If you haven’t made the foray into growing your own garlic yet, I highly recommend it as homegrown garlic is absolutely delicious. It was a bit of an initial outlay last year to get plenty of bulbs in order to provide enough garlic both to eat and to plant the following year, but we did it. And every year that you can manage that, the cost goes down. (I think DB refers to this as the ROI, or Return On Investment. Or some other such business-y lingo.)
So if you’ve followed my advice and you’ve planted an enormous bed of garlic, how do you know when it’s ready? And what do you do with it when it is?
We consider our garlic ready when the bottom third of the leaves turn brown.
I’ve read that you don’t want to wait until the entire stalk is brown, as by that point the cloves will have already started to separate and you want a nice tight head for prolonged storage. Once your garlic has reached this point, usually in late May for us, we’ll use a spading fork to gently loosen the heads from the surrounding soil. Then we bang off as much dirt as possible and spread the garlic to cure in the sun for a few days. (Obviously, you will want to keep a close watch on the weather.)
After curing in the sun for a few days, we move the garlic to the garage, spread it out, and aim fans at it to continue the drying process away from possible storms. You will also want to take the time to brush off as much dirt as possible, even if this includes gently peeling away the driest outermost layer of paper. You can also trim the roots, either at this point or when you’re getting ready to braid your garlic.
After about two weeks, your garlic is ready to braid for extended storage! I seriously contemplated taking step by step pictures of the entire process for you guys. But the website where I’ve gotten my instructions (Bloomingfields Farm) has a phenomenal how-to guide, complete with pictures, so I figured you should just check them out.
I did have to refresh my memory this year as to the whole process. And I re-refrenced the how-to guide each braid I made. This year was the first time I decided to follow their advice and soak the garlic stems to make them more pliable for braiding.
This added quite a bit of time to the process, but I have to say that it really does make a huge difference in the ease of braiding. And your stalks fray less as you’re working with them. I only soaked the stalks for 20-30 minutes, but if I had the patience to soak them longer, I think I could have gotten a more tightly braided finished product.
Additionally, if you’ve read the how-to instructions and you’re tempted to skip the step of making a Starting Knot – don’t. Your braid will just unravel from the bottom up and then all of your hard work will be for nothing. If you really don’t want to go through the trouble of making a starting knot or you don’t have any heads with thin/pliable enough stalks for this step, you could put twine around the bottom and the top of your braid.
I can only manage to get about 10 heads of garlic in a braid before it gets too unwieldy for me to continue. I have no idea how people can make wreaths with, like, 40 heads in them, but I can see how they would charge a lot of money for such a wonder once it was created.
And once all of the heads are braided up, just find a nice place that’s cool and dry to store them. We use our guest bathroom upstairs and make an effort to run the vent fan intermittently to make sure it stays dry. The garlic from last year lasted until we ran out of it (rather than it spoiling), which was probably 10 months give or take a few weeks. And we use a lot of garlic in our cooking.
And if you’re going to have that much garlic to use, you should really invest in this garlic press.
I worked in restaurants for years, so I’m perfectly capable of mincing garlic by hand. But this press is amazing and something that I’m not quite sure how I ever lived without. It’s also pretty handy for mincing ginger as well. | <urn:uuid:658e61df-ace3-451a-9692-95142b42011b> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | https://beercatbrewing.com/2014/06/16/garlic-braiding/ | 2017-06-23T03:23:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128319992.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20170623031127-20170623051127-00359.warc.gz | en | 0.970184 | 953 |

This week I talked with fine art travel and landscape photographer Karen Hutton about creating art around the sense of awe. Karen spoke eloquently about creating art that is expressive of us and communicates the message or feeling we want to put out in the world - what we want to embody. Our photographs are a direct reflection of us and what we want our work to say.
Karen started our conversation talking about pursuing a sense of awe in everyday life and replacing our negative response to the world with something more positive.
"Life is awesome. The world is amazing. People are incredible.
I can focus on things that annoy me –– but when I do, I make myself miserable. The thing is, you can can’t simply stop doing a thing, because nature abhors a vacuum. Personally, when I find myself focusing on my reality selection in crazy making ways, I have to actively infuse my mind with what I want to feel. Y’now, “Stop the madness!” I have to lighten up a little, accept what is - and make the decision to focus on outcomes that’ll make me feel amazing and good."
Finding and capturing awe in our photographs isn’t always easy. There are many distractions in every day life, but being open to experiencing awe can completely change our photographic work.
For Karen, it comes down to deciding how we want to live and what we want our photographic work to say. Photography is an expression of who we are. Each of us has a unique and special view and every life experience we have shapes our art.
"All you have is who you are.
Just you and the camera - that’s it.
You have to know yourself. Dig into a rich inner life. Develop yourself. Decide what it is you really want to and simply must say. It takes what - 3 weeks to learn some photography technique? Maybe I exaggerate. The point is… then what? The technique is like the part where you learn how to drive a car. Once you have the basics down - then you have to decide where you’d like to go, who you’d like to visit - what you’d like to experience. Where will those fancy driving skills take you?
We can get really good at photography really quickly - probably faster than a writer or speaker or painter can. So entry level is easily accessible. That’s why there are so many bad photos out there in social media. Mind you, I’m not criticizing… entry level is never pretty in anything. It sure wasn’t pretty for me either!
But the unique thing about photography is that feedback is immediate. So you can get better at it in a really short time. You can look at an image in the back of the camera right after you take it and in 5 minutes take a better photograph. That’s so great!
Here’s the thing though: photography can only be so perfect in a technical sense. Obsession with gear and technique and being perfect just squeezes the life and humanity out of a photo. For instance, sharpness is good, but you’ve got to know why you want sharpness – or not! Is it because photography is “supposed” to be sharp? Or because sharpness tells the right story? You need to know! You may want to mess it up, make some parts blurry, or texture it up. The key is to know your why about any photo you take."
I asked Karen to choose one of her photos and talk about Awe and Artistic Voice. She chose this photo called “Survivor on a Sunday Morning” – and I was thrilled. This is one of my personal favorites from Karen’s portfolio. Karen describes the feeling and how she captured that feeling technically in the photograph.
"The power of life and light leaves me awestruck, always. The undeniable will to LIVE, the gesture of reaching for light; sometimes it just brings me to my knees. In those moments, I’m humbled, filled with so much love and wonder I feel like I might burst. I see these qualities everywhere I go in nature. And in this tree; against all odds, growing out of sheer rock, as it leans into radiant morning light, thriving - well it took my breath away.
I chose a 30 sec exposure to smooth the water just a bit, because I wanted to express this moment as slightly “altered”. I wanted it to represent a feeling, not a literal translation. I love that space that exists in between fantasy and reality; it’s most often how I see the world. Using a shallow depth of field put the focus on the tree and let the island behind it take a step back, which put my story in the right context.
In post-processing, I took that notion a bit further, darkening the background some, enhancing the light so that it felt like the warm caress of morning sunlight on an upturned face. I worked with the details in the foreground, enhanced the colors - and gave it a particular palette, to deepen the experience of altered reality. To me, the enticing part is that while it IS enhanced… it could also be real, seen through a certain set of eyes. Which is just like life. You can choose how you see your moments, your path, your options.
I wanted to create an image that had something to say, to tell a story. A message about the power of desire, of life and the spectacular experience we’re all having on this incredible planet. Or COULD be having, should we choose it. I love it - and it came out exactly the way I felt it that Sunday morning, breathing in the glory of Emerald Bay on Lake Tahoe, California."
Karen started her workshop/retreat series, The Artist’s Voice, to help photographers tap into their muse, their more creative self and make signature images. Karen began forming the idea after some social media conversations about how to create unique photos that more directly reflects the photographer.
"When flipping through social media stream - you want for your fans and followers to know an image is yours. Like: BOOM that’s Jenn’s! Yet, no one could explain how you do that. Even finding vocabulary to talk about that was really challenging. People said you either have “it” or you don’t. Well, I know better. I know that to a great extent, developing an imprint of yourself in your images is learnable."
Karen developed a system for teaching the process of finding a unique photographic signature. Building on her experience as a voiceover artist, she talked about finding a “celebrity voice” – a signature voice that makes the artist special. A voice that is instantly recognizable. She talked about finding a sense of “who-they-areness.” This signature is what the artist is known for.
Karen tries to help photographers understand and create this sense of “who-they-areness.”
"The “Style” conversation is tricky. It’s possible to get stuck in a “style” that works for you on some level, then simply rinse and repeat it in everything. But you don’t grow as an artist that way. My thinking is that your Style has to grow and evolve with you - reflect who you are as a creative being, a creative soul. In that way, it becomes less your Style - and more your voice - the imprint of your soul.
Personally, I think life is like this amazing an artistic quest.. It’s not about living as we were conditioned toe, but about returning to the soul voice we were born with.
Every thing you do - from photography, to cleaning the kitchen, to running errands is an invitation to find your unique way of seeing the world. There is only one You… what does he or she want to say? That’s living life as your art. That’s also what gives depth and dimension to your photography."
Karen is known for her landscape photography, but for her it’s less about the genre of photography and more about her personal photographic vision.
"What I do - and teach - is to express a point of view about everything I photograph. It doesn’t matter where or when or what genre. I bring the same set of eyes to everything. Who I am behind the camera is who I am. Doesn’t matter whether I’m shooting the Alps or an apple. It’s all being photographed from my own perspective, sensibilities - always seeking the love and awe of the moment. My photos are not about creating someone else’s idea of what’s pretty, valuable, worth shooting. It lends a certain consistency of voice to my work."
She talked about finding awe in nature, but also finding awe when photographing newborns or at a friend’s wedding. She talked of finding awe on the streets of New York or in a studio or at a family gathering. Awe can be found everywhere by being present in the moment. It’s the feeling, not the genre, that’s important.
Actively inviting moments of awe and a connection is a transcendent way of being.
"Artistically, it makes you develop this second set of eyes that can’t help but see beauty in everything, from the smallest to the most epic. It’s a shift from the banal and everyday - into a world of light and life that leaves you breathlessly in Awe. That’s when you begin to truly see photographically. One of the superpowers of Awe is that it’s actually now been proven to improve your health, level out your heart rate, become kinder and more caring about others, even change how you see your possibilities in life. Capturing awe in art is a truly profound thing to do."
When I asked Karen my favorite interview question; what for her is a successful photograph, her answer was almost poetic:
"One that makes it impossible to determine where I end and the photograph begins. It’s indistinguishable. It simply contains the brushstroke of my heart and soul and spirit, like capturing a firefly."
Karen had a few tips about how we can create successful photographs and provided some insight into how she works when capturing her amazing landscape images.
"Slow down. Look and feel first.
Don’t even pick camera up until you feel a sense of Awe, however small. It might be a whole body feeling - or maybe a gasp, a little tickle in your stomach, a feeling of “Yes!” in your gut. You might be struck silent - or whoop out loud in joy. Point is, there’s a physical feeling to go along with the “the moment”. Take your time, sense your body for those responses. It’s an interesting thing to try - and might just change how you see!
OK sure, you might miss your shot at first; it’s like hand-eye coordination… only more sophisticated. But you’ll get better and faster at it. Pretty soon, you not only won’t miss the moment… you’ll feel the moment coming.
Lots of people think about settings and getting the “right” shot.
But take to next level: feel for that identifier – like that gasp – and only then take the photograph.
Then, look at photograph - did you get it? Is your point clear - or is the photograph too general? Did you shoot wide, hoping there’s a good picture in there if you crop in far enough? See if you can get more specific and compose in-camera. Do you need to step back? Get closer? Become clearer on what you’re trying to capture.
Hone in on what the story is, what your point is, what you most want to convey.
Did I mention - get more specific? Pretty soon, your voice will become embedded in the very pixels of your images and your “signature” will sing out.
Rinse & repeat."
Karen admits that she rarely clicks the shutter button if she doesn’t feel a sense of awe and this feeling embeds in her images.
For Karen, photography is a way of sharing her vision and her sense of self with the world, but it is the experiences of our lives that are most important. Karen reminds us that, “sometimes the best photographs are simply the ones we have in our minds. Sometimes put the camera down and just experience the moment.”
"Photography allows us to communicate our feelings and help others experience what we’re feeling, our point of view, our message, that which we think is beautiful - even Awe. In that way, photography has the power to move people, affect them in such positive ways - even change them - and by so doing, change the world through art, Awe and vision."

I'm going to make an assumption so correct me if I'm wrong. You're looking at a Princess sailing that is sold out and have been offer the possibilty of being added to a waitlist. Princess seems to never actually close their sailings anymore, they just offer you a waitlist when they sell out. For most people a waitlist position is futile no matter the number. Waitlists open to allow them to sell cabins if there are cancellations. Most cancellation inside the penalty period happen within 48 hours of a cruise. That's when you realize you're too sick to go or their is a death in the family or some other tragedy that will prevent you from going. Remember, you can't just cancel and be refunded so there are very few cancellation inside penalty.
If they call you 24-48 hours before a sailing can you pack and get to the pier? If you need to fly, probably not. Also they won't confirm the price until you clear the waitlist. They can charge anything they want at that point. If you decline, they call the next person on the list. If you want to cruise, skip the waitlist and find another ship or sailing date. You'll be assured of having a cruise that way and be able to know the price and make other arrangements for transportation. | <urn:uuid:bca541c4-8aef-4efa-9b0b-7f240347ec83> | CC-MAIN-2014-35 | http://www.cruisereviews.com/forum/170681-post3.html | 2014-08-21T06:47:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-35/segments/1408500815050.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20140820021335-00240-ip-10-180-136-8.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.975133 | 268 |
Acclaimed art patron, Sergei Diaghilev who set up the widely influential touring ballet company, Ballets Russes in
Paris, is also credited with inspiring young Eastern Europeans to devote themselves to the craft. And it is exactly
the layers of artistic, technical and precise craft that correlate with high-end artisanal shoemaking. The symmetry
stretches further with the dancer’s relationship with a shoe – one that can make or break a performance. Ballet
dancers are well-renowned to manipulate shoes before entering the stage. Each role can require a different type of
shoe. In a New York Times article by Tobi Tobias, American ballet dancer Eleanor D'Antuono talks about the
need for different shoe characteristics. She explains that: “To sustain the ethereal quality of “Giselle”, the
softest shoes are used to keep the footwork light and noiseless. But for the bravura “Don Quixote” pas de deux, or
Odile's flashing feats in the third act of “Swan Lake”, the buttress of a considerably firmer pair is needed”. It is
these exacting standards, that are upheld by the very best shoemakers. For ballet performers to reach the zenith of
their discipline, they will have done so through an uncompromising and lengthy journey. Friend of The Rake
and model for our 'Art of Footwear' series Solomon Golding can attest to this. He overcame initial rejection at the
Royal Ballet School to become the first British-born black dancer to perform for the prestigious ballet company.
Also known for his attempts at a pirouette, but more seriously his admiration for bespoke shoemaking, The
Rake’s Editor-in-Chief Tom Chamberlin discovered during a collaboration with G.J. Cleverley that bespoke
shoemaking really isn’t for the faint of heart. And like successful ballet performers, he discovered that the
journey is totally worth it – as the result is an artistic masterpiece that future generations can benefit
Comparable to a couture showpiece, using the lobster dress produced in collaboration between Schiaparelli and
Salvador Dalí as illustration, the appreciation of the artistry attached to sui generis shoes doesn’t stop at
purchase. In 2017 – a pair of ballet shoes worn by the legendary dancer and choreographer Mikhail Baryshnikov sold
at the charity auction “Art for Life” for one million roubles.
Shoes in many ways are the pivot that allows expression across a wide array of recreations and artistic disciplines.
They have acted as the fulcrum for some of the most memorable actions in showbiz history. Most people on this earth
at some stage will have tried to imitate Michael Jackson’s famous moonwalk, performed in a pair of black leather
loafers. In slightly more sartorial environs, the influence that Fred Astaire’s style and entertainment mastery had
on other males during the Great Depression cannot be underestimated. Whether it be dancing with Ginger Rogers, Rita
Hayworth or on his own, his impeccable choice of footwear always stood out. The very best handmade two-tone
spectator shoes or Oxfords in either white or buckskin or brown suede, were favoured by Astaire. Sporting those
elegant shoes, ballet legend George Balanchine once called him “the greatest dancer in the world.” And upon meeting
him, the celebrated choreographer Bob Fosse could hardly form words. Much later incidentally, Oscar-winner and
former cover star of The Rake, Sam Rockwell would portray Bob Fosse in the series Fosse/Verdon.
Dancing or “hoofing” as Rockwell calls it, is actually a skill that he developed early in life and is very good at.
Despite his silky moves he said: “Playing Bob Fosse is no joke.” Another iconic figure with slick and athletic steps
as demonstrated in An American in Paris, 1951 Gene Kelly never veered away from his trusty penny loafers,
which says a lot about the artistic versatility of the shoe. And then you see the impact and contribution that
converse has had on culture. Fans include: James Dean, Kurt Cobain, Andy Warhol, Patti Smith and Karl Lagerfeld – a
quintet that collectively have pushed the boundaries of art in different-yet-ground-breaking directions.
The point is that shoes, and pairs made my adept artisans for that matter – are not only the result of technical
guile and artistry – but they have the ability to make much greater impacts through the realms of artistic
expression and practice. All those years back in 1919, Nijinsky who mostly wore leather ballet shoes - performed his
last dance of note in reference to war, and a nudge over 100 years later, that disturbing performance could suddenly
have serious resonance once again. | <urn:uuid:29e4568a-0053-48b6-9001-671528681dc8> | CC-MAIN-2023-14 | https://therake.com/stories/it-takes-a-pair-to-frame-a-tango/ | 2023-03-29T00:29:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-14/segments/1679296948900.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20230328232645-20230329022645-00370.warc.gz | en | 0.943643 | 1,068 |

