have the opportunity to correct errors in the data sold about them. Because many data brokers use automated systems to scour public records for information and then aggregate it, the cost of supporting (and verifying) individual corrections could jack up prices significantly. | <urn:uuid:020f2120-16b8-4b30-b3b2-5a3bca33f281> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.fierceretail.com/operations/ftc-eyes-data-brokers-and-could-raise-retailers-crm-costs | 2020-09-19T09:15:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400191160.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20200919075646-20200919105646-00132.warc.gz | en | 0.954952 | 278 |

A dear reader pointed this article out to me. In their relentless effort to cut down on wasteful spending while operating with spotless integrity, the congressional panel established to monitor the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act is holding a meeting … at the Ritz Carlton:
Members of a key panel created by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, better known as the stimulus bill, have scheduled a meeting on November 22 to consider ways to prevent “fraud, waste, and abuse of Recovery Act funds.” The meeting will be held at the super-luxe Ritz Carlton Hotel in Phoenix, Arizona.
The Ritz-Carlton is located “in the midst of the picturesque Camelback Corridor, the city’s premier shopping, dining and financial district,” according the hotel’s website. Hungry waste-and-abuse hunters can dine in the “casual elegance, relaxed atmosphere and uniquely inviting ambiance of the European-inspired bistro 24.” Or they can enjoy Afternoon Tea in the “uniquely warm and inviting” Lobby Lounge. And at any time, waste-and-abuse watchdogs who also enjoy golf will be “just minutes from some of the best courses in the world,” including the Tournament Players Club, the Arizona Biltmore, and several others.
In terms of hypocrisy points this story is right up there with this old one that I pointed out a while back:
Right after the $787 billion spending bill was passed, the administration launched www.recovery.gov. “Recovery.gov is the U.S. government’s official website providing easy access to data related to Recovery Act spending and allows for the reporting of potential fraud, waste, and abuse.” After a few months the administration decided to redesign this site … and awarded an $18 million contract to SmartTronix, a company that supported House Majority Leader Hoyer’s campaign

Pedestrianise Hill Street or lives will be lost
THE owners of the two longest-established licensed premises in Belfast's Cathedral Quarter appeal to DRD minister Danny Kennedy to pedestrianise Hill Street – the main thoroughfare in the area – only after 6pm and only subsequent to consultation with all relevant parties.
There is a very real and significant threat to the lives of those using Hill Street from cars and taxis travelling at excessive speeds with no due consideration for the safety of pedestrians.
This already potentially life-threatening situation has been exacerbated by the DRD's astonishing request to remove a barrier from the front of our premises used to protect our clientele. The potential ramifications of this directive are unimaginable.
The Cathedral Quarter is at the heart of Belfast's cultural and social economies and a real gem in Belfast's tourist industry.
A potential tragedy here would leave an indelible mark on our tourist footprint and seriously undermine the remarkable efforts of our current Lord Mayor in promoting Belfast as a premier tourist destination. No other European city has a racing track dissecting the heart of its cultural district.

No summer school without deal: VSB
Summer school is looking unlikely in Vancouver unless a deal is reached soon. (FILE PHOTO/24 HOURS)
Unless a deal is struck between the government and teachers by July 3, Vancouver School Board chairwoman Patti Bacchus says there will be no summer school for any students in the city.
That includes those who failed their Grade 12 courses and need remedial classes, she said.
“At this point, it doesn’t appear there would be remedial if the strike continues ... in pretty well every case we’re aware of, students can take the course next year,” Bacchus said.
Her decision — made after consultation with other school districts in Metro Vancouver — comes after an essential services order last week deemed remedial courses during the summer neccesary.
But Bacchus said the order made it clear summer school must only be held for those who would be unable to take a remedial course during the new school year in September.

I commented on the other thread that we had fried chicken as one of our entree selections. It was definitely good it was a selection because some people didn’t want it. Also, it was a boneless chicken breast and it wasn’t really fried like they do at KFC. It wasn’t as greasy and I ate it with a fork and knife because I hate eating with my hands anyway. But it definitely wasn’t on the same level as fast food fried chicken.
I wouldn’t call it “fancy” because, well, it’s fried chicken. But it was made by the restaurant (which was a pretty nice restaurant) plus we had other options and it was a much better version of fried chicken in my opinion.

Just wanted to chime in and say. . .In college, I worked at a banquet hall as a summer job, and one of the popular family-style dishes was fried chicken!
Also, I recently attended a graduation party that served fried chicken from Walmart. Much to my delight, it was extremely tender and wonderfully crispy! I’m not a big fan of meat off the bone, but I must say that it was quite good.
I wouldn’t expect food at a wedding to come in a box (aside from maybe a yummy candy bar or other delectable delight that’s a take-home treat!), but if it was served in bowls (family style) or on a buffet in some sort of tray, why not?
Post # 19
If that was the only meat available I would eat it. But I don’t like fried chicken in general. I think it’s fine for a wedding though! My DH would go crazy 🙂
Post # 20
I would eat it but I would find it odd to be served fried chicken at a wedding. I find it to be too casual plus when I’m in a nice dress and heels, I don’t want to be eating with my hands/fingers.

I really dislike KFC.
