Local people have been advised that historian Philip Orr will deliver a free talk at the Tower Museum tomorrow (Thursday) on the role of the 36th (Ulster) Division during the infamous Battle of the Somme.
With the centenary of the start of the Battle imminent, Mr Orr, author of ‘The Road To The Somme’, will discuss the traumatic experience of the men from the north west and the rest of Ulster who went ‘over the top’ on July 1.
The talk takes place at the Tower Museum on Thursday, June 23 at 7pm and admission is free.
Speaking ahead of the event, Mr Orr outlined the challenges faced by the local troops.
He said: “The 36th (Ulster) Division was made up of men from across the province and trained at locations across the North West during the course of the First World War, including at Finner Camp in Donegal.
“In the winter of 1915 and 1916 Brigades of men were attached to lines in the Somme area and by mid-March were preparing for the ‘Big Push’ in the summer of 1916.
“The advance in July saw thousands of men trying to take back control of the area around Thiepval but over 5,500 of the Ulster Division were killed, wounded or taken prisoner in the opening days of the attack.”
In his acclaimed book, Philip Orr interviewed veterans of the battle to paint a vivid picture of the reality of the conflict.
Their voices and those of friends of family expose the reality of war and the impact of the battle on communities across the north.
Mr Orr will discuss the personal stories of men of the Ulster Division on the Somme and the continued legacy of the battle in society today.
The talk is the latest in a series of events as part of the Tower Museum’s Remembering 1916 programme, delivered in partnership with Nerve Centre. | <urn:uuid:fb5f0fe2-f8ee-4f79-880d-3a6da65318bd> | CC-MAIN-2017-34 | http://www.derryjournal.com/news/free-talk-on-local-involvement-in-battle-of-somme-1-7444259 | 2017-08-22T22:29:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-34/segments/1502886116921.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20170822221214-20170823001214-00411.warc.gz | en | 0.972211 | 403 |

Sangre americana preview: Ochoa
Sammy Ochoa got a shot to show his worth to U.S. national team coaches earlier this year in France but despite scoring a goal he was not called up for the big show.
It's sort of fitting as that has been his calling card with Tecos UAG. And so far, this season is already following along those lines.
Ochoa, a native of Michoacan and graduate of Riverside Poly High, represented the United States at the World Youth Championship in 2005. Though he seemed to have put himself in prime position to make a move out of the second division at that point, his career has not progressed much since then.
Ochoa, 21, has spent most his time from the end of the tournament until now in Mexico's Primera A despite his goal-scoring antics. Last year, he had 16 goals with Tecos' second-division side but was promptly returned to Primera A to start this season. He scored a goal in the opener but also picked up a costly red card. Ochoa was suspended a total of three matches for the red card and overall violent conduct at the end of the club's match with Salamanca.
When he returns, he is likely to regain a spot on the field as his scoring touch has not failed him. But his path to the first division seems difficult at best. Tecos has traditionally been near the bottom of the Mexican league table but that hasn't led to any increased playing time for Ochoa with the first club. Most if not all of his time this year could be spent in Primera A. | <urn:uuid:58ab22f5-bee3-45a6-a529-97f4e7965b1a> | CC-MAIN-2017-04 | http://sidelineviews.blogspot.com/2008/07/sangre-americana-preview-ochoa.html | 2017-01-19T08:42:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-04/segments/1484560280504.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20170116095120-00420-ip-10-171-10-70.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.991381 | 344 |
Andrew Rafacz Gallery’s long, shallow and rectangular main space opens up with Zachary Buchner’s sparsely hung solo exhibition. All of Buchner’s paintings are a similar size, touched with fluorescent yellows, blues, reds and pale hues recalling spring. The brushstrokes are light, without rigor, as if the artist was coloring something in. The paintings are numbered “JSY 01” and “JSY 02” and so on. Serialized, the titles serve as an indication of a controlled experiment or a forbearance of something else to come, perhaps. With each painting holding a load of plaster dribbled, dotted or poured on the surface, and not breaking nor fighting with its frame, the seven paintings end up as limited permutations of each other.
Primarily concerned with surface, Buchner’s attempted arbitrariness and asymmetry of plaster placement seems negligent. To call them sculptural is misdirected; simply using a sculptural material as paint does not qualify the term. The transferred index of one painting to another is intriguing but reveals little. The material process suggests a connection to fresco, but Buchner’s thin paint is restrained and the compositions are not structurally varied beyond the paint-plaster-paint system. Buchner’s paintings are curious in this regard because of the lack of questions they ask. With their assuredness in surface, everything hangs off of it. Painting is surface, is that where the possibilities lie for this work?
The exhibition’s title, “Just Say Yes,” is a spoiler. The paintings are made to be bright and inviting, and play at being untamed. Neither questioning the world nor themselves in the process of being made, the paintings feel unengaged from the qualities of contemporary painting, such as image, framing or the act of painting itself. Although their formal qualities are pleasurable, I desire a position beyond the neutral. (Sean Ward)
Through May 5 at Andrew Rafacz Gallery, 835 West Washington

So what on earth is strength training
Strength is a word that has been used in the wrong way in terms of training.
People mix up the idea that lifting weights is strength training and in reality, strength is the capacity of training the muscles to work together. That is what creates strength.
In reality, you could have a person with massive biceps but who is weak.
Those big biceps could be the by-product of water retention caused by excess sodium from whey protein powders.
I will give you an example.
When I used to do gymnastics, we had from time to time a “pumped” big muscly guy that used to show up and say :
"My friends told me that I am strong and that I will be great doing the rings in gymnastics".
Then that supposedly “strong” person tried to do the rings and had no success.
I wish you could see the size of the arms of a gymnast that does the rings. They are not big at all, just defined.
So strength is super important in training, and I work on that with all my clients in all sessions.
Now you know that muscle size has nothing to do with strength.
So how do we make someone stronger?
I am doing exercises that recruit multiple muscle groups.
Every client is different!
Come to train with me, and I will show you!
A few decades ago, the rule of training was: never mix cardio with strength training. | <urn:uuid:701410cd-23fe-4afd-b40f-cd63173eef9c> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://www.ricardoriskalla.com/blog/strength-training-my-opinion-as-a-personal-trainer | 2024-02-21T22:49:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473558.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20240221202132-20240221232132-00371.warc.gz | en | 0.973416 | 312 |
UNITED NATIONS HEADQUARTERS
NEW YORK, NEW YORK
24 SEPTEMBER 2006
Ladies and Gentlemen,
At the outset, I would like to thank the co-chairs for inviting me to the Women Leaders Intercultural Forum. This event comes at a time when scholars and policy makers, are closely examining the notions of peace and security in particular its definitions and implications.
In his Letter to Future Generations, United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan said, "Peace means much more than the absence of war. Human security can no longer be understood in purely military terms. Rather, it must encompass economic development, social justice, environmental protection, democratization, disarmament, and respect for human rights and the rule of law."
This perspective is what brings this forum to the fore; where women from different ethnic, religious, and cultural backgrounds can come together to reinforce a much needed understanding of the interdependency between state and human security.
I believe it is essential to better understand our differences and benefit from each other's experiences while developing our method of interpretation; as there is no absolute reality. We are looking for a world of peace and justice where no one is more equal than the other. Thus, sharing the same aspiration of Emile Zola in the conclusion of his statement in defense of the famous Dreyfus case, "I have only one passion that of light, in the name of the humanity who has deeply suffered and who has the right to happiness ".
It is unfortunate that I am unable to participate in this stimulating and fruitful discussion over the next two days. However, I look forward to the outcome of this forum and to working closely with you in the near future.
Thank you and Good luck. | <urn:uuid:e8286a09-84d1-4da5-abd1-23f83737dd4e> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.un.org/ga/president/61/statements/statement20060924.shtml | 2016-10-25T04:04:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988719877.27/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183839-00434-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.956869 | 354 |

By STEVE KRAH
Personal experience has taught Chris Woodruff the value of junior college for a student-athlete and now he’s leading a baseball program at a two-year school.
Woodruff, 25, was named head coach at Ancilla College near Donaldson, Ind., in June and has been busy recruiting and working on the facility at the liberal arts institution of higher learning sponsored by the Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ.
Woodruff, who has been running events for Elite Baseball Tournaments on the weekends, sees recruiting as a “fun challenge.”
With only a few months to fill a roster, recruiting has really amped up for him.
“Once we begin our fall ball season, we can begin recruiting our 2019 season,” says Woodruff. “We do have a lot of quality guys that return. I’m getting close to my goal. I want to get 30 guys this year and next year, I want to get up to 40.
“The more guys I can have on the roster, the more intrasquads we can do and the more team work we can do here on the field and see what we have in front of us rather having to depend on going somewhere to play a scrimmage.”
Woodruff says he hopes to tap into local talent on the playing side and has already done that for coaching.
Jesse Zepeda, an Elkhart Central High School graduate who played the outfield at Bethel College, has joined Woodruff’s Ancilla coaching staff.
“He already knows what I’m trying to bring here,” says Woodruff of Zepeda. “He’ll back my methods and my ways.”
Woodruff has a couple other people in mind to add other assistants.
A 2011 graduate of South Bend (Ind.) John Adams High School, Woodruff played two seasons (2012 and 2013) for coaches Keith Schreiber and Mike Marks at Glen Oaks Community College in Centreville, Mich. — a Michigan Community College Athletic Association member along with Ancilla — and two (2014 and 2015) for coach Brian Blondell at Holy Cross College in Notre Dame, Ind.
One of his teammates at Holy Cross was Jake Lanning, who was selected in the 24th round of the 2015 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft by the Atlanta Braves and played in the minors that summer.
“I’ve seen and played with a lot of great guys,” says Woodruff.
Woodruff, who played football for coaches Frank Amato and Craig Redman and baseball for coach Adam Zache at Adams, hit .312 with two doubles, one triple, six runs batted in and 20 runs scored in his last season as a center fielder at Glen Oaks.
His final year at Holy Cross, the right fielder was selected first-team all-Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference after hitting .331.
“I know what kind of junior college played for me — athletically and academically,” says Woodruff. “I can give players the opportunity to come here and play for two years at the college level. In two years, they can improve and develop and leave with their associate degree and go somewhere bigger and better.
“I’m looking for guys who want to come here and work day in and day out and if Ancilla is the right place for them, we can make it work baseball-wise as well.”
Ancilla offers 25 associate degrees and the professor-to-student ratio is low, making for more personal attention. The campus located next to Gilbert Lake and eight miles west of Plymouth.
Some players and families know how the junior college system works and others are being educated while also being told the merits of Ancilla.
“Each family is different,” says Woodruff. “I have to feed off of them and see where their mindset is.”
Woodruff began his coaching career as a football assistant to Redman at Adams while also finishing his degree in the fall/winter of 2015.
Woodruff then tried his hand at professional baseball in the 2016 California Winter League.
“It was a good experience,” says Woodruff. “All the coaches in that league were (independent pro baseball) coaches or ex-pros and I learned a lot picking their brains.”
In 2016-17, he was a football assistant to Redman at South Bend Clay and a volunteer baseball assistant to head coach Mike Huling at Indiana University South Bend then served as a volunteer on the staff of Seth Zartman at Bethel in Mishawaka, Ind., in 2017-18.
Huling was an hitting/outfield coach in Woodruff’s senior year at Holy Cross then brought him onto the IUSB staff.
“I was always a great outfielder and defender, but it was always just natural,” says Woodruff. “I never had anyone teach me. He was constantly getting us to improve on what we did yesterday.
“At IUSB, it was what were we doing as a team to get better that day. Each day, we’re going to improve a little bit.”
Woodruff always wants to get better as a coach and see his atheles make steady progress.
“As soon as you think you know it all, get out of baseball because it’s constantly improving and adapting,” says Woodruff. “There’s so much information out there. Try to just be a sponge.”
At Bethel, Woodruff saw the way Zartman and assistant Kiel Boynton went about their daily business.
“I try to take everything in and that’s what it’s been like this first two or three weeks at Ancilla,” says Woodruff. “I’m constantly learning.
“That’s the kind of team I want to have on the field year in and year out — one that wants to adapt and improve.”
Woodruff, who was hired to a part-time position at Ancilla by athletic director Brian Pearison, has been consulting with groundskeeping guru and longtime family friend Joel Reinebold about getting the Chargers’ playing facility in shape.
“He’s definitely someone I will lean on as I’m getting started and as I move forward,” says Woodruff of Reinebold.
John and Teri Woodruff both have coaching and athletic administration backgrounds but they never pressured their only child to participate in sports.
“They got it right the first time,” says Chris Woodruff. “They just wanted me to be doing something. They’ve definitely been great role models for me and they are the backbone of my support system.”
Growing up, Chris was always around for dad’s softball games in the spring and summer and helped his mother at football games (at Penn High School then Adams).
“I was always around athletics,” says Woodruff. “It’s something I’ve grown to love.”
Woodruff also appreciates all the community support.
There’s a whole village that helped me get to this point and I have been to thank,” says Woodruff. “I’m always adapting, improving, learning and growing.”

Favorite Walk: If I can get her to walk it would be the park
Best Tricks: She found out that holding her bowl with her paws will keep it from moving away from her when she is eatting.
Arrival Story: I was working at Long John Silvers and my Manager at the time told me she had a dog that was to small for her kids because they wanted to play with her but because they are younger children they would sometimes play to rough with her, So she asked me if i would like her.

