The Penn State researchers were recently awarded a grant to teach computers to generate original design ideas and to determine their technical feasibility. This initiative has been envisaged in the interest of national security, to give the United States a competitive advantage in technology-related sectors.
The 18-month project titled, “Generative Adversarial Networks for Design Exploration and Refinement,” or GANDER has the support of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). The project will try to determine whether a computer can be trained to do multiple things. Initially, a computer would generate novel engineering design ideas and then those generated ideas would be evaluated for feasibility in the real world.
This approach to machine learning is novel in that the researchers are moving away from merely instructing a computer on how to classify the difference between items in a given environment, say the difference between a car or a bicycle. This is more of an attempt to teach computers creativity — having them generate new concepts from scratch, which is of utmost importance in aspects of engineering design.
Researchers are exploring a domain of deep learning that is referred to as generative adversarial networks (GAN) which incorporate two competing neural networks: one to generate ideas and the other to dissect and determine whether the idea is of practical use.
Demonstration of the function to train multiple networks simultaneously in a virtual environment can help with the generation of innovative design concepts. With this, the discriminator component of GAN will be aware of the embedded environment in its model. In short, an iterative process till the idea generator network can fool the discriminator network into believing that a generated idea is really viable.
To create the discriminator network, the research team plans to make use of simulation environments (i.e., not unlike those used in virtual reality) to incorporate information about physics and physical attributes of the universe so that the designs generated are grounded in the physical laws that govern the real world.
As these two paradigms come together and turn successful, it would empower a wide range of industries to explore novel designs in an accelerated manner. While anyone can generate new ideas, the challenge lies in filtering the feasible ideas from the infeasible, especially those relevant to the physical laws of nature. Any machine-generated ideas will consecutively be guided onto design feasibility after the idea-generation phase.
There seems to be many applications that DARPA is likely interested in, not just in the area of defense. What’s crucial from an artificial intelligence (AI) point of view is being able to significantly reduce the time an AI system takes to learn about the physical properties of its environment. This will have a tremendous impact on autonomous systems in general.
Training a computer to become an expert designer is something that takes human beings several years to perfect. It also requires embedding physical characteristics of the universe into a system and training it to understand such properties. If successful, the significant strength of this project will be the synergy of a novel idea with it being grounded in the reality of the physical law.

Bill Binney was a brilliant cryptologist and long-time National Security Agency (NSA) analyst, since 1997 serving as Technical Director.
Binney developed a sophisticated program named ThinThread for gathering data capable of providing clues, in real-time, of potential terrorist threats.
From Executive Producer Oliver Stone
“A Good American (2017)” from Director Friedrich Moser (The Brussels Business), tells the story of the best code-breaker the USA ever had and how he and a small team within NSA created a surveillance tool that could pick up any electronic signal on earth, filter it for targets and render results in real-time while keeping the privacy as demanded by the US constitution.
The tool was perfect – except for one thing: it was way too cheap. Therefor NSA leadership, who had fallen into the hands of industry, dumped it – three weeks prior to 9/11. In a secret test-run of the program against the pre-9/11-NSA database in early 2002 the program immediately found the terrorists. This is the story of former Technical director of NSA, Bill Binney, and a program called ThinThread.
A GOOD AMERICAN is more than just a film. We need to get rid of this mass surveillance nonsense.
Mass surveillance is not only violating everybody’s privacy – it also aids terrorists to reach their goal, because while filling the pockets of government surveillance contractors, it makes intelligence analysts dysfunctional by flooding them with useless information. Analysts have been complaining about this for years. We have their testimony from the Snowden documents. You find a detailed analysis of that in our follow-up documentary THE MAZE, a film we made in response to the series of terror attacks since Paris 2015.
A GOOD AMERICAN not only tells the amazing account of the best code-breaker America ever had – it also tells the chilling story of ThinThread, a program that managed to find a solution against being flooded by useless information through filtering out UPFRONT the 99% useless data and focusing in UPFRONT on the 1% that were real threats, providing warning in milliseconds as threat-scenarios were building up.
Now here is some good news:
a sort of ThinThread 2.0 is ready to go – built in Europe by a small big-data start-up. You find the intriguing story about it in THE MAZE. A working alternative to mass surveillance is on the table again, including a solution to really protect our fundamental right to privacy.
However, as we are writing this, a battle is still going on in our parliaments and institutions to expand mass surveillance – in US Congress, in several European Parliaments, but also in the largest democracy on earth, India. The battle is on between those who knowingly fail to provide security while stealing our privacy for the sake of power and money, and those who try as hard as they can to provide the best security while protecting our right to privacy and our fundamental freedoms.
If we want it or not, everybody is choosing sides in this battle.

UC Davis: Avocado promotion programs have increased demand
A study commissioned by the Hass Avocado Board found that promotion programs have been a worthwhile investment for producers and importers of the fruit.
Researchers at the University of California, Davis, determined that the programs from 2013-2017 have been “highly effective” in expanding U.S. demand for avocados.
Richard Sexton, Charlotte Ambrozek and Tina Saitone, all members of the department of agricultural and resource economics at UC Davis, authored the report.
“We found a positive and statistically significant elasticity of retail sales with respect to promotion expenditures in both a panel econometric model focused on local market areas and weekly data and a model of aggregate retail sales in the U.S. estimated with monthly data,” the researchers wrote.
Sexton, Ambrozek and Saitone found the benefit-cost ratio for the industry ranged from 1.6 to 3.6.
“With total HAB and member association promotion expenditures over the five-year review period totaling $293.3 million, our results suggest that, ceteris paribus, industry profits increased in a range from $469.3 million to $1,055.9 million,” the researchers wrote.
Sexton, Ambrozek and Saitone noted in the report that their conclusion should not come as a surprise to anyone familiar with the industry.
“The hass avocado success story in the U.S. in terms of the rapid increase achieved in per capita consumption, while maintaining stable or increasing real prices to producers and importers, has made avocados the envy of the produce industry, as others try, most without notable results, to emulate avocados’ successes,” the researchers wrote. “Our analysis and its predecessors demonstrate that the activities of the Hass Avocado Board and its member associations have played a fundamental role in this success.” | <urn:uuid:e1e1f20f-e8f3-46eb-8757-5bb257b34a6f> | CC-MAIN-2019-35 | https://www.producemarketguide.com/article/uc-davis-avocado-promotion-programs-have-increased-demand | 2019-08-21T23:09:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-35/segments/1566027316549.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20190821220456-20190822002456-00284.warc.gz | en | 0.949152 | 401 |

The Victorian Government’s workplace health strategy may be “coughing up blood” but health promotion continues. Last week, Australian health insurer, Medibank Private, released some statistics and cost estimates related to physical inactivity.
According to the media release, physical inactivity costing the Australian economy $13.8 billion a year. The findings are based on research conducted in conjunction with KPMG-Econtech which builds on Medibank’s 2007 research and “captures the healthcare costs, economy wide productivity costs, and the mortality costs of individuals passing away prematurely as a result of physical inactivity.”
Craig Bosworth of Medibank Private says,
“Most Australians are aware of the benefits of physical activity but this latest round of Medibank research has revealed some alarming effects of physical inactivity. An estimated 16,179 people die prematurely each year due to conditions and diseases attributable to physical inactivity and that is frightening. And whilst the majority of these are from the older population there is also a large number of people dying under 74 years of age due to physical inactivity, particularly in the male population.”
Bosworth goes on to say:
“Like other health risk factors, physical inactivity can have an adverse effect on organisations as well as individuals. Specifically, physical inactivity can impact on employee productivity by causing increased absenteeism and presenteeism, which impose direct economic costs on employers. The Medibank research has found that productivity loss due to physical inactivity equates to 1.8 working days per worker per year.”
Three audio statements on this research are available – physical-inactivity-telephone-grabs-edit
The SuperFriend Industry Funds Forum Mental Health Foundation has also released statistics on mental health in the workplace. The survey also found that 50 per cent of Australians admit to often feeling stressed and a quarter often feel depressed.
John Mendoza, Chair of SuperFriend’s Mental Health Reference Group, said, “There is increasing evidence of a link between stress in the workplace and mental illness. The cost of workplace stress to Australian business is potentially crippling.” Listen – workplace-mental-health-edit
The Superfriends survey found
- One in two Australians believe that having a few drinks is a good way to maintain or improve their mental health;
- 80 per cent of Australians believe watching TV has a positive impact on their mental health;
- Australians are putting their bodies ahead of their brains, with three-quarters of Australians engaged in activity to maintain or improve their physical health, while only 50 per cent are actively engaging in activity to maintain or improve their mental health.
- Older Australians are more likely to heed the call ‘use it or lose it’. While 57 per cent of all Australians feel they take good care of their mental health, 68 per cent of those over 50 feel they are looking after themselves emotionally.
- Australians aged 40 to 49 are the unhappiest and unhealthiest. Those in this age group are more likely to feel stressed and depressed and less likely to look after their physical and mental health.
A good starting point in planning to manage stress is the StressWise publication by WorkSafe Victoria.
For many decades, perhaps centuries, unhappiness at work was countered, to varying degrees, through the consumption of alcohol. According to the latest Australian Unity Wellbeing Index people who drink everyday are the happiest, whereas non-drinkers have a lower sense of wellbeing.
Amanda Hagan of Australian Unity summarises some of the research findings and supports the link between physical activity and positive wellbeing.

Re: Do you think Marvel will EVER get the film rights to Spider-Man?
this is my 2 cents
box office numbers for amazing were below those for spiderman 3, and thats WHEN sony was making money off of merchandising, and lets face it, without merch royalties, how can sony cover another massive pr campaign? it cost money to advertise a movie, and yes, it cost money to advertise overseas. so regardless of how great everyone thinks amazing 2 is going to be, it will probably make less than amazing , but i could be wrong. sony did release the ps3 after all.
so fox is down to X-Men and Fantastic Four, fox just hired Mark Milllar to oversee their "own" shared universe which will fail, fox will get nothing on the merchandise side of things, the last official toy they made for an "x" movie was through mini-mates for first class, which was a tru exclusive and doesnt really count has "mass" market. regardless of what hard core fan boys want to say, the x-men movies have been only "slightly" successful (none have gone over 300 million domestically or over 500 million worldwide. for comparison, the worst spiderman movie did 300+/700+) I think its only a matter before we start seeing some crossovers, because everybody wants to get paid and with no merchandising money to cover a an advertising campaign, fox will give up first, i mean really 150 mil dom bo may seem like a lot of money, but its nothing when the movies budget was over 100 mil. the x movies profits have shrank since 3, and with sony having no merchadise money, spiderman will follow suit, my predictions:
fantastic four (going up against avengers 2 and possibly justice league) marvel gets them back in 2016
xmen (wolverine will tank, xdofp will see xfc numbers at best, and if fox will not share characters and give the FANS what they want)
after 2 more flops fox will cave in 2015
if sony doesnt reach out to disney (like they did prior to avengers)
i see spiderman coming home after amazing 2.........but i dont think sony will be that stupid.
please keep insults and spell checking to yourselves

Remote work, aka. telecommuting, accounts for 70% of employees, according to statistics. But with the growth of remote work comes the challenge of managing people scattered across the city or even the globe. How to handle this problem in the most convenient way? Use time tracking software.
Using time tracking software for remote employees comes with countless benefits.
And many project managers use time tracking software to manage the work of a remote team.
Here are some of the biggest benefits of using time tracking software for remote employees. There’s a good deal of them so let’s get right to it!
Flexible business model
In today’s world, you can find many talented and highly-skilled professionals among freelancers. And freelancers work from home, from dedicated workspaces or as digital nomads. When using time tracking software, you can easily make such people part of your team by tracking their work wherever they are.
As proof, take it that some of the best companies’ teams consist entirely of remote employees, including time tracking software companies.
Additionally, when using such software your company can track budget and projects, analyze the strong and weak points. This allows learning what practices work best and, as a result, easily adapt to the changes – both in the business world and in the business model.
Visibility and alignment across different states and countries
When your employees work from different cities or even countries, it’s crucial to understand how each person works individually to align their work across the entire team so the workflow is smooth.
Time tracking software works as a time and attendance app, scheduling and planning tool, and gives you clear insight into your team’s activity in real-time.
Whether you’re paying your remote employees a fixed hourly rate or a specific amount for a project, you need to keep track of billable time. After all, not all activities are always work-related and your employees may not be aware that they’re wasting time on unbillable or unproductive tasks.
Time tracking software helps you keep payroll under control and maximize profits by providing you with accurate reports and data on the payroll. Also, you can easily avoid debt thanks to the budgeting feature that helps you stay on financial track.
Centralized hub for project management
The right time tracking software can work as a unified system not only for monitoring time tracked but also for a solid project management hub. Especially when integrated it with other tools.
You can then adjust such a system according to your needs to have all the features you need – time and budget tracking, attendance and leave management, invoicing, reports and accurate timesheets, task and project management, payroll control, and more.
Smooth & quick timesheet approval process
Nobody likes timesheets. Filling them in takes time, it’s a monotonous activity, and it’s easy for mistakes. And making sure all numbers add up is even more difficult when you manage a remote team.
Luckily, time tracking software eliminates this problem. How? It’s really simple and convenient! First, the tool automatically collects all the data. Then, it creates the timesheets. And the person responsible for timesheet approval can quickly examine the data, and approve or reject the timesheets with just one click. It’s as easy as pie!
No more wasted time on micromanagement! Time tracking software literally automates work. And here’s how:
- Automatic time tracking eliminates the need to manually fill in timesheets
- If you choose the right tool, you can automatically generate invoices – that means saved time and no mistakes in documents
- Integrations make it easy to work across different apps
- You can eliminate tedious paperwork and administrative tasks. All you have to do is to monitor the figures directly in the app
- All work is automatically documented in the detailed reports and timesheets
And so, your team can focus on their work and be more productive.
Better communication with team and clients
Time tracking software can tremendously improve your communication with clients. And that is especially helpful for managers working with remote employees, who may not always be available to update you on their work.
You can share timesheets and activity reports with clients. That way they are always informed about the progress of the project and have insight into your team’s work. As a result, communication with clients is at the highest level because they always know what’s happening with their money and resources.
How to use time tracking software – The best practices
Now that you know the benefits of using time tracking software for remote employees, it’s time you learn how to actually make it work.
It seems to be easy but there are a couple of things you should consider when implementing the tool. Let’s take a look at the best practices!
Laws and regulations
Every state and country has different labor laws concerning work hours. So, you need to make sure you’re using law compliant time tracking software. But don’t worry, most of the tools are fully compliant with global laws so you don’t have to worry about breaking the rules.
There’s a lot of controversy surrounding the subject of time tracking. For some, it is equivalent to spying on employees. But in reality, it’s a fantastic way to improve employee productivity. All you need to do is to give your employees flexibility by implementing the right tool and treat them respectfully.
After all, time tracking software is a technology that is there to save them, not spy on them.
Some tools offer the feature of screenshots but it’s not necessarily the best way to track your remote employees’ work. If you want to spy on them, sure, go ahead! But in the real world, this practice proves to decrease remote staffs’ performance and harms their morale.
Of course, screenshots may turn out to be good in some cases, for example, if your client needs the proof of work or it motivates your team. But other than that, it’s best if you avoid this feature.
👉 PRO TIP: Everything works differently for everyone. Thus, you can enable the feature of screenshots for your remote team and let them see how it works for them. Don’t make it obligatory but rather treat it as a productivity experiment.
It’s worth considering the more technical aspects of the software:
- Will it work properly on all devices?
- Will it integrate with other apps and tools used in your organization?
- Will it be easy to use?
- Is it available as a desktop and mobile app, and in a cloud version?
A lot of software has a nice design and original features but they may not necessarily correspond to your business needs. Luckily, there are plenty of tools to choose from.
The ultimate reason
Before you implement time tracking software to manage your remote team, you need to ask yourself a few key questions:
- Why do I want to use time tracking software?
- Do I really need?
- Does time tracking align with my business strategy?
- How will it help my business?
Make sure to know why you want to use time tracking software for your remote team. Implementing it for the sake of having a fancy tool will bring more harm than good.
The human factor
Time tracking software is technology but you need to remember that team members of your remote team are just people.
So, bear in mind to make them feel like they are part of this team, appreciate their work, be respectful and above all, maintain good communication.
Now that you know everything about using time tracking software for remote employees, it’s high time you implemented it in your company!
It will make your team productive, maximize profits, and help you always be on the clock! | <urn:uuid:5c561e3f-29e8-4fd0-8463-6ae48bb56179> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.outsourceaccelerator.com/articles/why-use-time-tracking-software-for-remote-employees/ | 2021-10-18T17:31:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585204.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20211018155442-20211018185442-00535.warc.gz | en | 0.924314 | 1,637 |

