The new Foursquare (version 3.0) should be available for download now. This is one of those must have upgrades due to all of the added functionality that has been deployed. Now Foursquare is a lot smarter and more social as Foursquare has complied nearly ALL of the checkin data logged since its inception in order to bring you recommendations on where you should check-in and more options, features and rewards when you do.
Nobody REALLY knows the secret sauce that goes into the recommendation engine that spits out places you should go via the new Explore Tab, but the new feature gives you a reason as to why this place was recommended. Based on my
goofing with it experiments, the recommendations are based on a number of factors including how often you or friends check-in, related locations you have checked into, tips others have left, etc. So now, instead of picking a place and checking in, it's more likely you will open Foursquare to help you pick a place to check-in.
Another added feature is extended check-in statistics under the "Me" tab. There you will see a revised leader board, complete with a 7-day review of the points you have and who in your circle of friends has the most points for that week. The Me tab also shows your Most Explored Categories, Top Places, the tips you've left and total number of friends.
As far as points are concerned, based on your check-in history, you can rack up more points based on different actions. For example, if you've never checked in to a Sushi joint, you just may get additional points the next time your friends drag you to the "hottest Sushi joint in town". "Visting new cities, getting groups together, hanging out with old friends, and a few things you might not expect" are just some of the factors that go into how points are dished out.
Finally, you don't have to be Mayor of a Foursquare-friendly business to get cool offers, discounts, and special treatment, the new upgrade comes packed with "six new types of foursquare specials for merchants. Businesses will now be able to offer specials to swarms, groups of friends, regulars, newbies, Mayors, or simply everyone." Of course, the coveted Mayor spot is still an advantageous trophy to add to your collection.
While most, if not all of these new features will be rolled out to iPhone and Android users just in time for SXSW 2011, BlackBerry, WP7 and Symbian users will have to wait a while to partake of all the added features, but according the Foursquare blog, they are coming. | <urn:uuid:d4bd11ac-2465-4ae5-bd2c-cc809fc4bbec> | CC-MAIN-2017-04 | http://appscout.pcmag.com/none/268649-foursquare-3-0-the-real-foursquare-emerges | 2017-01-20T12:04:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-04/segments/1484560280834.29/warc/CC-MAIN-20170116095120-00561-ip-10-171-10-70.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.958518 | 556 |

IT WAS a cry to chill one to the core. “What’s the point?” Helen Crook shrieked, a public release amid the private agonies of defeat by Julie Pullin, the former champion, in the National Tennis Championships. She smacked her racket with Safinesque force into the carpet and then the lights went out.

We think of bream as being super easy to catch because they congregate in such large numbers but are their “smart” bream?
The bigger breeders with the best genetics of all fish in my opinion are much harder to catch (probably throughout their life cycles) than others and have a predisposition to not being fooled. I have caught some huge bream on a friend of mine’s pond this year and had the best luck on the biggest using flurocarbon line in the fairly clear water there. All of my big ones have came on fluorocarbon line and in most cases I have caught bigger fish than the people next to me fishing mono.
Is it a coincidence but does the visibility of the line make a difference?
During spawn time they are aggressive but these fish were not on the beds and they can get spooky there.

How to Lie With Statistics (in the Age of Big Data)
When I emailed my mom last month to tell her the awesome news about the book I’m writing she emailed me back the following:
i.e, A modern-day How to Lie with Statistics (1954), avail on Amazon
for $9.10. Love, Mom
That was her whole email. She’s never been very verbose, in person or electronically. Too busy hacking.
Even so, she gave me enough to go on, and I bought the book and recently read it. It was awesome and I recommend it to anyone who hasn’t read it – or read it recently. It’s a quick read and available as a free pdf download here.
The goal of the book is to demonstrate all the ways marketers, journalists, accountants, and sometimes even statisticians can bias your interpretation of statistical facts or even just confuse you into thinking something is true when it’s not. It’s illustrated as well, which is fun and often funny.
The author does things like talk about how you can present graphs to be very misleading – my favorite, because it happens to be my pet peeve, is the “growth chart” where the y-axis goes from 1400 to 1402 so things look like they’ve grown a huge amount because “0” isn’t represented anywhere. Or of course the chart that has no numbers at all so you don’t know what you’re looking at.
There are a few things that don’t translate: so for example, he has a big thing about how people say “average” but they don’t specify whether they mean “arithmetic mean” or “median.” Nowadays this is taken to mean the former (am I wrong?).
And also, it’s fascinating to see how culture has changed – many of his examples that involve race would be very different nowadays, and issues around women, and the idea that you could run a randomized experiment to give half the people polio vaccines and withhold them from the other half, when polio is a real threat that leaves children paralyzed, is really strange.
Also, many of the examples – there are hundreds – refer to the Great Depression and the recovery since then, and the assumptions are bizarrely different in 1954 than you see in 2014 (and I’d guess different than how it will be in 2024 but I hope I’m wrong). Specifically, it seems that many of the lies that people are propagating with statistics are to downplay their profits so as to not seem excessive. Can you imagine?!
One of the reasons I read this book, of course, was to see if my book really is a modern version of that one. And I have to say that many of the issues do not translate, but some of them do, in interesting ways.
Even the reason that many of them don’t is kind of interesting: in the age of big data, we often don’t even see charts of data so how can we be misled by them? In other words, the presumption is that the data is so big as to be inaccessible. Google doesn’t bother showing us the numbers. Plus they don’t have to since we use their services anyway.
The most transferrable tips on how to lie with statistics probably stem from discussions on the following topics:
- Selection bias (things like, of the people who responded to our poll, they are all happy with our service)
- Survivorship bias (things like, companies that have been in the S&P for 30 years have great stock performance)
- Confusing people about topic A by discussing a related but not directly relevant topic B. This is described in the book as a “semi-attached figure”
The last one is the most relevant, I believe. In the age of big data, and partly because the data is “too big” to take a real look at, we spend an amazing amount of time talking about how a model is measuring something we care about (teachers’ value, or how good a candidate is for a job) when in fact the model is doing something quite different (test scores, demographic data).
If we were aware of those discrepancies we’d have way more skepticism, but we’re intimidated by the size of the data and the complexity of the models.
A final point. For the most part that crucial big data issue of complexity isn’t addressed in the book. It kind of makes me pine for the olden days, except not really if I’m black, a woman, or at risk of being exposed to polio.
UPDATES: First, my bad for not understanding that, at the time, the polio vaccine wasn’t known to work, or even be harmful, so of course there were trials. I was speaking from the perspective of the present day when it seems obvious that it works. For that matter I’m not even sure it was the particular vaccine that ended up working that was being tested.

Black Butter Records is a formerly independent record label based in London, England that releases various styles of electronic music. It was founded in 2010 by Olly Wood, Henry Village and Joe Gossa, with an investment of £5,000, and was named after a brand of condiments that had the same name. It was intended initially as an outlet for musicians who were signed to their artist management company, Stackhouse Management, and as a reaction against other labels that were "genre specific".

As is inevitable with black metal, after another pummelling breakdown, Ihsahn’s screeching wails slice through the mix, hissing words that punctuate I Am The Black Wizards’ clear dark fantasy theme: a lyrical concept that was the bread-and-butter of early Norwegian heaviness. It’s similar to Quorthon in Bathory. He was inspired by Motörhead and he wanted to sing about girls and driving fast cars, but he was only 16: he didn’t have a girlfriend and he definitely didn’t have a driver’s licence | <urn:uuid:27218c24-47a0-4781-ad34-a3ea76d432e1> | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | https://music.m-bandmusic.com/41724/the-last-slice-of-butterthe-black-black-black-the-last-slice-of-butterthe-black-black-black-download-mp3-album.html | 2020-02-17T22:05:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875143373.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20200217205657-20200217235657-00232.warc.gz | en | 0.935598 | 651 |
As you know, we have moved into the Eastern shores of our USA and have expanded our shopping cart to include more convenient features. Our first move in July encountered some technological challenges and did not allow us to utilize the shopping cart maximally, a fact that did not sit well with Seann and I. Although the warehouse team worked hard to please all of us, we wanted to find a solution that is wide enough to include all of our wishes.
Our own wonderful IT team has worked beautifully to create an advanced, open system shopping cart. We all know how important it is to have the ability to hop online and get what we need, whenever we need it, track it, and know at all times what is going on. We do live in a fast paced world that dispenses information quickly. So that is exactly what we have been looking for—technology, support, speed, information, and enjoyability (is there such a word? I think it is important to enjoy our working environment).
As some of you know, our second move has been amazingly smooth and very exciting! Our team has expanded to include what I term a cooperative-styled operation (akin to a kibbutz system, which is my specialty). The ordering, shipping, customer service, and technology (shopping cart and the information it provides, bridging into other systems, and communicating with you) work in tandem to offer the kind of support that is efficient, faster, better, and, yes, even fun.
Call the customer service team (1-866-376-3854) for orders, tracking packages, issues, etc. They are very ready for you. Matter of fact, when Seann called to ensure the number works well, Jean was hoping it would be one of you! Our hours are EST for ordering and shipping but because we are bi-coastal, please feel free to continue to call us in the Pacific NW as well, we love talking with you!
In the next few months we will start working on a project you have continually asked for—expanding the shopping cart to offer your patients the ability to order retail directly from BioImmersion, with your special code that will allow them entrance and for both of you and your patients to track what they do purchase. It will give you the ability to work together with us and your patients who are living far from you or need to purchase one of the products you have on their protocols quickly. We will let you know how this progresses and are open to your feedback and suggestions!!
Take great care and remember as the cold season approaches, garlic is a powerful food to fight the flue, sore throats, and colds. Open a capsule or two in a glass of warmish water, add one teaspoon of the Original Synbiotic to boost your immune system, let sit for a minute, and drink up!
Both Seann and I send you our warmest wishes!

This is a photo from the trunk of the Tree of Life sculpture that stands as a 145 foot icon at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park in Florida. A branch becomes an elephant’s trunk, a root a snake, each figure seamlessly flowing into another, with nearly 400 animals carved in its trunk. It is built to withstand hurricanes. Can we not with human hands constructure our environment in a way that protects diversity of life within the biosphere?
The Forward Thinking mission is to inspire participation within the medical community so that we all come to the table/take to the streets in greater numbers, to join in the momentus battle to stop the human caused destruction of our planet. To that extent each week I add new contacts for us to check out, consider and learn from.
This week it’s Grist. I just discovered them and they’ve been right under my nose, right in my own neighborhhod since 1999. And to boot, they’ve been rated as one of the top green-new website out there. They say that they are one green site that you can count on to help you make sense of it all.
For example, there seems to be a bit of controversy on whether the Arctic Ice cap is really melting. Grist speaks out with this great video:

Survivors of abuse find shelter at UN Women-supported Peace House in Viet Nam
Author: Thao Hoang
Can Tho, Viet Nam — Still only 17, the girl has endured a life full of violence and abuse, inflicted by the very people who are supposed to look after and love her. Now she may have finally found some measure of peace.After her father abandoned the family, the girl was raped by her uncle, then punished by her mother.
“I had been sexually abused by my uncle since I was a teenager,” she said. “My mom thought that was my fault and asked me to keep silent. She hit me many times and during the COVID-19 pandemic, it escalated.”
The police rescued the girl last year when she was three months pregnant and arrested the uncle and mother. The girl was given safe accommodation and other supported services at the Peace House shelter in Can Tho, the biggest city in the Mekong Delta of Southern Viet Nam.
She gave birth while staying the shelter with four other women who had fled violence.
The people at Peace House collected money to pay for the girl’s hospital birth and things for her baby daughter.
“My baby cries a lot in the evening. All sisters at the house help me to take care of her,” the girl told a UN Women staff member. “They are my true family.”
The two-room shelter is modest and so short of funds that the staff had to cover the window with posters to fend off the hot sun until UN Women donated curtains and other essential facilities and equipment in March 2021. But the residents are given clothes, food, health care, legal and psychological support, and vocational training.
The National Study on Violence against Women in Viet Nam, done in 2019, found that 63 per cent of women experienced at least one form of violence from an intimate partner during their lifetime; 4.4 per cent of all women had experienced child sexual abuse before the age of 15; and 5.6 per cent of 15–19-year-olds reported they had experienced such abuse. The COVID-19 pandemic has heightened that risk. In 2020, calls and text messages to the country’s three Peace House shelters, in Can Tho and Ha Noi, increased seven times compared to 2019 and the number of survivors seeking shelter increased 40 per cent.
“We have been uninterruptedly supporting thousands of women and children survivors of violence, but there are limited resources in terms of facilities and services for them in the shelters. Essential things like baby cribs, beds, mattresses, blankets, electric equipment, and so on … are urgently needed,” said Duong Ngoc Linh, Director of the Center for Women and Development, the Government-affiliated organization that manages the shelters.
UN Women has responded with support worth VND 2.4 billion (USD 98,000), funded by the Australian Government. In November 2020 and March this year, the agency upgraded the shelters’ Internet and telephone systems for the 24/7 maintenance of the hotline and provided household furnishings and appliances. UN Women also gave training on crisis counselling and trauma-informed care to the social workers who staff the shelters.
After the systems upgrade, the Peace House Hotline received 603 calls during the last two months of 2020, compared to 786 calls during the five months before that. Also, during the two-month period, 181 female survivors of violence received Peace House counselling and referrals to police, health care and justice services and 30 were admitted to the shelters.
“We believe that each successful call to the hotline is a lifesaver for the survivors,” said Elisa Fernandez Saenz, Country Representative of UN Women.
The girl who was abused by her uncle and mother was excited when a UN Women staff member told her that her room would soon have new furnishings including a baby crib and tub, and a sewing machine that she can use for vocational training and to make clothes for her daughter. Always with a smile on her face, the girl is nevertheless sad that she will need to leave the shelter soon (the maximum stay is six months).
“Worldwide, COVID-19 has painfully exposed inequalities and trauma borne by many groups, including women and children. It has revealed a scale of suffering within households that we cannot ignore,” said Andrew Barnes, Deputy Head of Mission of the Australian Embassy. “There is much work left to do and we commend the front-line staff, in particular, who work tirelessly in this effort.” | <urn:uuid:6166e8a0-2aae-4d86-86bb-00127c7592bf> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://asiapacific.unwomen.org/en/news-and-events/stories/2021/04/survivors-of-abuse-find-shelter-at-un-women | 2022-09-27T15:17:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030335034.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20220927131111-20220927161111-00007.warc.gz | en | 0.977956 | 950 |
WhatsApp has been testing business accounts since the beginning of the year, but this is the first time the service has baked brand marketing into its terms.
There are no official tools available to brands yet, but the terms of service pave the way for marketers to start using the platform.
It plans to allow businesses to talk to customers about orders, appointments, delivery, shipping, product and service updates and marketing offers.
According to the company's blog, "Messages you may receive containing marketing could include an offer for something that might interest you."
But it said the aim was to avoid a "spammy" experience, the company still does not allow banner ads on its platform.
Brands could use the platform to send flight status notifications, receipts or delivery notifications, for example.
Raluca Efford, head of digital and social engagement at Direct Line Group, said businesses' "desire to sell" must come second to consumer needs on a platform such as WhatsApp.
''A look at how Chinese brands have approached WeChat will provide a good starting point for any brands.
"Clearly, there are lots of differences between China and the UK, however, no one can deny WeChat's phenomenal success, so it'd be smart to take some learnings from their experience."
Users will be able to control communications for brands, though WhatsApp hasn't outlined how.
As part of another key change, WhatsApp is now handing more data about users to its parent company Facebook. The social network will now use WhatsApp data, such as phone numbers, to inform what ads and offers to show users.
The changes do not give Facebook access to the content of messages or account information. Nor does it allow Facebook to publish phone numbers. Users can choose not to see more targeted ads on Facebook through their WhatsApp settings. | <urn:uuid:fce2d1f0-3342-4074-8a51-9f70cb06d6d2> | CC-MAIN-2017-51 | https://www.campaignlive.co.uk/article/whatsapp-update-paves-brands-message-users/1406899 | 2017-12-15T14:13:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-51/segments/1512948572676.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20171215133912-20171215155912-00671.warc.gz | en | 0.958243 | 371 |

The agreement, formally announced during an address by Universities Australia Chair Professor Sandra Harding at the National Press Club in Canberra today, comes as the Federal Government and G 20 Ministers commit to a new target for growing the global economy by an additional two per cent.
Signatories to the agreement are: Universities Australia, Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Business Council of Australia, Australian Industry Group, and the Australian Collaborative Education Network Ltd.
The plan is part of a broader effort, advocated and supported by the Chief Scientist and the Australian Workforce and Productivity Agency among others, to deepen relationships between universities, entrepreneurs, industry and communities.
Chief Executive of Universities Australia Belinda Robinson said the agreement would intensify and widen the critical partnerships that will lift employment, productivity and international competitiveness.
“With jobs lost as the economy adjusts to the closure of some manufacturing plants, it is vital that we foster an environment that promotes entrepreneurship and innovation in lifting growth and expanding employment opportunities,” Ms Robinson said.
“The plan means university graduates gain the work skills they need to make best use of their up-to-date knowledge and prepare them for the workplace.
“Employers benefit by better utilising skilled productive workers. These are the practical elements that help foster a flexible economy able to generate and take advantage of the latest knowledge, innovation and research,” Ms Robinson said.
The plan involves universities and businesses continuing to identify, promote and disseminate further opportunities for Work Integrated Learning (WIL).
Work Integrated Learning includes activities such as work placements accredited for university course work, mentoring and shadowing programs, and internships.
Universities and business groups have agreed to establish a baseline of current practice, identifying further opportunities and a program of assessment for reporting progress.
Ms Robinson added that the Government’s plan to cut university red-tape is helping to create environments for initiatives such as these.
“The more confidence universities have that they can dedicate crucial resources to partnerships like this, rather than on productivity-sapping red-tape, means the more time that can be directed to such positive initiatives,” Ms Robinson said.
WIL and deepening relationships between universities and business is a major topic of Universities Australia’s Higher Education Conference held in Canberra on 26-28th February.