A Skitch In Time
That Dogtown stuff is all well and good, but skitch Hitchcock and friends know that OC’s own Salt Creek Beach crew has left its own mark on the skateboarding world
Skateboarders and surfers are a circle-jerking bunch.
Always talking about who did what first, who was the first to that, who was the first to be photographed doing this, doing that.
There was the 30-foot rogue wave, set off by some earthquake in Alaska that Skitch Hitchcock survived only by not actually catching the wave.
“I got scared. And I held onto the board, and I dug my feet into the wave like this,” he says, demonstrating some 40 years later in his Laguna Niguel living room. “I’m doing everything I can to not catch the wave. But I if caught it and stood up, I would have been a hero for 50 years.”
Or there was the time a cop chased him down the then-restricted Salt Creek Beach. Skitch faked remorse, then took off darting toward the ocean, struggling to pull on his wetsuit as he ran. The cop pulled out his gun and waited for three hours.
“And then he went back to eating donuts,” Skitch says, giggling.
Skitch, 57, is sitting around his living room with his brother, Garrison Hitchcock, 54, and best friend Dale Smith, 57. The house belongs to Skitch’s former sister-in-law, who has an obvious penchant for the ocean. A carved wooden sea turtle stands two feet away, bolstering an aquarium of tiny silver fish. The bathroom in the hallway has a grass skirt as a shower curtain and starfish and sand suspended in the resin toilet seat.
The trio brag and share accounts, sounding not too different from circles of old fishermen recalling that one trout they reeled in that was this-fucking-big.
Smith, Garrison and Skitch belong to an elite group of surfer/skaters who claimed Salt Creek as theirs in the 1970s. They’re just one slice of an immensely talented crew who went on to make names for themselves in the burgeoning sport of professional skateboarding, skating for the Hobie team. Skitch pushed standards to experimental levels and blazed at the forefront of the sport with tricks, ramps, trucks and boards, while Smith was the first to set skate routines to music and was the brains behind modern safety equipment as we know it, allowing for greater confidence and bigger, better tricks. Garrison had the first skate car and was among the first Signal Hill competitors—focusing on getting downhill and downhill fast.
There’s just one problem: Most people haven’t heard of a Skitch or Garrison Hitchcock, a Dale Smith, a Mike Weed, a Bob Jarvis, or many of the other bigger names hailing from Salt Creek despite their obvious accomplishments.
Instead, 1970s cutting-edge skateboarding, in the popular consciousness, belongs not to Salt Creek but to Santa Monica—Dogtown, and yes, the Z-boys, or the Zephyr skateboard team. While they boast their own impressive archive of achievements, the flamboyant, long-haired bad-boy antics of Tony Alva, Jay Adams, Stacy Peralta, Jim Muir and others are still riding on the wave of ex post facto success thanks to a $400,000-budget 2001 documentary that was subsequently followed by a full-length motion picture—starring Heath Ledger.
But that pervasive documentary left out the No. 1 skateboarding team in the world at the time: Team Hobie.
* * *
Located just between Laguna Beach and Dana Point sits a not-so-publicized stretch of fine sand along Pacific Coast Highway now overshadowed by the five-diamond monstrosity that is the Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel.
“I remember the first time surfing [Salt Creek Beach], 44 years ago,” Skitch Hitchcock says. “The water was so clear, and the bottom looked like it was six inches under your board. There was nothing but garibaldi, lobsters, abalone and stingrays—it was like you were in Marineland. We were kind of spooked to see how much wildlife there was.”
It was a private beach that boasted pristine waves that didn’t welcome just anybody.
“You had to have a pass and live in Monarch Bay or up Crown Valley. We snuck in, and sheriffs and everybody would be chasing us,” Garrison says with a laugh.
Skitch even recalls surfing at the Creek prior to 1968.
“This crusty old goat herder would be there, and he had goats all over the hills,” he reminisces. “He charged a pretty steep entry fee; it was 50 cents a person, so you know, you’d drive down with a carload of four people, and he’d get two bucks. This was back in the early ’60s, when $2 was a 12-pack of beer!”
But the consistency and quality of the waves were the beach’s real attractions.
“Salt Creek has got more power than anything up north until you get to central California. Los Angeles has no waves. This wave [at Salt Creek], it jumps out of very deep, creviced water. In certain spots, the beach is 30 feet deep, so it takes the littlest ripple, and because of our natural valley, the hot air comes down and turns the wind blowing offshore into the face of the wave. A 2-foot day somewhere else will be a 4, 5 or 6 at the Creek,” Skitch says fondly.
A main highlight of the Dogtown and Z-Boys documentary was the direct link the Zephyr team made between surfing and skating, executing the cutbacks of surfer Larry Bertleman on concrete.
Skateboarding was once exclusively seen as something to do when the waves were flat—it was called sidewalk surfing for a reason. Riding styles in the ’60s and ’70s were much smoother, twisting, turning and spinning in a fluid-like motion, almost like ice dancing on a concrete surface. Because of this obvious marriage between the two sports, many argue that a geographic advantage and better waves helped paved the way for South County’s advancements in skateboarding.
“We’d skate when we didn’t surf,” explains Skitch. “Surfing is way better. And these kooks that can surf, skate and do X-Games and stuff? You can tell if they know how to surf or not. A surfer has a distinct style.”
Legendary surfer, San Clemente resident and former skateboarder Herbie Fletcher recalls witnessing the Salt Creek crew skateboarding in the ’70s.
“They’d skate everywhere around Dana Point. And they worked at it. Every sunrise, they’d be down at Salt Creek surfing. And then it’d blow out, and they’d skateboard all day—like all day,” he says and smiles. “Skitch was good. He was one of the guys leading the pack.”
When asked about the Dogtown documentary, Fletcher states, “Dogtown was a cute story. They made a great story. They were not the first ones to ride pools, and it was self-promoting—but so was everybody. They claimed a lot. And just like in surfing, there’s a lot of things going on, but it’s a movement.”
* * *
“I still watch cartoons,” Skitch explains. “I sold my comic-book collection. I had the third-biggest collection in Long Beach. After I sold that, I stopped buying them because they stink. They used to have good artists and themes—like Spider-Man; he has a continuing theme. He lost his girlfriend, she died, and when Peter Parker’s daughter got killed by the Green Goblin and his roommate had a problem with drugs and Spider-Man spun around Manhattan listening to Jethro Tull on his Walkman . . . You gotta belieeeeve, you gotta believe!”
It’s just one tangent of many throughout the afternoon’s conversation. Later, Smith (whom Skitch calls Stumpy—“because he’s stumpy”) and Weekly photographer John Gilhooley would pull out their cell phones and compare lengthy voice mails left by Skitch. (Smith’s won: In it, he spoke of passing off bits of poop as doughnut holes that were blue and pink and purple with sprinkles and everything.)
Even at 57, Skitch’s jokester reputation precedes him. Stories of his fondness for farting on the faces of sleeping friends permeate the Internet—right next to a list of his amazing feats. His friends’ faces light up as they speak of him with clear admiration, in a tone slightly reminiscent of a proud set of parents.
Skitch still has a head of long, flowing hair (now salt-and-peppered) past his shoulders, with a straight fringe cut across his forehead, which recalls a Ramone or two. He wears a brown T-shirt emblazoned with the image of skater Denis Shufelt (a.k.a. “Shuffy”), crouched down on his board, with one hand outstretched to the ground. Reader’s Digest once compared Skitch to Mick Jagger in his youth. Actually, Skitch sort of resembles present-day Roky Erickson, with his wide-set eyes, friendly face, protruding belly and—most important—a steadfast refusal to grow up.
“Skitch has always been a trip,” Garrison comments. “I call him Peter Pan, 180 IQ, genius. He can recite the Bible. He can design anything; he can innovate anything. He can draw and sketch and do blueprints.”
Skitch was born and raised in Long Beach, surfing 72nd Street with Smith when Long Beach was still surfable in the ’60s, prior to the expansion of the sea wall that stopped swells from entering. And as soon as one of them got a car—a Falcon Smith’s mechanic father had tuned up, for $25—the friends were off to Seal Beach, Huntington Beach, Dana Point and Newport Beach. Four-thirty morning sessions with Smith weren’t an uncommon thing. “Sometimes, we made it to school,” jokes Skitch.
And whenever they weren’t surfing, the pair skated wherever they could, finding natural skate parks in the cityscape, much like the Z-Boys did with school grounds.
“We used to skate this place called Argon Alley in Long Beach. My house was the first house that started this alley, and it was on this real steep hill,” Skitch explains in his sing-song voice. “The driveways all came down into this cement alley, and we’d drop in like that. It would bowl out because of the gradation of the thing. It had about six different waves, six different banks. It was a surfing-style skate park.”
Throughout their careers, Skitch would treat younger brother Garrison as a guinea pig of sorts for his experiments.
“Gary was Skitch’s test pilot,” Smith says with a smile. “Gary was a fearless warrior for Skitch in his pursuit to design and make stuff that nobody else was making. It really was like a space-travel kind of deal. ‘How big of a hill do you want me to go down? How big of a wave do you want to surf? What do you want me to do? I’m ready to do it. Hey, you want to put me in this car and push me down a hill? Sure!’ That’s Gary.”
A 3-year-old Garrison was pushed by Skitch down the same Long Beach hill in an orange-crate scooter with a handle. Old Chicago roller skates split with a key provided the motion.
“He got me inside, like this thing was going backward on St. Joseph between Fifth and Broadway, and he went,” an aloha shirt-clad Garrison pantomimes with his legs pumping, and then a push. “Skitch is rolling around laughing, and I had no control. I hit a parked car at about 25 mph. Wood went crashing everywhere.”
Skitch laughs with glee and nods in approval. “My brother’s eaten some really bad crap because I push him into some bad situations. But usually, we get away with it and laugh about it.” He pauses. “I am two-and-three-quarter years older, so his life started with me climbing into his crib and beating him up daily.”
Garrison scoffs and reminds his older brother of the time he finally knocked him out when he was 18. “He looked for me for three days.”
Skitch was an accomplished Olympic-level gymnast from junior high through high school. The regimented training was apparent in his skateboard and surfing style, from the strong upper body right down to his pointed toes during handstands executed while rolling on his skateboard. (And later, he would even do handstands on his surfboard. Pro surfer Christian Fletcher [son of Herbie], vividly recalls seeing Skitch perform such a feat at 38 years old. “He used to do handstands while surfing in front of three people at a time and riding all the way down the whole damn beach. Skitch did things you never dreamed of doing,” Fletcher says.)
“I was going to go to the Olympics! I was going to be a star! And get a gold medal! And then I got into acid, and it allllllll melted away.” Skitch dreamily sighs. “I was state champ. You know what? If it’s a choice between ‘eat acid and not going to school and surfing’ and ‘going to school and having your coach of eight years beat the hell out of you for five hours,’ I’d rather do the LSD and go surfing.”
Skitch shares that he used to eat acid like they were M&Ms, stating that the drugs assisted in his creativity in surfing and skateboarding, though one night he was so busy with the cavern of vortexes on his bedroom ceiling he missed the last time the Doors would play in Long Beach. And then there was the 20th-birthday party that involved two 5-gallon containers of strawberry Baskin-Robbins ice cream and a six-bottle case of Strawberry Hill wine with 40 hits of acid in each bottle.
“I sold acid from 15 years old, and because I had the best source of acid, I always had a good clientele,” he explains.
That best source of acid really was the best source of acid: Timothy Leary himself, who then owned a large mansion in Laguna Beach, though Skitch insists he wasn’t privy to the inner workings of the Brotherhood—something he insists that would probably get him killed even today (see Nick Schou’s “Lords of Acid,” July 8, 2005).
Skitch skated for Hobie from 1975 through the end of the skate company in late 1979. During that time, he was constantly innovating the sport, with unheard-of prototypes and tricks. He designed and skated on the first kicker ramp, that same little launch ramp you see all the kids in your neighborhood taking off on today. It’s the reason why he became the first world champion of skateboarding at the 1975 World Contest.
“I placed above everybody by about two points. It’s because I initiated my aerial with a ramp for the first time. Everyone had seen me get air, but no one had seen me get, like, 6 feet of air. I needed a ramp to assist me to get higher,” he explains. “It was the first time it was used in a competition. I’d have nothing but hassles using my ramp—and now all of skateboarding is ramps.”
Smith and Garrison are quick to list Skitch’s many accomplishments. “All the boards he was making at the time were innovative on a spectrum of the highest-quality ideas. He made his boards lighter and stronger so he could be the first to do an aerial maneuver. He’d just grab the board with his toes in a gorilla grip and lift off the ground and glide,” Smith explains.
Skitch takes this moment to mock the bunny hops Z-Boy Jay Adams did at the 1975 Del Mar Nationals, crouching to the ground, pulling his bent knees to his chest and jumping ever so slightly off the ground. He cracks up. “You just do it over and over again. Boink-boink-boink-boink. It looks stupid, and it was stupid. It wasn’t anything you do on a wave, and you’d look stupid doing it on a wave if you could. It has no function whatsoever, and it was their biggest move. I was doing aerials at the time, in ’74, ’75. He was getting 4 to 5 inches, and I was getting 4 to 5 feet.”
Mike Weed, now 50 and a Maui resident, was another local hero of Salt Creek; he learned to skateboard at age 6 on a Makaha board from his father. Weed was also a star skateboarder for Hobie, winning the 1978 World Championship.
“Skateboarding went from absolutely nothing in ’72—nobody had done a kickturn, nothing. Like the wheel hadn’t been invented yet! And in way less than a decade, they were doing 3-foot airs and Skitch was doing the gorilla grip, getting air and 30 360s and kickflips,” Weed remarks. “When I first skated in ’74, nobody would think you could just do a kickflip—what was that? How’d you come up with that? That era invited all that stuff.”
Weed recalls watching Dogtown for the first time.
“The film was definitely well-done. But they left out the fact that there were tons of great skaters in Southern California. [Hobie was] basically their rival. I went to so many sessions where I was a rival with Tony Alva. I’m not going to say I was better, but I definitely held my own. I could run circles around him on freestyle,” says Weed. “He wasn’t a freestyler; he wasn’t even invited. [Dogtown] couldn’t do demos. People now say freestyle wasn’t cool, but freestyle is basically what street was back then. Nobody was all up on curbs, but it was tricks! Tricks were the future of skateboarding, and we were the ones to bring the tricks to vert. I was in the first eight contests on vert, whereas you didn’t see Jay Adams. He never showed up. Tony Alva came to one contest. Stacy never came. And the reason they didn’t come was because they were going to get blown away.”
Skitch does admit the documentary did amazing things for the sport of skateboarding. “It got the bills paid and allowed us to skateboard,” he says. “If people are interested in it and it all comes under the heading of skateboarding, then it benefited an entire industry.”
* * *
In 1975, Skitch built out of fiberglass the first wave ramp with a compound curve—what he claims to be the first vertical ramp. He made boards with a foam core, designing boards to flex in a certain way to help his style. He would practice handstands on self-made and self-designed fiberglass hand skateboards—complete with thumb brakes. He designed a live axle and even the world’s first closed skate car for Garrison, something that everyone from car designers to aerospace engineers would soon emulate.
“Skitch was the mad professor of skateboarding. He was designing and coming up with the future of skateboarding,” Smith boasts.
Skitch was even the first to skate a full loop in 1977, like a toy car speeding on a Hot Wheels track, which he pulled off during a touring show called Skateboard Mania, as the stuntman stand-in for Tony Jetton. The show’s plot involved aliens coming to Earth to show the earthlings how to skate. The 22-foot loop would be daunting even today—and an accomplishment Tony Hawk and Bob Burnquist only recently achieved.
Skitch toured the world doing demos for Hobie, who in turn took care of their skaters. While the Z-Boys famously rode on the roofs of cars looking for pools, he remembers Hobie renting a $200-per-afternoon Cessna during the 1976 California drought. Skitch—along with Weed, Bob Jarvis and Tim Carew—could search for empty Inland Empire pools to skate in, taking a Marshall Guide up in the air and marking Xs as they went. Skitch came home only to enter contests, design skate parks in Riverside and Argentina in 1979, and, eventually, plaster houses in 1984. Old skateboard injuries (he had broken his hands alone 12 times) began to take a toll, leaving him in constant pain.
“I caused my own demise. It’s nothing that I can blame on anyone else. I’ve been in pain since I was 28, the kind of pain where you wish you wouldn’t live anymore,” Skitch says. “It’s serious every day, every minute of the day, every second of the minute excruciating pain. And the only way I knew how to get out of it was to drink. So I did that pretty well—well enough to ruin my health.”
A disastrous marriage that resulted in two children, now 21 and 16, who weren’t biologically his caused Skitch to gravitate even more to the bottle.
“I’m in end-phase liver disease. I was supposed to be dead a year and a half ago,” Skitch says now. He shows off his different daily medications: soma, Xanax, methadone, liquid potassium, lactulose, the latter of which he downs, resulting in teary eyes.
“I knew Skitch was going to make it,” Smith explains with a faint smile, “when I went to the bathroom in his hospital room, and Skitch got up and put a chair in front of the door so I couldn’t get out. That’s when I knew.”
Smith promised a bedridden Skitch he’d make a skateboard model for him if he survived. Royalties and proceeds from the model now go toward Skitch’s medical expenses.

