The term ‘Egg of Columbus’ is used when describing an incredibly trivial way of solving a problem that seemed to have no solution. In fact, it is said that Christopher Columbus was invited to a dinner on his return from America and that during this banquet some Spanish gentlemen tried to belittle his exploits, saying that anyone would succeed.
Well Columbus challenged them to put an egg straight on the table, without it falling. Failing this, the gentlemen challenged Columbus, asking him to do it too: the navigator lightly tapped the egg on the plane and there he left it, straight and still. The Spaniards complained that they too could do something like this and Columbus replied that they could do it, but he had done it. | <urn:uuid:3f245218-dfce-4ad2-b84b-096378064e78> | CC-MAIN-2021-31 | https://anfalidrissi.com/why-is-it-called-columbuss-egg/ | 2021-08-01T06:39:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-31/segments/1627046154163.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20210801061513-20210801091513-00079.warc.gz | en | 0.984045 | 150 |

We are living in perilous times. The greatest of the perils may be the failure of the Church to teach sound doctrine and stand in the whole counsel of God. The second greatest failure as a result of the first is giving heed to seducing spirits and the false prophetic that fills the vacuum churches and preachers have left for not preaching the baptism and the great work of the Holy Spirit.
Here’s a recent quote by Mario Murillo:
“Today we are swimming in more false teaching, false prophecy and false Christianity than ever before. All across the internet ministries dabble in new age hybrids of Christian faith, exotic extremes, drunkenness and even perversion. Turns out, the church is the other swamp that needs draining.”
Deception is everywhere.
A TRAGIC ENDING
I’d like to share another story that will serve as one more example of a deceived people, who due to not hearing the whole counsel of God had become comfortable in their sinful lifestyle. This true account does not end well and serves to show the tragic consequences of the failure to preach the real gospel.
Years ago I took a Bible school group of 10 students to a church in a large city in America. God led me to preach a very strong message on repentance. As I was giving the altar call people began to come forward. Before I could instruct them, however, the pastor stepped in and brought the entire service to a halt. He accused me of being hard and defended himself and his people, saying that they were all just as saved as I or anyone else was. He then asked me to come to his office and further reprimanded me for my message. The Lord told me to keep my mouth shut and not say anything. This pastor then cancelled the rest of the meetings we were to have in his church, and also called all the other churches in the area that we were scheduled to minister in and convinced the pastors of those churches to cancel the remainder of our meetings as well.
Within a day or two of that particular meeting I received a vision from the Lord to explain what had happened in that church. In the vision he showed me a large snake all coiled up on top of a mound of sand. Then he showed me cocking my right arm back and firing a rock that hit him right between the eyes. Suddenly that snake uncoiled, raised up his ugly head, and hissed loudly while shaking violently and scattering sand everywhere. His secure stronghold had been threatened. The Lord showed me that there were serious sin issues in that church beginning with the pastor himself, and the message I preached shook and unsettled everything.
Sometime later a brother whom we found favor with from this hosting church wrote me at my request to let me know what transpired in that church over the next several years. Within two years the children’s pastor was charged with child molestation. Think of the damage done to those children. Then the pastor’s daughter, a married woman, was caught having an affair with her boss. Her husband died a couple of years later. This adulteress woman has a beautiful daughter who loves Jesus, but to this day she enjoys no relationship with her. This is the rotten fruit of sin.
That’s not all, though. A few years later the host pastor, who was responsible for virtually kicking us out of town and canceling all our meetings, suddenly fell dead of a massive heart attack on a Sunday morning right before a service. Another pastor, who had cancelled our meetings because the host pastor encouraged him to, was also caught in adultery and lost his church. It turns out this other pastor only cancelled our meetings because the host pastor was the biggest financial contributor of his television ministry.
All these casualties happened because people were made to feel comfortable in their sins; because no one preached the confrontational aspects of the gospel. Judgment caught up with people in this church because they were not willing to judge themselves. Think about that. And think about their eternal fate.
PREACH THE REAL GOSPEL AND THE WHOLE COUNSEL OF GOD
Evil and wickedness are actually strengthened when preachers fail to stand in the counsel of the Lord and speak His words.
“They strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none returns from his wickedness…But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings” (Jer. 23: 14, 22).
Somehow people think it is mean-spirited and even condemning to preach the cross and a confrontational gospel that deals with sin and worldliness and calls people to repentance, when actually it is the mercy of God and His saving grace to do so.
The real life examples I listed above are a direct result of a failure to preach the real gospel and to warn people of impending judgment and the consequences of sin. Sadly, there are multitudes in hell today because they were lied to or deceived and didn’t hear the truth of the gospel. They heard another version that never told them to repent and turn from their sins.
Ministers will be held accountable for not preaching the full counsel of God. God hates deception because it eventually destroys people, brings judgment upon them, and is eternally fatal. Notice again these extremely strong words from the Amplified version of the Bible and the very heavy indictment given to those who preach another gospel:
“But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to and different from that which we preached to you, let him be accursed (anathema, devoted to destruction, doomed to eternal punishment)! As we said before, so I now say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel different from or contrary to that which you received [from us], let him be accursed (anathema, devoted to destruction, doomed to eternal punishment)” (Gal 1:8-9 Amp)!
Do we really believe that such a horrific curse pronounced on false preachers of a false gospel is in the Bible? Does this really mean what it says? Whenever something is repeated in the same context of Scripture we better pay very close attention to it and understand God’s heart in the matter. His anger and severity with all those who preach another gospel is glaringly evident here.
Why is this most damning terminology used to devote and doom men to destruction and eternal punishment? I’ll tell you why: Because a false gospel deceives and damns souls. It insults the precious blood of Christ and the agony and sacrifice He made for the sin of the world. It takes away the glory from the redemptive work of Jesus. It stains and contaminates the glorious bride of Christ. And in this context, it threatened to cause these young Galatian converts to depart from Christ and the real faith and return to the Law.
“Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea” Mat 18:6).
“Therefore I testify to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of all men. For I have not shunned to declare to you the whole counsel of God” (Acts 20:26-27).
I don’t want the blood of sinners on my hands because of a failure to preach the real Biblical gospel. Paul preached in order to present every man perfect in Christ Jesus (Col 1:28). May we do the same and save our necks and those who hear us.
Our books are forerunners to personal holiness, the move of God, and the return of the Lord. They also combat the departure from the faith and the turning away from the truth we are seeing in our day. The Real Gospel, The Real Jesus, The Real Salvation, and The Real Spirit Of Revival are especially strategic in trumping the many falsehoods spreading in the modern day Church.

The first novel in a sparkling and sexy new contemporary romance series about four best friends looking for love in all the right places—and the one woman who discovers that it takes more than an impeccable bedside manner to make dreams come true…
Lauren Hastings is finally ready to enter the real world. At twenty-six, she’s about to get her master’s in psychology, and she’s well on her way to beginning the career of her dreams—until she suffers public humiliation and has to endure something she thought she’d never have to deal with again: a part-time job.
A gig at Trinity Hospital isn’t exactly Lauren’s definition of a good time, but Dr. Scott Jacobs quickly changes her mind. He’s straight-up gorgeous, and he always gets what he wants. And that includes Lauren. It’s an ideal arrangement for both of them. No strings. Just fun—at least at first.
But feelings quickly begin to run deeper than either Lauren or Scott is willing to admit, causing issues neither of them want to confront. After all, who wants to risk the perfect relationship on something as terrifying, as messy, and as unpredictable as love?
I thought I'd like this book. All signs pointed that direction. The cover, the blurb, the romance. Yes, it looks like my kind of book.
But the first 40 pages were a no go for me. I didn't like Lauren a lot. And, while I liked Scott more, it wasn't a lot more. I hesitated. Do I really want to finish this? After all, I'm a pretty character driven reader. And I really didn't like Lauren. She was mouthy and rude, proud of her ballbuster nickname. The good news was that Scott could handle her. And I did enjoy their banter. So I kept reading.
SO GLAD I KEPT READING. Here's the thing, the first 40 or so pages these characters feel like they are trying to impress the world. Trying too hard. Trying to be strong and bold characters that make a statement. Then they settle down into getting to knew each other and I ended up liking them.
Lauren has some pain in her past. Her brother and a past fling still haunt her. She's good at reading people and speaks before she thinks on a regular basis. But when she starts being real, she feels like a friend. One that you need to protect sometimes but who is definitely in charge of protecting you all the time. And I liked her.
Scott's pain is different but very real. He doesn't do relationships for a powerful reason. That reason is one he just doesn't examine anymore. And I love his brother. His big brother who helps him see how things really are and insist that he re-examine. Once Scott decides to re-examine, he figures things out. And it's only fair that he does, he gives his patience that kind of compassion - he deserves the same.
Together these two are combustible. While Lauren is bossy outside the bedroom, she lets Scott be in charge in the bedroom. And that boy is the boss...hehe. Inside joke there. I did enjoy their heated moments together.
And then there are the friends waiting in the wings for their own story. I wonder if Sam will get his. He needs one too. Just sayin'. Looks like Scott's brother, Tim, and Quinn, Lauren's friend, are next. I read the teaser in the back of this book and it looks good. I really like both of these characters and can see them together. Looking forward to it.
If you love your women mouthy and your men confident, then this is the book for you. But really, give this one at least 75 pages before you judge. It's so good after that.

I found the pattern for this adorable Simple Six-Pocket bag a few months ago and just came across the bookmark last week. With some fun Ikea fabric and a free afternoon, I put one together. I really love how it turned out, but I have to say there are a few things I’d tweak the next time. One, I’d make the straps longer. Maybe it’s because I’m so tall, but the straps feel short and can barely fit over my shoulder. I’d also add a closure; even a simple magnetic closure would be perfect. The bag can flop open pretty easily, and that would solve the problem.Next time, I might even make it a big larger.
The best thing about the bag are the pockets. Six pockets line the outside and they’re perfect for my phone, lip balm, business cards, etc.
I will definitely be making this bag again, or using it for inspiration for different sizes, and fabrics. The pattern was simple, well-written and very easy to follow. And everywhere I carried this weekend I received compliments. And that’s really the best part.

There are many similarities with the problems of fellow Euro member - Greece. But, there are differences.
source: Spain's problem P.Krugman
The Spanish economy has become increasingly uncompetitive. Wages have risen faster than other countries leading to a decline in relative productivity. This has led to a decline in demand and rising unemployment. Again, like Greece, Spain has no ability to devalue to regain competitiveness.
Boom and Bust
Spain had a spectacular boom - focused on housing and construction. This led to a rise in house prices and a rise in house building. Though Spain avoided the irresponsible subprime mortgage markets (in fact Spanish bank - Santander has made great strides in capturing market share in the UK), the rise in Spanish house prices was punctured, leading to a large fall in prices. Unlike the UK, Spain has now a large stock of surplus houses that nobody wants. This excess supply will depress house prices for much longer than in the UK.
The fall in house prices and decline in construction industry has had a big impact on GDP and jobs. The construction industry was a key factor in the Spanish economy but is now struggling, leading to a high number of job losses. Some 900,000 of the new unemployed are largely unskilled construction workers.(2)
Spain has had a persistent long term unemployment problem. This has only been exacerbated by the recession and boom and bust. In Dec 2009, Unemployment was just below 19%. This places a huge strain on government finances, but, more importantly is a real social and personal loss for those (mostly young people) who find themselves unemployed.
The problem is there seems little immediate hope of a change in fortunes. Whilst the economy is uncompetitive, there is no obvious source of growth and development.
Prospect of Deflation
CPI inflation in Dec 2009 was 0.9%. But, the deflationary forces in Spain - the prospect of wage cuts, fiscal tightening and a continued fall in house prices could create deflation (a fall in prices). Deflation would further depress the economy and make the economy struggle to recover from this bust.
Rise in Government Borrowing
Spain has a reasonably good set of public finances - public sector debt is currently 59.5% of GDP (2009 est.) - though this is a sharp deterioration on 2008 when gross debt was 40.7% of GDP (1). Spain has gone from budget surplus in 2007 to a deficit of over 10% of GDP last year (2). The recession has caused a large rise in government borrowing. Total debt is not too high, but, the rapid deterioration causes an additional headache. The fiscal tightening will at best do nothing to help the economy recover. | <urn:uuid:fa574184-bfee-4df4-8bc2-45f905839caf> | CC-MAIN-2017-39 | http://econ.economicshelp.org/2010/02/problems-with-spanish-economy.html | 2017-09-21T03:20:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-39/segments/1505818687606.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20170921025857-20170921045857-00119.warc.gz | en | 0.964288 | 547 |
Drug could provide new treatment approach for overweight people with diabetes
The drug rimonabant, can reduce bodyweight and improve control of blood glucose levels and other cardiovascular risk factors in people with type 2 diabetes, according to an Article in this week's issue of The Lancet. The findings suggest that this drug could be used as a new approach for treatment of diabetes where other drugs have failed.
Type 2 diabetes is usually diagnosed in adulthood and is treated with either dietary changes alone or drugs. Diabetes is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, and often coexists with other risk factors, such as abdominal obesity, unhealthy blood lipid levels, and raised blood pressure. The treatment of these risk factors is central to the management of type 2 diabetes.
In the latest study, Andre Scheen (University of Liege, Belgium) and colleagues investigated the effects of rimonabant on 1047 overweight or obese patients with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes, despite treatment with standard diabetes drugs. The patients were given a diet plan that provided slightly fewer calories than they needed and were advised to be more physically active, to help induce weight loss. They were also given either rimonabant--in a dose of either 5 mg per day or 20 mg per day--or a placebo. The patients followed this regimen for a year.
The investigators showed that after a year, patients given rimonabant lost significantly more weight than those given the placebo. Patients given the placebo lost an average of 1•4 kg compared with a weight loss of 2•3 kg in those given 5 mg per day of rimonabant and 5•3 kg in those given a 20 mg per day dose of the drug. Patients given rimonabant also had greater improvements in waist circumference, blood glucose control, blood lipids, and better appetite control than those given the placebo.
The authors conclude: "These findings support the use of 20 mg per day of rimonabant, in addition to diet and exercise, as a new approach to reduce bodyweight and improve blood glucose control as well as several other cardiovascular risk factors in overweight or obese patients with type 2 diabetes that was inadequately controlled by standard treatment."

Joliet Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyer
Victims of traumatic brain injuries (TBI) can suffer a wide variety of serious side effects, some of which may last a lifetime. Depending on the severity of the accident and the resulting injury, victims may suffer varying levels of memory loss, propensity for violent outbursts and other changes in personality, decrease in motor skills, and other issues. In their most severe form, traumatic brain injuries can leave the victim in a persistent vegetative state or result in his or her death.
These are life-changing injuries that, if the victim survives, often require permanent medical care. When these injuries happen in an accident that was caused due to the negligence of another person, victims likely have a claim for damages against the responsible parties.

really sad but the risk officers take
The saddest part is if our governmemt would enforce the immigration laws that we have today, this tragic incident may have been avoided. As a law enforcement officer in this county, I can tell you that if an illegal immigrant has not committed murder, (as this one has) they really have no interest in deporting these illegals. As I once told a mexican national that I had stopped for a traffic violation, (later to find that he had a bogus driver's license and social security card) my family entered this country as immigrants 150 years ago. They chose to report to the gonernment that they were here and have lived a citizens, worked, obeyed the laws of the land, and paid taxes. Too much to ask? I don't think so. GET LEGAL OR GET OUT.
Can anyone explain to me how authorities allow illegals to remain here? How do illegals get valid driver's licenses and social security cards? What laws allow them to remain?
i must commend the officers for the way they handled the prisoner even after the no good pice of crap told them that he shot the officer because it was easy i say we fire up sparky agian may the lord be with the widow and the officers family
They are here because regardless of what we say we want them. They take the jobs no one else wants. In Mexico the wage per hour for most non skilled labor is about $1.50/hour. Here they make $8.50/hour and get lunch for free. They cut our lawns and build our houses and bus our tables in restaurants. If you don't like it stop supporting it.
Anonymous#2 reply. If your are talking to me, I dont support it. I have no problem with immigrants comming to our country to work. All I'm saying is get LEGAL, as most of our families did when they came here from where ever. The support comes from the employers who chose to employ these illegals, paying them cash and turning their heads from the system. In answer to another, they DO NOT get valid driver's licenses and social security cards. They get them several ways, but the mose common is they get a package deal when they pay whom ever to get them across the border. The deal usually includes a DL ans SS card. after speaking to an illegal that had been arrested, I realized how easy it is to get bogus ID. Your federal government is dropping the ball. (Never really picked it up)
I agree we should deport every last one of them...and what in Gods name are the people checking when they issue these drivers liscenses....just remember back a few year when those 6 people from around here were killed by that rock truck....that driver was illegal and with a fake social security card and the DPS issued him a CDL to drive a big truck...he had been deported once already and was told to stay out of our country for 10 years!!!!! Six lives gone just like that....I say we I say we round em up and ship em out. I they sneak back in shoot em!
lest we forget the fact that the guy was not supposed to here is just one of the problems the big one is that the rat bastard shot a cop and said that it was easy and that is why he did so as far as the get legal or get out that will never happen we as a nation are to lax on the problem and we donot have the resources to keep them out all we can do as citizens to help the problems of illegal alliens is to report them to the police and show our support and voice our oppions every time one of them does somthing like this as a matter of fact we should write or email the district attonerys office in dallas to encourge them on this matter that we as citzens stand behind them and encourage them to seek the max penalty the law allows for them to seek
why the heck do we have to learn their language to talk to them when they came to OUR country? Makes me sick.....and mad
Anon 9:46 pm-----I agree totally. And I'm sorry, I am not racist but if you can't speak our language then you shouldn't be able to get our resources (i.e. food stamps, medicaid, etc)!