The interface and design of the casino and the site take you to one of the classic Las Vegas casinos so that you can experience all the delights of online gambling. In this review, we will tell you everything about BoVegas online casino.
On this casino site, you will not find any bright colours and provocative banners, as there are only neon tabs, so you can fully immerse yourself in the atmosphere of one of the many Vegas casinos without leaving your home. The most important tabs are at the top of the home page, where you can find: intriguing games, exciting promos, important banking details, the fantastic range of VIP programs on offer here, and some general information about BoVegas casino. Contact information is available on the home page, where you can find phone numbers and a toll-free call line. Log-in and sign-up icons you can find on the home page, so you don’t have to search for a long time. You can customize the site language by choosing English, French or Arabic.
The central part of the site pages are available to all users and contains a lot of useful information, both for novice players and experienced users of online casinos. However, we have not yet figured out what happens when you press the simulator lever of the slot machine. Most likely, a secret code will appear on the screen, the use of which will bring you precious bonuses.

BoVegas Casino Promotions & Bonuses
No Deposit Bonus & Free Spins
If you want to use No Deposit Bonuses or Free Spins, we recommend that you first carefully read the rules of the promotion so as not to lose money. Regulations and restrictions vary from stock to stock and may depend on the country you are in and the currency you have chosen. Most often, you can use Free Spins and Bonus Code only on specific slots, so be careful before starting the game. And remember that if you continuously trade the No Deposit Bonus, moderators may block your funds for withdrawal.
You will receive the Bonus Code automatically as soon as you complete the registration process and find yourself in the lobby of the casino, where you need to select the “Cashier” section and copy your Bonus Code. Remember, it is best to use your Bonus before starting to play with new deposits so that your funds do not burn out. For any questions or problems with your Bonus Code, you can contact the support service, which is available 24/7 at the phone number indicated in the “Contacts” section or use the live chat.
The bonus system is one of the best parts of BoVegas Casino. To start playing on the slot, you do not always need to spend your deposit. You can use the bonus and save your money. The bonus is credited as a percentage of your deposit. Now we will tell you in more detail how everything works so that you choose the bonus that is most interesting to you.
If your deposit is $ 50 or more, you can get 295% bonus + 10 Free Spins. If your deposit is $ 80 or more, take the opportunity and get 100 Free Spins on CUBEE with the code TIMETRAVEL.
In general, a bonus is a good thing both for the players and for the casino itself, because of free spins fuel interest in the game. Review bonuses periodically to make sure you don’t miss out on the best deals.
Before entering your bonus code, remember that there are wagering requirements. It is the number of games and spins that a player must complete before using the bonus. Wagering requirements are an essential part of getting a bonus, without which your bonus will expire. We advise you to read the BoVegas casino review of other BoVegas casino users to choose the most profitable bonus.

Online Slots, Table Games, Live Casino… and What Else?
Slots are one of the most critical components of casinos, both real casinos and online. However, on the BoVegas casino website, you can also find table games and even video poker. We believe that it is practically a crime to use only slots on the BoVegas casino website, especially all those bonuses that other activities can get.
As for board games, there are 15 of them. On the BoVegas Casino site, you can find both classic games like Blackjack and more exciting options. For example, Vegas Three Card Rummy or Aces & Eights. Each board game has its own rules, which you can familiarize yourself with if you click the “More Information” button. Develop your strategic skills while playing one of the video poker deluxe options, such as Double Double Bonus Poker Deluxe or Aces & Eights. Well, if you are a fan of special games, have fun playing American Roulette, Bonus Poker or Match Play 21. As for the real-time games with a live dealer, they are all provided by Visionary iGaming, in the list of games with a live dealer you will find games such as Baccarat and Super6, and of course the progressive jackpots. Live dealer games are good to experience the feeling of being in a casino without leaving your home. Deposit 25$ and start playing!

How to find your ideal podcast episode length
Is there an ideal podcast length?
Since 2015, I’ve shipped 1000s of episodes and earned millions of downloads via my two podcasts. When I first started out I recorded long, epic conversations with my guests and then I cut my podcast episodes in half.
The data told me too.
For this process to work you need to put your ego to the side because what you find out might hurt.
Over the years I’ve learned that I love my work much more than others. So from an objective point-of-view, I should let the data tell me what is working.
How to find your listener data
I use Libsyn for podcast hosting and distribution.
Libsyn will tell you all sorts of interesting data like:
- Downloads per day
- Downloads per episode
- Downloads per destination (Libsyn or Player.FM)
- Downloads per country (138 listeners in Ghana — my favorite west African country!)
- Downloads per user agent (Apple or Spotify)
But this data won’t tell you what you need to determine your best podcast episode length.
For that, you need to log into Podcasts Connect and use your Apple ID to login.
This will bring you to a screen that shows your podcasts. Here are mine (I just launched a third “archive” show because Apple only allows you to have 300 episodes per feed and I don’t want to lose the content from my main show).
Click on “podcast analytics” to get the data you need.
Note: The only drawback to Podcasts Connect is that it only reports Apple statistics. It’s not a deal breaker. Apple is the largest provider of podcast listens, so I think it is safe to generalize what you are seeing here.
How to analyze your listener data
Below is a screenshot of the analytics of my main show, The Better Leaders Better Schools Podcast.
You’ll see that my shows range from 30–46 minutes. Average consumption ranges from 43–65%. The time per device column does the math for me so my audience is listening between 15–25 minutes per show.
Here I’m only showing the data for the shows released at the beginning of 2021.
Let’s hold those numbers in our minds and look at my second podcast for some more info.
The School Leadership Series is different. It’s Monday-Friday and always less than 5 minutes. Does that matter?
Each show here is either 3 or 4 minutes in length. Consumption ranges from 76–95%. The time per device is between 2–4 minutes. Although we don’t see it in this span of shows, it is not uncommon to see an above 100% listen rate, like below:
How to respond to the data
So I have some choices to make.
If my priority was to increase the consumption rate, then my analysis tells me two things:
- Create a show around 20 minutes, or
- Find the shows with the highest listen rates and create more shows on those topics
From my creator’s perspective, I’d find it hard to have the kind of in-depth conversation I want to have with my guest so creating a 15–25 minute show would be quite a stretch.
My second podcast tells me that the shorter the show the better (in terms of consumption rate).
This data also tells me some episodes are much better than others. For example, “Reflection Questions for 2021,” shows that my audience will listen more than once because they see it as massively valuable. Check out that episode for yourself. Listen here on Apple or Spotify (subscribe if you enjoyed it).
My goal for this post was to be transparent about how my podcasts perform. Represented here was data from two shows with 1000s of episodes and millions of downloads. I hope you can learn from a behind-the-scenes peek at one platform’s performance. | <urn:uuid:5fcb3b8c-58c3-46a0-a882-f334b8c012c3> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://alienearbud.medium.com/how-to-find-your-ideal-podcast-episode-length-a8581db0259f | 2022-01-28T06:24:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320305420.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20220128043801-20220128073801-00047.warc.gz | en | 0.935679 | 832 |
Check Download Progress on the Mac App Store
Outside of watching the little progress bar on the downloading apps icon in LaunchPad or the Dock, there isn’t much of an outward display of how downloads are progressing from the App Store in OS X. Instead, more specific information about download progress and download speed is contained within the Mac App Store app itself, though it may not be completely obvious upon first glance. Here’s how you can check the transfer details in the Mac App Store:
How to See Download Progress of Apps Coming from the Mac App Store
Want a general idea of an app downloads progress? Here’s what to do:
- From the Mac App Store, click on the “Purchases” tab to see the active list
- Locate the app(s) you are downloading that you want to check
This will show you the download progress bar, the total downloaded out of the total download size, and an estimation of time remaining until the app has completed downloading and is ready for use. Here’s what it looks like:
This is the same in all versions of OS X that have the Mac App Store, meaning anything beyond 10.6.
How to Determine App Store Download Speeds
You can also check the download speed of apps coming in through the Mac App Store, easily too:
- Click on the progress bar of the app in question to see the download speed
If you’re looking at multiple apps speeds, you’ll need to click on each progress bar per app separately. Thanks for that little tip Henry! Scratch this:
Somewhat disappointingly, it doesn’t show you the actual download speed but you can always obtain that information elsewhere manually. | <urn:uuid:10ec0cef-f099-4b70-a3d7-1177559fe669> | CC-MAIN-2015-22 | http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/27/check-download-progress-mac-app-store/ | 2015-05-29T04:12:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-22/segments/1432207929869.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20150521113209-00063-ip-10-180-206-219.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.889208 | 360 |
longacre writes "Erik Sofge trudges through NASA's latest free video game, which he finds tedious, uninspiring and misguided. Quoting: 'Moonbase Alpha is a demo, of sorts, for NASA's more ambitious upcoming game, Astronaut: Moon, Mars & Beyond, which will feature more destinations, and hopefully less welding. The European Space Agency is developing a similar game, set on the Jovian Moon, Europa. But Moonbase Alpha proves that as a recruiting campaign, or even as an educational tool, the astronaut simulation game is a lost cause. Unless NASA plans to veer into science fiction and populate its virtual moons, asteroids and planets with hostile species, it's hard to imagine why anyone would want to suffer through another minute of pretending to weld power cables back into place, while thousands of miles away, the most advanced explorers ever built are hurtling toward asteroids and dwarf planets and into the heart of the sun. Even if it was possible to build an astronaut game that's both exciting and realistic, why bother? It will be more than a decade before humans even attempt another trip outside of Earth's orbit. If NASA wants to inspire the next generation of astronauts and engineers, its games should focus on the real winners of the space race — the robots.'" | <urn:uuid:9df3c549-5d1d-4444-aa2e-e37d5f258025> | CC-MAIN-2014-15 | http://beta.slashdot.org/story/139354 | 2014-04-23T21:06:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-15/segments/1398223203422.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20140423032003-00517-ip-10-147-4-33.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.943021 | 261 |
New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy delivered the keynote address; WomenRising was recognized with the College’s 2019 Heritage Award.
May 30, 2019, Jersey City, NJ – This evening, Hudson County Community College (HCCC) honored its Class of 2019 with a joyful Commencement celebration at New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC) in Newark, NJ. The event marked the 42nd Commencement celebration in the College’s 45-year history.
Clad in green caps and gowns, the soon-to-be graduates processed into the NJPAC theater and were greeted with rousing applause from family, friends, elected officials, the College’s Board of Trustees, the HCCC Foundation Board of Directors, and the College’s administrators, faculty and staff.
Hudson County Executive Thomas A. DeGise offered congratulations to the Class of 2019 and invited them to work with him and the College to make the future brighter for everyone in the County. Mr. DeGise then introduced New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy, who delivered the keynote address. Governor Murphy launched the Community College Opportunity Grant (CCOG) program in January. Thanks to that program, over 740 HCCC students received CCOG awards totaling nearly $800,000.
The College’s 2019 Heritage Award was presented to WomenRising. Sr. Roseann Mazzeo, S.C., the nonprofit organization's Executive Director, accepted the award. Hudson County Community College collaborates with WomenRising in the highly successful Community Partnerships in Hotel Employment program, which provides job training and placement in the hospitality industry.
Another highlight of the evening was Jersey City resident Deborah Acevedo’s valedictory speech. Ms. Acevedo graduated Summa Cum Laude with a 4.0 grade-point average. She will attend New Jersey City University with a full scholarship.
In addressing the graduates, HCCC President Dr. Chris Reber said: “Our society needs professionals like you, who possess skills for leadership and accomplishment; a dedication to service; caring for others; a genuine concern for the environment and for sustainable living; and an understanding of the importance of embracing collaboration and diversity, across and within communities.”
With 1,383 graduates, the Class of 2019 is the largest in Hudson County Community College’s history. | <urn:uuid:40544b64-f686-4cc3-b5dd-fdb235320123> | CC-MAIN-2020-05 | http://hccc.edu/templates/PBNewsDetail.aspx?id=14099 | 2020-01-20T17:23:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-05/segments/1579250599718.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20200120165335-20200120194335-00345.warc.gz | en | 0.936865 | 487 |
On New Year’s Eve morning, I told Chris to pick out a dessert for the evening. See, I love cooking and baking but sometimes I hate coming up with ideas for what to cook or bake. I went and took a shower and when I came back, he showed me a recipe for Young’s Double Chocolate Stout Brownies. Obviously he would pick a dessert involving beer, right? But we’re both big fans of Young’s Double Chocolate Stout and it was definitely a dessert I could get behind.
We pretty much spent our New Year’s Eve hanging out in the kitchen sipping champagne and goofing off. And playing with the new flash Chris’s dad got us for the Canon Rebel 2Ti. We ended up with A LOT of photos. Which is also how we ended up with the fun video you see at the end of this post.
I changed up the original recipe a bit… mainly because it was written using the metric system. I don’t like math and converting things and I wish the world would just use the same system already. Blergh. Anyway, I converted it for you. You’re welcome. And Happy New Year
Young’s Double Chocolate Stout Brownies (makes about 16 brownies):
• 1 C Young’s Double Chocolate Stout
• 5 oz. plain chocolate (I used Ghiradelli bittersweet 60% cacao)
• 3/4 C unsalted butter (1.5 sticks)
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 2/3 C flour
• 1/2 C cocoa powder
• 2 large eggs
Have you tried Young’s Double Chocolate Stout before? Even if you’re not a beer fan, I think you might enjoy this. I mean, it’s chocolate! And it’s delicious.
Start off by pouring the beer into a measuring cup and setting it aside to let the foam settle.
Wear a cute apron if you have one. Lucky me, my friend Erin gave me this adorable one for my birthday. I’m pretty much in love with it! And it just happened to kind of match my outfit…
Get out your double boiler or build a makeshift one like I do (just boil a pot of water water and place a heat-safe bowl over that. Lower water to a simmer).
Break the chocolate into the bowl with the diced butter.
Stir until melted.
Remove from heat and make sure the mixture is nice and smooth. Then beat in the sugar. I used my hand mixer. And allow the mixture to cool to lukewarm.
Whisk together the flour and cocoa powder and set aside.
Beat the eggs into the chocolate/butter mixture…
Until it looks glossy.
Then stir in the chocolate stout.
And fold in the flour/cocoa mixture.
My mixture was super lumpy, so I used the hand mixer to smooth it out, without over-beating.
It still had a few lumps, but I figured it was just fine.
Now pour the mixture into an 8×8 pan covered in parchment paper. You might be able to simply grease the pan if you want, as covering a square pan in parchment paper is somewhat of a pain. However, if you want an excellent tutorial on how to cover the pan, I suggest this one.
Pour the batter evenly into the pan.
And pop it in the oven for 20-22 minutes at 365 degrees.
Let the smell of chocolate permeate your kitchen.
Remove the pan from the oven. Let cool in pan.
If you used parchment paper, you can easily lift the brownies out of the pan before cutting.
Cut into 16 squares.
Marvel at how these are more like pure fudge than brownies. And how excited you are to try them. Especially since they were made with beer! Chocolate beer!
Make sure you have a can of beer ready to drink along with your brownies.
OK, fine champagne will do, too. It was New Year’s Eve, so we had to pour some bubbles!
Plus, the lovely couple sitting next to us at Grafton Street bought us this bottle after we got engaged.
Oh yes, the brownies. WOW. I’m not even sure I would describe these as brownies. They were more like squares of fudge. So yes, you have to be a fudgy brownie person to like these. Which I most certainly am.
The stout definitely wasn’t overpowering, but you could tell it was there. And I absolutely loved that.
OK, now don’t laugh. But we decided New Year’s Eve totally called for some flavored alcohol-infused whipped cream. I’m not even a fan of whipped cream, but this caramel one? SO good. I will be making milkshakes with this STAT.
And it was absolutely perfect to top the brownie with. Yes, I realize that I just made a brownie with a stout and topped it with an alcohol-infused whipped cream. No, these brownies are not for children.
But if you are an adult, you will enjoy this immensely.
The next morning, Chris was going through all the photos we took and said “there’s so many photos, it actually looks like a movie.” So, we decided to make one. It actually looks like I’m making the brownies… You’ll also see me making the cinnamon rolls that I’ll be posting about later this week (and some shots of the delicious steak tips we made from the Meat House). This movie is so much fun, I’m thinking we might have to make them more often!
So, that’s how I got my New Year’s off to a great start.

[Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5]
With the recent release of our cloud-powered controls for Windows Phone 8, now is a great time to begin using them. Using these components, they can help you create an application that stores its data in the cloud that can be easily accessed by multiple users on multiple devices. In this blog post, I will walk you through several of the cloud-powered controls currently available and teach you how to use them in your app. We’ll create an app called “AppointmentTracker”, which allows users to store information about upcoming appointments and so forth.
Before we can get started, make sure that you have the latest bits installed. The Q3 2013 release contains both our traditional components as well as our cloud components.
After you have installed our controls, you will find several new templates. The one we are interested in working with today is called “Telerik Cloud Powered Windows Phone App” as shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1: The new cloud template installed with RadControls for Windows Phone 8.
The “Telerik Cloud Powered Windows Phone App” template is where we are going to begin, so select it and give it a name and press OK.
After doing so, you will be presented with a Cloud Services Configuration dialog, where you will need to enter your username and password and accept the terms and conditions. From this screen you can either select an existing project or create a new one. Let’s create a new one as shown in Figure 2. This information will carry over to our Everlive account which we will take a look at shortly.
Figure 2: Creating a new project with our Cloud Controls.
From here, we can simply click the “Create” button, then finish and our project will be loaded in Visual Studio 2012 or 2013.
Launch the Configuration Manager and change the “Active Solution Platform” to x86 instead of ARM, where we can test this on an emulator instead of a device as shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3: Changing the Configuration Manager.
Now that the app is created and connected to the cloud service, let’s add three Windows Phone Portrait pages. First add a folder called “Views” and then add three pages Login.xaml, Registration.xaml and Appointment.xaml inside this folder. You can go ahead and change the TitlePanel in the Registration.xaml and Appointment.xaml to something more appropriate instead of the default text.
Next, you may go ahead and delete the MainPage.xaml file and edit the WMAppManifest.xml to start the Navigation Page to /Views/Login.xaml.
We are going to begin by editing our Login.xaml page by replacing the ContentPanel with the following XAML.
<!--ContentPanel - place additional content here-->
<Grid x:Name="ContentPanel" Grid.Row="1" Margin="12,0,12,0">
While we are here, let’s map the telerikCloudControls prefix to the Telerik.Windows.Controls.Cloud namespace on all pages:
Let’s examine what we’ve done so far, we’ve used one cloud-control called RadCloudLogin and provided the path to two pages if the registration succeeds or if they need to register. After that we’ve used our new Social LoginProviders to make registration even simpler by adding in support for FaceBook, Google and LiveID. You will need to create an app on the social network in order to get the ClientID and ClientSecret. A page in our help documentation describes this in more detail. In my example, I’m using Facebook, so I headed to https://developers.facebook.com/apps and created a new app as shown below. Now I have my ClientId and ClientSecret.
If we look at our designer, we should have the following screen as shown in Figure 4.
Figure 4: RadCloudLogin with the various social providers.
Please note that Google and LiveID you will need to setup an app similar to the one we did for Facebook.
Let’s switch over to everlive.com and log into our AppointmentTracker instance and go to settings, then user authentication. Make sure you have a check mark in Facebook, Google and Windows Live as shown in Figure 5. This will give our app more flexibility in the future if we chose to add Google and the the Live ID providers.
Figure 5: Adding Everlive permissions to the various social providers.
If we run our app with a valid Client ID and Client Secret for Facebook, we would see the following screen after the user touches the Facebook provider as shown in Figure 6.
Figure 6: Using Facebook instead of creating another username and password.
As you can see we can now log in using Facebook and after a successful login, it will take us to our stubbed out “Appointment.xaml” page as shown in Figure 7.
Figure 7: Stubbed out Appointment.xaml page.
If we look at our Users table, which was automatically generated for us in Everlive. You will see our user has been added as shown in Figure 8.
Figure 8: The User Table in Everlive showing the user we just added and Facebook being a provider.
So far, we’ve started an app that uses Everlive as its backend storage mechanism, modified the user permissions to use social logins, created our first Facebook app and used our first cloud component control called RadCloudLogin. In the next part of the series, we will fill in the gaps, by adding in the Login.xaml page as well as begin to use other cloud-powered component such as RadCloudRegistration (in case they choose not to use a social provider) as well as tie in our RadCloudCalendar control. All of this is coming in part 2, so stay tuned!

Fortnite: Dungeons Guide
What are Fortnite Dungeons?
Raids have finally been introduced in Fortnite: Save the World, and it seems like they’re here to stay. The event is over and yet the Dungeons pin stays on the main in-game map, allowing you access to four types of Dungeons of different power levels: Crypts, Inferno, Labyrinth, and Grotto. Each of these have their own tilesets with unique advantages, bosses, and their own missions in the Quests tab. This Fortnite: Dungeons Guide will cover everything you need to know about this mode.
Like all other modes, Dungeons requires you to select a loadout that can’t be changed through the mission. You run through four floors of the selected tileset facing a variety of enemies and wall traps, but cannot craft your own weapons like at the start of Frostnite. You run with your team and progress through the level, find a key on each floor, find a key drop from eliminated husks, and find the exit for that floor, which teleports you to the next one. On the fourth and final floor, you encounter a boss.Rewards include:
- Loading screens
- Two new heroes (Mermonster Ken and Swamp Knight, both fantastic Commanders)
- Unique banners
- Unique lobby music
- Perk up
What are the best Strategies for Fortnite Dungeons?
Always play in a group. Organized groups will make it easier as with all missions. Make sure you use your abilities enough. At the beginning, put a turret up and go for the Shadow Key. Eliminate the husks quickly and obtain the Husk Key as well. The purple torch should lead you to the door, where you can find the Shadow Key for that level. Seek the Key instead of clearing trash mobs, and aim for the Shadow Key. Watch out for floor, wall, and ceiling traps, they will damage, trap, or teleport you in annoying ways. Simply building over them will solve the issue.
When you enter a new door, all of your teammates will be teleported to it within a few seconds, so the focus should be on progressing through these doors. If you spot active, purple flames in the dungeon, follow them to discover unexplored areas.
Destroy urns to obtain ammo and gold- the coins you obtain here will be sent to the item shop gold when the level ends. Treasure chests also offer excellent rewards such as high-level, epic or legendary weapons, and plenty of coins.
Types of Dungeons in Fortnite: What makes them Unique?
There are four unique types of Dungeons:
- Labyrinth: This is by far the easiest Dungeon, with a simple smasher, The Pusher, as the final boss. Take advantage of this boss by building to the ceiling and damaging the boss from there. You can even solo PL 140 Dungeons using this method.
- Crypts: Trying to jump off buildings will kill you. Be careful around these parts, otherwise your team may have to carry the load until you are respawned. The final boss in the crypts is Vlad, a Taker. Dealing damage to Vlad and taking his health bar down by half will make him vanish for one minute. Use this minute to clear trash mobs, set traps, and campfires.
- Inferno: Unlike the Twine Storm Shield Defense, jumping in lava will not kill you. However, it will deal damage to you, and it’ll surely be better to build over this area. Singe, a smasher, is the final boss in this zone.
- Grotto: Watch out for the poison plants! They are extremely annoying and will explode and kill you if you stay in them for too long. The final fight has four (yep, you read that right) blasters: Surge, Murk, Flood, and Sog. The bottom of the Grotto ship has a high chance of spawning a legendary chest.
What happens if you Die in Dungeons?
Dying in Dungeons turns you into a ghost for a while. You can find an altar to revive yourself, or one of your teammates can do it. However, not that using a statue to revive counts as a full squad revive. You might want to save it until you are at a serious disadvantage- your main DPS guy is dead, or if only one to two players are left. If a player is at the statue on your active floor and someone enters the next floor triggering the team teleport timer, use the statue to revive the dead teammates before the timer runs out. This makes it so that you have a fully revived squad at the next floor, along with a fresh revive statue. The most common way for teammates to die is being overwhelmed by husks. Destroy the purple totems to avoid that, otherwise they will keep spawning infinitely as you kill each spawn.
What do Traps do?
Out of the four circles in the dungeon, the first arrow is a trap. The roof arrow indicates that something will fall on you and damage your health. The second one, the one with the eye, teleports you to the beginning (yeah, the absolute beginning of the level). Avoid it like the plague, it’s very annoying. The third one traps you in a place and spawns a troll around you that you have to kill, like you do in regular missions for the BluGlo prize. Except that you can’t move at all, and husks will be trying to swarm over you, so it might be wiser to avoid that too.
How do I dominate Dungeons?
One word: Carbide. A Carbide Lefty & Righty build is so strong right now, with energy damage upgrades and cooldown reduction perks, that it is absolutely insane underground. The beams bounce of walls and demolish the purple totems with such ease that your teammates won’t be able to match your DPS at all. It is insane, and if you have your Mythic pistol with you, you’ll be reducing your cooldown even further.
Raids have been requested in Fortnite for a long time, and introducing them right now makes me wonder if Epic Games is actually trying to push Save the World away from a fort-defense game to an ability-based, run-and-gun game like Warframe. Every run of the Dungeons mode seems to reward perk up (epic or legendary), which makes it a great farming technique. A great thing is that failing a lower level will also reward the respective perkup. Try out Monsoon or one of the explosive weapons that drop easily in-game to clear the trash mobs. Good luck! The tips mentioned in our Fortnite: Dungeons Guide will be enough to get you through the hardest Dungeons with ease. | <urn:uuid:ea881702-1b52-4bc5-b0d3-690903418270> | CC-MAIN-2020-16 | https://blog.playerauctions.com/fortnite-battle-royale/fortnite-dungeons-guide/ | 2020-04-05T01:05:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-16/segments/1585370526982.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20200404231315-20200405021315-00404.warc.gz | en | 0.940564 | 1,397 |

There are several issues in which President Bush's handoff to the incoming Obama administration is going to feel like a hospital pass. And between now and the inauguration, I am writing about some of them.
If the situation the incoming Obama administration will inherit in Pakistan did not look like a hospital pass two weeks ago, it certainly does now.
The incoming president already faced a faltering counterinsurgency campaign in Afghanistan and the very real possibility that the next attack on the United States was already being planned just over the border in al-Qaida's new safe haven in the Pakistani tribal areas.
Last week's attack in Mumbai, which Indian and U.S. officials now say was planned in Pakistan with an unknown degree of cooperation from rogue elements of Islamabad's military and intelligence apparatus, has added the joker of renewed Indian-Pakistani border tensions to the already stacked deck of cards U.S. policymakers must play with in the region.
Some reports this week said the Pakistani military had already frozen planned deployments of troops to the lawless Federally Administered Tribal Areas on the Afghan border in the expectation that they would be needed on the border with India if tensions flare there in the wake of the Mumbai attacks.
Doubtless Adm. Michael Mullen, chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, who visited Islamabad this week for meetings with Pakistani military and civilian leaders, urged against such a course.
But Indian officials Wednesday named a Lashkar-e-Toiba leader operating in Pakistani Kashmir as the alleged mastermind of the plot, and other reports said the attackers had been trained at identifiable facilities in the disputed region.
There have even been calls in some quarters of India for New Delhi to invoke the Bush doctrine and strike unilaterally at suspected terrorist targets in Pakistan. Standing beside U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice Wednesday, Indian Minister for External Affairs Pranab Mukherjee took no options off the bale. "What action will be taken by the (Indian) government will depend on the response we have from the Pakistan authorities," he said, referring to Indian demands for the handover of Lashkar-e-Toiba leaders and a crackdown on cross-border activity by extremist groups in Kashmir.
But these groups have long been used by elements of the Pakistani military and intelligence leadership as proxies in their confrontation with India over Kashmir. Their leaders know far too much to ever be handed over alive.
And meanwhile, bellicose rhetoric from irresponsible commentators in India is helping those in Pakistan who want the nation's attention focused on its border with India, rather than the Afghan frontier, and the Pakistani military looking to its traditional enemy, rather than the counterinsurgency campaign in the tribal areas.
"One of the effects" of the Mumbai attack "is going to be drawing attention to that other border," al-Qaida specialist Peter Bergen told United Press International. "Whether that was part of the plan, I don't know," he added.
The outline of the Obama administration's key strategic problem in Pakistan is discernible behind the immediate crisis. Whatever the civilian government's policy may be, there are elements of the Pakistani military and intelligence establishment that see India as a much greater threat than armed Islamic extremists. Indeed, if India is the strategic filter, their interests actually align with those of the extremists in this kind of crisis.
Whatever role Pakistani military or intelligence agencies might or might not have played in the Mumbai attacks, it is that strategic convergence that makes the U.S.-Pakistani alliance so troublesome and ensures that Islamabad's role in the war on terror continues to be ambiguous in practice, if not in policy.
One possible way to finesse this problem, which the Bush administration to its credit eventually adopted, is to emphasize the non-military aspects of a counterinsurgency strategy in FATA: a long-term development plan for the region that aims at its increasing integration into the economic and social fabric of the nation.
Indeed, on that desolate border the long game is the only one. Skeptics of a military strategy on both sides of the border have long pointed out that the region has never been conquered. Like Rene Goscinny and Albert Uderzo's Gauls, Asterix and Obelix, the fiercely independent Pashtun tribesmen who live there are indomitable.
But the terrorist networks that have established themselves in the FATA are increasingly linked with the extremists based in Kashmir, which is why, after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, Pakistan was called upon to make a strategic choice to abandon its extremist allies among the Taliban and join the U.S.-led war on terrorism.
While former President Pervez Musharraf claimed to have made that choice, the record shows the commitment of the Pakistani military, and in particular the Inter-Services Intelligence agency, to have been spotty at best.
In some ways the strategic choice that the country must make after the Mumbai attacks is even more profound. Pakistan has fought three wars with India, and the confrontation with its larger neighbor has been one of the pillars of strategic thinking there since the state was founded.
Political theorists are fond of the proposition that democracies tend not to go to war with each other. India is the world's largest functioning democracy. Pakistan has a much spottier record but has just rejoined the club of democratic nations with a new government that seems genuinely committed to its membership.
The only certainty is that the new administration has its work cut out for it. | <urn:uuid:5344575d-54a1-4c57-90bb-52ac673db5ad> | CC-MAIN-2013-48 | http://www.upi.com/Top_News/Special/2008/12/03/Hospital-Pass-Pakistan-mess-for-Obama/UPI-29451228350947/ | 2013-12-13T22:13:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-48/segments/1386165000886/warc/CC-MAIN-20131204135000-00063-ip-10-33-133-15.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.962957 | 1,123 |

Before replying, I went back to search through the notes you’ve sent previously, because I couldn’t quite remember your situation. It looks like I posted a few times in 2015, then not again until January of this year. It seemed in January that you were newly motivated to grab the bull by the horns and get going on a budget or plan to get your finances squared away. But I didn’t see whether you posted specific budgets or if you got as far as opening bills and adding up the totals. That’s a big scary first step, but that’s gotta happen before anyone can really give you solid assistance.
So I guess before answering what you’ve asked below, I’ll ask you something first: are you willing to open those latest bills and statements, at least see what the current totals are, and post your current specific income/expenses? If so, we can help you wade through some options. If not, then there’s not a lot we can do except give you general support and encouragement, whatever you end up deciding (or whatever is decided for you).
My brother went through bankruptcy years ago basically because he was told that was his only option. At that time I had not yet faced my own financial issues and I’d never heard of LT, so I don’t know if he really had other options or not. I can say that if you choose to do nothing, then your choices will be made by others, and you won’t have much say in the matter.
So if you’re willing and able to start opening some envelopes and writing down totals and at least getting stuff on paper, yea we can help you sort through your options. I also expect we’d be able to see some options that you can’t currently see. I know that was the case with my finances, and that seems to be the case with a lot of folks when they first take that big step of publishing their specific information. I encourage you to set aside a few hours (or the day) to take that step. Find a sitter for the kids, call in sick for the day, and start opening envelopes and scribbling down numbers without a lot of other distractions getting in the way. Let’s see how big this monster really is. Maybe it’s not as big as you think. Without those details, and with just the general information you’ve given so far, there’s not much specific advice we can give. I hope you give it a try. | <urn:uuid:520abaf9-1c51-4040-9818-799247e4afb1> | CC-MAIN-2021-25 | https://www.madeintlv.org/2016/09/ | 2021-06-13T00:06:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-25/segments/1623487586465.3/warc/CC-MAIN-20210612222407-20210613012407-00342.warc.gz | en | 0.973909 | 537 |
I've started a fancy new blog over there at The Running Medic. It's really pretty!
This one, on the other hand, was started with the old blogger setup. I haven't converted it over to the new one as it's a bit of a hassle to re-load all the stuff I added, Blogroll, Haloscan comments, etc.
Now, I'm thinking that it might be a good idea to do that. It's looking pretty tired.