SEARS - BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE RANT!
Okay, I posted earlier that we were to have an over-the-range microwave installed at an empty rental unit - to be occupied in a few days. My husband is over there waiting for the installer - who calls 55 minutes after the appointment time to state he is still 30 minutes away. My husband called Sears - and what do they do - apologize and ask if he'd like to schedule another appointment. Then I called the 800 number - I was told they are really sorry and they will notify the store of a complaint - but the store may or may not respond. Okay - I just realized why I don't often shop at Sears - and won't be in the future! I have half a mind to ask my husband to cancel and buy the microwave elsewhere! hrumph! What do I want - Sears to set a standard - if scheduled installer is running late - call the store to have someone else do the installation - or have them call the customer before the scheduled time so the customer can do something else with their time . . . | <urn:uuid:b897d92a-f44f-4cd5-a088-dfbefe16525c> | CC-MAIN-2017-34 | http://frugalmomsfinancialexpressions.blogspot.com/2008/12/sears-bad-customer-service-rant.html | 2017-08-21T06:35:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-34/segments/1502886107720.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20170821060924-20170821080924-00341.warc.gz | en | 0.97511 | 230 |

Fletcher Cox, DE, Mississippi State: Believed by many experts to be perfectly suited as a defensive end in a 3-4 scheme, Cox is considered a high IQ player with a good motor. As a junior last year, Cox, 6-4, 298 pounds, was named All-SEC first team after recording 56 tackles and five sacks. Cox isn’t expected to immediately have a high impact but he has potential to develop into an outstanding edge player. | <urn:uuid:80623157-07b0-4b28-9f74-5539390ac8b7> | CC-MAIN-2014-52 | http://www.dallasnews.com/sports/dallas-cowboys/headlines/20120115-photos-alabama-trio-among-13-prospects-the-cowboys-may-target-in-the-nfl-draft.ece?ssimg=515164 | 2014-12-17T23:30:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-52/segments/1418802765002.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20141217075245-00064-ip-10-231-17-201.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.961376 | 119 |
The National Restaurant Association voiced its support for the Republican plan to reform the Affordable Care Act on Wednesday, calling it an “important first step” in reducing employers’ health care costs.
“Costly compliance issues, a shrinking risk pool and higher healthcare costs have made the current structure of ACA untenable for restaurants,” Cicely Simpson, executive vice president of policy and government for the association, wrote in a letter to House Speaker Paul Ryan. “We support passage of the American Health Care Act as a way to move us forward in reforming the employer mandate and encourage members of Congress to support this bill through Congress.”
The Republicans’ American Health Care Act, or AHCA, would repeal the tax penalty on large employers that do not provide coverage, and would make the repeal retroactive to Jan. 1, 2016. The bill would also repeal tax credits for low-wage, small employers with 25 of fewer employees that credit up to 50 percent of the employer’s premium contribution.
Details of the changes the Republicans’ plan would make to the ACA can be found on the Kaiser Family Foundation website.
The AHCA has run into difficulties in Congress, among Democrats who strongly oppose it and from some Republicans.
But employers, eager to ease regulations increased under the Affordable Care Act, have been pushing to get the law passed. And earlier this week, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce lent its backing to the reform proposal. The National Retail Federation also supports the AHCA.
Restaurants have been a vocal opponent of the ACA, particularly the employer coverage mandate and the definition of full-time work as 30 hours per week.
The industry is one of the largest private employers, with nearly 15 million workers. Many of the jobs it provides are low-wage, low-skill and often part time. Health insurance requirements have driven up costs for operators, complicating efforts to keep prices down.
“Restaurant operators who can provide health insurance benefits to their employees often find these benefits to be critical tools in recruiting and retaining employees,” Simpson wrote. “However, since the enactment of the ACA and the law’s employer mandate, restaurants have spent hundreds of additional administrative hours managing and delivering these benefits. The added time, money and resources have not improved the quality of health insurance benefits restaurants offer their employees.”
Simpson wrote that the percentage of restaurant employees covered by health insurance increased from 59 percent in 2010 to 76 percent in 2015. But she said that much of the coverage had come from sources other than the restaurants themselves. The percentage of workers covered through an employment-based plan fell from 67 percent in 2010 to 59 percent in 2015.
In addition, health care costs have risen “much faster than restaurant sales in recent years.”
Between 2006 and 2016, employer contributions for health insurance rose 51 percent, Simpson said, quoting Kaiser Family Foundation statistics. At the same time, average sales per restaurant increased 33 percent.
“This indicates that health insurance costs are taking up a larger share of the restaurant dollar,” Simpson said.
While the association is backing the AHCA, it made clear that it wants further steps taken down the line.
“Once this initial phase is complete, we look forward to working with you on additional fixes that are needed, including repealing the 30-hour rule, streamlining the employer insurance reporting requirements and repealing the seasonal worker definition,” Simpson wrote.

That teepee setting just screams comfy and serene, right? It made our couple’s engagement photos look more cuddly and romantic, most specially when the sun finally set and they started adding the candles. It looked like it was mighty fine time to camp and stay under the stars.
Here is what our bride-to-be has to say about this lovely engagement shoot…
What do you think is the overall story for this album?
I wanted the session to exude the vibe of a romantic summer evening, where we just jumped in the truck, picked a spot, and built a quilt tent to lay under and watch the night sky. The candles, quilts, and wildflowers that we used were are all things that could be thrown together on a whim, so it didn’t feel excessive, just naturally whimsical.
What inspired the outfits?
I wanted each of us to appear (mostly) as we normally do; I even asked him not to trim his beard (haha), but I chose a flowy cold-shoulder top and no shoes to add to the bohemian feel of the teepee.
What was your favorite part of the day?
The moon was the biggest I had ever seen it the night we had the session; That, along with the candle light all around us just felt like we were in a fairytale! I also loved that we used heirloom quilts from Kyle’s family to make the teepee; while the session was largely Suzanne and my vision, it gave Kyle his own special story to tell about our pictures.
Was there any Do it Yourself (DIY) projects? If so, can you describe them in detail?
Kyle and I built the quilt teepee and brought it to the location; he went to the woods with an axe and cut down the limbs for the frame and tied it together with hay baling string. The quilts and miscellaneous lace doilies, pillows, and fabric, came from Kyle’s parent’s house, and were all hand made items from his grandmothers and other family members.

Do you remember the year 2005? That was the year of Chihuahuas. Wasn’t it?
When Paris Hilton brought her beloved ‘Tinkerbell’ to premieres as part of her accessories, hundreds and thousands were raving to have Chihuahuas as pets.
Now, the year 2015 seems like the year of African pygmy hedgehogs as they are quickly becoming the newest pet trend.
These cute little spiny mammals sell for about 150 – 200 dollars in the US (£100 to £150 in UK). And with easy opportunities to buy hedgehogs online, more and more prospective owners are getting their hands on them.
Well, there are always disadvantages of such a trend, especially when it comes to exotic pets. A lot of exotic pets require special attention everyday or may not be cuddly like dogs and cats. Hence many people lose interest on them gradually and eventually they get neglected or dumped.
Talking about neglected exotic pet, just last week Hedgy, an African pygmy hedgehog was found starved and looking afraid in a wet cardboard box next to rubbish dump in south London apartment blocks.
This hedgehog had been so badly neglected; most of her spines were missing. She was found with ingrown claws and mites all over her.
Poor Hedgy was saved from her cruel fate by a passerby who found her and took her to Blue Cross animal hospital, where she was given medication to aid in a quick recovery.
‘The latest pet trend’ is the primary reason why animals like Hedgy are being dumped by their owners.
There are a lot of people who want to keep them as pets just because they are “cute” but when they find out that the animals are not easy to care for, they will just abandon them.
Hedgy would not have survived if she had been found just a little late. While she is lucky that someone found her and took her to the right place, not very many get lucky like that.
– Blue Cross Representative.
With more than 100,000 hedgehogs in UK household alone, the number of hedgies that may potentially be dumped in up coming years could be staggering; may be in the thousands.
For those who are planning to get a hedgehog, make sure you know the responsibilities and the long term commitment you are getting into because they can live for up to 8 years.
If you already have one as a pet, take good care of it and if you ever know that you can’t take care of it anymore, don’t just dump it. Give it someone who you know is interested and responsible or turn it over to an organization that will take care of it.
It is always important to do a lot of research and really ask yourself questions on being able to take care of any pet before you get it because taking care of a pet is a huge responsibility, no matter what kind of pet.

Switch out the bulbs to LEDs or CFLs
This is one of the easiest things you can do to seriously reduce your energy consumption and your home's carbon footprint. LEDs are fast overtaking CFLs as the green light of the future, although they're currently still much more expensive. Wondering what bulb is best for you? It all depends on what kind of light you're looking for. We've had good experiences with the EcoSmart LED light bulbs from Home Depot and the n:vision Soft White CFL light bulbs, also from Home Depot. Here are a few other resources to get you started:
• LEDGuide.com: Just click what your preferences are--what kind of bulb you want, your preferred power, the kind of lighting you're going for-- and this guide gives you a recommendation.
• Eartheasy.com: gives a detailed comparison breakdown of LED and CFL bulbs, including benefits, styles, terminology, and color. | <urn:uuid:ef645515-c293-47b3-8d84-fe83fa892557> | CC-MAIN-2015-06 | http://www.marketplace.org/topics/sustainability/green-tip-and-trade/switch-out-bulbs-leds-or-cfls | 2015-02-01T06:57:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-06/segments/1422122127848.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20150124175527-00105-ip-10-180-212-252.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.955736 | 200 |

Furniture that looks like it was made with scrap wood is so hot right now. But if operating a table saw is likely to result in us losing important digits, we'll opt for letting someone else make our cute reclaimed-style pieces for us. This Teak Horizon Sideboard ($1,950) looks like something we could have put together from old pallets, except that the only 'DIY' part of making it ours was entering our own credit card number into the form on the website.

Is there anything in life that you like? You sure complain an awful lot. Instead of being so negative, you could look at this a whole other way. You live in an amazing city filled with excitement. Cubs season is a small part of the year - when all of the clowns do come out. But, other riders on the trains are laughing at the harmless clowns. Their vibrancy and excitement should make you smile - it's infectious. It seems you believe you have one of the world's most difficult jobs and that you SLAVE away all day and should be bowed to and praised quietly while on your Royal Commute home, but if other people bother you and your quest for solitude so much, then maybe Chicago is not the city for you. And, if you were smart, and didn't just want to complain, like a big old Eyeore, maybe you would buy yourself a Cubs schedule and ride the bus instead of the train on Cubs game nights. Just a suggestion. But. I guess it is easier to just complain and be a big negative baby.This comment was from someone calling himself Justin. He's someone who doesn't know me personally, has never met me, and only has this blog on which to base his opinion of me. Let me say from the outset, that I don't mind people disagreeing with me; I welcome open and healthy debating. What I DO mind is someone judging me, attacking me and insulting me, specifically someone who does not know anything about me or my life, or even, for that matter, if what I write is the truth.
Simply writing something like, "Oh the fans amuse me on the train, I don't seem to mind them" would be totally acceptable. However saying "you seem (to) believe you ... should be bowed to and praised" and "Chicago is not the city for you" has absolutely nothing to do with what I wrote about.
I admit that there is sometimes more sarcasm than giddiness on my blog. I write about my observations in the world. If a thing strikes me as funny, hell yeah I'll write about it. But if something bothers me, like ad hominems committed against me, then I will write about that too.
For those of you who do NOT know me, you don't know that I am mostly a goofball; that I am silly and usually say the wrong thing; that I trip over my tongue seemingly more often than other people; that I walk too slow and react too fast; that I am absent-minded and laugh at myself; that the only place I attempt to take myself seriously is on this blog; and that those I am lucky to call my friends consider me charming and lovable.
This was not the first time Justin has left comments such as this (he's left them on The BF's blog as well), so I had to take additional measures. A few months ago I had to begin monitoring comments to decide if I want to publish or reject them. And since then, I have always rejected Justin's. He must never go back to read if I have responded to his comments, otherwise he would see his comments are never published and would, hopefully, cease commenting altogether.
I will continue to reject Justin's comments. So, Justin, I suggest starting your own blog where you can post your own rants and complaints, just like I do here. Only please do so without personally attacking someone you'll never meet. | <urn:uuid:17e70314-c06d-431c-bb68-c774731b71ca> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | http://www.viewfromthejeep.com/2007/05/ad-hominem.html | 2021-09-27T06:56:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780058373.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20210927060117-20210927090117-00596.warc.gz | en | 0.983772 | 709 |

Sometimes I wonder if everything in my programs run as I planned it. One easy way to follow-up what the EXE is just performing
is to put a MESSAGE() or a STOP() in the source with some meaningful text. That way I can see whether a variable has got the right value or not
But that is a quite pedestrian and, I have to confess, rather clumsy way to "debug" a program.
With the help from the guys on the Clarion-Chat on Skype, namely Mark Goldberg and Olivier Cretey, I found a very easy way to improve my debugging.
First of all, you need a Third-Party-Tool called DebugView. It was written by Mark Russinovich and Bryce Cogswell, who distributed their tools under the label SysInternals for free. These guys were so smart that Microsoft finally hired them. Mark and Bryce agreed with Microsoft that their toolbox is continued and remains free! You can get the entire toolbox from this website http://www.sysinternals.com/ which then redirects you to Microsofts TechNet. Go there and pick DebugView (its under "Miscellanous Utilities") or better get the entire Sysinternals Suite and install it on your machine!
Back to Clarion, your first step is to open Global Properties -> Embeds and insert this into your Global Map:
module('') OutputDebugString(*CString),raw,pascal,Name('OutputDebugStringA') end dbgView(String DebugString)The next step is to put the following into an embed in Program Procedures:
dbgView Procedure(String DebugString) DB CString(SIZE(DebugString)+1) ! define a variable that has the same size as the parameter we receive plus 1 character Code DB = DebugString OutPutDebugString(DB)
dbgView Procedure(String DebugString) DB &CSTRING ! define a variable that has the same size as the parameter we receive plus 1 character CODE DB &= NEW CSTRING( SIZE(DebugString) + 1) DB = DebugString OutputDebugString(DB) DISPOSE(DB)Now you can use DebugView to watch right into your EXE using this new function dbgView()!
? dbgView('The LOOP starts in the very next line') LOOP i = 1 TO RECORDS(CUSTOMERS) BY 1 IF somecondition THEN ? dbgView('somecondition found, Break should happen now') BREAK END END ? dbgView('The LOOP has just finished at Record-No. ' & i)You will now see the messages in your dbgView()-statements being displayed in the DebugView window.
Thats all! Add salt and pepper as you like....
You can download the sample source (Clarion 6.3 EE). This page was made on 16.05.2011.
DebugView works well with Clarion 5.5 also.
To make it even easier, the Clarion-style, here is a template that includes the source for you.
However, when you are new to Clarion, please set up a test application before, where you add the source manually. Then you might inspect the template source itself. Just to understand, what happens under the hood.
The template: wodbgview.zip
If you are new to Clarion, use following steps to add the template to your IDE (Clarion 10 or higher):
Extract the template from the ZIP to the directory, where all 3rd-Party templates are located.
in my case it is
IF EXISTS('drive:\path\yourProject.APP') THEN Global:DebugON = TRUE ELSE Global:DebugON = FALSE ENDor shorter
Global:DebugON = CHOOSE(EXISTS('drive:\path\yourProject.APP'), TRUE, FALSE)Please note, this variable is not in the original source at the top of this page. I added it for the template. So, inspect the template and you will find it.

6 on Health: Researchers say even light drinking can increase risk of breast cancer
The American Society of Clinical Oncology says that even light drinking can increase a woman's risk of breast cancer.
It can also increase the chances for a type of esophageal cancer.
Researchers reviewed previously published studies and found that five and a half percent of all new cancers and nearly 6 percent of all cancer deaths worldwide could be blamed on alcohol.
They also found that heavy drinkers face a much higher risk of mouth , throat cancer and liver cancers along with a slightly higher risk of colorectal cancers.
According to a doctor's group, you shouldn't drink if you want to reduce your cancer risk.