Following their famous sit-down at the White House days after the 2016 presidential election, President Barack Obama and President-elect Donald Trump made some statements. They were blandly positive. “I’ve been very encouraged in the interest in President-elect Trump’s wanting to work with my team on many of the issues our great country faces,” Obama said.
Perhaps. Thing was, it was difficult to make out his exact words with all the cameras clicking around him. Clearly Washington’s top political photographers didn’t want to miss a single grimace, a single killer look. “Listen to DSLR Shutters Drowning Out Trump’s Meeting with Obama,” read the headline on a tech site, referring to Digital Single-Lens Reflex technology.
“We talked about click click click click click click…,” griped one commenter below a YouTube video of the meeting. And: “Can they have quieter cameras!?”
As a matter of fact, yes. In a fascinating discussion with C-SPAN’s Brian Lamb, Doug Mills, a longtime White House photographer for the New York Times, spoke about his own conversion from a noisy to a silent camera. “I can take your picture right now and you can’t hear it. You can’t hear even a whisper of a noise,” said Mills to Lamb. For more than 35 years, he said, he had used Canon cameras, a brand that, along with Nikon, has dominated Beltway political photography for decades. Sony approached him about using its A9 camera, a mirrorless camera that makes no shutter noise. “Sony came to me and asked if I’d be willing to try it. I remember saying to one of the technicians, ‘This is a game-changer,’” he said. | <urn:uuid:6bf6056d-533b-445a-830c-c74ba0f7a659> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://photocampdaily.com/sound-clicking-cameras-white-house-nearing-extinction/ | 2018-11-17T18:02:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039743717.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20181117164722-20181117190722-00091.warc.gz | en | 0.962298 | 390 |
Lockdown for me, as I know for many, has made me appreciate getting outdoors, walking, the fresh air and taking in the scenery whatever the weather.
This inspired me to pop together an article highlighting a collection of properties, that can be found on Holiday Tots, ideal for adventurous families who enjoy exploring the outdoors.
So if you are looking for a family holiday with walks and countryside on your doorstep or close by read on…
This is a beautiful Chateau in the Languedoc-Roussillon, France.
The family run winery has stunning walks right on the doorstep. The vineyards surrounding the Chateau lead you through olive, pine forests and offer great stopping points to take in the views of the Pyrenees in the distances. There are 120 hectares to explore with picnic areas set up along the way too. Easily accessible for the whole family.
If that is not enough there are lots more walks further afield. Less than an hour from Chateau Canet in the Corbiere, near a very pretty village called Lagrasse is the Sentier de Mayronnes, a fantastic walk through countryside with incredible views.
La Montagne Noir, a small mountain range about 30minutes away with forest walks that follow rivers and loop around the mountain villages.
For families who enjoy bird watching there are walks along the Mediterranean coast which is about an hours drive away, great for bird watching in the spring and fall as migration birds stop here. It is a great viewing for pink flamingos.
There are many more walks and attractions near Chateau Canet not forgetting the Canal de Midi a UNESCO world heritage site, that are worth adventuring out for, however, it is hard getting away with all the fun stuff going on site!
A quirky and rustic collection of beautiful holiday cottages in the Natural Park Sierra de Aracena, a peaceful setting in the Spanish countryside
The Sierra is a perfect spot with walking lovers, so perfect they have put together there own walking holiday for those who are a little more adventures. However, if you are looking at going to one area and setting up camp then Molino Rio still has much to offer.
The Gorge walk with fabulous scenery and great for families that love animals spotting. You will pass farms with cows, sometimes bulls and goat, not forgetting the famous black pigs roaming around the meadows. This walk is also great for bird lovers with many species flying around.
Another walk recommended by the owners is the The Linaraes Walk which passes the deserted, abandoned hamlet of Los Madroneros. This walk leads you to the village of Linaraes de la Sierra with winding streets. You also pass the village of Alajar. Both villages are within walking distance of Molino Rio with traditional bars and restaurants.
This wonderful country estate is located in Devon and as many of us do know Devon is full of fabulous countryside and coastal walks.
Gitcombe encourage walking and running when staying with them, they even have put together a few suggested walking and running routes for their guests.
With footpaths on Gitcombe’s doorstep offering routes through the countryside with combined woodland areas and open fields along with countryside walking. On the walks you may be lucky enough to spot a deer or two and wilding hares hopping about. Walks here can adventure guests right out to the coast where they will be able to spot grey seals and maybe even some dolphin!
Dartmoor National Park is only a 30 minute drive away. Beautiful woodland trails with ponies roaming, open moorlands and deep river valleys.
An Andalucian child-friendly holiday home placed in a beautiful part of Spain.
Andalucia is a pretty place for walking, especially spring and early summer when all the wildflowers are blooming. It is quite common for holiday goers to head there this time of year to see the wildflowers.
Recommended by the lovely owner of Casa La Sierrecilla is Torcal Park Nature Reserve near Antequera perfect for a family walk. There are three routes varying in lengths with spectacular views and limestone rock formation, owner Heather really enjoys her trip here with her two boys who love exploring the rocks.
Two child-friendly holiday cottages with an onsite Bread Making school set in the wonderful Sussex countryside.
The cottages are situated just outside the historic market town of Steyning with shops, cafes pubs and tearooms.
Being surrounded by beautiful countryside and on the edge of South Downs National Park, guests who enjoy walking and taking in the country views really are spoilt for choice with a number of public footpaths to enjoy. The Artisan Bakehouse has 5 acres of gardens and woods to explore and if families are planning a trip in spring, they have some beautiful bluebell woods minutes from their gates. Once guests have enjoyed a lovely walk what better feeling than returning home to a cosy cottage with warm wood burning fires and indulging in some freshly bakes treats from the onsite Bakehouse .
South Down National Park is one of England’s newest National Parks, with stunning panoramic views and rolling hills great for walking, cycling and even horse riding.
Above are just a few fantastic holidays with fabulous family-friendly walks, there are many more on Holiday Tots worth exploring depending on what makes your family tick! I would just recommend a baby carrier, a few snacks and drinks to keep the little ones happy, maybe some wellies and raincoats in the wetter months too (no one enjoys a walk with a moaning and upset baby or toddler)! | <urn:uuid:af230f90-2420-45a1-a8e3-6f5040919672> | CC-MAIN-2021-17 | https://holidaytotsmagazine.co.uk/2020/12/11/perfect-for-walking-lovers/ | 2021-04-22T23:40:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-17/segments/1618039563095.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20210422221531-20210423011531-00095.warc.gz | en | 0.947823 | 1,155 |
The New Toys
The Actual Deck
Finishers, Rares and Mythics
If the sweepers in the format are rare/mythic and some conditional ones at uncommon that are often not very well-fitting in the metagame, what better way to finish your opponent than with a swarm of zombies? The deck is very good at putting a large number of instants and sorceries in your graveyard, which would give your opponent a grand total of two turns to either find an answer or kill you outright. Can you believe this card is uncommon? You can play more than one!
Chandra, Flamecaller can hit the board running and take out a bunch of small to medium-sized creatures. It can also start doming your opponent for six. If you have junk in your hand, it lets you wheel it into something hopefully better. It is a very resilient and versatile threat, definitely worth the six mana and a rare slot.
Bounce your stuff, here’s an 8/8 Octopus (Crush of Tentacles). What’s that, Reflector Mage is banned? This deck is full of one and two mana spells that let you surge this card for its full value. It’s a massive tempo swing even if they get rid of the tentacled monstrosity, and you have the removal to let it bash in for a lot of damage. The Octopus does die to Fatal Push or gets blocked by a servo; Making Crush of Tentacles the rare I usually end up putting on the chopping block if I need to change up my rares.
Bedlam Reveler is a pretty good topdeck. If you have to cast this for more than RR, something’s gone terribly wrong. Sometimes it can be awkward as you may have to discard a finisher or a good draw spell, but in the other scenario, all you need to discard is a Fiery Temper or some lands you don’t want. It rarely survives very long as your creature count is very low and the few you do cast tend to eat an otherwise dead removal in most matchups, but it doesn’t need to live to do what it has to do, which is loading up your hand.
I don’t think you can really call Fevered Visions a finisher, although if this resolves against a control/midrange deck you can usually call it finished. It’s a great example of a symmetrical effect and is very much capable of ending a game unopposed. Against aggro decks, you will want to discard it or scry it to the bottom as you don’t want to give them more cards.
This deck has a lot of issues with trying to defend Planeswalkers and sometimes will have to take a hit to have the mana up for a draw spell end of turn. For that reason, I don’t think Jace, Unraveler of Secrets or Chandra, Torch of Defiance have the impact you want it to have, even if they may pound for pound be the strongest cards you can play in our little format. Chandra, Flamecaller on the other hand has a massive influence on the board, whether it’s clear or clogged. Another possibility is Torrential Gearhulk, but I feel like it would just eat an otherwise dead removal in game 1, at which point you’ve paid six mana to flash back a Glimmer of Genius. I’ve also tried Dynavolt Tower, but it didn’t quite have the lasting power I wanted out of my rares. Maybe my sample size was too small and it is strong? I couldn’t tell you! The last one is Metallurgic Summonings. It’s very much win-more. It’s a real gamebreaker in the midrange matchup or control mirror, much like Fevered Visions, but it comes down much later, making it very much susceptible to being countered and you getting behind in tempo. That’s about all of the cards I’ve bothered looking at, the current standard format doesn’t really offer much else in the way of rares or mythics for the deck.
The most obvious goal I aim for here is consistency. The uncommons are so good I want to have a defined plan that I can pull off as quickly and often as possible. Glimmer is a great draw spell, it’s instant speed, it digs you into lands to hit your land drops or helps you find a finisher to close out the game. It works great in conjunction with our second uncommon, Harnessed Lightning. That card by itself is a very versatile removal spell, and if you’ve previously resolved a Glimmer of Genius or two, it lets you kill some really big creatures! Have your Energy token ready!
I’m personally a big sucker for Lightning Axe. It’s another spell that can hit big creatures, it’s very cheap, the deck can often discard an excess land or in the best case, a Fiery Temper to kill two creatures for just two red mana.
Rise from the Tides was discussed before, but Geistblast is one I don’t see people using most of the time. Sometimes, you just REALLY want to resolve a spell. Geistblast in your hand can double as discard fodder or a bad removal spell, but it has the most utility in your graveyard. People just forget about it, but doubling up a Glimmer of Genius or Lightning Axe can be a real gamebreaker.
Hungry Flames has got me thinking about changing the uncommons around. I like Searing Blood-type effects but is it really better than Lightning Axe‘s raw damage or Harnessed Lightning‘s versatility? Only testing and the metagame can tell.
- Alchemist’s Greeting
- Boulder Salvo
- Fiery Temper
- Flame Lash
- Galvanic Bombardment
- Boiling Earth
- Nagging Thoughts
- Take Inventory
- Cathartic Reunion
- Tormenting Voice
- Pieces of the Puzzle
- Revolutionary Rebuff
- Spell Shrivel
A few questions and statements:
1. Must play cards: Thermo-Alchemist is obvious. Half of your deck triggers the little Alchemist’s ability. You put it down on turn 2 and it’s likely to deal upwards of ten damage over its lifespan. I didn’t put it in finishers but it sure gets you most of the way there. Two of them is just a mean clock. It’s also your best weapon against resolved planeswalkers. One of these guys can pick off a Gideon or Nissa in one or two turns. The second card that is just meant to be in the deck is Fiery Temper. Lightning Axe and this card are a match made in heaven!
2. Cathartic Reunion or Tormenting Voice? These are your best ways to fuel large Rise from the Tides. I like them in the maindeck but if I see my opponent playing blue I can be free to assume I will be up against Negates or Spell Shrivels, making these a risky play. Getting one of these countered is an easy way to lose the game.
3. Galvanic Bombardment or Shock? With Reflector Mage out of the meta, will we still see a lot of X/3 creatures? I’ve always run Galvanic Bombardment and I think I will watch the metagame develop before I make the decision to switch to Shock. The two damage to the face is usually irrelevant.
4. Counterspells in your maindeck? I definitely think it’s a possibility. I don’t like them in my list because it means I have to cut on either the critically few draw spells or lower my critical mass of removal spells. It’s definitely possible though, but you’ll have to make some major changes to deckbuilding. If I were to add them, I’d lean towards Negate and Spell Shrivel, as they have the highest number of available targets while being decisive enough counterspells. Dispel is a great sideboard card because everyone playing blue will bring in as many counters as they can afford to.
5. The selection on Pieces of the Puzzle says ‘may’. You don’t need to pick up instants or sorceries. This might help you set up Rise from the Tides or get an otherwise dead Geistblast in your graveyard.
6. While you want to build this deck around the rares and uncommons, be sure to define a landbase before you get started on the commons. In my case I had calculated that I’d hit most of my necessary land drops and have the right mix of red and blue sources on 23 lands. This gave me eighteen slots to play around with.
The Final list
- 4 Thermo-Alchemist
- 4 Fiery Temper
- 4 Cathartic Reunion / Tormenting Voice (depends on the amount of blue in the meta)
- 4 Galvanic Bombardment
- 2 Pieces of the Puzzle
Another way this could be done is by cutting two Cathartic Reunion and both Pieces of the Puzzle, and adding four Anticipates. This could let you dig into lands or win conditions at instant speed. If you’re expecting some high-powered non-creature win-conditions, you might even want Negates in your mainboard, like we mentioned before.
Landbases in Gentry for two-color decks are pretty straightforward and you should be spending the least amount of time on these. With only commons at your availability, there isn’t much playroom.
The deck doesn’t run that many blue spells and it needs a lot of red mana to continue throwing fire and lightning at your opponent and his creatures. My sideboards tend to be blue-heavy so I can just change how I fetch with the Evolving Wilds to have more blue available.
The sideboard in Gentry is often a pain-point. You don’t want to cut any rares or uncommons from the main deck so you’re limited to just commons. If there’s any cards you don’t want to risk playing or cards that are just dead in the match-up, here’s usually where you put your alternatives. As I’m a blue deck, cheap counterspells and draw spells are the bulk. There are match-ups where I don’t want to risk the card disadvantage of having a Cathartic Reunion or Tormenting Voice countered. Take Inventory is a great alternative! There are match-ups where your removal spells are useless, this is where the counterspells come in. Negates, Dispels, Spell Shrivels are what you want. The rest I just fill up with cheap mass removal effects. The deck is weak to decks that go wide with a bunch of weak creatures, so I prefer Boiling Earth. It cleans up spirits, warriors, plants, servos, thopters and the odd goblin, and in the lategame it can also just provide a sizable blocker.
Again, consistency over versatility.
I don’t see people playing this deck very often. With UW Blink gone, thanks to the ban on Reflector Mage, the deck lost its worst matchup. Hopefully, this means that people will pick up their red and blue spells again. Unless we figure out a new amazing deck in testing, I’m fairly confident in saying that I might be bringing these colors to the Invitational. It’s just too much fun!
We did in-fact find a deck during testing that Spells had massive issues with.
G/x +1/+1 counters, especially the GB version with Winding Constrictor, proved a tough nut to crack. Spells has a major issue with creatures that can permanently grow past their normal power and toughness, as you’re very limited in your removal. In Gentry, this hasn’t been an issue up until now as most creatures can be dealt with by Galvanic Bombardment or Fiery Temper, but when every creature they play grows past three toughness and starts requiring a Lightning Axe or oversized Harnessed Lightning to handle, it became obvious that the deck wasn’t the right choice.
We never really had a chance to scout out the Ghent meta or testing, but from what we saw in our own limited testing, I thought it would be strong enough to define the Invitational with multiple players prepping snakes and dice. This prompted me to switch decks on short notice, opting for the Open-winning ‘Temurge‘ deck as it had a good matchup against all types of midrange decks, which I consider GB to be.
Nobody ended up playing into our speculation and Michiel especially reaped the fruits of that labor, leaving his Flaying Tendrils at home and getting matched up against a tokens deck. I got to beat up a stock midrange list in my quarterfinals, but lost to some really good aggro draws in the semis from an old format staple, GR Energy, which I ended up losing in three games even with the help of Filigree Familiar to blunt their powerful offense.
Next time, we’ll need to test some more. Conflicting schedules made it really hard to find some time, so we had to disappoint those looking to find some great new ideas at the Invitational. At the Gentry Open, however, we will be ready! | <urn:uuid:52e34b28-321c-49e0-a704-429a89b67cc2> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://gentrymagic.com/2017/02/13/lobbin-spells-in-gentry/ | 2017-10-20T03:27:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187823630.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20171020025810-20171020045810-00489.warc.gz | en | 0.94618 | 2,843 |

DarcyF1 is a hobby website that I spend way too much time developing. Over the past 10+ years many people have helped DarcyF1 grow and improve along the way. A genuine thank you to the following people and projects for their advice, their code snippets and that push in the right direction.
Mia Graphic Design
For the DarcyF1 logo and general design advice. Previous DarcyF1 designs demonstrate my complete and utter lack of graphic design ability - thank you for pointing out all the horribleness of the user-facing prototype designs.
Az Edwards UKF1.net
UKF1.net was my first taste of motorsport multimedia, in a time before YouTube, and when I was stuck on dial-up, the site Az built was fantastic! It was the forced retirement of UKF1 that prompted me to build DarcyF1. There is no doubt this site is very similar to UKF1, but perhaps a more modern take on it, and that is because UKF1 lead the way and was a place I loved to visit. So a huge thank you to Az for starting it all for me! Do me a favour and check out his awesome photography website.

Vieira do Minho, small village north of Portugal, occupies an area of about 21 km2, in the District of Braga. Offering an unforgettable landscape for visitors, the Serra da Cabreira is undoubtedly one of the most tourist areas in the municipality of Vieira do Minho, being even considered by some as the ex-libris of this small village in the interior of the country. Among the numerous landscapes that surround the Municipality include the Valley of Turio, Chã de Prado and Nascente do Ave. The Talefe is the highest point of Cabreira, and from there we can reach all Counties bordering Vieira do Minho. The reservoirs of Vieira do Minho are very sought after by tourists not only for its beauty but also for its crystalline waters. Highlights include the albufeira of Ermal, to practice TeleSky (unique sport in the country).

Short of any government sanctioned rain dances, efforts are underway to address the nation’s severe drought epidemic with the announcement earlier this week from the Obama administration that the government will buy $170 million worth of meat, poultry and fish to help support the nation’s struggling farmers.
Two-thirds of the contiguous United States is now facing extreme drought situations, hitting the nation’s farmers and ranchers hardest in the Midwest and Southern states.
The USDA recently opened up nearly 4 million acres of conservation land for hay use and grazing to help farmers feed their livestock. And announced earlier this week, the USDA said it would purchase pork, lamb, chicken and catfish from the destitute farmers for use in food nutrition assistance programs including food banks.
Congressman Paul Ryan from Wisconsin—who was recently announced as Mitt Romney’s running mate in the 2012 presidential election campaign—was the subject of criticism from President Obama for his choice to block a farm bill that was intended to help farmers in states including drought-stricken Iowa. Obama is seeking approval from Congress for short-term relief measure that would provide additional support to the ranchers and farmers battling against the worst U.S. drought in more than 50 years.
Governors Martin Joseph O’Malley (D-MD) and Jack A. Markell (D-DE) also recently pressured the Obama administration to relax requirements on using corn ethanol in gasoline. The corn could help to feed livestock in light of the food shortages as a result of the drought, the governors said.