I do like fried chicken though. But more like homemade fried chicken. Theres this restaurant in town that makes fried chicken and it is to die for.
Also, that restaurant does the fried chicken on waffles. Most amazing thing in this world. I absolutely love it.
You should do fried chicken and waffles. lol
Post # 22
Chicken and waffles would be AMAZING!!! I second that.
Post # 23
I dont know if I am a little bit too country, southern or whatever. I like everything classy at weddings but when it comes to food… I love going to events with what i consider “celebratory foods” bbq meatballs, baked mac and cheese, FRIED chicken wings..not an 8 piece no…i have an aunt that makes them for EVERY family funtion. So yall better believe mine will have them!! 🙂 but it wont be the only thing there either!
Post # 24
I really wanted to do chicken and waffles at our wedding! (with other selections of course) But DH said no lol. We’re having a reception lunch at a Cajun place though, so I guess that makes up for it.
Post # 25
I think it depends on the formality of the occasion. We’re having pulled pork Carolina BBQ, but we’re getting married on the beach and having a tented reception in the backyard of a beach house, I wouldn’t do that for a black tie formal affair! I think we’ll provide bibs, though. I will probably be the messiest eater there and I’m the one in the white dress so it’ll be necessary!
Post # 26
I think its rather rude of anyone to turn their nose up at any wedding food no matter what it is. People were kind enough to invite you to their wedding and have food for you. Even if it wasnt my favorite thing I would still eat some its just rude not to (unless you have a food allergy or something like that then I understand)

i seen one of my HS friends who recently added me to FB had a in&out truck at her wedding… i would be all about in&out LOL

We are having fried chicken from a german restaurant and it is AWESOME!! Most of my guests are very excited for it.
Post # 29
I just don’t like fried chicken. Also, if it’s a formal event, I don’t think it’s polite to eat any thing with your hands (besides appetizers) and I’d feel awkward cutting into a chicken wing with a knife and fork. If it were a more casual wedding then I don’t think it would be looked down upon at all. | <urn:uuid:81b9706b-0e61-4e49-adeb-9a8754056247> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/spinoff-fried-chicken/page/2/ | 2020-09-18T20:33:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400188841.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20200918190514-20200918220514-00565.warc.gz | en | 0.969069 | 1,039 |

We have been meeting weekly Thursdays at 6PM and doing lots of great things. Jeff has pulled out the Google Voice Kits and he and his team of kids have those running. Silas and Kyle are making great progress on their cardboard home with automation, and they’re looking for help with the interior decoration. Each week people have been delving into 3D printing, Arduinos, construction and movie making, discovering new skills and stretching their creativity!
Thursday sessions continue through Thursday August 9, and it’s never too late to stop by. With this open format you can wander in any week and try things out, even if it’s your first session of the summer.
Saturday June 28 – 9AM-12noon
Come build a cute little insect robot from a couple of motors and a tiny Arduino-compatible board. The kit cost will be around $30-$35 and includes everything needed to bring this little creature to ‘life’. In the process you’ll learn a little more about programming Arduinos and controlling motors. You can check it out at the DFRobot site.
We’ll need to figure out how many kits to purchase, so we’ll need people to contact me in advance. We need to know by Thursday June 19 at the absolute latest so I can put the order in Thursday night.
Thursday June 26 will be an Open Session. We’ll have Arduino kits available and people to help with projects. We can also take a look at designs that people might be proposing for widgets off the 3D printer. | <urn:uuid:974395f1-a012-4a27-b338-ea519f10532e> | CC-MAIN-2021-04 | http://athensmakers.net/?paged=2&cat=1 | 2021-01-17T01:11:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-04/segments/1610703507971.27/warc/CC-MAIN-20210116225820-20210117015820-00474.warc.gz | en | 0.953493 | 328 |
The stereotypical corporate office has often been portrayed as a dingy, stuffy, and cubicle-ridden space that drains creativity and prevents collaboration. Thankfully, such traditional corporate offices — with their uninspiring decor and segregation — are in many ways a thing of the past.
Many employers have realized that the office environment directly influences employee satisfaction, creativity, and productivity. This trend gained momentum in the late 90s, with many tech companies being innovators not only in their product development but also in their workspace design.
Tech companies developed a reputation for building amazing workspaces, more like playgrounds that their employees could look forward to working in. And as a result, they attracted the very best and brightest — and got the most out of them, creatively.
But recently, this mini-revolution has spread to many other traditional industries. Many large companies are moving progressively towards open, creative, and collaborative workspaces.
Spaces more often seen in small, creative companies are now becoming commonplace in large corporate surroundings too.
What are the key characteristics of these new space designs?
1. Open Plans
Humans are social animals and want to be able to interact with each other. Studies have shown that an open plan improves the mood of employees. So modern offices are often designed to encourage collaboration, as modern employers understand that employees being able to interact while they work is beneficial — rather than detrimental — to long-term productivity.
2. Hot Desking
Having employees who aren’t chained to their desks translates to reduced office costs and increased networking opportunities. Open spaces have also become more valuable as technological advances now allow workers to work from almost anywhere.
3. Common Spaces
Designing informal areas for ad-hoc meetings and collaboration on larger projects create a community feel to the workplace. Working collectively on tough problems can vastly improve productivity.
