Dear Readers, in my last blog, I told you about planting gooseberry bushes. Now I want to tell you about the ups and downs of using gooseberries, and how I landed on the upside in case you might want to add them to your nursery catalog order.
Remember that it was my tasting a gooseberry crisp that started it all, so my goal was getting enough gooseberries to make one. The first "down" was the first year when something ate off the berries. The next down came the second year after protecting the bushes. I was able to harvest enough for my crisp, but it was tedious work since gooseberries have both a stem and a tail. Cleaning two or three cups for a crisp was time consuming, and not in my plans for a happy farm life. It just wasn't worth it, and I was disappointed.
The third year, the bushes were quite large and loaded with berries. Loaded! What on earth was I going to do with all those gooseberries? As usual, the world wide web saved the day, or berries, you might say. The answer was gooseberry jelly. You don't need to take off the stem or tail, and it has a unique and tantalizing flavor. So, I happily landed on the “up" side, and can honestly say that I highly recommend adding gooseberries to your garden. Now, to tell you how easy it is to make this scrumptious jelly!
Although the bushes have thorns, you simply lift up a branch with one hand and grab handfuls off with the other.
Rinse the berries, and heat them in a pot until they start to release their juices. I chose to smash them a little.
Place the hot berries in a jelly bag and let drip. Sometimes towards the end, I give the bag a little squeeze. Those nasty stems and tails I was telling you about will stay in the jelly bag. Now how simple is that?!
I read several recipes on the web on how to make and process the jelly, but preferred the “Julie Stops By Nana Murphy’s House” short video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCAVAG_POO8
For some reason green gooseberries turn into a lovely rose colored jelly. How curious!
A bonus is that you do not need to use expensive pectin as the berries themselves contain it; especially the green ones. However, my jelly is slightly runny. I could have added pectin to the following batches, but didn’t. As the jelly sits on the shelf, it does solidify more, but we just call it syrup. Larry loves it on French toast, pancakes and vanilla ice cream. In fact, he talked me into picking and processing all the gooseberries. When I asked him what we were going to do with all of that jelly, he said that we could give it away. So, if you invite me over, I’ll probably bring you a jar!
Now, be sure to add gooseberry bushes to your catalog order list! | <urn:uuid:48edd06e-e0d6-4289-b12b-4c02e5152d44> | CC-MAIN-2017-13 | http://www.cappersfarmer.com/yard-and-garden/vegetables-fruit-and-herbs/the-upside-of-gooseberries | 2017-03-29T03:29:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-13/segments/1490218190181.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20170322212950-00137-ip-10-233-31-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.976928 | 638 |
Well my first archer bases have been completed over my last few painting sessions. I have gone for the scruffed up medieval look...soap was probably not a priority on a medieval campaign. The rest of the pack has been assembled and undercoated so as they are based I will put a pic on here.
I am forever doomed if the Perries release anything in plastic for the colonial period or seven years war! On the whole I think that the Perries deserve a knighthood for releasing these figures in plastic. | <urn:uuid:0d9bbfb0-112c-4476-a6aa-31047a613585> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://carl-solowargaming.blogspot.com/2010/08/first-two-bases-of-archers-complete.html | 2017-10-23T22:20:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187826840.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20171023221059-20171024001059-00773.warc.gz | en | 0.974019 | 108 |

- Clinical Massage — Clinical massage is a tailored treatment for what the patient is feeling at that moment. By working with a chiropractor’s suggestion, this type of massage can muscularly re-align your body to an anatomically correct posture. It may include medical folding (putting the body into pain free positions) in order to massage the area without discomfort to the deepest tissue for that particular person’s needs. It works the muscles according to their shape, and thus provides a quick range of motion recovery for the patient. Click here for more details.
- Deep Tissue Massage — Deep tissue massage targets the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. The massage therapist uses slower strokes or friction techniques across the grain of the muscle. Deep tissue massage is used for chronically tight or painful muscles, repetitive strain, postural problems, or recovery from injury. Click here for more information.
- Pregnancy Massage — Also called prenatal massage, pregnancy massage is becoming increasingly popular with expectant mothers. Massage therapists who are certified in pregnancy massage know the proper way to position and support the woman’s body during the massage, and how to modify techniques. Pregnancy massage is used to reduce stress, decrease swelling, relieve aches and pains, and reduce anxiety and depression. The massage is customized to a woman’s individual needs.
- Sports Massage— Sports massage is specifically designed for people who are involved in physical activity. But you don’t have to be a professional athlete to have one, it’s also used by people who are active and work out often. The focus isn’t on relaxation but on preventing and treating injury and enhancing athletic performance. The strokes are generally faster than Swedish massage. Facilitated stretching is a common technique. It helps to loosen muscles and increase flexibility. Click here to learn more.