I don't know if many of you've seen this or heard of it but it's intensely strange and certainly an aquired taste. This is in the running as the weirdest movie I've ever seen. Here's the synopsis provided by the filmmaker:
Julie, who died of a PCP overdose as a teen in the early '70s, searches from beyond the ethers for her little brother, Bob, an obese watch-seller, who is dying of sucrose intolerance, in the early '90s.
The movie opens with a clip of Tony Curtis introducing an entirely different film with certain words and phrases purposely dubbed over in sloppy fashion, and then we see an old couple watching TV and the viewer is treated to a Serta matress ad featuring Joey Heatherton, and an intro clip from the old ABC Wednesday Night Movie which takes us into the feature.
The old couple from the beginning is alarmed to find Bob the shabby and obese watch seller (who apparently materialized out of thin air) outside their home verbally berating some frightened people and a chihuahua. He goes on to pig out on liquor candy until he pukes up an ungodly mess.
It's kind of hard to describe the film, but Bob spends most of the film wandering around L.A. trying to sell cheap waches but he's mostly busy throwing fits of rage and is constantly threatened by people and barking dogs. These same people also threaten and fight one another. The whole little universe in this movie is absolutely hateful and uncaring. In spite of all of the anger, frustration and paranoia in the film, there's a strange sense of sadness and a fair share humor. One of the longer flashbacks shows Bob on a tour of Universal Studios with his mother and sister and his sister wanders off and stumbles on the set of a film being made by a young Steven Spielberg. The bit where he goes into action directing is hysterical!
I basically loved this movie in spite of many parts being so monotonous, but its saved by strange surprises and weirdly touching moments.
This trailer kind of shows you what to expect:
I watched the 138 minute cut but there are a few different ones. There's a 90-minute official DVD release out there but it's bound to be really different and omits most of the unlicensed music and film footage of which there is a LOT. I've found that the director uploaded it on YouTube:http://www.youtube.com/user/pookie67#grid/user/2E81CC5C5D463052

Last year, I wrote a column about Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs), Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) and think tanks. I am revisiting the subject and I crave your indulgence if there is a lot of repetition.
The CSOs are currently very busy doing what they do best, which is to point out what the government is doing wrong. Since that is their self-appointed role, I wouldn’t feel the need to comment but for the persistent fact that the CSOs appear to think that any criticism directed at them means one is against them.
I can’t understand why it is okay for them to point out what they believe to be wrong and yet, someone pointing out what they might have gotten wrong is supposed to mean you don’t want them to exist.
These groups have strong opinions and express them in colourful language. I like that. They claim to love Ghana far more than anybody else and definitely more than anybody in politics. I have problems with that. They claim to be honest, hardworking and effective and they have answers to every problem. They are mistaken.
They say they are not party political, and they are openly disdainful towards those in politics, especially those in government. It is sometimes difficult to discern that they believe anyone apart from them serves Ghana or has good intentions towards Ghana.
They seem to operate on the general principle that governments are corrupt and ineffective and NGOs and CSOs are clean and effective. For what it is worth, I disagree.
Then there is the continuing determination to see all politics as corrupt and evil. Thus, people will go to great lengths to disclaim any connection with politics or political parties.
And yet many of the practices that we all frown upon in public life today were introduced into Ghanaian society by our sainted NGOs and CSOs. The business of paying people to attend workshops and seminars, for example, entered the public sector when these organisations started operating on a large scale in this country.
For years, the CSO community felt so superior, so special, they even found ways to avoid paying tax on their earnings.
I can’t quite work out why if I choose to work inside a political party, then I immediately become corrupt, manipulative and ineffective. For every corrupt, manipulative and ineffective person operating within a political party, we can find and there are corrupt, manipulative and ineffective persons within the CSO community.
Doubtless, there are some very bright and honest people within the CSOs, but there is no reason to imagine that simply because you identify yourself as a so-called ‘politically neutral’ person, you hold the patent on honesty and high IQs.
Now the suggestion seems to be that it is only these ‘neutrals’ who love Ghana, who work hard and who are honest. When they criticise a government policy, they would want us to believe no one had spent any time or energy thinking it through before it was announced.
Many of these organisations cannot count a dozen people as their members and they would want us to see them as repositories of all wisdom.
The CSOs say a lot about paying the President and members of the government. Very true, all of us pay the President and so he must be accountable to all of us.
The question that must necessarily follow is who is paying the CSOs? Their donors tend to be foreign and not Ghanaian. Who are they accountable to, would it be to Ghanaians or to the source of their funding?
These groups now would have us believe that they are not only experts on every subject; they think everybody else, especially those in government, is dumb.
They are experts on the law, education, oil and gas, finance, banking, religion, health, agriculture, music, elections, literature, transportation and anything and everything else.
The Supreme Court gave a unanimous ruling and to hear the CSOs talk, all the judges who sat on the case were either stark legal illiterates or evil-minded nincompoops.
They have been loud in their lectures to the Bank of Ghana (BoG) on what to do about the banking crisis. I don’t remember that they had anything to say when the problem was brewing.
For two years, 2015 to 2016, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia was the lone voice in the wilderness warning we had a banking crisis coming. The CSOs kept their mouths shut. When something finally was being done about the situation, suddenly they all knew what to do.
We have been in the midst of a pandemic for almost six months, every step that the government took to deal with the situation was said to be wrong. We were told the government was massaging the figures, health workers were said to be dying by the truckload.
When the schools were being opened to allow final-year students to complete the school year and take exams, these CSOs joined in the shrill campaign to suggest that the government did not care about the welfare of children.
One of them said infamously that the government did not mind on how many dead bodies it stepped, for as long as it achieved its political objective.
According to the CSOs, only a selfish government, intent on the pursuit of its political agenda, would want the voters registration and national identification registration exercises to be done in the midst of a pandemic.
They said they had checked the algorithms and it was impossible for the Electoral Commission (EC) to conduct a registration exercise according to the calendar it had issued.
It is noticeable how quiet they have all gone on the COVID-19 front now. I wonder if their silence has anything to do with things not having gone quite as awry as they had sworn.
I do not suggest, of course, that we have seen the back of this unpredictable virus and we might yet have a New Zealand situation on our hands, but it would be charitable if one CSO were to admit that thus far, they have been wrong and the government position has turned outright. But that is, of course, too much to expect.
The most worrying part of the CSOs conversation now is the position they seem to have that any criticism of them should be seen as being against the existence of CSOs.
It would be helpful if the CSOs did not see every government action as venal. Life would be easier for all of us if a CSO with about 10 people in its books did not see itself as knowing all there was to know about everything.
It will be a happy day when they accept that criticising them doesn’t mean you are against them. Strange how they dish it out, but can’t take it. | <urn:uuid:03ec9d4a-caed-4cb1-b19b-3229969d1258> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://ghanawaves.com/elizabeth-ohene-writes-all-knowing-neutrals/ | 2022-01-18T15:47:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320300934.87/warc/CC-MAIN-20220118152809-20220118182809-00628.warc.gz | en | 0.984972 | 1,399 |
This week I took on work experience in press photography for the Edinburgh Evening News. A great little paper that has two editions a day, and do nice local news with some national stuff splashed in for good measure.
Having never taken photos for a news publication before, its been a steep but thoroughly enjoyable learning curve. I’ve been refreshed to be out doing new things every day, and meeting so many great photographers in the process. The joy of the work is that you’re always on the move, adapting to developing situations, or simply chatting nicely away to whoever’s portrait you’ve been sent out to capture. I’ve learnt a little new lingo: ‘GV’ is a general view, usually of a street, shop, statue etc that is being discussed in a report. ‘Spot news’ I think is photos you’re capturing of news the moment it happens – i.e being sent out with the Police for a Saturday night in town. ‘Vox Pops’ are when you go out onto the street with a reporter to canvas a response to a simple question like, ‘do you think Scottish folk are friendlier than English folk’ (example thanks to Dan), and you get a little head shot of everyone that answers – I’ve seen these so many times.
Below are some of the photos that I’ve taken out on the job with staff photographers. So many thanks to all of them, a great relaxed, talented, and cheerful team to work with!

If you’re a developer who owns a mobile game, your goal for your app is most probably to get more and more downloads. However, with millions of mobile apps available on Shurigames and other application stores, it’s difficult for your mobile game to compete with many others around. Luckily, there are strategies that you can use to increase the downloads of your mobile game. Here are some of the most essential.
Improve Your ASO
The first and most basic strategy is improving your ASO or your App Store Optimization. ASO refers to the process of boosting your game’s visibility in the application store by optimizing each of its metadata elements according to the app store and the trend’s best practices. Some of these elements include the app’s title, description, screenshots, and keywords.
The goal of improving your ASO is to make your app more visible and increase its discoverability. If you can achieve this goal, more app users are likely to find your game. In turn, this will make your mobile game receive more downloads.
Build Your Online Presence
Increasing your brand awareness is another effective strategy that you must incorporate as you try to increase the downloads of your mobile game.
There are many ways to build your online presence. For one, you can create a website or a landing page specifically designed for your mobile game. This will help you share relevant content about your game to your target audience. As you design your website, make sure that it’s creative and is designed according to your app’s identity. Use fonts, colors, and designs that match the identity of your game.
Launch A Free App
Another great strategy is to make your game free at launch. The sound of “free” is extremely attractive to players, so this will drastically increase your game’s chances of earning more downloads.
If your mobile game is free but offers paid features, make your in-app purchase features free for a period of time. This will drive people to use your game and play it. On the other hand, if your game is already live as paid, make it free for a couple of days or weeks. This will inevitably bring more downloads.
The goal of making your app free or offering free trials or IAPs is to make downloading games easy for your players.
Ask for Ratings and Reviews
It’s also ideal to ask players for rates and reviews. This will not only boost your game’s algorithm but will also tempt people to download your app with its good reputation as shown in its ratings and reviews. Just make sure your game is high-quality and is really worth good ratings and reviews so that you don’t get negative feedback as that will also be seen by users.
Use the abovementioned strategies to increase the downloads of your mobile game. Also, make sure that your game is of high quality, loads fast, and does not contain bugs so that it can earn more downloads. | <urn:uuid:c7db43f3-aa91-4434-9b2a-aa5b4f88593b> | CC-MAIN-2021-21 | https://www.fifakulte.com/2019/03/18/how-to-increase-the-downloads-of-your-mobile-game/ | 2021-05-09T15:58:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-21/segments/1620243989006.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20210509153220-20210509183220-00097.warc.gz | en | 0.961828 | 614 |

“You are not going to the school dance, and that’s that.”
Mom quits on me mid-argument and walks off.
“But that’s not fair,” I say, chasing after her into the living room. “Everybody’s going. Even Sheila with two left feet. And I will be the only one who won’t. And everybody would have a wonderful time, but me. Mom, are you even listening?”
She is searching for something under the daybed. Not finding it there, she checks around the sofas, and then behind the doors and beneath the window curtains. “You’re in eight grade,”she says dropping the edge a curtain. “How bad can it be?”
She hurries out into the hallway and looks about like a headless chicken, no doubt waiting for the cosmos to flash a celestial sign – left, no go right, and you shall find what you seek.
“Why can’t I go? It’s not like I won’t be chaperoned. Deepa’s dad will pick and drop us. And I’ll be back by ten. For sure.”
“There you are,” she says instead, rushing over to the shoe stand under the stairwell and straightening with one foot a pair of overlapping slippers, cherry red. She smacks her hands with satisfaction and looks down at me as if waiting for a miraculous transformation to manifest.
“I know what you are trying to do, Mom,” I say, fully aware of her modus operandi. “But I’m not fighting with you. Or arguing. Or throwing a tantrum. This one problem is not going to go away with you disarming some overlapping shoes!”
But Mom, who on most days is a completely regular person, like you and me — two hands, two legs, and a regular oval face, which you may say is pretty if you like a square jaw, a wide nose, piercing black eyes, and a mop of tight perms for hair, all familial traits, and not a broad-bordered Kanjivaram sari-wearing aunty from the neighborhood with rings of all manner, color, and stone swallowing her fat fingers and a large black dot warding off evil on the highest roll of her cascading chin, just looks about some more till she finds a stray pump having a dalliance with dad’s brown boots. Dad himself off on a business trip.
“There, that should do it,” she says happily and I can’t help but sigh. Faced with squabbling kids and she turns into a superstition-fueled, maxi over pajamas-clad huntress of overlapping shoes.
Great wars could be won like this, if you went by her.
All that the armies of warring nations would have to do is neutralize some overlapping boots.
“Mom, at least tell me why?” I plead. “What will I say if Mrs. Chatterjee asks for a reason? If I don’t say anything, everyone will think I am stingy, that I don’t want to part with a few hundred bucks for the school dance.”
“Nobody will think that,” she says, back in the dining room, laying out table mats for dinner time. Her shoe-finding expedition having finally paid off.
“Sunny,” she says to my brother, who is finishing his homework at the table and making an early dinner of his pen. “Stop chewing the pen and go wash up. It’s time for dinner. I have made your favorite. Rajma-pulao.”
Sunny grins, his lips stained blue. “Just one more problem and then I’ll be done. Free as a bird.”
“Not so fast,” I snap. “It’s your turn to take out the garbage and feed the bird.”
Sunny sticks out his tongue at me like an eight-year-old and not a tween that he is.
“Seriously,” says Mom. “Do I have to go searching for more slippers upstairs?”
Sunny does a belly laugh and it’s hard not to catch a smile.
“They will,” I say, moving behind her like her shadow, laying down empty tumblers after her plates. “Because I said so.”
If only she would tell me the reason, maybe I could persuade her to see the error of her ways.
“I was only kidding,” I add. “In my defense, they were going to play some horrid mixed tape from the 90s. No doubt from princy’s museum of ‘how to torture perfectly normal kids with bad tastes in anything under the sun’. And that too over that horrid school sound system that crackles on the best days and is like a club of screening banshees on the worst. And kill us with sweet lemonade and sawdust-brick sandwiches from the canteen for good measure. Just in case the music didn’t do the job. But now that there will be a live boy band … and a theme … Princess Bride, you know that movie…? And my favorite book. Well, one of my favorites. Definitely in the top five. God, how embarrassing it would be! And what are you grinning at?” I snap at Vicky again.
“Mom’s not telling you why, but I know.”
“Don’t,” warns Mom. “It’ll just upset her.”
“Upset me? What will? Why? Don’t tell me, it’s a bad day for a court dance!”
“Something close,” says Sunny, thrilled. “The world’s going to end that day.”
“You’re kidding me. And we’ll be safe indoors?”

Q: My wife and I have twin 6-year-old boys and a 4-year-old boy. Many of the strategies I’ve seen about responsible screen use, digital media, TV, etc. seem herculean for a family like ours. My wife will use commercial-free videos so she can take a break to cook, as well as online videos of volcanoes, jet fighters, etc. to engage the boys. I buy DVDs in German, as we are a multi-lingual household, and I’m trying to teach and maintain German, despite my being away often due to my schedule. My question is, how can my wife and I make sure that we are only using screens meaningfully when we have multiple children at different developmental stages?
-Managing Multiples, in Philadelphia, PA
A: Dear Managing,
Your question addresses an issue many parents face, namely, how can we manage screen media use so that each of our children’s developmental needs are met, despite being at different developmental stages?
To help you tackle these issues, first look at their 24-hour day and assign time for the essentials such as sleep, meals, family time, school, and physical activity to help you figure out what time is left to potentially engage in screen media. Then, in the times when media are a good option, choose media with a goal in mind, instead of simply as an ‘electronic babysitter’ or what was once called the ‘plug-in drug’. It sounds as though you and your wife are already doing this by choosing media that will help teach your children a second language (or about something of interest , like volcanoes and jet fighters). Because you are designing their schedules with them, you may be able to plan when media content can be viewed by all ages, as in learning German, and times when content for the older and younger kids can be viewed separately, because the others are involved in different activities.
Know that a screen is going to be very seductive for anyone in the same space, so use your available technology – DVR shows to be viewed at convenient times and, if a child is viewing while another is reading, have him use a tablet or other portable screen with headphones in his own space, even a corner of the room. Be conscious of the attention and focus of each of the children when they are in the same space doing different things.
When you are using entertainment media with all of the kids, make it a shared family experience, enjoying it with them and optimizing the benefits while reducing the risks for each child. Approach their screen media as part of their cultural learning. Watching classic movies is as important as reading great literature or listening to classical music. I started my own sons on Charlie Chaplin silent films when they were younger than yours and they still think they are hilarious (no children do not need either color or synchronized sound to be thoroughly entertained). Science based shows such as ‘Mythbusters’ and those featured on Animal Planet, which combine science and spectacle can both engage and educate everyone in the family.
Enjoy your media (together and separately) and use them wisely, | <urn:uuid:c522d778-5b45-49d7-96d5-2ec2306cf3c1> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://cmch.tv/how-can-i-use-screen-media-mindfully-with-a-four-year-old-and-six-year-old-twins/ | 2019-11-14T06:01:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496668004.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20191114053752-20191114081752-00484.warc.gz | en | 0.972218 | 649 |

With many from Latvia, including our UCP demonstrator “Free Riga”, the “Baltic Stories” visual guide to spaces of culture and the people behind them is out!
The guidebook features 30 stories from Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, exploring the relationship between culture, place and people, complemented by original works by emerging Baltic photographers. The publication demonstrates the diversity of cultural processes and the impact they can bring to place development, and vice versa — how space shapes cultural processes.
This journey through the Baltic states delves into the small-scale, everyday and unexpected – a street art festival in Tartu changing the perception of public space, a Vilnius community radio started by friends, green urban gardens, cutting edge contemporary art spaces, decaying Soviet heritage that still serves as a meeting point for locals, and more. It is meant for independent cultural tourists, policymakers, and anyone else willing to explore and take part in shared and meaningful placemaking practices.
Chapter 6 – Free Riga
Chapter 6 in the book called “Use of abandoned spaces”, and it includes the story of one of our demonstrators – Free Riga, side by side with the Tallinn based initiatives Põhjala Tehas and Contemporary Art Museum of Estonia. The chapter sets out to showcase recent efforts, bringing new energy to post-industrial heritage and abandoned spaces and illustrating uses that go beyond gentrification.
The beginnings of the Free Riga organization date back to 2013. Over the years, Free Riga has evolved into an organization which uses mainly cultural instruments to revive properties that the owners have yet to find a purpose for. They work on temporary terms, seeing themselves as mediators between the property owners and users or, in their own words, house guardians. Currently, Free Riga operate in three properties — the Lastādija quarter, culture centre Alksnājs at Alksnāja iela 16, and culture spot V36 at Viskaļu iela 36.
The recently acquired property at Viskaļu iela 36, where the Free Riga team has signed the longest use agreement to date — 25 years. Taking up more than 15 000 square metres of empty space at the former Riga Tehnical University campus in Čiekurkalns, on the shore of Lake Ķīšezers, Free Riga aims to gather artists, cultural and social workers, informal educators, researchers and others to jointly develop a new Life Quality Design Institute.

From the Quiet Ice . . . by Mike Filce
You can’t help noticing with all of the pundits, talking heads, bloggers, podcasters and assorted Twitter-drunk commentators, some ideas come up again and again, and some of them receive respectful consideration — when they should be squashed like the stink bugs they are. Let’s look at a few.
Late in a recent “31 Thoughts” podcast episode, Jeff Marek broached the topic of “pump[ing] up the home team” with in-game music. We’re talking about the practice of silencing the music as the puck drops so fans can hear the sounds of the game. Elliotte Friedman replied, “I have no problem with the in-game experience doing that; if you think it riles up your fans, I’m all for that.” He then connected this notion with “taking the shackles off the players,” a link I’m unable to see here. Marek’s response: “Amen. Preach on.” Really?
Now keep in mind that while highly respected in the field, this is the same Elliotte Friedman who has championed some terrible ideas about playoff qualifier games. But Marek is usually much more clear-headed than this.
What’s more baffling is that this idea is coming from a couple guys who supposedly grew up with the game, who have it in their blood and spirit, who connect with the game on something of a spiritual level, as many of us do. So, to hear that they would so cavalierly throw away the sounds of the game in favor of arena football atmosphere of pumping music every moment of the experience, is a bit like hearing Brian Burke express the desire to participate in Carolina’s post-game celebration as the starting domino.
Let’s turn now to the ugly head that rears itself every other month, the eternal back-and-forth over scoring metrics and how to increase them — namely the ol’ net size versus goalie gear debate. We need to put this to rest once and for all by looking at some obvious realities of the game.
The first is that the NHL is now a puck-tipping league. Shots are deliberately and routinely put waist-high and above for the purpose of tipping to deceive goalies. Most pucks are no longer kept along or close to the ice and haven’t been for years. More to the point, the slap-shot is a staple of offense, so you see where I’m going.
How many players in recent years have lost weeks or months of play due to pucks to the face — broken jaws, destroyed mouths, smashed orbital bones and so on. So we raise the top shelf, what — two inches? An inch? — and what do we suppose will happen? Shooters will elevate that shot even higher, without a doubt. It will be mayhem out there, and you would be insane not to play in a full cage at that point. After all, you have to protect your career above all.
This result should be so patently obvious as to squelch any further conversation about the net size, so I’m guessing it’s mostly coming from people who have never laced up skates above the beer league level, if that.
If that weren’t enough, a glance at the goal averages this season should put to rest the idea that we need bigger nets to increase scoring. Scoring is up both in goals-per-game average and power play goals. Are there some tweaks needed with goalie gear in some cases? Probably, but isn’t that a more reasonable fix than redesigning the nets and adding an asterisk to scoring stats going forward?

