Our lovely dog made fast work out of one of my new cards.
Funny... the message of the card is exactly what I shouted (albeit more sternly) as soon as I realized it was in his mouth and he was ripping it to shreds.
Regardless, I'm very excited to report that Ye olde Etsy shoppe is open again for business. I'm rolling out the cards first.... knitted beasts are next, and then some other new products.
So... without further ado, please redirect your eyes to the Etsy shop preview to your upper right, a newly re-instated feature to the blog, and a very much missed link over these last few months of me spinning my wheels trying to make.... make make make | <urn:uuid:081f73e9-6372-4d21-8c9a-c737425cf349> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://debivanzyl.blogspot.com/2011/02/our-lovely-dog-made-fast-work-out-of.html?showComment=1298395739770 | 2013-05-24T16:30:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368704752145/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516114552-00001-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.977282 | 151 |
10 everyday indulgences
1 Part of indulgence is catering to your senses. To that end, trade in your usual drugstore soaps for fancier ones. Between the packaging and the scents, you’ll feel like you’re at a luxurious spa or hotel with little bundles like these. Shea butter soap, Sweet Petula on etsy.com, $3.
2 Don’t wait for birthdays or holidays. Treat yourself to fresh flowers every week, spreading them around in vases of various shapes and sizes. As the seasons change, play with colour and variety for effect.
3 Your home office doesn’t have to feel like an office. Don’t buy plain old yellow sticky notes or boring white notepads. Dress it up with gorgeous stationery. Pretty patterns make working a little (okay, a lot) more enjoyable. Notecards, SusyJack, $12.75.
4 Splurge on silk bedding … especially silk sheets. They’ll make you feel like you’ve jetted off to an exotic locale or won the lottery! And their luxurious feel makes it just as much fun to wake up in the morning as it does to tuck in at night. Reversible silk quilt, Restoration Hardware, $119.99 to $134.99.
5 Why wait for company to break out the good dishes? Treat yourself to dinner on your good china any ol’ day of the week. Every meal will feel like a sumptuous affair catered by a Michelin-star chef! Photo: William-Ashley.
6 Turn sweet treats into eye candy as well. Place bowls of candies or chocolates around your home. They’ll put a smile on your face any time of day.
7 Finding the time to actually linger in a bath may seem like luxury enough. But kick things up a notch with bath products that are decadent and delightful. These bathcakes from Frilly Lilly ($16) are just what bath time calls for.
8 Handbags + cookies? We're sold. These hand-painted ceramic cookie jars feel like the ultimate indulgence.
9 Decant your favourite bottle of wine. It’ll give you a chance to let the bottle breathe as you catch your breath after a particularly busy week. It feels like a more decadent pour and allows you to better enjoy the vintage. Vino Wine Decanter, Pottery Barn, $29.
10 Creating an at-home spa is relatively easy. Candles? Check. Aromatherapy oils? Check. Plush towels? Check. Add some scrubbing sea salts to the mix and you’re set. Whether scented or not, they’ll make the experience a little more luxurious! | <urn:uuid:1ae296a0-bee6-4647-bbe3-638c3d36bbc0> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://www.styleathome.com/decorating/accessories/article/10-everyday-indulgences | 2017-05-28T10:24:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463609613.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20170528101305-20170528121305-00125.warc.gz | en | 0.920736 | 582 |

Corvus Energy has achieved ISO 14001:2015 certification for its environmental management systems and processes. This recent ISO audit and certification follows a successful audit and recertification in December 2017 for ISO 9001, a certification Corvus Energy has held for several years. The purpose of the ISO 14001 standard is to provide organisations with a framework to protect the environment and respond to changing environmental conditions in balance with socioeconomic needs. The scope includes the environmental aspects of Corvuss design, manufacturing and service of products that Corvus can either directly control or influence considering the lifecycle perspective of lithium-ion- based energy storage systems (ESS). Environmental impact has become an increasingly important consideration for our customers, as local and global environmental issues bring progressively restrictive rules affecting air, water and soil pollution, said Abbas Zenouz, QHSE manager at Corvus Energy The ISO 14001 certification allows us access to markets and customers where consideration of environmental impact is part of the qualification process.

GREEN BAY – Two pillars of the Packers' triumph in Super Bowl XLV are now ready to take their place among the franchise's all-time greats.
Safety Nick Collins and left tackle Chad Clifton will be the first two alumni from the 2010 championship team to be inducted in the Packers Hall of Fame during a ceremony next Saturday at the Lambeau Field Atrium.
They'll be joined by former broadcaster Russ Winnie, whose 18-year tenure as the radio voice of the Packers spanned their first six NFL championship seasons.
Collins and Clifton started a combined 275 games (including playoffs) over 19 NFL seasons – all spent with the Packers – with five Pro Bowl appearances between them.
Both former second-round picks, Collins and Clifton also were critical to the Packers' 13th and most recent NFL title following a 31-25 win over Pittsburgh.
Collins produced one of the lasting moments from the game with his 37-yard interception return for a touchdown off Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger in the first quarter.
The image of Packers linebacker Clay Matthews draped on the back of a jubilant Collins not only epitomized the victory, but also the three-time Pro Bowl safety's importance to the secondary.
"Nick was very instinctive," Packers safeties coach Darren Perry said. "He had a gear that when he saw something, he could close on it about as well as anybody I've been around.
"The way he played the game, you really admired that."
Unfortunately, there would be no encore. Collins suffered a significant neck injury only two games into the 2011 season that would end his playing career at only 28 years old.
Perry, a nine-year NFL starting safety in his own rite, says Collins ranks up there with former Steelers All-Pro safety Troy Polamalu as the best players he's coached at the position.
As well as Collins could diagnose and break down plays at a moment's notice, the three-time all-pro safety impressed Perry with his willingness to accept coaching and direction.
Collins was coming off his first Pro Bowl appearance when defensive coordinator Dom Capers was hired to install his 3-4 defense in 2009. When Perry was installed as safeties coach, Collins was opened-minded to the scheme changes and his new coach's suggestions.
Collins again made the Pro Bowl in 2009 and 2010 under Perry's watch, recording 135 tackles, 26 passes defensed and 10 interceptions in their two-plus seasons together.
Former teammate and close friend Charles Woodson will induct Collins into the Packers Hall of Fame on Saturday night.
"He was a rare athlete," Capers said. "It's just a shame what happened because really he was probably at the top of his game. He had the combination of what you look for in a safety in terms of the size, the speed, the athletic ability, the ball skills, all those things."
Clifton, who started 160 of the 165 regular-season games he played in, was responsible of protecting the blind side for a pair of MVP quarterbacks in Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers.
His job never was easy. It often was Clifton picking up the strongest and fastest pass-rushers that the opposing team had to offer. Yet, the challenge never defeated him.
After coming back from a serious pelvic injury resulting from a blind-side hit from Tampa Bay's Warren Sapp in 2002, the 6-foot-5, 320-pound tackle made two Pro Bowls, the second following his 20 straight starts during the Packers' run to the Super Bowl in 2010.
Mounting injuries limited him to only six games in 2011, which turned out to be his 12th and final season.
"Very professional approach," Packers offensive line coach James Campen said. "He took care of himself. He spent the time extra here in the training room, doing the rehab, the extras, all the things to get ready to play. That's what promotes longevity and stability at one position. He did it the right way."
When it came to choosing someone to induct him, the decision was easy. Like Collins and Perry, Clifton arrived in Green Bay before Campen, but the two developed a deep bond in eight seasons working together.
Campen, overcome by emotion, said he got quiet when Clifton asked him to induct him into the Packers Hall of Fame before graciously accepting.
If you're expecting Campen to give away any of his talking points, you'd be mistaken.
"I was very humbled by the opportunity to do that," Campen said. "It should be a great night, but I'm not going to reveal any of my speech until I get my hands on him one last time. I get three minutes with him. It'll be fun."
Winnie, who died in 1956 at the age of 49, is credited for helping cultivate the Packers' statewide following through his broadcasts.
A native of Racine, Wis., Winnie served as the Packers' radio voice from 1929 through 1946. He also broadcast University of Wisconsin football for 16 of those years.
His grandson, Russ Winnie III, will present Winnie on behalf of his late father, Alon Winnie, whose dream it was to see the eldest Winnie inducted into the Packers Hall of Fame. Alon passed away in January 2015. | <urn:uuid:e77c003e-8327-47bb-865b-a82b18616085> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.packers.com/news/nick-collins-chad-clifton-did-it-the-right-way-17334000 | 2020-09-24T02:59:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400213006.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924002749-20200924032749-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.986714 | 1,109 |
“FITTS” IS CATHERINE AUSTIN FITTS and “FITTS FACTS” are things she has pointed out in various publications, that intersect with and illuminate the subject matter I deal with here, which is a SUBSET of the larger platform on which the family courts play. See also (it’s on my sidebar) “Fees for Friends & FITTS”
This post doesn’t pretend completeness and serves as an alert.
Understanding the material will make for better conversations about reforming the court, that is, more intelligent ones that acknowledge who government is, and what it’s been doing. She does claim we are no longer sovereign and makes a very good case for it, particularly as there isn’t information sovereignty (control) or integrity (checks and balances) on even how much governments hold collectively, let alone how much they have lost and how much of illegal profits (i.e., from drugs, weapons, war, or or other crime). She correlates the growth of private prisons with those (on high) who have invested in them, and confronts the surefire (?) “Go with the flow” and “Never question the tape” (ticker tape of the markets, old term I guess) investment practices which KNOWS that the money is in fields that government regulates and endorses — like the war machine, and pharmaceuticals, not to mention the illegal drugs. cf. The Carlyle Corporation type of businesses.
[I have no association with Ms. Fitts and am not involved in her “Solari Circles,” whatever they are, nor do I expect to be.]
NOTE: IN THE WRITINGS, RELIGIOUS CORPORATIONS AS A (COLLECTIVE) ECONOMIC FORCE ARE NOT ON THE TABLE — AND AS THIS IS SIGNIFICANT, THE ABSENCE IS ALSO SIGNIFICANT, REGARDLESS OF THE AUTHOR’S OCCASIONAL USE OF “GOD” WHEN REFERRING TO ETHICS….
My posting so much “Fitts” doesn’t mean I’m entirely in agreement. Some paragraphs on why:
FOR ONE, I went through the process of having a family [marriage, pregnancy and labor childbirth, raising them and adjustments to work life involved] have endured religious abuse from that husband, very destructive in part because of who tolerated the “head-of-household-based” privilege (not limited to religious groups, plenty more were aware and were asked for help, and asked to intervene, but neither helped, nor had any real referrals for years….), followed by further destruction in the family courts ,or “Unified Family Courts” it would appear — at a time when they’d been sponsored nationwide (pilot programs) by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and after BOTH welfare reform, marked by promotion of the “family values” rhetoric which I found, on closer look, to be simply a way to facilitate further ways to centralize control of government and set up (privatized) money-laundering capacity under the HHS and under the Social Security Act (i.e., Title IV), AND after the “stolen election” Faith-Based Executive Order, and 9/11 events (no, I don’t believe it was properly reported as I have said, it was used to justify launching another US War).
Having been around for the beginning and expansion of the information revolution//development of the Internet, I have seen the justice system becoming more and more of a nightmare even in the past dozen years I’ve spent in it. I am always writing, at some level, for my children, for next-generations to have a record of what the previous one/s just gave them.
Nor has Ms. Fitts so far as I know with, ever even married (if so, it’s not widely published), sparing her MAJOR portions of troubles many Americans, and international couples with one American involved, face, possibly in an exchange for less than protection and intimate companionship (who’s to know) when her business creation was sabotaged and attacked for following the money (see account for details).
So, IF she has significant others (intimate relationships with powerful men) this also is not noted; however she appears to have had some significant emotional connection and bond with the pastor of a major Washington, D.C. area church, and while I can’t tell, possibly as a network of support after the attack on “Hamilton Securities” mid-1990s and ff…See bio/resume for further details of a person raised as a Quaker, no religious affiliation showing til decades later and during a time of trouble.
I did (marry and all that). I have never been a player in the investment field and was not taught anything about it growing up, so far as I knew, my …family did with their investments (if any) what they did with their kids — drop them off for other professionals to essentially handle, to a degree. I was never taught about the importance of incorporations, or buying and selling them, only about good study and work ethics, and (thankfully) a love of reading. As to religious groups, without any literacy on taxes, corporations, or even government, who is to understand religious groups as in partnership (through tax privileges) with the same government that this writer and person labels as a corrupt war machine?
THEREFORE, in POSTING AND PUSHING THIS MATERIAL, IT COMES WITH MY DISCLAIMER AND NOTICE:
Fitts has not touched — at all — the issue of religious institutions as factors in money-laundering or missing assets (many of them received from government particularly since 2001, Faith-based grants) — with a ten-foot pole, or by even mentioning it, although some of her references (esp. Chapter 18, below) reference God, Jesus and religious themes — not much, but it’s still there.
Those institutions also like government, hide assets, do business with each other and friends, own (buy, sell, and lease) real estate, and do not normally educate their patrons (i.e. the rank-and-file churchgoers, specifically — although by religion I don’t mean exclusively Catholic, or Protestant Christianity, or other versions) on things they OUGHT to know about to keep their communities and their communities leadership honest.
I have before referenced how Christian missionary outposts in Africa (mid to late 1800s) became essentially centers of commerce and the military, while helping to restructure the “social space” of the populations. (Chronology of Namibia, see sidebar). Think this is different, or less true today?? If so, WHY?
NEVERTHELESS, this is a good read and crosses enough topics and vocabulary to get another page in the blog:
From what Fitts says of the investment firm DILLON READ (that she worked for), its board members chose to set up suburban New Jersey, their estates and wealth… while their PRIVATE investment firm, with its Bush connections (Yale, Harvard, etc.) was on Wall Street. See Chapter 1: Bush, Bechtel and the Boys, talking a change beginning in the 1980s (note– technology/internet also taking off)
I remember when John Birkelund first came to Dillon Read in 1981 to serve as President and Chief Operating Officer. Dillon was a small private investment bank on Wall Street with a proud history and a shrinking market share as technology and globalization fueled new growth. I had joined the firm three years before and, after a period in corporate finance, had migrated to the Energy Group — helping to arrange financing for oil and gas companies who were clients of Birkelund’s predecessor, Bud Treman. Bud was a member of the old school — an ethical man increasingly frustrated with the corrupting influence of hot money and easy debt.
This was a time of transition. Dillon’s Chairman, Nicholas F. Brady, was considered one of George H. W. Bush’s most intimate friends and advisors. Both attended Yale, both were children of privilege. Bush had left his home in Greenwich Connecticut and with the help at his father’s networks at Brown Brothers Harriman had gone into oil and gas in Texas. Brady had gone to Harvard Business School and then returned to the aristocratic hunt country of New Jersey, where the Bradys and the Dillons had estates, to work at Dillon Read.
Up through the last chapter, Chapter 18, which also begins (not quoted) with a reference to John Birkelund
The story of Cornell Corrections is not a story of powerful evil men doing racist and sexist things. I have known truly evil men. My former partners at Dillon Read are not among them. With rare exception, they were people that I liked and respected when I worked with them. Like the senior appointees in the Clinton Administration, they are well-to-do and well educated people who embrace “the way things are.” Conversion to a war economy and migration from democracy to authoritarianism are “the way things are.” There are big bucks and jobs at Harvard and universities like it for people like Elaine Kamarck who will give this force a socially respectable face with complex partisan distractions which help obfuscate how the Harvard Endowment continues to profit from something far deeper and far more malevolent than most of us — most likely including Elaine — are willing to face.
Wikipedia reminder: size, and growth of Harvard Endowment, as referencing the “Harvard Management Company” (HMC) that manages its 11,000 or so different FUNDS:
Harvard Management Company, Inc. or HMC is an Americaninvestment management corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary ofHarvard University charged with managing the university’s endowment, pension assets, working capital, and non-cash gifts.HMC is best known for managing the university’s $32 billion endowment, the largest endowment in higher education in United States.
The company employs financial professionals to manage the approximately 11,000 funds that constitute the endowment. The company directly manages about one third of the total endowment portfolio while working closely with the external companies that manage the rest. . . .
Jack Meyer managed HMC from 1990 to September 30, 2005, beginning with an endowment worth $4.8 billion and ending with a value of $25.9 billion (including new contributions). During the last decade of his tenure, the endowment earned an annualized return of 15.9%. …[[Then he and others left to form their own firms…]]
The university hired Mohamed El-Erian to succeed Meyer as HMC’s next president and CEO. He came from the bond trading company PIMCO and pledged to “rebuild and reinvent” the company. He announced his leaving September 12, 2007 to return to PIMCO after guiding the endowment to a one-year return of 23%.
To review, HMC, Inc. manages the (huge) Harvard endowment, 1/3rd directly and 2/3rds in close connection with “external companies” who manage the rest. PIMCO only counts because a manager of HMC (El-Erian) came from PIMCO. After he leaves, the next HMC manager is going to have come from one of those external companies…
So, who is, or was, “PIMCO?”
(Wiki link, I”m “speed-skimming” the information for an indicator of connections and/or size. See “Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls” in the next paras, for example….
Pacific Investment Management Company, LLC (commonly called PIMCO), is an American global investment firm headquartered in Newport Beach, California, in the United States, and one of the largest active global fixed income investment managers in the world. As of December 31, 2012 it had $2 trillion in assets under management It is the world’s largest bond investor.
[[INVESTOPEDIA explains the term “BONDS” as opposed to “stocks” and “cash equivalents”]]
A debt investment in which an investor loans money to an entity (corporate or governmental) that borrows the funds for a defined period of time at a fixed interest rate. Bonds are used by companies, municipalities, states and U.S. and foreign governments to finance a variety of projects and activities.
Bonds are commonly referred to as fixed-income securities and are one of the three main asset classes, along with stocks and cash equivalents. …
The indebted entity (issuer) issues a bond that states the interest rate (coupon) that will be paid and when the loaned funds (bond principal) are to be returned (maturity date). Interest on bonds is usually paid every six months (semi-annually). The main categories of bonds are corporate bonds, municipal bonds, and U.S. Treasury bonds, notes and bills, which are collectively referred to as simply “Treasuries.”
Two features of a bond – credit quality and duration – are the principal determinants of a bond’s interest rate. Bond maturities range from a 90-day Treasury bill to a 30-year government bond. Corporate and municipals are typically in the three to 10-year range.
PIMCO is led by co-founder William H. Gross, (usually known as Bill Gross) who serves as Co-Chief Investment Officer, and Mohamed A. El-Erian, the other Co-CIO and the firm’s CEO. Gross manages the Total Return Fund, the world’s largest mutual fund with assets of $242.7 billion as of June 30, 2011. Its head of European operations is Andrew Balls, the brother of the British shadow chancellor Ed Balls.##
[INVESTOPEDIA explains the term “MUTUAL FUNDS“, i.e., “Mutual” enabling smaller investors to pool their monies;]]
An investment vehicle that is made up of a pool of funds collected from many investors for the purpose of investing in securities such as stocks, bonds, money market instruments and similar assets. Mutual funds are operated by money managers, who invest the fund’s capital and attempt to produce capital gains and income for the fund’s investors. A mutual fund’s portfolio is structured and maintained to match the investment objectives stated in its prospectus..
. .One of the main advantages of mutual funds is that they give small investors access to professionally managed, diversified portfolios of equities, bonds and other securities, which would be quite difficult (if not impossible) to create with a small amount of capital. Each shareholder participates proportionally in the gain or loss of the fund. Mutual fund units, or shares, are issued and can typically be purchased or redeemed as needed at the fund’s current net asset value (NAV) per share, which is sometimes expressed as NAVPS.
The firm [PIMCO] was founded in 1971, launching with $12 million of assets. Previously, PIMCO had functioned as a unit of Pacific Life Insurance Co., managing separate accounts for that insurer’s clients. In 2000, PIMCO was acquired by Allianz SE, a large global financial services company based in Germany, but the firm continues to operate as an autonomous subsidiary of Allianz.
PIMCO oversees investments on behalf of a wide range of clients, including millions of retirement savers, public and private pension plans, educational institutions, central banks, foundations and endowments, among others.
In Sept.2007, HMC loses Mohamed El-Erian, next article shows,formerly working on the International Monetary Fund, back to PIMCO:
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. (September 11, 2007) – PIMCO, one of the world’s leading investment management companies, announced today that Mohamed El-Erian, its former Managing Director and Senior Portfolio Manager, will return to the firm in January 2008 in a newly created position as Managing Director and Co-CEO and Co-CIO. In his new position, El-Erian will join CEO Bill Thompson and Chief Investment Officer and company founder Bill Gross, as a member of PIMCO’s senior management team.
El-Erian will return to PIMCO from the Harvard Management Company (HMC), where since being hired in October 2005, he distinguished himself as President and CEO of the world’s largest university endowment. During his tenure at the HMC, El-Erian rebuilt the professional investment management staff and contributed to outstanding investment results for Harvard. Before joining HMC, El-Erian had worked at PIMCO for 7 years where he was a highly regarded senior member of the Portfolio Management team. Prior to PIMCO, he had spent 15 years with the International Monetary Fund (IMF). …
With more than $693 billion assets under management, PIMCO is one of the world’s leading fund-management companies. Founded in 1971 and based in Newport Beach, California, the company is owned by Allianz Global Investors a subsidiary of the Munich-based Allianz Group, a leading global insurance company with nearly $1.5 trillion in assets and represented in 70 countries around the globe.
.That’s just some background on who’s been MANAGING the company (HMC) that manages (1/3 of) the Harvard Endowment, that’s not the Harvard Endowment….
##Shadow Chancellor — opposition party, shadows the Exchequer, whose title parallels Secretary of the Treasury (governmental finance ministers). Look who “Ed Balls” is:
From 2005 to2010, he was the MP for Normanton and he served as Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families under Gordon Brown from 2007 to 2010. Balls is married to current Shadow Home Secretary and fellow Labour MP Yvette Cooper. In June 2007 they became the first married couple to serve together in a British Cabinet when Cooper became Chief Secretary to the Treasury.
(Chancellor of the Exchequer meaning):
The Chancellor of the Exchequer is the title held by the BritishCabinet minister who is responsible for all economic and financialmatters, equivalent to the role of Minister of Finance or Secretary of the Treasury in other nations. Often simply called the Chancellor, the office-holder controls HM Treasury. The position is considered one of the four Great Offices of State, and in recent times has come to be the most powerful office in British politics after the Prime Minister. It is the only office of the four Great Offices not to have been occupied by a woman.
Jane Mendillo was named the new head of HMC, effective July 1, 2008. She had been Wellesley College’s chief investment officer since 2002. Prior to that, she served as vice president for external management at HMC. A 1984 graduate of Yale University followed by an MBA from Yale School of Management, Mendillo first joined HMC as an equities analyst in 1987.
For a very (very, very) short chart showing American University ENDOWMENT funds (this is Wiki also) listed in Billions and the column for 2012 size of endowments sorted from Large to Small — we can see several universities that ALSO continue to pop up (on my scope, at least) as highly active in directing population control, marriage promotion, responsible fatherhood and other kinds of “relationship regulating” programs out of the HHS sector, i.e., pilot projects on poor people:

How does it do this? US News and World Report (October 2013) spoke of how Harvard Endowment “Dwarfs its Competitors”
Harvard’s $30 billion endowment shrank, but still dwarfed those of its peers.
By DEVON HAYNIE
October 1, 2013
Harvard University, the college with the largest endowment in the country, saw its numbers drop from $32 billion at the end of fiscal year 2011 to $30 billion at the end of fiscal year 2012, according to data reported to U.S. News in an annual survey. But compared to its peers, the prestigious college is still in good shape.
Of the 1,141 ranked National Universities, National Liberal Arts Colleges, Regional Colleges and Regional Universities that reported endowment figures to U.S. News, the average endowment was roughly $329.9 million.
At the 10 schools with the highest endowments, the average endowment was about $13 billion. All but two schools on the list –University of Michigan—Ann Arbor and Texas A&M University—College Station – are private schools.For the purposes of this list, endowments were examined by campus, not across public university systems. Unranked schools, which did not meet certain criteria required by U.S. News to be numerically ranked, were not considered for this report.
School name (state) End of fiscal year 2012 endowment U.S. News rank and category Harvard University(MA) $30,745,534,000 2, National Universities Yale University (CT) $19,264,289,000 3, National Universities Princeton University(NJ) $17,404,002,000 1, National Universities Stanford University(CA) $17,035,804,000 5, National Universities Massachusetts Institute of Technology $10,149,564,000 7, National Universities Columbia University(NY) $7,654,152,000 4, National Universities University of Michigan—Ann Arbor $7,586,547,000 28, National Universities Texas A&M University—College Station $7,032,203,615 69, National Universities University of Pennsylvania $6,754,658,000 7, National Universities University of Notre Dame (IN) $6,444,599,000 18, National Universities
just a sample of some related Harvard 990s (there are several) from the foundation center:
President and Fellows of Harvard Corporation MA 2012 990 262 $56,370,683,000 ~ 04-2103580
The next one (EIN22-3138409, notice I have years 2012-11-10 showing increase in assets) is listed c/o “Harvard Management Company” CEO Jane L. Mendillo, above (pink rectangle, near bottom of the bright pink section of quotes) who is now managing HMC. Please scroll through and see what’s being invested in.
Her base compensation is over $1 million, with bonus and incentives over $4 million. Other officers also well paid (though under $ 1 million salary). Also see the Contractors its paying to invest, specifically (YR 2011) Westbrook Realty? (Palm Beach, FL), a group in NYC and a group on Hong Kong. Controlled corporations are all over the world. The purpose of “Harvard Private Capital Realty is (it says) to support the “President and Fellows of Harvard Corporation, above.”

