Tepe Strengthens Lead at BIG EAST Championship|
April 29, 2013
CINCINNATI – Senior David Tepe (Liberty Township, Ohio/Lakota East) of the University of Cincinnati men’s golf team scored a 3-under par 69 for the second consecutive round to take a two-stroke lead after two days of competition at the BIG EAST Championship at Reunion Resort in Orlando, Fla. After two rounds, Tepe has a total score of 69-69=138 to lead the field of 60 competitors. The Bearcats finished the day with a score of 298-299=597 to tie for eighth.
Tepe’s two scores of 69 are his lowest of the spring season and his best single-round score since carding a 68 in the final round of the Marshall Invitational on Sep., 11, 2012. He is on track to earn the best finish of his career after finishing second at a tournament during his junior season. The senior also recorded six birdies on the day, besting his round-one total of five.
“Today was another solid round for David Tepe” said head coach Doug Martin. “He is very much in control of his emotions and his game. His experience certainly has been a key factor during the last two rounds. He is a great manager of the game.”
Freshman Emerson Newsome (Hoschton, Ga./Mill Creek) and sophomore Jared Howard (Dublin, Ohio/Jerome) also produced solid second round scores for the Bearcats. Newsome hit an even par to bring his total to 75-72=147 and put him in a tie for 16th place. Howard hit 2-over for a two-day score of 76-74=150 to tie for 29th position.
Sophomore Michael Wolf (Cincinnati, Ohio/Moeller) and freshman Adam Millson (Union, Ky./Cooper) each hit a 12-over 84 during the second round. Wolf is tied for 55th with a 78-84=162 and Millson is tied for 58th with a 81-84=165.
“From a team standpoint, today was a very frustrating round” said Martin. “We were in a position for a good round and couldn’t come up with a fourth score. We had three very solid rounds from Tepe, Newsome and Howard. Tomorrow is a new day and we will need an entire team effort.”
Tepe’s lead grew from one stroke after round one to two strokes following the completion of round two. He leads USF’s Chase Koepka who is in second with a 70-70=140. Ryan Gay of St. John’s (70-71=141), Curtis Loop of Georgetown (77-66=143) and Trey Valentine of USF (72-71=143) round out the top-5 individuals.
USF leads the team competition with a score of 290-287=577 after two rounds. Louisville (297-282=579) and St. John’s (298-283=581) also place in the top-3 while two-time defending champion Notre Dame sits in fourth (288-296=584).
The Bearcats will begin action in the final round of the BIG EAST Championship on Tues., April 29. All players will tee off from hole No. 10 between 8:50 and 9:30 a.m. | <urn:uuid:28497c1f-0f60-4f8c-903b-6b8bf6ccb955> | CC-MAIN-2015-06 | http://www.gobearcats.com/sports/m-golf/recaps/042913aad.html | 2015-01-26T21:11:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-06/segments/1422122191023.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20150124175631-00221-ip-10-180-212-252.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.962135 | 724 |
The two-part special shows how Bruce's family is coming to terms with the major change in his life and how they continue to support and love him throughout the journey. In the first part, Bruce addressed the concerns of his children and his ex-wife Kris Jenner months before he revealed himself as a woman in his recent sit-down interview with Diane Sawyer.
The first part was filled with revelations, such as Kim sharing that she saw Bruce in a dress 12 years ago. At the time, she ran so he wouldn't know she saw him, and the only person she told was her sister Kourtney.
Kim also spoke candidly in the first part about her family's reaction to Bruce's transition, "I think Bruce is afraid to let us down. We want to understand his struggle. We want to learn about it, relate to it in some way," she said. "I think what hurts us is when we hear something is changing and happening and we don't know about it. We want to be in the loop."
The final part airs tonight at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
Editor's note: As Jenner has not yet said that a new name or pronouns should be used, ETonline will follow GLAAD's guidelines and continue to refer to him by his current name and male pronouns. | <urn:uuid:ba20be7b-54cd-4064-a2c0-72cc76ce2b3f> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.etonline.com/news/164715_bruce_jenner_admits_to_stealing_kim_kardashians_clothes | 2022-01-20T01:35:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320301670.75/warc/CC-MAIN-20220120005715-20220120035715-00240.warc.gz | en | 0.993587 | 270 |
A pair of Victorian entranceway doors,
with three moulded panels to each side of each leaf, the obverse painted,
The building was commissioned to replace the mid-19th-century Kensington Vestry Hall in Kensington High Street, a site previously occupied by the Kensington National School.
The new building, which was designed by Robert Walker in the Italianate style, was built by Braid and Co. and was completed in 1880.
The design involved a frontage of seven bays facing onto Kensington High Street; the central section of three bays featured a doorway with stone surround and canopy on the ground floor; there were tall windows with integrated oculi interspersed with Corinthian order columns on the first floor and a large carved pediment and flagpole above. It went on to become the headquarters of the Royal Borough of Kensington when the area secured Royal borough status in 1901.
After the council moved to Hornton Street in 1977, the old town hall closed and was partly-demolished on the instructions of the Leader of the council, Nicholas Freeman, “in controversial circumstances” involving an impending conservation order, in June 1982. Although demolition was temporarily halted, by the time that happened, the main frontage and the interior had been so badly damaged that what remained had to be completely cleared in 1984. The Royal Fine Arts Commission deplored the actions of the council as “official vandalism” and the Kensington Society predicted that the council would be “completely condemned” for their actions. A journalist writing in The Times recorded the council as being “deeply shamed for the example it had set to other listed-building owners”.
These doors were salvaged from that demolition. | <urn:uuid:bbc94310-427e-407e-bfae-ebbe260a9b85> | CC-MAIN-2021-25 | https://www.lassco.co.uk/product/a-pair-of-victorian-entranceway-doors/ | 2021-06-24T16:24:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-25/segments/1623488556133.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20210624141035-20210624171035-00072.warc.gz | en | 0.976471 | 358 |

I’ve been around the ‘PR block.’ I’ve worked in a communications and public relations capacity in a variety of industries, building tremendous wealth and results: television, hi-tech, environmental, state and federal governments. With service from a junior to a SVP, I’ve hired a number of PR firms, fired a few more, worked at a couple, and operate one with great success. And I’ve learned to see what literally smells. Here’s my down-and-dirty top 6 signs your PR firm is failing you – all indicators you ought to check your checkbook and consider checking in somewhere else.
6. Double Billing
If your relationship with your PR firm is such that incidental or incremental charges can be billed directly to your corporate credit card, you need to check your monthly statements from the PR firm and compare them with your credit card statements.
One would think this to be the last reason to critically examine a PR firm, but from experience, I’ll tell you it’s relevant. I’ve seen this form of double billing happen and I’ve blown loud whistles. If you’ve approved Google Ads or Pandora buys (or anything similar) and permitted the PR firm to direct those charges to your credit card, you should re-evaluate.
5. People are Crying, Literally
If you’ve met with your PR firm’s representative and staff and wondered why some of their eyes are cloudy and the mascara is running, wonder no more. If you thought some on this team have been crying it’s likely because they have been. I’ve seen it. I offered the tissues.
Notwithstanding human dignity, your PR firm should never be so worried or frightened over results so as to, literally, cry. This can exist when the firm oversells its capabilities and you can learn whether this is evident if you’ve cozied up with your PR firm’s representative or point of contact. You should also ask yourself whether you bought something from someone who has ‘disappeared’ from the PR firm’s landscape… then ask why… which brings me to my next point.
4. Selling Services No One Can Provide
If you’re souring on your PR firm and you’ve expressed this, beware of promises made by the firm’s representative. The firm can only do what the firm can do.
If your firm is hot into quote and photograph inclusion in major publications and you’re thinking social and digital, don’t be fooled. Know your PR team and know that if what you’re asking for isn’t currently provided, you’d better ask who will provide it. And ask who the firm is presently providing the services for… which brings me to my next point.
3. Lying About Clients
If your firm boasts this current client list, for example:
But the reality looks more like this:
…you should do more than some checking. If the clients are published on the PR firm’s site, ask the firm to provide contacts for verification. And don’t think this false reality lies only with ‘small’ firms.
2. Lying About Staff
Yep. It happens. Don’t trust websites and similar collateral. If your PR firm outlines a staff or a team of people, ask the firm for a face-to-face meeting with your special team and confirmation they’ll be working for you, on your account.
PR firms that succeed in earning your trust will exemplify a combination of skills and abilities: traditional PR earned media placement, social media buying + analytics, digital capability and crisis communications.
1. No Results
Assuming you’ve given your PR firm an ample amount of time to turn the tide and gain results, and assuming you have a service or product worth its salt – and your PR firm has confirmed their beliefs in you and your product – you need to walk away when there are no demonstrable results.
When to walk away is determined by you and your contract, but remember results aren’t necessarily sales, for if that was your mission you’d have hired a marketing firm or paid for advertising. Yet if you’ve been convinced of the plan laid out by your PR firm and, well, still nothing in the way of results… it’s time for firing.
I’ve seen all of this happen. And I’ve shaken my head. Don’t shake yours. Ask the right questions and get the right answers. | <urn:uuid:0a0d5a3a-5289-4f6c-824a-0287954b1a19> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.ryandeal.com/top-6-signs-your-pr-firm-is-failing-you/ | 2021-12-05T02:50:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964363134.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20211205005314-20211205035314-00537.warc.gz | en | 0.934844 | 968 |

Asaba—MEN of the Delta state police command have arrested a five-man gang along Patani/Ughelli road with dynamites and Ak 47 rifles.
State police command’s spokesman, Mr. Charles Muka who confirmed the incident said that policemen on patrol duty successfully dislodged the gang before they could strike. According to him, “police command has recovered 16 assorted rifles seized from five members of the gang terrorizing Patani /Ughelli road users.
“On 24th February 2010 at 3p.m. along Patani /Ughelli road, the Storm Team while on patrol stopped Audi car (registration number withheld) and recovered 1 AK 47, 5 dynamites, 6 magazines, one 9 single barrel shot guns, 2 double barrel shot guns, 218 live ammunition, and 5 cartridgesâ€.
Muka added that suspects (all names withheld) are presently helping the State Criminal Investigation Department in their investigation.
Relatedly, robbers have in the recent past continued to lay siege on Asaba/Benin highway, dispossessing passengers of their valuables in the recent past. The latest operation took place by Onicha-Ugbo axis of the highway in which many passengers in the Lagos-bound luxury bus were robbed. | <urn:uuid:38c1afeb-c9f6-4a2f-a13a-37db46797f86> | CC-MAIN-2017-34 | http://www.vanguardngr.com/2010/03/police-arrest-robbery-gang/ | 2017-08-23T04:21:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-34/segments/1502886117519.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20170823035753-20170823055753-00638.warc.gz | en | 0.955969 | 286 |
District attorneys (DAs) are required to hold a Juris Doctor degree, in addition to passing a state bar exam. Working to prosecute criminal offenses, DAs must either be elected or appointed by the government.

District attorneys are responsible for reviewing evidence in criminal cases and determining whether cases should be brought to trial. Eligibility to become a district attorney requires a legal education and state licensure as an attorney. After building legal experience, potential district attorneys can seek appointment or election in their districts and typically serve 4-year terms, but the length can vary between jurisdictions.

|Other Requirements||State bar exam|

Career Info for District Attorneys
District attorneys (DAs) are either elected or appointed by the government to prosecute criminal offenses. Other duties DAs may have include educating the public and law enforcement officials about crime prevention, providing job-related legal advice to state officials, working with the state legislature on revising or creating legislation and training and advising local law enforcement about investigation procedures and filing proper charges. Depending on the jurisdiction, they could have hundreds, or even thousands, of other employees working under them, including attorneys and administrative staff.
Salary and Job Outlook
According to PayScale.com, the median salary for district attorneys was $71,213 per year as of 2016. In 2015, most lawyers earned from $55,870 to over $187,200 per year, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), meaning that, on average, district attorneys could earn less than other types of lawyers.
Although data specifically pertaining to job prospects for district attorneys isn't readily available, the BLS predicted that jobs for lawyers would increase 6% from 2014-2024, which is about as fast as average for other jobs during this period. There's stiff competition for jobs, and the BLS indicates that candidates can increase their job prospects through a willingness to relocate and get licensed to practice in another state.
Since district attorneys are first and foremost lawyers, they're required to follow a rigorous educational path before applying for state licensure as attorneys. Almost every state requires that individuals complete a high school diploma and a 4-year college degree, as well as earn a Juris Doctor (J.D.) from an ABA-approved law school, before sitting for the state bar examination and applying for licensure as attorneys.
According to the American Bar Association, there's no one bachelor's degree program that individuals are required to complete to enroll in law school. Common majors include English, philosophy, history, economics and political science, which combine general studies requirements with core and elective major courses.
Specific course requirements vary between law schools, but all law schools offer programs designed to prepare students to pass the state bar exams and become licensed attorneys. Some foundational courses that law students might take include civil procedure, constitutional law, criminal law, legal writing, torts and property law. Schools may allow students to tailor their studies by choosing electives or specializations in criminal law, which can be beneficial to aspiring district attorneys. In addition to coursework, students often participate in legal externships to gain hands-on experience.
After graduating from law school, students are required to pass their state's bar exam to become licensed to practice law. Some states also require that aspiring attorneys pass a judicial ethics exam or multistate performance test. In addition to passing the required examination(s), an aspiring attorney typically has to pass a state bar review of his or her character. Most often, the bar exam must be taken in each state where the lawyer seeks to practice, though many states have reciprocity agreements. These agreements permit lawyers who meet certain requirements, which may include some number of years of experience as a practicing attorney and passing a test on state-specific laws, to practice in a different state without sitting for a separate bar exam.
A district attorney is elected or appointed for a set term, typically 4 years in duration, depending on the jurisdiction. It is the DA's responsibility to determine whether a criminal case should be brought to trial once they have reviewed the evidence for the case. They hold law degrees and must pass their state's bar exam and meet any other examination requirements their state has. | <urn:uuid:6b47f780-97c8-4b21-aea7-ec10f2a1a4a0> | CC-MAIN-2019-04 | https://study.com/articles/District_Attorney_Career_Info_and_Education_Requirements.html | 2019-01-19T08:46:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-04/segments/1547583662863.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20190119074836-20190119100836-00027.warc.gz | en | 0.959724 | 1,001 |
I’m a Runner and I Love Donuts
For those that know me personally, you know that I love running and I love donuts. Contradiction? Perhaps, but life is full of contradictions and is simply too short just to eat salads all of the time. We don’t have too many vices in our house. I do have a bit of a sweet tooth and donuts in particular are a favorite of mine. Glazed, chocolate frosted, maple bacon, vanilla creme filled and so on – I haven’t encountered a donut that I don’t like.
Nutritional Value of Donuts
At it’s most basic level, a donut (sometimes spelled doughnut) is simply a fried dough confectionary most often made from flour, water, eggs, milk, sugar, oil/shortening, and various flavors. The dough itself is usually either cake or a yeast-risen type. Donuts are often topped with various flavorings. Some filled donuts are injected with various flavorful cremes or jellies. Somehow the previous description doesn’t quite do the donut justice, however.
The caloric value of a donut can vary wildly depending upon size and composition. For planning purposes, I generally assume most donuts are 250 calories. Filled and topped donuts have more calories. Smaller donuts have less. The “benchmark” standard Original Krispy Kreme donut has 190 calories. See the nearby picture for the nutritional label as provided directly from Krispy Kreme.
A donut obviously doesn’t have much protein, unless you’re going for a bacon-topped donut (yum). Yes, it has lots of sugar but most don’t have any cholesterol and very little sodium. The fat content is quite high, with the average donut supplying up to 25% of your recommended daily value of saturated fat. In short, a single donut is not as bad for you as many other processed food items. On the other hand, it’s hard to eat just one donut and that’s where folks get into trouble.
Motivation Value of Donuts
Like most families, we love donuts. When we’re on family vacation we seek out small “mom & pop” donut shops. Oftentimes, I will make sure we get in our daily run to “earn the calories” for a donut. We’re not ashamed to admit that donuts can be a great motivator. Let me ask you honestly, would you rather have donuts or bananas at the finish line of your next race? Know what I mean?
During this past summer we included some donut runs before, during, and after some of our races! At the Tupelo Marathon I (Joe, not Mary Catherine) enjoyed a Shipley’s do-nut (that’s how they spell them) the night before the race, only to find that they had Shipley’s at one of the rest stops! After the Chattanooga CityTrail 30K we made a stop at the legendary Julie Darling donuts on Chattanooga’s north shore. Donuts and running can go together.
How do donuts fit into a diet? Well, truthfully they don’t. If you’re on a strict diet and you have a cheat day, then a single donut could be your cheat food and motivation to get through the week. A single donut shouldn’t derail your diet. Since you’re only going to cheat with one donut, just make sure it’s a really good one!
Donuts and Running
It appears I’m not the only runner who loves donuts. We’ve noted that several donut-themed races have started to pop up around the country. The original Krispy Kreme Challenge occurs in February of each year. Each runner has to run five miles and eat a dozen donuts. Yikes! Other races feature variations in which each runner has to run a certain distance and consume a certain number of donuts. I’m going to have to sign up for one and write about it sometime.
I have a confession to make, I didn’t always use restraint when it came to junk food, particularly donuts. In a previous blog post about Ironman training I established the fact that I had a pretty bad diet. I erroneously thought that if I supercharged my metabolism, then “when the furnace is hot enough, it’ll burn anything”.
I once did a 25-mile run with friends, then proceeded to eat an entire dozen justifying the calories as follows:
- 25 miles x 100 calories/mile = 2,500 calories burned
- 12 donuts x 190 calories/donut = 2,280 calories consumed
Well, the math was correct but it didn’t account for the sugar rush afterward. Following that was the sugar crash and headache – comparable to the worst hangover you can imagine. Your body just can’t process that much sugar at once. I don’t recommend the “eat whatever you want” diet.
Donuts as health food? Well, I guess that depends on how you define health. Obviously you won’t find a lot of nutritional benefit from donuts, but nutrition isn’t the only component to health. How about mental health and cultivating a general sense of feeling good? Yup, donuts do that for me. I’m going to go out on a limb and say that upon that basis then donuts can be a health food!
I need to add one important point to this blog post. Joe wrote and approved it’s contents. Mary Catherine is a good sport about it, but does not share in Joe’s love of donuts. Although she will eat a donut on rare occasions, it’s mostly Joe and the kids who consume the fried confectionaries. During the Tupelo Marathon, she ate fruit at the aid station that was also serving donuts. Her loss and my gain!
Favorite Donut Shops
If you’re in the Atlanta area, then we highly recommend two local shops:
- Sublime Donuts near Georgia Tech on 10th Street. They are known for very creative donuts and regularly top lists of favorite local donut shops.
- Revolution Donuts near Decatur is another great donut shop just as good as Sublime. They also feature very creative donuts as well as great coffee.
Even though it’s a national chain, it’s hard to go wrong with a box of “hot & now” glazed donuts from Krispy Kreme. Our family likes yeast-based donuts more than cake-type donuts.
What are some of your favorite donut shops?

What would you do if everything you painted came to life? In this cautionary folktale rom China, a young artist is given a magical paintbrush in a dream and is instructed to paint from his heart. He goes on to amaze onlookers as his artwork becomes real and leaps from the paper. When news of this spreads, the young boy finds himself in the hands of the emperor, whose interest in the paintbrush is driven by gred. He commands the boy to paint him a room full of riches. Find out how the young artist stays true to the purpose of the paintbrush in this animated tale from China. | <urn:uuid:5ea55c51-7fc9-48cc-8d16-4e7f96a72fb4> | CC-MAIN-2017-13 | http://www.worldcat.org/title/china-the-magic-paintbrush/oclc/163566452?lang=zh-cn | 2017-03-24T17:14:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-13/segments/1490218188213.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20170322212948-00308-ip-10-233-31-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.782274 | 442 |
A year ago, a little known 2-year-old European invader owned by Sheikh Mohammed’s Godolphin stole the $2 million Grey Goose Breeders’ Cup Juvenile (gr. I) at Santa Anita Park.
Sent off at 30-1 in a field of 13, Vale of York
stalked the pace and got up by a head over the previously undefeated and favored Lookin At Lucky
in a thrilling finish. Of the 14 races at the 2009 World Championships, Vale of York’s shocking win may have been the biggest upset of the entire weekend.
It was the second straight victory for Goldolphin and trainer Saeed bin Suroor in the BC Juvenile. They also won with favored Midshipman
in 2008 at Santa Anita
The site has changed from Santa Anita to Churchill Downs for the 2010 Breeders’ Cup, but Godolphin is hoping lightning will strike a third time in the Juvenile, this time with another colt that will likely sneak into the race at a big price. Though he is undefeated in three starts, Biondetti
was pegged as a 12-1 longshot in the Nov. 6 Juvenile, thanks to a number of high-profile contenders such as the New York-based Uncle Mo
, Boys At Tosconova
, and Stay Thirsty
, and California invaders Jaycito
and J P's Gusto
Like Vale of York, Boindetti will enter the Breeders’ Cup off the group I Gran Criterium Stakes at one mile on the turf in Italy. But while Vale of York finished runner-up in that race, Biondetti scored by a half-length for his third victory in as many starts. A son of Bernardini
—Lyphard’s Delta, by Lyphard, the bay colt broke his maiden in August at Newmarket on turf and then won an allowance tilt on the Kempton Park synthetic surface in September. The Juvenile will be his first start on dirt.
With his two starts on turf, it was assumed that Biondetti would contest the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf (gr. IIT) earlier on the Nov. 6 card, but after cross-entering both races Team Godolphin decided that the BC Juvenile on dirt would be the better choice.
Input for that decision came from Biondetti’s trainer Mahmood Al Zarooni, a former assistant to bin Suroor who was promoted to a head Godolphin trainer earlier this year. Though bin Suroor was the head trainer of Vale of York, Zarooni helped develop the colt.
“(The decision was) because of Bernardini and the breeding for the dirt, and because he’s a group I winner on turf,” the 34-year-old Zarooni said. “The Juvenile is a grade I and the Juvenile Turf is a grade II. We would rather have a grade I."
Biondetti’s jockey will be Ahmed Ajtebi, who rode Vale of York to last year’s upset. He also has no concerns about the horse running on dirt.
“A good horse will handle any track and he has already won on three different tracks,” said Ajtebi, who has been aboard Biondetti for both of his wins.
Biondetti was bred in Kentucky by Palides Investments N.V., and was purchased for $350,000 at the Fasig-Tipton Kentucky 2009 select yearling sale. He will break from post 1 in the Juvenile. | <urn:uuid:a977f362-734a-43c6-b687-53402d95e244> | CC-MAIN-2017-04 | http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/articles/139642/biondetti-gives-godolphin-another-juvy-hope | 2017-01-18T09:33:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-04/segments/1484560280242.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20170116095120-00504-ip-10-171-10-70.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.9662 | 761 |
It’s unlikely you’re going to come across too many documentaries this year with a yarn to spin as tangled and twisted as Tickled. Following the investigations of New Zealand pop culture journalist David Farrier, it is essentially an expose of a particular media company who specialise in online videos of Competitive Endurance Tickling (CET). And yes, that is as weird as it sounds. From stumbling upon a bizarre video of the ‘sport’ in action, Farrier and his co-director Dylan Reeve quickly find themselves prodding at the dark underbelly of a seedy practice, uncovering unnerving power games and trying to unravel an elusive mystery.
The path is one that just gets continually stranger from the moment Farrier chances upon his first video, through email harassment and homophobia from the employees of Jane O’Brien Media, to threats, law suits, and young men too scared to talk about their experiences. The film seems to adopt the same tonal quality as the tickle videos themselves; initially funny, as the athletic young men burst into laughter as they lie restrained and helpless, but almost immediately morphing into something far more awkward and ominous. For the first few minutes, CET seems like harmless, if odd, fun. It is too shown to be something far more insidious. As Farrier picks up the threads of the undeniably fascinating narrative, Reeve accompanies with camera in hand. This footage inter-cuts with talking heads and clips from the videos themselves, but remains largely flavourless as it sticks close to Farrier and rarely attempts to flex its visual muscles.
What matters is documenting their story – threats aimed at Reeve’s young family make that a necessity – but this vice-like grip on the specifics of the case do little to help the film breath. Strong documentaries transform the local into the universal, great ones do that whilst turning a niche, laughable subject into something with pathos. Tickled never really manages to do either of these things. As it progresses various themes emerge, ranging from the corrosive power of idle wealth, to the kinky aspects of physical domination, to the internet’s role in both facilitating the tickle videos and in allowing Farrier to investigate them. Instead, Tickled motions towards these discussions, whilst abandoning them in favour of the next lead.
Even with the young men who will talk – or to Richard Ivey whose own tickle video website is positively salubrious by comparison. As the case reaches its climax, Farrier and Reeve never seem to find the hook that would elevate an incredibly specific story into something more affecting. The result is a conventional and functional expose that would perhaps have been more at home on television than in cinemas, but nonetheless manages to tell a riveting and almost unbelievable story.