The D365 Business Central vs. Netsuite ERP systems comparisons are going to be asked for years to come as they make themselves known as the main competitors in the SMB market. The two ERPs are different in many ways. Some of those differences are more obvious than others. The following compares the two software systems.
Dynamics 365 Business Central (NAV)
Designed for small and midsized companies, Dynamics 365 Business Central (formerly known as Microsoft Dynamics NAV) is available in both the cloud and on premises. It helps streamline businesses by enhancing its operational processes. It's flexibility in fact makes it adaptable to a company's unique needs. It boasts a roster of more than a million registered users worldwide. It's very user-friendly and easy to implement and customize. Dynamics 365 BC also operates across a wide range of functionalities.
The ERP platform NetSuite was made for medium and large companies, and is available in the cloud only. It was made for such industries as retail, manufacturing, nonprofit, healthcare, media and publishing and financial services. NetSuite features a dashboard and some out-of-the-box reports.
Which is Better, Dynamics 365 BC or NetSuite?
Dynamics 365 BC On Premise version is easy for developers to work on since they can get easy access to all of the system's source codes. Also, since it's available both online and off, it is basically easier to deploy. And since it's used more by small and midsized businesses, it's generally more advantageous to entrepreneurs who aren't looking for anything fancy in an ERP system. The D365 Business Central cloud version is a natural stepping stone for companies moving from Quickbooks. Many of the modules and features in NetSuite are not applicable to small businesses who are moving away from the QB products.
What's more, despite NetSuite's dashboard and reporting capability, its customization abilities and reporting engine are limited. Microsoft Dynamics 365 BC provides users with business intelligence and reporting tools so they can design reports without any tech assistance whatsoever. Moreover, since NetSuite is a hosted solution, it naturally has limitations in its ability to adapt to the changing business environment. NetSuite also lacks the ability to support an on-premise model, since it operates only in the cloud. When businesses are getting adjusted to the idea of having an ERP system, they would feel overwhelmed by adopting a system other than one that's on premises. They probably wouldn't care if it's in the cloud, let alone know what the term "in the cloud" means.
For more information on the benefits of Dynamics 365 Business Central over NetSuite, please contact us.

I attended MVCS from K4-8th grade and then attended public high school. When I began public school, I was so far ahead of everyone else that I rarely had to study. My ACT scores were also much higher than many of my classmates, in fact, I was one point short of a perfect score on the reading section and I think it was because I had a wonderful educational foundation from MVCS. Today, I am the CEO at a non profit healthcare facility and I own a small business. My husband and I also plan to send our children to MVCS when they are old enough to attend school. Thank you for a wonderful education and teaching young people about good character!
I went to this school for eight years before attending a public school, and it is has taught me far more than what I would have learned at a public school.
mt.view is a wonderful place to have my children.their grades are very good and test scores are above state levels.thank you sooo much
I graduated from MVCS in 2004, it has a great education and it prepares you for your future, and now im sending my daughter out there
MVCS had me for 5 years. I had great teachers who prepared me mentally as well as spiritually. They are a big reason why I am also becoming a doctor of physical therapy! Thanks MVCS
I was a student at MVCS for 7 years including HS. It was the reason I went to college, and the reason I am a doctor today. Keep up the good work MVCS.

For once, the week has not whizzed past as rapidly as expected. And that's not because Summer is here; oddly enough, it's been less hot than expected (no more than 30C in the sun) and perhaps more significantly, it hasn't become really humid yet. Somewhat sticky in evenings, but really not bad at all during the daytime. I know this will change sooner or later, but in the meantime am enjoying cool early mornings, and being able to use the kitchen in the daytime without either suffering or using the air conditioning.
On Monday, the Christian Writers' group met here in the morning, and we had a potluck lunch since it was our last meeting until September. People travel out of Cyprus during the summer, very often, and it's likely to be much too hot to do anything much - and we like eating together a couple of times per year. It was good that I had something to think about, since I was feeling a little on tenterhooks: our son Tim was flying out of the UK on Monday.
Or so we thought.
Originally he had been planning to come to Cyprus for just two and a half weeks in August. But for various reasons his plans changed, and he decided that he would like a longer break in the sun. We were able to find some very good value flights via Lufthansa, with the outgoing ones on Monday, due to arrive at 2.00am Tuesday morning.
Mid-afternoon, Tim called to say that while he was on the bus on his way to the airport, he had received a call letting him know that his flight was cancelled! However they told him to go to the airport anyway and they would sort it out for him. He wondered if they would put him on a bus to Heathrow and the Cyprus Air flight... but no. They booked him into the Airport Hotel overnight, and found three flights on the Tuesday, due to arrive at 5.00pm. Which is a much more sociable arrival time, and since he was coming for eight weeks, losing one day isn't too big a deal.
He had to be up very early (4.00am UK time!) on Tuesday, but all the flights went smoothly, arriving in time for the connections, and we were very happy to see our son at the airport when he finally arrived. He was tired, but suggested a game in the evening... at which he creamed us both:
(Anyone who plays Settlers and wants to know a little more about the game, I did write a brief post about this game on my Settlers blog which has been much neglected recently).
Yes, that's Cleo in the box lid. She has become much more sociable in the summer, and her favourite place to sleep is in the lid of any box that happens to be open. Whether or not she actually fits...
On Wednesday Tim relaxed, and slept somewhat, and chatted. At least, he tried to relax. It wasn't easy because the road works finally started in our street, and they were extremely noisy. The cats were upset and scared. Well; oddly enough Cleo, usually the most nervous cat, wasn't too worried. she did flick her ears a few times when a particularly loud machine went by, but other than that did not seem too concerned. Sophia sat on the stairs, looking extremely worried, but then she always hates loud diggers, which she seems to think are going to eat her.
Tessie surprised us the most by being truly terrified. She mewed - real mews, not her usual chattering cries - extremely loudly when I was in the bathroom, evidently telling me to get out. Then she hid under the bed. We can only assume that she thought we were having a major earthquake and was trying to keep us safe.
Thankfully the pipes seem to have been laid very quickly, and the road was back to normal again by late afternoon.
We were due to play a game with friends in the evening but they had to cancel due to illness, so Tim watched a DVD with Richard in the evening . And on Thursday decided that he'd done enough relaxing, so he went to the office to do some (voluntary) work with Richard. As he has done today.
Then friends who are shortly leaving Cyprus had dinner with us last night. So it's been quite a busy and enjoyable week. | <urn:uuid:0e8e5365-e906-4c00-bf0c-517a83a2270f> | CC-MAIN-2018-09 | http://cypruslife.blogspot.com/2011/07/friday-update.html | 2018-02-25T19:47:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-09/segments/1518891816912.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20180225190023-20180225210023-00454.warc.gz | en | 0.994731 | 904 |
Got some mail in the past few days that I thought I'd share with you guys. I love it when fellow Sufferlandrians kick some ass!
You dont know me but your videos helped me more than I can thank you for. I started riding in 2006 to loose weight (270 lbs) droppped about 40lbs and in 2007 decided to try racing. Well every race I entered I got dropped, same in 2008, 2009, and 2010. This winter I decied to bear down loose more lbs and set up a training plan. This is where you come in, I found your website, bought a couple of your videos for indoor training. I live in Michigan, so getting outside in the spring is hit or miss, but I took advantage of every day I could get outside. On 4-2-11 I entered the FRCC Spring Fling #2 C race....I won the darn thing!!!!! I felt strong and powerful, yeah I know it's a C race but I couldn't be happier. Thank You Very much
Started my 2nd year of racing last weekend. The first road race of the year, 65 miles of 30-40 mph sustained winds and 50mph gusts. Not to mention my first race in Cat 4, Masters 45+. I placed 7th out of 30. My first top 10 road race, and I owe a great deal of that success to you and Sufferlandia. You all beat me down 4 times a week for the entire off season and got me in shape so I could attack with 5 miles to go, uphill, in a 40 mph crosswind. Last year my fat ass would have soft pedaled in.
Just wanted to let you guys at sufferfest know how awesome your videos are. I have the Angels and can truly say that I have not hurt this bad on the bike for years. I've been doing wednesday night sufferfests for a few weeks now rather than self-directed intervals on the road and my weekend rides have improved to the point that my riding buddies are asking "WTF just happened???" I'll be getting all your videos for sure. Keep up the great work!!!
I've been on Chris Carmichael's The Time-Crunched Cyclist competitor program for two weeks and am midway through my race season. I've never yelled so desperately for anything as I yelled "3! 3! 3 2 1 dammit!" during the 3rd cyclocross clip. I've also never yanked my bike out of the trainer by getting out of the saddle so hard I thought I would shear my pedals off the crank arms. And I've also never almost passed out riding indoors. I did all these things during Revolver. Nice work.

Wow! Football season is over! Well, at least for me college football season is over. Over the past few years, I’ve lost interest in college football. There are just too many games to keep up with. Lots of my friends keep up with several teams and watch all the statistics. It can be too much.
I went to the Graduate School of Banking at LSU. I claimed that I kept up with LSU football. Baton Rouge is 700 miles away and I didn’t have to get into which was better, Clemson, USC, Citadel, UNC, NC State, Virginia, Virginia Tech, or ??? you get the idea. LSU was far enough away that I didn’t have to keep up too much.
Well, this year LSU is the number one ranked team. They were going to play Alabama the number two-ranked team. This was going to be the championship game. This would be my chance to see the championship game and not have to go through 100 more games and two months of football to decide who was the best.
I’ve got friends in Alabama and Louisiana. They take all this football seriously. I didn’t want to get all upset about a simple football game. My plan was to watch a little bit of the first quarter and then watch the end of the game. I’ve done that before. It works great. You don’t have to get all excited about one play and be agitated by one play.
I have to admit that it was an exciting game. There was a lot of action in the first quarter. I quit watching and tried to plan to come back for the end of the game. If you can do it right it makes for a wonderful experience.
I did get back for the end of the game. It was great. The game was essentially over and I didn’t have to be upset that things weren’t going my way.
Once the game was over, I knew that my season was over too. There wouldn’t be any discussion about conference champions, or players getting suspended for all the things they do wrong over Christmas holidays. Two months are saved without having to figure out how they decide who plays the games. The bowls will take up a lot of viewing time. I have already crowned my champion and I don’t have to watch any more games this year.
There is only the Super Bowl to watch and that is next year. I might even miss that game. There are other things to worry about now. If I could watch a Christmas movie and that would be it for the next month it would make for a happy December.
Some of my friends are mad about the game. They still have several weeks of games to be upset about. There are all the refs and stupid coaches that can ruin their Saturdays. I remind them to chill out. Football is just a game that little boys can play. What’s the big deal?
Turns out that some of these games are more important than life itself. Luckily, I can be calm. My team won. | <urn:uuid:c2867816-c689-49e1-842c-45a71ed8c89c> | CC-MAIN-2020-05 | https://www.kingstreenews.com/opinion/football-season-is-over/article_575e7298-07b0-11ea-92ae-b3b900fadffb.html | 2020-01-17T15:43:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-05/segments/1579250589861.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20200117152059-20200117180059-00004.warc.gz | en | 0.987513 | 636 |

Post Tagged with: "kitchen faucet"

While it is still debatable whether money buys happiness, it certainly offers security.
Knowing how to manage money and spending it wisely can lead to a wealthy life. Financial security affects a person’s mindset and how much an individual saves and budgets. No matter how young or old you are, having the right mindset will determine your financial future and help manage your money more efficiently.
First, it is important to know the difference between rich and wealthy. Paul Sullivan is a columnist writer for the Wealth Matters column in The New York Times and the Money Game column in GOLF Magazine. He differentiates being wealthy and rich by mindset and financial decision-making. According to Wealthy vs. Rich: Key Differences | Acorns, investing, saving money and focusing on long-term goals define wealth. Rich is defined as the “lack of control over their own financial decision-making,” according to the site.
In college, everyone has a different concept of financial literacy and handling money. Some institutions offer programs or classes, while others do not.
Women Empowered To Achieve The impossible (WETATi) Academy is a program driven to educate students on financial literacy, creating and respecting money, and practical experiences. WETATi Academy Founder and Ambassador Dr. Margaret Dureke emphasizes the importance of having a healthy and respectful relationship with money.
“Don’t underestimate the power of $1 or one cent because, over time, it compounds and becomes something major. So that savings seems to be one of the ones that they [the students] really, really understood and have a different mindset now, as compared to when they first started,” stated Dr. Dureke.
The curriculum also talks about managing money and why it is necessary to learn financial literacy.
“Oftentimes, people who make a lot of money, who have not understood the principles of financial literacy and good relationship with money, often will be broke…So the more respect you have for money and better relationship with money, the better savings mindset you’ll have, the more likelihood that you would actually build wealth eventually,” said Dr. Dureke.
Managing money is all about mindset and having respect for money.
Freshman psychology major Trinity Abgen Allsop did not have an official financial literacy course and learned about saving in her senior year when she was learning about college financial aid. “That only came towards senior year because that was when I was taught the most about financial aid and loans impacting me for the next five to 20 years,” said Allsop.
She supports herself with a simple spending plan. “For the most part, I try to stick to casual budgets for the month when it comes to money. But I am not really super strict because I have common sense enough to know I can’t be spending hundreds of dollars.”
Freshman public health major Rachel Odumade participated in a scenario during middle school on saving money but wished she had learned more about taxes and financial literacy. Her scenario was a single mother with three kids, making a certain amount of money. She was not taught how to budget but instead learned how to manage her money—for example paying for bills, food and etc.
Secondary education financial programs open students to financial decisions, not on how to grow or save money.
Secondary education financial programs show students the financial decisions they will make in the future but not how to grow or save money. Odumade believes a built-in process every year teaching students financial literacy and taxes will better help people understand how to manage their money.
Freshman psychology major Ademide Adeyemo follows her own saving methods and cautious spending.
“I have 60 40… so 60% …I’m not gonna touch that. And 40% I can spend as I like, but usually, I’m not spending that much. If anything, I am spending 10%,” said Adeyemo. “Now, if it’s my parents’ money, I have different values towards that. But in terms of my own money, I’m very frugal with what I spend.”
Allsop has a simple spending plan: casual spending that includes friends, food and travel.
“I try to do like, maybe like 50 bucks every two weeks because I really don’t go out that often. My more extreme expensive, where it’s like $100 plus, would only be for like necessities,” stated Allsop.
Everyone is taught about money differently and has different ways of spending and saving it. It is an essential tool, financial literacy, knowing how to manage and respect money, especially for college students living on a budget. | <urn:uuid:3af6381b-86ed-47f4-9414-29f088240db8> | CC-MAIN-2023-06 | http://www.thecampustrainer.website/managing-money-as-a-college-student.html | 2023-02-01T10:05:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-06/segments/1674764499919.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20230201081311-20230201111311-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.960048 | 990 |
Searched a thread for this one and couldn't find it (amazingly). Definite classic. Really sucks to this day Norton never got an Oscar for the job he did in this, probably for some PC reasons unfortunately. He was just insanely impressive on so many levels both physically and mentally.
Highly recommend this to anyone here who possibly still has not seen this yet or never even heard of it. It's a definite must-see.

Historic and Famous Trees of the World
Publication Date: March 1, 2011
Other Editions of This Title: Paperback
Enter your zip code below to find indies closest to you.
Some trees have lived many lifetimes, standing as silent witnesses to history. Some are remarkable for their age and stature; others for their usefulness. A bristlecone pine tree in California has outlived man by almost 4,000 years; a baobab tree in Australia served as a prison for Aboriginal prisoners at the turn of the twentieth century; and a major oak in England was used as a hiding place for Robin Hood and his men (or so the story goes…).
The fourteen trees in this book have earned the title "Celebritrees" for their global fame and significance. Both in fact and in legend, these fascinating trees remind us not only how much pleasure trees bring, but what they can tell us about history.
Margi Preus is the author of The Peace Bell, which School Library Journal praised for its "[m]essage of peace between nations...eloquently conveyed." She writes plays and children's books in Duluth, Minnesota.
Rebecca Gibbon is the illustrator of several picture books, including Elizabeth Leads the Way, which was named an ALA Notable Book among other honors. She lives in England with her husband and two young children.
It's a fun spin on a dull topic: old trees. 'I loved seeing the Coast Redwood next to the Statue of Liberty,' says a 9-year-old tester.
A kid-friendly 'Who's Who' of the arboreal world. Adding to Celebritrees' appeal are Rebecca Gibbon's charming, colorful illustrations.
This beautiful picture book will inspire young naturalists to realize their environment in a new way and treat earth's silent wooden structures with respect.
A joyful and respectful homage to trees that have stood the test of time.
This picture book gallery of impressive trees, illustrated in friendly folk-art style, offers substantive information on what makes each specimen unique.
"Each featured specimen receives a spread with several paragraphs of text plus Gibbon's charming colored pencil and watercolor illustrations."
Gibbon's acrylic-ink, colored-pencil,and watercolor artwork creates an inviting look throughout the book. | <urn:uuid:d0b83f0d-426b-4577-8708-a4999e9269b5> | CC-MAIN-2015-18 | http://www.indiebound.org/book/9780805078299?aff=kirkus_reviews | 2015-04-28T14:53:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-18/segments/1429246661675.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20150417045741-00090-ip-10-235-10-82.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.954026 | 479 |

For the Swiss Design Awards we’ve for the first time compiled our released typeface into one newspaper like publication. Each typeface occupies one sheet. The front side displays the repertoire and entire character set, the back side shows a imagery we manipulated to reflect its core idea. Additionally, each sheet has been printed using a different offset raster, so that the publication is therefore not only a type, but also a print-raster specimen.