4. Functional Buildings
Large corporate office buildings are now increasingly equipped with cafes, restaurants, libraries, bars, and gyms. Google is probably the best at this, the theory being that a happy employee at work is more likely to stay at the office longer. Idea generation is the name of the game, so many employers don’t mind whether a great idea comes from an employee at the office gym or a worker as his desk. So long as the ideas keep coming, both parties will be happy!
Increasingly, green is the new black in office design projects, more businesses want to design their space in a sustainable and environmentally friendly manner. It’s not just employers; environmentalism is often a key issue for many employees, too.
The bottom line is that if you want top-quality work, you need to give your employees a top-quality office space. | <urn:uuid:355d8fb3-f09d-4375-bcc2-8db90d29ba0d> | CC-MAIN-2021-17 | https://www.workdesign.com/2012/12/5-characteristics-to-new-office-space-design/ | 2021-04-10T19:02:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-17/segments/1618038057476.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20210410181215-20210410211215-00359.warc.gz | en | 0.966807 | 557 |

Endocannabinoids are lipid messenger molecules that play and important role in our daily lives regulating and maintaining homoeostasis in our bodies. Their role is so crucial that they effect all the major stages of our lives from conception, embryo implantation, birth to the early days of our lives. Endocannabinoids deliver their message by binding to cannabinoid receptors (CB1 and CB2) and are then degraded by enzymes (FAAH, MAGL) or reuptaken by the cell. More information on the workings of the encocannabinoid system can be found here.
The role of endocannabinoids in the sexual behaviour of males was seen as recent studies done on rats have shown that anandamide (AEA) injections initiated sexual behaviour in non-copulating males (1) and reduced ejaculatory thresholds for sexually sluggish males (2) . These effects of anandamide are mediated via CB1 receptor activation and are effective even in normal rats but are dose dependant, meaning that different doses can have opposite effects (3).
Both CB1 and CB2 receptors are found on sperm cells.The level of endocannabinoid AEA is crucial for control of the percentage of swimming and live sperm (viability and motility), the modulation of the energy expenditure and control of the number of testosterone producing cells (Leydig cells). These effects are mediated trough the CB1 receptor. CB2 receptor activation is responsible for the start of the production of sperm and the regulation of its swimming speed (4).
Virtually all steps of female reproductive events are affected by one or more elements of the endocannabinoid system as cells and tissues of female reproductive organs are endowed with a fully functional ECS (7).
Both anadamide and 2-AG have been found in the uterus and the fine tuning of their levels are essential for successful embryonic passage through the oviduct and implantation into the uterus. This is done via enzymatic degradation, by the enzymes FAAH and MAGL, of the two cannabinoids (AEA and 2-AG) at crucial times in embryo development and implantation (5). The role of these enzymes is crucial as research has shown, that lower levels of FAAH enzymes were found in women who miscarried than those who gave birth (6).
The CB1 receptor has been found to play an important role in the formation of the foetuses brain. These receptors are responsible for the differentiation of neuronal progenitor cells into neurons or glia cells. They also act as tour guides for the connections between neuronal cells (axons) by showing them the right path to take and where to make connections to other cells (5).
Postnatal suckling and appetite stimulation
Even after we leave the comfort of our mothers womb, endocannabinoids are crucial for the survival of the newborn. Endocannabinoids, oxylipins and other related compounds have been found in human milk (8). The endocannabinoid 2-AG (2-arachidonoylglycerol) has been found to be the most abundant and has an important role for the infants breast feeding behaviour and appetite stimulation. Studies on mice have shown that 2-AG binding to CB1 receptors stimulate the initiation of milk suckling in mouse pups, stimulate appetite and might have a role in the correct innervation of the tongue muscles (5). When researchers blocked the CB1 receptors, with a CB1 antagonist, the growth of the mouse pups stopped and caused death within one week. The researchers also experimented with the co-administration of delta-9-THC which almost fully reversed the effects of the antagonist (9).
Cannabis use in pregnancy
All this research show the importance of the endocannabinoid system as a finely tuned machine regulating important aspects in each phase of the reproductive cycle. One would assume that any interference by outside ECS modulators, such as phytocannabinoids, could have a decremental effect. So the question arises: is cannabis consumption safe during pregnancy?
Women use cannabis during pregnancy for various reasons raging from health (nausea, vomiting, appetite, other medical conditions), spiritual (Rastafarians) to recreational.
A majority of women experience nausea or/and vomiting during pregnancy and cannabis is often effectively used as a relief therapy. In a survey done in Canada, cannabis was rated as extremely effective or effective by 92% of the respondents who had used it as a therapy for nausea and vomiting (morning sickness) (10).
While it has certainly proven to have a beneficial effect on the mothers the concern is who this effects the baby that the mother is caring.
The results of a well known study done in Jamaica by Dr. Dreher compared mothers that used cannabis to mothers that did not use it during pregnancy and found that there were no positive or negative neurobehavioral effects at 3 days of life, while there were significant differences between the exposed and non-exposed neonates at the end of the first month. The exposed babies showed better physiological stability required less examiner facilitation to reach an organized state and become available for social stimulation (11). It should be noted that a lot of the cannabis using mothers besides smoking also used cannabis tea.