AND also (another one): (c/o same person Jane Mendillo):
|Harvard Management Private Equity Corp.||MA||2012||990||54||$11,136,388,834||~ 04-3070522|
Not to mention HMC itself, which I see is also a nonprofit, with a measly $83 million, not Billions, in 2012, although notice the assets are growing, still;
|Harvard Management Company Inc.||MA||2012||990||64||$83,518,157||//23-7361259|
|Harvard Management Company Inc.||MA||2011||990||69||$70,086,233||//23-7361259|

|Harvard-Yenching Institute||MA||2011||990||47||$201,124,545||~ 04-2062394|
(spits out about $4 million investment income — supports the above corporation an UBCHEA (supporting Christian Higher Education in Asia)
|Harvard-Westlake School||CA||2012||990||42||$253,811,589||~ 95-1644019|
(Above: may not even be related, but this is a Jr/Sr.High prep school for only 1,600 students, that’s a hefty endowment; $73million receipts, etc.)
|Harvard University Employees Credit Union||MA||2012||990O||23||$415,027,474||~ 04-6017806|
(Above: assets increased by $66 million in only 2 years)…
Then I see the various alumni association (by Year) at least one (Yr 1955) I checked which does contribute to the President and Fellows of Harvard, above (this one — $1.4 million and the only grant it distributed):
|Harvard Class of 1955||MA||2012||990EO||5||$24,207.58||04-2818449|
Some of them may be dying off from old age, I see this one hasn’t filed since 2005 but something happened that year, to its assets, obviously:
|Harvard Class of 1944||MA||2005||990EO||3||$40,389.66||86-1120727|
|Harvard Class of 1944||MA||2004||990EO||3||$21,986||86-1120727|
Finally — get this — the following association (I only noticed because its assets were large enough):
|Harvard Center for Neurodegeneration and Repair, Inc.**||MA||2012||990||76||$11,545,773||31-1745145|
|Harvard Center for Neurodegeneration and Repair, Inc.||MA||2011||990||69||$13,750,250||31-1745145|
|Harvard Center for Neurodegeneration and Repair, Inc.||MA||2010||990||39||$15,896,685||31-1745145|
**UNlike others, we see its assets declining for three years. The top tax return notes that the officer are actually EMPLOYEES of “The President and Fellows of Harvard” (top listed EIN#, above). Towards the last few pages of this (76pager) tax return, I find something “unbelievable” — it was seeking for a “revival” last March, 2013 — as it had been suspended for NOT FILING ANNUAL REPORTS FOR: 2009, 2010, 2011 AND 2012, although (it said) business had continued as usual since the revocation. Too busy to send in that one- or two-page form (or do it on-line) stating, “we still exist as a corporation”???
Paging through an alpha sorted (no states specified) search for “HARVARD” in the 990sFinder It seems that the nation is obsessed with the word “Harvard” and wants to be associated with it. That’s not including the medical foundations, either among the largest ones. And I didn’t even look at ‘YALE” yet.
Harvard (and Yale), admitted women WHEN??? please?
This foundation (at Harvard) was only started in 1995:
|ORGANIZATION NAME||STATE||YEAR||FORM||PAGES||TOTAL ASSETS||EIN|
|Giovanni Armenise-Harvard Foundation for Scientific Research||MA||2012||990||73||$70,363,620||/04-3293162|
|Giovanni Armenise-Harvard Foundation for Scientific Research||MA||2011||990||69||$75,220,445||/04-3293162|
|Giovanni Armenise-Harvard Foundation for Scientific Research||MA||2010||990||41||$66,694,653||/04-3293162|
It has no employees….earned (Yr 2011) investment income of $3.1 million which it spent….The investments (assets) are exclusively in Public Traded Securities….
(The Benefactor, mentioned for Business and Banking in Italy, died in October 2013, in Rome):
Since 1996, the Giovanni Armenise-Harvard Foundation has established Armenise Centers for Cancer Biology, Structural Biology, Neuroscience, Microbial Pathogenesis and the Host Response, Integrative Biology and Physiology, Systems Biology, and Genomics and Post-Genomics at the Medical School, and supported collaborative programs between these Centers and Italian scientific institutions. The Foundation has also sponsored a series of international symposia that have brought together hundreds of American and Italian scientists to share their work and ideas.
As I’ve been saying, whatever ails the philanthropists or their relatives that’s where their money goes, and so goes the medical, social science, justice improvement, foster-care (etc.) research institutes, AND institutions.
ANYHOW, now that we have a grasp of “Harvard is Huge” concept, financially . . . .
Far above, I was quoting C. A. Fitts from “The Aristocracy of Stock Profits,” Chapter 18 “Through the Via Dolorosa,” and the continuation is here:
…If I were to sit down with Al Gore, Elaine Kamarck, Jamie Gorelick and Chris Edley, I would expect their explanations would involve more obfuscating policy discussions but it would ultimately come down to a similar notion of going with the flow. As would the hundreds of thousands of highly credentialed, well-paid Americans who have actively lead the day-to-day implementation of policies that — when we pierce the veil — are really dictated by powerful private interests outside of the law as most believe it to be. All these policies and actions add up to genocide — of our families and communities and of all living things, both throughout America and around the world.
. . . . “GOING WITH THE FLOW” for too many of us represents the outflow of blood, from our bodies, within our marriages, relationships, and also the “outflow” of opportunities to re-engage in the work (despite the phrase “Right To Work” in the 1996 “ending welfare as we know it “PRWORA” Budget act – I have found it to be the opposite, and the repeatedly disrupted, violently interrupted actual “Right to Work” AND to choose when, where and how according to natural needs (not unnatural sociopathic need to create a dependent sub-set of a marriage, a family, or a community) according to who actually wants to hire us — and then to retain the income FROM our own efforts and labors, to use as wisely as possible (some might call this “liberty”) — that is NOT a right that women, or mothers, have in the present climate — unless they have already determined, or subconsciously “gone with the flow.”
Fitts describes the flow of power, and money and assets and wealth. She talks about how are too invested/networked in the destructive network. I agree (with the exception, noted above, that the religious are no antidote to THIS setup!!!) — and believe that it’s up to those who have gone through this “Via Dolorosa” as she calls it — to best judge what must be changed.
BUT — those of us who have, really do need to again, ‘GET HONEST’ about these interlocking systems, and get a better, as I said, language to describe them that is within the realm of reality.
The power of the killing machine rests in part in the broad based popular support it receives through the investment system and the financial markets. How are we to plead ignorance if the profits and growth in our 401(k) plans and investment portfolios have been enriched from prison stocks and the securities of the banks, homebuilders, property managers, mortgage bankers and other groups who managed this process of ethnic and economic cleansing and the gentrification it made possible?
What can our “socially responsible” investment managers say when they invest in the stocks of banks, like Citibank and JP Morgan-Chase, and government contractors, like IBM and AT&T, who are running critical parts of government as these manipulations occur — including the disappearance of $4 trillion from government bank accounts and the manipulation of the gold markets and inventory in a silent financial coup d’etat? What can all those who benefited financially in the stock market, or from cheap mortgage and consumer loans or reduced ATM and checking fees say? We disassociated the source of our financial benefits from what we saw happening around us that we knew was wrong.
When we discuss (if we do) the Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports and the fact that the public is led to think in terms of Budget, but Government (collective) operates in terms of PROFITS — which fact the public is kept AS clueless as possible about (and reporters trying to change that tend to experience major retaliation) — we are talking about HOW government (collective) profits from the business of governing, in both legal and illegal manners.
Investment return on owned assets, or owned businesses, profits in turnover of housing or businesses, etc. brings up, how was ownership delivered from individuals to the government, at times?
I can’t keep quoting these sections and, repeatedly quoting this material to set the context for an average post, so am setting up this page in 2014, about two years after I discovered CAFRs and Catherine Austin Fitt’s writing about investments in a way I could actually understand — and even with a passing (although it should’ve been more central in her material) reference also to CAFRs herself as ROADMAPS to GEOGRAPHICALLY WHERE is government money. I DNR offhand, but readers may find a section in her writings (these or others) explaining that what the software and technology of her “Hamilton Securities” company (which was targeted for elimination, and whose software and technology was grabbed in the process) – may have been based on locating this CAFR information itself, and data-basing it for geographic search. She has many times stated that in finding the “clean” money, it exposed the dirty (drug profits) money – -i.e., in those HUD housing projects.
I would deeply appreciate people reading through this material (as I have) and when conversing with me on the family court system, making reference to it. Then, those people who are NOT in favor of a privatized government sector and police state posing as a representative or even democratic government providing “Services” (something it’s clearly not) can with me better discuss what to do about it. Other than evacuate the premises, which as it’s pretty much global, is easier said than done. I have seen by looking how the American public is being used (because we still DO pay those income, and sales taxes to fund our own abusive government/s) to help set up the police state globally. So, what do you think is going to happen when the process is complete, or almost complete? (Hint: for an example, look at Africa)…
Thank you. Comment on ANY post, I will be emailed the notice and respond if there’s a genuine comment, or wish to discuss any of these matters. Please stop by a DONATE button en route, if you are able….
Many of the things she explains, I came across separately by following up on perhaps one too many HHS grantees, finding a similar HUD grantee nearby, i.e., Community Development Corporations, etc. of another era. Also, always keep in mind which decade you are in (in any discussion) and that since the creation of the income tax and a few other control systems (like of the currency), it’s been a matter of continuing centralized control, which to be maintained HAS to involve population control (and systems of it) and of course propaganda about what a great, free, and worthy of being sacrificed to country we have here. In my experience, what we have is a great, but less than worthy of allegiance, CORPORATION calling itself a country only because it makes the rules, and different rules apply to government corporations than to commercial ones (i.e., there’s no “Securities Exchange Regulation” for the sectors of government — which obviously are not themselves taxed — pooling investments and investing in corporations, etc. etc.
Some of the projects I ended up looking at (they were “fatherhood” promoters, found as I recall one, on the board of an Arizona-originated “Fathers and Families Coalition of America”) were in Los Angeles, a major port city with known drug issues and a reputation (well-earned) for very corrupt governments — and where, at least in part, the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts claims it first started in 1963 (although incorporation records don’t bear that out; it had to keep changing states and names to coverup the previous tax evasion, tax fraud status of the earliest years. [“Look Up A Nonprofit, Impromptu How-To” post]
From that post:
Example: In California, on Secretary of State site, I typed in ONE word under the Business Entities (select “Corporations”) search: “Conciliation” and got two pages of results, which show which are active, and which suspended. As you can see, for such a popular term as “Conciliation” — only FOUR actually ACTIVE corporations remain. Following up on this (not the first time i have on this blog), gets interesting. It sheds light on public persona versus private nonprofit and corporations. LIke, who is making up a sort of public “folklore” of the group’s history for the gullible?

[[note: a search on “reconciliation” pulls up more results — 7 pages @ max 10/page of results.]]
So the colorful table above is a simple search of CORPORATIONS (i.e., Secretary of State/Business Entity Search) with the word “Conciliation” in their name. I didn’t do a parallel search of “LLC’s” to see if there were some.
As we can see, it’s a very popular word, however the people who enthusiastically incorporated (literally) with this word in their company name, didn’t “go the distance.” It should be noted, there are some who are immoral enough to continue taking funds (in public, possibly in private) after their corporation has been suspended. So, out of public profile here doesn’t mean necessarily out of cash, or non-operating.

Technically speaking a corporation is identified BY its corporate name — and as such that corporation did not exist in 1963 OR 1969, but only later. EIN# fraud is intrinsic to the establishment and organization (nationwide, internationally to a degree) of the “AFCC’s” beginnings, regardless of whatever else their propaganda and an oral interview with Meyer Elkin (from 1992), one of its founders may say. The essence appears to be grounded in FRAUD… bringing up the question, what is the fraud mostly going to be regarding? Answer: Profits from business operations. What was a primary industry? Answer: Training professionals and others to enter the trades about to be created through creating another entire court system in the United States of America, the Conciliation Courts.
So, please DO wind your way (until it sinks in) through not some but ALL of Ms. Fitts’ “Dillon Read and the Aristocracy of Stock Profits.” Fragments:
My intention for this story is to make clear how the system really works. A system in which a small group of ambitious insiders — who more often than not were educated at Harvard, Yale, Princeton and the other Ivy League schools — enjoy centralizing power and advantaging themselves. Paradigms of Republican vs. Democrat or Conservative vs. Progressive have been designed for obfuscation and entertainment. An endless number of philosophies and strains of religious and “holier than thou” moralism are really put on and taken off like fresh make-up in the effort to hide from view a deeper, uglier face. . . . .
The Clinton Administration took the groundwork laid by Nixon, Reagan and Bush and embraced and blossomed the expansion and promotion of federal support for police, enforcement and the War on Drugs with a passion …. Attracting capital also required making the world safe for the reinvestment of the profits of organized crime and the war machine. Without growing organized crime and military activities through government budgets and contracts, the economy would stop centralizing. The Clinton Administration was to govern a doubling of the federal prison population.
. . .
[[LGH note: more talk of PRIVATIZING the Federal Prison Industry, and who’d been investing in it, primarily Republican….NOTE: Compare with my 9/2012 blog pointing out Corrections Corporation of America. This is in the same “ballpark,” as to subject matter. Who invests in those privatized prisons?
CCA-Private Prisons, Slave Labor, Shareholder Profits
(LGH post…) I was talking Corrections Corporation of America. She is talking Cornell Corrections and Wackenhut, etc. and how a Democratic Administration (US President) helped legislation profiting Republican Interests]]Fannie Mae has been a leading player in centralizing control of the mortgage markets into Washington D.C. and Wall Street. And that means as people were rounded up and shipped to prison as part of Operation Safe Home, Fannie was right behind to finance the gentrification of neighborhoods. . . .
And that is before we ask questions about the extent to which the estimated annual financial flows of $500 billion–$1 trillion money laundering through the U.S. financial system or money missing from the US government are reinvested into Fannie Mae securities.
It is important before closing this description of Cornell’s extraordinary good fortune with the Federal Bureau of Prisons and DOJ in the fall of 1995 and the spring and summer of 1996*** to provide some additional context.
During this period, America was in the middle of a Presidential election. Bill Clinton and Al Gore were running for their second term. Dillon Read was a traditionally Republican firm, with the largest Dillon investors in Cornell giving generously to the Republican Party as well as to the Dole-Kemp campaign, whose campaign manager, Scott Reed, had been Kemp’s chief of staff at HUD and then Executive Director of the Republican Party. The corporate ancestry and relations of Cornell — Bechtel, Houston, their auditor, Arthur Anderson’s Houston office, their attorney, Baker Botts, and their construction company, Halliburton/KBR — are ties all deeply associated with the Bush family and Republican camp.

WELFARE REFORM, RHODES SCHOLAR INFLUENCE, COLONIZATION, AND THE “AMORAL” FACTOR:
**anyone who has been following this blog (or relevant issues in the family courts) and is NOT aware, yet, of the dramatic impact 1996 Welfare Reform (a budget bill — budget meaning, for the United States of America, and including appropriations to fund all these programs — signed by President Bill Clinton) had (negative) upon women and mothers, particularly single mothers leaving abuse, in re: the rapid promotion and expansion of marriage/fatherhood rhetoric AND FUNDING throughout government (per executive order signed 1995 by President Clinton, and a lot more — see my blogroll) — should understand that he was under political pressure at the time. That he was a Rhodes Scholar (Oxford-trained) with a Rhodes Scholar Secretary of Labor at this time (Robert Reich), and I THINK also a Rhodes Scholar consultant from Arkansas brought in — first, privately and under a “code name” — named Dick Morris (source: PBS frontline interviews, and biographies of Bill Clinton); who had also been in part mentored by another Rhodes Scholar (the first one to become a U.S> President — i.e., Senator Fulbright). The discussion, in interviews now published about that time, include the word “TRIANGULATION” and “HEGELIAN” and “AMORAL” i.e., strategies to get a desired outcome.
The “RHODES” factor is simple. Cecil Rhodes set up his trust with a racist (Anglo superiority) and of course sexist imperialist plan to regain the world for the British empire, which includes the U.S. Colonies (then, less than 150 years “independent.”). If you look at the HOW of the man’s original fortune, you have a character indicator — and American complicity; the man mowed down people fighting for their lives and homes — with a Maxim machine gun; he set up cartels at the Kimberly mine, exploiting the need for water and when people couldn’t pay his prices (having a monopoly on the technology needed), he forced them to pay with shares of their mines.
(after discussing a model which utilized computer training skills IN neighborhoods versus the habit of eviscerating neighborhoods to turn over the properties, combined with the private prison industry, HUD allies, etc…..)
Others were not so positive, including special interests whose business had become managing “the poor” and who would be out of a business if new tools and opportunities were to significantly decrease the number of people who were poor. Many of these were traditionally powerful Democratic constituencies, including private for-profits, foundations, universities and not-for-profit agencies that had built up a significant infrastructure servicing and supporting programs to house, feed and supervise poor people. If people were no longer poor, what was their purpose?
When we made a presentation to a group of leading foundations, in partnership with a Los Angeles entertainment company interested in using entertainment skills to make training fun, the head of low-income programs at Fannie Mae told me that it was the most depressing presentation he had ever seen. It implied that the poor did not need his help — that his life and work had no meaning. It appeared he did not want to end poverty. His personal meaning was derived from poverty continuing, if not growing. Real estate interests that were hoping to gentrify neighborhoods as a result of welfare reform were also not pleased. They would make more money turning over populations rather than helping the current population improve without moving. Their allies were enforcement teams like the HUD OIG that won funding and generated revenues from helping to get one group out, so another group could be moved in. | <urn:uuid:4bf4ed8c-11a4-4d5f-b8d9-8320fe755e68> | CC-MAIN-2017-09 | https://familycourtmatters.org/fitts-facts-segments-from-dillon-read-and-the-aristocracy-of-stock-profits/ | 2017-02-27T09:00:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-09/segments/1487501172775.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20170219104612-00195-ip-10-171-10-108.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.940006 | 11,481 |
Girls…I signed a lease to a new storefront
on yesterday morning!!! I am so excited
about it. Now this time around I will only
be doing services by appointment only.
Because I am going to continue to travel
with L'Oreal and other clients I don't want
to get stuck at the store and limit myself.
Now I don't have a set date to open. I
have a lot of booked days that @ don't
have a lot of time to shop like I would
like. I still have to schedule going down
to city hall to get new permits. I have to
schedule lights, phone and etc to be
turned on. I need to order new checks
and all the things it takes to open. Maybe
this way I won't stress out because I
am not given myself a deadline. I am so
at the point in my life that I don't let
all of that simple shit stress me out
anymore. I am just grateful that I am able
So stay tune to see how things go…this
is so MAJOR!!

Mother says medical marijuana has helped son, 12
Son with autism suffers from psychotic episodes
A Windham mother wants people to know how medical marijuana has helped her 12-year-old son.
Stephanie Lay said her son is autistic and suffers from psychotic episodes.
Lay said the changes she's seen in her son, Bryce, over the past few weeks have been nothing short of remarkable.
Medical marijuana users no longer have to register with the state so we don't know how many minors are using it, but Lay said marijuana and the synthetic drug Marinol, are the treatments that have helped her son the most.
Lay said she has holes in the wall of her house that Bryce made during one of his psychotic fits.
"It hurts. It's really hard to see because you're watching your child, you're watching your child hurt himself when he doesn't know why he's hurting himself and no one can figure out why he's hurting himself," said Lay.
She said she and Bryce have struggled to deal with his health almost all of his life, trying to find a treatment that works.
"After you've been on so many anti-psychotics and they're not rectifying the behavior, then you're willing to try anything, including marijuana," said Lay.
She said at first she baked marijuana into brownies for Bryce. She said he dramatically improved and the side effects were minimal.
How she gives him Marinol, an FDA-approved drug. She wants people to know that medical marijuana isn't just something that can help adults.
"Because if this is helping him, it could help a lot of other children," Lay said.
Dr. Dustin Sulak is the one who certified Bryce to use marijuana to help heal his head from an injury he inflicted on himself, and to keep him calm.
"We used to be told during the 'Just Say No' campaign that cannabis killed brain cells. But now that we know that it actually protects brain cells and actually stimulates the growth of new brain cells," said Sulak.
Gordon Smith of the Maine Medical Association, said experts told his organization that marijuana is a gateway drug so his association is concerned about pre-teens using it.
"We think that would be alarming to most people. Now, having said that, I don't contest that, in any number of conditions, that it might be helpful. That's really between the patient and the physician," said Smith.
Sulak said Bryce is not the youngest person he's certified to use medical marijuana. That patient, he said, was a 2-year-old cancer patient. | <urn:uuid:b2fe7431-bfdb-4628-b73f-ba32f56f65e3> | CC-MAIN-2017-51 | http://www.wmtw.com/article/mother-says-medical-marijuana-has-helped-son-12/1995091 | 2017-12-17T23:30:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-51/segments/1512948599156.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20171217230057-20171218012057-00593.warc.gz | en | 0.99075 | 537 |
The really good assisted living facilities are usually full and have a wait list. This is why I get so excited when a I find out that two of my favorites have openings. Trust me, these won't last long!
Both of these communities do a great job of taking care of their residents and both have memory care facilities attached to them. This is good in case the situation changes and you need a higher level of care.
Most people however can live the rest of their days in an Assisted Living Community without the need to transition to skilled nursing or memory care. With assistance 24/7 your loved one will get the care they need and deserve.
Contact me if you want to see these communities or if you would like to explore more options. | <urn:uuid:d0552f87-510b-45bb-be95-c1b72c1bc74a> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | http://www.kathrynwatson.com/reviews-senior-care/finding-a-good-assisted-living-in-west-houston-can-sometimes-be-a-challenge | 2021-03-03T05:52:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178365454.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20210303042832-20210303072832-00135.warc.gz | en | 0.973255 | 152 |
Finally, the excuse you were looking for to hit the bottle: Researchers from Sirtris Pharmaceuticals this week announced that a derivative of an ingredient in red wine may help reverse the signs of aging!
The ingredient in question is resveratol, a naturally occurring substance in wine, that stimulates a gene known as SIRT1. In previous studies, the SIRT1 gene has been found to increase the lifespan of rodents, but this is the first study to test the theory in humans.
For the study, researchers assigned 67 diabetic patients to receive doses of a proprietary form of the resveratol drug known as SRT501 in either 2,500 or 5,000 milligram (huge amounts) liquid doses. At the end of the 28 day study period, the researchers reported that SRT501 “significantly reduced blood sugar in 67 diabetic patients as compared with a placebo group.” In addition to the positive outcomes, the groups experienced no adverse effects.
Commenting on the high doses needed for the drug to produce significant results, the researchers noted that resveratol was not a very potent molecule. They say, however, that the drug appeared to be five times easier for the body to use than naturally occurring resveratol (so I guess drinking ourselves into oblivion isn’t going to stave off the Grim Reaper after all!) With that being said, they are currently testing other compounds – some of which are 1,000 times more potent than resveratol – to better stimulate the SIRT1 gene.

