I have some experience in portrait shoots and head shots but I am always expanding my genres.
I'd like to help models build up their portfolios while building up my own. So time for images is usually what I offer. I will give you digital copies as well as put your photos in a gallery on my zenfoilio.
I prefer outdoor work but I am willing to do whatever the shoot calls for. I will travel depending on the shoot.
I prefer natural light and natural settings to capture a truer representation of the model.
I am open to all types of photography.
I have a few years of Photoshop experience. My goal is to make you look your best without losing a true representation.

Here is a picture of a bike in a little street of Amsterdam..
If you wouldn't have called the photo "Bike in Amsterdam" , but "Wall in Amsterdam", there would be no regards. But since (I guess) you wanted to give an impact on the BIKE, you should have but more BIKE in the scene. One-two steps back and the result would have been more satisfying. The idea is interesting, but I would stick to graffiti , rather than to torn off posters. Just being a little a-hole here, so don't take my critic to seriously.

Ah, summer is finally here. In my opinion, it seemed to have snuck up on us awfully fast. I don’t quite feel prepared. Millions of people are probably feeling the same way as they pull on their shorts and bathing suits for the first time and realize that the waistband is a bit too snug or that the bathing suit seems tighter than it did last summer.
Reaching and staying at a healthy weight is never an easy task (although it’s doable) and while sensible food choices, portion control, and regular physical activity are the mainstays of weight management, it never hurts to see what else might be new and useful to try. So, that’s my focus for this week.
The Delboeuf Illusion
Never heard of Delboeuf? He was a Belgian philosopher who discovered that two identical circles will appear to differ in size if one of the circles is inside a much larger circle and the other one is inside only a slightly larger circle. (The circle that’s inside the much larger circle looks smaller due to the contrast in size.)
Scientists at Cornell University’s Food & Brand Lab applied this concept to dinner plates. They did a recent study aptly named the “Plate Size and Color Suggestibility” study. In it, researchers took advantage of a college reunion (a good venue to do a study) and randomly gave 60 participants either a red or white plate. The buffet line consisted of pasta with tomato sauce or pasta with Alfredo sauce. Once the folks got their plates of pasta, the portions were measured. The people who had a low contrast between their pasta and their plate color (that is to say, they put Alfredo pasta on a white plate or tomato pasta on a red plate) served themselves 22% more pasta than those who ate the Alfredo sauce on a red plate or the tomato sauce on a white plate. So, it seems like if your food blends into your plate, you probably will eat more.
Lessons learned. If you’re trying to limit your portions, eat your meals off plates that have a high contrast with your food. If you want to eat more of a certain food, go with a similarly colored plate: eat your spinach off of a green plate. And the color of your placemat or tablecloth can make a difference in your portions sizes, too. If it’s not possible to have a rainbow assortment of plates, use a placemat or tablecloth with a low color contrast to your plate to limit the chances of overeating. While you’re at it, dig out your smaller plates to eat from, rather than the larger-diameter plates that prompt you to eat more.
Be Nice to Yourself
Words can hurt, and if your tendency is to complain about your weight or the way you look, or essentially put yourself down, you may be more likely to feel depressed and have a poor body image. In a study published in the Journal of Applied Communication Research, researchers gave college students questionnaires to learn about the impact of “fat talk.” The questionnaires addressed issues such as eating and exercise habits, becoming overweight, and self-perceptions of body weight and image. The more a person engaged in negative “fat talk,” the more likely the student was to be depressed, have a poor body image, and feel pressure to be thin.
Lessons learned. Beating yourself up about your weight, putting yourself down, or complaining about your thigh size to someone isn’t going to help you much in the long run. In fact, “fat talk” may make it more likely that you’ll feel bad about yourself. Instead, try using more positive, empowering statements, such as “I walked three miles today” or “I chose broccoli over the French fries at dinner.” Be nice to yourself as well as to others!
Bet you CAN Eat just One!
Who here can stop eating after one (or twelve) potato chips? One of the reasons why people overeat and subsequently gain weight is that they have a hard time stopping eating once they get started. One of the researchers from the plate study, mentioned above, addressed this very issue in a study published in the journal Health Psychology.
College students were given a tube of stackable potato chips, some of which contained chips that were dyed red. The red chips were inserted at specific intervals, such as after one serving of chips or after two servings of chips. The students had no idea why the red chips were there, but the researchers found that they ate about 50% fewer chips than those given a chip tube without the red chips inside, saving themselves about 250 calories. In addition, the “red chip” group was able to better estimate how many chips they actually ate. Sticking those red chips in the chip tube was a way of signaling the person to stop eating.
Lessons learned. Mindlessly munching on any food boosts the chances that you’ll overeat (especially if you’re doing something else at the same time, like watching television). While it may be a little difficult to place red potato chips in your food, using other types of visual cues may help curb your eating may help. What else helps? Using a smaller plate, not doing other things when you’re eating, and eating preportioned snacks (rather than from the box or bag). Maybe there should be an app for that… | <urn:uuid:ddf1dc5c-21db-47ea-bfed-60bf6cd0d885> | CC-MAIN-2016-36 | http://www.diabetesselfmanagement.com/blog/weight-update/ | 2016-08-26T06:39:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-36/segments/1471982295358.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20160823195815-00024-ip-10-153-172-175.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.964132 | 1,133 |

Amazon is now rolling out a long-overdue interface revamp for the Fire TV streaming devices. Notably, when Amazon announced its third-generation Fire TV products, it also said that a new interface will be rolled out this year.
And it seems like Amazon has stuck true to its words, as it is rolling out a new Fire TV platform update. The update is touted to be a “new Fire TV experience” for the devices.
It brings features like multi-user support. This feature shows personalized recommendations and watch lists for each profile. Additionally, there is a streamlined interface, making it easier and faster to reach your favorite entertainment apps.
The new update is more focused on implementing a fresh design and discovering new shows. Amazon will be rolling out the Fire TV interface update first to the 3rd-generation Fire TV Stick and Stick Lite.
The Amazon Fire TV interface update brings some obvious changes. Like there is a new ‘Home’ section with a Main Menu at the center. Moreover, the center also shows various content recommendations arranged underneath it.
Besides, the above-mentioned navigation menu also includes a scrolling list of all of your favorite streaming apps. All in one place, making it easier to access these apps.
Amazon Fire TV interface update adds separate tabs for Library, Find Page, and more
The navigation menu includes separate tabs for Library, Find Page, Home Screen, and Live Programming page. Using this Find Page tab, you can search for any content across the recommended content.
You can also search for movies, TV shows, free ad-supported content, and sports from various services. Amazon has also improved Alexa integration with the new Fire TV devices.
Once you have set up a voice profile, Alexa will recognize your voice and automatically switch over to the matching profile when asked.
Another feature is the ability to set up and has up to six user profiles. Now, this would enable you to set up six user profiles for different members of your family.
You can customize the experience and select which program or TV channel you want in your profile. So, you can have a personal profile based on your likings.
The new Fire TV update adds support for picture-in-picture. The on-screen Alexa responses have also been tweaked to be less intrusive. Meaning that the responses will now appear at the bottom of the screen instead of covering the entire content you are watching.
As already mentioned, the new Fire TV update is rolling out for the third-generation Fire TV Stick and Fire TV Stick Lite over the coming weeks. Other Fire TV devices will get the updates early next year. | <urn:uuid:f9017ad7-3b90-44fb-9bf6-ef9aa34897d2> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.androidheadlines.com/2020/12/amazon-is-rolling-out-a-revamped-fire-tv-interface.html | 2021-12-02T12:12:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964362219.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20211202114856-20211202144856-00084.warc.gz | en | 0.918297 | 535 |
Here are the films that have been nominated for Best Picture and my four-word review on each.
Birdman - Excellent and thoughtful film.
Boyhood - Glorious piece of Shite.
Selma - Never heard of it.
The Theory of Everything - Too vague a title.
The Imitation Game - Hopefully about Rich Little.
American Sniper - Very, good, violent flick.
Whiplash - Plan on seeing it.
The Grand Budapest Hotel - Possibly greatest movie ever.
Editorial notes: Nightcrawler starring Jake Gyllenhaal should have been nominated. This is bull shit. Furthermore, both critics and audiences LOVED Guardians of the Galaxy, I know it's a silly sci-fi/comedy/adventure.....but it was GREAT, and deserved to be nominated. The Academy dropped the ball on both of those. And where's Inherent Vice? Come on, mang. Shit, homie, if Budapest Hotel does not win the Oscar for Best Picture, I'm suing the Planet Earth. Good Day.

Kansas State quarterback Collin Klein already has won the Heisman Trophy. At least that what's what ABC play-by-play announcer Brent Musburger said during the Wildcats' 44-30 victory over Oklahoma State on Saturday night.
Musburger noted Klein had 17 rushing touchdowns this season after he scored on a 1-yard run early in the third quarter.
“The Heisman Trophy winner is just having a remarkable season,” he said.
Analyst Kirk Herbstreit quickly corrected his colleague.
“Not quite the winner just yet. You're doing a little foreshadowing right there. He's the front-runner. Feels like he's won, he's so far in front.”
After cameras showed a K-State fan with a fake Heisman trophy, Musburger said, “I saw the hardware.”
Musburger's mistake wasn't surprising considering he and Herbstreit kept a close eye on CBS' Alabama-LSU telecast on one of their monitors, giving regular updates, which probably didn't make their network bosses happy.
* The game to watch? After back-to-back kickoff returns for touchdowns in the second quarter, a giddy Herbstreit said, “You and I, Kansas State-Oklahoma State against LSU-Alabama. We just got action you like, points you like, scores you like. This is the game you want to watch.”
* Praise for Chelf: While Hersbreit noted OSU freshman quarterback Wes Lunt's struggles, he praised junior Clint Chelf for his role off the bench after Lunt's concussion.
“The biggest difference you are seeing with Chelf, because of his experience, is how quick he is making decisions,” said Herbstreit, also crediting the OSU line for providing him protection.
* Rough interview: Sideline reporter Heather Cox earned low marks for asking Snyder how it felt for him in his second stint with the Wildcats and his current players to finally beat OSU.
“Well, I've been here for a long time, so we've won a game or two against Oklahoma State,” Snyder said.
Analyst Ed Cunningham took some shots at the Sooners in their 35-20 victory over Iowa State in ABC's 11 a.m. telecast. Cunningham was particularly critical of the Belldozer, saying it was time for OU to scrap the short-yardage formation. He noted that Blake Bell was hesitant to hit the holes, when OU's strategy, is in fact, for Bell to wait for the holes to develop.

At the most critical times in yesterday's 41-13 rout of the Houston Texans, it became apparent Joe Flacco is no longer a rookie quarterback.
He has become a clutch one. Lose your top receiver? No worries. Instead of hanging his head, Flacco looked downfield to hit Yamon Figurs for a 43-yard touchdown.
Lose the momentum of the game in the second half? No problem, either. Flacco nonchalantly capped a nine-play, 78-yard drive with a 1-yard touchdown pass to Todd Heap in the fourth quarter.
"Joe Cool" is the trigger man for the hottest offense in team history - it's the first time the Ravens have scored at least 27 points in four straight games - and one of the hottest teams in the NFL.
The Ravens' fourth victory in a row - in a game postponed nearly two months by Hurricane Ike - made them 6-3 and moved them into a first-place tie with the Pittsburgh Steelers atop the AFC North.
"He's calm under fire," wide receiver Derrick Mason said of Flacco. "I know that's a cliche. But when things aren't going well, he stays calm no matter what the situation is."
Flacco's statistics suggest he had a solid but not spectacular game. He completed 15 of 23 passes for two touchdowns and no interceptions.
But it's when he produced that underscored his role in the Ravens' highest-scoring day in three seasons.
The offense let out a collective gasp when Flacco's overthrown pass led to Mason's dislocating his left shoulder midway through the first quarter of a scoreless game.
Then, two plays after his favorite target went to the sideline, Flacco slung a deep pass to Figurs down the middle of the field to put the Ravens ahead 7-0.
Flacco said he didn't think Figurs would be open because the Texans showed a cover-2 defense (both safeties playing deep). But one safety bit on Mark Clayton's route, leaving the speedy Figurs one-on-one with cornerback Jacques Reeves.
"The way they played it, he ended up popping open," said Flacco, who has thrown a touchdown of at least 40 yards in three straight games. "I wasn't really quite sure whether to believe it or not."
It was the first touchdown catch - and only the second career reception - for Figurs, Mason's replacement, who wasn't surprised Flacco spotted him getting behind his man.
"He always tells me to be ready to get the ball no matter what the play is," Figurs said.
The most telling part of Flacco's game recently has been his play in the second half.
A week ago in Cleveland, Flacco led the Ravens' comeback after the Browns had scored touchdowns on consecutive possessions to open the third quarter.
He faced another momentum swing at Reliant Stadium. One play after Matt Stover missed a 50-yard field-goal attempt, Texans receiver Kevin Walter scored on a 60-yard pass to cut the Ravens' lead to 19-13 with 3:01 left in the third quarter.
On the next series, Flacco answered with a drive jump-started by his 8-yard scramble and a 21-yard pass to Mason (who returned in the second half).
The Ravens were also helped by three Houston penalties - the last was pass interference that gave the Ravens first-and-goal at the Texans' 1-yard line.
Flacco then found Heap for a 1-yard touchdown to put the Ravens ahead 27-13. Flacco's first touchdown connection with Heap ignited a 22-point fourth quarter that gave the Ravens their largest margin of victory on the road since they routed Cleveland, 35-0, in December 2003.
"They were starting to feel they are going to get back in the game," Flacco said. "So, we just knew we needed to go back down there and do what we've been doing all game - keep moving the ball and keep getting first downs. And when we get down there, we got to capitalize on our chance to get the ball in the end zone."
The Ravens capitalized on a play that was far from perfect.
Going in motion to his left, Heap acted as if he were blocking before trying to sneak out to the left flat for the pass. But he got tripped up by a Ravens lineman and started to stumble.
Heap braced himself in time and was able to run uncovered, where a backpedaling Flacco threw a short touch pass to him.
"He was only guy on the route," Flacco said. "I saw him kind of stumble down, and I was like, 'Oh no.' I started backing up and backing up. I trusted that he would come up. He was wide open. So, it was pretty easy."
Flacco has made quarterbacking look easy during the Ravens' winning streak. In his past four games, he has six touchdown passes and no interceptions.
More importantly, Flacco has played his best when the Ravens have needed him the most.
"He doesn't get flustered," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. "Momentum swings don't affect him too much. He comes out and plays the next series and takes care of business. That's the kind of person he is. He played well when he had to, no question about it."Copyright © 2015, Hartford Courant | <urn:uuid:a001fe1b-4c58-4388-aaca-c74553b4ee59> | CC-MAIN-2015-06 | http://www.courant.com/bal-ravenstexans111008-story.html | 2015-01-26T05:50:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-06/segments/1422115858171.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20150124161058-00136-ip-10-180-212-252.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.986745 | 1,127 |
AUGUSTA, Maine — They had waited 64 years to celebrate a state championship, but the wait didn’t stop there for the Greenville High School boys basketball program and its supporters.
Not until Gavin Gardner’s last-second 3-pointer from the right corner bounced off the rim and into the hands of Lakers’ center Devin Boone could they first take the deepest of breaths before exploding with joy late Saturday afternoon as Greenville escaped with a 47-46 victory over Woodland in the Class D state final at the Augusta Civic Center.
“I was closing out on the kid shooting,” Greenville senior forward Evan Bjork said. “I almost had a heart attack, I’m not going to lie. It was pretty scary, but when I saw Devin get that rebound at the end of the game I knew we won.
“This is insane. It hasn’t quite sunk it yet but I can’t believe it.”
The championship is the first since 1954 for Greenville, which lost to Machias in last year’s state contest and dropped its first two regular-season outings this winter before winning its final 20 games.
“This is something we’ve been waiting for since we walked off the court after the state championship game last year,” said Lakers’ senior guard Nick Foley, who contributed 14 points and six assists to the victory. “We didn’t want to ever have that feeling again.”
Woodland, seeking its first gold ball since 2009, finished 18-4.
“We had our chances,” Dragons’ coach Ben Maloney said, “but credit [Greenville], they’re all seniors and they were in this position last year and took advantage of it this year.”
Greenville never trailed after jumping out to an 11-0 lead but was required to nurse that advantage to the very end as Woodland countered the Lakers’ size advantage with a willingness to push the pace whenever possible.
But while the Dragons never let Greenville pull away, they could never quite complete the comeback.
“We gave up some shots that we could have avoided but we didn’t panic,” Greenville coach Bill Foley said. “The kids did not panic.”
Woodland ultimately crept within two points late in the third quarter and then pulled within one when junior point guard Drew Hayward banked in a straightaway 3-pointer from beyond the top of the key to make it 47-46 with 23.6 seconds left in the game.
The Dragons then got the ball back on a steal, but a contested drive by Hayward came up short and Woodland was forced to foul, sending Nick Foley to the line with 7.3 seconds to go.
Foley missed the front end of a 1-and-1, giving Woodland one final chance.
Hayward came up with the loose-ball rebound and quickly dribbled down court before spotting Gardner alone for an open try from deep in the right corner with time running down.
“I don’t know if I’ll ever forgive myself for missing that last free throw,” Foley said. “When they had that open look my heart stopped. I was under the basket and from my spot it looked like it was going in. It looked good, but I can be thankful. It seemed like it took an eternity for it to get there.”
The 6-foot-4 Boone finished with game-high totals of 15 points and eight rebounds for Greenville while Bjork added 12 points on four 3-pointers — including two in a row after Woodland twice pulled within two points midway through the third quarter.
“Our game plan was to try to take Foley away but Bjork stepped up and made a couple of huge threes at the right time when we were making little runs, and Boone down low gave us problems because he’s so big and athletic for a big,” said Maloney.
Hayward, who missed much of the first half with foul trouble, finished with 13 points and five assists while Justin Worden, Woodland’s lone senior starter, had 10 points and seven rebounds.
“We had two chances at the end, one nice drive to the rim that didn’t fall and then that last shot,” said Maloney. “You just look to penetrate middle and if they come you kick it out and hope for the best. It didn’t fall this time, and hopefully for that junior group it will make them work harder to try and get back here next year.”
For Greenville, that next year is now.
“Before the game some members of the 1954 team, the last team from Greenville to win a state championship, gave us a talk about how it’s going to be something that we’re going to remember for the rest of our lives, and it’s just that,” Nick Foley said. “This means so much to ourselves and the community. It’s something to be proud of together.”