In a follow up study done on the same children at the age of 5 showed no significant differences in developmental testing outcomes between children of marijuana-using and non-using mothers (12).
A later study on infant mortality rate showed even more interesting results.
They examined 2,964 infants and divided them into categories of those who had no drugs in their organism and those who tested positive (cocaine, opiates, cannabinoids). Those who were drug-negative had an average mortality rate of 15,7 deaths per 1000 live births. Those who tested positive to cannabis and cocaine and/or opiates had a lower mortality rate of 8,9 deaths per 1000 live births. Of the infants who tested positive only to cannabinoids (157 babies) not a single one had died which meant a 0 mortality rate (13).
All these results shed a positive light but we defiantly need more studies to reach a definite conclusion. It seems to contradict the concept of that any disturbances to the ECS during pregnancy can have important consequences. Scientists theorize that maternal marijuana consumption, has significant, yet subtle effects on the offspring due to the framework of the intricate timing requirements and frequently biphasic effects of the (endo)cannabinoids (5).
In the end its up to the mother to decide which is best for her baby. For “morning sickness” troubles mothers should first try acidic cannabinoids, especially CBD acid. CBD acid has been shown to be a strong inhibitor of nausea and vomiting (14,15) and it does not act on the cannabinoid receptors.
In summary endocannabinoids have a crucial role in all the stages of reproduction and while they are a fine tuned machine, phytocannabinoids don’t seem to have a negative impact on this process.

Byte is proud to have been named the winner of the prestigious Innovative Uses for ScienceLogic award. This is one of three awards announced at the ScienceLogic Symposium in Washington DC this month recognizing and celebrating top IT organisations displaying exceptional innovation, leadership, and collaboration incorporating ScienceLogic technologies. Byte was awarded for “Outstanding Product Integration”.
"Byte was selected as one of our 3 ‘Innovation Award Winners’ at ScieneLogic’s 2017 client ‘Symposium’ as their integration with their VDI Service, used many different part of the ScienceLogic Platform, that they extended and customised, to solve a very real business problem they faced with their end customers.
Of the 180 customers who attended the Symposium, 35 customers participated in the ‘Innovation Award Nominations’ and Byte IT were ultimately one of three customers globally, that were presented with an award." Jeremy Sherwood, VP Product Management at ScienceLogic.
Byte has recognised that today’s customers have complex technological environments which require innovative approach and agile services. Staying ahead of curve in an oversaturated market it’s not only about developing the latest technology solutions, it’s equally important how accessible and how empowering the solutions are to the business owners.
Today, customers expect a holistic approach and proactive management. Merely providing managed services as monitoring and reacting at the component level equates to poor service.
In response, Byte incorporated a preventative service model and integrative solution into its OneSpace environment. In doing so, Byte is able to proactively identify and assess risks, mitigating them before they become problems. A team of engineers built upon the capabilities of the ScienceLogic platform to optimise monitoring and management, and to simplify customers’ IT infrastructure. By identifying and assessing potential risks, customers no longer require an expensive team of in-house experts, downtime is reduced allowing them to focus on their business success.
“Byte is demonstrating substantial value to its customers through increased visibility via custom dashboards, custom monitoring solutions and IT service monitoring with business focused metrics favouring Health, Availability and Risk rather than purely technical ones such as memory utilisation and bandwidth usage in our OneSpace environment.”, said David Graupner, Head of Managed Services.
The ScienceLogic Award judges were particularly impressed by the progressive and innovative approach taken by Byte.
“This is a big win for Byte. We worked really hard to utilise the full potential of the platform. Even though we are using it for 4 months only, we managed to build very useful tool and we took the monitoring capability to the next level. Byte is more effective today, and services it’s client far better, because we see the status, health, and risk levels of their IT environment”, said Bob Ahmadi, Tools and Automation Lead.
This change in focus and value proposition has empowered customers, allowing them to grow their business, instead of worrying about IT.
“We are honoured to be recognised as one of the innovators in the industry. This is an industry that is evolving fast due to customer expectations around holistic view of their (complex) environment and what it means to the end user experience as well as business benefits. We are no longer in the business of showing dials and traffic lights – we partner with our customers to optimise the operation of their technology services with response time and availability for users and balance between risk and cost to business”, said The Byte Founder, Robert Roshan.

Patrick Kaleta is seething because he will be scratched tonight. The Angola native, the Buffalo Sabres’ chief agitator, has enjoyed a regular spot in the lineup for years, never sitting unless he’s hurt or suspended (so he does miss a lot of games).
But against the Washington Capitals, the aggressive winger, who’s eligible to return from a five-game boarding suspension, will be benched as a healthy scratch.
“I’m (ticked) off. I want to play,” Kaleta told reporters this afternoon in Washington. “And especially after watching some things, sitting there watching the game, I want to play.”
Clearly, interim Sabres coach Ron Rolston wants to send Kaleta a message about his reckless play. The Sabres had a 1-0 lead March 3 in New York before Kaleta hit Brad Richards into the boards from behind while killing a penalty. The Rangers quickly scored twice and won a 3-2 shootout.
It can be argued Kaleta’s penalty cost the Sabres their fourth straight win, that the 26-year-old committed a selfish act. He’s a repeat offender and has been under the microscope for years.