Politics, well the GOP has just hit a whole new level of crazy.
The liberal court found Him (Jesus) guilty of false offenses and sentenced Him to death, all because He changed the hearts and minds of men with an army of twelve. Never before and not since has there ever been such a perfect conservative. For over 2,000 years the world has tried hard to erase the memory of the perfect conservative, and His principles of compassion, caring and common sense.”
Laugh, long and hard. Just like political satirist are this election year since they have to do nothing because the GOP Teatard candidates are writing the jokes for them. | <urn:uuid:a7468432-7c8b-4a35-846a-eec9d1febb03> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://www.back2stonewall.com/2011/10/herman-cain-batshits-bachmann-it-liberals-killed-jesus-christ.html?shared=email&msg=fail | 2020-09-28T03:37:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401583556.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20200928010415-20200928040415-00190.warc.gz | en | 0.964489 | 134 |
Dana, I may have confused you with my post. I meant to say that the message from HW indicated that current HW Savings Club membership fee ($7.95 monthly) was going to continue to be charged to memebrs who were transferred to the Passport to Fun Club (although the regular memebrship fee for that club is supposedly $14.95 monthly.)

Behind the Screens with Joshua Maloni
Most people recognize actor Stephen Root for his iconic role as Milton, the oft-abused, stapler-loving paper-pusher in the cult classic "Office Space."
"I'm currently in Georgia at the moment to see a friend of mine in a play and that's pretty much what I get stopped for," Root says. "It's OK. It's like the little movie that continues to be seen by people. Every couple of years they'll discover that. I think it really speaks to mid-America. It just stays current."
Post-Milton, Root has become quite the versatile actor. He's logged a considerable amount of time as a voice-over artist - including 13 years as Bill on "King of the Hill" - he worked five seasons on "NewsRadio," and has had recurring roles in "Justified," "True Blood," "24" and "Pushing Daisies."
Tonight, Root guest stars on "Fringe." He plays one half of a husband-wife scientist duo alongside his real-life wife, actress Romy Rosemont.
"They're a husband and wife that are both scientists and have something going on in this universe, not the other one," Root says. He can't offer too many details, but says his character comes unhinged as things in his life go awry. "It's something you need to go ahead and see. But, we're both scientists trying to accomplish something."
Root says the opportunity to work with Rosemont was an unexpected delight.
"It came through - actually Romy had went to Northwestern with one of the executive producers, and we were actually at a party and talking to him," he says. "They were saying, 'Would Stephen be interested in doing a 'Fringe' (episode)?' And Romy popped up, 'Well, yes, if you invite me.' And strangely enough, Mr. (Jeff) Pinkner a while later said, 'Yes. Please. Come on and do the show.'
"We were just more than thrilled to be able to work with each other and come on a quality program."
"It was a great opportunity to be able to work with her," Root says. "We have been able to do readings and things like that for films, but never in front of a camera. It was tremendous to be able to work together. I think the first day that we worked was just the two of us and the director and the crew. It was a joy. It was tremendous."
Root says he loves sci-fi, and has "been a sci-fi guy from way back, including comics in the '60s and sci-fi from the time I was 13 years old. It's always fascinated me, whether we're in a situation where, 'Are there multiple universes? Is the nature of time itself - is it possible to travel back through time?' That kind of stuff has always fascinated me. I'm happy to be addressing it a little bit in this show."
Root and Rosemont didn't share many scenes with "Fringe" stars Anna Torv, Joshua Jackson and John Noble, which is sort of unusual.
"We actually didn't get to work with a lot of the cast," Root says. "It was mainly us and Josh. Anna we saw a little bit. It was kind of an insular episode for us, which was good in that there was limited involvement. It's kind of a stand-alone thing."
The "Fringe" episode titled "And Those We've Left Behind" airs Friday, Nov. 11, at 9 p.m. on FOX. | <urn:uuid:e9e741d5-f6a8-416a-b368-60063d738c6d> | CC-MAIN-2014-52 | http://www.wnypapers.com/news/article/current/2011/11/11/104284/excuse-me-stephen-root-romy-rosemont-guest-stars-on-fringe | 2014-12-21T15:53:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-52/segments/1418802771592.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20141217075251-00123-ip-10-231-17-201.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.991607 | 758 |

Dravet syndrome is a rare and severe form of epilepsy that appears in early infancy. It is characterized by frequent, lengthy, and treatment-resistant seizures that can be triggered by warm weather, fevers, or light.
Affected children often develop physical or cognitive impairments. In rare cases, symptoms may improve after age six.
Sodium channels are an important part of the correct functioning of the brain and nervous system. When the sodium channels are defective, the activity of the nervous system is impaired and this is what is thought to cause the seizures in Dravet syndrome.
There is currently no cure for the condition but the seizures can be controlled with a ketogenic diet and through epilepsy medications, although these treatments are not always effective. Gene therapy is a new approach that is being developed as a potential treatment for Dravet syndrome.
What is gene therapy?
- prevent the mutated gene in the patient’s body from producing the disease-causing protein;
- replace the mutated gene with a functional gene;
- increase the production of a functional protein from a gene that is already in the patient’s body;
- target other genes responsible for helping a certain protein to fold properly.
Gene therapy is used in laboratory animals for research, or to create genetically modified crops or cells that are able to produce molecules or enzymes for medications. Its use in humans as a potential therapy is still in early phases of development.
Key challenges of gene therapy include finding vectors that can transport the desired gene efficiently to the cells and ensuring that the therapeutic gene is placed in the correct part of the genome.
Gene therapy for Dravet syndrome
Dravet syndrome and other epilepsy disorders that are caused by mutations in the SCN1A gene pose challenges for gene therapy. The SCN1A gene is too big for many vectors, so gene replacement therapy is, for the moment, not possible. And because Dravet syndrome is caused by a deficiency in the correct protein, gene suppression alone is not a viable approach either.
Individuals with Dravet syndrome typically have a second healthy copy of the SCN1A gene, so the most promising avenue for gene therapy seems to be a combination of two approaches: increasing the production of the healthy gene and suppressing the mutated gene. It is not yet known how this can be done.
Research on gene therapy in Dravet syndrome specifically and on SCN1A, in general, is in the very early stage of development.
A study to explore gene therapy for Dravet syndrome headed by Simon Waddington and Rajvinder Karda at University College London’s Gene Transfer Technology Group was funded through a medical research grant in August 2017.
The project’s goal is to develop modified virus vectors that will be able to deliver a healthy copy of the SCN1A gene to affected neurons in mouse models of Dravet syndrome. This project is currently in progress.
The gene transfer group previously demonstrated effective gene therapy for epilepsy in rats. Positive results from this study were published November 2012 in the scientific journal Science Translational Medicine.

We believe in the Holy Spirit.
“If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”
Even though people are basically sinful, we do a lot of good things. All normal parents care for their children and do their utmost to give them what they need. And our God is the perfect Father; everything that He gives to His children is good (James 1:17).
Now the Holy Spirit is the greatest of God’s ‘good gifts’ – for God is giving us nothing less than Himself. This gift is promised to every single person who believes in Jesus, wherever and whenever they live (Acts 2:38,39). It is the gift of the Spirit that marks us out as the people of God (Ephesians 1:13,14), that makes us God’s children (Galatians 4:6,7), and gradually transforms us into the image of Christ. | <urn:uuid:c6bb228f-4314-47af-b608-e5bcd679c99d> | CC-MAIN-2018-09 | https://deborahsbiblestudies.wordpress.com/2016/05/04/the-greatest-gift/ | 2018-02-24T21:32:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-09/segments/1518891815951.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20180224211727-20180224231727-00750.warc.gz | en | 0.958543 | 217 |

Some of the best meals I've ever eaten have consisted of corn tortillas topped with beef, pork or fish: Tacos that come slathered with salsa, christened with a squeeze of lime and typically cost less than a turn of the handle on a modern gumball machine.
Straightforward Mexican street food is hard to beat, especially when you consider the cost-to-enjoyment ratio. It's a difficult proposition, successfully repackaging and repositioning a street-food experience. Brick-and-mortar restaurants that attempt it almost always lose points on the cost/enjoyment scale.
Savvy business owners know in order to attract and keep customers they need to somehow replace the value pricing with a creative culinary twist, exceedingly stellar service and/or an inspiring dining atmosphere.
T/ACO, an urban taqueria, attempts the challenging task by offering a variety of snazzed-up street tacos. The dimly lit restaurant is small, with the open kitchen visible from the bar and dining area. A communal table with room for 10 takes up a third of the room, encouraging you to share space with fellow taco partakers. If you stretch your imagination, the serape-style wallpaper, cowhide ottomans and a collage of spaghetti-western posters assembled on the wall might give you an inkling that a bandito gunfight could potentially break out at any moment in this border town-style cantina.
Moseying up to the bar, I ordered a beer from the concise list of Mexican options. The courteous server poured me a Pacifico and left me to choose from a short menu of five starters and nine tacos.
I opted to start with guacamole ($6) served with house-fried chips; the guac was good, real darn good, vividly green, gently limed and fresh. Next, a bevy of tacos arrived on a wooden platter accompanied by a small vessel of heavenly black beans. Ever so smoky and topped with Cotija cheese, these beans, I was told, were cooked inside avocado leaves for added flavor.
Five different taco options -- carnitas, chicken, veggie, shrimp and snapper -- all came on hand-rolled but slightly under-griddled masa tortillas.
My overwhelmingly favorite taco was the pork carnitas. Crisp and tender pork pieces, diced fresh pineapple, cilantro and caramelized onion harmonized together but then sang out with an addition of fresh lime.
The chicken taco tantalized my taco-tasting buds with a chipotle marinade that had the heft of a mole and similar rich sweet notes. A creative and thoughtful vegetarian taco option featured oven-roasted spaghetti squash, raw poblano pepper slices, toasty pepitas, cilantro and red onion.
Although T/ACO's mezcal-marinated grilled shrimp taco was fresh, I found it lacking in seafood flavor, and next time, I would opt instead for one of the other meat options.
The kitchen just about nailed the red snapper fish taco, though -- zesty chipotle mayo, paper thin-sliced radish, lively shredded cabbage, scallion and red onion were exactly the toppings I'd hoped for. The only misstep to this assemblage of fish taco achievement was the slightly overcooked snapper.
If T/ACO were positioned soley as a quick service yet foodie-caliber taco joint, I could see this being a successful example of street-food sales savviness; a downtown watering hole in which to toss back a cold cerveza and scarf down a few handcrafted tacos before heading back to the office.
If you order the taco special -- two tacos and a Pacifico beer, or three tacos -- for $7.50, you can reasonably enjoy a taco snack or light lunch for about $10, including tax and tip.
However, eyeing the tequila-based cocktail menu ($11-$12 margaritas) and a la carte taco pricing ($3.50-$4.50 per taco) gives the impression that T/ACO is also hoping to capitalize on the same segment of people who frequent Centro, Aji or Zolo.
Personally, I'd be hard-pressed spending $12 on one of T/ACO's margarita concoctions, as neither the ambience nor the vibe at T/ACO warrants this type of splurge. No matter how good their T/ACO Cosmo -- a chest hair-growing dose of El Tesoro Platinum and Patron Citron with a splash of cranberry -- may be, there's no sexy, loungy space in which to sip here. The tone isn't set for the type of crowd the prices suggest T/ACO's looking to lure come sundown.
Don't get me wrong. T/ACO's tacos are G/OOD, but I'd easily need six of their modestly sized tacos for dinner. Two $ 7.50 specials (both for me) and one cocktail would be $27, before tax and tip -- and with no appetizer. That's a large pile of beans!
But, hey, if you've got some spare pesos burning a hole in your pocket, are looking for tasty tacos despite a high cost/enjoyment ratio, I say vamos, vamos ahora! For my dinero, however, I'd stick with the taco special for a light lunch and consider alternate venues for dinner and a marg. | <urn:uuid:71eb13ba-da4e-4531-a30e-daee60706748> | CC-MAIN-2014-35 | http://www.dailycamera.com/lifestyles/restaurantreviews/ci_21802427/mylocal.dailycamera.com | 2014-08-21T05:00:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-35/segments/1408500814701.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20140820021334-00388-ip-10-180-136-8.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.926149 | 1,238 |
It was sent to me by my pal Bob and I thought I would share it with you. Like me, you will no doubt disagree with some parts of it, but the sentiment is what roused my interest.
Here you go:
"Dear Madam Chancellor,
I first came to Germany as a boy student aged 13 in 1952, two years before you were born. After three extended vacations with German families who spoke no English I found at the age of 16 and to my pleasure that I could pass for German among Germans.
In my 20s I was posted as a foreign correspondent to East Germany in 1963, when you would have been a schoolgirl just north of East Berlin where I lived.
I know Germany, Frau Merkel, from the alleys of Hamburg to the spires of Dresden, from the Rhine to the Oder, from the bleak Baltic coast to the snows of the Bavarian Alps. I say this only to show you that I am neither ignoramus nor enemy.
I also had occasion in those years to visit the many thousands of my countrymen who held the line of the Elbe against 50,000 Soviet main battle tanks and thus kept Germany free to recover, modernise and prosper at no defence cost to herself.
And from inside the Cold War I saw our decades of effort to defeat the Soviet empire and set your East Germany free.
I was therefore disappointed last Friday to see you take the part of a small and vindictive Frenchman in what can only be seen as a targeted attack on the land of my fathers.
We both know that every country has at least one aspect of its society or economy that is so crucial, so vital that it simply cannot be conceded.
For Germany it is surely your automotive sector, your car industry.
Any foreign-sourced measure to target German cars and render them unsaleable would have to be opposed to vetopoint by a German chancellor.
For France it is the agricultural sector. For more than 50 years members of the EU have been taxed under the terms of the Common Agricultural Policy in order to subsidise France’s agriculture. Indeed, the CAP has been the cornerstone of every EU budget since the first day.
Attack it and France fights back.
For us the crucial corner of our economy is the financial services industry. Although parts of it exist all over the country it is concentrated in that part of London known even internationally as “the City”.
It is not just a few greedy bankers; we both have those but the City is far more. It is indeed a vast banking agglomeration of more banks than anywhere else in the world.
But that is the tip of the iceberg. Also in the City is the world’s greatest concentration of insurance companies.
Add to that the brokers; traders in stocks and shares worldwide, second only, and then maybe not, to Wall Street. But it is not just stocks.
The City is also home to the “exchanges” of gold and precious metals, diamonds, base metals, commodities, futures, derivatives, coffee, cocoa… the list goes on and on.
And it does not yet touch upon shipping, aviation, fuels, energy, textiles… enough. Suffice to say the City is the biggest and busiest marketplace in the world.
It makes the Paris Bourse look like a parish council set against the United Nations and even dwarfs your Frankfurt many times.
That, surely, is the point of what happened in Brussels. The French wish to wreck it and you seem to have agreed. Its contribution to the British economy is not simply useful nor even merely valuable.
It is absolutely crucial. The financial services industry contributes 10 per cent of our Gross Domestic Product and 17.5 per cent of our taxation revenue.
A direct and targeted attack on the City is an attack on my country. But that, although devised in Paris, is what you have chosen to support.
You seem to have decided that Britain is once again Germany’s enemy, a situation that has not existed since 1945.
I deeply regret this but the choice was yours and entirely yours. The Transaction Tax or Tobin Tax you reserve the right to impose would not even generate money for Brussels.
It would simply lead to massive emigration from London to other havens. Long ago it was necessary to live in a city to trade in it.
In the days when deals can flash across the world in a nanosecond all a major brokerage needs is a suite of rooms, computers, telephones and the talent of the young people barking offers and agreements down the phone.
Such a suite of rooms could be in Berne, Thun, Zurich or even Singapore. Under your Tobin Tax tens of thousands would leave London.
This would not help Brussels, it would simply help destroy the British economy.
Your conference did not even save the euro. Permit me a few home truths about it. The euro is a Franco-German construct.
It was a German chancellor (Kohl) who ordered a German banker (Karl Otto Pohl) to get together with a French civil servant (Delors) on the orders of a French president (Mitterrand) and create a common currency.
Which they did. IT was a flawed construct. Like a ship with a twisted hull it might float in calm water but if it ever hit a force eight it would probably founder.
Even then it might have worked for it was launched with a manual of rules, the Growth And Stability Pact. If the terms of that book of rules had been complied with the Good Ship Euro might have survived.
But compliance was entrusted to the European Central Bank which catastrophically failed to insist on that compliance.
Rules governing the growing of cucumbers are more zealously enforced. This was a European Bank in a German city under a French president and it failed in its primary, even its sole, duty.
This had everything to do with France and Germany and nothing whatever to do with Britain.
Yet in Brussels last week the EU pack seemed intent only on venting its spleen on the country that wisely refused to abolish its pound.
You did not even address yourselves to saving the euro but only to seeking a way to ensure it might work in some future time.
But the euro will not be saved. It is crumbling now. And since you have now turned against my country, from this side of the Channel, Madame Chancellor, one can only say of the Euro: | <urn:uuid:8c78abb2-f7b3-4a51-b022-3760d818aca3> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://captainranty.blogspot.com/2011/12/open-letter-to-frau-merkel.html | 2017-06-29T12:30:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128323970.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20170629121355-20170629141355-00554.warc.gz | en | 0.972248 | 1,334 |

The last couple of years sleeplessness hasn't been an issue (which let me take a moment to say YAY). Instead fatigue has come to rule and now, while I still don't ever seem to be able to get enough sleep, I'm getting heaps of it. Without the structure imposed by core business hours, I will sleep more than 10 hours a day. Every day. Regardless of what those days may hold. It's easy to recognise that I just need more rest than most, but so far has been impossible to accept as I don't wake feeling rested and renewed. Sure, I really, really, really like sleep. Really. But this sleep is like fake sweetener, it does nothing for me, and fucked if I'm not mighty resentful at losing nearly half of the day to it. If I keep going like this, that's half my life gone. It already feels like there isn't enough hours in the day without sleep getting greedy.
Waffling on a bit. Brain is mighty woolly.
The night before last I just didn't sleep. At all. It wasn't anxiety driven, brain wasn't chewing over anything, heart wasn't stewing, had had a single cup of tea that morning, no sugar beyond the afternoon, easy exercise during the day. My body just didn't feel like powering down, and while I wasn't pleased to watch the small hours become larger hours, the frustration and annoyance that usually comes with sleeplessness didn't feel like playing, and mostly I just listened to podcast fiction between attempts to lie still and breathe slow.
Hell, I actually felt alright when my alarm went off, and the only reason I didn't go to work was because I knew the instant I got out of bed and started doing, that would change.
Fibromyalgia and RSI management requires sleep be respected. The meatsack relaxes in sleep in a manner that's near impossible to invoke while awake. The less sleep you get, the less time the nerves and muscles have to recuperate, the inverse result being that I simply get really fucking sore. And dumb. But mostly sore.
Fuck I'm waffling so much. So very dumb.
Anyway, I figured I'd sleep just fiiiiine last night, because my body's reaction to "not enough sleep" is "HIBERNATE FOR THE NEXT WEEK ALRIGHTY!!!!!!!!!"
And I didn't.
Annnnnnd it's actually really weird. This is not even close to the default behaviour of my body for the past few years, and I'm well and truly out of practice in managing sleeplessness, if my old methods would even apply.
And. And. And. I honestly can't remember what the point of this post was. Other than maybe just leaving a record for myself? Um?
I think it might have been to do with the fact that if I'm letting my body sleep as much as I want I lose too many hours being unconscious, but if I'm not getting enough sleep then I haven't gained any time at all because my mental faculties are – herein demonstrated – shitclogged and I'm so full of aches and fatigue all I can really do is sit and stare at nothing in a daze before gently keeling over onto a pillow that never feels comfortable and still staring at nothing in a daze.
I think it might have been something to do with betrayal, in that my default attitude toward my body is resentment, fury and contempt that it sabotages my capacities and abilities across the spectrum, and then this, whatever this is, comes along like a rogue planet as if to say, "You thought I was talented before, now check this out!"
I think it might have been better crafted. Nuanced. Actually a smooth, interesting reading experience. But this is the exact result of all this body betrayal. A whole lot of flibbertigibbet.
Man, I feel like I'm gonna chunder.
Have a kind day, yeah. | <urn:uuid:52ff852e-be0c-4fd9-8b37-b9d510bada63> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://silence-without.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html | 2017-11-22T20:28:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806660.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20171122194844-20171122214844-00641.warc.gz | en | 0.978243 | 829 |

A statue of Diana, Princess of Wales will be erected in the grounds of Kensington Palace at the request of her sons, The Duke of Cambridge and Prince Harry.
The Princes have convened a committee to commission and privately raise funds for the creation of the statue. This committee will advise on the selection of the sculptor and will work with Historic Royal Palaces on the statue's installation in the public gardens at Kensington Palace.
The Duke of Cambridge and Prince Harry said:
"It has been twenty years since our mother's death and the time is right to recognise her positive impact in the UK and around the world with a permanent statue.
"Our mother touched so many lives. We hope the statue will help all those who visit Kensington Palace to reflect on her life and her legacy."
While the sculpting of the statue will begin soon, it is not currently possible to advise when it will be unveiled. It is hoped that this will occur before the end of 2017.
Further announcements on the statue's sculptor and design will be made in due course. | <urn:uuid:449158e1-44df-4898-a41b-c3f14fc40405> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://platinumjubilee.royal.uk/duke-cambridge-and-prince-harry-commission-statue-diana-princess-wales | 2022-01-25T22:58:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304876.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20220125220353-20220126010353-00375.warc.gz | en | 0.953974 | 218 |
"For us, the idea of having a work that has contradictions is very important—when, in affirming something, it includes itself and attacks itself. How can you put together all of these things that have nothing to do with each other? You use glue! Glue can be an idea, a word. You can use an ideological glue."
"I think there’s always a melancholy in the work, though everyone has always thought of my work as being very happy, or jaunty, or- what’s that word I get- an explosion in a glitter factory. There’s always something that seemed carefree, easygoing. I can hardly remember that. I mean I can have a good time and I can be lighthearted. But there’s another quality that will get in, especially with the latest works."

