Classic. Joyful. Elegant.
I’m telling you, if I photographed weddings for people half as joyful as everyone I encountered on Rafael and Francesca’s wedding day, my cup would be absolutely overflowing! I believe I left their joyous occasion beaming ear-to-ear, because I physically couldn’t help it!
What a special wedding I was able to document, and it was such an honor to do so!
Every from from Francesca’s classic, stunning details to the luscious florals throughout the reception hall–absolutely perfect. Every person from Rafael and Francesca to literally the event staff–joyous and kind. I’m still recovering from the awe of Francesca’s Hailey Paige wedding gown–it was too perfect! And I don’t think she could have chosen a more elegant hair style to compliment everything special that was her or her wedding dress.
I could easily tell that the thought and planning put into every detail of their wedding day was planned and important, and I loved this about Francesca. She’s a bride who knew what she wanted. As she was getting ready, she had specific requests for how she wanted her hair and makeup, and this stood out to me. I thought, “I wish I could be better at knowing exactly what I want–being knowledgeable.”
But mostly, after thought, I realized, this is a woman who knows who she is. She knows and is confident in everything Rafael is, and she oh-so-much joyfully celebrated every bit of this on her wedding day. It was absolutely refreshing to see a couple so perfect for one another take in and celebrate the details of their wedding day WITH the most special and loved people to them.
It’s very rare for me to not meet face-to-face with a bride and groom before their wedding date, but for travel-sake, this was the case. And let’s just say it didn’t stunt their ability to be comfortable, unashamedly in LOVE and trusting during their portrait time. We had probably double the amount of portrait time for the two of them, and it just about made my little heart burst. Goodness gracious, these two are not only a beautiful couple together, but they cannot be more kind or down-to-earth.
This was reflected in all of their family, their friends I visited with, their intentional details and those gorgeous smiles ALLDAYLONG.
Francesca and Rafael, here’s to wishing your honeymoon in Italy is half as wonderful as your wedding day!! Big hugs! | <urn:uuid:fae57b29-7f83-4ba6-8620-5a18804ac93c> | CC-MAIN-2022-27 | https://lindsaydavenportphotography.com/2018/08/24/2018-8-23-0ara6d8fjauj03902g42ufljomgcy0/ | 2022-06-30T02:19:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-27/segments/1656103646990.40/warc/CC-MAIN-20220630001553-20220630031553-00085.warc.gz | en | 0.978045 | 556 |
The Pope is one of the most laid back people on the planet. This isn't the sort of Jeff Lebowski (bka the Dude) laid back, this is serious, ain't-foolin'-around laid back. I mean, if you were the Bishop of Rome and leader of the Roman Catholic Church, you'd have to be pretty chill all the time. It's part of his job description to be as Christlike as he can. Jesus was one seriously laid back dude.
So if something was going to piss off the Pope, it would have to be some serious, DEFCON 2 type shit. Something worse than Keyser Soze, Charles Manson and your pubescent older brother could ever whip up.
I first heard this from my good friend J.T., in reference to a Java program he had just written. | <urn:uuid:56a4e6b9-d6b0-494c-adc9-a2f24216ec76> | CC-MAIN-2016-07 | http://everything2.com/title/That%2527s+enough+to+piss+off+the+Pope | 2016-02-06T02:56:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-07/segments/1454701145751.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20160205193905-00231-ip-10-236-182-209.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.985794 | 173 |
A 21-year-old man has been arrested after an incident in Southend where a woman was slashed in the neck.
Police officers were called to Kursaal Way shortly after 7.45pm yesterday (April 18), after receiving reports of a disturbance involving a group of people.
A 42-year-old man was stabbed in the shoulder, while a 19-year-old woman suffered a slash wound to her neck.
Both injuries are not life changing or believed to be life threatening.
A 21-year-old man, of no fixed address, was arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm and possession of class A drugs with intent to supply.
He remains in police custody for questioning.
A large police presence was spotted by local residents on Kursaal Way near Woodgrange Drive.
One resident, who wished to remain anonymous, said: "It’s getting out of hand all this violence in the UK."
Another resident added: "I am quite concerned and worried about this, we all read what's been happening in London and other parts of Southend with knife crime and I always thought something like could always happen but it's still a bit of shock to the system."
Kursaal Way is located in close proximity to Southend seafront linking Beresford Road with Arnold Avenue. | <urn:uuid:15c743dc-3e31-4af3-adce-039a6874a834> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.essexlive.news/news/essex-news/man-southend-stabbed-shoulder-woman-1475879 | 2021-10-27T12:42:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323588153.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20211027115745-20211027145745-00373.warc.gz | en | 0.977743 | 279 |

Dishman Art Museum closed mid-May through June
The Dishman Art Museum will be closed from May 17 through July 1 as it undergoes a massive reroofing project. The exhibition schedule will resume July 1 with “Emerging Ceramic Artists,” a collaborative exhibition presented by the Clay Arts Museum and Education Organization and the Dishman Art Museum to highlight new ceramic artists from universities across Texas. “Emerging Ceramic Artists” will run through August 10.
“We are so excited for the renovations taking place at the Dishman Art Museum this summer," said Megan Koza Young, assistant professor of art history and director of the Dishman. "We will be using the time we are closed to re-vision the presentation of the permanent Eisenstadt Collection and expand our outreach across the university and the community.”
The previously announced summer exhibition, “Mark(ing) Time: Expanded Notions in Drawing,” will now be exhibited August 13 through October 1 in the lower gallery. Celebrating the lines and marks made by those artists who work strictly on paper, “Mark(ing) Time” invites several internationally recognized artists to show their works in the Dishman. This exhibition brings together traditional and contemporary thought on what constitutes drawing and printmaking today, ranging from artists who work classically with graphite on paper to those who expand the definition of working on paper to create entire installations.
In the same time period, August 13 - October 1, "Patrick Martin: Visions in Glass" will be displayed in the upper gallery.
“Although the museum will be closed to the public for most of May and June, we will still have a very active presence on campus through course outreach and outside art activities throughout the summer,” said Young.

Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller is listed as probable for Saturday’s game against Florida A&M, but Kenny Guiton played so well in Miller’s absence that Urban Meyer may have plans to play both moving forward.
Miller missed most of the last two games with a sprained medial collateral ligament in his left knee. Guiton, a senior, took his place and performed more than ably, completing 40 of 60 passes for 448 yards and six touchdowns to lead the Buckeyes to wins over San Diego State and California.
It’s Meyer’s policy that a starter can’t lose his job and he confirmed that Miller will retain his starting title, but he is clearly intrigued by the possibility of using Guiton, too, maybe even in conjunction with Miller.
“We’re in conversation about that right now,” Meyer said. “If (Guiton’s) one of the best 11, you have an obligation to get him on the field a little bit.”
One element that Guiton brings to the table is his ability to run the option. The option, Meyer said, is not Miller’s forte.
“Kenny is a natural option quarterback, Braxton is not quite as natural pitching the ball. I would say that’s probably the one area that Kenny excels at,” Meyer said. “In the last two games, we’ve ran more option than we’ve run in a long time.”
However he is used, Meyer said Guiton has ‘earned some time’. Meyer has a history of finding unique ways to use hybrid-type players — see what he did with Percy Harvin and Aaron Hernandez while at Florida. One of the side benefits of Miller’s injury is that Guiton’s performance in his stead might’ve opened the door for a new wrinkle to emerge in the Ohio State offense. Meyer seems dead-set on using him in some capacity.
“If you can buy stock, buy stock in Kenny Guiton,” Meyer said.
Having two guys who can run and pass in the same backfield would not be fun to defend. The rest of the Big Ten is keeping a close eye on this development, I’m sure. | <urn:uuid:0336b519-a491-4241-b588-b229a79f30bf> | CC-MAIN-2014-23 | http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/09/17/braxton-millers-returning-but-urban-meyer-wants-kenny-guiton-on-the-field-too/ | 2014-07-24T08:30:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-23/segments/1405997888216.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20140722025808-00141-ip-10-33-131-23.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.970865 | 485 |

The 8 Ball 01.12.13: The Top 8 Albums of 2012
Welcome, one and all, to the 8 Ball in the Music Zone! I’m your host Jeremy Thomas and as always, I will be tackling a topic and providing you the top eight selections of that particular category. Keep in mind that this list is meant to be my personal opinion and not a definitive list. You’re free to disagree; you can even say my list is wrong, but stating that an opinion is “wrong” is just silly. With that in mind, let’s get right in to it!
Before you start reading, have you bookmarked 411Mania.com yet? It’s the easiest thing in the world to do, and it’ll get you your daily dose of entertainment news that much quicker! Typing the URL out in the address bar is such a pain, don’tcha think? Hell, make it your home page and it’ll be that much easier for you!
Also, do you Twitter? If not, you should! And while you’re at it, add these to your list of people that you follow so that you can get the latest updates!
Caveat: All you had to do in order to qualify for this list was release an EP or LP in the year 2012 within the United States, and do a great job at it. Pretty straight-forward.
Garbage – Not Your Kind of People
Beach House – Bloom
Christina Aguilera – Lotus
The Lumineers – The Lumineers
15: Frank Ocean – Channel ORANGE
14: Bruce Springsteen – Wrecking Ball
13: Marina & the Diamonds – Electra Heart
12: Killer Mike – R.A.P. Music
11: Pink – The Truth About Love
10: Jack White – Blunderbuss
9: Grizzly Bear – Shields
The folk rock revival is in full swing, and never was that more evident than when Mumford & Sons’ second studio LP dropped in September of last year. The band was certainly no unknown property after the success of Sigh No More in 2009, but Babel instantly put them on the A list, making them a household name with over 600,000 copies sold. That’s the second-highest sales debut of the year, behind only the commercial behemoth that is Taylor Swift and ahead of such juggernauts as Madonna and Pink. That huge sales week did more than just make the English folk group one of the hottest things running; it helped bring attention to a significant shift in music tastes in 2012. Pop stars still rule the charts, but rock–particularly folk-inspired rock–was on the rise. That being said, Babel is more than just a symbolic success for people who were sick of the “unce-unce-unce” of dance-pop; it was an artistic success for the band as well. While I personally would rate Sigh No More a touch higher than Babel, that is by no means a slant against this LP. Babel actually contains a richer sound that Sigh and if people want to complain that it is more polished musically, they can at least take solace in the fact that Marcus Mumford and his bandmates are just as talented at songwriting. From the powerhouse singles of “I Will Wait” and “Lover of the Light” to album tracks like “Whispers in the Dark,” “Not With Haste” and the rest, this is an album where “earnest” isn’t a crime against nature; it’s a creed. Folk purists have been falling all over themselves decrying the success of Babel, which as Bob Dylan can tell you is usually a good indicator that you’re doing something right.
Enter Shikari was one of my most pleasant discoveries of 2012. The group’s intriguing sound caught my attention on Spotify somehow and I found myself listening to their other work before checking out A Flash Flood of Colour. This is the kind of album that I would have never found myself getting into without this kind of introduction; describing them basically ends up comparing them overly much to Linkin Park or similar acts and really…when Linkin Park is only just now finding their way back to a cert ain quality level, listening to a group that is “similar to them” isn’t high on the agenda. However, Enter Shikari is doing work right now that is miles ahead of what Linkin Park did, even with Living Things being a step back in the right direction. The band has more energy and less of a tendency to fall into safe formulas that are sure to produce hits. The band has said that the album is “anti-political” and it isn’t hard to hear that in the lyrics, which are passionate and well-formed. From the opening track “System…,” in which frontman Roughton Reynolds calls out, “This house was doomed, but they didn’t care/they’d invested in a system that was beyond repair,” you know exactly where this group is headed. Their sound has some serious kick to it and restores some oomph to the alt-metal game that it has been missing for a while.
Rap music was in need of some new blood in 2012. While there are still some trailblazers keeping the quality of hip-hop high, the pervading of acts like 2 Chainz, Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne and Pitbull dealt the genre a pretty serious blow. That’s why the rise of acts like Kendrick Lamar was such an important part of hip-hop music in 2012. Lamar has been releasing music since 2003 when he was sixteen years old, but 2012 was the year when he really blew up with good kid, m.A.A.d city. Lamar’s second studio LP goes in its own direction, shoving aside the hook-drive contemporary hip-hop sound in favor of a more atmospheric, low-key feel. Lamar isn’t interested in making the kind of hedonistic album that often assures chart success; he tackles social topics that make the album seem like a throwback to earlier times in hip-hop, but the sound doesn’t feel dated at all. How often do you see rap artists cover alcoholism with the kind of frankness that Lamar did on “Swimming Pools (Drank)?” Just about never, and that’s just one excellent tack on an album full of them, from the introspection of “Bitch Don’t Kill My Vibe” to the epic storytelling of “The Art of Peer Pressure.” It is a lyrically-dense piece of musical work, marking a high point in Lamar’s career from both an artistic and commercial standpoint. At only twenty-five years old, Lamar is on top of the world and one can hope that he stays there for a long time.
As I said earlier, rock music has been fighting its way back into the mainstream, but largely with folk rock acts like Mumford & Sons and the Lumineers or with the return of old-school rockers like Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan and hell, now even David Bowie is back. The rock invasion of the charts often feels like it needs a little kick to it, and Halestorm was on hand to provide just that. I know there are people who will scoff at this, but they shouldn’t be too surprised; I wasn’t kidding when I called this one of my favorite albums of the year so far in my initial review of it. Yes, that was in April but now, eight months later, it stands as one of my favorites. The band’s second album shows a definite sense of growth by the group, with the instrumental work of Joe Hottinger, Josh Smith and Arejay Hale delivering and Lzzy Hale’s powerful vocals taking center stage. The first word that comes to mind when I think of The Strange Case Of… is “fun”; it has been a while since I’ve heard a rock/metal act that has actually seems to convey a sense of. There is a playful tone around the hard-edged rock anthems where many of the band’s contemporaries seem too bitter over the fact that pop and rap rules the charts to achieve. It’s not a perfect album obviously and there are a couple tracks that are two formulaic, but even those are carried through by Hale’s vocal work. Standout tracks like “Love Bites (So Do I),” “I Miss the Misery,” “Freak Like Me,” “Daughters of Darkness” and “American Boys” make this a keeper for me.
There are people who continue to hope for a reunion of those icons of 2000 political rap-metal, Rage Against the Machine. Many of those people would be well-served to turn to Flobots, who are the new masters of the genre. The Denver-based group, who made their first major impact on the music scene in 2008 with “Handlebars,” returned in 2012 with an album potent enough to leave many of Zach de la Rocha’s best efforts in the dust. Flobots’ The Circle in the Square is one of those rare albums that manages to be relevant to current events without seeming instantly dated. The group’s sound has found a new groove that hangs somewhere in-between the hip-hop weighted Fight With Tools and the rock-weighted Survival Story; musically they have never sounded more comfortable and energized. Meanwhile the lyrics are impossible to deny, whether listening to the rallying cry that is “Run (Run Run Run)” or the low-key yet strikingly powerful “#OccupyEarth.” The group makes no attempt at hiding which side of the political spectrum they fall on, but for those who aren’t adamantly opposed to their position they provide one hell of an album; it is their best to date and easily one of my favorites of the year.
Nas will always be chasing Illmatic. There’s simply no way of getting around it; when you debut on the music scene with an LP that completely changes the game, people are destined to wait for you to top yourself or bring about something just as good, as much as they are destined to be disappointed. It’s just the nature of the industry and it has been a curse for the Brooklyn-based rapper. While Life is Good doesn’t leave his watershed debut in the dust, it may just be the closest Nas has ever come to equaling that album artistically. In the four years since his last solo album, the controversial Untitled, Nas went through a nasty divorce from Kelis and had a son with her; both of these events flavor Life is Good. But it isn’t what you might expect from the famously incendiary rapper. This is a surprisingly non-bitter album when you consider how dark it could have gone. That isn’t to say that there aren’t some strong statements; Nas is nothing if not brutally honest on this album. But it is more introspective than angry; time has healed some of the wounds and now he’s looking at things more evenly. Whether you look at “Bye Baby,” where he chronicles the dissolution of his marriage, or “Daughters” in which he reflects on the difficulty of raising a daughter right in the face of celebrity, this is a hard-hitting album and Nas is not above taking some shots at himself. The diverse guests range from Amy Winehouse on the exceptional “Cherry Wine” to Rick Ross on “Accident Murderers,” but in truth the album avoids the guest star-driven urges of the genre in order to stand on its own. That was a wise choice, as Life is Good stands as my favorite album of the year on the strength of Nas’ undiluted work.
Few returns to the music scene made me happier to see than that of Rush. The Canadian prog rock icons have had one hell of a year; it was announced that they are set to finally get their long-overdue induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year, and they hit one of the higher notes of their incredible career with Clockwork Angels. The group had not released an album in over five years and while the band has never been bad or even remotely mediocre, I felt that Snakes & Arrows was a little bit uninspired compared to the rest of the band’s work. As such, I was looking for the venerable group to deliver and to say they did so is an understatement. To me Clockwork Angels is, without any exaggeration, the band’s best album in at least a couple decades. The group delivered a more focused and impressive effort here, loosely written around the idea of a man on a quest to follow his dreams. Neil Peart’s lyrics are some of my favorites of his pretty much ever and the band’s sound is just as good as they’ve ever been. There are a lot of bands who have lost their way well after they reach the ten year mark or even fifteen, buried under the weight of their back catalogue and impossibly high expectations. Rush has been rocking for over forty years and is still going as strong as they ever have before.
Amanda Palmer is at the absolute forefront of new trends within the music industry, and her fanbase is right along for the ride. What can you say about someone who took a Kickstarter-funded album and, without the strength of a record label’s marketing machine behind her, took that very album–which is far from the mainstream dance-pop chart behemoths–to a top 10 Billboard debut? Theatre is Evil is not just a triumph for Palmer and her new backing band the Grand Theft Orchestra; it is a triumph for independently-produced music. Palmer has said that she wants to change the way that the music industry works, and she managed to kick down the doors and stride on into the party here. But this album wouldn’t be at the top if it was just a chart success; it’s also an incredible album in an artistic sense. Theatre Is Evil is alternative pop at its finest, with Palmer’s exceptional lyrical skill combining with a constantly-changing but never jarring sound. This is music that never alienates the listener but yet never dumbs itself down either; it manages the rare feat of being musically accessible and yet intellectually and emotionally challenging. Intelligent and pop-culture driven but never without heart, this a tour de force album and easily my favorite of 2012.
MUSIC VIDEO A-GO-GO
I used this one once upon a time, back during my 5&1 days but this is a different column so I don’t consider it quite as much of a retread. (That and there are no good new-ish music videos). Felicia Day is one of my favorite icons of geek culture; the actress has not only appeared in a diverse number of geek-friendly TV shows but she has helped change the way that originally web programming is viewed, first through the pioneering series The Guild and then through her YouTube channel Geek & Sundry. She also occasionally does geek-friendly songs, such as this one. Enjoy “Gamer Girl, Country Boy” below:

Hey Hey Hey! It’s been a while so happy new year, happy birthday and happy st patty’s day! I have been so busy with school, my internship and making sure I have a nice work-life-school balance. But I’m back on here sharing with all of you on this new post!
So let’s get started.
Today’s post is going to center around 5 of my favorite actresses that really spill the tea about the twenty-something life. You’ve heard a lot from me in what I’ve gone through as a twenty-something, such as what I believed about relationships, the nothing is forever mentality, and finding my own worth, among many other things.
Instead of hearing it from me, read on to find out more about what advice these celebs would give us, as twenty somethings.
#1: Reese Witherspoon
“I thought I knew everything about love and relationships in my 20s. The ignorance of youth is bliss. As you get older, you start to realize that you don’t really know anything and life is a great traveling journey. Life is unexpected … you just never know what’s going to happen”
#2: Mandy Moore
Be more spontaneous. Say yes when people ask you out to dinner. Go on more trips. Don’t worry about the future…You’ll know who you are, you’ll know what you want. You’ll go through lulls in your career and your personal life and it will all build your character.
#3: Susan Sarandon
When I hear young girls complaining about superficial things — you’re at the peak of your physical beauty right now! Just enjoy it and stop worrying about your thighs being too big. If you’re upset with how you look at 25, life’s going to be tough
#4: Keira Knightly
Honestly, my early 20s were not much fun. Then after 25, things just got better and better. Maybe you stop caring as much about where you should be going and what other people think— which is all the shit that makes you very unhappy early on.
#5: Amy Adams
When I look at my 20s, or when I look at any period in my life, I think about how much time I’ve wasted trying to find the right man. It’s like, if I could go back and do it again, I would have taken guitar lessons or something. I would have put my energy into something that paid off in the end, instead of trying to improve myself for men. Oh, the time and the energy, trying to impress somebody who was actually a big jerk
I hope you enjoyed this blog post! I love you all and I really hope that things are looking up for you after reading this.

EL SEGUNDO, Calif.
Mitch Kupchak feels he got stuck in a quagmire created by the NBA when the Los Angeles Lakers' disallowed trade for Chris Paul forced the general manager to ship out Lamar Odom in another hasty deal.
Although Kupchak believes the Lakers can emerge from this messy start to training camp with few worries, he isn't done looking at dramatic ways to upgrade his team in Odom's absence.
"We are pursuing big deals right now, yes," Kupchak said Monday in the Lakers' war room. "That has not changed. More than one big deal, but there could be more than one big deal that involves players other than the two you're thinking of."
Kupchak realizes many Lakers fans are questioning everything from his planning skills to his sanity after he traded the versatile Odom to the rival Dallas Mavericks for not much in return on Sunday. The veteran executive insists his decision was made to escape a rapidly deteriorating situation with Odom, saying the Sixth Man of the Year demanded a trade after learning the Lakers attempted to ship him to New Orleans in a three-team deal for Paul.
"Lamar is probably more sensitive and emotional than most people, in particular our players, and that's a plus more than it's a minus," Kupchak said of Odom, who won two championships with the Lakers. "But in this case, he couldn't get over the fact that something like that took place. We were hoping that things would change in a day or two, but his representative called me on Saturday and said it's not going to change, and requested that (Odom) be traded. We worked together to find a spot that would give us the most flexibility going forward."
Although Kupchak has been working upwards of 17 hours per day since the lockout ended, he believes he made the best available moves in unprecedented circumstances during the Lakers' frenetic four days since they attempted to acquire Paul last Thursday, only to have the NBA squash the deal. Kupchak is still stunned and angry about Commissioner David Stern's decision.
"Completely unexpected," Kupchak said. "I'm not sure it's ever happened before. I'm not sure if it will ever happen again. It's unique circumstances with the organization being run by the NBA, so I was completely surprised, and we did the best we can to express our displeasure."
But when Odom learned he was a part of the deal that also would have moved Pau Gasol to Houston, the Kardashian-marrying reality-television star demanded to leave Hollywood - and after surveying the market and weighing patience against the possibility of deterioration, Kupchak moved Odom to Dallas for a first-round pick and a trade exception.
Kupchak hesitated to help the rival Mavericks, but wanted a trade that wouldn't require the Lakers to take on a player or a lengthy contract. He also shot down fans' suspicions that Odom's departure was a straight salary dump designed to remove about $18 million in expenses the already overstuffed payroll of the Lakers, who had a $91 million payroll and paid $21 million in luxury tax last season. | <urn:uuid:33387c08-ef83-4710-acc2-ace2af2d6891> | CC-MAIN-2014-23 | http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2011/Dec/12/lakers-still-looking-for-deals-after-paul-debacle/ | 2014-07-11T12:53:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-23/segments/1404776426922.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20140707234026-00064-ip-10-180-212-248.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.984727 | 663 |

The IntelliPAP AutoBiLevel provides comfortable therapy at higher pressures. AutoAdjust technology delivers a pressure that is adjusted to the user's needs on both inhalation and exhalation. The popular DeVilbiss SmartCode feature allows reporting data to be tracked thought the Internet. No other manufacturer matches the 5 year manufacturer warranty carried by the IntelliPAP AutoBiLevel.
The IntelliPAP AutoBiLevel System offers the comfort of AutoAdjust BiLevel therapy and the technology of DeVillbiss' exclusive Flow Rounding to help smooth out breathing patterns between IPAP and EPAP pressures. IntelliPAP units have an internal power supply eliminating the need for a bulky power brick and it is one of the quietest on the market.

The IntelliPAP AutoBiLevel uses the technology of AutoAdjust automatic pressure adjustment combined with bilevel treatment. The maximum IPAP and minimum EPAP levels can be adjusted to meet the needs of the user. The IntelliPAP uses an AutoBiLevel algorithm that allows it to use a lower mean air pressure for a more comfortable therapy.
The pressure support range (the difference between the IPAP and the EPAP) can be adjusted between zero and 12 cm H2O in increments of .5 cm H2O.The definition of apnea and hypopnea and the delay or ramp setting can be adjusted.
Flow Rounding Technology and SoftStart
The IntelliPAP AutoBiLevel uses Flow Rounding Technology to smooth out the abrupt change between IPAP (inspiration) and EPAP (exhalation) pressures to make the most of the therapy and maximize compliance. The IPAP and EPAP breathing patterns can be adjusted based on a setting of zero for no rounding and up to 5 for a maximum slope or slowest transition from IPAP to EPAP.
Soft Start slowly increases the pressure to the set IPAP pressure over the span of 10 seconds to ease the adjustment to the higher pressures that are frequently required in bilevel therapy.
Select the Auto On/Off option during set up to have the IntelliPAP AutoBiLevel automatically start the flow of air when you breathe into the mask. The air flow stops when the mask is removed and it no longer senses the breathing.
Battery Backup Option
The IntelliPAP machines use a separate connection for AC and DC power, allowing for the machine to be set up in a battery backup configuration. The included AC power cord can be plugged into an AC power source such as a wall outlet, and the optional IntelliPAP 12 Volt DC Power Cord can be plugged into a DC power source such as a battery. The IntelliPAP will use the AC power source by default, and if that source should fail, the machine will automatically convert to the DC power source, without any interruption in therapy. If the AC power source becomes available again, the machine will revert back. Please note that if using the heated humidifier, it will not function from DC power.
The IntelliPAP Remote Adherence Monitoring System of SmartCode is an easy way to review sleep data without the cost of buying software. SmartCode messages begin to display on the LCD screen the day after the first treatment. Each is a unique encrypted code containing the results of your sleep therapy. The IntelliPAP confirms compliance using the Adherence Score and doctors use the Adherence Percentage score to determine compliance.
SmartCode Adherence is based on the best thirty days of consecutive usage and the Codes can be generated in the following schedule:

DeVilbiss offers free firmware upgrades for the IntelliPAP Series of CPAP machines. For example, The AutoAdjust update allows existing owners to add SmartCode and SmartFlex technologies. You can check for the most recent firmware update here: Model DV5 Series Firmware Updates.
Once you have downloaded the firmware software, use the IntelliPAP CPAP to PC Firmware Upgrade Serial Cable to upload your DeVilbiss firmware to the machine from your computer. The cable connects to the back of the CPAP and to any PC serial port on your computer.
IntelliPAP users must have a PC serial port available for the firmware upgrade to work. The DeVilbiss software only supports a serial connection; USB-to-USB or other connections will not work. If your computer does not come with a serial port, CPAP.com provides a USB male to Serial male (9-pin) DB-9 RS-232 adapter that allows users to update their IntelliPAP CPAP machines through your computer's USB port. If you do not have a serial port available, then you will need to buy both cords together: IntelliPAP Firmware Upgrade Cable with USB-to-Serial PC Adapter.
Here are some basic instructions on how to install a firmware update once you have downloaded the software to your PC:
1. If a DV5M SmartLink Module is attached to the CPAP, be sure to remove before continuing.
2. Connect the CPAP to a free serial port with cable DV51D-615 and apply AC power to the CPAP device.
3. Close your web browser and all other open applications.
4. Run the DV5xFirmware.exe application Note: No files will be permanently installed on your computer.
5. The software will automatically search the computer serial ports for a supported CPAP device. If found, the "Connected CPAP Details" section will show information about the attached device.
6. Click the "Start" button to begin the firmware update. The progress bar and status messages will be updated as the firmware update proceeds. Wait for the update to complete before using your computer. Do not run any other applications during the update.
7. When finished, the software shows the results on the screen (OK or Fail). If the update was successfully completed, you can close the program by clicking the "Exit" button. If the update fails press "Start" to try again.
On-Board Memory and SD Card Requirements
The IntelliPAP AutoBiLevel can store up to 90 days of therapy data, and up to 3 years of usage data. If an SD memory card is used to retrieve data from the machine it must be a file format of FAT16. CPAP.com offers this card: SD Memory Card for IntelliPAP Machines as an option. SD cards with other formats, such as an SDHC card formatted for FAT32, will not work with the IntelliPAP machine.
A bacteria filter will not install directly to the air outlet port on the IntelliPAP Heated Humidifier. The filter is too bulky and there is not enough space. IntelliPAP humidifier owners can order the FlexiTube Angle Adapter for CPAP and BiPAP Machines to provide a spacer between the humidifier and the bacteria filter. Your CPAP hose can then fit onto the other end of the bacteria filter.

The DeVilbiss IntelliPAP system operates automatically between 110v and 240v AC. When traveling either inside or outside the USA, there are no switches to switch or fuses to change. The machine will automatically sense what voltage is needed and set itself to run on that power.
The user will need to adapt the plug that goes into the wall to fit the style of outlet socket that is being used. This is simply done with a Power Adapter Plug kit. This is the same type of plug adapter that would be used with a hair dryer or an electric shaver. World Traveler Power Adapter Plugs.
The IntelliPAP Series come equipped with a DC plug on the back of the unit. This allows the user to connect the CPAP to an external DC battery source. The IntelliPAP can be powered by plugging the 12volt DC Power Cord into a cigarette lighter plug. This is ideal for traveling by car, boat, or recreational vehicle that is equipped with a cigarette lighter plug.
Important Note: If using the heated humidifier with the IntelliPAP series, the units cannot be operated from DC power. A modified sine wave inverter of at least 120VAC is necessary to power both the machine and humidifier from a DC power source. CPAP.com carries two inverters that would.
Battery Backup Option
Because the IntelliPAP machines use a separate connection for AC and DC power, they can be set up in a battery backup configuration. The AC power cord is plugged AC power source such as a wall outlet, and the optional IntelliPAP 12 Volt DC Power Cord is plugged into a DC power source such as a battery. The IntelliPAP will use the AC power source when available, otherwise will convert to the DC power source, without any interruption in therapy. If the AC power source becomes available again, the machine will revert back. Please note that if using the heated humidifier, it will not function from DC power.
Weighing in at only 1.7 pounds the Freedom Battery is a terrific option for travel. Plus, the Freedom with a DC cable and connector peg suitable for use with the IntelliPAP AutoBiLevel so no need to purchase a separate DC cable. This lithium ion battery meets UN Manual Test and Criteria requirements for travel.
PLEASE NOTE: The IntelliPAP AutoBiLevel connects to the Freedom Battery using Tip "J", which is included with the Freedom Battery.
A CPAP machine provides air at a constant prescribed pressure. The air is delivered to the person through a tube and a CPAP mask. CPAP therapy provides a constant airflow which keeps the airway open so uninterrupted breathing is maintained during sleep. The air stream eliminates Sleep Apnea events and allows the person to get a restful sleep.
The level of air pressure required to maintain your airway is determined during your sleep study. Your doctor will write a prescription for a CPAP machine set at that pressure.
CPAP therapy is delivered through a nasal mask that seals around the nose, nasal pillows which seal at the nasal opening, or nasal prong masks that seal inside the nares. Full face masks are available for a person who breathes through both the nose and mouth. Many innovative and comfortable options are available and advances in the delivery of CPAP therapy are continually occurring.
For instance: Some machines offer a comfort feature such as FLEX or EPR technology. It provides exhalation relief, a slight drop in pressure at the time of exhalation to help make therapy more natural. APAP, BiPAP and BiLevel machines offer various levels of pressure throughout the night.

Here is a video explaining differences in power cords and power supplies of various CPAP machines:
Here are some other suggested actions to care for your machine:
- Keep the area around your machine clean by removing any dust from the area to improve the air quality delivered to your machine and to you.
- Keep the air intake of the machine unblocked. Curtains, bedding, and papers can easily block the air intake of your machine, reducing the airflow.
- If a humidifier is used with your therapy, do not pick up the machine with the humidifier attached. With most machines it is easy to spill water from the humidifier chamber into the machine causing damage. Manufacturer warranties are voided by water damage to the machine. To avoid this, remove the chamber from the humidifier and then remove the humidifier from the machine rather than transporting them together.
- If a humidifier is used, empty the water from the chamber every morning. Accidents happen. If a family pet or family member moves the machine and humidifier with water in the chamber it is more likely that water could be spilled into your machine. Water damage to a machine voids the manufacturer warranty.
CPAP air is an irritant - to one degree or another - to everyone. In some cases the irritation dries out the nasal passages and may cause bleeding. It may also cause swelling, excess mucous, congestion or sneezing. The irritation may create a very fertile ground for infections to begin. The irritation may be cumulative, building up over time. The only way to reduce the irritation is to add moisture.
Humidification is therefore a critical part of CPAP Therapy.
There are two types of humidifiers:
Cold (Passover) Humidifiers
Yes. Federal law requires we have a valid prescription on file before we ship your mask, machine, humidifier, or EPAP therapy, including Provent and Bongo RX. You will also need a prescription to purchase the Nightbalance POSA device.

Any mask will work with any machine, with one important exception. The ResMed AirMini is only compatible with certain ResMed CPAP masks. Compatible masks for the AirMini are as follows:
- ResMed AirFit™ N20 Nasal Mask
- ResMed AirFit™ F20 Full Face
- ResMed AirTouch™ F20 Full Face
- ResMed AirFit™ P10 Nasal Pillow
When considering another CPAP, APAP or BiPAP machine from ResMed or any other manufacturer, mask compatibility extends to all brands. The AirMini uses non-standard tubing to connect the machine to the mask, and is the primary reason why other masks won't work with the AirMini. Despite this issue, many of our customers consider the AirMini to be an excellent machine.