Americans are notorious for packing their schedules too full, but they are not alone.
Convenience beckons them with fast food instead of real food, energy drinks instead of sleep, texting instead of talking to people face to face, and fat loss gimmicks instead of effective fitness training.
Soon or later convenience will cost them dearly.
The mindset of convenience is easily rationalized and it is very addictive.
You cannot live well without real food, enough sleep, a solid training program, and healthy relationships.
Make whatever adjustments you need to in order to escape the curse of convenience! | <urn:uuid:56a828e0-9e60-4af4-b51d-b91561c90eb0> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://cavestrong.net/2017/10/07/convenience-is-the-killer/ | 2021-10-24T18:23:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323587593.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20211024173743-20211024203743-00162.warc.gz | en | 0.934151 | 120 |
Former LSU football coach Ed Orgeron and 13 others have been dropped from a high-profile lawsuit that accuses LSU officials of ignoring cases of gender discrimination and sexual misconduct on campus.
Ten current and former LSU students are plaintiffs in the April 2021 lawsuit against the university. But while the lawsuit previously named 19 defendants connected to the school, the plaintiffs’ attorneys whittled that list down to five in an amended complaint Monday.
A federal judge on Thursday dismissed a major component of a lawsuit that LSU Associate Athletic Director Sharon Lewis filed against the unive…
The remaining defendants are the LSU Board of Supervisors, Executive Deputy Athletic Director Verge Ausberry, Senior Associate Athletic Director Miriam Segar, former Title IX coordinator Jennie Stewart and LSU’s Associate Dean of Students Jonathan Sanders.
The plaintiffs, all women, have also nixed their allegations that LSU violated the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, or RICO, the federal law often used to take down organized crime syndicates. They still accuse LSU of various violations of federal laws that ban gender discrimination.
“After careful consideration and review, we narrowly tailored our complaint,” said Karen Truszkowski, the plaintiffs’ attorney.
An LSU spokesman did not respond to a message Tuesday.
Chanting “this campus is mine, protect me Title IX,” about 100 LSU students marched through campus Monday afternoon to protest LSU’s failure t…
The amended lawsuit comes weeks after U.S. District Judge Wendy Vitter ordered that the plaintiffs address the defendants' arguments that the racketeering claims had passed the deadline to be tried in court and that some state employees had immunity under the 11th Amendment.
The suit alleges that LSU officials created a hostile environment for women on campus and that they retaliated against those who complained about sexual misconduct. The students also charge that they were denied equal legal protections and due process.
“LSU and LSU’s Athletics Department funded and implemented a purposefully deficient sexual misconduct and Title IX reporting scheme separate and apart from LSU’s official Title IX Office to keep legitimate sexual assault claims within the Athletics Department,” the lawsuit states.
Orgeron and his company, "O" The Rosy Finch Boyz LLC, were no longer included in the amended complaint filed Monday. Neither were the The Tiger Athletic Foundation, nor former LSU President F. King Alexander and former Athletic Director Joe Alleva.
Others dropped from the lawsuit include LSU women's tennis coaches Julia and Michael Sell, and Associate Athletic Director Sharon Lewis. Lewis is the plaintiff in a separate retaliation lawsuit against LSU.
She spent two and a half years wondering if she made the right decision after the night that had come to eclipse the happier parts of her life.
The lawsuit still takes issue with Orgeron’s alleged misconduct, even though it no longer names him as a defendant. Orgeron and LSU parted ways at the end of the 2021 football season after a 6-6 season.
The plaintiffs claim Orgeron was dismissive, for example, when an LSU football recruit told him that star running back Derrius Guice had raped that recruit’s girlfriend. Orgeron has denied those allegations, and an attorney for Guice has said that he did not commit misconduct at LSU.
The women suing LSU say that they have suffered pain, emotional distress, medical expenses, loss of educational opportunities and more. They are requesting damages in “an amount to be determined at trial” and a permanent injunction requiring LSU to follow the federal law against gender discrimination at educational institutions, Title IX. | <urn:uuid:592f4bf0-2702-4a51-85f7-8bf934aa232a> | CC-MAIN-2022-21 | https://www.theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/news/article_65797c68-78a8-11ec-a8c3-6f0cb54d5f0d.html | 2022-05-26T22:54:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-21/segments/1652662627464.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20220526224902-20220527014902-00550.warc.gz | en | 0.970967 | 740 |
His collection was so huge it took me two solid days to download his version one files onto my machine. When I ran Delicious Library 2 on my Air in debug mode, it converted his data for about thirty minutes, then crashed with an exception that said the database file was 'corrupt'. I tried to look where it had crashed, but XCode was reporting that all my source code files were gone. In fact, so were my iTunes songs, and everything in my Documents folder. I opened Finder and Terminal, and verified that the directories were indeed empty. No error messages, no residual files. Just empty. Panic.
A minute or so later, all these files magically came back. Everything. As if nothing had happened.
After thinking about this overnight (while staying away from the computer), I changed one word in my source code, and the customer's file loaded perfectly, in only twenty minutes.
In my personal pantheon of bugs, this report was triaged at the top. Roughly, my triage order is:
- Data-loss bugs
- Unavoidable crashers
- Functionality-blocking bugs
- Avoidable crashers
- Avoidable bugs
- Performance issues
- Feature suggestions
- UI feedback
But, note that in the first case, the "performance" issue has made the feature essentially unusable, so it's really a functionality-blocking bug. Further, if publishing is synchronous, then this bug is blocking access to the application for an unacceptable amount of time, and could be considered a crasher of sorts.
Weighing the bug my real user reported, we see that it's The Perfect Storm, a trifecta that crashes the app (and the machine!), every time (on launch!!), blocks all functionality, and, to add insult to injury, it takes a long time to do so. (The food wasn't very good, and the portions were very small.)
This bug was suddenly at the top of my list.
How can machines crash due to user programs? The machine-crashing bug is exceedingly rare in shipping applications; in my experience, there are two primary causes: some system resource gets used up by the program, or the program confuses the window server (the graphics system) and the machine's primary interface locks up.
As an operating system matures, it's usually harder and harder to confuse the window server (I haven't seen such a bug in OS X in a long time), but resource over-allocation problems remain.
One of the goals of the operating system's designers is to not allow programs running in user space to ever crash the entire machine. Some would say it's a primary goal, even. But in real life, most operating systems can be brought to their knees (if not fully knocked-out) by user code.
Consider a simple application that just allocates memory in a tight loop. As the operating system runs this application and starts running out of free physical RAM pages, it starts throwing away the pages used by other applications, in a process that goes kind of like this: oh, you haven't used mail in a few seconds, I'll throw that away for now, and, uh, also this web browser, and, uh, damn, the window server's backing store, and, uh, this essential system font server, and, uh...
Pretty soon you've effectively locked up the system, just because it's going to take so long to page in any particular resource the windowing system needs to run that by the time it's loaded off the disk your rogue process has caused some other vital page to be unloaded.
Now, the internet is full of flames about how this is completely unacceptable, and OS designers are 100% to blame and yadda yadda yadda. These are, in my opinion, probably from computer science PhD students who believe in a perfect world of provable programming and the Easter Bunny.
Here in the realm of actually making money, if running your program causes a user's computer to crash, she doesn't care if it's Apple's "fault" — she's going to post all over the interwebs that your program sucks, and ask you for her money back. Now, since you're not a PhD student, you like money, so this is bad.
And, honestly, why blame the OS designer? Your app was written incorrectly. It was going to crash or be killed by the OS anyhow. This is a bug you need to fix either way. And the user would be pissed at you even if the OS catches your app and says, "Sorry, this application has gone crazy, we're killing it."
You can see why OS designers don't spend all their time worrying about such issues. It's not as if a lot of real malware is written to crash machines — like biological viruses, successful software viruses don't kill the host, they co-exist with the host and use a minimum of resources while replicating themselves. Viruses that kill the host go extinct very quickly.
Further, to allow programmers to get the most out of the hardware, OS designers need to let us live right on the edge. The more blocks and checks they put between us and the hardware, the slower our programs are going to run. Imagine if the Apple said to programmers: "Ok, in order to not let you dominate the hardware, we will only let you use 50% of the CPU at any one time." Now imagine you're a user, running World of Warcraft on your brand-new $4,000 ultra-lux machine, and you're only getting half the framerate you should be, and would be under, say, Windows.
You'd be pissed. And Apple would lose a customer.
Look, I don't want to seem mean. I'm sure she's a very nice person in real life, and probably quite smart. And, she's a very handsome woman, I'm not denying that. But, honestly, Jessica Alba can't act. It's just not a skill she has.
It's OK. Not everyone was meant to be an actress. But you really have to admit your limitations to yourself. I know, for instance, I'll never be a supermodel. I'm OK with that. I'd make a lousy president, too. I accept it.
It's time to stop, Jessica. You're costing people money. And YOU would be happier doing something you know you're good at, that you could feel good about. There are LOTS of professions for preternaturally beautiful women out there. You could be one of my assistants, for instance.
How do you even begin to fix a bug where things are going great for a while, then your machine crashes and/or all your files disappear?
Remember that the very first thing you do, when looking at any bug, before you even start thinking about it, and long before you look at your code, is replicate it. You can't debug what you can't replicate, and user reports are usually lacking in some details that your trained eye will catch.
At this point, I'd already replicated the crash, and I'd seen a valuable clue the user hadn't seen: my files had disappeared. The key clue.
Next, in a case like this, you'd need to make sure you have a recent backup of your machine, because, damn. I mean, I've been programming for a long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long time, and I've never seen a bug like that.
Ok: your machine is crashing, so you suspect that it's running out of some resource. Memory is the most common resource to run out of and the easiest to find and fix, so you run your program under Instruments, with the leak detection tool. You really should have done this before you released your application, but you were totally burnt-out and you'd been in beta for months and didn't seem to have any major issues, so you failed to do everything just right. Now you're paying.
Your code will run slow as hell under Instruments, but in the end, like that hot gypsy lady at the fair, she will magically tell you, "Hey, you leaked this object exactly here and at exactly this time, so cut it out." It's a small miracle, and the team who wrote this has two to go and they're saints, bitches.
Sadly, at this point I had also already run Instruments / leaks weeks before, and although it had found a major image leak in 2.0 (whoopsie!) which had kept some users from loading very large libraries, and released it in 2.0.1, this fix didn't help our guy. In fact, my virtual memory usage was holding steady at 1.26 GB as I loaded his collection, which is really not bad considering every process on my system right now has between 0.5 to 1.18 GB of VM right now, under no load.
Not memory. Hmm. Now you think. Think think think. I think better if I distract myself from the problem and let my hind-brain take over. So I went and played Assassin's Creed, and murdered some fools who had waged war on their fellow man, or made the mistake of calling me peasant, or gotten in my way, or looked funny, or stood around yelling too much about how Salem Ali is a strong man. Honestly, once you start stabbing people in the neck it's hard to stop.
All the while, I'm swishing ideas around in my mouth to see if they taste right. Graphics memory leak? Often a window server will have its own mini-memory manager: was I overloading it as I converted 40,000 cover images from version one? Maybe, but... Instruments had actually found my leak of graphics memory before, so I kind of trusted that it would have found any others I might have had.
Stab. Stab stab. Gurgle.
Also, my files had disappeared. That doesn't seem like a graphics problem.
Stab. Man, I love jumping from a tall building and landing with my blade in someone's throat. I am so bad-ass.
What resources are related to files? Honestly, I don't know a lot about modern file systems; they are kind of a black box to me. When I went to college, we had integers which represented files. And we liked it!
But Mach had introduced a new kind of I/O, called memory-mapped I/O, that I was using extensively. A possible culprit?
Back when NeXTstep 0.8 was first unveiled, one of its key revolutions was it was based on not just plain UNIX, but Mach UNIX, which was a really damn fast and clever re-write of the lowest layers of UNIX, with some extra fun added in, including cheap and fast inter-process communication. Avie Tevanian had been working on Mach as a PhD student at Carnegie Mellon, and Steve Jobs recognized he was a star and hired him straight away. (Microsoft countered by hiring Avie's old advisor to work on NT, which is kind of like Microsoft hiring my mom because I'm a good programmer.)
One of the great things Mach gave us was a new way to read files, which process was really slow by default under vanilla UNIX, for reasons I don't fully understand. Mach introduced the metaphor of memory-mapped files, which used the virtual memory system to map a file on disk onto an address somewhere in VM, without actually loading anything from the disk at first. The cool thing was your program could access any byte in this special VM region, and the correct part of the file would be paged in on-demand, using the exact same mechanism that the VM system used to extend applications' physical memory by mapping their virtual memory spaces to a large reserved area on the disk.
This turned out to be very fast, because it had none of the overhead of normal UNIX I/O, which usually involved reading a byte or so at a time using a UNIX function, which involved an expensive system trap and had a lot of overhead (checking to see if enough bytes have been read in from the disk and if not reading in some more) compared to just fetching a memory location. In the latter case, once a page was fetched in you can fetch all the other bytes on that page for free, no system calls at all, just a standard memory access. Big win.
NeXTstep 1.0 gave us to memory streams, which were awesome, and NeXTStep 2.0 (new capitalization) used memory mapped files by default when you read files using its fancy new NSData class, and all new applications ran a lot faster and life was good.
Well, mostly good. One problem with memory-mapped I/O is that if the user deletes or moves the file on the disk, the OS can't get to it any more, but the programmer never really knows when this might happen, so she don't know whether to just go ahead and make a copy of the entire file into memory or not. So it's not a good idea to keep memory-mapped files open for a long time.
Another, more recent, problem is that virtual memory on 32-bit systems is capped at 4GB, which means the largest file you can memory-map is a lot smaller than 4GB (since your app is going to use, like, at least 1GB of VM itself). Nowadays, it's not uncommon for users to have 6GB movie files in their iTunes. Oops.
So, for a while now, Apple has been moving gently away from memory-mapping I/O. For example, you have to set a flag (CSResourcesFileMapped) in your applications' Info.plist if you want to memory-map the resource files that the AppKit and Foundation frameworks load for you; otherwise they are read using different (unknown) techniques, which may or may not be slower (see below).
Fortuitously, however, I'd just been part of a discussion on a developer mailing list about optimized file system access, and learned an important fact, which gave me the solution.
I have exalted memory-mapped I/O for exactly twenty years now, but just a week or so ago an Apple engineer told me that the latest tests show that Apple's new-fangled "uncached" access method had at least as good of performance as memory-mapped I/O, with neither of the two big drawbacks listed above. It was The New Way.
Here's a bit from the NSData page:
- A hint indicating the file should be mapped into virtual memory, if possible.
Available in Mac OS X v10.4 and later.
- A hint indicating the file should not be stored in the file-system caches.
For data being read once and discarded, this option can improve performance.
Available in Mac OS X v10.4 and later.
But now I'd heard the Word, and It Was Good. I resolved then and there to look over my code, and see when I did and didn't need NSMappedRead. But I didn't want to just naively trust that NSUncachedRead was always better (APIs so rarely work like that), so I'd need to do timing tests. So, in fact, I was in the middle of these timing tests (on iTunes importing) when I got this new bug report, so I had some experience with memory-mapped vs. cached access.
Ok, I'm reading in 40,000 image files as part of the conversion, and storing them in my database. At some point the filesystem goes on vacation and says, to hell with you, I'm not reading any more damn files, even if they are just directories. Hrmmm. Hrmmmmmmmmmm.
"Oh, please, spare my li-- gurgle!"
Maybe the problem was there was some huge bug in Apple's Mach, where if you open too many files in a short period of time, the filesystem tried to, like, cache the results, and the cache blew up, and as a result the filesystem incorrectly just would fail to open any more files, instead of flushing the cache. This made a little sense, since the problem had gone away spontaneously after a minute or so, like a cache problem would when the cache auto-flushed.
One thing I knew, KNEW wasn't the problem was that I had too many file open simultaneously. Because the way my code worked, I'd open the files using NSData's dataWithContentsOfMappedFile:, do a little massaging on the image inside, and then the files would auto-close themselves when the NSData was autoreleased, which I would correctly do every 100 files I read in.
I knew this. Knew! I've also been around long enough to know that whenever I know the operating system must be bugged, since my code is correct, I should take a damn close look at my code. The old adage (not mine) is that 99% of the time operating system bugs are actually bugs in your program, and the other 1% of the time they are still bugs in your program, so look harder, dammit.
So I traced through the steps. First I read the image file into the NSData. Right. It's auto-released, so I'm not leaking it. Then, I set the CoreData object's data field to point to the same NSData. Still no leak. Then, the NSData is autoreleased, correctly, and the system resources should be freed up.
Wait a minute. Wait. It's autoreleased, but that doesn't mean it's deallocated. It just means the reference count is decremented. But someone else might still have a pointer to it... in fact, I had just assigned the same NSData to the CoreData object. Knowing it was an immutable data, the CoreData object didn't make a copy of my data, it just retained the exact same NSData object. The one that had an open memory-map of the image file!
CoreData's objects persist in memory until you flush them explicitly, which means anything they are holding also persists. So, I was creating 40,000 memory-mapped files and not freeing any of them. That, uh... seemed fishy. Like, five-course-sushi-dinner fishy.
Now, I could flush these cover objects explicitly using CoreData; I'd have to read in a batch of old objects, convert them, save everything, then flush the covers, then read in another batch. In fact, I was already using batches (following CoreData's best practice guidelines, see "Importing in Batches"), but flushing would add a layer of complexity. I'd have to keep track of the objects I created separately, and loop through and flush them.
Sure, that's easy code to write. But I'm making a 2.0.2 release, and in x.x.y releases, I want to change as little code as possible to fix the bug, because my beta testers weren't going to be excited about testing a release that adds no features. I will test it myself, of course, and I'd ask anyone who reported the bug to test it, but doing something as heavy-duty as suddenly flushing a bunch of objects could have side effects, and I wouldn't have enough people to test for those. Yes, in theory flushing shouldn't have side-effects, but in that same world, no code should ever have bugs and communism is a really nifty idea.
But, I'd been told that NSUncachedRead was as good as NSMappedRead, without as many drawbacks. Would it also not tie up the same system resources? Certainly the word "uncached" seemed promising. I'd try it.
I kind of exaggerated on the "one word" in my preamble — it would have been a one word change, but I'd used the older interface on NSData:
|NSData *imageData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfMappedFile:fullImagePath];|
I replaced it with this line (which would say NSMappedRead instead of NSUncachedRead to be equivalent to the above):
| NSData *imageData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:fullImagePath|
Thus removing the memory-mapping.
Importing the large collection worked perfectly. The problem was solved, and now I could upgrade truly HUGE collections.
We had tested Delicious Library 2 with importing an enormous sample file of 10,000 Delicious Library 1 items. However, it took so long to build up such a library in version 1 that we ended up building the sample library using a custom program, and as a result that test file didn't have any images in it. But beta testers were enrolled specifically because they had collections of thousands of items, and we had the largest closed beta of any program I've worked on. We also tested with our friends' Delicious Library 1 files, of about 3,300 items.
But this customer had over 4,400 items in Delicious Library 1. That, it turned out, was a few over a limit we had no idea existed. Damn it.
It's a bug we should have caught. We should have spent the time to get the images in the 10,000 item file. I messed up.
Software is written by humans. Humans get tired. Humans become discouraged. They aren't perfect beings. As developers, we want to pretend this isn't so, that our software springs from our head whole and immaculate like the goddess Athena. Customers don't want to hear us admit that we fail.
The measure of a man cannot be whether he ever makes mistakes, because he will make mistakes. It's what he does in response to his mistakes. The same is true of companies.
We have to apologize, we have to fix the problem, and we have to learn from our mistakes.
Unfortunately, Delicious Monster has so much mail from releasing version 2, we're failing at responding to customers right now. We are a tiny company, and had one support person, and although we're bringing a second up to speed, it takes time to teach someone how to solve our users' problems. Our backlog of mail messages is finally going down — as of today, we're at 1,300, down from 3,000 a week or so after our release. We still get several hundred messages a day, though, and it takes time just to sort through and see which ones are bugs and which ones are customers needing help and which ones are people just saying, "Hey, that's cool, you know what else would be cool?"
When this customer finally got through to me, I apologized to him for the bug and the crummy response time, and elevated his bug to the top. I let him know what I was doing to fix it, and got the fix done in a couple days. I also gave him a free license to Delicious Library 2, since he'd been unable to buy it yet.
I had already known that when I launched 2.0, I couldn't immediately go on vacation; that I'd have to jump in to the 2.0.1 release for any urgent bugs that customers found. What I didn't realize was how much support e-mail would spike. That's the lesson I learned: I need to have extra people ready to do support when I do a major release. I'm not sure how to do this and not be paying people to twiddle their thumbs the rest of the time, but that's something I'll have to figure out. And I apologize to my customers for this screw-up.
The beta for 2.0.2 is out now, at http://delicious-monster.com/downloads/Delicious%20Library%202%20Beta/DeliciousLibrary2.zip.
It'll load a ton of items. | <urn:uuid:f54bb22c-0f7b-4c09-9659-1fca913e9287> | CC-MAIN-2015-14 | http://blog.wilshipley.com/2008/07/pimp-my-code-part-15-greatest-bug-of.html | 2015-03-31T09:40:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-14/segments/1427131300464.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20150323172140-00134-ip-10-168-14-71.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.974369 | 5,036 |
Obituary: Margaret Towner
My mother, Margaret Towner, known to millions of Star Wars fans across the world, passed away on April 10 at the remarkable age of 96.
In 1997, she had travelled to Bray Studios to be interviewed by George Lucas (whom she admitted she’d never heard of) for the part of Jira in The Phantom Menace. The result led to Star Wars conventions across the country and fans requesting ‘selfies’ on the doorstep of her Victorian terraced house in Twickenham – once the home to Ringo Starr in the Beatles’ 1965 film Help.
Margaret was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and moved, aged five, with her family to England. In 1938, she enrolled at RADA and recalled in her memoirs, How Could You Have Done This Without Us, her days being filled trailing from one theatrical agency to another with a large folder of photographs – “All looking singularly unlike me” – in the hope of work.
Occasionally she got the odd day on a film like 1940’s Under Your Hat, with Cicely Courtneidge and Jack Hulbert. Playing one of several gangling girls and being quite a bit taller than any of them, it wasn’t difficult for her to be noticed, easing herself comfortably into every shot behind Miss Courtneidge.
Her first play outside RADA was a daft little comedy set in a nudist camp called The Bare Idea. She toured the play with three strippers, who halfway through the second act appeared “absolutely starkers” in the French windows before the onslaught of nightly bombing raids brought it to a close. With ENSA, she toured in The Amazing Doctor Clitterhouse, where she met her future husband, Raymond Francis, later to become one of television’s great detective stars, Superintendent Lockhart in No Hiding Place.
In order to raise a family, she reluctantly withdrew herself from the industry for almost 30 years. On the death of her husband in 1987, she reapplied to Equity and received honorary membership. And so, at the age of 67, Margaret Towner’s career finally took off.
Within a short time, she appeared in a number of fringe theatre productions (including a one-woman show at the King’s Head, Islington) and episodes of Casualty, The Bill, Keeping Up Appearances, Little Britain, My Hero, Doctors, and the dark, allegorical fantasy film, the Wolves of Kromer.
But it was her short but significant role as Jira, who befriends young Anakin Skywalker, in Star Wars: Episode I, The Phantom Menace (1999), which gave her a dose of celebrity status, especially among all her grandchildren, who were in awe of her.
In 2013, aged 93, she returned to television as Edna in Ricky Gervais’ award-winning comedy-drama Derek. At the time, she was probably the oldest working actress in the UK.
Margaret Towner was born on October 1, 1920, and died on April 10. She is survived by her daughters Caroline and Frances, and her actor son, Clive Francis. | <urn:uuid:c97e204d-e299-4c12-b0c7-3083e9b65e19> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | https://www.thestage.co.uk/features/obituaries/2017/obituary-margaret-towner/ | 2017-05-29T22:43:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463613135.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20170529223110-20170530003110-00220.warc.gz | en | 0.972153 | 665 |