i love finding a deal. i love making a deal.
bartering in different countries or garage sales is one of my favourite things to do! there are a few tips and tricks to getting the most our of your thrifting experience. at thrift stores i don’t think they really appreciate a haggler, but most places already have such low prices that there’s no need to argue for a better price!
the other day i went thrifting at some of the local spots, value village, goodwill, salvation army, bibles for missions…
look at the hilarious things i saw…
first let’s discuss the Kar-Kooker (did you notice the awesome double K action?!?) there is a list on the front of the box of how this fantastic contraption can be used… baby bottles, soups, canned foods… enjoy the convenience of eating in your car, camper, boat or trailer” hahaha! love it!
and, check-out that cutie-a-too-teh on the right with her sweet blue jumper. see where the yellow arrow is? that’s the original price stickers from simpson sears for $1.25!!! gotta love that!
1. everything will look cute, quirky and funny at first glance. and, you may want to buy it all! but, before you get caught up in the moment decide what you like to collect, whether it be tea cups or blue glass. know what colours you prefer in your home, for example, i only purchase white, turquoise or blue items for my kitchen, and only if i think i will really use it.
2. remember there is a constant supply of knick-knacks, baskets, and blue glass at thrift stores. the shelves will always get restocked and refreshed with new items. only buy what you need or truly want. i don’t care if it’s a good deal or a great price, it ain’t worth it unless you actually use it! every dollar adds up quickly, remember that!
3. go often! that will mean different things to all of us, but when i have 30 minutes to kill, i will quickly hit up a few thrift stores. going often doesn’t mean i spend a lot of money, it just means i can keep tabs on things. the good stuff flies out of the stores quickly, so the more frequently you visit the shops the better your chances are of scoring something lovely!
4. know your brands and prices. not everything at a secondhand store is a great deal, so do your homework. this is especially true when it comes to designer glass and clothing. i’m not really into clothes so i don’t know many fancy name brands, but i do have friends who are great at finding awesome clothing deals! i’m much better at kitchen things! also, some thrift stores are much more expensive for things, thank other’s. this is why it pays to do your homework!
5. it’s good for the environment. buying secondhand is a good thing for our planet, as new materials don’t have to be used, trees don’t have to be killed and items don’t have to shipped across oceans. it all comes down to those 3 R’s REDUCE, REUSE & RECYCLE! pinterest is full of ideas on how to reuse old sweaters into mittens, or how to fix up old dressers into vanity’s or whatever.
and, is that an owl made out of shells? i can’t decide if $2 is a steal or way over priced! haha!
thrifting is also about thinking outside the box and using old things for something new. i love pretty vintage sheets, but i use them as table cloths instead, or cut them into napkins.
happy thrifting, friends! | <urn:uuid:691a0c0c-6aee-4752-b52c-6d69f2a2894d> | CC-MAIN-2018-34 | http://bearandlionmama.com/2015/05/top-five-thrifting-tips.html | 2018-08-16T14:39:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-34/segments/1534221211000.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20180816132758-20180816152758-00717.warc.gz | en | 0.926853 | 827 |

February 2009 TED talk. Locating the source of the creative spark within (as was the case since Renaissance), rather than without (in daimons of ancient Greece and geniuses of Rome), proved to be, according to Gilbert, an uncommonly destructive idea for artists. If you think you are the source, then you are to blame all those times when your pen, brush, or body, either refuses to move, or, worse, moves in a way that insults the muses. She suggests that the return to the old idea – that it is all out of our hands, good art and bad – may create a protective construct artists may hold up against the onslaught of creative blocks, anxiety, and self-destruction. The important thing, she says, is to keep showing up for work. If a great work of art is created, you can’t take the praise (which will prevent narcissism), and if you produce something lame, it is not your fault. After all, you have showed up for your part of the deal and it is really your daimon who must have been sleepy that day. She should take the blame.
One can’t but be moved by Gilbert’s tender plea for a shield with which to protect artists against themselves. But chasing the torment away, I think, is even more dangerous than yielding to it. Torment serves a purpose, and the purpose is to remind us that, at this particular time, we are not very good channels for inspiration. And being a rusty channel, I’m afraid, is entirely our fault. If we want to take lessons from the ancients, we should swallow both their sweet and bitter seeds. Socrates’ lesson was not that your daimon shows up some days to fill your page, other days staying away. It is that we all have a daimon, and that our daimon is with us all the time, but that our ears are too full of other things to hear it. Socrates was a slave only to his daimon, and consequently heard it all the time. Modern artists, like ancient ones, and like non-artists too, are slaves to many other things besides - success, fear, productivity – and enough noise will make the gentle music of art inaudible. Torment is the way we are reminded to quiet the noise, and start paying attention. It is a reminder to be slaves to our art. And being slaves to our art does not mean being chained to your desk. It means probing, and sometimes destroying, the inner landscape that has grown insensitive to the elusive caress of art.
So it seems it’s not just about showing up at your writing desk. While inspiration is still a gift, the torment is a warning signal that we are, for now, unfit to receive it. So, no matter how much Gilbert wants to save us from ourselves, we cannot wish away the paradox that seems both unfair and irrational - that in art, while we cannot take the praise, we have to take the blame. | <urn:uuid:756f7aa6-abf7-4360-8c2a-6476099a4f86> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.onfiction.ca/2010/08/in-defense-of-torment.html?showComment=1286927269164 | 2020-09-28T22:52:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401614309.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20200928202758-20200928232758-00714.warc.gz | en | 0.973898 | 619 |
Her presentation held members of the board spellbound.
How she exuded confidence and poise as she spoke.
When she finished, their hands danced in applause.
And she smiled to herself with satisfaction and pride.
But there was something else that endeared her to the board.
It was this Lavender Hourglass Blazer Dress.
Nobody said you can’t flaunt your curves while looking professional.
One reason we made this blazer dress.
We played with the colour purple and its lilac shade to achieve it.
Then we thought about the lavender flower and added the floral lapel, while the other is satin.
It’ll stand you out and thrill the eyes of all who stare at you.
This hourglass blazer dress is très chic, classy, and the perfect match for power dressing.
But there’s only one in stock.
If you don’t buy it now, someone else will and you won’t get to exude power with it.
How to Style
- Wear your cover-toe heels or flats if it’s for work.
- Sprinkle some accessories and jewelry here and there.
- When you want a different look, unbutton it and wear it like a blazer to layer another outfit.
- Attend that formal occasion and turn heads.

It has been over five-and-a-half years since a mass shooting on the campus of Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia, caused me to write:
. . . the terrible truth is that we only pay attention when our domestic murders come in multiples.
Gun violence is more than an everyday occurrence in this country, it is an hourly one. Correction: it is a quarter-hourly one. There are, roughly, 12,000 gun murders a year in the United States (if you are looking for contrasts, contrast that with the average 350 gun murders that occur annually in Canada, Great Britain, and Australia combined). If you watch the local TV news in the US, then you likely bear some sort of witness to numerous individual gun murders every week.
But it is only when six or twelve or twenty-two or thirty-three are shot that most of us even look up, take pause, or stop to think at all about what guns do.
And what guns do is kill people.
I’m sure there is somebody out there right now that is raising a finger in protest. Wait, there’s sport. . . competition shooting. . . hunting! And to that person I say: Knock it off! AK-47’s and their clones are not prized by biathletes, 9 mm semi-automatics are not hunting weapons, and you don’t need an extended clip to bring down a sixteen-point buck. You can make your arguments about self-defense and Second Amendment rights (though most of them would be wrong), but you cannot argue that it is either a right or a necessity to own the kinds of weapons that felled those at Columbine, or West Nickel Mines, or the unfortunate students and faculty at Virginia Tech.
I wrote several posts around the time of the VaTech shootings–and several others about sadly similar events over the years–and went back to read them while thinking I would scrawl something today about the massacre in Connecticut. But you know what? I’m not sure I see the point of a new story–not when almost every single word I wrote back then is just as applicable now.
Sure, some of the names have changed. We have a different president; one who arguably struck the right emotional tone as he joined the country in mourning the senseless deaths of 20 young children. But a little while before Barack Obama spoke to the nation, his press secretary, Jay Carney, took to the White House briefing room to say that today was not the day to address the role that gun laws could play in preventing more mass shootings.
So, if you have the time, take a look at part of what was said some 17 domestic gun massacres ago:
Then, maybe ask, who do we have in elected government, or in a visible place in our country or our communities, who will rise up and say to Mr. Carney, or to the press corps, or to the president, “How about now? Can we talk about it now?”
I’ll leave you with the questions I asked back in 2007–and have asked so many times since–in an attempt to actually move this discussion beyond pearl-clutching and platitudes:
To those that love their guns. . .
Please don’t resort to screaming about how I want to take away your guns. . . I don’t. Just tell me why you oppose:
Better background checks,
Additional licensing procedures for concealed weapons,
Mandatory waiting periods,
Restrictions on assault-style weapons, Saturday night specials, and extended clips,
Mandatory safety training and periodic recertification,
Closing so-called gun-show loopholes,
Legal liability for gun manufacturers commensurate with other consumer product liability,
And limits on the number of guns and rounds of ammo you can purchase at any given time and over the course of a year.
If you can address those points, we can have a discussion. . . or you can just scream that I want to take away your gun again if that makes you feel better.
And one more thought–something I tweeted earlier. Today, before the news of the Connecticut shooting broke, I heard a story about a man who went on a violent rampage at a school in China. He was armed with a knife. The result: 22 wounded; 0 dead. | <urn:uuid:c14fc263-4496-4a03-b639-04bd6351927b> | CC-MAIN-2017-39 | https://capitoilette.com/tag/assault-weapons/ | 2017-09-23T11:07:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-39/segments/1505818689624.87/warc/CC-MAIN-20170923104407-20170923124407-00004.warc.gz | en | 0.960957 | 906 |

True rest comes only through redemption and union.
This exquisite idyll is united as a supplement to the book of Judges by the word “now,” with which it opens. It was evidently written after the monarchy was established. It has been ascribed to the prophet Samuel, and it is easy to understand the special interest with which he would narrate the origin of the family of the youth whom he had anointed as future king.
It is clear, however, from the need of explaining a custom which had become obsolete, that the events narrated took place in the early settlement of Israel in the Land of Promise, and probably before the judgeship of Gideon. The story gives a graphic and admirable picture of the simplicity and beauty of the home life of those early years; and it teaches us that we need never despair of our life, for in ways we know not of, God is bringing good out of evil, and sunshine from the dark and cloudy sky. —Through the Bible Day by Day

In this project design and implementation of neural network based railway protection using wireless technology. Usually number of accidents occurred due to track crack and obstacle on the track.
The main modules in this project are sensor, Microcontroller unit, Driver unit and camera. The IR transmitter and receiver are connected in front of the train.
The IR transmitter transmits IR rays when the power supply is switched on. The IR sensor is connected with the microcontroller. In normal positions, the rays transmitted from the transmitter falls in front of the train.
If there is no train or any block, the signals from the IR transmitter falls don't on the IR receiver directly. When any train or any block, the IR signals are falls on the receiver and it automatically sends signal to the microcontroller. The microcontroller operates the relay section through driver section. Thus the train is stopped immediately.
If there is any crack in the track, the continuous sensor sense and transmit signal near to the station. Then the guard send signal to the train and stops the train | <urn:uuid:83de4ec0-57b0-4028-8f9d-9f661b8511df> | CC-MAIN-2017-30 | http://www.seminarsonly.com/Engineering-Projects/Embedded/Railway-Track-Crack-and-Obstacles.php | 2017-07-21T18:35:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-30/segments/1500549423808.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20170721182450-20170721202450-00483.warc.gz | en | 0.918701 | 208 |
Patients have a range of normal reactions when they hear they have cancer. These include:
Patients may also have feelings of shock, fear, helplessness, or horror. These feelings may lead to cancer-related post-traumatic stress (PTS), which is a lot like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). PTSD is a specific group of symptoms that affect many survivors of stressful events. These events usually involve the threat of death or serious injury to oneself or others. People who have survived military combat, natural disasters, violent personal attack (such as rape), or other life-threatening stress may suffer from PTSD. The symptoms for PTS and PTSD are a lot alike, but most cancer patients are able to cope and don't develop full PTSD. The symptoms of cancer-related PTS are not as severe and don't last as long as PTSD.Cancer-related PTS can occur anytime during or after treatment.
Patients dealing with cancer may have symptoms of post-traumatic stress at any point from diagnosis through treatment, after treatment is complete, or during possible recurrence of the cancer. Parents of childhood cancer survivors may also have post-traumatic stress.
This summary is about cancer-related post-traumatic stress in adults, its symptoms, and its treatment.
It is not completely clear who has an increased risk of cancer-related post-traumatic stress. Certain physical and mental factors that are linked to PTS or PTSD have been reported in some studies:Physical factors
Cancer patients may have a lower risk of post-traumatic stress if they have the following:
Post-traumatic stress symptoms develop by conditioning.
Conditioning occurs when certain triggers become linked with an upsetting event. Neutral triggers (such as smells, sounds, and sights) that occurred at the same time as upsetting triggers (such as chemotherapy or painful treatments) later cause anxiety, stress, and fear even when they occur alone, after the trauma has ended.
Cancer may involve stressful events that repeat or continue over time. The patient may suffer symptoms of post-traumatic stress anytime from diagnosis through completion of treatment and possible cancer recurrence, so screening may be needed more than once. Different screening methods may be used to find out if the patient is having symptoms of PTS or PTSD.
In patients who have a history of PTSD from a previous trauma, symptoms may start again by certain triggers during their cancer treatment (for example, being inside MRI or CT scanners). These patients also may have problems adjusting to cancer and cancer treatment.Cancer survivors and their families need long-term monitoring for post-traumatic stress.
Symptoms of post-traumatic stress usually begin within the first 3 months after the trauma, but sometimes they do not appear for months or even years afterwards. Therefore, cancer survivors and their families need long-term monitoring.
Some people who have had an upsetting event may show early symptoms but do not have full PTSD. However, patients with these early symptoms often develop PTSD later. These patients and their family members should receive repeated screening and long-term follow-up. See the PDQ summary on Adjustment to Cancer: Anxiety and Distress for more information.There are many possible triggers for cancer-related post-traumatic stress (PTS) in patients dealing with cancer.
For a patient coping with cancer, the specific trauma that triggers cancer-related post-traumatic stress isn't always known. Because the cancer experience involves so many upsetting events, it is much harder to know the exact cause of stress than it is for other traumas, such as natural disasters or rape.
Triggers during the cancer experience may include the following:
It is important to know the triggers in order to get treatment.Symptoms of cancer-related post-traumatic stress (PTS) are a lot like symptoms of other stress-related disorders.
PTS has many of the same symptoms as depression, anxiety disorders, phobias, and panic disorder.
Some of the symptoms that may be seen in post-traumatic stress and in other conditions include:
Although there are no specific treatments for post-traumatic stress in patients with cancer, treatments used for people with PTSD can be useful in relieving distress in cancer patients and survivors.Cancer survivors with post-traumatic stress need early treatment with methods that are used to treat other trauma victims.
Effects of post-traumatic stress are long-lasting and serious. It may affect the patient's ability to have a normal lifestyle and may affect personal relationships, education, and employment. Because avoiding places and persons linked with cancer is part of post-traumatic stress, the patient may avoid getting professional care.
It is important that cancer survivors are aware of the possible mental distress of living with cancer and the need for early treatment of post-traumatic stress. More than one kind of treatment may be used.Crisis intervention techniques, relaxation training, and support groups may help symptoms of post-traumatic stress.
The crisis intervention method aims to relieve distress and help the patient return to normal activities. This method focuses on solving problems, teaching coping skills, and providing a supportive setting for the patient.
Some patients are helped by methods that teach them to change their behaviors by changing their thinking patterns. Through cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), patients may be helped to:
Support groups may also help people who have post-traumatic stress symptoms. In the group setting, patients can get emotional support, meet others with similar experiences and symptoms, and learn coping and management skills.Medicines may be used for severe symptoms of post-traumatic stress.
For patients with severe symptoms of post-traumatic stress, medicines may be used. For example:

For more specific results, refine the search by using other search features, such as the location of the trial, the type of treatment, or the name of the drug.
General information about clinical trials is also available from the NCI website.
Physician Data Query (PDQ) is the National Cancer Institute's (NCI's) comprehensive cancer information database. The PDQ database contains summaries of the latest published information on cancer prevention, detection, genetics, treatment, supportive care, and complementary and alternative medicine. Most summaries come in two versions. The health professional versions have detailed information written in technical language. The patient versions are written in easy-to-understand, nontechnical language. Both versions have cancer information that is accurate and up to date and most versions are also available in Spanish.
PDQ is a service of the NCI. The NCI is part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). NIH is the federal government’s center of biomedical research. The PDQ summaries are based on an independent review of the medical literature. They are not policy statements of the NCI or the NIH.
This PDQ cancer information summary has current information about the treatment of cancer-related post-traumatic stress. It is meant to inform and help patients, families, and caregivers. It does not give formal guidelines or recommendations for making decisions about health care.
Editorial Boards write the PDQ cancer information summaries and keep them up to date. These Boards are made up of experts in cancer treatment and other specialties related to cancer. The summaries are reviewed regularly and changes are made when there is new information. The date on each summary ("Date Last Modified") is the date of the most recent change.
The information in this patient summary was taken from the health professional version, which is reviewed regularly and updated as needed, by the PDQ Supportive and Palliative Care Editorial Board.
A clinical trial is a study to answer a scientific question, such as whether one treatment is better than another. Trials are based on past studies and what has been learned in the laboratory. Each trial answers certain scientific questions in order to find new and better ways to help cancer patients. During treatment clinical trials, information is collected about the effects of a new treatment and how well it works. If a clinical trial shows that a new treatment is better than one currently being used, the new treatment may become "standard." Patients may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial. Some clinical trials are open only to patients who have not started treatment.
Clinical trials are listed in PDQ and can be found online at NCI's website. Many cancer doctors who take part in clinical trials are also listed in PDQ. For more information, call the Cancer Information Service 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237).

Failure to Refer to Cardiologist, Physician Settles Claim for $2.2M after Patient Has Stroke
June 13, 2014 | Physician Practice News
A primary care physician has agreed to settle malpractice allegations with a payment of $2,225,000 resolving a lawsuit brought by a patient who alleged that the physician should have referred him to a cardiologist in light of abnormal electrocardiogram (EKG) findings and chest pain he experienced. The patient claimed that if he had been properly referred when he was seen, he would have a higher likelihood of avoiding a stroke that occurred less than a year later. The patient was in his mid-50s when he visited the physician complaining of chest pain about one week earlier. He also underwent an EKG that suggested that he may have had a heart attack. He claimed that the physician should have referred him to a cardiologist, who would have provided treatment that would give him a 22% chance of avoiding a stroke in the future. | <urn:uuid:0fda5156-3d90-44ad-8561-32983e4eb241> | CC-MAIN-2020-24 | https://www.ecri.org/search-results/member-preview/physicianpracticeenews/pages/phys061314_failure/ | 2020-06-06T07:03:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-24/segments/1590348511950.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20200606062649-20200606092649-00345.warc.gz | en | 0.990807 | 204 |

Standard Lottery Permit Information kit
Calcuttas originated in Calcutta, India at the beginning of the 19th century when the British introduced a form of wagering in connection with a horse race by “buying” a chance. The format had two components – a lottery (sweepstake) and an auction.
Regardless of whether a person drew a horse in the lottery, the ultimate holder of a particular horse became the person who was the successful bidder for that horse at the auction.
Where the drawer of a horse was the successful bidder, only half of the auction price was paid. If that person was an unsuccessful bidder they received half of the winning bid as the prize for being lucky in the first phase.
Monies raised from the sweepstake and net auction proceeds formed the prize pool. The organiser retained a small percentage of the prize pool and the remainder distributed, on a percentage basis, to the holders of the place getters in the race. Calcuttas have evolved to where there are also conducted on major sporting events such as professional golf tournaments and foot races.
Section 104(1c) of the Gaming and Wagering Commission Act provides for the issue of a calcutta permit to a race club or an approved club for fundraising purposes. A calcutta permit is a specific form of a standard lottery and other than the format of the activity all requirements of a standard lottery apply to a calcutta permit.