He should’ve known better.
“Plays like that happen sometimes,” Kaleta told reporters. “It happens when you have to play on the edge.”
Rolston first asked reporters which player should be yanked for Kaleta. When pressed, Rolston said, “He understands what just happened and the way he’s got to play. But again, we want to balance the way he plays and not take that away from him either because that’s what makes him a valuable hockey player in this league.
“On the other hand, it’s a situation where he understands that sitting out five games for him wasn’t a good thing and it wasn’t a good thing for our team. We have to make adjustments and he has to make adjustments going forward.”
Update: Goalie Ryan Miller wasn’t happy about Kaleta’s comments, telling reporters in Washington after the Sabres’ 5-3 loss to the Capitals: “He’s being dramatic. We’re not discussing what Patty says to you guys because that’s just drama, and he needs to just grow up if he’s going to say that to you guys. He had a stupid play in the game. He sat. He was punished. He has to get over it and move on. We handled it. He doesn’t have to go to you guys and say that stuff. So, there, I’m addressing it now, and I’ll go … talk to him about it. There’s no need just to say that.”
Miller added: “He doesn’t need to handle it like that. So we’ll handle it internally.” | <urn:uuid:0a3c61fd-9697-4782-8ecf-f8a21af7a8ba> | CC-MAIN-2017-51 | http://www.buffalohockeybeat.com/sabres-rolston-sending-kaleta-a-message-with-scratch/ | 2017-12-16T14:40:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-51/segments/1512948588251.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20171216143011-20171216165011-00081.warc.gz | en | 0.965792 | 634 |

Lord Pearson of Rannoch: My Lords, I must refer back to the Minister's earlier reply to me because he did not answer my question. Is this piece of legislation taken under qualified majority voting or under unanimity in Brussels; in other words, if we wanted to resist it, could we do so or would we be outvoted?
Lord Avebury: My Lords, I thank the Minister for that reply, but she did not mention "democracy" which was the other part of my Question. Is not one of the most fundamental rights of every adult to participate in the control of public affairs? Therefore, will the Government encourage the Amir to enter into a dialogue with the leaders of the Committee for Popular Partition about the restoration of the 1973 constitution and parliament? Further, even if they are not prepared to introduce democracy immediately, will the Minister advise the Government of Bahrain that the expression of a willingness to do so in principle and to have a dialogue with that committee on the modalities and the time-scale would do an enormous amount to decrease tension in the island?
Baroness Scotland of Asthal: My Lords, Her Majesty's Government have spoken with the Amir. We found that our policy of constructive engagement on sensitive issues, such as human rights, was more successful than any approach taken hitherto. Of course, this is an opportunity for us to engage, and engage well, with the Amir to forward the general democratisation process. We are very hopeful that that government will be sensitive to the matters raised by us.
Lord Tebbit: My Lords, will the Minister be unnerved to discover that I agree with her? Further, in order to strengthen her case, will she take into account that if Her Majesty's Government were to lecture the Government of Bahrain on these matters, they might be expected to lecture the Government of China, of Russia and of a good many other countries on exactly the same matter? I do not think that that would be conducive to good international relations.
Baroness Scotland of Asthal: My Lords, I am very relieved to know that there is a matter on which the noble Lord and I can perhaps concur. I doubt that it will be a rare occurrence, but I am happy to grasp it as it arises.
We have engaged in a very constructive way with the Bahrainis on matters of mutual interest, including human rights. We have also discussed their concerns. Since his accession in March, the Amir has taken positive steps towards reconciliation with the Shi'a population of Bahrain and the opposition, which we have welcomed. Thus the process appears to be in good order.
Baroness Scotland of Asthal: My Lords, I have no specific answer to the noble Viscount's question but of course I endorse what he says. It is important that young people and women of all countries have such opportunities so that we can enhance human rights to ensure that our future is a little better than our past.
Lord Renton: My Lords, I spent a few days' holiday in Bahrain some years ago, and I found the people there happy and prosperous. Will the noble Baroness say how an extension of democracy and human rights would make them any happier?
Baroness Scotland of Asthal: My Lords, it is not for me to comment on whether they would or would not be happier. Certainly, your Lordships will be familiar with the Government's position in relation to these matters. Of course, we seek to have harmonious international relations with all countries. We are happy that we are well on the way to confirming and consolidating those steps in relation to Bahrain.
Lord Avebury: My Lords, from the Minister's reply to my supplementary question I was not quite clear whether the matter of democracy was raised. Without seeking to lecture--we get enough of those from the noble Lord, Lord Tebbit, when he is present--I ask her once again whether the Amir was specifically asked whether he would enter into discussions with the leaders of the de facto opposition; that is, the Committee for Popular Partition, on the restoration of the 1973 constitution and the 1974 parliament. That is a simple question.
Baroness Scotland of Asthal: My Lords, I do not have a specific answer to the noble Lord's question. I know that issues of sensitivity were raised. For the purposes of the Question, I have assumed that they were, but I certainly undertake to write to the noble Lord with a specific answer.
Lord Carter: My Lords, at a convenient moment after 3.30 p.m. my noble friend the Leader of the House will, with the leave of the House, repeat a Statement being made in another place on the European Council in Helsinki. The Statement is likely to be taken after the speech of the noble Earl, Lord Howe, on the Care Standards Bill.