Don’t forget you can always have a “massage date” in Traverse City with a friend or loved one. We would be happy to schedule your couples massages at the same time and in the same room or separate rooms so you can go have lunch together afterwards.

One of the greatest motivating forces for Donald Knuth when he began developing the original TeX system was to create something that allowed simple construction of mathematical formulae, while looking professional when printed. The fact that he succeeded was most probably why TeX and later on, LaTeX became so popular within the scientific community.
commands Math latex
This is because LaTeX typesets maths notation differently from normal text. In this instance, you want the sign to appear close to the appropriate element to show their association. Manual sizing can also be useful when an equation is too large, trails off the end of the page, and must be separated into two lines using an align command.
How to use braces in multi line equations is described in the Advanced Mathematics chapter. The AMS American Mathematical Society mathematics package is a powerful package that creates a higher layer of abstraction over mathematical LaTeX language; if you use it it will make your life easier. Just one set around the expression won't be enough. | <urn:uuid:5554ffa5-6308-4189-acc5-c4a9a77e0ef8> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://arct-z.info/orgasm/commands-math-latex.php | 2019-11-14T13:39:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496668525.62/warc/CC-MAIN-20191114131434-20191114155434-00502.warc.gz | en | 0.915159 | 202 |
It’s always fun to welcome a new model before it has any hype or really that much information made public about it. The latest discovery is a model with clear running influences, though it’s not immediately clear if this is a new performance model or more of a casual shoe with serious tech specs. In either case, the Nike LunarRestoa catches your eye with its sleek slip-on construction and the patterns adorning the upper. One rocks a camouflage print centered around the new Kumquat green, while the other opts for a sort of Bengals-colored leopard print.

PING PHOENIX JUNIOR
Moon Valley Country Club
Phoenix, Ariz. • June 7 - 10
Arizona Natives Take Their Second Co-Championship at PING Phoenix Junior
PHOENIX, Ariz. — After taking an early lead in the first round at the PING Phoenix Junior, Trey Kaahanui of Tempe, Ariz., pulled away with a tournament total of 6-under-par 210 to grab the No. 1 spot in the Boys Division. With a strong lead from yesterday's second round, Kyung Kim of Chandler, Ariz., secured the win in the Girls Division with a tournament total of 2-under-par 214. The pair is sharing their second co-championship together. Both Kaahanui and Kim took first place at the Winn Grips Heather Farr Classic hosted by Longbow Golf Club in 2008.
Conducted by the American Junior Golf Association, the PING Phoenix Junior was a 54-hole stroke play event held at Moon Valley Country Club. The 78-player field featured players from 11 states, Canada, Columbia and Switzerland. The Boys Division played the par-72 course at 7,210 yards while the Girls Division played at 6,373 yards.
After putting well in the first round to lead the event, Kaahanui focused on improving his long game and making things work off the tee. His strategy helped him come out with his second AJGA win.
“This week, the biggest thing was keeping my tee shots in play; it helped me to not make big scores,” Kaahanui said. “Everything I hit was off the ground and my three birdies on Nos. 4, 8 and 9 really helped me keep my numbers low.”
Finishing one stroke behind Kaahanui was Alex McMahon of Tucson, Ariz., who placed second with a 5-under-par 211. Tied for third are Kevin Lee of Cerritos, Calif., and Nathan Weant of Hallsville, Texas, with tournament totals of 4-under-par 212. Kyle Jones of Taylor, Ariz., rounded out the top five of the Boys Division with a 3-under-par 213.
After occupying the ninth position following the first round, Kim quickly climbed her way up the leaderboard to the No. 1 spot in the second round. As a second-team Rolex Junior All-American, this win gives Kim her third AJGA title. She attributes her success today to the several birdie opportunities she set up for herself.
“I birdied Nos. 7 and 10, which put me at 2-under-par and really got my momentum going,” Kim said. “I was hitting greens and making it easy for me to par. Then No. 16 was really crazy, I thought I was way off, but my ball just kept rolling and stopped 3 feet from the hole and I was able to make par.”
Jenny Hahn of Henderson, Nev., finished two shots back with an even-par 216. Lilia Vu of Fountain Valley, Calif., took third place with a 2-over-par 218.