Fire Safety in the Workplace for Small Businesses
Safety in the workplace should always be a high priority for all businesses no matter their size to ensure a safe working environment for all.
Failure to do so can give your employees the wrong message as it reflects to them that their well-being while at work is not always being considered and in some cases even have catastrophic effects in the event of an office fire.
Five tips on implementing fire safety in the work place within small businesses:
1. Appoint and train a Fire Marshal
For small business with less than 20 employees it is essential that a minimum of one person in your business is fire safety trained. This individual should be well trusted and present on the premise most of the time during working hours.
Nottinghamshire Fire & Rescue Service (Trading) Ltd offer employee training to educate this individual further in this area. Once trained the individual should be appointed the fire marshal for your business.
2. Educate all employees
After being trained the fire marshal should be given time with all employees to educate them about the correct procedures to follow in the event of a fire. Employees should also be trained to spot potential fire hazards and who they need to report these potential hazards too.
3. Have all required fire safety equipment in place
Fire alarms should be fitted throughout the building and tested by the appointed fire marshal on a regular basis. In order to prevent fires from spreading further fire doors should be fitted throughout the building. However, fire doors in the work place can prevent proper ventilation and be quite hazardous as employees may get fingers trapped in them as they close automatically.
To overcome this, issue Dorgards’ fitted throughout will allow doors to be open but in the event of a fire alarm sounding will automatically close. Fire extinguishers should also be fitted throughout but as different varieties of extinguishers are designed to tackle different types of fires, a professional should be consulted to ensure the correct types of extinguishers are fitted.
4. Carry out regular checks
The fire marshal should check all fire related equipment such as fire alarms, fire extinguishers and Dorgards’ on a regular basis, preferably weekly. During these checks, potential fire hazards noticed should be raised and the correct actions to fix these hazards implemented.
5. Display safety signage throughout business premises
Throughout your premises signage relating to fire safety and procedures in the event of a fire should be displayed. For best practice:
- Fire extinguishers should have clear signs located near them with instructions on how to use in the event of a fire
- Fire exits from the building clearly mark with a ‘fire exit’ which will glow in the dark to not prohibit visibility in poor light
- Any fire doors not fitted with a system that closes when a fire alarm sounds should have a ‘Fire door keep shut’ sign attached to them
- Assembly points clearly marked away from the building
- Any fire alarms that can be sounded by an individual in the event of the fire clearly marked
- Finally one or more signs should be displayed in a prominently, outlining the correct procedure to follow in the event of a fire. A map of the premise should also be included underneath this sign clearly showing where all the fire safety related equipment mentioned above is located

Turns out Lindsay Lohan will indeed be getting out of the UCLA Neuropsychiatric Hospital ... as early as this week, according to sources familiar with the situation.
Our sources say Lindsay's doctors have not written their final report, but they have already concluded her psychiatric problems are not nearly as severe as first thought. We've been told there were indications Lindsay was bipolar but that proved not to be the case.
In addition, the doctors do not believe the drug dependency issues are as severe as first thought. As we reported, Lindsay had big issues with Adderall, but the docs don't think it requires much more inpatient care.
Bottom line ... sources say it's "very possible" Lindsay is getting out this week and will begin getting outpatient care.
One obstacle -- the judge must approve early release. We're told once the doctors write their final report, Lindsay's lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, can go back into court and ask the judge to spring her client from her 90-day rehab sentence.
If the medical professionals think releasing her is a good idea, the judge will almost certainly go along with it.

Dr. Reedy is an amazing surgeon!
Notes from Our Patients
Berks Plastic Surgery Patient Testimonials

Dr. Reedy and all of his staff are so helpful, knowledgeable, and patient. My experience was better than I could have expected with his staff. They made me feel like I was the only patient they had. Dr. Reedy is an amazing surgeon! After the procedure I was expecting to be in a lot of pain, and I experienced no pain – just a little bit of tightness for 2-3 days.
If I get any procedures done in the future, I will definitely go to Dr. Reedy. I can’t express how wonderful Dr. Reedy is as a surgeon. This was a scary process for me with all of the “unknowns,” and Dr. Reedy and his staff exceeded all of my expectations. | <urn:uuid:c7c3c808-008f-4b95-baef-7cbcbde6ff95> | CC-MAIN-2022-27 | https://www.berksplasticsurgery.com/blog/patient-testimonial-survey/ | 2022-06-26T11:18:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-27/segments/1656103205617.12/warc/CC-MAIN-20220626101442-20220626131442-00585.warc.gz | en | 0.979587 | 185 |
Etelos Aims for Fast, Good and Cheap
Yet as technology improves, the product received for a given investment of time and money does get better. Today, even low-end software can build Web pages that are as attractive as anyone might reasonably want. The challenge, at least for marketers, is personalization based on customer data.
Etelos Communication Platform (Etelos Systems, 877/665-4609, www.etelos.com) tries to greatly reduce the cost of sophisticated Web personalization. The system is a work in progress: It currently offers a rich set of capabilities but requires a relatively skilled user to implement advanced functions.
This is changing as the vendor makes more functions available to non-technical users through a graphical user interface. And even the existing system lets developers create advanced Web pages more easily than conventional programming methods. Being HTML documents, these Web pages can be used in a Web site, electronic or printed newsletter, e-mail message or other applications.
In more concrete terms, Etelos provides tight integration between Web pages and highly flexible customer and content databases. As sophisticated database management is essential to effective personalization, Etelos' strength in this area is critical. Most other products either limit users to simplistic predefined data structures or provide no integrated database at all.
Etelos has two main types of databases: contacts and content. For each, users can view, add and remove database fields through a simple tree view. The vendor provides prebuilt structures for contact records, newsletters, Web pages, surveys, articles, e-mail messages and other common entities. Users easily can extend these structures or connect them to detail tables such as transaction and contact histories.
The underlying Web pages typically would be built outside of Etelos in a standard Web authoring tool like Microsoft FrontPage or Macromedia Dreamweaver. Users copy pages from those tools into the Etelos development environment, then embed code in the Etelos scripting language. This connects the page with the Etelos databases for tasks such as validating users, searching for keywords, selecting items from a list, displaying content, adding records and updating data.
Other Etelos functions execute non-database tasks such as sending e-mail messages. Writing Etelos scripts is much easier than creating the same functions in a standard programming language like C or Java. But it still takes a well-trained user. Etelos makes things a little easier for developers by providing prebuilt script strings for common tasks, accessible through pop-up menus.
Fortunately for the rest of us, Etelos also created several prebuilt applications that let utterly non-technical users perform sophisticated tasks solely through filling out forms. Existing applications can add articles to a Web database, create personalized newsletters, run e-mail campaigns and build interactive survey forms.
The survey capabilities are particularly impressive. Users can create structured or unstructured questions, have the system generate messages when a survey is completed, issue alerts when customers give particular answers and import survey answers directly to the contact database. The system can summarize survey results with Web-based reports or extract the results for further analysis.
Users can send surveys or newsletters to individual contacts, to contacts sharing a specified set of characteristics or to members of preexisting groups. Group membership typically is recorded as a flag on the contact record. Transmission can be immediate, on a specified date or on a recurring schedule such as monthly. Multi-step campaigns can send a series of messages at predefined intervals.
Newsletters can be personalized by assigning different articles to different contact groups. Articles also can be filtered based on expiration dates and on membership in multiple groups. The system can prioritize articles to ensure each contact gets the most relevant messages, but this usually takes some custom development. Newsletters also can include forms to send opt-out messages, update recipient profiles or forwad the newsletter to another recipient.
Etelos also developed a Web-based sales automation system similar to a Salesforce.com or Salesnet. It provides a reasonably complete set of functions, including a customizable home page for each user, user-maintained contact lists, appointment scheduling, call history, task management and personalized e-mail.
Sales management can track multiple sales opportunities per contact, associate multiple sales reps with the same opportunity and consolidate sales forecasts at divisional and corporate levels. The enterprise version of the system also supports threaded discussions among team members. Since all Etelos applications share the same database, sales automation is tightly integrated with the Etelos e-mail, newsletter and survey applications.
Users can access Etelos forms with only a Web browser, but the development environment is a piece of installed software that runs on a Windows, Unix or Linux workstation. The Etelos application itself runs on Linux servers, either hosted by Etelos or on a hardware appliance provided by the company. The current version of the system uses the PostgreSQL relational database, which the developer found was more powerful and economical than the common alternatives.
Data typically are loaded through batch file imports or e-mail posts, though one client implemented real-time updates via SOAP. End-user interactions with the system are also transported through XML, so they could be integrated with external applications if desired. The largest databases on the system manage up to 500,000 contacts, though most installations involve 2,000 to 20,000.
So much for fast and good. What about cheap? Pricing for a single-user hosted system is $100 for setup and $50 per month. Corporate Web hosting starts at $275 monthly. A single-server hardware appliance costs $12,500. Most implementations involve additional cost for custom development by Etelos or a reseller.
The system was introduced in 2001 and has about 200 clients with many thousands of individual users. Most are individual sales reps belonging to large organizations. | <urn:uuid:3c806602-9cf8-484c-a2db-2e56197074b5> | CC-MAIN-2015-11 | http://www.dmnews.com/etelos-aims-for-fast-good-and-cheap/article/84009/ | 2015-02-28T16:16:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-11/segments/1424936461995.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20150226074101-00060-ip-10-28-5-156.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.904594 | 1,204 |
The number of attacks against US soldiers has fallen to levels not seen since before the February 2006 bombing of a Shia shrine in Samarra, which touched off waves of sectarian killing, according to US military statistics. In October, 39 soldiers died, the lowest level since March 2006. Unofficial Health Ministry figures suggest civilian deaths across Iraq rose last month compared with September, but the US military claimed that civilian deaths fell from about 2,800 in January to about 800 in October.
'This trend represents the longest continuous decline in attacks on record and illustrates how our operations have improved security since the surge was emplaced,' Lieutenant General Raymond Odierno, the commander of day-to-day military operations in Iraq, said. The momentum, he added, was 'positive' but 'not yet irreversible'.
But Iraq defies sweeping statements about safety or danger. In part, some credit the reduction to the six-month 'freeze' announced by the radical Shia cleric Moqtada al-Sadr on the activities of his Mahdi Army militia.
Both Iraqis and coalition soldiers are wrestling with a basic question: is the declining violence a lull in the war or the beginning of a long road to peace?
'My feeling is that this decrease in the violence is temporary,' said Saleh al-Mutlak, who leads the Iraqi Front for National Dialogue political party. 'The US cannot maintain this number of troops in the areas where they are in. And if they do so, there will be no normal life in these areas.'
Abdul Amir Jumaa, a Baghdad shopkeeper, now feels safe enough to travel to wholesalers for crates of lemon soda and cartons of cigarettes, but not to send his daughter back to school, and confident enough to drive his new Peugeot through his own Karrada neighbourhood, but not in the Sunni districts across the Tigris river. His family watches satellite television at home because they are still afraid to venture out to parks or restaurants.
'The people used to talk all about "security is bad, security is bad", but in the past month, everywhere we go, everyone is talking about how things are improving,' he said. 'Before the war, it was still much better than now. It has not got to that level yet.'
In many areas of Iraq, fewer corpses are turning up on the streets. And Baghdad sounds quieter than last year: there are fewer deep, resonating explosions from car bombs, and the once-constant clatter of gunfire has become sporadic.
In Baghdad's Amiriya district, where 14 US soldiers were killed in May alone, there has not been a roadside bomb explosion since 7 August, said Lieutenant Colonel Dale Kuehl, battalion commander in the area. The last mortar or rocket attack was in July. 'Al-Qaeda overplayed their hand in Amiriya and the locals rose up against them,' said Kuehl. 'I have eaten dinner in several homes and even went to a wedding. None of this would have been feasible six months ago.'
He added: 'I hesitate to say we have turned a corner. Insurgencies tend to be fairly resilient and can come back if the underlying causes of the insurgency are not addressed in the political realm.'
Soldiers last winter counted an average of 275 murders a week in northwestern Baghdad; now it's 10 to 15, said Lieutenant Colonel Steven Miska. 'The overall trend is very heartening, but I would definitely shy away from trying to attribute it to one particular thing,' he said. 'There are a lot of factors that play into why we have this relative calm.'
Some say President Bush's decision to send in 30,000 extra soldiers, and the troops' move from sprawling bases to small outposts, has played a role. Others argue that it stemmed mostly from the decision by other Sunni insurgent groups to embrace a partnership with US soldiers and abandon al-Qaeda.
In Diyala province there has been an 'absolutely dramatic decrease of violent acts' since US reinforcements arrived and made an aggressive effort to partner with these resident volunteers, according to US commander Col David Sutherland. 'We're seeing new businesses open every day; the children are back in school,' he said.
But large parts of southern Baghdad remain a battleground where soldiers, Shia militias and al-Qaeda fighters clash. Attacks often pass with little attention outside the neighbourhood in which they occur. Formerly mixed Sunni-Shia areas have become largely the domain of one sect, since millions of Iraqis have fled. 'It's much harder to conduct sectarian cleansing if you've got a homogeneous neighbourhood which has a local volunteer security force which is on the lookout for those people,' Miska said.
Outside Baghdad, many Iraqis live in walled-off neighbourhoods. Basim Hamdi, 32, a Shia merchant from Balad, about 50 miles north of Baghdad, said: 'The security situation in Balad is so bad compared with last year. No one from here can go outside the city except for emergencies, and no Sunni can get in.'
'Violence has not been reduced. This year was the bloodiest for all of the people in Kirkuk,' said Hewa Fatih Abdullah al-Shwani, a Kurdish businessman. He used to travel south to Baghdad and Basra to coordinate cement shipments, but now deals exclusively with Kurdish colleagues or arranges for his merchandise to come from Iran and Turkey.
'I do not see any improvement, because terrorists keep changing their plans,' he said. 'When you arrest a thousand, you will find another thousand more because of unemployment, mistakes, chaos and the weakness of the government.'

The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) said that it has completed about a third of its target 10,000 boats for fishing families affected by Super Typhoon Yolanda.
BFAR Executive Director Asis Perez said that some 6,308 fishing boats have been constructed since the launching of the agency’s boat building initiative “Ahon! Sampung Libong Bangka para sa Dalawampung Libong Pamilya.”
“We are very pleased to see the progress of Ahon! as it continues to reach more and more fisher folk in typhoon-hit fishing villages of the country,” Perez said.
The BFAR chief said that the current total number of fishing boats built and/or repaired under the Ahon! would benefit some 12,616 families in Regions 6, 7 and 8.
At least 22 municipalities had been reached out in Region 8 while 11 in Region 6. In Region 7, 14 coastal municipalities are target beneficiaries, he added.
In the Eastern Visayas, assistance to rebuild the damaged boats of fisher folk was given in the form of materials for repair and construction such as plywood, nails and marine adhesives.
“Once construction and repair is completed, fisher folk beneficiaries can expect the awarding of motor engine and fishing gears,” he said.
Since December last year, 10 teams were deployed in Leyte and Samar provinces to conduct actual boat damage assessment simultaneous with the delivery of the required boat-building materials to the affected fisher folk, whose counterpart is the labor for the repair of their own boats.
Still part of the strategy to speed up the rehabilitation of municipal fisher folk, BFAR has set up a boat building site in Bogo City, Northern Cebu.
Meanwhile, contributions and pledges from the private sector continue to pour in. At present, cash donations has reached P2.7 million, while in-kind contributions amounted to P39,000 plus 30 units of fishing boats.
On February 1 and 2, two of Ahon!’s partners from the private sector, Charoen Pokphand or C. P. Foods and Federico Sevilla Jr., will personally turnover a total of 213 sponsored fishing boats to the fisher folk beneficiaries in Samar province, specifically in Guiuan and Basey.
To recall, thousands of boats and fishing equipment were lost to Yolanda.
To jumpstart the Ahon! initiative, BFAR has earmarked some P50 million, of which the bulk will be used to build the bancas (motorized boats) and the construction of 350 units of shallow-water payao (fish catching platform). | <urn:uuid:83b43737-2e46-4cdf-a1b5-80edd1032a98> | CC-MAIN-2017-34 | http://www.manilatimes.net/govt-finishes-6300-boats-for-fishers-affected-by-yolanda/72229/ | 2017-08-23T13:56:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-34/segments/1502886120573.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20170823132736-20170823152736-00255.warc.gz | en | 0.953777 | 548 |