Surah Al-An-‘am (Arabic: سورة الأنعام, Sūratu al-An’ām, “The Cattle”) is the sixth chapter of the Qur’an, with 165 verses. Its main topics are monotheism, resurrection, heaven and hell.
The surah reports the story of Nabi Ibrahim whos using his own reason stopped worship of celestial bodies and turned towards Allah, so that he could have received revelation.
102. Such is Allah, your Lord! (none has the right to be worshipped but He), the Creator of all things. So worship Him (Alone), and He is the Wak�l(Trustee, Disposer of affairs, Guardian, etc.) over all things.
104. Verily, proofs have come to you from your Lord, so whosoever sees, will do so for (the good of) his ownself, and whosoever blinds himself, will do so to his own harm, and I (Muhammad ) am not a watcher over you.
105. Thus We explain variously the Verses so that they (the disbelievers) may say: “You have studied (the Books of the people of the Scripture and brought this Qur’an from that)” and that We may make the matter clear for the people who have knowledge.
108. And insult not those whom they (disbelievers) worship besides Allha, lest they insult Allawrongfully without knowledge. Thus We have made fair seeming to each people its own doings; then to their Lord is their return and He shall then inform them of all that they used to do.
109. And they swear their strongest oaths by Allah, that if there came to them a sign, they would surely believe therein. Say: “Signs are but with Allah and what will make you (Muslims) perceive that (even) if it (the sign) came, they will not believe?”
111. And even if We had sent down unto them angels, and the dead had spoken unto them, and We had gathered together all things before their very eyes, they would not have believed, unless Allah willed, but most of them behave ignorantly.
112. And so We have appointed for every Prophet enemies – Shaytan (devils) among mankind and jinns, inspiring one another with adorned speech as a delusion (or by way of deception). If your Lord had so willed, they would not have done it, so leave them alone with their fabrications. (Tafseer Qurtubi, Vol.7, Page 67)
113. (And this is in order) that the hearts of those who disbelieve in the Hereafter may incline to such (deceit), and that they may remain pleased with it, and that they may commit what they are committing (all kinds of sins and evil deeds, etc.).
114. [Say (O Muhammad )] “Shall I seek a judge other than Allah while it is He Who has sent down unto you the Book (The Qur’an), explained in detail.” Those unto whom We gave the Scripture [the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)] know that it is revealed from your Lord in truth. So be not you of those who doubt.
119. And why should you not eat of that (meat) on which Allah’s Name has been pronounced (at the time of slaughtering the animal), while He has explained to you in detail what is forbidden to you, except under compulsion of necessity? And surely many do lead (mankind) astray by their own desires through lack of knowledge. Certainly your Lord knows best the transgressors.
121. Eat not (O believers) of that (meat) on which Allah’s Name has not been pronounced (at the time of the slaughtering of the animal), for sure it is Fisq (a sin and disobedience of Allah). And certainly, the Shaytan (devils) do inspire their friends (from mankind) to dispute with you, and if you obey them [by making Al Maytatah (a dead animal) legal by eating it], then you would indeed be Mushrikin (polytheists) [because they (devils and their friends) made lawful to you to eat that which Allah has made unlawful to eat and you obeyed them by considering it lawful to eat, and by doing so you worshipped them, and to worship others besides Allah is polytheism].
122. Is he who was dead (without Faith by ignorance and disbelief) and We gave him life (by knowledge and Faith) and set for him a light (of Belief) whereby he can walk amongst men, like him who is in the darkness (of disbelief, polytheism and hypocrisy) from which he can never come out? Thus it is made fair seeming to the disbelievers that which they used to do.
124. And when there comes to them a sign (from Allah) they say: “We shall not believe until we receive the like of that which the Messengers of Allah had received.” Allah knows best with whom to place His Message. Humiliation and disgrace from Allah and a severe torment will overtake the criminals (polytheists, sinners, etc.) for that which they used to plot.
125. And whomsoever Allah wills to guide, He opens his breast to Islam, and whomsoever He wills to send astray, He makes his breast closed and constricted, as if he is climbing up to the sky. Thus Allah puts the wrath on those who believe not.
128. And on the Day when He will gather them (all) together (and say): “O you assembly of jinns! Many did you mislead of men,” and their Auliy‘ (friends and helpers, etc.) amongst men will say: “Our Lord! We benefited one from the other, but now we have reached our appointed term which You did appoint for us.” He will say: “The Fire be your dwelling place, you will dwell therein forever, except as Allah may will. Certainly your Lord is All Wise, All Knowing.”
130. O you assembly of jinns and mankind! “Did not there come to you Messengers from amongst you, reciting unto you My Verses and warning you of the meeting of this Day of yours?” They will say: “We bear witness against ourselves.” It was the life of this world that deceived them. And they will bear witness against themselves that they were disbelievers. | <urn:uuid:655649cc-14f8-498a-a73f-6f596c0fd5ac> | CC-MAIN-2016-18 | https://nughol.wordpress.com/2010/08/10/1-al-anam-ayat-102-130/ | 2016-05-05T21:49:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-18/segments/1461861623301.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20160428164023-00144-ip-10-239-7-51.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.97764 | 1,399 |

I think Durge is a great figure as long as you leave him in the package. I opened one for my loose collection. His accessories wouldn't stay in his right hand and the peg on the jetpack wasn't long enough to stick in the hole in his back. I'm disapppointed because I have to display him with half of his accessories lying around his feet.

In this week’s blog our fab PRCA Social Media and PR Apprentice Dominika shares her musings on social media, and with just a few months in to her role here at Montage we think she’s done a pretty awesome job! Read on to see why…
There are currently 2.62 billion social media users globally, so the platform is becoming bigger and bigger. It’s a fantastic way to promote your business, drive engagement and build a community around your brand. In today’s fast-paced, digital world it’s necessary to stay on top of your social media game. So, to provide consistent content that achieves optimum results use these tips as a go-to checklist.
Hashtags are an excellent way to relate your content to trending and relevant material, opening the door to new and potential clients and audiences. You need to create interesting and memorable hashtags that help you advertise specific content.
According to a Quicksprout study, posts with 11 hashtags on Instagram will receive the highest engagement (79.5%). This doesn’t mean that you can’t use more or less hashtags, you can use as many as you like, but your engagement and reach might not be as high. It’s good to observe hashtags to always stay on top of the most popular ones that can help you increase your brand visibility.
Here at Montage, we very often use Hashtagify to search for the most effective, popular and relevant hashtags. But we can’t tell you all our trade secrets so check this one out for now!
What’s your favourite software that you use to search for #hashtags? Let us know in the comments below!
Evolve in the world of emojis
We often use emojis in our daily and personal posts but even if you don’t now’s the time to start incorporating them. 👍 (just like this) They can be a creative way to visually represent all kinds of feelings and emotions and can help you connect with your target audience. According to WordStream emojis in a tweet can increase your engagement by 25.4% and emojis in a Facebook post can increase the number of likes by 57% and even the number of comments and shares by 33%! So come on, what are you waiting for!
But with over 2,600 emojis, how are you supposed to know which emojis work best? According to a study from HubSpot, which looked at 19,617,281 posts across Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Google Plus and Instagram, they found the following: most popular emojis, emojis that increase engagement and emojis most-likely to encourage click-through.
Most popular emojis
These emojis are popular across all five social media platforms, according to HubSpot.
Emojis most likely to increase engagement
Emojis most likely to encourage click-through
Emojis have the ability to make your brand seem more transparent and fun, but remember it’s important not to over use them.
It’s a well-known fact that including visuals in social media posts is a fantastic way to draw attention, more engagement and promote more social sharing. Including visuals in your posts increases the reader’s willingness to read by 80%. Most people are visual and respond better to graphics, videos and photography but it can’t just be any old piece of marketing material…it’s always better to provide readers with custom-made visuals, allowing them to get to know the company and your brand personality. So remember, text does not always do the trick!
Ask for reader response
If you want to reach the ultimate in engaging social media posts, look no further than conversation starters. Everything from caption contests, calls for user-generated photos, videos or personal opinion posts can be a fantastic way to start a conversation and get your social media page popping. Do you agree?! 😉
One of the biggest mistakes businesses make with their social media is posting too intermittently. In order to attract new followers and potential clients, you need to show your audience that your account is active, relevant and listening to their needs. Upload interesting content on a regular basis. There are oodles of websites that allow you to schedule in posts in advance so you don’t have to worry about sending out posts every day. Some of the more popular scheduling websites include Hootsuite, Buffer and TweetDeck.
Your post is ready but do you have any idea how many people will engage? Learning and monitoring the best times to post on social media accounts is another thing to always consider when you want to increase your engagement. So just for you we’re sharing some of the best times to post on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
•The best times to post on Facebook are Wednesday at noon and 2 p.m. and Thursday at 1 and 2 p.m.
•Thursday is the best day to post on Facebook in the week.
•The safest times to post include weekdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
•Saturday has the least amount of engagement for Facebook in the week.
•Evenings and early mornings have the least amount of engagement in the day.
Facebook prioritises “new” content and does not want to overwhelm users with just one company in their feed, which is why companies are advised to publish between two and five posts per week, according to HubSpot.
•The best times to post on Instagram are on Monday and Thursday, at any time other than 3-4pm.
•The safest times to post to Instagram are Tuesday through Friday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
•Sunday is the least engaging day for Instagram.
Many major brands post an average of 1.5 times per day and there is no decrease in engagement for posting more, so anything between 1 and 3 posts per day will work well.
•The best time and day to post on Twitter is Friday 9 to 10 a.m.
•The safest times to post Tweets are everyday 10 a.m. to noon.
•Sunday mornings receive the least amount of engagement.
Twitter is still a chronological social network, which means, the more you post, the more visibility your post is going to get. | <urn:uuid:d264b098-1bc5-4e03-a6dc-9a1e48b08fb5> | CC-MAIN-2018-30 | http://www.montagecomms.com/is-your-content-engaging-enough/ | 2018-07-17T07:56:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-30/segments/1531676589618.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20180717070721-20180717090721-00255.warc.gz | en | 0.934366 | 1,325 |

THE CREATIVE FIRE Cover Art Unveiled
A few thoughts to pass along for those that enjoy peeking behind the curtain:
When you’re an illustrator creating a cover for a book, you’re working to connect a story with its audience. You're trying to help books land in homes and hands (both traditional and virtual) where they will be adored and appreciated. But every once in a while, an artist is fortunate to have the opportunity to possibly connect a story with not just an audience, but a moment in time.
When I was illustrating this cover, I wanted to bring Brenda's heroine Ruby to life, but there was an opportunity to push beyond just a character portrait.
Our news and social feeds record the weekly (sometimes daily) attacks on womens' rights -- upon the issues of reproductive rights, access to health care, equal pay and support in situations of domestic abuse. This stuff isn't speculative fiction. It's the world we live in, and I think, especially in America, we're in a very fragile time regarding all of our fundamental rights, not just for womens' rights but for all civil liberties -- whether you be man, woman, or child.
The answers for most cover art questions are often right there in the manuscript, but sometimes a manuscript intersects with the world in which it's birthed, and a character has the chance to transcend the bounds of the pages. THE CREATIVE FIRE will be marketed to an adult sf/f audience, but there's a part of me that wonders what happens when teenage girls read this, and if the book might influence them even more because of their formative age. I look forward to both adult and teenage audiences finding this one.
So this cover is dedicated not just to mothers and daughters, but freedom fighters with tomorrow in their hands.
I see Ruby as a futuristic Rosie the Riveter, but this time, she’s not waiting until the men come home. I see her as Diana of war, and the birth of Venus.
She’s a call-to-arms to be strong and vigilant. She’s a revolution-in-the-making. She's more than meets the eye.
In short, she's probably not what you think she is on first glance -- she’s a girl with a microphone.
Today is July 4th -- our American day of celebrating independence and revolution -- a day in 2012 when our rights to live freely are, frankly, in a dangerous place. My hope though, is that our world is full of Rubys. | <urn:uuid:d5ba0a81-9168-40e8-ad75-1376d2687e67> | CC-MAIN-2016-22 | http://picacio.blogspot.com/2012/07/here-you-go-for-first-time-anywhere.html | 2016-05-31T03:49:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-22/segments/1464051165777.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20160524005245-00212-ip-10-185-217-139.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.95737 | 536 |

Tang, ZH, Ma, XF, Li, X & Zhang, H 2012, 'Closure projects of Heshan Coal Mine, Guangxi, China', in AB Fourie & M Tibbett (eds), Mine Closure 2012: Proceedings of the Seventh International Conference on Mine Closure
, Australian Centre for Geomechanics, Perth, pp. 329-340, https://doi.org/10.36487/ACG_rep/1208_30_Tang
Heshan Coal Mine is the largest coal production base in Guangxi Autonomous Region. It was established in 1905. With over 100 years of coal mining history but no proper environmental protection measures, Heshan Area has been suffering serious environmental problems, such as land destruction, physical stability problem, subsidence, underground water pollution and soil contamination, etc. In 2000 the mine was declared off limits for exploitation due to exhaustion of coal resources.
Based on a detailed investigation and environmental assessment, a variety of technical methods and projects as follows have been and will continue to be adopted to restore the environment of Heshan Coal Mine Area:
GD06 rock pile will be converted into a part of Heshan National Mine Park to provide a more beautiful and comfortable environment for local residents. This area which covers an area of 0.144 km2 is composed of several waste rock piles. The part work that has been completed includes retaining wall, tree planting, and paths, drain ditches and viewing platforms construction.
Hongshui Riverside will be changed into a construction land and entertainment place. The main problem in this area is mine pits and landscape destruction along the Hongshui Riverside due to the long history of mining. On the one hand, the mine pits has been backfilled to increase the land for civil engineering. On the other hand, some viewing platforms have been built along the river to improve the surrounding landscape.
Dongkuang Area will be changed into the main part of Heshan National Mine Park. Most mining relics such as mining facilities, equipment and office buildings of Heshan Coal Mine are kept there. The project includes restoring the damaged buildings and equipment, greening the GD01 rock pile and developing underground mining experience area.
Monitoring Project: the monitoring project will be distributed in GD06 rock pile, Hongshui riverside and Dongkuang area. It is planned to test the effect of the projects and to provide basis for follow-up projects through monitoring the deformation of the architectural construction. This project will last for 10 years.

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD); Treatment.
GERD is treated in a stepwise approach. By working closely with your health care professional, finding the right course of action can lead to an improved quality of life. For mild cases, those with infrequent symptoms, you may only need to change your diet and avoid certain activities and over-the-counter medications. For more persistent symptoms, such as daily heartburn or symptoms that occur at night, you may need a prescription medication. Anti-reflux surgery can be a reasonable alternative to a lifetime of medication and discomfort, especially if the condition is caught when you're relatively young.
Surgery may also be considered when medications don't work.
The cornerstone for all GERD treatments begins with lifestyle changes. The key to these changes requires understanding what triggers and activities are contributing to your symptoms.
If you are having symptoms of GERD, the following can help:
Avoid foods and drinks that trigger relaxations of the lower esophageal sphincter.
Lose weight if you are overweight. Obesity may contribute to GERD because the extra weight increases the pressure on your stomach and the lower esophageal sphincter, allowing reflux.
Avoid lying down after eating a meal or snack for at least two to three hours. Go for a walk after a meal. Not only will this help prevent GERD symptoms, but it also burns extra calories.
Avoid common food triggers such as fatty or fried foods, like fried chicken, cream sauces, mayonnaise or ice cream. Other problem foods to avoid include mints, chocolate, alcohol, coffee, tea, sodas, citrus fruits and tomatoes. These foods relax the lower esophageal sphincter muscle, allowing stomach contents to wash back up, or their acidity can irritate the lining of the esophagus.
Stop smoking. Smoking damages the digestive system and, some studies find, relaxes the lower esophageal sphincter. Smoking may also reduce the amount of bicarbonate in saliva, thus reducing its ability to protect the esophagus from stomach acid. However, some nicotine replacement therapies (nicotine patch, nicotine gum) can cause indigestion, stomach pain and vomiting. Discuss possible side effects of these products with your health care professional before using them.
Avoid tight clothing around your abdomen, such as girdles, tight jeans and elastic waist bands, which can increase pressure on your stomach and lower esophageal sphincter.
Elevate the head of your bed six to eight inches or sleep on a wedge pillow to help gravity move the acid reflux back into the stomach.
Don't bend over after eating. Instead, bend at your knees if you have to pick something up, and avoid exercises that require you to bend at your waist. Additionally, avoid exercising after a heavy meal.
Check your medications. Certain medications may make your symptoms worse. These include theophylline, hormones such as progesterone, calcium channel blockers, alpha blockers and beta blockers, and anticholinergic drugs, which can be present in medications used to treat Parkinson's, asthma and certain over-the-counter cold preparations. If you think a medication you're taking might be contributing to your symptoms, check with your health care professional about alternatives.
Your health care professional may want to treat your GERD with medications. You may have to take these drugs for the rest of your life or just for a short period of time.
Be patient; finding the right medication and dosing schedules may take time. If symptoms persist while taking medication or if they return after you stop taking them, consult your health care professional. If symptoms of GERD occur during pregnancy, consult with your obstetrician before taking any medications.
Here's an overview of the most common medications used in the treatment of GERD:
These products can help with mild and infrequent symptoms. They work by neutralizing stomach acid. Antacids are typically fast acting and can be taken as needed. Because they also short acting, they don't prevent heartburn and are less useful for frequent symptoms. Typical antacid medications include the following:
Most antacids contain either calcium carbonate (Tums, Rolaids, Mylanta, Maalox) or magnesium hydroxide (Phillips Milk of Magnesia). Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) can also relieve indigestion.
Antacids can interfere with how well your body absorbs other medications, so if you are taking any medications, check with your health care professional before you start using antacids.
Ideally, you should take the antacid at least two to four hours after you take other medications to reduce the chance it won't be fully absorbed. People with high blood pressure should avoid antacids with high amounts of sodium, such as Gaviscon.
Finally, antacids are not a good option to heal erosive esophagitis, which should be treated with other medications.
These drugs work by decreasing the amount of acid your stomach produces and are available in both prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) doses. Typically, the prescription form is a larger dose and may benefit some people who can't find relief with over-the-counter preparations. Combining an acid reducer and lifestyle changes often helps.
There are two types of acid reducers: "H2-blockers" and proton pump inhibitors. Typical H2-blockers include the following:
nizatidine (also known as Axid, Axid AR)
famotidine (also known as Pepcid, Pepcid AC)
cimetidine (also known as Tagamet, Tagamet HB)
ranitidine (also known as Zantac, Zantac GELdose)
Proton pump inhibitors are also acid reducers but are much more powerful than the H2-blockers. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are the most commonly prescribed class of medications for treating heartburn and acid reflux disease. One PPI, Prilosec, is also available in an over-the-counter formulation.
These drugs work by blocking acid production in the cells lining the stomach and can reduce the amount of stomach acid as much as 95 percent. They don't work as quickly as antacids, but they can prevent reflux symptoms for many hours.
These drugs are also used to treat esophageal inflammation (esophagitis) and esophageal erosions. Studies find that the majority of patients with esophagitis who use them heal after six to eight weeks. Typical medications include the following:
lansoprazole (also known as Prevacid)
omeprazole (also known as Prilosec)
rabeprazole (also known as AcipHex)
pantoprazole (also known as Protonix)
esomeprazole (also known as Nexium)
omeprazole + sodium bicarbonate (Zegerid)
People with liver conditions should consult their physicians before taking these drugs.
These drugs work by tightening the lower esophageal sphincter, which helps prevent acid from washing back up into the esophagus. They also slightly increase the contractions of the esophagus and the stomach to help empty the stomach faster. Prokinetic agents include metoclopramide (also known as Reglan), bethanechol (Duvoid) and tegaserod (Zelnorm). These medications can be useful as additional therapy in some people with GERD but shouldn't be used alone.
This drug coats the lining of the esophagus and helps protect the lining from stomach acid. It may be used in pregnant women, those who cannot tolerate acid reducers or in combination with other drugs. Very little of this drug is actually absorbed into the body. You should take any other medications at least one hour prior to sucralfate because it may interfere with the absorption of other drugs. Prolonged use may interfere with absorption of essential vitamins (K, A, D and E). If you are taking a blood-thinning medication such as Coumadin, use this medication with caution.
Surgery is considered an alternative to medical therapy for GERD. The best candidates for surgery are young patients (because they would otherwise require long-term treatment) with typical GERD symptoms (heartburn and regurgitation) who respond to medical therapy but who are seeking alternatives to taking daily medications. Those with unusual symptoms or symptoms that don't respond to medication should only consider surgery if there is no doubt about the diagnosis of GERD, and there is a clearly documented link between symptoms and reflux based on testing.
Fundoplication is the most common surgery used. This surgery reinforces the lower esophageal sphincter by wrapping the top of the stomach around the lower esophageal sphincter. One advantage is that a hiatal hernia can be corrected at the same time. Surgery is not always successful, and many patients still require some form of medication. There can also be significant complications during or immediately after surgery, including bleeding, bowel obstruction, infection, muscle spasms after eating food, pain and even death. Other long-term complications include difficulty swallowing (if the "wrap" is too tight) as well as bloating (due to the inability to belch air).
New techniques using endoscopy are being developed and in some cases, used, but the safety and effectiveness of these alternatives are still under investigation.