Solutions that have emerged to fight the pandemic will probably stick around
By Neil Sutton
If you’re anything like me, you have probably come to accept this COVID version of reality and are now governing yourself accordingly.
When you leave the house, you grab your wallet, keys, phone and mask. You probably glance down occasionally in the grocery store without even thinking about it, just to make sure you’re following the arrows stuck to the floor. And your scheduled meetings are most likely conducted via webcam, so you know when to don your business casual attire.
When the pandemic first started, I received a trickle of press releases from security companies that had configured software or services to address the sudden need to manage social distancing or temperature checks. Now, five months into it, I’m hard-pressed to think of a major security provider that hasn’t adopted the ability to offer these kind of services, either by adjusting their own technology or partnering with another company that can.
People and companies adapt. The security industry has adjusted quickly to meet these new, but now commonplace, challenges. In a very real sense, this is a continuation of the path the industry was already headed down — providing solutions and services that do more than meet a client’s security requirements. Operationally, many these companies were already tackling issues like queue management and room occupancy, so adapting analytics for mask detection or social distancing is a logical next step. Flexibility is everything during these strange days and the industry has more than demonstrated the ability to think on its feet.
Much of this issue of SP&T is devoted to assessing the impact of the pandemic, both in terms of how it has affected the bottom line for security service providers as well as the opportunities that have arisen.
Based on the results of the business survey conducted by SP&T News and CANASA, few security businesses have escaped the severe economic effects of pandemic with most indicating a drop in revenue and staff layoffs or furloughs. However, many of these companies have also indicated that some areas of their business have grown during the pandemic, including guarding, surveillance, remote monitoring, touchless access and the aforementioned temperature monitoring stations.
Our two other feature stories are devoted to the last two of these. Elevated body temperature devices are helping to address today’s needs, but touchless, or near touchless, access control devices are likely to stick around long after the pandemic. The investments in touchless are being made now, particularly as organizations gear up for back-to-work or back-to-school — that may signal a long-term preference as users become ever more cognizant of their immediate environment and its potential impact on their personal health.
Hopefully, the pandemic will soon be a shared memory rather than shared reality, but its lessons will persist long into the future. The innovation that is occurring now in the security industry will no doubt help avert, or manage, future health crises. | <urn:uuid:9afccb81-841b-49e4-8318-1c44557882cb> | CC-MAIN-2021-31 | https://www.sptnews.ca/always-innovating/ | 2021-07-28T04:39:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-31/segments/1627046153521.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20210728025548-20210728055548-00024.warc.gz | en | 0.973153 | 614 |
Baahubali 2: The Conclusion collects over 1000 crores at the global box office within 10 days of its release
The epic film that is Baahubali 2: The Conclusion has become the biggest film in the history of Indian cinema. The flick has earned a total of rupees 1000 crore at the worldwide box office and counting. Baahubali 2 was released in a number of languages to suit an audience spectrum across the country, including Hindi, Tamil, Telegu, Malyalam and Kannada. Just in 10 days of its release in over 9,000 theatres, it has shattered any previous box office collection records for other films.
Baahubali 2: The Conclusion is the sequel to the hugely successful Baahubali: The Beginning. The first film earned an amount to the tune of 650 crores at the box office, and was still more commercially successful than any other film in Indian cinema. The mythical tale of Mahishmati narrated by Kattappa has captured the imagination of Indian as well as global audiences with its relatable characters, believable acting and of course, mind-blowing VFX visuals.
The film itself was created on a high budget, since the prequel already did so well. Baahubali 2: The Conclusion continues the story of how Amarendra Baahubali was killed by Kattappa. The film stars Prabhas as Amarendra, Rana Daggubati as Bhallala Deva, Anushka Shetty as Devasena and Satyaraj as Kattappa.
Already Bollywood is feeling a little left out, after a South Indian film has broken any and all records. Veteran legend Rishi Kapoor made snide remarks on Twitter about the lack of such epic movies being made by Bollywood and that the industry is lagging behind. He said, “Seeing Bahubali 2 now. Interval. Chat later about the film. I want to know where has this film been shot? I want a 2 BHK there! Any agent? “BAHU”t”BALI”yaan chadengi filmon ki to match this film’s triumph and business. An Indian celebration.Glad am part of this business of films.”
Meanwhile, Kunal Kohli has put in his opinion about Bollywood and Baahubali 2: The Conclusion. He commented through his Twitter account: “So the stars of #Bahubali2 didn’t go on reality & comedy shows & make an ass of themselves doing silly things & answering silly q&a’s”.

Chloé Marcie Medium Leather Crossbody Bag Review
This past Christmas, Rob gifted me the Chloé Marcie Medium Leather Crossbody Bag. Talk about best fiancé ever! I had been eyeing this bag for so long & I couldn't have been more grateful to receive it as a gift! Not only is it gorgeous, it's also practical. If you've been eyeing this bag too, you need to get it, and here's why!
First, let's talk size. For a crossbody bag, this bag is huge. It's SO roomy which is one thing I look for in a crossbody bag. I can fit my LV wristlet, keys, phone, lip balm, phone charger, MacBook charger, sunnies, and any other random stuff I may be bringing back and forth between home and work.
It has two pockets. When you open the flap, there is a pocket on the outside. Then, there is another pocket on the inside of the bag. I love the outside pocket because it provides easy access to my phone (I have the iPhone 7 plus and it fits in that pocket perfectly). The inside pocket is great for lip balm and easy access to my debit card or cash if I'm out and about running errands.
The mini Marcie is totally trending and I think it's adorable; however, I don't know how practical it is. After all, spending money on a designer bag is an investment and I personally want to be sure that the bag I am buying is practical!
The quality of this bag is unlike any other I own. The leather is SO soft and the bag is just gorgeous. I am impressed with how well made it is. Compared to my LV Never Full, this bag is a softer, pebbled leather. The stitching is a beautiful detail and the lining is also nice. I love the gold hardware & that the strap is adjustable.
The color I chose is cashmere grey. My wardrobe is pretty neutral, so it goes with everything. The abstract white and blush nude were close second choices, but ultimately the grey won. The Marcie satchel also comes in the lighter colors, so that might be next on my list 🙃
Thanks so much for stopping by!

This is a page to help remember Walter Feuerhake. My name is Joerg Feuerhake. I am Walter's grandson. Since grandpa was born in 1915 his life was mainly traumatized by world war II. Though he desperately wanted to become a joiner and carpenter and wanted to run his own business he spent his entire youth, up to his 30th year in armed service, because he was ordered to by the government. He always told a lot of stories about war time they very often came with a sentence which, in my eyes became his motto: I do not wish upon my fiercest enemy, what i have been through. Since he repeated most of the stories lots and lots in different contexts and from different points of view i consider them true and will tell them here.
To point out again what Walter thought about his time as member of the German Wehrmacht consider the following: Walter went blind when he was 77. Since he couldn't hear a lot as well he was mainly cut off all human activity. He considered this handicap as 'the lord striking at him because he killed so many people'.
At last one can state that Walter in fact was an honourable man at least for following his plan to become joiner and carpenter, raising his daughter, being a loving father, husband and a respected joiner and carpenter... ...as he always wanted to.
Places and Times
I consider it important to have a short outline of Walter's life. I kept this part quite short. Dates are not given accurately. That won't harm a general understanding of his life.
This following gives a short outline of Walter Feuerhake's pre war carrer. Since he was determined to become a joiner and carpenter he did a four years apprenticeship enabling him to go either into the furniture business as well as to the constructionsite business. in '36 war becomes tangible for Walter the first time.
This paragraph gives an outline about the whereabouts of Walter during active armed service. Again I'd like to state his motto: I do not wish my fiercest enemy, what i have been through. Walter did 'ex post' not consider this time fighting for Volk and Vaterland but rather as trying to get one's derrier home without perforation. Remember: Walter was determined to become a joiner and carpenter and run his own business.
The following are stories that happened before World War II. I could not verify them but I believe they are true for they've been told more than 'repeatedly '.
Boxing the Butcher's Son
In the late 20ties, early 30ties German politics was mainly characterized by one mean. violence. The fascist 'Sturm Abteilung' as well as communist and social democrat groups were fighting for the hegemony on the streets. In this time Walter had trouble with an SA leader in Springe. I don't know for what good reason. I guess there was some pub argument of 'political opponents'. Nobody really liked the SA leader because nobody really liked the SA. The SA were mainly a bunch of guys storming into clubs and pubs beating up the guests.
Anyway. The SA leader was the son of a butcher and had some reputation and had fought some fights already. So the evening came. The referee asked them to shake hands. This was replied by the SA man with: You'll lay here soon. Walter was scared but still answered, 'let's see who's off his feet when the fat lady sings.'
Well, Walter received some heavy blows but could land a lucky punch. The SA leader went not only against the ropes, limiting the ring but fell over them. Grandpa always claimed that he landed in a iron tub receiving some additional cuts and bruises. Afterwards he was asked by some 'talent scouts' to fight professionally. He had to deny the offer because he already was drafted.
This is just a little funny. Walters favourite sport was Geräteturnen ('aparatus gymnastics'). On on tournament the had build high bars for competition. Walters coach went to check the device and found it was build not very firmly. So he went to Walter and told him, he should go to the high bars as the first of the team and he should heavily hang in there.
Walter did so. The whole device broke to pieces and Walter got scene applause. Walter always told this story to emphasize his physical strength, which helped him through the war. This story was always followed by some war-time story.
Some of Walter's biggest sources of pre war stories are the making of a renaissance room in the joiner and carpenter's workshop he was apprentice in. He especially liked this one: when the whole thing with bed, mirror, bookshelf and wardrobe was assembled some finishing was then done. Among it Walter had to blow dust into the carved edges to make it look old. Walter thought even further. He took a small drill and went to the wardrobe. The master asked 'What's this going to be?'. Walter answered he just wanted to drill some holes in it to make it look as if wood worms would live there. He immediately received a 'set of hot ears'...
Second renaissance story dates a little later. The whole thing was delivered and assembled in the rooms of the very well-off customer. What happened is something every joiner and carpenter knows. The air humidity and room temperature is different and the whole construction starts 'working'. Result: The doors do not close properly and the drawer makes weirdo noises. So, they send the apprentice to fix the problems. What he did was drive a wedge under the wardrobe on the back side and wax the drawers with a candle. Walter always said: if you need to fix things at the customers place take a candle with you. The point came where he received a tip of 20 Mark which was half his monthly salary as an apprentice. He was king of the pub the following nights.
This next paragraph shall be introduced with one of Walters 'bon mots'. It is a little indecent so if you are easy to insult please skip right to the next headline: 'I know what starving is. If one would shit on my pan cake, I'd cut off the margin'
Furthermore, the next paragraph comes with no pictures. At first because I have none and at second to make sure the whole page does not look like a Landser-Heft.
Behind the Fence, Into the Gutter
In Walters eyes 'good luck' was the most important thing when trying to survive. When they where already on German soil again, near Guben, his comrades where in a house getting ready to march off. He was outside already carrying a heavy machine gun. He noticed a guy aiming at him from behind a fence 50 to 100 metres away. He rose the gun and triggered at once. The blow of the gun threw him at the wall of the house behind him. The guy behind the fence died. But his shot went off while he fell, hitting the gutter right above Walter.
'It could well have been the other way round.' Walter used to say.
Walters unit lay dug in. He stood with a commander. The commander was a youngster. More medals then days in the field Walter would have said. Walter noticed a light artillery blow 200 metres to the right of them. Half a minute later he noticed a blew about 200 metres to the left of them. Walter thought: 'Wait they aim at us! They do 'einscheren' ('to scissor in', that means you deliberately fire left and right besides the real target and by this experiment calculate precisely how much explosive you need and at what angles the cannon should point to). He could shout 'run for cover' but it was too late. The stand received a full blow. The fortification fell on the man in the stand. Walter couldn't tell how long he lay passed out. When he became concious he neither couldn't move, breathe nor see anything. He felt his American gun in his hand. He took it from someone who did not need it any more. For the lack of breathing he passed out. Again Walter could not tell for how long. When he became conscious the sand covering his right hand began to move. In fact he could move his hand. So he started digging towards his mouth. That worked after all. Eventually he managed to dig himself out of the sand. Walter remembered that when he actually got free he spent one hour trying to get his boots out of the dirt. He was totally in shock. He was found by a Red Cross truck still trying to rescue his boots. Now he realized that he had lost his voice completely due to the trauma I guess. The whole incident left Walter physically unwounded. Physically...
In the end a guy with an amphibian vehicle took him to the hospital cross the river Dnjepr. This very guy was killed by a sniper bullet when trying to turn back to his unit. 'The guys died like flies in these days' Walter often said.
When I lived in the fifth storage of an apartment block in the very late 1970ies, early 1980ies Walter was not able to take the elevator. He hated crowded or tight spaces. He could not take public transport during rush hour etc. etc.
Wow that Russia is a damned mighty big land. While in the Ukraine he once tried to take a shortcut right through a sunflower field. Since Sunflowers are way bigger than a man he got lost for more than three days in just that one field.
The unit lays fortified and cannot move because there are snowfalls. The snowfalls are not heavy but one cannot see through it. Next day snowfalls are over, the day is clear. Walter watches the plains in front and thinks 'wait!' something 's wrong here. He goes to the commander telling him that he feels that something 's wrong but he does not know what. It was just a certain feeling. The commender told him to calm down. Finally he allows Walter to have a look through the heavy scissors binocular. He may have a look to figure that everything is at its best. When Walter looked through the binocular he asked what the bumps in front could probably be? Have they been there when snowing started? The commander was not sure. Walter said:'I tell you what those bumps are. These are the Soviets. They have sneaked towards us while it was snowing and in one or two hours they will be here shouting 'Hurraa!'. His suspicion was true. His unit fired first so it where them who died this day.
Once more Walter used to say: 'It could have been the other way round' and 'God they spent a whole night and day covered with snow just to throw us out of the land, they fought fiercely, good lord.'
Every artillery unit has an outpost close to the front. they figure out what targets are most 'valuable' and communicate the coordinates back to the unit. that was done by field telephone, so wired communication. The alimentation of the guys in the outpost was organised by the unit in the back. How? They sent a guy with the things needed and this guy would along the wire all the way to the outpost.
When this story happened the unit already lost two or three guys trying to reach the outpost. The man in the outpost ran short of food and water already. Since Walter was one of the most experienced in the unit they sent him to reach the outpost since they suspected an ambush somewhere on the track. Ok, Obergefreiter Feuerhake went off with the wire in his hand. He went through the woods at night. That means that one needed to drop the wire and then find it again in the dark. After some hours he reached a house and thought 'ok here we are'. He just wanted to shout the 'secret words' identifying him so that the post standing in the dark would not shoot him as a suspected enemy. The post just lighted a cigarette and for a second one could see the soviet uniform of the post. Walter sneaked back right away, thinking that the outpost was raided. When turning back he told the commander the outpost was captured. The commander replied that cannot be i have the guys on the phone. How can this be? The soviets used the same means of communication. What the soviet unit did in fact was lay their wire right across the German one. Walter's unit was the first to notice this 'coincidence' that already caused the death of two young men. Well, Walters unit figured out which house the Soviet outpost must be in and destroyed the whole building with one shot.
It could have been the other way round as well. By the way Walter spoke of the enemy with a lot of respect. 'The Russians fought fiercely, good lord' or 'We came to their country and they have thrown us out, heck, they did' Walter often said.
Field Kitchen Blast
One special thing about heavy cannons was that bullet and explosives are stored and loaded separately. The reasons where that it was easier to dose the amount of explosives needed to deliver the bullet over a certain distance. Anyway the explosives where stored in small sacks. When they got wet they became useless ... for the cannon not for the cook. Cause they served as a very good burning accelerator. You just take a wet sack of explosives, coals to set fire to and very few splinters of wood. Set fire to it and wait. Well, his 'heroes dead', as the announcement for his parents called it, was one of the most useless he had encountered. He went off with his field kitchen.
Casualties in Poland
Walter often referred to the Poland campaign (raid?) as the most exhausting campaign because they had to march for days and days without proper sleep. In his unit they had only very few enemy contact but still no sleep. They only 'casualty' they had was a guy who fell asleep on the back of his horse which was dragging a cannon. The cannon rolled over him. This was the very first time grandpa had to make a coffin.
Casualties in the Soviet Union
On the very first morning when they tried to cross a river they had six fallen unit members. Walter often said: 'when I saw the fierce anger which they welcomed us with I though this time it will be an augenblick different' augenblick: a blink of eye, a little bit.
First I'd like to point out the the name Thelma is not the real name of the person talked about. Walter's first field of business was the quite cycle proof business of making coffins. In the late forties early fifties it was part of his job to carry the 'customers' to the cemetery.
Poor Thelma died in a hospital about 40 kilometres from her village. Walter went with two helpers to fetch her and bring her back. The return was delayed three days. Then they returned on their horse dragged carriage. Thelma was in her coffin in the back. They had stopped at every pub from Wernigerode to the village. That made about 10 stops either way. Thelma's relatives were horribly disappointed.
Imagine yourself in the midst of the cold war in a village on the 'wrong' side of the iron curtain. Not far from the border. The sight of armed uniformed man is common. You are the only joiner and carpenter in that village and therefore you receive a large fraction of your job from the mayor. Many farmers, especially those who owned lots of acres fled to the west. Among them was an old friend of your wife.
Your wife does not want to loose this friendship and therefore plans to visit her in the west. As an excuse she claims to visit your sister, who is living in the western part as well, when applying for the visa. Yes, one needed a visa to travel 50 kilometres to see ones closest relatives. The authorities denied approval stating that closer 'examination' led to the suspicion that she wanted to visit enemies of the state, the escaped farmer and his wife, and therefore could not be approved to go. Hm, they've been right actually.
Now, what would you do now? Walter acted as follows. He stopped all carpentry for the village and other public customers. Since his core business were coffins this was easy to do. Every time the mayor asked for his doors, window frames, whatever Walter replied: 'You know the deal. My wife wants to travel.' The mayor thought he could play tough and called for the inspector of the 'Arbeiter und Bauerninspektion'.