A continuing lottery is a lottery in which tickets contain concealed pictures, figures, letters or other symbols which the ticket holder exposes to determine whether they have won a prize. They have been known as bingo tickets (a winning ticket spells bingo), beer tickets (winning tickets exchanged for beer) and break open tickets (the player “breaks open” the ticket to expose the concealed symbols).
Continuing lotteries have been conducted in Western Australia for over 30 years as a means of fundraising for community, sporting and charitable organisations. Continuing lottery tickets may be sold by means of a vending machine at licensed premises and also at bingo sessions. The conduct of a continuing lottery is lawful only if authorised by a permit. As with all other permit types, a continuing lottery cannot be conducted for private gain or commercial undertaking.
Division 2 of the Regulations (regulations 14 & 15) and Division 6 (regulations 32 to 36) detail the requirements for continuing lottery permits.

Video Lottery Terminal
A video lottery terminal (VLT) is a machine which displays electronically on a video screen a depiction of a card displaying symbols, by reference to which prizes in the game played may be won. The concept is basically an electronic version of a continuing lottery and was introduced into Western Australia in 1996.
VLTs must be designed not to dispense cash where a prize is won, but to issue a docket displaying the value of the prize (or value of cumulative prizes) which is exchanged for cash. Also, winnimngs cannot be played off as credits.
A VLT permit may be issued to sporting, charitable and community organisations for fundraising purposes. A separate permit is required for each VLT. VLTs can only be placed in premises approved by the Gaming and Wagering Commission, usually licensed clubs, hotels, taverns and bingo premises. No more than 5 VLTs may be installed in any one premise.
VLTs can only be supplied by the holder of a valid gaming equipment supplier’s certificate for the category of sale and supply of VLTs. Each machine must display a registration plate issued by the Commission.
Division 4 of the regulations (regulation 18AA) detail the requirements for VLTs as does the Gaming and Wagering Commission’s policy

In Western Australia, social gambling is not unlawful. This means that certain types of games can be conducted without a permit. However, there are strict conditions that exist within legislation that defines social gambling.

How i can handel changes in my application
Hi, every body
i have a problem for choosing a solution to handle changes in my application
means: when the user make some thing or change some thing in the application , and try to eixt the program
i will pop up a message to inform him that , he has some changes
i decided to use a boolean global variable , but i don't know that this way is correct
Can you post code snippet?
Global variables are almost never a correct solution, if you ask me.
Make a bool flag in class and a method modified() that only can set flag true. Whenever data change signal emitted in its connected slot call modified. In slot of close check flag if set then inform user.
[quote author="Tabi" date="1380631138"]Can you post code snippet?[/quote]
I speak, in general way
[quote author="Tabi" date="1380632644"]Make a bool flag in class and a method modified() that only can set flag true. Whenever data change signal emitted in its connected slot call modified. In slot of close check flag if set then inform user. [/quote]
Yes this is what i mean, but if this is the right way
[quote author="Andre" date="1380631804"]Global variables are almost never a correct solution, if you ask me.[/quote]
So, what the correct solution ??
AFAIK, re-implement the close event for your Main Window.
This is what I have done in my application.
You have to maintain a private class variable or a static class variable for your Main Window class. I have used a bool variable which is a private class variable, since there are multiple windows in my application.
What you have to do is maintain the value of this variable all throughout your application so that whenever close button is pressed by the user, you will check the value of the variable in the re-implemented function. If there is a change then show a message & ignore the close event. Else accept it.
You can tinker around the help in Qt Creator for the exact code & understanding how to implement it.
Ok, i will try this methode , thanks a lot
http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtwidgets/richtext-textedit-textedit-cpp.html check out the implimentation of bool TextEdit::maybeSave() function.

“To be over all things, ye must have passed through all things, and have had experience with them. It is now the Father’s pleasure to grant you this. Ye who continue steadfast, shall be added upon, and be permitted to enter the second estate; and if ye abide in that, ye shall be further increased and enlarged and be worthy of the third estate, where glory shall be added upon your heads forever and ever.
“Even now, out in space, rolls another world—with no definite form, and void; but God’s Spirit is there, moving upon it, and organizing the elements. In time, it will be a fit abode for you.”
The voice ceased. Majesty stood looking out upon the silent multitude. Then glad hearts could contain no more, and the children of God gave a great shout of joy. Songs of praise and gladness came from the mighty throng, and its music echoed through the realms of heaven!
Then silence fell once more. The Voice was heard again:
“Now, how, and upon what principles will your salvation, exaltation, and eternal glory be brought about? It has been decided in the councils of eternity, and I will tell you.
“When the earth is prepared, two will be sent to begin the work of begetting bodies for you. It needs be that a law be given these first parents. This law will be broken, thus bringing sin into the new world. Transgression is followed by punishment; and thus ye, when ye are born into the world, will come in contact with misery, pain, suffering, and death. Ye will have a field for the exercise of justice and mercy, love and hatred. Ye will suffer, but your suffering will be the furnace through which ye will be tested. Ye will die, and your bodies will return to the earth again. Surrounded by earthly influences, ye will sin. Then, how can ye return to the Father’s presence, and regain your tabernacles? Hear the plan:
“One must be sent to the earth with power over death. He will be the Son, the only begotten in the flesh. He must be sinless, yet bear the sins of the world. Being slain, He will satisfy the eternal law of justice. He will go before and bring to pass the resurrection from the dead.

Whenever I’m at home, all I want for breakfast is coffee, orange juice, and some bread and butter – and I’m good.
But going to the Middle East, when they start bringing out all the fresh salads, candied fruits and jams (such as eggplant and another made from unripe walnuts, just below) and all sorts of beautiful fresh cheeses and pickles, I am helpless to resist. Well, once I’ve had at least one very strong cup of coffee in me.
Here in Beirut, where I’m scooting around with my friends Bethany and Jocelyn, food blogging friends and guides of Taste Lebanon, our first day began with – yes, a little hangover from too much Lebanese wine fueled by a smoking narguilé (hookah) the night before. It was a relatively panicky morning as I realized my phone hadn’t been synced to Lebanese times, which is a little more laid-back than French or American time anyways.
So it was nice to taste a beautiful assortment of freshly baked Arab breads from the ovens at the Four Seasons Hotel. There were warm little rounds of dough with jam and za’atar (a very aromatic blend of dried herbs, such as thyme, with sumac, sesame and salt) smeared on top – others had soft, salty cheese melting into the centers. And of course, there were plenty of others things, like olives, radishes, pickles and a scrambled egg Shakshuka that kept coming to the table, Arabic-style. And warm, just-baked, sesame kohbz to scoop everything up with.
(If you ever go to an Arabic country, try to resist all the first things they bring to your table. Because there will invariably be at least one more round, even more copious than the first. Consider yourself warned!)
But I was most intrigued by the za’atar croissants – flaky, buttery crescents as good as anything I’ve had in Paris. But instead of just delicate layers of pastry, or a stripe of chocolate, inside is a pocket of za’atar with the pungent flavor of sumac to get you going in the morning.
I ate as much as I could before we hustled off to breakfast #2, which was more rustic, street food-style of eating, made with a little bit more muscle, and an extra-generous dose of garlic (and spice) to get me going. | <urn:uuid:7200ab51-51e3-48cd-8a12-70e2781ae9af> | CC-MAIN-2015-40 | http://www.davidlebovitz.com/2013/04/lebanese-breakfast/ | 2015-10-10T19:57:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-40/segments/1443737962531.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20151001221922-00109-ip-10-137-6-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.965336 | 536 |

Note 3: Many additions to the web pages today -- I spent about 3-4 hours working on them. Too many to list -- just wander through.

So here's a question for you -- what about someone who says or writes something that could be construed as advocating Something Bad (tm), but who had had no intentions of advocating said Bad Thing, and in fact, didn't even consider the possibility?
And how does ethical responsibility apply to fiction/art?
This is wandering a bit far afield, but recently this question was brought home to me very sharply when one of my readers told me that he felt one of my stories was glorifying killing in a sexual sense. That wasn't at all what I intended, and I still don't really think the story says that, but looking back at it, I can certainly see how it can be read that way.
Am I responsible if someone goes out and gets into snuff because they got all turned on by my story? Are writers/artists generally responsible for what people read into their work?

Positive displacement (PD) pumps aren’t as common as centrifugal pumps at most plants. So, engineers typically are less familiar with how to control the flow of these pumps. Yet, many applications of PD pumps may benefit from flow control — e.g., direct control to meet process objectives or a cascade from level, temperature or other control loops.
Flow control on most centrifugal pumps involves varying the discharge pressure to alter the pump flow rate. A control valve supplies the variable pressure drop for the system. As long as the pump has a continuously rising head to zero flow, this system usually works dependably.
In contrast, changing flow resistance on a PD pump doesn’t vary the flow rate. In an ideal PD pump with incompressible fluids the flow rate is independent of both the suction and discharge pressures. Real pumps may vary from the ideal due to internal leakage. A control valve on a PD pump doesn’t control the flow rate. A control valve on a PD pump discharge controls the discharge pressure.
Controls for PD pump flow rates must take one of three approaches. First, modify the pump so that each stroke (reciprocating or diaphragm) moves a different amount of flow. Second, alter the speed of the pump. Third, use a recycle stream and change the amount of recycle.
Except for small metering pumps, varying the volume per stroke generally is mechanically complex and expensive. So, flow control in process applications usually involves either altering the pump speed or using recycle. Recycle may be either external or internal or both.
A PD pump normally runs at a slower speed than a standard motor. Therefore, a mechanical connection — such as a hydraulic torque converter, hydroviscous drive or eddy-current coupling — links the motor to the pump. All these can vary the pump speed at constant motor speed. In addition, today’s reliable variable frequency drives enable changing motor speed when using belt drives and gearboxes.
Figure 1 illustrates three basic methods to control PD pumps. Two involve varying motor speed and the other uses recycle.
In the first method (left), an operator sets the pump speed manually. Flow isn’t directly measured. Instead, the operator uses a table of speeds versus flow rates for that service when setting the pump speed. If the control is part of a larger system, some upstream or downstream condition may be measured — and the speed then is varied directly to meet other targets, often a vessel level or temperature. In cases with a cascade to flow, the system inventory provides a cushion to smooth out the effects of uneven flow from the pumps. This system suits nearly all PD pumps, including reciprocating, diaphragm, gear, lobe, screw and progressive cavity types.
The second method involves measuring the flow rate downstream of the pump. The flow controller varies pump speed. This system often isn’t suitable for reciprocating and diaphragm pumps because their strokes cause flow surges that may make stable flow metering difficult. However, the system works well with pumps that have a continuous flow pattern such as gear, screw and progressive cavity types.
The third method varies the net forward flow of the pump via an external recycle loop. This most closely resembles flow control of a centrifugal pump. The recycle valve opens to allow flow to return to the pump suction. Downstream pressure defines the available pressure drop for the control valve. The recycle rate will change based on the pump differential pressure and the control valve opening. This method works best for systems with a high pressure rise and a constant downstream pressure, e.g., pumping from makeup tanks into a high-pressure process system.
The recycle system works well with screw, gear and progressive cavity pumps. It is acceptable for most vane pumps. However, don’t use the method for cyclic pumps such as reciprocating or diaphragm ones; rapidly changing outlet velocities easily can cause problems with cyclic pump inlet-head requirements.
Flow control of a PD pump can be very successful. Just remember to take into account the differences with centrifugal pumps and ensure the control system works correctly.

A Faribault woman pled guilty today in federal court in connection with mailing bomb threats to eight post offices in southern Minnesota.
Christina Anne Reineke pled guilty to one count of sending a threatening communication.
Reineke mailed threatening letters to post offices in Mankato, North Mankato, Lake Crystal, Madelia, New Ulm, Sleepy Eye, LeCenter and St. James on February 9, according to the plea agreement.
The letters indicated that the post offices would be bombed and postal workers and customers would be killed. The letters stated, "Everyone deserves to die. May all of you blow up in smoke."
Reineke recently served a 27-month prison sentence for making terroristic threats against State Rep. Jeanne Poppe, State Sen. Dan Sparks, and Austin Mayor Tom Stiehm.
She was released from Minnesota state prison in November 2008.
Law enforcement officials searched Reineke's residence in March, and found notebook paper that matched the paper used to write the letters. Officials also found a planner listing the addresses of the targeted post offices, and an envelope containing three newspaper articles about the threats.
Reineke could face up to 10 years in federal prison. A judge has not yet determined her sentence. | <urn:uuid:f3e29781-ecc2-4301-bf99-a1bf447f1328> | CC-MAIN-2014-23 | http://www.mprnews.org/story/2009/09/09/faribault-bomb-threats | 2014-08-02T01:28:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-23/segments/1406510275463.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20140728011755-00022-ip-10-146-231-18.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.946016 | 258 |

I’ve been finding it difficult the past few days to come up with good enough subject matter and composition for my shots (literally the two main parts for still life photography). I am confident for when it comes to editing and printing but I seem to have hit a wall with my project at the moment. We have under two weeks to hand out final pieces in and I’m not too sure at the moment what they will be. So I have been experimenting as much as I can with how these images should be set out.
I’ve come to the conclusion that images facing head on at the items are the most successful, as it’s not supposed to be an observation shot rather than needing to be a portrait, almost hyperreal with a vivid yet vague tone. I’ve researched a few artists who do this, but I still can’t seem to mirror their style.
I’ve also been playing around with the idea of irregularity in the shot, which is quite a prominent theme of my project anyway. I did this by taking a shot of an old mug, and two tattered books, to leave no clear indication the time period of this scene. However, just by adding a coloured felt tip pen into the mug, the image seems a great deal more cluttered, and understandably shot recently due to presence of a single item. | <urn:uuid:40f51738-4fcf-4796-9bc1-bdb5beba3b87> | CC-MAIN-2017-30 | https://callumtownsleyblog.wordpress.com/2016/05/02/experimenting-with-composition-and-subject-matter/ | 2017-07-20T18:43:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-30/segments/1500549423320.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20170720181829-20170720201829-00602.warc.gz | en | 0.980981 | 281 |
Woman with Searsport ties marries
West Point, N.Y. — Shannon Schissler and Maj. John Baker were married June 16 at the Cadet chapel at West Point, N.Y. The Rev. Todd A. Cheney, a Baptist Army chaplain, performed the ceremony.
The bride, 30, is a foreign service officer for the United States Agency for International Development in La Paz, Bolivia. She designs and implements projects with Bolivian counterparts to address development issues in areas related to democracy and governance, economic growth and health. She graduated form Bucknell University and received a master's degree in international administration from the University of Miami.
She is the daughter of Susan Schissler of Clark, N.J., and the late Roger Schissler. She is also the granddaughter of Helen and Warren Norton, formerly of Swanville. She attended school for a time in Searsport.
The bridegroom, 35, is a U.S. Army engineer officer who will begin serving next month with the 27th Engineer Battalion at Fort Bragg, N.C. He graduated from West Point and received two master's degrees: one in civil engineering from the University of Virginia and the other in engineering management from the University of Missouri at Rolla.
He is the son of Lynn Baker and John Baker of Burke, Va.
The couple met in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, in July 2009 at a party hosted by a mutual friend about a week after the Honduran military forcibly removed President Manuel Zelaya. Schissler, a longtime Honduras resident, was working in Tegucigalpa for the Agency for International Development as a Peace Corps intern after a two-and-a-half-year- tour as a peace Corps volunteer. Baker was new to Honduras, having recently begun a six-month tour based in Tegucigalpa managing projects for the Army Corps of Engineers throughout Central America.
The wedding was attended by friends and relatives from Massachusetts, New Jersey, Maine, Wyoming and Florida. | <urn:uuid:056966f0-6224-4a42-a46d-a6e17fdc143c> | CC-MAIN-2015-14 | http://waldo.villagesoup.com/p/woman-with-searsport-ties-marries/857249 | 2015-03-29T01:15:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-14/segments/1427131298020.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20150323172138-00189-ip-10-168-14-71.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.963654 | 415 |
The bladder is a balloon-shaped organ in the pelvic area that stores urine. The ureter is a small tube that delivers urine from each kidney down to the bladder. The lining of these structures can develop cancer. The most common type of cancer in these locations is transitional cell carcinoma. Patients who develop this type of cancer can be much more likely to form new tumors of the same type in other locations of this urinary tract lining.
A diagnosis can be prompted by pain, increased urinary frequency, blood in the urine (visible or detected by urinalysis), or a coincidental finding on an x-ray such as a CT scan. Smoking is the greatest single risk factor for bladder cancer. Exposure to certain toxic chemicals and drugs may also increase the risk. The diagnosis can sometimes be made by a variety of x-ray tests. However, placing a telescope inside these structures is often necessary. Examination of the urine for cancer cells (urinary cytology), abnormal DNA (FISH test), or certain chemicals can be helpful.
Bladder cancer can often be treated by placing a telescope into the bladder and scraping the tumor from the lining of the bladder. However, when the tumor invades deep into the wall of the bladder, it is usually necessary to surgically remove the bladder (robotic cystectomy). If the tumor is isolated to a relatively small area away from the opening of the bladder, partial removal of the bladder (partial cystectomy) may be all that is required. Laparoscopic removal using small “button-hole” size incisions can reduce the operative risk and recovery time, particularly with partial removal.
Ureteral cancer usually requires removal of the entire ureter, kidney, and a small portion of the bladder where the ureter inserts (nephrouterectomy). Occasionally, when the tumor is isolated to the lower portion of the ureter, this lower segment can be removed and the remaining portion of the upper ureter can be re-routed to another location in the bladder (ureteral re-implantation). Both of these procedures can also be performed laparoscopically, but require a high level of expertise.
Q: What information should I bring to my first office visit with Scott D. Miller, MD? A: Please bring relevant x-ray films (or computer disks) and any pertinent laboratory, radiology, and pathology reports. Completing our patient information forms (available on our website) prior to your arrival will help inform Dr. Scott Miller regarding your medical history, medications and allergies.
Q: What are the risk factors for developing bladder or ureteral cancer? A: The most significant risk factors are age, smoking, and certain industrial exposures.
Q: What are the risk factors that raise the chance that my bladder or ureteral cancer has spread to other areas of the body? A: The most significant risk factors for having disease outside of the bladder or ureter are tumor size, stage, and grade. A small amount of disease outside of the bladder or ureter, whether close or distant, can be difficult to detect by any type of x-ray test.
Q: What is meant by the term “cancer stage”? A: “Cancer stage” refers to the extent and location of disease, regardless of aggressiveness.
Q: What is meant by the term “cancer grade”? A: “Cancer grade” refers to the aggressiveness of disease, regardless of extent and location. This determination is made by microscopic examination by the pathologist.
Q: What tests do I need prior to making a treatment choice? A: In order to make an informed decision, patients should undergo CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis, chest x-ray, and telescopic examination of the bladder (cystoscopy).
Q: What is a FISH test? A: A FISH test helps detect abnormal DNA in the urine from cancer cells that may have shed from the lining of the urinary tract.
Once diagnosed with transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder or ureter, long-term regular examination of the entire urinary tract is mandatory. Once this tumor occurs in one place, it is much more likely to occur in other parts of the urinary tract. In addition, a slow-growing disease process can suddenly become very aggressive. The keys to successful management include close physician observation, increased fluid intake, and smoking cessation. | <urn:uuid:e560b24c-e6fd-4da2-ba31-9132db45455d> | CC-MAIN-2018-51 | https://www.scottdmillermd.com/patient-information/bladder-and-ureteral-cancer/ | 2018-12-15T19:42:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-51/segments/1544376826968.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20181215174802-20181215200802-00544.warc.gz | en | 0.939652 | 921 |

You don’t have to remain in the stranglehold of EU trade rules when it comes to GMO if you have a political ministry, and activists strong enough to stand against GMO poison – and that’s just what France has done.
Just recently, France’s agriculture ministry – the equivalent of the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) – banned the sale, use, and cultivation of Monsanto’s MON 810 GMO maize. This is the only genetically modified crop currently authorized by the European Union who plans to promote it in poor countries, like Africa, among other trade routes.
France’s decision to ban MON 810 is also a beautifully orchestrated slap in the face to the Chief of Science, Anne Glover, who has stated on record that, ‘GMO has no adverse effect on human health.’
The French are standing strong against biotech and Big Ag monopolies meant to get a foothold wherever they can – even in the Ukraine and Russia. The French have wisely maintained that GM crops present serious health and environmental risks, even after two high courts previously struck down their attempts to ban this poison seed from fertile fields.
This decisions is timed to prevent any new GMO seed being sown before Spring planting which usually happens in the later part of March, and a draft law is debated on April 10 which bans GMOs completely.
“The sale, use and cultivation of varieties of maize seed from the line of genetically modified maizeMON 810 (…) is banned in the country until the adoption, on the one hand, of a final decision, and secondly, of (EU) community action, ” said a decree published by French officials.
Longstanding disagreements between EU countries were again sparked in February when they failed to agree on whether or not to approve a GMO maize variety, Pioneer 1507, developed by DuPont and Dow Chemical, leaving a precedence for the EU Commission to clear its cultivation.
France is trying to win support to overhaul the EU rules, and the rest of the world can stand behind this noble cause.