On Thursday, July 4, a protest in Zagazig, Egypt of thousands of supporters of ousted President Muhammad Morsi resulted in hundreds of injuries with many protestors fleeing from local attackers.
Most of those attacked and chased away were women and children.
Hanan Amin, chairwoman of the Muslim Brotherhood’s Freedom and Justice Party in the Al Sharqia Governorate, said that 10,000 people, mostly women, were marching in Zagazig, Morsi’s hometown, when thugs suddenly appeared and began attacking them with sharp and heavy objects.
“We walked 12 kilometers and were surprised when thugs started to come towards us with swords, throwing rocks and glass bottles at us,” Amin said. As the protestors ran from the attackers, the police shot tear gas at the protestors.
“The police were closing in on us and throwing molotov cocktails,” Amin said. “We started to say the shahada [testimony of faith].”
140 people have been injured with two in critical condition, Amin reported. Many women were taken to and held at the police station without being charged, while others sought refuge in nearby mosques and apartment buildings.
Zagazig resident, Adel Zidan, 58, along with his family welcomed seven of the protestors into his apartment.
“People were just trying to escape from the violence,” Zidan said. “There are 60-70 people, mostly women, hiding downstairs in the apartment entrance and on the stairs, and we have seven of them staying in my apartment.”
“People are also trapped in the mosque next to our building,” he said. “It is not safe to go out now.”
Morsi was ousted from the presidency on July 3, by the military, after tens of millions of Egyptians began protesting around the country on June 30, calling for his removal.
Independent writer and director Bassem Essam witnessed the Zagazig clashes, and took photos of the event. “Mostly women were protesting and it was very peaceful,” Essam said. “I saw no weapons with them.”
Essam said that some people claimed Morsi supporters were chanting aggressively and provoking passersby. “I am anti-Morsi, but pro-human,” he said “I don’t believe these claims because most of the protestors were women and children. I don’t think they meant any harm. What I think happened is when they got to the midtown area, they approached locations where less educated people and thugs were centered. Some people then started to throw rocks at the protestors,” Essam said. “They started running as a very large number of thugs headed towards them carrying swords and sticks. We helped the women, begging people to open their homes to help and hide them. Some were not able to help, unfortunately.”
Essam saw a group of attackers surround a bearded man, asking if he was part of the Muslim Brotherhood. “The man said he wasn’t a Brotherhood member but the thugs took him by force anyway. I couldn’t help him. I followed behind them and saw them take him to a nearby street and start beating him.”
The police were present but did not intervene.
Hoda ElSharkawi, from Massachusetts, was on a trip visiting relatives in Zagazig when she learned about the situation, calling it unfortunate.
“I was in a cab trying to go home when two ladies stormed into the taxi and said, “Go! Go! Go! They’re firing at us, the thugs are killing us. The ladies were very upset,” she said.
ElSharkawi is currently trapped at her relative’s home scared to leave because of gunshots outside the building.
“There’s a lot of anger from people who are not Muslim Brotherhood supporters. They see them [the protestors] gathering and their feeling is ‘we do not want to help you when you’re in trouble,’” she said.
“I don’t like Morsi. I was very much in favor of having him leave in a democratic way because I don’t like the army at all. I think Morsi’s ouster was a step back in democracy.”
“I saw things I didn’t want to see. I always wanted to believe that, no matter what, if people were being attacked Egyptians would come to their aid. It shook me to see what I did. It makes me feel there’s a lot of unfair and unjust people,” she said. “I don’t like the Muslim Brotherhood but I wouldn’t stand against their freedom of expression.” | <urn:uuid:bc465aa8-5701-4c48-b818-b06f1062ff4d> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://muftah.org/violence-erupts-against-pro-morsi-supporters-in-zagazig-egypt/ | 2015-07-05T13:19:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375097475.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031817-00114-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.989195 | 1,009 |
Returning for the Trojans this year are Mallory Belyeu (P), Brana Booth (SS), Marisa Osga (C), Destiny Perry (2B) and Kristin Studds (3B).
Belyeu will be counted on in the circle after winning eleven games last year; she looks to build on her 2015 experience. She will be pitching to Osga who is also looking to build upon her success in 2015. Perry and Booth will once again be at the top of the lineup and each hopes to duplicate their success from a season ago. Booth, who was a third team NJCAA All-American centerfielder last year, is making the transition to shortstop. Studds should once again be one of the premiere defensive third baseman in the ACCC.
Newcomers include: Cheyenne Bryant (OF), Jodie Caldwell (P), Alexa Callahan (3B), Lindsey Donaldson (OF), Kendra Gibbons (1B/3B), Kayla Gravatt (C), Nicole Hoots (UT), Taylor Hutto (1B and will redshirt due to injury), Natalie Johnsey (P), Chelsea Mowery (1B/P), Britney Rice (C/1B), Sabrina Thomas (OF), and Katie Watson (OF).
Johnsey and Caldwell will look to anchor the pitching staff along with Belyeu. Mowery looks to recover in time from an injury to also find time in the circle as well as first base.
In the infield Callahan and Hoots will compete for playing time at the corners. Gibbons will also compete for playing time at the corners and should be a force at the plate.
Freshmen will roam the outfield. Bryant looks to solidify the left field position and Donaldson looks to do the same in center field. Thomas and Watson look to contribute in the outfield as well. Working as a unit and arm strength will be vital to the success of the outfield.
Behind the plate, Rice and Gravatt look to compete with Osga. Both could also see time at first base and designated player.
With nine ACCC Titles to their credit, the Trojans feel the pieces are in place to claim their tenth
ACCC Championship. Coach Shivers expects his team to compete each time out and to get better as the season progresses. | <urn:uuid:e900342c-7d97-4f9b-8f8d-b4d37ae2d92b> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://www.acccathletics.com/sports/sball/2015-16/releases/20160204hyiwvz | 2018-05-23T22:09:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794865830.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20180523215608-20180523235608-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.952817 | 485 |

Dear Captain Awkward:
I’ve been a closet atheist for almost five years, and it’s getting kind of stuffy in here.
Here’s some background: I’m a Dawoodi Bohra Muslim, which is sort of like the Muslim equivalent of the Catholic Church, only smaller. We have organized clergy, a pope-like figure, etc, etc. My parents are devout. Most of immediate relatives are devout, with the exception of my dad’s family, whom I am no longer close to thanks to a lot of drama. My closest friend is devout.
There are a long list of reasons why I’m afraid to tell the truth to anyone:
1) I’m a freshman in college and dependent financially on my parents. If I tell them, they could do anything from disowning me to forcing me to live at home to sending me to India to attend some sort of religious camp.
2) I might lose people I love — my friends, my family.
3) My relationship with my parents would be ruined. My mom and I have always had a rocky relationship. She’s been pushing me for the past two summers to attend a Muslim-aimed speed dating camp, and urges me to try and get engaged before I turn twenty-two. She’s obsessed with me getting my face waxed, something I hate (I honestly am unbothered by my mustache.) She thinks I dress poorly — things are too tight or too loose, my breasts (which are prominent) are too showy and I need to think about not shaming myself. She’s pretty sure I have some kind of hormone problem (my mom is a physician) but has never made any effort to get me treatment. And her response to anything I do that reveals my rather liberal social views: “Are you a lesbian?” She’d freak if I tried to date, but she’s forever trying to get me to confirm I like boys.
On the other hand…
1) I have a history of depression which manifests in ways that affect my performance academically and socially and included suicidal ideations. My parents are aware of this, but they ruined my first attempts at therapy and they’ve never been able to support me. My mom talks to me about it once every few months, which ends in a crying declaration of support, but the rest of the time it only comes up when she’s warning me not to take any antidepressants. (Sidenote: reading your blog inspired me to start seeing a therapist while at school again. Thank you.) My father honestly believes that once I achieve some sort of spiritual realization all my problems will vanish. My therapist thinks that my depression currently might be linked to the stress of lying.
2) I stop actually practicing my religion a long time ago. Now I’m only faking it. Is it morally wrong to keep pretending?
3) The longer I keep this up, the more pressures are going to appear: my parents are already planning our pilgrimage to Iraq this summer and pushing me to go to speed dating camp this summer. I want to have my own life, and it’ll be hard to have the life I want if I have to pretend to be a good Muslim.
What do I do?
I am so sorry you are going through this. And very glad you have a therapist at school to help you. You cannot live truthfully with the people who should love and support you the most: No wonder you are depressed!
I do not think it is morally wrong for you to go through the motions of your religion while you are dependent on your parents. Many, many young people (including 18-year-old me who was confirmed in the Catholic Church while silently thinking to myself “soon you will not have to pretend you believe this” on the actual altar during the actual ceremony) have to pay lip service to their parents’ religion on their way out of the house and into independent living.
However we all feel about religion, can we agree that it is almost always a total accident of birth? You were born where you were born to these particular parents, so your religion is X, but if you had been born in a different place to different parents your religion would have been Y. People who are willing to coerce you – emotionally, economically – around matters of the eternal soul (or, er, whatever) are asking to be lied to because they don’t offer you any safe alternatives. So a lot of what I have to say about your situation is 1) keep your head down until you are done with college 2) make a plan for how you will support yourself financially after college and if your parents withdraw their support, 3) find friends and safe spaces where you can be authentically yourself. And when you are supposed to be praying, try…praying. “Help me to be strong and brave and to find a way to be truly who I am” is a good think to ask for from life – it doesn’t have to be directed at a God you don’t believe in to give you comfort and courage.
I also think your relationship with your mom would be rocky even if religion weren’t involved. Since she is a doctor, she must know that you should be seen by a doctor who is not her to diagnose any hormonal problems (and possibly prescribe antidepressants), and it is controlling and medically ill-advised to think she can solve your possible medical issues by what…waving her hands and ignoring them?
Put into place a worst-case scenario plan. Worst case scenario: One day you can’t take it anymore and blurt out “I’m an atheist, Mom and Dad” and they decide they are going to ship you somewhere to marry you off or pull you out of school or something else dramatic – whatever your worst fear is. Work with your therapist and your school and your friends (not the really devout one) to put into place things like financial aid, a place to stay, and a short-term plan that keeps you safe and where you want to be. Having the plan in place might help keep you sane while you go through the motions.
Where I think you should fight (FIGHT!) is on the question of getting married. Don’t let them marry you to anyone. ESPECIALLY don’t let them marry you to anyone “back home.” Consider all suitors (if you must go through the motions for now), but find a reason to reject all of them.
I have two other pieces of advice for you that may seem counter-intuitive but may help you out:
1) If you can, reach out to your father’s family. And/or your extended family. Somewhere in there you might have the aunt-who-rebelled or the awesome cousins who can be allies for you if you need them. Look for mentors outside of your family as well.
2) Consider speed-dating camp! Several reasons:
- Think of it as a spy mission! You can write about it later. “The atheist’s survival guide to religious speed-dating camp!”
- Statistically, somewhere at that camp are other young people who feel as you do. I think you might find allies there, both men and women, who do NOT want to be engaged by the time they are 22, who are being forced their by their parents just as you are.
- It does not take place at your house, which means you get some time out of your house this summer, yes?
- It looks like you are trying to make your parents happy, which you can use later. “I tried speed dating camp like you said, but I didn’t meet anyone. I don’t want to get married right now, can we agree to back off this question until I’ve graduated school?”
3) Look out for your safety. Be very careful about covering your tracks on any shared computer (use “Private Browsing” and “Clear History” liberally, etc.) Delete your text messages and voice mails regularly. Where is your passport and birth certificate? Make sure that you have access to and control of your documents. Squirrel away as much money as you can in accounts your parents do not have access to.
I’m sorry, I don’t think there is a magic awesome way that this will all work out for the best. I think having the life you want will come at the expense of your parents’ approval and support, and with some hardships that you would not have had otherwise, both financial and emotional.
I can tell you, however, that it is possible to live without your parents’ approval. You leave home, you get a job, you support yourself, and you find other people to be your “chosen family.” And it is possible perhaps to make some kind of peace down the road, once some time has gone by and you’ve had a chance to totally reset the relationship. Sometimes things have to break all the way in order to heal clean.
Where are my “Grew Up in Conservative Religious Households” readers at? Today’s Letter Writer could sure use your stories, lessons, and courage until I get the funding I need to build that Home for Wayward Girls I’ve been meaning to open. | <urn:uuid:dfa16d5e-dd44-4447-a745-5102c9bf239d> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://captainawkward.com/2012/05/02/238-spiritual-crisis/ | 2015-07-06T18:08:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375098685.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031818-00249-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.972992 | 1,977 |
Epilepsy Surgery: An Alternative for Those Whose Seizures Can't Be Controlled
Cleveland_Clinic_Host: Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders, affecting up to one percent of the population in the United States. Plus more than 45,000 children ages 18 and younger are diagnosed with epilepsy every year. Overall, medication can control seizures in 60 to 70% of epilepsy patients. For those whose epilepsy cannot be controlled with anticonvulsant medication, or experience intolerable side effects from anticonvulsants, there are other options available, including epilepsy surgery.
The success of epilepsy surgery is measured in terms of the operation’s impact on seizure control and improvement in quality of life. Successful surgery eliminates seizures in the majority of cases. In a minority of cases, seizure frequency is markedly reduced.
The Cleveland Clinic Epilepsy Center is one of the largest and more comprehensive epilepsy programs in the world for the evaluation and treatment of epilepsy in both children and adults. More than 300 patients with medication-resistant epilepsy undergo surgical procedures annually at Cleveland Clinic Epilepsy Center. The center is one of the few medical centers in the country that has been instrumental in using 3-D mapping to pinpoint the focus of seizures and improve surgical outcomes. The Epilepsy Center was also the first in North America, to introduce SEEG, a minimally invasive technique, which is a more precise and less invasive approach to localizing seizures.
William E. Bingaman, MD, is Vice-Chairman of the Neurological Institute and Head of the Section of Epilepsy Surgery at Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio. Dr. Bingaman’s clinical interests are in the surgical treatment of adult and pediatric epilepsy, with special interest in hemispheric epilepsy. He also is interested in spinal surgery and maintains a busy clinical practice in close collaboration with the Department of Neurology via the Comprehensive Epilepsy Center.
He is an active member of many professional organizations including the American Association of Neurological Surgeons, the Congress of Neurological Surgeons, the American Epilepsy Society, the Ohio State Neurosurgical Society and the Council of State Neurosurgical
Societies. Additionally, Dr. Bingaman holds leadership positions in several national neurosurgical organizations including Member-at-Large board member of the Congress of Neurological Surgeons, Vice Chairman of the Council of State Neurosurgical Societies, board member of the American Neurosurgery Political Action Committee and Past President of the Ohio State Neurosurgical Society.
Cleveland_Clinic_Host: Welcome to our Online Health Chat with Dr. William Bingaman. We are thrilled to have Dr. Bingaman here today for this chat. He is the Vice-Chairman of the Neurological Institute and Head of the Section of Epilepsy Surgery at Cleveland Clinic. Dr. Bingaman, let’s begin with some questions.
g: Is surgery an alternative in all types of epilepsy or in special types only?
Speaker_-_Dr__William_Bingaman: No. Surgery is appropriate mainly in patients with focal epilepsy that is resistant to medication. Focal epilepsy means that the seizures arise from one part of the brain.
Palliative surgical options do exist for patient with generalized epilepsy. These include vagal nerve stimulation, corpus callosotomy and deep brain stimulation.
Christo-Cam: Can an SEEG reveal lesions or focal points that an EEG or MRI cannot? In the case of a child with a normal MRI but 2 abnormal EEGs with a variety of non-centralized seizure types, what is the best "next step"? SEEG?
Speaker_-_Dr__William_Bingaman: In pts who have non-localized seizure activity with normal MRI scan, SEEG is a safer alternative to subdural gird evaluation.
mbnuss: Have you had success controlling Epilepsy through surgery when the seizure is in the Occipital Lobe?
Speaker_-_Dr__William_Bingaman: Yes. Overall the success of epilepsy surgery depends on whether or not there is a lesion present. A lesion is a non-specific term for any abnormality in the brain tissue. In general, when the lesion is present we can stop the seizure 70-80% of the time.
The special circumstance that involves the occipital lobe is that it is the area that controls vision and is thus considered eloquent brain. Therefore, the limiting factor in occipital lobe surgery is how much vision the patient is willing to lose.
darvik: Have you witnessed any insurance companies refusing to authorize MEG or SEEG diagnostic testing in order to determine a patients candidacy for surgery?
Speaker_-_Dr__William_Bingaman: We have not seen insurance companies refuse the pre-operative workup of patients with epilepsy in an organized or consistent manner.
darvik: Sorry for a vanity question, but how much hair is shaved if I need a SEEG, Intracranial EED, and ultimately resection surgery (if I am a candidate, of course).
Speaker_-_Dr__William_Bingaman: For subdural electrode evaluations, all the hair is clipped. For SEEG procedures similarly, the entire head is clipped. For resective surgery, it varies from surgery to surgery.
eudora: Can you speak to the Cleveland Clinic's experience in surgeries of the left temporal lobe with no lesion present?
Speaker_-_Dr__William_Bingaman: For non-lesion temporal lobe epilepsy, our experience has been most successful when patients are implanted with electrodes to better define the region within the temporal lobe where the seizures start.
The left temporal lobe is special because of the memory and language function within it, and therefore the less tissue removed, the better the functional outcome often is.
The use of invasive electrode recording often allows us to tailor the temporal lobectomy to improve both the seizure-free outcome and the functional outcome.
PIZZAFACE36: WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS FOR STEM CELL TREATMENT FOR EPILEPSY?
Speaker_-_Dr__William_Bingaman: Stem cell treatment for epilepsy is in its infancy, with really no scientific data available.
PIZZAFACE36: WHAT COULD BE COMPLICATIONS OF A LOBECTOMY AND ARE ANY PERMANATE?
Speaker_-_Dr__William_Bingaman: Complications of epilepsy surgery include the general risks of craniotomy, such as infection and bleeding - which are fortunately low, as well as more specific risks based on the part of the brain where we are working.
These risks should be discussed individually with your surgeon.
Temporal lobectomy is the most common adult surgical procedure that we do and, in general, carries a risk of peripheral vision loss and memory/naming difficulties.
PIZZAFACE36: WHAT'S INVOLVED IN MEMORY/NAMING DIFFICULTIES? WOULD I FORGET I TOOK MY MEDICINE OR ATE - OR ANYTHING I DID?
Speaker_-_Dr__William_Bingaman: Left temporal lobe is often associated with difficulties with short term memory and memory of names. Surgical removal of the left temporal lobe will aggravate this pre-existing memory condition in a small subset of patients, as most of these patients have already adapted to their memory loss. This is not something that alters their lifestyle.
The memory loss may be bad enough to interfere with remembering to take medicine, etc.
Diagnostics Tests for Epilepsy Surgery
darvik: I have cortical dysplasia in the right side of my brain. This is according to my epileptologist at UCI Dr Howard Kim. So far, we've done a contrast MRI and video monitored EEG. What additional tests are needed to pinpoint my epigenetic zone and determine if I am a candidate for surgery?
Speaker_-_Dr__William_Bingaman: A PET scan is often done. Depending on the anatomy of the malformation, invasive recordings with invasive electrodes may be necessary to define the tissue that needs to be removed and the function of that tissue.
The basic workup for surgery requires a patient who has epilepsy that does not respond to medications. Once that has been determined, patients undergo video EEG monitoring, MRI scanning, PET scanning, neuropsychological testing and evaluation by an epileptologist and an epilepsy surgeon.
Here at Cleveland Clinic, patients would also see our behavioral health specialist, interested in epilepsy.
eudora: Please supply information on SEEG. How is it done and how much less invasive is it? Which patients are best candidates for SEEG?
Speaker_-_Dr__William_Bingaman: Dr. Jorge Gonzalez-Martinez is the epilepsy surgeon here that does SEEG. SEEG stands for stereoelectroencephalography. This involves a method of inserting electrodes into the brain to identify seizure onset and it is based on a patient's type of seizure, electrical characteristics of the seizure, and anatomy.
It is less invasive than the more widely used subdural electrode technique. Its limitations are based on the less desirable ability to map brain function. It is mainly used in patients who have non-lesion epilepsy - meaning that the brain is normal on imaging.
The main risk to the technique is bleeding during electrode insertion which is 1:100 cases.
We are doing this procedure on patients 2 years of age and older.
flukster: Hello, Dr. B! (you are doing this on Bethany's BD:) Our ques. is concerning the SEEG procedure. Could you explain it & tell us how successful it has been in cases like Bethany's? Thank you & YOU ARE THE BEST!!
Speaker_-_Dr__William_Bingaman: Say hello to Bethany and Happy Birthday. The SEEG information that we just discussed would be applicable to Bethany. One of the beneficial aspects to SEEG is that we can cover a wider area of the brain less invasively. We are in the early phases of SEEG at the Cleveland Clinic. The technique involves implanting the electrodes, monitoring the patient in the EMU, and recording seizures. The electrodes are then removed, often right at the bedside and surgical resection of the seizure focus when appropriate is done at a later date.
I do not know the up-to-date statistics on how successful the procedure is, but my observation is that we are likely too early in the program to make definitive conclusions.
eudora: Why is SEEG just now being done in the US? Hasn't it been done for many yrs in France?
Speaker_-_Dr__William_Bingaman: Yes, it was developed in France in the 1970's and has found a niche in France and Italy where it is widely used to study patients with epilepsy. It has not found a similar niche in the US due to concerns about cost, availability of subdural recordings. There has also been some long-standing disagreement between American and European schools of thought concerning the onset of epilepsy and how best to evaluate it.
Many US Center implant electrodes into the brain with a different technique called stereotactic depth electrode implantation. This technique implants electrodes in a similar manner from patient to patient.
SEEG allows us to implant electrodes into each patient with an individualized and customized fashion.
Christo-Cam: Is this suitable for non-centralized, cryptogenic childhood epilepsy?
Speaker_-_Dr__William_Bingaman: No, SEEG would not be suitable.
Christo-Cam: Are there any particular types of seizures that surgery is more or less successful in treating?
Speaker_-_Dr__William_Bingaman: Epilepsy associated with an abnormality in the brain is most successfully treated by surgery.
darvik: How long does monitoring and evaluation take and how soon after can surgery be done?
Speaker_-_Dr__William_Bingaman: For SEEG, the typical hospital stay is one week and surgery, when appropriate, is scheduled in a couple months.
For subdural electrode evaluation, the average length of stay is 14 days, and both surgeries are performed during the same hospitalization.
SEEG: Availability & Outcomes
Christo-Cam: Is the Cleveland Clinic the only hospital doing SEEG right now?
Speaker_-_Dr__William_Bingaman: There are hospitals in France and Italy, but to the best of my knowledge Cleveland Clinic is the only hospital in the United States doing SEEG in the way it is described in Europe.
eudora: How many epilepsy surgeries does the Cleveland Clinic perform annually? Where does this rank nationally?
Speaker_-_Dr__William_Bingaman: About 350-400 annually, at Cleveland Clinic. Based on the US News and World Report, we are one of the top in the nation.
flukster: How many SEEG procedures have you done on adults @ CCF?
Speaker_-_Dr__William_Bingaman: We have done 25 to date. We started the program at Cleveland Clinic in March 2009.
Christo-Cam: What are the remission rates, post-surgery?
Speaker_-_Dr__William_Bingaman: Seizure free outcomes vary according to different pathologies and locations of the epilepsy. A general number is 70-80% of patients are seizure-free at 1 year following surgery.
This success declines over time so that at 5-10 years after surgery, 50-60% of patients remain completely free of seizures.
annnow: That figure factors in variances not related to the "success" of the surgery, I'm assuming?
Speaker_-_Dr__William_Bingaman: Can you rephrase this question?
annnow: What I mean is, a portion of that 40-50% who have had seizures were not compliant with treatment.
Speaker_-_Dr__William_Bingaman: Medical intractability prior to surgery means that an adequate trial of anti-convulsant medicines has been attempted.
Non-compliance with prescribed therapies would be a reason for exclusion for consideration from surgery.
After surgery, as the length of time increases without seizures, some patients do become non-compliant with medications and some patients may be weaned from medication under the supervision of the physician.
You are correct that the 40-50% of patients that have recurrence of seizures do so when stressed, ill, or after not taking their medicine.
Bi-temporal Epilepsy & Surgery
RJ: I have complex partial seizures. I have a primary focus on my right temporal lobe and have developed a mirror focus on the left side. Are there any new surgical developments that might make surgery a possibility for me?
Speaker_-_Dr__William_Bingaman: The diagnosis of bi-temporal epilepsy is difficult because patient's often do not respond to medications and both temporal lobes cannot be removed surgically.
For this difficult group of patients, surgical evaluation should begin with non-invasive video EEG to document seizures coming from both temporal lobes. Even when scalp EEG recordings show this, a small number of patient's will still have seizures arising from one temporal lobe and quickly spreading to the other.
This gives the false appearance of bi-temporal seizure onset. For these patient's, we will often implant depth electrodes into both temporal lobes to prove or disprove seizures arising from both temporal lobes.
If seizures do arise from both temporal lobes, there is a procedure called NeuroPace, which essentially is direct cortical stimulation of the temporal lobes.
This may be effective in reducing the seizure burden. This procedure is investigational at the present time and likely will not be available for implantation for several years.
Medical Treatment for Epilepsy
megabrain: What is your stand on vitamin B6 and its role in seizures.
Speaker_-_Dr__William_Bingaman: I would refer to the medical epitologist for this answer.
Christo-Cam: How many different anti-convulsant drugs should a child with epilepsy try before trying surgery?
Speaker_-_Dr__William_Bingaman: There are several papers in the literature that suggest if two medicines fail to control the seizures, additional drugs will also fail to work. There are approximately 20 anti-convulsants on the market, and an adequate trial of all of these medicines could take up to 10 yrs.
In children, neurocognitive development is often affected by ongoing seizures and it becomes important to stop the seizures for more normal development to occur.
Remember that all of these pts have a 0% success rate with medical treatment.
Therefore, pediatric epileptologists are aggressive at recommending surgical evaluations in young patients.
PIZZAFACE36: I ALREADY HAD A CONSULT WITH THE SURGEON. WOULD IT BE WRONG TO ASK FOR ANOTHER ONE TO MAKE SURE WE UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING AND ALL THE RISKS?
Speaker_-_Dr__William_Bingaman: I believe that people should get a second opinion for every significant problem they face, including epilepsy treatment.