Rece Davis is almost universally liked among his peers and by sports fans. He’s one of EPSN’s anchors in college football and basketball coverage, and he has tremendous hair. Davis is an advisory board member for the Capital One Cup, and late last month he carved out 15 minutes to talk to The Big Lead. (We spoke prior to his Orange Bowl encounter with Jim Harbaugh.) Davis really enjoyed talking about Alabama (where he went to school), College Basketball Gameday vs. College Football Gameday, and to a lesser extent, the upcoming ESPN Book. He’s bullish on Lou Holtz’s chances in a Steel Cage match against Corso and Vitale.
Q: You’re a big-time BCS guy, and you’re not into the playoff. Is there a reason?
I wouldn’t say that. I just don’t think it is as evil and bad as everyone thinks. Without the BCS, we don’t have Alabama-Texas, we don’t have Texas-USC, we don’t have Florida-Ohio State. I think if you’re going to bash the BCS – which is fine – you also have to admit that it gave us these great, compelling inter-sectional matchups.
I know a lot of people aren’t as old as I am – I just turned 45 – but I can remember the days when you had teams ranked 1, 2, 3 playing in different bowls. I just think the BCS does some positive things. I’m not opposed to a playoff. I’m opposed to a big playoff like 16 teams, which I think is ridiculous for football. If you want to do 8 teams, that would be great, I don’t have any problem like that.
Some criticism of the BCS is legit. There have certainly been flaws over the years, but I think to say everything about the BCS is bad is the wrong way to go.
Q: So how and why did you get into Journalism? Were your parents in the media?
I came from a very middle class background. I always loved sports. When my talent ran out in high school – I played football and basketball – and I couldn’t play anymore, I still wanted to stay in sports. I did some radio work at the end of high school and in college in Tuscaloosa. After college I worked my way up through local television and I was fortunate enough to land a job with ESPN in 1995.
I had always been fascinated by the broadcast of games. I was that kid who was lying on the floor at 5 or 6 years old listening to every game I could possibly find. I would scour the newspaper and go through box scores. I was a freshman in high school and wrote a paper on being a sportscaster. That’s what I wanted to do.
Q: You went to the University of Alabama, and your favorite Tide football player of all-time is …
Ooooo. There are some many great ones. But I think the guys from your earliest memories are the ones that fascinate you the most. I would say my favorite was the first wishbone QB at Alabama, Terry Davis. When Bear Bryant changed the wishbone and USC didn’t know it, Terry Davis was the QB that night. It was the first college game I can remember, and he became my favorite player. There are some other guys who I got to know over the years, like Cornelius Bennett, and Derrick Thomas, but the memories from your childhood are the ones that stick, so I’d go with Terry Davis.
Q: No Keith McCants? Not sure if you saw the news that he was arrested in a strip club parking lot recently.
I did not see that. But let’s put it this way – Keith has not taken advantage of his opportunities over the years.
Q: I tried to hit up some of my ESPN sources for any good sources about you, but everyone says you’re a clean cut guy. The coolest thing I heard was that you nearly coached a Little League baseball team into the Little League World Series.
Not exactly. My son – and you always brag about your kid – is a very good baseball player, and when his group was 10 years old, they won the State championship. But at the time – this was 2-3 years ago – that was the end for 10-year-olds. This past year, the group was 12, and we thought we had a good shot at the Little League World Series.
It went well, except that we had a single elimination tournament, and a team that we had already beaten in pool play upset us. We got denied our dream of a trip to Williamsport.
Q: Non-sports question … your hair always seems impeccably groomed. What product are you using?
[Laughter] Usually I use this stuff called TG Bedhead. It’s gooey. You just rub it in your hands and rub it in you’re hair and you’re good to go. It’s not exactly a Steve Lavin oil slick.
Q: Who wins in a steel cage match – Dick Vitale, Lee Corso, or Lou Holtz?
[Laughter] They’re all scrappy. They’re all tougher than you would imagine. They would also resort to dirtier tricks than you could imagine. I’d have to give the edge to Holtz. He’s just relentless. If you’ve seen that courtroom bit we do, we never know who is going to win and Lou is never kidding when he talks about getting mad if he loses. He want to win it every week. I think in a fight with those three guys, Holtz would eventually make the other two tap out.
Q: My favorite sport is probably college basketball, and I attempt to watch Gameday as often as possible in January and February. It’s a successful show, but it hasn’t quite been able to duplicate the College Football version. Can it? Or is that not even the goal?
I think we all recognize that it’s different. And I especially recognize it since I am covering both sports. I understand the difference and the perception of the regular seasons. Everything in basketball is geared toward making the tournament. From there, you readjust your goals to winning it all or making the Sweet 16 or whatever might be feasible for you.
In football, every regular season game can alter what happens in your postseason life. One stumble – Ohio State, Wisconsin or Stanford this year – and it keeps you from being able to compete for a championship. I think because of that, and other factors, there isn’t the same urgency about any regular season game in basketball that you will find about most regular season games in football. It doesn’t make football better, it just makes it different.
Because of that, I don’t think they’re trying to do the exact same thing as football. Our personalities are different, our sport is different, and our backdrop is different. Most of the places we’ve been, the atmosphere and energy in the arena has been exceptional. We had about 22,000 people in Lexington!
Q: ESPN’s college basketball coverage is overflowing with analysts who used to be former coaches. And sometimes, I feel like the coaches/analysts don’t go after underperforming college basketball coaches as hard as they should. The word “apologists” might be too strong, but … do you think former coaches at ESPN are maybe looking out for their old friends?
I don’t agree with it. I think all of our guys understand what their job is and that they’re fair. Everyone’s opinion, in any walk of life, is influenced by your frame of reference. Nobody is going to understand what a coach who is on the proverbial ‘hot seat’ – what challenges a guy might face, or hurdles he might encounter – better than guys who have been in that situation.
Sometimes, people mistake – let me put this the right way – mistake fairness for a lack of venom and going after them. We live in a culture right now where every reaction is instantaneous. I think the reaction is more vitriolic because you can get it out of your system immediately and put it on any web page or message board or wherever you choose to express yourself. And you get it out and it feels good and you’re over it. And it’s out there.
When you’re on TV, I think you have to be more measured. I think our coaches understand the ups and downs of a season and a career and sometimes might have a better understanding of why a team or a guy is struggling. All of them will tell you that if you don’t win, you’re going to get fired. They’re going to get fired regardless of what our analysts say. I think [our analysts] are uniquely qualified to be fair.
I don’t think our guys have shied away from being critical of coaches who deserve it.
Q: I’ll wrap up with a question about the ESPN book. Is there panic in Bristol? Were you interviewed?
I was interviewed. I spent a great deal of time with the writer of the book in the ESPN Cafeteria. To be honest, I haven’t given [the book] a lot of thought, and I’m not nervous about anything. I don’t know of anything I’ve done that would embarrass me or my family. Same goes for the guys I work closest with. But I guess it’s normal to be apprehensive when someone else is telling a story and you’re not exactly sure what their perspective is or what info they might have been given. The gentleman I spoke with … his questions were very fair. | <urn:uuid:2c51aa86-5459-4d1b-90ee-fbdbcaea5c70> | CC-MAIN-2018-09 | http://thebiglead.com/2011/01/07/10-questions-with-espns-rece-davis/ | 2018-02-23T04:38:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-09/segments/1518891814393.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20180223035527-20180223055527-00474.warc.gz | en | 0.982247 | 2,088 |

Where does the Sushi Go? It goes in my mouth!
I don’t know, I haven’t ever had sushi. Why isn’t there a game called Pizza Go? I know where pizza goes.
Yeah, I don’t know anything about nigiri or wasabi but what I do know is that the visuals on Sushi Go are some of the most adorable depictions of sentient food that I have ever seen. Their cheerfulness hides the fact that you are selecting them for their death by mastication. It’s a bit grim when you think about it, I guess. Perhaps best not to. Just admire the charming aesthetics. Don’t think about what it means. Don’t question it. Don’t argue. Ignorance is strength. Close your eyes. Shhhh. Shhhh. It’ll all be over soon.
Sushi Go is a tremendously simple card-drafting and set collection game. It’s so simple that you can plop it down in front of almost anyone and they’ll be cheerfully playing it within seconds. Everyone gets a handful of cards. They pick a card, they play a card, and they pass their remaining hand on to the left. Everyone does that until all the cards are gone, and then you add up the scores. At two hundred words into this review, I can already feel myself running out of meaningful things to say. That’s really all there is to it.
So, bye I guess!
Okay, no – sorry, but no. Let’s do the Meeple Like Us thing and drill down a little farther. Specifically, let’s drill into why I don’t like it very much. I should say I don’t dislike it – I have few meaningful objections to Sushi Go as a gameplay experience. It just needs fattened up if it wants to keep me interested. I want to be able to wrap my arms around its expanding body and say ‘It just means there’s more of you to love’. That’s hard as the game stands, because it has all the meaningful girth of a fart in a hurricane.
Enough about my misbehaving gastro internal tract though – let’s talk Sushi. Our hand begins with delicious cards. Cards full of promise and seductive opportunity. Mouth-watering cards that we want to plop into our mouth but musn’t. We pick the juiciest morsel we have and then pass the rest of our sushi treats on to the next person. And that’s where you’ll find the meat of the game. Do you get meat in Sushi? I mean, aside from fish? I honestly don’t know. You’ll play a round of this, stuffing yourself until ready to burst. Then you’ll play another round. And then a final round. Those are your three courses, and in each of them you’re desperately trying to pluck the good stuff off the conveyor before the greedy bastards before and after you ladle it onto their plates. Do you get ladles with Sushi? Plates? God, I honestly don’t know. Does it even whiz by on a conveyor? How deep does this rabbit hole go?!
Every kind of card in Sushi Go is scored differently. Some of them, such as the nigiris, are scored instantly. You just get a dollop of points for playing the card, and even more if you can play it on top of a wasabi card. Some cards are a risk – sashimi gets you a delicious and moist ten points, but only if you can get three of them in a single course. Tempura is a less enticing five points, but you only need a pair to score. Maki rolls are scored at the end of the round, and you’re in competition with everyone playing to get their points. That hand you have in front of you is full of opportunities, but remember – you’re passing it on once you’ve sampled from the menu. It’s the player upstream from you that gets the second bite.
Everyone does this, taking a card and playing it down. Sometimes you don’t play a morsel, you play chopsticks – and that’s pretty much the only way you can guarantee two mouthfuls in a single serving.
The chopsticks card allows you to defer a selection – later, you can play it back into the hand you have in exchange for two other cards. It’s a risk though. It relies on a single hand you get having two things you want, and its value diminishes with staggering rapidity. Maybe you saw two sashimi in an earlier hand. You play the chopsticks in eager anticipation. But then you see, with mounting horror, someone ahead of you pick a sashimi from that hand, and then the person before you picking another. When that hand comes back around to you those chopsticks seem like symbols of abject failure.
In the process of this adorable dining experience, each player is taking ownership of an ongoing food fight. They’re setting the lines of battle. As soon as you see someone going for something you want, it’s hard not to feel resentful. Sashimi, really? You need three of those to get the ten points. You had a hand with four sashimi. You peeled one off, and passed the other three along. The instant you pass your hand in Sushi Go is when you experience instant buyer’s remorse. You think on the path you could have taken. If sashimi is going to be so popular, maybe you should have played a wasabi? Assuming of course someone was going to pass you a decent nigiri…
Well shit. What now? Do you go for dumplings? They’re not worth much in ones or twos, but their worth gets incrementally greater the more you have. Do you want to risk it? Five dumplings is fifteen points, but if you only end up with one it’s a single point. Do you want to go for maki rolls? No-one else is doing that. Yet. But if you place it down, you’ve fired the starter pistol. First mover advantage though, maybe?
Or maybe it’s best to just play a nigiri – three points for the squid is not to be sniffed at and if someone is playing a wasabi card you’ll want to limit their scoring opportunities.
See, it’s not just about ensuring you have a nice meal – it’s about spoiling the meal everyone else is trying to have. You’re the five year old in the restaurant, shouting, crying and screaming and making everyone else’s evening horrible. Sushi Go is about hate-drafting as much as it is about set collection. It’s a balancing act, trying to earn points while doing your level best to deny them from everyone else. Along the way, you are subtly influencing the course of the meal. You passed on a hand containing three sashimi – the very act of doing so influences the decisions that everyone else will make. Paradoxically, sometimes the best decision in a time of plenty is to invest in rarer commodities.
Ka is a wheel. Its one purpose is to turn. Every time it does, it brings into your hand a diminished set of opportunities. What matters is keeping your options open so if a rare delicacy floats on by you can grab it. Don’t wait too long though, because the food is getting colder (is sushi hot?) and more stale (does that happen?) every single turn.
Seeing one of your sashimi make its way onto another player’s plate is frustrating. Yes, you knew they’d do that. No, it doesn’t make it feel better. You knew they’d take one of the three sashimi you left them, and now there’s only two. Wiser players around the table saw two competitors for sashimi and wisely decided to find nourishment elsewhere. You’ll pick up another one when it comes your way, because of course you will. You’re in too deep now. It’s YOUR sashimi. they’ll pick up the other. You never should have gone for sashimi. You were an idiot. A mad, impulsive fool. But you know, maybe there’s another one making its way to you around the conveyor? You won’t know until you’ve sampled every hand. You just better hope that if and when it comes to you that you’re in a position to grab it.
And so it goes – picking the card that works best for you, or most disadvantages your opponents. Everyone is nibbling constantly at each other’s leavings so it’s not like you can surprise anyone after everyone has sampled the full set of cards. You do the best you can with the hand you get, and that hand might have slim pickings indeed as time marches on.
At the end of the round, the scores are totaled up. Any puddings that were in play remain in the game and are only scored at the end of the meal – everything else is cleaned away and you begin the second course.
And that brings a whole fresh new potential meal in front of you. So much promise. Such delicious offerings. But which one to pick? Wasabi? What about playing a pudding? There aren’t many of those in a deck… but that tempura looks pretty enticing. Or maybe this time you’ll actually make a set of three sashimi? Neither of you got the set last time, so surely they’ll stick to less risky fare leaving that open to you? What’s the right call? What’s the best thing to do? Why won’t anyone help you, oh God? All you can do is play and hope, because you won’t know you made a mistake until the first cards are down.
Sushi Go is a pleasant enough diversion, and at around fifteen minutes of play-time it doesn’t pretend to be more than it is – a simple game anyone can enjoy without pressure or preparation. It captures much of what is good about card drafting, and doesn’t try to bolt on anything more. It’s very likable. It’s nice. And it’s also almost instantly forgettable.
Ultimately, Sushi Go is a game about probability management and little more. Aside from the chopsticks, you have very few ways to meaningfully direct your fate other than noting what cards are available and the chances your opponents will take them. Once you say goodbye to a hand, it’ll be several turns before it comes back to you and as such you’re entirely at the mercy of the drafting your opponents do. Often, they’ll pick the cards that screw you the most. So you’ve got two sashimi? Even though I have no chance of making a set, I’ll play the last one in front of me. Going for dumplings? Haha, you’re the dumpling. You’ll never see another one come your way if I have anything to do with it. Depriving others of scoring opportunities is as valid a tactic as picking up the things you actually want for yourself. That’s true of almost every card-drafting game but it’s especially pronounced in Sushi Go because of how few levers you available to influence the result.
It’s a very approachable game – you don’t need to learn much more than ‘this is how the scoring works’. That approachability though is the exact thing that keeps it tethered in the lands of ‘basically okay’. In the end, you just don’t have the ability to play with any kind of strategy or creativity. After everyone has sampled each deck once, you know exactly what’s making the rounds, and what each player is likely most interesting in going for. You can’t play hidden cards, or discard and redraw cards, or anything that would inject some additional interest into play. There aren’t any roles (except MAKI ROLLS, ha ha I’m so funny) or secret scoring conditions. There is nothing but what you see in front of you.
But let’s be honest – not every game has to offer more than, literally, what you see on the tin. This is a game that will perfectly slide into all of those secrets nooks and crannies that something like Concordia couldn’t hope to reach. If you’ve ever brought out Ticket to Ride and someone said ‘Wow, this looks complicated’ or Lost Cities only for someone to say ‘this is beyond me’, then Sushi Go is still almost certain to work. It’s thoroughly unthreatening, and fun enough for a few hands that it might be just the thing to get reluctant friends to say ‘okay, I enjoyed that – have you got anything with a bit more flavour?’. It might be the appetizer that is sufficiently delicious to make your friends hunger for more nourishing fare. | <urn:uuid:ec688a1b-26c6-4dba-aa32-71ca3c99d675> | CC-MAIN-2019-35 | https://meeplelikeus.co.uk/sushi-go-2013/ | 2019-08-26T05:07:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-35/segments/1566027330968.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20190826042816-20190826064816-00073.warc.gz | en | 0.959614 | 2,899 |

If you're a smartphone photographer and feel limited by the capabilities of your phone's camera, the iPro Lens Trio Kit ($229) is worth a look. This three-lens kit includes macro, super-wide, and telephoto lenses, and is available for the iPhone 5( at Amazon Canada)(Opens in a new window) and 5s( at Amazon Canada)(Opens in a new window), and the Samsung Galaxy S4( at Amazon Canada)(Opens in a new window). There's also a mounting clip for the add-on lenses available for all versions of the iPad and iPad mini, but iPro doesn't yet offer a case for the Galaxy S5( at Amazon Canada)(Opens in a new window), HTC One( at Amazon Canada)(Opens in a new window), or any Windows Phone. We like it a lot better than the bulky, waterproof Optrix PhotoProX lens system for a lot of reasons, including the iPro's sleeker design, bayonet mounting system, excellent image quality, and à la carte purchase options.
The case itself is sleek and made of a hard plastic material. It's black in color, and slips onto your phone in two parts; the bottom portion covers about a two thirds of the phone and slides on first. The top portion includes the lens bayonet mount and slides in from the top. When connected the case feels sturdy and is comfortable to hold. It doesn't add much bulk to the phone, but it does have two threaded sockets at each side towards the middle. The cylndrical pistol grip screws into these, so you can hold the phone steadier when capturing images. The grip has a tripod socket at its bottom, so you can use the phone with a tripod or Gorillapod, and doubles as a storage case for the lenses. It unscrews into four parts and includes a total of three bayonet mounts for lens storage.
The telephoto lens add-on doubles the effective focal length of your phone's camera. The iPhone's wide-angle 30mm lens (35mm full-frame equivalent) behaves more like a 60mm. Photographers who prefer a standard-angle field of view will reach for this one. It's the largest of the three lenses included with the Trio Kit, so sliding the phone into your pocket with it attached isn't really feasible. There's no noticeable degradation in image quality when using it; the distortion and lack of sharpness that the similar telephoto add-on in the Optrix PhotoProX( at Amazon Canada)(Opens in a new window) kit aren't evident here.
The super-wide-angle is a 0.5x design, so your 30mm lens turns into an ultra-wide 15mm optic. It's fairly small, so you can still pocket your phone with it attached (a lens cap is included to protect whichever lens you're using). I didn't notice any loss of sharpness when using this lens, but it does introduce a lot of barrel distortion. It's not quite fish-eye, but it's noticeable. Its effects are shown above on the left, with the naked iPhone 5 lens in the center, and the telephoto lens on the right, all shot from the same position.
The macro lens was, by far, my favorite of the bunch, but that's a purely personal preference. The iPhone has pretty decent close-focus capability to start with, but I was able to focus right up against items using the macro add-on and had no complaints with the image quality; I was even able to spot my reflection in a water droplet on a flower. The biggest challenge to macro photography with a smartphone is the inability to adjust the aperture to control depth of field; even with a very tiny image sensor, when you're working that close it can be tough to get as much of an image in focus as I wanted.
If those lenses aren't enough for you, you can buy a standard Wide Angle lens ($85) that broadens the field of view of your phone to match a 20mm prime, and there's a fish-eye lens ($89) if you like that effect. If you're not interested in all of the lenses in this kit, or are put off by its asking price, you can buy everything à la carte. The case sells for about $31, the macro lens sells for $39, the telephoto for $99, and the super wide is priced at $75.
The included lenses are excellent, with the distortion added by the super-wide being the only bone of contention, and the bayonet mounting system makes lens changes a lot quicker than with the screw-mount design of the Optrix PhotoProX. The real stumbling block between taking the plunge on iPro Lens Trio Kit is the price. You can get a pretty decent compact camera like the Canon PowerShot SX600 HS( at Amazon Canada)(Opens in a new window) for around $229 that can focus close, delivers better image quality than a phone (especially in low light), and sports a zoom lens for wide-angle and telephoto shooting. And since almost every new compact is shipping with Wi-Fi, transferring images over to your phone for sharing on Instagram or Twitter is quick and easy. But if you're against getting a separate camera and don't want to spend too much, you can always just buy the case and a single lens to get started.
Another concern is compatibility when upgrading your phone; Apple didn't change the physical design of the iPhone 5 when it released the 5s, but the ultra-popular Samsung Galaxy S5 has been out for a couple of months now and there's no case option available for it. But if you feel that you're going to have your current phone for some time, and you're not interested in carrying a compact camera in addition to it, the iPro lens system is worth consideration. It doesn't disappoint from an optical perspective, and it does make your phone's camera a more versatile tool.
The iPro Lens Trio Kit includes three smartphone add-on lenses, but it costs as much as a camera. You can buy the lenses separately if you're put off by the sticker price.

Spring brings a fresh mind, creativity, new routines and sometimes a little chaos. It is the season of rebirth and permission to let go. Spring (Vernal) Equinox, on 22 September, is one of two moments in the year when the Sun is exactly above the Equator and day and night are of equal length. It is also the moment when either of the two points in the sky where the Sun's annual pathway and the celestial equator intersect.
Change of season is an opportunity to transition to a new way of being. Heading into spring, the sun rises earlier, the earth feels active, winter has nourished the soil and now it’s time for growth. Spring is often viewed as a time of creating, cleansing and renewal. How can we be in harmony with the season? This spring, in the crazy year that has been 2020, may feel a little different for most of us, how can we stay in tune with the rhythm of the change of seasons? We will be sharing our favourite rituals and activities over the next few weeks on our Journal, if you would like to read please join our mailing list. | <urn:uuid:3bae4dcb-1225-45c7-9ca1-4508fc1572c3> | CC-MAIN-2022-49 | https://www.happysociety.store/blogs/news/seasons-change-and-so-do-we | 2022-12-02T19:11:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-49/segments/1669446710916.40/warc/CC-MAIN-20221202183117-20221202213117-00852.warc.gz | en | 0.955567 | 232 |

If you are planning for your holiday to Sabah, why not consider going to Garama Proboscis Monkey sanctuary in Kuala Penyu? This is a trip that your entire family will enjoy as you will be cruising down the river for close to 2 hours where you can see the wildlife creatures that live in the wetlands. Remember to bring your binocular along as the elusive Proboscis Monkeys will not come near you unlike the silver leaf monkeys. You can only observed them from a distance.
There are many tour agents in Kota Kinabalu that offer this half a day river cruise at Garama. The cost is approximately RM180-RM200 per adult and RM150-RM180 per child.
The monkeys looking for food near the rest area. You can get some bananas to feed them. However, this is not the Proboscis Monkey that you are looking for.
The tour usually starts in the afternoon where you will depart Kota Kinabalu towards Beaufort. The entire journey takes approximately 2 hours to reach Garama river. Along the journey, you will be able to enjoy the rural scenery where the lush greenery abound.
Once you arrived, you will walk on the elevated platform to go to the rest area for your tea break. After the tea break at approximately 4pm, your Garama Borneo Adventure begins..
The Garama River Cruise Borneo Adventure began, 8 of us in a motorised boat.
As you cruise along the river, you will be able to see some of the wildlife such as lizard and birds. As you continue to observe the trees, you will soon discover some long nosed monkeys with long tails and big bellies jumping around from tree to tree. A little bit more information about them...
The Proboscis Monkeys are endangered species and are found only in the island of Borneo where Sabah, Sarawak, Brunei and Kalimantan are located. They live in some coastal areas of Borneo, one of which is Garama at Kuala Penyu.
Their scientific name is Nasalis Larvatus and the locals called them Long Nosed Monkey. They are reddish brown in colour and are arboreal(live on trees).
The main trait of the monkeys is that the males have long and large protruding nose and are much bigger than the females. The male can be as long as 72cm with a 75 cm tail and a weight of 24kg.
The female is smaller with a length of 60 cm and a weight of 12kg. Their tails are used for balancing purposes and are as long as their bodies.
Proboscis Monkeys resting on top of a tree.
They have large bellies as their digestive system is divided into several parts. Their diet is highly specialised in that they only take trees of young leaves, starchy fruits and seeds. The food taken is fermented in the bellies which is the reason why their bellies are bloated up.
They will not be able to survive in captivity due to this reason hence you will not be able to see them in zoo.
They usually live in groups of 10 to 32 near the mangrove forests where fresh water and lowland rain forest abound. As they are "shy" animals, they will avoid human settlements.
Another shot of the Long Nosed Monkey.
As your river cruise comes to an end, you will experience the beautiful sunset on the clean river sanctuary. Some water buffalo may be spotted bathing along the river. Local dinner will be served as you reach the rest area. Enjoy the sound of the insects and beautiful forest as you dine.
After your dinner, try to go near the mangrove trees near the river bank and you may be able to see the fireflies that flicker in harmony.
This Garama Borneo Adventure will indeed be an evening well spent. You will want to come back for more..