Baroness Nicholson of Winterbourne: My Lords, I beg to introduce a Bill to regulate the provision of certain healthcare services outside the National Health Service. I beg to move that the Bill be now read a first time.
Moved, That the Lord Craig of Radley be appointed a member of the Committee of Selection, the House of Lords' Offices Committee, the Liaison Committee, the Committee for Privileges and the Procedure of the House Committee in the place of the Lord Weatherill.--(The Chairman of Committees.)
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department of Health (Lord Hunt of Kings Heath): My Lords, I beg to move that this Bill be now read a second time. The Bill has at its heart two key aims--first, to protect vulnerable people from abuse and neglect, and, secondly, to promote the highest standards of quality in the care that people receive, whoever is providing it.
I am glad that so many noble Lords with experience and expertise in this area will speak during our Second Reading debate. I extend a particular welcome to my noble friend Lord Mackenzie of Culkein who will make his maiden speech. He was an excellent general secretary of COHSE and founder of my union, UNISON. He will bring many insights to your Lordships' House, particularly in this area.
The coverage of the Bill is broad. It deals with private and voluntary healthcare, including the most acute and high-tech services provided in that sector. It deals with long-term nursing and social care for older people and disabled people and it deals with a wide range of services for children from residential care through to childminding and day care. In every one of those vitally important services people have a right to expect protection from harm and a right to expect that the care they receive will be of a decent standard.
In many cases that is what they get. However, as noble Lords know only too well, too often that is not the case. A great number of inquiries and reports have highlighted the failings of the current systems for safeguarding people's welfare. The Care Standards Bill provides for radical and far-reaching improvements to the arrangements for ensuring
The Registered Homes Act of 1984 has for many years been considered ineffective and inappropriate in the way it deals with private healthcare services. This Bill will for the first time set out a clear and separate category of independent hospital, with specific regulations made to set out the detailed requirements and standards that every such hospital must meet. In recognition of the importance and distinctive needs of healthcare there will also be a separate division within the national care standards commission which will concentrate on this area.
One of the problems of the current system is that with 100 health authorities in England and another five in Wales the average health authority inspection unit simply does not have the expertise necessary to regulate the acute healthcare services. With the concentration of expertise that comes from a single national body, that will no longer be the case. For the first time we shall have proper, strong standards for private and voluntary healthcare services, with inspection and, where necessary, enforcement action carried out by expert inspectors dedicated to that field. People who use private healthcare can be assured that private hospitals will be required to work to proper modern standards of healthcare with adequate numbers of appropriately qualified staff, equipment and facilities that are up to standard and thorough arrangements for back-up should an emergency arise.
I shall cover briefly the range of services that the national care standards commission will also be responsible for regulating. The commission will regulate the 30,000 care homes in this country accommodating nearly half a million people, including for the first time care homes run by local authorities which until now have been exempt. In providing for a national, independent regulation system, as promised in our election manifesto, we shall remove the inconsistency and inefficiencies of the current regime. The split between local authorities which regulate residential homes, and health authorities which regulate nursing homes, will be replaced by a single and flexible system that will allow care homes to provide a mix of personal care and nursing care appropriate to the needs of those receiving the care. The commission will still require that where nursing care is provided there are appropriate qualified nursing staff to deliver that care. But the regulation system will be geared to people's individual needs and not to artificial boundaries.
For the first time care provided to people in their own homes will be subject to statutory regulation. As your Lordships will be aware, care in people's own homes is increasingly provided where in the past
The importance of protecting vulnerable children is deeply felt throughout this House. The national care standards commission will have significant responsibilities for safeguarding children. All types of children's homes will be regulated and subjected to rigorous inspections. This, again, will include local authority homes that are currently exempt and small private children's homes for fewer than four children.
The Bill will also introduce for the first time regulatory regimes for fostering agencies and for residential family centres. The national care standards commission will also regulate the crucial and specialised work of voluntary adoption agencies in a way similar to the current system operated by the Social Services Inspectorate. In recognition of its role in safeguarding children, the national care standards commission will appoint a children's rights director whose job it will be to ensure that children's rights and welfare are at the heart of all its responsibilities for regulating children's services.
The regulation of children's services must not be swamped by the much larger volume of adult services that the commission will deal with. The children's rights director will also provide a crucial function in being the person who will always be there for anyone to turn to when they have concerns or suspicions about what might be happening in a children's home or in other services. Too often, when scandals of abuse have been uncovered, children or staff members say that they knew something was not right but they were uncertain who to go to when they had concerns. I hope that we will not in future hear that people did not know who they could turn to.
The provisions in Part IV of the Bill establish a general social care council. Many people, including a number of your Lordships, have been calling for such a council for many years. We made it clear soon after coming to office that we would deliver on our long-standing commitment to establish the council, and this Bill keeps that promise. We have made it very clear, though, that the council will not be a body solely concerned with professionally qualified social workers. That would indeed be a missed opportunity. When the social care work-force numbers 1 million, 80 per cent of whom have currently no recognised qualification, we would be failing in our duties unless we set up a body whose concern went wider than the 50,000 most qualified members of that 1 million-strong workforce.