SOFTHOUSE is a company founded in 1995 by the sisters Laura and Mariella Torri. It is based in Tuscany, an area famous for its master carpentry.

Ever since the beginning of time, women have been looked upon as property and their sole purpose in life is to please their man. Although plenty has changed over the years, there is no denying that it is still important to keep your man happy in a relationship because when he is happy, you will be too.
Feminists, please put down your arms and revel in the fact that women now have the power to call the shots and decide what makes their man happy. It no longer entails just the opening of legs for sex and childbirth.
At the end of the day, if you love someone, you should try your best to make them happy, irrespective of your gender.
Let’s take a look.

Engineers and electricians with Bruce & Merrilees Electric Company, New Castle, are in the process of replacing all traffic lights and cross walk signals at seven major intersections in Tamaqua.
All the new state-of-the-art traffic signals will be electronically tied together to better deal with traffic congestion on both SR209 and SR309.
In addition to better traffic signal management, the intersections have new loop systems below the road to detect vehicles. All the new traffic lights are also equipped with preemption controls which allow for faster response of emergency and police vehicles.
Work on the lights is expected to be completed by Thanksgiving. | <urn:uuid:fa4d3977-3915-4d27-b014-5a2ffb1662bc> | CC-MAIN-2014-10 | http://www.tnonline.com/print/2011/oct/21/new-hi-tech-traffic-lights-tamaqua | 2014-03-11T02:31:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-10/segments/1394011094911/warc/CC-MAIN-20140305091814-00049-ip-10-183-142-35.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.948022 | 128 |

My First Taste of Adventure: The Glacier and the Beer that Made Me a Man
Updated: Apr 20
Once upon a time, in the quaint village of Seboltshausen, Germany, a young boy embarked on a life-changing adventure. Fast forward a few decades, and here I am, still exploring the great outdoors, now in Southern Oregon. But the journey that ignited my passion for adventure began with a thrilling road trip to the Austrian Alps with my father. So, gather round, fellow adventurers, and let me regale you with a tale of the trek that sparked my love for the great outdoors.
I was a mere eight years old when my father and I set out on a cool, crisp morning, heading towards the majestic mountains of northern Austria. Our destination: a striking glacier, the likes of which my young eyes had never seen before. We arrived late that evening, finding a peaceful field nestled beside the woods at the foot of the mountain we planned to conquer.
As the sun peeked over the horizon, we awoke, buzzing with the excitement that only a grand adventure could bring. My father ventured to a nearby bakery and returned with the freshest bread, still warm from the oven. We devoured our breakfast of bread and salami, a family favorite, before setting off on our trek.
I won't lie, the journey up the mountain was tough for my young legs. I huffed and puffed, struggling to keep pace with my father's long strides. Time was of the essence, as we had to reach the glacier and return before nightfall. But my dad, ever the wise and patient teacher, showed me how to breathe correctly to manage my exertion. The trails were marked with spray-painted rocks and trees, but the signs were often difficult to discern. As the day wore on, my father would occasionally hike ahead, leaving me to navigate the path on my own. It was during these moments that I discovered my inner resilience, as I pressed on with determination, eager to reunite with him.
Finally, around noon, I reached the glacier. My father was already there, exploring the icy expanse, while I collapsed, exhausted yet triumphant. We enjoyed a light lunch and sipped on the purest water, dripping from the ice itself. The glacier was a marvel, and I couldn't wait to regale my mother and siblings with tales of my accomplishment. Though I was initially apprehensive about venturing onto the ice, fearing the hidden crevasses my father had warned me about, I soon realized that I was in no immediate danger. However, my eight-year-old imagination kept me cautious.
The descent was decidedly swifter, as I practically jogged to keep up with my father. At the base of the mountain, we treated ourselves to a well-deserved meal at a nearby diner. I devoured a plate of curry sausage and fries, washing it down with a refreshing Coke, while my father enjoyed a cold beer with his dinner. Once I had finished my meal, he casually slid his half-empty beer towards me. I couldn't believe my eyes - was he really offering me a taste? With a subtle nod of approval, my dad granted me permission to take a sip. That evening, after my first hike to a glacier, I experienced another milestone: my very first beer. It was a moment I'll never forget, for it was then that I truly felt like a man.
So there you have it, folks. The tale of the adventure that set me on the path to a lifetime of exploration and a love for the great outdoors. As you embark on your own adventures, remember to embrace the lessons nature has to offer, and don't forget to enjoy the occasional milestone along the way. Happy adventuring!

What does polycentric region mean?
Visitor Question: I have become interested in what our regional planning council is doing because I am concerned about the need for expanding highway access in my suburb. At their last meeting one of the staff members sort of stood up for me and mentioned that we are becoming a polycentric region, and I do not understand what that term means. Can you help? Is it a good thing or bad thing to be polycentric? How is the average citizen going to notice if we are polycentric or not?
Editors Reply: Thanks for the interesting question. Breaking down the word, we find that "poly" means many, and "centric" refers to the fact that there are centers in a city.
The historic center of a city, both geographically and metaphorically, was the downtown. So when we say there are centers, now we have moved away from the geographic notion and toward the idea of activity centers, a term that actually is used sometimes in city planning circles.
An activity center could be a shopping mall, an office or industrial complex where there is a lot of employment, a university, a popular cultural or shopping district, or a tourism or museum district, as examples.
Thus, we come to the definition of a polycentric city as a city where there are multiple major activity centers instead of a very heavy concentration of activity in and immediately around the downtown area.
City planners, including those of us who author this website, have been pretty slow to embrace the idea of a polycentric metropolitan region as a good idea, believing (correctly) that the rise of a large employment, shopping, and entertainment district on the periphery is a good thing. Often these districts do cause businesses, retail, and major festivals to leave the downtown center. Taken far enough, these rival centers can leave downtown hollowed out to a very unhealthy extent.
Having said all of that, there is a place for a polycentric region. One of the drivers that is causing us to change our minds is the pragmatic observation that in the U.S. we are not going to get everyone to suddenly embrace the downtown as the center of everything again. We are not going to convince everyone that city living is better than suburban living within the course of one generation.
With this reality in mind, many of us are thinking about our climate change planning and deciding that we need to reduce our vehicle miles traveled (which you may hear referred to as VMT) as quickly as possible.
In turn, a major way to reduce travel is to reduce commutes to work and routine shopping. To do so, we need some concentrations of activity, and ideally those activity centers contain feature both employment opportunities and most shopping, except for the most specialized retail.
We are making it sound as if the polycentric region or polycentric city are brand new ideas, and this is not really the case. Even though older standard representations of the ideal city and even real cities showed concentric circles around downtown, with "rents" (meaning both rents and home or commercial building pries) highest in the center, those same diagrams also frequently allowed for what they might call minor centers, neighborhood centers, and any number of other planning terms.
With the advent of Joel Garreau's edge city book in 1991, we started becoming more realistic about what already had occurred in American cities by that time. His work pointed out a number of examples of activity centers on the edges of a metropolitan area, or at least at a considerable distance from downtown, that had become major employment, office, and retail centers. Like traditional downtowns, these had become major traffic generators and exerted their own pull on real estate development and upward momentum on rents and housing prices.
We stand firm in our resolve to oppose suburban sprawl as a matter of regional planning principle. The reasons sprawl is bad are many and are detailed elsewhere on our site.
However, there is also a role for realism in our regional planning, and it is our hope that your desire for additional road infrastructure in suburbia is driven by such realism rather than the unrealistic idea that you can build your way out of traffic jams. When the desire for expanded highway access is genuinely a wish for access where none exists or where the access is dangerous for both vehicles and pedestrians, it can be a good thing.
To be polycentric as a region at this point is not only realistic, but also healthy if the region is growing in population. For regions that are stagnant or are suffering as shrinking cities, we still recommend the most stringent measures possible to restrict the number of activity centers to the ones that already are beyond control.
Answering your last point, we think that if a citizen is armed with this basic information, they will be able to discuss and understand whether their city is polycentric. Our hope is that they then can enter into the discussion about whether that is a good thing or a bad thing, as you put it.