Mjolnir Gets a New Owner in the First Teaser Trailer for Taika Waititi's 'Thor: Love and Thunder'
Natalie Portman returns to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in this Australian-shot fourth 'Thor' film, which hits cinemas in July.
April 19, 2022
For most folks, starring in one of the best new shows of 2022 so far would be the highlight of their resume for the year. But, of course, most folks aren't Taika Waititi. After getting streaming viewers swooning over warm-hearted pirate comedy Our Flag Means Death, he's about to unleash a little movie called Thor: Love and Thunder upon cinemas. And, based on the just-dropped first teaser trailer for his second contribution to the Marvel Cinematic Universe as a director, the goofy vibes, old-school rock tunes and delight that is Chris Hemsworth firmly in comedic mode are all back this time around.
In fact, if you watched Thor: Ragnarok, laughed along heartily, lapped up the looser mood and instantly wanted more of Waititi's take on the MCU, you're in luck — because he also co-wrote the script for Thor: Love and Thunder with Jennifer Kaytin Robinson (Sweet/Vicious). In the trailer, that results in a comic look at Thor (Hemsworth, Extraction) dealing with the aftermath of Avengers: Endgame by reassessing his future and opting for retirement. But, if that was all there was to the story, it wouldn't be a Marvel movie.
As shot in Australia, Thor: Love and Thunder sees its namesake come up against Gorr the God Butcher (Christian Bale, Ford v Ferrari), a galactic killer with a world-changing plan: eradicating the gods. So, Thor has to give up his search for inner peace, and call upon help from King Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson, Passing) and Korg (Waititi, doing triple duty) — and his ex-girlfriend Jane Foster (Natalie Portman, Vox Lux), who is now in possession of Mjolnir.
Thor: Love and Thunder marks Portman's return to the MCU after appearing in the first Thor flick back in 2011, but sitting out the rest. Given the path her character has taken, it's easy to see why she's back. As set to the sounds of Guns 'N Roses' 'Sweet Child 'O Mine', the trailer makes the most of her new ownership of the god of thunder's magical hammer — understandably.
Also popping up in the initial sneak peek for the fourth Thor flick: the Guardians of the Galaxy crew (as played and/or voiced by Chris Pratt, Pom Klementieff, Dave Bautista, Karen Gillan, Bradley Cooper and Vin Diesel), and a lightning-bolt wielding figure who it's safe to expect is Russell Crowe (Unhinged) as Zeus.
When it hits cinemas Down Under on Thursday, July 7, following Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness in early May, Thor: Love and Thunder will mark the 29th MCU movie overall. And, it mightn't be the last big-screen release Waititi has for us this year, either, with his documentary-to-feature adaptation of soccer story Next Goal Wins also in the pipeline.
Check out the teaser trailer for Thor: Love and Thunder below:
Thor: Love and Thunder opens in cinemas Down Under on Thursday, July 7.

Legendary rock band Led Zeppelin
is rearranging its tracks since lead singer Robert Plant
is struggling to hit high notes.
The band has been rehearsing the songs in lower key as the 59-year old Plant
is struggling with his voice, which has become deeper, online edition of the Sun reported.
A source revealed, "He and guitarist Jimmy Page have had a few heated discussions about the upcoming gig. Jimmy is a bit rusty and Robert has been struggling with high notes. To avoid any embarrassing vocal wobbles with the world watching, they decided it would be best to transpose the songs in a lower key.
The band will perform at London's O2 arena Dec 10 for the first time after 19 years.

Lesson 28: TESLA Motors and TOYOTA / VIDEO Script
Al, you’ve heard of Tesla Motors right?
Yeah, sure, they’re the start-up company who developed and sold a terrific but very expensive electric roadster. Oh, I heard that they had an IPO at the end of June and saw their stock go up about 40% on the first day of trading.
Yes, they did, but did you know that in May Toyota agreed invest $50 million and partner with them to develop and manufacture a new electric sedan at what was previously the joint venture GM/Toyota factory in the San Francisco area?
No, I have to admit that I didn’t hear about that before Tesla went public in late June, but the Tesla roadster is truly innovative, stylish and fast. If the new Model S sedan can be made and sold at a reasonable price, the Tesla-Toyota tie-up might be a success.
I have seen pictures of the new sedan on the Tesla site and it looks fast just standing still! You know Al, I think the key to success in this new electric car business is the battery and drive train technology and I think the innovation Tesla has introduced is what impressed Toyota.
No, doubt John, to make their lithium battery Tesla strung together 6,831 cylindrical cells that are typically used for notebook PCs. By using something which is nearly a commodity instead of developing a completely new battery with special cells, they kept the cost down.
Yeah, but Toyota was quoted in a Business Week magazine article on July 15th as saying that the Tesla battery with all its connections should fail but it doesn’t, so they want to use it and the Tesla drive train in a RAV4 car to test it rigorously and find out why it doesn’t fail.
I see. To Toyota who has over $43 billion in cash reserves, $50 million is just a small venture capital investment. If they fail to get much in return, they won’t be out much and if they learn something valuable, it will have been well worth it.
Yeah Al, no sweat for Toyota but Tesla also needs to try hard to learn from Toyota!
Well, GM obviously didn’t learn enough so I hope Tesla will do a lot better.
I hope so too!
- What did Al mention Tesla had done at the end of June?
- He said Tesla had bought a Toyota plant.
- He mentioned that they had had an initial public offering and their stock had risen about 40% on the first day of trading.
- He said that Tesla had cancelled their plan to have an IPO and decided to keep 40% of their stock.
- He said that Tesla had introduced an electric roadster and sold the design to Toyota.
- What did John say about Toyota and their old factory in the San Francisco area?
- That Toyota had agreed to partner with Tesla by making a $50 million investment and working with them to develop and manufacture a new Sedan in the old GM/Toyota factory there.
- That Toyota wanted to buy the Tesla battery and drive train and produce it for Toyota cars in the old GM/Toyota factory there.
- That Toyota had extra money to invest and also wanted to get Tesla to buy the old factory in the San Francisco area.
- That Toyota wanted to buy the Tesla roadster and produce it at the old GM/Toyota factory in the San Francisco area.
- What did John say he thought was the key to success in the electric car business?
- The key to success is to find a good partner who is innovative and hungry to team up with a large automaker.
- The key to success is the weight of the battery pack and the development of a good drive train.
- The key to success is the battery and drive train technology.
- The key to success is to use batteries that are readily available for high volume products.
- How did Al respond to John’s comment about Toyota’s $50 million investment in Tesla?
- He said that to a cash-rich company like Toyota, $50 million is small investment and they won’t be out much if it fails and could benefit a lot if it succeeds.
- He said that Tesla could really use the money having lost so much money so far.
- He said that Toyota was just fishing for some new technology to revive its own electric car program.
- He said that Tesla had better be careful of Toyota and use the money wisely. | <urn:uuid:b8f026bc-6740-4c75-8063-a84342c549c8> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | https://smithweb.co.jp/freetoeic-lesson28/ | 2019-05-20T15:31:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232256040.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20190520142005-20190520164005-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.823345 | 1,336 |
I first became aware of Jerry DeWitt as he became the first person to “graduate” from The Clergy Project, a collaboration between many atheist and humanist organizations that provides a private forum for members of the clergy looking to quietly pursue a way out of their positions, or simply for moral support. I have friends in The Clergy Project and have applied myself, in fact the last post here on RagingRev was from one of it’s members that has since died.
Jerry’s story has brought a great deal of publicity to The Clergy Project; but I always felt that there was more commotion and rhetoric, one-liners, and hubbub than there should be – a common theme in the meme driven atheist community of today. I’m more interested in Jerry’s story though, which is why I’m so glad to have the opportunity to read his book: Hope After Faith – An Ex Pastor’s Journey from Belief to Atheism.
Hope After Faith
In his book, the formerly Reverend Jerry Dewitt walks us through his 25 year journey beginning as a 17 year old United Pentecostal (aka Oneness Pentecostalism) evangelist in and around the small town of DeRidder, LA. As his story progresses and various tragedies strike both Jerry’s family and his parishioners he reveals glimpses of his doubts as they slowly surface and as he tucks them away again and again.
Jerry spends time with a number of the different sects within the United Pentecostal movement that will seem foreign to those whom are not well versed in the UPC subculture – both with the Branhamites, and eventually with the Goodwinites – both very obscure groups with behaviors that former apologists like myself would have considered Cult-like. While I’ve seen other reviewers complain that the details of these travels between churches and organizations seem unnecessary – to me they reveal the most often misunderstood revelation about devout Christians: They are always searching, always praying, always hoping to find the Truth – they want it so badly that they’ll search to the ends of the earth to find it, or they’ll pick up and move at a moments notice to join a cult because they believe god has told them to do so.
These details tell us why Jerry eventually became an atheist – because he couldn’t give up the search for what was true. My story is precisely that, though it looks different – the terms are the same, the goal is the same.
I identify a lot with Jerry – in a lot of ways that I regret. You see, we are both stubborn men – I think you’ll recognize that when you read Hope After Faith yourself. When I was in the ministry I would have done anything I felt like I was being called to do, like Jerry, without the consideration of my wife – I would have been inconsiderate and stubborn and I would have convinced my much wiser wife to go along with it even though she would have had the intuition to warn me against it. Even today, like Jerry, I fight against leaving my small Georgia town where I’ve grown up and learned to love based on the principal that I want to fight and change what I see wrong with it rather than tuck tale and run. My wife, like Jerry’s ex-wife, is wise enough to do what’s best for the family and seek opportunities elsewhere – I’m finally, after 7 years now, learning to listen to her more. I think, sometimes, when we see ourselves in other people we recognize our flaws better – that’s what I’m taking away from this book the most.
The bulk of this text – about 230 pages or so – discuss DeWitt’s time in the ministry, his family life, the financial struggle of being in the ministry when you aren’t the pastor of a 1000+ member church, and the sheer torture it can be to seek earnestly for the truth of god unadulterated by the supposed “men of god” that you are supposed to look up to. It isn’t until the last 40 pages that atheism even really comes up – but that’s really the point – it’s the journey that matters . It’s the journey and the heart for ministry that means that Jerry DeWitt will spend the rest of his life providing support for people making the same transition that he has endured and is still enduring. The experience of Jerry not knowing how to pray for someone for the first time, an experience I remember myself like it was yesterday, is the thing that will ensure that he will forever be able to provide a comforting embrace to a fellow doubter struggling to express his questions and fears about his faith.
DeWitt’s story is clearly not over, but the book leaves us on a hopeful note despite 25 years of very difficult trials. My hope is that this book will serve two purposes: First; I hope that it serves to educate those in our community (of non-believers and Humanists) that believe that every pastor lives the high life – bankrolling on the faith of dubious believers with nice cars, vacations, multiple homes, and tailored suites. There are people in the ministry, like Jerry DeWitt and many others with sincere intentions and love for humanity – that can be as easily defined as Humanists as you and I even though they may not know what the word means. These people deserve better than assumptions and pigeonholing – they deserve the chance to show you who they are, and they deserve your compassion and support so that they can realize their potential to meet you where you are. Finally, I hope that this text finds it’s way in the hands of other ministers and believers traveling the slow road of doubt because I know that it will mean so much to them to know that there is a life outside of the ministry and that there is a way out of a life of hiding who your convictions tell you that you are. I believe that Jerry’s name is a powerful tool to that effect, as it isn’t accompanied by any intellectual pretense – but one that is purely drenched in faith and familiarity with the struggles of ministry – and I believe this will mean more to those that understand the road and have traveled it than an intellectual argument from those whom have not.
There are a few issues with Hope After Faith that I’d like to discuss as well.
I think that since Jerry is from the very small world of the United Pentecostal Church he forgets that most of his readers will be entirely unfamiliar with this world – I have a slight advantage of familiarity with the UPC movement and some of the names, doctrines, and sects that set it apart from what one might call “orthodox” Christianity in America as a former apologist with a number of books on my shelf that cover the basic doctrines of the Oneness religion – but I feel like an introduction to the UPC organization would be beneficial to most readers considering that so much of the text is spent within the church. There are certainly some explanations, but one does not gather a working knowledge of the tenets of the faith that separate it from the rest of Christianity. This is one of the most controlling sects of Christianity and it almost sounded like your average Baptist church , I just wish that had been portrayed a bit better because I think it would have helped the reader understand the predicament of leaving, moving, and changing through the experiences within the faith more.
I worried that Jerry’s relationship with Richard Dawkins might have a negative effect on the way this book played out. Despite being a fan of Dawkins’ work on biology and his argumentation against creationism – I find that his approach to dealing with theists is generally disrespectful and overall unhealthy in the way that it represents our community. I was pleased to see that this was not the case, it was honest and still showed a loving concern for the church that had been left behind even though there was no love being shown toward him. I’d rather have Jerry DeWitt represent me when discussing the problems of Christianity than Richard Dawkins simply because Jerry DeWitt seems to understand that it’s easy to believe and that believing doesn’t make you a twat or any other pretentious sounding insult Dawkins is fond of.
I enjoyed this book. It spoke to me because I knew and have experienced a lot of the same emotions that Jerry described. I have prayed many of the same prayers that Jerry has prayed. It reminded me how fortunate I am that I was able to get out before I put 25 years into it – before I allowed my stubbornness and love for god to defeat the love I have for my wife and before I poured all of my talents into a life that so often defeats the best of men. Most of all, I think this book lays a groundwork for us to watch what becomes of good men like Jerry DeWitt to see what they can become when they’ve left a lifetime of devotion to god and entered a lifetime of devotion to humanity and how much better than can be – for them and for us. | <urn:uuid:19713aa7-db81-4d98-a5c7-f557c51a3090> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://ragingrev.com/2013/07/book-review-hope-after-faith-by-jerry-dewitt/ | 2019-07-20T22:24:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195526714.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20190720214645-20190721000645-00359.warc.gz | en | 0.980944 | 1,896 |
How did you come across the book?
It was a book that has been on my list because I’m really interested in Stoic Philosophy; I really like reading Plato and Aristotle and all that… and so I hadn’t read this one… and so I put it on the list!
So far, what perspective have you gained from this book?
Oh… that’s a tough one! A lot of… you know… practical ideas about the human condition are spoken about in this book and it’s really… well, one of the interesting perspectives is how universal it is, after thousands and thousands of years! You can pick up this book and realize, [bctt tweet=”Wow! Things haven’t really changed in the human psyche all that much! ” username=”cityreadsnyc”]So, that’s been my main take away and kind of using some of these lessons and concepts to inform my own life.
Would you recommend it, and if so, to who and why?
Oh… that’s a tough question… another one! These are good! Umm… I would recommend it if you’re looking into thinking deep and thinking about society… thinking about people… thinking about yourself… and examining it in a different lens, and kind of questioning the world around you. So, that’s who’d I recommend it to… anyone who’s looking for answers… or looking to ask more questions! | <urn:uuid:3e556173-ed6b-40a2-b52f-dc9e28a3e69b> | CC-MAIN-2020-05 | https://cityreadsnyc.com/2017/07/18/aristotles-nicomachean-ethics/ | 2020-01-19T13:04:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-05/segments/1579250594603.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20200119122744-20200119150744-00248.warc.gz | en | 0.934289 | 316 |
Prevent Hair Loss
Finasteride. Hair growth agent, and prostate treatment
Hair growth agent Finasteride is prescribed as against prostate enlargement and hair growth. It is a so-called anti-androgen. Anti-androgens inhibit the production of testosterone. In addition to positive side effects such as an increase in hair growth in baldness and a favorable influence on the flow of urine in prostate enlargement, there are also adverse side effects to this drug.
A hair growth agent is a means of which the hair will grow. Nowadays this really exists. Finasteride helps if men have an enlarged prostate and as a result can not urinate well. But it also has hair growth in balding men as an extra effect . (In lower dosage). This means that hair will grow again in bare spots on the head. The drug inhibits the production of the sex hormone testosterone. If men have too large a prostate, complaints such as difficulty urinating, dribbling and often small peeing can occur. It is also known as a so-called hair growth product under the name Propecia
Finasteride for prostate complaints
Enlarged prostate can already occur from the age of 30. It does not happen that often before that time. Finasteride ensures that the urine flows better again with a prostate enlargement. In a dosage of 5mg it has a favorable effect on a too large prostate, in a dose of only 1 mg it has a beneficial effect on hair growth in men.
Finasteride for hair growth
Finasteride is also prescribed by doctors for baldness to promote hair growth. The dosage is then 1mg, for example available under the name Propecia. The drug can also be bought online, but that is not recommended by general practitioners. It is better to use this medicine only in consultation with your own doctor.
Means against hair loss. Propecia
For male pattern baldness, especially at an early stage, Propecia is often given. Propecia contains about 1 mg of Finasteride. The dosage is therefore higher in the case of propane complaints, namely 5 mg. Then available under the name Finasteride. The operation is then different. The production of dihydrotestosterone is strongly inhibited by Finasteride, which reduces the size of the prostate. Propecia gives the hair a chance to grow again, often with good results.
Prostate enlargement phenomena
The prostate is at the bottom of the bladder, where the urethra comes out. The bladder is a sphere and at the bottom (like a balloon) there is an exit at the bladder, the urethra. The middle lobe of the prostate can swell under the influence of hormone exchange and pushes itself up, causing the discharge tube of the bladder to be pinched. The consequence or the symptoms of a prostate enlargement can be:
- difficulty emptying the bladder
- have trouble to discharge the urine (beam does not start)
- always feel pressure to urinate
- Prostate enlargement is a old age complaint that is common in men.
Finasteride, how does it work?
Dihydro-testosterone stimulates the prostate to grow. Dihydro-testosterone is a hormone. Finasteride has an inhibiting effect on the production of dihydro-testosterone from testosterone. If the prostate is too large, Finasteride ensures that the prostate becomes smaller again. As a result, the symptoms of urination decrease again. The urethra is no longer pinched and urine can flow better again. It takes a few months before Finasteride has the best effect. In order to treat a prostate enlargement, an alpha blocker is often prescribed first, because these work faster on the flow of urine. If alphablockers do not help enough, a doctor often chooses Finasteride.
Finasteride as a hair growth stimulant
Because hormones, which are responsible for the head of men becoming bald, are inhibited, the hair can start to grow again with the use of Propecia. Finasteride thus has the effect of a hair growth agent in men in low doses.
Baldness occurs because the hormone dihydro-testosterone weakens the hair follicles. Less hair is produced and the hair falls out. Propecia (Finasteride in low dosage) ensures that the hormone dihydro-testosterone can no longer inhibit the action of hair follicles, causing her to grow again in bald spots on the head. Especially at the crown, the effect can be very good. The hair is getting denser so that less scalp can be seen. With one man this has more effect than with the other.
Side effects Finasteride
Side effects that may occur with the use of this product may be: painful sensation in the testicles or chest, less sense in lovemaking, painful breasts or breast formation. In severe cases, chest tightness or a flushed face can occur. The risk of breast cancer can also increase. Always tell your doctor that you are using Finasteride. | <urn:uuid:903637c8-bc76-4d12-977b-c2408a6fd9c9> | CC-MAIN-2019-51 | https://sites.google.com/view/preventhairloss | 2019-12-12T03:33:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-51/segments/1575540536855.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20191212023648-20191212051648-00356.warc.gz | en | 0.942392 | 1,050 |

Authentic Ayurvedic texts mention 11 types of Shiro Roga (diseases in the head). Kaphaja Shirsha Shoola, which occurs due to vitiation of Kapha and Vata Dosha, is one of them. Chronic sinusitis is a chronic inflammation of the sinuses. It can be correlated with Kaphaja Shirsha Shoola. Decoction of Pitawakka Navaya consists of nine ingredients; these are: Bhoomyamalaka, Haritaki, Barangi, Chavya, Pippali, Salarka, Guduchi, Shunthi and Maricha. These herbs, which pacify vitiated Vata Dosha and Kapha Dosha, are used by traditional physicians in Sri Lanka to treat Kaphaja Shirsha Shoola (chronic sinusitis). However, no scientific studies have been conducted to evaluate the efficacy of Pitawakka Navaya in the treatment of Kaphaja Shirsha Shoola. Hence, this clinical study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of the decoction of Pitawakka Navaya in the treatment of Kaphaja Shirsha Shoola. Sixty patients suffering from Kaphaja Shirsha Shoola were selected and examined. These patients were randomly divided into two groups of 30 patients each. The first group was treated with 120 ml of decoction of Pitawakka Navaya twice a day for 14 days. The second group was treated with 120 ml of placebo twice a day for 14 days. After treatment, most of the patients’ symptoms were completely or partially relieved. In <10% of the patients, some symptoms were unchanged or aggravated. It is observed that the traditional decoction Pitawakka Navaya is beneficial for Kaphaja Shirsha Shoola (chronic sinusitis).