The data capable machines not only let you know how many hours the machine was used, like pure compliance tracking machines, but also tracks advanced information such as AHI, leak rate, and average pressure (if using an APAP).
Depending on the machine, the information can be reviewed or accessed
- On Machine Screen Display. Machines that display advanced tracking using the on machine display allow for fast review of therapy metrics. Many people like to use the on screen display to check every morning. Information such as AHI and leak rate for the previous night are displayed allowing the user to make adjustments such as mask fit. The information provided on the on machine screen is usually average values over different time frames, such as 1 day (last night), 7 night, 30 nights, etc.
- SmartCode. SmartCode is a code that is accessed through the machine's display. This code is then inputted into the machine's product page on CPAP.com and a summary report is generated. You can see a Sample Report here. An example of an on machine display with the SmartCode is shown below. The only machine with advanced data capable SmartCode is the IntelliPAP AutoAdjust. The SmartCode provides therapy data averages for the following time frames: 1 day (last night), 7 day, 30 day, 90 day, and cumulative. This is like the information provided from the on screen display, however the information is displayed in chart format instead of a single number at a time.
- Optional External Software. Some machines have external software that can be used to download the data from the machine for detailed analysis. External software, unlike the on machine display or the SmartCode, allows you and your doctor to access any night of use. Further, the information for any given night can be analyzed hour by hour. This allows you and your doctor to look for patterns in your data through the night; for instance, do you tend to have more apneas in the early morning? Or do you begin to breathe with your mouth open in the middle of the night? Some external software is available for sale to patients, other software is only sold by the manufacturer to sleep professionals. External software may require other components to be able to get the information from the machine onto you computer with the software installed.

"Another set of passing feet – it happened often in a hospital – but this one too quick and smooth, not touching the ground enough between strides. A smell, a sweet and musky smell that made her lips twitch at the corners in a small smile. Then, a cool hand on the metal of the outside handle and the opening of the door. "

Lucy Amelia Winters sat on the patient bench in the quiet office, waiting to see the doctor. Of course, it wasn’t just any doctor – if it had been her palms wouldn’t have been sweaty and her heart wouldn’t be about to force its way out of her chest. She frowned at the thought and closed her eyes. A succession of long, deep breaths and she found she could force her pulse to slow to a rapid throbbing instead of a hyper paced hum. She expelled the breath from between full, peach tinted lips and opened her eyes once more. Her eyes were wide and an electric blue – an odd unnatural blue. People often found it difficult to keep eye contact with her or even to believe she wasn’t wearing exotic contacts. It wasn’t as if she cared terribly much if people believed her or not – if it was easier for them to accept that her eyes were a product of contacts then she wasn’t going to go out of her way to convince them otherwise. Her eyes matched the eyes of the man in the photo that she had tucked in her bag – a newspaper clipping actually, from Chicago. And it wasn’t of him, explicitly, but he was in it and even in black and white she knew they shared the same compassionate, twinkling eyes.
Eyes that twinkled in a way that should have only occurred in stories about young children heading off to magic school. Of course, such things didn’t exist. Magic did, and quiet possible schools for teaching it once upon a time, but they didn’t take place in giant castles with ghosts and wands and potions lessons. Human propaganda, that was all that was. Oh well, it helped keep them hidden, didn’t it? And being hidden was rather essential to survival. She shook her head, as if the action could clear her mind, and her eyes fell on the door again. Another set of passing feet – it happened often in a hospital – but this one too quick and smooth, not touching the ground enough between strides. A smell, a sweet and musky smell that made her lips twitch at the corners in a small smile. Then, a cool hand on the metal of the outside handle and the opening of the door. She tried not to make a sound, she really did. However, her heart did that thing where it started pounding almost painfully against her ribcage and her hand immediately went to her throat as if that could hold it down should it try to jump up and escape. She felt an electric current rush over her skin and warmth spread over her arms.
Oh, great. She was physically glowing. Calm down, calm down. She repeated the mantra in her head, knowing the glowing would be a little difficult to explain as a symptom for anything and as soon as it began her skin lost the shimmering effect. It was in fact, just in time. The next second seemed to last forever, and then she saw his face and felt a little dizzy and out of breath all at once. Then her eyes fluttered shut and she felt her head hit the papered surface behind her and she fainted.
“Lucy? Miss Winters, can you hear me? My name is Carlisle, Carlisle Cullen. You’ve fainted – can you hear me? No, she seems fine – low blood sugar perhaps. Oh, hold on… ah, here she is. Lucy? You fainted, let’s have you sit up here.” A very cold hand on the small of her back, doing all the work as it gently propped her up and then, the hand replaced by the cold wall against her back, allowing her to lean against it. A rather bright light, shining in her eyes, causing the iris to contract and become a pinpoint sized dot in a sea of glittering blue. The door closed and someone left although she couldn’t imagine who. His voice demanded her focus again.
“Follow my finger, Lucy.”
“I’m trying, but as it happens,” she muttered, looking away and rubbing her eyes, “I can’t see.”
“Are you having problems seeing me?”
She let out a soft laugh, and her hand gently came to close around his wrist and push away the offending light. “Yes, someone was sticking a pen light in my eye, actually.” She replied finally, blinking a few times to refocus her gaze. Bad idea. She found herself gasping for breath again, and he took a step back, an almost amused look on his angelic face. She knew he would be different, beautiful – all vampires were but it still shocked her. Of course she didn’t look at him and find herself attracted to him- he was her father for God’s sake – but she still found it difficult to look at him and not be in awe.
“I fainted.” She stated finally, finding her voice. He nodded, seemingly sensing her… discomfort and taking a seat at the desk where what she assumed was her folder lay.
“Yes – I walked in and you fainted.” His voice wasn’t smug or arrogant, if not only slightly amused. He didn’t seem over confidant or vain but then, she hadn’t expected him to. She blushed and fiddled with the hem of her crinkled paper dress, crossing her ankles.
“I’ll be that doesn’t happen often.” She swallowed roughly. He chuckled and her heart fluttered. Such a beautiful sound, his laughter. She raised a hand to touch her own lips, wondering if she sounded like that when she laughed. Her gaze flitted to her pile of clothes on one of the chairs. Great, she must have seemed like a slob, her attire all thrown in a pile and to the side. First impressions, however, were clearly out the window anyway. She was brought back to the conversation at hand but his voice – just as, if not more, beautiful then his laugh.
“You’d be surprised.” He replied quietly, his smile there but almost too subtle to read, as if in on some private joke. She blushed deeper still and shrugged, trying to regain her ability to think intelligent thoughts and form coherent sentences.
“I missed lunch, my apologies.” She tried to sound nonchalant, off hand. She wasn’t sure if she just ended up sounding offended. Of course, he could never offend her. Such a wondrous creature – she doubted it was possible.
“Lunch –not as important as breakfast but still, one must eat.”
She choked on her breath and she found him in front her again. Then, a thought struck her and she couldn’t suppress a smirk, forcing her eyes to his. He stared back, his eyes smoldering, holding her gaze too long. She blushed red again and looked away. However, she wasn’t willing to give up this opportunity for dramatic irony.
He didn’t even falter. Figures. “Of course, three meals a day, all the correct food from each food group – you do eat don’t you? I personally like bonbons, although I do have to have them imported and they are hardly one of the main food groups…” his rambling was endearing and almost human. As he spoke, without her even realizing, he had wrapped the blood pressure monitor around her arm.
“You’ve done this before, I assume. It will pinch a bit, only for-”
“I’m not four, Dr. Cullen.” She frowned. Lucy had never liked being regarded as a child – her body was seventeen but she was far older. He smiled, humoring her.
“Of course. Well, all done.”
Gah, how did he do that? Red eyed vampires didn’t… dazzle her. They didn’t make it hard to think or to focus on what was being done around her. She tugged her arm out of his slender fingers, feeling the heat creep up her neck again. He smiled again – that almost imperceptible smile, and she wondered if he always smiled like that.
Disgusting. A wood tongue depressor. Once it was out of her mouth she made a face.
“Do you even know what you’re looking for? You didn’t even ask me what my symptoms were.” She pointed out, scooting closer to the edge of the bench. He glanced up at her, his brow furrowed ever so slightly.
“Is there anything you didn’t tell the nurse?” he motioned absently to the folder where he had been making notes. She blushed again.
Just stop talking altogether, it might go smoother,She thought fiercely.
“No, I guess that’s it.”
“Are you sure? I have here…” he basically rode the chair to the desk and she suppressed a small laugh. “Stomach discomfort, excessive tiredness that could be considered lethargic, general aches and pains…You know something, Lucy? Your file is very empty. Almost vague. Did you come here with your parents?”
“My parents are dead.”
Well it was true. And better then, “Oh no, you’re my dad and my mom is dead.”
He cleared his throat. “I am very sorry to hear that, Lucy. Who is your acting guardian, if I may ask?”
“I’m my own. Have you found anything wrong with me, Dr.Cullen? Because I have to go… do other things and…”
Tell me you have to keep me over night or that I can never leave, I would be okay with that! She practically screamed in her mind. It made her heart hurt, thinking of leaving him. There wasn’t enough time in the world. He was talking, and she only caught the last part. Blood tests?
“I… hate needles.”
“It’s not a big needle, Lucy. If we do the blood work, we can see if you are iron deficient and if you are, we will be able to treat it right away.”
The way he looked at her then; she would have thrown herself off a cliff if he had asked.
“Uh, yeah. Sure. Blood tests are fine.”
He smiled warmly, and nodded, the folder under his arm. “I will leave you to dress and then the nurse will make the appointment for you, alright?”
She nodded, mutely. He smiled again.
“Nice to meet you, Lucy.”
“Nice to meet you, too.” A pause, and he left. “I love you..” The last words fell from her lips, almost inaudibly and she fought back the instinct to run after him, to cry, to tell him everything. She dressed, and as she let the truth set in. That was her father and she did love him. More then she could have fathomed, more then she had been prepared for, more then anything she could have hoped or desired or expected. Everything she had read in her mothers diary was truer now – his compassion, his laughter, his brilliant eyes, his tenderness. She passed by the cars parked along the curb, catching her reflection in the dark. Golden curls fell loosely down her back, stopping under her shoulder blades and her face was soft and heart shaped. Blue eyes, long thick lashes, slender features and high cheek bones and full, pretty lips. It was like looking in a mirror when she looked at him and it thrilled her and terrified her all at once. There was no going back now. | <urn:uuid:f7688ed5-6fc7-4baa-8154-239a1a9664d6> | CC-MAIN-2015-18 | http://www.twilightarchives.com/read/6817 | 2015-04-27T15:38:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-18/segments/1429246658904.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20150417045738-00137-ip-10-235-10-82.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.986291 | 2,731 |

As ordered reported by the House Committee on Ways and Means on April 29, 2014
H.R. 4453 would amend the Internal Revenue Code to make permanent a five-year recognition period for built-in gains of S corporations, retroactive to January 1, 2014. Under current law, a corporation that meets certain requirements may elect to be taxed as an S corporation, which generally pays no corporate-level tax, unlike a C corporation. For corporations that convert from C corporations to S corporations, or S corporations that receive assets under certain conditions from C corporations, there is a corporate-level tax on certain built-in gains of certain assets, with a 10-year recognition period under current law. This legislation makes permanent the five-year recognition period for S corporation built-in gains that was generally in effect for taxable years from 2011 through 2013. The legislation also applies to regulated investment companies and real estate investment trusts.
The staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) estimates that enacting H.R. 4453 would reduce revenues, thus increasing federal deficits, by $1.5 billion over the 2014-2024 period.
The Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010 establishes budget-reporting and enforcement procedures for legislation affecting direct spending and revenues. Enacting H.R. 4453 would result in revenue losses in each year beginning in 2015.
JCT has determined that the bill contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act. | <urn:uuid:2449dedc-f9d4-4dcb-b62d-b91e84bf1b59> | CC-MAIN-2015-40 | https://www.cbo.gov/publication/45322 | 2015-10-09T01:33:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-40/segments/1443737913039.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20151001221833-00125-ip-10-137-6-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.945064 | 309 |
WikiLeaks reveals NATO attack plan against Russia
One of the telegrams are signed by the head of the State Department, Hillary Clinton. "The plan is secret," emphasized Clinton, to the astute U.S. diplomats at NATO.
Luis Britto Garcia
The British newspaper The Guardian printed a telegram reproduced by the WikiLeaks site, this time a NATO plan for a massive attack on Russia. The plan for large-scale war against the Russians predicts the displacement of nine military divisions from the U.S., Britain, Germany and Poland.
According to the Guardian, the attack is predicted to include the ports of Germany and Poland to be used to receive the naval assault from the U.S. and Britain.
Members of the Russian government protested against the plan - as it is the same thing that has been revealed through the publication of telegrams between embassies and the U.S. government by WikiLeaks.
"We have to receive guarantees that such plans are going to be canceled and that NATO does not consider Russia an enemy country," affirmed the Russian envoy to NATO at the last meeting held in Lisbon.
One of the telegrams is signed by the very head of the State Department, Hillary Clinton, dated January 26, to the American diplomats at NATO. She emphasizes that the plan has to be kept in strict secrecy. "The United States believes strongly that this plan should not be discussed in public. They are classified as "the top secret level of NATO," the telegram says.
"Public discussion of contingency plans would undermine their military value," she adds, "allowing them to expose NATO's plans. This weakens all of our allies."
She also directs American diplomats to lie to the press, in case of leaks. She suggested evasive answers such as: "NATO does not discuss specific plans." Agents are instructed to say that "the plans of NATO, are not directed at any country."
The Russian representative, Dmitry Rogozin, specifically questioned this last passage of Hillary's telegram. "Who else would this military plan be directed toward? Against Sweden, Finland, Greenland, Iceland, against polar bears or against the Russian bear?" He was ironic. A member of the Foreign Ministry, who requested anonymity from the Guardian, was more direct saying, "this and other documents stunned and provoked many other questions."
Furthermore, the Guardian highlights his amazement that the Yankee diplomats' telegrams treat the subject with total levity because "there is not one mention or concern about the potentially catastrophic implications of such an armed clash between the two largest nuclear powers in the world."
The pretext for the attack plan is to defend the new Baltic members of NATO, which happen to surround Russia, namely Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia. The telegrams suggest "to expand the plan that already exists for the defense of Poland." It just so happens that the Russians did not develop any consolidation of specifically targeted missiles against ground and air from Poland or other countries, but built their own protection, contrary to what the U.S. did with the "missile shield" planned by the Bush administration.
In a telegram dated October 2009, the U.S. ambassador to NATO, Ivo Daalder, says that both Hillary Clinton and President Obama expressed support for the development of the military plan against Russia.
Daalder suggests to not to make it clear that Russia is a potential target, by the adoption of a "generic plan" for moving troops to the Baltic countries while not mentioning against whom these troops would be directed - in case of leak - not to cause or provoke constraints with Moscow. Well as felt and suspected by Russian Representative Rogozin: "If we are going to hunt rabbit, why do you have weapons to kill bear?"

Seeking Comfort from the Heat in Comfort, Texas
A bald cypress tree stands watch over Cypress Creek in Comfort, Texas.
Drip. Drip. Drip. That’s the sound of the sweat that rapidly dripped off my forehead as I pedaled slowly up a hill on the access road of Interstate 10 at about 12:30 p.m.
The temperature was over 100 degrees and marching swiftly toward a high of 106, marking one of the hottest days of the year, in the hottest August on record for the region. What a weekend for an overnight bicycle tour!
My destination was Comfort, Texas, and finding comfort from the heat was foremost in mind after leaving my house in San Antonio at about 6:30 a.m. The small town of Comfort is nestled in the Texas Hill Country, and my planned route was about 47 miles one way with approximately 2,500 feet of climbing.
Fortunately, I chose a route that seemed to offer opportunities to replenish my water supply at almost the exact times I needed it. ”Ice, please …” I often asked as I stopped to re-fill two water bottles at each stop. Water became a critical lifeline as the mercury blasted through triple digits, so I made sure that I stopped often to drink or just stand in the shade from time to time and rest.
I had a “cheesy pig” during a late breakfast at the incredible Bear Moon Bakery in Boerne, and enjoyed talking to a number of cyclists out for their morning rides. One of them took a photo of me and my loaded touring bicycle, seeming to marvel at the concept of someone using their bicycle for travel to a destination.
Lunch at the Waring General Store made the final stretch to Comfort possible!
For lunch, I enjoyed a cheeseburger and fries at the historic Waring General Store. The cook even branded my burger with a star! I felt strangely honored. I also knew that consumption of the entire burger and fries would have all but ended my bid to make it to my destination, so I hate half and moved on before I could change my mind.
Riders are greeted with small-town charm and historic buildings like the Comfort Public Library (right).
It was time then to make my final approach to Comfort, so I headed due west. Like most of the other segments of my planned route, I encountered very little car traffic. I’m always amazed at just how easy bicycle travel can be with a little planning. There are so many small roads that have been long forgotten by motorists lured to wider, faster interstates. This has left a huge network of smaller, slower roads perfectly suited to the bicycle tourist.
In another hour or so, I was crossing the Guadalupe River and making my way to the Heirloom Bed & Breakfast, where gracious hosts Tom and Frankie Parsons were awaiting my arrival. So, I found that bicycle travel in oven-like temperatures is indeed possible, even if it isn’t high on my "smartest things I’ve done" list.
Rest came easy in the "casita," a two-bedroom apartment at the Heirloom Bed & Breakfast.
The Heirloom Bed & Breakfast turned out to be just the remedy for a tired, dehydrated traveler on two wheels. I stayed two nights in the “casita," a small two-bedroom apartment on the property that was full of Southern charm. Frankie Parsons' breakfasts were amazing, and sipping one of her homemade Orange Julius smoothies soon made my trials and tribulations in the heat a distant memory.
My family arrived and we enjoyed local favorites such as the Cypress Creek Grill, PoPo’s Restaurant, and even the emergence of a half million Mexican free-tailed bats at nearby Old Tunnel Wildlife Management Area!
In the end, I did find comfort in Comfort, Texas. And bicycle tour number-six became another experience I know I will look back on fondly.