Of course, the history of skateboarding, like all mostly oral histories, differs from storyteller to storyteller, from decade to decade and generation to generation, morphing its focus to vertical in the ’80s and then to street skating soon after.
In December, Huntington Beach-based Quiksilver hosted an All ’80s All Day Vert Challenge, inviting the biggest names in the industry—from Christian Hosoi and Tony Hawk to Steve Caballero and Andy Macdonald—to perform all the ’80s tricks on ’80s boards.
“If you listen in on conversations today, it’s going to be all about, like, who did what when and nostalgia,” says Macdonald, one of the biggest vert skateboarders of today—and a fan of Smith Safety Gear. “The only written history are the magazines, but even then, it was like so-and-so was at the park when this guy started doing it, then the next day, a different guy shot the photo and this guy named it!”
Macdonald believes things have definitely changed, even from the ’80s to now: “For the first time in skateboarding history, we have fans of skateboarding that aren’t necessarily skateboarders. They’re people who know the pros, play the video games, but haven’t actually stepped on a board in their lives—and love skateboarding.”
When asked, Hawk, in a half-shaven ’80s cut and a neon shirt, takes note of Orange County’s role in skateboard history.
“Orange County was especially important in the formative years of skateboarding because so many of the companies and the pioneers were from around here. Some of the first backyard vert ramps I went to were up here. There were definitely some skate parks in the ’70s, but I didn’t manage to get here because my dad wouldn’t drive me that far,” he says and laughs. “There were ramps and scenes here that were very progressive, and most of the skate industry is based ?here now.”
Hosoi, a current Huntington Beach resident, says, “There was a big part coming from Orange County. I was here in Orange County—Big O Skatepark, you know. Everyone has a big influence, but there are roots that come from somewhere. The reason why skating is, is because of surfing.”
Skateboarding’s resident punk and current U.S. Bombs singer Duane Peters was briefly coached by Smith and raised in Costa Mesa. He remembers firsthand OC’s lack of recognition while growing up in the ’70s.
“[Orange County] really got no love. It was always the Badlanders, the South Bay guys, Redondo, and then you had Dogtown. Orange County was always just kind of in between; we never really got a lot of love from the magazines,” a near-toothless, tattooed Peters grunts. “Whenever you said someone was from Orange County, it kind of just went in one ear and out the other. And now, half the industry is in Costa Mesa—that’s amazing. There were a lot of skaters from here, but everybody peeled off as it got gnarlier and gnarlier in the early pool-pioneering days. It was all about just staying in there. And then Orange County got put on the map. We had a time where it was like, ‘Where was ours?’ It was like fighting for territory.”
One thing was for sure: The day wasn’t really about the contest, or whether or not Hosoi would be still able to pull off his signature move in Spandex and a long wig. The day was a celebration of skateboarding and where it was today.
“There’s just a handful of us who have stuck with it for so long,” says Eddie Reategui, former Long Beach resident, pro skater and current owner of Daggers Skates, as he scans the room filled with his colleagues, peers and heroes. “We gave our lives. And it’s just great to see where we’re at now.”
* * *
Over the telephone, Skitch says he’s doing well now, living long past what was predicted by his doctors not too long ago. “It’s pretty serious, but I don’t take it that seriously. I’m still surfing and skating and having fun.”
He mentions that his turning point in life was finding God and speaks highly of his kids.
Skitch, along with Garrison and with the help of Smith, has a new project: producing even more equipment under the Hitchcock name. He hopes to land an investor soon. He says that Vans will add him to the skateboarding hall of fame next month.
Skitch proudly displays his new dual-dragons deck design. Japanese script along the bottom reads, “A coward dies many lives, a courageous man only once.”
“That’s the way it is,” Skitch says matter-of-factly. “No balls, no blue chips.” | <urn:uuid:148318af-bf95-487a-9681-a900013abd43> | CC-MAIN-2015-40 | http://www.ocweekly.com/2009-01-15/news/skitch-hitchcock-salt-creek-beach-crew-skateboarding/full | 2015-10-07T20:13:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-40/segments/1443737882743.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20151001221802-00178-ip-10-137-6-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.978042 | 6,125 |
Question by armyftcky1981: How much should I spend on a Valentine’s gift? “Serious answers only”?
I am already taking the effort to send a gift to Sweden so I want to go all the way and I am just wondering how much should I spend for a decent gift without taking it too far or looking too desperate. We went out a couple of times before she left the country to do a semester in Sweden. Do not say a postcard I mean I know that it is not about the money and all that but money is not the issue I am a 27 old guy with a great job and no debts a decent gift would not leave me homeless. Please make sure you mention an amount of money (e.i 30-100 dlls) Thanks.
PS Please if you are a Anti-Valentine person do not try to make fun of my question just ignore it and look for another question that you can find interesting.
Answer by happygirl
That is so sweet! I would say $ 50 – $ 75 dollars would be about the maximum without seeming desperate.
She is very lucky to have such a thoughtful guy looking to please her this Valentines Day!

KUALA LUMPUR (June 1): Malayan United Industries Bhd (MUI) clarified today that its 98.21%-owned subsidiary Metrojaya Bhd continues to operate its retailing business as usual through various subsidiaries including MJ Department Stores Sdn Bhd’s outlets and EIC Clothing Sdn Bhd’s East India Company specialty store.
MUI said in a Bursa Malaysia filing dated May 31 that the diversified group understood that there had been some confusion over the news of the winding-up of Metrojaya Department Stores Sdn Bhd (MDS) and East India Company Clothing (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd (EIC), which are dormant subsidiaries of Metrojaya Bhd.
“The company (MUI) wishes to advise that Metrojaya Bhd continues to operate its retailing business as usual through various subsidiaries including its Metrojaya department stores under MJ Department Stores and its East India Company specialty store under EIC Clothing. These are separate entities from MDS and EIC.
“This announcement is made to clarify the company’s announcement to Bursa on 29 May 2020 regarding the above matter (MDS and EIC winding-up). As stated in the announcement of 29 May 2020, MDS and EIC are dormant companies and that the winding-up is to simplify the structure of the MUI Group, reduce costs associated with maintaining them and has no financial or operational effect on the MUI Group,” MUI said in yesterday’s filling, which seems to have only appeared on Bursa’s website today.
Last Friday, MUI said MDS and EIC, which are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Metrojaya Bhd, at their respective extraordinary general meetings last Wednesday obtained approval from the sole shareholder to commence members’ voluntary winding-up.
MUI said the winding-up of the subsidiaries is part of MUI’s continuing rationalisation effort to simplify the structure of the group.
“In addition, the winding-up will enable the MUI Group to save future costs associated with maintaining these subsidiaries. The winding-up will not have any material financial or operational effect on the MUI Group for the current financial year ending 30 June 2020.
“Mr Chong Mun Yew has been appointed as the liquidator for the above winding-up,” MUI said.
MUI said MDS and EIC were incorporated on April 5, 1993 and Feb 15, 1995 respectively.
According to MUI’s website, the group’s core businesses comprise retailing, hotels, food and confectionery besides financial services and property development.
At Bursa today, MUI shares traded unchanged at 15.5 sen at 11.36am for a market capitalisation of about RM454 million. The stock saw 1.84 million shares traded. | <urn:uuid:62d6ae74-63ef-428d-aba5-24eee9cf743e> | CC-MAIN-2021-04 | https://www.muiglobal.com/mui-clarifies-metrojaya-bhd-continues-operating-as-usual/ | 2021-01-27T00:23:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-04/segments/1610704804187.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20210126233034-20210127023034-00159.warc.gz | en | 0.952796 | 600 |

Having a bit of time to work on improvements is most welcome
It was nice to get some time away last week. I headed to New York for the few days, to relax and unwind ahead of another busy schedule for Connacht Rugby.
It's great to have this weekend off too - you need to take the time to look after yourself and chill out for a few days and then get back into the thick of things with some good solid training when you return.
We were back in on Monday and we were able to assess what has and what hasn't been working for us. This week gave us a good opportunity to study aspects of our game that we mightn't be able to look at leading into a match. We looked to make a few improvements to our game plan as well.
Rugby is a squad game and we are depending on a squad to perform and compete at the highest level. But over the last while we have been unfortunate to be losing more players to injury and it can be tough when you only have 12 forwards doing a forwards session - you can't get through everything you would like to.
The break came at the right time for us, and hopefully over the next couple of weeks we will see a few lads returning from injury. We need to add that depth and competition back into the squad. The break is great mentally but it also gives guys the chance to get back training.
In terms of the guys who are away with the national set-up, it was fantastic to see them doing so well at the Aviva Stadium last weekend, with four tries scored by Connacht players and Ultan Dillane getting man of the match.
It's brilliant to see them represent Connacht and their families at a higher level, especially with the performances so good. We keep seeing more and more lads from Connacht producing it on the day for Ireland and we take so much pride in that.
I know Tiernan O'Halloran felt he had a lot to prove in an Ireland jersey after getting his chance during the summer. And to get two tries last weekend, well he can't do much more really.
Ultan obviously did exceptionally well to turn in that performance. We all know the massive potential that he possesses and I think he will have a huge say in the Irish team going forward.
Kieran Marmion and Finlay Bealham were great too and the goal for us is to get more and more guys involved in the national set-up. From that point of view, it was fantastic to see Niyi Adeolokun go out and win his first cap.
It was well-deserved. It was only a few years ago when he was playing club rugby with Trinity and three seasons later he is playing international rugby. A lot of that is down to his character. He is very determined and the reason he got to wear an Ireland jersey is because of all of the hard work he has put in.
He has taken every opportunity that has come his way. When he first walked into the Sportsground, a skinny, smiley young fella, to play an 'A' game, you were looking at him funny. But then to see him playing for Ireland - I am delighted for him. He's a great guy and he's really well respected in the squad.
It's back to another big time for Irish rugby this weekend, and they welcome the All Blacks to the Aviva Stadium in what has become a huge match for both sides.
Being honest, I was surprised that Ireland actually beat New Zealand at Soldier Field two weeks ago. Joe Schmidt's game plan was exceptional and they attacked the weaknesses of New Zealand.
The tactic to use the high ball to take the tempo out of the game, was inspired, and Ireland forced New Zealand into silly errors. They gave away a lot of penalties and it's rare that you see the reigning world champions losing their discipline time and again like they did that day.
I worry for Ireland this weekend. New Zealand won't play like that twice, and they certainly won't give away as many penalties on this occasion.
I certainly wouldn't write Ireland off. They have got massive confidence from their first ever victory over the All Blacks, after 111 years. But it is going to be a tough day and they will need another stunning display to stand a chance.
Saying all that, in the last couple of years Irish rugby has really been on a crest of a wave and has grown exponentially in that time. There is a lot of goodwill out there, and the support base has grown rapidly as the teams have become more successful.
And so many people have jumped on in support - people first become fans of Irish rugby, and then that support trickles down into the provincial and club game. That's good for rugby in Ireland, because we need people like myself, who don't really come from rugby backgrounds, to get into the game.
More and more kids will grow up thinking they want to play sport and be a part of the great journey that Irish rugby is on at the minute.
We have got our traditional games in this country, and they take up a lot of youngsters entering sport for the first time. Rugby is sharing a small pool with a lot of other sports so it's important that they get people in.
With Ireland beating the undisputed best team in the world, it's a fantastic method of raising the hype around the team and around the sport.
But hopefully on the back of all of that, the team can turn it on again this weekend, and it would be a seismic victory if they could pull it off against New Zealand for the second time in a row. | <urn:uuid:d634e79a-e259-4995-9d89-c3203f15a0b6> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://www.independent.ie/sport/rugby/connacht-rugby/having-a-bit-of-time-to-work-on-improvements-is-most-welcome-35224091.html | 2017-10-19T10:00:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187823260.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20171019084246-20171019104246-00308.warc.gz | en | 0.987545 | 1,166 |
About the bill
Should the federal government be able to interfere with state-level legal marijuana? Attorney General Jeff Sessions says yes, but this bipartisan bill could stop him.
When Colorado and Washington first legalized marijuana in 2012, the drug remained illegal on a federal level, as it still does today. So, should the federal government go after states which legalized the drug, or not? Under the Obama Administration, the Department of Justice decided in 2013 to have state-level U.S. attorneys largely refrain from prosecution.
Today, eight states plus the District of ...

As mentioned in this previous post about Saint Paul Parks, the city is home to a brand new water park! The new Jimmy Lee Recreation Center & Great River Water Park will have its grand opening this Saturday on May 31, 2008. The center and water park will strive to serve Saint Paul residents while also welcoming visitors from surrounding cities.
Located in the historic Rondo neighborhood and reconstructed from the Oxford/ Jimmy Lee Recreation Center built in the 1960’s, this community center is more than a water park. Sure, it has slides and waterfalls. It is also a state of the art recreation and fitness center. It features four gymnasiums, a computer learning center, a dance studio, synthetic outdoor turf field, party and meeting rooms, and a host of other brand new amenities.
Of the new facility, Mayor Coleman said “From its opening, Jimmy Lee is a crown jewel in the city’s world-class parks and recreation system and shows why Saint Paul is the Most Livable City in America.”
The facility is located at the corner of Lexington Parkway North and Interstate 94, across the street from Saint Paul’s Central High School. Grand opening festivities will start at 11 a.m. and continue to 4 p.m. All activities, including a jump castle, outdoor games, and a teen Olympics are free and open to the public. In addition to all the activities indoors, the City’s mobile recreation team will unveil the 30-foot mobile climbing wall for the first time.
Random Fact: The facility has produced a number of national athletic icons including Hall of Fame baseball players Paul Molitor and Dave Winfield, as well as current Minnesota Twin Joe Mauer.

Salesforce.com has launched Salesforce Files Connect, a centralized file-sharing solution that enables business users to browse, search, and share internal and external files from a unified interface. Initially Salesforce Files Connect will natively integrate with Microsoft OneDrive for Business and SharePoint, but the company plans to add connectors for other file platforms, including Google Drive, in the next several months/
The move to incorporate file sharing into CRM is an important one, and has been a long time coming, Holger Mueller, principal analyst at Constellation Research, says. “CRM and document management have been separated systems for the longest time, with documents in most cases just lingering on the hard disks of users. And that certainly is suboptimal in the 21st century, with vital information left in the documents,” he adds.
As Salesforce continues to roll out its Files Connect feature, the tool will also facilitate file sharing across the Salesforce1 platform, allowing users to share external files such as Powerpoint presentations from Microsoft OneDrive or FAQs from SharePoint within the Salesforce Service Cloud. | <urn:uuid:6bb1e32d-396e-4cae-b061-3141c94ee72b> | CC-MAIN-2021-17 | https://www.biia.com/salesforce-com-introduces-salesforce-files-connect | 2021-04-11T23:53:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-17/segments/1618038065903.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20210411233715-20210412023715-00315.warc.gz | en | 0.913811 | 225 |
TITLE: Black Widow #1
AUTHOR: Mark Waid
PENCILLER: Chris Samnee
RELEASED: March 2, 2016
By Rob Siebert
Editor, Fanboy Wonder
Now here’s your case for a larger role for Black Widow in mainstream media, right here. This is about as balls-to-the-wall as it gets.
Natasha Romanoff is a woman of few words in this issue, as she’s somehow become an enemy of S.H.I.E.L.D. It’s a chase that takes our heroine from the dizzying heights of a Helicarrier to the lows of a fist fight on the side of the road. While it’s not clear what exactly she’s done to be exiled (she’s apparently taken something from them), one thing’s for certain: Natasha Romanoff won’t surrender without one hell of a fight.
Mark Waid and Chris Samnee rightfully gained a lot of acclaim for their Daredevil run. But Black Widow is not Daredevil, at least not in this first issue. The entire issue is one big chase scene, as Natasha flees from S.H.I.E.L.D. With only one line of dialogue, our heroine is a woman of few words, letting her actions do the talking. This issue makes a hell of a statement. This is Black Widow, an ass kicker as she was meant to be.
As the issue is relatively low on dialogue, it’s up to Chris Samnee and colorist Matthew Wilson to convey that statement. And damn, do they deliver. I’ve always been high on Samnee’s style, which is an interesting blend of Alex Toth and David Mazzuchelli, with a some Steve Rude thrown in. It works beautifully here. Black Widow looks as iconic as she’s ever looked, in my view. But then our team delivers on some really great moments, including Natasha leaping from an explosion inside the Helicarrier (shown left). I love the shading across her face, and that glint from the flames in her eyes. We then turn the page and get a two-page spread of the Helicarrier in the sky, with Natasha’s relatively tiny frame freefalling beside it.
But the very best is saved for last. After an issue filled with explosions, flying cars, and a nice little moment where BW feigns becoming a damsel in distress, we get to a fight between Natasha and a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent at a muddy cliffside. With much of their tech stripped away from them, it’s simply Natasha and her opponent in the dirt, with a rock as her only weapon. It’s a fantastic sequence, including one page that goes rapid-fire with 14 panels. And it ends on a delightfully somber note.
Waid doesn’t give us much in terms of information, here. Not only is it unclear what Natasha has done, but we’re not given any exposition about who this character is. Granted, I would assume the majority of the readership for this book already know who she is. But typically, one would usually present at least a little exposition here. In this issue we get none. In this case, it doesn’t do the issue any harm. Given the story they told, it’s not like they had time to slow down for an info dump. Plus, considering the quality of this issue, I’d say it was worth it to delay any backstory we might need.
Black Widow is off to one hell of a start. Considering what Waid and Samnee have given us in the recent past, this series is definitely one to watch.