The Land Planning Department is responsible for assigning all physical addresses in the unincorporated areas of Big Horn County.
- A physical address will not be assigned unless an existing structure is on site or active, permitted development of a structure is in progress.
- Your physical address may differ from your mailing address; this is determined by your post office.
- Proof of permitted access to the site to be addressed may be required before an address will be assigned.
- A county-issued fire marker displaying the address number is placed where the driveway to the addressed structure meets a named road.
How to Request a Physical Address:
In order to get an address in unincorporated Big Horn County, you must submit an Address Application and fee to the Land Planning Department. The Land Planning staff will review your application, assign an address and contact you (and any appropriate agencies) with your new address.
How is an address number determined?
If the address location is on a currently named road, the address number will be assigned based on a number range defined by the Big Horn County Address System. Using geographic information systems (GIS), the road will be segmented into sections that match the range of numbers defined. In most cases, the address number assigned will be chosen where the access road to the address location meets the named road. Generally, addresses north or east of the named road will have an odd number assigned and addresses south or west of the named road will have an even number assigned.
If the address location is on an unnamed road and there are two or less addressed locations along the access, a number will be assigned based on the named road that the access road intersects. If the address location is on an unnamed road and there are three or more addressed locations along the access, the private road will first be named using the process defined in the Big Horn County, WY, Rural Addressing Policy, then all addresses along the road will be reassigned accordingly.
There are occasions where addresses are modified. One example is when more than two residences share a common access road that has not yet been named. In this case, the road will be named and any existing addresses along the road will be changed to match the newly named road. Each addressee will be notified of the change, as well as all emergency services and dispatch offices, utility companies, county offices, the postal service, and other interested parties.
If an existing address does not conform to the County address system or policy, the County Planner will initiate the process for changing an address.
See the Big Horn County, WY, Rural Addressing Policy for more information.
Addresses for In-Town Residents:
If the structure you are seeking an address for is within a municipal boundary (i.e., Basin, Burlington, Byron, Cowley, Deaver, Frannie, Greybull, Lovell or Manderson), please contact the appropriate municipality. The Land Planning Department only issues in-town addresses upon the request of the town administration. | <urn:uuid:81fa0704-abcc-4dd7-b681-23166f47801b> | CC-MAIN-2018-17 | http://www.bighorncountywy.gov/departments/land-planning/rural-addressing?font-size=smaller | 2018-04-23T01:49:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-17/segments/1524125945669.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20180423011954-20180423031954-00254.warc.gz | en | 0.941648 | 613 |
Willie Nelsen’s “On the road again” doesn’t do this justice.
Toronto FC knew it was coming. On Thursday, the club learned its itinerary. The Reds open the 2016 season on an exhausting eight-game trip with BMO Field renovations extending into May.
President Bill Manning was clear before the holidays: Eight points from eight games is the minimum requirement.
Anything else and, well, we’re not sure what will happen with head coach Greg Vanney.
Major League Soccer announced late last month the Reds will open the 2016 season at Red Bull Arena on March 6. On Thursday, their next seven (straight) road opponents were revealed.
After opening in New Jersey, Toronto FC travels to New York City and Sporting Kansas City on consecutive Sundays. Following a bye week, the Reds then head to Colorado, New England, D.C., Montreal and Portland over five weekends before returning home to open the new, new BMO Field against FC Dallas on May 7.
The Reds host five different Western Conference clubs this season than in 2015, including Vancouver, L.A., Seattle, Salt Lake City and Dallas.
Additionally, they’ll travel to the New York Red Bulls, Montreal and Orlando twice this year.
Although the Reds are set to embark on a massive trip this spring, they’ll benefit later in the season. Schedule-makers offered relief in the form of four straight home fixtures on three different occasions.
Other items to keep in mind: Reigning MLS MVP Sebastian Giovinco will likely miss four to six matches if he’s called up to the Italian national team during this summer’s Euro tournament in France ... U.S. internationals Michael Bradley and Jozy Altidore are in jeopardy of missing two to three games in late May and June if the U.S. advances beyond the group stage at the Copa America Centenario ... Toronto FC will host Chicago on Decision Day – the final day of the regular season — on Oct. 23.
TOP FIVE TFC FIXTURES TO WATCH IN 2016
Lookings at the critical matches you won’t want to miss this season
SUNDAY, MARCH 20 – @ SPORTING K.C.
Toronto’s first two matches — both on the road in New York — will be big, no doubt. But the Reds, historically, haven’t fared well in New York. That means the third match of the season could have massive implications in terms of early season momentum, especially in a market that turns on its managers at the first sign of trouble. Sporting Kansas City isn’t what it was in 2013, the year it won MLS Cup. And the Reds might head into this one needing an early-season result.
SATURDAY, MAY 7 – FC DALLAS
Not exactly a marquee matchup in terms of a visiting opponent, but this will be most TFC fans’ first glimpse at the newly renovated BMO Field. The roofing looks fantastic and it will be interesting to hear how well it retains sound. For the first time ever, fans will be shielded from the elements. The Reds put in a pitiful effort during last season’s home opener. This is their chance at redemption — a first impression they need to take advantage of.
SATURDAY, JUNE 18 – L.A. GALAXY
Steven Gerrard, Giovani dos Santos and, perhaps, Ashley Cole arrive in Toronto with the L.A. Galaxy, a club that hasn’t played many league fixtures in Toronto. The five-time champs are always a draw. Be prepared for the plethora of annoying Liverpool fans, who will undoubtedly be screaming for Stevie G.
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 24 – @ ORLANDO CITY
The Reds embarrassed Orlando City three times in 2015, beating the expansion side by a combined 11-1. Don’t for a second think the Lions won’t want to save face considering what the Reds did to them last year. Aside from employing Brazilian star Kaka, Orlando City recently traded for ex-TFC ’keeper Joe Bendik, who was more or less thrown overboard by TFC coach Greg Vanney. Bendik will want to make his ex-club regret its decision.
SUNDAY, OCT. 16 – @ MONTREAL IMPACT
The league’s head honchos hope this fixture will have massive playoff implications. You’ll remember the Reds were embarrassed by the Impact to end the 2015 season. Given the opportunity, they’d love to return the favour on the penultimate weekend of the coming season. | <urn:uuid:3a741689-3d02-4a5c-88f9-1b0ae0842dc7> | CC-MAIN-2017-34 | http://www.torontosun.com/2016/01/07/tfc-in-for-long-early-season-trip-again | 2017-08-17T21:29:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-34/segments/1502886104160.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20170817210535-20170817230535-00090.warc.gz | en | 0.93663 | 971 |

Gil Merchant was just 39 years old when he had his first heart attack. He has suffered two more in the past couple of years, and he’s only 50. He has smoked cigarettes since he was 16.
“Heart attacks run in my family,” Merchant, of Brewer, said matter-of-factly during a recent interview. “My doctor’s been on my butt for years to quit smoking.”
This New Year’s Day, Merchant’s physician might just get his wish.
Merchant, who is the head of the fuel department at Bangor International Airport, is among thousands of Mainers who are planning to kick the tobacco habit on Jan. 1, the traditional day of resolution and self-improvement.
Maine ranks 24th in nation for the percentage of adults who smoke cigarettes. About 18 percent of adults in Maine smoked in 2008, on par with the national average and down from more than 30 percent in 1997. Men are more likely to smoke than women.
Other tobacco users smoke pipes and cigars or use smokeless products such as chewing tobacco and snuff. Cigarette smokers are by far the largest group. All forms of tobacco use are addictive and linked to cancer and other illnesses, authorities say.
The number of new callers to the Maine Tobacco HelpLine, which provides assistance and support to would-be quitters, typically jumps by about 50 percent every January, from the usual 350 calls in other months to about 500 calls.
The help line staff works with smokers to create a “quit plan” tailored to their specific circumstances, taking into account their smoking habits, the environmental and emotional “triggers” that make them reach for a smoke, their family influences and other factors. The program, which can provide nicotine patches, gum and other aids to help smokers quit, is run through the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
Merchant has quit smoking before — many times.
“I’ve tried the nicotine patch, cold turkey, Nicorette gum, Chantix. I even tried hypnosis,” he said cheerfully. “About the only thing I haven’t tried is sewing my lips together.”
Maybe this time, he said, something will be different.
Bonnie Irwin, a Bangor-based tobacco-cessation expert working with the Maine CDC, said Merchant will have plenty of nonsmoking company come the first of the year.
“New Year’s Day is the number one day for people to consider giving up smoking,” she said. In addition to the opportunity for general self-improvement that rolls around at this time every year, Irwin said, the settling-in of winter weather inspires many smokers who have been taking their habit outside in deference to smoke-sensitive roommates or family members.
The courtesy loses its appeal once the temperature drops.
The $6-a-pack cost of feeding a cigarette habit also contributes to smokers’ motivation, Irwin said.
“My problem is, I really enjoy smoking,” Merchant said. “But it’s getting so darn expensive now, you can’t afford to do it.” His health is another motivator, of course, but so is the growing pressure from within his family.
“My son and my oldest daughter smoke, but my other daughter is a nurse. She’s constantly on my butt about smoking around her children. When they come over, there’s no smoking anywhere around them,” he said.
Importantly, Merchant’s wife, Julie, will be quitting along with him. They both plan to use the drug Chantix, which blocks the urge to smoke. She, too, has quit before, as recently as last year, when she went six months without lighting up.
Her downfall? Her husband.
“We drove to Michigan and it was a long ride with a smoker in the car,” Julie Merchant said. Despite having gained some weight while she was not smoking, Merchant, a 38-year smoker who suffers from emphysema, said she’s more than ready to try again, this time with Gil on board.
“It’s very important that he’s quitting, too,” she said. “You can’t do it unless everyone in the house is quitting.”
That bit of insight squares with Bonnie Irwin, who touts the services of the Maine Tobacco HelpLine.
“You really have to understand that having a smoker in the house is a trigger for you,” she said. “With your quit plan, you really want to eliminate or lessen your triggers. It’s important to let family and friends know that in order for you to be successful at quitting, you’d like them to be a positive support by not smoking around you.”
Other strategies for success include identifying routine activities that stimulate the urge to light up — enjoying the first cup of morning coffee, starting the drive to work, unwinding with a beer or other alcoholic drink, or relaxing after sex.
The staff at the help line can also help callers identify new ways of dealing with anxiety, anger and stress.
“Many people have always used cigarettes to cope with those feelings,” Irwin said. “But if you have a cigarette when you’re stressed, what you’re actually doing is taking some time to stop and think about the situation. It’s not the cigarette that’s calming you down — you’re calming yourself down.”
For Keith Stuart, of Orrington, the motivation to kick his 27-year smoking habit is both personal and financial. The 41-year-old father of eight smokes about a pack a day and figures giving it up will help him pay off his new Harley-Davidson motorcycle a little sooner.
He also doesn’t like the idea of what smoking is doing to his body.
“I’ve always been kind of an athlete,” he said, but in recent years he has suffered from bronchitis and pneumonia. “I’m getting old,” he said. “My body’s not what it used to be.”
Stuart doesn’t ever smoke around his kids, but his habit remains problematic for his wife, Bridgette, a nonsmoker.
“She hates it,” he said bluntly. “It’s a huge rift in our marriage. We’ve got plenty to worry about without adding that to it.”
Like Gil Merchant, Stuart has tried to quit before, using Chantix and nicotine patches.
“This time around, there’s no patch, no Chantix,” he said. “It doesn’t make sense to continue to feed the chemical addiction” to nicotine.
Instead, he said, he’ll be looking to change his behavior — taking his breaks inside instead of stepping outside to smoke, working out at the gym, changing his coffee-drinking routine, and weaning himself off his smoking habit.
Right after Christmas, Stuart said, he would start smoking fewer cigarettes each day.
“With any luck, on New Year’s Eve I’ll be throwing the pack into a bonfire and calling it quits,” he said.
Bonnie Irwin said smokers looking for support and advice for a Jan. 1 quit date should contact the Maine Tobacco HelpLine at 800-207-1230.

A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) consists of a group of communicating hosts that form an arbitrary network topology by means of any of several wireless communication media. MANET communications represent a diversification in communication technology necessary to solve the stringent end-to-end requirements of QoS-based communication networks. Of the many challenges in this complex distributed system, the problem of routing based on a predefined set of customer preferences, critical to guaranteeing quality-of-service, is the focus of this research. Specifically, this paper modifies a cluster-based QoS routing algorithm for mobile ad hoc networks with the aim of providing fault tolerance, which is a critical feature in providing QoS in the link failure-prone environment of mobile networks. Performance of this new fault-tolerant cluster-based QoS wireless algorithm is evaluated according to failure recovery time, dropped packets, throughput, and sustained flow bandwidth via simulations involving node failure scenarios along QoS paths.

Besides the weight, it is also the stock dimensions that seems to like no one when it comes to transmitting recoil.
The Topper Deluxe Classic stock has more drop at the heel, less drop at the comb, and is a little longer than the stock of the more populous Pardner. For me personally, it fits noticeably better. Also, the pitch is different, and instead of having the sharp point of plastic butt plate jabbing into my shoulder pocket, the recoil pad fits more flush against the shoulder.
But regardless, I don't think it would fit a 9 or 10 year old. Other than used guns, with hunting season coming up, you could probably find guns such as the Mossberg 500 bantam (bantam is their youth model) pump on sale for around $200 or less. I believe these come with 3 chokes (IC, Mod, Full). | <urn:uuid:03936acf-0ed5-41d5-82d3-315945c32602> | CC-MAIN-2016-36 | http://thefiringline.com/forums/showpost.php?p=5203042&postcount=9 | 2016-08-28T11:01:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-36/segments/1471982937576.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20160823200857-00140-ip-10-153-172-175.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.970726 | 178 |

When it is being used as an example of digital literacies.
Digital Literacy is a term that is increasingly being bandied about the web. Whilst not (yet?) as misused as digital natives – it is already beating this term three times over in the google matching game:
So what does it mean? On the 27th of June, Doug Belshaw will be launching a book which should help you approach/hone your definition, drawing on his Ed D thesis. The abstract of that is refreshingly short:
Digital literacy has been an increasingly-debated and discussed topic since the publication of Paul Gilster’s seminal Digital Literacy in 1997. It is, however, a complex term predicated on previous work in new literacies such as information literacy and computer literacy. To make sense of this complexity and uncertainty I come up with a ‘continuum of ambiguity’ and employ a Pragmatic methodology. This thesis makes three main contributions to the research area. First, I argue that considering a plurality of digital literacies helps avoid some of the problems of endlessly-redefining ‘digital literacy’. Second, I abstract eight essential elements of digital literacies from the research literature which can lead to positive action. Finally, I argue that co-constructing a definition of digital literacies (using the eight essential elements as a guide) is at least as important as the outcome.
Belshaw, D (2011) What is digital literacy? A Pragmatic investigation. Ed D Thesis shared under a CC0 license
Doug’s book builds on this, but is more than just a distillation of these ideas. It has been several years in the making and benefits from the ongoing reflection this has allowed. Its genesis reflects his commitment to open scholarship and shared scholarship. Draft chapters of the book have been available in advance of the final release, with comments encouraged. Doug used a tapering cost model – the earlier you got involved the lower the purchase cost. The final edition is DRM-free and sharing is permitted: he includes the line ‘You’re welcome to share it with your friends, but please do encourage them to purchase a copy if they find it useful.’
We all have to eat…
The book comprises nine chapters. The first is an introduction, which explains how the remainder of the book is structured and suggests paths through it. Chapter 2 attempts to define the problem this book addresses. Doug explores the ideas of ‘digital’ and ‘literacy’ (in reverse order) and the reader learns to replace the concept of literacy with literacies. Chapter 3 stresses the ambiguous nature of such ideas, arguing that this ambiguity should be actively embraced rather than avoided. Models of digital literacies are critiqued in chapter 4, with an alternative – Doug’s eight Essential Elements of Digital Literacies offered in chapter 5. The rest of the book tries to apply this framework. Chapter 6 uses memes as an way to understand digital texts. The next chapter looks at remixes (with a brief nod to copyright) and chapter 8 (perhaps unsurprising given Doug’ s current work at Mozilla) looks at coding the web. The final chapter provides a conclusion and encourages the reader to rip and remix the book.
Doug manages to draw a lot of ideas together in his book – we travel from the invention of the printing press to the World of Warcraft. He blends ideas from academic disciplines – education, linguistics, history, computing, philosophy – with everyday life – gaming, cooking, even furniture. The result could be a terrible pastiche, but it is not. Doug avoids this by weaving the thread of digital literacies through the book, thus demonstrating the value this lens can provide. Some chapters are flagged as skip this if you like, but I think they are accessible enough and worthy of reading. Some sections (such as the challenge to the requirement for linear progress in education) leave you wanting more (note this is not necessarily a criticism).
A real strength of the book are the well-chosen examples used throughout – no technical knowledge is assumed. To illustrate the potential confusions around copyright Doug uses the concept of recipes (yes, as in cooking) and he derives an enormous amount of meaning from an ugly looking baby* and cheezy cats when analyzing internet memes.
*Apologies to his mother, flickr user Laney G. Checking her photostream shows said picture to be an uncharacteristic shot. He’s better looking than me, I think I should stop there…
In summary, The Essential Elements of Digital Literacies is a short, informative book written in a clear, often amusing style. If I was being really picky it could probably benefit from one less font, but that is a minor criticism and does not detract from the thoughtfulness of the debate. I think it is one of those books that cannot be read widely enough and I recommend it to anyone. Reading it will not instantly make you digital literate, but it will give you an understanding of why this is important and offers a framework to help you reflect on your own practice and that of others. | <urn:uuid:4f47eb21-99b6-4b45-bca7-9bebf26f6bbd> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://wrote-learning.net/tag/model/ | 2021-03-03T20:22:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178367790.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20210303200206-20210303230206-00005.warc.gz | en | 0.951167 | 1,056 |
Hello, how are you? I hope you had a fantastic Thanksgiving and are getting ready for the upcoming end of year holidays. Today I wanted to talk about writing and the different avenues we can take to turn it into multiple sources of income. Also, how to stay steadfast in your commitment to yourself and not be ‘short changed’ by clients that don’t value your worth.
A short story
I acquired a freelance client via LinkedIn about a year ago. In retrospect, I landed him because I am a good editor/writer but also because I was first starting out and so I was cheap – dirt cheap. He would send me copyediting/copywriting projects and at first he had unrealistic expectations of how long it should take me (I was working a fulltime job as well then). I’d start, send him the project and my bill, and he would tell me he ‘sent it to someone else’ because I didn’t get back to him in time.
After a discussion about that, he said he liked my work and told me he was only going to work with me directly. I obliged – still charging my measly fee. After six months, he told me he needed more from me and even offered to pay more.
I thought about it. Why wouldn’t I accept more? If someone feels I am worthy of more money, then I certainly am (some writers and artists inherently undervalue their skills – I was one of them). So, he sent me two other projects that took two hours and I sent him my bill, at my new rate… and I told him how long it took. He emailed me back saying, “Two hours? Really?” I wasn’t sure if that was good or bad. I always put my hours and fee on the bill. Maybe he never looks at it… I have been cc’d on a couple emails when he tells someone else to send me a check.
Did I mess up? Did I blow it, so to speak?
No. It is important for people to know how long a job takes… they don’t have to know all the details, but if someone thinks it should only take twenty minutes to copyedit a five-page document, it is really up to me to let them know it takes a lot longer – especially if I am copyediting and copywriting the same document – these two copy jobs are not the same thing.
I got my check in the mail, but I haven’t heard anything else from that client.
Other ways to earn
I recently quit a well paying full-time job to pursue a few of my dreams. True I miscalculated my funds (and severance pay I was promised but never received) but over the last three weeks my stress has been at an all-time low and I am sleeping better.
It is important to have more than one way to earn money. Besides a part-time day job and selling jewelry on Etsy, I write to earn my money. I pitched an idea to Roadtrippers Magazine and they accepted it on the first shot! Roadtrippers Magazine (online) is a great source for people who love to drive on the open road and visit wonderful, peculiar places rich in culture and history. That’s a big part of who I am, so I can see me having multiple articles on there once I get this first one finished. I have a deadline in a little less than two weeks and I am excited to submit my final, polished article. I just need to get back to the area I am writing about, snap a few pictures and get a short interview with a local. Stay tuned for the article link.
Protip about Roadtrippers: make sure there isn’t already an article about the place you want to write about. They have a ton of places that are open for a pitch if you search the website.
There are always many places to find freelance work. If you are trying to build a portfolio, look into a local newspaper or even friends and relatives that might need something written on a blog or website. In my opinion, I try to stay away from sites like Fiverr and Upwork. LinkedIn and BloggingPro are better for legitimate freelance jobs. I’m not saying the former two are horrible, but if you’re starting out, gigs on there are a lot of work for a few pennies and it can be tempting to get sucked into thankless work like that just to make a few bucks. I made the mistake of accepting a job once and the person was not 100% forthcoming. She wanted me to write thirty-three greeting card verses for what came out to eleven cents each. Um… no thanks.
So, if you are looking for ways to make money between writing novels look into various forms of freelance writing. LinkedIn is one of the best places to find jobs. But there are many others.