We all love to look good each and every day. And while one’s image is really important, you don’t have to break a bank for you to look good. You don’t even have to wear designer clothes from head to toe for you to look stylish and fashionable.
Hacks to look fashionable without breaking the bank
What you need is to learn how to build up your wardrobe and tricks that will help you get your dream look without spending too much money. Have a look at these tips and give them a try:
1. Trade your outfits
It’s good to donate but if you are working on a budget, consider trading your clothes with your friends. If you have clothes you no longer wear, give them out to your friends in exchange for what they no longer need in their wardrobes.
2. Revisit your wardrobe
If you are like most people, you must be having a bunch of clothes that have not seen the light of day in years. Not that they are old or anything, you just forgot about them for some reason. Before you complain that you have nothing to wear for that Saturday night event, dig into your wardrobe. You might get a forgotten outfit that is still fashionable and suits the occasion.
3. A little DIY
Well, this is not for everyone but if you are creative and good at DIYs, then you can transform even an old outfit and make it look fashionable. For instance, you could convert an old pair of jeans into a stylish pair of rugged shorts. How awesome?
4. Lipstick is your best friend
Full makeup may make you look more fashionable if you know how to do it yourself. But if you are not an expert in the area, at least learn how to apply your lippie right. It improves your look even when the rest of your face has no makeup.
5. Shop second hand
Shopping second hand allows you to get unique clothes (even designer) at very affordable prices. Make Toi, Gikomba markets and stores like Think Twice your friend and you will get fashionable outfits.
6. Shop off season
Valentines may seem far away but it’s just a few weeks away. If you are planning to buy a dinner outfit for Valentine’s day, get it as early as now. You will get a good deal at an affordable price than getting one at the last minute.

Trade finance is a specialist area of banking which helps buyers and sellers of goods and services to access higher levels of finance for trade than would be achieved through conventional lending.
It can support and de-risk funding gaps between the time exporters have to pay for their own supplies, and the time they receive their final payment for the end product.
Trade finance should not be seen as inaccessible. While your account manager at the bank may not be an expert on all available options, he or she will be able to consult a trade finance adviser. Even small firms should not be nervous about investigating the possibilities. Because it is lending against the value of an overseas order, businesses that have been turned down for loans and overdrafts may be successful in raising money with a trade facility.
Letters of credit are among the most common trade finance instruments. These address a fundamental concern of exporters that they do not want to ship their goods out without payment, while at the same time addressing the corresponding reluctance of importers to pay for goods they have not yet received.
A letter of credit (LC) is a guarantee of payment issued (for a fee) by the buyer’s bank, subject to the seller meeting agreed conditions such as supplying their goods or services to the right standard.
A credit period can be built into the LC, whereby the payment is made within 30 or 60 days of goods being shipped.
A UK bank may then confirm and then discount the LC, meaning they can provide funds in advance of receiving payment from the buyer’s bank, helping the seller with working capital.
Documentary collection is a slightly weaker but generally cheaper alternative to using letters of credit. Under this system, exporters use their UK bank to issue shipping documents to the buyer’s overseas bank, along with instructions that payment should be made before the buyer takes ownership of the goods at the docks.
While it does not guarantee your buyer will pay you, the element of formal communication between banks can reduce the risk of losses.
Trade credit insurance is an insurance policy taken out to cover the risk of non payment from an overseas buyer.
A claim can be made under the policy if for example the buyer becomes insolvent causing the exporter a loss or wasted costs; there are unacceptable delays in payment (more than six months overdue); or payment is blocked by currency controls or political unrest.
This type of cover is useful if an exporter needs to offer credit to win an order, but no letter of credit is available from the buyer. Having an invoice credit-insured can also allow banks to advance funds to an exporter, as payment risk is reduced.
Bonds are promises to pay sums of money if contractual obligations are not met, and are generally issued by the seller’s bank to the buyer’s bank for a fee. For example, a bank can issue a performance bond which gives the overseas buyer confidence that if you do not deliver your goods or services to an agreed quality (or at all), the buyer may be able to reclaim money paid in advance under the bond.
The issuing of bonds can form a crucial part of contract negotiations. Offering your customer a bond can lead to improved payment terms.
As you can see, there is a wide range of options that can help you with cash flow as you gear up to meet your export orders, while managing the risk of bad debts.
Banks and brokers can often help with trade finance, but where they cannot meet all your needs, you can talk to UK Export Finance, the UK’s export credit agency. We are tasked with bridging gaps in the trade finance market – and there is a network of export finance advisers like me who are your first point of contact.
We provide information for free, and can signpost you towards all kinds of support, not just government support.
Remember, these are just a few of your trade finance options and there is a wide range of other solutions available that can help you generate additional working capital, from a cross-section of service providers. UK Export Finance can help signpost these too, alongside all the other service providers who will form your network of export support. So, you are not alone in facing these challenges. | <urn:uuid:cb85639c-05ea-4b8f-909d-532a19132bc7> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://www.investni.com/features/what-is-trade-finance-how-can-it-help-you-export.html | 2018-06-21T22:00:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267864300.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20180621211603-20180621231603-00528.warc.gz | en | 0.961962 | 862 |

If you See Coronavirus-related Price Increases, Call 12315
26 Jan 2020
The State Administration of Market Supervision issued a public announcement yesterday, calling for strengthening the supervision of the price of masks, disinfection supplies, antiviral drugs and related medical devices, and maintaining the stability of market prices for epidemic prevention supplies.
The public is requested to actively supervise, and if they find collusion, price increases or other price violations, please dial 12315 to report immediately.
The announcement pointed out that in accordance with laws and regulations; such as the Price Law, where fabricating and disseminating price increase information, hoarding a large number of market-supplying epidemic prevention supplies, substantially increasing sales prices, collaborating with price increases, market supervision departments at all levels must strictly follow, quickly investigate and deal with, and expose these cases in a timely manner.
Retailers must effectively fulfill their social responsibilities, operate strictly in accordance with the law, exercise their legitimate pricing power legally and reasonably, strictly implement the price intervention measures and emergency measures formulated by the government in accordance with the law, and achieve clear price marking and honest operation. Local market supervision departments should increase their efforts in price supervision and maintain market order.

An automated external defibrillator (AED) is a lifesaving machine that is used to check a person's heart rhythm and let the operator of the machine know whether or not the person's heart needs a jolt to reestablish a normal heart rhythm. If the person does need a shock to the heart because of a cardiac emergency, the machine verbally informs the operator. The shock that is administered, referred to as defibrillation, helps the faltering heart to establish an adequate rhythm once more.
Defibrillation is considered one of four critical steps for increasing the chance of survival of a person who has experience sudden cardiac arrest. The first step is providing quick access to medical care, which involves calling 911 or another number for emergency care. The next step involves administering CPR. The third step involves using the AED to provide early defibrillation. Step four involves providing advanced cardiac support when needed. Defibrillation is the most important step in ensuring the return to a normal heart rhythm for a victim of sudden cardiac arrest.
The first step in using an AED is turning the machine on. When the power is on, the AED tells the person operating it to place two electrodes on the chest of the person who may be experiencing heart rhythm abnormalities. These electrodes are provided with the machine. The AED monitors the person's heart rhythm through the electrodes. In the event that the heart requires a shock, the machine not only tells the rescuer to provide defibrillation, but it also instructs him to press the shock button and step away from the affected individual while the shock takes place.
An AED is designed to be very easy to use, and it is about the size of a laptop. However, training is considered necessary in order to give the rescuer a sound understanding of how defibrillation works as a part of cardiac emergency rescue and stabilization. Because an AED can save lives, police, fire personnel, and emergency medical technicians are typically trained in their use. Sometimes laypeople may be called on to use them as well, and there are laws in each state that protect ordinary people who use them to attempt to save victims of cardiac emergencies. These machines are found in a number of places where large numbers of people gather, such as malls, schools, community centers, corporate buildings and even sports stadiums; airports typically have them as well.

These 7 Things May Kill Your Friendship Forever
Witty, Whacky, Wicked, Eccentric or Obsessive, friends make life and they ensure that no matter what ups and downs are there we all have got friends to bring us back to being insane, inane and fun. But you may be killing your friendship if you bring these 7 things in between your relationship with your friend and yourself.
1. Ego: It crops up in any friendship and sits there slowly growing on you like a parasite waiting for your friendship to die a slow death. If however this ego is beaten to death, the friendships last forever. We all know that no one is perfect, but ignoring the imperfectness of a friend is what makes friendship different from other relations. These imperfections if not ignored may give way for egoism to create a rift amongst the best of friends.
2. Arrogance: Well this is not limited to only friendship and can extend to any form of relationship. Be it a hubby-wifey or a guru- disciple. Arrogance has that caliber of killing any form of mutual trust and belief that the two parties may though exist to be in constant touch but may not be sharing that bond of adhesiveness that binds the relations into a stronger unbreakable thread.
3. Too much of Competition: It is said a little bit of competitiveness brings with it a healthier friendship and a long lasting one too. But what if that competiveness extends beyond the threshold line and surpasses into the terrain of pulling the other one down. This happens usually when there is little of the resource available and more fight between.
4. Expectations: He did not tell me that; she did not come on my call; I thought he would have not laughed over me with all of them; she could have at least told to me. All these incomplete sentences mentioned have hidden angst of expectations. He could have called me. Well if he didn’t, you could have. But what is the point in sitting over and brooding like a bilious pigeon. Instead of expecting, learn to give and forsake in friendship. That is what true friendship is all about.
5. Intrusions: Suddenly your best friend has another best friend and is giving more attention to him or her than you. This builds up an unforeseen jealousy. It may not be love between you two that has carved the paths for jealousy, but it’s an insecurity bound jealousy that develops when the friendship you already have with someone is too strong from your side, and slightly weaker from the other. The other person might be just thinking of you as one of his another friend while you think or subconsciously want to be his only best friend or buddy and see others and intruders.
6. Possessiveness: Slightly overlapping with the above, possessiveness however arises when one has or starts to develop some mushy feelings for his/her friend. The mere sight of him or her brings a smile on your face and you feel light and jovial staying with that person or around him or her throughout. His or her talking to other sex people around them is envied by you and you start feeling possessive about the person. It is however of lesser intensity than a person would behave in jealousy.
7. One sided Love: It is best, if your lover is also your friend. But what if he/she is not interested or inclined towards you? There can be two things that may happen to your friendship depending upon how you decide to take it. There are people who agree to face the odd and humbly recede from the scene, thus saving their friendship. There are others who keep coaxing and forcing until savagely ruining the old bond once held and then live with bitter memories forever. Nobody wishes that to happen. So it is best to learn, forgive, forsake, accept the inevitable and move on.
These are just a few examples, but anything can make or break this bond, that has been defined as the purest of all. Try avoiding these and learn what a 90’s old series F.R.I.E.N.D.S. taught us; “How to carry on friendship forever.”
I’ll be there for you, coz you’re there for me too…

THIS MAHOGANY WAS EXTRACTED FROM INDIGENOUS LAND
At Preston Bradley Hall Foyer, Chicago Cultural Center
Many of the sumptuous materials from which today's Chicago Cultural Center was built were only made available by the colonial dispossession of Indigenous people and extraction of resources from Indigenous land.
Most of the stately doors in the building, for example, were constructed in part or whole from mahogany wood. British companies began to extract mahogany from colonized lands in the West Indies, Mexico, and Central America in the 1820s. By the late 19th century, when the Chicago Public Library/G.A.R. Memorial Hall was constructed, logging had depleted mahogany stocks and deforested landscapes in the Americas, leading to the intensification of mahogany extraction in other sites of British colonialism, in particular West Africa and East India. The mahogany used in these doors was taken from East India.
Logging in all of these colonial sites devastated the plant, animal, and human systems that harvested wood was enmeshed within. Along with the clearing of forests by logging, forest ecosystems were damaged and destroyed by road building, the harvesting of animals for food for loggers, the dispersal of Indigenous communities that had sustained forests, and many other interventions.
In short, the mahogany that these doors were built from came from a space of extractive violence intimately connected to the doors’ indisputable beauty. | <urn:uuid:ec2d898a-a4ca-4b63-bd60-58f36cee92d4> | CC-MAIN-2022-21 | https://settlercolonialcityproject.org/Decolonizing-Mahogany | 2022-05-18T18:55:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-21/segments/1652662522309.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20220518183254-20220518213254-00227.warc.gz | en | 0.973346 | 314 |

It’s almost a perfect storm. The aftermath of the deadly earthquake in Japan, combined with a dramatic increase in oil prices fueled by the ongoing crisis in Libya and the reduction in domestic stockpiles is pushing up the price of new automobiles in a manner not seen in years.
Already Toyota, Ford and GM have announced price increases for their vehicles, with others set to follow suit. But an interesting trend is the price of small cars. Compared with a year ago, the average price for these vehicles has increased by some 4.2 percent, in the subcompact segment it’s even more – 6.3 percent – according to website TrueCar.com.
Although, given the global nature of the auto business today, companies across the world are facing disruptions, those that are most affected remain Japanese brands. So far, Nippon based companies have delayed the introduction of some 500,000 vehicles because of supply issues resulting from last month’s quake and one industry analyst predicts that amount will grow to some 3.6 million vehicles worldwide by August.
However, this current set of circumstances might provide an opportunity, particularly for Detroit car makers, who’ve been struggling in recent years. In particular, demand for such models as the Ford Fiesta and Chevrolet Cruze, both of which have been well received, could result in some buyers shifting their allegiance from Japanese brands, which have dominated the market for small cars for so long. The situation is likely to exacerbated by the fact that some models, particularly those imported from Japan such as the Toyota Prius, are currently in short supply, a scenario that isn’t likely to change anytime soon.
Nevertheless, although many automakers are rethinking their supply chains as a result of the issues in Japan, it’s unlikely there will be a major realignment in the way parts distribution and production are configured, at least in the short term.
However, given the current economic environment, the auto sector is becoming less of a buyer’s market by the day, particularly for small cars. As a result those consumers in the market for a new vehicle, are likely better off to take the plunge now, while there’s still good deals to be had, rather than sitting on the fence and waiting.