Authentic Ayurvedic texts mention eleven types of Shiro Roga (diseases in head). Kaphaja Shirsha Shoola, which occurs due to vitiation of Kapha and Vata Dosha, is one of them. Chronic sinusitis is a chronic inflammation of sinuses. It can be correlated with Kaphaja Shirsha Shoola. Decoction of Pitawakka Navaya consists of nine ingredients. They are Bhoomyamalaka, Haritaki, Bharangi, Chavya, Pippali, Salarka, Guduchi, Shunti and Maricha. These herbs, which pacify vitiated Vata Dosha and Kapha Dosha, are used by traditional physicians in Sri Lanka to treat Kaphaja Shirsha Shoola (chronic sinusitis). However, no scientific studies have been conducted to evaluate the efficacy of Pitawakka Navaya in treatment of Kaphaja Shirsha Shoola. Hence, this clinical study has been conducted to evaluate its efficacy.. Sixty patients suffering from Kaphaja Shirsha Shoola were selected and examined. These patients were randomly divided into two groups of thirty patients each. First group was treated with 120 ml of decoction of Pitawakka Navaya twice a day for fourteen days. The second group was treated with 120 ml of placebo twice a day for fourteen days. After treatment, most of the patients’ symptoms were completely or partially relieved. In less than 10% of patients, some symptoms were unchanged or aggravated. It is observed that traditional decoction Pitawakka Navaya is beneficial for Kaphaja Shirsha Shoola (chronic sinusitis).

An estimated 15% couples are infertile. In this male factor is 30%, female factor is 30%, both factors are 30% and idiopathic causes are 10%. Among them shukra kshaya [oligospermia] is the major cause. Infertility severely affects the couple in their Psychological harmony, Sexual life and social activity. So the qualitative and quantitative increase in sukra is the main purpose of this study.
The study was conducted with an open trial with randomised selection. Guduchyadi pippali yoga consists of Guduchi satva, pippali churna, Ela churna, Abraka bhasma, Loha bhasma and sita and it was given in 500mg tab form mixed with honey and ksheera as anupana. This drug has been given for 45 days and patient was asked to review in every 15 days with the help of subjective parameters from the patient and objective parameters from a laboratory the results were assessed.
The results are encouraging in both subjective and objective parameters. Among 30 patients 5 patients reported that their partner got conceived.
The sperm count and sperm motility are markedly improved. No side effects have been reported. Thus it finally noticed that Ayurveda has proper answer to male infertility which is caused by oligospermia. So the purpose of this study is fulfilled.
The present study has beenundertaken to evaluate the anti-inflammatory activity of two varieties of Pippali in acute and sub-acute experimental models of inflammation in albino rats. Four different market samples of each variety of Pippali were procured from different regions of India. The samples collected from South India which have given more extractive values were selected for screening of anti-inflammatory activity. Randomly selected animals were divided into four groups of six animals each. The test drugs were administered orally at a dose of 200 mg/kg and the activity was compared with standard anti-inflammatory drugs in both models. Among the two different test samples studied, it was found that Chhoti variety of Pippali suppressed inflammation of both acute and sub acute phase, while Badi variety of Pippali only of acute phase. Thus for the therapeutic utility, Chhoti variety of Pippali may be considered over the Badi variety.

Vamana Karma (therapeutic emesis) is the best therapy for the elimination of vitiated Kapha Dosha. In the present clinical practice Madanaphala (Randia dumetorum) is mainly used for Vamana Karma. Apart from Madanaphala, five other drugs, and in total 355 formulations are described in Charaka Samhita; one of them is Krutavedhana (Luffa acutangula) kalpa (formulations). Krutavedhana is specially indicated in Gadha (compact) Dosha condition like Kushtha (skin diseases), Garavisha (slow poison), and so on, for Vamana Karma. The present study aimed to observe the effect on Vamana Karma and by that its effect on Ekakushtha (Psoriasis). Krutavedhana Beeja Churna (seed powder) was given with Madhu (honey) and Saindhava (rock salt) as Vamana Yoga (emetic formulation), to compare it with Madanaphala Pippali Churna (seed powder). After the Sansarjana Krama (special dietetic schedule), Panchatikta Ghrita (medicated ghee) was given as Shamana Sneha (pacifying oleation). An average dose of Krutavedhana was 5.9 g. Krutavedhana could produce a good number of Vega (bouts), Pittanta Lakshana (bile coming out at the end of Vamana), and Pravara Shuddhi (maximum cleansing) in a majority of patients. Madanaphala is the best among all Vamaka (emetic) drugs, but Krutavedhana showed a similar to higher effect on Vamana Karma in terms of Antiki, Maniki, Vaigiki, and Laingiki
Shuddhi (cleansing criteria). Vamana Karma by Krutavedhana showed better relief in Matsyashakalopamam (silvery scale), Kandu (itching), and Rukshataa (dryness), while Madanapahala showed better relief in Krishnaruna Varna (erythema). After completion of the Shamana (pacifying) treatment, both the groups showed nearly the same effect on Asvedanam (lack of perspiration), Matsyashakalopamam, Kandu, Rukshataa, Krishnaruna Varna, and Mahaavaastu (bigger lesion).

Kaumarbhritya a branch of Asthanga Ayurveda deals with neonatal, infant and child health care. Multicentric studies conducted in various developed and developing countries have indicated that Infant Mortality Rate (I.M.R.) is very high in developing countries, and infection has been observed as the major cause. Immune system in neonates is not yet fully functional. Bala compound having the ingredients of
Atibala (Abutilon indicum Linn), Amalaki (Emblica officinalis Linn), Vidanga (Emblica ribes burn), Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia Welld Miers), Pippali (Piperlongum linn), Yashtimadhu (Glycyrrhiza glabra Linn), Shankhapuspi (Convolvulus pluricaulis Chois ), Vacha (Acorus calamus Linn), Musta (Cyperus rotundus Linn) and Ativisha (Aconitum heterophyllum wall) are Medhya as well as Rasayana drugs mention in Ayurvedic classics. ‘Bala compound” was tried in infants in the form of oral drops for a period of six months and result was assessed for serum immuoglobulins IgG, IgM, IgA for three months of interval of two follow ups (i.e., third and six month of infant). There is significant increase of immunoglobulins observed after six months administration of ‘Bala compoumd”
Dental caries is progressive destruction of enamel, dentine and cementum, initiated by microbial activity at the tooth surface. It is one of the major problems in dentistry. On the basis of clinical features, it can be compared with Krimidanta which is one among the eight diseases of tooth. In the management of Krimidanta, Krimighna, Vataghna and Ushna Veerya dravyas are to be used which can relieve the toothache and discoloration. In this study, the trial drugs used were Jatipatradi Gutika for Pratisarana and Yavanadi Churna for oral administration. In this study, the patients of Krimidanta (dental caries) were selected from OPD of Shalakya Department and allotted randomly in different groups. In Group A, the patients were treated with Jatipatradi Gutika for Pratisarana for 30 days. In Group B, the patients were treated with Yavanadi Churna orally and Group C patients were treated with combined therapy for 30 days. The clinical study has shown that combined therapy gives better results than individual therapies.

Vasa (Adhatoda vasica Linn.) is a well known and easily available drug in almost all the seasons. Easy availability of any drug gains popularity among physicians as well as pharmaceuticals and this is the reason why almost every Kalpana of Vasa is found described in the Ayurvedika text. The different dosage forms of Vasa like Kvatha, Avaleha, Sneha, and Sandhana have been used for the treatment of Shwasa Roga. A number of research studies have been performed on different formulations of Vasa and its effect on Shwasa Roga. Therefore, a review study has been carried out on the Vasa extract, Vasa Avaleha (prepared from Svarasa and Kvatha), Vasa Ghrita, Vasarishta, and Vasakasava on Shwasa Roga, to know which formulation is better. It was found in the review that Vasa Ghana, Vasa Ghrita (1), and Vasa Avaleha have shown good results on Tamaka Shwasa.

In clinical practice, Guna which are to be with Bhisak are mainly the Paradi Gunas which can also be called as Miscellaneous Gunas. As rightly quoted by Acarya Caraka, for getting success in the treatment Paradi Gunas are the best. The Sutra quotes “Sidhyupaya Cikitsayam” which means that Cikitsa i. e. Dhatusamya will be done mainly with the help of Paradi Gunas. Thus in this study an attempt was made to know the comparative effect of Haritaki and Saindhava lavana alone and Samyukta effect in Kaphaja Kasa. Three groups were made for proper evaluation of the therapy. In Group-A Haritaki Tablet 2 gm/ twice a day (500 mg tablet × 4), In Group-B Saindava Lavana Curna 2 gm/ twice a day and in Group-C Haritaki + Saindhava lavana Tablet 4 gm/twice a day (500 mg tablet × 8) was given. Results were assessed after 7 days with the help of a specially prepared proforma. The hematological, Urine and Stool investigations were carried out. In subjective and objective criterias, significant results were found in Group-C as compared to Group-A and Group-B. Based on the results, it can be concluded that the combined (Samyoga) effect of Haritaki and Saindhava lavana is much efficient than the single drug therapy.

Avipattikar churna, a poly-herbal formulation, is one of the popular ayurvedic formulations which is used for peptic ulcer diseases but the scientific documentation with regards to its effect for the indication is lacking.
Aims: This study was carried out to evaluate the anti-secretory and the anti-ulcerogenic activities of the churna and to compare its activity with that of ranitidine in a pyloric ligated model of rats.
Material and methods: Four groups of rats with 6 animals in each served as the ulcer controls, churna low dose (500 mg/kg), churna high dose (750mg/kg) and ranitidine (25mg/kg). The control group rats received only vehicle (2% (v/v) gum acacia), while the rats of the other groups received the respective dose of the churna or ranitidine which was suspended in the vehicle. The treatments were given twice a day, orally, for two days. After 1 hour of the last dose, pyloric ligations were performed and the rats were sacrificed for evaluation after four hours of the ligations. The gastric contents were collected and its volume, pH and acidity were measured. The numbers of ulcers and their lengths were measured which were used to calculate the gastric irritancy index and the curative ratio. The histological examinations of the gastric tissues were also performed.
Results: The churna, in both doses, significantly decreased the volumes of the gastric contents, the ulcer score, the length of the ulcer, the gastric irritancy index and pH increased as compared to those in the control group. The effects of the churna were comparable to that of ranitidine. The histopathological evaluation of the gastric tissue also supported the results.
Avipattikar churna has anti-secretory and anti-ulcerogenic effects which are comparable to those of ranitidine in peptic ulcer diseases.

Sandhigatavata is described under vatavyadhi in all ayurvedic classical texts. Osteoarthritis is the most common articular disorder which begins asymptomatically in the second and third decades and is extremely common by age 70. Here Matra Vasti (therapeutic enema) was given with Bala taila as Vasti is the best treatment for vatavyadhies. It has vatashamaka and rasayana properties. Indigenous compound drug containing Guggulu, Shallaki, Yastimadhu, Pippali, Guduchi, Nirgundi, Kupilu and Godanti was given in one group along with Matra Vasti. In this study, 33 patients of Sandhigatavata completed the treatment. Patients were randomly divided into two groups. Sixteen patients in Group-A (sarvanga Abhyanga-swedana + matravasti) and 17 patients in Group-B (sarvanga Abhyanga–swedana+ matravasti + indigenous compound drug). The results of the study indicate that the patients of both the groups obtained highly significant relief in almost all the signs and symptoms of Sandhigatavata.

Balacaturbhadrika churna has an important place in pediatric practice in Ayurveda. Millennia of use of this formulation bears testimony to its safety when used for prolonged duration in children. This prompted us to initiate a long-term, acute oral toxicity evaluation of Balacaturbhadrika churna in rats. The study was carried out by administering Balacaturbhadrika churna orally once only in a dose up to 2000 mg/kg. For long-term toxicity, Balacaturbhadrika churna was administered in doses of 450 and 900 mg/kg orally for 45 consecutive days. The effects of the drug on ponderal changes, hematological, biochemical and histological parameters were noted. The acute toxicity experiment showed that the drug did not produce any signs and symptoms of toxicity (or mortality) up to the dose of 2000 mg/kg. Long-term toxicity results showed that, even at higher dose of 900 mg/kg, Balacaturbhadrika churna did not affect the parameters studied, to a significant extent. The doses employed for these toxicity studies were several times higher than normal clinical doses of Balacaturbhadrika churna, hence the observed changes will probably not become apparent at therapeutic dose level.

The clinical study was conducted at the Out Patient Department of State TB Training and Demonstration Centre, S.R. Nagar, Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India, during June 2003 to December 2004. A group of 60 patients of PTB were included in the study and were divided into two equal groups. Both the groups were on the Directly Observed Treatment Short – course chemotherapy (DOTS) regime. The test group was given DOTS + Bhringarajasava (30 ml thrice a day) and the control group was only on DOTS. The study was to evaluate whether the addition of Bhringarajasava as Naimittika Rasayana (complementary drug) is beneficial in providing faster and better relief or not. Both subjective and objective parameters were considered for the assessment of results. Among the specific symptomatology, Amsaparsabitapah (pain in costal and scapular region), Kasa (cough), Jwara (pyrexia), Swasa (dyspnoea) and Bhaktadwesha (anorexia) were the symptoms manifested by all the patients. Results of the present study indicate that better, safer, and faster relief provided by the addition of Bhringarajasava to DOTS. This is an effort to utilize drugs from the vast Ayurvedic pharmacopoeia as safe adjuvant to DOTS regime so that toxicity and associated side effects of the DOTS can be ameliorated. This process of using therapies from two disparate systems of medicine could potentially lead to further enhancements in the field of complementary medicine and create a symbiosis between the different systems, which may lead to Rasayana DOTS (R-DOTS) in future.

In Ayurveda, various herbal preparations are clinically used to prevent or cure infectious diseases. Herbal preparations such as Triphala churna, Hareetaki churna, Dashmula churna, Manjistadi churna, Sukhsarak churna, Ajmodadi churna, Shivkshar pachan churna, Mahasudarshan churna, Swadist Virechan churna and Pipramool churna were investigated by preparing their organic solvent extract for antibacterial potential against enteric bacterial pathogens such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterobacter aerogenes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus subtilis, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Salmonella typhi, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Salmonella typhimurium and Proteus vulgaris, respectively. In the present study, Triphala churna, Hareetaki churna, Dashmula churna were potent antibacterial agents against S. epidermidis, P. vulgaris, S. aureus, E. coli, P. aeruginosa and S. typhi. The study supports the use of these herbal preparations not only as dietary supplements but also as agents to prevent or control enteric bacterial infections.

Depression is a common but serious mood disorder which exerts wide range of physical, physiological and psychological impact. On the basis of the severity of disease, depression is classified under various categories. Of all the types of depression, major depressive disorder resembles the features of kaphaja Unmada. The patients of Kaphaja Unmada are dirty in appearance, their speech and activities are retarded and they prefer to remain in solitude and lonely places. The presentstudy has been conducted in eighty patients of major depressive disorder dividing them into four groups, A, B, C and D using Vamana therapy and Unmada Gajankusha Rasa in the dose of 250 mg twice daily with water. The results were assessed on scoring of clinical symptoms and signs and by using Hamilton depression rating scale (HDRS).The results reveal the mild to moderate degree of response over various parameters which has been presented in detail in the article.

Haritaki is praised as the best salutary drug which can be used in almost all ages of human life and is reputed for its Anulomana property. In Ayurveda, it has been mentioned that fruits of Haritaki when used in different forms give different type of actions. As the prime therapeutic utility of Haritaki is Anulomana, in the present study, two dosage forms of Haritaki fruits namely Churna and Vati were evaluated for intestinal transit time to evaluate its effect in two different dosage forms. Mature fruits were collected, authenticated, and processed as per classics to get Churna and Vati. Test drugs were administered in the dose of 550 mg/kg and evaluation on intestinal transit time was carried out by adopting kaolin expulsion test in mice. The results show that both the dosage forms of Haritaki significantly shortened intestinal transit time and between them Churna form is found to be better.

Rasamanikya is a famous drug, frequently used by Ayurvedic physicians for Vata-Kaphaja diseases like Shwasa, Kasa and Kushtha (Skin disorders). Various methods of preparation have been found described in Rasa classics. Generally it is prepared by Shuddha Haratala which is kept between two thin transparent Abharaka Patra (mica sheets) in small scale and in sharava for large scale, heated up to desired level. There are so many methods and different liquid media have been found described for Shodhana of Haratala. Therefore the methods of preparation of Rasamanikya and Shodhana process of Haratala have been validated through various experiments. Tankana-treated Haratala (T. Treated) is found best for Shodhana process and final product too i.e. Rasamanikya in terms of pharmaceutical standards i.e. Ruby in colour, along with reproducibility of fixed quality.

Kaphaja Shira Shula is one of the Shiro Roga. Chronic sinusitis is inflammation of the sinuses behind the forehead, cheeks, and eyes, which continues for a long time or keeps recurring. Kaphaja Shira Shula can be correlated with Chronic Sinusitis. The decoction of Katuwelbatu Deduru Katuka is mentioned in Watika Prakaranaya, a book on Sri Lankan Traditional Medicine. The ingredients of this decoction are Solanum xanthocarpum, Cuminum cyminum, Nigella sativa, Picroihiza kurrota and Clerodendrum serratum. But in this study Saussurea lappa is used instead of C. serratum with the experience of traditional physician, Weerasinghe. Aim of this study was to scientifically evaluate the efficacy of this decoction in Kaphaja Shira Shula. Eighty patients suffering from Chronic sinusitis were selected from Ayurveda Teaching Hospital, Borella, Sri Lanka and randomly divided into two groups. X-ray of Para nasal sinuses and total white cell count before treatment and after treatment were recorded. Group one was treated with 120 ml of decoction of Katuwelbatu Deduru Katuka and Group two with 120 ml of placebo twice a day for twenty one days. Partial and complete symptomatic relief and reduction in esinophil count in the blood were observed in the treated group. It is observed that decoction of Katuwelbatu Deduru Katukadiya can be used in treatment of Kaphaja Shira Shula (Chronic sinusitis) effectively.

The disease Amavata can be presented as very similar to Rheumatoid Arthritis. Rheumatoid Arthritis is chronic in nature and affects mostly middle aged people. For this disease there is no satisfactory medicine is available till date. But in Ayurveda there are many drugs described for Amavata which are cost effective and easily available with no side effects. The present clinical study evaluated the effect of Chitrakadi Churna and Kshar Basti in the management of Amavata.
30 clinically diagnosed patient of Amavata were registered and completed the trial. In this 15 patients (Group A) administered Chitrakadi Churna 4gm twice daily with lukewarm water after meal. Another 15 patients (Group B) administered Chitrakadi Churna 4gm twice daily with lukewarm water after meal and Kshar Basti as per Kalbasti krama i.e 16days followed by local Snehan Swedan.
Results of this trial were encouraging as there is improvement in each symptom of patient like pain, stiffness, swelling, and tenderness. Group A in which only Chitrakadi Churna was administered there was no significant improvement seen statistically. But Group B in which Chitrakadi Churna as well as Kshar Basti was administered highly significant improvement seen statistically. Details of the Statistical test and other important will be discussed at the time of paper presentation.
From present clinical trial it is concluded that this therapy is very useful for pain, swelling, tenderness and stiffness, which were chief complaint of the patient. Chronicity more than 3 years did not show marked improvement. And also this drug is supposed to be very good combination of Vedanashamaka, Shothaghna, Amapachaka Dravyas. No untoward effects were seen except mild loss of weight.
Adhimantha is a disease which has been mentioned by Sushruta as an intense feeling of the eye, wherein eye seems to be being extracted out and churned up alongwith the involvement of the half of the head in association with specific features of the particular Dosha involved. Glaucoma is a disease which is characterized by raised intra-ocular pressure, optic disc cupping and visual field defect. The clinical study was done on 79 patients of Kaphaja Adhimantha in 4 different groups. Group A was treated with Triphaladi Varti. Group B was treated with Nayanamrita Lauha. Group C was combined group wherein both Nayanamrita Lauha and Triphaladi Varti were given. Group D was treated with placebo eye drop (Saurastra Netra Bindu). After the enrolment of the patients for this study, signs and symptoms such as dimness of vision, heaviness in head, coloured haloes, optic disc changes, IOP and visual field changes were studied before, during and after the treatment. The study indicates that combined group showed better results as compared to other groups.

Sitopaladi churna (SPC) is a popular polyherbal ayurvedic formulation used in the treatment of allergy and respiratory diseases.
The present study was aimed to justify the classical use of antiallergic claim by performing the mast cell stabilizing activity of extracts of SPC.
Materials and Methods:
The protective effect of aqueous extract and methanolic extract - of SPC against compound 48/80-induced mast cell degranulation model was carried out.
Sitopaladi churna aqueous extract (SPCA) at the dose of 300 mg/kg and Sitopaladi churna methanolic extract (SPCM) at the doses of 150 and 300 mg/kg showed better protection of mast cell degranulation (65%-74%) and were comparable to the standard drug ketotifen (79%), when peritoneal mast cells were treated with compound 48/80. The protection against mast cell degranulation was significant (P < 0.0001).
From the above results, it has been justified that SPC can be used to treat allergic disorders.