Like most church musicians of his generation, Brumel was employed primarily as a singer, though he latterly became a master of choristers and was also a priest. Possibly from the village of Brunelles near Chartres, he is known to have held positions, from 1483 onwards, at the cathedrals of Chartres, Laon, and Notre-Dame de Paris (1498–1500, when he resigned after an administrative dispute). He also worked in Geneva, at the Savoyard court in Chambéry, and from 1505 at Ferrara in Northern Italy, where he was paid the substantial sum of 100 ducats per annum. After the Ferrarese chapel was disbanded in 1510 he remained in Italy and appears to have resided in Mantua. It is possible that he was present at the coronation of Pope Leo X in 1513, but the account is not contemporaneous and he may already have died by this point.

Throughout The Invention of Air, author Steven Johnson outlines some of the many important revelations during the study of oxygen, most of which was done by Joseph Priestley. Tumultuous and bold, Priestley made many claims about the ever-expanding nature of science and reason (air pumps and electrical machines), and how that could potentially impact the institutions of religion and governments. As Johnson summarizes, “[Priestley’s claims] had too much force not to wipe away the political and theocratic relics that had been carried over from earlier, less sophisticated ages”, which isn’t meant to be conveyed at a threat, but as a fact (Johnson 148). In other words, as time progresses, and science progresses and continues to present more facts about life, those facts will indubitably challenge the institutions that hold power in our societies: religions and governments, which is why these institutions should be fearful.
Regarding if Johnsons’ work is impacting different social and political institutions today, I believe that the answer is for the most part, yes. While saying Johnson’s work alone has been the sole reason for recognizing different social and political consequences of technological and scientific research would be a bit over the top, it is safe to say it is shedding more light on the subject. Climate change research would be an easy example of this, but what comes to mind for me is the impact CRISPR technology will soon have upon the world. Not only would it greatly impact us socially, but determining regulations for how much gene editing can be done and what constitutes as ‘ethical’ will have huge political consequences as well. | <urn:uuid:999a4b8f-c982-44bd-ac53-2b2ab4a12355> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | http://mountainsandminds.org/science-pursuit-of-the-truth/ | 2020-08-06T22:22:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439737039.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20200806210649-20200807000649-00440.warc.gz | en | 0.96849 | 334 |
Grambling gives football stadium new look
GRAMBLING — Walking the new turf at Eddie Robinson Stadium for the first time earlier this month, Grambling State Athletic Director Paul Bryant thought about the Hall of Fame football coach and his mind traveled back to 1983.
The stadium debuted that season and Robinson, the Tigers’ longtime head coach, played an integral role in moving the football team from Grambling Stadium over to The Hole.
“I’m thinking about coach Eddie Rob, I’m thinking about what he would say,” Bryant said. “When he opened this field, he was so elated.”
Since it opened, the 19,600-seat venue hadn’t received a major facelift until work started this past May on $2.4 million projects to lay new artificial turf and a new 48-by-25 football videoboard. Hellas Construction completed the base work and finished rolling out the artificial playing surface. Stitching down of the midfield “G,” the yard-line numbers down each sideline and the letters in the end zone, followed by the addition of the pellets and cooling agent are all that remains for completion.
A partnership with Origin Bank and Coca-Cola made the upgrades possible and the project was funded through Grambling's university foundation.
The screen of the new jumbotron has been erected by Nevco, while the wiring of the video, installation of the sound system plus a ‘G’ at the top of the front and the back cover of the scoreboard that will display a large ‘G’ — both GSU logos illuminated – still have to be put in place at this time.
Padding for the new brick walls that line the field will arrive early this week, marking the final piece of the renovations. Everything is set to be completely done Thursday, according to Bryant, two days ahead of the school’s jamboree.
The G-Men will get their first look and feel of the new turf on Tuesday, less than three weeks before their 2017 home opener versus Northwestern State on Sept. 9, broadcast by ESPN Networks, where the fan experience will be “electrifying.”
“The fan experience is what we want to enhance. That’s the operative word. When you come here to Grambling, we already know we have a championship-caliber team. But we want all of the events be championship caliber,” Bryant said. “We’re going to have a kids’ zone, we’re going to do Kiss Cam on the video screen, which is something that we haven’t had because we haven’t had the screen. There’s going to be so much interaction between the screen and our fans that when they leave, they’re going to be excited to get back to one of our football games.
“I think that Sept. 9 game against Northwestern State, it is going to be electrifying. People are going to want to come and see our championship football team and then we have these upgrades they want to be a part of. I think it’s just going to be one festive environment that we encourage everyone to come out. I mean, everyone. There’s not too many people playing that day, so come on our and support. And it’s going to be on ESPN, so that’s going to encourage the excitement a little bit. I can’t wait to see all the people here and watch how they react because we’re going to let some people come on the field and feel it before the game.”
That same electrifying energy has bolted through the rest of the athletic department as improvements to Grambling’s baseball, softball and soccer fields have been made as well as new tennis courts are on the way, all vital steps to helping GSU become more attractive.
“I think the impact of these upgrades are going to be phenomenal both for us in recruiting not only student-athletes, but students. People want to be a part of a championship-winning program and it helps with our recruiting as a whole,” Bryant said. “It is very critical and vital for us to continue this as we move forward.”
Walking the new turf, standing next to the large ‘G’ on the 50-yard line and looking to the new videoboard brings Bryant back when he was hired by Grambling State president Rick Gallot in January. Two months later, the renovations were just a concept. Now, it’s all sinking in.
The upgrades move GSU and its football and athletic programs forward, but everything taking shape has the athletic director looking back.
“It’s been a long ride, I feel, but in reality, it’s a short ride. We’ve gotten it done and we’re excited because we know our fans are going to appreciate the turf,” Bryant said.
“I think seeing the upgrades and what’s going on, I think (Robinson) would be even more elated. It gives me a good feeling that I know he’s liking what’s going on, but it gives me a better feeling because I know my student-athletes are going to love it and appreciate what’s going on in The Hole.”

Fat! Donkeys are made to be lean. They are desert animals, and for heat exchange, their spines stick up, their ears
are big, and they do not carry a layer of fat.

Trije mladi prijatelji se odpravijo na morje, na nekajdnevni izlet, kot so to počeli že v srednji šoli. Gregor je vojak, ki je prišel na dopust z misije v tujini, Živa je živahno dekle, ki čuti do Gregorja več, kot prizna, Andrej pa je njun najboljši prijatelj, ki z ostrim jezikom napada svet, da bi prikril dejstvo, da je osamljen in nerazumljen. Na prvi pogled sicer navaden izlet postavi na kocko njihovo prijateljstvo, hkrati pa film skozi življenjske dialoge in situacije pove zgodbo o iščoči se generaciji, ki ne najde svojega mesta v razdrobljenem svetu.
Ziva, Andrej and Gregor are best friends since high school. Gregor is a soldier who is about to embark on a mission to Afghanistan and Ziva is going to study abroad. Andrej is their gay friend who hates everything, himself included. They decide to go to a road trip to the seaside like they did when they were in high school. When they arrive, they get drunk and Ziva and Gregor kiss each other, what brings tension to their relationship, while Andrej doesn't know anything and just makes fun of everything, mostly of Gregor and his army ideals. The conflict erupts when Ziva, in a fit of rage, destroys their tent and tells a secret that enrages Andrej. Only then the true problem is revealed - Ziva is not going to study abroad, she was lying because she didn't want to pity her. | <urn:uuid:a5ef1ed3-0199-4c1d-9e0c-4882a6569d05> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | https://spored.tv/filmi/2011/izlet/2128/ | 2021-09-17T18:32:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780055775.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20210917181500-20210917211500-00460.warc.gz | en | 0.681016 | 426 |

ARMIES ARE RISING, PORTALS ARE OPENED BY MASTERPIECE DAVID OLAWADE
“Though we may have the tongue and wisdom of men and of angels, the power lies in the continuous anointing of the spirit”.
The anointing is an asset to a believer, hence the price must be paid to acquire it enough for our spiritual conquest. We must soak and wax stronger in it every time and everywhere.
There is demand on being a believer. We have been discharged and acquainted from darkness then sentenced to a life of the supernatural.
We are not called for an event, we are called for a lifestyle. Tell our generation, we are coming. Dictating the pace of events in this season is what we are called to do. Our order is the order of manifestation.
We are not looking for who we are, we are looking within. There is a portal in our secret place where we log in to ascend into the deep things of the ancient. We are drinking from the well of life and our lives is becoming a living spring others can drink from.
We are not looking for comfort because our lifestyle is a legacy to this generation. We know it won’t be convenient but we would remain consistent in paying the price; in being faithful to the process, perils and demands.
We know the pains at the moment can’t be compared with the gains ahead of us. We are discontented with mundane and mediocrity is an insult to our personality.

Kakuta keen to secure Chelsea exit
The Frenchman, 22, is currently on a season-long loan at Vitesse Arnhem and has played a prominent role in the Dutch side's rise to the top of the Eredivisie table.
Kakuta has notched one goal in 11 league outings and is finally showing some of the promise that persuaded Chelsea to sign him in 2007.
Chelsea incurred a fine and a transfer embargo after they were deemed to have poached the youngster from Lens, but they have repeatedly farmed the playmaker out on a series of underwhelming loans while adding a string of midfielders to their ranks.
And Kakuta admits he is unlikely to make a substantial breakthrough at Stamford Bridge and is keen to advance his career elsewhere.
"I am very grateful for my time at Chelsea," Kakuta told Mercato365. "But like any professional footballer, I want to play regularly in order to give new impetus to my career and evolve to a higher level. I know I am ready for this challenge." | <urn:uuid:52a6626c-5279-4b5b-8b6a-ccb9565e6cdb> | CC-MAIN-2014-41 | http://talksport.com/football/kakuta-keen-secure-chelsea-exit-13121772195 | 2014-09-17T19:35:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-41/segments/1410657124356.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20140914011204-00217-ip-10-196-40-205.us-west-1.compute.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.977305 | 213 |

Hi, wondering if I could get some advice please? I'm only 2.5 weeks into my journey but amazingly my hair is just loving being left alone! I swear intention has something to do with it. However, as it's locking up quickly, I'm facing greater and greater issues with separating. When they first started forming, they were joining together lower down. They were doing this tightly, but there was more room to work with and I got the hang of teasing out individual hairs so as not to damage my hair. Now, it's meshing together tightly from the roots. I spend the whole day (here and there as my arms ache working on just one loc!) separating, go to bed and BAM! The entire back of my hair is all meshed together! I'm not complaining about the amount of work needed at this stage, I'm happy to go with it, it's all part of a bigger journey. My issue is that every day this gets tighter and harder, and I'm getting a panicky feeling when trying to separate as it's getting more and more immovable. I'm worried that I'm heading into not enough time in the day to separate!
When would you start putting beads in? Would this help with keeping them sectioned? I have got two in now.
Tips greatly appreciated.

It was only natural that in 2000, when she discovered the sport of Olympic Weightlifting, she immediately committed herself to the challenge. In 2002 she became the B.C. Provincial and Western Canadian Champion in her weight category, following up with a medal at the 2003 Canadian Weightlifting Championships. Her rapid improvement and success landed her a position on the Canadian National team competing at the 2003 World University Championships in Italy. Her positive attitude and leadership qualities were rewarded with the role of ambassador for women’s weightlifting in the promotion of the 2003 World Weightlifting Championships in Vancouver, BC.
Following the Italy championships, Tanna moved to Winnipeg for a year to train with the Hercules Weightlifting Club and coaches Mirek & Raf Korkowski. Her work ethic, determination and focus mirrored the values of the club and she was a role model to new aspiring weightlifters. With a passion for health and fitness, Tanna shifted her energy to helping others reach their own potential. She became a certified personal trainer, certified post-rehabilitation specialist and also co-founded the Hercules Weightlifting Club in Nanaimo. Her education and experience allowed her the opportunity to develop many individuals and teams – ranging from ‘new to fitness’ to ‘elite’ professional athletes.
Tanna is currently an active athlete and coach with the Hercules Weightlifting Club in Nanaimo. She has recently broken provincial and national masters records and continues to inspire our membership with her skill and dedication. Tanna shows that anything is possible, by balancing her love for fitness with her pursuit of a bachelor degree in nursing, while sharing it all with her 2 young girls. She is always willing to learn and happy to teach, making her a huge asset to our team. | <urn:uuid:371c8682-26e3-40fc-a717-4d73c42a2db1> | CC-MAIN-2021-25 | https://herculesweightlifting.com/about/tanna-payne/ | 2021-06-14T20:43:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-25/segments/1623487613453.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20210614201339-20210614231339-00555.warc.gz | en | 0.972546 | 395 |
AN internationally renowned architect spoke to the Galloway Gazette this week about his masterplan to save his home town of Newton Stewart.
Graham Henderson, son of former businessman Keith and his wife Margaret, has been at the forefront of designing four international airports and is the brains behind ‘The ‘Ome’, luxury self-contained floating island homes that are the latest must have acquisition for the well-heeled in Dubai.
But walking up Victoria Street this week ago all Graham could think was “what a disappointment”. Back at his parents’ riverside hone he grabbed pen and paper and sketched out a vision for the future that he is confident could turn the town into a tourist mecca, that he opinions will be so attractive, it will get significant backing from international financiers.
The masterplan will see the main street facing the Cree with a one-way system in Victoria Street with a mini-roundabout at the clock tower and Riverside Road widened by one lane with fly fishing berths created and protected by a stone-clad quay wall as part of his idea of a flood prevention scheme.
Victoria Street will be turned into a tree lined thoroughfare with non-linear parking bays and Graham plans to have a covered walkway with a row of bespoke craft shops in Victora Lane based on the famous Vittoria Milan in Italy.
Across the river, he has a stunning plan for the power supply to his parents home that will come off grid and use a personal hydro scheme powered by the river Cree. Contrary to advise given to Dumfries and Galloway Council about what was flooding on the town the removal of the island south of the Creebridge is paramount if you want to end the flooding risk to the town.
He points to fact that under the Flood Management Scotland 2009 Act the council have a duty to maintain man-made or natural obstructions in case risk of flooding. Graham is busy drawing detailed pans of his vision and plans to return to the town to talk to community leaders to get them on board with these ground breaking plans.
Graham is horrified that the prime geographical location of Newton Stewart, equidistant between the current local authority power towns of Stranraer and Dumfries should made it top of the priority list. Funding sold be centred on the town and not on towns on the periphery of the region, ha claims.
He wants to create a bank called ‘The Common Wealth and Development Bank of Scotland’ that will return profits to the customers not the shareholders.
The centrepiece for this unique vision of 21st Century newton Stewart will be a titanium covered robotic salmon with CCTV in its eyeballs that will patrol the Cree and become such an unique feature it will draw tourist from all over the world. And if you think that is in the realms of fantasy or like a scene out of Bladerunner, theee robo-fish are already in operation commercially to inspect oil rigs and underwater pipes.
Mid Galloway councillor Graham Nicol attended a presentation that Mr Henderson gave at The Galloway Gazette. He commented that it was an interesting concept but that some of these ideas had already been suggested and funding for a project of this magnitude “would be difficult in the present financial climate”.