Ogmore Assembly Member and Welsh Government Minister Huw Irranca-Davies visited Maesteg Police Station to hear about the new ground-breaking intervention programme known as ‘ACEs’ (Adverse Childhood Experiences).
The pilot programme provides a public health approach to policing, looking at possibilities of early adverse childhood experiences resulting in harmful adult behaviours.
Ogmore MP Chris Elmore, Bridgend Cabinet Member for Social Services and Early Help and Barnardo’s were also in attendance and heard how this new focus of policing is having surprising results.
Speaking after the event the Ogmore AM stated: “Thanks to Chief Inspector Ross Crutcher and his team for a very interesting visit and for providing an insight of how the ACEs pilot is currently taking place in the region. Early identification of particularly vulnerable members of our society can hopefully see them receive early support and understanding to safe-guard their future health and well-being.” | <urn:uuid:ed15059f-633f-47ee-b9af-b9c8a066ad45> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | http://www.huwirranca-davies.org.uk/innovative-south-wales-policing-project-is-ace-says-assembly-member/ | 2019-05-25T21:03:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232258451.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20190525204936-20190525230936-00081.warc.gz | en | 0.95182 | 256 |

DCAS-supported sport climbing event sees two qualify for Tokyo Olympics
South Africa’s best male and female climber are headed to Tokyo in 2021 after qualifying for Olympic Games at a Western Cape Department of Cultural Affairs and Sport-supported event in Cape Town over the weekend.
Christopher Cosser and Erin Sterkenberg respectively claimed the male and female titles at the International Federation of Sport Climbing (IFSC) Continental Climbing Championship, which was held in Paarden Eiland from Thursday 17 to Sunday 20 December 2020.
The tournament saw 16 male and eight female climbers compete, and competition was tough. As the event was an Olympic qualifier, climbing routes were set by IFSC chief route-setter Yann Genoux and his team.
The Department of Cultural Affairs and Sport (DCAS) supported the event by providing funding, and was represented at the event by Sport Promotion Officer, Dyllon van der Rheede. “It is fantastic for DCAS to be part of an Olympic Qualifier as the department continues to support multiple sport codes across the Western Cape,” he said.
The Tokyo Olympic Games were originally scheduled to take place from 24 July to 9 August 2020, but were postponed as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic and will now be held from Friday 23 July to Sunday 8 August 2021.
DCAS congratulates Cosser and Sterkenberg on their victory and qualification, and wishes both well over the next few months as they continue their preparations for Tokyo. | <urn:uuid:2fd6e91c-280f-4ea1-965d-bbbc9730626a> | CC-MAIN-2021-04 | https://www.westerncape.gov.za/news/dcas-supported-sport-climbing-event-sees-two-qualify-tokyo-olympics | 2021-01-27T23:09:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-04/segments/1610704833804.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20210127214413-20210128004413-00012.warc.gz | en | 0.980252 | 309 |

Nasty Women Talk Back Launches!
Please join us for the launch of Nasty Women Talk Back at the Open Book Festival on 6 September from 20h00 -21h00 at the Fugard Theatre. Please note that booking is essential and can be done through the Open Book Festival.
Professor Thuli Madonsela will be in conversation with editors Joy Watson and Amanda Gouws and contributors Ashanti Kunene and Rebecca Davies, talking about the need for feminist activism in both the South African and global context.
About the Nasty Women Initiative
Nasty Women Talk Back! is a collection of feminist essays that tells stories of what it’s like to be a woman in today’s world. Each story uses a poster associated with the global women’s marches and uses it as a platform to tell a personal story. Beautifully told, they tell about ordinary women who have done extraordinary things.
The ‘Nasty Women’ collection of essays are personal reflections on the lived experiences of the writers. The 28 contributions in the collection are all told by nasty women who are making the personal political, who are seeking to live their lives in ways that resist and challenge patriarchy. These are stories that speak to the creation of a different kind of social order, one based on equity, the promotion of human rights and social justice.
Women across the world have been emboldened by the exposition of stories of sexual violence and harassment. The #metoo campaign has created a safe space for many women to come out and tell their stories of sexual violence in a world that treats women as objects of sexual desire. These stories have grabbed our collective attention. In the wake of the global women’s marches, spaces have opened up for talking about the everyday acts of sexism that women are subjected to on a daily basis.
The global women’s marches were a significant, historical moment in time. Women across the globe took to the streets, en masse, to challenge institutionalised patriarchy in anticipation of the fact that the Trump administration would work fast to institutionalise the values of white supremacy and misogyny. It was a moment of powerful, widespread social mobilisation. The book captures some of the backlash of this moment, by zoning in on an aspect of it, the posters associated with the marches. In so doing, we hope to stimulate ideas and discussion on what should follow on from this historic moment in time and how we can ignite a feminist flame, with a view to creating a more equal, just society.

Here we find ourselves once again, on the eve of women’s month. A month where various events are hosted by government to honour women and their role in society. Awards are handed out by an imminent South African in an Armani suit while speeches are made to praise our strength and ability to overcome.
Above all else, we commemorate the bravery of South African women who marched to the Union Buildings on August 9, 1956 to demand that Prime Minister JG Stiijdom abolish the use of passes for African women. Led by the Federation of South African Women (FEDSAW), a broad based women’s organisation, approximately 20 000 South African women marched against pass laws which treated African women as minors and second class citizens by policing and infringing their right to movement. Twenty four years after the dawn of democracy, has anything really changed?
The days of carrying passes are over, and according to the Bill of Rights, we, as South Africans are afforded the right to freedom of movement. However, this right has not been extended to South African women, as we continue to have our movements restricted due to fear. Fear of rape. Fear of assault. Fear of murder. All forms of gender based violence (GBV) ultimately deny South African women and girls the opportunity to achieve the equality and freedoms enshrined in the Constitution and affect their ability to reach their full potential in every sphere of social and productive life.
The women’s month celebrations are a patronising cover up of the daily atrocities South African women face. Without questioning how the system continues to reproduce the inequity faced by women or how systemic change in the discourses shaping government can be facilitated, it remains unclear how planned activities seek to disturb and dislodge patriarchal systems and challenge the status quo. Ultimately, women’s month is a celebration of women that achieves nothing at all.
Given the alarming rate of femicide and intimate partner violence (IPV), what is the point of women’s month? According to the World Bank, the rate of femicide in South Africa is 5 times the global average. The latest SAPS annual report (2016/2017) records that 93.2% of perpetrators who have been identified and arrested in relation to murdering women are male. In the same vein, a longitudinal study on intimate partner violence in South Africa found that in cases where perpetrators could be identified when women were murdered, more than half (57.1%) were committed by an intimate partner.
Yet, like clockwork every year, we celebrate women’s month. But we are no closer to justice for women. Our leaders say that empowering and improving the lives of South African women are regarded as a priority, but they offer only tepid condemnation of gender based violence. Indicative of this culture of indifference towards women, many of our leaders are perpetrators of gender based violence themselves who have not been held to account, because, you know – “you strike a woman, you strike a deal”.
It is within this lacklustre attitude towards gender based violence that the #Totalshutdown campaign finds its relevance. This campaign, spearheaded by gender activists is calling for a #Totalshutdown and Intersectional Women’s March against gender based violence on the 1 August, 2018. The campaign calls on all women, non-gender conforming people and the LGBTQIA+ community to stay away from work on the 1 August and join the protests around the country. It further discourages the attendance of men to the marches. Three of the major cities will be participating in marches on the day- those in Pretoria will be marching to the Union Buildings, the Cape Town participants will be marching to Parliament and in Bloemfontein the march will make its way to the Supreme Court of Appeals. In Kwazulu Natal three marches will be held in Newcastle, Pietermaritzburg and Durban.
The significance of this march is that it potentially represents one of the most significant moments in social mobilisation in South Africa since the inception of democracy. It has been fuelled with the same fervency of the 1956 women’s March. The campaign is set to hand over a memorandum to government, outlining changes that should be actioned by all branches of government, the judiciary and legislature. Against the backdrop of escalating GBV, women have grown tired and frustrated with having their grievances met with indifference and inaction and demand the attention of government and leaders by disturbing the economy for one day.
Mobilisation by the Federation of South African women culminated in the drafting of the Women’s Charter, which would later be incorporated into the Freedom Charter. The uncompromising character of this march seems to have been reignited in the #Totalshutdown march, where South African women are banding together to have their issues placed firmly on the agenda. The march is a form of claiming agency and citizenship.
As most movements are characterised by a wave of ebb and flow, arising around certain issues and dying down straight after, the #Totalshutdown leaders have ensured the livelihood of the movement beyond the march. After the 1 August 2018, the steering committee has committed to continue to work and eventually register the organisation as a non-profit organisation.
If in the event you are interested in joining the march, for more information contact the #Totalshutdown march via email at firstname.lastname@example.org or on Twitter @WomenProtestSA. Alternatively, you can also join the closed facebook group called Totalshutdown.

The crudest of instruments of silencing included the use […]
Book Review by Joy Watson
Sisonke Msimang’s book “Always Another Country” is a memoir, a striking narrative of growing up in exile. The book is a poignant reflection on how we construct identity in different temporal and societal spaces. At a young age, Msimang’s father went underground as an ANC cadre and became part of a group of recruits who were to join the military wing of the ANC. He was sent into exile, under strict instructions to tell no-one, not even his family, where he was going. ‘Always Another Country’ chronicles Msimang’s childhood in exile in Zambia, Kenya and Canada, her college education in the USA and her eventual relocation back to South Africa. Set in these terrains, the landscape of the book is both haunting and beautiful. Msimang’s vivid, colourful descriptions transport us on a magic carpet ride right to the epicentre of the places she’s lived and experienced. We are lulled into the beauty of ordinary, everyday things, such as the joy of lunches with steaming plates of nsima with greens and tomato relish and playing imaginary games of Olympics. Through her childhood eyes, we catch glimpses into the lived realities of her different social contexts. With razor-sharp insight, she gives us a snapshot into the underlying cultural and social dynamics at play in the different spaces she finds herself.
In some ways, “Always Another Country’ is about a series of awakenings. One such awakening relates to how, as children, we encounter the world in particular ways, one where we hold the promise of all that is good; and the gradual awakening into the realisation that the world can be cruel place, one that seeks to diminish our sense of self. Msimang pulls the reader into a turbulent emotional vortex. We are transported into the pain associated with moments of awakening, such as when she encounters the ugly slap across the face of blatant racism, when misogyny rears its twisted head and she is sexually violated and, when she has to stare in the face the stark reality that the South African dream of a liberated future has not brought about social justice.
Msimang describes what it is like to grow up as a ‘born free’ and how as a child she had ‘every reason to believe that she was the centre of the universe.’ Moulded by parents who taught her to be confident and secure in her sense of self, they conveyed an ‘unmistakeable air of self-assurance’ and behaved ‘as if though the ground beneath their feet was theirs and the sun in the sky had risen purely for their benefit.’ Against this backdrop, Msimang’s childhood is a relatively stable, happy one, notwithstanding not having a real sense of home and not being anchored in any one place. With adept, skilful command, we become spectators to the pain associated with her moments of awakening, when her sense of security and assurance is tested, when she loses loved ones and when she is forced to rethink what it means to be a patriotic South African, committed to social transformation.
An integral part of ‘Always Another Country’ is Msimang’s eventual home-coming, her return to South Africa. With visceral honesty, she recounts the joy of coming back to craft a life for herself her. This narrative is underpinned by the complexity of being ‘othered,’ in not having grown up in South Africa. The book is a sharp reminder of how language, culture and the lack of shared history can be a barrier that has to be transcended in trying to fit in and find our ‘tribe.’ Msimang negotiates her way through the complexity of issues pertaining to identity and belonging with prowess.
The book has a number of strengths. The story is riveting and keeps you wanting to dip back in for more. The use of language is a formidable force to be reckoned with – sentences are skilfully, beautifully constructed and I often found myself going back to be lost in pull of the words. Pivotal to the book are issues of power, privilege and the notion of social justice. Msimang sets in motion a process for thinking deeply about how our societies are constructed and how power is used as a mechanism for entrenching inequity. I found Msimang’s use of reflexivity as a writing tool particularly refreshing. Her commentary on power and privilege is underscored by her ability to put her own power and privilege under an analytic microscope. In this way, Msimang uses her writing as an agency for social transformation; the book is inherently activist, calling us to reflect on important political and social issues. It is testimony to her journey as a writer, activist and feminist. It should be prescribed reading for all South Africans.

We are excited to offer you another great guide to online gambling articles. Here we give you 13 conditions to play online slot machines. As you probably know, there is no secret strategy to win a slot machine or control the outcome of this game. Since the slot machine is designed with a fixed number of turns, all you can do is pray for you to be lucky to have a roll.
Contrary to what many people think, it is better to bet higher than to use their little bet. Although we recommend placing your bets more frequently, you should always consider the possibility of winning an online slot machine.
Note that progressive jackpots increase as more and more players play slots. In this type of slot machine, you need a certain number of bets (usually a bet higher than normal) to qualify for a progressive jackpot. However, there are other video slots that do not require players to place big stakes in the game. Some games allow players to win progressive jackpots using the minimum bets in the game. We advise you to place the bet you need to have a chance to win a progressive jackpot when you play online slots.
Since slots games have all kinds of jackpots, bonuses, tricks, etc., you only need to find the slot machine game you can play. Choose the game you like the most and feel comfortable. In this way, you can find out which slot machine game you have won the most.
Playing online slots can be particularly addictive if you keep winning. But sometimes this frustration suddenly stops and players tend to make more money in the hope of winning the match. What we are trying to say here is to advise you to avoid betting more on earnings. There are rules that stipulate that a player’s budget to make a maximum of 250 bets will keep you in the game for three hours. In this way, you can effectively limit your budget when you bet without debt.
When online casinos use the phrase “prime the bomb”, it only means that they always start small bets and continue playing in their own way after winning the slot game. An experiment was conducted which showed an increase in betting patterns that allowed him to win once and lose four times in a match. In general, the winning online slot pattern is 4: 1.
Even though this is a common mistake, because all slot games have a uniform percentage of refunds, playing slot games in the last line will let people see you playing and can make your session a little more interesting because now he has an audience.
To get big wins in online slot games, the most important thing you have to do is find a slot that pays big players.
The closest failure is a situation where only one symbol is lost to make a winning combination in the game. Finding online slot games with flaws will hardly guarantee you a big win, but it will add some mystery to your game.
We have discussed what to do when you play slots online, what we provide below is what you cannot do when playing with slot machines
During the slot machine, some scammers use a string around the coins and put it in the machine to be able to issue coins when the device receives it. The good thing about slot manufacturers is that they develop more sophisticated coin receivers to ensure this strategy does not work.
Fake slugs or coins were used in the past to save money when playing slots. This snail is just a round metal piece with stamps to imitate a coin. However, this method cannot be used today because there is sophisticated coin recognition software for slot machines.
Cheat slots use magnets in the 1960s and 1970s to allow the reels to spin to land with winning combinations. On another occasion, a metal bar known as a top-down device was used to lock the coin slot in the machine, making this slot free during the process.
During the notorious “Big Bertha” (slots larger than usual), several people were arrested after trying to steal the machine. One woman in the group comes in and changes the engine, while another locks the machine so that no one can see it. However, security immediately stopped them and arrested the group later.
An engineer tries to cheat with a slot machine by placing a number of coins that allows him to accept payments without playing many times. This software engineer was captured using deceptive code.
In slot games, it’s worth noting that it’s better to play without cheating to win. With a great attitude when playing online slots, you can enjoy the game and earn money at the same time.

Sebastiano Peluso’s parents had last written to George Edwin Farrar’s mother on June 27, but they felt compelled to write again two weeks later. They assumed her son, the only known survivor from the Lead Banana on September 28 the year before, had returned home from the war. Farrar had still not returned to the United States. The Pelusos were still anxiously waiting for any word about their boy.
July 11, 1945
Dear Mrs. Farrar,
I am the father of Sebastiano and I have no word to express my gratitude for the kind of sympathy and cooperation you have show regard my son. Only a mother could understand and consider the sorrow we have, and really I want to thank you for what you are doing for us.
First of all I want to congratulate you for George coming home, and I wish happiness and success to a courageous boy, which deserves respect and honor from his nation.
Now I wish only one favor from you. First, let George rest and relax, and when he feels better the only think I ask to him if could give me any news of his friend Sebastiano. What happen after the plane was hit. If he saw my son coming down with the parachute?
He could write me a letter and if he have something important to tell me I could come myself and speak him personally. Although the trip is long. If I hear good news from my boy, I am sure I will not feel the trip. Maybe we could call George on the telephone and he gives details of what he knows.
So if George decide to speak with us just let us the day is home and we call him. The best hour for us to call is from 8 to 10 p.m. Again I thank you in advance and hoping to hear from George. Regard and happiness to a wonderful mother.
2963 W. 24 St.