You don't need to know exact iPhone or iPod sales to know Apple has a lot of money. Even the least economically focused person on earth knows the company is rich. But the comparisons are just staggering.
Prior to the debt ceiling being raised, there was a lot of media attention surrounding the fact that the company had a higher cash balance than the U.S. government – with $76.2 billion in hand vs. the government's $73.8 billion. Now it's aiming higher.
CNBC reports that thanks to recent stock fluctuations, the tech company is now worth as much as Europe's 32 biggest banks – combined.
The financial institutions, which include Germany's Deutsche Bank and Italy's Unicredit, had a total market capitalization of $340 billion – the same as Apple's.
Of course, none of this is permanent (well, let's hope not!). And the ties to the entertainment world are pretty loose (though Apple certainly wouldn't be in this position if it hadn't made a major shift into the entertainment space 10 years ago). Still, it's a good illustrative point of how powerful the company has become in a short period of time.
And it sure makes you wish you'd invested in Apple in the late 1980s, when the stock hovered between $2 and $11 per share. | <urn:uuid:f500e279-9c18-4de1-9fee-52c0a46b0e16> | CC-MAIN-2016-22 | http://variety.com/2011/digital/news/all-hail-our-new-apple-overlords-31525/ | 2016-06-01T08:13:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-22/segments/1464056639771.99/warc/CC-MAIN-20160524022359-00072-ip-10-185-217-139.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.971958 | 271 |
Hospice NZ is the national organisation representing all hospice services throughout the country.
What is hospice?
Many people think of hospice services as just a building, when in fact it is a philosophy of care. It is true that most hospice services in New Zealand have inpatient facilities, but the majority of people are cared for in their homes.
Anyone living with a life limiting condition – e.g. heart failure, motor neurone disease, MS or cancer – can access and benefit from hospice services.
Our aim is to help people make the most of their lives; to live every moment in whatever way is important to them.
Hospice New Zealand is the national organisation representing all hospice services in the country.
Hospice services provide care for people with a life limiting condition whilst also supporting their family and whanau both before and after a death.

Republicans are not just making it harder to vote—they’re making it easier for judges and state legislatures to reverse the results of elections they have lost. Congressional action could block these changes—but that requires filibuster reform, and Joe Manchin says he won’t vote for filibuster reform. What does Joe Manchin want? John Nichols comments.
Also: Amy Wilentz comments on the earthquake in Israeli politics: the end of Bibi Netanyahu, after 12 years as Prime Minister, and a new governing coalition that includes for the first time in Israeli history and an Israeli Palestinian Islamist party as part of the government. Amy, who was Jerusalem bureau chief for The New Yorker, talks about what this might mean for Palestinians inside Israel, and on the West Bank and in Gaza. 6-9-2021
What does Joe Manchin want? Doesn’t he want Democrats to have equal voting rights? Without filibuster reform, Republican attacks on voting will broaden. Alan Minsky explains: he’s Executive Director of Progressive Democrats of America.
Plus the earthquake in Israeli politics: Amy Wilentz comments on the end of Bibi Netanyahu, after 12 years as Prime Minister, and on the new governing coalition that includes for the first time in Israeli history an Israeli Palestinian Islamist party as part of the government. Amy, who was Jerusalem bureau chief for The New Yorker, will talk about what this might mean for Palestinians inside Israel, and on the West Bank and in Gaza.
Also: TV talk with Ella Taylor, who reviews “Lupin,” the French comic heist series about a sort of Robin Hood who’s a Black immigrant, reckoning with racism in France and the country’s legacy of plunder. Season two opens Friday on Netflix. 6-11-2021
White Politics and Black History in Tulsa: David Perry on the Massacre Commemoration, plus Katha Pollitt on Advice for Men
Joe Biden went to Tulsa on Tuesday to commemorate the fact that, 100 years ago this week, in 1921, a white mob attacked an all-Black neighborhood there–one of the worst episodes of racial violence in U.S. history. Historians think it left 300 dead and 10,000 homeless. David M. Perry comments on the political issues around the historical facts — he’s a journalist and historian whose work has appeared in The New York Times, The Atlantic, The Guardian, The Washington Post, and The Nation.
Plus: Katha Pollitt talks about a new book of advice for men – Jordan Peterson’s “Rules” start with “stand up straight, with your shoulders back.” 6-2-2021
Progressives and Biden: the threat of a bipartisan “compromise” on infrastructure; Biden’s ‘American Families Plan,” $1.8 Trillion for workers, students and families, financed through higher taxes on the wealthiest Americans—and healthcare reform, which will pass only with filibuster reform in the senate. Plus: Enbridge Line 3, the tar sands pipeline through northern Minnesota, will face nonviolent direct action protests this Monday, organized by the Treaty People Gathering.
Also: White politics and Black history in Tulsa: historian David Perry talks about the 1921 Tulsa race massacre and how it was covered up, as a “riot,” for most of the century.
And more on Tulsa: our critic Ella Taylor talks about documentaries about the events there—on PBS and the Nat Geo channel, as well as on the History channel. Plus: highlights of Pride month on TV. 6-3-2021
Democrats, Israel, and Palestine: John Nichols, plus Robin D.G. Kelley on “Exterminate All the Brutes”
While Joe Biden has pledged an “ironclad commitment to Israel’s security,” many Democrats in Congress, and outside of Congress, have been moving away from unquestioning support for Israel since the Israeli attacks on Gaza last week. John Nichols reports.
Plus: It’s probably the most radical show that’s ever been on TV: Exterminate All the Brutes, the 4-part, 4-hour documentary about colonialism and genocide, by Raoul Peck, playing now on HBO Max. Historian Robin D.G. Kelley comments. 5-26-2021
A group of moderate Republicans led by Mitt Romney are offering Joe Biden a bipartisan compromise on infrastructure-one trillion that would fund traditional roads and bridges, leaving out all of his proposals for a Green New Deal. Will he go for it? Harold Meyerson comments.
Also: As many Democrats urge Biden to take steps toward self-determination for Palestinians, Adam Shatz recalls the life and work of Edward Said, the most prominent voice of Palestinians in America until his death in 2003.
Plus: we celebrate Bob Dylan’s 80th birthday with Ella Taylor by watching “Don’t Look Back,” the wonderful 1967 documentary by D.A. Pennebaker, about Dylan’s 1965 tour of England. 5-27-2021
Palestinians’ “Second Front’ Inside Israel: Saree Makdisi, plus Eric Foner on “The Underground Railroad”
Palestinians and Israel: Saree Makdisi talks about what Netanyahu has called “the second front”: Palestinian citizens of Israel, who are increasingly subject to attack by right-wing Jewish mobs, and who are increasingly active in support of Palestinians in East Jerusalem and Gaza (photo at right). Saree is a professor of English and comparative literature at UCLA and his work has appeared in the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Guardian, and the London Review of Books, as well as The Nation.
Also: The big TV event of the month-—maybe of the year—is The Underground Railroad, a ten-part series on Amazon Prime Video, directed by Barry Jenkins and based on the Colson Whitehead novel. It’s being called “the most ambitious take on American slavery since Roots”—and that was on TV almost 40 years ago. Eric Foner comments on the imagined and real history in the series; he wrote the book on the hidden history of the underground railroad: it’s called Gateway to Freedom. 5-19-2021
Shifts Among Dems on Israel: Harold Meyerson; Palestinians Inside Israel: Saree Makdisi; “The Underground Railroad”: Ella Taylor
Harold Meyerson talks about breakthroughs in the House and the Senate on Palestinian human rights–including a Senate letter from Dems initiatied by Jon Ossoff. Also: remember Jared Kushner’s mideast peace plan?
Plus: The Palestinians’ ‘Second Front,” inside Israel: Saree Makdisi explains the roles of Palestinian citizens of Israel in the current crisis.
Also: our TV Critic Ella Taylor talks about “Crime of the Century,” the new Alex Gibney documentary on HBO about how Big Pharma pushed Oxycontin, which has killed half a million Americans. 5-19-2021
Rachel Kushner: “Apartheid, and the constant violence and humiliation that is enacted by Israel to maintain that apartheid, is never peaceful.”
read our interview about her visit to the Shuafat refugee camp, in Jerusalem, at TheNation.com, HERE
Conflict between Israel and Palestine has been escalating this week. For this podcast we have two segments about Palestinians; neither is about the current crisis, which changes daily. Rachel Kushner visited a Palestinian refugee camp in 2016 – Shuafat, the only one inside Jerusalem – alongside a community organizer as he tried to solve massive problems. Her report, published originally in the New York Times Magazine, appears in her new book of nonfiction, “The Hard Crowd.”
And Adam Shatz talks about Edward Said, the leading voice of Palestinians in the US before he died in 2010. Said was also The Nation’s classical music critic, and Adam Shatz, now an editor for the London Review of Books, was The Nation’s literary editor–his work included editing Edward Said’s pieces for the magazine. 5-12-2021 | <urn:uuid:d3872f10-590a-49a6-8774-28afd28ccaec> | CC-MAIN-2021-25 | https://jonwiener.com/ | 2021-06-18T21:28:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-25/segments/1623487641593.43/warc/CC-MAIN-20210618200114-20210618230114-00251.warc.gz | en | 0.929063 | 1,719 |

Abstract: In this talk, we prove the invariance of the Gibbs measure for the three-dimensional cubic nonlinear wave equation, which is also known as the hyperbolic \Phi^4_3-model. This result is the hyperbolic counterpart to seminal works on the parabolic \Phi^4_3-model by Hairer ’14 and Hairer-Matetski ’18. In the first half of this talk, we illustrate Gibbs measures in the context of Hamiltonian ODEs, which serve as toy-models. We also connect our theorem with classical and recent developments in constructive QFT, dispersive PDEs, and stochastic PDEs. In the second half of this talk, we give a non-technical overview of the proof. As part of this overview, we first introduce a caloric representation of the Gibbs measure, which leads to an interplay of both parabolic and hyperbolic theories. Then, we discuss our para-controlled Ansatz and a hidden cancellation between sextic stochastic objects. This is joint work with Y. Deng, A. Nahmod, and H. Yue. | <urn:uuid:6ae10b7c-513e-4d97-8672-c0fbd780e400> | CC-MAIN-2023-14 | https://pi.math.cornell.edu/m/node/11105 | 2023-03-28T05:33:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-14/segments/1679296948765.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20230328042424-20230328072424-00342.warc.gz | en | 0.93008 | 246 |
Washington, 13 October 2021 (TDI): The USAID Administrator, Samantha Power, announced that 24 countries joined the Global Methane Pledge, on 12 October. Power also thanked the Climate Envoy, and Frans Timmermans.
NEWS: 24 new countries joined the Global Methane Pledge yesterday with the goal of slashing methane emissions by 30% by 2030 & reducing warming by 0.2°C by 2050. Thanks to @ClimateEnvoy & @TimmermansEU for organizing this critical pledge ahead of #COP26. https://t.co/JzVvMoh0RN
— Samantha Power (@PowerUSAID) October 12, 2021
The Global Methane Pledge was announced at the Major Economies Forum on Energy and Climate. The President of the United States, Joe Biden; and the President of the European Commission, were in charge of its announcement, on 17 September. The date to launch the initiative is at the World Leaders Summit; at the 26th UN Climate Change Conference, in November.
The Special Presidential Envoy for Climate, John Kerry, and European Commission Executive, Frans Timmermans; hosted a virtual Ministerial. Timmermans lead international negotiations on climate. The co-convenors of the Ministerial, and the Executive Director of UN Environment Programme, Inger Anderssen, agreed on different affirmations.
First, they affirmed on the importance of reducing methane emissions. The representatives consider this as the most effective strategy, to reduce global warming in the near future. Also the representatives consider the strategy important to limit warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
The Note also mentions that over 20 philanthropies announced commitments of over 200 million. At first, the initiative had then the support of eight countries. Those were Argentina, Ghana, Indonesia, Iraq, Italy, Mexico, the United Kingdom, and also the US.
MORE COUNTRIES SUPPORT THE PLEDGE
Then other 24 countries announced their incorporation to the Pledge; according to the Note. With their announcements, 9 of the top 20 emitters are participating in the Global Methane Pledge. The Note mentions that those 9 countries, represent 30% of the global methane emissions, and also 60% of the global economy.
The new 24 supporters of the Pledge are Canada, Congo-Brazzavile, Central African Republic, Costa Rica, Cote d’Ivoire, Democratic Republic of Congo, Micronesia, France, Germany, Guatemala, Guinea, Japan, Pakistan, Jordan, Morocco, and Sweden; among others.
COMMITMENT OF THE PLEDGE
Then the note mentions that by joining the Pledge, the countries commit to the collective goal. That goal is to reduce the global methane emissions by 30% from 2020 levels; to 2030. It is also part of the goal to move towards, by using highest tier IPCC, with a focus on high emission sources.
The Note also states that the successful implementation of the Methane Pledge, consists of reducing warming by 2 degrees Celsius, by 2050. The first supporters of the Pledge will also continue to enlist countries to join it. | <urn:uuid:69699c62-83c5-424c-b963-b40fa161278b> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://thediplomaticinsight.com/global-methane-pledge/ | 2021-10-18T22:46:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585215.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20211018221501-20211019011501-00476.warc.gz | en | 0.928452 | 631 |
About this paper
This paper explores the topic of big data and how this “ammunition” is quickly dividing retailers into “the haves” and the “have nots”. Today’s biggest retailers with vast resources can afford to invest in customer intelligence and shopper marketing, resulting in increased basket size, shopping visits and retention over time. But for everyone but the very large retailers, the state of affairs is very unsatisfactory. What does the future hold for independent retailers and wholesalers, and the brand manufacturers that are frustrated by their increasing dependence on the very largest retailers?

Through innovative solutions, SAS helps customers at more than 75,000 sites improve performance and deliver value by making better decisions faster.

Welcome back to this thing that is on the internet. In week one of the Words Good! Read Now! micro-revolution I told you about some truly wonderful articles that touched on a 3D printer that could make prescription drugs (incidentally, now they’re making guns with them, so fuck utopia apparently) a look into a legendary recording studio, and the origin story for Nickelodeon Slime. This week there is more brilliance that I have found, more magical stories I wish to share with you — you lucky people!
As always though (and also for the second time ever), we begin with a sexy sexy declarative statement: We do this because we love writers and we love words and if 100 of you read this and go read these articles and then maybe some of you recommend those articles… well, then that will be a decent amount of people reading these things. Blah, blah, blah — Words Good! Read Now!
First up, Rob Lammle tells us about an Indiana Jones movie that would have made Crystal Skull look profound — that’s right, Indiana Jones and the Monkey King. Check out the article on Mental Floss here.
Two articles from Film School Rejects make the cut this week, the first from James Broderick, the author of “Now a Terrifying Motion Picture!: Twenty-Five Classic Works of Horror Adapted From Book to Film,” Mr. Broderick takes an excerpt from his book and tells us all about the origins of the classic horror film, Freaks. If you’re a horror fan or a cult movie fan you must read this article.
The second FSR article comes from David Christopher Bell and it reflects on 7 movies that have had to be altered in response to a tragedy. You can read it here.
While we’re here, I want to recommend this article, written by AJ Focht. AJ was in theater 9 in Aurora and he has been personally touched by this tragedy. This is the first of a 3 part series of articles that Mr. Focht is writing about the media, political, and societal response to the Aurora Tragedy with an on-the-ground perspective. In this article, Mr. Focht takes the press to task and what he reveals about their conduct will infuriate and disgust. This is an important story written with uncompromising truth and clarity in the midst of personal duress — this is the pick of the week. Click here to read the article on the Suicide Girls Blog.
Bryan Whitefield does a splendid write up detailing the rock-doc Shut Up and Play the Hits, which was produced by Adam Yauch (aka MCA from the Beastie Boys, and I really hope you already knew that). The doc details LCD Soundsystems final show at Madison Square Garden. A doc about a concert should feel like a grainy xerox and an article about the doc that is about the concert should be almost indecipherable from the original, but Mr. Whitefield pays tribute to the film and paints a portrait so vivid that you think you are actually watching the film. Check that out on Prefix Magazine’s website.