INSIGHTS INTO THE DAILY DAF
Rosh Kollel: Rabbi Mordecai Kornfeld
OPINIONS: The Gemara lists eighteen days on which every person recites the entire Hallel, even when he prays in private: eight days of Sukos, eight days of Chanukah, the first day of Pesach, and Shavuos. In Chutz la'Aretz, the individual recites the entire Hallel on twenty-one days (because of the additional three days of Yom Tov of Pesach, Sukos, and Shavuos).
Does the Gemara mean that there is no obligation for an individual to recite Hallel at all on other days, or does the Gemara mean that only on these days does one recite the entire Hallel, while on the other days one recites an abridged Hallel?
(a) TOSFOS (DH Shemonah Asar Yamim) writes that on the other festival days, Hallel is not recited at all. This is apparent from the Gemara's question (10b) when it asks that we should recite Hallel on Rosh Chodesh. This implies that Hallel is not recited on Rosh Chodesh at all.
Tosfos cites additional proof from the Gemara in Ta'anis (28b). The Gemara there states that when Rav went to Bavel, he heard the people reciting Hallel. He intended to stop them, since one is not supposed to say Hallel on Rosh Chodesh. However, when he heard them skipping parts and not saying the full Hallel, he realized that they must merely have a custom (as is the custom today) to recite an abridged Hallel on Rosh Chodesh. It is clear from the Gemara there that Rav maintained that Hallel is not said at all on Rosh Chodesh.
Tosfos concludes that reciting an abridged Hallel on all other days is simply a custom (and it is not an enactment of the Rabanan). (According to this approach, on the last day of Pesach, which is a Yom Tov and the day on which Keri'as Yam Suf occurred, there is no obligation to recite Hallel at all.)
(b) The RAN in Shabbos (11b of the pages of the Rif) quotes the RAMBAN who maintains that the Rabanan instituted that just as one must recite the full Hallel on these eighteen days, one must recite the abridged Hallel on the other days of Pesach, since those days are called "Mo'ed." This is supported by the Gemara in Berachos (14a) which discusses the "days on which an individual does not finish Hallel" as a matter of fact. The Gemara there continues with additional Halachic discussion of this topic (such as when one may interrupt his recitation of the abridged Hallel), indicating that reciting the abridged Hallel is not merely a custom but is a Halachah instituted by the Rabanan. The Ramban adds, however, that the Gemara in Berachos is referring only to the Hallel recited on the other days of Pesach. He agrees with Tosfos that the abridged Hallel recited on Rosh Chodesh is a custom, as is apparent from the Gemara in Ta'anis.
The MAGID MISHNEH (Hilchos Chanukah 3:7) records the opinion of the Ramban, but he says that none of the commentators agree with his approach.
The CHIDUSHIM U'VI'URIM points out that one of the problems with the Ramban's approach is the fact that the Gemara makes no mention of reciting Hallel, even as a custom, on the other days of Pesach, in contrast to Rosh Chodesh for which such a custom is mentioned. It is a very novel approach to suggest that the recitation of the abridged Hallel on the other days of Pesach was a Halachah instituted at the same time as the enactment to recite the full Hallel. (Y. MONTROSE)
QUESTION: The Gemara (end of 10a) asks why we recite Hallel only on the first day of Pesach, while we recite Hallel on all of the days of Sukos. The Gemara answers that since each day of Sukos has a different Korban, each day is considered a separate Yom Tov in some respect and warrants the recitation of Hallel. The days of Pesach, in contrast, all have the same Korbanos, and thus Hallel is recited only on the first day.
The TAZ (OC 490:3) offers a different reason based on the Midrash (Yalkut Shimoni, end of Mishlei 2:960; Pesikta d'Rav Kahana, end of #29). The Midrash relates that the angels wanted to sing joyfully at Keri'as Yam Suf when the Jews were saved and the Egyptians drowned. Hash-m said to them, "The works of My hands are drowning in the sea and you wish to recite Shirah?!" Therefore, we do not recite Shirah (Hallel) during the rest of Pesach. (See .)
Why does the Midrash give a different reason than that of the Gemara?
ANSWER: There are two basic reasons for reciting Hallel. The first reason for reciting Hallel is to praise Hash-m on His festival days. (See RAMBAN, Shoresh Rishon, who understands that reciting Hallel is part of the Mitzvah of Simchas Yom Tov.) The second reason for reciting Hallel is to commemorate a miraculous salvation from danger.
The Gemara here is asking why we do not recite Hallel on all of the days of Pesach because of the first reason mentioned above: since each day is a Mo'ed, and part of the joy of Yom Tov is to recite Hallel. why do we not recite Hallel on all of the days of Pesach? The Gemara answers that the ensuing days of Pesach are not considered independent Mo'adim, as is evident from the fact that each day does not have its own unique Korban (as does each day of Sukos).
The Midrash is addressing a different question: why do we not recite Hallel on the last day of Pesach because of the miraculous salvation (Keri'as Yam Suf) that occurred on that day (the second reason mentioned above)? The Midrash answers that since some of Hash-m's creations were destroyed by this miracle, it is not fitting to recite Hallel to commemorate such a salvation.
QUESTION: Rav Nachman explains that the reason why we do not recite Hallel on Purim is that the reading of the Megilah constitutes Hallel. The ME'IRI (Megilah 14a, DH Davar) infers from Rav Nachman's reasoning that if a person has no Megilah on Purim, he should recite Hallel.
The RAMBAM (Hilchos Megilah 3:6) records the reasoning of Rav Nachman as the Halachah. Therefore, according to the Me'iri, in a place where there is no Megilah one indeed should recite Hallel on Purim. However, the SHULCHAN ARUCH (OC 693:3) rules that we do not recite Hallel on Purim and he mentions no exceptions. Why does he not record this exception?
ANSWER: RAV YITZCHAK HUTNER zt'l (Pachad Yitzchak, Purim #33) offers a novel approach to explain why the Poskim do not mention the Me'iri's ruling. He explains that Rav Nachman means that just as there are two types of miracles -- a Nes Nigleh (a revealed, obvious miracle) and a Nes Nistar (a concealed, hidden miracle), there are two types of Hallel. For a Nes Nigleh, we recite Hallel in its normal form. However, to commemorate a Nes Nistar, we praise Hash-m with a "hidden" form of Hallel. In the case of Purim, when our salvation came about through a Nes Nistar, we praise Hash-m through the reading of the Megilah, a concealed form of Hallel. Therefore, even when we do not have a Megilah on Purim, we still should not recite the normal Hallel.
(The SHA'AREI TESHUVAH (OC 693:3) suggests that one should recite Hallel without a blessing in the absence of a Megilah on Purim.)
QUESTION: Raban Shimon ben Gamliel relates that the waters of the Shilo'ach spring originally flowed as narrow as an Isar. The king demanded that the outlet be widened to increase the flow. The waters, however, diminished their flow instead of increasing it. The king commanded that the Shilo'ach spring be returned to its previous state, and the waters once again flowed freely.
What is the significance of this incident?
ANSWER: The MAHARSHA explains this incident based on the Gemara in Kerisus (5b) which teaches the Halachah that a new Jewish king must be anointed near a spring (the Gemara there gives the Shilo'ach as an example) in order to symbolize that his sovereignty should be continuous just as the flow of the waters of a spring. Raban Shimon ben Gamliel relates that the king sought to widen the flow of the Shilo'ach in order to increase the good omen that the river signified for him. When the waters diminished, he ordered that the flow be returned to its original state so that the diminished waters not be an inauspicious omen for him. This served as a lesson to the king that humility will lend his reign more durability than any other effort that the king might exert. | <urn:uuid:06186d36-364d-4675-b881-070a59cfc414> | CC-MAIN-2017-51 | http://www.dafyomi.co.il/erchin/insites/er-dt-010.htm | 2017-12-11T05:56:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-51/segments/1512948512208.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20171211052406-20171211072406-00714.warc.gz | en | 0.931812 | 2,142 |

Which one did you have a hard time recognizing immediately? How about the Jets? Is that a plane landing on a football? If you squint, you can see an angry lineman about to kick your butt.

Does it make sense to buy a timeshare? Negative opinions are easy to find, and there’s little doubt that high-pressure sales pitches may lead to some bad decisions.
Nevertheless, millions of Americans own timeshares. Surveys indicate that purchasers tend to be well educated, with comfortable incomes. Can so many capable and accomplished people all be wasting their money?
The answer to these questions is that timeshares can’t be crammed into a single basket and treated as a universal good or bad deal. There are an infinite number of buying opportunities, with enormous variations from one arrangement to the next. If you look at a timeshare as a big-ticket purchase rather than as an investment, and if you read the terms of the agreement carefully before making any commitment, you might decide to add a timeshare to your vacation plans. Or you might not.
Old and new
Buying a timeshare essentially means prepaying for lodging on future vacations. Originally, buyers had a fixed destination.
Example 1: Mel and Lana King bought a timeshare many years ago for $15,000. This entitled them to a two-week stay at Resort A, in Room B, at a set time period each year. This sort of arrangement might work well if the Kings wish to spend the same two weeks at the beach every year. If they change their mind, the Kings might be able to rent the room and collect a fee (depending on the contract terms); alternatively, they could let friends or relatives use their slot.
As you can see, such arrangements lack flexibility. The Kings’ circumstances might change, and the same yearly vacation plan might lose appeal. Thus, timeshare companies have sought ways to bring choice into the timeshare experience. Now, many deals involve points, rather than some sort of room swap.
Example 2: Jim and Hope Grant put $25,000 into a timeshare last year. Instead of the right to use a specific room, they purchased an annual allotment of 200 “points” in a hotel chain’s timeshare network. Each year, they can use those 200 points to stay at a vacation destination listed at 200 points on the network. One year, the Grants’ 200 points might cover two weeks in a typical resort guest room; the next year, the same 200 points could allow the Grants to stay for one week in a luxurious suite with a beautiful view. And so on.
Pros and cons
Timeshare enthusiasts express many reasons to make this choice. You’re guaranteed a place to stay on vacation, perhaps an extremely desirable one, without having to purchase and maintain a second home year-round. In a far-flung network, you might have access to some splendid vacation opportunities. Having a timeshare may force even the most dedicated workaholics to spend some time sailing or skiing. Moreover, as the timeshare promoters might say, you could be paying for tomorrow’s vacations at today’s prices.
Among their drawbacks, the financial benefits of timeshares are uncertain, to say the least. You’ll have a substantial upfront outlay, far more than the cost of vacation lodging for a year or two. If you make a partial initial payment, the seller probably will offer financing, but the interest charges might be steep. You’ll also have annual maintenance fees to pay, and perhaps some extra costs for using certain features of the plan.
Moreover, timeshares may have little or no resale value. Indeed, one strategy is to acquire a timeshare on a growing online secondary market, for a fraction of the initial price. You’ll have to pay future maintenance fees, though.
Proceed with caution
Ultimately, you should approach a timeshare as you’d evaluate any major outlay. Don’t make a snap decision, especially after hearing a persuasive sales pitch. Read the contract carefully and get answers to any questions that arise. Crunch the numbers.
Example 3: In example 2, the Grants pay $25,000 for a timeshare; each year they can use 200 points for vacations in the network. The Grants calculate that 200 points will get them around $3,000 worth of vacation lodging, at current rates. Assume the maintenance on this hypothetical timeshare is $800 a year. If so, the Grants will save $2,200 on their lodging: they’ll pay $800 maintenance instead of the $3,000 going rate.
In such a situation, it will take more than 11 years for the annual savings to justify the upfront outlay, assuming no resale value. If there were a resale value, the numbers would be much different. Our office can help you go over the numbers in a timeshare you’re considering, to help you make an informed decision. | <urn:uuid:1c78f5d6-4da3-4909-923b-df1e3dcdb5ce> | CC-MAIN-2020-16 | https://www.daviekaplan.com/blog/financial-planning/putting-your-money-into-timeshares | 2020-03-30T17:42:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-16/segments/1585370497171.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20200330150913-20200330180913-00183.warc.gz | en | 0.946357 | 1,043 |
Press Release: ICANN Taps Paul Twomey to Develop and Lead its Governmental Advisory Committee | Australian Internet Leader Brings Wealth of International Expertise to ICANN
Los Angeles, Calif. - The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), a new, non-profit, international corporation formed to oversee a select number of the Internet's core technical management functions, today announced that it has selected Dr. Paul Twomey as chairman of its Governmental Advisory Committee. An Australian government official with responsibility for information economy issues, Dr. Twomey will lead the committee charged with providing advice and counsel to ICANN on a wide-range of government-related matters.
"We are delighted to have someone of the caliber of Dr. Twomey joining our effort," said Eugenio Triana, ICANN board member and liaison to the Government Advisory Committee. "With his combination of Internet and government experience, Dr. Twomey will be invaluable in our efforts to work with leaders and nations across the globe to help ensure the continued, smooth functioning of the Internet. It is a tribute to Dr. Twomey's outstanding qualifications that the Board of Directors voted unanimously for his appointment."
Consisting of representatives of national governments, multinational governmental organizations and treaty organizations, the Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC) will act as an independent advisory body to ICANN's Board of Directors. The GAC is charged with advising ICANN on the concerns of governments, particularly where ICANN's policies interact with national laws and international agreements. The precise structure and mandate of GAC is yet to be developed. Leading this effort will be one of Dr. Twomey's main responsibilities.
Dr Twomey is currently the chief executive officer of Australia's National Office for the Information Economy (NOIE, www.noie.gov.au). The NOIE has direct responsibility for developing and coordinating strategies to address the convergence of the information economy, information technology and telecommunications issues driven by the digital revolution. Dr. Twomey is also the Australian government's Special Adviser for the Information Economy and Technology. In this capacity, he is charged with providing strategic advice to the government on developing its information economy and information technology priorities and strategies, including a National Strategy for the Information Economy (www.noie.gov.au/nationalstrategy/index.html).
"The role of the GAC is a significant element of ICANN," said Dr. Twomey, "And I acknowledge that ICANN's invitation for me to chair the GAC is a great compliment to Australia's role to date in the Internet reform process. In my position as Chairman, I will endeavour to ensure that the principles affirmed by ICANN, which are those of fairness and transparency of policy and procedure, are upheld, and that these principles are exercised to the maximum extent feasible."
About Paul Twomey
Prior to his appointment to his current role, Dr Twomey held consecutive Executive General Manager positions with the Australian Trade Commission (Austrade); first as head of strategic development, and more recently as the leader of its operations throughout Europe. He was also the leader of Austrade's Global Information Technology and Telecommunications Network, assisting Australia's IT&T firms to market their products and services to key European, American and Asian markets.
Dr Twomey has also worked as a consultant with the global management consultancy McKinsey & Company. In this role, he advised major corporations from the telecommunications, financial service and tourism sectors in Australia, the United States, Japan and Hong Kong. Dr. Twomey holds a PhD in International Relations from the University of Cambridge. He is widely published in academic and popular journals.
The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) is a new, non-profit, international corporation formed to oversee a select number of the Internet's core technical management functions. Between now and September 2000, ICANN will take over responsibility for coordinating domain name system management, IP address space allocation, protocol parameter assignment, and root server system management, a privatization called for the in U.S. Government's White Paper on the Management of the Internet Domain Name System.
In the past, many of these functions have been handled by the U.S. government, or by its contractors and volunteers. This informal structure represented the spirit and culture of the research community in which the Internet developed. However, the growing size and international importance of the Internet has necessitated the creation of a technical management body that is both more formalized in structure, and more fully reflective of the geographic diversity of the Internet community.
ICANN is a non-profit corporation with an international board of directors. Its initial board is led by interim chairman Esther Dyson, and has members drawn from several nations. This initial board is completing ICANN's by-laws and procedures and working to pave the way for a smooth and stable transition to private sector management of technical management functions. The day-to-day management of ICANN is led by its interim President and CEO, Mike Roberts. The initial board members will be succeeded by board members elected by four different constituency groups, collectively representing a broad range of the Internet's technical and user communities around the globe.=

Geoff Lachlan, Dave Sedgwick, Brian Tregaskis and Belford staff were great support on and off the hill and Dr David Syme then medical doctor to the mountain rescue committee was tremendous support in supporting trials of new kit to me and Glencoe MRT with a view to making them standard MR issues if worthy. Also no article would be complete without acknowledging the tremendous support from within BASP from Dr Ian MacLaren consultant in A/E Monklands and the late Dr John Scott London HEMS both who encouraged and trained me over the years. In particular "the doc" Ian Maclaren who was huge support and always there at the end of the phone for a debrief after a difficult resuscitation.
While this Q/A represents my own time in mountain rescue, it would be possible to interview any of the members of GMRT or indeed any MR team and compile an equal storyline of adventure and misadventure. This just happens to be mine and it is not unique. A rescue team is exactly that, a team of individuals coming together and working to help persons in distress. Everyone in a team is of value and contributes to this common goal. I would like to pay particular thanks to the two leaders of GMRT who I had the pleasure of working with in my time. In particular John Greive who took over from Hamish (big boots to fill) in the early 1990's and at a time when the team had some of the biggest searches and busiest years in its history. A leader from the front who would not shirk from the dangers of the mountains or from being an advocate for the rights of those needing help, be it their right to pursue the sport they love with freedom or their privacy if things went wrong. | <urn:uuid:7eb1939a-7f60-48a8-9475-bc4b1940ce3f> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | https://crankitupgear.blogspot.com/2019/04/ | 2021-09-18T04:08:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780056297.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20210918032926-20210918062926-00128.warc.gz | en | 0.969057 | 357 |

Ripley wore a Casio F-91W at Alien, as did Obama until he became the president of the United States. Apparently, it’s also the only branded thing Osama bin Laden ever wore in people. Thirty years after its launch, Japanese watchmaker Casio is nevertheless generating 3 million units a year, meaning it is likely you’ve at least seen when worn one too.
From the 1980s, new Casio recruits were made to attend ten times of army training prior to beginning the job. The experience likely influenced Casio’s Ryusuke Moriai when he made the F-91W, explained as”small, horizontal and easy”: that the designer had unknowingly created the ideal battle watch.
Casio’s UK marketing manager claims the company doesn’t market the F-91W as”trendy or cool”, but as”dependable and good value”. In any event, Casio’s F-Series watches, once hailed as”wearable miracles”, have appealed to rebels around the world; they are about the wrists of DJs, creatives, members of the Zapatista National Liberation Army and also French Islamic State fighters.
However, the watch is also famous for being one of Al-Qaeda’s favorite accessories: the terrorist business was even known to distribute them in training camps in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Jihadi militants appreciated the F-91W and its dozens of variations due to their resilience. Run it over with a car, smash it with a hammer, then drop it in boiling or ice-cold water — the beast holds its own. You can generally trust terrorist organisations to pick reliable accessories — and similar to Kalashnikovs and Toyota pickup trucks, the more F-91W is hardy, prolific, and economical. In addition, it can work as a crucial ingredient for bombs.
Specifically, the watch can reportedly come into play to the detonation of improvised explosive devices thanks to its long-lead timer, as NPR detailed in 2011. Ahmed Ressam, or the”Millennium Bomber”, who intended to blow up Los Angeles airport on New Years Eve in 1999, was arrested with four bombs on him — all equipped with F-91Ws.
Described as a”genius” bomb manufacturer by a former US counter-terrorism specialist, Al-Qaeda’s Ramzi Yousef was famous for utilizing the F-91W. The opinion was so commonplace that Yousef was once able to use it in order to construct a bomb in the toilet of a plane. Another former senior member of Al-Qaeda, Tariq al-Harzi apparently instructed several wannabe terrorists to build similar ignition systems. He topped the ranks of Islamic State.
A METALLIC MODEL OF THE F-91W AS WORN BY ONE MEMBER OF THE SYRIAN DEMOCRATIC FORCES, A MILITARY COALITION WHOSE MAIN GOAL IS TO COMBAT THE ISLAMIC STATE, ON THE SYRIAN FRONT IN EARLY 2019. SCREENSHOT: VICE NEWS TONIGHT
Secret files regarding the Guantanamo military detention camp printed by Wikileaks state Korean police found some 600 to 700 Casios in 2 workshops in Karachi, which just owning one could justify an interrogation. 1 prisoner’s test sheet confirms”about a third of inmates at JTF-GTMO [the device in charge of Guantanamo] that had been captured wearing one of those Casio watches had a famous significance with explosives”.
The problem is, F-91Ws are far too popular to actually incriminate a princess, unlike the old SEGA cartridge-based detonators once Directed by Al-Qaeda. One alleged Al-Qaeda manhood captured by the US pointed out this, stating,”Your own military employees also carry this watch. Does that imply they’re only terrorists as well? ″
Outside of the terrorist Earth, that the F-91 W is popular in several regular armies, including in Singapore’s military service, US AIR Force coaching camps, the British Army and the Royal Air Force. Its small charms also have appealed to modders — hobbyists who love modifying objects from their original function. 1 variant, pimped with olive oil, seemingly endured three days at a tank simulating a depth of 1000 metres. | <urn:uuid:6f116610-3e26-4b00-aec0-fdf6fc1d958d> | CC-MAIN-2021-04 | https://www.swisstimes.me/tag/casio-f-91w/ | 2021-01-18T03:22:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-04/segments/1610703514121.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20210118030549-20210118060549-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.958362 | 923 |

In their supplement to Gourmet magazine, A Guide to America’s Best Roadfood, Jane and Michael Stern cited Camp Washington Chili as a must-try while in the Great Plains.
No city in America has a higher chili consciousness than Cincinnati, and of its many dozen chili parlors, Camp Washington’s the best…
Kara Williams, contributor to Every Day with Rachael Ray magazine listed The Camp among her four famous regional chili recipes.
In a city of more than 140 chili joints, Camp Washington Chili stands out for its longevity and accessibility. The place is hopping throughout the night, when college students and factory workers line the counter.