I would not trust the Jobo flasks for storing chemistry as they are of the soft kind of plastic that is likely to be oxygen-permeable. PETE or glass bottles, either squeezed to get the liquid to the cap or butane displacing the air, should give you better longevity. I plan to store my 1L of developer working solution in the fridge (to reduce oxidation rate).
I believe the Rollei kit is just Fuji chemistry (I read it on APUG, it must be true!). I recently bought the Fuji 5L kit and it says you get 16 rolls per litre of chemistry; people here report that it works well long after that point. You need to increase the development time after every 20% of the capacity of the working volume you're using, and the increases are very small: 3:15, 3:18, 3:23, 3:29, 3:40 (that last one might be wrong). You can find the Fuji instructions scanned and posted in another thread around here somewhere. The times published assume that the exhaustion occurring in one batch is small compared to the total capacity of the chemicals, i.e. that you're using much more chemistry than the "one shot" minimal amount. The Fuji instructions suggest doing 5 batches of 16 films in 5L of chemistry, which means that you want at least 300mL of chemistry per roll otherwise the reduction in activity within one process will mean you want a longer processing time than indicated in the table.
Say for example, you mix up 625mL of chemistry (enough for 10 rolls at the rated capacity) and process two rolls at a time with all of chemistry. Your processing times for the 5 pairs of rolls should (nominally) be 3:15, 3:18, 3:23, 3:29, 3:40. Alternatively, you could do one roll at a time; you would put in about 350mL of chemistry, do the process at the time for that roll-number, then mix the recovered chemistry back with the other 275mL. This is because the chemistry doesn't care whether you're running a 16 roll batch in 5L or a 2 roll batch in 625mL - it's the same amount of chemistry per film.
Or you could replenish; I haven't done it with colour but I believe it works like this:
- make up a batch of chems (working stock), at least 300mL * concurrent rolls (e.g. you want to soup 6 rolls at once, make up 1.8L of chems)
- make up some more chems (replenishment stock)
- run a batch of rolls in the working stock for 3:15 (probably)
- throw out 62.5mL of working stock per roll processed and replace it with the same quantity from the replenishment stock
That 62.5mL is 5000mL/80, i.e. the replenishment rate that will get you the same capacity as reuse. Arguably you could push (reduce the replenishment rate) this further and more safely than you could push non-replenished re-uses. | <urn:uuid:73a3a9a9-b74b-42f5-a834-78a433306c35> | CC-MAIN-2015-18 | http://www.apug.org/forums/viewpost.php?p=1200835 | 2015-04-28T14:53:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-18/segments/1429246661675.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20150417045741-00146-ip-10-235-10-82.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.948391 | 643 |

Why is Medicare So Expensive? Episode II
A Growing, Aging Population
By Abdul El-Sayed
Accounting for 12 percent of the federal budget, and costing $509 Billion in total expenditures in 2010, Medicare is a massive expense. In part one of this series, we set out four trends that are key to understanding the rising cost of Medicare.
The undeniably important trend we’ll discuss here is actually a twofer, including both the massive growth of the elderly population between 1965 and present day, as well the vast expanse in life expectancy in the intervening period.
In 1966, the year after Medicare was passed, there were an estimated 19 million beneficiaries. Today, that number looks more like 48 million. In fact, given the aging of the baby boomer generation in the coming decades, the number of Medicare beneficiaries, barring any changes to eligibility, is projected to jump to 81 million by 2030.
The past 45 years have also seen the life expectancy of the average American increase from about 70 years in 1965 to about 78 years today. In other words, the average American today can expect to live about eight years longer than his or her grandparents.
Now, when it was in initially passed in 1965, it was only expected that Medicare would insure the average beneficiary for about 15 years, as that was the average life expectancy for someone who had already lived 65 years. And there were only 19 million beneficiaries.
This sets up some pretty simple math, which we can use to compare the number of people over the number of years the policy was initially intended to cover them in 1965 as compared to today. If the average beneficiary was covered for 15 years, and there were 19 million beneficiaries, then Medicare was on the hook for about 285 million person-years of overall coverage in 1966.
Let’s compare that to today’s scenario. There are 48 million beneficiaries who are covered for an average of 19 years (average life expectancy for adults aged 65 years in 2009), meaning that Medicare is now responsible for about 912 million person-years of coverage, more than three times as much coverage as when Medicare was first passed in the mid-1960s.
So, assuming no changes in the cost of healthcare, demographic changes in the American population alone would account for a three-fold increase in the cost of Medicare.
But there’s another wrinkle to this story. Baby boomers didn’t have nearly as many children as their parents did and the fertility rate continues to fall. Therefore, not only are there more elderly to care for today, but because of the shrinking number of working Americans per beneficiary as a result of lagging fertility, the number of workers paying into the pot per beneficiary is well below what it was in 1965 when Medicare was first passed. In 1965, for example, the ratio of American workers paying taxes to the number of Medicare beneficiaries was about 4.6 to every one. That’s fallen to about 3.4 in 2010, and is projected to fall as low as 2.3 by 2030.
While it’s impossible to decrease the growth in the number of elderly, it is possible to decrease the number eligible for Medicare benefits. In that regard, assuming the program was only intended to support the elderly through the last 15 years of their lives, on average, it might seem justifiable to increase the Medicare eligible age to 69 years, for example, instead of 65. To support that argument, pundits and policymakers point to data that suggest that today’s elderly are substantially wealthier than they were in the past.
In all, this seems like a fair policy at face value. But on closer inspection, the underlying logic is just a tad flawed. It’s clear that along with Social Security, Medicare is an important reason why the American elderly, on average, do not suffer the poverty and social marginalization they did in the past. But that was the point of the policy in the first place, right? It’s like a doctor who’s recently prescribed a new blood pressure pill that has successfully lowered his patient’s blood pressure arguing that because her pressure is now low, she should no longer use the pill.
To be sure, something does need to be done—but there are more effective and efficient ways of addressing the cost albatross. More in the next installment.

My attraction to simple living arose in the wake of my brother’s death, nearly two decades ago.
As I plunged into my grief, my worldview rearranged itself.
I woke up to a cliché-like questioning of what was really important in this life, given my newfound realization that we could leave it without warning. Was this “American Dream”—working our tails off in jobs that are simply jobs so we can own nice things—just a construct?
I thought about the happiest home I’d ever encountered: a tiny, one-room cabin that I’d housesat.
There, I’d been surrounded by curving pine trees and a glimpse of the glittering sea through the windows, instead of my usual habitat of clothes, books, and strewn scraps of paper. Despite the inconvenience of trotting out to the outhouse to go to the bathroom, or hand-washing dishes instead of shoving them into the dishwasher, I felt creative, uncluttered, and inspired.
I dreamt of having a home that was simple enough to allow me to fully live the way I wanted to—leisurely, connected, free.
But over the years, I dozed off again. I wanted more—kids, and then a bigger car to fit the kids, and then a bigger home to fit the kids and the bigger car. I justified these choices at the time with the fact that many of our friends with kids were on the same track of upsizing their lives.
Choosing simplicity has been, at least for me, not something to do once and be done with. Rather, it’s a constant choice, and one that needs daily devotion in a hectic world that tells us we need to do more, buy more, and be more, that we must stuff our days and our homes to the gills in order to keep up.
And it’s something that often requires a steady stream of inspiration and support.
Here are five ways to stay inspired on your journey of simplifying:
1. Watch this movie on Netflix.
If you don’t have Netflix, yay! You’re already living simply. You can catch it here, instead. I’ve watched this inspiring documentary twice since it was released last month on Netflix, and I’ll probably watch it again soon. The movie, which centers around the story of two young men who radically changed their lives after spending their early 20s climbing the corporate and consumer ladder, is sprinkled with insightful, inspirational commentary from other minimalists and simple living enthusiasts, neuroscientists, architects, a journalist, and more.
2. Partner up.
Chances are, someone in your circle of friends, family or acquaintances is interested in simplifying, too. Get together. Talk about why you want your life to be different. Make a plan to support and be accountable to each other. If you can’t find someone in your group of friends, find an online group for inspiration and accountability.
3. Tune out.
One way to combat our cultural conditioning to mindlessly consume is to experiment with unplugging. I recently committed to not look at my phone first thing in the morning. Instead of instantly allowing the noise of social media and emails into my day—often before my feet even hit the floor in the morning—I set those tasks aside for later. I also removed Facebook from my phone. In taking these two simple steps, I start my day on my own terms, without the barrage of messaging from the rest of the world.
4. Tune in.
When you do use social media or technology, do so mindfully. Consider listening to podcasts that support simple living. I’ve been listening to these lately while I’m driving, doing housework, or decluttering. Besides being motivating, this type of media consumption helps counteract decades of societal programming. It reminds me that there are many lovely people out in the world who are, like me, committed to leading intentional, meaningful lives that are based on relationships, passion and experience instead of the overscheduled, materialistic way of living that most advertising promotes. Two of my favorites are The Minimalists and Slow Your Home.
5. Remember your why.
Why are you craving a more simple life? To improve your physical or mental health? Because you’ll have more time and money if you cut out the excess? Because it’s better for our planet? Because it might enable you to pursue your dream of writing or traveling or spending more time with your family? Reminding ourselves why we’re pursuing a different way of life will help us deal with the temptation of our old ways of consumerism or overscheduling.
I don’t know if I’ll ever reach a level of simplicity worthy of the cabin I loved—but I do know that by keeping my goal to simplify in mind, I can start walking in that direction.

Expressionism art is one of those genres that I don’t know a whole lot about.
In my defence, Wikipedia says it’s notoriously hard to define. Hopefully that’s got me out of some trouble. My understanding of expressionist art though, is that it typically presents the world from a subjective point of view. It’s tendency is to distort reality to evoke ideas and emotions in the viewer.
Again, I’m not an expert, but it seems to me, “The Scream” by Edvard Munch fits the description pretty well. I can think of several occasions where I could have perhaps made a painting similar to that, and thereby entered the world of expressionism art.
This movement originated in Germany before World War I, although there were several artists prior to that time whose works could conceivably fit into that. Typically expressionism art is “attached” to 20th Century artworks.
It seems easy to slip into the idea that expressionism is dark and angst-ridden. However, there doesn’t seem to be any evidence to suggest that that’s how it should be. Joy, excitement and love are all powerful feelings worthy of expressing on your canvas.
Tips to create your own expressionist piece:
If you have teenage children & you want to paint angst, this will be very easy ;)
TIP: Distorting perspective can alter peoples' emotional responses to a painting.

Why Wine Causes Headaches and How to Avoid Them
If you avoid wine—specifically red wine—because you know it’ll make your head hurt something serious not too long after the first glass, the reason may be simpler than you think, and the solution may already be in your medicine cabinet, if not at your corner convenience store. Here’s the nature of the problem, and how to fix it.
Put simply, you may just be allergic to some of the compounds often found in wine. We’re not talking about a hangover, so if you drink to the point of drunkeness and wake up with a pounding skull, that’s not allergies. If you only drink a glass and come down with a headache, the problem is likely with one of two compounds: sulfites or amines.

Last week I released Twenty Seven Pro, a minimalist theme for lifestyle and food bloggers. I’m please with how well it has been received so far.
Learn how to build and customize websites with the Genesis Framework.
A few weeks ago I updated the design here on my website. My primary motivation at the moment is to share my personal experiences, so I wanted my visitors to only be shown posts from my Journal, but still wanted to be able to publish other content.
If you scroll to the bottom of this page, you’ll see I built a custom footer that includes a row of social media icons. These links go out to my social media profiles, in the hopes people will follow me and help build my personal brand.
Our words can be powerful, but like most things in life they can be destructive if used irresponsibly. Many blogs have an open door policy when it comes to comments on their posts, but it seems as though times are changing.

The coldest air of the season is here! Highs will struggle to get out of the teens today. Wind chills will be in the single digits. Skies will be sunny. Winds will be strong from the north at 10 to 20 mph, gusting up to 25 mph. The winds will be lighter by the overnight as the center of low pressure is situated right over Iowa. But the clear conditions that high pressure brings will allow temperatures to drop to the single digits.
There will be a slight warm up on Sunday and Monday where temperatures will rise back to the 20s and then the 30s by Monday afternoon. The week stays cold in the 20s and 30s with dry and sunny conditions. Thanksgiving travel looks to be excellent. | <urn:uuid:35104480-7997-42e3-8ed0-5959ac0961cd> | CC-MAIN-2016-50 | http://whotv.com/2013/11/23/bitter-cold-weekend-dry-thanksgiving/ | 2016-12-06T02:59:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-50/segments/1480698541876.62/warc/CC-MAIN-20161202170901-00063-ip-10-31-129-80.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.926966 | 149 |

I am a furniture hoarder… okay i admit it.
If i had the room in my house or garage or had a bigger vehicle to lug around pieces you would probably end up seeing me on an episode of hoarders buried alive. Since i have 2 kids and a small car i find unique ways to bring special treasures home. I found this cute little sofa table online and purchased it for 40$ i seen it and knew exactly what i wanted to do with it. you know that feeling when you look at a project and imagine it in its full glory… that’s how i felt about this. This table was my very first SPiT project, a lot of people either love Unicorn SPiT or hate it. I Love it although not every piece done in US is to my taste but that’s the great thing about art its is subjective, eye of the beholder kind of thing, which leads me to this sofa table. I love jewel tones i’m a sucker for them and that’s just what i had in store for this one!
I started this table by sanding it down to its bare wood as it had tons and tons of varnish. (i hate sanding by the way its probably the most tedious task like ever!)

Before I get on with the subject of today's post, I wanted to go ahead and drop one small note about another project I'm working on: The Cave Dwellers Podcast. The Cave Dwellers has the potential to morph into something more as the year wears on, but for now it's simply a place for my daily narrations of my attempt to read through the complete works of Plato (spurious dialogues included) in a year. Since we're only 3 days into the read (it's only weekdays; you get weekends off) it's not too late to join me. By "narration," I mean a simple-yet-effective technique used in Classical Education/Charlotte Mason Education circles of telling back information in my own words in order to synthesize it. Anyway, I'll be doing that for the rest of the year, in case you want to follow along.
Now, about those dragons.
Monday (January 6) is the Feast of Theophany in the Eastern Rite (usually known as Epiphany in the West, where the focus of the feast is slightly different). This is one of the ancient Church's great feasts of light, along with The Nativity (Christmas) and the Presentation of the Lord (Candlemas, aka Groundhog Day). After Easter, it's the most ancient of the Great Feasts, with the practice of keeping vigil all night before the feast day dating back at least to 140 AD. Alas, it's little known or celebrated in modern times outside of Orthodox and Catholic circles.
The Byzantine hymnography and iconography for this feast yields some rich examples of the traditional understanding of the feast in reference to ancient paganism, Old Testament typology, and the use of paradox which seems to be a defining note of Eastern Rite hymnography.
|Fresco of the Theophany, St Seraphim Orthodox Cathedral, Dallas TX|
Consider this Doxastichon (a special kind of hymn sung between the "Glory to the Father... Both now and ever..." following the chanting of Psalm 129 (LXX) during Vespers) of the Forefeast of Theophany:
Make ready, O river Jordan: for behold, Christ our God draws near to be baptized by John, that He may crush with His divinity the invisible heads of the dragons in thy waters. Rejoice, O wilderness of Jordan; dance with gladness, O ye mountains. For the eternal Life hath come to call back Adam. O voice that criest in the wilderness, O John the Forerunner, cry out: 'Prepare ye the ways of the Lord, make his paths straight.'The reference here to "dragons in thy waters" might seem curious to modern ears, and downright puzzling to anyone who goes to any of the four Gospel accounts of Christ's baptism looking for any dragons in the story. This is not a scriptural reference, but rather a memory the Church's tradition preserved, through her hymns and iconography, until its source was recently discovered by modern archaeologists. As Fr. Stephen De Young points out in an article published this time last year, this reference to dragons or monsters in the water (present in almost all of the icons of the feast as well) refers to the ancient Semitic sea and river gods Yam and Nahar, whose subjugation to YHWH is an important part of both the Exodus narrative, but also to much of the later Hebrew prophetic works (see Isaiah 27). The Hebrew scriptures presented a direct challenge to the sacred stories of rival religions in the Levant (such as the Baal Epic), and for centuries before the modern rediscovery of Ugarit and the Baal Cycle, that challenge continues to inform the liturgical hymns and iconography of this feast.
|Icon of the Theophany|
And then there's this wonderful bit of juxtaposition from yet another Doxastichon, this one coming at the end of Psalm 92 (LXX) during Vespers:
Let the desert of Jordan rejoice exceedingly and blossom as the lily. For the voice of one who crieth hath been heard within it: 'Prepare ye the way of the Lord.' For he who weighed the mountains in scales and the wooded valleys in a balance, who fillest all things as God, is baptized by a servant. he who bestoweth rich gifts hath now become poor. Eve was once told, 'In sorrow shalt thou bring forth children,' but now the Virgin hears: 'Hail, thou who art full of grace, the Lord who hath great mercy is with thee.'Look at the contrasts here: A desert blooms; the one who weighed the mountains is baptized by a servant; the one who gives gifts is now poor; Eve's sorrow replaced by Mary's joy. This last contrast hints at one of the most important ideas of Theophany, its origins found as early as the writings of St Paul in the New Testament (see Galatians 3:27 and traditional understandings thereof): Christ's baptism is, in some sense, a re-creation of humanity (or at least enables the re-creation of human persons through their baptism). This is developed beautifully in the Troparion and Kontakion of the forefeast:
Prepare, O Zebulon, and adorn yourself, O Naphtali; River Jordan, cease flowing and receive with joy the Master coming to be baptized. Adam, rejoice with our First Mother and do not hide yourself as you did of old in Paradise; for having seen you naked, He has appeared to clothe you with the first garment. Christ has appeared to renew all creation.
Today the Lord enters the Jordan and cries out to John: “Do not be afraid to baptize me. For I have come to save Adam, the first-formed man.”The "first garment" seems to be a reference to a very ancient tradition found in Rabbinical sources, as well as the Syriac Peshitta, of "garments of light" (perhaps a way of describing the unmarred imago dei in which they were made) in which Adam and Eve had been clothed before the fall. Fourth century Church father and poet St. Ephraim the Syrian vividly imagines Christ as having left the "garment of light" for us in the water during his baptism; by being baptized ourselves, we follow him down into the water and put on the garment of light (one might say, of righteousness) which he has left for us.
Finally, consider this imagined dialogue between Christ and the Baptist, sung at Matins on the eve of the feast:
Christ: Why dost thou doubt, O Baptist, concerning the dispensation that I fulfill for the salvation of all? Set now aside the old and think of the new. Believe in God who has come down to earth, and drawing near, obey me. For I have come as God, to cleanse in my compassion fallen Adam.
John: Taking our sins upon thy shoulders, thou art come, O Jesus, to the streams of Jordan: and I am afraid at thy dread coming. How, then, dost thou bid me baptize thee? Thou thyself hast come to cleanse me, and how dost thou, the Cleanser of all, seek baptism of me?
Christ: My nature is beyond understanding: but clothed in the form of a servant have I come forth to Jordan. Doubt not at all concerning me. Come, fear not, draw near me. Place thy right hand upon my head and cry aloud, 'Blessed art thou, our God made manifest: glory to thee.'
John: Beyond all thought and without measure is thy poverty, O Word of God! I know that, for my sake who am fallen, thou has from pity clothed thyself in Adam, and all the posterity of Adam thou makest new again. Obeying thy command I cry to thee in faith, blessed art thou, our god made manifest: glory to thee!All of the hymns of this wonderful, ancient feast, encourage us to dance with the mystery rather than define it. In the Gospels, Christ rather cryptically tells the Baptist that He must be baptized in order to "fulfill all righteousness" (Matthew 3:15). These ancient hymns, which document the Church's lived-out experience of Theophany, help us examine these mysterious words from a variety of perspectives largely lost to modern interpreters of Scripture. | <urn:uuid:b6319d30-0ef0-48af-ac5c-d0c693affede> | CC-MAIN-2020-24 | http://blogonthebarrowdowns.blogspot.com/ | 2020-06-02T08:37:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-24/segments/1590347423915.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20200602064854-20200602094854-00501.warc.gz | en | 0.954619 | 1,755 |