A newly published global study of white clover, Trifolium repens, shows how the plant has repeatedly adapted to environmental changes in 160 cities around the world. The study was published March 17 in Science.
White clover is considered an ideal evolutionary organism to study: it is one of the most rapidly evolving species of flora and one of the most widespread. The plant adapts well in both rural and urban environments throughout the world, from Norway to Mexico to India. Often used as a cover crop, it a good source of nitrogen and a good nectar source for bees, but it is considered invasive when it pops up in urban lawns.
The study was carried out by the Global Urban Evolution (GLUE) Project team led by evolutionary ecologist Marc Johnson, a professor of biology and director of the Centre for Urban Environments at the University of Toronto, Mississauga. The 287-member team included Emily Meineke, assistant professor of urban landscape entomology at the UC Davis Department of Entomology and Nematology, and Joanna Griffiths, postdoctoral scholar in the UC Davis Department of Environmental Toxicology. It is the largest scale study of parallel evolution and urban adaptation ever performed, Johnson said.
Cyanide a defensive toxin
Team members performed assays to determine the plant's production of a defensive toxin, hydrogen cyanide (HCN). Johnson’s group has previously shown that white clover in urban environments in North America evolves to produce less HCN than in rural areas. The study reproduced this finding worldwide. Sampling 110,019 plants in 160 cities, the team found that the ability to HCN was affected by both climate and urbanization. White clover is less likely to produce HCN in colder environments but more likely to do so in rural areas, the research shows.
“Our results demonstrate that urbanization leads to adaptation at a global scale,” the team wrote.
Both Meineke and Griffiths worked on the project when they were doctoral students: Meineke at North Caroline State University (NCSU), Raleigh, and Griffiths at Louisiana State University (LSU), Baton Rouge.
“Increasingly, it is clear that we are living in a time when humans are the dominant drivers of biotic change globally,” said Meineke, who joined the faculty at UC Davis in 2020. “Somehow, we still don't understand how we are affecting the species we see every day, in part because biologists have only recently become aware of our complex effects on species that live in our own habitats.”
Urbanization is a global phenomenon, in which thousands of cities cover up to three percent of Earth's land surface, according to the GLUE Project website. Half of the world's population lives in urban environments, but by 2050, that figure is expected to jump to 70 percent.
The project was supported by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC). | <urn:uuid:8e9780ea-ff64-4e6e-80d1-048ead18f76e> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://climatechange.ucdavis.edu/blog/global-study-white-clover-shows-urbanization-driving-evolution | 2023-10-01T12:18:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510888.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20231001105617-20231001135617-00349.warc.gz | en | 0.950965 | 607 |

In the meantime, cream together the cream cheese and confectioners sugar for 1-2 minutes. Make sure that your cream cheese is at room temperature, otherwise your dip could have cream cheese lumps.
Slowly pour in the butter/sugar mixture. Beat on medium-high until the mixture is combined and not separated (it may take up to 5 minutes). Stir in the chocolate chips.
Serve with graham crackers, vanilla wafers, strawberries, or anything else that sounds good (we’ve got a pretty comprehensive list below).

🔼The name Shur: Summary
- Wall, Bull
- From the verb שור (shur), to be raised.
🔼The name Shur in the Bible
Shur is a city or perhaps a group of forts in Palestine, just east of Egypt (1 Samuel 15:7). Apparently, it was situated in the middle of a barren, arid wilderness, which makes one wonder what folks were doing there in such numbers that they required a settlement. After crossing the Sea of Reeds, Israel spent three days in the wilderness of Shur without finding any water (Exodus 15:22).
But Shur's true claim to fame is that when Hagar fled the company of Sarah, the Angel of YHWH found her by a spring aptly named Beer-lahai-roi, in the wilderness on her way to Shur (Genesis 16:7). The Angel told Hagar to return to Sarah, and that the child in her womb would be named Ishmael and have more descendants than anyone could count.
🔼Etymology of the name Shur
The name Shur comes from the verb שור (shur), meaning to be raised:
The verb שור (shur) means to excite or be raised. Noun שור (shor) means ox or bull. Noun שור (shur) describes a wall and שורר (shorer) a man on it: a watcher. Noun שורה (shura), denotes a row of vines or olives. Noun תשורה (teshura) means gift.
BDB Theological Dictionary doesn't translate our name, but notes that its spelling and pronunciation is identical to the noun meaning wall, and adds: "[Shur is] often supposed to denote properly the 'wall' or line of fortresses, built by Egyptian kings across isthmus of Suez; but dubious". One should realize that BDB rarely finds something not dubious, and this supposition would explain why people built something in the middle of nowhere, which was attractive enough for someone like Hagar to flee to.
For a meaning of the name Shur, NOBSE Study Bible Name List reads a paraphrastic Fortification. Jones' Dictionary of Old Testament Proper Names, ditto, reads A Fort. | <urn:uuid:0ed389bc-05ee-492c-87de-cdbe4d4699a1> | CC-MAIN-2020-16 | https://www.abarim-publications.com/Meaning/Shur.html | 2020-04-07T10:48:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-16/segments/1585371700247.99/warc/CC-MAIN-20200407085717-20200407120217-00384.warc.gz | en | 0.927325 | 503 |

A Reddit user in rural Tennessee, known here by his username of Evilenglish, made a discovery that most of us only dream about. While cleaning his grandparents” house (where, ironically, he spent many a childhood day having Treasure Island read to him), he uncovered a safe buried in the floor of a closet.
The challenge was to get it open. Evilenglish tried a few possible combinations, such as birthdays and social security numbers, but none worked. He eventually hunted down a locksmith who could help.
The closet. Not the first place you”d look if you were thinking “buried treasure.”
Inside the closet was similarly unassuming. The rug was dirty, and it was this dirty rug that actually set the events in motion.
Under the rug, though, was a strange, round cap.
Below the cap was the opening of a safe that was seemingly forgotten. The combination was lost to the ages, and so the next task became figuring out how to open it.
Tim, the locksmith, came to the rescue after many failed attempts at unlocking the safe. Though the closet was cramped, Tim worked diligently.
The lock was finally removed, and the safe could be opened.
What appeared to be a pile of bricks turned out to be boxes.
The safe was full of boxes and rolls of coins.
They began unloading the safe, pulling out more and more coins and bills.
Despite its small opening, the safe held quite a bit.
Unfortunately, a lot of the money inside the safe suffered from water damage due to a pipe breaking in the house some years prior.
The moisture in the safe damaged the covers, but the coins inside were protected.
Under the money collection was a rusty tool chest full of watches and jewelry.
When Evilenglish shared his story on Reddit, fellow users offered helpful advice. Some even gave him a cursory appraisal of the find, which may be valued at over a thousand dollars.
As if that weren”t enough, Evilenglish and his brother later found another safe hidden inside a coffee table. Inside were a number of pistols and a collection of one dollar bills known as “Barr notes,” rare due to the fact that the Secretary of State, Joseph W. Barr, held the position for only 29 days.
The exploration of this find is still underway, and Evilenglish promises the Internet that he”ll share more photos of the items inside once they”re cleaned up. We”re certainly pretty excited! After all, this is the closest we”ve ever gotten to uncovering buried treasure. | <urn:uuid:a7582cb3-c14a-4713-968c-a6441fbd67f4> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://krazywolf.com/this-amazing-discovery-in-a-farmhouse-is-not-what-anyone-expected/ | 2017-11-18T15:53:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934804976.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20171118151819-20171118171819-00589.warc.gz | en | 0.97849 | 542 |
Back in 2010, an unusual gravestone was discovered in Chongqing, China. It featured a PC tower (with a Zip drive!), a keyboard and mouse, as well as an open book.
The gravestone was for a young man who passed away in 2003. Chinese site TTmop notes that computer tombstone was apparently the mother's idea because her son spent long hours in front of the computer, reading and studying.
The book is the grave's marker, and has a Chinese death poem of sorts that loosely says, "The mountains are high and the clouds are white; they will bring my feelings to my son."
Here is a video of the tombstone from Chinese video site Youku.

Second Paint Party session available
LAKE ODESSA — Due to the high demand for tickets, the Lake Odessa Arts Commission has added a second Paint Party class in January.
"Our first session, which will be held on Jan. 7, was sold out within just a few days," announced Arts Commission chair Judy Rodriguez. "We were thrilled with the overwhelming response," she said, "so we decided to add an extra session to give others a chance to participate."
A second session will be held on Thursday, Jan. 14, beginning at 6:30 p.m. with a brief social period. Instruction will run from 7 to 9 p.m., with professional artist Becky Stafford guiding participants as they create their very own masterpiece. The class will be held at Lake House Coffee & Café in Lake Odessa.
Our Paint Party is the perfect way to learn to paint in a fun and relaxed environment," said Stafford. "You don't need to be an artist to have fun. We provide all the necessary materials to create a work of art, and painters take their painting home at the end of the night."
"Tickets make excellent gifts for the holidays," noted Rodriguez. "You'll give someone special the gift of creativity, all while helping to support arts programming in the Lakewood area."
Seating is limited and tickets will sell out quickly, so guests are encouraged to purchase their tickets early. Tickets are $25 each and include a hot cocoa bar and munchies, plus all materials. In the event of inclement weather, an alternate "snowstorm" date will be announced on LakeOdessaArts.com.

As I ride through the country, I have many thoughts going through my head that I tell myself I will remember so I can put it on my blog the next time I get to a computer or a library...and, yes, I almost always forget those nuggets of wisdom that dog my brain for hours while riding. What is that all about? I cycled past one of the corporate cancer centers of America....in Lawrenceville, IL...a WalMart distribution center. Gave it the finger...
I met a cyclist outside of Montgomery, IN, who has ridden across country and he urged a change in my route, which I was considering due to the heavy traffic on Rt. 50 and minimal shoulders on the roadway. His name is Ken, a former Marine...infantry/Vietnam...68yrs old...a nurse now. Travels by bicycle everywhere and hikes. He suggested Rt. 40, the old National Highway, which goes into Washington, DC. I will head north out of Bloomington, IN, where I am now...to Rt. 40, then East to Gettysburg...580miles. Will spend a few days there, depending on how Hurricane Earl treats the East Coast...and me. By heading north, I get to avoid the coal trucks of Kentucky and West Virginia. Joy. My new route will take me through Dayton, Columbus, along the border of West Virginia/PA/MD, then north at Cumberland to Rt. 30, the Lincoln Hwy, into Gettysburg.
I haven't been able to get access to a computer as much as I wanted to and most won't let me download from my USB connection on my camera...now, this library in Bloomington does, but my camera is back in the motel room. Life.
The ride has been good in many ways...one, I'm above ground to do it; two, I'm fit enough to do it; three, fortunate enough to have a wife, Eileen, who supported me in this effort...although she did make me buy life insurance before I left...??? Hmmm? Being on the bike all day, outside, enjoying the weather, not the headwinds, and meeting some very friendly people. Stopped yesterday to look at my map outside a local restaurant about 16 miles outside of town...the owner came out and invited me in for a cold drink....lemonade. Tasted great. He and his son...Kent/Kyle...were interesting characters...definitely locals and very blue collar. Loved it.
Day 24: Springfield, IL - Vandalia, IL. 76 miles. Head wind all day long. Up to 20mph in the afternoon. Did not make me happy. I was talking to the wind as if it were able to understand me and not saying nice things to it. When I got to Vandalia, the local places were closed, so my choices for dinner were: The usual suspects...McDonalds, BurgerKing, Pizza Hut, Subway, crap, crap, crap....! Off to Flora, IL, tomorrow. Only have two minutes left on the PC...see you all when I can.

Sharing a web of connections often misunderstood or unappreciated by those who don't ride. Herewith, my attempt to share some of the more rational thoughts that flit around inside my head while bicycling, knocking back a brew or three, or just thinking about life. Reviews of bicycles, gear, touring, and more, plus some unsolicited posts about people, politics, and philosophy. Other things, too. Me: retired, gave up my TV in 1988, avid cyclist, several cross country tours completed with more to come.

Mun, who is out of work, is looking for a job. She is determined to pursue a career in fashion design. She realises that Lik has invested a lot of time and energy in her and wants to show her gratitude and sincerity. Lik is moved and asks her to return to NEE. But Lik has to give up his holiday with Ling to help Mun get ready for the Miss Hong Kong Pageant evening dress design project.
Episode 7 (May 4)
Yeung faces bankruptcy because of his business partner, Hong. In view of her family's financial crisis, Mun decides to work hard. Lik is determined to train Mun and asks her to join the Miss Hong Kong Pageant design project.
Hong sexually assaults Donna and Mun comes to her rescue. She attacks Hong and is arrested by police. Lik learns about her community service record when he bails her out. Mun feels ashamed, but Lik is not bothered by her past and even gives her a box of chocolate. Lik's gesture means a lot to Mun.
Episode 8 (May 5)
Inspired by Mun, Lik comes up with the design for the Miss Hong Kong Pageant project.
Chu, Cho-yiu's business partner, invites famous mainland model Niki to Hong Kong to promote N2. Yiu deliberately messes things up so that she, instead of Patrick, could head the N2 project. Niki misunderstands and blames Patrick for the mishaps. Patrick tries to prove his innocence but fails. Frustrated, he leaves NEE. Yiu is put in charge of the N2 project.
Lik never understood why Kau dismissed him years ago and Mun decides to tell him. Ling calls Lik's early in the morning and is surprised to find Mun answering the phone. She thinks Lik and Mun are having an affair.
Episode 9 (May 6)
Having spent a lot of time together, Lik and Mun have come to understand each other very well. Ling feels that their relationship is more than just a mentor and a student, and begins to suspect Lik.
Lik hears Yiu making fun of Mun, saying that she does not have a solid design background. He offers to teach Mun basic design skills. Mun has designed her first evening dress and wants to show it to Lik, but her heart sinks when she sees Lik and Ling together. She leaves without showing Lik her dress.

Church makes for a noisy neighbor
Chili, N.Y. - The sounds of praise at The Fathers House are giving some of the churchs neighbors a pounding headache.
This morning I was woken up at quarter to seven, seven o'clock with this boom, boom, boom, boom, Beverly Lamphorn said. Lamphorn lives on the other side of Archer Road in Chili, right across the street from the church. So, Sunday is not a sleep-in day, no it's not, said Lamphorn.
People at The Fathers House said the church kicks off every service with a 20-25 minute performance by a live band.
It's very annoying to the neighbors, Lamphorn said, we just hear this constant beat, vibration, whatever you want to call it.
Several people who live in the Clay Hill Farms neighborhood said the music is so loud, it shakes the windows of their homes. Lamphorn said, It's just gotten louder, and louder and louder and it just disrupts us.
A fellow resident, Chili Town Supervisor, David Dunning is well aware of the problem. Dunning said the town has received a lot of noise complaints about the church over the last two years.
Lamphorn said she has complained to both the town and the church numerous times. It's just a constant beat that is, I think, unacceptable, Lamphorn said, Why can't they contain it?
Church administrators said their lawyers have advised them not to comment on the noise complaints but added they are trying to resolve the issue.
According to neighbors who said theyve asked FHC to turn down the volume, the church has not responded to calls or emails in about six months.
I think it's atrocious, I think it's being a poor neighbor, Lamphorn said, I don't think they're being very Christian about it.
Instead of dialing it down, Lamphorn said, TFC is taking steps that could amplify the issue. On Tuesday, the church went the town planning board to request more than 400 additional parking spaces, which would nearly the size of its lot.
More people, more noise, Lamphorn said traffic is also a concerncoming and going home around church time can be difficult.
Fed up with the noise some neighbors said if nothing is done, they plan to take their noise complaints to court.
I dont think we should have to do that, Lamphorn said, I think being a good neighbor you would want to settle it with your neighbors and make peace.
In the meantime, several people in the neighborhood are campaigning to stop the possible expansion of The Fathers House parking lot. | <urn:uuid:215effba-b4c4-4d8e-8ab9-f19141d802cb> | CC-MAIN-2014-35 | http://13wham.com/template/cgi-bin/archived.pl?type=basic&file=/news/features/top-stories/stories/archive/2013/11/KAQPOxnw.xml | 2014-08-20T08:46:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-35/segments/1408500801235.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20140820021321-00182-ip-10-180-136-8.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.981728 | 548 |
All your requests for web pages go through the proxy server instead of being sent directly to the website. Viruses configure your computer to use their own proxy server which will deny you access to the internet but allow them access to ‘call home’ – or download more viruses onto your computer, they’re sneaky that way!
Note: although there are valid proxy servers used in businesses, a typical home user will only have a proxy server if a virus has configured one – if you recognize the name of the proxy server (e.g. for your college to give you access to their network) then it is probably legitimate and you may want to leave it in place.
To remove a proxy server in Internet Explorer:
Open Internet Explorer and click ‘Tools’ in the menu bar then click ‘Internet Options’ to open the ‘Internet Options’ window.
Click the ‘Connections’ tab then click the ‘LAN Settings’ button to open the LAN Settings window.
Under Proxy Server, untick the box labelled ‘Use a proxy server for your LAN’.
Click OK and OK again to return to Internet Explorer.
The proxy is now removed.
To remove a proxy server in Firefox:
Click ‘Tools’ in the menu bar then click ‘Options’ to open the ‘Options’ window.
Click the ‘Advanced’ button then click the ‘Network’ tab.
Click the ‘Settings’ button then click the ‘No proxy’ radio button then click OK then OK again.
The proxy is now removed.
Alternative Way To Remove The Proxy Server – If the above did not remove the proxy server, an alternative is to use the free Hijack This software from antivirus vendor Trend Micro.
Download the Hijack This 2.05 Executable from Filehippo here. Run the Hijack This.exe executable file you downloaded – when it opens the program, click the ‘Scan’ button. You should see a long list of registry and file settings on your computer.
Warning: Do not delete any entries in the list except the one detailed below – many entries are essential for your computer to run properly!
Look to see if the following entry is present (the numbers appearing after 127.0.0.1: can be any numbers – 5555 is just an example)
R1 – HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings,ProxyServer = http=127.0.0.1:5555
If this entry is NOT present you do not have a proxy server – close Hijack This and skip to the end of this article. If this entry IS present you do have a proxy server configured – click the box to the left of the entry to tick it. Do not tick any other entries!
Now click the ‘Fix Checked’ button and Hijack This will delete the proxy server entry (confirm you want to do it if you are prompted). Close Hijack This and the proxy server should be gone.
Hopefully you can access the internet now but make sure you remove any viruses that still remain on your computer – see our series of articles on How To Remove Viruses. | <urn:uuid:2c4bf1d6-a418-4139-85f5-0892608fd451> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://techlogon.com/2011/05/12/virus-proxy-server-stopping-internet-access/ | 2016-10-28T02:24:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988721555.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183841-00188-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.825331 | 681 |

UPDATE: Duncan Williams Downgrades Healthcare Services Group to Hold, Removes PT
A report from Duncan Williams downgrades Healthcare Services Group (NASDAQ: HCSG) from Buy to Hold.
The report states, “Our downgrade is purely based on valuation as HCSG is trading at 26 times our 2012 EPS estimate of $0.68. This valuation represents a premium to our current 2012 revenue growth estimate of 10% and our 2012 earnings growth estimate of 17%. We continue to believe that HCSG is a core holding for investors that want to participate in the outsourcing trend among healthcare providers”.
HCSG closed yesterday at $17.74.