Guide to Swim Training Equipment
A few basic tips, advice and drills
The Pull Buoy has been around for years, the original thought was that if you isolate the legs and only use the upper body then this area will become stronger, this is true. Pull Buoys can be used for a whole range of drills, skills and training types, and are a great way to break up your swim training program.
There are many different types but all of them do the same thing, if you’re a younger swimmer then make sure you use a Junior Pull Buoy an adult float will affect the position of your body and this will affect your stoke, Junior Pull Buoys are half the size of the adult float.
Again the Kick Board was originally designed to isolate the legs, this in turn will improve leg kicking power and strength, there are many ways to do this but using the Kick Board is one of the most recognised.
There are many shapes and sizes now from Sprint Kick Boards to the regular shaped Kick Board. Sprint Kick Boards are designed to maximise the speed of the swimmer during a quality kicking set.
Hand Paddles have a wide range of uses including improved strength gains in the upper body and improvements in the front end of the stroke and technique.
Again there are many different types, large, medium or small. Extra care should be taken when using Hand Paddles as they can put additional strain on the shoulders, this in turn could lead to shoulder injuries; also using hand paddles at two young an age may well just be too risky.
If you are thinking of using Hand Paddles try them in small amounts, a week on then a week off for a month or two. As you find your skill or strength improves incorporate them into your swimming training program.
If you’re a competing triathlete you may want to only use Hand Paddles in the off season, to build additional strength or skill.
Non-standard Hand Paddles
In contrast to most swimming paddles on the market the potato shaped PT Paddle is intended to reduce resistance, and hence help you improve your catch and feel for the water, rather than increase your strength by forcing you to apply more power to the water. You can get a similar effect by swimming with a clenched fist.
Many coaches talk about the importance of the 'catch', this vital first part of the stroke that is often over looked but is undoubtedly the most important part of the underwater phase. Regular use of the Finis PT paddle will aid in the development of your catch and feel for the water. Improving your feel of the water will also lower your stroke count (i.e. increase your distance per stroke) while an improved catch can help maintain your stroke rate. Swimming speed is a function of both distance per stroke and stroke rate. Use of PT paddles should also help you achieve what is known as 'early vertical forearm', which means you hand is pushing backwards and generating propulsion rather than downwards.
Finger Paddles are a great little asset to your swimming training, if you’re keen on improving the feel and catch of your stroke they can help tremendously, there very cheap to buy and once you’ve got to grips with them can be a great technique booster!
The paddles heighten stroke awareness and emphasise stroke imperfections, making it easier to identify and correct technique. Sculling with paddles is a great way to build forearm and finger strength by accentuating the entire stroke from entry to finish.
The Arm Paddle is also a great bit of swimming kit, this type of paddle will aid the front end of the front crawl stroke, and you can gain additional skill in the press phase of your stroke.
There are many types of resistance training, using resistance cords can be a great asset for any swimmer wishing to gain improvements in their swimming strength. Resistance Cords can be used to isolate a muscle group or in the case of the PowerStroke Cord give you an all over swimming workout on the land if you can’t get to the pool as often as you like. The PowerStroke Cords work in the same way as the swim bench only at half the cost!
If you’re suffering from an injury and can’t swim then Resistance Cords can be a useful tool on the road to recovery. Take some advice from a well qualified coach or sports therapist with regard to correct use.
Further training ideas for the resistance cord can be found Here
Snorkels can be used for improvements in technique and focusing on stroke development, they can also be used for kick sets helping to maintain a good body position with head down kicking sets.
Swim fins are an excellent addition to your 'toy' box. They obviously help to work on your kick strength and technique, and as an added bonus, they can improve ankle flexibility and help to loosen off tights calf muscles. They also allow you to perform a lot of drills more easily, which means you can concenrate on the skill you are learning and not just staying afloat. Combine fins with any of the drills above, with your kick sets or with things like 'finger trail' and 'Zip drills' | <urn:uuid:41b94305-35a4-4fd3-ba58-8451801f7e60> | CC-MAIN-2022-27 | http://www.tri-logiccornwall.co.uk/training/swim/training-aids/ | 2022-07-05T03:04:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-27/segments/1656104512702.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20220705022909-20220705052909-00694.warc.gz | en | 0.952241 | 1,107 |
September 12, Day 173, 3292 Miles Completed, 31 Left!
I could hear the wind in the trees and waves hitting the shore this morning. It made me less excited to get on the river early. Nevertheless I was paddling before sunrise.
With predicted north winds I crossed over to the Washington side. There were a few salmon fishermen out, but the river was much, much quieter. Ships were docked in several places.
Although there was a brisk wind when I started out it began to die down. At times the tide was helping me a little bit and at times the tide was hindering me but it didn’t make a dramatic difference either way. At times I noticed I was cruising at about 5 miles an hour so I was getting maybe 1 mile an hour gain from the current and tide, I’ll take it! I think maximum gain from current and tide since I passed Bonneville dam is about 2 miles an hour. The minimum is about -1 mph.
Several oceangoing ships passed me again today. Looking at the big wave they were pushing in front of them you would think that a poor kayaker would be swamped by them. I found however, that they threw off less of a wave then a powerboat passing nearby.
I saw at least two seals and heard one another time that I didn’t spot. There were many cormorants and a few pelicans. This close to the sea obviously most of the shore and hills are covered with trees. I couldn’t help but think back to my smokejumper days looking at some of the trees that must’ve been nearly 150 feet tall, and I was glad that I wasn’t hitting the top of one of them with the parachute.
My old smokejumper buddy Andy Anderson gave me a call unexpectedly. Neither of us realized that I had passed his home town area already. Rats!
I have Pacific fever now so I only took about three breaks and they were fairly brief. At one spot there was an enormous oceangoing ship’s anchor sitting on shore. It would be fun to know it’s history, it must be valuable as it was still in extremely good shape.
For most of the day the wind was very light, only for 45 minutes or so did I have a strong tailwind. Towards evening a side wind came up but it was not much of a factor. Wind, and thinking about wind, has been a very big part of this journey.
About 4 PM I slowly rounded a corner and got goosebumps. To the west I could see mountains and islands, and water that extended to the horizon, the Pacific ocean! What a thrill that was. It was a big surprise too. I knew I was over 30 river miles from the ocean so I didn’t think I would be able to see it so soon.
Checking out the map there were a series of islands between me and Astoria and the mouth of the river got wider and wider. I decided to follow the south shore so I wouldn’t get caught on the wrong side of the bay by a strong wind.
I had come over 40 miles and I was tuckered out. Each of the last two days I’ve also done about 40 miles. Each represented long days of paddling. When I passed an island with nice high ground with big trees, including spruce trees, I decided to camp.
There were lots of good camping spots. I dragged my kayak up the gently sloping sandy beach until it was above the high tide mark. There I tied it off to a big log.
From my tent I can take a few steps and look out across the Pacific. If the wind cooperates, I might be able to finish on Wednesday, the 14th, but not before then. It will feel good to crawl into my sleeping bag tonight. Colter
Clark: November 7th Thursday 1805… Great joy in camp we are in View of the Ocian, this great Pacific Octean which we been So long anxious to See. and the roreing or noise made by the waves brakeing on the rockey Shores (as I Suppose) may be heard distictly

-- After his team's defensive meltdown in Saturday night's 5-3 loss to Florida, Sharks coach Todd McLellan
considered shaking up his blue line. Now he has no choice.
Defenseman Douglas Murray
will miss Tuesday night's game against the Minnesota Wild
with an upper-body injury, McLellan said after the Sharks' optional morning skate at HP Pavilion. Murray missed the previous two practices and had his right hand heavily wrapped.
Murray is typically in the top pairing with Dan Boyle
. His absence will force McLellan to make multiple changes.
"They'll be all over the map," McLellan said of his defensive corps. "We'll start a certain way, and until we find something we like we'll move them around. We practiced (Monday) with some pairs that we'll likely start with. Then we'll move from there."
Based on Monday's practice, the Sharks will likely begin the game with Marc-Edouard Vlasic
paired with Boyle, Brent Burns
with Jim Vandermeer
and Jason Demers
with Colin White
. Justin Braun
, who was recalled Tuesday from Worcester, is another option. McLellan said he might dress seven defensemen against Minnesota.
"Everybody's pretty comfortable playing with everybody," Demers said. "With Cranky out, it throws a little bit of a wrinkle into things. Guys are just going to have to step up and take that role because those are big shoes to fill for sure."
If Braun is in the lineup, McLellan said he wants to "see him play his game" against Minnesota.
"What is that? He's a very good retrieval guy," McLellan said. "He goes back and gets the puck and initiates breakouts. He's got a tremendous shot and can get it through to the net. So we want to see him use that. He's a big man. He can be physical when he has to be. We sent him down after the L.A. game (Nov. 28) just to get some games under his belt. We weren't going to use him in the Montreal game (Dec. 1). So it would be another week of him watching. He was able to get three games in, which is going to polish him up a little."
With or without Murray, the Sharks know they can't afford another turnover-filled effort against Minnesota, which enters Tuesday night's game with an NHL-best 37 points. The Wild have won 14 of their past 18 games and four straight road games. In its past three road wins, Minnesota overcame two-goal deficits. The Wild have 11 wins this season after giving up the first goal.
"No, it's not the plan," Wild coach Mike Yeo
said of falling behind early. "We'd like to try getting the first goal a little more frequently. But certainly the plan is to stay with it. Regardless of whether we score or they score, we have to continue to go out and play our game shift after shift.
"We preach it all the time. It doesn't matter what the score is. It doesn't matter if we're up 3-1 or they're up 3-1 or what period we're in or how the momentum of the game has shifted. We want to go out and play our game, and we have to. Because we still haven't built it yet. I think we have a good understanding of what our game is, but as far as a group, we're still trying to create our identity. We're still trying to really forge our foundation as a team."
The Sharks and Wild will meet at HP Pavilion for the second and final time this season. San Jose beat the Wild 3-1 on Nov. 10, the Sharks' eighth win in a 10-game stretch. This time, the Sharks have lost three of their past four games, including Saturday's night's defensive debacle. Florida scored three times in the second period, taking advantage of turnovers by Boyle, Burns and White. Instead of getting their scheduled day off Sunday, the Sharks held a rugged practice.
"They're going to be hungry," Wild forward and ex-Shark Dany Heatley
said. "Lost a few so they're going to be ready to go tonight, and we're going pretty good right now. So it should be a good one."
The Wild will have Josh Harding
in net again, Yeo said. He came off the bench in Friday night's 4-2 win against New Jersey when Niklas Backstrom
suffered a minor groin injury. Harding started Sunday's 5-3 win at Anaheim. Although Backstrom took part in Tuesday morning's skate, Yeo said that Matt Hackett
would likely back up up Harding again.
Yeo said he always "looks for a reason" why his team's opponent will be at its best, but he didn't have to search hard this time.
"Certainly we're expecting a team to come out very well prepared, very hungry, very determined," Yeo said. "And on top of that, this is just a really good team that we're playing. So we're going to have to be sharp."
Wild winger Casey Wellman
certainly won't lack motivation against the Sharks. He grew up in the Bay Area and played for the San Jose Junior Sharks, occasionally taking part in youth games during intermission at Sharks games.
This will be Wellman's first NHL game at the Shark Tank and will mark the first time his parents – Jodi and Brand Wellman, a former San Francisco Giants infielder – will see him play professionally. He expects to have around 20 family members at the game.
"I'm really excited about it," said Wellman.
Wellman is one of only four active NHL players born in California and one of 27 in League history.
"People always ask me where I'm from," Wellman said. "I tell them I'm from California. They don't believe I'm a hockey player. It's great to be a part of this. I used to play at the intermission here when I was a mite. It's good to play the real thing."
Wellman will see at least one familiar face on the Sharks. He played hockey with Braun at UMass Amherst and stayed with him at his mother's house in Minnesota last summer, sleeping in a room in the basement.
"It was two rooms. The back one was his," Wellman said. "I just had a little futon in the little room before his. He actually just bought a place, so next summer we'll be moving into that thing. I've already picked out a room."
When the Sharks and Wild met earlier this season, it marked the first game between the two teams since they made three trades with each other during the offseason, including two huge deals. The Sharks sent Devin Setoguchi
to Minnesota as part of a package for Burns. They traded Heatley to the Wild for Martin Havlat
After an emotional reunion game, it's been business as usual for the ex-Sharks and ex-Wild.
"Now it's out of the way," Setoguchi said of his first game at the Shark Tank since being traded. "It's just another road game. It's always fun coming back. Hopefully this time we can get a couple points out of here."
Here are the possible lineups for Tuesday night's game between the San Jose Sharks
and Minnesota Wild
at HP Pavilion:
– Joe Thornton
– Joe Pavelski
– Logan Couture
– Martin Havlat
– Michal Handzus
– Torrey Mitchell
– Andrew Desjardins

New Delhi, Jun 30 (ILNS) The Delhi High Court today observed that Litigation is not a game of chance, while refusing to hear a petition seeking direction to publish a ‘rational document’ on Class X assessment criteria.
A two-Judge Vacation Bench, comprising Justice Manmohan and Justice Navin Chawla, however, granted permission to petitioner NGO Justice for All, to withdraw the present application, with liberty to move an application for early hearing of the writ petition before the Roster Bench.
The petition sought interim direction to all the schools affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) to upload at public domain, the rationale document for devised criteria for the assessment of students of Class X.
The Bench expressed its unhappiness that no application for any interim relief was filed in the beginning with the writ petition, and now, this application has been filed at the ‘eleventh hour’.
“Litigation is not a game of chance…..You espouse petition on genuine causes. You have to maintain very high standards, if you’re evoking public interest litigations. You can’t become an ordinary litigant,” said the Bench.
The interim application has been moved in the petition filed by Justice for All, an organisation of lawyers and social activists dedicated to the cause of common man and particularly to the rights of children relating to education and health, through Advocates Shikha Sharma and Khargesh B Jha.
The court was of the opinion that the issues raised in the plea are substantial enough and require adjudication, thereby it issued notice to the respondents.
It is averred that the Board has not yet modified its arbitrary policy of moderation of marks for Class X students based on previous performance, which is in violation of Article 21 of the Constitution.
It is further averred that the present system of evaluation lacks transparency as the students have no option to know what the base of their evaluation was. In light of the above, the petitioner organisation sought interim relief in the form of direction to the schools affiliated to the Board to publish the rationale document for devised criteria for the assessment of students of Class X on their respective websites, before calculating the result and uploading the same on the CBSE portal. It further prayed for a grievance redressal mechanism by the Board, wherein the students could raise their grievances.

It is every Christian’s responsibility to read and study the Word of God. The Apostle Paul tells Timothy, “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” This is not just advise for the early Christians, it is advise for all of us today.
The Bible is the Book of books and it has been preserved for our learning. God’s Word says, “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.” These two verses in Second Timothy tell how the Bible was written, why the Bible was written and what happens when we read it!

Brand new Boo Seeka has landed at digital retailers across the planet today and they’re hoping you might like to ‘Take A Look’.
The track’s a message of hope, of optimism and of moving forward and not looking back.
“‘Take A Look’ was a simple message to ourselves that we should have listened to a long time ago, and with it we’re excited to turn an inspiring new leaf,” the boys reveal in a statement.
That inspiring new leaf is set to comprise another new track in the not-too-distant future and, all going well, that highly anticipated sophomore album around November.
Sonically, it’s oozing with class; big, driving bass, full, luscious, echoed production and ever so sweet vocals.
It’s hard not to be impressed. Seriously impressed. | <urn:uuid:ce9dea86-7fcd-4600-8809-ea9c6b272b4a> | CC-MAIN-2020-50 | https://www.auspop.com.au/2020/05/take-a-look-at-boo-seeka/ | 2020-11-26T04:33:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-50/segments/1606141186414.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20201126030729-20201126060729-00303.warc.gz | en | 0.925682 | 186 |
You’ve heard all about…teen drama, teen angst…whatever you want to call it, you’re living it now. You know decoding a teen’s behavior and getting to the root of what’s causing the drama is difficult. Is it part of a phase? Normal behavior? Something to worry about? These are questions that all need to be answered on a case by case basis. Here are some tips to guide you along the way.
- What’s Behind the Extreme Mood Swings? Everyone gets moody, even adults. With teens, it’s important to know whether it’s just a mood swing or a sign of depression. According to the Mayo Clinic, signs of teen depression include low self-esteem, feeling hopeless or empty, and a continuous feeling that the future is bleak. If any of these describe your teen’s behavior, you may want to seek professional help.
- Why is My Teen Constantly Lying? As kids get older, lies become more complicated than just fibbing about who drew on the wall with crayon. Some lies can become dangerous. Teens usually lie to get out of trouble or to get to do something they weren’t allowed to do. To get your teen to stop lying, psychologists say you need to sit down with your teen and explain how lying affects them and those around them. For example, liars live in fear they will get caught. They can also start to feel out of control because one lie usually leads to many more.
- Why Are My Child’s Grades Dropping? Dropping grades could be a sign of trouble. Sometimes it’s just a case of needing to study more or needing extra help. Other times it’s a signal that something is going on behind the scenes. The American Academy of Pediatrics advises to first talk with your teen and see if he will divulge what is going on. You may also want to schedule a meeting with your teen’s teacher to try to determine the root of the problem.
- Why is My Teen Hanging out with the Wrong Crowd? You used to know and even like your teenager’s friends. Now you notice he’s hanging out with a different crowd, one you don’t approve of at all. It sounds simple, but sit down and ask your teen why he’s hanging out with these friends all of a sudden and what happened with the old friends. Be prepared for a defensive answer. Express your concerns. Hopefully the two of you can come to a mutual understanding.
- How Do I Protect My Teen in the Social Media World? Social media is one thing our parents didn’t have to worry about when we were growing up. It brings along a whole set of new problems for this generation. Teens are glued to their phones and all the social media apps that go along with it. While you’ll need to explain all the dangers social media can pose, it’s just as important to be tech savvy right along with them. Follow their accounts, friend them on Facebook, keep tabs on their online activity. This is not spying, it’s parenting.
While you’re deep in the teen trenches, remember this time will pass. For now, take a lot of deep breaths and parent on!

Steelcut oats take a while to cook stovetop. This mason jar method is a great timesaver and results in a consistency like soaked muesli. We topped ours with blueberries and peaches, but you could use raspberries and apples or any other combination that suits your fancy.
Place oats and chia in 1 litre mason jar; screw metal lid on and shake to combine.
Bring almond beverage, maple syrup, salt and 1 cup (250 mL) water to a boil in small saucepan; immediately pour over oat mixture. Screw lid on tightly to close. Holding jar in tea towel, shake gently to combine. Let stand on counter 10 minutes, shaking once or twice. Refrigerate for 12 hours. (Make-ahead: store in refrigerator for up to 3 days.)
Scoop oats into four bowls. Top each with an equal amount of walnuts and fruit. | <urn:uuid:72069d38-228f-4665-a6fa-cfda1088771b> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.readersdigest.ca/food/recipes/overnight-steelcut-oats-chia/ | 2021-12-01T21:07:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964360951.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20211201203843-20211201233843-00312.warc.gz | en | 0.878695 | 187 |
Fire Chief Jeffrey E. Phelps has announced he will retire from his post before a disciplinary hearing set for Monday.
Chief Phelps has been with the department for 35 years, the last 30 in command and leadership roles.
In a letter delivered Wednesday to Town Administrator Peter M. Jankowski, the chief gave notice that today will be his last day on the job.
In June, the board voted 3-2 to reverse its decision to release Chief Phelps from employment effective July 1 and negotiate a new two-year contract. Five months later, their unanswered requests for reports led board members to openly criticize the chief.
A few hours before a Dec. 20 selectmen’s meeting, when Chief Phelps was expected to face the board regarding their complaints, he delivered a letter announcing his retirement.
At the meeting, Selectman Steven P. Sullivan said he waited seven weeks for a report on a nightshift ambulance call.
Selectman Jonathan Ruda said he waited 15 weeks for a staffing report to determine department needs for possible town meeting action in October. The report, received a month after town meeting, revealed that 65 overnight ambulance shifts were understaffed during those 15 weeks.
Mr. Ruda called the deficiencies unacceptable and ridiculous, while Mr. Sullivan called for “some forward, progressive-thinking leadership.”
Because the retirement notice did not give an effective date, Chairman Paul M. Joseph scheduled an executive session for disciplinary action for Monday and a job performance review for Jan. 24.
Instead, a transition plan is on the selectmen’s agenda for Monday. The board is expected to name an interim chief and decide on the search process for a successor.
Chief Phelps could not be reached for comment. His closing comments in the letter to Mr. Jankowski were, “I wish that things could have been different. I wish you and all the Town Hall employees the best in the future.” | <urn:uuid:83efd6d9-5ca9-427f-a316-027cfea57620> | CC-MAIN-2019-43 | https://www.telegram.com/article/20101231/NEWS/12310475 | 2019-10-14T01:16:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-43/segments/1570986648481.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20191014003258-20191014030258-00103.warc.gz | en | 0.969899 | 394 |

An article about the exhibition in truro
Truro Exhibition Statement. Robert Cox 21/3/13.
Robert Cox is a committed Christian, Artist, and Teacher.
In the beginning of 2006 when he retired, he felt God was prompting him to begin work on a set of 66, A2 Linocuts; one for every chapter of Isaiah. In these uncertain days, we have a lot to learn from the mystery’s held in this hard to understand book in the Bible. Isaiah is very visual, much like the Psalms & Revelation full of Apocalyptic images He hopes the prints he has created are more than just illustrations, touching the hearts and minds of the viewer, feeding and helping the viewer to understand Gods mystery and plan for the whole of mankind through visual images.
This Exhibition consists of 28 of the 66 prints bringing out the main message of Isaiah.
Before the finished lino prints, full working drawings were done for reference from which to work.
He prints one or two colours at a time, rolling up different parts of the lino block or on other occasions using two or three blocks, overlapping and making different colours which can result in making an extra third or fourth colour.
At the beginning of every day Robert will spend time reading his Bible and praying for God’s guidance and inspiration.
He has a studio at his home and a press which he uses to print his work.
Robert was brought up in Exeter attending Exeter School of Art in the 60s gaining a Fine Art Degree then went on to Bristol University were he gained the Art Teachers Diploma, gaining a distinction in ‘the practice of teaching.’
He taught both in the state and public sector for 37 years. He ended his teaching life as head of department at Bedford Modern School. Bedford.