It’s back to school time! Can you believe it?!We love our teachers and always want to give them a little back to school gift at the start of each school year. Just a little something to let them know we already are thankful for what they will be doing the next year with our kiddos! A little “thank you for being a teacher” gesture. I have no problem with people giving gift cards, sweets, snacks, etc…but around here we like to make our teacher gifts (or at least make most of the gift). I guess that’s the crafter in me! This teacher themed DIY pencil vase is the perfect gift and can hold your teachers favorite flowers OR can be a container for anything he/she wishes.
Cute Pencil Vase DIY Tutorial
DIY Pencil Vase Supplies Needed:
- Pencils (or colored pencils)
- Plastic Cup or Empty Soup Can
How To Make A Colored Pencil Vase:
Gather your supplies and head to the table. This is a very easy project but is a little time consuming. Start with your plastic cup and pencils. Add a few drops of glue down the back of a pencil and place on the cup. Hold till dry and do this around the entire cup. I used Gorilla Glue so my pencils only took about 20 seconds to hold onto the cup. I would recommend using some type of quick drying glue or hot glue so that this doesn’t take you too long to finish. As you are gluing your pencils around your cup, make sure to keep them super straight as you are placing them side by side. If one of your pencils is even the slightest bit leaning to one side, your end pencils will not line up properly!
Once you are finished gluing and your glued pencils have dried, tie a ribbon or two around the outside for a little extra touch. Pick out ribbons that are your school colors!
Before delivering your gift, add some fresh flowers! Do you give teachers back to school gifts? If you would like to give a little inexpensive gift this year, try your hand at this fun pencil vase! | <urn:uuid:7fedb5ad-4e0b-4f40-9c31-0325d1f85782> | CC-MAIN-2022-27 | https://familyfocusblog.com/diy-back-school-pencil-vase/ | 2022-07-02T22:33:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-27/segments/1656104205534.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20220702222819-20220703012819-00116.warc.gz | en | 0.952158 | 470 |
The arrests in the northern departments of La Guajira, Cordoba and Magdalena were part of Operation Roma, a police offensive against the group, under which 50 arrest warrants have been issued.
Among those captured in La Guajira was Jose Joaquin Padilla, alias “Magnifico,” believed to be a chief financial officer for the Urabeños.
In Cordoba, seven people were captured in a joint operation carried out by the police and army in the rural area of Monteria, while police in Magdalena captured 18 alleged gang members.
Those arrested face a litany of charges including drug trafficking, manufacturing and possession of drugs, conspiracy to murder, illegal possession of weapons and aggravated murder.
Police Commander Oscar Gamboa Arguello said Operation Roma will continue until all 50 subjects of the arrest warrants have been captured. | <urn:uuid:3b36a69b-7b16-4ecf-b2ae-c1daa21b7e6e> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.insightcrime.org/news/brief/colombia-captures-29-urabenos-gang-members/ | 2020-07-09T05:38:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655898347.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20200709034306-20200709064306-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.964522 | 177 |

LSU DT Anthony Johnson declared for the NFL Draft, and he brings the SEC’s total to eight underclassmen leaving thus far.
Johnson didn’t have the season he wanted at LSU, making 35 tackles, nine tackles for loss and just three sacks, but it’s the best time for Johnson to leave. Although scouts will point to a mediocre college career, the truth is Johnson will have a monster combine because he’s an athletic freak. He’ll run, test and measure well, and scouts will see his tremendous upside on display at the NFL Combine.
Many decisions will come in the near future, but here are the ones who have made public declarations thus far:
- Chris Boyd, WR, Vanderbilt (suspended for the 2013 season)
- Jadeveon Clowney, DE, South Carolina
- Mike Evans, WR, Texas A&M
- Victor Hampton, CB, South Carolina
- Anthony Johnson, DT, LSU
- Loucheiz Purifoy, CB, Florida
- Kelcy Quarles, DT, South Carolina
- Antonio Richardson, OT, Tennessee

City-Owned car parked in the daylight, and and pedestrian zones one day after SFMTA Board passed the resolution removing curb rights from property owners.
Day One After the SFMTA Board passed the Scoot Resolution giving Scoot a license to park at will FOR FREE on our city streets, including in our RPP zones, and in the painted red zones “curb cuts” next to our driveways, that they like to ticket us for parking in, a homeowner snapped the above photos of a city-owned vehicle “Air quality control” vehicle in a driveway on the corner, overlapping both the pedestrian intersection and the “daylight” on the corner, making it difficult to see around the corner and drive in and out of the driveway.
This was on Wednesday, one of the spare-the-air days, so SFMTA is breaking a lot of their rules here by allowing this car out on the street on a spare-the-air day, when their employees could easily take a ride on one of the many Muni lines in this transit rich area, and stand on the street corner to do their counts.
After shooting the photos, The homeowner approached the car, tapped on the closed window. to get it rolled down, and told the driver he couldn’t park in the driveway on the corner. He said, and I quote, “We have work to do and there is a parking problem here.”
After accusing the guy of being sent here to gather data to remove more parking on 17th Street, the resident pointed out a parking space across the street and let him know that there was ample shade over there so he could park and stand in the shade and do his job without being a nuisance. He ignored the request to move.
What did we learn this week?
We learned that the SFMTA Board has quietly removed our rights to park across our driveways without any public comment or discourse, in spite of warnings by Supervisor Fewer, SFMTA Director Ed Reiskin, and Board members Heineki and Hsu, that it may backfire on the Scoot program to throw so many wrenches into the works at one time. RESIDENTS may respond negatively to the Scoot program.
How do you feel about removal of curb rights for property owners?
The reasons given and the conversation about turning day-light parking areas over to Scoot are pretty infuriating. Thornley and Brikman got into a conversation about “curb rights” for property owners that have fed the SFMTA ticket machine for decades as they handed out tickets when owners complained. Thornley said SFPark, his baby, has been thinking of using corner areas for Scoots and shared cars and Brinkman decided now is as good a time as ever to change the tradition of curb rights for property owners.
A lot more was said but, the bottom line is that SFMTA pulled a Lucy by removing public parking rights under the guise of safety and is now turning those rights over to the private share enterprises that we are being inundate with in the name of clean air, safety, and you name it.
Why did the media not report this?
To their credit, there was a lot to report from the SFMTA Board meeting of June 20, 2017. They caught the big stories that required some digging to do a proper job on. I’m sure there will be plenty of complaints and negative Scoot stories out in no time. The SFMTA is testing our tolerance levels, putting Scoot in the cross-hairs, making Scoot the canary in the coal mine.
It is time for property owners, residents and merchants to rise to the occasion and demand a reversal of this plan. Call your supervisor and request a public hearing on this issue. If you object to corporate giveaways to the disruptive technologies that are killing the cultures of our city through gentrification and displacement, avoid Scoot and let the owners know why you are avoiding Scoot. Pedestrian groups that supported day-lighting may have something to say about this as well as property owners since their protections are on the line.
Get your concerns into the Board, Ed Reiskin and your supervisors when you see something wrong. Complaint programs are explained here: https://metermadness.wordpress.com/sfpark-compaints/
Many complaints about the way this meeting was conducted. People are looking into the manner in which the resolutions and amendments were passed. People who were there were not sure what happened and looking at the tape doesn’t make it any clearer. | <urn:uuid:aeab4ddd-38de-4737-b369-e314f1a75d91> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://metermadness.wordpress.com/2017/06/23/sfmta-pulls-another-lucy-on-us-this-time-giving-our-curbs-to-scoot/ | 2018-06-23T23:20:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267865438.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20180623225824-20180624005824-00069.warc.gz | en | 0.970524 | 951 |

Baxter International Inc. and other drug companies sold blood-clotting medicine for hemophiliacs that carried a high risk of transmitting AIDS to markets in Europe more than a year after switching to newer, safer products in the United States, according to a lawsuit filed here Friday.
The suit names as plaintiffs several dozen people in Italy and the United Kingdom who claim they, or a now deceased relative, contracted HIV from blood factor concentrates manufactured in the late 1970s and mid 1980s by six pharmaceutical companies and their subsidiaries. The suit says some plaintiffs also contracted Hepatitis C from the contaminated concentrates, called Factor VIII and Factor IX.
Baxter’s co-defendants in the suit are Bayer AG, Armour Pharmaceutical Co., Alpha Therapeutic Corp., Aventis Behring LLC and Immuno-US Inc.
Cutter Biological, a division of Bayer, introduced a safer medicine heat-treated to kill HIV in 1984, the same year a report from the Centers for Disease Control found 74 percent of hemophiliacs who received blood factors made from the plasma of U.S. donors were HIV positive.
Yet Cutter and other companies continued shipping the old products overseas for more than a year and “refused to recall old stocks of products they knew to be contaminated,” the suit said.
Baxter representatives declined to comment Friday. The other companies could not be reached.
A written statement from Bayer on behalf of Cutter, which was quoted in a 2003 New York Times article about similar claims surfacing in Asia and South America, said, “Decisions made nearly two decades ago were based on the best scientific information of the time and were consistent with the regulations in place.”
The plasma used to make the earliest versions of the blood-clotting medicine in the 1970s and 1980s came from thousands of paid donors who, in the infancy of the AIDS epidemic, were not tested for the virus. As a result, plasma from these donors often carried HIV and strains of hepatitis.
The suit alleges the companies knew about heat treatments and detergents that could kill bloodborne diseases but failed to use them on products shipped overseas. It also alleges the companies delayed using available tests to determine if plasma donors had a history of viral hepatitis.
The plaintiffs seek damages in excess of $75,000 and a jury trial to address charges of fraudulent ommission and concealment, wrongful death and negligence.
The suit was filed in the District Court of Northern Illinois because most of the companies manufactured a large percentage of their Factor VIII and IX concentrates in or near Illinois.

Unfortunately, no matter how secure an OS, the weak link is always the fleshy human bit attached to the keyboard. Even if you had a secure OS that blocked all remote execution of code from every conduit you can think of you would still get a retarded user legitimately installing malware.
As long as there are humans interfacing with computers your network is at risk. We need some kind of Social Engineering device that stops the naive and unwary being caught out. It's simply not possible to make a system (that can still be used by 95% of the population) that is 100% immune from malware.

With the transmission all buttoned up, at this point, the car was ready to be moved from outside under my makeshift tent, into the garage to have the motor installed. I picked up a set of Yokohama S-Drive tires in 205/55/16 and had them mounted on some 16×8 XXR 513 wheels. This was a temporary setup until I could find what I was really after… Wheel and tire package ran me $800 out the door. Thanksgiving Black Friday deals were to be had! But a problem came up when adding the new wheels that warranted closer inspection.
This was not a normal droop on the rear wheel. Turns out the rear strut on both sides tore through the rubber mount up in the strut tower. I spent a good 3 days looking for this replacement part, but it was no longer available. Hitting up all the normal spots, I was given a super secret name… “Z Specialties” up in Washington. After some talking, the owner assured me some good rubber from a wet climate like Washington would last me several years of good use if taken care of properly. A deal was struck for a used set off one of his parts cars, the parts were on their way.
The next day I started working on getting the engine put together.
Competition Clutch Stage 2 clutch and lightweight flywheel. Didn’t want anything too heavy, but the car still needed to be “streetable.”
Weber DCOE45 carbs added, along with the MSA 6-2-1 coated header, 2.5″ diameter. Some dress up bits, as well as the CSR electric water pump and trigger wheel were mounted on the stock crank pulley. The bracket for the magnetic pickup has also been mounted. The heat shield came from z car customs jdm (zccjdm.com) It caused problems and had to be removed. I couldn’t get this to seat properly no matter what I did with the carb. It uses the bolts which mount the carbs to the Cannon intake to hold it in place. For someone looking for a perfect seal, it wasn’t going to be a very good idea for the long term. I later sourced a real JDM heat shield and bits which worked perfectly. It doesn’t require the mounting bolts for the carb to hold the piece in place.
All assembled and ready to get installed! At the time, I was going to run air conditioning. However, it has since been removed. I am sometimes regretting that being in AZ, but I decided it would be a fun car to drive when we have nice weather. Similar to how people in the midwest or east coast pack their Z away for the winter, I pack mine away during the summer months when it’s over 100 degrees. I removed the AC system, as I was looking for more weight savings. I still have all the parts, so it may get added later.
Always handy when someone has a crane in their garage… Getting ready to put the engine in.
After some wrangling, the engine was in! Now the wiring can begin.

1. NCC Interprovincial Bridge Open House and Rally: Tuesday, June 12
Open House : 3 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Place: Shenkman Centre, Orleans
The open house will provide us with additional information from the Environmental Assessment.
As you may have noticed, a number of communities are opposing an east end bridge. Manor Park, Rockcliffe and New Edinburgh will be attending a rally planned for 7:30 p.m.
Everyone is invited to attend.
In Overbrook, we continue register the following concerns:
1) Budget – bridge costs in excess of $500 million. Estimation of expenditures only.
2) Long Range Traffic Issues and Planning – have not addressed the ongoing traffic on the Vanier Parkway and the expanding Ottawa boundaries. Will a bridge solve this or increase traffic?
3) East West Corridor and LRT planning – are large expenditures. Is this a top priority for all Ottawa residents? If yes, then budget should be prioritized for LRT.
2. Safety in Overbrook:

Hi again, earlier I posted about a blog network I joined few months ago, this is The Link Juicer. And I guess this will serve as a review. So the Link Juicer is certainly not the most popular blog network, but it still does what most do: syndicating content on blogs, and building links to your money site as well as the blogs your content got syndicated.
So this ensure you get your backlinks indexed and give you some great link juice. They even ping every bookmarks and post, create an XML feed and submit it to RSS sites.It shouldgive me great rankings… well, that was the theory.
My The Link Juicer Review
By visiting The Link Juicer, I found it a great deal, because it was supposed to really interesting Web2.0 sites and used great social bookmarking sites as for boosting your backlinks. When you see a picture like the one below (on the Overview page), it is very interesting:
And that’s just the “what you could get after a few days”, the “what you could get after few weeks” diagram is even more impressive. But I guess I should have read between the line because this overview of how it works and what you can achieve is actually just an “example” and not what is really provided as a service.
At the bottom of the page we can read ” Diagrams are illustrative and non-contractual. The actual sites supported by The Link Juicer may vary from time to time.” Let me tell you, this must have changed a lot, cause you will not get many links from those web 2.0 sites and they really should remove these diagrams and simply say that you will get links from WPMU blogs and only few social bookmarking sites.
The blogs where your content is syndicate don’t have a high PR, if any. Even if I know PR is not only factor to get you rankings, other blog networks have those, andit seems to provide rankings. You don’t get content posted to ay squidoo or hubpage or wordpress.com or blogger. More like WordPress MU blogs.
And the social bookmarks are only from few sites, maybe 2 or 3. I think I only got some from diigo (mainly), linkagogo and delicious.
Now, I really wanted to like this more than I do. I guess they will tell me that to get better rankings I should have less campaigns running so I could use more posts per day per campaign. Let me explain.
Indeed with your Link Juicer account, you can get upto 50 links per day. You choose how much you want. So if you create 10 campaigns you can choose to have 5 links created per day to each, or more for one campaign and less for another. It’s up to you.
So I created several campaigns, spreading links from 3 to 6 per day. I know you will say it’s maybe not enough but quite frankly after few months this still got me few hundreds of backlinks per campaign. Now, maybe these need to be indexed a little more, but I thought that this is what The Link Juicer would do automatically with social bookmarks, pinging and XML submissions.
I asked to the support why I only get bookmarks from diigo and linkagogo. Well, they answered:
“There were a number of public bookmarking sites. One by one they either bit the dust or changed their interface which broke our code. We plan to review this and add some more. The priority right now is to have a strong base of wordpress blogs and then to go after the bmk sites again.”
I don’t know how strong and when this will be the case but I don’t think I’ve seen an improvement on the network really. No communication about this.
So now, what are the results?
Well, nothing to brag about. Again, maybe it is because I haven’t used enough backlinks per campaign, but after 3 months… And for not so competitive keywords either.
On the 5 campaigns that I really wanted to see improvements in rankings, only one keyword seems to have moved, from 16 to 8. I have to say some of my other keywords were already on page 1. I sometimes saw a bit of movement and then back and stuck to the same positions, or even lower rankings.
Will I stay subscribed?
Well, I really want to try Build My Rank. But first I will let another chance to The Link Juicer, though I already have my idea on who is the most competitive. That’s the last month.
You can receive up to 50 links per day. And each campaign can receive a maximum of 20 links per day. So what I will do is increase the number of links per day to 20 on two campaigns and to 10 on one. This way I’ll get only 3 campaigns running, two at their maximum.
TheLinkJuicer has upgrade options so you can have more links per day to spread on your campaigns. This is still 50 links per day per account, and you can upgrade with 5 accounts increments.
The Link Juicer is $47 per month.
What you get?
- 50 links per day (1500 a month) automatically built to your site and blog posts linking to your site.
- The ability to spin content (title, description for bookmarks, tags…)
- A free 30 day trial.
Should you join?
Why not? It’s certainly worth a try, but I guess you want to go with the settings I tols you earlier. Go for a lower number of campigns and build more backlinks to those every day, just as I explained. There is a 30 days free trial. Posts need to be between 100 and 250 words. So prepare those posts in advance. Spin the content, title and bookmark text used both for your blog posts and the URL you will promote. If you join and don’t have content ready, you will lose a few days of using the service, even if it’s free for the first month.
Join and create 3 of those posts inside the members area and you can see if your 3 campaigns get some good. Click here to join The Link Juicer.
By joining now, and just for trying you can create a campaign that will have 600 links (20 links x 30 days) automatically built, spread between your site and your blog posts in one month. For free. If you don’t see major movements, cancel. Though I admit a site may need more than 30 days to see results, there’s no money back guarantee for the second month (which is a paid one) since you already got the first for free.
Let’s see if results change with these new settings.
I will update on that experiment in a month, well it’s going to be Christmas so maybe a bit later or before if things change.
See you soon. | <urn:uuid:d915910c-89e9-4b00-b097-05eac48eb323> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://imtrip.com/the-link-juicer-review-my-experience/ | 2017-10-17T11:34:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187821088.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20171017110249-20171017130249-00335.warc.gz | en | 0.960208 | 1,470 |

SO there’s a bunch of people who were upset at the sermon at the Royal Wedding today. It’s because the Rev. Michael Curry, an Episcopalian, mentioned slavery and cited Martin Luther King Jr.
So everyone is using the moment to slam each other up and down:
Imagine: A biracial American divorcee becomes British royalty, and upon her arrival at the chapel, brings with her a sermon that invokes #MLK, legacy+residue of #slavery & the redemptive, transformative power of #love— Krystafer Redden (@KrystaferRedden) May 19, 2018
That just happened.#BlackGirlMagic #StandByMe #RoyalWedding
Some people loved that they imagine it made the Brits uncomfortable:
Finally, Rev. Curry’s sermon. I’m not sure what’s giving me more life - the fact that he is quoting MLK & slave spirituals in front of people whose ancestors sanctioned slavery, or the incredible side-eyes that all the Brits are giving each other#RoyalWedding pic.twitter.com/d9EqDkLtnd— Hannah Goldman (@imhannahgoldman) May 19, 2018
Others are angry he even mentioned slavery:

What a sad disgrace this sermon was… COMPLETELY out of place at St. George’s Chapel… NOT THE PLACE FOR SLAVERY TALK… this guy had no concept of where he was and what appropriate behavior was. I feel terrible for Harry and Meghan… EVERYONE was embarrassed… #royalwedding
— Michael Lutz 🇺🇸 (@MikeyLutz619) May 19, 2018
Now, this is a dumb opinion. He only cited a negro spiritual from slaves in the antebellum South. He didn’t make it political, he just cited a beautiful song they sang about God’s love.
Here’s the entire sermon – the slavery part comes in at about the 6 minute mark:
But it should be controversial for a much different reason – there were very little mention of Jesus Christ. The reverend cited the Bible a few times, but it was mostly about love that people have for each other.
Now that’s not a bad thing, but a sermon should always focus on one thing – the redemptive act of God in offering Himself as a sacrifice to save all of humanity from their sins. He barely mentioned it.
But everyone is all upset about politics… and that says more about us than anything. | <urn:uuid:fb4dc300-a52c-41d3-998a-f94133d3c98a> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://therightscoop.com/the-sermon-a-the-royal-wedding-was-controversial-for-exactly-the-wrong-reason/ | 2018-06-21T11:56:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267864148.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20180621114153-20180621134153-00250.warc.gz | en | 0.932992 | 575 |

Cranes are among the most critical pieces of equipment used on construction sites. Alaska’s oldest crane company, North Star Equipment Services, understands that Alaska’s unique terrain and climate presents challenges for construction companies and projects. That is why we offer a large selection of high-quality Manitowoc and Grove cranes with the finest operators in Alaska, making our crane services safe and efficient.
Here are several Alaskan hazards that their crane operators can handle safely, efficiently and effectively:
- Below-Freezing Temperatures: Construction projects are often on strict budgets with deadlines, even during the cold Alaskan winter weather. The crane and operators constantly work in below-freezing temperatures with blowing snow. North Star Equipment Services cranes are featured with cold climate packages, including, generators, tank heaters, etc. to help keep the cranes running during these extreme Alaska conditions.
- Dangerous Ground Conditions: When the ground is frozen in Alaska there are days it will warm up, rain and refreeze, making the work surfaces even slicker. In other cases in spring or fall especially, the ground can be soft, muddy, and uneven. North Star Equipment Services needs to make certain the ground is level and compact prior to performing heavy lifts. In some instances, crane mats are used to improve ground stability.
- Poor Visibility: Alaska’s climate can change dramatically depending upon your location in the state. High winds can be dangerous, if the winds remain steady at over 20 mph they can shut a project down. In the winter snow makes it challenging due to the associated poor visibility. In some parts of the state it’s dark for months at a time. North Star Equipment Services fleet of cranes are outfitted with cold climate packages and powerful lights on the boom to help mitigate these risks.
We have been working in the Alaska climate for over 65 years, providing crane rental services with some of the most highly skilled operators in the state. We’re helping build Alaska’s largest private and government projects safely and reliably. | <urn:uuid:f816960f-9d9b-4fcc-8cba-24632e720135> | CC-MAIN-2021-04 | https://northstarak.com/discover-importance-cranes-construction-alaska/ | 2021-01-20T22:32:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-04/segments/1610703522133.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20210120213234-20210121003234-00419.warc.gz | en | 0.94172 | 421 |

Cities gear up for Canada Day fun
White Rock and Surrey are getting ready to celebrate Canada Day, and citizens are invited to join in the fun.
Highlights of the 32nd Canada Day by the Bay waterfront celebration in White Rock are to include children's activities such as a sandcastle-building event and kite display on East Beach; cake and a citizenship reaffirmation on West Beach; all-day entertainment on the main stage; and fireworks at dusk.
Visitors can also peruse the wares and talents of up to 40 artisans and vendors who will dot the promenade.
For anyone interested in helping out in White Rock, volunteers are being sought to hand out flags and pins, manage traffic and direct crowds.
In Surrey, a free concert featuring Trooper, Harlequin and Lisa Brokop will highlight this year's Canada Day festivities.
The July 1 event at the Cloverdale Millennium Amphitheatre is to also include performances by pop songstress and TV star Elise Estrada with The Latency; the Big River Johnny Cash Tribute; and Mark Donnelly, seen recently performing the Canadian and American anthems before the May 24 nail-biter game that clinched the Canucks' shot at the Stanley Cup.
Entertainment July 1 is scheduled to run all day. Other highlights are to include family friendly activities, amusement rides and a fireworks finale.
Gates open at 10 a.m. Fireworks are scheduled to light up the sky at 10:15 p.m. The amphitheatre is located at 64 Avenue and 176 Street.
“Surrey’s Canada Day festivities continue to impress year after year,” Mayor Dianne Watts said in a news release announcing the lineup last week. “This year’s celebration of Canada’s 144th birthday features a free concert with world-class performers… There is fun to be had by all and I look forward to seeing you there with your friends and family.” | <urn:uuid:35538f6a-e483-4d59-a772-cb57b67f618f> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.peacearchnews.com/community/122898089.html | 2016-10-21T16:33:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988718285.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183838-00366-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.94899 | 407 |
Pittsburgh Penguins superstar Sidney Crosby says he’s having a few butterflies — but no fear — ahead of his first NHL game since concussion problems knocked him out of action in January.
“I think anybody that has gone through this and missed this amount of time, you’ve got to make sure you get involved early and get that first hit under your belt,” Crosby told reporters Monday in Pittsburgh, hours before he was to take to the ice for his first game back.
“Maybe that means having to initiate that more myself in order to do that, but anybody that has gone through this realizes that, yeah, there is a feeling-out process to get back into it.
“As far as my confidence level of getting hit, it’s all there. I feel confident going to those areas and taking contact.”
Crosby will be in the lineup as the Penguins face the New York Islanders, his first action since Jan. 5, when he was knocked from a game against Tampa Bay after suffering a concussion. That was four days after he was knocked from the NHL’s Winter Classic after he was blindsided by David Steckel of the Washington Capitals.
He missed the remainder of the season and has been out of the lineup for the Penguins’ first 20 games of the 2011-12 campaign.
“I went to see the doctor (Sunday) and everything was good,” said Crosby, who was cleared to resume full-contact practices on Oct. 13.
“Everything has gone really smooth here the last little while. I was comfortable with how I felt going through contact. I was very comfortable and confident that I was able to come back. I went through all that stuff and here I am.”
The return has drawn huge media interest and had been likened to the comeback of Penguins great Mario Lemieux on Dec. 27, 2000, three years after he retired due to ongoing health issues. Lemieux had a three-point night — including an assist on his first shift — in a win over the Toronto Maple Leafs.
“He set the standard pretty high for first shifts in comebacks,” Crosby said, adding that he watched the game as a teenager in his hometown of Cole Harbour, N.S.
“It’s pretty hard to match that,” Crosby said. “Anyone who has missed a length of time like that, you’re just so happy to be back playing.”
The CBC added a special Monday edition of Hockey Night in Canada to its lineup to broadcast the Penguins-Islanders game, and the Versus network in the U.S. switched its Monday night game from Montreal-Boston to Pittsburgh-New York to accommodate Crosby’s return.
“This has been big, so yeah, I’ve got a little bit of an idea,” Crosby said when asked about the magnitude of his return.
“At the same time I’m just trying to enjoy being back. It’s been long. I’ve never been away from hockey for that long, so I’m just excited to play again.”
The hockey world has been abuzz since the Penguins announced Sunday that Crosby was set to return to action.
On Monday, no one was more thrilled about the news than Crosby himself.
“It’s something I’ve thought about a lot over the last 10 months, so it’s pretty exciting. You don’t always get this anxious for games and this is one I can definitely say I’m anxious and excited for.”
Even though the Penguins have thrived in Crosby’s absence — they have a 11-6-3 record and are tied for first place in the Eastern Conference with Philadelphia — having Sid the Kid back on the ice is expected to be tremendous boost.
“I think he’ll be back in fine form tonight,” Penguins winger Tyler Kennedy told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. “You’ll see. He’ll be good tonight.”
The Islanders, meanwhile, aren’t about to treat Crosby gingerly.
“If you’re not playing him hard, if you’re not finishing your check on him, he can make you look stupid,” Islanders forward Matt Moulson told USAToday. “He’s obviously gone through a whole lot of different tests and seen a slot of doctors and he’s been cleared to play, and I think everyone trusts that that’s correct.
“We’re going to play him just as hard as we would before any of this happened. Obviously, we’re not going to jump and elbow him in the head, just like we wouldn’t anyone, but we’re going to play him to (NHL disciplinarian Brendan) Shanahan’s rules and play him hard.” | <urn:uuid:9dec52cf-f287-4ed9-b364-8a6bbaf06b77> | CC-MAIN-2014-10 | http://sports.nationalpost.com/2011/11/21/pittsburgh-penguins-sidney-crosby-anxious-to-get-back-on-the-ice/ | 2014-03-09T07:56:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-10/segments/1393999675662/warc/CC-MAIN-20140305060755-00052-ip-10-183-142-35.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.976322 | 1,046 |

Yesterday I was invited to the Maui Jim Wimbledon tennis clinic to check out some sunglasses and play some tennis with tennis legend Martina Hingis, Serena William’s coach Patrick Mouratoglou and Garbine Muguruza. It was a fantastic lineup and what a way to learn to play tennis. However, can I just clarify, I didn’t actually play, but I sent my husband as I was busy taking photos for the blog and posting on social media. He loved it! He played with Martina, Patrick and Garbine.
I have been blogging for six years now and believe it or not, this year is the first time I have ever attended! Madness, right? The Maui Jim Wimbledon tennis clinic event is an annual event. From what I can remember, every year there was either a wedding or a big milestone birthday I had to attend. Then in 2015 I had my baby and took a year out, but that year I did send my husband and my brother to go on my behalf.
So, what did I think of the eyewear? I personally am a huge fan of Maui Jim Sunglasses, the lens quality is just amazing and you really can see better with them on. The clarity of the lenses are just superb, which makes seeing colours and your surroundings in general, twice as good. They give definition to everything you are seeing or basically, it feels like you are seeing things in the best light all the time. Such as, the blues of the sky look bluer, the clouds have more definition to them, the grass looks greener (really greener) and in general just help you to see your world better. It is something that is hard to explain and you need to experience them yourself.
Maui Jim has a huge fan based in the sports world and hence, yesterday we were in Wimbledon playing tennis. For any sportsman or sportswoman, it is so important to wear the correct eyewear in order to see better, focus on what they are looking at (ie, the tennis ball) and block out any glare. If you want to invest in a pair of sunglasses that are high quality with fantastic protections for your eyes, then I highly recommend you to give Maui Jim a try. Especially if you love to play sports.
During yesterdays event, Maui Jim also announced they have extended their relationship with eye care charity Optometry Giving Sight. For any pair of Maui Jim sold during a sporting event, Maui Jim will provide access to vision care for children in need. This campaign will be running for 12 months and they are kicking things off now, during Wimbledon at their pop-up shop which you cannot miss if you are heading down to Wimbledon. Buy a pair to aid you to see your world better and help a child in need. | <urn:uuid:e6d589e6-f302-47c0-b4f7-01030c4cb1f9> | CC-MAIN-2020-05 | https://www.myglassesandme.co.uk/2017/07/maui-jim-wimbledon-event/ | 2020-01-22T14:48:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-05/segments/1579250607118.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20200122131612-20200122160612-00457.warc.gz | en | 0.975863 | 586 |
Chicken In A Spinach, Cilantro, and Mustard Sauce Recipe
Oh my. Even if you think Indian food is complicated, or that it must be because it tastes so darn good, don’t fret. This is easy. It does have a couple ingredients that might not already be in your pantry. Most notably, the cardamom pods, maybe the dried red chiles, but for the most part I think you’re going to do just fine.
I found this recipe in Madhur Jaffery’s Quick and Easy Indian Cooking and it is both. I have made other Indian dishes in the past that were neither, and though they were delicious, the roasting, grinding, braising and simmering were a bit much.
This one is just right. A quick sear, some light simmering and BAM (to steal a phrase), you’re there! Also, if you’re looking for a vegetarian option, make this with large chunks of potatoes. Just cook them like the chicken. It’s really incredible. They’ll brown and then steam and finally add a little thickness to the sauce. Serve with some whole wheat tortillas, or better yet, try your hand at making some fresh naan. You won’t be disappointed.
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- 3 bay leaves
- 6 cardamom pods
- 1-inch stick of cinnamon
- 5 whole cloves
- 2 dried, hot chiles
- 2 ¼ pounds chicken, cut in pieces
- ¼ cup golden raisins
- 6 Tbsp plain yogurt
- 1 ¼ tsp salt
- Freshly ground pepper
- 2-inch piece of fresh ginger, grated or finely chopped
- 1-2 fresh green chiles, hot
- ½ packed fresh cilantro
- ½ bunch fresh spinach, steamed until just wilted
- 3 Tbsp stone ground mustard
- Heat oil in large, heavy-bottomed pan over medium to medium-high heat. Add bay leaves, cardamom pods, cinnmon, cloves and dried chiles. Roast until bay leaves become a few shades darker, about 30 seconds. Add chicken pieces and brown on all sides.
- When browned, mix in raisins and yogurt, season with salt and pepper and reduce to a simmer. Cover tightly and simmer for 15 minutes.
- In a food processor combine 3 tablespoons water with ginger and green chiles. Blend until it forms a paste, then add cilantro and spinach. Push down with a spatula and blend until coarsely chopped. Move to a bowl and mix in mustard.
- Remove lid from chicken and add green sauce. Stir to mix, bring to a simmer and cover for another 10 minutes or until chicken is tender. Remove bay leaves, cardamom pods, cinnamon stick, whole cloves and dried chiles before serving.