Tuesday’s Top Tasty Tracks
THE TOP FOUR BRAND NEW TRACKS FROM OCTOBER 9TH-15TH.
I’ve got three bouncy tracks and one bonecrusher to keep you warm.
Breath – Hold Close
Though Hold Close has been really good on the past couple releases, this song is a huge step forward. “Breath” is beautiful, a calm, emotional song that builds excellently. The chorus carries serious weight as the melody writing shines through. Marked well by some great harmonies and strings, Breath just might be the best song they’ve released, and it definitely proves they’ve got more up their sleeve than initially thought.
Genre: Alternative Rock
Break Hearts – Swear Jar
Vancouver locals Swear Jar definitely lean heavily into the punk side of the pop-punk, with one of their monikers being “too punk to be pop-punk.” Regardless of if you believe that statement is true or not, what’s unmistakable is this song is great. The production is a little muddy, lending itself further to the punk and DIY sound, and it works well, especially in a scene with so many polished bands. Clocking in at just over two minutes, this song gets in and gets out, and it’ll leave you wanting to go back to listen again and again. Keep both eyes on this band as they’re poised to make great music.
Consequence – Bodysnatcher
The sub-subgenre of Beatdown is definitely hit or miss, and this one hits. Hard. This song has topnotch production and is well written. Bodysnatcher proves on “Consequence” why they deserve attention in this scene, arguably a continuous breakdown that is heavier than anything most bands put out their entire careers. The closing breakdown is insane and gives enough variety that the whole song doesn’t blend together. For fans of the genre, Bodysnatcher proves it’s not going away anytime soon.
Genre: Beatdown Metalcore
Disconnected – Sleep On It
While plenty of pop-punk bands are abandoning the sound that made them blow up in the first place, Sleep On It have chosen to stay the course, and its clearly the right decision. This song, while in the same sound and genre, is distinct enough from their previous album to satisfy fans that want more of the same and fans that want something a little different. Zech’s voice continues to be one of the most unique in the genre, causing them to stand out in a sea of copycats. What stands out on this song is an extremely strong chorus, showcasing the best parts of what the band has to offer. Incredibly accessible and musically creative, Sleep On It are a band for everyone.
Thanks for checking out another post about incredible new music. Remember, it doesn’t matter what you like, as long as you support it.

If you came to our free patient seminar last month where we talked about XTRAC, then you may be excited to get started on this unique drug for psoriasis. However, if you were unable to attend it, we have still got your back. Let’s go over some of the benefits of XTRAC so that you can decide if it’s something that you want to look a little bit more into.
What Is It?
First things first, you may be wondering what on earth XTRAC is. XTRAC is a laser treatment that uses an excimer laser to attack the DNA in the T-Cells. By breaking up the T-Cells, it helps to shorten the amount of time that you have an outbreak for. So, if you are used to having long bouts of psoriasis or other skin disease, you can shorten that outbreak time and have more time enjoying clear skin.
What Is It Used For?
As previously mentioned, XTRAC is used to treat psoriasis, but it has also been used to treat vitiligo for years and years as well. Another thing it can be used for is certain types of dermatitis, but the best way for us to determine whether or not it’s the right treatment for your skin condition is to come into our office for a consultation appointment.
What are the benefits?
XTRAC is currently one of the best ways to treat symptoms of psoriasis quickly and effectively. If you feel like you have used cream upon cream without ever getting rid of your symptoms, then XTRAC is definitely worth giving a try because it actually works.
If you want to learn more about XTRAC, contact our Phoenix office today and call us at (480) 610-6366. | <urn:uuid:b314ff9a-e23e-4859-8cf7-b0924f8cfacb> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://stocktondermatology.com/why-you-may-want-to-consider-xtrac/ | 2022-01-28T00:12:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320305317.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20220127223432-20220128013432-00487.warc.gz | en | 0.948548 | 369 |

Escape the Dark Castle
The Game of Atmospheric Adventure
Escape the Dark Castle is a simple, fantasy adventure game for 1-4 players, with a focus on atmosphere, storytelling and player cooperation– perfect for newcomers to tabletop gaming. It takes 2 minutes to set up, lasts around 30 minutes, and no two games are ever the same.
Players take the roles of prisoners on a quest to Escape the Dark Castle, and must work together to overcome its many horrors, traps, and challenges – each of which is represented by a large, beautifully illustrated chapter card.
As these immersive chapter cards are revealed one by one, the game takes on the form of a shared storybook experience, with the players making decisions about what to do each chapter before using dice and item cards to try and keep everyone in the group alive!
Can YOU escape the dark?
For Fortune And Glory!
You are a rogue archaeologist, traveling the world for history’s lost artifacts.

In Curios, players acquire artifacts from various treasure sites without knowing their worth. Using the cards in your hand and those revealed by the others, you can deduce the possible value of your artifacts, allowing you to focus your efforts on the more profitable ventures.
Curios is a game of worker placement, deduction, and bluffing like no other. This simple and intuitive game is quick to learn and even quicker to play!

Star Wars Legion: Taun Taun Riders Unit Expansions
On an icy planet like Hoth, even the most advanced technology can’t save you from the subzero temperatures. The Rebel Alliance learned this lesson well when they had difficulty operating their repulsorlift speeders on the frigid planet. In their place, the Rebels turned to creatures naturally suited to roaming the windswept plains of Hoth: Tauntauns.
These sure-footed snow lizards can swiftly navigate the treacherous environments common to the backwater planets where the Alliance hides its bases, making Tauntauns perfect for patrol duty around Echo Base and beyond.
Star Wars Legion: Rebel Veterans Unit Expansion
Take your Star Wars: Legion battles to the frigid plains of Hoth with the seven unique, highly detailed miniatures contained in this expansion! Five Rebel Veterans with A-280 blaster rifles are prepared to make the Empire pay dearly for any ground it gains while a CM-O/93 Trooper is ready to stop an Imperial unit in its tracks.

Star Trek: Chrono-Trek
In this game, you become a Star Trek character trapped in an alternate reality. A special grid of 36 cards is displayed in the center of the table, representing the current state of the Timeline of Star Trek history. Other cards include important Artifacts (such as Tribbles or the Guardian of Forever) and Inverters, which ripple reality and change the outcome of pivotal events. Your secret ID card tells you what parts of the Timeline you must change — or preserve — in order to win. But watch out for Q… he might just erase all of reality!
Dude and More Dude
It’s a game where you say “dude”.
The goal is to quickly find matches for as many of your cards as you can.
To play, you say the word “dude” as you think it should be said, based on how it appears on your card. At the same time, listen to how the other players are saying the word “dude”. The person who gets the most correct matches is the winner!
Oh, and More Dude?
It’s another game where you say “dude”.

As expected, Sony Ericsson unveiled a number of suitably eye-catching Android handsets, including the PlayStation branded Xperia Play, at the MWC. However, there was a glaring omission in its lineup. In a year in which every other company is busy announcing new tablets (mostly powered by Android), Sony didn’t even mention the T-word. However, that doesn’t mean that they don’t have something cooking for us tablet aficionados.
Engadget has learnt that Sony is busy customizing Android Honeycomb’s interface for a tablet that is being internally called the S1. According to its sources, the S1 might very well be the best looking thing Sony has ever produced. Unlike other tablets in the market, the S1 will feature a “wrap” design that mimics an open paperback book. Sony hopes that this design innovation will make the tablet more personal besides making typing on the keyboard and consuming multimedia content easier.
The S1 is expected to feature a 9.4″ display with a resolution of 1280×800 px, and will be powered by nVidia’s Tegra 2 chip. Engadget has also confirmed that it will be PlayStation certified. Besides that it will include a Bravia media remote, an IR port, and come preloaded with PSX (PlayStation One) games. The tablet will also heavily leverage Sony’s Qriocity, which is a streaming music, games, e-books and video on demand service.
While nothing is set in stone yet, Engadget believes that the Wi-Fi version of the tablet will cost $599, and is expected to ship in September. | <urn:uuid:95b26af9-7096-4103-b15d-30cfc7a860e5> | CC-MAIN-2017-09 | http://techie-buzz.com/gadgets-news/sony-s1-android-honeycomb-tablet-playstation.html | 2017-02-22T01:36:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-09/segments/1487501170875.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20170219104610-00613-ip-10-171-10-108.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.950448 | 348 |
13th June 2018 - Magda Gudmundsdottir
Magda, from our Birmingham shop, tells us why this story of family, growing up and loss is one not to miss.
Meet the Telemachus Family, an eccentric stage act family of psychics. After being humiliated and discredited on television in the 1970s life becomes a challenge and nothing is ever the same again. However, this story begins in the 1990s; the family is still struggling after the death of mother Maureen, and various financial crises loom over them, when 14-year-old Matty discovers he may have magic of his own.
The strength of this book is in its characters. Each one feels carefully sculpted with details and characteristics that bring them to life and make them relatable. To name just a couple of my favourites, there is Frankie, who is always looking for his next money-making scheme. Then there is Irene, who has stepped into her mother's shoes and takes care of the family, but sometimes wishes someone would take care of her, and, of course, charming and stylish Teddy, who hasn't given up on love and likes a woman who knows how to accessorize.
The magical elements of this book are wonderful and unique but ultimately this is a story about family, growing up and loss. The writing is effortlessly original and at times painfully insightful. Whatever you do, don't miss Spoonbenders. | <urn:uuid:cd179605-a5de-4bf8-939b-5d97e275564d> | CC-MAIN-2018-39 | http://foyles.co.uk/Public/Biblio/Detail.aspx?blogId=1657 | 2018-09-23T12:08:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-39/segments/1537267159359.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20180923114712-20180923135112-00547.warc.gz | en | 0.974063 | 293 |

Sex and Prostitution in Warsaw
Prostitution (Prostytucja) in Poland is legal, but operating brothels or other forms of pimping or coercive prostitution and prostitution of minors are prohibited. Whilst the red light area around the train station is rife with unauthorized street prostitutes, the legal stuff takes place in "massage salons" or via escort service agencies.
The research, which refers to "Newsweek" that every fifth student in Poland regularly sells sex, is not completely true. Some of the girls want money directly, but other girls only want a sponsorship, so they can tell themselves that they are not prostitutes.
Finding sex in Warsaw is very easy because there are many brothels, erotic massage parlours, strip clubs and escorts working all over the city. Street prostitution is slowly disappearing from the streets, but it was very active back in 1990s. Sex can be purchased as cheap as 100zl (25€) from the independent escorts, but in the clubs it will cost more. Night clubs are also filled with young beautiful girls who are quite active sexually and open minded. Club Mirage, Club Capitol, Enklawa, Dekada, De Lite Club, Fabryka Trzciny and Klub Kaermel are the best nightclubs in Warsaw and it is hard to leave home from those clubs without a female companion.
- Prostitution is legal in Poland, but operating brothels, pimping, coercive prostitution, the prostitution of minors and living off someone else’s prostitution are all prohibited.
- Prostitutes operating in illegal ‘escort agencies’ or ‘massage parlours’ are breaking the law, those operating independently are not.
- Prostitutes in Poland do not have to pay tax.
- NGOs estimate there are over 18,000 prostitutes in Poland and 15 per cent of these are male.
- A 2009 US Human Rights Report says the police estimate there are 3,300 sex workers in the country.
Warsaw Female Escorts
There are lots of very beautiful escorts in Warsaw.
Red Light Districts
There is no specific Red-light district in Warsaw, but you’ll find a small concentration of brothels around al. Jerozolimskie, ul. Wilcza and ul. Nowogrodzka. They’re simple enough to find, just look for the flyers pinned to car windscreens or clogging up the gutters. Street prostitution, strip clubs and erotic massage parlours are spread across the city and not on one specific area.
Some people also consider that Warsaw's red light district is located around the train station. There are some unauthorized street prostitutes working.
Prostitutes and Sex Workers
Prostitution is present in various forms in the country and a 2007 US State Department report stated that many women who worked as prostitutes were employed in massage parlors and escort services that functioned as brothels, although technically illegal. Prostitution is the only profession in Poland that is not taxed, but sex workers may be asked by authorities to prove that is what they do, since prostitution is not recognized as legitimate work, and therefore receive no social benefits.
Escort Agencies and Brothels in Warsaw can be found in every district. There are approximately 2,000 prostitutes in Warsaw. Most sex workers can be found on the left bank of the river - about 1,700 hookers. On the right side there are far fewer - "only" 200 escorts. Among the left bank districts of Warsaw, "richest" offer is Centre - over 700 whores is working in this area. In second place is taken by Will - nearly 400 prostitutes, and the last stage is one of the infamous podium Mokotowa - 277 escorts.
Average price for one hour meeting with a prostitute in Warsaw is roughly 200 zł (50€). Specials such as two girls cost of 400 - 500 zł (100-125€). For an all-night meeting have to pay from 1500 to 2000 zł (375-500€).
Sex workers in Poland are no longer taxed, but nor are they eligible for any state help. It means that the girls sometimes have to prove what they do for a living to both avoid tax, but also to stop them claiming fraudulent benefits.
For sex tourists to Warsaw, high class sex workers can be found in clubs and restaurants along Nowy Swiat (New World Street) and Chmielna.
Street prostitution was very widespread about 10 years ago in Warsaw. Today the street prostitution (prostytucja uliczna) is not very common in Warsaw as most girls like to work from private flats or brothels. It is mostly drug addicts who you can find selling sex on the streets. However you can still find many gold digger girls from Polish streets.
Streetwalker areas in Warsaw:
- Unauthorized street prostitutes can be found around the train station.

Brothels and Sex Clubs
Those who visited Warsaw in the nineties and around the turn of the century may have lingering memories of a seriously mucky city. With an estimated 1,500 brothels in operation the city established a reputation as a destination for hairy-palmed perverts. Then along came the late Lech Kaczynski as Mayor of Warsaw who became a one man anti-sleaze machine driven by a zealous desire to restore Warsaw’s lost innocence. While he never fully succeeded in cleansing Warsaw of the brothels and the flyers, Kaczynski’s crusade had a striking impact.
One of the results of this campaign is that Warsaw now offers a collection of seemingly legitimate and, on the whole, fairly presentable ‘Gentlemen’s Clubs'. Brothels still exist but not in the huge numbers that they once did. Although there is no specific red light district you’ll find a small concentration of brothels around al. Jerozolimskie, ul. Wilcza and ul. Nowogrodzka. They’re simple enough to find, just look for the flyers pinned to car windscreens or clogging up the gutters. Don’t expect English to be spoken, and don’t reckon on being greeted by the sirens pictured on the aforementioned flyers. Some of the bordellos also offer striptease, bar, swimming pool, sauna, hot tub or massage.
If you have a hard time finding a specific brothel that fits on your price range. Just ask from the taxi driver and tell them how much you are willing to spend for sex and they will take you to the whore house and wait outside while you check out the girls and make decision if you stay or not.
The initial fee per taxi ride in Warsaw is PLN 6, and the maximum per 1 kilometre daytime fare in the urban zone is PLN 3 (there are companies, however, that charge less than PLN 2). The night fare in the urban area and a day fare on Sundays and holidays is PLN 4.50 per km. The fee per 1 hour of waiting for the passenger is PLN 40. So you can even ask driver to wait for you and it will not be very expensive.
Strip Clubs and Striptease
Warsaw and most other big cities in Poland are well known for having great Strip clubs and bars located within the city. Most nude bars in Poland operate also as Brothels and you can have sex with the strippers in the backrooms or at your hotel. Taking girl to your hotel will always cost more unless you are taking the girl home just when the club is closing. To fuck a stripper in the back room of the strip club costs around 200zl to 500zl depending about the club and girl.

Warsaw hosted Poland’s first ever Burlesque Festival in 2015 and is possibly set to continue for years to come. It's not sure if they are planning to have this every year. Their website seems to be not updated though (http://www.polishburlesquefest.com/). There were shows and workshops across the second weekend of September hosted by the Kino Iluzjon, a beautiful old cinema, and the Cafe Iluzja inside. Also some other bars offer burleque shows in Warsaw, for example "Podwale Bar And Books" and a bar called "Lady Mousellyca".

Polish culture also has a long tradition of chivalry and strong, traditional gender roles. That said, in larger cosmopolitan areas, gays and lesbians shouldn't have a hard time fitting in, although trans visitors will immediately attract attention. There are some gay saunas and LGBT bars and clubs in Warsaw.

Despite the relatively organized attitude to prostitution in Poland, sexual health remains a serious issue as the dominance of the Roman Catholic Church still prevents the overt promotion of safe sex.
Warsaw is generally a safe city. The city center has a strong police presence and is generally a very safe area. The Praga districts are reputed to be dangerous, but this is generally more hype than reality.
Violent behaviour is very rare and if it occurs it is most likely alcohol-related and at night. While pubs and clubs are generally very safe, the nearby streets may be scenes of brawls, especially late at night. Try to avoid confrontations. Women and girls are generally less likely to be confronted or harassed since the Polish code of conduct strictly prohibits any type of violence (physical or verbal) against women.

Twilio, Line, Nutanix, Snapchat.
There are more signs every week that tech’s IPO activity could finally pick up again, and the news couldn’t come soon enough for investment bankers.
“From an equity capital markets perspective, it’s been a tough year,” Frank Maturo, UBS’ vice chairman for equity capital markets in the Americas, said in June.
In fact, 2016 has been the worst year for initial public offerings since the height of the financial crisis. There were only 73 IPOs in the first three quarters of the year, according to FactSet. That’s down 45% from last year and the lowest total since 2009.
The tech space was even less active, with only a handful of small companies having gone public so far this year.
JPMorgan, the top bank for equity capital markets revenue in the first nine months of the year, has earned $779 million in revenue, compared with $1.05 billion in the same period last year. Morgan Stanley, in second place, has earned only $590 million, down from $997 million last year.
In August, Gadfly’s Shira Ovide described it as a clog. Now it looks as if the unclogging is about to begin, as all signs point to a much busier market in 2017 and 2018.
For one thing, the pace of IPOs has increased as the year has progressed. While the first quarter of 2016 was particularly devoid of IPOs, with just nine deals, the number of flotations in the third quarter was 16.7% higher than last year, according to FactSet.
Within tech, the deals that have gone public this year have all been successful.
Twilio, the phone and text-message services company that went public in June, is trading up 304% from its $15 IPO price. Line, the Japanese mobile-messaging app that hit the markets in July, is up 45% from its initial $32.84 offer price. Nutanix, the virtualization-software company that started trading on September 30, is up 138% from its $16 initial price. Coupa, the cloud-software company that hit the markets on Thursday, is already trading up 65% from its IPO price of $18.
“I can’t think of one IPO that’s trading down,” one banker told Business Insider.
And it’s not just the small deals that are starting to roll in. Snap Inc., the parent company of Snapchat, is working on an IPO, which could take place as early as March, a deal that could value the photo-sharing company at as much as $25 billion.
“Snapchat’s probably in a position more than other unicorns to address the market sooner rather than later if they want to,” the banker told Business Insider, adding that some larger “unicorn” companies could be looking to go public in the first part of 2017, rather than in the middle of the year “with the rest of the pack.”