The American Junior Golf Association is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the overall growth and development of young men and women who aspire to earn college golf scholarships through competitive junior golf. The AJGA provides valuable exposure for college golf scholarships, and has an annual junior membership (boys and girls ages 12-18) of approximately 5,000 junior golfers from 49 states and 30 countries. To ensure scholarship opportunities for all junior golfers who have the skill, the AJGA created the Achieving Competitive Excellence (ACE) Grant program to provide financial assistance to young players in need.
Titleist, the AJGA's National Sponsor, has been the catalyst and driving force behind the Association's success since 1989. Rolex Watch USA, which is in its third decade of AJGA support, became the inaugural AJGA Premier Partner in 2004. In 2007, after 12 years of support, Polo Ralph Lauren became the AJGA's second Premier Partner.
AJGA alumni have risen to the top of amateur, collegiate and professional golf. Former AJGA juniors have compiled more than 400 victories on the PGA and LPGA Tours. AJGA alumni include Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Stewart Cink, Cristie Kerr, Paula Creamer and Morgan Pressel.

Document Sharing Backlinks
Document sharing is a word document or a text pad either way it’s going to be converted into a Pdf. That’s kind of the big ideas that a lot of these websites are using Pdf to share a lot of their information. So this is a document sharing and what you’re going to do is be able to syndicate this to multiple different networks. I am just going to show you a few document sharing websites that you can use again there’s software that does this as well.
The main thing that we want to cover is the idea that when you have a word or a text document you are converting it to Pdf. This at the beginning portion of it is a one to one copy, so what you need to do is often take another article word or text that you have maybe used already combining that together. Even you know add some of those sentences share together or you could just simply rewrite it.
This is going to be even more powerful but once you do this you know if you have two into one you can you’re just trying to make something unique original. so that’s why it’s not going to be seen as duplicate content by Google when you share this. Now we don’t get syndicated to all of these different other networks is that going to be seen as do content, yes in a sense but it will still count as a link because with document sharing it’s a little bit more precise of a nature.

Michael Wolff’s new book has proven what we largely already knew: Donald Trump is patently unfit to be president. He has no policy instincts beyond prejudices that seem locked in the 1980s and zero-sum notions of industry and international relations that seem locked in the 1880s. He was never the most intellectually impressive person, but he is clearly in a state of cognitive decline, and he is also too stubborn to learn new information or even accept the advice of respected advisers. He is easy to anger, susceptible to flattery and given to authoritarian instincts. He is a clear and present danger to American democracy and world stability–and that’s without even delving into policy complaints like inaction on crises like climate change and inequality.
The big question is why Republicans not only tolerate him, but have scrambled to tie their entire brand to him and defend him even though they know a raft of damning allegations of corruption and collusion are coming soon from the FBI. It would be simple, in theory, for Republicans to refuse to act on legislation or confirmation until Trump resigned from office and allowed Vice President Mike Pence to take over. They could offer inducements behind the scenes, and a promise to pardon him for his crimes not only on the campaign but also for his business dealings.
The answer, of course, is that Republicans are far more afraid of their base than they are of Democrats, and Trump has the loyalty of the majority of the GOP base. But that’s a facile explanation that beckons us to go one layer deeper: what drives the Republican base?
The short answer is a combination of ugly prejudices, religious dominionism and upper-income greed. But it has been thus at least since the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Nixon’s Southern Strategy. What has changed is the rise of the alternative conservative media apparatus, including and especially Fox News. Even as the Republican base soured on plutocratic economics with rising inequality, the failure of trickle-down policies and the decline of the fortunes of the white working class, outlets like the Drudge Report, Fox News, Breitbart and Alex Jones kept culturally conservative stewing in a distraction soup of resentments and conspiracies.
But for the conservative media apparatus, the Republican coalition would have toppled long ago. The party has failed for decades to deliver tangible policy results for dominionist crusaders as church attendance declines and conservatives lose the culture wars. The white working class no longer believes in the doctrines of free trade and unfettered capitalism after seeing Wall Street automate and offshore blue-collar jobs just to put a few more dollars in the hands of already loaded fat cat shareholders. The wealthy donors are getting what they want, but while they have lots of money to spend on elections they represent a vanishingly small portion of the actual electorate. And then there’s the demographic challenge: it’s hard to implement racist economic policy that hurts disproportionately lower-income people of color without also hurting lower-income whites. Moreover, with each passing year of demographic change there just aren’t enough angry old white people to sustain an entire political party.
The Republican Party should, under normal circumstances, have been forced to adjust. It should have found it necessary to moderate its economic policies to attract more minority voters and actually provide real tangible benefits to the white working class. It should have been pushed to embrace a more modern and secular approach to issues. It should, in short, have adapted to the twin pressures of demographics and the policy challenges of capitalism in the 21st century.