Semiotic consciousness became well articulated in the middle ages, due largely to the writing of Roger Bacon (1214-1293). In his extensive tract, De Signis (c. 1267), Bacon distinguished natural signs (i.e. smoke signifies fire) from those involving human communication (both verbal and non-verbal signs). Bacon introduced a triadic semiotic model that describes the relationship between a sign, its object of reference, and the human interpreter. This triad remains a fundamental concept within the modern study semiotics. John Poinsot (John of St. Thomas, 1589-1644) elaborated on the triad, laying down a fundamental science of signs in his Tractatus de Signis, (1632). Poinsot observed that signs are relative beings whose existence consists solely in presenting to human awareness that which they themselves are not. It was the British philosopher John Locke (1632-1704) who finally bestowed a name on the study of signs. In his Essay Concerning Human Understanding (1690) Locke declared that the "semiotike doctrine of signs" should be one of the three major branches of science along with natural philosophy and practical ethics (Locke, 1690: XXI).
Saussure laid the foundation for the structuralist school in linguistics and social theory. A structuralist looks at the units of a system and the rules of logic that are applied to the system, without regard to any specific content. The units of human language are comprised of a limited set of sounds called phonemes, and these comprise an unlimited set of words and sentences, which are put together according to a set of simple rules called grammar. From simple units we derive more complex units that are applied to new rules to form more complex structures (themes, characters, stories, genres, style, etc.). The human mind organizes this structure into cognitive understanding.
The smallest unit of analysis in Saussure's semiology is the sign made up of a signifier or sensory pattern, and a signified, the concept that is elicited in the mind by the signifier. Saussure emphasized that the signifier does not constitute a sign until it is interpreted. Like Plato, Saussure recognized the arbitrary association between a word and what it stands for. Word selection becomes a matter, not of identity, but of difference. Differences carry signification. A sign is what all other signs are not (Saussure, 1916/1959: 118).
Charles Sanders Peirce shared the Saussurian observation that most signs are symbolic and arbitrary, but he called attention to iconic signs that physically resemble their referent and indexical signs that possess a logical connection to their referent (Peirce, 1898/1955:98-104). To Peirce, the relationship of the sign to the object is made in the mind of the interpreter as a mental tool which Peirce called the interpretant. As Peirce describes it, semiosis (the process of sign interpretation) is an iterative process involving multiple inferences. The signifier elicits in the mind an interpretant which is not the final signified object, but a mediating thought that promotes understanding. In other words, a thought is a sign requiring interpretation by a subsequent thought in order to achieve meaning. This mediating thought might be a schema, a mental model, or a recollection of prior experience that enables the subject to move forward toward understanding. The interpretant itself becomes a sign that can elicit yet another interpretant, leading the way toward an infinite series of unlimited semioses (Eco, 1979:193). By this analysis, Peirce shifts the focus of semiotics from a relational view of signs and the objects they represent to an understanding of semiosis as an iterative, mediational process.
Charles Morris (1901-1979) was a semiotician who adapted Peirce's work to a form of behaviorism derived from the influence of his teacher, George Herbert Mead (1863-1931). For Morris, semiotics involves goal-seeking behavior in which signs exercise control, (Morris, 1971:85). Morris identified four aspects within the process of semiosis: (1) the sign vehicle which orients a person toward a goal, (2) the interpreter, or the subject of the semiotic activity, (3) the designatium, or the object to which the sign refers, and (4) the interpretant, which is the cognitive reaction elicited in the mind of the interpreter (Morris, 1971: 19,38). Morris attempted to subdivide the field of semiotics into three subfields. Semantics studies the affiliations between the world of signs and the world of things. Syntactics observes how signs relate to other signs. Pragmatics explains the effects of signs on human behavior (Morris, 1971: 23).
Voloshinov argued that all utterances have an inherently dialogic character. According to Voloshinov, dialog is the fundamental feature of speech. In his view, signs have no independent existence outside of social practice. Signs are seen as components of human activity, and it is within human activity that signs take on their form and meaning (Voloshinov, 1929/1986: 25).
Another Russian, Lev Semenovich Vygotsky (1896-1934), applied the instrumental notion of semiotics toward cognition and learning (the relationship suggested much earlier by Augustine and Aristotle). Vygotsky identified the pivotal role of language during the exercise of complex mental functions. In Mind and Society (1930/1978) Vygotsky observes how planning abilities in children are developed through linguistic mediation of action. The child "plans how to solve the problem through speech and then carries out the prepared solution through overt activity" (Vygotsky, 1978:28). He observed the similarity between physical tools and verbal artifacts as instruments of human activity. From his extensive and detailed observations of child development, Vygotsky concluded that higher-order thinking transpires by means of what he called "inner speech", the internalized use of linguistic signs (Vygotsky, 1986:94).
Barthes was critical of journalistic excesses that justified the French Algerian War. Skillfully, he deconstructs French journalism rendered by writers who have perfected the art of taking sides while disguising behind airs of neutrality, claiming to express the voice of common sense. Barthes observes that the myth is more understandable and more believable than the story that it supplants because the myth introduces self-evident truths that conform to the dominant historical and cultural position. This naturalization lends power to such myths. They go without saying. They need no further explanation or demystification (Barthes, 1972: 130). American journalism is no less rich with its own mythical contributions to history. From the Alamo (1835-6), to the sinking of the Main (1898), to the sinking of the Lucitania (1917), to the Gulf of Tonkin incident (1964), to Iraqi aluminum tubes (2003): in each case, the respective signifier was stripped of its own history and replaced with a more natural and believable narrative. These particular examples underscore the ethical implications of mythologies since each was specifically instrumental in recruiting popular support behind an offensive war by making it appear to be a defensive war.
Mythologies are not limited to the realms of journalism, advertising, and the cinema, but they find their way into all aspects of modern society. Science is no exception. Science educator, Jay Lemke, speaks of a special mystique of science, a set of harmful myths that favor the interests of a small elite, (Lemke 1990: 129). Lemke believes that airs of objectivity and certainty in science discourse lend themselves to an authoritarian culture that serves to undermine student confidence. He describes linguistic practices that place artificial barriers between the pedagogy of science and common experience. He asserts that a belief in the objectivity and certainty of science is very useful to anyone in power who wants to use science as a justification for imposing the policy decisions they favor. "Science is presented as authoritative, and from there it is a small step to its becoming authoritarian," (Lemke, 1990:31). George Lakoff and Mark Johnson (1980) describe a myth of objectivism in science writing that portrays a world of objects possessing inherent properties and fixed relations that are entirely independent of human experience. Objectivist writing emerged in the seventeenth century, and today, it assumes the dominant position in modern discourses of science, law, government, business, and scholarship. Postmodern critics point to objectivism's failure to account for our thoughts, our experience, and our language, which is largely metaphorical. Metaphors are pervasive and generally unrecognized within a culture of positivism. Highlighting the use of metaphors is a useful key to identifying whose realities are actually privileged in academic writing (Chandler, 2002:26).
Barthes's role as France's supreme social critic has fallen to a contemporary French writer, Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929). The cultural theorist argues that postmodern culture with its rich, exotic media is a world of signs that have made a fundamental break from reality. Our contemporary mass culture experiences a world of simulation having lost the capacity to comprehend an unmediated world. Baudrillard coined the term simulacra to describe a system of objects in a consumer society distinguished by the existence of multiple copies with no original. We experience manufactured realities: carefully edited war footage, meaningless acts of terrorism, and the destruction of cultural values (Baudrillard, 1988:166).
In an age of corporate consolidation where popular culture is influenced by an elite few with very powerful voices, semiotic analysis is deemed essential for information consumers. Semiotics informs us about a text, its underlying assumptions and its various dimensions of interpretation. Semiotics offers us a lens into human communication. It sharpens the consumer's own consciousness surrounding a given text. It informs us about the cultural structures and human motivations that underlie perceptual representations. It rejects the possibility that we can represent the world in a neutral fashion. It unmasks the deep-seated rhetorical forms and underlying codes that fundamentally shape our realities. Semiotic analysis is a critical skill for media literacy in a postmodern world.

Al-Takeyya: I’d never heard about it until I heard it mentioned last night. It’s an intriguing concept that includes the provision to lie if it is in your own, or Islam’s best interest.
The biggest lie currently on the agenda? “Islam is a religion of peace”. As an example, following the September 11 2001 Terrorist attacks, The Chairman of Saudi Arabia’s Supreme Judicial Council made a statement. The statement included the following:
“[Islam] forbids killing of civilians even during times of war”
“Muslims have to deal in good faith with those who live beside them in all societies, since Islam does not discriminate between humans: for they are all brothers.”
Now, it’s possible we’re reading a different Koran, but I thought that Surah 9.5 was pretty clear: “fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, an seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war); but if they repent, and establish regular prayers and practise regular charity, then open the way for them: for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.” Kill or convert pagans, none of this “brothers” business.
I really want to give Muslim people the benefit of the doubt. Maybe some of them truly do believe that Islam is a religion of peace. Maybe some of them aren’t setting out to purposefully lie for their own gain and benefit. Maybe. But the truth is, Muslims are liars. | <urn:uuid:8afba22d-2829-471d-aa22-8edc88638db1> | CC-MAIN-2017-51 | http://davidblowes.com/category/general/reflections/ | 2017-12-13T20:20:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-51/segments/1512948530841.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20171213201654-20171213221654-00294.warc.gz | en | 0.947512 | 339 |

Journal of Religious Ethics 24 (2):377 - 402 (1996)
|Abstract||Tsong kha pa's Stages of the Path to Enlightenment (Lam rim chen mo), completed in 1402, set the agenda in regard to the nature of and role for morality, meditation, and a correct understanding of ultimate reality for many Tibetan Buddhist thinkers and practitioners. The arguments move from reliance on scriptural authority to reliance on personal investigation, in the beginning by logic, but in the end by meditative insight. However, the model of the ascetic monastic remains basic, providing little justification for claims by some modern apologists that Tibetan Buddhism relegates monasticism to the background. While it is undeniable that Tibetan civilization embraces a number of visions of Buddhism and thus a number of Buddhist lifestyles and moral points of view, Tsong kha pa attempts in the Stages of the Path to show that monastic and bodhisattva viewpoints need not be at odds.|

I first heard about Rick Paul from Kelly Anchors, who directed Bipolar Beauty. Rick Paul designed the set, which was an ornate and fantastical addition to show.
Rick Paul has been a set designer since 1951 and started working in Chicago theatres in the late ‘60s. Besides being a veteran theatre set designer and dabbling in movies, he founded the first gay theatre company, the Lionheart Gay Theatre company, that was inducted into the Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame in 1994.I spoke with Rick Paul on the phone about his career and his set design process.
Paul was introduced to theatre through his older brother who started acting in school plays. He was immediately drawn to the mysterious experience of being backstage, Paul describes the sets as a delightful escape.
“[it was]fantastical… they had blacklight,” Paul said.”One was a subterranean cave with stalagmites, the other one was a desert island, or a tropical island. When I did the play it was a barnyard, nothing imaginative.”
Paul’s love of art and difficulting remembering lines led him to start designing sets in the 4th grade.
Paul dabbled in different educational institutions, starting at Northern Illinois and transferring to Goodman Theatre when it was at the Art Institute for two years, as well as the London School of Film. Through the At the age of 22, Paul was making a living entirely from set designing. Paul met June Pyskacek, the founder Kingston Mines theatre and also started working for Stuart Gordan at the Organic Theatre. As he puts it, it was all about the right timing, as Paul started working at the start of the Chicago theatre boom.
“After the beginning of the Off-Loop theatre movement, when I started there were 5 theaters and then after a few years there were 40, and now there are over 100 companies,” Paul said.
Although Paul designed sets all over the world, he kept getting pulled back to Chicago.
“Whenever work would dry up in another city I would just come back to Chicago and find a job the next day,” Paul said. “And then eventually I just felt like I should just be here.”
Paul describes the progression of his career as being at the “right place and right time.”
“And even the times where I was ready to retire and quit,” Paul said. “someone would say, ‘Oh well there’s a little theatre up in Glencoe and they don’t have a designer’ and it turned out to be Writers Theatre which is now one of the best theaters in America. I just kept going where people wanted me to and they turned out to be these big things.”
One of Paul’s notable works was at Ivanhoe, where he worked for George Keithly.
“[Keithly] didn’t know me from Adam but he just took a chance,” Paul said. “He was a good friend of Tennessee Williams so I got to work with Williams on a play called Outcry; it got worldwide attention. It was such a great experience. I think I was 22 then. He was the most famous playwright from the generation before mine. With June Pyskacek, she was working with Sam Shepherd and Maria Irene Ernez, and at the organic that’s where David Mamet started. I had the best of the 1940’s and 50’s and the 60’s and 70’s and 80’s. I just happened to be at the right place at the right time.”
Four of his designs from 1969 to 1977 are archived at the Chicago Public Library, which I was able to view. His work is ornate and vivid; the set for American Hurrah has a brilliantly colorful leafy garden with purple figurines with old-fashioned furniture and a grandfather clock on the periphery (unfortunately, the Chicago Public Library does not allow the images to be published). Paul starts his process by reading the script, meeting the director, and if it’s a living playwright, meeting with the playwright.,
“You get their input and then you try and get a hook, you try and find something visual, assuming it isn’t a box set, realistic apartment or house where you just kinda figure out where the characters would be — what their income level is. When you’re doing a musical it can be much more fantastic,” Paul said.
This has to be combined with the practical constraints of the physical limitations and quirks of the theatre as well as the budget of the play. Paul usually builds a cardboard set to scale after his initial sketches.
Set designing is always about being on the same page with the directors, actors, and the whole crew, including the lighting and costume designers.. One of his favorite directors to work with was Sturat Gordan, who had a very
“The shows were organic because they were never completed until closing night. Two weeks before the show ended, he would come up with a new scene to do, and you’re thinking, there’s no budget, and i don’t have any helpers,” Paul said. “And he’ll say, “well I’ll help you’. And he would. He would get his hands dirty and get on the cardboard. And you’d go, okay it’s his theatre, it’s his show, you can’t say no. He’s willing to help and figure out how to do it. Two weeks before the end of the show, something radical might change, so you always felt like you were always contributing to the show.”
In 1979, Paul started the Lionheart Gay Theatre Company as a response to the generic gay plays that he was seeing in commercial theatre.
“I started it because I was bored with commercial theatre,” Paul said. “And the gay plays, the gay and lesbian plays at the time were pretty conventional and we wanted to do wild stuff and we knew that we would end when the commercial theaters started doing gay plays on a scheduled time. So we kinda felt we were pioneers.”
Lionheart would stage their productions at various theatres that owed Paul money, so that they didn’t have to pay rent. The proceeds of the play would go to various gay and lesbian organizations around Chicago.
Paul describes those plays as crazy, experimental plays that were not issue plays “not coming out plays, or lesbian child custody battle plays.” Their philosphy was, “Why can’t we just tell a good story that has gay people in it?”
One of their most popular plays was One by Jeff Hagador, which was the first play about the AIDS crisis. Although they had done two plays about the AIDS crisis before, it had not yet been given an official name. After debuting at the Organic Theatre, they took it the World’s Fair in New Orleans and staged it at a festival in Edinburgh.The play got national attention: it was featured in Time Magazine, reviewed by Richard Christiansen, and featured on the BBC.
Paul continues to get pulled into various projects.
“Every time I think I’ll retire, someone else offers another play for me to work on,” Paul said.
Paul’s upcoming projects include an upcoming show at the Rhinofest as well as shooting a movie.
Rick Paul’s work can be seen in Chicago theatre. Rick Paul has no social media presence.