Of course banks will be scrambling to get in on the action with Snap, which hasn’t yet picked underwriters. A separate banker told Business Insider that they expect Snap to choose banks by December.
But Snapchat isn’t the only hotly awaited IPO. Okta, the secure-identity-management company, is widely seen as a likely candidate. So are the accounting-software company BlackLine and the performance-Wi-Fi company Quantenna Communications.
As for the larger unicorns, Spotify, Palantir, and Dropbox are other potential contenders, one banker said, while Airbnb and Uber are more likely to go in 2018.
At the end of the third quarter, the six-month pipeline consisted of 30 potential issuers across industries that could raise a combined $5.1 billion in proceeds, according to data from Ipreo.
Here are the top bookrunners that could win big from that backlog.
One thing to bear in mind: There has been a pickup in the number of potential IPOs that end up turning into mergers-and-acquisitions transactions this year. That’s especially the case among sponsor-backed deals.
The security-software company Blue Coat Systems, for example, made its IPO filing public in early June and then days later sold to Symantec. Performance Health, which sold to Patterson Medical in May, was also expected to go public before its takeover, as was TransFirst, which was instead acquired by TSYS in January.
That companies are running “dual-track processes” – that is, both running a sales process while preparing for an IPO – is not new. But the sponsors backing these companies appear to be leaning more toward sales right now, given the uncertainty around things like the upcoming US presidential election, the Federal Reserve’s decisions about interest-rate moves, and the state of the global economy.
- REUTERS/Brendan McDermid
That trend could hold up, even with larger companies that aren’t sponsor-backed. One of the bankers said that even the unicorn companies on deck could be putting the feelers out to gauge for interest from potential acquirers.
“Some are probably trying to put the word out there that they may go public to fish for an M&A bid,” the person said.
But any pickup in activity would be welcome to bankers.
“IPOs are down so much, and block trades and overnight deals are up so much,” Maturo said in June. “That makes it a very tough environment for ECM people or origination people that are going out trying to win business.” | <urn:uuid:3d7517f1-9b9c-4250-ba17-bf92f75aba05> | CC-MAIN-2018-39 | https://www.businessinsider.sg/ipo-turnaround-good-news-for-bankers-2016-10/ | 2018-09-23T23:33:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-39/segments/1537267159938.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20180923232129-20180924012529-00521.warc.gz | en | 0.968659 | 1,217 |

How are proposals selected?
For each dinner event, the DISHES team selects four to seven proposals to present. The DISHES team looks for projects that include: a public component; are well-developed/past the "idea-stage"; will take place in Syracuse, NY; and are scheduled to happen/launch within one year of winning the grant. If you have any questions about your project that you would like to run by us before submitting an application, please email us at firstname.lastname@example.org.
What makes a good project? Can you give me some examples?
A good project is one that uses creativity to engage the community. What’s key is the public component – the grants aren’t meant to pay an individual's rent. If your project will make people pause, think, and feel, chances are it’s a great idea. Just keep in mind that we're not able to fund guerrilla projects. Take a look through our past presentations to see examples.
This is a unique micro-granting process that requires project leaders to present in front of a live audience, so don't forget to think over the presentation aspect of your idea!
I’ve never done anything like this. Can I submit something anyway?
Yes, please! The purpose of this series is to inspire, and support, great ideas from all parts of the Syracuse community. If we select your idea to present we will connect you to our Presentation Coach who can help you feel more comfortable in front of an audience. We release a Request for Proposals each fall, stay tuned to our blog and facebook for more information.
I live in Utica/Ithaca/Rochester/Tully. Am I eligible?
Yes. But your project would need to take place in the city of Syracuse.

Cummings making a splash at FSU Camp
While Florida State holds six commitments, only one has participated in the Bobby Bowden Football Camp through the first four days. That commitment is Titusville (FL) Astronaut's Darious Cummings. While the four-star defensive end arrived a couple days ago, he didn't take the field until Monday afternoon.
"It has been good," Cummings told Warchant.com. "Just working out with Coach Haggins and letting him teach me stuff he wants me to do, like getting in my stance right and just basic technique, footwork, stuff like that."

Niyo: Casey loosens reins so Pistons can let it rain
Detroit — Playground basketball isn’t always pretty. But it’s usually pretty fun.
And if there was a message Dwane Casey wanted to deliver when he called a quick timeout Wednesday night in the Pistons’ season opener, his team looking out of sorts early against the Brooklyn Nets, that was essentially it.
“Yeah, that was the biggest thing,” point guard Reggie Jackson said. “It was, ‘Relax. … Just go out there and play free.”
As free advice goes, that’s more valuable than you might think. Especially for a Pistons team that has spent far too many nights looking — and playing — like a joyless bunch in recent years, particularly in a half-empty home arena with a histrionic coach who wasn’t exactly a glass-half-full guy.
So maybe the most hopeful sign Wednesday night at Little Caesars Arena, beyond the obvious one on the scoreboard after a 103-100 escape against the Brooklyn Nets, was hidden in what nearly became an painful ending. Andre Drummond said he didn’t even realize the Pistons had fallen behind with 4½ minutes left in the fourth quarter after leading by as many as 13 points midway through the third. And that’s mostly because the reaction from Casey on the Pistons’ bench was anything but panicky.
“It was super positive,” said Drummond, who battled foul trouble for most of the second half but finished with 24 points and 20 rebounds in 32 minutes. “He’s a positive guy. He never once said anything negative when things were getting a little shaky. We need that out of a coach.”
And by the sounds of it, that’s all they’ve gotten from Casey since he was hired back in June, replacing Stan Van Gundy as part of an organizational makeover following another losing season.
Casey, the reigning NBA coach of the year with a lengthy, player-friendly track record, most recently in Toronto, didn’t come in promising a culture change. But he did promise a fresh start for the players, and a different approach, with less stress, less structure and decidedly less screaming.
On offense, Casey describes his system as “less play-calling and more playing,” with the Pistons looking to the bench for direction only about 30 percent of the time on offense. Drummond, who actually jacked up three three-point attempts and drained one of them in Wednesday’s victory, explains it this way: “It’s like playground basketball. Playing pick-up, really. Organized pick-up.”
But it’s also about the pick-me-ups on the court, and against the Nets, Casey’s team certainly needed a few.
The Pistons were down two starters even before tipoff, with Stanley Johnson’s preseason toe injury still not fully healed and Reggie Bullock waylaid by an illness Wednesday. That meant rookie second-round pick Bruce Brown, who made a strong impression with his defense in the preseason, was in the starting lineup.
“And if you had told me Bruce Brown would be the opening-night starter …” Casey laughed after the game, not bothering to finish the sentence.
Then came an awful start to the game that included three turnovers on Detroit’s first four possessions, not to mention a long two-point attempt from Drummond that drew a few groans from the crowd still filing in. Before you knew it, the Nets were up 8-0 barely 2½ minutes in and Casey was up off the bench calling timeout. The only thing missing from a year ago was the exasperated body language from the head coach.
“I thought we came out tight, for whatever reason,” Casey said. “Just like we hadn’t seen each other before.”
Instead of yelling, though, he simply reminded them to play the way they’d played in practice and for stretches, at least, in the preseason.
“Just relax,” guard Langston Galloway said, repeating Casey’s words. “Have some fun. Go out there and play.”
Work in progress
So they did, though it never really looked all that easy, as the Pistons struggled to keep Brooklyn’s guards out of the paint and had trouble finding room to launch 3-pointers the way Casey wants this team to this season. Missing Bullock and Johnson played a part in that, as Caris LeVert and Spencer Dinwiddie combined for 50 points and the Pistons shot just 6-for-24 from beyond the arc.
But for a stretch in the third quarter, we saw the promise of a healthy Big Three in Blake Griffin, Drummond and Jackson, as the Pistons broke open the game with a 20-4 run. It started with the big men taking turns cleaning up misses in the paint — “They came out on the glass attacking us, and we just crumbled,” Nets center Jarrett Allen said — and it ended with Jackson draining a 3-pointer off an assist from Griffin, who finished with a game-high 26 points, eight rebounds and six assists.
Drummond described the first quarter as “scary,” while Jackson was “disappointed” with the disjointed play late that nearly gave the game away. But after a final defensive stop that featured Drummond guarding LeVert, Galloway diving down to knock the ball loose and Griffin diving on the floor to help force the turnover, there was relief. And laughter.
“It was a good win — we’ll take it,” Casey said. “That was a theme this summer and this fall — bouncing back, playing through adversity. And our guys did.”
And in the postgame locker room, that’s what he wanted them to remember, above all else.
“We’ve got to have fun, we’ve got to compete and fight for each other, for that guy next to you,” Casey said. “And until we get that 2-by-4 and that weight off our back … again, I haven’t been here, I don’t know what it is. But the teams I’ve been around have fun competing. And I know it’s your job (in the media) to pick out the negatives and all the bad stuff, but I’m telling you: We’re not where we’re gonna be, but I don’t think we’re where we were.” | <urn:uuid:5c30381d-2072-41dc-b2b6-e85b9cace965> | CC-MAIN-2020-45 | https://www.detroitnews.com/story/sports/columnists/john-niyo/2018/10/18/dwane-casey-lets-pistons-express-themselves/1671262002/ | 2020-10-29T09:04:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-45/segments/1603107903419.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20201029065424-20201029095424-00421.warc.gz | en | 0.969056 | 1,413 |

PENGEMBANGAN PERTANIAN DI DAERAH ALIRAN SUNGAI (DAS) MAMBERAMO, IRIAN JAYA (STUDI KASUS DI DABRA, KECAMATAN MAMBERAMO HULU, KABUPATEN JAYAPURA)
Oleh: Suwardi dan Budi Mulyanto (2000)
Irian Jaya is one of Eastern Indonesia province, which needs acceleration for region development. One of potential in that province is Mambaramo valley which has area of 80 thousands meter square. This case study was conducted in Dabra village, MamberamoHuluSubdistrict, Jayapura District. Most information were obtained from field observation. Secondary data were collected from many kinds of maps, such as geological map, land use map, topography map, climate, and hydrologycal map. Primary data covered of soil data taken through profile examination and laboratory analysis of soil sample taken in slope transect from the top to MamberamoRiver. Mamberamo watershed mostly has a type climate, which has more than 9 wet months. The average temperature is 193-27,3oC. Mamberamo watershed is part of NorthernCentralMountain range. The upper of Mamberamo river consists of Edinburg (Taritatu) river in the Eastern and Ruffaer (Tariku) river in the Western. With the consideration of soil, environment, flora, and follows. Region with the altitude of more than 2000 m above sea level, should be used as conservation area due to rich in biodiversity and potential erosion. Agricultural area can be developed in the region with the altitude of less than 1000 above sea levels especially along Mamberamo valley, which still make consideration of specific area biodiversity conservation. | <urn:uuid:a779d2da-0282-4d65-bf9b-18f8a55a6003> | CC-MAIN-2017-04 | http://suwardi-abstrak.blogspot.com/2009/02/pengembangan-pertanian-di-daerah-aliran.html | 2017-01-20T03:40:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-04/segments/1484560280774.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20170116095120-00535-ip-10-171-10-70.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.92842 | 376 |
The man behind the plot was Parviz Khan, 37, an unemployed teaching assistant from Birmingham, who wanted to post a film of the atrocity on the internet to "cause panic and fear within the armed forces and the wider public".
Khan, who has already pleaded guilty at Leicester crown court to his role in the planned beheading, was said to be behind a terror cell and had been under surveillance by the security services.
Nigel Rumfitt QC, prosecuting, said the plotters intended to produce a video showing the soldier's ID card to prove who he was. Khan was "enraged by the idea that Muslim soldiers were in the British army". He decided to kidnap a soldier on a night out, with the help of drug dealers from Birmingham.
In covert recordings Khan, who was given the codename Motorway Madness during surveillance operations, was heard to say: "It would terrorise British soldiers and young Blair is going to go crazy."
Rumfitt said of the beheading plan: "The initial idea was to approach him in Broad Street [Birmingham] and lure him into a car then take him to a lock-up garage and there he would be murdered by having his head cut off 'like a pig'." The court also heard that Khan had mentioned using cocaine to lure the victim.
Khan had approached Gambian Basiru Gassama, 30, to help identify a victim. Gassama had previously pleaded guilty to failing to inform the authorities of the plot but did not take active steps beyond giving the impression that he wanted to help. In November 2006, Khan showed him videos of beheadings to gain his support.
"Mr Khan is at the hub of a terrorist network shipping equipment to Pakistan to be used by extreme jihadists. His co-defendants were all helping him knowing full well what he was up to," Rumfitt said. "Parviz Khan is a fanatic - a man who has the most violent and extreme Islamist views. He is at the centre of a terror cell, or network, based in Birmingham."
The court was told that Khan gathered money and equipment to be sent out to Pakistan and to terrorists operating in and around the Afghan border. He claimed he was helping earthquake victims but the court heard the trips began 10 months before the earthquake in October 2005.
Khan and the defendants actively assisted terrorists who were trying to kill "our soldiers as well as those of our allies in the US and Canada", the court was told.
Rumfitt said equipment sent to Pakistan included night vision apparatus, computer hard drives and range finders.
When Zahoor Iqbal's home was searched, a bag was found with a CD, Encyclopaedia Jihad, the court was told. It contained a US field manual encyclopaedia of war - urban skills, telephone and computer privacy, and electronic, improvised radio detonation. The disc also contained a poisons book with fatal dosage, information about detonations and primers, car bombs, and improvised explosive devices, it was alleged. "The material indicates an unhealthy interest, indeed an obsession with extremism and violence," said Rumfitt.
Iqbal denies possessing a document or record likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism. Amjad Mahmood, 32, from Birmingham, denies knowing about Khan's soldier beheading plot and failing to disclose it to the authorities. Iqbal, 30, and Mahmood also deny engaging in conduct with the intention of assisting in the commission of acts of terrorism .
Rumfitt said: "Mahmood was told of the plot and although it's clear that Khan was serious, neither Gassama nor Mahmood did anything to warn the authorities in order to save a soldier from what would have been a ghastly death." Parviz Khan visited a shipping and freight company in Birmingham during 2005 and 2006 to organise the sending of packages to a village near the Afghanistan border. He claimed the shipments, weighing up to a tonne, were for earthquake victims. Among the items chosen for the illicit trips were split finger gloves, popular with anglers, which snipers would use to keep their hands warm so they could slip their fingers out and shoot accurately.
Iqbal is alleged to have sent more than £12,000 via a cash transfer company in Birmingham to an office in Pakistan, which was retrieved by Khan. Khan was stopped by a UK port official in July 2006 and he had a notepad containing a shopping list from terrorist contacts - including a laser finder. In December 2006, Khan was at Manchester airport with relatives, including his mother in a wheelchair, en route to Pakistan. He was under surveillance. As he checked in, investigators were examining his luggage, photographing it and repacking it. Khan was bugged telling Iqbal about a sophisticated video camera for the terrorists to make propaganda films and "wills" for broadcast on television channel Al -Jazeera, the jury heard. His masters in Pakistan asked him to send the camera.
"They wanted to make films and what sort of films is he telling Iqbal that they want to make? They are of night operations, day operations and wills. What he is talking about is guerillas in the border area on day and night operations to use as propaganda to inspire young Muslims around the world to join them."
The hearing continues.
Parviz Khan, 37, from Alum Rock, Birmingham, has pleaded guilty to plotting to kidnap and kill a member of the British armed forces between April 2006 and February 2007. He also admitted supplying equipment to terrorists on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.
Mohammed Irfan, 31, of Alum Rock, Birmingham, and Hamid Elasmar, 44, of Edgbaston, Birmingham, have pleaded guilty to helping Khan supply the equipment. Basiru Gassama, 30, of Hodge Hill, Birmingham, has admitted knowing about the plot but not telling the authorities about it.
Zahoor Iqbal, 30, of Perry Barr, Birmingham, and Amjad Mahmood, 32, of Alum Rock, Birmingham, are charged with engaging in conduct with the intention of assisting in the commission of acts of terrorism. They both deny knowing about Khan's plot and failing to disclose information about it. Both men have also pleaded not guilty to helping Khan supply equipment to terrorists in Pakistan. Iqbal is accused of possessing an article, a computer disc Encyclopaedia Jihad, which contained information likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism. He denies the charge.
Mahmood is charged between April 12 2006 and February 1 2007 with having information which he knew or believed might be of material assistance in preventing the commission of an act of terrorism, the kidnap and murder of a member of the British armed forces by Parviz Khan and others, and failing to disclose it as soon as reasonably practicable. He has pleaded not guilty.
The guilty pleas from Khan, Irfan, Elasmar and Gassama were made earlier this month but could not be reported until the trial of Iqbal and Mahmood began yesterday. | <urn:uuid:ab7c39d0-c1eb-443e-a15d-36f9f597c105> | CC-MAIN-2014-15 | http://www.theguardian.com/uk/2008/jan/30/terrorism.world | 2014-04-17T18:38:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-15/segments/1397609530895.48/warc/CC-MAIN-20140416005210-00499-ip-10-147-4-33.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.981936 | 1,462 |
It was daylight in the swamp. Last week’s snow was melting in the rain. It turned into a slushy mess with an icy base that made walking a challenge.
The wind seemed to be blowing from every direction at once. Although, there’s no time to complain about the weather when there are winter chores to be done. Unless the weather gets so nasty it’s dangerous to be outside with the falling trees and limbs crashing everywhere. It’s just not safe.
In that case, it is indeed fortunate that we can go steelhead fishing in weather that is far too nasty to go to work in.
Years of evolutionary genetic adaptations have allowed some people who fish for winter steelhead to grow a heavy coat of fur and a thick layer of blubber to deal with the extreme conditions.
Meanwhile, blizzards, landslides and downed powerlines can shut down our roads. This serves to keep our legendary steelhead streams from becoming overcrowded. Avoiding other people is our goal.
There was once a famous philosopher who said, “Hell is other fishermen.”
Or something like that.
Steelhead fishing is a search for solitude away from the crowds of other anglers seeking solitude. Fishing in abominable weather helps us do that.
This is nothing new.
The Earth is billions of years old. Man has only been recording the weather for centuries.
One thing seems clear: The further back in history we go, the nastier the weather seems to have been.
In 2019, when over 3 feet of snow shut down U.S. Highway 101, steelhead fishing was epic. It stopped when the snow melted.
Then there was the winter of 2007. Winds of 100 mph hit our coast, knocking down trees, flooding roads and knocking out power.
The winter of ’97 was a doozie. The Hood Canal Bridge was closed for three days. Buildings collapsed. The stores in Sequim ran out of bread.
The winter of ’85 was a bad winter that started on Thanksgiving. The knee-deep snow melted off the roof so fast it formed giant icicles overnight. One of them fell and took out a window.
The winter of ’77 was a bad one, but I don’t remember much of it because it was the ’70s.
In 1969, there was so much snow on the roof of the house, we thought it would collapse. So I went up to shovel it off. When I fell off the roof, the snow was so deep it didn’t hurt at all. I think the head injuries helped my writing.
Make no mistake, these winters were hard, but we had the modern conveniences of electricity, gasoline and telephones.
They were easy compared to what the pioneers suffered before the invention of these modern miracles.
In 1916, it was the winter of the “Big Snow.”
It started snowing in January, and kept on falling until there was up to 6 feet of snow in Port Angeles.
Twenty feet of snow was reported at the Olympic Hot Springs — which would have been a great place to ride out the storm.
There was no recorded depth at Hurricane Ridge, because there was nobody up there.
That was nothing compared to the hard winter of 1893. That’s what the old-timers called the winter of the “Blue Snow.”
Snow started falling in Port Angeles on Jan. 27 and fell every day through Feb. 7, until 75 inches were measured on the ground.
The temperature fell to 1 degree below zero.
That was the year the Queets River froze over. Which would have made steelhead fishing tough, even if there was a road back then.
Winter is not over.
We still have a chance for some good steelhead fishing. | <urn:uuid:62a76436-20b2-4241-985c-e7514f17678d> | CC-MAIN-2022-49 | https://patnealwildlife.net/2022/01/05/a-hard-winter-on-the-peninsula/ | 2022-12-01T00:28:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-49/segments/1669446710777.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20221130225142-20221201015142-00266.warc.gz | en | 0.975212 | 799 |