Residential treatment combines a variety of therapies and other methods to help individuals towards recovery from their substance abuse or addiction. As a comprehensive program, it requires individuals to live in a facility where they receive their treatment around the clock. Residential treatment offers more structure than an outpatient treatment program. It also provides many benefits that are not available to outpatient treatment patients.
Are you aware that residential treatment programs are the best, and most effective way to help individuals establish a sober life? Gaining freedom from addiction, moving past abuse, and building a sober lifestyle are the ultimate goals of residential treatment. This makes residential treatment the most frequently suggested rehabilitation option for people dealing with addiction. Both medical professionals and addiction specialists agree that residential treatment gives recovering people a clear advantage toward success.
Benefits of a Residential Treatment Program
There are many benefits of choosing residential treatment over an outpatient program, including:
Focus: During a residential stay, the demands of daily life are nearly gone. Although residential patients have obligations and responsibilities, they are not leaving to go to work, picking up kids from school, or engaging with triggers. They can completely focus on beginning sober life without the impact of outside forces, temptations, and triggers.
Around the Clock Care: Anyone who has gone through a rehabilitation program knows that recovery is an all the time job. Residential treatment ensures that patients have access to resources and tools 24/7. When choosing the right residential treatment, it means finding doctors, therapists, and case managers that will respond to your needs day or night.
Structure: IOPs and outpatient programs will often provide a loose routine. Residential treatment offers a full schedule of routing and structure. Individuals will often have to give up their entire lifestyles to establish new habits and healthy ways of living and thinking. It’s a form of immersion where you hone in on successful living with resources and tools available to cultivate success.
Methods in Residential Treatment
Many methods are put to use during residential treatment to tackle mental health concerns, identify the underlying causes of addiction, and establish true healing. There is no one-size-fits-all form of treatment. Rehab Carolinas offers a variety of services that allow individuals to find what works best for them during recovery and after. Residential treatments methods may include the following:
Medical Detox Referral
Detox is one of the hardest steps in recovery. We can help individuals during this step by providing a referral to a partner organization. Medical detox is critical for an effective recovery. Rather than allowing patients to detox at home, medical detox allows people access to medication, which can reduce the impact of detoxing. Detoxing can be dangerous and even fatal. In extreme cases of addiction, a medical detox referral is necessary.
Individuals who experience addiction also need to address the core issue behind the addiction. Various therapeutic approaches can include rapid resolution therapy, self-harm thinking patterns, and cognitive behavioral therapy. Individualized therapy is often vital to helping individuals confront the underlying condition of their addiction. It can serve as a foundation for preventing relapse.
Group therapy comes with another set of benefits, which are very different than individual therapy. Group therapy helps people identify the effective and noneffective tools made available for recovery. It can give people confidence in their ability to stay sober and help them build a stronger faith in their treatment.
The saying is that addiction affects families, and it’s true. A single person abusing drugs is not the only person harmed by those choices. It’s important for people to tackle the addiction they’re experiencing, but it is just as important for family members to get better too. At Rehab Carolinas, our clinical director’s expertise is in family therapy. The belief in the vitality of family healing plays a significant role in our programs. Family counseling can help families learn to set healthy and effective boundaries while using communication techniques that support the family as a whole.
Holistic therapies such as yoga and meditation can help people build better lives as they take on sobriety. They can improve their health mentally and physically by focusing on improving themselves during this growth process. At Rehab Carolinas, individuals have the chance to take advantage of many different holistic therapies.
People struggling with addiction often have an underlying mental health condition. Mental health conditions often go undiagnosed. Dual diagnosis is identifying these conditions during rehabilitation. It’s a common occurrence, and people who have underlying or undiagnosed mental health conditions have a much higher risk of relapsing. Dual diagnosis programs help establish treatment and preventing relapse.

When you build a gas station or other fueling station, it is built to the relevant codes for the state and municipality. However, those codes may be changed as time goes by. Staying in compliance is important for your fueling stations.
Leaks and spills are not uncommon at gas stations, especially those are that not kept in compliance. These can be very dangerous. They can also have public health consequences. Getting your systems checked regularly for compliance and making necessary upgrades can help to avoid any issues.
States and the federal government are taking environmental harm more seriously than ever. It is typically much less expensive to make upgrades than to get in trouble for risking the environment and public health.
Fueling stations are built to be safe. It is important to follow the rules to ensure the safety of your employees, customers, and the public. Make sure you are staying on top of the specifics for all of your fuel types. CNG fueling station construction regulations are different than those for gasoline stations.
It is never a good thing to be at the center of a significant accident. Unfortunately, fueling stations can be dangerous if they are not kept up properly.
From a purely economic perspective, staying up to date with compliance regulations is important because it limits your liabilities. If you can show that you have made a good faith effort to keep people safe, the financial impact of accidents will be much lower.
Conversely, negligence, and failure to stay in compliance can result in serious penalties. It can even become a criminal matter. Simply put, it is in your interest to follow the codes.
If you are in the fueling industry, learn more about staying in compliance. It is worth the investment of time and money. | <urn:uuid:1436ef3f-d623-4cd7-99ac-b1cbf994f2b1> | CC-MAIN-2023-06 | https://populicio.us/why-fueling-station-codes-matter.html/ | 2023-02-08T17:24:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-06/segments/1674764500837.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20230208155417-20230208185417-00024.warc.gz | en | 0.963022 | 361 |
I’m having a hard time deciding what I think about this one. I mean, don’t get me wrong, she appears to have an amazing little body, and she does look kind of cute in some photos, but in the others not so much. I’m thinking her tits *might* be fake, however I’m not 100% sure. They just seem to be a little too perfectly round and perky to be natural, but that doesn’t mean they don’t look great on her. If they are fake, she was smart and didn’t go too big. They accent the rest of that sweet bod quite nicely.
Colt says his ex girlfriend was a very horny girl with a big sexual appetite. He had never been with a girl who wanted sex more than him before and of course he loved it. She suddenly began to cool off and he wasn’t quite sure why. He figured the newness of their relationship was just wearing off and it wasn’t anything to be concerned about. However that wasn’t the case. He soon learned that she was also hooking-up with her ex on the side. That’s always a slap in the face. Thanks Colt!

My old flat mate used to work in home removals, removing furniture and junk to be taken to the dump. He would find some interesting items and knowing I liked cameras came home a couple of times and offered them to me, I snapped them up because why would I say no to a free camera?
One of those cameras was a cheap looking Canon SLR which might have cost a few quid when it came out but today looks like a Chinese knock off of what a DSLR should look like. I put it with a dozen other film cameras and neglected it until my recent trip to Pattaya. Being in Thailand, everything is cheap, even when you’re being ripped off, you’re still paying less than you would in developed countries for most items. I figured with film and film processing being so affordable it was time to give the camera a spin. I had to first purchase some batteries and opted for 200 ISO Fuji Film.
I’ve done a couple of film based projects but never really gained anything from them. In the past I used a camera which looked cool but was actually pretty useless as all of the information regarding the iso, aperture and shutter settings had been rubbed off. I had sprinted before I could walk. I struggled to even get the film in as I was winding it too far for the mechanism to pull it in, I asked a Thai print shop to help me which they did.
With my reel in and the first 5 shots destroyed by sunlight already I figured I’d spend an hour or so wasting the film to simply see if the camera worked. I used it in manual mode like I would my DSLR, adjusting ISO, Aperture and Shutter Speed based on the light and subject in front of me and shot at hip-height to try and keep a low profile with my subjects.
The street I was on in Pattaya was nothing special, it was simply the road I planned to develop my film on, just an average day on an average road in Pattaya. Frankly, despite the lack of focus on some of them, I was stunned when they came out. I’ve obviously learned a lot from using my DSLR and I plan to pursue more film work in the future. | <urn:uuid:c769c70d-c79f-422a-930e-76034f9b5b73> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://anihilistabroad.com/2018/03/22/a-street-in-pattaya-shot-with-a-discarded-canon-slr/ | 2019-07-18T04:27:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525500.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20190718042531-20190718064531-00208.warc.gz | en | 0.98647 | 460 |
Philosophical Essays on Mind and Psychology
Fortieth Anniversary Edition
When Brainstorms was published in 1978, the interdisciplinary field of cognitive science was just emerging. Daniel Dennett was a young scholar who wanted to get philosophers out of their armchairs—and into conversations with psychologists, linguists, computer scientists. This collection of seventeen essays by Dennett offers a comprehensive theory of mind, encompassing traditional issues of consciousness and free will. Using careful arguments and ingenious thought experiments, the author exposes familiar preconceptions and hobbling intuitions. The essays are grouped into four sections: “Intentional Explanation and Attributions of Mentality”; “The Nature of Theory in Psychology”; “Objects of Consciousness and the Nature of Experience”; and “Free Will and Personhood.”
This anniversary edition includes a new introduction by Dennett, “Reflections on Brainstorms after Forty Years,” in which he recalls the book’s original publication by Harry and Betty Stanton of Bradford Books and considers the influence and afterlife of some of the essays. For example, “Mechanism and Responsibility” was Dennett’s first articulation of his concept of the intentional stance; “Are Dreams Experiences?” anticipates the major ideas in his 1991 book Consciousness Explained; and “Where Am I?” has been variously represented in a BBC documentary, a student’s Javanese shadow puppet play, and a feature-length film made in the Netherlands, Victim of the Brain. | <urn:uuid:6a938fcb-a49d-4a54-ba6b-95d2cae0cecd> | CC-MAIN-2018-34 | http://cognet.mit.edu/book/brainstorms-0 | 2018-08-21T16:10:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-34/segments/1534221218357.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20180821151743-20180821171743-00231.warc.gz | en | 0.924018 | 325 |

NY Classical Theatre brings the Bard to Battery Park
BY SCOTT STIFFLER | Making dramatic use of Battery Park’s most spectacular set pieces (Castle Clinton, the Statue of Liberty and the sun setting behind the harbor), New York Classical
Theatre’s tip-of-the-island production of “The Tempest” brings both thematic relevance and geographic resonance to Shakespeare’s tale of an exiled magician, his daughter and a very uneasy
family reunion — courtesy of a shipwreck manufactured by the revenge-minded Prospero.
“Half surrounded by water and steeped in history, Battery Park is the perfect setting for Shakespeare’s most magical, otherworldly play,” declares New York Classical Theatre founder and artistic
director Stephen Burdman of the company’s bold, roving production — the first Off-Broadway endeavor to take place at (and around) Castle Clinton since the historic site’s re-opening following
Will the castaways of Prospero’s island be so lucky when it comes to reinvention and redemption? New York Classical Theatre isn’t saying, but the troupe of roving players does note that their
interpretation sets the action in the Victorian era, “when the onset of the Industrial Revolution inspired a countervailing renaissance in spiritualism and a penchant for all things occult.”
For younger audience members who may be new to the play, free educational workshops before selected performances will guide children ages 7-11 and their families through games and
exercises designed to help them better understand the action as it unfolds on a stage — which, in this case, is all the world (of Lower Manhattan). | <urn:uuid:91f93b21-a2a4-4776-a461-d574eb6e0076> | CC-MAIN-2014-52 | http://www.downtownexpress.com/2013/07/17/prospero-on-our-island/ | 2014-12-21T16:32:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-52/segments/1418802771716.117/warc/CC-MAIN-20141217075251-00008-ip-10-231-17-201.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.894479 | 370 |
Pendant Lights. Tuesday , February 06th , 2018 - 14:13:49 PM
Most people that have a home that is not being newly built desire to replace their current lighting with pendant lights, which is a good thing because these lights offer better benefits compared to the ordinary lights fixtures that every household in the neighborhood has. For one, pendant lights are a lot brighter than ordinary lights, and they are fancier compared to other lights. You must be aware about all the dangers that you may have to face without sufficient knowledge of the installation process of the pendant light fixtures.
A multiple pendant is going to have a central globe design with multiple additional lights hanging from it. The number of additional lights can range from 3 to 25. Singles are great for focused task lighting, while multipendants can provide sufficient illumination for a larger space. Pendant lights are great for use in kitchens, especially over kitchen islands where they will be out of the way of traffic and provide focused lighting on the island workstation. Many people like to install them in dark corners as well.
It is very decorative and can highlight a special place or furnishing in the area. Pendant glow can be used to liven up the place by using it to illuminate paintings or special flower vases, or particular furniture like a sofa. Although pendant lighting appears classy, chic and expensive, homeowners need not spend too much to decorate and illuminate their residences with these elegant looking pendant lights, since it is relatively easy to make and create. All that is needed are light bulbs (incandescent or fluorescent), electrical sockets, electrical wires, frames, chain or wire or fishing line (to support the electrical wires where the light will be hanging), old lamp shade frame or lamp globes (which will give the pendant light its character and design).

Love At First Sight,
Well my story starts out a little differently then most. At the time I met my boyfriend we were in basic training together at Ft Sill in Oklahoma. We were in different platoons so we didn't talk very much but the first time we spoke I knew he was the guy I had been searching for. It was a stressful time for him and I both while we were both in training at the same time. But now that I look back Im glad everything happened the way it did. We tried to talk and get to know eachother at every chance we got. During his AIT he found out he was going to be stationed in Germany, so we both decided we would try to work this long distance relationship out. Then a couple months after he was at his duty stationed we found out that he was going to be deploying, we are currently together and he is on his final days of his first deployment. Words cant even express how proud Iam to call him my boyfriend and I cant wait until May to see him. | <urn:uuid:94d71b1a-7000-4eb8-93c7-214437830b20> | CC-MAIN-2014-49 | http://www.experienceproject.com/stories/Am-A-Military-Girlfriend/2972971 | 2014-11-22T03:23:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-49/segments/1416400376197.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20141119123256-00008-ip-10-235-23-156.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.996851 | 213 |
We have been sending out wrong Sharan sandwiches for the past week. A bunch of you have noticed the Sharan hasn’t been as spicy as it should be. It should burn your lips as you finish the sandwich.
If you got one of these mild Sharans, we’re really sorry. Tell your order-taker, and we’ll get you a spicy fix on us, anytime tomorrow or Wednesday.
Chris noticed last week that the habaneros we were receiving from Russo’s were really mild. He adjusted the recipe to account for this strange happening. Anyone know why this could be happening to habaneros? They taste like cherry peppers. | <urn:uuid:b5609bed-c7a4-49a1-ae0d-8cd022a4508f> | CC-MAIN-2018-13 | https://www.cloverfoodlab.com/2015/10/26/weak-sharans/ | 2018-03-23T13:16:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-13/segments/1521257648226.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20180323122312-20180323142312-00557.warc.gz | en | 0.970166 | 139 |
This canvas has DOUBLE dimension thanks to the mini canvases and the designs on them made using CM Metallics…
The mini canvases each have a dimensional design done in a different shade of CM Metallic: Gold, Silver and Copper. The Creative Mediums are SO smooth and creamy, which makes them VERY spreadable and VERY easy to use. Here is a closeup shot of the minis…
I used several stencils to create the background canvas: TCW227 Chevron, TCW278 Circle Explosion, NEW! TCW525s 6″ Screen Print, NEW! TCW527 Word Association and NEW! TCW527s 6″ Word Association.
And for the mini canvases: ALL NEW! TCW548s 6″ Herbarium, TCW 536s Postcard and TCW554s 6″ Butterfly Collage.
Shimmery Izink Inks from Clearsnap were used to paint the canvases and stenciled designs.
I’ve put together a Snapguide that shows how I made this canvas step-by-step. The guide includes both photos and written directions as well as a complete supply list. You can view it here: DIMENSIONAL ALTERED CANVAS