Ballistic says LG Revolution 2 cases are "in the works"
Strangely, it looks like extreme case maker Ballistic is already moving forward in crafting a specialized case for the upcoming Android powered smartphone to keep it in good health after a drop to the floor – or a smack against the wall. Anyways, one of our skill eyed readers managed to take notice that the Ballistic Shell Gel Series case for the LG Revolution 2 is actually "in the works."
And by works, we’d assume that they’re mass-producing these babies as we speak – for an eventual launch, of course. Looking at the listing on its site, the case is graced with a retail price of $34.99, which might seem steep for any case, but considering that this isn’t an ordinary one, its pricing is quite justifiable.
leaked rendered shots of the LG Spectrum already, and by looking at the cutout for the handset’s 8-megapixel camera on the case itself, it does line up perfectly to the rendered shot from before. With CES just right around the corner, we’d bet that this handset will be making its presence known at the big show.

Only complaint from my friends Revolution is the death of battery. And she swears LTE is off. Guess we will see if LG can start playing with the Big boys in the Android world.

Lollyphile, the crazy company behind the Absinthe, Maple-Bacon and Wasabi-Ginger suckers, has launched Candyphile, a candy-of-the-month club. Available in 4-month ($96), 6-month ($120) and 12-month ($204) subscriptions, you'll get a 4-pack of unique candy the first week of every month. But this isn't stuff like Twix and Butterfinger. Instead, you'll be getting hand-picked and hard-to-find candy that isn't distributed to most parts of the country.

Much has been written about happiness in recent times. While I am a fan of being happy, why place the search for happiness at the centre of our existence?
For one to know true happiness one must also know the depths of despair. Yet we avoid despair, and when we are in despair, we see ourselves as if we have a nasty disease.
Yet it is through the lens of sadness and despair that we find compassion, and compassion is one of the greatest of all human emotions. It is also the portal to beauty and love.
It seems that the forever quest for happiness is one of the addictions of our modern world. We always want more, there is never enough. Add the scarcity of happiness to our long list of what we experience as scarce in a world that propagates scarcity as a currency on which the few thrive while others, under the spell of scarcity, suffer.
What would happen in your life it you gave up the quest for happiness and just lived it all? Road the roller coaster of love, happiness, heartache, heartbreak, joy, anger, frustration, care?
What would happen if you experienced all emotions as equally valid, neither good nor bad?
Are we really here on earth to pursue happiness? Or do we have a very different role to play?
Is the pursuit of happiness just another expression of our wallowing in narcissism?
From the words of the mystics…
Some of you say, “Joy is greater than sorrow,” and other says, “Nay, sorrow is the greater.”
But I say unto you, they are inseparable. Together they come, and when one sits alone with you at your board, remember that the other is asleep on your bed.

Marijuana opponents act like when marijuana becomes legal, our roads will instantly become so unsafe that everyone should fear for their lives. The fact is, traffic fatalities are at an all time low in Colorado after they legalized marijuana. But never mind that pesky fact, clearly there is a need to find ways to fix this problem that doesn’t exist (sarcasm). That’s why the State of Colorado recently granted $250,000 to a company that creates alcohol breathalyzers to see if they can develop a similar device for marijuana. Per The Cannabist:
The grant, which requires matching funds from the company, will allow Lifeloc Technologies to speed development of a tool that will be marketed to law enforcement, corrections, schools and workplaces.
“There is no equivalent of a marijuana breathalyzer today. Law enforcement does not have a fast, reliable and non-invasive THC impairment test available at roadside,” Lifeloc president Barry Knott said in a statement.
The fact of the matter is there will likely never be a device that can accurately measure current marijuana impairment. Yes, a device can detect if someone has marijuana in their system, but since marijuana stays in a person’s system for weeks and weeks at a time, there’s no way to determine if that individual had recently consumed marijuana, or had done so safely weeks before being pulled over on suspicion of driving under the influence. This grant is a waste of money, but I’m sure there are political motivations behind it, which is why I wouldn’t be surprised to see even more money thrown at the idea if/when it fails to succeed. | <urn:uuid:e5443c12-cbd9-43f4-8242-bab7de885c55> | CC-MAIN-2017-13 | http://www.theweedblog.com/colorado-is-funding-a-marijuana-breathalyzer/ | 2017-03-27T22:24:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-13/segments/1490218189534.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20170322212949-00212-ip-10-233-31-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.96187 | 341 |

OW Expands Production And Facilities In US
Oriental Weavers, the world’s largest manufacturer of machine-woven rugs, announces significant capital investments in its Dalton, Georgia manufacturing facility. The company just completed installation in March of an exclusive five-meter loom, which is the fastest and most technologically advanced loom in North America. The investment comes on the heels of a similar prominent 5-meter loom installation that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2014 that increased domestic capacity twenty-seven percent in 2015 over the previous year.
The new loom is the fastest machine on the market today and will help the company continue its commitment to growth of its Made in the USA products. The new equipment, thirty-five percent faster than a traditional four-meter loom, gives Oriental Weavers the exclusive ability to more efficiently and rapidly produce domestically made products, all while diminishing waste, eliminating excessive inventory and reducing the amount of energy needed to weave each rug.
The growth in domestic weaving production also requires an expansion to the company’s yarn production capacity. In order to increase yarn production and promote energy savings, Oriental Weavers is completing the installation of a new Superba heat-setting yarn line. Using the latest technology, the machine can produce fifty percent more yarn each year than the company’s previous equipment. The new technology is also very environmentally friendly; this state of the art heat-set machine reduces energy consumption by thirty percent.
These significant investments in production capabilities over the course of 18 months reinforces Oriental Weavers’ dedication to its superior inventory levels that have become synonymous with the brand as well as the company’s ability to quickly adapt to business trends and conditions. It is also important to note, consumers have become more in tune with where products are made and the desire for American-made goods has increased considerably. This new machinery allows for an additional seventeen percent increase in domestically made products over 2015.
Because of the exceptional increase in production in 2015 and planned for 2016 and beyond, the company is putting the finishing touches on a more than 200,000 square foot expansion to its Dalton, Georgia distribution center. The addition will accommodate the increased production as well as provide jobs for skilled workers living in the Northwest Georgia area. The distribution center expansion is expected to be fully operational by June 2016.
“Our customers’ needs come first at Oriental Weavers,” said Jonathan Witt, senior vice president. “Open floor plans that have become increasingly popular over the last decade and more and more of today’s consumers demand larger sized rugs. Our new five-meter looms allow us to accommodate that trend with much less waste that was created when producing room sized rugs on the industry’s standard four-meter looms. In addition, retailers expect product to deliver at a faster pace than ever before thanks to the immediate demands of today’s home delivery minded consumer. Incorporating these two exclusive five-meter looms into our manufacturing mix, along with the new heat-setting yarn line, we can accommodate retailer needs faster and more efficiently all while reducing energy consumption and providing more American jobs. Everyone benefits, everyone wins.” | <urn:uuid:181edd13-f1e4-4cac-8470-062386320ad6> | CC-MAIN-2021-31 | https://oria.org/news/ow-expands-production-and-facilities-in-us/ | 2021-07-26T22:33:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-31/segments/1627046152156.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20210726215020-20210727005020-00646.warc.gz | en | 0.950059 | 646 |

From the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s 1963 March on Washington and the 1970 Kent State demonstrations in Ohio, to the 2011 Wisconsin Teacher's Strike, protests have been instrumental throughout U.S. history as citizens have used their right to free speech and assembly to speak out against perceived injustice. But the right to free speech isn't always free. In fact, when protesting in many Utah locales, it often comes with a price tag.
Activists with the Utah Animal Rights Coalition (UARC) and Direct Action Everywhere staged several protests this summer outside of the Lagoon amusement park in Farmington, speaking out against what they allege is the park's mistreatment of zoo animals. After demonstrations over several Saturdays, coalition director Jeremy Beckham along with Lexie Levitt, Direct Action Everywhere organizer (and former City Weekly intern/freelance writer), were charged with class B misdemeanors for violating a city ordinance that made it illegal to "participate in any advanced, planned free-speech expression activity without first obtaining a permit for the event."
Representatives of UARC say they contacted the city of Farmington via email asking it to waive the $50 per-protest fee but were denied. The protests took place on a public sidewalk and did not obstruct automobile or foot traffic. The charges were later dropped.
After UARC and the American Civil Liberties Union of Utah sued Farmington City for violating the coalition's free-speech rights, the Farmington City Council repealed the $50 permit requirement on Sept. 15.
Every municipality is different, and permit laws are not identical. In Salt Lake City, for example, a $5 "Free Expression Permit" requires 30-days advance notice to process. However, according to the city's website, "Applications for spontaneous free expression activities, occurring due to some current event, can be submitted 14 or fewer days from event, to include day of."
Salt Lake City Attorney Margaret Plane says while the city's permit is different from Farmington's, it's still "constitutional."
"[It's] just meant to plan for the things the capital city deals with," she says.
Still, differences between the cities' laws can make the permit process especially difficult for protesters. A City Weekly reporter contacted 30 municipalities along the Wasatch Front to learn the requirements on protests involving 100 or fewer people who want to protest on public sidewalks or in parks without blocking auto or pedestrian traffic. Each city transferred the reporter, on average, between three and four times, usually shuffling calls between the city manager, parks & recreation, the mayor's office and eventually to the city police departments. Most of the calls ended up with the city's chief of police.
Of the 30 cities, 16 have laws requiring protesters obtain permission to protest. Permit costs range from free (in North Ogden, Layton, South Salt Lake, West Jordan, South Jordan, Cottonwood Heights, Eagle Mountain, Pleasant Grove and Lindon) up to $100 (in Holladay).
While "time, place and manner" restrictions on free speech are commonly applied, they must be applied without regard to the content of the speech. "When the government puts restrictions on free-speech activities, it needs to do so in a very narrowly tailored sort of way," says John Mejia, legal director of the ACLU of Utah. Two years ago, the ACLU of Utah successfully sued the Utah Department of Transportation for requiring protesters from the group iMatter to purchase a multimillion-dollar insurance policy and sign indemnification forms—in addition to paying the city for a Free Expression permit—before the group could march on State Street in Salt Lake City.
Three years ago, the ACLU also sued Brigham City over its permit requirement after the city refused to allow members of the Main Street Church of Brigham City to distribute religious fliers on public sidewalks at an open house prior to the dedication of the Brigham City LDS Temple.
But, according to activist Beckham, the problem with having to file a lawsuit every time a municipality requires a permit for free speech is that even the possibility of a potential misdemeanor is enough to scare away some protestors from participating. "There are other people who came to that protest besides Lexie and me who have now dropped completely out of the activist community," says Beckham. Often this is because employers enforce strict "no criminal charges" policies. "These people are now terrified that the police are going to track them down," Beckham says, to the point that some tried to have protest photos deleted from their social media.
Davis County Attorney Troy Rawlings says the charges never should have been filed in the first place. "I agree with them," says Rawlings. "[Beckham and Levitt] should not have been charged. It's a prosecution that should not have commenced. It's an ordinance that should be repealed, and it is unconstitutional."
Rawlings says that when he met with Farmington officials, he told them that there was no way they could win a legal challenge against the law, particularly because Farmington did not apply the law equally to all free-speech events. "They weren't requiring a permit for the Farmington Junior High cheerleaders out on the street waiving at people ... They didn't require a person dressed in a clown suit outside of a tax business to get a permit."
Are these Utah cities purposefully intending to infringe upon the free-speech rights of citizens? Most likely no, says Connor Boyack, head of the Libertas Institute, which is conducting a similar study regarding municipalities throughout Utah. "Farmington's rushed repeal of their protest permit requirement is an indication that such ordinances are not well thought-out," says Boyack. "Hopefully, Farmington's fix will be replicated elsewhere."
Clarification: This article was updated above to reflect that both Jeremy Beckham with Utah Animal Rights Coalition and Lexie Levitt with Direct Action Everywhere organized protests at Lagoon. Utah Animal Rights Coalition was the organization that filed suit against Farmington.
Of 30 municipalities along the Wasatch Front surveyed, 14 required no protest permit; nine required a protest permit but did not charge a fee; and seven required a permit with a fee. Here are the data:

As jobs disappear and economic anxiety spreads, the incoming Congress is showing signs of getting serious about health care reform, and the entrenched health insurers are signaling their willingness to negotiate.
Two trade groups, America’s Health Insurance Plans and the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association, are saying they would guarantee coverage for people with pre-existing medical conditions, if they can get a mandate for individual coverage by everyone, sick or well.
This “concession” comes as seven senators responsible for health legislation met yesterday and promised to work together–Democrats Max Baucus, Chris Dodd, Ted Kennedy and John D. Rockefeller IV along with Republicans Michael Enzi, Charles Grassley and Orrin Hatch.
The imminent appointment of Tom Daschle as Obama’s point man on the issue is another sign that the failing economy is putting more pressure on Washington to create a health care safety net for everyone just as the 1930s produced Social Security for the old.
Without limits on predatory premiums and safeguards against fraud by providers, guaranteed coverage would do nothing to solve the crisis in which one out of every three dollars spent on health is going to insurers’ overhead and profits.
But at least the issue is on the table… | <urn:uuid:b9731794-e397-4390-9421-f16411c24aa1> | CC-MAIN-2015-06 | http://themoderatevoice.com/24514/health-care-in-a-sick-economy/ | 2015-02-01T18:10:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-06/segments/1422121478981.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20150124174438-00057-ip-10-180-212-252.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.953139 | 247 |
Last Tuesday, I took the kids to Clearwater Beach for the afternoon, and the people I was with and I packed a picnic with drinks, sandwiches, cookies, plus fruit.
- I packed some water plus Gatorade for the kids plus a couple of Dunkin Donuts Latte’s for me.
The temperatures in Tampa were supposed to be 97 degrees. The people I was with and I drove to Clearwater before it got genuinely hot. The people I was with and I were set up on the beach with our umbrella, cooler, blankets, tent, plus chairs, before the sun was at the highest point. The people I was with and I stayed at the beach for 3 or 4 minutes… When the kids started to get tired, every one of us went back home, then since the kids had lunch in the car, every one of us did not have to scramble around when every one of us got home from Clearwater Beach. When every one of us did arrive home after going to the beach, the kids plus I were surprised to come home to a hot plus uncomfortable setting. The a/c clearly wasn’t laboring officially I got on the phone instantly plus contacted an Heating & A/C service provider plus Tampa Bay. I called a couple of venues before I found someone that could help me instantly, most people wanted to make an appointment for that next morning, however there was genuinely no way I wanted to spend the night without cool air in the house, however about an minute after every one of us got home, the A/C repair service guy arrived. It turned out to be the fiance of a man that is laboring in my office. I remembered the guy from a Christmas celebration in the past. Since I knew the repair worker, I felt much more at ease when he delivered the poor news. | <urn:uuid:8082bf88-5a1c-4c4e-af94-d0bca3fc1c06> | CC-MAIN-2023-23 | http://travelingmind2anywhere.com/i-did-not-want-to-hear-the-poor-news/ | 2023-05-28T06:21:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-23/segments/1685224643585.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20230528051321-20230528081321-00755.warc.gz | en | 0.986176 | 378 |
I love the smell of cooked apples.
I feel very Suzy Homemaker when I can time that scent to when the family walks in the door. Here is a recent dessert timed just right for when the school bus did a drop off and left me with two hungry boys.
Healthy Slow Cooker Apple and Pear Crisp
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup coconut palm sugar (or more brown sugar)
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup white whole wheat flour
- 4 tablespoons coconut oil (slightly soft. If yours is solid, microwave for a few seconds)
- 3-4 cups sliced apples and pears (I left the peels on because mine were organic. Hopefully I convinced you to go organic after this post.)
- 3/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- Stir the first 4 ingredients together in a medium-sized bowl.
- Add coconut oil and use a fork to scramble it up a bit and make soft crumbs.
- Combine the apples and pears in a large bowl. Stir in half the crumbs, mixing to coat all the apples.
- Pour into your pre-sprayed bowl of the slow cooker.
- Whisk water, sugar and cinnamon together. Pour over apple/pear mixture.
- Top with remaining crumb mixture.
- Place a paper towel over the bowl before putting lid on slow cooker. This will keep it “crisp”.
- Cook on low for 2 hours.
A few pictures to help your process…

Larry David has a chest-length beard in the teaser for his upcoming HBO movie
On Sunday, HBO dropped the teaser for “Clear History,” a black comedy about an ad exec (a shaggy-looking Larry David) who, according to director Greg Mottola, “ruins his life” by selling his company stocks right before it makes billions of dollars. Mottola (“Superbad”) told Entertainment Weekly that David’s script (co-penned with “Seinfeld” scribes Alec Berg, David Mandel and Jeff Schaffer) was loosely based on one unfortunate employee mentioned in Walter Isaacson’s 2011 “Steve Jobs” biography.
“Clear History” premieres in August and co-stars Jon Hamm, Eva Longoria, Kate Hudson, Bill Hader, Michael Keaton and J.B. “Get in that ass, Larry” Smoove.

Two Wounded In Tulsa Shooting, Police Say
TULSA, Oklahoma - Police say two men are recovering in the hospital after a shooting Sunday evening at a Tulsa apartment complex.
Officers say when they got to the complex in the 1800 block of North Rockford they found shell casings on the ground from multiple caliber weapons and damage from bullets on apartment walls and at least two cars in the parking lot.
Police say they were called to the apartments just after 9:35 p.m. Sunday.
They arrived to find one man shot in the torso. EMSA paramedics took him straight to the hospital. A second man had also been hit, but police say they don't think he was an intended target. Officers think, a stray bullet hit that man.