Hamble cycling queen Dani King begins her quest for Olympic gold today.
The 21-year-old, right, will ride into the velodrome this afternoon for the qualification round of the women’s team pursuit.
The lightning-fast British squad are favourites for the event, having won the last two world championships.
They have also broken the world record twice already this year.
But they will face stiff competition, particularly from the rapid Australian team.
King and Co are expected to breeze through today’s qualifying, before the real action takes place in the semi-finals and final tomorrow afternoon.
Britain will select three cyclists from former Barton Peveril student King, Joanna Rowsell, Laura Trott and Wendy Houvenaghel for each ride.
With the recent dominance of King, Rowsell and Trott, Houvenaghel is expected to be the one left out.
Trott is prioritising team pursuit success over individual glory at London 2012.
The 20-year-old from Cheshunt won team pursuit gold, in a world record time with King and Rowsell, and omnium gold at April’s Track Cycling World Championships in Melbourne.
“I really enjoy the omnium but my main target is to race with the girls and win with the girls,” said Trott, whose first world team pursuit title came aged 18 in 2011.
“It is more enjoyable to race and win with other people than on your own so that is the main focus.
“It is boring to win as an individual, who can you celebrate with when you win on your own? You can’t pat yourself on the back.” | <urn:uuid:864c1217-8335-4a12-a967-6dbc84b87262> | CC-MAIN-2015-11 | http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/olympics/news/9853969.Dani_begins_pursuit_of_gold/ | 2015-02-26T23:16:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-11/segments/1424936459277.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20150226074059-00079-ip-10-28-5-156.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.944589 | 349 |

Crow’s Breath is John Kinsella’s fine new collection of twenty-seven short, intense stories. It’s centred around the wheatbelt of Western Australia, with forays west to Fremantle, south to Pemberton and north to Carnavon. In about the middle, a character travels to London in “Statue” and the stories after this move with expatriates to Ireland and the USA as well. A common thread is the exploration of Australianness, the different ways of Australians living in this country and out of it. Kinsella shows an ability to inhabit a rich diversity of Australian characters.
From a literary perspective, the collection excels within the conventions Kinsella subverts in other prose works – offering the same kind of contrast and pleasure as reading Joyce’s Dubliners after Ulysses. These are well-crafted short stories, full of the pleasures the best short stories offer – twists, moments, epiphanies. They inhabit a wide range of modes, most commonly the gothic and realist. They are united in their concise intensity.
It’s hard to pick highlights in this collection as it’s uniformly strong. I offer a few of my favourites to give some sense of its breadth and the themes explored.
- The title story, “Crow’s Breath”, starts starkly with “The town was dead from salt”, and chronicles that deadness in all its menace. It has the same mood as the brilliant but disturbing film The Rover, but this is a localised apocalypse.
- “Sleeper” places an inventor whose career has been driven by his insomnia in an Indian-Pacific sleeper-carriage across the Nullarbor. It’s a powerful juxtaposition and surreally beautiful.
- “Monitor” condenses a novel worth of plot into a few pages in a confrontation between Mary, a cloistered old woman from a Patrick White universe, and a boy whose father wants her land. Mary is haunted by the memory of her Aboriginal lover, Dan, and the story reveals his fate.
- “Shine Your Light on Me” captures a teenage boy’s worldview perfectly. He’s in love with a posh girl and caught up in the exquisitely rendered violence of a fox hunt. There’s a snatch of conversation that could have been from my own teenage years: “Aw Dad, I wanna watch Terminator on GWN tonight! / Tape it. / Yeah, but it’s not the same.” (Golden West Network – in the nineties in country WA, it was the only commercial TV station; must be one of the few times it’s seen print in a work of fiction.)
This is a book which deserves a wide audience. There is a short-story renaissance in the air – Murray Middleton’s collection even won the Vogel Award this year – and Crow’s Breath is part of it. | <urn:uuid:53469bc0-0700-4d71-a681-e668f3f3c35c> | CC-MAIN-2021-31 | https://nathanhobby.com/2015/06/07/crows-breath-john-kinsella/ | 2021-08-04T19:07:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-31/segments/1627046154897.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20210804174229-20210804204229-00652.warc.gz | en | 0.947392 | 634 |
A Sarah Steele Thriller
You like covers? How bout them there cover!
The first book in this series is BREAKING STEELE. Elle Ann and I teamed up on this series because we wanted to write fast paced novels in a TV series style. Much like CSI or Bones where you get to know all the cast as the season goes along yet each one is its own new story.
So if you want to try something a little different--Not like I can do anything normal--try out any of the Sarah Steele books.
And now the cover for book #3:
Coming this winter.

The "West Center" (or WC3D2, for short) is focused on the application of computational methods to chemical and biological problems, as well as on the development of more powerful computational tools to improve the ability of these methods to produce real world answers.
The Shape Signatures database allows an investigator to identify molecules in the ZINC database of available compounds that are shape-similar to a molecule used as a query.
Shape signatures is a novel technique for computer-aided drug design developed over the last few years by USP associate professor of biochemistry Randy Zauhar and collaborators. It is a system for compactly representing the shape of drug molecules and the protein receptor sites they target. It was recognized by Emil Fischer in the nineteenth century that the molecules central to the processes of life must recognize each other by a mechanism similar to a key fitting into a lock, and we now recognize that his “lock and key hypothesis” is as central to understanding the mechanics of life as Darwin’s ideas are to understanding evolution and development. The central idea is complementarity, that bioactive molecules (including metabolites, hormones, and drugs) fit into protein receptors that provide a pocket of the right size and shape to accommodate the small molecule, much like a three-dimensional puzzle. This suggests two routes to identifying new drugs—find molecules similar in shape to a known active or complementary in shape to a known receptor. The shape signatures approach works with either of the two routes just mentioned. The method uses a technique much like ray-tracing to explore the shape of a drug molecule or, alternatively, the shape of a protein receptor pocket. Compact descriptors of shape are generated from the ray-trace, and they can be easily and quickly compared, leading to the capability of rapidly scanning very large chemical libraries for candidate drug molecules. | <urn:uuid:29458335-cfcb-4a3a-be46-817f28781fd2> | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | http://eagle-i.itmat.upenn.edu/sweet/provider?uri=http://eagle-i.itmat.upenn.edu/i/0000013d-4aec-ee07-ae62-bb6880000000 | 2018-10-20T11:00:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-43/segments/1539583512693.40/warc/CC-MAIN-20181020101001-20181020122501-00377.warc.gz | en | 0.951694 | 371 |
The global headquarters of General Motors is visible from one of Detroit's… (Jeff Kowalsky / Bloomberg )
NEW YORK — Detroit on Thursday became the largest American city to declare bankruptcy, officially succumbing to job losses in the auto industry, decades of population flight, and the collapse of revenue to cover everything from policing to street lighting.
"Let me be blunt: Detroit's broke," Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder said as he recited a litany of ills that helped steer the decision and that made Detroit -- once a gleaming example of American industry -- into an urban wreck with debts of $18 billion.
The announcement came four months after Snyder named Washington bankruptcy expert Kevyn Orr -- who represented Chrysler during its successful restructuring -- as Detroit's emergency financial manager to try to heave Detroit out of its fiscal morass.
Orr at the time insisted that the city could "rise from the ashes."
But the destruction proved too great. Two days ago, Orr sent a letter to the governor saying he saw no alternative to filing for Chapter 9, blaming decades of fiscal mismanagement, plummeting population, decaying infrastructure and failing services.
For The Record
Los Angeles Times Sunday, July 21, 2013 Home Edition Main News Part A Page 4 News Desk 1 inches; 43 words Type of Material: Correction
Detroit bankruptcy: An article in the July 19 Section A about the city of Detroit's declaration of bankruptcy said that General Motors and Chrysler were saved from bankruptcy by a bailout from the U.S. government. The automakers declared bankruptcy and received a bailout.
"Detroit today is a shell of the thriving metropolis that it once was," wrote Orr, a summation that few who have witnessed the city's decline could challenge.
Snyder outlined the failures Thursday: Detroit has been among the nation's 10 most violent cities for 24 of the last 27 years. Average police response time is 58 minutes, compared to a national average of 11 minutes. And when it comes to crime, only 8.7% of cases are cleared.
At its peak, Detroit was the nation's fourth-largest city, with more than 1.8 million people. Population losses began in the 1960s with migration to the suburbs, picking up after a bloody race riot in 1967. The exodus gained further momentum as the automobile manufacturing industry, once the path to the middle class for an aspiring workforce, shrank.
Now, Detroit has about 700,000 people and thousands of abandoned buildings with acres of neglected lots. Thirty-eight cents of every city dollar goes to debt repayment and unfunded liabilities, the governor said.
By 2017, Snyder said, that would jump to 65 cents per dollar.
"That's not a sustainable situation," said the governor, who called Chapter 9 "the opportunity for a fresh start," not just for Detroit but for Michigan, a state whose fortunes are tied to those of its biggest city.
"For Michigan to be a great state, Detroit needs to be a great city," he said.
Detroit's action displaced Stockton, Calif., as the largest city to go bankrupt. San Bernardino also filed bankruptcy last August.
In Detroit, city and state officials greeted the decision with despair and resignation, but also a bit of hope, with many saying it had been expected.
"The best way to solve our PR problem is to fix the damn problem," said Sandy Baruah, chief executive of the Detroit Regional Chamber, who called the bankruptcy "without a doubt" the best way forward.
For the last three years, Baruah has seen signs of life shooting up around him: His office building in downtown Detroit has gone from half-empty to full. The walk to Comerica Park, three-quarters of a mile away, is filled with new businesses, new restaurants, and new faces.
But Detroit has still been held back by its failure to capture foreign investors, scared away by the city's ills.
"The first step in solving a problem is recognizing that you have a problem, and the second step is actually doing something about it," Baruah said.
In Washington, Sen. Carl Levin (D-Mich.), a Detroit resident, noted that the city was known for its grit and resilience.
"I know deep in my heart that the people of Detroit will face this latest challenge with the same determination that we have always shown," Levin said.
Sen. Debbie Stabenow, his fellow Democrat from Michigan, expressed a similar sentiment. "This is certainly one of the greatest challenges Detroit has faced in its long history," she said, "but the people of Michigan's largest city have met and overcome tremendous challenges in the past. There are so many positive things happening across the city, and I have every confidence that Detroit will emerge even stronger and more resilient."
Detroit has long been known as Motor City, but automobile production has been leaving the area for decades. U.S. auto companies, like all automakers worldwide, have increasingly become global operations.
During the recession, GM and Chrysler were bailed out by the U.S. government and saved from bankruptcy. Their sales have rebounded strongly, but the automakers have in the process become much leaner operations.
Only the reopening of factories and other facilities will help the city reverse its slide, said Chrysler Chief Executive Sergio Marchionne, when he discussed the automaker reinvestment in the region in March. | <urn:uuid:e4ba3101-0b26-47f5-aa2c-b037c75c8602> | CC-MAIN-2016-30 | http://articles.latimes.com/2013/jul/19/nation/la-na-0719-detroit-bankruptcy-20130719 | 2016-07-30T16:23:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-30/segments/1469258918071.75/warc/CC-MAIN-20160723072838-00063-ip-10-185-27-174.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.96764 | 1,107 |
Aging sucks, plain and simple.
Yesterday my heart was breaking; it was breaking because Luke fell into the gutter and couldn't get up. I had my hands full with Luke and Elsa's leashrs when she hopped over him and got stuck midway. The leash wrapped around his legs faster than I could react and he was down. The horrible thing about going down on the concrete is the hit on his poor old bones. I let out some not so lady like words and helped him to his feet. He seemed to shake it off better than I did and went on his way. Writing this blog now nearly a day later and I'm still upset about the memory of him laying there. I'm trying to be more like Luke and forget it, but it is difficult.
I am feeling like a human shield for him now; when we go out and hang with younger dogs. He simply cannot take a hit; I won't let it happen. Funny, a year ago things were very different. Luke was the buff guy in the house. I had to keep my eye out for Tilley falling. She was not frail like Luke, she was crooked from her Vestibular disease. But every so often she'd forget about it and try to run like the good old days. It never ended well and I learned to run and catch before she hit the ground.
When we added Elsa to the group I had to watch Tilley constantly. She wanted to keep up with Elsa and I caught her several times jumping up onto the lounge outside just before she took a nose dive. As our dogs age their age catches up with them; speeding the process exponentially. The older they get, the quicker they age. At 6 and 7 years of age; six months goes by without any notice. Now at 12 years old, 6 months brings with it a big change. It's a change that I hate and more evident with a young'n around like Elsa. Seeing her take a spill from sheer over excitement is nothing at her age. She can take a major wipe out; get up, shake and keep going like nothing happen just to do it again.
Recently it seems that Luke has been very precise with his play. Every so often he is careless but not so much anymore. There are two things happening here that play into the change. 1. Luke is aging much more quickly now, and 2. Elsa is much stronger, flexible and agile than ever before. The difference between the two is growing on a daily basis and it is sad. When I had Jessie, Tilley and Luke the difference was not as vast. 15.5, 14.5 and 11 is much different than 12 and 1.
As I enjoyed the day photographing dogs at the beach the other day I realized that Luke could not have been there. I have no doubt that he would be injured by other younger, more rambunctious dogs than he, now. So if we return to that particular beach it will just be Elsa and I. This is the part where you have to go with your head and try to ignore your heart that is being gnawed on a daily basis.
As hard as it is to watch the aging process; I feel lucky to have him with me and pretty darned healthy albeit too skinny and frail. But there is nothing I can do about the frail part, it is a fact of life. He was dealt with very little muscle and now at this time in his life he will suffer for someone's error in breeding. He has a heart of gold and is the most amazing dog. He takes great joy in the little things in life; it is a great way to be. I have learned so much from Luke over the years we've spent together and I will continue to learn more. He still loves to run for a bit and then he is happy to smell the roses and look for lizards.
After a life of watching out for his Mom it is now my turn to watch out for my boy. It's our job and I wouldn't want anyone else doing my job. We care for them their whole life but as they age there is more care, more protectiveness and more concern. When I got Luke to his feet yesterday morning after falling into the street; I wrapped my arms around him and took his weight in my arms. Those poor little legs of his are having a tough time lately; I held his weight for him for a bit and then we got ourselves together.
Luke is 12 years and 2 months old. The next year will bring much more change than ever before for Luke; but I am more than prepared for it all. It seems like yesterday that I was hovering around Tilley whenever we were around other dogs. Watching as the aging process took over more and more of Tilley and Jessie's lives seems like only yesterday. But it is Luke now that needs a hand to get to his feet when his old legs struggle. Now my baby of 11 years is in the thick of his golden years.

BUFFALO NICKEL TRIBUTE – 2 TROY OUNCE – 39MM
The Buffalo nickel or Indian Head nickel is arguably one of the most popular and recognizable coins ever struck by the U.S. Mint. It was designed by sculptor James Earl Fraser, and struck from 1913 to 1938.
In 1911, the decision was made to replace the Charles E. Barber’s Liberty Head design for the nickel, and James Earl Fraser was commissioned to do the work. The Taft administration officials were impressed with the work. The designs were approved in 1912, but were delayed by several months because of an objection of the Hobbs Manufacturing Company, a company that made mechanisms to detect slugs in nickel-operated vending machines. Finally, in February 1913, Treasury Secretary Franklin MacVeagh made the decision to issue the coins despite the objection.
- Contains 2 oz. Troy of .999 Fine Silver
- Obverse: Right-facing head of a Native American, with the word “LIBERTY” in the outer circumference at approximately two o’clock, and the date on the lower left.
- Reverse: “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” around the top of the outer circumference, with the words “E PLURIBUS UNUM” below “AMERICA,” above a high-relief depiction of the American Bison. “TWO TROY OUNCES” centered below the bison, with the Mint Mark and Hallmark below.

This morning our message is a continuation from last week as we talked about Mustard Seed Faith. From these messages I have given much thought to the attack of Satan, on the faith of believers.
Society is besieged by the work of the evil one. Sadly, his effort has reached far- even into the church. The world seems so different now. After three years, Covid is still a discussion in society as during this time many have walked away from God. Others are shouting “there is no God”, while some are saying, “who is God?” In addition, society is also feeling a strange pressure of war. Not that war is anything new (quite the contrary), but this war is escalating into something that may require us to move all of our church services to heaven. The “N” word is becoming more and more commonplace after multiple countries are threatening to use nuclear weapons. The price of gas is up, and the stock market is down. The world around us appears to be unraveling.
In the midst of this maddening chaos there is a place which God, in his infinite wisdom, has prepared for us. As the song says, the joy of the Lord is my strength. Whatever comes against me, the joy of the Lord is my strength. Whatever is taken from me, the joy of the Lord is my strength. Regardless what is said about me, the joy of the Lord is my strength. Regardless how large the bomb dropped on my house, the joy of the Lord is still my strength. The beautiful reality of being in Christ is that NOTHING can touch the joy God has placed in us. As things continue to unravel, just remember - the joy of the Lord is our strength! | <urn:uuid:9462c639-7c9a-4561-8937-1b4ddd927f31> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.porthuronchurchofchrist.org/from-the-heart-of-lamar/the-joy-of-the-lord7934364 | 2023-09-26T01:30:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510130.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926011608-20230926041608-00580.warc.gz | en | 0.979467 | 388 |

Father Nicholas delivers a sermon on the gospel reading by Luke (13:10-17) where Jesus heals a woman who was crippled for 18 years. Christ addresses the woman, using the Word of Love and creates a miracle.
Words can also have destructive power, as embodied in this gospel reading by the ruler of the synagogue.
An icon is a window into eternity, and so is the word of God. One word opens up eternity. The word of God is God Himself and it is Love.