Vasa (Adhatoda vasica) is used to treat the diseases such as Shwasa, Kasa and Raktapitta in different dosage forms like Swarasa, Avaleha and Ghrita. Although the Avaleha Kalpana is not available in Brihattraya, but Gada Nigraha by Aacharya Sodhal and Bhava Prakasha have described its use in the form of Avaleha to treat the diseases of Respiratory System.
The objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of two types of Vasa Avaleha prepared with either ‘Swarasa’ or ‘Kwatha’ of Vasa during their preparation. The outcomes were assessed on the basis of relief in subjective symptoms and certain hematologicalparameters.
Total 35 patients were enrolled for the study. Both the groups showed highly significant results on cardinal symptoms like frequency, intensity and duration of Shwasa (dyspnoea), Kasa (coughing), Peenasa (rhinitis) with maximum percentage in Vasa Avaleha (Swarasa). The formulations also shows a insignificant decrease in haematocrit values which includes Neutrophil, Eosinophil, Lymphocyte count and TL.STL. Overall Vasa Avaleha (Swarasa) shows maximum percentage of improvement than the other group.
Epilepsy is a brain disorder which affects about 50 million people worldwide. Ineffectiveness of the drugs in some cases and the serious side effects and chronic toxicity of the antiepileptic drugs lead to use of herbal medicine as a form of complementary and alternative medicine. In this review modern evidences for the efficacy of antiepileptic medicinal plants in Traditional Iranian Medicine (TIM) will be discussed. For this purpose electronic databases including PubMed, Scopus, Sciencedirect, and Google Scholar were searched for each of the antiepileptic plants during 1970-February 2013.Anticonvulsant effect of some of the medicinal plants mentioned in TIM like Anacyclus pyrethrum, Pimpinella anisum, Nigella sativa, and Ferula gummosa was studied with different models of seizure. Also for some of these plants like Nigella sativa or Piper longum the active constituent responsible for antiepileptic effect was isolated and studied. For some of the herbal medicine used in TIM such as Pistacia lentiscus gum (Mastaki), Bryonia alba (Fashra), Ferula persica (Sakbinaj), Ecballium elaterium (Ghesa-al Hemar), and Alpinia officinarum (Kholanjan) there is no or not enough studies to confirm their effectiveness in epilepsy. It is suggested that an evaluation of the effects of these plants on different epileptic models should be performed.
Kusha (Imperata cylindrica Beauv.) and Darbha (Desmostachya bipinnata Stapf.) are enlisted among Trinapanchamoola, which is a well-known diuretic and are individually enumerated in the Mootravirechaneeya Dashemani. The article deals with the evaluation and comparison of the individual Mootrala (diuretic) action of the two drugs in healthy volunteers. In this study, 29 healthy volunteers were divided into three groups administered with Darbha Moola Churna, Kusha Moola Churna, and placebo in each group for 14 days. The volunteers were subjected to evaluation of diuretic activity by maintaining the daily total input–output charts during the course of the study. The volunteers were advised to consume a minimum 2 l of water daily. Results show that Darbha and Kusha leaded to a percentage increase in urine volume as compared to placebo group, but the result was statistically insignificant.

Ten Days in Northern California: Days 1-4
Day 1: The flight and aftermath. Arrive in SF at 4:30 a.m., take most terrifying cab ride of our entire lives (swinging across three lanes while checking a blind spot: scary), and check into our really funky B&B in Haight Ashbury. We realize we’re cold! We haven’t been cold in months! Whee! We start by taking the MUNI downtown and then picking up a cable car to Fisherman’s Wharf. We eat lots of chocolate at Ghiradelli, sourdough bread bowl soup for lunch, and then the old-time penny arcade. For 25 cents you can see a representation of a French guillotining. Awesome. From there we walk to Lombard Street, take the bus back to the museum district, shop a little, and lie around in the park (holiday–nothing open). Walk down to Transamerica Building, then to the Stinking Rose (garlic their specialty!) for dinner. Consume approx. 50 thousand garlic cloves, stink on off to a poetry bar for a drink, and home early to sleep. A pack of drunks sing the Imperial March from Star Wars and wake us up around 4am. Happy 4th of July!
Day 2: Old college roommate picks us up. Whitney is great! We walk through the Mission, go down to the Ferry Building for the farmer’s market, and then to the SF-MoMA for lunch and the Frieda Kahlo exhibit. SF Cameraworks after that, then over to Whitney’s apartment where her cat attacks my toe. Whit drops us off in Japantown where we pick up a good sushi set, have sushi for dinner, and then off to a beer garden near Castro. From there we walk around Haight Ashbury and people-watch.
Day 3: San Francisco broke my hip. Minimal walking today. Off to the Chihuly exhibit at the DeYoung museum via the Golden Gate Park, then take the bus down to the beach and hit a microbrewery called The Beach Chalet. Bus and walk through the park back to the hotel for a nap, then more walking around Haight Ashbury. Sausages for dinner, then drunk-watching outside. Lots of those in Haight.
Day 4: Tom picks up the rental car in Oakland, then we pack up and drive off to the Golden Gate Bridge. Photos, then cross the bridge into Marin County. We attempt to go to Muir Woods but the parking situation is terrible. We agree that not stopping for lunch until we are halfway to Bodega is a good call: California Rt. 1 is TWISTY. We stop at Pt. Reyes lighthouse and Tom gets to save a girl who was stung by a bee! Yay Eagle Scouts. We set up at the campground by Bodega Bay, stock up on provisions, and then drive around the Russian River Valley. Dinner is overpriced pasta and pre-frozen calzones at an Italian restaurant, then back to the campground to sip red wine and enjoy s’mores. A skunk is lurking around the campsite across from us and the ensuing yuppie-by-way-of-REI hysteria is AWESOME. “It could have BITTEN ME.” “No, it couldn’t have. Be quiet, babe.” Our policy is to ignore the skunk–doesn’t appear to be rabid–and abandon the site at the first whiff of trouble. Fortunately the faux-athletic couple simmer down and no skunks were enraged that night.
We’ve been back from California for about a week, and wouldn’t you know it that once I’m finally done editing our photos that our Smugmug site is down for maintenance. *Shakes fist* Anyway, we had a wonderful time; as Tupac and Dr. Dre once observed, “California knows how to party.”

Running into my boss at the baggage claim at Honolulu Airport. So much for my plan to go in late.
I read my hometown paper rather religiously; Seacoast Online has lots of local news that I find interesting related to construction ordinances, school news (particularly the consolidation kerfuffle with a neighboring district–our administrative district is full enough with two towns, thank you, no need to add a third town), and the best part: the Portsmouth, NH police blotter. Mostly I like to read it because every three months or so someone I knew in high school will turn up and well, schadenfreude. And once in a while, they will post an item like the one below:

Allison Danger vs. Rain
Shimmer presents a match pitting two rivals against each other. In this match Allison Danger takes on Rain. This match began a little slow as Allison quickly chose to work over Rain's arm. After a series of arm bars, wrist and hammer locks, Danger sends Rain into the ropes only to be met with a big forearm to the face. Rain then put a pounding on Danger and even used to ropes to choke her. Later in the match Rain is able to get Danger into a modified looking camel clutch and actually uses her hands on Danger's mouth to pry it open even wider. This was very intense. | <urn:uuid:b84104f0-6170-4793-ab60-8b0653b8d410> | CC-MAIN-2014-49 | http://www.clickwrestle.com/pro/10683/allison-danger-vs.-rain | 2014-11-23T17:07:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-49/segments/1416400379555.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20141119123259-00252-ip-10-235-23-156.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.948515 | 130 |

If you don’t want anybody to see your drawings simply don’t show them. Landscape drawing is a fun way to devote time and an amazing approach to develop your drawing abilities.

Most the world has its own nationally or regionally distilled rotgut, Italy has grappa, Portugal has aguardente, Mexico has mescal. What these whiskies have in common is they are nearly indigestible to the uninitiated. Each has its local proponents whose love for their local libation is heavily tinged with nationalistic pride. In my opinion most of these drinks prize alcohol content over taste.
The Chinese rotgut genre is dominated by baijiu (白酒), a clear unflavored liquor, or more correctly distilled cereal liquor. There are several types of baijiu common throughout Asia, kaoliang (高粱) is the jet fuel favored by Taiwanese tipplers. Kaoliang means sorghum in Chinese, so unsurprisingly sorghum is the primary ingredient in kaoliang jiu (高粱酒). Kaoliang is made by taking sorghum mash, pouring it over wheat cakes, and fermenting. The mixture is distilled after an appropriate fermentation period. The product of the first distillation is allowed to sit and further ferment, before being distilled a second time. The result is a clear, strong liquor that—to me—tastes an awful lot like the homebrew of my youth. I guess I would describe the flavor as having a strong core of black pepper, hints of toasted cereal, in a fiery liquid with a kerosene finish. The main characteristic of Kaoliang is the burn. It goes down like lighter fluid, burning its progress from the mouth, through the gullet, to the liver; and if you’re unlucky, retracing the same path on its reverse journey. Kaoliang is available in various strengths, from 38% to 63% alcohol by volume, but the most popular in Taiwan seems to be 58% alcohol, around 120 proof. It’llto give your liver something to think about.
Kaoliang developed in Dazhigu, China, east of Tianjin, during the Ming Dynasty. Today it is popular in mainland China, Korea, and Taiwan. In Taiwan it is so popular that it is fair to call it the national drink. It is currently manufactured on the outlying islands of Kinmen and Matsu. The industry developed in the 1950’s, when these islands were war torn areas that housed thousands of Nationalist troops fighting the Communists across the straits. The troops on Kinmen, like troops everywhere, needed hard liquor. Initially they made their own homemade baijiu, until a local entrepreneur saw an opportunity and set up Yusan Kaoliang Chiew which began producing Kinmen Kaoliang, still one of Taiwan’s favorite brands. The Matsu Distillery, based on one of Matsu’s islands, similarly developed during the Chinese conflict. The Matsu Distillery produces Tunnel 88, another popular Taiwanese brand.
As you might be able to guess, I’m not really a huge fan of kaoliang. Many of my Taiwanese guy friends seem to really enjoy this potent potable’s flavors, and will discuss the merits of one brand, or bottling, over another with the same passion Western connoisseurs have when discussing fine scotch whisky. For most of my time in Taiwan, kaoliang’s charms have eluded me.
I’m not alone among foreigners in failing to get kaoliang. I think this largely can be attributed to the fact that most foreigners have no idea how to drink kaoliang. My story is probably pretty typical. When I first arrived in Taiwan, I bought a bottle of kaoliang as I wanted to try the local liquor. I took my new purchase home and drank it as I would any other whisky. First I poured some in a tumbler over ice, and tried sipping it, like a fine scotch or bourbon. It had all the charm of a glass of formaldehyde. So, I regrouped and tried again. It’s a clear liquid, like tequila, maybe the answer was to shoot it back. I grabbed a shot glass and poured myself an ounce and a half and shot that down. Rookie mistake. It damn near shot straight back up—like it was on a bungee cord. So then I thought maybe cutting it with a mixer would help me get it down. So I hunted around the house to find some soda to make a kaoliang highball. I mixed about an ounce of kaoliang with a liberal dose of Coca-Cola. All that accomplished was to ruin a perfectly good can of Coke. In the end that bottle of kaoliang was used as lighter fluid for the barbeque—a task for which it was admirably suited.
It wasn’t until many years later that I learned the proper way to drink kaoliang, while at a banquet on Kinmen Island with a group of students. At first I was hesitant when I realized we were going to be drinking kaoliang with the native Kinmen islanders present at our table. I knew that in the ganbei (乾杯), bottoms-up, culture of such banquets, I would have little ability to demure. I feared the kaoliang’s taste might cause me to launch my meal across the table. I was deeply concerned for my dignity and dinnermate’s clothing. Luckily the kaoliang was served in shot glasses about the size of a thimble. The contents were shot back between mouthfuls of food, the burn being quickly ameliorated by the next mouthful of food. Drank this way, kaoliang proved to be palatable, bordering on enjoyable. Of course the warm congenial feeling it leant to the meal created one of the nicer memories of my time in Taiwan.
Cheers to Kaoliang. | <urn:uuid:bf53c32e-3d1d-4f08-8c65-bb781dce0964> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://thesaltyegg.net/2017/11/ | 2022-01-17T00:19:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320300253.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20220117000754-20220117030754-00129.warc.gz | en | 0.964011 | 1,227 |

HOUSTON (AP) — The Houston Texans are AFC South champions for the second straight year after beating the Indianapolis Colts 29-17 Sunday.
Andre Johnson had 151 yards receiving and a touchdown, Bryan Braman scored a special teams touchdown on a blocked punt, and Shayne Graham kicked five field goals.
The Texans (12-2) grabbed their first AFC South title last season after the Colts nosedived without injured quarterback Peyton Manning. Manning is gone and Andrew Luck couldn't do much against the inspired Houston defense.
The Colts (9-5) had won three straight and needed a win to clinch a playoff berth a year after going 2-14.
But Houston held them off, thanks in part to three sacks from J.J. Watt, to get back on track a week after an embarrassing 42-14 loss to New England on national television. The Texans will have home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs in they win out.

Does PCI prevent heart attack?
Evidence is unequivocal that PCI is the best therapy for patients who are having large heart attacks characterized by specific electrocardiogram (ECG) changes. However, hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis) is a generalized disease that affects every blood vessel in the heart. Therefore, treatment of one blockage in a single artery at one instant in time does not prevent other blockages in other arteries at other times. To prevent future heart attacks, it is vital that patients with coronary artery disease take a strict regimen of medications designed for that purpose. | <urn:uuid:622c8e31-155b-4da1-a6f4-7dcd56a17537> | CC-MAIN-2017-13 | http://www.scai.org/SecondsCount/FAQ/Detail.aspx?cId=8963f707-bbab-47cb-a6aa-f0356a119ca0 | 2017-03-29T11:11:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-13/segments/1490218190295.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20170322212950-00103-ip-10-233-31-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.931536 | 118 |
Do Kids and Gardens Have Something In Common?
It’s true! Raising kids is a lot like raising a garden.
You care for them. You tend and watch. You train. And you wait.
But how will they turn out? What kind of fruit will they bear?
Let’s see what we can learn from the garden to become a better parent!
My Botched Garden
At the first sign of spring, I plant my vegetable seeds. I tend the seedlings, waiting for them to sprout. But one year, after a month of watching them grow almost big enough to plant outdoors, they grew tall and lanky — some shriveled and died. After all that work!
This got me thinking about the time and effort to raise any living thing.
It’s easy to think growing things will be easy. And parenting isn’t any different — except that we’re growing humans!
Learning & Growing
We all make mistakes when we’re learning new things. I’ve messed up enough to fill a book! Do you remember how it feels to hold that baby for the first time? Everything is just. So. New.
Fortunately, we get to observe and then learn from the world around us. I’ve raised both children and vegetables for decades and believe it or not, they actually have a lot in common. Let’s see what we can learn from the garden to help you become a better parent!
If you’re reading this, you probably have kids. And even if you don’t garden — stick with me. You’ll see how the gardener and her crops resemble the choices you make in your job as “mom.” You can become a better parent using lessons from the garden.

Gardening Lessons for Better Parenting
Gardening Lesson #1: Know Your Plant’s Needs Before You Choose A Method
From my botched seedlings, I found out I was doing something wrong. I followed standard garden protocol: plant the seeds, use a grow light, keep them well watered, and use a warming mat for their soil. So what happened?
I used the same method for several kinds of seeds.
When we don’t use the right lighting, nutrients, and moisture for each type of seedling, some can become weak and pale. Their stems wither into thread-like strands, strangling those important first leaves. Some don’t even sprout.
But there’s good news.
Our mistakes help us learn what not to do the next time.
Parenting Lesson — Your Method Affects Your Child
Parenting comes with lots of confusion about how to raise kids. When we start this journey, we don’t understand that different children need different care.
Too often, we follow the latest trend in parenting or we follow our parents’ example — but we miss this important fact — children are created differently.
Another family’s method may not work for your child or your lifestyle.
Like plants with different requirements for light, nutrients, and moisture, children benefit from individual attention. Each child needs unique and thoughtful care.
• One child may need “flower care” using a different type of fertilizer — more hugs maybe?
• Another might need “veggie care” with lots of sunlight and warmth — more time to run and learn outdoors.
• And yet another, “succulent care” planted in a unique soil — more time to learn from books and research.
The point is — your kids will greatly benefit when you take the time to discover which type of child you have.
This is the important work of parenting. It’s hard work. But hang in there!
Learn as you go. It’s a process.
With your best effort to give your kids individual “care and feeding,” they’ll grow strong and bear much “fruit!”
It’s hugely important to remember that God loves you. He created you to raise your kids. Plus, He loves your kids even more than you do!
God gives enough grace and love to cover your mistakes. I know you want to do the best you can while you have the opportunity! With His counsel and grace, you have hope on this parenting journey.
Gardening Lesson #2: Expect Abundant Produce Without Enough Knowledge or Hard Work
If you’ve ventured into gardening, you know this scenario. It happens to the best of us.
Juicy, home-grown tomatoes come to mind. You don’t have extra time for a garden — but the local nursery catches your eye. The hope of a lush garden draws you in! You remember a spare space along the driveway. So you dig a hole in the stubborn, rocky soil and place your plants into their holes. You might even say a prayer. (You’re gonna need it! 😊 )
One super important lesson from gardening — especially when growing veggies — they need lots of sunlight, nutritious soil, proper drainage, and special nutrients. Without the right ratio, they won’t grow many flowers or fruit. They can develop spindly, pale leaves. Or they grow huge, green leaves — but no tomatoes. You’re left wondering why people love to garden! Been there, done that, and often still do!
Parenting Lesson #2 — Environment Affects Our Kids
Like plants struggling to grow in hard-packed soil with no nutrition, our kids battle the culture that surrounds them.
I remember too well my struggle to fit in, to say “no,” and my internal battle with my own identity. It’s hard for kids to be free to make wise choices when their environment is harsh and unforgiving. When it doesn’t equip them for life and learning.
Kids can be like those tomatoes struggling to grow along the driveway. With so much energy spent fighting to gain a foothold, they have less energy to produce fruit. In this environment, children become stifled from discovering their unique talents and aptitude.
Remember — kids, like plants, soak up everything they’re around — both the toxins and the beneficial nutrients. If the “soil” is damaging or the “nutrients” lacking, your child will be affected.
Hang in there — there’s hope!
A Healthy Environment
It’s not a surprise that kids benefit from an environment where they can flourish rather than battle. Your efforts will go a long way in giving them a strong foundation, spiritual nourishment, and lots of physical and emotional preparation. This helps them develop their unique personality while standing strong and becoming capable as enter adulthood. It gives them a “leg up” so to speak!
As parents, our job isn’t to make life perfect for our kids, but we can work to provide a healthy environment for them to develop.
Gardening Lesson #3: Parent Like A Professional Gardener — Give the Best Foundation, Support, and Nourishment
I saved the best for last!
When I was newly married, I wanted the same delicious tomatoes my mom grew. I researched and asked questions. I bought a huge plastic kettle and filled it with rich black soil and two tomato plants. Before long, those plants were three feet tall and producing bowls of juicy tomatoes for our dinner table. That was time and effort well spent!
If you’ve ever tasted them, you know there’s nothing like home-grown tomatoes! (If you and your kids enjoy a good folk song and you like John Denver, click that link!) I digress. 😉
So, we know to grow a successful garden — to get the best plants and produce, the gardener must know and understand the needs of each type of plant. You know when you get it right — your vases will be full, your arms overflowing with produce, or your home green with houseplants!
Oh, how I love my gardens!
And my kids!
Parenting Lesson #3 — Give the Best Foundation, Support, and Nourishment To Your Children
Simply put, just like those plants, our children benefit from the best environment and care for their needs.
So let’s dig into what that looks like in your life as a parent?
Lessons from the Garden for Raising Your Kids
A farmer tends his crops because he knows his life depends on it.
He knows his choices determine how well his crops do — and how well he’ll eat that year.
It’s just as important to see your parenting job the same way.
Your children’s future begins with YOU — and that includes the choices you make in how to care for them.
God’s design for the family is amazing! It’s an awesome honor and responsibility to instruct and raise our children.
Have you ever thought about this? Your babies don’t ask to be born? Yet they depend on you for everything — to love, nurture, and raise them well. And it’s all part of God’s plan!
Aim to serve God well and be the best parent you can be!
Let’s review these parenting lessons:
- Soil – Patio tomatoes need a healthy pot of rich soil — a place where roots grow strong and healthy. Children need a rich environment to grow, learn, and broaden their ever-expanding minds.
- Roots – The healthier the roots, the healthier the plant. Roots provide the plant with much-needed nutrients. The foundation and nutrients you give your kids are equally important. Be sure they get plenty of opportunities to learn and experiment with their unique interests and skills. These grow them into the individual they were created to be!
- Leaves – Tomato leaves — growing large, soft, and green — soak up the sunlight. This creates chlorophyll to provide the plant with just what it needs to produce delicious, nutrient-rich fruit. Exactly what it was intended to produce!
I know you might not believe it when you’re chasing toddlers or changing diapers, but your kids will grow up! Like plants, your child soaks up information from their surroundings. A healthy environment matures and grows them strong in character and skills. Their knowledge expands, and they use their talent and personality to add “fruit” to the culture around them making the world a much better place!
(Use my Parenting Worksheets and encouragement from my newsletters to help get your “soil” right!)
It’s Your Time to Be a Master Parent!
How Will You Tend Your Garden?
You and your husband are the best people in the world to decide how life is lived in your home. And you’re the best qualified to raise your children.
Take time to:
- think about how your kids are doing.
- where you’re headed as a family.
- how you might get there.
- assess your parenting style.
- see if you need to adjust anything — soil, nutrients, sunlight?
- make a plan to grow a great family!
Your Better Parenting Plan
Your child’s mind, like the plants we’ve been talking about, soaks up everything they come in contact with. Are these types of “soil” what you’d like your kids to grow in?
- Surrounded by love and the knowledge of God
- Filled with imagination and freedom to play and learn
- Lots of opportunities to experience new things and learn from the skills and knowledge of others
- Engaging relationships where they learn to accept differences and love unconditionally

Remember — Only God is the Perfect Parent!
We all know that “perfect” family. We want the same for our family and so we try their methods and ideas. Then we hear of a new “technique” that promises success. I get it, I’ve grabbed at plenty along my parenting journey.
There’s nothing wrong with learning and growing from another family, but remember the lessons above. Your kids — your family.
Things you try and fail at can feel like mistakes — but they are truly lessons. They are growing you along the way.
Remember this — children are resilient and they have a loving heavenly Father, too! The best part? God uses our mess-ups. Remember Moses and David?
God is good — His perfect plan will show you the way.
There’s Hope For Better Parenting!
If you’re worried you’re kids will turn out like my sickly plant examples, have HOPE. Your kids will survive your mistakes!**
**Other than the worst-case scenarios, of course — and please, if you struggle with a serious issue that could affect the safety of your children, reach out to someone for help.
Like with anything you do, give it your best for a better outcome!
You might be wondering what my kids are like now that they’re adults. I’m amazed at what God has done with our big family! Each one is unique from the others. They’re strong and capable, think independently, have curious minds, and are raising great families. Best of all, each one loves and trusts God. I’m really proud of my kids! You can read about them here. But be “duly noted” — they aren’t perfect! 😉
And the goal isn’t perfection anyway, is it?
It’s progress — being the best parents we can, using our life, our faith, and our experience to help the next generation continue on that journey.
Steps You Can Take Towards Better Parenting
- If you have a family — are you happy with the way things are going? Do you need to make adjustments to the soil, sunlight, or water? Do you need to learn more about parenting? Ask, read, pray, and reconsider your current plan. Then make the changes needed. God will bless every effort you make to raise the future generation for Him. Now begin cultivating!
- If you’re not married yet — picture your future family and what you want for your children. What are your goals, hopes, and ideas for raising them? Write these goals down. Put thought into how you’ll get there. Take time to develop the “garden” you’ll raise your future children in. It will be worth your effort.
God’s word is filled with exhortations to parent well,
be responsible for your family,
and always to love well!
I encourage you to begin “living above the noise.”
Don’t be afraid to be different — to discover a style all your own.
You don’t have to measure up to what everyone else is doing — in your community, especially on social media, or even in your church.
This is your life — you only get one! Use it well and for God’s glory!