A California firearm store just released a new and innovative product for its customers: America’s first “smart” gun. Unlike other guns on store shelves, the Armatix iP1 comes with an accessorized water-proof watch. When this watch is within close enough range of the gun, a green light appears on the gun’s handle, effectively enabling its operator to use the gun as he or she pleases. Once the gun loses contact with the watch, however, the gun automatically deactivates and is rendered useless.
Advocates of the new smart gun posit the device is akin to cars’ airbags and that gun owners will thus demand these features in hopes of reducing the casualty rate of gun violence. Critics, though, are skeptical of the device’s utility and fear what will happen if the device fails when a homeowner encounters an intruder in his or her home.
Regardless of the debate surrounding the utility of such devices as the Armatix iP1, there is no doubt that smart guns could have a significant impact on society. James Mitchell, a pro-gun enthusiast and owner of a gun club outside of Los Angeles, imagines that these technologies “could revolutionize the gun industry.”
Legislators around the country have taken note of the potential value these smart guns could provide their constituents. Back in 2000, the right-leaning New Jersey State Senate passed the Childproof Handgun Bill, which mandates that all handguns sold in the state be childproof (within three years of the Attorney General of New Jersey concluding that such childproof guns are available and can be purchased on the open market). Last year in California, a similar bill made its way through the State Senate. And even at the federal level, Congressman John Tierney (D. Mass.) has introduced such a bill.
Only time will tell whether other legislatures around the country will mandate that all handguns sold must contain smart-like capabilities of some sort. Should they enact such legislation, though, I wonder whether the Second Amendment will soon be interpreted as only protecting a citizen’s right to bear “smart” arms.

Crews from the Santa Barbara County Fire Department took no chances and used significant resources against a brush fire that broke out on the Harris Grade near Lompoc on Wednesday evening. The fast response limited the fire to less than 20 acres burned. As of midday Thursday, it was 90% contained, with full containment expected by 3:00 p.m.
The suspected cause of the fire was something that spewed from a catalytic converter in a passing vehicle.
The significant resources used included two water tenders, three bulldozers, four crews of people fighting the fire, along with eight air tankers dropping retardant from above. Images and video from the operation were shown live on KCOY 12 and KEYT 3 evening newscasts at 5:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m.
The fire was described as moving at a "moderate" pace, burning through pine trees. Wind at the time of the fire was low, which helped slow the spread of the flames.
Fire crews remained on scene overnight to mop up and fully contain the blaze. | <urn:uuid:2291b5d7-c2ee-4b9f-8e4a-634d02af461e> | CC-MAIN-2016-30 | http://www.keyt.com/news/brush-fire-breaks-out-on-lompoc-side-of-harris-grade-road/27763792 | 2016-07-28T16:28:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-30/segments/1469257828286.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20160723071028-00136-ip-10-185-27-174.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.973703 | 221 |

Deploying applications in hybrid cloud environments is hard work. Your team spends most of the time maintaining your infrastructure, configuring dev/test and production environments, and deploying applications across environments – which can be both time consuming and error prone. But what if you could automate provisioning and deployment to deliver error free environments faster? What could you do with your free time?

Chattanooga, Tenn. (PRWEB) November 14, 2013
Davron Technologies, Inc. designed, manufactured, and installed a hyper-efficient gas-fired continuous conveyor oven to cure rolls of cross-linked thermoplastics for a foam rubber manufacturer. Equipped with modulating natural gas burners and circulation fans that use Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs), the DTI-1098 system can be programmed to run within a wide range of settings while only using the amount of gas needed to reach and maintain the designated oven temperatures in the interior chamber, which is 6’6” wide x 59’0” long x 5’0” high.
With a maximum operating temperature of 500° F, the DTI-1098 continuous conveyor oven’s chamber features seven temperature control zones. A series of blank-offs and dampers within the chamber regulate the temperatures in each of the oven’s distinct zones.
The conveying system, a stainless steel wire mesh belt, also runs on VFDs so that the speed at which the foam rubber proceeds through the oven chamber can be adjusted. Six circulation fans circulate air within the chamber in a combination airflow pattern, impinging heated air on products moving through the system from both above and below. After products exit the heated chamber, they pass through a series of stainless steel water-chilled cooling rolls.
The oven’s structural steel frame rests on the inside of the oven’s exterior walls, which are made of 16-gauge carbon steel finished with high-temperature paint. The interior of the oven is constructed with 16-gauge aluminized steel backed by six inches of eight-pound-density mineral wool insulation.
The DTI-1098 continuous conveyor oven also comes equipped with a burner and belt system that cleans away thermoplastic residue from the conveyor during operation. A Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) with a 10-inch color touch screen controls the entire system, including heat, fan speed, conveyor speed, and cooling roll settings so that the oven can be adapted to treat a range of thermoplastic polymers.
Davron designed the DTI-1098 continuous conveyor oven from client temperature and airflow specifications, fabricated all components in house, programmed all systems and the PLC, and installed the oven at the customer’s facility.

I finished piecing the top of the quilt that I've been working on. I had quite a bit of fabric left over, so I took a couple of days to mull over whether to try to use them in a whole new project or to sew them into the backing of the quilt. I love these fabrics and thought that they would make a really nice star quilt from one of the Atkinson patterns, but then I realized that was just a make-work project. I need to sew what I really really want to sew, rather than just whatever comes into my head. (*Just because it 'can' be done doesn't mean that it 'has' to be done).
Therefore I decided that they would be sewn into the backing of the quilt.
Then, I needed to decide on how to sew them together. For the same reason as above.*, I discarded ideas that seemed to require a lot of planning and sewing. I finally decided on a variation of this design idea:
press here to go to the free pattern download at the Moda Bake Shop
I've also seen one or two other versions of this idea, and i really like the look of the quilts.
I decided to use this stacked fabric idea on a large scale.
The pieces for the quilt had all been cut as strips across the width of the fabric, so the leftovers were all quite neat, and I didn't need to cut them any furthur.
I just laid the strips out on the floor as I sewed, so that I could stop when the backing was about the right length.
That's where I am now. I need to sew the horizontal strips together now.
Like I said earlier, I really like the look of these stacked rectangles! It reminds me of a stack of books you might see on a coffee table, not too neatly lined up, which is a common sight around my house!

Defence correspondent, BBC News
During the invasion of Iraq in 2003, 46,000 British personnel were engaged in the operation.
That number is now down to 4,100 and could decrease even further next year, according to the prime minister.
Gordon Brown's words "a fundamental change of mission" mean a dramatic scaling down of Britain's troops in southern Iraq from early next year.
It may not be a complete withdrawal, but more than five years since the invasion, it is at last looking possible that British troops could leave Basra - and leave behind them a functioning place.For the full story click here for the BBC News website | <urn:uuid:c64f0754-0d35-4c3d-b3c9-dd2a3168551f> | CC-MAIN-2017-17 | http://basrablog.blogspot.com/2008/10/troop-draw-down-crucial-for-army.html | 2017-04-26T00:25:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-17/segments/1492917121000.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20170423031201-00230-ip-10-145-167-34.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.942282 | 134 |
AKAI MPK25 KeybContr +MPC Pads
MPK 25 - Akai MPK25 USB-Midi Controller Keyboard, 25 Keys, 2 Wheels, 12 Knobs, 12 MPC Pads, Transport Controls, LCD Screen,
Portable performance and production.
The Akai Professional MPK25 is a portable keyboard controller with MPC production controls. Based closely on the MPK49, the first keyboard ever to feature MPC pads, the MPK25 scales down the keyboard by 24 keys and retains the utility, capability, and flexibility that makes the MPK49 one of the world's hottest keyboards. Its smaller, more portable size makes the MPK25 the perfect travel companion. Its small footprint can fit in your lap on the couch or on a plane, enabling you to create tracks whenever inspiration strikes. All you need is your laptop and the MPK25.
MPK25 combines a 25-key keyboard and 12 genuine MPC pads. The keyboard is semi-weighted and features aftertouch for expressive melodic control. The MPC pads are pressure and velocity-sensitive to capture every nuance of your creative concepts. The pads can access four banks of sounds, so you have 48 samples at your fingertips with the touch of a button.
MPK25 places dedicated transport controls within your reach for easy control of some of the most important tracking and editing controls. The MPK25 has modulation and pitch-bend wheels for expressive musicality, and two assignable footswitch inputs enable you to connect an expression pedal or other continuous controller and a footswitch for momentary controls like patch change or start/stop.
One of the most important input devices on an MPC is its Q-Link assignable control section. The MPK25 gives you twelve virtual knobs and four virtual buttons that are assignable to control nearly any software parameter. You can control two different parameters per Q-Link thanks to the knobs' dual-bank selection.
Two technologies pioneered in the MPC series and built into the MPK series are MPC Note Repeat and MPC Swing. These note-modifying features can be heard in many of the most popular tracks over the last two decades. MPC Note Repeat is a capability that enables the MPK (or MPC) to automatically play a rhythm pattern, such as 16th notes on a hi-hat, for accuracy and speed of entry. MPC Swing is sometimes referred to as "the heart and soul of hip hop" because it turns perfectly aligned sequences into human feeling time alignments. You can specify exactly the degree and timing of swing you want to apply for the perfect feel.
On top of MPC technologies, the MPK25 has its own arpeggiator, which enables you to create quick, creative riffs in seconds.
MPK25 also has MPC Full Level and MPC 12-Level on its pads, as well as Tap Tempo and Time Division so you can nail the tempo, timing, and dynamics exactly as you hear them in your head.
The MPK25 is a MIDI controller that sends its MIDI values over USB. It is bus powered, so all you need to connect and power the MPK25 is the supplied USB cable. Because it is MIDI compliant, the MPK25 works with most MIDI recording, sequencing, and performance software for musical performers from keyboard players to producers to DJs and even VJs!
The MPK25 comes with Ableton Live Lite Akai Edition, one of the most popular and powerful performance and production programs in the world. Ableton Live Lite enables musicians to spontaneously compose, record, remix, improvise, and edit musical ideas in a seamless audio/MIDI environment.
Create and perform anywhere with the MPK25. It's the most expression you'll find in a portable, convenient package.

British singer Lily Allen is fuming after details of her upcoming wedding were leaked, and she's vowed to track down whoever went public with their invitation and ban them from the ceremony.
RELATED: The Perils of Celebrity Pregnancy
Allen's marriage plans became public knowledge on Wednesday after Britain's The Sun newspaper printed a save-the-date note sent out by the couple. It was revealed that the "Smile" singer will wed her fiance, Sam Cooper, on June 11 near their country retreat in Gloucestershire, England.
But Allen is not happy with the news that someone in her circle handed the document to the press, and she has taken to her Twitter page to officially remove the offender from the guest list.
She writes, "Whoever leaked my wedding invite to the press, you're a d--- and your not invited anymore, have some respect and stay at home." | <urn:uuid:cbfa0872-5278-484f-9b40-1fd69fb41be2> | CC-MAIN-2016-40 | http://www.wonderwall.com/entertainment/lily-allen-fuming-over-wedding-leak-1611746.article | 2016-09-25T12:22:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-40/segments/1474738660208.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20160924173740-00067-ip-10-143-35-109.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.981294 | 181 |

NEW YORK, Jan 14 (APP):The White House requested options for a military strike against Iran last September, the Wall Street Journal reported Monday, citing current and former U.S. officials. The request, reportedly made the National Security Council led by National Security Advisor John Bolton, alarmed Pentagon and State Department officials, the newspaper said. The Council made the move after an "Iranian-aligned group" fired missiles into Baghdad’s diplomatic quarter, which hosts the U.S. embassy in Iraq. No one was harmed.Meanwhile, The New York Times cited senior Pentagon officials as expressing "deepening fears" that Bolton, whom the newspaper called "hawkish," could precipitate a conflict with Iran at a time when President Donald Trump is losing leverage in the Middle East by pulling out American troops. According to the Wall Street Journal, it remains unclear whether President Trump himself knew about the request, whether the Pentagon ultimately delivered military options to the White House, and if concrete attack plans against the Islamic Republic were actually formulated. But officials who spoke to the newspaper confirmed that the Defence Department did indeed comply with the National Security Council’s request to develop those options.Bolton, an avid proponent of the Iraq invasion during the George W. Bush administration, has long taken one of the hardest lines against Iran in Washington and has openly supported the idea of regime change in Tehran. Garrett Marquis, a spokesman for the National Security Council told The Journal: “We continue to review the status of our personnel following attempted attacks on our embassy in Baghdad and our Basra consulate, and we will consider a full range of options to preserve their safety and our interests.” Bolton, 70, a former US ambassador to the United Nations, is not the only Iran hawk in Trump’s circle of top advisers, The New York Times pointed out. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo declared in a speech at the American University in Cairo last week that “countries increasingly understand that we must confront the ayatollahs, not coddle them.” Earlier this month, he warned Iran against launching three spacecraft, describing them as a pretext for testing missile technology that is necessary to carry a warhead to the United States and other nations. His statement appeared aimed at building a legal case for diplomatic, military or covert action against the Iranian missile program. "It was surprising because Iran has used these modest space missions, mostly to deploy satellites, since 2005," the Times said. The senior American official said that the Pentagon and the intelligence agencies disagreed with Pompeo’s interpretation of the threat posed by the satellite launches. Speaking on Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” during a visit to Abu Dhabi, in the United Arab Emirates, Pompeo discounted the argument that Trump’s decision to withdraw 2,000 American troops from Syria in the coming months undercuts Washington’s ability to achieve its other goals in the region. “That certainly includes in Syria,” he said. “It certainly includes into Iran, if need be.” But Pompeo also opposed the idea of an airstrike on Iran after its attack on the embassy, according to a former senior administration official. On Sunday, he declined to comment about The Journal’s report. On each stop of his Middle East trip, Pompeo, a former Army officer, has spoken of the need to counter Iran, but has not talked of military action. When Bolton's predecessor, H.R. McMaster, then a three-star Army general, took over as national security adviser in early 2017, he ordered a new overall war plan for Iran. Gen Mattis, the former Pentagon chief, who is himself an Iran hawk from his days as a Marine Corps commander in the region, delivered options. But those plans were not for the kind of pinpoint strikes that Bolton envisioned after the attack on the American Embassy on Sept. 6. | <urn:uuid:ba6e77a1-5756-479f-8ca5-4852f4a4920a> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www.app.com.pk/white-house-asked-pentagon-to-draw-up-plans-to-strike-iran-report/ | 2019-06-15T20:43:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627997335.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20190615202724-20190615224724-00087.warc.gz | en | 0.966138 | 794 |

Outlander is the Game of Thrones of soccer moms. Right?
I’ve never seen an episode of Outlander, but the whispered exchanges I’ve walked in on coupled with the marketing posters that look like a fantasy perfume ad have convinced me I need to give the show a try.
So, before I marathon the first half of the season in preparation for Saturday’s mid-season premiere, here’s what I’ve come to assume Outlander is all about.
Outlander takes place in Scotland.
The mountains are so beautiful! The trees are so beautiful! The world is so beautiful! No wonder Wills and Kate fell in love!
But not today’s Scotland. Because: time travel.
The time travel makes Scotland EVEN MORE ROMANTIC because the beautiful scenery isn’t obstructed by silly things like roads and working sewer systems. Additionally, the beautiful kilted men are given free reign to embrace their masculinity without being confined by the social constructs of good hygiene. (We all know how deodorant and regular showers are SUCH a turn off.)
A sassy, modern-day heroine wrestles with the confines of a patriarchal society.
What is a beautiful woman in a country full of Scottish rogues to do???? How will she assert her own independence????
But seriously, traveling back in time to end up stuck with a bunch of stinky strangers kind of sounds terrible. And how is this chick supposed to Google time-traveling solutions without a computer??
She misses her husband a lot.
He’s not as sexy nor as Scottish as the fellas she finds in the time traveling highlands, but we shouldn’t hold that against him.
But maybe not that much, because there’s also JAMIE.
Jamie is the moon of Outlander’s life. He is the sun and the stars.
Jamie has sexy, Scottish bedroom eyes.
They pierce into your soul, begging you to touch those weird rock formations at your local park. Maybe they will whisk you away to your own sexy Scotsman?
Jamie is a virgin.
Despite his bedroom eyes, Jamie is inexperienced in the bedroom. Because he has been waiting for YOU. His inexperience is part of his appeal. He is here to be YOURS, to do with as you wish. Look at his innocence. HE ONLY WANTS TO PLEASE YOUR SOUL.
Just kidding. He’s not anymore.
But I hear he is pretty good in the sack…
Outlander’s mid-season premiere is this Saturday, April 4 on Starz.
Did I get it right? What’s ‘Outlander’ all about?