YouTube Music has now debuted its 2021 Recap feature, which is similar to a Year in Review. That’s supposed to deliver all of the stats someone could desire for their listening history, as its slogan says. Those statistics, though, aren’t just numbers. They’re in an easily interactive manner, replete with playlists and sharing for those that desire it.
Unlike some other characteristics, though, this one isn’t always the easiest to find organically. So, let’s take a deeper look at how you may get your own own YouTube Music 2021 Recap.
Here’s where YouTube tucked its Year-in-Review Music Recap for 2021
It’s never been easier to get to your YouTube Music Year-in-Review Recap for 2021 than it is now. It could also not be more counter-intuitive. When YouTube adds a new feature to one of its apps, that feature is usually prominently shown. Even for features that are only available for a limited period or are rather obscure, like this one. They’re usually displayed in the form of a pop-up banner or card when you first start the app.
This one, on the other hand, is hidden quite a bit deeper. And it’s hidden in a menu that’s unlikely to be visited by most users. At the very least, most people aren’t going to order from the menu very often. Let alone frequently enough to intuitively uncover the feature through basic navigation. And the business isn’t even putting up a banner or a card. Although some consumers may receive an email informing them of the new feature.
So let’s move throughout the procedure for tips on how to get on your 2021 YouTube Music Year-in-Review Recap step-by-step.
- The obvious first step is going to be opening YouTube Music. That’s specifically going to need to be the app for YouTube Music, as opposed to the web version. As that latter version does not, as of this writing at least, appear to show the feature
- Once YouTube Music is open, you’ll need to access your profile menu. That’s easily accomplished via a tap on your profile image, tucked away at the top-right-hand corner of the UI. If you haven’t set a user profile image, the image will show the first letter of your Google Account username
- Look for an option that reads “2021 Recap” in the resulting profile menu. That specifically appears between the options labeled “History” and “Paid memberships”
- Tap — or click on other platforms — the “2021 Recap” option. That’s denoted by a rewind icon
What’s at the recap web page?
What the YouTube 2021 Recap is, however, will differ depending on how you’ve used the service in the past. In particular, how you’ve used the service in the previous year. Starting with a 2021 Recap playlist. As shown in the images above, that’s because the recap is not just stats. It’s also a collection of 365-day playlists that can be shared. As well as a number of statistics related to that listening. Several different categories are covered.
The majority of the songs on my YouTube Music 2021 Recap page are the result of how many audio gadgets I’ve tested this year, as shown in the images above. In fact, the vast bulk of the entries are straight copied from my test playlist. This explains why NOW That’s What I Call Polka! by Weird Al Yankovic was my “On Repeat” selection. Or, to be more specific, why I listened to it eight times in a week, according to
YouTube Music, in addition to displaying a title in that genre, also provides additional information. It can inform you, for example, which YouTube Music-generated mix you listened to the most. Which “Chill Vibe” song has been played the most and which “Energy Anthem” has been played the most are also included. We’ll use Tracy Chapman’s Fast Car and Mindless Self Indulgence’s Shut Me Up as examples. My page’s “Discovered Artist” — properly, rediscovered — was Live.
Finally, the page shows which song you listened to the most, which artist you spent the most time with, and which playlists you used the most. As previously stated, the majority of our sample photographs came from the “Tester” playlist.
But the ones effects are going to alter considerably from consumer to consumer. And person playing cards at the YouTube Music 2021 Recap web page may also be shared at a click on or added to playlists by way of the plus-shaped button. | <urn:uuid:cdf2d533-c55e-4c55-bbbb-29c91a1aab2e> | CC-MAIN-2023-06 | https://www.specser.com/heres-how-to-find-your-youtube-music-year-in-review-recap-2021/ | 2023-01-28T02:59:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-06/segments/1674764499470.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230128023233-20230128053233-00828.warc.gz | en | 0.939588 | 1,015 |
I don't mind, every so often, promoting a product that I come across. I found a pretty good brand of sausage that not only offers gluten-free varieties, but also states that it's gluten-free ON THE FRONT of the package. And, because they did so, I bought a pack of their sausage. This is Aidells sausage. I bought the chicken-apple flavor. It is gluten-free, no MSG and made with chicken not injected with hormones. Perfect! The kids liked it but I had to explain why there were small pieces of apple in the sausage. I told them it was potato, which they would prefer over apple. Anyway, great product.
Check Aidells out at its Web site. They also have this to say about gluten: "Gluten is an ingredient in soy sauce which we use in some of our sausages. These are Thai, Lamb with Rosemary and Lemon Chicken. As for dairy products, our Pesto Sausage contains Romano cheese. Our spice blends are our trade secrets. However, if you are allergic to any particular spice, please contact us. We will happily tell you if it is in any of our products." | <urn:uuid:f2f1c4c2-a944-4500-8381-89635d722439> | CC-MAIN-2017-34 | http://gfcfrecipes.blogspot.com/2007/11/yummy-gluten-free-sausage.html | 2017-08-18T12:30:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-34/segments/1502886104636.62/warc/CC-MAIN-20170818121545-20170818141545-00280.warc.gz | en | 0.98093 | 247 |
'I wanna tell you a story...'
primarily in pictures, there aren't any award winning photos here but bear with me and hopefully I can make sense of this (that'll make a change then!).
It goes back over a few years when I first came across the Common Tern at Preston Dock, West Africa to Preston Dock... I ask you!
The male who appears to have started this colony was ringed at Doffcocker Lodge, Bolton on 14 June 2006 hasn't been seen so far this year. I have been down three or four times, mainly when the light was awful and aperture speeds just not fast enough, it started off with about 13 birds and last count was 23+, the plus because they are often mobile and keeping track isn't always easy, so 23 is a seen count with probable others.
It appears as if the birds have been flying off west down into the River Ribble but quite how far they are going is presently unknown to the author... so to the story in pics (not all photos taken on the same day, or same time), more posts on the same subject to follow a sthe story has moved on but I can't keep up!

Tune of the Day: Autumn
This is the third of four violin concertos that make up Antonio Vivaldi's popular cycle known as The Four Seasons. Like the other concertos, “Autumn” is made up of three movements, with the usual fast-slow-fast scheme. Its music was written to depict pastoral scenes and events described in a sonnet that accompanies the original score.
Celebrates the peasant, with songs and dances,
The pleasure of a bountiful harvest.
And fired up by Bacchus' liquor, many
End their revelry in sleep.
Everyone is made to forget their cares and to sing and dance
By the air which is tempered with pleasure,
And by the season that invites so many
Out of their sweetest slumber to fine enjoyment.
The hunters emerge at the new dawn,
And with horns, dogs and guns depart upon their hunting
The beast flees and they follow its trail;
Terrified and tired of the great noise
Of guns and dogs, the beast, wounded, threatens
Languidly to flee, but harried, dies. | <urn:uuid:c87b06e1-3e96-48d9-83c2-36f33833945d> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://www.flutetunes.com/tunes.php?id=386 | 2018-06-19T06:43:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267861980.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20180619060647-20180619080647-00483.warc.gz | en | 0.968628 | 234 |

The 2015 Los Angeles Auto Show was the stage for the debut of Hyundai Motor America’s new brand experience. The 16,000 ft² of exhibition space was the home to 17 vehicle models, with a second area in the South Hall atrium showcasing the HYUNDAI N 2025 VISION GRAN TURISMO concept.
The Affinity Zone highlighted Hyundai’s sponsorship and support of professional and college sports leagues, and golf events. The Tucson NFL concept was featured to celebrate Hyundai’s official sponsorship of the NFL.
The Premium Performance zone featured a change in materiality as a backdrop to the Equus and Genesis models.
The Brand Gallery showcased a wide range of the programs, projects and philanthropy that Hyundai contributes to in the United States. Featured stories include the Hyundai design story, new in-car technologies, and a recap of the custom vehicles developed for SEMA.
The Owner’s Lounge was an exclusive area for Hyundia owners. Treated in warm woods and metals, and outfitted with mid-centrury-inspired furnishings, the Owner’s Lounge became a respite from the hussle and bustle of the auto show floor.
The HYUNDAI N 2025 VISION GRAN TURISMO, first revealed in at Frankfurt Auto Show, made its first North America visit. The concept car gives a glimpse of the styling future high-performance Hyundai’s, under the sub-brand N, will take inspiration from. | <urn:uuid:b6ac2bea-2f54-40c5-a1f9-ca6f21e2af32> | CC-MAIN-2021-31 | https://stuartfingerhut.com/portfolio-item/hyundai-auto-show-redesign/ | 2021-07-25T07:39:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-31/segments/1627046151638.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20210725045638-20210725075638-00695.warc.gz | en | 0.922007 | 308 |

The Plymouth Superbird was introduced on the market back in 1970. We can say that generally, the Plymouth Superbird was some kind of a toned down NASCAR racing car. It was also to some extent a flop. But, being a flop in its time, didn`t stop the Plymouth Superbird from entering gearhead Valhalla! It also inspired a big number of creative generations to do some unwise modifications to muscle cars. The latest creation of that kind of an inspiration comes The Grizz! It can produce up to 194 miles per hour!
Birth was given to The Grizz by Joel Highsmith and his nutter pals. It started at first as a modest 2008 Dodge Challenger Superbird, but when these guys got a hold of it, you get this mad scientist creation. The first thing that will grab your attention when you set your eyes on the Dodge Challenger Superbird is the very radical Superbird body kit. It has great aero front end and an immense rear wing. To say the least, the result is impressive, even If you think the rear wing does look a bit strange on the flared rear deck of this Dodge Challenger.
Monster is what you want — monster is what you get. The 2008 Dodge Challenger “Superbird” may look nice but surely is not nice. In fact, it is very mean! When you see its black rims, black paint job with slim red stripes, you may presume it has power, but not until you open its hood can you be prepared for what is coming: 408 Cubic Inch engine by Spanking Time Motorsports, getting over 1000 RWHP, with KB 4.2 Supercharger 17lbs of boost, NAG 1 Transmission by Paramount, and Superbird Conversion by HPP #002 (first race edition). This fusion of old and new is owned by Team Spankin Time.
We are very happy to see the legacy of the Superbird lives on because of a madman like Joel Highsmith and his pals. | <urn:uuid:ff79ddb1-6b95-4edf-b0cd-4352b92dfc89> | CC-MAIN-2019-09 | https://classiccarsmag.com/2008-dodge-challenger-superbird-sounds-like-plane/ | 2019-02-19T09:54:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-09/segments/1550247489729.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20190219081639-20190219103639-00580.warc.gz | en | 0.956994 | 407 |
The reason most of the rule mazes exist is the same exact reason for which there are 613 commandments in the old testament: dumb uneducated hordes.
It might sound like shit to hear one thinking with sweeping generalizations about society and call people dumb and uneducated. But, allow my transgression, for illustration purposes, the truth is people in general do not think very far into the future. That is why rules start to appear on top of the existing rules, they bring the future (a.k.a consequences) closer. For example, in case of driving under the influence, it is easier to foresee that a random police will run a breath test on you, than to foresee the complexity of your path home, or to calculate the probability of killing or hurting someone.
The less rules you have in place, the more people ought to be trusted with self governance. The problem is people in general are unreliable. Think of the overused Stanford prison experiment which, by all means, could mean nothing, but, if it does mean anything, it is that people require enforced rules to function in structured groups, because the only thing that allowed that violent path to unfold was the clearly stated lack of repercussions for anything that might occur in the experiment.
Education is not enough in a society to allow for less laws. Education by itself helps the individual only in part. Experience too is crucial, people make different things of their education, according to their direct experience. That is why intelligence, in the end is the key element: to transform your education and experience to the best possible outcome, one requires intelligence. It appears that, indeed, less rules and simpler mazes are a good aim but assuming by default that billions of people are ready for a simple body of laws ignores human history and a million other things.
Making “high tech” cities in the sky, “futuristic” ones on the sea or on “special” pieces of land, and calling intelligent and educated people “refugees”, because they setup camp and create small societies to “test” laws, is the shitty future everyone envisioned, from Sci-Fi authors to political writers, there is nothing revolutionary about that: wiping off all debt towards humanity, just because we can, doesn’t make anyone a better human. It is quite funny how libertarianism can so easily shift from a fight for freedom into a shape of social eugenics. | <urn:uuid:5ad65000-2eac-4ab3-b1b2-2ef1ff79c655> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://www.andreidraganescu.info/2016/05/16/libertarianism-seems-to-work-only-in-a-society-made-of-intelligent-and-educated-people/ | 2019-11-13T10:01:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496667177.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20191113090217-20191113114217-00525.warc.gz | en | 0.953459 | 501 |
ST. LOUIS — Sometime in the 1990s, the ladder to success got longer for America's children.
Parents began tacking on a year or two of prekindergarten. Employers began demanding advanced degrees beyond college. Where once a dozen years of school sufficed for a good job, now youngsters are staring at a minimum 18-year stint preschool through college to launch a successful career.
And even that may not be enough.
A new report from the Census Bureau suggests that to make a really good income, today's young people may need 20 years or more in the classroom and an advanced degree. Such demands, daunting enough for students, may prove even more challenging for their parents, struggling to pay for extra schooling, and for universities, straining to provide it.
The United States may have to reexamine notions of what it takes to prepare young people for a career.
"Increasingly, a bachelor's degree is seen as a more generalist kind of degree," says Ron Bird, chief economist for the Employment Policy Foundation, a Washington think tank. "The demand for ... specially trained and highly skilled people is continuing to outstrip the supply."
The new dynamics in classroom tenure are evident at the earliest ages. Consider preschool. Once the preserve of only a few, today it's mainstream. Nearly two-thirds of 3- and 4-year-olds attend prekindergarten classes or day care with some sort of educational component, according to recently released census data.
As a result, the expectations teachers once had for first-graders are being shifted onto kindergartners. "Kindergarten is now first grade," says Dominic Gullo, professor of early-childhood education at the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee.
A similar shift is happening at the college level. Once a badge of achievement, a bachelor's degree is now becoming merely the ticket of admission to the working world. "A bachelor's degree is clearly what a high school degree used to be in terms of basic education for an economy based on knowledge," says Nancy Goldschmidt, associate vice chancellor for performance and planning for the Oregon University System.
For years, experts have pointed to the economic importance of education. Studies have shown that college graduates, on average, have long made more money per year than the typical high school graduate.
In 1975, for example, college grads working full time and year-round averaged 50 percent more income than the typical full-time worker with a high school diploma. The worker with an advanced degree made an extra 20 percent over the college grad.
In 1991, however, the yardstick changed.
College grads still earned a big premium over the high school set. But those with advanced degrees earned even bigger premiums over college grads. That pay gap has yawned wider ever since.
By the late 1990s, the average full-time employee with a doctoral degree earned $89,400, according to a census report released today. That was $37,200 more than the typical college grad a gap significantly larger than the $21,800 premium the college grad earned over the typical high school graduate. Professionals meaning dentists, doctors, lawyers, and veterinarians earned even more than doctoral-degree holders.
"The payoff is certainly there, and more so today than in the past," says Jennifer Day, coauthor of the new census report. "It's a payoff you have over your lifetime."
According to the report, the typical high school graduate can expect to earn $1.2 million after 40 years of full-time work. That's not bad. But it pales in comparison with better-educated workers. The average college grad can look forward to $2.1 million; the doctoral degree-holder, $3.4 million; and the professional degree-holder, $4.4 million.
True, college is far more common these days. Nearly 2 in 3 high school seniors go on to college the following year, according to the census report. But far fewer go on to master's programs.
In the late 1990s, graduate- school enrollments actually decreased, in part because the strong economy was luring college grads into the workforce. "When the dotcom boom was on, students wouldn't even complete their bachelor's studies," says Joe Merola, senior administrative fellow in charge of restructuring at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg.
Now, with a slower economy, experts say employers are becoming choosier. They're looking for young people with job experience or advanced degrees.
But that doesn't mean the job market will freeze out talented but less-educated individuals. "A college student or even somebody without a degree can be successful," Dr. Merola says. "We can point to Bill Gates."
Yet the averages suggest that for most young people, an advanced degree is becoming ever more important to getting ahead. "We could see people with bachelor's degrees having a harder time finding employment compared with three to five years ago," adds Dr. Goldschmidt.
Her own daughter, who enters high school this fall, is considering neurosurgery or law. She's "definitely going to college and going on" for a professional degree, Goldschmidt laughs. "She's read my reports." | <urn:uuid:074ddf10-b494-4ee4-8606-705ab0056c6c> | CC-MAIN-2016-36 | http://www.csmonitor.com/2002/0718/p01s04-ussc.html | 2016-08-30T01:56:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-36/segments/1471982967939.90/warc/CC-MAIN-20160823200927-00112-ip-10-153-172-175.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.969943 | 1,085 |

1. SMD resistor 5% case 0805 value 100kohm
2. Firmware update to version 2.20A for front panel and main board processors
Some users complained of interferences caused by strong local broadcast station on LW/MW. We designed 7th order Chebishev high pass filter which was connected in line with the RX path. Filter effect though was inadequate and I was forced to look closer at receiver front end especially input point at RX/TX switch. Then realized that LPF diodes are not effectively cut off on RX so large signals can make them act like AM detector causing IMD problems. Adding pulldown resistor 100kohm would be enough for diodes to be reverse biased. (On RX cathodes see +13V). This way diodes and band LPF’s will be fully isolated from receive path and will no longer interact with incoming signals
Added pulldown resistor is 100kohm smd case 0805 and is easily placed onto the two viases in LPF board. LPF board is located on back panel PA assembly and can be accessed after removing PA shield and then completely pulling off the PA module.
This modification needs new firmware 2.20A to be uploaded in RGO ONE FP and MB processors. FW 2.20A completely disengage band LPF’s from receive path. Current band LPF is switched on only on TX | <urn:uuid:e1e6f200-459d-442a-91be-b456ddf629e5> | CC-MAIN-2023-14 | https://lz2jr.com/blog/index.php/rgo-one-large-signal-mod/ | 2023-03-24T13:44:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-14/segments/1679296945282.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20230324113500-20230324143500-00614.warc.gz | en | 0.94985 | 294 |

However, one lonely babe cursed why she came alone or worse still why she hadn't hooked up as couples were all over each other and could not wait to get a room. She looked at this Klear Kut guy who was in a green Jamaican T-shirt with his babe who threatened to tear each other into pieces.
This couple did not have have a clue of what was going on as they were all over each other. Babe next time come well equipped or play it cool to avoid messy situations!

I'm linking up at Oh Scrap! today.
Saturday, December 7, 2019
I finished up a teal scrap basket to go with the collection. I think I will make at least one more in pink. Not sure about white brown and black.
This morning I need to go and get a picture taken for teacher of the year which means I need to shower and do my hair and makeup and all of that. Such a lot of bother on a Saturday! Things at school are winding down quickly. It is a rush of getting everything graded and finishing off one last of everything right now.