Visitors wanting to stay by the bedside of a loved one at Atherton Hospital, won’t have to worry about their sleeping arrangements after the Yungaburra Freemasons gifted a new overnight recliner lounge.
Barrine Masonic Lodge along with Hand Heart Pocket the Charity of Freemasons Queensland donated $3,200 towards the lounge, which by day is a normal two-seater recliner, that can be converted into a double bed at night.
What’s also unique about the lounge is that each side operates independently of each other, with a total of nine different positions to provide optimal comfort.
Barrine Lodge representative Bob Jessop said the donation would allow visitors to focus on their loved one and spend quality time with them.
“It’s one less thing for them to worry about – especially for someone keeping a bedside vigil,” Bob said.
“The lounge fits perfectly in the rooms and can be wheeled around depending on where it is needed at the time,” he said.
“We’re pleased to be able to make a difference in this way, to help create a comfortable environment where families can remain close to their loved ones while they are in hospital,” he said.
Atherton Hospital serves a large remote area of the Tablelands, accessible to around 45,000 residents.
Hand Heart Pocket Chief Executive Officer Gary Mark said alleviating suffering and empowering people to lead better lives was what they championed.
“Improving the quality of life of patients at Atherton Hospital, by allowing them to have their loved ones nearby in a comfortable manner aligns with our purpose which is to provide sustainable support that delivers positive outcomes,” Gary said.
“It’s been our pleasure to have matched the efforts of Barrine Masonic Lodge in support of with this worthy local initiative,” he said.

Can police use tip to stop a motorist? It depends

Q:I was arrested on driving-under-the-influence charges twice over 15 years ago. Last month I was driving home after a night out with friends at a local pub when I was pulled over again. The policeman told me they received a report from a private citizen that I was driving erratically, when in fact I wasn't. Can the police arrest me again for another DUI, even though they didn't witness me driving badly?
A:Without additional information, it is not possible to answer your question accurately. The following will explore a few variations in an attempt to respond to the question.
In general, if a tip is provided to the police, independent police corroboration is usually needed to create a reasonable suspicion whereby the police can then make an investigatory stop. Police observation is typically needed to corroborate specific, non-obvious facts showing the tipster is familiar with the suspect or the circumstances.
Take the example where a tipster tells the police that you were traveling on the wrong side of the highway, provided your license plate and gave additional information as to the direction your vehicle was heading. The police would probably not be able to stop you without independent observation.
However, if the tipster tells the police he saw you leave a pub, stumble across the parking lot, provided the license plate number, and told the police you threw several empty beer cans from your vehicle, it might be more likely the police can stop you even without corroborating evidence. The basis for the stop could be predicated on the specific information from the tipster regarding alcohol, for the concerns of safety, and due to sufficient information that led the police to conclude an emergency existed.... | <urn:uuid:4cb2a213-e1ac-4615-a5c6-479708120881> | CC-MAIN-2015-11 | http://www.masslive.com/metroeastplus/republican/index.ssf?/base/news-5/1294128984190980.xml&coll=1 | 2015-03-05T19:03:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-11/segments/1424936464809.62/warc/CC-MAIN-20150226074104-00109-ip-10-28-5-156.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.95564 | 437 |
Sept. 19 (UPI) -- Kelly Clarkson confirmed on The Tonight Show that she will be hosting her own daytime talk show on NBC.
"I didn't think I'd ever do it," Clarkson, who is also a judge on NBC's The Voice said about the program which will be positioned to air before Ellen.
"I love talking. It's like my favorite pastime," the singer continued. Clarkson also announced that her show will feature her live band whom she tours with and will have a focus on singing and music. A pilot for the talk show has been filmed with no premiere date announced.
"If you don't like music, you probably shouldn't watch." she joked.
Clarkson's appearance on The Tonight Show also featured the American Idol alum creating a doo-wop song on an iPad alongside host Jimmy Fallon and fellow guest Queen Latifah. The segment featured Fallon mixing together singing samples from the trio in order to create a song.
Clarkson made headlines recently when she announced a 2019 North American tour that is set to kick off on Jan. 24 at the Oracle Arena in Oakland before wrapping up on March 30 at the Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, S.C. | <urn:uuid:7469c7cb-6b29-47a4-8924-1e45b21cc463> | CC-MAIN-2019-43 | https://www.upi.com/Entertainment_News/TV/2018/09/19/Kelly-Clarkson-announces-daytime-talk-show-on-Tonight-Show/4261537358326/?st_rec=6751537361145 | 2019-10-21T08:05:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-43/segments/1570987763641.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20191021070341-20191021093841-00108.warc.gz | en | 0.97763 | 251 |

Is it still 9.1 material? I think it should be considered UI
improvements on what we already have (contribs and extensions), and

Associate Chair of Medicine for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
- Dedicated bystander training of all medicine residents and core general medicine faculty
- Implicit bias training of all Medicine Faculty and a DEI book club for core faculty (readings and discussion included, among others, How to Be an Antiracist, The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness, and White Fragility)
- Residency leadership involvement in formal inclusiveness leadership training, medical center Cultural Competency Committee, and Hospital Medicine Division IDEA (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Advocacy) Committee
- Beyond the Medicine Residency, the University of Rochester Medical Center leadership has enacted a broader Anti-Racism Action Plan (see below)
- Educational conferences dedicated to critical DEI topics (e.g., the history of redlining in Rochester) delivered at resident educational conferences and Department of Medicine Grand Rounds
- We have an ongoing content strand in our residents' Ambulatory Education sessions that addresses the social determinants of health, health disparities, and health equity
- Health disparities improvement efforts are woven into our QI curriculum, with the expectation that QI projects will drill down to assess outcomes across different at-risk populations
- Multiple community outreach opportunities are available for residents
- The Medicine Residency is committed to recruiting a more diverse workforce to help us achieve our missions
- Holistic reviews of application and standardized interviewing have been in place for years
- 27% of our 2021-22 intern class self-identify in an URiM group
- Aggressive efforts have been underway to diversify our physician and nursing workforces within the Department of Medicine and the Medical Center as a whole
- The Medicine Residency and the Department of Medicine are committed to being a safe space and creating a safe and inclusive environment for all residents all of the time
- The Association of Minority Residents and Fellows (AMRF) at the University of Rochester Medical Center is a wonderful resource and community for under-represented residents.

OVERVIEW OF DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
Minimum number of credits required to earn minor: 18
GPA requirements to earn minor: None.
Minimum Grade requirements for courses to count toward minor: A minimum grade of “C-” must be obtained in each course used to satisfy the minor requirements.
Contact Information: Mark D. Brewer, Professor and Interim Chair, 113A North Stevens Hall, (207) 581-1871, firstname.lastname@example.org
In antiquity, Socrates held that the laws were his “true parent.” For then as now, laws help to constitute and regulate family, school, church, commercial, and governmental institutions. They therefore affect the lives of everyone throughout, although conversely human beings make the law. Legal foundations, developments, and effects are consequently of intrinsic interest and concern to many disciplines and their students. The Legal Studies curriculum is accordingly designed not so much for the pre-law student, as for any student whose liberal education seeks to understand the formative bases of human civilization and culture.
The campus advisor for the Legal Studies Minor is Professor Mark Brewer of the Political Science Department (113A N. Stevens Hall). Questions about the Legal Studies Minor should be directed to him at (207) 581-1871 or email@example.com
For information about general pre-law studies and/or advice for students interested in attending law school, contact Pre-Law advisor Crisanne Blackie (308 Memorial Union) at (207) 581-2587 or firstname.lastname@example.org
A Minor in Legal Studies Minor shall consist of 18 credit hours in courses that focus primarily on legal matters. A minimum grade of “C-” must be obtained in each course used to satisfy the minor requirements. A list of courses that count toward the minor appears below. Departments occasionally offer other courses on legal topics that may count as well. Students should contact the campus advisor for the Legal Studies Minor (Professor Mark Brewer) in order to determine if a particular course not listed below would count toward the minor. | <urn:uuid:ab93a50d-dde3-4fa5-91d1-22892704e9c5> | CC-MAIN-2018-30 | http://catalog.umaine.edu/preview_program.php?catoid=67&poid=8797&returnto=2162 | 2018-07-18T22:17:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-30/segments/1531676590329.62/warc/CC-MAIN-20180718213135-20180718233135-00057.warc.gz | en | 0.93273 | 445 |

Media Under Siege
Despite progress in the EU integration process and 17 years of democratic transition, the Serbian state still fails to safeguard media freedoms, which is one of the key preconditions for the consolidation of the country’s democracy.
Several media watchdog groups have noted a serious deterioration of media freedom in Serbia over the past few years. For example, the Reporters Without Borders 2017 Press Freedom Index ranked Serbia 66th among 180 countries, which is a drop of 7 places in comparison to 2016.
Similar to this, the IREX 2017 Media Sustainability Index noted that “the media sector still suffers from the miserable application of laws”, while “regulatory agencies and the Ministry for Culture and Information are incapable of ensuring the fair application of media laws and maintaining a competitive media market”.
Both Indices additionally note that independent journalists and media outlets still face constant pressure from government representatives or are targeted by pro-government outlets. This resulted in a deterioration in the quality of reporting, especially of informative programs. Serious talk shows have been cancelled, critical voices regarding government performance can hardly be heard in traditional media, while journalists not willing to mute their critical reporting are sacked from work. For example, dozens of journalists, editors and directors of the Vojvodina provincial public broadcasting service RTV lost their jobs after the Serbian Progressive Party won power in Vojvodina. In response, the ‘Support RTV’ movement brought several thousand people onto the streets of Novi Sad. Nevertheless, RTV editorial policy shifted, adopting a visibly pro-government line.
The watchdog role of most media has been suppressed, making them more propagandists of the ruling party rather than an objective and impartial service for citizens. Research carried out by Cenzolovka back in 2014 shows that Aleksandar Vucic, now President and then head of the government and ruling party, was on the cover pages of 10 dailies a total of 877 times, of which only 6 times in a negative context. A similar trend was visible in election reporting during the presidential elections in 2017, when Vucic (both PM and presidential candidate at the time) alone had ten times more airtime on national broadcasters then all other candidates combined.
With traditional media under strict control, online media are flourishing, seemingly being less vulnerable to censorship and open to various voices and citizen engagement. More than 500 online outlets are registered within the Media Register run by the Serbian Business Registers Agency. However, online investigative centers (such as BIRN, CINS and KRIK) and online platforms critical of the government (such as Pescanik) are subject to various online attacks and smear campaigns run by “bots” affiliated to the ruling party. The European Commission’s 2016 Progress Report states that “online, freedom of expression is also exposed to threats, especially in view of increased pressure and attacks against online journalists and bloggers. There has been no substantial progress in investigations into hacking attacks against websites which occurred in 2014”.
Apart from the overall environment which is not conducive to the development of free and independent media, the entire media sector faces increasingly difficult economic conditions. A small and impoverished media advertising market, worth approximately 160 million euros annually, is not capable of sustaining more than 1600 media outlets, the number currently registered within the Media Register.
Fierce competition for shrinking advertising pushes media more and more towards government funding, making them an easy target for various forms of pressure and even censorship. Nontransparent, uncontrolled and partisan allocation of public money is used as an effective means to favor or punish media as well as to obstruct fair market operations.
These include: subsidies to select media outlets, selective government advertising, public enterprises contracting directly with media outlets without competition or monitoring, regulatory manipulation regarding licensing and lack of ownership transparency, and preferential treatment of tax obligations, loan repayments and debts of media close to government.
There is no complete and publicly available data regarding state funding of media and state advertising budgets. The lack of transparency and record keeping remains a severe challenge in assessing the full extent and impact of this type of ‘soft’ censorship in Serbia.
As the BIRN, WAN-IFRA 2015 Soft Censorship report stated “state spending in Serbia’s media sector requires fundamental and urgent reform to ensure that taxpayers’ money is no longer used to impose soft censorship—and instead to offer public information through free, independent and pluralistic media that facilitates informed democratic participation. Without this, Serbian media faces further stagnation and decay, and Serbia’s democracy an uncertain future”.

British Columbia’s justice system is at as critical juncture on the path to developing an effective system response to violence against women. With the exception of a small pilot program in Duncan, British Columbia is one of the few jurisdictions in Canada without specialized courts mandated to hear cases involving violence against women in relationships. Vulnerable women in BC have been disproportionately impacted by cuts to legal aid, and BC has been without a Minister for Women’s Equality since that position was eliminated ten years ago.
However, in 2012 the Provincial Government took some actions that offer important entry points into a renewed discussion about meaningful access to justice for women who have experienced violence. The Premier created a new Provincial Domestic Violence office and the Minister of Justice and Attorney General initiated a large-scale review of the justice system. While the focus of these moves has not been adding resources to our beleaguered legal system or addressing poverty among women and children, there is a now a lot of talk about reforming BC’s justice system to better handle the large number of cases involving violence against women in relationships.
This report began in 2009 with an informal conversation among anti-violence workers about whether specialized courts could better meet the needs of the women we work with. At that time, it was neither envisioned as submission to the Provincial Domestic Violence Officer nor as a response to the Justice Reform Initiative, however it now offers a timely critique of the current justice system response to violence against women. It also offers an extensive look at programs from other jurisdictions and raises key questions that must be considered if BC is to move toward specialized courts for cases involving violence against women. Finally, this report offers recommendations for achievable reforms and effective program development, grounded in the perspectives of women who have been though the justice system as survivors of violence and the agencies that work with women every day. | <urn:uuid:234d706a-bc2a-473b-a40b-4cd363c9347b> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.pivotlegal.org/imagining_courts_that_work_for_women_survivors_of_violence | 2020-07-03T15:56:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655882634.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20200703153451-20200703183451-00188.warc.gz | en | 0.973735 | 366 |

Those of you still using Internet Explorer need to realize that you are running one of the most dangerous applications on the Internet today! Do you realize that IE7 which was announced to be available summer of 2005 is still no where to be seen. Do you know that people are actually trying to compare Firefox version 1.5 with IE7?
Internet Explorer version 7 may not be vapor ware but it is as close to that definition as any application that is being hyped and talked about today. Microsoft blew it plain and simple and for a long time had a strategy of we don’t care about your browser and your security.
How many of you have parents or relatives that have spyware, malware and computers that are running at the speed of snail because they have been using a browser that is about as secure as a open jail cell with no keepers. Don’t get me wrong Firefox is not 100% immune but you will be about a magnitude of a 1000 more safe running Firefox than you will running the Internet Explorer version 6.0
I cannot tell you the number of times I have walked up to a PC and seen IE running on it and said oh man your running IE why in the world are you running that. If your still running IE version 6 and have not switched to Firefox all I can say is you have been warned.

“Ritual, Andromeda trapped in
her nappy edges, galaxies
between immovable thighs.” -I. Sims
I’ve been elated and challenged and witness to a group of performers interacting with the idea of Afrofuturism.
Recently I had the distinct pleasure of producing a show at Gay City Health Project in Seattle. The show is called 2155: An exploration of Afrofuturism in Performance Art.
It has brought some of the fiercest brown performers in Seattle to one stage:
They built work around race, gender, sexuality, other-ness, and fierceness. As the show winds down I am filled with so much gratitude and humility. These folks trusted me enough to create a space for their work. That is the greatest honor any producer can have- holding space for greatness.
If you are in Seattle this weekend, come see the show! | <urn:uuid:bb8f7716-1603-4857-bb0c-5b45e0a564d9> | CC-MAIN-2020-05 | https://irsims.wordpress.com/2016/02/19/2155/ | 2020-01-17T20:04:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-05/segments/1579250590107.3/warc/CC-MAIN-20200117180950-20200117204950-00374.warc.gz | en | 0.947693 | 191 |

Cases of coat colour anomalies in the common shrew, Sorex araneus L
Languages of publication
Coat colour anomalies in the common shrew, Sorex araneus L., in the geographical range of this species, including Poland, are extremely rare. This study describes atypically coloured common shrews. Light colouration of the coat is a result of lack of pigment in the entire hair or hair fragments. It appears that atypically coloured shrews occur more often in isolated populations whose gene transfer with neighboring populations is limited.