Draught and displacement surveys:
One of the ways to ascertain the total loaded or discharged weight of (bulk) cargoes.
These surveys are implemented by our sworn surveyors in a two-way manner; i.e. before loading/discharge and after loading/discharge, upon which -on basis of the vessel’s draught mark readings- the vessel’s displacements are determined.
Corrections for vessel’s trim, location of draught marks and density of outboard basin water will be applied.
The difference between both corrected displacements is the loaded/discharged cargo weight; taking into consideration the ballast/potable water and fuel oil manipulations during loading/discharge.
A well conducted draught survey should achieve an accuracy within 0.5%.
Draught/Draft surveys are perfomed by our competent team of professionals. See how we do draft surveys here | <urn:uuid:5c95f86c-3e71-4419-a80b-6d3b5cab9387> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | https://observater.com/draught-surveys-africa-kenya-port-of-mombasa-djibouti-port-maputo-port-dar-eslaam-port-lamu-port-somalia-mozambique-eritrea/ | 2021-09-27T07:18:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780058373.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20210927060117-20210927090117-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.913477 | 190 |

This gold beauty belongs to Ray Bellizia of Whirlwind Music Distributors. Ray bought the guitar in 1974 from a butcher shop. Two years later, it was snatched from the stage during a break in the set at a show, but was recovered after security chased the perpetrator for several blocks. Only the tuners and jack plate have been replaced.

Okto's Christmas Music Video,
6 Dec 2009
The Jumping Jewels are featured
on Okto's Christmas music video. Shooting on Saturday, 5th December
started with the team meeting at Rope Skipping Singapore in Tampines at
9am to dress
up and do our hair. Then it was to Mediacorp for make-up and voice
recording. A bus fetched us to Singapore Media Academy at Clark Quay
for the shooting at about 1.30pm. There was no rehearsals or lunch at
Mediacorp so lunch was pizza when we arrived at SMA. We were supposed
to leave for another appointment at 4pm but decided to stay till the
shooting was done at 6pm.
It was nice to work with our OMF friends again. We wore a
Christmas plaid dress and a knit hoodie coat but just could not
find orange colored accessories. Finally got some bright
orange fabric and made hair accessories. This is first time the Jumping
Jewels are in a team dress. Got the story board for the music video at
originally we were briefed to rope skip in so we practice our circus
when we reached SMA but as it turned out we skip in holding only
There was a make-up artiste who made up everyone in the
shoot. She really made us look great. Although we did not skip, it was
really tiring working the whole day. Watch the music video on TV and
Jumping Jewels Christmas.

Fighting Seattle at Seattle this week. Healthier in some ways, but still inconsistent.
It's tough to say what to do here. Carolina was gashed against the run last week, but the Seahawks aren't the Browns and there's no Peyton Hillis here. Justin Forsett and Marshawn Lynch are former Cal teammates, curious given the Pete Carroll connection to USC; Lynch was sent from Buffao four games into the year and watched his YPC drop from 4.4 to 3.1. Forsett, a 5'8 change of pace back, has a respectable 4.2; both backs, along with QB Matt Hasselbeck, have 2 TDs rushing apiece. The trade for Lynch isn't paying off so far, and Leon Washington has barely played (2 games of the 7 since the bye).
Despite putting a 6th overall pick into LT Russell Okung, having experienced right side players Chris Spencer, Stacy Andrews, and Sean Locklear (C to RT, in order), they sit at 32nd rushing the football. They get stuffed 28% of the time, again last in the league. They're 21st in the league for sacks given up, with 26. Carolina statistically ranks worst against the run on the outside, but the Seahawks hardly run outside at all, and only average 1.9 yards per carry on left outside runs.
Hasselbeck had made a name for himself as a deep ball QB with the efficiency of a WCO guy, but has been tasked mostly with dumpoffs. Here, he'll find solace in a Panthers zone defense that allows dumps all day, and occasionally overload blitzes right into short passes that become long gains. Hasselbeck completes 59% of his passes, and has a 10/9 TD/INT ratio.
Former USC star and Lions bust Mike Williams (52/654/1 TD) has finally emerged, but didn't play last week and may not this week. His size creates a mismatch, and he is relying on old tricks to become useful again, having normally found it unable to get past press coverage without speed. Deon Butler is the next receiver, at a more paltry 27/274/3 TD. Slot Brandon Stokely has 22/261, and Golden Tate would assume his role if Williams doesn't play - the Notre Dame rookie has 12 receptions for 172. He and Ben Obomanu (leads the team with 4 TDs and has 19.5 yards/catch as a deep ball guy) get used situationally only.
TE John Carlson has 26/257/1, Forsett as a dumpoff guy has 25/209. Either are more apt threats than the 3rd/4th WRs, as the ball comes out fast and short to secondary targets. Seattle is efficient enough - 17th in pass yards - but it scores them only rarely, finishing at 27th in PPG with 19.0. It's a very deliberate offense, and it won't shock you, beat you down, or surprise you.
Carolina matches well, with a strong pass defense, and their suspect run defense may entice Seattle to run but it won't be a significant game changer for them to do so. Carolina is among the tops in the league in covering primary WR (5th against the #1, 1st against the #2) but last against the TE, so watch Carlson.
Seattle's defense is high on stars in the second level, with Lofa Tatupu in the middle and Wake Forest alum/former top 10 pick Aaron Curry playing strongside; FS Earl Thomas and WLB David Hawthorne are the leaing tacklers. DE Chris Clemins has 7.5 sacks. Brandon Mebane and journeyman Junior Siavii are adequate DTs but can be moved.
Lawyer Milloy is still somehow in the league, and from SS, is second on the team in sacks with 4. Carolina was flustered twice last week against the Browns with weakside blitzing of a safety, each causing sacks. Jimmy Clausen simply hasn't read through that one well enough, and the OL doesn't pick it up well. So, clearly, Seattle will want to bring Milloy in weakside B gap on a slight delay, and Clausen must notice the single high safety, that he needs to get the ball out fast, and if that's successful, it's still caused the QB to not look deep on a potentially lucrative deep play. Teams tend not to do that with 3+ WR, so that's a fix - but then you're losing a contain blocker.
Seattle's awful defense, led by DC Casey Bradley, is 30th in yards with 300/game, gives up 25 ppg for 23rd, is 30th against the pass and 22nd agaisnt the run. It's a base 4-3, with typical cover 3 disguise looks, not unlike what Carolina ran from 2003-2008 under Mike Trgovac and what John Fox himself ran with the Giants. It's the same defense that George Seifert built in San Francisco, and couldn't build in Carolina.
Seattle's solid at covering the #1 receiver with Marcus Trufant (17th) but terrible against the others (2nd WR, 27th; 3rd WR 29th). They're good (4th) covering the TE, but 31st against the RB; typical 3rd down targets Dante Rosario and Mike Goodson will be heading in divergent paths this week. Goodson was targeted 10 times last week anyway, catching 8 for 81, so it's not hard to see that they'll continue to check to Goodson plenty. Rosario leads the team in 3rd down catches and targets, but has trailed lately, and that should continue.
Leading tackler, Thomas, also leads with 5 INT from FS; four others have 1 apiece. Thomas sits in his single high safety look often, though occasionally they pull Jon Babineaux up to move Milloy into the box but keep two high safeties. Oregon rookie Walter Thurmond is most often the nickel.
The pursuit, with most of the players of note being non-DL, is solid. There's no reason Carolina can't stretch or sweep with the run, because their overall product on O is much better than the Seahawks' rush D, but the push should be quick hitters between the tackles, where the light second level defenders will be more easily overpowered than outrun. Jonathan Stewart was successful at this last week, Mike Goodson brilliant at it at times in the two weeks before that. The OL is hitting stride in run blocking, and that may be key to controlling what Milloy can do, what the blitzing can do, and what Clausen must put on his own back. | <urn:uuid:cd75966b-0b8f-44b1-87e8-9d0386fa68da> | CC-MAIN-2014-15 | http://absolutepanthers.blogspot.com/2010/12/seattle.html | 2014-04-23T23:44:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-15/segments/1398223203841.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20140423032003-00156-ip-10-147-4-33.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.976 | 1,385 |
Following up on the return of the “Kiss of Death” Air Max 1 in February 2021, The designer, whose “Kiss of Death” recently returned for the first time in over a decade, seems to be working on something equally as big for Air Max Day: a new, tea-inspired version of the collaborative Air Max 1.At this time, not much is known for this upcoming Clot x Nike Air Max 1, as the shoe was previously teased on Chen’s Instagram page as well as showing us a brief on-foot image.Not much is known about the colorway as of yet, but Chen and his imprint CLOT have teased images throughout the weekend.The shoe appears to have a similar build as the “Kiss of Death” release including a see-through toe with suede panels and Swooshes in Brown and Red hues. The see-through, perforated toe makes a return, adding the same DNA adjacent to suede “CLOTCHA Brown” panels and contrasting red swooshes/laces. “After reflexology usually comes tea,” said Chen on his IG post, which the reflexology chart returns on the outsoles.
New Jordan is getting ready to launch their latest Blazer Low Platform edition exclusively for women.Unlike sacai‘s upcoming collaboration, both newly-surfaced pairs of the Blazer Low-variant feature a standard upper in either tonal “White” or a two-tone “White/Black” scheme.Nike Blazer Low Platform comes dressed in an original White, Black, Sail, and Team Orange color scheme. Layered components are forgone on both options, but reinforcement around the toe and at the lateral forefoot remain: the overlays on the all-“White” sneaker indulges in a leather construction instead of suede.It features a White leather base with Black Swooshes and “NIKE” rear branding.Lastly, herringbone-patterned outsoles also boast a plain styling, although future releases may opt into a light gum brown finish.
Where to Buy Yeezy Boost will be expanding its Yeezy Quantum lineup with an all-new “Sea Teal” colorway releasing during March 2021.This newest colorway serves as a follow up to the YEEZY QNTM Basketball model restock.adidas Yeezy Quantum “Sea Teal” features a Primeknit upper made up of White, Grey, Black, and faded Yellow and Green tones.On the side paneling which hosts the traditional abstract streaks, Ye adds interweaves in notes of “Sea Teal”, black, baby blue and olive into its mostly gray backgrounds.Black appears in the rear, sockliner, tongue, and laces completed with reflective detailing atop an enclosed BOOST midsole.Elsewhere on the uppers is presented in similar fashion to its predecessors as the same black ankle collars, laces and throats are called to the table, as well as the heel’s reflective and charcoal grey color-blocking and light gray suede toe box overlays. | <urn:uuid:e2fa8bbe-b141-4f67-a7d4-c84843b7e85c> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.e-sathi.com/blogs/100793/New-Releasing-2021-Clot-Teases-Tea-Inspired-Nike-Air-Max | 2022-01-19T11:34:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320301309.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20220119094810-20220119124810-00549.warc.gz | en | 0.946559 | 657 |
The beautiful bellas over at BDJBox.com were being their usual thoughtful selves and sent me a sample of Pantene’s new 3 Minute Miracle Conditioner* last week. I wasn’t expecting it at all, but that was fine because it was my favourite kind of surprise–the useful and well-timed kind. My hair always sucks after the holidays because of constant heat styling. It’s dry, dull, and sad. This miracle conditioner promises to “smoothen 3 months of damage in three minutes” — perfect! While I incurred my major hair damage over the span of just a month, I’d say this is just about as damaged as it gets in the year so it was the perfect time to test it out. I don’t think I had ever used a Pantene product before trying this one, and I must say I was impressed overall. The first thing I noticed was the super sweet strawberry scent–kind of like Skittles. If you like smelling of candy, you will adore this. I was impartial, although I must say that having sweaty hair in yoga is now not so unpleasant–it seems to release the scent even more, lol.
As for effectivity (the most important part), I give it 4/5 stars. My hair feels softer after just one use and it becomes especially shiny when I take the time to blow dry or flat iron it. I do have a problem with it being an everyday-use conditioner though, as I don’t think deep conditioning daily is healthy for your scalp. I think I’ll be using this not every day, but on nights when I know I have to look extra good the next day. This practically assures you a good hair day, and all girls know that a good hair day is like a magical, steroidal confidence-booster.
This is Bea Alonzo being totally perf, as usual. I can’t look at this woman without seeing Basha, the character she played in the seminal (lol, jk) Tagalog movie One More Chance. She looked gorgeous 8 years ago, and she still looks gorgeous now— thanks in great part to her luscious, shiny hair no doubt! Eng. Popoy is one lucky guy, yo (assuming he never took her for granted again which he would be a total idiot to have done).
Anyway, I hope you all are having a great Wednesday and may you be blessed with an abundance of good hair days in your lifetime!

The most versatile manikin for all rescue scenarios typically practiced by emergency rescue professionals including: Confined Space, USAR, Chemical/Biological Hazard, Road Traffic Collision (RTC) & general handling exercises - ensuring effective, realistic training.
Now constructed in the same flame retardant Polyester used in Police ballistic/stab vests, which typically has 4 times the strength and abrasion resistance of 16oz canvas or P.V.C (the materials previously used) – making the manikins even stronger than before.
FEATURES & BENEFITS
- Anatomically correct weight distribution gives the 'feel' of an unconscious person.
- Strong webbing loop allows easy positioning, storage and hanging up for drying.
- Strong enough to be buried under concrete or steel lintels with no damage - these manikins are tough!
- The Polyester is waterproof, making it suitable for wet or foul scenarios such as Hazmat/ CBRN as it can be more easily cleaned and dried than canvas or leather models.
- Can withstand being driven over with a 4x4 vehicle and being dropped from a 2nd floor window onto a concrete floor with no damage.
- Soft body joints eliminate the risk of pinch welts and bruising, a common injury when using plastic bodied manikins.
- Protective consumables including, tough drag protectors, coveralls and boots, greatly extended the life of the manikin and help save you costs. | <urn:uuid:7b4d6199-ac24-4062-ab2f-09a8460b99eb> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.associatedfiresafety.com/collections/manikins/products/ruth-lee-heavy-adult-mannikin | 2022-08-07T18:20:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570692.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20220807181008-20220807211008-00604.warc.gz | en | 0.876875 | 308 |
Some bloggers have a schedule. They post on certain days, or make lists on a specific day. I think that’s great, but that kind of commitement scares me. Amber, over at The Usual Bliss, blogs about the best parts of her week every Wednesday and calls it bliss bits. I enjoy reading it and I’ve thought of starting something similar, but I’m afraid I’ll do it once or twice, then forget, and then feel bad about forgeting, but still not do it, and well, you get the picture.
However, today, I’m feeling like I need a little pick-me up. My car is stuck in the snow. Again. I can’t move it, so I just left it there. I’ll deal with it later. Maybe. Or maybe I’ll just walk everywhere until the snow melts and sets it free.
I decided to look back on my month and think about the things that made me smile. There are quite a few!
Going to the museum of nature with my students.
Practicing arm-balances on a semi-regular basis.
Making vitamin water.
Learning how to take long-exposure photos during my photography class.
Making this girly pink cake for baby Stella’s baby shower.
Skating on the canal.
Exploring my wild side.
Finishing my blanket in time for Suzanne’s shower.
With a little help from my grandmother!