Train up a child in the way he should go;
Even when he is old he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6
And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. Deuteronomy 6:6-7
Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD,
The fruit of the womb a reward. Psalm 127:3
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. Philippians 4:6
“But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish in the sea inform you. Which of all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this? In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind.

What is savasana and its benefits?
Savasana (Corpse Pose) is much more than a moment’s rest at the end of a yoga class. The essential pose is crucial for calming the mind and body, here are additional benefits: Calms central nervous system, aiding the digestive and immune systems. Calms the mind and reduces stress.

: a meditative posture in which one lies on one’s back that is typically considered the final resting pose in yoga Savasana is a pose of total relaxation—making it one of the most challenging. — Yoga Journal.
Can I skip Savasana?
“Skipping Savasana is like skipping out on an internal and emotional massage for your body,” says Anders. “You’re leaving the class in an activated state from physical activity, with no rest and reset. I highly, highly encourage students to challenge themselves and learn to lie in the stillness of Savasana.”
How long can we stay in the Savasana?
Invite peace and silence into your mind, body, and soul. Stay in Savasana for five minutes for every 30 minutes of your practice. To exit the pose, first begin to deepen your breath. Bringing gentle movement and awareness back to your body, wiggling your fingers and toes.

Savasana relieves physical and mental stress that builds during a workout. Whether you’re doing sun salutations, taking a HIIT class, or cycling, exercise has a profound effect on the body. Your heart beats faster, your body sweats, and your lungs breathe more heavily.
Why Savasana is the hardest pose?
The body can cause distractions that make it a challenge. Your body might feel cold, itchy, or unsettled. Savasana occurs at the end of the yoga practice to remedy this obstacle. By the time you’ve completed asanas, or postures, your body and mind should be tired enough to be able to relax sufficiently for Savasana.
What are the stages of Savasana?
There are actually three stages of Savasana:
- Stage One is allowing the body to find relaxation, which takes the average person approximately 15 minutes.
- Stage Two is when savasana actually begins.
- Stage Three, the final state of savasana, occurs when the ego and mind let go.
When Savasana should not be done?
Those with back issues can do the pose with a bolster under their knees. Those with a reverse curve in their necks should place a small rolled blanket under the neck. The body should be warm in Savasana.
Who shouldnt do Shirshasana?
The following people should not practice Shirshasana: Children under the age of 7 years old, as their skull can still be soft and is prone to injuries. Pregnant women, because there is a high risk of falling out of the pose. People with Glaucoma, because it can increase the pressure in the eyes.

Chargers rookies, drafted and undrafted, will practice from Friday through Sunday. Among the undrafted rookies, strong safety Alden Darby is a player to watch, said Michael Gehlken in his recent Chargers chat.
Darby appeared in 50 games for Arizona State. ASU staffers lauded him as unusually energetic, reliable and upbeat, saying he represented the school well on and off the field.
The intangibles can only help Darby's chances if the football evaluation becomes a tie.
He was the first at Arizona State to wear Pat Tillman Practice Jersey, in honor of the late ex-Sun Devil player who gave up his NFL career to fight with the U.S. military.
He grew up in a rough part of Long Beach, and visits high schools to tell students of his triumphs over adversity.
''People really respond to him, respond to his message,'' said Jean Boyd, an ASU senior associate athletic director for the Office of Student Athlete Development, via the Arizona Republic.
Darby is 5-foot-11 and 195 pounds. He ran the 40-yard-dash in 4.46 seconds at his Pro Day. A first-team, all-Pac-12 performer last year, he led the team in pass deflections with 10 and for the second year in a row had a pick-6 against USC. He finished his career with 10 interceptions, plus two more in the 2014 East-West All-Star Shrine Game.
His coaches described him as a playcaller who coordinated the defense.
Darby faces a difficult competition. The Chargers employ several young strong safeties who've learned John Pagano's system. Marcus Gilchrist was the main starter at strong safety last year, while Jahleel Addae, an undrafted rookie, saw increased playing time. Mike McCoy was effusive in his praise for Addae last August, saying his energetic style fit into the staff's plan for how to build a team. Another strong safety, Brandon Taylor, was a third-round draft pick out of LSU in 2012. Recovering from reconstructive knee surgery, he didn't play last year.
Darby is the only safety the Chargers listed among their 17 undrafted rookies. Last year, Pagano expanded the use of safeties in the team's nickel and dime packages. | <urn:uuid:6a83ca73-b404-4562-bcd2-5994e8c06c9b> | CC-MAIN-2014-23 | http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2014/may/16/darby-arizona-state-addae/ | 2014-07-31T16:21:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-23/segments/1406510273381.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20140728011753-00072-ip-10-146-231-18.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.981538 | 470 |
This scenario is commonplace in Africa. We are living in an age where unemployment and underemployment are normal. African millennials are coming to the realization that it’s becoming harder and harder to find meaningful work after formal education.
Higher institutions of learning are not preparing young people for the real life by conferring the much needed practical skills. As a result, the skills gap has widened. What young people learn in school is rarely what they do in the real world. As a young person, how do you bridge this gap? How do you transfer the skills you learnt in college to the real world?
This is not the part where I talk about venturing into entrepreneurship. Instead, create. This is not the same as starting a business. Build that app, write that program, work on that blog, write that article, and work on that side project. Build something. I have learnt that the easiest way to learn something is by creating. For example, if you want to become a better writer, simply write. If you want to be a better speaker, practice speaking. That’s how you learn. Do not let a formal education stop you from getting the relevant skills you need. School prepares us to do “stuff” by consuming knowledge. No matter how many books you read about marketing, the best way to get better at it is by going out there and trying to sell.
The beauty about creating is that you will be building your track record on top of the learning. For example, if you are interested in video and game production, creating small productions will set you above and beyond your competition. You will be showing a potential employer or business partner that you can actually do the work.
The future belongs to young people who can take charge of their own learning. African millennials should consider learning opportunities online. Resources such as coursera, Code academy, Udemy, etc all offer amazing courses for anyone with drive to improve their skill. Check them out and expand your knowledge on a topic you are keen on.
There is lots of amazing information available today-books, blogs, articles, movies, lectures, workshops, interviews… for you to take advantage of. Get the best of what you are interested in on the internet and start learning. If you are interested in marketing, find the top thought leaders in that industry and follow them on social media. The onus is on you to educate yourself about the industry you want to work in.
Going to graduate school is a great idea but it should not be something you go for when you just don’t know what’s next. It shouldn’t never be a fall back plan. Most masters programs are impractical and are not directly connected to your work. You are better off investing in self education and learning by doing.
Translate your education into employer value
How do the things you learn in school translate into the real world? Translate your school experiences into employer speak. Think about how a potential employer is going to perceive you. Put yourself in their shoes. If you can’t find experiences that speak into how you can create value for an employer, look for them. Create learning opportunities for yourself.
Find more sophisticated ways to showcase the things you learned in school. Being part of the debate club or a leader on your student council is not enough. Build real credibility so that it will be a no-brainer for an employer to hire you. For example, if you are an artist, have an amazing portfolio to showcase your talent. Young Africans need to think about what makes them worth hiring by proving that they can offer real value even before they graduate.
Invest in a trade where you can use your hands
Unfortunately, we have a tendency to look down on people who use their hands. We shun vocational schools while rushing to get into universities. Think about it this way… A plumber can work practically anywhere so long as they can prove that they can do the work. On the other hand, a professional accountant needs fresh certifications in order to practice their craft in a different jurisdiction from the one in which they got their qualifications. Investing in a trade where you can use your hands helps you ensure that you always have what it takes to find meaningful work. The people who will win are those who can work with their hands.

What: Shares of Iconix Brand Group Inc (NASDAQ:ICON) were up 19% as of 11:33 a.m. EST Monday after the company secured a $300 million term loan from Fortress Investment Group.
So what: Iconix stock has been battered over the past year as the company has found itself in the middle of an accounting scandal, forcing it to revise years' worth of financial statements.
Last year also saw the surprise resignation of its CEO, COO, and CFO in the wake of unscrupulous accounting for its joint venture transactions. At its nadir in January, the stock had fallen 90% from its peak in 2014. However, investor confidence has started to rebuild as a new CEO, John Haugh, entered the fold last year and the investment giant Blackrock purchased 2 million shares of the company, which owns brands like Joe Boxer, Candies, and Danskin. As a result, the stock jumped 31% last month.
Now what: The $300 million term loan is the latest vote of confidence in Iconix's future, and will allow the brand management company to pay off another loan coming due in June. In the press release announcing the loan, Iconix CFO Dave Jones said, "With the refinancing path for the 2016 converts (convertible loans) now in place, we look forward to a continued focus on our core business; including the growth of our worldwide brand management platform."
With the BlackRock investment, new CEO, and now the term loan, the market seems to believe the worst of accounting scandal is over for Iconix. Although it has not completed the financial restatements, the company did say its 2016 guidance would be unaffected by the restatement, and management expects an adjusted EPS for 2016 of $1.35-$1.40. Even after Monday's jump, the stock trades at a P/E multiple of just seven. As the company repairs its business, I'd expect the stock to continue to move higher. | <urn:uuid:c8734c2c-23f9-4e95-a420-f35d15718591> | CC-MAIN-2019-13 | https://www.fool.com/investing/general/2016/03/07/why-iconix-brand-group-inc-stock-soared-today.aspx | 2019-03-26T16:30:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-13/segments/1552912205597.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20190326160044-20190326182044-00142.warc.gz | en | 0.971944 | 411 |
I mean this was really only a matter of time
Wow, I just read page #26 earlier, then went back and reread the start of the chapter 7… and when I reloaded the Last Page page, I saw #27 had gone up! Sweet.
hah, good timing!
Schtein’s daughter is Laurence’s niece, right?
Cue the wacky ex-hitman and psionic supervillain team-up.
This is the cuddliest I have ever seen Schtein! I mean, look at that lack of personal space. I’m really enjoying the chance to see these two interacting.
the most comfortable he’s ever been around another person is laurence. I’m not sure he was ever this comfortable with Janet, but it was probably fairly close to being this level at some point.
Oh my god, does Laurence know?!? I had presumed they were both ignorant!
P.S. love the detail of Doc’s legs draped over Larry’s. That plus his unabashed nudity a couple pages back really highlights that this is the one person on Earth Schtein is thoroughly comfortable with. What a startling difference compared to how he reacts to everyone else.
I did just notice he’s not even wearing gloves, good times!
That has got to be the slouchingest couch that ever slumped sagdom.
Because he got pissed at Abel when he showed up at the house I didn’t think this would be such a big shock to him… plus Laurence killed Doc’s lawyer when he tried to call him. Not that that part would affect whether the big boss goes after Doc’s “family”, but it does show his character.
I think the shock for Laurence is finally learning that Doc is his ex brother in law and Alice’s father.
Also, I would imagine Laurence now believes that Doc is the whole reason Janet and Alice were threatened in the first place, so I can’t imagine he’d be too happy with Doc about that, even if it’s not his fault.
Doc doesn’t know Laurence is his brother-in-law because he’s a massive, ignorant tool, right? Or am I mis-remembering?
I vaguely recall a comic where he was remembering moving into his dorm in college and Laurence’s sister was helping him move a nightstand or something and her face was blurred and her name was sort of scrambled when Laurence said it because Doc couldn’t remember anything about her.
This is my absolute brotp, just look at them in that first panel. Kawaii.
platonic relationships in media are like my favorite thing in the world, honestly.
I can’t agree enough, we need more
My friend, that is something we have in common.
Man, I don’t want to see Laurence threatened and killed because of Schtein’s douchiness! We were just starting to like him! I guess I didn’t realize how close they were.

Top Ten Most Common Problems Caused by Stray Cats
Top Ten Most Common Problems Caused by Stray Cats!
1) Aggression towards humans – stray cats don’t have a home due to the fact that they escaped from their real home or abandoned. On the contrary, cats which are feral are those which were born by stray cats and have never had homes and also lived with humans. If kittens don’t come in contact with humans even when they get to be 12 weeks old, then its not possible for them to recognize the company of humans which leads to the fear that prevents them from getting caught and finding a home. Similar to dogs, cats also require socialization and during that process they may be come in contact with everything humans would not want it to be afraid of. It is also important to let them interact with more humans and in this process it aids them in staying away from hostile situations which is caused because of the fear of humans at a later stage.
Whenever you try to catch a stray cat, you must be very careful since they possibly have diseases which may be passed to your body when they try to scratch or bite you because of fear.
2) Diseases – stray cats regularly travel in small settlements, which let them pass or catch diseases with ease. Most cats are never vaccinated and because of this, diseases like feline leukemia, rabies and feline HIV are easily caught by cats. Of all these diseases, rabies produces the highest menace and threat to the lives of humans because it can make cats to be aggressive and pass the disease to humans. But there are other diseases that may also lead to death through cat colonies. Another disease which is passed across from cats to humans with ease is Parvovirus. This disease leads to a lot of respiratory illnesses that may result to different symptoms like eye and nasal discharge, coughing, vomiting, and diarrhea. Ticks and fleas which also bring about different types of diseases like a variety of worms can also be caught by cat colonies which some can be transferred to other humans or animals.
3) Continuous breeding – The breeding capacity of a stray cat is a continuous problem caused by them. One breeding duo can reproduce 2 times a year and within 7 years time, they are capable of having almost 420,000 litters. Although all these cats do not live, their colonies may continue expanding. Since food and various recourses become hard to get, majority of these cats die painfully from starvation or diseases. Due to the fact that majority of them where raised under the supervision of humans, they do not have the needed skill to hunt when necessary to hunt and stay alive in the feral.
4) Regular and loud noise from fighting and mating behavior – cats fighting and mating are a very major complaint in some locations.
5) Strong foul odors from male cats which aren’t neutered spraying to mark their territory – their urine spray is very powerful.
6) Flea infestations that can be transferred to other pets – having pets is one reason you don’t want feral cats on your property
7) Noticeable suffering from kittens which are dying or injured adults – this is a sign found on various stray cats in this country.
8) Stray cats living in an attic of a building – stray cats like to live in attics which are not different from opossums and raccoons.
9) Stray cats living under porches, sheds, dumpsters, or other structures – there are frequent calls to properties to remove and trap cats living underneath structures.
10) Litters of baby stray cat kittens found – many people call for help to catch them and take them to an animal shelter | <urn:uuid:d772ac8b-a5fe-415c-b5f0-5163b9201cf1> | CC-MAIN-2018-51 | https://naturesmace.com/2016/12/28/top-ten-most-common-problems-caused-by-stray-cats/ | 2018-12-13T01:40:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-51/segments/1544376824338.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20181213010653-20181213032153-00622.warc.gz | en | 0.966517 | 753 |
If you could figure out how to make the most money from your Internet company, would you be able to set aside all of your monetary concerns? Well, no one knows that answer for sure, but you can start by reviewing all of your business costs, such as how much you pay for your monthly web hosting. Keep reading to find out some suggestions on how to ensure you will get the best service for the best costs.
Evaluate the types of sites that your web host offers. Some of the free sites may merely offer static pages. This would mean that you could not add your own scripts. A paid host account will entitle you to more flexibility.
Be sure to register the name of your domain separately from your web hosting service. In case the service shuts down, or you have conflicts with the company, you will still own your own domain name and can just change to a new host. Your host will have the control of your domain registration.
Opt for web hosting service from a provider with a favorable track record for addressing outages. Unreliable providers will have a consistent track record for lengthy and frequent outages; this is an indicator that the host is ill-prepared to offer satisfactory support. Frequent outages signify an unprofessional business. Don’t make commitments to these type of companies.
Will monthly payments or a one-time payment best suit your budget? It is impossible to know how good business will be in the later months. If your host goes down or if your business takes off, you might not be able to get your money back.
Think about security considerations when picking a web host. In this society, websites can be exposed to attacks and other risks, and there are many ways in which this can occur. Ideally, your hosting service should have established protocols and contingency plans to address DDosS attacks and other threats. You should know what is the risk for your site in case your host is attacked.
Some hosting services will charge you by how much traffic your site gets. Be sure to ask about your host’s billing strategy, so that you can budget accordingly for the price that you will end up paying.
Lump-sum payments can save you money at a web host, but monthly payments give you more flexibility. You never know if your host might go bankrupt, or your website could close. Should anything happen to the web host, all deposited cash would be lost unless the host says otherwise.
Free web host services are something to consider only if you have a simple, non-profit website. Your site is displayed with ads, and you have limited space to store it. If you want a better site, steer clear of free hosts.
Thinking about using a free web host for your new website? Make sure to back up everything that you want to keep, because free hosts don’t usually provide any sort of backup service. Remember, you get what you pay for. You risk losing your files entirely. If that happens, there is not much you can do about it.
Via message boards or forums, communicate directly with the web host clients. By asking questions you can rule out any company that does not satisfy your needs. These discussions will also increase your confidence in a good company. Customers currently using your chosen website hosting company are often the best source of feedback and information on the quality of service.
Service charges coming from hosting providers could be correlated to the traffic your site generates in some time period. Find out how web traffic changes your bill. Some hosts charge a flat fee but raise the fee if you get a certain amount of traffic, while others charge you monthly based on the number of visitors your site received.
Want a website that’s safe? It may be worth getting a certificate for a server that’s secure. You can make note of your security certificate on the home page of your site. This tells visitors that they can safely make purchases or provide sensitive information through your site portals.
Think about upgrading your website hosting package so that your website runs on a dedicated server. Not only does a dedicated server give you more bandwidth, it is also more secure. This can give your customers a better experience on your site. Keep in mind that content customers will return.
When thinking about purchasing a hosting package that provides infinite services, you should be cautious. For instance, there could be limited file types allowed for hosts that offer some unlimited limitations. Unlimited bandwidth will usually mean that you can get all the bandwidth you need, but there will be additional fees for overages at the end of the month. The more you can learn about these features and packages, the better prepared you will be to make wise decisions.
As you have just seen, there are numerous factors involved in the pricing from a hosting company. You need to review everything about the company, so that you can have an efficient website that does not use up all your profits.
One way to save money on website operating costs is to find a free web hosting service. If you do so, you may have ads pop up on your web site, and you will not have as much space for your files. However, if you wish to have a professional site, you should avoid this type of web hosting. | <urn:uuid:6d5081c8-8200-41b4-8635-9716523a48b9> | CC-MAIN-2017-51 | http://webdesign.problog.dk/read-the-following-tips-about-hosting/ | 2017-12-13T07:26:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-51/segments/1512948522205.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20171213065419-20171213085419-00759.warc.gz | en | 0.950907 | 1,068 |

HARRISBURG, Pa., Feb. 26, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Methods to combat an invasive insect pest proving deadly to Pennsylvania's ash trees will be showcased in the coming months in a series of free, public workshops planned across the state, Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Secretary Ellen Ferretti announced today.
"Municipal officials, landscapers and home and woodland owners all are asking what they can do as this destructive insect spreads steadily across our woodlands," Ferretti said. "We hope to offer solid answers and useful direction by tapping the expertise of our forestry and state parks bureaus, as well as a long list of other knowledgeable speakers."
Beginning in mid-March and ending in mid-June, workshops will be held in Chester, Huntingdon, Allegheny and Tioga counties as part of DCNR's ongoing Emerald Ash Borer Management Plan for Pa. Communities. Admission to the day-long sessions is free, but pre-registration is required.
"Attendees will leave these workshops with a wealth of newfound knowledge on what they can do personally to challenge the emerald ash borer's spread," said Ferretti. "Do you have ash trees in your community? Is the emerald ash borer in your area or nearby? Do you want to save your ash trees? These are among the many questions experts and tree-care professionals will be asking and answering."
Panels will focus on the biology of the ash tree and its insect enemy; damage detection and control; and ash tree inventories and management strategies.
Attendees also will be introduced to urban tree benefits; insect management tools; utilization of dead ash trees; costs of management options; and species selection to replace dead ash trees. Field trips to local management areas and chemical treatment demonstrations are planned.
Municipal officials, urban foresters, arborists, conservationists, pesticide applicators, tree-care professionals, landscapers and home and woodlot owners are expected to attend. Scheduled between 8:30 a.m. and 4 p.m., workshops are planned:
- Tuesday, March, 18, in Room 113, Merion Science Center, West Chester University of Pennsylvania, West Chester, Chester County;
- Wednesday, April 16, park office, Greenwood Furnace State Park, Route 305, between Belleville and McAlevys Fort, Huntingdon County;
- Wednesday, May 14, North Park Lodge, North Park, Pittsburgh, Allegheny County;
- Wednesday, June 18, Allen Hall 104, Mansfield University of Pennsylvania, Mansfield, Tioga County.
Reservations must be made five days in advance of the workshops by telephoning (717) 783-2066 or emailing [email protected]. Workshops will be held regardless of weather; refreshments will be provided at the sessions.
Training is funded by the USDA Forest Service through a grant to the Pennsylvania Urban and Community Forestry Council. Other supporters include DCNR, West Chester University of Pennsylvania, the Pa. Horticulture Society, Pennsylvania State University, The Nature Conservancy, Allegheny County Department of Parks, Tree Pittsburgh and Mansfield University of Pennsylvania.
Most recently, emerald ash borer infestations have been confirmed in 47 of Pennsylvania's 67 counties. It is now found in 22 states.
Since the emerald ash borer first was detected in June 2007 in Cranberry Township, Butler County, DCNR's Bureau of Forestry has worked cooperatively with the state Department of Agriculture to track and contain its spread. Efforts have included placement of purple panel traps along roadways in Eastern Pennsylvania; release of parasitic wasps; requesting firewood not be moved beyond 25 miles of where it was cut to reduce movement of infested wood; removal of infested trees; application of systemic insecticides; and distribution of outreach and education materials to communities.
Among the possible sources of replacement trees is TreeVitalize®, a DCNR-led initiative to restore tree cover in Pennsylvania communities. Municipalities, non-profit organizations and homeowners can apply for matching grants and financial assistance for replacement plantings. For details, visit www.treevitalize.net.
Ash species compose less than four percent of Pennsylvania's forests, or about 308 million trees, and most are located in the state's northern tier counties. Millions more are found in urban communities in the streets, back yards and parks.
Native to Asia, the emerald ash borer first was detected in the United States in Michigan in 2002. Beetle larvae bore through ash trees, disrupting flow of water and nutrients through the tree, and eventually killing it. Tree owners fearing infestation should be alert for the May and early June emergence of adult insects through D-shaped exit holes in the bark.