Professional social work and the system that underpins it will certainly be a crucial concern of the council, but it will oversee standards and training throughout the whole of the sector. Indeed, one of its first tasks will be to draw up codes of practice and conduct for social care workers and social care employers. These codes, the first of their kind in this
The general social care council will also register individual staff working on an incremental basis. With such low levels of qualifications, it will clearly take some time for the training in the sector to reach the levels where the majority of the workforce could be registered. For that reason the Bill also provides a mechanism to ensure that a social worker who has harmed someone in his or her care will not find his or her way back into the workforce.
Following the Protection of Children Act passed earlier this year, there is already a central list of people judged unsuitable to work with children. Part VI of the Bill introduces an equivalent measure for dealing with people who are unsuitable to work with vulnerable adults. I recall the concern expressed by many of your Lordships in debate that adults can be vulnerable as well as children. We have listened to those concerns and we agree with them. Nor is this measure confined to adults with a learning disability, which was the subject of our debate at that time. Any adult receiving care can be vulnerable, and the definition in the Bill is drawn accordingly.
I turn now to the Government's proposals for the regulation of child care, dealt with in Part V of the Bill. During our first two years in office we created as many child care places as the previous administration managed to create in 18 years. We will now build on those achievements. We recognise that for young people in particular the line between care and education is becoming increasingly blurred. Given this, reform of the regulatory regime for day care and childminding is important. The Bill will transfer responsibility for regulation from individual local authorities to a national body. We have decided that this will be a new, distinct arm of Ofsted.
Bringing together the regulatory systems for child care and nursery education will not only help create greater coherence and integration but will also lead to improvements in the quality of early years service. Establishing national standards for Ofsted to operate will ensure that child safety will no longer be a matter of geography but one of consistency across all of the country. The present system has become, in effect, one of localised regulation. This has led to widely varying interpretations in different parts of the country. A national framework will help to ensure a level playing field for all providers and will deliver clarity for both the regulated and the regulator.
We are also using this opportunity to make other improvements. Importantly, for the first time the Bill allows for new duties to be placed on those involved in looking after children aged between eight and 14, or 16 in the case of disabled children. These providers will be required to demonstrate that they and their employees are suitable people to look after children.
Taken in total, these measures will radically reform the regulation of child care. This is a crucial step towards creating a level playing field for public, private and voluntary sector providers. More
Before I conclude, I should like to say a few words about the arrangements in Wales. All of the provisions in the Bill apply to Wales as well as to England. In keeping with the devolution settlement, the National Assembly for Wales will be responsible for the functions that are conferred in respect of Wales. In Wales, the responsibilities of the national care standards commission will be carried out by the Assembly itself. The Bill establishes a care council for Wales which will match the general social care council in England. For the regulation of early years provision, there will be a formal partnership arrangement between the National Assembly, which will regulate the child care services, and Estyn, the Welsh equivalent of Ofsted.
These arrangements, which follow separate consultation exercises carried out by the Welsh Assembly, will mean that the same objectives and principles will be met in Wales in a way that suits the needs and circumstances of Wales. That, of course, is the purpose of the devolution settlement. I believe that the Care Standards Bill is an example of that settlement working in practice.
The Bill will provide modern, reliable arrangements for protecting the welfare of vulnerable people. It will put in place rigorous and coherent regulatory arrangements. As well as safeguarding people against abuse, it will promote high quality standards. It will revitalise the social care workforce and provide it with the recognition that it deserves. It will benefit staff; it will benefit those who run care services; and, most of all, it will benefit those who depend on those services. I commend the Bill to the House.
Earl Howe: My Lords, the House has reason to be grateful to the Minister, for the second time in less than a week, for a lucid and balanced explanation of an important Bill. This Bill, though, unlike the one that we debated last Tuesday, scans a particularly wide horizon. It concerns itself not with a restricted range of public services provided to a small though deserving minority, but rather with the entire scope of activity embraced by the term "social services" and with a whole lot more besides, including acute and long-term healthcare. In so doing, it speaks directly to the users of such services, and potentially, therefore, to every single one of us.
On this side of the House we recognise the concerns that have led the Government to bring forward such a far-reaching measure. They are concerns that we share. Children and vulnerable adults in all too many reported cases have suffered from abuse and neglect. No one has a clear idea of what standards of care should be aspired to or treated as the norm in
It is quite plain that if these concerns are to be tackled effectively, it will be necessary to underpin any new arrangements by means of regulation. The independent acute sector has indeed been pressing for such regulation for years. The Bill that we are now considering embodies that aim. But if we decide to regulate, there are several points that we need to remember. The first is that any regulation carries with it a burden of cost. Therefore, regulation must not only have a beneficial purpose; it must also be framed and implemented in a way that is cost-effective and not overly burdensome to those directly affected by it.
The second point that we need to bear in mind is that a piece of regulation that sets standards of good practice must focus on the standards that really matter and make sure that all those within its natural purview are treated in a consistent and uniform way. In the present case one of the things that we are trying to avoid is the "unlevel" playing field--and a playing field where half the time the referee is off the pitch. When we have finished regulating we do not want to find a pitch which is still obviously unlevel and a game that cannot proceed because the referee spends all his time blowing the whistle.