Professional life and breastfeeding
Back-to-work often means the end of breastfeeding. However it is completely possible to express and to keep mother milk to allow the baby to take advantage of it longer
To work and to breast feed may seem complicated at the beginning.
However with some information and a bit of organization, to breast feed and to work is easier that it seems to be. To help you to reconcile professional life and breastfeeding, Kitett® offers you the practical book "Working and Breastfeeding", by Régine Prieur (midwife and breastfeeding consultant).
This book will give you some detailed answers to the most common questions on breastfeeding.
It will guide you to make the most of your breast pump, to maintain lactation and allow to feed your baby with your milk while you are away. | <urn:uuid:36a1e3df-157a-4885-8855-5b37191191d1> | CC-MAIN-2022-27 | https://www.dtf.fr/en/120-professional-life-and-breastfeeding | 2022-06-26T09:13:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-27/segments/1656103037649.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20220626071255-20220626101255-00694.warc.gz | en | 0.954978 | 191 |
A couple requested my hubby to wear a Jason mask. This may sound weird but, this party is actually our business transaction with this couple who wanted to have a wedding ceremony in a Halloween Setting. My hubby is a Notary Public here in Florida so, he can perform ceremony in the State of Florida at reasonable price . Yep! It is all new to me. But, I will try my best to get pictures tonight so I can share it with you for your viewing pleasure.

Getting Ready for Halloween Party
These pictures are so creepy to me! This is a mask that I will be forced to wear tonight for a Halloween Party. It look scary already when I took the picture in our living room and I am alone. I might ask my husband that I will just wear a witch hat shown below and not the mask.

OHIO VS. PENN STATE
KEY INDIVIDUAL MATCHUPS
Several of these guys will have to step up this season, and expect Allen Robinson (8) to lead the way. Behind him are speedsters Shawney Kersey (81) and Alex Kenney (15), a big possession guy in Christian Kuntz (17) and unsung Evan Lewis (4).
The issue, according to head coach Bill O’Brien, is quantity, not quality. Stephon Morris (12) is set at one CB and versatile Adrian Amos (4) likely opens at the other CB spot. Amos can also play safety, but for now PSU is banking on Jake Fagnano (27) and Malcolm Willis (10) there.
The mystery phase of this team. The loss of P-PK Anthony Fera (Texas) has forced O’Brien to scramble. For now, the PK is Sam Ficken (97) and the P is Alex Butterworth (45). Your guess on the KRs-PRs is as good as anyone else’s.
Dual-threat Tyler Tettleton (4) makes it all happen for Frank Solich’s Bobcats, coming off a 10-win season. The 6-0, 200-pounder threw for 28 touchdowns last season and ran for another 10. Must play big Saturday for the visitors to have a shot.
A pretty solid group overall, but RG Eric Herman (77) leads the way after a terrific 2011 campaign in which he started 14 games and was named second-team All-MAC. Veteran unit comprised of seniors and fourth-year juniors.
PK Matt Weller (49) is one of the country’s best weapons and the reigning MAC Special Teams Player of the Year. Weller made 25 of 35 FG attempts last season and was 48-for-49 on PATs. Worth noting, though, that Weller was just 6-for-14 from 40 yards and out.

From JOHN SILAS LAGOS.
PDP Governorship Candidate for Lagos State, Mr. Jimi Agbaje, has described as false the claims by the Lagos State Signage and Advertisement Agency (LASSAA) that his publicity boards were destroyed because he failed to secure permit to erect them.
Describing as curious the agency’s claim to have destroyed the boards for not securing the supposed permit, he wondered why it had in the same breath spoken of granting blanket “waivers” for the display of political A-boards and posters.
According to him, the advertising public knew that for billboards, certain sums were paid for LASSAA permit, which did not apply to lightweight temporary political materials like posters and A-boards.
The LASSAA Chief Executive, Mr. Mobolaji Sanusi, had explained the rationale for destroying Agbaje’s advert materials during a meeting convened today by the Lagos Police Commissioner, Mr. Edgal Imohimi, for political stakeholders at Ikeja.
Representing Agbaje at the meeting was his Running Mate, Mrs. Haleemat Busari.
Agbaje said: “Contrary to what the Managing Director of LASAA, Mobolaji Sanusi, said, we insist that the destruction of our A-frame posters on Third Mainland Bridge is politically motivated.”
“We also challenge LASSAA boss, Mustapha Sanusi, to tell the whole world if hostage-taking and kidnapping constitutes part of their operations.
“One of our deployment boys was in the night of last weekend abducted on the Third Mainland Bridge, until the police rescued him from his adductors’ vehicle whisking him away.”
Accusing the official of outright falsehood, Agbaje wondered why it took LASSAA so long to respond to the widespread outcry and condemnation that greeted the demolition and confiscation of tens of his mounted boards.
In the words of Agbaje: “Clearly, this defence being put up by the agency is a featherweight afterthought meant to justify their resort to perfidy against a perceived opposition. And anyway, why would a state-owned Agency resort to using thugs in its operations?
“Even if we violated any law, which we did not, does that justify why the agency littered the expressway with our boards and endanger motorists driving through the road? Is LASSAA enforcing regulations by throwing boards down and destroying them? Is that why they have been harassing and assaulting our deployment team all over the place? Why should a civil service agency go about in the witching hours of the night to destroy publicity materials of the opposition?”
According to Agbaje, the agency’s conduct reflected the impunity that Lagos needed to liberate itself from at the coming 2019 elections. | <urn:uuid:8ac81201-8836-49f9-b1ad-52ffb6c350d1> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | http://authorityngr.com/2018/12/06/agbaje-blasts-lassaa-for-lying/ | 2019-05-27T08:59:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232262311.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20190527085702-20190527111702-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.965601 | 596 |
I know what you are thinking.
“Why me? Why should I change the life I have now. Go after something new for myself and my life where I have no guarantee that it will be better? Life is good, don’t really have much to complain. Yes there are things that if I could have it my way I would change. Yet, things could always be worse. So I should just be grateful for what I’ve got and stop feeding those crazy dreams….”
I’ve been there and even now sometimes those thoughts come creeping back up again.
And then I remind myself: “Why not? Why settle? If better exists, then why not want that for myself and my life?”
The thought patterns that come up, trying to talk me out of going after something new are no more than my ego mind, trying to keep me where it is familiar, where it is ‘safe’…not necessarily better.
Knowing this now and having tools so I can remove or work with whatever it is that is trying to hold me back, I stopped dismissing my true desires for myself and my life. And instead work towards them.
What about you? What thoughts are keeping you from going after something you truly desire? | <urn:uuid:3088feea-85bb-41fc-81fe-28b1d0fe7691> | CC-MAIN-2022-27 | https://blessedasiam.com/2021/05/07/why-me/ | 2022-07-01T20:52:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-27/segments/1656103945490.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20220701185955-20220701215955-00165.warc.gz | en | 0.972781 | 263 |
Football dominates the news and social situations. One trend at the moment is vintage football shirts flooding the market. With sites such as Classic Football Shirts selling original shirts all over the world, there is a real buzz and fashion around wearing old football shirts. Before shirts were filled with list of betting sites on their shirts, teams would have one sponsor and that sponsor has lived on in infamy. Just say the names of Sharp, JVC, Carlsberg and Newcastle Brown Ale and fans will immediately know what shirt you are on about.
This does not just stop at the regular fan who wears it to the game in fact current players have donned the shirt of either their current team or even an ex-team. However, which current player has pulled off the vintage shirt the best?
Memphis Depay (@memphisdepay)
Depay is no stranger to this game as he has pulled off some sensational vintage shirts. Showcasing many Manchester United shirts from the 1990s including shirts with the names such as Beckham and Cantona on the back. Depay did play for United but things did not work out as they should have but he still clearly has a lot of love for the club.
Depay can also be seen wearing his national colours on occasions as well.
Gregory van der Wiel (@gregoryvanderwiel)
Another Dutchman on the list who has worn the shirt with Cantona on the back. Having only recently retired from the game, van der Wiel still clearly has a passion for it as he was pictured on the way to a Toronto FC match wearing the shirt of the Red Devils in 2018. He looked cool, calm and collected much like the man whose name was on the back of his shirt.
The former right-back was also spotted wearing the Juventus silver away shirt from 2009/10 at a game earlier in the season.
Reece James (@reecejames)
The England and Chelsea full back has been used in promotional pictures wearing classic football shirts. He was pictured in the Chelsea 99/01 shirt and the England 1990 third kit. James pulled off both shirts with expert style and lead many to state that these kits need to be used once again.
Hector Bellerin (@hectorbellerin)
It is possible that Hector Bellerin is the coolest footballer to ever exist. Arsenal has produced some excellent shirts over the years and it is clear that the designers are looking at those classic designs when they are creating the new Arsenal kit. However, Bellerin only needs the vintage ones with his floppy hair and moustache. The best that Bellerin has been seen wearing is the 1991-93 Arsenal away shirt.
Bellerin has also been spotted wearing Real Betis shirt from 1996/97 with rolled-up sleeves adding more ice to the picture.
Mo Salah (@mosalah)
Salah was used, obviously, for a promotional shoot where he was pictured in the classic grey Liverpool shirt with Candy sponsorship. Made famous by the likes of John Barnes and Ian Rush, fans were clamouring for another grey shirt return with Salah leading the way. | <urn:uuid:f78f0809-1836-4f4a-bd28-4b2279db0f08> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://menstylefashion.com/vintage-football-shirts-players-who-have-worn-them/ | 2023-12-01T10:06:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100286.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20231201084429-20231201114429-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.976814 | 643 |
Bloody annoying machines. These scooters come right up behind you without a sound, until they blast the horn. You cannot believe how frustrating and downright annoying these electric scooters can be. And there are thousands of them. People have said “You ain’t seen nothing till you get to Vietnam” and we know that is true. BUT here in China they are mainly electric powered (good for environment) but they creep up on you silently and then blast their horn or ride along the footpaths and weave in and out of pedestrians. Mrs Wombat nearly died more then once.
They all seem to be fitted with an anti theft alarm that gives out a very high pitched bird like call in many variations so these can be heard every time someone parks or starts a bike. Whoever invented them should have them rammed somewhere dark.
Imagine this scenario: You are at a crowded shopping mall or the Sydney, Melbourne or other show with thousands of people shoulder to shoulder and weaving in and out of the crowds are dozens of silent scooters with noisy blasting horns. It is not only dangerous (who cares) but a bloody nuisance!!
Also we have been told that anyone can purchase a bike, the LEGAL riding age is 18 (joke) they sell for as little as $400. There is no license required, no testing, no insurance, and no registration. You can carry your dog, partner, kids, partner and kids or anything you can load onto them, No helmet requirements. On Sunday night in the large square central Guilin there were hundreds and hundreds of brand new scooters on display for sale. Just go and buy and drive away.

The motor bikes should be better controlled. In Australia they would be taken off them and crushed for riding on footpaths, going the wrong way in a street, continual blowing of horns and the damn noisy alarms that go off every time they lock or unlock the bike. | <urn:uuid:17fc1224-a34a-454c-8453-f877b97a2425> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | http://wanderingwombats.net/bloody-motor-bikes/ | 2019-05-25T22:03:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232258451.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20190525204936-20190525230936-00210.warc.gz | en | 0.962417 | 424 |
Guiding others is key to being a good leader. While a lot of people just are natural born leaders, other people need to figure out what goes into leading others. If you wish to enhance your abilities in this field, read on for tips and hints on how to do just that.
Honesty is probably the most important leadership quality to have. You cannot be an effective leader if you cannot be trusted. As you are proving and developing yourself as a bright leader, remain honest and transparent with those around you. You’ll be respected more if you are seen as trustworthy.
Leaders should keep things simple. Focus on the most important goals as a leader. Once that’s been accomplished, you’ll be able to set priorities. Simplify everything as far as possible. Leave yourself time to visualize and consider your options, too.
Be as transparent as possible with business issues. Hiding issues used to be what businesses did, but smart leaders now go the opposite direction. Why the change? Communication is more important in today’s world. The truth will come out, one way or another. So, why not try to control the message that’s going out there instead of trying to react to it? This is the path of true leadership.
A good leader brings creativity out of their team. Creativity and risk sometimes lead to great rewards. Try new things and stay curious. You should believe in new ideas, even if they don’t appear to fit right now. Help others add to those ideas within the whole.
When you are working with customers or colleagues, you must conduct yourself ethically. All businesses must adhere to their ethical beliefs. If your customers see the sincerity in the job that you do, they will be loyal to your business. By getting together a set of responsibilities that show how moral your business is, your rules will start to be followed by people.
Honesty is crucial for a leader. You cannot be an effective leader if you cannot be trusted. Being honest and trustworthy are important skills for any leader. A person will have more respect for you if they feel like they can rely on and trust you.
Work hard at being approachable. You should not try to rule with intimidation, even if others do. It is not a good strategy, however; it only makes your team dislike you. An effective leader is accessible and supports subordinates so they can be successful in their tasks.
A good leader is someone who thinks about the future. You have to know what’s next and how to prepare for it. Of course, you can’t always predict the future, but you can get pretty good at it. Make sure that you have future goals in mind that you want to aim for, whether it is six or twelve months down the line.
Don’t lower morals for competition. If you see the competition doing things that you’re not comfortable with, figure out an alternative so you can stay competitive. You need not follow their lead just to stay relevant. By developing an innovation that keeps you competitive, you will be able to sleep better at night.
You should regularly make people aware of potential issues. Great leaders used to cover up problems; that isn’t the case anymore. What is the reason for this? There’s a lot of ways the issues can surface because of all the communication built into our modern lives. No matter what you do, the truth always prevails. Controlling the information yourself is much better than scrambling in response. It’s the path taken by great leaders.
Incentives are a great way to improve output. Though everyone is already paid for their work, incentives can better the quality of it. When an employee makes an extra effort, let them know you notice and encourage them with a reward. Good leaders do not hold back rewards.
It is important to be a leader that is approachable. Many people believe that striking fear in peoples’ hearts and intimidating them is the best way for you to show them you are in charge. This is not good at all, and you will have a hard time earning the respect you deserve. Communicate your availability to help employees sort through difficult issues and obstacles in their jobs.
Set missions and goals for the entire company. Working towards goals and helping others have goals is what leaders do. Do not let your goals disappear after you have established them. Hold monthly meetings to make sure everyone is still on track and working towards the desired goal.
Set some goals and have missions that your whole company can work towards. Working towards goals and helping others have goals is what leaders do. Do not create them and then forget about them the rest of the year. Have monthly meetings to see what the status is on your goals, and hold your employees accountable for getting things accomplished.
Listen more than you talk. The best listeners often make the best leaders. Listen to everything your employees need to say. This will probably involve listening to good things, such as praise, but also to bad things, such as complaints. Listen to what employees say when it comes to the products and buyers. You’ll learn quite a bit about what you can do to better your business if you listen to others.
Stand by your word. When you are a leader, it’s important to follow through on your promises. If that is impossible for some reason, you need to let others know why. When you don’t live up to what you promise, you will be disrespected.
Do an honest self-evaluation to determine where your strengths and weaknesses lie. Overconfidence in your abilities is sure to lead to a mistake. Focus attention on strengthening yourself in areas you know are weaker than others.
Communication is probably the single most important factor in being an effective leader. Ensure they understand which direction they should go in, and that they know about changes of plans. Poor communication leads to misunderstandings, mistakes and wasted time. Bad communication will also show a lack of control on your part.
Being a good leader means you have to be a good listener when talking with your subordinates. They usually have helpful ideas. Also, listening causes others to trust you more.
Honesty and sincerity whenever you interact with someone is how you should conduct your business. Avoid confusing confidence with arrogance. No one likes an arrogant person. Being a sincere individual enables others to trust you and want to work for you. Insincerity is obvious to other people so make a habit of being honest with people.
Be sure you don’t obsess over winning. In today’s technological world, most things can be broken down into numbers on paper. A lot of managers do things like this so they can make team goals, and they can start measuring progress. If you take the time to look things over properly, you’ll be less inclined to fail and more inclined to breed success.
You now should know more of what is required of you to lead people better. This article has hopefully given you an idea of how to nurture your abilities. This world is in need of great leaders.
Become an effective writer. Leadership is more than just posturing. How you show yourself off with words matters a lot. When your handwriting is hard to read, or your emails are full of typos, who can take you seriously? Keep this in mind any time that you need to write something. | <urn:uuid:d7cb82e9-6a79-4975-930a-42826ffdfcc7> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://businessmeetsnature.dk/tips-to-help-you-with-leadership-skills-7/ | 2018-05-23T03:37:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794865411.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20180523024534-20180523044534-00353.warc.gz | en | 0.964102 | 1,520 |
An Increase in the Sex Ratio of Births to India-born Mothers in England and Wales: Evidence for Sex-Selective Abortion
Male preference in many Asian cultures results in discriminatory practices against females, including neglect and infanticide. This preference, together with the availability of prenatal sex determination and sex-selective abortion, has led to an increase in sex ratios at birth in China, India, and South Korea. The resulting expected gender imbalances raise ethical, demographic, and social concerns. We analyzed birth statistics to see whether similar trends are apparent among births to foreign-born mothers in England and Wales. Before 1990, sex ratios at birth were consistently nearly one point lower (104) for the three major Asian groups in Britain compared with mothers born in Western countries. This is inconsistent with previous suggestions that Asian populations have a higher "natural" sex ratio at birth. In the birth statistics since 1990, we find a four-point increase in the sex ratio at birth for mothers born in India, attributable particularly to an increase at higher birth orders, mirroring findings reported for India. This suggests that sex-selective abortion is occurring among mothers born in India and living in Britain. By contrast, no significant increase was observed for Pakistan-born and Bangladesh-born mothers, among whom male preference also exists. It seems that male preference in different cultures does not necessarily lead to sex-selective abortion. Copyright 2007 The Population Council, Inc..