After a visit to the out of hours GP service (go to doc) I was still concerned enough to visit the children’s A&E dept at Central Manchester. It was late, it was cold, it was busy – but we were seen promptly by the triage nurse who really reassured our daughter (4 y/o). It was a case of better safe than sorry as she was pretty poorly and we left with antibiotics and peace of mind. Having a children’s A&E department is really important as a Saturday night at your typical A&E cab be pretty grim. Thanks for good all round care and service.
I recently attended A&E at Manchester Royal Infirmary with a stress fracture in my foot. My experience in A&E was very positive the doctor, x-ray and nursing staff were all very helpful and I was given an appointment for the fracture clinic 2 days later.
At the fracture clinic I had a very different experience. The receptionist I met was not very polite when I first went into the department which I assumed was because they were busy. After a 45 minute wait, I eventually saw the consultant. Now I am by no means clueless as I work as a staff nurse in another hospital so I had a bit of knowledge but the consultant gave me no real information and gave me no advice. As I live in a different part of the country and was only visiting Manchester, he told me I should go to them. He then told me to follow a nurse with no real explanation and I found myself in the plaster room where the nurse informed that the consultant wanted me in a cast. I found the whole experience very disorganized and very unhelpful which is a shame as I had a good experience in A&E. I understand the staff are under great pressure but it would have not taken the consultant much more time to give me a little more information.
I recently had to attend the A&E dept of Manchester Royal Infirmary after injuring my foot/ankle. I was pleasantly and politely received at Reception. I had to wait approx. 40 mins before I was seen by a nurse who promptly sent me for an x-ray. A porter was summoned to take me and he arrived within a couple of minutes. I was x-rayed immediately before returning to the main A&E department. A further wait was necessary before I was seen once more by the same nurse I’d met on arrival. We looked at my x-rays together then I had my ankle treated straight away with a dressing and bandages. In total I was in the dept. for under 2 hours. I was extremely impressed by the speed and efficiency with which I was seen, x-rayed and treated. Each and every member of staff was pleasant, sensitive and very helpful.
I had been concerned on arrival that I would have to wait hours before I was attended to as the dept. was very busy. This was not the case.
I wanted to contribute this positive experience of the hospital as so often only the bad experiences get all the publicity.
My wife was admitted to the ward and the care she received was to be quite frank, disturbing.
Firstly there were people on the ward shouting for help and asking for medication and were being ignored, one even started to choke on her own vomit while the other was showing me the bruises all over her arm from nurses not being able to take blood properly with the needles.
My wife waited 2 and a half days for a scan and was sent home without one as in the end she was so depressed she just wanted to go home as she told me she did not feel safe in the ward.
Needles were left next to her bed for several hours when nurses had forgotten about them, they also forgot to change her chart from nil by mouth to being allowed food and drink, meaning she went a whole day without eating or drinking until I arrived with food.
The nurse ignored her when she requested medication for the pain, until I arrived and she tried to kick me out and had to be notified that the only reason I had to come outside of visiting hours was to bring food and medication.
I am deeply shocked at the service and have lost trust completely in the ability of NHS practitioners to fulfill their duty of care
I attended the ENT clinic as an outpatient in May 2012 and I would like to make the following observations about my experience. It was very poorly organised. I have recent experience of Sheffiedd Hallam and the contrast is stark -the latter outstanding the former poor.
It began badly on arrival, I was given an appointment time and was seen 2 hours after my alloted time -yes 2 hours.
The system which seems not to have kept pace with modern practice is for everyone to be given the same time and then the clinicians decide at the clinic in what order patients should be seen.
Some of the elderly patients ( I appreciate much more ill than me) were distressed. There was a disabled man with his carer who was exhausted by having to sit in his wheelchair in a hot stuffy room. No-one had thought to make any reasonable adjustments for him.
I was referred for a specialist XRay and when I attended to receive the result I had to endure the same wait. Everyone in the clinic was upset and disgruntled- apparently people had come to expect this.
The Doctor who gave me the results had not read my notes and I had to tell him what the radiologist had diagnosed.
Overall a disappointing, old fashioned and poor experience.
My story began when I phoned an ambulance due to the fact I was having severe abdominal pains. I was taken to A&E where my partner’s sister was working on reception. At this point I did not know what was wrong with me, it later came clear I was pregnant. The problem was my partner was in prison and I had an affair. Anyway it worked out I was having a miscarriage which totally distressed me. I asked the doctor not to let the receptionist know my situation as I didn’t want her to know. One year after this happening my partner’s mum decided to tell me just before my partner was due home and that I tell him about what happened or that she would. My partner has now left me and I understand that but I feel like I have had my privacy invaded which makes me angry and upset. I would like to make a formal complaint but don’t know the procedure; can you please give me some advice on my situation.
I telephoned NHS Direct due to vomitting and pains in my abdomen. I was told to go to A&E.
I was seen by a nurse who wanted to do bloods and a urine sample. They needed to make sure I wasn’t pregnant.
I was told to go round to the walk in centre. After waiting over an hour I was seen by a nurse who was dismissive of me. She had “dip sticked” my urine. Examined me and said I had a kidney infection “and that’s why the pain is down one side”. The pain is down both sides and she could see this when she examined me but dismissed it.
She prescribed me “pregnancy friendly” antibiotics and said I had pregnancy symptoms so she could not rule out pregnancy. She did not take any blood samples.
She had thrown away my urine sample and needed a new one to send to the lab but I had only just give the sample so I couldn’t do another yet. I had a sample which I had done before I came to A & E, they kept asking for fresh samples. She told me to take this to my doctors for them to send to the lab. She said it would be “good practice” for them to do so.
My doctors took blood samples and sent the urine sample to the lab. No infection at all was found. A few days later they tested another sample, no infection was found. I was prescribed antibiotics for a kidney infection I didnt have.
I’m still in pain and it is still too early for a pregnancy test. I feel sometimes hospitals don’t care about their patients.
My mum has been in and out of the Manchester Royal for 4 and half years, each time has been nightmare.
They forget to give correct medication, do not pass on information to the relatives even after complaining to Pals. They have left her in her own poo, left her distressed and placed great pressure on myself. I’ve requested answers but never get them.
They make her sign forms when we have clearly told the hospital she must not sign forms unless a family member is there. There never seems to be anyone available, or if there is its is doing the drugs round and cannot speak to you. My mother was admitted again recently with dehydration and her nephrostomy was not draining. I arrived at the hospital this evening to find a doctor round her bed and was advised they had took mum down to radiology and changed her nephrostomy tube no one was informed she was having it done, so I wonder who supervised her signing forms? On getting back to the ward mums heart starting racing and they had to deal with it and do an ecg which showed it was still beating fast. I would never of forgive them if something had happened and I never got to see her. It is an absolute disgrace! Oh and last time she was in she started fitting for the 6th time, crash team were called etc etc. I asked if they would look into this to be told no as we are urology and don’t deal with things like this.
For godsake you are a hospital you’re meant to fix people not make them worse. The list is endless I could go on all night.
Stressed and starting to be ill Daughter!
I was a patient on Ward 12, the Doctors were marvelous but I am sad to say that a few of the nursing staff were rude, impatient and as one of the night staff said ” I’m only here for the money”!
I was told that my urinary catheter would be removed at midnight and despite reminding the night nurse of this it was actually removed very hurriedly at 6am and I was left lying on a wet draw sheet.
I asked for a clean sheet but was told to wait for the day staff.
I am shocked beyond words.
From February – September 2008, I had been in very bad pain. It was abdominal pain, so I went to my GP on numerous occasions, to be told that it sounds like IBS and was prescribed Mebevourine and Fybogel, but still no investigation. So September 26th 2008, I was rushed to hospital for me to have an emergency operation as my bowel had burst (peritonitis) and had to have my stomach flushed with 12 litres of water and was on life support and was then taken to the intensive care unit for 2 months. Through this I now have a stoma, and I do believe my doctor could of done a lot more, as another 2 hours I would of died. But as I am here to live the tale, I am very lucky and so are my children. | <urn:uuid:f6c2fca6-aaf5-4895-bcb9-e736fd3fdeef> | CC-MAIN-2020-45 | https://osteoplan.com/blog/category/hospital-feedback/manchester-royal-infirmary/ | 2020-10-25T05:16:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-45/segments/1603107887810.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20201025041701-20201025071701-00437.warc.gz | en | 0.99427 | 2,325 |
The Basket Building (United States)
What started out as a dream by Dave Longaberger, Founder of The Longaberger Company, has been built Home Office into a giant basket to house the entire corporate offices of the company. Dave believed the idea was one of his best and would draw attention to the company, while simultaneously helping to build our brand.The dream was achieved on December 17, 1997 when the Home Office that is designed to resemble a basket finally opened for business.
The building’s 80-foot high handles took 18 months to design and build, project manager Ken Parks said. The handles, which weigh 75 tons apiece, came in 13 pieces that were welded together at the construction site. Each has a special heating unit that prevents ice from forming and falling into a 4,500-square-foot glass ceiling below.
the windows as large as possible 16 feet wide by 6 feet high. Inside, the big basket is decorated with blue and green tiles that match the colors used in Longaberger’s decorative-pottery products
Today, the company’s 3,600 employees make about 7 million of the hardwood maple baskets a year at a factory in nearby Dresden. The baskets come in more than 80 different styles in sizes ranging from the small tea basket to the large hamper.
The Dancing House (Czech Republic)
The Dancing House is the nickname given to an office building in downtown Prague, Czech Republic. It was designed by Croatian-born Czech architect Vlado Milunic in co-operation with Canadian architect Frank Gehry on a vacant riverfront plot (where the previous building had been destroyed during the Bombing of Prague in 1945). The construction started in 1994 and was finished in 1996.
The very non-traditional design was controversial at the time. Czech president Vaclav Havel, who lived for decades next to the site, had supported it, hoping that the building would become a center of cultural activity. Originally named Fred and Ginger (after Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers – the house vaguely resembles a pair of dancers) the house stands out among the Neo-Baroque, Neo-Gothic and Art Nouveau buildings for which Prague is famous.
The Piano House (China)
It is a house that looks like a piano. You can probably see that from the picture. It also has a glass violin that houses an escalator. And it is way off the beaten tourist path. However, since its creation its hometown, Huainan, has presumably drawn a horde of classical music enthusiasts The only thing. The to-scale piano is missing is a giant Schroeder pounding away at the keys.
Kansas City Library (United States)
Kansas City Library has one seriously cool façade. Local residents were asked to nominate influential books that represent kansas city, humungous versions of the winning nominations were then used as the exterior of the library car-park.
The Robot Building-The Bank of Asia (Thailand)
The Robot Building, located in the Sathorn business district of Bangkok, Thailand, houses United Overseas Bank’s Bangkok headquarters. It was designed for the Bank of Asia by Sumet Jumsai to reflect the computerization of banking; its architecture is a reaction against neoclassical and high-tech postmodern architecture.The building’s features, such as progressively receding walls, antennae, and eyes, contribute to its robotic appearance and to its practical function. Completed in 1986, the building is one of the last examples of modern architecture in Bangkok and has garnered international critical acclaim.
The Blue Building (Netherlands)
The borough of Delfshaven, Rotterdam, asked Schildersbedrijf N&F Hijnen to come up with a plan for a block of derelict buildings, which will eventually be demolished. The agreement with the neighbourhood is that the block will remain blue as long as there isn’t a new plan for the area.
The Astra Haus (Germany)
The strange building is actually a brewery in Hamburg, Germany. The floors can move up or down on it’s skinny column core. As of now, the unique building has been destroyed. One of it’s more famous beer brands was recently bought by a big refreshment corporation. And that beer brand was called Astra.
The Crooked House (Poland)
Polish architect of the Crooked House, Szotynscy Zaleski, was inspired by the fairytale illustrations of Jan Marcin Szancer and the drawings of the Swedish artist and Sopot resident Per Dahlberg. The most photographed building in Poland, the 4,000 square meter house is located in Rezydent shopping center in Sopot, Poland.
The sam key building (canada)
The Sam Kee building is situated at 8 West Pender Street. It runs from the corner of Pender and Carral to the lane at the halfway point of the block. It is two storeys tall and 1.5 meters (six feet) deep. The story behind the building is as exotic as the structure with several intriguing twists and turns included in its telling. The City of Vancouver provided the original owner, Chang Toy, with a challenge when it expropriated all but two meters of his property as part of an expansion of Pender Street. No compensation was provided to its owner who was left with what most believed to be a useless property. In a creative turn of events fuelled by spite and some say a bet an architect was hired to design a building to fit the remaining property. The rest is history in more ways than one.
Academy of Sciences (California)
Late period architecture has broadly fallen into two distinct categories: buildings that slide seamlessly into the already existing landscape and those that stand out entirely from it. Renzo Piano’s California Academy of Sciences redesign falls into the latter. With a verdant roof, replete with its own foliage, the Golden Gate Park building hides out like a ninja, though skylights and copious large windows on the exposed façade give it light.
Upside Down House, Szymbark(Poland)
Tom Tucker’s son has an upside down face. It is both funny and tragic at the same time. Conversely, Daniel Czapiewski’s Upside Down House in Szymbark is not the least bit tragic. Though many a tornado-belt travesty sufferer or Wizard of Oz-a-phobe may cringe at images of the flipped over building, most people, including many tourists, have flocked to the strange attraction.
Ontario College of Art and Design, Toronto(Canada)
Royal Ontario Museum redesign and Frank Gehry’s absolutely stunning (stunning!) Art Gallery of Ontario redux. Before all that came an addition to the Ontario College of Art and Design (OCAD). Will Alsop’s towering structure turned OCAD into one of the most unique buldings in the world. A cow-evoking black and white box sits four-stories above the ground, set on a number of different colour pillars. At night, the box is a similarly colourful and bright. Given the building’s use, it is a fittingly strange and creative look.
Lotus Temple, New Delhi(India)
It was created in 1986, the building has 27 different pedals, all rising to mirror the flower in curvature and scale. With its proximity to water and white façade, it looks vaguely like the Sydney Opera House, though it has a markedly more symmetrical bent. While reality mirroring buildings are usually relegated to roadside attractions, this one has become a design standard bearer.
Frank Gehry’s world-renowned museum along the Nervion River is a deconstructionist marvel that employs a random collection of lines and metal to create a shockingly cohesive yet no-less sumptuous feast. It toys with perception relentlessly. Viewable from infinite angles and in countless lights, it never, ever looks the same. Strange and malleable it holds a unique place as one of the world’s most original, recognizable, and bizarre buildings.
Kunsthaus Graz (Austria)
Kunsthaus Graz, is unlike any other buildin. It houses an art gallery, though the building itself is one its most intriguing aspects. Outfitted with a range of lights and employing a variety of lines, it is as dynamic as it is original. Globular and massive, it redefined its area by adding an apropos contemporary lilt.There is a 19th century building resting under the huge structure, which makes it even weirder.
This residential complex can be found in Darmstadt, Germany. The U-shaped building is quite unique as it rises like a ramp and has grass, shrubs, flowers and trees planted on its roof. Of the 1,000 windows, no two are the same and trees grow out many of them. At the highest point, there are 12 floors. It was completed in 2000 and designed by Friedensreich Hundertwasser.
This bubble house is located in France. Architect, Antti Lovag is committed to the concept of organic architecture and thus inspired to create buildings resembling shapes and forms found in nature. A few of these bubble houses can be found along the coast of France.
Hang Nga Guesthouse: Crazy House(Vietnam)
Like a Disney animation of a Grimm’s Brothers fairy tale, a bizarre southern Vietnam hotel built by the daughter of Ho Chi Minh’s right hand man. It’s as if it was sculpted by Salvador Dali on the grounds of a classic French colonial villa. It has little bridges and oddly shaped corridors all linking together like a mini maze.
Location: Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.
Architect: Bullock Smith & Partners
Completion Date: 2006
WonderWorks began as a Top Secret facility on a remote island, in the middle of the Bermuda Triangle.
As legend has it one experiment went awry, in an attempt to harness the power of a man-made tornado, the entire laboratory was hurtled skyward, hundreds of miles away, it landed upside down in the heart of Pigeon Forge TN.
When you enter the building, everything will be upside down, so in order to participate in the fun, you must be inverted. Once you’re properly aligned for your adventure, Family Fun awaits with more than 120 interactive, hands-on exhibits. As the Building hurtled skyward it encountered what can only be described as a time portal.

There has been much talk about the health care debate and what is happening at town hall meetings all over this nation. Much has been made of the impropriety of the citizens that have shown up to voice their concerns and opinions. I was going to type out some drivel about how important participation is to our republic, but Professor Victor Davis Hanson has written better than I ever could hope to.
Yes, some of the criticisms and questions have been voiced in a raucous or even rude manner. So what? Sometimes that’s what it takes to get a politician’s attention and get him to take you seriously. And that has ever been the way with public, democratic discussion, going back to ancient
, and evident in American history from the beginning. Politics involves beliefs and values that lie at the core of people’s identities, and when these beliefs collide, as they must in a large, variegated nation such as ours, sometimes the spectacle can become unpleasant. Nor does the passion expressed necessarily mean the opinion is irrational. But that unpleasantness and conflict are the price we pay for the right publicly to “speak truth to power,” and the opportunity to challenge our leaders and hold them accountable to the people in whom political power ultimately resides. Civility and decorum would be nice, but not at the expense of getting at the truth and holding our leaders’ feet to the fire when policies of such great import (and expense) are being proposed.

5 Easy Ways to Improve Your Home Insulation
Did you know you might be able to save $200 to $400 a year on your annual heating costs? Heating a home can use 45% of a homeowner’s average energy consumption, so losing heat to leaking ducts and uninsulated spaces get expensive. According to the EPA, homeowners can save an average of 15% on heating and cooling costs by adding insulation to existing homes.
Read on to learn five easy ways to improve your home insulation.
1. Install Loose Fill in Attic
Loose-fill insulation contains particles of blown fiberglass, cellulose, or mineral wool. It can fill any area, even irregularly shaped spaces, and flow around obstructions. Rent a machine from your local hardware store to install it yourself, or hire a contractor to do a professional job.
2. Blow Loose Fill into Walls
Although you might think that heat escapes mostly through the ceiling, it can actually leak out in all directions, including walls and floors. Hire a professional to blow insulation into existing wall spaces to create a blanket of warmth around your home. You can also have it installed in the gaps between heated and unheated areas, such as between a garage and an upstairs room.
3. Lay Out Batt Blankets or Rolls
Batt insulation, which looks like blankets or rolls of blown fiberglass, lies between attic joists to trap heat in the rooms below. Batts are both easy to install and relatively inexpensive, so you can do this project yourself.
You may be thinking about using loft boards in the attic to add storage and another layer of protection against cold. If you install loft boards, make sure the boards are high enough that they don’t compress existing insulation, because compressing the insulation reduces its effectiveness. You also need to allow enough space between the insulation and the boards to allow for good airflow so that moisture is not trapped inside the insulation.
4. Spray Foam
Spray foam can be applied to almost any crevice or cavity and expands to fill existing space. Use it to add insulation inside existing finished areas. Spray foam insulation can also be used to seal gaps that allow hot air to escape, such as around light fixtures or window sills.
5. Insulate Ducts
If your heating ducts leak, or if they pass through unheated areas, you may be losing as much as 60% of your heated air before it even reaches the register. This makes duct repair one of the best ways to insulate your house.
Tackle leaking ducts by sealing small gaps with mastic, which works better and lasts longer than duct tape. Insulate ducts against extreme temperature differences by wrapping them in batt insulation, or covering them with preformed duct insulation that slides over the ducts.
Choose the Right Home Insulation
If you want to feel warmer inside your home, or you want to save money on heating costs, you have several options for home insulation. Whether you install batts as a DIY project, or hire someone to blow insulation into hard-to-reach areas, or simply seal leaks with spray foam, you can find ways to stop your home from losing heat. You’ll increase your comfort while reducing your bills.

Democrats take aim at court conservatives
Democrats hope to turn the upcoming Supreme Court confirmation hearings into a referendum of sorts on controversial recent decisions by the Roberts court — portraying the conservative majority as a judicial Goliath trampling the rights of average Americans.
As President Barack Obama mulls possible replacements for retiring Justice John Paul Stevens, the administration and congressional aides are gravitating toward a strategy that goes beyond the goals of a run-of-the-mill confirmation fight – to define a corporations-vs.-the-common-man battle between Democrats and the high court.
In addition to building a defensive perimeter around Obama’s pick — whoever that may be — Democrats will use the hearings to attack what they view as a dangerous strain of conservative judicial activism espoused by Chief Justice John Roberts and Associate Justices Samuel Alito, Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas.
“I don’t think people are going to tell the nominee, ‘It is terrible what the Roberts court has done — what are you going to do to reverse it?’” said Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), laying out the argument to POLITICO on Monday.
“But I think what people are going to do is say, ‘Do you share our concern about the fact that the court always seems to side with the big corporate interests against the average American?’” he added. “I think there’s going to be more of the public realizing they really do have a stake in who’s on the Supreme Court.”
Obama himself laid the groundwork for the strategy during the State of the Union speech in February, when he stunned Roberts and Alito by sharply criticizing their 5-to-4 decision in Citizens United v. FEC, which loosened McCain-Feingold restrictions on corporate contributions to campaigns.
“The justice [Obama] appoints will be a pivotal voice on this court on issues like, for example, the one we just saw, Citizens United, where the court ruled that corporations have the same First Amendment rights as individuals and they basically sanctioned a corporate takeover of our elections,” said Obama senior adviser David Axelrod, speaking on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” program Monday.
“Massive new spending by corporations — these kinds of decisions affect people’s lives. And the justice he appoints will be there for a generation,” added Axelrod.
Still, administration officials suggested Obama won’t seek to balance the court by tapping a controversial liberal.
Instead, the White House is emphasizing a candidate’s temperament, hoping to pick a “confirmable” candidate who shares Stevens’s personal charm and gifts of persuasion — which sometimes helped him win over swing voter Anthony Kennedy.
“The president will weigh heavily the ability of a nominee to build a consensus and win over a majority of his or her colleagues to counterbalance the increasingly ideological manner in which the business of the Supreme Court is conducted,” said an administration official, speaking on condition of anonymity.
Leahy told POLITICO that he has been consulting with Obama's team for weeks about the possibility of Stevens stepping down – and he informed the president about Stevens's intention to retire in mid-January, after meeting with the 89-year-old justice in Stevens’s personal office inside the Supreme Court.
Senate Republicans have vowed to scrutinize Obama’s pick — and have refused to rule out a filibuster if the candidate is outside the “mainstream,” according to Alabama Sen.

Just started my own low tech tank. I've got a Fluval Edge 12G and I love it.
The tank seems to be doing well.
It's still a work in progress as I'm still yet to lay down plenty more moss on the front in order to create a carpet.
Any suggestions would be more than welcome!
Ps, You can check out my journal for this tank. It's called 'My Rainforest Creek - Fluval 12g'. I've seen a few of you put a link in your signature.

What is your teaching philosophy?
My philosophy on teaching is that it is always a two-way street. The teacher has to learn as much as the student; that's how they know they are doing their job.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
I would introduce myself and try to get to know more about their hobbies, goals and what they want to get out the sessions.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
I would always explain my reasoning and ask them to explain theirs. Sometimes saying things out loud helps people realize what they don't know. I would also give them the tools and knowledge to seek out answers effectively.
How would you help a student stay motivated?
I would point to the progress they've made since they started, and let them know that it will get easier once they get to know their learning style and get accustomed to their learning pace.
If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?
I would change the way I am presenting the information to them. People learn in different ways, and I would make sure that I am covering all the bases.
How do you help students who are struggling with reading comprehension?
I ask them to read aloud and tell me what they understood sentence by sentence. Sometimes the issue is just about expanding vocabulary, and sometimes it's about misunderstanding the tone or syntax. We will get to the bottom of it by breaking it down. | <urn:uuid:5812c0de-691f-41ec-9c5c-968de6ae6cae> | CC-MAIN-2017-04 | http://www.varsitytutors.com/tutors/878256284 | 2017-01-17T03:02:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-04/segments/1484560279410.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20170116095119-00001-ip-10-171-10-70.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.966616 | 574 |
I have a group of servers running Syncthing and am writing some scripts for monitoring and controlling the group. I found most of the functionality I was looking for except the ability to pause individual folders via the API. From what I have been able to gather from other posts and feature requests is that this was never fully implemented for the API after the capability was added to the GUI.
My question is how can I pause/un-pause individual folders via the REST API or some other CLI method that can be automated? If I have to get/set the whole config I can do that if someone would point me in the right direction.
Folder pausing is handled differently, for reasons… You need to do full a config POST with a
"paused": true in the folder object.
Ok, so my process would look like:
-Parse results and find the folder(s) I am interested in
-Append “paused”: true to folder
-Restart Syncthing Service?
I was disappointed that the documentation mentioned that a restart of Syncthing is required to apply the updated config, I understand how that is a good idea in general for any config changes but my original idea was to pause a folder without interrupting the rest of the service.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. It isn’t quite as simple as I was hoping, but I think I can make it work.
I don’t think pause requires a restart. There is very little left these days that requires a restart
Restart isn’t necessary. I’m doing exactly that on my Android to disable certain folders when I’m not connected to my home Wifi.
Wouldn’t it be consistent to have the same pause/resume endpoints for folders as with devices? For backwards compatibility, maybe call them pauseFolder/resumeFolder and keep pause/resume for devices. This should be trivial to add. Any reasons not to?
There was a discussion of this in the PR. I think the executive summary is that we got tired of discussing it and left an API overhaul for another day.
My Syncthing Tray also provides a small CLI application called
syncthingctl which can pause/un-pause individual folders.
syncthingctl pause --dir docs-fh --dir docs-misc --dev martchus-server
will pause the directories docs-fh and docs-misc and the device martchus-server.
Of course it is also possible to resume. Internally it is using the approach @calmh described.
Due to the lack of documentation about this inconsistency I had to ask the same question when developing the tool just to be sure I didn’t miss anything. | <urn:uuid:946ae452-7068-477a-98dd-d4c34c079847> | CC-MAIN-2022-49 | https://forum.syncthing.net/t/rest-api-rest-system-pause-folder-functionality-does-it-exist-or-how-to-implement/10000 | 2022-11-27T07:38:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-49/segments/1669446710218.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20221127073607-20221127103607-00760.warc.gz | en | 0.938401 | 599 |

Firstly, no matter which style or colour blind you choose they all provide 100% light block out if hung correctly.
Blacking out all the light in your child’s bedroom helps to produce melatonin and simply makes sleep easier. It also helps to prevent children waking before Mum and Dad are ready!! Black out blinds are highly recommended by Sleep Consultants to create a snoozy sleep environment for your baby, child, or whole family.
They can be hung either way on your window and they can be cut to size with no hemming required (no fray material).
Everything required to hang the easynight blinds is included in the kits.
TRAVEL - includes suction cups & removable frame fasteners for home or travel
HOME -includes removable frame fasteners only
What is the difference between the EasyNight and the EasyBlackout Blinds?
The EasyBlackout Blinds are a heavier material and suitable to hang via removable Frame Fasteners in all sizes but only suitable in the smaller sizes to use with suction cups. The whole backing of the blind is Velcro friendly meaning there is no need to line up Velcro strips. Simply press the blind against the removable frame fasteners or suctions cups to hang. The backing of the blinds (the side facing the outside of your house) is white, making it suitable for Body Corp rules. Available in Cream, White or Black with a white backing.
The EasyNight Blinds have a silver backing to reflect the heat (not suitable for all Body Corp rules). The soft Velcro pads are attached to the silver side of the blind to correspond with the removable fasteners placed on the window frames. They are a much lighter material making them suitable for travel and to hang via the suction cups or removable frame fasteners for all sizes.
Our blinds can be cut to size (No fray material) and more than one blind can be used to black out a large window. Extra suction cups and frame fasteners are available for separate purchase if you intend to cut your blind to fit two windows

Criticism of Muppets
Gainor and Eric Bolling of Fox News Business jointly criticized the new Muppets movie for allegedly promoting a liberal political agenda. The plot of the movie involves the muppets trying to prevent their theater being torn down by an oil tycoon named Tex Richman. Gainor believes the movie deliberately portrays oil industry as villainous. He argued that the muppets movie, along with many other Hollywood films, ignores "what oil means for most people, which is fuel to light a hospital or heat your home or maybe fuel an ambulance to get you to a hospital if you need that. They don’t want to tell that story."
Gainor then proceeded to claim that Hollywood is brainwashing America's children: "“This is what they're teaching our kids. You wonder why we've got a bunch of Occupy Wall Street people walking all around the country: They've been indoctrinated, literally, for years by this kind of stuff. Whether it was 'Captain Planet' or Nickelodeon's ‘Big Green Help,’ or ‘The Day After Tomorrow,’ the Al Gore-influenced movie, all of that is what they're teaching, is that corporations are bad, the oil industry is bad, and ultimately what they're telling kids is what they told you in the movie ‘The Matrix:’ that mankind is a virus on poor, old Mother Earth.”
Critics of Gainor's comments noted that environmentalism was never actually mentioned in the Muppets movie.
Criticism of the Center for Media and Democracy's BanksterUSA.org
On December 11, 2011, Gainor insinuated a connection between a letter bomb recently sent to the CEO of Deutsche Bank in Frankfurt, Germany, and CMD's BanksterUSA.org project. He commented on Fox News, "The website www.Banksterusa.org, for example, claims it wants 'to be your go-to site for updates on the financial services re-regulation fight in Congress and for progressive net-roots campaigning against the big boys on Wall Street.' It all appears fairly benign, except that the logo for the site is riddled with about three dozen bullet holes." CMD's Mary Bottari wrote in response, "While I am Italian, I doubt very much that Italian anarchists are getting their inspiration from our little site, which at the moment features a Smithsonian Magazine profile of Ferdinand Pecora and which has been documenting the financial crisis for the past two years."
It goes on to remind readers that "BanksterUSA.org is 'part of the Center for Media and Democracy,' funded to the tune of $200,000 by the Open Society Institute, the charity arm of lefty investor George Soros. Apparently, some Wall Street money is OK, even for crusading progressives." Bottari responded, "Gainor falsely claimed BanksterUSA is funded by George Soros' Open Society Institute even though CMD has noted on PRWatch that its grant is for the national security and surveillance research of CMD's Executive Director, Lisa Graves, who has testified before Congress on such issues."