Perhaps I may say at the outset that we on these Benches are able to issue a cautious welcome to a fair proportion of this Bill. But we have to recognise that the Bill is in large measure an empty box. It establishes a legislative framework with little indication of its content. That of itself may not be a cause for complaint--indeed, it may be unavoidable--but it leads to the unfortunate consequence that we can only debate headlines and not detail. The devil will lie in that detail and we shall not be made aware of it until such time as the succession of statutory instruments is laid regrettably, I have to say, under the negative procedure.
One important set of such important regulations will be those that emerge from the consultation exercise that is currently in train under the title "Fit for the Future?" on the national standards for residential and nursing homes for the elderly. I have little doubt that we can devise a way of debating some of these detailed proposals in Committee should we wish to do so.
What then of the content? I fear that there are a fair few criticisms that I wish straightway to lay at the Government's door. The first is that in one or two important respects they have retreated from the positions that they adopted, in largely reassuring terms, in their White Paper of November 1998, called Modernising Social Services. That document recognised a critical fact about social services: that they are a local service that varies from one part of the country to another in response to differing local needs and circumstances.
In recognition of that it was originally proposed that in England there should be eight regional commissions for care standards based on the boundaries of the NHS and social care regions. That proposal has been abandoned in the Bill in favour of one national care standards commission covering the whole of England. I question the wisdom of that change. The big advantage of autonomous local boards would have been their understanding of the particular needs and circumstances of their own areas--for example, in the context of health improvement programmes-- and the ability to draw their board members from representatives of users and providers in the locality.
As it is, I confess to a feeling of inner dread at the creation of a single national body issued with a truly gigantic remit, which will find it all too easy to issue edicts from a position of lofty eminence and which will all too readily come to be regarded as being remote from reality.
The White Paper also spoke about achieving greater consistency of standards across the board, with users and providers knowing exactly where they stand. I have every sympathy with that aspiration. But what are we to make of it when we find that apparently in the acute sector NHS pay beds are to be excluded from regulation? What are we to make of it when we see that day care services for adults are also omitted? Exclusions such as these make a nonsense of the so-called level playing field when a person lying in one bed or sitting in a particular chair is covered by regulatory standards and by a regime of inspection and enforcement, but a person lying in a similar room nearby or sitting in the next chair, is not. I worry about the fact that the regulation of acute hospitals has been lumped in with nursing and care homes. It is almost unbelievable that acute surgical activity should be overseen by the same body as regulates residential and nursing homes.
But I am sorry to say that I believe I know the reason. The lively debates that we had in this House during the passage of the health Bill revealed a concern shared by many of your Lordships that the Government have a duty to establish a regulatory regime to protect all patients, whether they choose to
As we debate this Bill, it is the patient, the service user, the elderly resident in a home and the child in care whom we need to keep at the front of our minds at all times. Everything that appears in this Bill or arises directly out of it, must be for the benefit of those people. That may sound like a statement of the blindingly obvious, but it is a message that, if the Government are not careful, they may lose sight of. My heart sank as I read the first set of detailed draft standards relating to residential and nursing homes for the elderly. These are some of the suggested standards: single rooms in current use must have at least 10 square metres of usable floor space or 12 square metres for wheelchair users. New single rooms must have at least 12 square metres of usable floor space. Each room must have overhead and local lighting; two chairs, at least one of which is an armchair. There must be enclosed space for hanging clothes, a TV aerial point, at least three accessible double electric sockets, and so on.
As regards nursing requirements, it is proposed that in the morning there should be ratios of five residents for each member of staff; seven to one in the afternoon and 10 to one at night, with additional staff on duty at peak times of activity.
What kind of brave new world are we in? It is prescriptiveness gone mad. It is an approach which reveals that the plot has been totally and utterly lost as regards what "care" actually means. Worse still, it is likely to prove devastating to the viability of many hundreds of nursing and residential homes throughout the country.
The real world is out there. Those who live in it feel that the regulations about to descend on them have been invented by inspectors for inspectors, without any heed to the meagre income levels of many residential homes which are barely enough to pay staff, let alone to service capital. I should add in passing that these income levels are a direct result of totally inadequate revenue support grant settlements that in turn directly affect fee rates.
To return to my comments of a moment ago, all regulation brings with it a burden of cost. From where is the money to come to upgrade all these homes, if that is what the Government are determined to insist upon? Unless a little sense is knocked into the process by Ministers--and there is still time to do that--the consequences in human terms and for social services will be dire. I do not know whether the Minister is aware of the pall of uncertainty that has been cast over the industry as a consequence of these proposals. Owners of nursing or residential homes cannot take out a mortgage unless they are either extremely lucky or they sell their properties. One correspondent recently described the situation as a blight.
The key indicators in assessing standards of care may not be those that are easy to measure, but they are the ones that matter; namely, the quality of the overall care experience. Somehow the Government must get closer to those indicators. In doing so, they must remember that the needs and preferences of service users are diverse. It is salutary to remind ourselves of one of the critical paragraphs in the White Paper, paragraph 4.48, which I shall quote in part:
The Committee stage of the Bill will lead us to examine a great deal of detail that is as yet unclear, including the commission, its composition, powers and duties, its cost and procedures. We shall have many questions to ask on the general social care