The U.S. Air Force, Lockheed Martin and the University of Colorado at Boulder have partnered to add a research and development environment to the Tools, Applications and Processing Laboratory.
The Colorado Business Roundtable said Monday the new Tap Lab environment will offer remote sensing data analysis and archiving tools, shared cloud computing resources and computing infrastructure and services.
USAF opened the facility in April 2016 to provide government, industry and academic professionals access to remote sensing infrared and weather data via an R&D environment.
The service branch and several of its industry partners invest in technology areas such as dataset capture through satellite-based remote sensors, signal processing, analytics, data fusion and visualization.
CU-Boulder offers expertise in the remote sensing, analytics and earth sciences fields to partner organizations through the university’s Grand Challenge Initiatives. | <urn:uuid:aa970563-a4bc-4309-9355-c7463c017077> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://blog.executivebiz.com/2017/12/air-force-lockheed-university-of-colorado-partner-to-establish-new-tap-lab-space/ | 2019-07-16T22:35:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195524972.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20190716221441-20190717003441-00493.warc.gz | en | 0.899501 | 167 |
THE NATURE AND SCOPE OF THE CONTRACT OF EMPLOYMENT
The formation of the contract of employment is not subject to any formalities: the simple agreement of will, validly occurring between two persons capable of contracting, is sufficient to form the contract (Art. 1385 and following of the Civil Code of Québec).
It should be noted that a corporation cannot be considered an employee.
Although a contract of employment may be oral or written, the stipulation of a non-competition clause must be written (Art. 2089 of the Civil Code of Québec).
The contract of employment is therefore subject to contractual freedom. As soon as the two (2) parties come to an agreement, the contract will be presumed valid, including all of the obligations agreed upon by the parties in the course of negotiation.
DID YOU KNOW…
Can a verbal offer of employment accepted by the employee bind the parties? Yes, the job offer verbally accepted by the employee binds the parties, even if the parties foresee writing the terms of the contract. This step is not conditional to the validity of the contract, but is a mere formality.

There are many children's stories that are written to be short and easily understood by young readers or audiences; one such story, 'Goodnight Moon,' by Margaret Wise Brown, is considered a classic by many, and its themes relating to sleep and relaxation make it an appropriate bedtime story. The main character of the 'Goodnight Moon' story is a bunny who is getting ready to go to bed, and the book is also quite short, with simple sentences laid out on illustrated pages that allow for a quick read.
Other short bedtime stories that have cute illustrations and calming themes include 'Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See' by Bill Martin Jr. and Eric Carle, 'One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish' by Dr. Seuss, 'Guess How Much I Love You' by Sam McBratney, 'Pajama Time!' by Sandra Boynton and 'Llama, Llama, Red Pajama' by Anna Dewdney. The last two items in this list are specifically related to bedtime, featuring anthropomorphic animals preparing themselves for bed. These are all short stories that can be read quickly before bedtime and are suitable for very young children. Older children may enjoy longer bedtime stories such as 'Where the Wild Things Are,' a classic children's story that features friendly monsters that nonetheless may be scary for very young children. | <urn:uuid:bdbf0e64-a32a-4293-9227-85d09d77c75a> | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | https://www.reference.com/art-literature/cute-short-bedtime-story-c96798abfd91bf45 | 2018-10-20T11:34:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-43/segments/1539583512693.40/warc/CC-MAIN-20181020101001-20181020122501-00312.warc.gz | en | 0.95449 | 285 |

Art in itself is a very cultivated, skilled activity that represents civilizations from antiquity. It creates images, words, objects, and even monuments.

STARTUP STAGE: Lovu wants to become the romantic travel app
I love you
Lovu is a romantic travel booking app, with options for users to do it on their own or to work with a travel counselor.
Founder Shri Lildharrie has experience both in hotel technology and with The Knot, a global wedding planning company.
What’s your 30-second pitch to investors?
Lovu is a travel app dedicated to romantic trips and couples. From marriage proposals and destination weddings to honeymoons, birthdays, vow renewals and baby moons, romantic travel is easy on Lovu, where consumers can develop a direct relationship with hotels and resorts. travel advisers. We are cutting out middlemen like online travel agencies that offer no real value and put consumers in control of their romantic travel experience.
Describe both the business and technological aspects of your startup.
Lovu is free for consumers. There is a freemium account that every property gets and a premium paid account starting with our free RoomX plan which involves room exchange for a Gold, Diamond and Platinum membership and plan for multi-property brands. Travel counselors have one plan. Lovu is a mobile SaaS platform.
Give us your SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis of the company.
- Highlights – We make finding, planning and booking romantic celebration trips easy and fun for everyone involved.
- Weaknesses – Capital. We need the money to go fast. For this reason, we are raising funds by pre-selling the platform to the first adapters and launching a mainstream Indiegogo campaign over the coming week. We offer free nights in prestigious hotels in exchange for your commitment.
- Opportunities – There are more mobile connected devices in the world than people, and almost 90% of mobile internet time is spent on apps. The business of romantic travel is huge. The destination wedding and honeymoon market in the United States is over $ 25 billion. Lovu will serve the global romantic travel market.
- Threats – We are disrupting a high value customer segment of the travel industry. We are not a commission model. Online travel sites can be a threat if they change their business model and stop serving romantic consumers badly. Consumer behavior and technological change can also become a threat. Our users are at the heart of our business. We will continually challenge the status quo to make it easy for couples to find and book their romantic travel experiences. We will constantly change our technology to remain competitive and relevant to our users.
What are the travel issues you are trying to alleviate from a customer and industry perspective?
- For consumers:
- The time it would take them to research, plan and book romantic celebration trips like honeymoons, destination weddings, proposals, vow renewals, etc.
- The indirect relationships they would establish with the hotels
- The trouble of finding the right person in a hotel to make him a deal
- The time it would take for them to find an experienced destination travel expert to help them
- For hotels:
- Their permanent challenge to win direct bookings from consumers
- The constant battle to reduce distribution costs
- The challenges of achieving a high return on advertising investment
- The ongoing challenges of direct customer engagement
- The constant challenge of getting customers to sign up for loyalty programs
- The challenge of getting guests to become brand ambassadors on social media
- For travel counselors:
- The high cost of marketing
- Persistent customer and commission bypass issues
- The high price of high quality leads / referrals
- The need for continuing education and training in sales
So you have the product, now how are you going to get a lot of customers?
We will mainly rely on content marketing. Our B2C (Travel Consumers) content marketing efforts will include brand marketing, specialty media, social media, PR campaigns, expert advice marketing, influencer marketing, and more. For our B2B content marketing to hotels, resorts, vacation rentals, etc., we will include social media (LinkedIn), public relations, industry press, expert advice marketing, etc. Travel counselor marketing will include commercial advertising, email marketing, business conferences, content marketing, and ongoing virtual brain courses where we will continuously educate counselors about the romantic travel business.
Tell us what process you went through to establish a real need for your business and the size of the addressable market.
For the past four years, I have researched the romance industry and the direct booking efforts of hotel companies and their ongoing struggle to win the direct consumer market. I have researched romantic travel data from several reputable sources, including industry travel information from The Knot Worldwide, the world’s leading media on the life scene with a community of millions of consumers. going through romantic stages from proposal to marriage to starting a family for the first time. I have found a huge gap in the travel industry in my research, and I am filling that need.
The addressable size of the US market is approximately 126 million consumers who are married, living together and in committed romantic relationships. Romantic travel is a huge and underserved travel segment that needs highly personalized and personalized products and pricing offers and a booking experience that only the direct relationships between travelers and hoteliers or travelers and travelers. experienced travel counselors can offer. This segment hasn’t been addressed appropriately by anyone, let alone the undercover online travel agencies, and I’ve found the magic formula to do it.
How and when will you make money?
We make money by charging subscription fees to tourism providers and travel advisers and on media opportunities. Our business plan puts us in positive cash flow by year two based on meeting fundraising goals.
What are the backgrounds and previous achievements of the founding team?
I, Shri Lildharrie, am the founder and am a travel technician, media pro and entrepreneur with over 20 years of travel industry experience and an expert in software business development as a solution (SaaS). I spent nine years on the world’s first income-generating wedding website, The Knot. During my tenure at The Knot, I generated over $ 50 million. Prior to that, I owned and operated Karma, a catering and event business. I also founded The Hotellogist Inc., a hotel technology consulting company. Over the past five years, I’ve helped hospitality businesses succeed online using a variety of cutting-edge technologies with NextGuest, now part of Cendyn. They are the world’s leading hotel technology and digital marketing company serving brands like Hard Rock, Hyatt, IHG, AMResorts, Hilton, Caesars and many more.

Artyom Sklyarov, the co-founder, is an accomplished Creative Director, Designer and Digital Developer with 20 years of experience in interactive media and a portfolio of award-winning projects. He has worked directly with many major hotel brands including Marriott, Hard Rock Hotels, Loews Hotels and many more.
How did you approach diversity and inclusion within your company?
My co-founder and I are both immigrants and I, the CEO, am a person of color. Our experiences have shown us that you cannot have the best talent without building a diverse and inclusive team. We are developing a global market of travel counselors, hotels and couples that span all identities and backgrounds. That said, it is important for us that our employees get down to work to best serve the diversity of humans in our network.
What has been the most difficult part of building the business so far?
The hardest part of founding Lovu is self-financing in these tough economic times. My income was significantly affected by the pandemic, so it was a financial battle to begin with. It’s hard to earn the trust of angel investors during a pandemic as the travel industry suffers.
Typically, travel industry startups face a pretty tough time to make an impact – so why are you going to be one of the lucky ones?
No one owns a romantic trip. No one is offering a solution that helps make the romantic travel industry easier for everyone involved. This segment of the travel industry is a fair game, and not all players are doing it a disservice. So we dedicate everything we do to couples; they are the heart and soul of our business. We focus on a very targeted segment of travel consumers, and we know how to find and engage them.
Plus, travel service providers love us because we add hundreds of thousands of dollars to the bottom line that they would otherwise have paid to third-party booking sites. We help them in so many ways, from lowering the cost of sales to personalized customer engagement. I think we have a great formula for being one of the lucky ones.
In a year, what state do you think your startup will be in?
We will have a scalable product, paying customers, and fundraising to continue to grow Lovu.
What’s your endgame? (IPO, acquisition, growth and maintenance of the private sector, etc.)
It depends on how we do it. I am open to an acquisition with the right company, like The Knot Worldwide or by staying private.

Live Free or Die Hard
Thursday, June 28, 2007
While sequels such as Oceans 13 and Spider-Man 3 can think of nothing better than slapping a new number on the end of the titles for each successive film, the Die Hard series has at least had some fun with their titles offering up Die Harder, Die Hard with a Vengeance and now Live Free or Die Hard (opening June 29 throughout San Diego). Bruce Willis returns for his fourth outing as maverick cop John McClane.
The Die Hard films, which kicked off in 1988, operate on the simple theory that you cant keep a good man down. John McClane (Bruce Willis) is a New York City cop who always seems to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. He was in an office building when a terrorist took it over; had his wife on a plane that mercenaries wanted to crash; and ended up driving all over New York City to play a mad bomber's sick game. Now he's asked to perform the simple task of picking up Matt Farrell (Justin Long), a hacker that the FBI needs to question, and bringing him in. Only problem is someone wants the hacker and of course McClane dead and is willing to do anything to achieve that end -- that includes blowing them up, chasing them with a helicopter and even arranging for a fighter jet shoot McClane down. Talk about overkill.
But this time out McClane has to save more than an office building or a plane. As the title implies its about saving the free world or at least America as we know it. The terrorists this time are a bunch of computer geeks who have figured out a way to bring the computer dependent U.S. to its knees. The plan has been masterminded by Thomas Gabriel (Timothy Olyphant) and his lethal assistant Mai Lihn (Maggie Q). McClane's wife (previously played by Bonnie Bedelia) isn't in jeopardy this time but his daughter Lucy (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) is.
I have to confess that I went into this with low expectations. I thought this was just another attempt to milk a franchise for one more lame sequel. But I have to admit I was thoroughly and pleasantly surprised. Live Free or Die Hard delivers the action goods and has a helluva good time doing it. Id call it a guilty pleasure only I don't feel any guilt about having enjoyed it so much. Its a big dumb lug of a film but it has no pretenses about being anything else. It's like a punch drunk fighter who keeps plugging away because he doesn't know what else to do, and you gotta love him for being so determined in his enterprise.
Live Free or Die Hard is essentially a big budgeted B movie that harkens back to the 80s action films that Hot Fuzz paid loving tribute to just a couple months back. Live Free or Die Hard has some badly mismatched edits, what looks like lame rear screen projection and a plot thats so outlandish you cant imagine anyone seriously pitching it. But it's almost refreshing in its shameless mindlessness. Like its main character, the film just keeps plugging ahead with relentless determination to get the job done. Director Len Wiseman (who went from doing props on Godzilla to directing a pair of Underworld films starring his wife Kate Beckinsale) gets the job done with a maximum amount of destruction and mayhem. He blows a lot of crap up and he does so with the utmost noise. Bodies and vehicles pile up so fast that you lost count. Everything's so over the top that you end up gleefully suspending your disbelief just to see how far the filmmakers will go. And they're willing to go pretty far as they keep throwing obstacles and opponents in McClane's way.
Now this is the first of the Die Hard films to be rated PG-13 (the others were all R) and I thought that might mean a softer, less gritty film. But to be honest, the concessions for the lower rating don't seem to have hurt the film. McClane still gets to say his signature line of "Yippee ki yay, motherfr," and the action doesn't feel toned down. The action does lack the finesse and style of Asian action films but it makes up for that deficit with some massive stunts/effects involving cars, helicopters, jets and semi-trunks. Stuntman/actor Cyril Raffaelli (who engaged in the dynamic parkour stunts of District B13 and the martial arts work of Kiss of the Dragon ) gets to show off a little of his skill but he could have been put to better use.
At one point young Matt derides McClane for his taste in music and for playing Credence Clearwater Revival. McClane says lay off. He points out that CCR is classic rock and he likes it and that's it. When Matt continues to complain, McClane simply pumps up the volume. That pretty much sums up the filmits unabashedly old school and it just pumps up the decibel level so you cant hear anyone complaining. If Wiseman were more of a stylist or a more seasoned veteran, Id might chalk up some of the low end, old school-looking elements -- like bad interior car shots and shots where what the actors words aren't in sync with his lips to deliberate choices a la Grindhouse meant to evoke an era. But I think that would be giving Wiseman more credit than he deserves. Let's just say that the film's crudeness ends up adding to its gruff charms.
Willis returns yet again as McClane and its a role he's well settled into. He could do this role in his sleep, tossing out tough guy one-liners to annoy the bad guys. But I half expected him to use Danny Glovers mantra from Lethal Weapon Im getting too old for this st. Yet the 52-year-old action star still manages to convince us that he's got what it takes to stand up to anyone. Willis McClane is a comic book character who manages to survive leaping out of a speeding car, jumping onto a jet and falling from great heights with little more than a few cuts and bruises. As his spunky daughter Lucy, Winstead proves as tough as daddy and she lets us see an edge that her previous cute roles never tapped into. As Matt, Long proves a good sparring partner for Willis. Long is both funny and appealing. Kevin Smith makes a cameo appearance as a tech geek named Warlock, and its a clever bit of casting that taps into Smiths fan base. Theres also a nice racial mix in the supporting roles. Bonnie Bedelia, however, doesn't return as McClane's ex. We see a brief photo of her but maybe action hero spouses who hit their fifties are not considered good for the franchise any more.
Live Free also continues with the Die Hard tradition of setting up a nasty nemesis that you can't wait to see taken down. Timothy Olyphant (of Deadwood ) has a cold, steely stare and a cold, greedy heart to match. He's just the kind of arrogant prick that you love to see get his due, and the way McClane takes him out is quite good. Olyphant follows in the footsteps of Alan Rickman and Jeremy Irons who both delivered delicious villains in previous Die Hard films. Maggie Q provides the female baddie. She does some impressive ass kicking but then McClane throws political correctness out the window to give her her just desserts.
Live Free or Die Hard (rated PG-13 for language and action violence) is the perfect summer popcorn movie -- big, dumb, noisy and highly destructive. What more can you ask for in a summer action flick? As a self-confessed action junkie, Live Free or Die Hard provided a great fix. Aside from Hot Fuzz , this is probably the summer flick Id most want to see again. Check your brain at the door and fasten your seat belts for a wild ride.
Companion viewing: Die Hard, Hot Fuzz, Point Break, District B13

In the NBA Finals last year, Mario Chalmers hit a huge three to give the Heat the lead late vs. Dallas. It was supposed to be his moment. Finally, finally, he would be accepted, respected, celebrated. It would be about him, and his game, his shot. It was not. A blown rotation and an answer from Dallas and the series had shifted for the final time. That was the game where everything ended for Miami, when you look back.
The Heat could have moved on from Chalmers this year, could have opted to go in a different direction. They stuck with the guy they’ve come to know as “little brother.” And in Game 4 vs. Oklahoma City, it paid off. Chalmers scored 25 points on 9-15 shooting and the Heat pulled away for a 104-98 victory, going up 3-1 in the Finals.
In every playoff series, there are what I call “You have to be kidding me” guys. Players who a team’s fans know as guys who can hit big shots, make big plays, who are playing well under the radar. Players who the other team’s fans have no expectation of anything positive from. When they deliver, those fans are left screaming “You have to be kidding me!” as a player they never feared hits big shot after big shot. Shane Battier was that player for three games. In Game 4, it was Mario Chalmers.
What’s maybe even more stunning is that Chalmers did it without just hitting open 3’s on the catch-and-shoot. He was going to the rim. He sped past defenders (including Kevin Durant for much of the game) and hit tough layup after tough layup, hanging the ball on the edge of the rim with enough back spin to slide back in. It wasn’t Dwyane Wade or LeBron James, but they were monster shots all the same.
The burden of being a young, inconsistent point guard finding your way on a team of superstars is you’re constantly being considered in the context of another level. Chalmers is notoriously confident to the point of absurdity. He honestly believes he’s as good as those players, he honestly believes he can change a game, a series, a season. In Game 4, he backed it up. He made smart decisions, and when he didn’t, he made up for it with hustle plays. Twice, Chalmers responded to turnovers with defensive pressure to force the ball back to Miami’s way.
Chalmers has constantly faced being screamed at by James and Wade for any mistake. Overthrow a full-court outlet pass? Criticism. Miss a defensive rotation? Criticism. Turn the ball over? Fail to get the ball to a star in a key spot? Take a bad shot? Constant and consistent verbal abuse. You have to live with the standards. In Game 4, there were none of those words, just glowing support post-game from the superstar big brothers. The kid had done it, he’d pulled his weight, he’d made the shots, he’d won the game.