As-a-service models offer huge opportunities, but also complicate security. It may seem that the easiest way to migrate to a new architectural model is to let others, experts in their field, do the work. This has given rise to many as-a-service models throughout the industry and across the entire technology stack, from software to infrastructure. While this has unlocked huge opportunities to accelerate the deployment of new capabilities or increase economic efficiencies within an organization, i...

For almost two decades, businesses have discovered great opportunities to engage with customers and even expand revenue through digital systems, including web and mobile applications. Yet, even now, the conversation between the business and the technologists that deliver these systems is strained, in large part due to misaligned objectives. In his session at DevOps Summit, James Urquhart, Senior Vice President of Performance Analytics at SOASTA, Inc., will discuss how measuring user outcomes –...

Manufacturing has widely adopted standardized and automated processes to create designs, build them, and maintain them through their life cycle. However, many modern manufacturing systems go beyond mechanized workflows to introduce empowered workers, flexible collaboration, and rapid iteration. Such behaviors also characterize open source software development and are at the heart of DevOps culture, processes, and tooling.

The task 2 writing on the IELTS calls on students to express their opinion about a topic. This is not as easy as it sounds even for native speakers. There are many common pitfalls such as not responding to the question or not understanding what the question wants you to do. One of the first steps to take in writing a response to task 2 question is to break down the question to determine what you need to do.
Many Task 2 writing prompts have three components to them. They are listed below
- A statement that is a fact or opinion
- What you need to do (the job)
- Advice on how to complete the task
Let’s look at an example
- Schools should ask students to evaluate their teachers. Do you agree or disagree? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
In this example, we have all three components.
- Schools should ask students to evaluate their teachers. (This is the opinion you are reacting to)
- Do you agree or disagree? (Your job is to explain why you agree or disagree)
- Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer. (Here is the advice to complete the task)
In this example, our job is to agree or disagree about whether students should evaluate teachers. This example is a one job task. In other words, you have to only do one thing which explains why you agree or disagree. Some writing prompts call for doing more than one job such as compare and contrast in which you compare and then you contrast. One job tasks are the easiest to respond to.
Another important point is that if the prompt asks you to agree or disagree this is what you should do. It is too complicated to try and agree and disagree because it takes a much higher level of English to express a nuance opinion. Keep it simple and maximize your score through simply agreeing or disagreeing. Everybody knows the world is more complicated then that but if you need to take the IELTS you might not be ready to express this yet. Don’t try to show the reader how smart you are save that for the future.
The biggest mistake many students make is they jump right in to writing without developing any sort of outline. This is similar to jumping in your car to drive somewhere you have never been without directions. You’ll eventually get there but you journey is longer and unpredictable because of lack of preparation. It is important to make a simple outline of what you want to say.
Below is one way to approach a one job Task 2 writing prompt. It uses a traditional 5 paragraph essay format.
- Introduction-Paragraph has three component to it as explained below
- The 1st sentence should restate the statement or opinion. Indicate what the topic is even though the reader already knows.
- Indicate whether you agree or disagree. Tell the reader if you agree or disagree right away. There is no time to be indirect and mysterious
- Give your reasons for agreeing or disagreeing. In order to have five paragraphs you will have to develop three reasons why you agree or disagree. Each reason will have its own paragraph in which you explain it. It is common for students to struggle here. They have an opinion but they do not have any well thought out reason for the opinon. This is one reason why the IELTS is not only an English test but a test of thinking ability.
- Body paragraph-The three body paragraphs follow the same format as explained below
- 1st sentence should state the reason-Your first sentence in each body paragraph should restate one of your reasons why you agree or disagree.
- Example-Every reason needs some sort of illustration that further explains the reason. For example, if you think smoking is bad for someone because it causes health problems. You might share a story about how smoking killed a close relative. This illustration further clarifies why you think smoking is bad for you
- Conclusion-Restate your opinion and reasons using different English if possible. There are other ways to end an essay but this is the simplest.

SIR – Would it be an impertinence to ask Sir Keir Starmer to explain how remaining under the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice, continuing to pay into the “common market” for “free” access and having trading arrangements undertaken on our behalf solely by the European Union, constitute leaving the EU – or indeed respecting the democratic will of the majority of those who voted?
I only ask because I would like to know.

SIR – It was very informative to hear Sir James Dyson on Sunday’s Andrew Marr Show, in which he dispelled two popular myths relating to Brexit.
First, he explained that Dyson has already “fallen off the cliff”, in that it pays the World Trade Organisation tariffs on its exports to the EU.
Secondly, he pointed out that complex supply chains under which components pass back and forth across the continent, such as those...

I am a kind, quiet, and loyal person who loves to have fun, has a variety of interests, and is very easy-going. I like to read, bike, hike, and enjoy going to fairs, festivals, museums, etc. I consider myself to be a very strong Christian who endeavors to continually grow spiritually. I am usually quiet at first, but once you get to know me, my fun-loving personality comes out. :) I am interested in meeting a strong Spirit-filled Christian who is also easy-going, kind, etc and who also enjoys new adventures. I greatly appreciate a good sense of humor and love to laugh. My age range is 30-46. I do have to say that I am very connected to family and friends in Western PA and it would have to clearly be God's will for me to relocate more than 1 hour away from the Southwestern PA area. . . but we will see what the Lord has planned! I am always open to His will. I am excited about a future relationship and what I can give to the man God provides for me. I feel that I am to be a wife and possibly a mother and plan to work hard in my relationship so that my spouse and I can have an exemplary marriage! | <urn:uuid:bd36fee8-2fcc-4ea3-86c4-92a9606743f8> | CC-MAIN-2016-50 | http://www.singlec.com/dating/SHELL11 | 2016-12-11T02:23:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-50/segments/1480698543782.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20161202170903-00245-ip-10-31-129-80.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.979174 | 256 |

About Better Out Than In
Led by AFL Players’ Association in partnership with the AFL Coaches Association, Mates in Construction, La Trobe University and Cummins&Partners.
Better Out Than In is an integrated, online campaign that shift the conversation around men’s mental health from shame, stigma and hiding to openness, acceptance and hope. The project is based on the premise that sharing and listening to real life stories is one of the most powerful ways of reducing self-stigma in communities of men.
Targeting men from three communities – AFL past players, AFL coaches, and construction workers, we aim to reframe the behavioural and attitudinal trends that contribute to silent suffering by challenging personal and community thoughts and actions - geared towards the normalisation of help seeking, sharing and support. An important theme will be friendship and men’s stories of supporting their mates who are experiencing symptoms relating to depression and anxiety.
A series of digital campaigns will be developed to communicate these stories and allow men to share them with others. A user reference group was recruited to enable participatory design methods which were integrated at all stages of intervention planning, development and implementation.
A mixed-methods, before-and-after longitudinal design is being used to evaluate the effectiveness of the digital campaign in reducing stigma for depression, over an 11-month timeline, with the results compared to men in another male-dominated industry – the mining industry.

These foods can help you to naturally boost and supplement your testosterone levels, you can get these foods at your local market or the shopping mall and try as much as possible to incorporate it in your dail
Testosterone is the male hormone responsible for all male traits, the hormone makes you a man, though women have got a little of it.
I had to study and compile the list of testosterone boosting foods one can get close him due to its importance. Like we all know, this hormone is responsible for any thing manly in man, and its lack or shortage spells doom for the man.
Thanks to Rob Miller founder of SupplementCritique.com over 7 years ago, and has been the chief editor ever since. He has a diploma in Advanced Dietary Supplements Advisor, and worked at GNC for 3 years and for making this research and actually compiling these list of foods that can boost one’s testosterone.
when asked what’s the best way to increase testosterone, and usually the answer is pretty simple: Get more sleep, lose weight, lift heavy, avoid certain foods, and reduce stress.
The #1 thing that will help boost your testosterone levels is simple: diet.
With that said, putting together the perfect diet is no small (or inexpensive) feat!
Fruits / Veggies
Native to north-central and eastern China, Kiwifruit is rich in Vitamin C and E, and a good source of dietary fiber. (Source)
Studies on Vitamin C have shown to preserve testosterone concentrations, as well as reducing levels of circulating cortisol.
What does this mean for you?
Well, increased levels of cortisol are released in the adrenal glands during instances of stress. Because testosterone is released in the adrenal glands as well, this can have a direct influence on how much testosterone the adrenal glands are pumping out.
Kiwi will help to reduce the amount of cortisol released, effectively boosting testosterone.
Don’t like the taste of Kiwi? Well, who doesn’t like the taste of oranges!?
Similarly to kiwi, Oranges and orange juice pack a HUGE dose of Vitamin C, which has all of the same benefits we discussed above.
Not only will it lower circulating cortisol levels, but it has numerous other benefits, including protection against auto-immune disorders, cardiovascular issues, and even with skin texture. (Source)
Another great food that builds testosterone is grapefruit.
For those who aren’t big fans of Oranges, Grapefruit is a great alternative.
Not only can grapefruit lower your blood sugar and promote regularity, because of it’s Vitamin C content it can also increase testosterone.
However, you have to be careful about consuming too much Grapefruit.
You know those warnings you see about grapefruit on medication labels?
Well, it turns out that consuming grapefruit can overwhelm the liver by metabolizing it through the P450 pathway, or the same pathway that medications are typically metabolized through. (Source)
This can cause a host of problems, and you should definitely heed the warning if you’re taking any medications that have it.
It’s also speculated that grapefruit can actually LOWER testosterone levels by increasing estrogen levels.
Studies have yet to prove this, and anecdotal reports also seem to support the idea that it shouldn’t have ANY effect on testosterone levels. (Source)
Grapefruit is definitely a tasty choice, but I would put it lower on my list if I were you.
Pineapple has always been my favorite choice when it comes to fruit. Not only does it taste great, but it’s also a testosterone rich food.
For one, it contains a health dose of Bromelain, which is an enzyme that is literally only found in pineapples and bananas.
In a study involving 15 highly trained competitive cyclists, Bromelain was shown to reduce fatigue AND maintain testosterone concentration. (Source)
It’s unclear why this was the case, but it’s suspected to reduce exercise-induced muscle damage and inflammation, which results in faster recovery times.
Pineapple also contains an average dose of 432 mg of Vitamin C per serving, which gives it all of the testosterone boosting benefits we discussed above.
If you’re looking for a great natural food to help this, pineapple should definitely be on your testosterone boosting foods list.
Depending on who you ask, Tomatoes can be classified as either a fruit OR a vegetable.
Tomatoes are a major dietary source of Lycopene, which is an antioxidant with numerous health benefits.
I know what you’re thinking!
Isn’t lycopene a food that LOWERS your testosterone?!
Well, that’s what a study on the matter found out.
Hear me out first…
The study, which involved rats, showed that by pumping them with a big dose of lycopene, phytofluene, or tomato powder, serum testosterone concentrations were recorded at 30% – 40% LOWER than the control group. (Source)
HOWEVER (and this is a BIG however), the amount of lycopene they were force feeding these rats was the human equivalent of eating 3.3 tomatoes PER DAY.
Would you eat 3 – 4 tomatoes per day?
Most people don’t.
Tomatoes have been mentioned as a leading food to boost testosterone by numerous outlets, including Livestrong.com.
6.) Red Bell Peppers
Red bell peppers contain a pretty significant dose of Vitamin A, which was linked to an increased production of testosterone in an abundant amount of animal studies.
In one study, which involved rats, showed that increased Vitamin A consumption resulted in decreased estrogen production in male testicles. (Source)
This same study also noted increased basal testosterone secretion, and an increased transport of Iron, whose absorption increases with increased testosterone.
Perhaps the most intriguing study conducted on Vitamin A’s effects on testosterone was one conducted on 102 teenage boys suffering from delayed puberty.
In the study, which was divided into 4 groups, the group that received Vitamin A and Iron therapy saw practically the EXACT same results as the group given ACTUAL testosterone injections. (Source)
Sure, you can get Vitamin A from many sources, but Red Bell Peppers have LONG been considered one of the best foods that raise testosterone production naturally.
The jury is still out on Bananas and their effect on testosterone function, but there is some evidence that this fruit possess libido enhancing effects.
Because it contains a healthy dose of Vitamin B6, some studies have indicated that a diet insufficient in Vitamin B6 consumption can actually REDUCE circulating concentration of testosterone in plasma. (Source)
In short, if you’re deficient in Vitamin B6, it can have a HUGE impact on your overall testosterone levels.
Just like with Pineapple, Bananas also contain Bromelain, which as we mentioned earlier helps with maintaining testosterone concentration.
Some of you may have seen Watermelon in my article on foods that actually lower testosterone, but hear me out.
Watermelon has been revered by some in the scientific community as being natural viagra, primarily due to its L-Citrulline content. (Source)
L-Citrulline converts to L-Arginine in the liver, and when this happens it causes a process called Vasodilation.
During vasodilation, the smooth muscle tissue surrounding the cell walls relax, allowing for increased blood flow.
Along with this increased blood flow comes, you guessed it, better quality erections.
While it’s unknown as to whether or not Watermelon will ACTUALLY increase your testosterone levels, it will certainly make you feel like it’s shot up!
Specifically red grapes, the skin contains resveratrol, which is a proven aromatase inhibitor.
What does that mean?
Well, Aromatase inhibitors are actually a class of drugs that are used to treat gynocomastia in men.
They’re also very popular in bodybuilding
10.) Blue Berries
Blueberries actually contain two substances that work to naturally increase testosterone levels.
Like grapes, blueberries – specifically the skin – contain resveratrol, which works as an Aromatase inhibitor blocking the conversion of testosterone into estrogen.
It stands to reason that if less testosterone is being converted in to another substance, you get the benefit of more active testosterone in your system.
Not to mention that as a guy working on his body, want as little estrogen as possible coursing through your veins.
Calcium-D-Glucarate is the other relevant substance in blueberries.
It acts as an estrogen blocker to help maintain a testosterone positive hormone profile in your body.
Calcium-D-Glucarate is actually used to treat some estrogen dependent cancers (though the evidence for its effectiveness so far is inconclusive). (Source)
Additionally, blueberries provide Vitamin C, which we talked about above for its antioxidant and testosterone boosting benefits as they relate to decreased cortisol levels.
With all these testosterone related benefits, it’s hard to deny blueberries are one of the best choices if your goal is to increase levels naturally. | <urn:uuid:08dd2764-616a-479a-bb6c-967d7b7ce1fd> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://ofiakukitchen.biz/10-foods-that-boosts-testosterone/ | 2022-08-12T02:37:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571538.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20220812014923-20220812044923-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.943919 | 1,962 |

New Feature - Registration via ClubRegistration.NET
NECC is now using ClubRegistration.NET to manage registration for its high performance driving events. Click HERE to learn how to use it!
New Feature - Your Permanent Car Number
Hello NECC Drivers, Here at NECC, we thought you'd like to have a permanent car number that's all
yours. So, we created a list matches drivers' names to car numbers. In most cases, the number assigned to you matches the number you requested in
your most recent registration.
CLICK HERE to see the list.
In a number of cases, two or more drivers requested the same number when they registered. If you are one of those people, the number assigned to you likely has a prefix or suffix of either "1", 4 or "7". For example, a person who select 66 could be given 166 instead. Why "1" 4 and "7"? Because they are easy to add to your requested number with either tape or white shoe polish for a quick fix at the track.
Please take a look and see if you are on the list. If not, that means you'll need to pick a number that's not already assigned when you register for our next event. Of course, if youre no longer driving with NECC, please give us a quick reply back to let us know, so we can release that number. Also, let us know If you prefer not to be on this list, and we will remove you completely.

Homo Sapiens are not the only intelligent ones.. IBM Rational Rhapsody seems to be enhancing its ‘thinking’ capabilities with the introduction of version 8.0.5.
Let us consider you are connecting two ‘actions’ in an Activity diagram with an ObjectFlow. Until the release of 8.0.5, performing the same erroneous step would result in the following error message:
Now in IBM Rational Rhapsody 8.0.5, it automatically understands the error and intention and corrects it by converting the link to a ControlFlow (which happens to be the Intended behaviour). Isn’t that smart?
Similarly, Until the previous release (Rational Rhapsody 8.0.4), you would get the following message when an ‘Action' is connected to an ‘Object Node’ through a ControlFlow:
Here again intelligence of Rational Rhapsody 8.0.5 can be observed, the ControlFlow automatically gets converted to an ObjectFlow when an ‘Action' is connected to an ‘Object Node’: | <urn:uuid:0685a5d2-cbc5-4cec-ac28-75353e3a4f15> | CC-MAIN-2017-17 | https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/blogs/nfrsblog/entry/rational_rhapsody_intelligent_behavior?lang=en_us | 2017-05-01T00:57:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-17/segments/1492917126237.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20170423031206-00019-ip-10-145-167-34.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.864119 | 224 |
Transforming the American soldier educating the warrior-diplomat
Warman, Steven A.
Robinson, Glenn E.
MetadataShow full item record
In this thesis, we examine the current levels of cultural understanding and irregular warfare being taught in U.S. Army conventional military schools. Given engagements in Iraq and Afghanistan, it is our view that the military needs a deeper understanding of the indigenous people due to the extremely close and on-going interaction between American Soldiers and the local populations. Current analysis of the difficulties being reported suggests U.S. Army Soldiers are having trouble combating irregular warfare due to cultural misunderstandings and a lack of counterinsurgency training, thereby reflecting a likely educational gap in the U.S. Army's formal military educational training system. This thesis analyzes the current problems and difficulties Soldiers are reported to be having while attempting to combat irregular forces in non-western environments. We analyze the amount of training U.S. Army Soldiers receive in cultural understanding and irregular warfare in the military schools pipeline and conclude that there is a connection between problems Soldiers currently face and a lack of training for the conduct of operations in foreign countries. We propose a number of solutions to overcome these suspected gaps in education and suggested changes to the Army's professional education curriculum.

Not quite feeling in the party mood just yet? Yep, we hear ya. But we also fully acknowledge that NYE is simply one of those can't-miss nights to perk up, dress pretty, and raise a glass with loved ones as good tunes play all around. So, in case you need another small dose of excitement before partaking in tonight's festivities, we've found some help in the latest shots of GQ's January '13 issue.
Featuring the coolest motley crew of musicians we love (and constantly tune in to), the pics capture Blood Orange's Devonté Hynes and Grizzly Bear's Ed Droste, along with one of our own favorite stars of style and song, Solange Knowles.
While the men's mag feature is all about a new take on party dressing for the guys — bow ties and shawl-collared tux jackets look dapper as ever — it's Knowles, as we expected, that kills it in a printed party dress and strappy zebra-striped sandals. Wailing away on the mic, with a backup band holding blowup instruments (a different kind of wind instrument, if you will), Bey's little sister supplies just the right amount of inspiration to get our own special night started. Now, who's going to bring the inflatable sax? (GQ)

Ancient lands full of modern surprises
A holiday in the Middle East is as diverse as the region itself. Depending upon interpretation, there are around 15 countries in the area including Israel, Lebanon, Jordan, Oman and the United Arab Emirates. Within this historic region there are grand cities of history - the facades in Jordan's Petra are a must see - and thriving metropolises of religious and cultural significance such as Jerusalem and Damascus to name a few.
In addition to the character-laden urban settlements, Middle Eastern landscapes harbour seas of dunes, palm-fringed oases and sociable seaside resorts. The bright waters of the Dead Sea will see you floating dreamily due to its high levels of salinity. Conversely, the Red Sea provides excellent opportunities for diving. If diving into the high life is more your style, don't miss Dubai – the flashiest of the United Arab Emirates. The UAE's low-key capital, Abu Dhabi, is also worthy of exploration, especially to see the contrasts between it and Dubai.
Many holidays in the Middle East consist of Dubai and nothing else. To make the most of your trip, consider including a stay in Abu Dhabi as well which is just over an hours drive from Dubai.
When to go
For desert hot year round, a holiday in the Middle East is the answer. Temperatures in the region are fully capable of reaching well over 40 degrees Celsius, and they often do in July and August when the region is at its hottest. For more baerable temperatures, the shoulder months of September to November and March to May are ideal for enjoying the region's outdoor pursuits. Culturally, it is recommended to avoid travelling to the Middle East during Ramadan. The event takes place at a different time each year (ask your consultant for the specific time), and is when many of the region's Muslim population abstain from food, drink and tobacco during the day. As a result, many businesses within the region close or offer limited hours during this time.