I’m in the process of researching the origin and evolution of data science as a discipline and a profession. Here are the milestones that I have picked up so far, tracking the evolution of the term “data science,” attempts to define it, and some related developments. I would greatly appreciate any pointers to additional key milestones (events, publications, etc.).
[An updated version of this timeline is at Forbes.com]
1974 Peter Naur publishes Concise Survey of Computer Methods in Sweden and the United States. The book is a survey of contemporary data processing methods that are used in a wide range of applications. It is organized around the concept of data as defined in the IFIP Guide to Concepts and Terms in Data Processing, which defines data as “a representation of facts or ideas in a formalized manner capable of being communicated or manipulated by some process.“ The Preface to the book tells the reader that a course plan was presented at the IFIP Congress in 1968, titled “Datalogy, the science of data and of data processes and its place in education,“ and that in the text of the book, ”the term ‘data science’ has been used freely.” Naur offers the following definition of data science: “The science of dealing with data, once they have been established, while the relation of the data to what they represent is delegated to other fields and sciences.”
1977 The International Association for Statistical Computing (IASC) was founded as a Section of the ISI. “It is the mission of the IASC to link traditional statistical methodology, modern computer technology, and the knowledge of domain experts in order to convert data into information and knowledge.”
1989 Gregory Piatetsky-Shapiro organizes and chairs the first Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD) workshop. In 1995, it became the annual ACM SIGKDD Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (KDD).
1996 Members of the International Federation of Classification Societies (IFCS) meet in Tokyo for their biennial conference. For the first time, the term “data science” is included in the title of the conference (“Data science, classification, and related methods”). The IFCS was founded in 1985 by six country- and language-specific classification societies, one of which, The Classification Society, was founded in 1964. The aim of these classification societies has been to support the study of “the principle and practice of classification in a wide range of disciplines”(CS), “research in problems of classification, data analysis, and systems for ordering knowledge”(IFCS), and the “study of classification and clustering (including systematic methods of creating classifications from data) and related statistical and data analytic methods“ (CSNA bylaws). The classification societies have variously used the terms data analysis, data mining, and data science in their publications.
1997 Launch of the journal Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining: “Advances in data gathering, storage, and distribution have created a need for computational tools and techniques to aid in data analysis. Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD) is a rapidly growing area of research and application that builds on techniques and theories from many fields, including statistics, databases, pattern recognition and learning, data visualization, uncertainty modelling, data warehousing and OLAP, optimization, and high performance computing. KDD is concerned with issues of scalability, the multi-step knowledge discovery process for extracting useful patterns and models from raw data stores (including data cleaning and noise modelling), and issues of making discovered patterns understandable.”
2001 William S. Cleveland (then at Bell Labs, now at the Department of Statistics at Purdue University) publishes “Data Science: An Action Plan for Expanding the Technical Areas of the Field of Statistics.” It is a plan “to enlarge the major areas of technical work of the field of statistics. Because the plan is ambitious and implies substantial change, the altered field will be called ‘data science.’” The plan “sets out six technical areas for a university department”: Multidisciplinary Investigations, Models and Methods for Data, Computing with Data, Pedagogy, Tool Evaluation, and Theory. Cleveland puts the proposed new discipline in the context of computer science and the contemporary work on data mining: “…the benefit to the data analyst has been limited, because the knowledge among computer scientists about how to think of and approach the analysis of data is limited, just as the knowledge of computing environments by statisticians is limited. A merger of knowledge bases would produce a powerful force for innovation. This suggests that statisticians should look to computing for knowledge today just as data science looked to mathematics in the past. … departments of data science should contain faculty members who devote their careers to advances in computing with data and who form partnership with computer scientists.”
April 2002 The Data Science Journal is launched, publishing papers on “the management of data and databases in Science and Technology. The scope of the Journal includes descriptions of data systems, their publication on the internet, applications and legal issues.” The journal is published by the Committee on Data for Science and Technology (CODATA) of the International Council for Science (ICSU).
January 2003 The Journal of Data Science is launched: “By ‘Data Science’ we mean almost everything that has something to do with data: Collecting, analyzing, modeling…… yet the most important part is its applications — all sorts of applications. This journal is devoted to applications of statistical methods at large…. The Journal of Data Science will provide a platform for all data workers to present their views and exchange ideas.”
September 2005 The National Science Board publishes “Long-lived Digital Data Collections: Enabling Research and Education in the 21st Century.” One of the recommendations of the report reads: “The NSF, working in partnership with collection managers and the community at large, should act to develop and mature the career path for data scientists and to ensure that the research enterprise includes a sufficient number of high-quality data scientists.” The report defines data scientists as “the information and computer scientists, database and software engineers and programmers, disciplinary experts, curators and expert annotators, librarians, archivists, and others, who are crucial to the successful management of a digital data collection.”
July 2008 The JISC publishes the final report of a study it commissioned to “examine and make recommendations on the role and career development of data scientists and the associated supply of specialist data curation skills to the research community. “ The study’s final report, “The Skills, Role & Career Structure of Data Scientists & Curators: Assessment of Current Practice & Future Needs,” defines data scientists as “people who work where the research is carried out – or, in the case of data centre personnel, in close collaboration with the creators of the data – and may be involved in creative enquiry and analysis, enabling others to work with digital data, and developments in data base technology.”
January 2009 Harnessing the Power of Digital Data for Science and Society is published. This report of the Interagency Working Group on Digital Data to the Committee on Science of the National Science and Technology Council states that “The nation needs to identify and promote the emergence of new disciplines and specialists expert in addressing the complex and dynamic challenges of digital preservation, sustained access, reuse and repurposing of data. Many disciplines are seeing the emergence of a new type of data science and management expert, accomplished in the computer, information, and data sciences arenas and in another domain science. These individuals are key to the current and future success of the scientific enterprise. However, these individuals often receive little recognition for their contributions and have limited career paths. Critical challenges in achieving our strategic vision include providing an effective pipeline of data professionals to ensure that the needs and opportunities of the future can be met and providing these professionals with appropriate rewards and recognition.” The report discusses the emergence of “new information disciplines” and lists a few examples:
- Digital Curators: experts knowledgeable of and with responsibility for the content of digital collection(s);
- Digital Archivists: experts competent to appraise, acquire, authenticate, preserve, and provide access to records in digital form; and
- Data Scientists: information and computer scientists, database and software engineers and programmers, disciplinary experts, expert annotators, and others who are crucial to the successful management of a digital data collection.
May 2009 Mike Driscoll writes in “The Three Sexy Skills of Data Geeks”: “…with the Age of Data upon us, those who can model, munge, and visually communicate data — call us statisticians or data geeks — are a hot commodity.” [Driscoll will follow up with The Seven Secrets of Successful Data Scientists in August 2010]
June 2009 Nathan Yau writes in “Rise of the Data Scientist”: “As we’ve all read by now, Google’s chief economist Hal Varian commented in January that the next sexy job in the next 10 years would be statisticians. Obviously, I whole-heartedly agree. Heck, I’d go a step further and say they’re sexy now – mentally and physically. However, if you went on to read the rest of Varian’s interview, you’d know that by statisticians, he actually meant it as a general title for someone who is able to extract information from large datasets and then present something of use to non-data experts… [Ben] Fry… argues for an entirely new field that combines the skills and talents from often disjoint areas of expertise… [computer science; mathematics, statistics, and data mining; graphic design; infovis and human-computer interaction]. And after two years of highlighting visualization on FlowingData, it seems collaborations between the fields are growing more common, but more importantly, computational information design edges closer to reality. We’re seeing data scientists – people who can do it all – emerge from the rest of the pack.”
[update]February 2010 Kenneth Cukier writes in “Data, data everywhere: A special report on managing information“: “… a new kind of professional has emerged, the data scientist, who combines the skills of software programmer, statistician and storyteller/artist to extract the nuggets of gold hidden under mountains of data.”
June 2010 Mike Loukides writes in “What is Data Science?”: “Data scientists combine entrepreneurship with patience, the willingness to build data products incrementally, the ability to explore, and the ability to iterate over a solution. They are inherently interdisciplinary. They can tackle all aspects of a problem, from initial data collection and data conditioning to drawing conclusions. They can think outside the box to come up with new ways to view the problem, or to work with very broadly defined problems: ‘here’s a lot of data, what can you make from it?’”
September 2010 Hilary Mason and Chris Wiggins write in “A Taxonomy of Data Science”: “…we thought it would be useful to propose one possible taxonomy… of what a data scientist does, in roughly chronological order: Obtain, Scrub, Explore, Model, and iNterpret…. Data science is clearly a blend of the hackers’ arts… statistics and machine learning… and the expertise in mathematics and the domain of the data for the analysis to be interpretable… It requires creative decisions and open-mindedness in a scientific context.”
September 2010 Drew Conway writes in “The Data Science Venn Diagram”: “…one needs to learn a lot as they aspire to become a fully competent data scientist. Unfortunately, simply enumerating texts and tutorials does not untangle the knots. Therefore, in an effort to simplify the discussion, and add my own thoughts to what is already a crowded market of ideas, I present the Data Science Venn Diagram… hacking skills, math and stats knowledge, and substantive expertise.”
May 2011 Pete Warden writes in “Why the term ‘data science’ is flawed but useful”: “There is no widely accepted boundary for what’s inside and outside of data science’s scope. Is it just a faddish rebranding of statistics? I don’t think so, but I also don’t have a full definition. I believe that the recent abundance of data has sparked something new in the world, and when I look around I see people with shared characteristics who don’t fit into traditional categories. These people tend to work beyond the narrow specialties that dominate the corporate and institutional world, handling everything from finding the data, processing it at scale, visualizing it and writing it up as a story. They also seem to start by looking at what the data can tell them, and then picking interesting threads to follow, rather than the traditional scientist’s approach of choosing the problem first and then finding data to shed light on it.”
May 2011 David Smith writes in “’Data Science’: What’s in a name?”: “The terms ‘Data Science’ and ‘Data Scientist’ have only been in common usage for a little over a year, but they’ve really taken off since then: many companies are now hiring for ‘data scientists’, and entire conferences are run under the name of ‘data science’. But despite the widespread adoption, some have resisted the change from the more traditional terms like ‘statistician’ or ‘quant’ or ‘data analyst’…. I think ‘Data Science’ better describes what we actually do: a combination of computer hacking, data analysis, and problem solving.”
September 2011 Harlan Harris writes in “Data Science, Moore’s Law, and Moneyball” : “’Data Science’ is defined as what ‘Data Scientists’ do. What Data Scientists do has been very well covered, and it runs the gamut from data collection and munging, through application of statistics and machine learning and related techniques, to interpretation, communication, and visualization of the results. Who Data Scientists are may be the more fundamental question… I tend to like the idea that Data Science is defined by its practitioners, that it’s a career path rather than a category of activities. In my conversations with people, it seems that people who consider themselves Data Scientists typically have eclectic career paths, that might in some ways seem not to make much sense.”
September 2011 DJ Patil writes in “Building Data Science Teams”: “Starting in 2008, Jeff Hammerbacher (@hackingdata) and I sat down to share our experiences building the data and analytics groups at Facebook and LinkedIn. In many ways, that meeting was the start of data science as a distinct professional specialization…. we realized that as our organizations grew, we both had to figure out what to call the people on our teams. ‘Business analyst’ seemed too limiting. ‘Data analyst’ was a contender, but we felt that title might limit what people could do. After all, many of the people on our teams had deep engineering expertise. ‘Research scientist’ was a reasonable job title used by companies like Sun, HP, Xerox, Yahoo, and IBM. However, we felt that most research scientists worked on projects that were futuristic and abstract, and the work was done in labs that were isolated from the product development teams. It might take years for lab research to affect key products, if it ever did. Instead, the focus of our teams was to work on data applications that would have an immediate and massive impact on the business. The term that seemed to fit best was data scientist: those who use both data and science to create something new. “
Update: Gregory Piatetsky-Shapiro posted a great discussion of the journey from data mining to big data. Note that in this timeline, I tried to focus on specific mentions of “data science” and attempts to define it.

Researchers recently sent hundreds of ants to the orbiting International Space Station. By studying how the ants adjust their behavior to cope with near-zero gravity conditions, scientists could improve the algorithms autonomous robots follow to search disaster scenes for survivors.
Now it's not just people - robots are also connected by internet thanks to RoboEarth. Last week, after four years of research, scientists at Eindhoven University of Technology, Philips and four other European universities presented this online platform through which robots can learn new skills from each other worldwide - a kind of 'Wikipedia for robots'.
January is a time when many of us seek to better ourselves. We want to learn a new skill or improve an existing one. A network designed especially for robots, RoboEarth, is being tested in the Netherlands this week to help them with their own attempts at self-improvement. Soon our mechanical friends will be able to swap tips on how to best care for us and learn about their worlds.
Using arm sensors that can 'read' a person's muscle movements, Georgia Institute of Technology researchers have created a control system that makes robots more intelligent. The sensors send information to the robot, allowing it to anticipate a human's movements and correct its own. The system is intended to improve time, safety and efficiency in manufacturing plants.
Medical implants, complex interfaces between brain and machine or remotely controlled insects: Recent developments combining machines and organisms have great potentials, but also give rise to major ethical concerns. A new review entitled 'The Chemistry of Cyborgs - Interfacing Technical Devices with Organisms' discusses the state of the art of research, opportunities, and risks.
What if, in a few years from now, human surgeons were only needed for the most delicate operations, leaving more common tasks to robots? This not-so-fictional future is the dream of Dr Paolo Fiorini, who coordinated the EUROSURGE project, which ultimately targets the commercialisation of newly developed technologies in this sector.
Google recently acquired eight high profile start-up robotics companies, providing strong evidence of a strategy to create breakthrough applications for robotics over the next decade. This strategy is most likely to concentrate on manufacturing and logistics.

Andy Pilgrim has been a professional race driver for 29 years, winning five championships along the way, and is currently a Pro driver for GM Racing’s Team Cadillac. Andy will be at the Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum on Saturday, August 9th at 11:00 AM, to present a seminar on traffic safety and distracted driving. The seminar will be right before the Corvette Demo Day.
Andy is a leading force in bringing attention to the critical role parents play in their children’s driving education. Most parents never think about the fact that driver education starts the moment a parent turns that child safety seat around. Andy is also leading ground breaking efforts to put mobility knowledge into middle schools.
The seminar is free with regular museum admission, but you must register in advance by going here. | <urn:uuid:e3967947-9bae-4f63-a0ce-ede30adec6fd> | CC-MAIN-2014-23 | http://simeonemuseum.org/event/safe-driving-seminar-by-racer-andy-pilgrim | 2014-08-01T11:50:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-23/segments/1406510274979.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20140728011754-00019-ip-10-146-231-18.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.97083 | 161 |