It is hard to remember the last Sunday that came around without a painting or home improvement project of some sort to work on. Other than laundry, my day is wide open. I have a few Tiny Tuesday blocks that needed a bit of applique stitches. I think the main project will be to get those blocks a bit closer to getting sewn together.
Anna and her friends headed out first thing this morning. They have a Chemistry presentation on Tuesday to prepare for. Kurt is driving Ryan back right now and they left early to try to avoid holiday traffic as much as possible. Sydney has an online course that needs some attention. So that just leaves me and my sewing machine to while away the time. I might just pop in to visit slow stitching Sunday first, and after that it will be full speed ahead. | <urn:uuid:a0488dc6-bb4b-41cc-a44e-11b5c63dceac> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://superscrappy.blogspot.com/2019/12/?m=0 | 2024-03-03T13:36:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947476374.40/warc/CC-MAIN-20240303111005-20240303141005-00543.warc.gz | en | 0.981025 | 464 |

Beginning in the late '80s, in my opinion, radio became nothing more than a jukebox, and in nearly all cases, not even a good one. Thanks to this economy move, the playlists at music-oriented stations saw the same 12 or so songs played over and over ad nauseum. We saw disc jockeys becoming mere "time and temperature" announcers. The "click" of radios being turned off became deafening.
People who choose to listen to the radio do so to be entertained as well as informed. They want local interaction with their announcers. I have worked with PDs who have gone as far as docking a DJ's pay because he said too many words between one of the 12 songs in the rotation. Voice-tracking and automation systems only exacerbate the problem.
Interestingly, if one listens to many of the bigger powerhouse stations, one common thread becomes apparent: They are not using voice tracking. And in the case of a few, they have begun to drop the jukebox.
We actually are witnessing a small renaissance in radio, where full service —providing what a community and not a consultant wants — become paramount.
Kevin Berlen, left, portrays Bob Cratchit, Steve Hall is Scrooge and Jerry Arnold is Orson Welles. Note the RCA 77DX and two 44B stage microphones. Some sound effects were done from the stage such as the 'clanking' of chains and the opening and shutting doors. We're gonna need more spots
A little over a year ago, I founded a group called The Crosley Radio Players, dedicated to the preservation and live recreation of 1930s, '40s and '50s radio. Our shows became an instant success; we were in quite a bit of demand performing to packed audiences around the Terre Haute, Ind., area.
So when it came time to do a Christmas show, I began to think of doing it not only for our audiences at the venues but for a much larger audience who couldn't attend.
I made a suggestion to the management of Midwest Communications, where I am employed as director of engineering, to carry this Christmas show live on one of our four stations.
To the credit of management, instead of a no I was asked a number of pretty good questions about the logistics of putting it on, including how to get the signal back to our studios, whether it would sell and a few others.
The decision was made to proceed with the live broadcast on WINH(FM), 98.5 MHz.
Having lived in this community for almost 30 years, I naturally have developed many friendships and business relationships, and I called upon them to help sponsor the broadcast.
Our sales manager (who is also a Crosley Player) and I put together an attractive sponsorship package. The show we were recreating was the Dec. 24, 1939 Campbell Playhouse version of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol." This play, heard on CBS each year from 1934 until 1953, was the brainchild of Orson Welles and starred Academy-Award winning actor Lionel Barrymore as Ebenezer Scrooge.
The original radio play had only one commercial break at the midpoint, so we started with only four packages to sell to advertisers. Much to everyone's surprise, we sold out those packages in less than three hours.
It appeared that there was a lot of community interest in this. Our sales manager asked if there was any way to add additional breaks. We reviewed the script and found two places where natural breaks could be inserted without affecting the flow and continuity.
This gave us room for four more sponsors. These sold out in less than two hours.
WMGI(FM) morning personality Tim Shelton portrays nephew Fred. We always record our shows and make CDs for the members. So the sales manager asked if we could use the recording, remove the commercials from the first broadcast, re-sell it and then re-broadcast the radio play on Christmas Eve. I saw no problem with that.
The sales force sold out these eight packages in less than six hours.
Now the management was seeing dollar signs. After a brief conference it was decided to simulcast the show on WWSY(FM) at 95.9.
The live broadcast was sold out in less than a day, and the recorded re-broadcast in just over one day.
In total, 32 packages were sold to local advertisers in less than four days. Even I sold a couple packages.
The reaction was phenomenal. The most commonly-heard reaction was, "Wow. That's great! Real radio again!" Sponsors asked if they could attend the performance. We even got three new clients who had never been on radio before.
Old is new
Doing the show from our venue was conventional.
Our sound engineer provided an output from his mixing board to feed our Marti RPU transmitter, which was in our station's van just outside the theatre. Commercials were done at the studio; we monitored the station off-air for direct cues. The audience at our venue was caught up in being part of a live broadcast event as well.
One member of the Crosley Players, Tom McClanahan, is news director for Terre Haute's WTWO(TV); he brought their station's live van, doing two cutaways telling viewers about the event on the 5 and 6 p.m. newscasts.
At 6:30 p.m. the board operators of both stations played the show's opening, which we were monitoring at the site, and as they potted up the Marti's audio, we began. I had the honor of doing Orson Welles' part as narrator.
This show, including three commercial breaks, took about 50 minutes to broadcast. Reaction afterwards at the live venue was one of amazement by the audience. Several people asked members of the Crosley Players for autographs.
The next day, when I went to lunch, I overheard a couple talking about listening to it on one of our stations. Calls began to come in asking if it was going to be repeated and whether there would be more live broadcasts of this nature. Still other callers asked if they could buy a copy of the broadcast on CD. We even had an inquiry from a business in the listening area that wanted to hire the Crosley Players to do a show from their place.
Now I know what you might be thinking: "That's OK, but it doesn't fit our format." For the record, WINH's format is modern country and WWSY's is '80s hits. It didn't exactly fit either of them.
Part of radio's problems stem from the cookie-cutter approach that so many stations have taken in regard to their programming. They may be sticking with their format even as they continue to lose listeners and advertising revenue.
While a radio play certainly is nothing new from a broadcasting standpoint, it is new to three generations who didn't grow up having them to listen to.
Perhaps your station could benefit.

Yes. It would be better convert it to snd_soc_cache_sync().
Just think this patch may be useful for 3.1 or earlier kernel version.

Regulatory News | 26 May 2016 | By Zachary Brennan
The European Union has offered a new proposal that would further harmonize the pharmaceutical regulations between the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which could speed new drug approvals and manufacturing inspections in both regions.
The seven-page proposal, released ahead of Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) negotiations between the EU and the US, would create a specific annex in those trade talks on medicinal products.
Under the EU proposal, FDA and EMA would further harmonize their respective requirements and procedures for approving new drugs, further remove unnecessary and duplicative preclinical and clinical testing and eliminate duplicative inspections of manufacturing facilities.
In addition, the proposal looks to further EMA and FDA dialogue on scientific matters, which may cover research, development and assessment of different types of drugs, generics, biosimilars and medicinal products of major public health interest, or that address unmet medical needs, including those eligible for accelerated regulatory review.
Further collaborations will take place around the development of guidelines, recommendations and initiatives to promote the development of rapid diagnostics, alternative treatments and new antimicrobials as part of efforts to combat anti-microbial resistance.
Certificates of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) compliance issued by FDA, EMA or a national EU regulator, demonstrating that the manufacturing facility is compliant, will also be part of the upcoming negotiations.
The proposal also seeks to add a new annex on the mutual acceptance of manufacturing inspections.
The proposal also seeks to vastly expand the type of information that may be exchanged between FDA and EMA, including:
The exchange of such information will not publicly disclose confidential information of commercial, technical or scientific nature, including trade secrets not in the public domain, the proposal says.
EMA and FDA have previously teamed up to draft pediatric Gaucher disease guidance, to build an active pharmaceutical ingredient database, to share information on Ebola treatments and to share information on generic drugs.
Also part of the proposal is an idea to create a collaborative working group for regulatory cooperation between the European Commission, with the support of EMA, and FDA and the US Department of Agriculture.
The group is expected to support and further develop existing and future bilateral regulatory cooperation between the competent authorities, as well as to establish a joint regulatory cooperation work plan for cooperation in areas of common interest.
“The work plan may include areas which are not fully regulated or not addressed at international level and where bilateral cooperation or a common approach on multilateral cooperation and cooperation in relevant international organisations and bodies could advance science and promote harmonisation of the requirements, guidelines and procedures applicable to the authorisation of medicinal products,” the proposal says.

ERIS Medical Technologies offers comprehensive and automated solutions that quickly and efficiently identify missing and noncompliant charges for health care providers. All of our products are driven by a proprietary rules logic engine that boasts over 375,000 algorithms with code pairing capability and clinical leading practice guidelines. This logic is used to identify problem patient bills either prospectively (before the claim is created) or retrospectively (after the claim has been submitted to the payer).
ERIS’ comprehensive charge-capture solutions have been industry proven and typically improve healthcare provider’s net patient revenue by 1-7% and improve a provider’s revenue cycle operational efficiency by up to 70%.
We provide a superior and quantifiable value proposition with products that deliver immediate financial ROI with relatively no capital expenditure to the customer.
The founders of ERIS Medical Technologies have been involved with helping health care organizations identify missing revenue through operational redesign for nearly 25 years. Our experienced team, with expertise concentrated in the provider revenue cycle arena, understands the importance of revenue cycle emerging trends and recognizes the benefit of comprehensive and efficient charge capture integrity. We have had the privilege of working with world-class health care organizations and understand the struggles that these institutions face in managing their charge capture process and prioritizing charge capture workflow efforts.
Like most businesses, hospitals must be able to catalog, appropriately charge, and reconcile all services provided to its customers. In a hospital’s case, however, the patient is the “customer” and each patient that passes through the doors of a hospital will experience a different encounter. Imagine the monumental task of making sure that each patient is charged comprehensively and compliantly for all services rendered and supplies and pharmaceuticals used. In a hospital, this task is monumental in that it is also further complicated by the fact that each patient may have unique insurance coverage and billing requirements that make the seemingly straightforward, but yet time consuming, act of patient charge capture an intricate and inefficient event which often leads to lost revenue. Patient charge capture in a hospital setting consists of complex and disjointed systems, operational activities, and clinical processes.
Relative to these complexities, the hospital charge capture process is often difficult and subject to a variety of breakdowns. After patient services are rendered, it is commonly the responsibility of clinical staff to precisely document the five Ws: “who”, “what”, “when”, “where”, and “why” of that patient encounter and then accurately translate the complete patient encounter to charges. While it is often clinically clear what patient services have been rendered, specific payer billing requirements and government regulation frequently drive “how” services should be documented in the patient record and subsequently reported on the patient bill (claim) in order to be paid. The ability to satisfy payer documentation and coding requirements necessary to receive appropriate payment is difficult to administer. It is these intricacies related to charge capture and billing processes that create a plethora of opportunities for breakdowns in the revenue cycle which often result in the loss of reimbursement.
This document specifically addresses some of the common contributing factors for lost charges in the middle revenue cycle and how some organizations are mitigating this risk.

WESTFORD -- The Monty Tech-Nashoba Tech football rivalry has produced plenty of exciting finishes over the years -- and Wednesday night was no different.
Monty Tech 20, Nashoba 12
Monty Tech running back Damitrius Sayararh scored the go-ahead touchdown with 4:59 left to go and the Bulldog defense twice shut down the hosts with its back against its own goal line in the final minute as Monty Tech prevailed with a thrilling 20-12 victory over the Vikings.
The Vikings had a chance after the Sayararh TD but could not quite connect despite driving the ball deep into Monty territory.
Nashoba Tech (2-9) quarterback Vinny Eramo was 7 for 24 passing for 126 yards and 2 TD's to lead the Vikings, even though he was injured early in the game and playing in pain.
Sun staff photos can be ordered by visiting our SmugMug site.
"We just couldn't get that last play we needed," Nashoba Tech head coach James Creed said. "(Eramo) was in a lot of pain, and sucked it up, and said he'd go back out for his seniors. There was no way he wasn't going to finish the game and give us the opportunity we had."
Eramo's favorite targets were Chris Fusco (3 receptions, 77 yards, TD) and Marcus Fields (2 receptions, 41 yards, TD). The Fusco TD catch came on a 31-yard fade route while the touchdown toss to Fields was a long pass to the corner of the end zone. | <urn:uuid:bc7fe67b-41b7-4c01-b0cc-c0e2ccc6826b> | CC-MAIN-2017-39 | http://www.lowellsun.com/ci_30603595/host-nashoba-tech-falls-just-short | 2017-09-25T00:29:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-39/segments/1505818690228.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20170924224054-20170925004054-00485.warc.gz | en | 0.97683 | 332 |
On January 27, Yonhap News Agency said that NCT 127 will continue to challenge themselves with different music genres to attempt new concepts every time it releases a record. This was based on the statement of the group during a press conference ahead of the last part of its two-day concert “NEO CITY: SEOUL – The Origin,” in Olympic Park in eastern Seoul last weekend. The said concert was NCT 127’s first solo concert since its debut three years ago.
NCT 127 member Doyoung said, “If you look at each of our songs carefully, there are no overlapping genres I think… I would say our genre is a challenge. Without having a fixed concept, we want to show new things every time we return and pursue the concept of attempting fresh things.”
NCT 127 is set to hold 14 more concerts in Japan prior to their world tour and here’s what the group’s members would have to say regarding their busy year ahead:
“We are proud of holding our first solo concert … it is the realization of our dream that we have had since we were trainees.” ~ Taeyong
“We are grateful that we are giving (our first concert) at Olympic Gymnastics Arena, but we still have a dream of meeting our fans on a bigger stage since we aim high.” ~ Jaehyun
“I was very thrilled to see a sea of yellow-green (lights). I want to give thanks to our fans.” ~ Johnny
“This concert is very meaningful for us… Rather than being under pressure (for further chart performance), I am very excited and moved by the very fact that we are holding (our first solo) concert. So at this moment, I am full of thrill and amazement.” ~ Doyoung
“To be honest, I am very nervous about going on a big stage right after joining the band. I am putting in a lot of effort not to lag behind.” ~ Jungwoo
Plus! All KPop reported that several hours before the first concert on January 26, lucky iPhone-user fans received selcas of the NCT 127 members backstage, via AirDrop. Check out the AirDrop selcas of all 9 members below:
Several SM Entertainment labelmates were also present during the event to show their support for NCT 127. EXO’s Xiumin, TVXQ’s Yunho, Red Velvet’s Irene, Seulgi, and Joy attended the first night of NCT 127’s concert NEO CITY: SEOUL – THE ORIGIN at the Olympic Gymnastics Arena.
Member Haechan was not present during the press conference and concert due to an ankle injury.
Last October, NCT 127 launched their first studio album, “Regular-Irregular,” on the Billboard 200 chart. This made them the second K-pop boy band to appear on the competitive album chart following BTS. | <urn:uuid:9d17deac-0311-4c1f-bad3-5e791a1b7e4e> | CC-MAIN-2021-04 | https://ksupremacy.com/2019/01/28/nct-127-successfully-concludes-first-solo-concert/ | 2021-01-19T14:23:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-04/segments/1610703519395.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20210119135001-20210119165001-00716.warc.gz | en | 0.969896 | 627 |
Some of my friends will be angry with me for this, but it MUST be said - STOP derailing this conversation about what's going on in Ferguson, Missouri!
Let me lay out for you what derailing is. Derailing is a tactic used by people in privileged groups, allies, and marginalized groups to silence or distract from the opinion or conversation of a marginalized person or group and make it all about themselves. Many folks in privileged groups do this a lot, and quite intentionally, but people in marginalized groups do it, too, often without realizing it.
Derailing occurs mostly because someone got their feelings hurt over something that someone in a marginalized group said or did, so they get defensive and say things like, "all that anger isn't helping you or your cause", or "White people get shot by cops, too", or "my Black friend said that you should be angry about all the Black on Black crime". Some of the points may be valid, but don't belong in that particular conversation.
I'm seeing this a lot with the Michael Brown murder. Folks are saying all kinds of stuff to distract us from the main thing here, which is that there is a rising epidemic of Black folks, particularly, young men, being murdered by cops for doing absolutely NOTHING! I've seen all kinds of derailing tactics, from blaming Mike for his own death by trying to smear his name with lies that he assaulted the cop, and that he was involved in a robbery (news flash folks - both stories are untrue - the guy in the video is clearly NOT Michael, and even if he was, he wouldn't have deserved to die), to people complaining about Black on Black and Black on White crime, to people saying that all cops aren't bad, to folks getting disability issues in the mix - you name it!
In ADAPT, we are taught how not to get issues mixed up, so the disability part in this derailing is particularly disturbing to me. First, let me say this: I am BLACK - when you see me, that's what you see - a Black person. It doesn't matter that I'm also Latina, Choctaw and French because I don't have the phenotypical characteristics of these folks. In other words, I don't look "mixed", so what you see is a Black person. Unless I told you, you'd never know that I am a lesbian; in fact, despite my rather ample endowments, I am often mistaken for a man, especially, since I have a deep, bass voice. If I were not in my wheelchair or on my cane, or if you didn't see me holding things up to my eyes to see, you'd never know that I'm also disabled. You would, however, know that I am Black. That is why, for me, being Black is my primary identifier. The vast majority of the discrimination I experience is based on the color of my skin. That's why all of this hits close to home for me. Now, I've spent almost 30 years fighting for the rights of people with disabilities and have put my body on the line countless times, including 119 arrests, so don't go hating on me for what I'm about to say.
We folks with disabilities need to get off of this derailment bandwagon. If you didn't know that comparing what happened to Mike Brown to what happens to disabled folks is a form of derailment, now you know - it is! That is a very valid, but separate conversation - let's not mix the issues!
Here is a blatant form of derailment: Someone posted an old video of a cop dumping a guy out of his wheelchair, asking why didn't that incident receive the level of outrage as what happened in Ferguson, MO. Folks, I'm almost totally blind, but trust me, I saw RED - and posted this scathing comment: "This ish is horrible, and the cop should be fired and JAILED! BUT it's NOT on the same level as what happened in Ferguson - PLEASE stop trying to compare the two - they are VASTLY different situations! Look, I'm disabled, but I'm BLACK - the issues are DIFFERENT and I'm tired of the conversation being derailed like that - it's totally offensive! What that jerk-ass cop did to Brian was HORRIBLE and he needs to LOSE HIS JOB and be JAILED, but lets not confuse the two issues - the abuse and marginalization of people with disabilities needs to STOP RIGHT NOW, but comparing it with the systemic racism inherent in our police system, indeed, in the very fabric of life as a Black person is just NOT cool! I'm far more likely to get killed for Living While Black than for being disabled!"
A more subtle and well-meaning form of derailment was when a disability group posted a letter of solidarity with the people of Ferguson and used incidents of folks with disabilities being killed by cops in their letter. Again, this is a VERY valid conversation that needs to be had, but not in the context of Ferguson. That would be like the disability community speaking about how wrong it is that disability is often seen as a fate worse than death, and some Black person or some group like the NAACP chimes in about how Black folks get discriminated against all the time. Valid point, but different conversation, folks - it is NOT the same as folks with disabilities fighting for rights that even many Black folks take for granted!
What I wish the disability group had done was simply stand in solidarity and name the names of Black folks murdered by cops in that lettter. Trust me, I understand about intersectionality, and there are times when the mixed conversations need to be had, but again, not in this context.
Look, folks, I'm NOT saying don't join the conversation. I'm NOT saying not to be allies and stand in solidarity. I'm just saying, let's have this conversation and reflect and mourn and deal with this in the context of Black folks. Right now, this is about us. All I'm asking every other group out there to do is to listen to us and respect our lived experience of Black folks almost routinely, with impunity, being killed by cops for doing nothing. Right now, this is about us, so please STOP derailing this! | <urn:uuid:6c18ee0c-9204-4612-a238-1a70f46b672b> | CC-MAIN-2017-39 | http://www.angryblackwomyn.com/blog/stop-derailing-this-conversation | 2017-09-26T05:33:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-39/segments/1505818695066.99/warc/CC-MAIN-20170926051558-20170926071558-00110.warc.gz | en | 0.975127 | 1,292 |
Cannibal! The Musical (Special Edition[!])
Director: Trey Parker
Don't let the title fool you. This really is a musical. Fuckin goofier than shit, this first outing and somewhat bastard child of Parker and Stone (creators of South Park) would never have seen the light of day if not for our good friends at Troma. Why, you axe? Because they could. Because they could.
Historical inaccuracies and homosexual innuendoes aside, I can't imagine why it hasn't risen the ranks of popularity to join the likes of its counter-part Oklahoma, as the introduction implies. A small band of miners sets out from Utah to find big riches and dreams in the gold rush allegedly taking place in Breckenridge, Colorado. Left suddenly with no guide, the die-hards quickly elect Alferd Packer (Parker, or "Schwartz" as he's credited), who's at least been there, to lead them. But the love of a horse and no fucking clue whatsoever as to how to get to their destination leaves most of the small band of men at each other's throats. Literally. And in the dead of winter in the mountains, to boot. You connect the dots. You can even hum along if you like.
This movie is...what it is. A spoof on the old musicals, with some gay humor and minor bits of gore thrown in just to make it well-rounded. The music, well done, is that saccharine sappiness of the Rogers & Hammerstein era gone-by. Like any "worthwhile" movie, it is also a love story. Of a man, a woman, and a horse. And some dirty French trappers. And some Ute Indians who are of slightly suspicious origin. Seeing it is the only way to believe it. Shot in 16mm, it's been re-mastered to look and sound surprisingly decent, and pretty good as far as Troma productions are concerned. Based on a true story.
Great Scene: The whole "Snowman" theme is altogether wrong, yet disturbingly catchy. The French trapper's song and dance is pretty well done also.
DVD Notes: Troma was the last resort for distribution on this, and luckily knew they had a decent-enough product on their hands to give it a good treatment. The movie itself starts off with a decent little introduction by Troma President Lloyd Kaufman, telling us a little about the history of getting the movie released as well as his own little bits of humor, and then, well, pure insanity. Gotta hand it to Troma, plenty of extras and behind-the-scenes footage (including Lemmy! [yes, that one]), most of it pretty funny. Yeah, a lot of it's shameless promotions for their other stuff, but it's brilliant marketing in the least. Plus there's a quality, TRUE DMR commentary by Parker, Stone, and some of the cast and crew. Not quite as funny as you would expect, but still pretty funny (They get really trashed, complete with a bit of a "pause" and suspicious loss of commentary for a couple minutes,then they're absolute drunken fools heading off to the titty bar by the end.) | <urn:uuid:e55d3ebf-c443-4794-a247-fc244273bbf2> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://thedmr.com/archives/ctmu.html | 2017-10-19T05:13:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187823229.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20171019050401-20171019070401-00065.warc.gz | en | 0.960761 | 672 |