Each month two different inflation rates are released by the government. One is the total inflation rate, and the other is the so-called core rate, which excludes price changes for food and energy. N.C. State University economist Mike Walden explains why we track inflation without including food and energy prices.
“Some people think this is kind of a plot by the government to hide what the real inflation rate is, but, seriously these two kinds of inflation rates have been released for a long time. And there can be big differences, for example, if we look at the July inflation rates and we express these on an annual basis, the total rate was 6 percent. The core rate was only 2.4 percent.
“The rationale for the core rate, which … excludes energy and food prices, is that those prices can be very volatile. They can be affected by the weather. They can be affected by disruptions in supply — for example, violence in the Middle East. And …. they can move up and down very rapidly. In fact, if we look at the total rate — which does include energy and food prices — it has bounced around a lot. The core rate has been much more stable.
“Now of course the counter-argument is, is that the total inflation rate is really what matters to households. We do eat, and we do use energy, so we ought to track those prices. The good news is that we can report both, and we can perceive if both are going in the same direction.
“And actually if you look over the last year, the total rate has been moving up. So, too, has the core rate. So they’re really telling us the same thing.”Category: Economic Perspective | <urn:uuid:80db83b1-00df-46af-b40d-2c56925e53a3> | CC-MAIN-2016-40 | https://projects.ncsu.edu/cals/agcomm/news-center/economic-perspective/core-inflation/ | 2016-09-25T22:32:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-40/segments/1474738660436.26/warc/CC-MAIN-20160924173740-00007-ip-10-143-35-109.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.970639 | 360 |

Donnellon: Jim Schwartz still searching for answers
Remember when we figured Jim Schwartz was one and done here, and the only question was which lucky team out there was going to make him their next head coach?
How many years ago was that?
Oh, right. It was just two months ago, after the Eagles whupped the Steelers, 34-3 at the Linc to improve to 3-0, after people started looking into flights to Houston, before millions of disappointed fans followed such folly with the trite but appropriate nod to NASA:
"Houston, we have a problem…''
Back then, Schwartz's wide-9, his utilization of a front 4 that was behaving as advertised, made it appear that the Eagles might survive just fine with a corps of cornerbacks that had caused so much anxiety in the walk-up to the regular season.
Um, OK… Maybe not.
Both Russell Wilson and Aaron Rodgers turned stops into re-starts and extended drives. But it is worthwhile to note that Schwartz's line about how "my changeups didn't work, either'' came after a loss to the Redskins and their pocket-passing quarterback, Kirk Cousins - after the Eagles' defense broke down two weeks in a row against guys not known for their legs (Matthew Stafford).
With the exception of the mummified Sam Bradford in a Week 7 victory over Minnesota, opponents have been hitting quite well against Schwartz's changeups. Did he forget what he was doing? Hardly. But injuries to his secondary have forced him to promote and use practice squad players, made him even more reluctant to blitz, and allowed teams to max-protect with greater frequency on the safe bet one of their receivers will pop open given the extra time.
Still, it's a league of what have you done for me lately. If you were worried about Schwartz going elsewhere after this season, well, there's your good news. Until his secondary improves, he's not going anywhere.
The bad news, of course, is that neither are the Eagles. | <urn:uuid:5f198f1a-742f-4bbe-acb4-cd46f0448e01> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | https://www.inquirer.com/philly/blogs/pattisonave/Donnellon-Jim-Schwartz-still-searching-for-answers.html | 2023-12-07T22:39:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100705.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20231207221604-20231208011604-00352.warc.gz | en | 0.985319 | 419 |
Kildare County Council is to seek funding to provide a pedestrian bridge in Sallins.
The money will be applied for under the Rural Regeneration and Development Fund (RRDF) for Sallins.
Money is also being sought to develop a town centre in the area of the main street and the canal.
And this will also include pedestrian and cyclist connections across the canal as well as into the train station, and between the canal and the Naas to Sallins Greenway.
Cllr Sorcha O’Neill said: “It’s great to see some action on these issues that have been highlighted over the last few years.”
She is hopeful the application will be successful “since Sallins has seen zero investment in its public amenities and public realm areas.”
A pedestrian bridge is seen as something which would serve as a safe route for children attending the primary school.
Before the RRDF became available, the county council said it did not have funding to do the work and the necessary money to pay for the job would have to come from the National Transport Authority.
Cllr O’Neill was sceptical about the prospect of securing money from the NTA when this issue was raised at a Naas Municipal District meeting in March.
“This won’t rate extremely high on the NTA radar,” she said.

Chapter 33 - John 16:32 - "An hour is coming"
Written down through Jacob Lorber on February 19th, 1844
1. "See, an hour is coming and has now come, that you are scattered, each to his own, and leave Me alone! Yet I am not alone, the Father is with Me."
2. This text says what is openly displayed before you, and has been there already since My ascension. Therefore, this text is one of the easiest, for its meaning is simple and can be grasped by both hands and feet at the same time.
3. Only one thing needs to be explained, and that is, what difference lies between... The 'time' comes..., or when it says... The 'hour' comes.... With 'time' is meant a date, which will come under an unspecified 'when'. But 'hour' is a definition of an immediate date of accomplishment of the pronounced statement.
4. Every now and then, you will find 'time' instead of 'hour' in this text. But that is wrong; for it must say... 'The hour comes...'. And the reason for this is, the result of this prophetic statement arrived immediately thereafter.
5. What is meant with this scattering? Maybe the personal separation of My disciples and apostles, everyone to a different place? - Oh no! Because that was their destiny, and for that reason I have appointed them, to go out into all countries and preach the gospel to all creatures!
6. Wouldn't it have been nonsense on My part, to make an evil prophecy of their profession? This way, the called messengers of My word would have to stay together in a bundle in order to not do anything evil, like some orders and congregations of your time are doing, which, in their substance, are doing as much good as a bunch of meteors would at the bottom of the ocean. It certainly would leave a great and terrible impression on the one, who sees them plunging into the sea; but once they have reached the steady ground of the ocean, they'd just rest there, doing nothing except being an underlayment for some hungry polyps.
7. Therefore, there isn't even a single trace of a personal and local scattering contained in this prophecy, of which even the text itself already testifies, for it says... 'But even if you will leave Me, I will still not be alone; for the Father is with Me.'
8. Now, judge for yourself... Can anybody leave Me - personally or locally? Where should he go, in order to stand closer to Me or further away? Where will he be further away from Me, in South America or in North Asia? - I mean, this is certainly one and the same for Me, as being the Omnipresent! So, as stated before, this is not about a local scattering.
9. But then, what kind of scattering are we talking about here? - Look at the sects, which currently exist right before your eyes, and even existed to some extent back in My days, - which was the reason I made this prophecy in the first place! And when you look at the debates between my first two apostles, it must become very clear to you, what kind of scattering was meant, and you will, like I've stated before, grasp it with your hands and feet, what I prophesized to My disciples and apostles.
10. Only a few centuries after My ascension the fragmentation was already that huge, that nobody knew anymore, who is the cook and who is the waiter! Great councils had to take place, but even after those, they were fragmented, just like before.
11. How it looks now, I surely do not need to explain to you, for wherever you look, you will see the fragmentation!
12. It says... 'Everyone to his place.' That means as much as... 'Each sect thinks of itself as the best and purest one.' Am I alone because of that? - Oh no! Because the Father, or the first love, is within Me!
13. I recognize My people by their love, but not by the sect! Whoever loves Me and keeps My word, carries the love of the Father within him; just like I have the Father within Me, - and He is one with Me, like I am one with Him! That is why I am not alone; for the Father is within Me, and in the same way, I am within everyone, and all, who love and follow Me, are within Me.
14. The sect does not make any difference, and cursed are those, who prefer one sect over the other out of a worldly deference! Because in no sect is truth and life, everything is based on a coerced faith and faith by persuasion, which is not a whit better. Question, where does the free man exist therein?
15. When have I ever compelled anyone to believe anything? - I left each one the choice to decide for themselves! Those, who were not satisfied by My works and their own inner conviction, they were not forced by any other means, for I have not given My teaching for the faith, but only for the deed.
16. I did not say... 'If you believe in Me, then, out of your loins will flow rivers of living waters!', but I said... 'Whoever acts according to My word, will experience, if My teaching comes from God or from the men!'
17. What benefit would a demand to believe have brought? For I had certainly foreseen that much, that the light would illuminate the objects differently, in the same way, as the objects are different!
18. And it's exactly the same with the light of faith! Depending on the way it falls on different coloured human minds, in that way it must illuminate it. However, a demand that one and the same light should reverberate from all the thousand coloured minds in a complete white, would be for sure the greatest folly!
19. The effect of the light must be various, but the effect of love is always the same, just like the warmth has only one effect, namely... it warms the red as much as the blue, and everything can be made to glow, and the color of the living love is forever one and the same, and glowing gold is no different than a glowing piece of iron.
20. Look, this is the meaning of this text! Therefore, don't scatter yourselves, but abide in the love, and you will live! Amen. | <urn:uuid:4f3858c1-308b-4739-805e-6e84190bc8c5> | CC-MAIN-2021-21 | https://search.jesus-comes.com/index.php?title=SCRE-33 | 2021-05-12T02:14:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-21/segments/1620243991693.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20210512004850-20210512034850-00264.warc.gz | en | 0.973636 | 1,353 |

Public Influenza (Flu) Clinics
For general information about flu, the vaccine and who should receive it, and to find a flu vaccination clinic in your area, visit the Health Map Vaccine Finder website.
Influenza is a serious disease, and people of any age can get it. In an average year, the flu causes 36,000 deaths and more than 200,000 hospitalizations in the United States. The "flu season" in the United States is usually from November through April each year. During this time, flu viruses are circulating in the population. An annual flu vaccine (either the flu shot or the nasal-spray) is the best way to reduce your risk of getting the flu.
Public Flu Clinic Schedules
Flu vaccination clinics are usually scheduled in the Fall of every year. Information about dates, times and locations will be posted on the website, as the schedule becomes available.
The fee is set each year, based on the cost of the vaccine.

Assessment, Feedback, Incentives, & Exchange (AFIX)
AFIX is a quality improvement strategy to raise immunization coverage levels. The approach provides a quality assurance measure for public and private immunization providers, presents an excellent educational opportunity, encourages private and public partnerships, and increases awareness among immunization providers.
The immunization program provides these provider-based immunization assessments to measure immunization coverage levels of two-year-olds and adolescents, and then provide helpful feedback. A written report is prepared and shared with the office that outlines coverage levels and suggested interventions to improve and sustain the levels. Many local offices have participated in these assessments. Call the Immunization Program at 607-753-5028 if your office is interested. | <urn:uuid:571ae4cb-911a-437b-8ed1-9a15eb446a32> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://www.cortland-co.org/581/Immunization-Program | 2017-05-29T00:17:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463612003.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20170528235437-20170529015437-00251.warc.gz | en | 0.93051 | 904 |

A determined and jovial Mayor Thomas M. Menino described Boston Monday as a city on the rise, with construction expected to triple this year, sky-high bond ratings, and more parents forsaking the suburbs to live downtown and choosing to send their children to city schools.
In a major speech before 500 business and civic leaders, the mayor announced that Wegmans Food Market will open its first Boston store, in the Landmark Center in the Fenway. Menino also unveiled plans to put 10,000 more tablet computers in the hands of public school students in the next two years. And he proposed creating 30,000 housing units by 2020 to meet the surging demand to live in the city.
“I have never been more confident about Boston,” Menino said at the annual luncheon of the Boston Municipal Research Bureau, a government watchdog funded by businesses and nonprofits. “Look around and you see that Boston’s many successes are only half the story. It’s the pace of our progress that sets us apart.”
Menino made no mention of whether he will seek a sixth term, a decision he must make in the next eight weeks. He also avoided any direct reference to Councilor John R. Connolly, who is running for mayor and who during his kickoff rally last week took aim at Menino, referring to the 20-year incumbent as the “comfortable status quo” that hampers progress.
Instead, Menino laid out a forward-looking agenda, some of which seemed to be a shot back at Connolly. He announced an $11 million overhaul to Millennium Park on Connolly’s home turf in West Roxbury. Menino highlighted the recent purchase of a building for a school near downtown as he dedicated a significant portion of the speech to education, an issue Connolly has made the centerpiece of his campaign. The mayor also seemed to answer Connolly’s refrain from his kickoff rally about the status quo.
“I have always said that the status quo is moving backward,” Menino said. “Just moving forward isn’t enough. We have to move ahead aggressively and relentlessly.”
As a city councilor, Connolly sat in the audience with a “John Connolly for mayor” button on his lapel. Connolly said he agreed with most of the proposals in Menino’s speech, but wanted to know what took so long. Connolly also said some of the mayor’s proposals echoed initiatives he is pushing for in his own campaign.
“We could have had a downtown school 10 years ago,” Connolly said. “We could have had a housing policy aimed at retaining young families and young talent for the past decade. We’re in react mode when we should be thinking about a vision for the next 10 years.”
The audience included other mayoral hopefuls who may run if Menino does not seek reelection, including state Representative Martin J. Walsh and Councilors Rob Consalvo and Tito Jackson.
At the podium, Menino appeared happy and at ease, frequently drifting off his prepared remarks to make a joke or an editorial quip. He made one reference to his time at City Hall, noting that Samuel R. Tyler had been head of the Research Bureau for 30 years but, “everybody worries about Tom Menino being mayor for 20 years.”
Menino said construction at the long dormant Filene’s site at Downtown Crossing would begin this spring. He also described a new online program for permits that debuts next month that is designed to cut through red tape and reduce waiting time.
Menino thanked Tyler and the Research Bureau for its opposition to a plan pending in the City Council that would create a hybrid School Committee with some elected members. All members of the school committee are currently appointed by the mayor.
Menino said the Research Bureau advocates for good ideas and “rightfully push[es] back against bad ones, like re-politicizing the Boston School Committee. This proposal would only put the special interests ahead of our kids’ interests.”
The School Department will launch a $30 million Quality Advisory Panel, Menino said, that will be led by Hardin Coleman, dean of the Boston University School of Education, and Meg Campbell, a school committee member and the founder and executive director of the Codman Academy Charter Public School.
The money, half of which must be spent on facility improvements, will be spent over three years, with some of it being used to reward effective teachers and school leaders. The money will also support 21 schools that the district deemed in need of additional support in September.
Menino also touted the new school assignment plan, a new “in-district” charter school at the Marshall School in Dorchester, and the expectation that school enrollment will hit an eight-year high.
“When you have young families who want to live in your downtown and want to send their kids to your public schools, it says a lot about your city,” Menino said. “And it says a lot about your schools.”
After the speech, Tyler, of the Research Bureau, said the mayor laid out “an ambitious agenda for himself and the administration.”
“He hasn’t announced [he is running for reelection],” Tyler said. “But if he had, I’d say it was a good campaign speech.”
Speaking to reporters, Menino dismissed questions about another campaign. Several times he said, “Boston is on the move,” and he seemed wistful about his political standing.
“I’m at peace about where the city is going,” Menino said. “Everybody is raising these issues out there, I know the real numbers. I know how people feel about the city. I’m real relaxed about it.”Andrew Ryan can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.org.

January 29, 2013.
This is Marcus. He dressed up as this monster once for Halloween and got stuck that way, like when you hold a silly face for too long.
He’s my boyfriend. Well, he’s my second boyfriend, like second breakfast. Today is bring your tiny monster boyfriend to work day.
Marcus is a little skeptical that this is actually my job. I don’t talk to anyone, I don’t help people, and overall it just doesn’t seem like a good match. I told him to just wait and see what happens in the future.
He’s sort of more of a button masher, so he probably won’t be much help today.
Marcus has decided to put down his club and spend most of the day watching traffic.
Marcus is grumpy because we are sharing lunch, and lunch is just rice with some teriyaki sauce in it. He is not impressed with my poor girl eating habits.
Hold on tight, Marcus, it’s time to go home.
Marcus is on his first ever car wash adventure. He doesn’t know what to expect, so his weapon is ready, just in case.

From the start, it’s been made very clear that The Witcher on Netflix is adapting the original books, not the CDPR video games. And yet, here in season 2 of the show, the video game influences introduced by mega-nerd Henry Cavill are spreading.
The look of a few characters in The Witcher season 2 has been changed pretty dramatically, and the result is something more in keeping with the characters we recognize from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
Ciri is first, and she practically looks like a different actress this time around. Not much time has passed between the end of season 1 and the beginning of season 2, but it feels like she’s practically aged five years just because of how she’s styled. And though she doesn’t have fully white hair yet, the similarities between this new version of Ciri from the games are pretty obvious.
The biggest change is actually a pretty simple one: She no longer has bleached eyebrows, which gives her less of an elfen, ethereal appearance, and closer to Ciri from the games. Turns out this was actress Freya Allen’s request:
“I was the one who said, ‘I’m so sorry, but if we are’ — which hopefully we will — ‘get to do many more seasons, I am not going to have any eyebrows left if they are bleached every day of The Witcher. They won’t be there anymore.’ And also it requires you spending however many months walking around in the streets looking like you are off Mars. I genuinely had people stop me when I had the bleached eyebrows being like, ‘Where are you from,’ and they were so curious because I literally looked like a little alien wondering around. It was my choice. I said, ‘I think we’re done with the bleached eyebrows. I think that was a bad idea.’ So yeah, ditched the eyebrows. I mean, just got my own usual eyebrows back!”

The second character who has gotten a bit of a game-based makeover is Triss, who has a larger role this season, and now has much redder hair. I’m not quite sure if that’s supposed to have to do with her being burned at the big battle, but it’s a very clear change. Past that, the hairstyles she wears this season seem a lot closer to Triss from the games, along with a few of her outfits.
And while Vesemir is a new character introduced this season for the first time, it’s clear he couldn’t be styled closer to the game version as well:
Yes, some of this may just be veering closer to the book descriptions, but if you’ve played the games, the move toward the representations of the characters we’ve seen in CDPR games seems pretty clear. It’s so widespread it seems like the show more or less gave up and decided to let the games influence the look, as it’s made everyone look better. Henry Cavill’s Geralt has already been heavily influenced by the games, both in appearance and in manner, so why not everyone else?
Anyway, it’s been cool to see this as I work my way through season 2 here.

I love this dramatic soldier carved from a single piece of tigereye. It's a very hefty size 8.5 ring - about 3/4" and almost 1/2" high. The main metal is sterling w/etching and on both sides a gold panel maybe to engrave? Inside it is inscribed Bill Lane Jr. It's been resized down right at the n and e...
I found this in Spokane several yrs ago and didn't pay much because the cameo is chipped at lower left and cracked at top. Here's a good example of a ring that might not be worth too much because of those issues but is so beautiful and can't be passed by.
If you have any more info or know Bill Lan??e Jr. would appreciate hearing from you.

If a patient suffers harm as a result of negligent medical treatment in Illinois, the doctor, hospital, or other medical provider may be liable for medical malpractice. In this article, we'll discuss key state laws that will likely affect a medical malpractice case in Illinois, including the "statute of limitations" deadline for filing the lawsuit, and the current state of "caps" on damages in Illinois medical malpractice cases. Read on for the details.
A "statute of limitations" is a law that sets a time limit on the right to file a lawsuit. There are different deadlines for different kinds of cases.
In Illinois, you must start a medical malpractice lawsuit against a doctor or other health care provider within two years of when you became aware of, or should have become aware of, the provider's negligent action (or inaction) in connection with your medical treatment. That's the standard filing deadline in Illinois. But the state also follows a so-called "statute of repose," which says that regardless of when you discover that you were harmed by medical negligence, if more than four years have passed since the malpractice occurred, you're barred from filing a lawsuit against the provider.
In other words, if you discover the malpractice injury more than four years after the occurrence of the conduct that caused it, your lawsuit will be thrown out. What's more, if you sue more than two years after you discover an injury that might have been caused by medical malpractice, or more than two years after you should have (in the eyes of the law anyway) figured out that the injury might have been caused by malpractice, your lawsuit will be thrown out.
There are complex rules for patients who were under the age of 18 or subject to a legal disability when the alleged malpractice occurred. Talk to an Illinois attorney about these exceptions if you think they might apply to your situation.
The details of the Illinois medical malpractice statute of limitations are spelled out at 735 ILCS 5/13-212.
In Illinois, according to 735 ILCS 5/2-622, a medical malpractice plaintiff must file, alongside the lawsuit, an affidavit declaring that the "affiant" (usually the plaintiff's attorney) has reviewed the facts of the case with a qualified health care professional who:
The affiant must further declare that, after reviewing the plaintiff's case (treatment records and other evidence), the consulted health care professional has determined that "there is a reasonable and meritorious cause" for the filing of the medical malpractice lawsuit. This determination must be included in a written report, authored by the health care professional, and attached to the initial lawsuit doucmentation.
If the plaintiff's attorney is unable to get the required consultation because the statute of limitations filing deadline is approaching, the affidavit must state this at the time of the filing of the lawsuit, and a second, compliant affidavit and health care professional's report must be filed with the court no more than 90 days after the filing of the lawsuit.
This is a somewhat simplified explanation of the "affidavit of merit" requirement. For details, talk to an attorney or dive into the relevant statute at 735 ILCS 5/2-622.
Illinois has a law on the books that sets a cap on the amount of compensation that a medical malpractice plaintiff can recover in the way of non-economic damages (including "pain and suffering") after a successful lawsuit. But in 2010, the Illinois Supreme Court ruled that this law was unconstitutional, so there are currently no statutory caps on medical malpractice damages in effect in Illinois. | <urn:uuid:8528ef7a-e4b6-4e3e-9fda-b8b5ded7f3ab> | CC-MAIN-2021-31 | https://www.alllaw.com/articles/nolo/medical-malpractice/laws-illinois.html | 2021-08-03T17:36:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-31/segments/1627046154466.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20210803155731-20210803185731-00391.warc.gz | en | 0.956742 | 735 |

Natural hair dye formulations are becoming more and more sophisticated. Whether you want to discreetly hide your mousey roots or experiment with this year's hottest colour trends, switching your hair up a shade is one of the quickest ways to transform your look. But did you know that many permanent hair colours contain ingredients that not only cause long-term damage to hair but can cause scary allergic reactions too?
One key ingredient to look out for is paraphenylenediamine (PPD), which can cause anything from a mild skin irritation to anaphylactic shock to even a deadly reaction in extreme, but thankfully rare, cases. "Every time you color your hair, your immune system registers a foreign particle on the scalp," says Rob Forgione, the national color educator for hair care brand O&M. "Most of the time there's no problem, but there can be a time when somebody has a PPD colour on their hair and they have a reaction. It could happen after 40 years, or on the first colour, and it can be quite intense."
Checking the ingredients list on your favorite hair dye for PPD is a good place to start, but it isn't the only thing you need to worry about. Ammonia is an ingredient to avoid, as it strips the hair of protein and can be really damaging, and resorcinol is another nasty that can affect thyroid function.
Sounds scary, but there can be less extreme reasons for wanting to switch to a more natural solution too. Maybe you're doing Veganuary and want to make sure your bathroom is as free from animal products as your fridge. Maybe you're pregnant, or are just conscious of the effect on the environment of all those chemicals.
The natural color of your hair will determine what you'll be able to do with it using natural products. Lots of natural dyes are henna-based, which can add warmth to darker hair and really brighten things up. But if you're looking to go lighter, things get tricky as a bleach is usually needed to strip back the natural color. And if you're fair to start with, you'll find plenty of shades from strawberry blonde to more experimental pastels will work better.
Whatever your motivation and natural color, the good news is that more natural hair dyes now look better than ever.

L'Oréal Professionnel has launched its first 100% plant-based and vegan in-salon hair color. The three natural powders: henna, indigo and cassia, are mixed together by the colorist in different ratios to achieve different colors, from light brown to blonde in cool and warm tones.
If you're already blonde, you may still want a helping hand ensuring you stay on the right side of golden. Enter this organic, herbal solution.
Trust Lush to bring natural hair color to the high street. The brand's henna range blends the natural red dye with other ingredients to create a broad range of shades. This rich chestnut also contains indigo and coffee.
This long-lasting color will leave hair feeling soft and conditioned, and will even help hide the greys, something some natural hair dyes struggle to do.
Add a hint of warmth to fair hair with this natural, organic strawberry blonde tint.
If you're thinking pink, you can hardly go wrong with Manic Panic's range of semi-permanent, vegan colors. But you'll need to lighten your hair first to get the best results.
The formulations in the Saach Organics range are based on Ayurvedic principles, including the range of semi-permanent henna-based colors.
This promises to be permanent, so be sure to think twice before you take the plunge. If you decide to go for it, expect vibrant, conditioned locks that last.
All right, so this isn't really a hair dye, but if your blonde hair is looking a bit sad and sun-starved, this lightening and brightening shampoo should give it a lift.