The legal framework surrounding the collection of royalties is a complex and multifaceted system that plays a crucial role in ensuring artists receive fair compensation for their creative works. This article aims to provide a comprehensive guide to the royalty collection process, examining the key components of the legal framework and its implications for artists and collecting societies. By exploring various aspects such as copyright laws, licensing agreements, and distribution mechanisms, this article will shed light on how these elements work together to facilitate the proper allocation of royalties.
To illustrate the significance of understanding the legal framework and the role of collecting societies in the royalty collection process, let us consider a hypothetical case study. Imagine an aspiring musician who has recently released their debut album independently. As their popularity grows, they start receiving requests from radio stations, streaming platforms, and other media outlets interested in playing their music. Without proper knowledge or guidance regarding copyright laws and licensing procedures, this artist may face difficulties in navigating through various contracts and negotiations with different entities seeking to use their music. Collecting societies can serve as vital intermediaries in this scenario by simplifying the process for both parties involved – ensuring that appropriate fees are paid and subsequently distributed to the rightful creators.
By delving into specific aspects of the legal framework governing royalty collections, this article aims to equip artists with the necessary knowledge and tools to protect their creative works and maximize their earnings. One important aspect to consider is copyright laws, which grant creators exclusive rights over their creations, including the right to collect royalties. Understanding the duration of copyright protection and how it applies to different types of works is crucial in ensuring that artists can enforce their rights.
Furthermore, licensing agreements play a pivotal role in royalty collection. These agreements outline the terms and conditions under which others can use an artist’s work, whether through public performances, broadcasting, or digital distribution. Artists need to familiarize themselves with the various types of licenses available (e.g., mechanical licenses for reproducing music recordings) and negotiate fair compensation for the use of their work.
Distribution mechanisms are another essential component of the legal framework surrounding royalty collections. Collecting societies act as intermediaries between artists and users of copyrighted material by collecting fees on behalf of creators and distributing them accordingly. These organizations track usage data, ensure proper licensing compliance, and distribute royalties based on factors such as airplay or streaming numbers.
In addition to exploring these elements, this article will address common challenges artists may encounter in the royalty collection process. For instance, understanding how international copyright laws interact and navigating cross-border royalty collections can be complex but essential for maximizing earnings globally. The potential impact of new technologies such as blockchain on streamlining royalty payments will also be examined.
Ultimately, by comprehensively examining the legal framework surrounding royalty collections, this article seeks to empower artists with the knowledge necessary to navigate this multifaceted system effectively. By understanding their rights and utilizing collecting societies as valuable resources, artists can ensure they receive fair compensation for their creative endeavors while focusing on what they do best – making great art.
Understanding the Legal Framework
To comprehend the complexities of royalty collection within the music industry, it is essential to have a firm grasp on the legal framework that governs this process. This section aims to provide an overview of the key aspects involved and shed light on their significance.
Consider a scenario where a popular artist releases a new album that quickly becomes a chart-topping hit worldwide. The album receives extensive airplay, is streamed across various digital platforms, and even used in television commercials. As the artist’s popularity soars, questions arise regarding how they are compensated for their creative work. This case study serves as an example to illustrate the importance of understanding the legal framework surrounding royalty collection.
Within this complex landscape, several factors contribute to successful royalty collection:
Copyright law: At its core, copyright law grants creators exclusive rights over their works and ensures fair compensation for their efforts. These rights encompass reproduction, distribution, public performance, and adaptation of artistic works such as songs or compositions. By securing copyright protection through registration with relevant authorities, artists can safeguard their intellectual property and enforce their entitlement to royalties.
Licensing agreements: To facilitate widespread use of copyrighted material while ensuring appropriate compensation for creators, licensing agreements play a crucial role. These agreements establish terms and conditions under which third parties may utilize copyrighted content in exchange for payment or other considerations. For instance, when a song is played on radio stations or featured in advertisements or films, licensing agreements ensure that artists receive due royalties based on predetermined rates.
Royalty collection societies: In many jurisdictions, collecting societies act as intermediaries between artists and users of copyrighted content (such as broadcasters or streaming platforms). These organizations streamline the royalty collection process by pooling resources from multiple stakeholders and effectively managing administrative tasks like monitoring usage data and distributing payments fairly among members.
Dispute resolution mechanisms: Inevitably, disagreements may arise concerning copyright ownership or royalty allocation. Effective dispute resolution mechanisms, such as arbitration or mediation, provide a means to resolve conflicts outside of the courtroom. These alternative methods help maintain relationships within the music industry and ensure that disputes are resolved efficiently and impartially.
Understanding these key elements of the legal framework is crucial for both artists and users of copyrighted material. By adhering to copyright law, entering into appropriate licensing agreements, collaborating with collecting societies, and utilizing dispute resolution mechanisms when necessary, all stakeholders can contribute to a fair and sustainable royalty collection process.
With an understanding of the legal landscape surrounding royalty collection in place, we now turn our attention to the role played by collecting societies in facilitating this intricate process.
The Role of Collecting Societies
Understanding the Legal Framework: A Key Step in Royalty Collection
To fully comprehend the intricate process of royalty collection, it is crucial to have a comprehensive understanding of the legal framework that governs this system. By delving into the legal aspects surrounding collecting societies and their role in managing royalties, we can gain valuable insights into how artists and creators are protected and compensated for their work.
Consider the case of an independent musician who releases a popular song that gains considerable traction on various streaming platforms. As the song becomes more widely recognized, it garners significant attention from listeners worldwide and generates substantial revenue through streams and downloads. In such a scenario, it becomes imperative for the musician to navigate through the legal intricacies involved in ensuring fair compensation for their creative efforts.
When exploring the legal framework related to royalty collection, several key points come to light:
- The establishment of collecting societies: These organizations act as intermediaries between rights holders (such as musicians, composers, authors) and users (such as broadcasters or digital service providers). They play a vital role in licensing music usage on behalf of rights holders and subsequently distributing collected royalties.
- Licensing agreements: Collecting societies enter into licensing agreements with various entities that use copyrighted material. These agreements outline the terms under which music can be used while also determining the corresponding royalties owed to rights holders.
- Mechanisms for tracking usage: To ensure accurate distribution of royalties, collecting societies employ sophisticated systems to track each instance where copyrighted material is utilized. This enables them to accurately calculate and allocate payments based on actual usage.
- Distribution models: Once revenues are collected by collecting societies, they distribute these funds back to rights holders according to established distribution models. These models take into account factors like popularity of works, frequency of usage, and market demand among others.
By familiarizing ourselves with these fundamental aspects of royalty collection within the legal framework, we acquire invaluable knowledge about protecting artistic creations while maximizing financial returns for creators. In the subsequent section, we will delve further into the concept of copyright and its significance in royalty collection.
|Establishing fair compensation for creators|
|Protecting intellectual property rights|
|Ensuring accurate tracking and distribution of royalties|
|Maximizing financial returns for artists|
As we explore the intersection of copyright and royalty collection, it becomes evident that understanding the legal framework is crucial in safeguarding artistic creations and ensuring equitable compensation.
Copyright and Royalty Collection
To further understand their significance, let us consider a hypothetical example involving an independent musician named Sarah.
Sarah has recently composed and recorded her first album, which she plans to release independently. However, she is unsure how to navigate the complex world of copyright and royalty collection. This is where collecting societies step in to assist artists like Sarah with their expertise and resources.
Collecting societies offer several key services that benefit creators like Sarah:
- Licensing: Collecting societies help artists by granting licenses for the use of their copyrighted works. This ensures that anyone wishing to utilize Sarah’s music – be it for commercial purposes or public performance – obtains proper authorization while ensuring fair compensation.
- Royalty Collection: One of the primary responsibilities of collecting societies is to collect royalties on behalf of their members. They actively monitor various platforms, such as radio stations, streaming services, and live venues, to ensure that appropriate payments are made when Sarah’s music is used.
- Distribution: Once collected, these royalties are then distributed among society members based on agreed-upon distribution models. Through efficient data management systems, collecting societies accurately track usage statistics and allocate funds accordingly.
- Advocacy: Additionally, collecting societies act as advocates for creators’ rights within legislative frameworks. They engage in lobbying efforts and work towards improving copyright laws and regulations to better protect artists’ interests.
To illustrate the impact of collecting societies more comprehensively, we can examine the following table:
|Benefits Provided by Collecting Societies||Emotional Response Evoked|
|Streamlined licensing processes||Confidence|
|Fair compensation for creative endeavors||Security|
|Protects artistic works from unauthorized use||Assurance|
|Collective strength through industry advocacy||Empowerment|
In summary, collecting societies serve as invaluable intermediaries between creators and users of copyrighted works. They offer a range of services, including licensing, royalty collection, distribution, and advocacy. By ensuring fair compensation for artists like Sarah, collecting societies contribute to the sustainability and growth of the creative industry.
Transitioning into the subsequent section about “Membership and Participation,” we will explore how individuals can become members of these collecting societies and actively participate in shaping their own rights and remuneration.
Membership and Participation
Membership and Participation
To further understand how individuals can participate in the royalty collection process, let’s consider a hypothetical case. Imagine John, an aspiring musician who has recently composed an original song that he plans to release on various platforms. As John seeks ways to protect his work and receive fair compensation for its usage, becoming a member of a collecting society is one avenue he could explore.
Becoming a member of a collecting society offers several benefits:
- Protection: By joining a collecting society, artists like John gain legal protection for their creative works against unauthorized use or infringement.
- Licensing Assistance: Collecting societies provide assistance with licensing negotiations, ensuring that artists obtain fair compensation when their works are used commercially.
- Efficiency: Rather than attempting to collect royalties individually from each user of their work, members delegate this responsibility to the collective management system facilitated by the collecting society.
- Global Reach: Many collecting societies have international affiliations, enabling them to effectively manage copyright issues globally.
|Protection||Legal safeguard against unauthorized use or infringement|
|Licensing||Assistance with obtaining fair compensation through licensing agreements|
|Efficiency||Streamlined collection process through delegation|
|Global Reach||Ability to address copyright issues on an international scale|
By leveraging these advantages, musicians like John can focus more on their artistic endeavors while entrusting the collecting society with managing the complex task of royalty collection.
In summary, membership in a collecting society provides creators with essential support in protecting their intellectual property rights as well as facilitating efficient royalty collection. In our next section about “Distribution of Royalties,” we will delve into how collected royalties are distributed among the members of these societies, shedding light on how artists can benefit from their participation.
Now let’s explore the process of distributing royalties within a collecting society and understand how members reap the rewards of their creative efforts.
Distribution of Royalties
Section H2: Distribution of Royalties
Transitioning from the previous section on membership and participation, let us now delve into the crucial aspect of royalty distribution within a collecting society. To illustrate this process, we will consider an example where a popular song has been played extensively on various music streaming platforms.
Firstly, it is important to understand that once a collecting society receives royalties from licensees (such as music streaming services), they must distribute these funds fairly among their members. The distribution process involves several key steps:
Identification of Works: The collecting society must accurately identify which works were used in order to allocate the appropriate royalties to each member. This requires meticulous tracking and documentation of songs played or broadcasted across different mediums.
Allocation of Royalties: Once the works have been identified, the next step is determining how much each work should receive based on its usage. For example, if our hypothetical song was streamed 10 million times during a specific period, it would be allocated a share of the total royalties proportionate to its popularity compared to other works.
Membership Shares: Individual members’ shares are calculated based on factors such as their level of contribution to the repertoire and their overall standing within the organization. These shares may change over time depending on new creations or resignations from existing members.
To evoke an emotional response from readers, here is an illustrative bullet-point list highlighting some potential challenges faced during royalty distribution:
- Ensuring accuracy and transparency in identifying all works performed.
- Balancing fairness between well-known artists and emerging talents.
- Addressing discrepancies caused by variations in licensing deals with different platforms.
- Resolving disputes arising from conflicting claims or interpretations related to ownership rights.
Furthermore, visualizing the complexity involved in royalty distribution can help provide clarity. Consider this simplified table showing how royalties might be divided amongst three hypothetical songs played through various channels:
|Song Title||Streaming Platform||Radio Airplay||TV Broadcast|
In summary, the distribution of royalties within a collecting society is an intricate process involving identification, allocation, and membership shares. Challenges such as accuracy in identifying works and maintaining fairness among artists can arise but must be addressed to ensure equitable distribution. Next, we will explore the challenges faced by collecting societies and examine future perspectives for this evolving sector.
Transitioning into the subsequent section about “Challenges and Future Perspectives,” it is essential to consider the obstacles that collecting societies encounter in their pursuit of effective royalty collection and distribution processes.
Challenges and Future Perspectives
Continuing from the previous section on the distribution of royalties, it is important to acknowledge that while the royalty collection process is essential for ensuring artists receive compensation for their work, it is not without its challenges. In this section, we will explore some of these challenges and consider potential future perspectives in addressing them.
One significant challenge faced by collecting societies is the complexity of tracking and distributing royalties accurately. With a vast amount of music being produced and consumed across various platforms today, there is a need for improved systems and technologies to effectively monitor usage data and ensure fair compensation. For instance, let us consider a hypothetical scenario where an independent artist’s song gains unexpected popularity through viral streaming on social media platforms. Without robust mechanisms in place to track such instances, the artist may miss out on receiving proper remuneration for their work.
- Limited transparency in royalty calculations can lead to mistrust between artists and collecting societies.
- Discrepancies in international copyright laws can complicate cross-border royalty collection efforts.
- The rise of digital piracy poses a continuous threat to revenue streams for artists.
- Emerging technologies like blockchain offer both opportunities and complexities in managing royalty payments.
Table: Examples of Challenges Faced by Collecting Societies:
|Lack of standardization||Inaccurate allocation of royalties||Adoption of standardized metadata protocols|
|Insufficient data sharing||Difficulty in tracking usage patterns||Collaboration with streaming services|
|Legal barriers||Hindrance to cross-border collections||Advocacy for harmonized copyright legislation|
|Technological advancements||Potential disruptions as well as innovations||Exploration of blockchain-based solutions|
Looking ahead, it is crucial to consider future perspectives that may shape the royalty collection process. One potential avenue is the continued development and implementation of technology-driven solutions. By harnessing emerging technologies, collecting societies can improve data accuracy, enhance transparency, and streamline the distribution process. Moreover, collaboration between different stakeholders within the music industry will be instrumental in creating standardized practices that benefit all parties involved.
In conclusion to this section on challenges and future perspectives, it is evident that while there are obstacles to overcome in the royalty collection process, there is also room for growth and innovation. By addressing these challenges head-on and embracing technological advancements, collecting societies can ensure a more equitable distribution of royalties for artists worldwide. | <urn:uuid:f7abadfb-f3d8-4139-b9cb-68f631fe7b2e> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | http://silverspringvoice.com.s3-website.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/legal-framework/ | 2023-12-11T11:45:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679511159.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20231211112008-20231211142008-00681.warc.gz | en | 0.928553 | 3,488 |

Local award-winning jeweller Carrie K shares some insights
Jewellery crafting isn't exactly the most difficult thing in the world – a lot of people do it as a hobby – but turning this from a pastime into a thriving business is a different matter altogether. Yet as the jewellery industry is as vast as it is multifaceted and with numerous tiers and sub-tiers, the barriers to entry aren't that many.
The luxury watch business has always offered bespoke services, albeit to a reserved clientele. At the most extravagant end of the spectrum, members of royal families all over the world were in the habit of commissioning special pieces decorated with anything from an engraving of the family coat of arms, a special message, or a miniature painting of someone’s portrait. Patek Philippe’s long history is rich with royal commissions.
Moving on to the sparkling coastlines of the French Riviera, Chanel’s Flying Cloud collection draws inspiration from Gabrielle Chanel’s maritime trysts on board the luxury yacht which belonged to Hugh Grosvenor, who was the second Duke of Westminster. Everything in the nautical world has been transformed into precious works of art.
Muck Rack makes it simple to find people, tweets, or articles that mention any name, keyword, company, hashtag etc. We've compiled this guide to help you make the most of your search.
Selecting a term
Start searching tweets, articles from media outlets, articles mentioned in tweets, journalists'
names, titles and bios with some suggested searches:
Companies or Topics (e.g. iPhone, Microsoft)
Phrases (e.g. "cloud computing") — use quotes to keep the terms together
Twitter handles (e.g. @username) — returns those who have mentioned or replied to
Names (e.g. "David Pogue")
Hashtags (e.g. #sxsw, #london2012)
Bio details (e.g. vegan, Olympics, father)
Muck Rack's Advanced Search allows for many boolean operators.
Find results that mention multiple specified terms, use AND or
+. For example, ensure each result contains both Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg by
searching Musk AND Zuckerberg or Musk + Zuckerberg.
Use the operators OR or , to broaden your search when you'd like either of
multiple terms to appear in results. (This is the default behavior of our search when no operators
are used). For example, results will contain either cake or cookie by searching cake OR cookie or cake,cookie
Use NOT or - to subtract results from your search. For
example, searching Disney will yield results about the Walt Disney Company as well as Walt Disney
World Resort. To exclude mentions of Disney World, search for Disney -World or Disney
When using one of these operators with a phrase, enclose it in quotation marks. For example, you can
find results about smartphones excluding Apple's iPhone 4S by searching smartphone -"iPhone
Exact case matching or punctuation
If you're searching for a brand name or keyword that relies on specific punctuation marks or capitalization, you can
find results that match your exact query by adding matchcase: before the keyword you're searching for, like matchcase:E*TRADE .
Use parentheses to separate multiple
boolean phrases. For example, to find journalists talking about having fun in Disney World or
Disneyland, search for ("disney world" OR disneyland) AND fun.
An asterisk can be used to search for any variation of a root word truncated by the asterisk. For example, searching for admin* will return results for administrator, administration, administer, administered, etc.
A near operator is an AND operator where you can control the distance between the words. You can vary the distance the near operation uses by adding a forward slash and number (between 0-99) such as strawberries NEAR/10 "whipped cream", which means the strawberries must exist within 10 words of "whipped cream". | <urn:uuid:d7197052-9654-4bc1-9f0a-b045bd4c04be> | CC-MAIN-2018-13 | https://muckrack.com/celine-yap | 2018-03-18T16:32:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-13/segments/1521257645824.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20180318145821-20180318165821-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.869771 | 840 |
Those shopping for cars are less likely to see lenders put the brakes on their plans. Car loans are easier to get than they were a year or two ago, national analysts and local dealers said. Banks are relaxing standards a bit more than they were a year ago. Those with bad credit are still likely to find it tough to get financing. But buyers with steady incomes and solid credit shouldn’t have trouble getting loans, dealers and experts said.THE THAW BEGINS
“We’re seeing an easing of credit, and it’s definitely helping our business,” said John Hickey, the president of Sutliff Chevrolet.
A year ago, even buyers with solid credit faced challenges getting approved for loans. Some couldn’t get financing.
WHAT TO EXPECT
The loan approval rate for customers with the highest credit scores was 90 percent in June, compared with 70 percent in late 2008, The Associated Press reported. For the majority of customers with “middle-tier credit” — scores of 620 to 750 — loan approvals have risen to 82 percent from 70 percent in the last year, according to CNW Marketing Research of Brandon, Ore.
At the height of the recession, “650 became the bottom,” Hickey said. Lenders really wanted 700, and, as Hickey said, “that’s not a common credit score.”
Now, those with scores in the mid-600s shouldn’t have much of a problem.
Buyers with less-than-stellar credit can gain approval for financing if they have steady incomes or relatively low debt, said Homer Hetrick, the president of LB Smith Ford Lincoln Mercury in Lemoyne.
Borrowers with poor credit, however, still face the risk of rejection. Nationally, the approval rate for those with scores below 620 is 9 percent, which is up from last year, when it was 5 percent. Historically, the approval rate for such customers has been around 60 percent.
CHECK YOUR CREDIT
Federal law entitles consumers to a free credit report each year. There is only one authorized source for that free report under the law: www.annualcreditreport.com or 877-322-8228. .
You can check your credit every 12 months with each of the three nationwide credit reporting companies: Experian, Equifax and TransUnion. Your report can offer important information and allow you the chance to spot errors in your credit history.
An important note: While the report on your credit history is free, it does not include your credit score. If you want your credit score, you have to pay one of the agencies that did the report.
Interest rates are falling for car loans. The average rate for a four-year car loan this month is 6.3%, down from 7.2% a year ago, according to Bankrate.com.
Many carmakers are offering no interest for 60 months on at least some of their 2010 models. Plenty more are available at 0.9 percent to 2.9 percent financing.
The best interest rates will go to customers with strong credit histories, dealers stressed. “It’s all relative to the credit score, which is the way it should be and the way that it should have always been,” Hetrick said.
ON THE MARKET
Carmakers are offering more incentives to get people onto dealers’ lots, including cash rebates in some cases. With 2011 models arriving in showrooms soon, automakers want to move the 2010 models and are pricing aggressively.
“This is the time of year we’re trying to get the 2010 models out,” Hetrick said. | <urn:uuid:6ac17c08-ab92-4294-84b7-6035e512c56f> | CC-MAIN-2014-49 | http://www.pennlive.com/midstate/index.ssf/2010/07/car_loans_are_easier_to_get_no.html | 2014-11-22T10:46:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-49/segments/1416400377225.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20141119123257-00191-ip-10-235-23-156.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.963667 | 769 |

I have never wanted a tattoo until this very moment. These are just a few of the many gorgeous tattoos by São Paulo-based artist Gregorio Marangoni. His style is so detailed and I love the tone he achieves with what looks like stippling on skin. The work speaks for itself and I urge you to take a look through all the tattoos on his site, blog.gregoriomarangoni.com!