In case of GNUTLS_SHUT_RDWR the TLS session gets terminated and further receives and sends will be disallowed. If the return value is zero you may continue using the underlying transport layer. GNUTLS_SHUT_RDWR sends an alert containing a close request and waits for the peer to reply with the same message.
In case of GNUTLS_SHUT_WR the TLS session gets terminated and further sends will be disallowed. In order to reuse the connection you should wait for an EOF from the peer. GNUTLS_SHUT_WR sends an alert containing a close request.
Note that not all implementations will properly terminate a TLS connection. Some of them, usually for performance reasons, will terminate only the underlying transport layer, and thus not distinguishing between a malicious party prematurely terminating the connection and normal termination.

[Editor’s Note: Be sure to join IGN and Harmonix for the world gameplay premiere of Rock Band 4 in our live stream on Friday, May 15 at 12pm PT/3pm ET/7pm GMT/5am AEST (Saturday).]
Bruce Springsteen is 65 years old. Two key members of his E Street Band have passed away in the last seven years. In fact, for a decade-long period that covered most of the 1990s, Springsteen and his band broke up, and The Boss spent most of the Clinton years not doing much of anything, musically.
The point is, Springsteen was gone. Not forgotten, but gone. And then one day, he came back (2002’s The Rising album), and everything was both familiar and comfortable again, but also brand-new.
Kind of like Rock Band.
The story of its rise and fall in the last console generation has been well documented, but none of that even matters anymore. What counts is that Rock Band 4 is a real game, with the intention of being the only Rock Band game you’ll need for years to come. My band (read: IGN’s Mitch Dyer, Zach Ryan, and I) traveled to Harmonix Music Systems to see, play, and understand Rock Band 4. Yes, it’s getting back to Rock Band’s basics – guitar, drums, bass, and vocals, while ditching the keyboard – but it’s also energizing the game with five years’ worth of added wisdom and perspective, along with a new focus on self-expression that should help players live out their rock ‘n’ roll fantasies in a new way for the remainder of this console generation.
The Beautiful People
Harmonix wants you to be able to put your own signature touch on them.
Harmonix’s first job was making sure the familiar felt fun. Rock Band 4 runs on a new game engine at 1080p and 60fps – and it’s definitely much prettier than ever, particularly in the lighting department – but it retains the same lighthearted style and feel it always did. And that’s by design. And yes, it will be instantly compatible with over 2,000 previous Rock Band songs. But Harmonix also wants to change how you interact with those tracks. Even though you’re reliving rock’s biggest tunes, Harmonix wants you to be able to put your own signature touch on them.
“Personal expression is one of those areas where, when you’re playing a song, regardless of one of those areas, whether you’re playing in your parent’s garage, or playing on a giant stage at Madison Square Garden, the music doesn’t happen unless you play it,” began Rock Band 4 Product Manager Daniel Sussman. “And giving people that sense of ownership of the song is really important, and it’s a huge part of the fantasy, and it’s one of the things you want to do as the spotlight’s on you. It’s your moment to do something, and it’s not just about execution, it’s about expression.
“And to me, that’s one of the big missing pieces of the Rock Band experience, and it’s where we’ve really doubled down. And not at the expense of the original gameplay, which was very refined, and well-presented and really fun, but across the board, for guitar, for drums, for vocals…I feel like we have features that really allow you as a player to color outside the lines. It’s a phrase [Rock Band 4 creative lead] Greg [LoPiccolo] uses a lot, and it’s not about specific thing that you have to do. It’s…as an artist, it’s what do you want to do? And as a developer, can we develop the tools to make you feel like you’re doing something amazing without any musical background or training? And that’s what this game is all about.”
Pick Up Sticks
New drum additions include counting in your band when you’re ready to begin the song.
For the drums, this comes in the form of, first, counting in your band when you’re ready to begin the song. It’s a little thing, but it adds a sense of band camaraderie and leadership when the person behind the kit taps the green tom (or cymbal, if you’re using one of the old or upcoming re-issue of the Rock Band Cymbal Kit) 3-5 times in order to trigger the beginning of your performance.
More impactful, however, are the new mid-song drum fills. Harmonix says it found most Rock Band players to be thrown off by the old system’s completely free-form fill sections, used to trigger Overdrive, and have responded in Rock Band 4 by authoring a massive suite of fun, realistic drum fills that the game will randomly throw at you, based on the song’s genre and difficulty.
“If you have enough Overdrive power to complete playing the fills, the system will just serve up a random sequence of fills from a pool,” explained LoPiccolo, noting that, since not every fill is appropriate for every genre, they’ll have pools of metal fills, pop fills, country fills, etc. “Every fill that you play is completely in time and sounds great. They are all authored, but you have the real experience drummers have of having to be random every time through the song.”
In other words, you’re going to get tailored drum fills that are more fun to play than wildly thrashing about.
This new drum fill feature is backwards compatible.
Better still, LoPiccolo clarified, is that that this new drum fill feature is backwards compatible. “The new drum fill feature will work in all songs going forward and in all the legacy DLC,” he said. “It basically drops into every Rock Band song that we have ever authored.”
Sing Sing Sing
For singers, Harmonix hopes that Rock Band 4 will be the best karaoke game ever made. Not only will the vocal harmonies added in The Beatles: Rock Band return, but a dedicated group of the Rock Band fan community have gone back and authored harmonies for every previous song and handed it over to Harmonix. For free.
You don’t have to stick with the prescribed part; you can make up your own harmonies on the fly.
Rock Band 4 will also give expert game singers a new way to test their skills and express their vocal creativity: freeform melodies. “For hard and expert players, there was this premium on just hitting that exact pitch that was authored into the songs,” LoPiccolo said. “And what we discovered was that a lot of really good singers were constrained by that; they couldn’t have the kind of fun – the expressive fun – that they wanted to have as singers. So, we’ve added a feature now where as long as you’re singing in tune, you can kind of color outside the lines. You don’t have to stick with the prescribed part; you can make up your own harmonies on the fly, and as long as you sing them in tune, the game will give you credit for it. It’s a little bit hard to describe, but to actually do it, it’s incredibly liberating and fun. It’s a whole new way for singers to be creative with Rock Band.”
One other clever touch on this feature: as you sing your custom vocal performance, your score multiplier meter fills up both clockwise (traditional scoring) and counterclockwise (Improvisation scoring). Thus, you’re able to mix and match singing by the numbers and going off-script, while still contributing to your maximum reward either way.
On the Road Again
Rock Band 4's campaign is, effectively, a Rock Band RPG.
The campaign, meanwhile, is perhaps Rock Band 4’s most interesting reach in the gameplay design department. It is, effectively, a Rock Band RPG. “We’re just working really hard at making everything feel like you are living this story, feeling what it’s like to be a musician playing gigs, playing shows,” said Rock Band 4 designer Alli Thresher. “We want you to step up to the mic and interact with them, tell jokes, have them respond to your jokes, you know? Everything’s about all the stuff that all of us might have experienced, and want to share it with the people playing the game.”
We’ll have much more on this later in our month of IGN First coverage (along with the first batch of song reveals, instrument deep-dives, and much, much more).
Even the old, somewhat-obscure Rock Band Stage Kit will be compatible with Rock Band 4.
Heck, insofar as Harmonix’s make-you-feel-like-you’re-in-a-band fantasy goes, even the old, somewhat-obscure Rock Band Stage Kit will be compatible with Rock Band 4...probably. “It’s this crazy bit of passion play on the art development team,” explained Sussman. “The people that have a Stage Kit that work here are maniacally committed to supporting it. So yeah, of course Rock Band 4 is going to support the Stage Kit, to the degree of support like legacy hardware in the first place, right? It’s a controller, and if we can figure out how to get it to the console, people are going to get their fog and their lights. Which is amazing. It’s one of these things…it’s never scheduled, it’s never planned for, and at the end of the day, you read though that code and it’s like, ‘I can’t believe [we] did it.’ So, yeah.”
Born to Run
One after another, everyone I talked to at Harmonix said virtually the same thing when I asked them why they felt the time is right for the four-player, plastic-instrument-wielding multiplayer music game to return: they miss playing it with their friends.
That the developers themselves want Rock Band back for the same reason I do – and are just as excited about it – comforts, reassures, and energizes me. This is a studio intimately familiar with the feelings of synergy, empowerment, and joy that stem from playing live music with and in front of other people – they were founded in 1995 and many of their employees still play in active, touring bands. And as anyone who has been to a great rock concert (like Springsteen’s) knows, when the group puts that much enthusiasm into the performance, the result is a show you’ll probably never forget.

What is a Corporation Stop Valve? Corporation Stop Valve Products with injection quills are commonly used to inject chemicals pumped by metering pumps
into tanks or headers. Popular chemicals where these corporation stop valves are boiler chemicals

The top two picks from the 2021 NBA draft will officially face off for the first time Wednesday when Cade Cunningham’s Detroit Pistons meet Jalen Green’s Houston Rockets. Cunningham and Green did play against each other during Summer League but this is the real deal now.
Green entered the year as the favorite to win Rookie of the Year at +200, according to DraftKings Sportsbook. Cunningham was second at the time at +300. In DKNation’s staff predictions prior to the season, three members of the panel had Green winning the award. Two others had Cunningham, while one had Cleveland Cavaliers big man and current odds-on favorite Evan Mobley bagging the honor.
There were some questions about whether the Pistons would wind up taking Cunningham, who was the consensus top prospect in NBA circles. Detroit was just doing its due diligence with the No. 1 overall pick, and Cunningham embraced the chance at reviving the franchise. Hopefully, the “Motorcade” nickname will stick. Green made some questionable remarks about the city of Detroit when asked about him falling to the Rockets at No. 2 overall, so he’s fortunate this first meeting between the two players is in Houston.
Mobley and Scottie Barnes are currently ahead of Cunningham and Green in Rookie of the Year odds at +350 each, according to DraftKings Sportsbook, but both guards do figure to be in the mix by the time the season ends. Let’s look at how each player has performed so far.
2021-22 NBA stats
Cade Cunningham (4 games): 10.8 points, 2.8 assists, 5.8 rebounds, 23.2 FG%, 14.3 3PT%
Jalen Green (10 games): 13.6 points, 3.0 assists, 3.1 rebounds, 35.3 FG%, 28.6 3PT%
The primary reason for both guards falling in ROTY odds is shooting inefficiency. It doesn’t matter how many points you average if you’re clunking most of your shots. Cunningham’s injury early in the season also affected his stock.
It appears both players are being somewhat miscast in their roles at the moment, which can happen on rebuilding teams. Cunningham is averaging 3.3 turnovers per game, while Green is not doing much better at 2.9 turnovers. The latter was already more of an off-ball player and shouldn’t be forced to initiate offense at this stage. Cunningham was the primary ball handler in college at Oklahoma State but that doesn’t mean he has to fit into that role in the NBA. His skills allow him to play well off the ball, and it’s possible Detroit has to move him to that type of role as Killian Hayes gets back to 100 percent. Hayes is expected to play Wednesday.
When the Pistons and Rockets meet Wednesday, Cunningham and Green will be looking to make statements. One will be trying to justify his spot at the top pick, while the other hopes to show up the organization who passed on him (even if he is thankful for them doing so). Despite their poor starts to the regular season, expect both guards to be in the running for Rookie of the Year. This could be the game where things start looking up. | <urn:uuid:c6794775-122c-4ce0-b542-ee590538846d> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://dknation.draftkings.com/2021/11/10/22773097/nba-rookies-2021-22-cade-cunningham-jalen-green-stats-pistons-vs-rockets-picks-prediction | 2021-11-30T08:25:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964358966.62/warc/CC-MAIN-20211130080511-20211130110511-00181.warc.gz | en | 0.972717 | 677 |