For every business, from large organisations to smaller startup companies, data loss prevention (DLP) measures are a crucial element of security that must be continually employed. The aim of this process is to fully understand how data is being utilised, knowing where it is being sent or has gone to, and whether this usage conforms to compliancy policies such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
The following are some of the best practices for DLP that can help you to protect sensitive company information from both external and internal threats.
Identifying and classifying sensitive information
In order to protect company data efficiently, it is important to know what types of information your firm stores and uses. Making use of data discovery as well as data classification technologies can help you control user access and ensure sensitive data is not stored in unsecure locations. All sensitive information should be clearly marked with its designated classification so you can make certain it is properly protected.
Data classifications can always be updated as required but controls should be used to stop users attempting to falsify classification levels. Only users with top level privileges should have access to downgrade data classifications.
Access Control Lists (ACL) can show who is authorised to access resources at different levels. The ACL can be an application or an internal element of your operating system. ACLs can use blacklists or whitelists as a basis that might contain websites staff are prohibited or allowed to visit, or software that can or cannot be installed.
The power of data encryption
Any business-critical data must always be encrypted both in transit and when stored. To avoid loss of vital information and to defend against attacks, hard drives on laptops and computers should also be encrypted.
Safeguarding your system
Any areas where sensitive data may be located, even if temporarily, should always be secured and all potential access routes accounted for. Any system is only as safe as its weakest point but always consider usability when you are securing your network, as a balance between security and functionality must be maintained. Ensure only programs required by employees to perform their tasks are enabled to avoid unwanted avenues for attack.
Keep on top of patches
Make sure all apps and operating systems are always up to date with the latest patches available for superior cybersecurity and data protection. Patches implemented for critical infrastructure should be tested fully to make sure no compromises in functionality or vulnerabilities occur within the system.
Educate system users
Making sure all data users in your organisation are aware of the security in place and understand its importance is paramount. Users should be educated on their role in protecting sensitive company data, from where to store it to where they send it, and how compliancy laws affect its use.

Saginaw County Veterans Memorial Plaza Expanding
The Saginaw County Veterans Memorial Plaza Board of Directors has announced plans to build the sixth and final pod honoring veterans at Veterans Plaza. Located at Hoyt Park, the plaza houses the monuments from World War I, World War II, Korean War, Vietnam War, and the neutral Flag Pod. A design for the sixth pod, dedicated to Middle East and future conflicts, was created by Wm. A. Kibbe & Associates, and Spence Brothers is overseeing the project.
The new memorial will also honor those who have suffered the physical and hidden wounds of war, as well as the sacrifice made by veterans’ families. Fundraising for the new pod is underway. The total cost is estimated at $125,000.
To donate, call the Saginaw County Veterans Memorial Plaza office at (989) 752-4000, or send by mail to : Saginaw County Veterans Memorial Plaza, P.O.

We’ve seen Mini Coopers do some pretty impressive stunts before — conducting high-speed parallel parking jobs as well being the launch vessel for a wingsuit athlete off a cliff — but it appears the car has been taught a new and perhaps more impressive trick.
It can flip.
As shown in the YouTube video posted by the automaker Sunday, the Mini Countryman John Cooper Works SUV makes a world first “unassisted” backflip in Tignes, France, thanks to the work of driver Guerlain Chicherit.
Watch the impressive stunt:
The Christian Science Monitor has more on what this “unassisted” part means:
Skilled drivers like Rhys Millen have completed backflips in cars before (sometimes miffing the landing), but with the aid of special ramps with special moving elements to boost the car’s rotational movement necessary to complete the stunt.
For his take-off, Chicherit used a static ramp similar to those used by skiers. With the ideal ramp breakover angle in place, the 34-year-old needed only two other things to record a successful attempt: an extremely light touch with the accelerator and a MINI with a suitably buoyant suspension setup.
This footage from AFP gives a little more of a behind the scenes look: | <urn:uuid:cc467b56-0bc3-443d-bc52-649d9944f536> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/02/19/mini-cooper-goes-where-no-car-has-gone-before-in-360-degree-flip-of-course-its-on-video/ | 2016-10-23T01:41:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988719136.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183839-00405-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.932797 | 274 |

Book #3 in the Gardiner and Renner series (2018)
The scene of the crime is lavish but gruesome. In a luxurious mansion on the outskirts of Cleveland, a woman’s body lies gutted in a pool of blood on the marble floor. The victim is Joanna Moorehouse, founder of Sterling Financial. The killer could be any one of her associates.
Maggie knows that to crack the case, she and Jack will have to infiltrate the cutthroat world of high-stakes finance. But the offices of Sterling Financial seethe with potential suspects, every employee hellbent on making a killing.
When another officer uncovers disturbing evidence in a series of unrelated murders, the investigation takes a surprising detour.
Only Maggie recognizes the blood-soaked handiwork of a killer who has committed the most heinous of crimes—and will continue killing until he is stopped. Burdened with unbearable secrets, Maggie must make an agonizing choice, while her conscience keeps telling her: she’s next. | <urn:uuid:bc31a91a-7d77-4d2d-a59b-1b04a8908c70> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://mysterysequels.com/lisa-black-books-in-order/perish | 2023-09-21T14:36:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506028.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20230921141907-20230921171907-00372.warc.gz | en | 0.923135 | 216 |

(Narinjara News, 23 November 2014) :
Over 23 cadets of different ethnic army groups, including eight from Arakan army, were killed following the Burma army’s shell attacks on November 19 in Kachin dominated areas, which is adjacent to China, claimed an Arakan army report.
According to the report, Burma army battalion no 369 under the northern command staying at Kayar hill top near the KIO headquarter shelled over the cadet training school that inured over 16 cadets as well.
Among those killed in the incident, there were 11 cadets from Ta’ang national liberation army in eastern Shan state, 8 cadets from Arakan army, 2 cadets from Chin armed group and 2 cadets from Burma students democratic front.
The killed Arakan army cadets were identified as Kyaw Khant (21 years old) from Min Bya, Ko Soe Tin (23) from Kyauk Taw, Htet Htet Aung (alias) Khaing Htet Aung (24) from Kyauk Pru, Thein Than Naing (23) from Min Bya, Ran Lin Soe (21) from Pauk Taw with Khaing Htun (21), Aung Aung Than (23) and Ray Win Tun (23) from Sittwe.
Among those wounded 5 cadets were from Arakan army, where 3 cadets received severe injuries.
The Kachin independence army also confirmed about the casualties in the deadly attack and it accused the Burma army’s access in those areas since September this year.
Global New Light of Myanmar, an English daily of Burma also reported about the incident saying that the Tatmadaw army fired a warning shot of a large-caliber weapon on November 19 which accidentally fell and exploded over a Kachin militant camp causing the unwanted casualties. | <urn:uuid:a8de357d-21fd-4b78-98be-f0d231b863a8> | CC-MAIN-2018-30 | http://narinjara.com/8-arakan-army-cadets-got-killed-in-kachin/ | 2018-07-23T04:23:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-30/segments/1531676594886.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20180723032237-20180723052237-00106.warc.gz | en | 0.959944 | 395 |
….I’m told every time someone new greets me, their sincerity present in every word. I think the number of different things I’ve experienced in the last four months has already softened the memories I had of Kurdistan, of how warm and inviting everyone, almost without fail, really is.
Those that don’t smile at me immediately only act so out of their form of repressed curiosity. Much more so than Erbil I have the impression that I am a real outsider (and one of a small handful of expats). But in a good sense… those that don’t smile quickly always return one when I smile at them first. So the initial showing of curious stares or blank faces is only the first front of hospitality and open-heartedness.
Duhok lies to the northeast of Erbil, almost due north of the largest city of northern Iraq, the Islamic State- controlled Mosul. The city is tucked behind a small mountain ridge in the northeastern edge of the Zagros Mountains. South of the city the mountains flatten to the northern Iraqi plains on the Tigres River, eventually giving way to the vast expanses of the Syrian Desert. To the north, the mountain ridges increase in dramatic presence and size towards the Turkish border. Wherein Erbil I was about equidistant from the Iranian and Turkish borders, I am now much closer to both the Turkish and Syrian borders, in the extreme northwestern corner of Iraq. I have arrived during what is widely recognized as the ugliest part of the year- the hot and stuffy end of summer with haziness and temperatures still hovering above 100 Fahrenheit-and yet the rugged beauty of the surrounding mountain slopes and distant city edges climbing towards the peaks is obvious. Come winter and spring it will be stunning.
The rugged mountains enclosing Duhok and its narrow valley
Duhok is a growing city. The trend of the very recent past in Kurdistan is one of rapid modernization and urbanization. More and more Kurds are leaving their traditional villages in the rugged mountains and moving to cities in search of greater economic opportunities. Duhok, like Erbil, is an excellent example of this trend; this once small city now boasts a population of over a million and is still rapidly growing: consumerism, regional investment, and demand for westernization all pushing continued growth.
The other great factor contribution to Duhok’s growth in population is the mass influx of Syrian refugees and Iraqi IDP’s. For Syrians, Duhok represents the first plausible place to settle having crossed east from the international border. Across the street from my apartment is a nice little coffee shop serving Turkish coffee and cappuccinos. Both baristas are friendly young men, and both are Syrian refugees, having moved from Damascus and Aleppo with their families. My grocer three shops down is an Arab man, and new resident of Duhok from Mosul. Like Erbil, many service and tradesman jobs are being filled by young men escaping regions of Syria and Iraq experiencing terrible and continual violence and upheaval. My bike mechanic in Erbil and his three brothers are another example; all of them Syrian refugees from Kobane.
In truth, I don’t know this city in the slightest. I’ve been here only a week. I’ve spent that lone weekend wandering the city bazaar, and spend my weekdays building a long term plan for my classes’ curriculum and development. As soon as I have a chance to, I’m going to return to Erbil and buy a new motorcycle so I can continue my exploration of the Kurdish countryside as well as explore this city in depth.
In the meantime I’m going to continue exploring on foot, seeing whatever I see, meeting whoever I meet.

3D Printing at BCNY:
Using kid-friendly software programs that teaches the basics of 3D design, the Digital Design Team at Harriman Clubhouse developed keychain designs using Tinkercad and Cura. Members learned how to control and modify objects using Cura, which allowed them to translate objects into x & y planes to create the shapes and text they wanted to print. They also created cookie cutter designs through Cookiecaster, a program that allows you to customize your own cookie cutters, by creating shapes from images found online.
We’re extremely proud of the way our members and our staff have adapted to the constant evolution of arts programming.

- Thesis title: Exploring the use of performance measurement systems in Fijian small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the tourism industry
- Purpose: The study aims to examine how performance measurement systems (PMSs) are used by SMEs in Fijiís tourism industry, more specifically in the accommodation sub-sector.
- Originality: The understanding of PMSs in SMEs in developing countries has been a relatively unexplored area in management accounting research. By examining the factors that influence the adoption and use of PMSs by Fijian SME tourism ventures and by exploring the relationship between the use of PMSs and organisational capabilities, this study makes an original contribution to the relevant literatures.
- Key Literature/theoretical perspective: This study advances the management accounting literature on PMSs in the Fijian tourism SMEs context, using contingency theory, Simons levers of control framework and resource-based theory (RBT).
- Design/methodology/approach: A mixed-methods approach is adopted using three case studies and a web-based survey of SME hotel Owner-Managers. Data will be analysed using NVIVO for the case studies and multivariate data analysis for the survey using SPSS.
- Research limitations/implications: The study is limited to the hotel accommodation sub-sector, is industry-specific, size-specific, and based in a single country. Not all the constructs of contingency theory, Simons levers of control, RBT and organisational capabilities are tested.
- Practical and social implications: This research will have significant implications for tourism SME owner/managers, tourism support agencies, SME consultants, training providers and accountants.
- Keywords: Performance measurement systems, SMEs, tourism, Fiji, diagnostic and interactive controls, organisational capabilities | <urn:uuid:ba3754e5-c156-4542-b886-d8653c8f55c3> | CC-MAIN-2016-40 | http://www.businessandeconomics.mq.edu.au/phd_studies_research/phd_projects/current_projects/accg/lusiana_kanainabogi | 2016-09-25T07:08:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-40/segments/1474738660158.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20160924173740-00310-ip-10-143-35-109.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.836482 | 440 |
I love to stamp and colour but I also enjoy making cards from kits and Cd's and this is card is an example of a Box Card created with a fabulous foiled kit from Hunkydory with some extra embellishments. Unfortunately for me the term less is more does just not make sense.
The base of the card and the inside pages have been made from a sheet of A3 card and the size of the card is approx. 4.5" x 6" and I have made a little spine to take the depth of the contents. The backing paper is foiled and from my stash and I have used two 12" x 12" sheets to make the mounting panels and decoration. I have added lovely flowers from my stash and have made leaves and embellishments with various dies . I have used gold mirror card and the swirls look fab. There is a little greeting tag on the front of the card with tassel and ribbon and flower decoration.
Showing the front and back of the card with matching matting and embellishment.
Some of the inside panels of the card which fold out for display.

SOME 80 percent of children with different cancers are being diagnosed when it’s too late for them to be treated and cured of their ailments, Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals paediatric oncologist, Loyce Hlatywayo has said.
Hlatywayo said this during a tour of the hospital’s children’s ward and handover of goodies by Palestinian Ambassador Tamer Almassri in partnership with KidzCan Zimbabwe and Kindergarten Zimbabwe.
Hlatywayo told journalists, the ward at Parirenyatwa was being overburdened as it is the only ward dealing with children diagnosed with cancer in the whole of Zimbabwe.
“This is the only unit in Zimbabwe looking after children with cancer, so everyone comes from all over Zimbabwe as far as Plumtree, Chipinge to come and seek care for childhood cancer,” Hlatywayo said.
“On average we have at least 17 patients admitted in the ward and every day we see at least 15 patients that are coming in for outpatients’ chemotherapy. What we see is that our children come very late, 80 percent of our children can actually be cured of cancer if they come in early but our situation in Zimbabwe is that they are coming in very late,” she said.
“There are what we call red flags, any abnormal mass, any lump that is growing but usually painless and not explained by infection, any loss of weight that is unexplained, any fever, any white cataract in your child’s eye, any bleeding that is unexplained,” she added.
“These are some of the red flags we would like to get to the public. We are admitting to three new cancers every week.”
Almassri urged delegates present to increase awareness on cancers affecting children after handing over toiletries and clothing amongst other stuff to the ward.
According to Cancer Association of Zimbabwe, cancer in children is rare and overall, 80 percent of childhood cancer cases can be successfully treated.
“However, in Zimbabwe many children continue to die from childhood cancers due to late diagnosis, HIV and Aids pandemic and poor health standards,” says the association. | <urn:uuid:6e0b5cf7-35f6-4713-9a91-c25602ad33cc> | CC-MAIN-2022-21 | http://infinitehealthnews.co.zw/index.php/2021/10/06/child-cancer-patients-coming-in-too-late-for-treatment/ | 2022-05-24T18:46:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-21/segments/1652662573189.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20220524173011-20220524203011-00572.warc.gz | en | 0.966499 | 469 |
For most of his adult life Severt Young Bear stood in the light—in the center ring at powwows and other gatherings of Lakota people. As founder and, for many years, lead singer of the Porcupine Singers, a traditional singing and drumming group, he also stood, figuratively, in the light of understanding the cherished Lakota heritage.
Young Bear’s own life in Brotherhood Community, Porcupine District of the Pine Ridge Sioux Reservation, is the linchpin of this narrative, which ranges across the landscape of Dakota culture, from the significance of names to the search for modern Lakota identity, from Lakota oral traditions to powwows and giveaways, from child-rearing practices to humor and leadership. “Music is at the center of Lakota life,” says Young Bear; he describes in rich detail the origins and varieties of Lakota song and dance. A descendant of chiefs and of Wounded Knee survivors, he recounts his role in Wounded Knee II 1973 and his association with the AIM Song. | <urn:uuid:10a37bce-5c2e-4a76-897c-8e850550d8d5> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.wordcarrier.com/product-page/standing-in-the-light-a-lakota-way-of-seeing | 2020-08-15T10:31:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439740838.3/warc/CC-MAIN-20200815094903-20200815124903-00019.warc.gz | en | 0.937073 | 220 |