An exhibition of Ambit magazine covers at Hornsey in London
Our first cover was drawn by Andie Ferguson, an Australian artist who had come to the UK on a scholarship, writes Ambit founder and editor Martin Bax. He’d shown us a draft, which we’d all liked. But when I went round to get the artwork, eager to print the issue, he told me it had only been a rough idea and had since thrown it away.
Fortunately he was able to redraw it from memory and his design appeared on the opening two issues. For Ambit 3 he capitalised the lettering, which he then refined on Ambit 4. We have returned to the lettering used on that masthead frequently and used it on our double-sized 200th issue earlier this year.
Top: Cover, Ambit 19
Apart from the odd sketch of a writer, abstract images were used on Ambit’s early covers. That all changed with the arrival of Michael Foreman, who became our art editor in 1962 – a position he holds to this day. It was Foreman who began sourcing original artwork for the magazine’s covers, so that Ambit 13 had a drawing by Peter Blake on the front (above) and 14 one by David Hockney (below).
Above: Ambit 33, cover artwork by Eduardo Paolozzi. See ‘In the pink’ on the Eye blog.
The next major changes were to do with the size of the whole magazine. Ambit’s dimensions had been dictated by the size of the machine used by our first printer. Having left them, we were able experiment with the format. Ambit 24 was the first number at our present size, a space which has always allowed us to display full and varying images, which Michael Foreman has consistently explored.
For Ambit 32 we produced a one-off newspaper-size number. In those days, Michael and I would ‘arrange’ the pictures on the cover, shifting them into place until we had everything just right. On Ambit 65, Derek Birdsall stepped in to give us a complete redesign – and Ambit acquired a ‘designer’.
Above: Ambit 54, cover artwork by Ralph Steadman.
Below: Ambit 88, cover artwork by Michael Foreman.
The magazine became square-backed and Derek introduced the now familiar wrap-around cover. I then took whatever cover material had been selected by him, and he supervised its presentation. After some years he passed this job on to our present designer John Morgan (who had previously worked for Derek Birdsall at Omnific), who continues to keep Ambit looking fantastically timely but timeless after all these years.
This text is an edited extract from Martin Bax's introduction to the forthcoming exhibition at The Original Gallery.

Rapper T.I. In the Recording Studio Already?!
Word is that rapper T.I., who was released from federal prison on last week to report to a halfway house, is back already in the recording studio. T.I. was released from low-security federal prison in Forrest City, Arkansas on Tuesday, December 22 after serving time on federal gun charges. Now, the rapper may already be back to business — music business, that is.
According to a post on website Global Grind, music executive Kevin Liles may have possibly tweeted about the news of T.I. returning to the studio.
“My right hand went home to visit his family & found his way to the studio. He said “why wait for 2010, get it in now” Love the attitude!” Liles tweeted but later removed from his Twitter blog.
Whether or not he was twittering about T.I. is left up to speculation?
Though the hip hop proclaimed “King of the South” is completing the remainder of his sentence at Dismas Charities Atlanta West in Georgia, he is reportedly allowed to work at the offices of his Grand Hustle label during the day, as reported last week on HipHopRX.com. Another hint that he may be back to work – recording in the studio.
T.I. must also complete 500 hours of community service and serve 23 days of house arrest following his sentence at Dismas Charities Atlanta West in Georgia. | <urn:uuid:e993127c-da21-41a7-891b-94f148b59e80> | CC-MAIN-2014-10 | http://www.hiphoprx.com/2009/12/28/rapper-ti-in-the-recording-studio-already/ | 2014-03-10T06:25:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-10/segments/1394010672371/warc/CC-MAIN-20140305091112-00044-ip-10-183-142-35.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.979968 | 305 |
You Know You Want One, 2019. Original Photo by SnapDragon X. All rights reserved.
I’ve wanted a cuckoo clock since I was a small girl.
But it’s one of those things that slipped into the recesses of my mind over the years, kicked to the corner and replaced by a million other hobbies and interests.
Yet whenever I’d see a cuckoo clock–albeit those times were rare–my heart would rejoice at its charm.
I love the old-fashioned, hand-carved artistry. I love the reliable inner workings of its gears, and the sonorous sound as I wind it each morning and night. I love the reminder twice an hour that life is moving on, displayed with a chirp and chime.
The Husband surprised me with the beauty you see above. It hangs in our kitchen by the farmhouse sink. Henry sometimes bats at the chains. I marvel at this classic treasure every single day. It’s ours.
So Dear Reader, find your cuckoo clock. Fill your home with whatever makes you happy. It doesn’t need to match, it doesn’t need to be brand-name. But those little things? The antique mugs and photo frames? They make your nest a haven. | <urn:uuid:815b4047-5888-452b-af0b-48fa466fa42d> | CC-MAIN-2021-31 | https://snippetsofsnapdragon.com/2019/02/28/little-cuckoos/ | 2021-07-24T14:24:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-31/segments/1627046150266.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20210724125655-20210724155655-00378.warc.gz | en | 0.947153 | 273 |
Deer Themed Bathroom Accessories - The whole process of beautifying a property is not restricted to the important furnishings revolving around wall paint and furniture. Actually, it goes beyond to the least noticeable of all, for example fine details, that might not catch attention when seen individually but will certainly shine through when viewed as a set.
When designing a bathroom the same goes. Due to this, they frequently fail to give as much notice to the little things, including the soap dispenser, toothbrush holder, soap dish, and towel brush, all of which might be minor additions but matter just as much as the shower and sink, particularly when the goal is to reach not only a color-matched bathroom but additionally a stylish one at that.
In the of today's, there exists an array of choices in regards to bathroom accessories. Choosing the most appropriate ones might be somewhat a job as a result of variations and raising equipment provided by different makers. Nevertheless, the undertaking can be made simpler in case you understand how to begin. Read on to unearth several of the simplest but most useful tips on picking the right conclusion of bathroom accessories.
It'd be wise to do a little research as a way to achieve basic knowledge on the most popular bathroom accessory sets, before heading out to go shopping. Scour through magazines, see a couple TV shows, and browse over the internet to acquire more thoughts. These educational sources showcase taking time to examine these, and various styles gives you a clue regarding how you might need your own bathroom to seem like.
Deciding on which type of finish your bathroom should have is made a lot more easy with a subject in mind. The motif might be anything from asian, contemporary, timeless, naturist, and also on color preferences. For an asian-themed bathroom, get a wood bathroom accessory. Classic-style ceramic ones could be ideal for a timeless-themed bathroom while naturists would love a set of safari zebra design bathroom accessory set. For many who decide to abide by a shade-dominated bathroom, the options are endless as well.
On another note that is significant, always consider quality and durability regardless of the theme selected. So you get your money's worth as bathroom accessories are not among the cheapest of buys that is.
Reaching a decision might take some time, especially if you have just one bathroom to possess fun decorating at home. However, who says you can't get more than one bathroom accessory set? Provided that the budget permits, bathroom accessories are almost always ready for delivery or pick-up. | <urn:uuid:ffe5efcf-c210-442e-9009-8e64023ed33f> | CC-MAIN-2019-04 | http://almarkhiyaclub.com/7208/deer-themed-bathroom-accessories/ | 2019-01-17T01:43:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-04/segments/1547583658662.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20190117000104-20190117022104-00115.warc.gz | en | 0.959203 | 524 |
It’s no mystery that Google doesn’t have much respect for Microsoft’s latest products. With Windows Phone 7 they put as little effort as possible into the platform and developed one lonely app for Google Search. In Windows 8 they came out of the gate firing with a Metro version of Chrome and a Google Search app, but since then they have been quiet. A lot of users are looking for more native apps for things like YouTube, Gmail, and Drive.
If you’re looking for the lack of interest to change you are going to be disappointing for the time being. Google Apps product management director Clay Bavor was on record earlier today and said “we have no plans to build out Windows apps.” Bavor went on to share some harsh words, saying “we are very careful about where we invest and will go where the users are but they are not on Windows Phone or Windows 8.” Ouch. These words may seem harsh, but the bitter reality is they are true. Google makes money by selling ads, and if there aren’t enough users on a platform to generate ad revenue they don’t care about it. Simple as that.

Sony accidentally let slip that The Last of Us Remastered is A Thing that's coming to PS4.
A banner advertisement for a revamped PS4 version of Naughty Dog's survival-horror epic appeared on the US Sony Entertainment Network website (via NeoGAF), boasting a $59.99 price tag.
It's got a nice Day 1 Digital release badge as well, from which we can infer that there'll be a physical version of the game too.
Sony aren't commenting for the moment, though VG247 suggests reports point to a June release, but one wonders exactly what sort of treatment the game will receive to make it worth a full-price re-release. Obviously the DLC will be included, and we bet Naughty Dog will certainly give what was already a strikingly pretty game on the PS3 a graphical tune-up.
It'll only be a year on from the original's release if the reports are accurate, but we lapped up Lara's re-emergence in Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition, and I'm pretty sure that TLOU PS4 will sell like hot cakes. It's not like there's much else to buy on the platform right now. | <urn:uuid:0d1e41f8-fe84-4b2e-90cf-43dc9765f370> | CC-MAIN-2018-09 | http://www.dealspwn.com/ps4-remastered-emerges-accidentally-buy-170819 | 2018-02-18T20:12:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-09/segments/1518891812259.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20180218192636-20180218212636-00781.warc.gz | en | 0.964827 | 241 |
The beautiful Napa Valley, California is one of the most popular locations for hot air
balloon travel in the entire world. The balmy weather, consistent winds, and gorgeous
rolling terrain all combine to make for a fun and exciting balloon ride. However, it was
not always such smooth sailing for Napa balloon rides. The industry is extraordinarily
safe and well maintained today, but the first balloon ride in the Napa Valley did not go
The story of the first of all Napa balloon rides comes to us from the Napa Reporter, a
weekly newspaper that ran in Napa City from 1872 to 1874. Those tumultuous years
saw many historic events, but one of the most amusing of them was the story of the first
hot air balloon in the Napa Valley. It belonged to a circus that came to Napa City on
June 4th, 1873. Along with its other attractions the circus owned a hot air balloon and a
man brave enough to climb into it.
With the characteristic hometown emphasis of newspapers of that era, the Reporter
does not tell us the name of the man who flew the balloon or the circus that brought him
there. They do, however, tell us the names of the men who owned the properties that
he crashed into.
The flight began well enough, since it was a warm and sunny day. The pilot brought the
balloon up and navigated it over the schoolhouse without difficulty. From there things
took a turn for the worse. The man lost control of his balloon and crashed it into the side
of Mr. Richman’s barn. It caromed away from the barn and entangled itself in the top of
a tree in Mr. Pierson’s yard. Mr. Pierson, a glove maker, was there to watch the unlucky
pilot extricate himself from the tangled mess and lower himself to the ground.
Unfortunately, as he attempted to climb down the bark peeled away from the tree,
bringing him back to earth more quickly than he might have intended. The newspaper
reports that he was scratched and bruised but there were no serious injury.
Freed of the pilot’s weight, the balloon lifted itself back out of Mr. Pierson’s tree. It then
ascended, unpiloted, to a height of about three hundred feet. It hovered there
motionless for a minute, to the astonishment of all spectators, then fell into Mr. McKay’s
History does not record the fate of the balloon or the circus, but a quick look at all of the
hot air balloons in the skies above the Napa Valley today shows that their daring
venture pioneered the way to the amazing and safe Napa balloon rides that we enjoy | <urn:uuid:efcfc086-c1e3-4880-b144-5a5d38fee574> | CC-MAIN-2018-34 | https://nvaloft.com/2013/03/08/the-first-hot-air-balloon-in-napa-valley/ | 2018-08-20T10:22:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-34/segments/1534221216333.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20180820101554-20180820121554-00349.warc.gz | en | 0.96292 | 573 |