Bursae (two or more bursa) are small, fluid-filled sacs that cushion the bones, tendons and muscles surrounding your joints. They contain a lubricating fluid that reduces friction, allowing tissues in the body to glide past each other smoothly. Imagine the bursa as a protective layer that helps keep a tendon or muscle from fraying or getting aggravated as it eases over a bone or around a corner. Bursitis is a condition that occurs when a bursa becomes inflamed: irritated, red and filled with more fluid than normal.
Bursitis can develop for several reasons, including repetitively engaging in the same motion, or example, lifting objects above your head for work. Putting a lot of pressure on a bursa for an extended period of time. Leaning on your elbows or kneeling (for example, to lay carpet) can cause bursitis in the elbows or knees. If you sit for long periods of time, especially on hard surfaces, you may develop bursitis in your hip. Wearing shoes with a stiff back that rubs against the back of the ankle can cause Achilles tendon bursitis. Trauma. The bursae at the knee and elbow are close to the surface of the skin, and if you fall directly on your elbow or the knee, you can rupture, injure or puncture a bursa. Infection. Known as septic bursitis, it?s the result of bacteria infecting a bursa. It can occur from an infection traveling from another site or following an accident that ruptures the bursa. Even scraping the skin on your elbow or getting a mosquito bite that breaks the skin near the olecranon bursa (near the elbow) can lead to bursitis. Other joint disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and gout, or health conditions.
Posterior heel pain is the chief complaint in individuals with calcaneal bursitis. Patients may report limping caused by the posterior heel pain. Some individuals may also report an obvious swelling (eg, a pump bump, a term that presumably comes from the swelling's association with high-heeled shoes or pumps). The condition may be unilateral or bilateral. Symptoms are often worse when the patient first begins an activity after rest.
Diagnosis is first by clinical suspicion of symptoms. This can be mistaken for gout or infection especially in the big toe region. A diagnosis of bursitis is usually used in combination of the underlying cause, for instance a bunion deformity, Haglund's deformity, or Heel Spur Syndrome. Many times the cause needs to be addressed to rid the problem of bursitis.
Non Surgical Treatment
Treatment consists of anti-inflammatory therapy with the use of ice, short term non steroidal therapy including ibuprofen and naproxen and selective use of cortisone injections. Cortisone injections have been shown to be a highly effective anti-inflammatory measure for relieving foot and ankle pain. Care must always be taken by the physician to insure that the injection is administered into the bursal sac and not the Achilles tendon which can cause tendon injury. Treatment also consists of the use of heel lifts or the temporary use of a shoe with a low heel. The heel lift decreases the mechanical load on the Achilles tendon. Gentle stretching of the Achilles tendon, the possible use of a splint that is worn at night as well as physical therapy as directed by your physician can be employed. Temporary activity limitations for fitness must be incorporated into the treatment plan. Any weight bearing activity for exercise that actively lifts your heel off of the ground including running, walking stair stepper will interfere with effective conservative care. Low impact activity including biking and pool tend to be safe exercises during your recovery.
Surgery to remove the damaged bursa may be performed in extreme cases. If the bursitis is caused by an infection, then additional treatment is needed. Septic bursitis is caused by the presence of a pus-forming organism, usually staphylococcus aureus. This is confirmed by examining a sample of the fluid in the bursa and requires treatment with antibiotics taken by mouth, injected into a muscle or into a vein (intravenously). The bursa will also need to be drained by needle two or three times over the first week of treatment. When a patient has such a serious infection, there may be underlying causes. There could be undiscovered diabetes, or an inefficient immune system caused by human immunodeficiency virus infection (HIV). | <urn:uuid:10e1c7f0-3879-4cb6-b51e-c72b8f644f8c> | CC-MAIN-2019-04 | http://raguellandi.weebly.com/blog/bursitis-in-the-foot | 2019-01-20T01:19:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-04/segments/1547583688396.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20190120001524-20190120023524-00220.warc.gz | en | 0.929619 | 947 |

Bush Backs Partial Stem Cell Funding
Friday, August 10, 2001
President Bush last night announced the federal government will begin to pay for a limited amount of research on stem cells from human embryos, a politically charged decision that will move taxpayer money slowly into a controversial but promising field of medical inquiry.
In his first presidential address to the American people, Bush said federal grants may be used to conduct studies solely on stem cells that have been harvested from embryos left over at fertility clinics. But he prohibited subsidies of research that involved the creation or destruction of additional embryos.
The decision, which could be overridden by Congress, represents essentially the most restrictive use of federal money the administration could have permitted short of a ban.
Saying the decision placed him at a "difficult moral intersection," Bush, an opponent of abortion, told a television audience last night that research on stem cells "offers both great promise and great peril, so I have decided we must proceed with great care."
Far from resolving the controversy over the government's role in stem cell research, the president's decision is likely to prompt a fresh round of debate over science and morality on Capitol Hill as proponents of the research seek even more funding and opponents try to eliminate all subsidies.
By allowing even partial funding of research involving stem cells, Bush infuriated some conservatives who viewed any subsidies as a betrayal because the research involves the destruction of embryos, which they view as potential life. He drew measured praise from scientists, who were relieved that he had not forbidden federal funding in a field they say could lead to cures for many diseases. But they cautioned that Bush's limitations meant research would now move at a relatively slow pace.
The White House's strategy of disclosing the decision during an 11-minute prime-time speech -- with a backdrop of the Texas prairie that Bush considers home -- reflects the immense political stakes that a question of science policy has taken on for the administration and the Republican Party. The announcement's prominence is particularly striking because -- apart from his first speech to Congress on his budget priorities in February -- Bush has never given a televised address on issues such as tax cuts, education or other central goals of his young presidency.
In recent weeks, Bush's aides have been eager to demonstrate his personal agonizing over whether to permit government subsidies of this type of research. The issue has elicited an outpouring of conflicting advice to Bush from researchers, ethicists, politicians, lobbying groups and the famous -- including former first lady Nancy Reagan and the pope. Even the president's most senior advisers have been divided. The president is said to have spent a portion of every working day on the issue for the past two months.
Last night, the president shared details of his decision-making process, describing "heartfelt letters" he received from ordinary Americans, as well as conflicting advice he collected from experts in various fields. "I have given this issue a great deal of thought, prayer and considerable reflection," he said. "And I have found widespread disagreement."
The stem cell controversy has created unusually intricate political fault lines. Public opinion polls indicate strong support for such research, even among a majority of Catholics, who are considered a crucial constituency if Bush is to win reelection in three years. Some prominent conservatives in the GOP have urged the president to allow subsidies, reasoning that the research holds the potential to reduce suffering from many diseases. But anti-abortion groups and other conservatives denounce such use of stem cells as a destruction of human life. The nation's religious community has been split.
Immediately after Bush's speech, several leading congressional Democrats criticized him for not opening the spigots of federal money wide enough. "Once again, the president has done the bare minimum in order to try and publicly posture himself with the majority of the Americans," said House Minority Leader Richard A. Gephardt (D-Mo.). "But Americans know this is not the decision that the science community needs to go forward full force."
Senate Majority Leader Thomas A. Daschle (D-S.D.) was more muted, praising Bush for "a genuine willingness to embrace the concept . . . that the federal role in steering this research is a constructive one." But he, too, said he was concerned about the limits the president placed and predicted that "the Senate will want to take action." | <urn:uuid:9301124e-c39b-42ec-9168-bc5521ef270a> | CC-MAIN-2016-07 | http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2001/08/10/AR2005033106452.html | 2016-02-08T15:33:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-07/segments/1454701153585.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20160205193913-00260-ip-10-236-182-209.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.971625 | 876 |
After carefully examining all of the companies out there in our region, all I can say is "wow" to Select Tile's huge selection of tiles and their on time delivery! I am a perfectionist and every detail was important to me when I was building my new house. Select Tile's sales crew answered my every little question and helped me with every detail. Their attention to quality eased my worries. For a stress free experience with experts in Nova Scotia, I would recommend Select Tile to anyone who is searching for flooring, marble, back-splashes you name it, they have it.

County Durham social enterprise Stanley Events, secured funding from a national programme to give community programmes a boost.
We received £10,000 from the Community Business Trade Up Programme – designed to help early-stage businesses grow.
Securing this backing for Stanley Events is important and already showing benefit, as we have been able to significantly increase employee hours and stage more events in Stanley. We applied for the scheme because we thought it would make a difference to our community – which is exactly why Stanley Events was created.
Originally, Stanley Events grew out of demand for a summer festival. Seven years later and we organise countless summer fun days and music events, as well as the fireworks display which brings 10,000 families into Stanley every year.
The town has a great community spirit and we were able to harness that and turn it into something brilliant. The funding will make a huge difference and will create the potential for more jobs and more events, which can only be a good thing for the future of the town.
As the firm has grown, we have recognised the need to recruit more staff, launching the Stanley Events training programme in 2014. It has delivered training for over 300 local people, helping many long-term unemployed residents find work.
The Community Business Trade Up programme is supported by ‘Power to Change’ and ‘School for Social Entrepreneurs (SSE)’, which allocates funds for businesses with ambitious growth plans that work for the benefit of their communities.
As well as the funding, Stanley Events is benefitting from 12 days of expert support and advice centred around developing its income.
Stanley Events now has over 60 casual event and SIA staff, alongside directors, a manager, leisure staff and community volunteers.
Stanley Events isn’t a one-man band. Its success is down to a team of dedicated hard-working people behind the scenes, who share my passion for Stanley. | <urn:uuid:d5c061e5-620d-4032-8cf2-366d4923b4d8> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://stanleyevents.co.uk/2018/05/social-support-for-stanley-secured/ | 2020-08-04T08:39:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439735867.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20200804073038-20200804103038-00205.warc.gz | en | 0.966759 | 392 |

‘No doubt in my mind Hydroxychloriquine is very effective’ against COVID-19: Palmer.
By Sky News
Billionaire Clive Palmer says the reason he bought 32 million doses of hydroxychloroquine to combat coronavirus is because if Australia was going to be severely hit by the virus he “didn’t want to see our nation destroyed in the longer term”.
Mr Palmer acquired in March 32.9 million doses of the anti-malarial drug for treating Australians “free of charge” according to Sky News host Alan Jones.
On April 2 Federal Health Minister Greg Hunt announced the drug will be made available to doctors to prescribe patients of COVID-19 in hospitals if they choose to do so.
The drug has been is being trailled to determine its efficacy in treating COVID-19, but the results so far have been inconclusive.
Mr Palmer told Sky News he is “a person that had the means, capability, and contacts to get the drugs” which is why he funded the entire project, as well as donating $11 million to fund clinical trials of the drug on coronavirus patients.
Given the drug has a shelf life of three to four years, Mr Palmer said he thought Australia “needed to make sure that we could survive regardless of what happened, and that’s why I did it”.

Linux Journal Contents #158, June 2007
This month's issue concentrates on languages, even to the point of metaprogramming concepts where you write programs that write programs! PHP programmers will appreciate some help on how best to validate email addresses. Sun's Simon Phipps explains the move to GPL Java, and defends Sun's motives for protecting Java from corruption as long as was necessary. We'll teach you how to access databases asynchronously from Qt 4.x, which is a big improvement over default Qt 4.x database handling.
As always, there's much more. We'll take a look at the compact but powerful lua, a language so flexible even Blizzard uses it to allow players to extend World of Warcraft. And Christof Wittig is back with Ted Neward to explain the impedence mismatch between object-oriented languages and relational databases.

I know I was right in the middle of sharing the saga of making a wedding cake…but then I remembered what time of year it is. That’s right. Thanksgiving is coming.
And during the weeks leading up to Thanksgiving, I like to focus on delicious side dishes and breads and pies…because let’s face it: vegetarians often get short shrift on Thanksgiving. When the big day is all about a big bird, and half of your relatives can’t live without bacon in their stuffing, sometimes the bountiful table in front of you doesn’t quite translate into a feast.
(I should, however, offer some thanks to my own relatives, who are super gracious to me even though I am the lone veggie in their meat-loving midst.)
Because Thanksgiving is fast approaching, and I, like many of you, am scouring recipes and cookbooks for the perfect things to bring to the table, I definitely want to share some easy meatless side dishes with you! That way, on Thanksgiving, no matter what your palate prefers, you can do what my family always does: LOAD UP.
I was so excited to be assigned the Hobo Kitchen for this month’s Secret Recipe Club challenge! Usually I have no trouble deciding on a recipe to feature for the SRC swaps, but this month, I was so torn between various Indian curries, some intriguing Bahamian specialties (hey, if you are curious about Bahamian cooking, Ellie grew up in the Bahamas, and she has made it her mission to catalog some of the classics from her childhood), and a seriously huge amount of sweets. Ellie has such a yummy variety of recipes, I agonized for days over what to choose.
In the end, I actually tested three different side dishes in honor of Thanksgiving, and these simple roasted mushrooms won my heart instantly. They were aromatic, juicy, and savory; they actually reminded me a little bit of scampi, which I love! In short, they were amazing.
This recipe requires about 5 minutes of work, which is ideal if you are in the middle of making a dinner to share—whether it is as grand as Thanksgiving or as simple as a weeknight meal with your family.
Simply brush the dirt off of your mushrooms. If there are any particularly large caps, cut them in half so they will roast evenly. (Actually, next time I will probably quarter all but the very smallest of the mushrooms, because I really prefer a smaller mouthful.)
Combine the mushrooms in a large bowl with garlic, capers, salt, and black pepper. Toss with a hearty splash of olive oil.
Turn the garlicky mushrooms out into a 9″ square baking dish (or, in my case, two smaller gratin dishes). Top the mushrooms with cubes of butter. I used salted butter, because salt accentuates the flavor of garlic beautifully, but you could go with unsalted if you want to season the mushrooms more heavily. (Or, if you are vegan or lactose intolerant, simply increase the amount of olive oil proportionally and add an extra pinch of salt for a vegan side dish!)
Roast the mushrooms for 25–30 minutes, stirring partway through. The mushrooms will brown deeply, release all their juices, and become very tender. And I must say, the capers give off this sweet-tangy scent while they are roasting, and it’s fairly heavenly!
Once the mushrooms come out of the oven, squeeze a lemon over them and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley. Go as wild with the lemon as you like, but I really recommend using restraint with the parsley! Parsley is so grassy, and it could easily overpower the earthy-sweet roasted mushrooms.
Garlic Butter Roasted Mushrooms
lightly adapted from The Hobo Kitchen
1 lb. cremini mushrooms, brushed clean and cut into bite-size pieces
4 large cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp. capers, drained
salt and black pepper
2 tbsp. olive oil
2 tbsp. butter, cubed
1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp. chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Preheat oven to 450°.
Toss the mushrooms with the minced garlic, capers, seasonings, and oil. Transfer to a 9″ square baking dish. Distribute butter cubes over top.
Roast the mushrooms for 25–30 minutes, stirring once halfway, until the mushrooms become very tender and release their liquid.
Sprinkle with lemon juice and parsley and serve immediately.

Three years ago, China’s Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) introduced a simplified merger review procedure to reduce the review time for transactions that do not pose significant competitive or industrial policy concerns in China. Nevertheless, parties seeking to benefit from the simplified procedure must remain wary, as MOFCOM has become increasingly vigilant in exercising its authority as a gatekeeper to the process.
Without question, the simplified procedure has successfully reduced clearance times for many transactions. Upon notification, all merger control filings in China (whether simplified or ordinary) must go through an initial “completeness” review that takes between four to eight weeks. The substantive review begins only after MOFCOM deems the filing “complete” by formally accepting the case. Under the ordinary procedure, MOFCOM’s review routinely takes three to five months from acceptance, even in cases with no competition issues. (For cases with serious concerns, the review can take more than a year.) By contrast, under the simplified procedure, the review period after formal acceptance averages less than 30 calendar days.
As discussed in previous memoranda,1 transactions should be eligible for the simplified procedure where the combined shares of all parties in a horizontal overlap market are less than 15 percent or, where there is a vertical relationship or where the parties are active in “neighboring” markets, the parties have a share of less than 25 percent in each market. In addition, the simplified procedure may also be available where the acquisition target or joint venture does not engage in economic activities in China.2
Notwithstanding these bright-line rules, however, MOFCOM retains plenary discretion as to whether to accept a case into the simplified procedure. Indeed, recent experience demonstrates that MOFCOM is becoming more stringent on the use of the simplified procedure in the following circumstances, even where the rules for acceptance appear to be met.
The Target Has High Shares in an Unrelated Market
Parties without material overlaps or vertical relationships may nonetheless still find themselves under the ordinary review procedure if either party individually has relatively high shares (over 25 percent), even in an apparently unrelated market. In addition, parties with relatively high shares in “neighboring” markets may also fall afoul of the simplified procedure requirements. While the precise definition of a “neighboring” market has not been made completely clear,3 MOFCOM appears to take the position that any inputs that end up in the same “finished product” constitute a relevant neighboring product market. This broad definition may encompass not only complementary products but also those products purchased by the same customers for the same ultimate end use.
The Target Operates in a Sensitive Industry
Where the transaction may impact a strategically important industry in China — such as semiconductors, agriculture, petrochemicals and other natural resources, and more — MOFCOM may be unwilling to accept the case under the simple procedure. Moreover, at any stage of the simplified review procedure, if MOFCOM receives complaints from third parties, such as from national and government stakeholders (e.g., the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology or Ministry of Agriculture), industry trade associations, or important Chinese competitors, customers or suppliers, MOFCOM may direct the case to be dropped from the simplified review procedure, as happened in both Mead Johnson/Reckitt and Hitachi Metals/Beijing Zhong Ke San Huan High-Tech. In both cases, the parties had to refile under the ordinary procedure due to alleged third-party complaints. While refiling does not necessarily reset the review clock back to zero, the process introduces delays to the process. Indeed, Hitachi Metals/Beijing Zhong Ke San Huan High-Tech eventually took approximately nine months from acceptance to clearance.
The Target (or Proposed Joint Venture) Is Not Active in China
In certain instances where applicants have sought a simplified review based on the argument that the target or joint venture does not engage in economic activities within China, MOFCOM has asked the parties to refile under the ordinary procedure where the parties cannot definitively rule out the possibility of future economic activities in China (even if none are planned in the foreseeable future). For example, where a joint venture was established to research and develop future products that would not be commercialized for many years (if at all), MOFCOM nevertheless insisted on using the ordinary procedure, as there was no guarantee that the future products would not at some point be sold in China.
In addition to the scenarios outlined above, any applicant for the simplified procedure should also expect MOFCOM to subject the market definitions proposed by the parties and the parties’ market share estimates to a heightened level of scrutiny. Regardless of the industry or circumstances, MOFCOM will likely test all plausible alternative market definitions in evaluating acceptance into the simplified procedure, potentially applying more rigorous scrutiny than in the ordinary procedure. In addition, as in the ordinary procedure, MOFCOM may also point to China-specific characteristics to justify a narrower or broader product market definition than those commonly accepted by other antitrust regulators. Similarly, when defining the scope of the geographic market, MOFCOM will examine the range of possible market definitions, from worldwide to national and, in some cases, even to the provincial level.
Given MOFCOM’s rigorous vetting process for the simplified procedure — not all of which appears on the face of the rules or regulations — parties seeking to benefit from this expedited process should anticipate MOFCOM’s scrutiny and prepare a robust competitive analysis under all potential market definitions. While the simplified procedure has streamlined and expedited MOFCOM’s evaluation of straightforward transactions, it still carries significant uncertainty as a result of MOFCOM’s discretion. As always with regard to merger control in China, careful advance planning and consideration are a must.
1 See Skadden, “China Merger Control: New Carrots and a Bigger Stick,” (April 23, 2014); and Skadden, “China Introduces Simplified Merger Review Provisions to Improve Process” (February 25, 2014).
2 The simplified procedure may also be available in a joint venture where two or more parties have joint control, and one or more parties among them acquire sole control after the proposed concentration.
3 For example, in its August 2017 decision conditionally approving Broadcom/Brocade, MOFCOM found fiber channel host bus adapters and fiber channel storage area network switches to be neighboring products because they were “functionally interdependent,” but it did not provide meaningful elaboration.