Most of the analysis in this report is based on telephone interviews conducted May 25 to June 29, 2016, among a national sample of 5,006 adults, 18 years of age or older, living in all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia (1,253 respondents were interviewed on a landline telephone, and 3,753 were interviewed on a cellphone, including 2,301 who had no landline telephone). The survey was conducted by interviewers at Princeton Data Source under the direction of Princeton Survey Research Associates International (PSRAI). Interviews were conducted in English and Spanish. For detailed information about our survey methodology, see https://www.pewresearch.org/methodology/u-s-survey-research/
A combination of landline and cell phone random digit dial (RDD) samples was used; both samples were provided by Survey Sampling International. Respondents in the landline sample were selected by randomly asking for the youngest adult male or female who was home at the time. Interviews in the cell sample were conducted with the person who answered the phone, if that person was an adult 18 years of age or older.
The combined landline and cell phone samples were weighted using an iterative technique that matches gender, age, education, race, Hispanic origin and nativity, and region to parameters from the Census Bureau’s 2014 American Community Survey and population density to parameters from the 2010 decennial census. The sample also was weighted to match current patterns of telephone status (landline only, cell phone only, or both landline and cell phone), based on extrapolations from the July-December 2015 National Health Interview Survey. The weighting procedure also accounts for the fact that respondents with both landline and cell phones have a greater probability of being included in the combined sample and adjusts for household size among respondents with a landline phone.
The margins of error reported and statistical tests of significance are adjusted to account for the survey’s design effect, a measure of how much efficiency is lost from the weighting procedures.
The following table shows the unweighted sample sizes and the error attributable to sampling that would be expected at the 95% level of confidence for different groups in the survey:
A second telephone survey was conducted Sept. 1 to 4, 2016, as part of the PSRAI September 2016 Week 1 omnibus. This survey was conducted among a nationally representative sample of 1,004 adults ages 18 or older living in the continental United States (503 respondents were interviewed on a landline telephone, and 501 were interviewed on a cellphone, including 294 who had no landline telephone). Interviews were conducted in English and Spanish. The margin of sampling error for the weighted data is ± 3.8 percentage points.
Sample sizes and sampling errors for other subgroups are available upon request.
In addition to sampling error, one should bear in mind that question wording and practical difficulties in conducting surveys can introduce error or bias into the findings of opinion polls.
Pew Research Center undertakes all polling activity, including calls to mobile telephone numbers, in compliance with the Telephone Consumer Protection Act and other applicable laws.
Coding of industries and occupations
Questions 20a and 20b in the main survey asked employed respondents what industry/field they work in and what kind of work they do (see topline for exact question wording and filters). These open-ended responses were coded using the net categories in the latest U.S. Census Bureau codes for industry and occupation, as reported by IPUMS.
Some industry and occupation codes were further collapsed into larger net categories as follows for analysis: The manufacturing and farming industry includes agriculture, farming, fishing, manufacturing, mining and construction. The trade industry includes retail and wholesale trade. The computer programming/IT industry includes software publishing, internet publishing and broadcasting, data processing and hosting, and computer systems design and related services. The hospitality/service industry includes arts, entertainment, social assistance, accommodation and food services, and all other personal services.
Manual/physical labor occupations include maintenance, installation, repair, production, machine operation, farming, fishing, forestry, construction and extraction. STEM/teaching occupations include computer programmers, coders, software developers, web developers, engineers, life, physical, and social science occupations, health care professionals, health care support occupations, teachers and instructors. Service occupations include food preparation and serving and personal care occupations.
Coding was conducted by PSRAI. The industry and occupation categories mentioned in the report are not exhaustive; only those with the largest shares of respondents are used in the analysis.
Analyses of secondary data
This section describes the data and methods used to measure the workplace trends presented in Chapter 1 of the report. A key aspect is the analysis of employment and wage trends in occupations grouped by job skills and preparation. That analysis is based on the combination of job skills and preparation data from the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Information Network (O*NET) and occupational employment and wage data from the Current Population Survey (CPS).30 The CPS is also the data source for most of the other measures of workplace trends, such as health and retirement benefits, hours worked, job tenure, and self-employment.
Occupational Information Network (O*NET): The O*NET database provides a variety of information related to the requirements of more than 950 occupations. Among other things, O*NET includes information on the specific skills required (mathematics, for example) by occupations, the more general abilities of workers in different occupations (such as stamina), the activities to be performed on the job (interacting with computers, etc.), and the job preparation required (a combination of education, experience and training.) A key piece of information is that each skill, ability or activity is rated on a scale of one to five measuring its importance to job performance, from not important to extremely important. Job preparation is also rated on a scale of one to five, from little or no preparation needed to extensive preparation needed. The ratings are based on ongoing surveys of a nationally representative sample of workers as well as occupation information generated by trained job analysts. This report used the most recent version of O*NET database available at the time (version 20.3, released April 2016). The ratings are mostly from within the past decade, reflecting the current level of importance of a skill to an occupation. Any change in these ratings over time is not observed in the current analysis. The occupations included in O*NET are classified according to a coding scheme that is consistent with the 2010 Standard Occupational Classification.
Current Population Survey (CPS): Conducted jointly by the U.S. Census Bureau and the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the CPS is a monthly survey of approximately 55,000 households and is the source of the nation’s official statistics on unemployment. In this report, 12 monthly CPS files in each year were combined to generate annual estimates of occupational employment in 1980, 1990, 2000, 2010 and 2015. Wages are estimated from the annual outgoing rotation group (ORG) files which consist of the sample of workers from whom wage information was collected. Additional analysis is based on the Annual Social and Economic Supplements (ASEC), conducted in March every year, and other relevant supplements to the CPS. Most of the CPS microdata files used in this report are the Integrated Public Use Microdata Series (IPUMS-CPS) provided by the University of Minnesota.31
Determining job skills and preparation
This report focuses on the changing demand for three major families of job skills – social, analytical and physical. In general terms, social skills include interpersonal skills, written and spoken communications skills, and management or leadership skills. Analytical skills pertain to facility with computers and mathematics, critical thinking and the like. Physical skills describe the ability to work with machinery or equipment, manipulate tools, and to do physical or manual labor.
Job skills and preparation from O*NET data
The table below lists the specific skills and work activities, from among the many listed in O*NET, chosen to represent the broader set of social, analytical and physical skills. Each major family of skills consists of sub-groups. Social skills refer to a combination of interpersonal skills, communication skills and managerial skills; analytical skills are a mix of critical thinking, evaluation and judgement skills, technical skills and basic computer skills; and physical skills are composed of mechanical skills and general physical skills. In turn, each sub-group consists of a handful of specific skills for which ratings are available in the O*NET data.
As noted, the importance of each skill to an occupation is given a numerical rating on a scale of one to five in the O*NET data. For example, chief executives (occupation code 11-1011.00) have an O*NET rating of 4.25 for social perceptiveness (element ID 2.B.1.a), 4.25 for coordination (element ID 2.b.1.b) and 3.12 for service orientation (element ID 2.B.1.f). The average of these three scores – 3.87 – is taken as the measure of the importance of interpersonal skills for chief executives. Similarly, the importance of communication skills is measured by the average of the O*NET rating for reading comprehension, active listening, writing and speaking skills. For chief executives, the average score on communication skills is 4.16. Managerial skills are rated by the average score on persuasion, negotiation, instructing, time management, and management of financial, material and personnel resources. The average score on managerial skills for chief executives is 3.94. Finally, the average of the scores for interpersonal, communication and managerial skills – 3.99 – is the overall social skill rating for chief executives.
The process described above is also used to develop the overall numerical rating for the importance of analytical skills and physical skills in each occupation. As the table shows, analytical skills are comprised of three sub-groups and physical skills are represented by two sub-groups. At the first stage, an average rating is estimated for each sub-group. Next, the average of the ratings for the sub-groups yields a measure of the overall importance of analytical and physical skills. For chief executives, the average importance of analytical skills is 3.70 and the average importance of physical skills is 1.34. The end result of this process is an average numerical rating for the importance of social, analytical and physical skills in each of the more than 950 occupations covered by O*NET.
The job preparation rating for an occupation is as directly recorded in O*NET in job zones. For example, chief executives have a numerical rating of five on job preparation (“extensive preparation needed.”) This rating means that the occupation typically requires a graduate school level of education and extensive skill, knowledge and experience.
Matching O*NET and CPS data
Because O*NET does not contain employment or wage information for occupations it is necessary to match the skills data to CPS data. Although both O*NET and the CPS use the 2010 standard occupational classification there is one key difference: O*NET lists more than 950 occupations coded at the eight-digit level, the finest detail possible, whereas the CPS lists fewer than 500 occupations coded at the four-digit level. In other words, an occupation listed in the CPS typically encompasses more than one occupation listed in O*NET. Thus, occupational data in O*NET must be aggregated to match up to the CPS data. This was done in three steps, as detailed below:
Step 1: The job skills and preparation ratings for eight-digit occupations in O*NET were aggregated to the six-digit level. For example, financial managers, a six-digit occupation, are broken apart into two eight-digit occupations in O*NET: treasurers and controllers and financial managers, branch or department. The job skills and preparation ratings for these two eight-digit occupations in O*NET were averaged to estimate the ratings for financial managers. This process was repeated as necessary and the end result was a set of numerical ratings on job skills and preparation for 772 six-digit occupations.
Step 2: The ratings for six-digit occupations were further aggregated to the four-digit level using an occupational crosswalk from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. For example, marketing and sales managers, a four-digit occupation, consists of the following two six-digit occupations: marketing managers and sales managers. In this step of the aggregation process, the job skills and preparation ratings for marketing managers and sales managers are averaged using the employment in each occupation as the weight. The result of this process was average jobs skills and preparation ratings for some 480 four-digit occupations that could be matched to the CPS.
Step 3: Because occupational classifications are frequently revised, an additional step was necessary to match the job skills and preparation ratings to a harmonized occupation coding scheme that could be used to trace employment and wage trends going back in time. This was done using the scheme available in the IPUMS-CPS data (OCC2010) that provides a consistent, long-term classification of occupations based on the 2010 standard occupational classification. Because of some inconsistencies between the latest CPS occupational codes and the harmonized occupation coding in OCC2010, additional aggregation and recoding was needed to maximize the number of occupations with valid skill ratings. For example, job skills and preparation ratings for advertising and promotions managers, marketing and sales managers, and public relations managers – three distinct four-digit occupations in the current CPS – were averaged using employment weights to estimate the ratings for managers in marketing, advertising, and public relations – a single occupation in the time-consistent OCC2010 classification. The final dataset with job skills and preparation data from O*NET includes 431 occupations, of which employment and wage data from the CPS were available for 430 occupations.
Sorting occupations by skill level and job preparation
Simple averages of the ratings for social, analytical and physical skills for the 431 occupations for which skills and preparation data could be tabulated are used to divide occupations into two groups, those with average to above average skill ratings and those with below average ratings.
In 2015, the average ratings across all occupations are estimated to be 2.96 for social skills, 2.79 for analytical skills, and 2.66 for physical skills. Occupations with a social-skills rating of 2.96 or higher (average to above average) are classified as requiring higher levels of social skills. Examples of such occupations are chief executives and registered nurses. Of the 430 occupations for which employment and wage data are also available, 206 were determined to require average to above average levels of social skills. Similarly, occupations with an analytical-skills rating of 2.79 or higher are classified as requiring higher levels of analytical skills. Numbering 228, this group includes occupations such as tax preparers. Occupations with a physical-skills rating of 2.66 or higher are classified as requiring higher levels of physical skills. There are 218 such occupations, such as welding, soldering and brazing workers.
It should be noted that an occupation may require higher levels of more than one type of skill. For example, being a chief executive requires both higher social and higher analytical skills. Among the 206 occupations requiring relatively higher levels of social skills, 180 also require higher levels of analytical skills. A table available for download provides a complete list of occupations showing whether or not they require higher levels of any of the three skills.
With respect to job preparation, the average rating across all occupations in 2015 is estimated to be 2.88. Jobs requiring this average level of preparation typically call for an associate’s degree or a similar level of vocational training, plus some prior job experience and one or two years of either formal or informal on-the-job training (e.g., electricians). Occupations with a job preparation rating of 2.88 or higher are classified as requiring higher levels of job preparation.
Estimates of hourly wages encompass all workers from whom wage data were collected in the CPS, whether or not the workers were paid on an hourly basis. For workers who are not paid by the hour, the hourly wage is calculated as weekly earnings divided by the usual numbers of hours worked in a week. Wage estimates pertain to a worker’s main job. The CPS collects data on wages from outgoing rotation groups only, which represent one-quarter of the monthly sample. Self-employed workers are excluded from this sub-sample. Wages are adjusted for inflation with the Consumer Price Index Research Series (CPI-U-RS).

We all suffer though poorly written emails, tweets, texts, IMs and ads. Every Day. And don’t even ask about a hand-written letter. They are quickly disappearing as a true art of care and thoughtfulness. It takes real time and concentration to sit down with paper and pen, to consider the subject, the right tone, the meaningful engagement, and set it to paper without mistakes. Try doing that while you’re driving. I cherish the letters that my friends and family write me, such that if the house burns down, I’m grabbing those and some photos. Period. Well, maybe a few other things (in case those who care about the STUFF read this).
When I stumbled upon this lovely little site, Letters of Note, I was instantly hooked. Sign up for their feed and you will receive a little gem with backstory and usually the original letter, along with a translation if the handwriting is hard to read. There are hundreds of archived letters as well.
The most recent article is a great letter from C.S. Lewis to a fan about how to write well. Enjoy!
From the letter:
“What really matters is:–
1. Always try to use the language so as to make quite clear what you mean and make sure your sentence couldn’t mean anything else.
2. Always prefer the plain direct word to the long, vague one. Don’t implement promises, but keep them.
3. Never use abstract nouns when concrete ones will do. If you mean “More people died” don’t say “Mortality rose.”
4. In writing. Don’t use adjectives which merely tell us how you want us to feel about the thing you are describing. I mean, instead of telling us a thing was “terrible,” describe it so that we’ll be terrified. Don’t say it was “delightful”; make us say “delightful” when we’ve read the description. You see, all those words (horrifying, wonderful, hideous, exquisite) are only like saying to your readers, “Please will you do my job for me.”
5. Don’t use words too big for the subject. Don’t say “infinitely” when you mean “very”; otherwise you’ll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite.” | <urn:uuid:db00c988-2c8f-4a5c-99bf-19f0e4123999> | CC-MAIN-2015-06 | http://bigstarcreative.com/blog/learn-me-up-some-writin/ | 2015-01-27T05:43:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-06/segments/1422115861027.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20150124161101-00243-ip-10-180-212-252.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.942718 | 526 |

Berries might be small but they are big when it comes to nutritional value. Eat just a handful or two of these berries every day and you could enjoy better health throughout your life because of the unique age-fighting antioxidants and phytochemicals they contain. They are good for your skin, your brain, your heart, your joints, your eyes and every system of your body.
Blueberries are Packed with Nutrients
Blueberries are described as “super foods” by most nutritionists because of all the different nutrients they contain. They are a source of lutein and zeaxanthin, antioxidants proven to be beneficial for both the prevention and treatment of an age-related eye disease called macular degeneration. Age-related macular degeneration is the most common cause of blindness in the elderly.
Blueberries contain resveratrol, an antioxidant you may have heard of. It is believed to be responsible for the heart-health benefits of red wine. In addition to promoting heart health, resveratrol also has natural anti-inflammatory activity that may keep your joints healthy. Inflammation also plays a role in cancer and heart disease.
Vitamin K is another important nutrient found in blueberries. Vitamin K is important because it ensures that calcium is deposited in the bones and not in the arteries where it can cause heart disease. Many people take calcium supplements for the prevention of osteoporosis but they fail to get enough Vitamin K. So, the calcium may work against their heart health and may not reduce their risk of osteoporosis.
Blueberries are also a source of manganese, another nutrient important for strong healthy bones. Other nutrients the berries provide include beta-carotene, potassium, phosphorus, vitamin E, calcium, iron, magnesium and many of the B vitamins.
A cup a day will boost your energy levels, help reduce your risk of many age-related diseases and also help you reach your recommended daily intake for fiber. Studies indicate that a diet rich in natural fibers helps to lower blood cholesterol levels, keeps you regular and also reduces your risk of colon cancer.
Cranberries Can Fight Infections and Bacteria
If you have frequent urinary tract infections, you should try adding some cranberries to your diet. Cranberry juice is an alternative for reducing the risk of UTIs and may even help with the treatment of an existing UTI.
The juice does not provide the fiber that is so important to your digestive health but studies show that drinking the juice helps to prevent tooth decay by inhibiting the formation of bacteria responsible for plaque formation. There is some evidence that eating cranberries may reduce your risk of certain kinds of cancer, including prostate cancer.
Cranberries contain most of the nutrients found in blueberries. The calcium content is a little higher. The vitamin K content is a little lower. The manganese content is about the same. If you like both, you might have a serving of one today and the other tomorrow. A varied diet is recommended because there are so many unique phytochemicals and antioxidants in fruits, vegetables and berries of all kinds.
Blackberries Offer Omega-3s and Anti-Cancer Properties
One cup of blackberries provides nearly twice as much fiber as blueberries. The nutritional value is similar to that of other berries with two unique additions: vitamin C and omega-3 fatty acids. One cup provides about half of the recommended daily intake of vitamin C. The seeds are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids which are important for heart, brain, joint and eye health and immune system strength.
Blackberries are also a source of salicylic acid, the natural compound from which aspirin was derived. Ellagic acid is another compound found in blackberries. According to studies, the two acids are toxic to a variety of cancer cells, including breast cancer cells.
Raspberries Can Enhance Your Mood
There are many different varieties of raspberries. They all have slightly different tastes which can help you add even more variety to your diet and could encourage you to eat more of these healthy foods.
Red raspberries are the most readily available in the U.S., although black raspberries can be found in some parts of the country. The black raspberries tend to be sweeter than the red. They look something like blackberries but are not a source of omega-3s, as they do not contain the large seeds found in blackberries.
Raw raspberries provide many of the same nutrients found in other berries. A unique nutrient found in raspberries but not in a significant amount in the berries mentioned above is choline.
Choline is particularly important for regulating mood. It is involved in nearly all of the physiological processes that make you feel happy and calm. It is also involved in the methylation process that keeps the feel-good brain chemical serotonin active. This means that raspberries may have natural anti-depressant activity.
Strawberries Have Strong Antioxidants and B Vitamins
Strawberries are also a source of choline. A serving provides 71% of the recommended daily intake for vitamin C. Some comparative studies indicate that 8 strawberries provide more vitamin C than an orange. In terms of antioxidant capacity, it is ranked among the top 20 fruits.
Strawberries are a source of all the B complex vitamins. They are an excellent source of calcium, magnesium and vitamin K, as well as other nutrients important to bone health.
Other Berries You Should Consider
You may have seen other berries being heavily promoted for their health-giving properties, including sea buckthorn berries, Maqui berries, goldenberries, goji berries (although these are becoming more common on store shelves) and camu camu berries.
These were not included in the top 5 list because they are not readily available in the US, except in the form of powders, supplements or juices. When they can be found, they are usually more expensive, which means adding them to your daily diet could be difficult.
Generally speaking, the health benefits of those less common more expensive berries are similar to those of the berries listed here. If you can afford to include them in your diet or you want to take a supplement derived from them, go for it. The more berries you eat of all kinds, the better your health will be! | <urn:uuid:95a49c1d-040c-4d9c-b228-207f2417110e> | CC-MAIN-2021-31 | https://www.herbal-supplements-guide.com/five-healthiest-berries-you-should-be-eating.html | 2021-07-27T01:34:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-31/segments/1627046152168.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20210727010203-20210727040203-00590.warc.gz | en | 0.957393 | 1,302 |
When you choose a professional service like ND-Center, you will find that the price is reasonable. It is heard that they also maintain privacy for their clients. No one can use their documents other than the possessor. But this is only applicable for a replica of the actual documents. These are fake documents but the person actually possesses the document. Somehow he lost the document and he has to present his documents in front of someone for any purpose. In this case, the replica can be made and can be produced in front of others. You can use these Fake Documents for a short period until your original certificates arrive. | <urn:uuid:b59ebd9e-1724-489c-8a0c-dd164feed2d6> | CC-MAIN-2018-30 | http://answerhighway.com/10244/what-is-the-price-of-getting-a-fake-degree-certificate?show=10245 | 2018-07-17T17:13:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-30/segments/1531676589757.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20180717164437-20180717184437-00028.warc.gz | en | 0.966914 | 123 |