This trend, I suppose, began when Fred Couples started wearing the Ecco street golf shoe in 2010. It grew in 2011. And now, in 2012, the rage of playing golf in shoes without spikes seems to be picking up more and more steam. If you don’t believe me, I will provide three examples.
1. That is the bottom of a True Linkswear shoe. And it is also one of the content pages in the newest issue of Golf Digest, the biggest golf magazine on the market. In the April issue, you will see several pages of shoe reviews. Six of the shoes reviewed are spikeless models.
2. If you watched any of Justin Rose’s victory at Doral, you may or may not have noticed that the he wasn’t wearing traditional spikes. While us normal golfers play at places where the old-school metal spike is extinct, you still hear some clicking of metal spikes on tour. While most guys wear some version of soft spikes, the players have an option.
As was the case when he won the BMW Championship last fall, Rose was wearing the adidas Adicross shoes at Doral. The shoes look like a tennis shoe and have nubs all across the bottom of the shoe. And this isn’t a high end, expensive shoe as you can go to lots of golf stores and walk out with them for $90.
3. I was recently in Houston and stopped at a massive Golfsmith in The Woodlands on my way to the airport. The shoe department was very large and it had more new product than I had seen in Minnesota. I was kind of surprised just how many spikeless models are out there in 2012. A year ago, spikeless shoe options were primarily limited to Ecco and True Linkswear, you can now buy spikeless kicks from adidas, Nike, Ashworth, Callaway and Footjoy.
In other words, the big boys have moved into this space. To me that means that they think there are spikeless shoes to be sold. It also means more spikeless shoes will be sold in large part because the big brands legitimize the trend.
As I’ve made pretty clear on this blog, I’m a big fan of spikeless shoes. I currently have two pairs of True Tours from 2011 and a pair of the new 2012 True PHX.
I haven’t worn a pair of golf shoes with spikes since a trip to Chicago last July 28-29. The area had received a ton of rain and the forecast was for more rain. While my Trues have been good in wet conditions — I don’t find myself slipping — I wanted a little more traction. Since then I’ve teed it up on more than 20 different courses with different grasses, different turf conditions and different weather. I haven’t had any problems.
Why do I like them? And why have I become such an advocate for spikeless golf? The biggest reason is comfort and weight. Spikeless shoes are much lighter than shoes with spikes. Spikeless shoes don’t need a plate for spikes to be screwed into and they don’t need as heavy of a sole.
I was initially uncomfortable with how the Trues looked. The toe box is big. They look a little clown-like. But once I wore them and my feet felt great after, I didn’t care what they looked like. Don’t get me wrong, I love the classic look of some sweet Footjoy Icons, but as a hardcore walker, I want comfort and function.
As 2011 moved along, I would start to see more and more Trues out there. There are three other guys at my club that I know of that got them (one guy has two pair) and I expect to see more. When I was in the locker room at other clubs, I’d keep my eyes open for Trues and would sometimes see a pair here or there. On my trip to Texas, I saw Trues for sale in the pro shop of a very well-known club.
I expect that I’m going to see more and more Trues and other spikeless shoes this season.
All of that leads me to a couple of questions. Do you think spikeless shoes will continue a rise in popularity? Will they really gain enough momentum to stay in the shoe equation for years to come? And do you think you’ll try a pair? | <urn:uuid:8f694e59-3cb9-40be-a432-9dcb4a8d21c7> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | https://onlygolfmatters.com/2012/03/15/will-you-get-spikeless-shoes-in-2012/ | 2017-10-18T12:59:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187822966.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20171018123747-20171018143747-00368.warc.gz | en | 0.97516 | 927 |
From the keiretsu:
- Esta writes about the Episcopalian decision to ordain a gay bishop, and some subsequent fallout in that community: “The greater public sees a large proportion of believers being hateful, and the church wonders why its numbers are dwindling?” The interesting part of that process, in my opinion, is the way the allegations of child abuse and pornography sprung up in the eleventh hour, but were quickly defused. Makes you wonder…
- Got an IM from Greg this morning confirming the arrival of my birthday gift, the first CD I burned using this machine. If anyone else is curious, I posted the play order over at Art of the Mix.
- Flangy points out the one thing I didn’t in my update marathon last night: it rained here. Shortly after I put the sprinkler on our tomatoes. He also wishes for categorized RSS feeds. Unfortunately Manila doesn’t provide those out of the box, but there’s an RSS plugin available that I use to roll mine. | <urn:uuid:6ac2d37c-4711-4a2e-a847-bd4bbbdcd1d7> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://www.jarretthousenorth.com/2003/08/06/once-around-the-block/ | 2017-06-24T14:00:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320263.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20170624133941-20170624153941-00641.warc.gz | en | 0.933904 | 218 |
3 Sentence Summary
Alexandra Wilson sets out her very real experience of being a pupil Barrister, the professional challenges and the skills that made her have the success she has. She poignantly highlights throughout the book the various discrimination issues facing the Bar and the Criminal Justice System whilst shattering the stereotype that Barristers are old white men. She also notes how the state of the Criminal Justice System leaves those from the most deprived backgrounds likely to suffer the most.
The book provides and incredibly accessible overview of life as a pupil barrister with very real court room examples (all pseudonomised) which highlight the various human challenges presented when trying to administer justice. The book clearly sets out the challenges of racial bias which still exist at the Bar and throughout the Criminal Justice System. You are left thinking that more must be done to challenge perceptions and attitudes so that black people and minorities are no longer over represented in prison by underrepresented in at the various levels of the system that placed them there.
Who should read it
It is a must read for any aspiring barrister and anyone interested in understanding the levels of racial prejudice that (sadly) exist in the Criminal Justice System.
My key take aways
If you are about to have a criminal hearing maybe ask for Alex Wilson to represent you and don’t be surprised when Alex is a woman. On a more serious note, the future of the Bar (and the legal industry as a whole) is one of diversity and this book highlights the desperate need for that. If the public is to have faith in the Justice System then it must be operated (at all levels) by a workforce that represents society. It has also reminded me to remember how my background has made my life and career easier.
Top three quotes
“There should be representatives from all types of ethnic and racial backgrounds that better reflect the public we serve.”
“In a well-functioning society, people should only convicted if we can be sure of their guilt and should only face a punishment proportionate to the crime. One way to ensure this is for every defendant to have good legal representation, as well as the state being represented.”
“I take pride in the fact I am a barrister from a non-traditional background, my clients feel that I am relatable and trust me to help them with the significant choices they have to make.” | <urn:uuid:a81a37cc-5ca1-477f-8f41-a073cacc34f1> | CC-MAIN-2023-14 | https://johnshawip.com/2020/10/28/books-notes-in-black-and-white-a-young-barristers-story-of-race-and-class-in-a-broken-legal-system/ | 2023-03-21T16:36:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-14/segments/1679296943704.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230321162614-20230321192614-00050.warc.gz | en | 0.958545 | 494 |

“What do you think? You’re scared… you want to know more, you want to see the whole thing”… Capping off “Metallica Day” at Comic Con International: San Diego (i.e. San Diego Comic Con) with a “secret” concert at Spreckels Theatre, the metal band’s front man James Hetfield makes a mid-gig reference to the IMAX 3D film, Metallica Through The Never. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band gave away tickets to the intimate 1,463 capacity concert venue during their Comic Con Hall H appearance earlier in the day (and funny enough, Hall H accommodates a much larger crowd of around 7,000. I know from picking up my own ticket at the special will call earlier in the day that many Fan Club members were also in attendance, so it was a pretty great energy from the crowd. Though the show was not too long (they came on an hour late at about 11 PM and finished up well before 12:30 AM), it was a fairly relentless onslaught of the metal music fans came to hear.

If you want it yesterday, you put the “Triple Rush” on it. That’s a term for high-priority packages coined by those heroes of urban cycling, New York City bike couriers.
Now, Livestock and Adidas splash phrases across the new Velosamba Triple Rush. The versatile, slickly-styled piece of footwear is designed to be equally comfortable for commuters and functional for couriers.
The stock Velosamba has been around for a while, and the aim is a shoe that’s stiff enough for “efficient pedaling [but] still flexes for comfortable walking.” In service of that utility, the Velosamba gets a full-length reinforced midsole and two-bolt cleat compatibility.
The Livestock collab differs from the classic in materials and styling. The Livestock Velosamba Triple Rush comes with both suede and ballistic nylon. It’s an homage to the motley but durable getup that most couriers wear.
In the style department, I’d classify Livestock’s take as understated, rendered as it is in grey and black with the small, splashed yellow font. And of course, the ubiquitous Adidas “three-stripe” design makes its presence felt.
There’s real steez in the insoles, which show off an illustration of a frantic bike courier busting ass to deliver his package safe and sound.
The Triple Rush weighs in 442g per shoe (claimed). It’s available now at deadstock.ca and Livestock locations across Canada for MSRP $170 CAD. | <urn:uuid:326c2c56-2c85-4ce0-9318-78febea8c1bd> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://bikerumor.com/livestock-x-adidas-velosamba/ | 2023-09-24T07:14:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506623.27/warc/CC-MAIN-20230924055210-20230924085210-00384.warc.gz | en | 0.914492 | 345 |
Macular degeneration, or AMD, is the leading cause of severe vision loss in the U.S. for people 50 and older. In fact, given the size of the aging Baby Boomer population, experts predict that AMD will reach epidemic proportions in less than 15 years.
Unfortunately there is no cure for AMD, so knowing risk factors and sharing them with your eye care professionals is critical, especially as you approach your fifties and beyond. For patients with AMD, early detection has a significant impact on disease progression and vision loss.
Following are some of the risk factors for AMD. As you can see some are genetic, but others are environmental and within your control.
Age. People 55 years and older are at greater risk.
Race. Caucasians develop the disease at a higher rate than other races.
Genetics. People with a family history of AMD have greater risk than those without.
Smoking. Research shows the more people smoke, the more likely they are to develop AMD.
UV exposure. UV light, and blue light, can damage the retina, the part of the eye effected by AMD.
Unchecked cardiovascular disease or high blood pressure. Research indicates a correlation between cardiovascular disease and AMD. The two share common risk factors, such as smoking, poor diet and lack of exercise.
Because symptoms in the early stages of AMD often go unnoticed, regular comprehensive eye exams are the best defense for addressing the disease. Make sure we are aware of your risk factors, especially family history. | <urn:uuid:ea1e0040-a120-4654-a94c-f7a258e5fb08> | CC-MAIN-2020-16 | http://www.northcentereyecare.com/for-patients/improve-your-eye-q/eye-health-spotlight/early-detection-is-the-best-defense-against-amd/ | 2020-04-05T09:16:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-16/segments/1585371576284.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20200405084121-20200405114121-00430.warc.gz | en | 0.952292 | 307 |

“Can you take that into the garage, it’s getting loud?” Are you freaking kidding me? As a kid the sound of the hand crank (and later on the electric one) ice cream pail (maker) was music to our ears. Sunday afternoons especially when we had family visiting, meant home made coconut ice cream (or sour sop, barbadine… any fruit that was in season). As kids we would circle that ice cream pail like hawks ready to pounce on it’s prey. The key was listening closely to the hum of the ice cream maker, since it got to a sort of dragging pace/sound when the ice cream was firm inside – it was then time to attack.
This day we had friends over for dinner and since I’ve been receiving tons of messages for a coconut ice cream recipe and the fact that our guests love ice cream, I thought it was time for me to dust off the ice cream maker we purchased a couple summers ago. Reluctantly I took the maker into the garage, since the sound of the churning was supposedly disturbing them… forget that this was helping me relive one of the most cherished childhood memories
4 tablespoon custard powder
4 cups of coconut milk
2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup sugar
1 can condensed milk (sweetened)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* I need to mention a few things about the ingredients I listed above.
Coconut milk – the traditional way is to get a couple dried coconuts, husk, grate, add water and squeeze out the milk from the pulp. But to save on time and sourcing “good” dried coconut was hard for me, so I opted for the milk in the can.
Heavy cream – to keep this a bit healthy I used 1/2 and 1/2 which is a cream with a lower fat content. But you’re free to use heavy cream or you can also substitute Carnation milk for the cream.
* If you’re using an ice cream maker that’s not one of the new ones (where you have to freeze the inserts before using) you’ll be required to have ice and some salt for the freezing process.
This is a very simple recipe, but you do need a couple hours of prep time to ensure that the cream mixture cools down in the fridge and you also have to factor in time for the ice cream maker.
Start by making a custard. In a deep pan/pot whisk together (over low heat) 1 cup of the coconut milk, the sugar, custard powder and heavy cream. Keep whisking as this can easily start to stick to the bottom of the pan and go lumpy. The goal is to get a thick consistency and can take between 5-9 minutes. You’ll notice that it will be thick enough to start remaining on the sides of the pan (see pics below).
Turn off the stove and add all the other ingredients to the pot. Whisk like you’ve never whisked before (or use an electric mixer). It’s important that you break down any lumps that may form and to incorporate everything. Then place in the fridge to cool down for at least an hour.
After it cools, place in your ice cream maker and freeze according to it’s instructions. As I mentioned, we have one of the electric ones that churn away with the aid of a small motor at the top. I placed the mixture in the ice cream container, attach the hood and then fill the side with ice. I had to purchase ice cubes so they could easily fit without having to break up further. After I packed the side with ice, I poured salt all over the ice and then turned on the machine. Now don’t ask me why I put the salt on the ice, it’s just something I saw my dad would do. Supposedly it’s to keep the ice/water at a constant temperature.Remember to keep adding ice and salt to the sides as necessary.
Normally I’d have pics showing what I mean by placing the ice, salt etc.. but I started making mango margaritas and I kinda forgot about taking pics.. . I do apologize. I’ll sahre the recipe for that treat soon.
Our machine took about 30 minutes to fully firm the ice cream and as I touched on above… the machine will start dragging when the ice cream is fully done. If you like soft serve textured ice cream you can enjoy the ice cream right now. However I like to empty the ice cream into freezer containers and place in the freezer for about 30 minutes to really firm out. This also allows me to keep small batches for when I next feel like a refreshing dessert – like today!
* Tip – If you like pieces of coconut in your ice cream, a quick fix is to purchase some shredded coconut from the grocers and add as a topping. To enhance the flavour of the shredded coconut, toast it on the stove for a couple minutes. I supposed you could also add it to the mixture before freezing… so it’s infused into the ice cream. The choice is yours, as I like my coconut ice cream naked! The pic with the sprinkles above, was for our daughter.

Mass Advanced Pack Includes:
- Max's Clean Mass - 6lbs
- Max's Anabolic Night - 4lbs
- Max's BCAA's 10:1:1 - 500g
- Max's Glutamine+ - 500g
- Max's Creatine X8 - 500g
Max's Clean Mass
Using the most clinically proven ratio of 2:1 carbs to protein, Clean Mass optimises efficient protein and carbohydrate intake while maximising post workout recovery.
Max's Anabolic Night
Anabolic Night is designed to drip feed your muscles with bioactive muscle building protein, without the gastric stress that food causes when eaten to close to sleep. But this isn’t just some run of the mill casein protein, Max’s Anabolic Night also includes muscle protein synthesis stimulating whey protein concentrate as well.
Max's BCAA 10:1:1
MAX’S Branched Chain Amino Acids are the three amino acids L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine and L-Valine. They are all known as essential amino acids because your body cannot actually make them so you need a constant supply every day to maintain good health. One of the key benefits of BCAA’s is their ability to stimulate protein synthesis in skeletal muscle. Other amino acids simply don’t have this capability.
Glutamine provides fuel for your immune system, digestive system, and most importantly fuel for your brain. Hard training really depletes your body’s Glutamine levels. To restore balance your body will break down muscle tissue to release Glutamine to support these essential functions. MAX’S Glutamine+, which combines free form L-Glutamine with N-Acetyl L-Glutamine, stops muscle catabolism in it’s tracks so you recover faster, have less soreness and build more muscle.
Eight different forms of Creatine, plus supporting co-factors, is why MAX’S Creatine X8 continues to set the standard for Creatine formulas. Each Creatine hybrid has a different absorption speed and different entry point into your muscle’s energy cycles. The result – fast and sustained release for maximum energy and unbelievable muscle gains..

5 things on Friday #12
Five things of note for the week ending Friday March 23rd, 2012
1. Obama using sign language
I’ve taken sign language lessons in the past and, as much as the simple (yet purposeful) sign for ‘thank you’ isn’t actually that hard, the fact the President of the United States was able to respond in such a way is pretty damn ace. Stephon, the chap that Obama was responding to, was understandably over the moon about it – as you’d hope you would be at such a fantastic moment.
Obviously it was reported on, and you could say ‘Yeah? And?’, but the point is knowing a different language – including something like Sign – can turn out to be useful at the most random of moments. I spent some time learning sign in my late teens (what I remember is basic, at best) but I’ll never forget, perhaps a week or so after my course finished and while working away at my local fast food joint (it was a college job!) being able to offer a deaf customer the option of signing his order to me. That understanding, that moment of surprise and delight was magical! ‘Wait, you know Sign?’ he signed to me. ‘A little’ I signed back, smiling.
This item goes in because it reminds me of that day.
And it makes me want to learn Sign again.
2. Where Good Ideas Come From
I’ve been reading the above book for a little while now (it’s not a huge read, but I have a tendency to read three books at once) and the current section – on the strength and important of platforms when it comes to innovation – has led to one awesome discovery and one equally awesome reminder.
First: the invention of GPS –
“…inspiration for GPS came when the Soviet Union launched the first man-made satellite,Sputnik in 1957. Two American physicists, William Guier and George Weiffenbach, at Johns Hopkins’s Applied Physics Laboratory (APL), decided on their own to monitor Sputnik’s radio transmissions. Within hours they realized that, because of the Doppler effect, they could pinpoint where the satellite was along its orbit from the Doppler shift. The Director of the APL gave them access to their UNIVAC to do the heavy calculations required.
When they released the orbit of Sputnik to the media, the Russians were dumbfounded to learn how powerful American computers had become, as they would not have been able to calculate the orbit themselves. The following spring, Frank McClure, the deputy director of the APL, asked Guier and Weiffenbach to look at the inverse problem where you know the location of the satellite and you want to find your own location. (The Navy was developing the submarine-launched Polaris missile, which required them to know the submarine’s location.) This led them and APL to develop the Transit system.”
Er, so two young physicists wondered if they could spot the tell-tale radio signal of the Sputnik satellite – from their office – back in 1957 and now, 55 years later, that exact same thinking is powering urban games, geo-tagging photos and generally baked into every single modern smartphone in the world. Amazing.
Secondly: the reminder of Delaware Subway Coral –
I can remember reading about this when it happened, but the book touches upon it and it made me go and seek out the pictures again. It’s a great idea; use the hundreds upon hundreds of retired New York subway cars to help build a new marine ecosystem off the coast of Delaware – and it’s working.
Also – read this damn book.
3. The Nova Festival
With summer just around the corner the UK festival scene is preparing its sunglasses and its wellies for a season of muddy music-based merriment however, this year, two of my favourite haunts are taking a year off – there will be no Big Chill or Glastonbury in 2012.
So what to do?
Well, I’ve already booked myself a ticket for the Isle of Wight festival with some friends of mine and, given that I’ve never really done two festivals in one season before, I’m giving serious consideration to attending the Nova Festival too. Setup by two of the original producers of the Big Chill, it looks like it might be the soothing and dare I say it chilled way to spend a long weekend in July. Maybe. We’ll see…
4. Knowing when to unplug
This thought came back to me this past week. Being on your laptop / iPad / mobile phone from the moment you open your eyes to the moment you close them again is no way to live a life. Keep that thought clear, unplug every now and then and go out and enjoy the sunshine.
Went to the premiere, which was pretty damn cool. I think this is a bit late mind (yes, it is – this was back on March 14th – I just forgot to write it up). I don’t feel like I gave the film a fair chance though to be honest. Because it was a premiere, once you’ve been ushered in you have to wait for all the stars to finish signing autographs etc before they start the film. Which meant we had to wait an hour after we’d taken our seats before anything got under way.
I haven’t read the books (bad Whatley), I didn’t think the film was ‘ZOMG!! LIKE BEST MOVIE EVA!!’ nor did I think it was particular rubbish. It was.. all right. Not brilliant, not bad, just OK. It probably deserves a second viewing.
And I should really read the books too.
Bonuses – another Prometheus trailer (I’m more excited about this than I think DKR or Avengers); a kitten playing with a super patient St. Bernard; Baboons that steal puppies then train them as guard dogs (for realsies); and a company called Calera seems to be doing things that completely blow my mind. | <urn:uuid:15ae7bff-1b9f-4532-95bd-36c64a02411f> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://whatleydude.com/2012/03/5-things-on-friday-12/ | 2017-05-24T17:49:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463607849.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20170524173007-20170524193007-00452.warc.gz | en | 0.963859 | 1,293 |