How do convection currents change the earth features?
According to Plate Tectonics convention currents in the mantle move large segments of the earth creating mountains, oceans, and continents
The theory is that convection currents in the mantle move the large blocks of crust known as plates. The movement of these plates change the earth features. When plates collide it forms mountains where no mountains previously existed. Oceans can be destroyed as ocean plates are forced under continental plates. Oceans are created as plates split apart.
Convection Currents are most likely responsible for all the changes in the major earth features. | <urn:uuid:4beffce1-b39e-4947-88f2-88e0321f03b8> | CC-MAIN-2020-16 | https://api-project-1022638073839.appspot.com/questions/how-do-convection-currents-change-the-earth-features | 2020-04-08T15:37:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-16/segments/1585371818008.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20200408135412-20200408165912-00026.warc.gz | en | 0.927703 | 121 |
With more and more IT outsourcing to the cloud this year could see hackers cybercriminals target clouds. When a business uses the cloud it is outsourcing the security to a service provider so it is essential that proper security due diligence is carried out.
In its 2012 Cyber Security Forecast, breach investigation firm Kroll says this is not happening and it believes cloud security will be more common this year.
It said: "As cloud services gain in popularity, related breach incidents will flourish. If we were meteorologists, we'd definitely be calling for overcast with a chance of storms. Companies are smartly embracing the cloud for the associated cost savings and ease of use. Unfortunately, current surveys and reports indicate that companies are underestimating the importance of security due diligence when it comes to vetting these providers. As cloud use rises in 2012, new breach incidents will highlight the challenges these services pose to forensic analysis and incident response and the matter of cloud security will finally get its due attention."
Meanwhile lawyer Mark Lewis at Berwin Leighton Paisner believes there will be a massive focus on cybersecurity with major information leaks and major cyber-attacks in the UK and elsewhere by sovereign states. | <urn:uuid:36b36f7f-8fbd-44b1-abfa-fa61dc882fee> | CC-MAIN-2014-35 | http://www.computerweekly.com/blogs/outsourcing/2012/01/cloud-security-breach-inevitable-as-businesses-underestimate-security-due-diligence.html | 2014-08-23T11:36:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-35/segments/1408500826016.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20140820021346-00370-ip-10-180-136-8.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.947351 | 235 |
6th Annual Strong Baby Sabbath Held To Raise Awareness About Infant Death
MILWAUKEE - Today, Mayor Tom Barrett and Commissioner of Health Bevan Baker held Milwaukee's 6th annual Strong Baby Sabbath. They visited local churches to share a message of support. Their goal was to raise awareness of the top two preventable causes of infant death in Milwaukee - premature birth and unsafe sleeping environments.
At today's event, the mayor shared that the city has made dramatic improvements in reducing the teen pregnancy rate in the last decade in the city of Milwaukee. He also stated that the infant mortality rate has been reduced by 17%.
The mayor stated that there is still more work to be done and that the infant mortality rate in the African American community is approximately 3 times higher
than it is in the white community. He also said that some areas of the city have an infant mortality rate akin to what is seen in third world countries.
Mayor Tom Barrett mentioned that a way to reduce infant mortality is to partner with the faith community. This year they've had 24 churches involved compared to 10 churches last year. The mayor believes that by creating a safe baby sanctuary, expectant mothers or new mothers can receive the help they need.
The Strong Baby Sabbath is planned cooperatively by Ascension-Columbia St. Mary's Urban Church Wellness Program, the City of Milwaukee Health Department, The March of Dimes Wisconsin Chapter, and the Milwaukee Lifecourse Initiative for Healthy Families. | <urn:uuid:8f28fc06-4ee4-49aa-af19-ec03c626b7c7> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://www.cbs58.com/news/6th-annual-strong-baby-sabbath-held-to-raise-awareness-about-infant-death | 2018-06-20T02:14:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267863407.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20180620011502-20180620031502-00546.warc.gz | en | 0.963449 | 297 |

There's not much left of a home torn apart by an explosion Thursday morning in Bettsville.
The Ohio State Fire Marshal was on scene investigating what caused a home near Monroe and Union to erupt into flames.
Seneca County Sheriff's Office confirmed they received a call of the explosion shortly before 8:30 a.m.
Authorities said there was nobody home at the time of the blast.
A nearby resident Stan Poe, who lives a few houses from the blast, woke up in the morning to the smell of gas.
"Definitely not something that happens every day or every week or even every month in Bettsville," Poe said.
Bettsville Fire and EMS, Old Fort Fire, Kansas fire and Bascom EMS arrived on scene to battle the flames.
Poe said the explosion made him concerned for his safety.
"Makes me think it could have been my house and if I'd started the car or something it could have triggered an explosion," he said. "It did make me think twice."
Neighbors say they're a bit more cautious and plan on double checking their gas lines and furnaces after the incident. | <urn:uuid:2e8fbea6-0999-4a16-8987-a83268f8c63c> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://nbc24.com/news/local/home-explosion-in-bettsville-under-investigation?id=1007235 | 2016-10-21T19:04:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988718296.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183838-00521-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.98293 | 236 |

|ECB Stirs up Markets|
|Comments from the ECB this week were perceived as negative for mortgage rates. The economic data had little net effect. As a result, mortgage rates ended the week higher.|
|On Tuesday, comments from an unnamed official at the European Central Bank (ECB) caused global bond yields to rise, including U.S. mortgage-backed securities (MBS). The official said that a "consensus" was forming about what approach to use when they decide that it’s time to conclude their bond buying program. The plan would be to gradually taper the monthly purchases, similar to what the U.S. Fed did to end its bond buying program. According to the ECB, the decision about when to end the program will depend on the performance of the economy. The added demand for bonds from central banks around the world has helped push down yields. Although no mention was made about the timing of the end of the bond purchases, these comments caused investors to reduce their expectations for additional stimulus from the ECB, which was negative for both stocks and bonds.|
|The labor force participation rate rose to 62.9%, up half a point from a year ago. Average hourly earnings, an indicator of wage growth, matched expectations and were 2.6% higher than a year ago.|
|The most significant economic report next week will be Retail Sales on Friday. Consumer spending accounts for about 70% of economic output in the U.S., and the retail sales data is a key indicator. The JOLTS report, measuring job openings and labor turnover rates, will come out on Wednesday. The minutes from the September 17 Fed meeting also will be released on Wednesday. These detailed minutes provide additional insight into the debate between Fed officials and have the potential to move markets. The next ECB meeting will take place on October 20. Mortgage markets will be closed on Monday in observance of Columbus Day.|

If you thought SEO was important in the past, then SEO in 2016 is going to be the most important marketing decision you can make for your business in 2016. In fact, SEO in 2016 is the only way your business is ever going to rank on Google and if you think your company can get by without implementing some sort of SEO, then you are mistaken.
As the digital space becomes more crowded with all businesses wanting to be on Google, the only effective way to be competitive and drive traffic to your website is SEO or search engine optimisation. Having been in this industry for more than 10 years I thought I would highlight some really competitive niches and industries that rely heavily on SEO and will continue to do so in 2016. These industries rely heavily on their Google rankings and need to be on page 1 to drive new sales leads, inquiries and their revenues. Without SEO, they simply would not exist.
The Travel & Tourism Industry: Websites such as Trip Advisor, Expedia, Webjet, Hotels.com, and all airlines, hotels, motels, travel booking sites (including booking.com, Trviago, Flipkey and Qantas) rely on their SEO rankings for their inquiries. Basically if they were not on Google they would not be getting any business. yes, they do advertise on other mediums, like TV and radio but this is strictly for branding purposes and getting their name out there to the public. It’s strictly to reinforce their brand and fuel public awareness. But, the most important thing for all these companies is Google. These companies live and die by their Google ranking and they pay a lot of money to SEO agencies to ensure that they are always on page 1.
Cosmetic Surgery: The health and beauty industry especially cosmetic surgeons all aim to have their main keywords ( liposuction, breast implants, weight loss surgery, vein treatments, lip / eye fillers, scar & acne treatments) all on page 1. This space is super competitive and in 2016 it’s not likely to get any easier. As this market becomes more and more crowded with more cosmetic surgeons opening up around Sydney and Australia, they are all going to want that coveted page 1 position. I know this because at SEO Sydney Experts I speak to many cosmetic surgeons who all say the same thing:’ we need to be on page 1 to grow our business’. Think about it. If you were looking for any of these types of treatments and did not know which cosmetic surgeon to go to, where would you start looking? The answer is Google.
We manage the SEO for a few well known Sydney based cosmetic surgeons and all I can tell you is that the number of monthly searches their websites are getting by being high on Google is incredible. For some keywords these surgeons are getting about 1000 unique visitors per month. This is absolutely amazing and this is why the reliance on SEO in 2016 is only going to grow. It’s these kind of statistics that really show how fantastic SEO can be for any business, including niches you probably would not have thought about.
Tradesmen: Local SEO in 2016 is going to be a fundamental must have for all tradies in 2016. If you are a plumber, electrician, carpenter, cleaners, builder, or even a engineer, you are going to want to have some type of presence on Google if you are going to ever have a chance of growing and building your business. I make a point here of highlighting the fact that most tradies only need local SEO. After all your local plumber in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney is really only going to want business locally.
For tradies SEO in 2016 is a MUST — where else are they ever going to advertise. Sure, they may do letterbox drops and adverts in the local paper, but nothing compares to the power and lead generation capabilities of Google. Just look the the Jims franchise to see how well they have dominated the tradies space on Google by using SEO to their advantage. This franchise is a great example of how a professional company has harnessed the power of SEO to build a great business model. Before you say: ‘Jims has a much bigger budget than our small business’, remember that local SEO is affordable and you should at least give it a try.
Serviced based businesses: Whether your an accountant, lawyer, barrister, doctor, optometrist, real estate agent, home loan broker, mortgage and finance brokers, basically any type of service that people may need, your service based website must have a prominent position on Google in 2016 and this is where SEO and the team at SEO Sydney Experts can really help. I cannot put enough emphasis on the virtues and benefits of an ethical SEO campaign especially for business that rely on Google.
SEO for Pharmaceuticals in 2016. As this space tightens up with overseas competition and more products entering the market, Pharmaceuticals are going to need a SEO strategy if their products are going to be prominent in the eye of the consumer. Pfizer, Nova Pharmaceuticals, Novartis, Johnson & Johnson, Pharmaxis, Bayer and Merck Sharp & Dohme all need some sort of SEO.
Let me explain this in a bit more details. Suppose your child has a bad flu and you want to do your research online before you go to the chemist. What SEO can do, is bring up Pharmaceutical companies websites that have products that relate to helping or curing the child’s flu. So if the mother types int he words: ‘ children’s flu help”, she is going to read the information on the first page of Google and this is where the major pharmaceuticals want to position their brand and products. Without this exposure, they will not sell their products. Without SEO they will never ever get to page 1 of Google and this is only going to get harder in 2016.
SEO for eCommerce and large retailers websites If you sell anything online and rely on Google, like most eCommerce sites do, then SEO is a must. Look again at all the major eCommerce websites such as Harvey Norman, Bing Lee, Kogan, David Jones, Daily Deals sites etc. They all have 1 thing in common and that is they want to sell as many products as they can online and the best way to facilitate this is SEO. In 2016 as more eCommerce sites are launched and the race to sell more products heats up, the need for an aggressive SEO campaign is mandatory.
If you want to sell fridges, dishwashers, 2nd hand goods, microwaves, fitness products, baby products, clothing, fashion, toys, machinery, even toasters you better start thinking about your SEO and the kind of company you want to partner with.
This leads me to my next point; how to find the right type of SEO agency in 2016? Choosing the right agency is going to be more critical than ever, moving forward into 2016 you better make the right decision or you are going to get absolutely smashed by Google.
By simply doing an online search and typing in the words SEO you will find heaps of companies. My suggestion is to look for those that are ranking organically and those that have a solid track record. For heavens sake never ever use any type of SEO company that tries to lure you by offering guarantees or pay on performance. These scammers are becoming more prevalent and this trend in 2016 will grow.
As Google tightens its ranking algorithm the need to partner with an SEO agency that will only implement ‘ white hat’ SEO is the only way your business will ever rank in 2016 – you have to take my word on this because over the last 12 months I have seen really great businesses get penalized by Google due to bad and out dated SEO techniques being implemented. These once prosperous companies are literally on their last legs because their websites gone. It’s vanished and so are all the new leads and sales inquiries.
In conclusion if you intend to commence and SEO campaign in 2016 or have been working with an agency and are simply unhappy with the results, make 2016 the year that you commit to working with an ethical and trusted SEO provider. | <urn:uuid:cac772c8-b7c0-4a22-b408-c39ebcb166eb> | CC-MAIN-2019-43 | https://www.seosydneyexperts.com.au/seo-in-2016-your-business-cannot-be-without-it/ | 2019-10-24T02:12:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-43/segments/1570987838289.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20191024012613-20191024040113-00347.warc.gz | en | 0.964392 | 1,666 |

*Some of you are probably saying, “16/96khz, wtf??” Well Audacity was actually set to 24bit. I did not know, however, that Audacity does not actually record in TRUE 24 BIT, at least not in Windows. Since somebody brought this to my attention, I’ve zoomed in on the individual samples and seen that its true — Everything I recorded using Audacity is actually in 16-bit, albeit in 96khz sampling… Still sounds pretty damn good though, and this pressing is very full, punchy, and dynamic. Since this album is locked in my vault in the Kayman Islands, I can’t rerecord the audio anytime in the near future, so this will have to do.
Biography by Ron Wynn
A seminal funk ensemble, the Fatback Band made many great singles through the ’70s and early ’80s, ranging from humorous novelty tunes to energetic dance vehicles and even occasional political/message tracks. The original lineup featured drummer Bill Curtis, trumpeter George Williams, guitarist Johnny King, bassist Johnny Flippin, saxophonist Earl Shelton, and flutist George Adam. Synthesizer player Gerry Thomas, saxophonist Fred Demerey, and guitarist George Victory were integral parts of the group during their peak years. They began recording for Perception in the early ’70s, and had moderate luck with “Street Dance” in 1973. They moved to Event in 1974, and while funk audiences loved such songs as “Wicki-Wacky” and “(Are You Ready) Do the Bus Stop,” they didn’t generate much sales action. Their first sizable hit was “Spanish Hustle” in 1976, which reached number 12 on the R&B charts. They shortened their name to Fatback in 1977, and landed their first Top Ten R&B hit with “I Like Girls” in 1978. Their 1979 single “King Tim III (Personality Jock)” is widely considered the first rap single in many circles. But their biggest year was 1980. They scored two Top Ten R&B hits with “Gotta Get My Hands on Some (Money)” and “Backstrokin’,” their finest tune. Fatback kept going through the mid-’80s, landing one more Top 20 hit with “Take It Any Way You Can Want It” in 1981. They were backed by the female vocal trio Wild Sugar in 1981-82, and Evelyn Thomas also provided the lead vocal for “Spread Love” in 1985, their last song for Spring. Fatback also recorded a pair of LPs for Cotillion in 1984 and 1985.
This album is a solid listen of classic Fatback. The first side is all-killer-no-filler funk and soul joy for the ears. There is even a reference to the mythical Bertha Butt of Jimmy Castor fame if you listen closely… The first time I heard Jimmy King sing “Baby Doll” I found his voice kind of hard to get used to — he sounds like he’s 17 years old (maybe he was?) and the low parts are sort of out of his range — but the chord changes and the groove are so GOOD that its impossible not to like it, and eventually you realize his voice is just perfect. The second side doesn’t quite hold up, with the instrumental tracks seeming uninspired compared to those on the first, and the unfortunate inclusion of a cover of Sam & Dave’s ‘Soul Man’, which isn’t terrible but also just not that interesting. Oh and the first side features the song “Fatbackin’ ” which has a classic break in it, been sampled a bunch of times. | <urn:uuid:7ff91c9f-7cf7-49f4-8e07-5c899363022e> | CC-MAIN-2020-05 | http://flabbergasted-vibes.org/2009/10/31/fatback-band-people-music-1973-viny/ | 2020-01-27T00:31:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-05/segments/1579251694071.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20200126230255-20200127020255-00132.warc.gz | en | 0.948985 | 1,058 |
The Japanese imaging and optical manufacturer Canon has unveiled a new multipurpose video camera which can shoot crystal clear video in the dark! Yes, you read it right. It is actually a night vision camera.
The camera dubbed ME20F-SH can shoot videos with a maximum ISO of over 4,000,000! This is tremendous, considering the fact that high end digital cameras can shoot at 6,400 ISO max. According to Cannon's press release, the camera is capable of shooting 1080p video at a minimum subject illumination of less than 0.0005 lux. This may appear pretty geeky stuff to you. But a guy from Petapixel can help you out. He writes, "A full moon on a clear night is about 0.27 to 1.0 lux, and 0.0001 lux is a moonless, overcast night. The camera can capture high-quality images of things the human eye cannot see." Crazy stuff!
What makes this camera unique?
The other night vision cameras out there use Infrared illumination to focus on the object and thereby rendering the video in black and white. This on the other hand is able to capture Full HD videos in true colours!
Time to see, what others can't!
This thing seems unreal, and Canon has already laid out a myriad of possible real world applications, including nighttime surveillance and security, cinematic production, reality television, and nature/wildlife documentaries. What's more, because of the camera's design, Canon boasts that it can be "easily incorporated into existing infrastructures and systems to provide high-quality video capture even where subjects might not be seen with the naked eye."
But, what's the technology used?
The company explains, "The ME20F-SH camera's CMOS sensor has pixels measuring 19 μm square3, which is more than 5.5 times the surface area of the pixels on the CMOS sensor featured in select top-of-the-line interchangeable lens cameras4. Furthermore, the sensor's pixels and readout circuitry make use of Canon proprietary technologies to achieve both reduced noise and exceptionally high sensitivity on subjects with a minimum illumination of less than 0.0005 lux.
This multi-purpose camera allows users to discern subjects under even some of the dimmest lighting conditions, such as environments lit by artificial illumination or under a moonless night sky. Furthermore, similar to Canon's Cinema EOS System of professional digital cinematography cameras, the ME20F-SH camera includes Canon Log and Wide DR, which make possible a wide dynamic range, delivering high-image-quality video results across a range of illumination environments, from low- to brightly lit conditions."
Nevertheless this new technology wasn't discovered overnight. Rather it required two years of rigorous development to develop this piece of art. It goes without saying that this gem of a device will cost you a dime - $30,000. The camera is set to go on sale from December, this year. | <urn:uuid:a790183e-728e-440b-b340-d834aeafe135> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.gizbot.com/camera/news/canon-night-vision-camera-launched-capable-recording-hd-video-in-dark-027082.html | 2016-10-26T13:17:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988720945.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183840-00362-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.918769 | 607 |

However, for every success like BBC’s quiz, there are many more failures, including terrible quizzes that have fallen flat.