An Elsberry woman was seriously injured Wednesday evening when she lost control of her vehicle in Lincoln County, according to a report from the Missouri State Highway Patrol. The accident occurred Nov. 6 at 6:55 p.m. on Route C east of Zigl-Migl Road.
The Patrol reported a 2002 Ford Taurus driven by Pamela Ferguson, 42, of Elsberry, was traveling east on Route C and crossed the centerline. When she overcorrected, the vehicle traveled off the right side of the roadway, overturned several times, ejecting her from the vehicle. She was not using her seat belt at the time of the accident.
Ferguson was airlifted by Air Evac Lifeteam to Mercy Hospital in Creve Coeur. | <urn:uuid:7ca379cd-5853-4b96-b0ed-b250f6d8d253> | CC-MAIN-2016-30 | http://www.lincolncountyjournal.com/woman-seriously-injured-in-accident/?wpmp_switcher=desktop | 2016-07-29T14:05:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-30/segments/1469257830091.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20160723071030-00050-ip-10-185-27-174.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.968419 | 156 |

One Master's Live In The Castle Of Quiet is a fascinating artifact providing evidence of two very select groups in the northeast. The first, and most obvious, is the close-knit Massachusetts black metal scene which is quite expansive with much incestuation. The second is a much less known, yet very important, WFMU audience which is North Jersey and New York specific (other than those that stream online, of course). Since college I have tuned in to listen to William Berger's My Castle Of Quiet radio show - some may have seen the name appear on this blog at times as well every often - and One Master's live set from his April, 25th 2013 show offers insight to the interests and musical direction of Mr. Bergers show.
The tape starts with Berger's coaxing voice. One Master initiate the live set with "The Destroyer Pts. I and II," which engage the listener with pretty clear Eastern European black metal styling. After the miasma that is the opening track, "A Cursed and Dismal Mind" offers a slower discordant doomy intro with evil guitar fragments tacked on before cutting it's life line and falling into chaos. "Intolerance" crusts right on along like a barnacled speed boat sitting low in the water churning onward fastidiously, an expected malevolence drifting across the sound plane, which we've been accustomed to and expect even by this short point along. The highlight of the tape itself is the memorable marching series of riffs which flanks the introductory cannonade. This section is decidedly Norwegian in extrapolation. A comfortable muddiness and satinesque production culminates with "Infernal Silence," an initially fast and then slower moody piece.
Live In The Castle Of Quiet is a good starting point, honestly, with regards to One Master. The material here will surely entice me to explore the band's three full lengths. With one track being from their sophomore effort, The Quiet Eye Of Eternity, and the other three having been recently released on this year's Reclusive Blasphemy, both portions of the band's earlier and more recent material is present, and the consistency supports the proposition. Both albums - and the debut, Forsaking A Dead World, are available through Eternal Death. More simply than being a good gateway to the band, One Master present to us once more a gem of black metal which emphasizes the importance that atypical recordings such as live material, radio spots, demos, and whatever other sorts of clever imagined concoctions have as fan-base building devices. A great band is able to utilize multiple canvases for their creations. For One Master, this live tape is not a canvas wasted.

Amfuel files for bankruptcy, may be closing plant
UPDATE: Speaking with Wichita Falls Mayor Stephen Santellana, he said he unintentionally "misspoke" Tuesday about Amfuel not closing its plant. After gathering further information, he said it is a strong possibility the facility will close in Wichita Falls by the end of 2017 and move all operations to Magnolia, Arkansas. He said he has not received official word from Amfuel ownership on the situation. This story will be updated as more information is made available.
Amfuel has operations in Wichita Falls and in Magnolia, Arkansas. The Wichita Falls location began in 2015, and started making products in 2016.
Wichita Falls Mayor Stephen Santellana said it is still early in the process, but they were at first assured the move was a reorganization – not a closure – of the business. Now, he said, closure of the Wichita Falls location is a strong possibility.
The Wichita Falls Economic Development Corporation will retain an attorney to protect their interests throughout this ordeal.
In August 2015, the city council approved a $2 million economic development incentive package to aid Amfuel's expansion efforts.
The company signed a lease for part of the former Delphi plant in November that year. The manufacturer began making product in 2016.
In September 2016, Amfuel announced they would close the Magnolia plant and move all operations to Wichita Falls.
At the time, only about 15 of the more than 300 Magnolia employees accepted offers to transfer to the Wichita Falls facility.
Their plan was to move 30 percent of production to the Wichita Falls plant that month and begin renewed production here in November 2016.
The long-term goal at the time was to have most the work completed in Wichita Falls and have a smaller, 100-person operation in Arkansas.
In November 2016, Amfuel named Len Annaloro its new president and CEO. He said the company’s plan to move all operations to Wichita Falls were not feasible.
His plan was to keep the Magnolia plant for the manufacture of fuel cells for a variety of aircraft. The Wichita Falls plant was to build repair cells, as well as a system to attach metal fittings to tanks.
With a growing demand for their products, he said their expected growth could be $20 million in sales and 120 employees in the Wichita Falls area – while keeping both plants open.
Annaloro said in 2016 that investors planned to spend about $3 million getting the Wichita Falls plant “up and running properly.”
According to an article in the Magnolia Reporter, documents filed in the United States Bankruptcy Court in the Northern District of Texas state Amfuel owes more than $1 million but less than $10 million to its creditors.
“The debtor has taken steps to streamline its operations and increase profitability, most significantly by expanding its operations in Wichita Falls," the document states. "...Unfortunately, the debtor has been unable to sufficiently streamlines its operations and restructure its finances outside of bankruptcy. For this reason, the debtor filed this Chapter 11 case to expedite its reorganization process."
The filing was signed by the company’s president and CEO Leonard J. Annaloro.
The document states the Wichita Falls location employed about 43 people and their Arkansas plant has about 200 employees.
An emergency motion will allow Amfuel the authority to pay wages, payroll taxes and other employee benefit claims through the date of the bankruptcy filing.
They will pay out about $233,000 to independent contractors and employees, and about $17,000 in payroll taxes. Benefits will be paid for claims filed through November.
As background information, the document states Amfuel is an Arkansas-based corporation with a principal place of business in Wichita Falls.
“The debtor has been a leader in providing aviation fuel cells for over 70 years," it states. "Fuel cells – often referred to as fuel tanks – are flexible, rubberized fuel storage bladders that provide on-board fuel storage for both fixed-wind and rotary aircraft.”
A specialized industry, there are only five companies in the U.S. that make these fuel cells in large quantities for the Department of Defense.
Amfuel has had contracts with the DOD for 70 years and makes products for the commercial aviation industry.
The bankruptcy filing will allow Amfuel to make moves to stay in business, including approval to use cash collateral for payment of business expenses. The document lists more than 52 pages of Amfuel creditors. | <urn:uuid:393f6401-a835-4b7f-a21c-4c6585a57a94> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.timesrecordnews.com/story/news/local/2017/12/05/amfuel-files-bankruptcy-but-not-closing-plant/924730001/ | 2021-10-17T20:17:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585181.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20211017175237-20211017205237-00134.warc.gz | en | 0.970309 | 916 |

Outgoing Telstra CEO Sol Trujillo today defended the progress of the company's Siebel-based IT transformation program despite long call-centre hold times and reports of frustrated employees.
The good news is the system is working fine.
Outgoing Telstra CEO Sol Trujillo
The company had migrated over 7 million consumer customers to the new Siebel-based system, Trujillo said today at the company's half-year results hearing to 31 December, but it hasn't been a problem-free move.
"As migrations peaked across systems dealing with order provisioning, customer queries and complaints were severely tested," he admitted. "If you called into mostly David Moffatt's call centres you would see that we had a high level of long hold times for not meeting the kind of metrics we would like in terms of speed of answer. But that's been part of what we expected would happen when you migrate your customers onto a whole new system."
Sales staff had been seconded from their duties to answer in-bound calls. "Now that we're on the other side of that we're going to free up more capacity for outbound and inbound on the sales side of things," Trujillo said. He hoped to combat trends such as a drop in fixed and mobile call volumes as customers have sought to manage their spend.
Carriers had been having it easy while Telstra sales staff dealt with Siebel's teething issues, Trujillo said, but he added the fight was now on. "Look out, we're coming," he said.
Yet Telstra's sales people might not be as unencumbered as Trujillo hoped. Recently the Australian Council of Trade Unions released the results of a survey which said employees felt the system was stopping them from meeting their sales targets, bringing Trujillo's sales push into question.
Trujillo didn't agree with the survey. He said that the systems were working fine and instead pointed the finger at those using them. "The issue wasn't about systems not working ... there's lots of data showing how the billing system's working, orders are being taken, processed and all of that," he said. "You go through an adjustment period. Part of it of is me as an individual learning how to use a new system versus an old system that I may have used for 10 years or 20 years."
"Part of it is that we're not finished with some of our migration of our IT platforms, so sometimes you're working between a new system and an old system and sometimes that becomes difficult for some employees to get used to in terms of their productivity, in terms of the amount of time they take to deal with the customer," he said.
"The good news is the system is working fine. It's some of the process, some of the workarounds you do as you're rolling out a system that you have to keep on unravelling or eliminating as you go forward." | <urn:uuid:ecd5e965-3d19-4f71-9936-5b93dbfc77d7> | CC-MAIN-2014-49 | http://www.zdnet.com/trujillo-defends-siebel-project-1339295182/ | 2014-11-26T17:57:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-49/segments/1416931007301.29/warc/CC-MAIN-20141125155647-00246-ip-10-235-23-156.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.98531 | 608 |
The Nicholls State University Foundation has established the Nicholls Campus Emergency Fund to assist students in times of unique needs.
As part of the response to the COVID-19 pandemic emergency, Nicholls has transitioned to online instruction and testing. With the transition to a virtual campus, nearly all faculty and staff are working remotely. For many Nicholls students, this pandemic has caused severe financial burdens not only from the ability to continue their education but also in their personal lives separate from being a student. In an effort to help support them during these challenging times, the Nicholls Campus Emergency Fund was created.
Initial funding will be used for students with unforeseen expenses. The transition to all online classes and testing has created a financial burden that many students were not prepared. Secondly, funds will be used to support Mom’s Pantry, which is a stocked cabinet open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year for any student in need of food. The pantry is located on campus to provide food to students to help bridge the gap between hunger and success. With some students only option being to remain on campus and many others losing their part time employment, being hungry should not be one of their concerns. Supporting Mom’s Pantry will provide students access to food in a safe and secure manner.
The objective of the Nicholls Campus Emergency Fund will be to assist the Nicholls Campus to make it through this current time and to maintain fundraising efforts to be prepared for similar occurrences. Additionally, services from this fund could also be used in the future to assist students in other emergency situations.
These are just a couple of examples of how a gift to the Nicholls Emergency Fund will assist students in a time of need. To make your gift, please click to Support the Nicholls Emergency Fund.
For more information about these examples or other uses on campus, please contact Jeremy T. Becker, Executive Director of Nicholls Foundation at 985-448-4006 or firstname.lastname@example.org. | <urn:uuid:39361421-4b1d-48fa-b5db-802bdb8d6360> | CC-MAIN-2021-04 | http://nichollsfoundation.org/campus-emergency-fund/ | 2021-01-26T11:47:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-04/segments/1610704799741.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20210126104721-20210126134721-00401.warc.gz | en | 0.963183 | 411 |
On the 23rd September Manchester Arena will host a WBO heavyweight title fight featuring two young unbeaten fighters. The champion Joseph Parker, 25 will travel to the Northern fight capital to pit his skills against local boy Hughie Fury, 23 in a battle of the young guns.
Both Parker and Fury have somewhat sailed under the radar in terms of their profile and the clamour for this fight, but under the bright lights Manchester’s favourite arena, one will make a big leap forward in their career and stature.
Hughie Fury has based his training camp in the picturesque setting of Lake Windemere, home to his father and respected trainer Peter Fury. A regimen of old school boxing training consisting of things like hill sprints and log chopping have made the feel of this fight a throwback to a bygone era of heavyweight boxing. Peter Fury at the helm of the in-camp activities told British Boxers that “we are taking this very seriously” a sign that the gravity of the task at hand is fully respected by the team.
Parker and Fury both share similar character traits, a quiet workman like quality, a humble nature and a less is more mentality. Parker is a seriously underrated fighter, solid wins over Takam and Ruiz showed his ability to muster up the goods when needed and in recent gym footage he has looked menacing with fierce body punching and flashy combinations.
Hughie Fury told British Boxers “Believe this, he’s not getting past me” a sign of intent and meaning from the 23-year-old. Still a baby in the game, Hughie has “only known boxing” according to his father, Peter who reminisced with us fondly about the early days, training in the south of France. After visiting the camp, the steely determination and will of the father and son team is evident. The stakes are high and both camps have invested a lot in this event.
A recent announcement by Hennessy Sports indicated a link up with online giants YouTube, who will screen the fight live on a ppv basis with prices initially set at £9.99. The announcement has divided opinion but perhaps this is the resistance to change which so many experience when it comes to the provision of big sporting events. The success of the venture is yet to be seen but one thing is not in any doubt, the fight is a finely balanced and intriguing contest between two fighters whom we have not seen in deep waters yet. For the victor, the spoils could include unification fights with the likes of Joshua and Wilder, a tantalising incentive indeed.
For UK fight fans they will finally get to see Hughie in a crunch matchup and with a shot at a title that many people feel is well deserved. In boxing there are always detractors, people who don’t appreciate the struggle fighters go through to prepare mentally and physically. Having seen it first hand I would describe camp Fury as “ready”. What it boils down to when all is said and done, is two good men fighting for the biggest prize in boxing.
British Boxers would like to take this opportunity to wish team Fury all the best.
The long anticipated WBO World Heavyweight title fight will be live at YouTube.com/ParkerFury. For fans in the UK and Republic of Ireland, the fight will be available on pay-per-view at the special early-bird price of £9.99 (UK) and €11.99 (Republic of Ireland) until midnight 17th September.* You can also watch a portion of the undercard live here at YouTube.com/ParkerFury for free.

In prior posts here and here, I noted the notable Loomis case in Wisconsin in which the defendant was contesting on due process grounds the reliance by a sentencing court on risk-assessment tools. Today the Wisconsin Supreme Court issued this lengthy opinion rejecting the defendant's constitutional challenge. The Court's extended introduction to its extended opinion is thoughtful, and includes these passages:
In 2007, the Conference of Chief Justices adopted a resolution entitled "In Support of Sentencing Practices that Promote Public Safety and Reduce Recidivism." It emphasized that the judiciary "has a vital role to play in ensuring that criminal justice systems work effectively and efficiently to protect the public by reducing recidivism and holding offenders accountable." The conference committed to "support state efforts to adopt sentencing and corrections policies and programs based on the best research evidence of practices shown to be effective in reducing recidivism."
Likewise, the American Bar Association has urged states to adopt risk assessment tools in an effort to reduce recidivism and increase public safety. It emphasized concerns relating to the incarceration of low-risk individuals, cautioning that the placement of low-risk offenders with medium and high-risk offenders may increase rather than decrease the risk of recidivism. Such exposure can lead to negative influences from higher risk offenders and actually be detrimental to the individual's efforts at rehabilitation.
Initially risk assessment tools were used only by probation and parole departments to help determine the best supervision and treatment strategies for offenders. With nationwide focus on the need to reduce recidivism and the importance of evidence-based practices, the use of such tools has now expanded to sentencing. Yet, the use of these tools at sentencing is more complex because the sentencing decision has multiple purposes, only some of which are related to recidivism reduction....
Use of a particular evidence-based risk assessment tool at sentencing is the heart of the issue we address today. This case is before the court on certification from the court of appeals. Petitioner, Eric L. Loomis, appeals the circuit court's denial of his post-conviction motion requesting a resentencing hearing.
The court of appeals certified the specific question of whether the use of a COMPAS risk assessment at sentencing "violates a defendant's right to due process, either because the proprietary nature of COMPAS prevents defendants from challenging the COMPAS assessment's scientific validity, or because COMPAS assessments take gender into account."
Loomis asserts that the circuit court's consideration of a COMPAS risk assessment at sentencing violates a defendant's right to due process. Additionally he contends that the circuit court erroneously exercised its discretion by assuming that the factual bases for the read-in charges were true.
Ultimately, we conclude that if used properly, observing the limitations and cautions set forth herein, a circuit court's consideration of a COMPAS risk assessment at sentencing does not violate a defendant's right to due process.
We determine that because the circuit court explained that its consideration of the COMPAS risk scores was supported by other independent factors, its use was not determinative in deciding whether Loomis could be supervised safely and effectively in the community. Therefore, the circuit court did not erroneously exercise its discretion. | <urn:uuid:c4dc02a1-5f39-444d-bc27-c3e1b2ee14fa> | CC-MAIN-2017-30 | http://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=11a7bdc7-5468-46f6-a5f8-992a50bb5120 | 2017-07-25T02:34:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-30/segments/1500549424960.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20170725022300-20170725042300-00076.warc.gz | en | 0.951769 | 644 |
With Cuba and the United States in discussions to reestablish diplomatic relations, American cigar lovers may soon have the opportunity to travel to Cuba and legally bring back Cuban cigars. Many of these cigar lovers will run the risk of being taken advantage of and being sold cigars of poor quality of things that are not even cigars at all. With that in mind, I thought I would put together a short Cuban cigar buying guide for my American cousins.
The first and most important rule is that if someone is selling Montecristos or Cohibas on the street, or anywhere other than an official, government owned store, they are fake. Fake can mean that they are not really authentic Montecristos or Cohibas, but some low quality, cheap cigars with a fake label. Fake can even mean that what you are buying is not cigars at all but are actually dried up leaves of some other plant like banana leaves. The reason why Montecristos and Cohibas are most likely to be fake is that they are the most recognizable to the casual cigar smoker. It would make no sense to counterfeit a cigar that most tourists have never heard of.
During your visit to Cuba, some hotel staff member or store worker will tell you that they have a relative who works at a cigar factory and can hook you up with some cheap authentic cigars. All of these people are lying. Everyone who sells fake cigars uses some variation of the same story, so do not be swayed no matter how earnest or trustworthy the person appears to be.
Even if you are able to buy authentic cigars off the street, the lack of proper storage may have lead them to be infected with cigar beetles. These are extremely common and you may find that your new collection of Cuban cigars suddenly are filled with holes. Then the other cigars in your humidor are filled with holes. And then you have to throw away your entire cigar collection. If you can afford to go on a vacation to Cuba, you should be able to afford a second, small humidor so that you can quarantine cigars you buy on vacation for several months to ensure they are clean before putting them with the rest of your collection.
My suggestion would be to buy a bunch of different cigars in the official stores while you are there and then buy a box of the one you like best. If you are buying them for someone else who wants one of the iconic Cuban cigars, you could buy Montecristos or H. Uppmanns. Don’t buy Cohibas for anyone other than yourself; they taste fantastic but they are too expensive. Nobody with any sense will ever complain about being given some genuine Uppmanns or Montecristos. One the other end of the spectrum, do not buy Guantanameras unless you are only buying them for some in-law you don’t really like or someone who usually smokes cigars that have wine flavoured plastic tips. If you really want to impress a friend while keeping on a budget then you should pick up a box of Fonsecas. Fonseca is a mild cigar that comes in an impressive looking wrapper but are relatively inexpensive. They are also mild cigars, which are the best choice for an occasional cigar smokers. Most casual smokers would likely enjoy them much more than the stronger tasting Cohibas. | <urn:uuid:8ba3cf69-f059-44d0-8710-65411dfd679d> | CC-MAIN-2019-18 | http://peasantgourmand.com/2015/06/ | 2019-04-18T19:09:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-18/segments/1555578526228.27/warc/CC-MAIN-20190418181435-20190418202443-00026.warc.gz | en | 0.967326 | 671 |

Shuttlers Jayaram, Pawar, Manu-Sumeeth reach US Open quarters
El Monte (California) July 8 (IANS) Promising Indian shuttlers Ajay Jayaram and Anand Pawar won their men’s singles matches to reach the quarter-finals of the US Open Grand Prix Gold but it was curtains for fifth seed H.S. Prannoy, B. Sai Praneeth, Pratul Joshi and Tanvi Lad who lost their second-round matches here.
In men’s doubles, Rio-bound Manu Attri and B. Sumeeth Reddy continued their winning run to reach the last four along with women’s combo of Meghana Jakkampudi and S. Poorvisha Ram on Thursday.
However, 2010 Commonwealth Games women’s champions duo of Jwala Gutta and Ashwini Ponnappa gave a walkover to bow out of the tournament.
In men’s singles, fourth seeded Jayaram took just 31 minutes to beat Portugal’s Pedro Martins 21-11, 21-15 in straight games as did Pawar, who too won his game convincingly, beating fellow countryman Joshi 21-11, 21-13 in just 35 minutes. Jayaram will now take on Pawar in the quarters.
It was, however, the end of the road for Prannoy, who went down 23-25, 21-23 to South Korea’s Lee Hyun II in a 49-minute contest. Sixth seeded Praneeth went down fighting 21-13, 17-21, 20-22 to Japan’s Kazumasa Sakai in an hour-long battle.
In women’s singles, Tanvi lost in straight games 17-21, 15-21 to fifth seeded Beiwen Zhang to bow out of the competition.
The doubles combo of Attri and Reddy continued their fine run, beating Japan’s Yuta Watanabe and Kenya Mitsuhashi in straight games 23-21, 21-13 to set up a clash with another Japanese pair of Takuro Hoki and Yugo Kobayashi in the quarters.
Women’s doubles pair of Meghana Jakkampudi and S. Poorvisha Ram beat local girls Ariel Lee and Sydney Lee 21-16, 21-6 in just 18 minutes to set up a clash with another second seeded local pair of Eva Lee and Paula Lynn Obanana. | <urn:uuid:67392712-c8f9-4d40-a10a-8b5aea98ee99> | CC-MAIN-2017-39 | http://www.mangalorean.com/shuttlers-jayaram-pawar-manu-sumeeth-reach-us-open-quarters/ | 2017-09-20T02:51:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-39/segments/1505818686117.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20170920014637-20170920034637-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.924438 | 516 |
Hope everyone had a good holiday. Here are some of the stories from the past few days that caught my eye. For a more complete account I would go check out Today in Iraq. My commentary is in italics.
District by District, Shiites Make Baghdad Their Own- As the United States debates what to do in Iraq, this country’s Shiite majority has been moving toward its own solution: making the capital its own. (Bush is apparently going to announce his grand new strategy for Iraq in the new year, but Iraq isn't waiting. Each indecisive day hundreds more Iraqis and American soldiers are killed or injured, and militias further cement their power.)
Iraqi Court Says Hussein Must Die Within 30 Days- An Iraqi appeals court on Tuesday upheld the death sentence against Saddam Hussein and ruled that the man whose brutal reign began in 1979 and ended with the American-led invasion in 2003 must go to the gallows within 30 days.
Hundreds Disappear Into the Black Hole of the Kurdish Prison System in Iraq- The entire inmate population had either been denied trials or had been held beyond the terms of their sentences, they said — lost in legal limbo in the Kurdish-controlled region of Iraq. (The legal system in all of Iraq, not just Kurdistan, is a joke. Usually, the accused are granted a farce of a trial; they are provided with an underpaid lawyer who rarely even meets with the accused and who generally fails to mount any sort of defense. The trials last on average about 15 minutes after which most defendants are found guilty. Please read this article for more. But how can we expect the Iraqis to hold just court proceedings if we can't?)
U.S. Says Captured Iranians Can Be Linked to Attacks- The American military said Tuesday that it had credible evidence linking Iranians and their Iraqi associates, detained here in raids last week, to criminal activities, including attacks against American forces...Iraqi leaders said last week that the site was the compound of Abdul Aziz al-Hakim, one of Iraq’s most powerful Shiite political leaders... A spokesman for Mr. Hakim said he had not heard of a raid on the compound. (While al-Sadr has refused to have any sort of relationship with the United States, al-Hakim has met with Bush at the White House and it appeared as though the U.S. would be backing al-Hakim in order to undermine al-Sadr. But with Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani's rejection of the U.S. backed plan to build a coalition across sectarian lines, it seems that the U.S. has decided to apply some pressure on al-Hakim and SCIRI.)
Marines Charge 4 With Murder of Iraq Civilians- Four marines were charged yesterday with murder in the killings of two dozen Iraqi civilians, including at least 10 women and children, in the village of Haditha last year, military officials said at Camp Pendleton, Calif. (For related blog entries go here, here and here.)

Ordericus Vitalis (ôrdĕrˈĭkəs vĭtălˈĭs) [key], 1075–c.1143, Norman monk and chronicler, b. England. He spent most of his life in Saint-Évroul in Normandy. His Ecclesiastical History (4 vol., tr. 1853–56; repr. 1968), a universal history to 1143, is valuable for a study of the Normans in England, France, and Italy and for the history of his own times.

ABC‘s new injury-plagued Splash isn’t the only reality diving show hampered by safety concerns. Xinhua News Agency reports 18-year-old Peng Jiaxuan, assistant to martial artist/contestant Shi Xiaolong on China’s Celebrity Splash China, drowned in a pool during a training session April 19. The show broadcast on China’s Zhejiang TV and ABC’s Splash are both spin-offs of the original Dutch format. The death happened a day after US Splash contestant Nicole Eggert was injured on the set of ABC’s American version and subsequently hospitalized. In recent weeks fellow contestant Rory Bushfield ruptured an eardrum and Louie Anderson suffered bruised ribs in training, while show-related injuries forced Katherine Webb and Chuy Bravo to quit the show in its first month on the air.
Will ‘Splash’ Injuries & China Death Force ABC To Evaluate Diving Show Dangers?