… it has a good mouth feel too at 8.3% abv. I let it warm up in the glass for a few while I split a Burton Baton. When we got back to it after a water buffer one of the experts here exclaimed “Now that is just good!”. That about sums it up for me too.

EU enlargement could encourage 'fertility tourists' to travel to Eastern Europe for cheap IVF, doctors have warned.
IVF costs vary significantly
Treatment in countries such as Hungary and Slovenia costs around 2,400 euros (£1,608), compared to between £2,000 and 4,000 in the UK.
IVF success rates are as good in Eastern Europe as elsewhere, but clinics are often unregulated.
The warning came at the European fertility conference in Berlin.
Three out of four couples having IVF in the UK currently have to pay for their treatment.
The NHS watchdog, the National Institute for Clinical Excellence, recommended that women aged between 23 and 39, who have been trying to have a baby for more than three years, should be offered three cycles of IVF.
But the government over-ruled the institute, saying the NHS should only be obliged to offer one cycle.
Preliminary data on assisted reproduction rates from 22 countries across Europe was collected by doctors from the Fertility Clinic, the Rigshospitalet at Copenhagen University.
They found that the availability of assisted reproduction techniques such as
IVF was highest in Denmark, with 1,923 cycles per million of the population
in 2001 - the most recent year for which data is available.
But Slovenia was ranked fifth, with 1,122 cycles per million and Hungary
In contrast, the UK carried out 593 cycles per million.
Pregnancy rates were also comparable in eastern European countries.
In Slovenia, couples had a 36% chance of pregnancy from one cycle of IVF
treatment, compared to 31.9% in Hungary and 28.4% in the UK.
Pregnancy rates for ICSI, where one sperm is put directly into an egg to
fertilise it, were 30% in Slovenia, 25% in Hungary, and 27% in the UK.
Professor Karl Nygren, one of the report's authors, said: "With EU
enlargement and the increasing freedom of movement this brings, it has
become even more important that countries collect accurate and complete data
on the assisted reproduction technology carried out in their clinics.
"Discrepancies in prices between countries, particularly between east and
west, means that it is vital that potential patients can compare not only
prices, but also the quality and efficacy of the treatments on offer."
Suzi Leather, chairwoman of the UK's Human Fertilisation and Embryology
Authority, said: "I can understand why people could be tempted to go abroad.
"But where treatment is not regulated, there is no way that patients can be
sure of safety or of the results advertised by the clinics.
"In the UK, all patients are offered counselling, and they can also have the reassurance of knowing that they can talk to their own doctor at any time if they are worried, either during or after their treatment." | <urn:uuid:03053cb9-81da-43fe-8031-13acc75c13bc> | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/3853237.stm | 2020-02-23T11:53:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875145767.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20200223093317-20200223123317-00403.warc.gz | en | 0.967668 | 616 |
How much does a view of the Acropolis cost?
A key feature in the Athens real estate market, particularly for foreign buyers, is whether the property has a view of the Acropolis. But how much should an investor expect to pay for such a feature?
Views of the Parthenon can be seen from across the city and sometimes in some unexpected places that are not too close to the center of town. However, if an investor wants to be in arms reach of the ancient citadel, and be as close as possible to the breathtaking monument, then homes in central Athens are the only choice.
The Greek Guru has listed below residential property prices (per square meter) in most of these.
With home prices having dropped by more than 40% since the crisis erupted in Greece in 2010, there are many bargain prices but brokers say that prices of apartments with a special features have proved to be most resilient to the downturn.
Please note: These are broader prices are for all properties in the central district and not necessarily with a view of the Acropolis.

Whoever likes music raise your hand. If you’re not raising your hand (and I know if you’re not) put them into the air immediately. OK you can put your hands down now. For all of you who did raise their hand (or those who just caved into peer pressure) you should be excited to hear that Video Games Live (VGL) is coming to Chicago on November 15th at the Chicago Theater.
What exactly is VGL you ask? VGL is a spectacular concert that features music from popular video games such as Super Mario, Halo, Final Fantasy, Pac-Man, Legend of Zelda and several other popular game titles. The concert is played by a live professional symphony orchestra and is accompanied by a first-class choir. Not only are your ears in for a treat, but so are your eyes. VGL features a dazzling light show with video footage projected onto a large screen behind the orchestra. The official VGL website said this about the experience, “It's the power & emotion of a symphony orchestra mixed with the excitement and energy of a rock concert and the technology and interactivity of a video game all completely synchronized to amazing cutting edge video screen visuals, state-of-the-art lighting and special on-stage interactive segments with the audience.” VGL was created by Tommy Tallarico (who some of you might know from G4’s Judgment day and Electric Playground) and Jack Wall, two very well known video game composers. Tommy and Jack created VGL for the purpose of showing how video games can function as an art form in today's culture.
(This is what it would look like if lived in a cartoon world)
To sweeten the package, VGL also includes Pre and Post show events. At the Pre-Show there will be a costume contest as well as video game competitions for games like Guitar Hero II and Space Invaders. At the Post Show there is a meet-and-greet with various video game composers and of course more video games to play. Tommy and Jack did their best to make this an entertaining experience for gamers and non-gamers alike.
Even though I’m FREAKING excited for the event some of you may not be convinced yet. I can only imagine you’re in one of two groups. Group A, or as I would like to call it “Group Skeptic,” doesn't understand why anyone would want to listen to game music outside of the video game. Or Group B, which I will call “Where’s the Guitar Solo so I can Head Bang, Throw Up the Horns, and Rock Out in the Mosh Pit.” Those in group B believe orchestra music isn’t for them and want nothing to do with a string instrument that isn’t plugged into an amp. For both groups I present the orchestral version of Simple and Clean from Kingdom Hearts (another one of my favorite video games).
Anyone excited yet? I know I am and that was just a small taste of what VGL has to offer. If that song didn’t interest you in the slightest bit then I don’t know why you’re still reading this post. If you liked what you heard then you certainly want to go to VGL. If you’re not in the Chicago area don’t worry VGL travels all over the world. Check out the official Video Games Live site to see when it comes to a city near you.
Despite the fact that I want to go VGL so bad that it hurts, I will not be attending the event this year. Through an unfortunate twist of fate I will be out of town when VGL rolls into Chicago (I am literally crying about this…seriously), but I encourage everyone to go. This is definitely one event you don’t want to miss. | <urn:uuid:2ca9ef11-ee3f-496d-94ee-ee6d46bb81f5> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://nerdsynthesis.blogspot.com/2008/11/video-games-live.html?showComment=1226330520000 | 2018-06-24T16:36:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267866984.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20180624160817-20180624180817-00051.warc.gz | en | 0.95956 | 804 |

He may be just a shade under 36 years old - but Rod Sarich is heading back for yet another chapter in the Sheffield Steelers story book.
The champions need injury cover after defenceman Christoffer Bjorklund activated an option in his contract and quit for a higher paid job at a Swedish team.
And Sarich, who lives on the Steeler doorstep and played for the club in the Champions Hockey League has been offered a role to play when one of the imports is absent.
The former Great Britain player is a fitness fanatic - but nobody will be pretending he is in game shape.
Stepping into the hurly-burly of a end-of-season campaign could be one of the biggest challenges he has ever faced.
With the Challenge Cup Final, league title run-in and Play Offs ahead it is a fascinating time to be back. And, with all the fancy farewells and testimonials we have seen for players who have not been of his quality, over the years, it would be good for Arena fans to get the chance to support a player who joined in 2005.
Sarich could make his league-season debut this weekend, if there are any injuries; he has been training with the squad. Every match now is vital in all competitions, so coach Paul Thompson has had to have persuaded himself that the office-worker can make a contribution that helps the team.
“Roddy may have been a last resort, given the lack of time to find a new recruit” said Thompson. “But he is a great solution, and I am sure will help us if we need him.
“Ideally, perhaps, this weekend would not be the best time for us to play him, there is a lot of work to be done with him. But the players responded with high-fives when they heard he was coming back and that tells you a lot.
“When he is not playing he will be helping us out on the managerial side.” | <urn:uuid:79a3dacf-4d6d-4f0e-8a27-f645c6a63aa5> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://www.thestar.co.uk/sport/ice-hockey/sheffield-steelers/rod-sarich-on-his-way-back-to-sheffield-steelers-1-8393193 | 2017-10-16T23:41:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187820487.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20171016233304-20171017013304-00237.warc.gz | en | 0.980639 | 412 |

On Sunday night, deep within the dark, cavernous walls of Ortlieb’s Lounge, Seattle-based garage rock monster Reignwolf delivered the kind of performance legends are made of—one that transcends the norm of what modern rock sounds like. It’s the kind of show you’ve only read about, from the kind of band that makes you wonder where they parked their spaceship time machine and if they might let you bum a ride.
The heat was already generating from a solid opening set by Philadelphia’s own Satellite Hearts as Reignwolf’s Jordan Cook, clad in a flannel shirt and skullcap pulled tightly over his eyes, quietly took the stage and introduced himself by tearing into “Electric Love,” a blistering guitar riff played while simultaneously stomping out a beat on kick drum. Cook’s blues-soaked vocals feel as though they are pulled not from the diaphragm, but from the very ground upon which we stand, and the crowd was quickly stirred into a frenzy as each song was punctuated with Hendrix-like guitar licks while Cook perched himself high atop an amplifier or drum.
Once bassist David “Stitch” Rapaport and drummer Joseph Braley joined in, the trio launched into a full-blown sonic assault as Cook stomped back and forth across the stage, knocking over drum stands, purposely tearing the strings off his guitar and holding them in his teeth, all the while managing to avoid collision with his band mates in a sort of caveman-like ballet.
The crowd continued to crush tightly toward the stage as the band blasted through “Bicycle” and “Lonely Sunday,” which Cook prefaced by panning the adoring crowd and proclaiming, “it’s not a lonely Sunday tonight. And the bossman asked me if I thought anyone would even show up. Philadelphia, this song is for you.” Just a quick glance around the jam-packed room revealed every person present was smiling like a teenager at their first concert.
As the band finished their set, the entire crowd turned in their direction as though they were ready and willing to follow the band right out the door. Instead, they pleaded for Reignwolf to come back and in a move rarely seen in small clubs, Cook returned to the stage on his own for an encore that included a cover of John Lennon’s “Jealous Guy,” during which he moved behind the drum kit to perfectly maintain a thunderous rhythm while performing a one-handed guitar solo. The rest of the band rejoined to deliver one last knockout punch before leaving the stage looking as though a storm had just blown through, with microphones purposely turned into the amplifiers, keeping everyone dizzied by the glorious mayhem they just witnessed.
Despite ringing ears and weary eyes from standing beneath a shower of blood red lights, one couldn’t help but emerge from that dark, sweaty club feeling reborn. Both Reignwolf and Satellite Hearts deliver raw, fearless and unrestrained rock ‘n roll. It’s classic, but not nostalgic; wild and dangerous, yet full of awe and childlike wonder. Certainly everyone in the room that night left reminded of why they fell in love with music in the first place and as a bonus, one hell of a story to tell their wide-eyed grandchildren someday. — Wendy McCardle | <urn:uuid:fcf493a3-fd0c-4071-9ab1-4c453bfbc774> | CC-MAIN-2015-48 | http://theswollenfox.com/recap-reignwolf-ortliebs-lounge-06-09-13/ | 2015-12-01T07:28:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-48/segments/1448398465089.29/warc/CC-MAIN-20151124205425-00261-ip-10-71-132-137.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.97281 | 710 |

"I'm excited as a result of the demographics are with us, now we have to learn the way to construct [new homes] … on the proper worth, "stated Palmer.
David M. Brickman, chairman and new chief government of Freddie Mac, stated there ought to be a major provide of latest houses at decrease costs.
"The issue is that we do not need sufficient housing in whole. We’d like about 1.5 million houses every year, and we’ve barely 1.2 million. We now have operated at this degree, we’ve a deficit of four million homes, which drives up rents and creates stress, "he stated on the occasion.
Brickman added that younger individuals can’t afford to purchase a house the identical age as their dad and mom earlier than, which displays the shift to rental housing and the demise of owned housing on the youngest cohorts.

Note: This is a guest post provided to us by an extremely smart gentleman, with whom I’ve worked closely with in the past. At this time however, homeboy prefers to remain anonymous.
I get questions like this all the time:
"I’m trying to help educate my management on the importance of having the right microcode in place for our array. Our array is requiring an upgrade that is scheduled for sometime in mid to late November (1 month from now). This is causing a delay with our certification of our ESX infrastructure as I cannot schedule it sooner due to political issues."
The simple answer here is that microcode upgrades are required as regular SAN maintenance. This applies to arrays, switches, and HBAs. Upgrading microcode should be expedited if there are critical updates or other issues resolved that would affect the stability and availability of the SAN. Past vendors have released microcode fixes categorized under critical for everything from stability to availability to data corruption.
The problem with most companies out there (SMB and enterprise) is that SAN maintenance is not taken as seriously as it should be and outages are incurred as a result of a lack of due diligence on keeping firmware up to date. In this day in age and with the advantages with using ESX, customers are able to move all VMs off an ESX host to put it into maintenance to update HBA firmware. By the same token, array vendors have developed non-disruptive or online firmware upgrades to the array controllers. Switches also have the ability to do online upgrades but more than that, switch fabrics in most enterprise environments are redundant and thus one switch can be upgraded at a time with the other online without impacting availability.
With the above being stated, there is nothing physically/logistically preventing a company from upgrading their SAN during the day however procedures are in place to do upgrades/changes off hours to ensure minimal impact should an issue arise. A standard practice however as more layers of approval, scheduling, and testing are introduced, longer delays are the end result. The reality is that the more red tape there is to go through to get these changes in place, the greater the chance that an outage or other anomaly can occur due to outdated firmware.
Keeping in mind that firmware is quite a bit different than software patches or service packs (it is simpler and far better tested/QA’ed), firmware should be considered a priority in every level of infrastructure to avoid unwanted downtime. | <urn:uuid:f7730385-38ca-4479-ae4b-b208132d9167> | CC-MAIN-2023-06 | https://vbrownbag.com/2009/10/the-importance-of-san-maintenance/ | 2023-01-28T23:25:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-06/segments/1674764499695.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20230128220716-20230129010716-00302.warc.gz | en | 0.958558 | 504 |

Neiman Marcus deploys a ‘Memory Mirror’ for clothes shoppers
January 12, 2015 01:02 PM
Neiman Marcus Group Inc., the high-end retail chain that is No. 41 in the Internet Retailer 2014 Top 500 Guide, has deployed technology called “Memory Mirror” that enables shoppers to digitally compare outfits and send those images to friends via e-mail and social media.
The chain has already installed the device in its Walnut Creek, CA, store, with “other rollouts scheduled later this month,” Neiman Marcus says. The technology comes from 2-year-old Silicon Valley-based company MemoMi; its founder and CEO, Salvador Nissi Vilcovsky, says he is working to deploy similar technology to “some of the largest brands in the world, including two of the five largest clothing brands,” though he declines to be more specific.
Neiman Marcus, like potential future retail clients, has put its Memory Mirror in a public area, not a dressing room. That’s because the device is a large screen with a camera pointed at the shopper. “We will offer a camera-less version that will allow you to browse and see your try-ons, virtualize them and share inside the fitting room, but never with a camera,” Vilcovsky says.
Here’s how the Memory Mirror works, taken from information provided by MemoMi and a video that shows the technology in action: Its camera and software “captures” a 360-degree view of a shopper in an outfit and the images can include the shopper in motion. Using hand gestures—the gestures in the video linked above vaguely recall how soldiers on patrol communicate without talking but through crisp movements of hands and fingers—the shopper can browse outfits already tried on and captured, sift through various views and angles, and otherwise compare potential purchases. The Memory Mirror also enables those shoppers to post images and “try-on videos” to social media, share via e-mail and save to mobile devices. The idea is to save the shoppers from repeatedly having to try on the same outfits in order to make a decision about what looks best and what to buy.
Retail clients also gain benefits from the technology, MemoMi says. Data from Memory Mirror sessions can help retailers not only better understand which styles appeal to shoppers but enable merchants to craft product recommendations or offer relevant coupons for items tried on but not bought. (Shoppers using the technology decide whether to share such information as gender, age and body type.) In addition, “sales associates are able to take video or still images of merchandise on a model or a hanger and send it to customers with their permission,” says a spokeswoman for Neiman Marcus.
Neither Vilcovsky nor Neiman Marcus would provide details about the cost of the technology.
The deployment of the Memory Mirror technology is the latest of several e-commerce initiatives for Neiman Marcus. It has, for instance, given sales associates iPhones with a customized mobile app that provides information on a customer’s shopping history. Also last year, the retailer added a feature to its mobile app called “Snap. Find. Shop.” The feature allows a customer to take a picture of an item she likes and buy it right away. The company uses image-recognition software developer Slyce to provide the 3-D visual search technology that enables the shopper to take a picture of a shoe or a handbag and provide her several similar options that she can purchase right away. | <urn:uuid:27fec9a3-45a8-4d26-b28b-04838d7db7b3> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://www.top500guide.com/neiman-marcus-deploys-memory-mirror-clothes-shoppers/ | 2019-06-21T00:00:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627999291.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20190620230326-20190621012326-00527.warc.gz | en | 0.943733 | 740 |

Topic: Virtual reality
Virtual reality allows us to explore another dimension of reality. This technology – while fascinating in and of itself – can also be combined with new ways of storytelling, thus unleashing the potential to create breath-taking experiences. In theatre it offers new methods – until now largely unexplored – for writers, directors and stage designers to express their ideas in a more immersive and compelling way, and to engage audiences with the unexpected.
Topic: Augmented reality
Augmented reality expands the real world by combining it with the digital; for example, it could mean that a digital image or figure is displayed and overlaid on to regular life. One well-known example of augmented reality is Pokémon Go. The technology is not limited to children’s games, however, but can be used by the performing arts to integrate new layers into the production, which can in turn strongly enhance storytelling techniques and interactions with the audience.