But it has instead remained either frozen in amber or drifting further and further rightward to cater to ever more extremist factions of its base. The conservative media apparatus from talk radio to Fox News to online outlets like Drudge and Breitbart profit from ratcheting up the fears and resentments of their thralls, and prevent the evolution and growth of the conservative movement.
Which leads us to Donald Trump. Conservatives love Donald Trump because he is one of them: an angry and delusional old man completely under the spell of right wing media. For all Trump’s golden toilets and ostentatious displays of crude dictator chic, fellow Fox News cult members recognize him as a fellow traveler sharing their very same obsessions. Trump watches hours and hours of Fox News every day, calls up Rupert Murdoch for advice and uses twitter to directly respond to and promote its programming.
And Fox News has returned the favor: it obsequiously praises Trump at all hours of the day, reveling in his attention and giving him suggested talking points for the day in a symbiotic relationship. Congressional Republicans, for their part, like having a president who puts no policy pressure on them and will essentially sign whatever they give him. But the stage direction is coming from Fox.
Fox News has frequently been described as state-run media–the communications arm of the Republican Party. But that’s not entirely true. The Republican Party is actually the legislative arm of Fox News.
If Fox News gave the directive to its hosts to suggest that the president had already made the country great again in the ways that matter, and that an appreciative nation would be happy to allow him to return to private life and let Mike Pence take over the duties, most of its audience would nod willingly. The president (who never wanted this job in the first place) would be grateful for the opportunity to escape his daily hell. Americans of all stripes could breathe just a bit easier.
But Fox News stands to gain too much from the symbiosis with its captured president. Each part of the conservative infrastructure is in competition with the others to keep ratcheting up the crazy.
So here we are–stuck with a idiot wholly created and controlled by a media channel whose profit model rests on destabilizing and agitating America’s most deplorable septuagenarians. Fox News could put an end to this anytime it wanted. But it doesn’t dare to. | <urn:uuid:a3416993-d299-4fc2-b3ac-7b15af9c7990> | CC-MAIN-2018-30 | https://washingtonmonthly.com/2018/01/06/fox-news-could-end-this-presidency-tomorrow-but-it-doesnt-dare/ | 2018-07-18T03:08:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-30/segments/1531676590046.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20180718021906-20180718041906-00407.warc.gz | en | 0.959295 | 1,209 |
Tracerline Marksman Diagnostic Tool
August 2008, TruckingInfo.com - Feature
Tracer Products, Westbury, N.Y., introduced the Tracerline Marksman ultrasonic diagnostic tool, an instrument that converts and amplifies inaudible ultrasonic sound into audible "natural" sound.
The tool helps service technicians to hear sounds that signify problems such as air brake leaks, gear and bearing wear, as well as vacuum, EVAP system, exhaust, refrigerant and passenger compartment leaks. This allows technicians to repair them before they become major headaches.
The Marksman uses a two-tiered process to ensure accurate diagnosis. First, the receiver unit converts inaudible sound into audible sound using a process known as heterodyning. Then, the receiver's Sound Signal Technology fine-tunes the audible sound into the natural sound emitted by the defect itself. A 10-bar LED display indicates the intensity of incoming signals from the problem source to ensure error-free diagnosis.
The TP-9370 Marksman Master Kit comes with a receiver, full-sized headphones, two probes, and an ultrasonic emitter that allows technicians to test for faulty seals, gaskets and weather stripping in passenger compartments, trailer bodies and other unpressurized enclosures. When attached to the receiver, the 12-inch hollow probe accentuates air sounds, while the solid contact probe accentuates sounds of wear or grinding inside gears. Standard 9-volt alkaline batteries are included for both the receiver and the emitter. All components are packed in a sturdy storage case with foam insert.

This Video of Japan's Mochi Master is Mesmerizing
"To me, making mochi is like a battle," Mitsuo Nakatani, Japan's fastest mochi master explains. There's slapping, flipping, tossing, punching, and pounding. It's like the dessert Olympics. Great Big Story visited Nakatani at Nakatanido, his 23-year-old mochi pounding shop in Nara, Japan, where visitors can watch him do what he does best.
Mochi is a Japanese rice cake made from mochigome, a type of short-grain, glutinous rice. Pounded very fast for about two minutes, the result is something soft, sweet, and chewy. It can be eaten plain, filled with red bean paste, wrapped around ice cream, stuffed with a strawberry, or rolled in roasted soybean flour (and much, much more).
While there are many forms of mochi pounding, Nakatani explains, traditionally it involves one person pounding with a large wooden mallet while the other mixes by hand (Nakatani's average is 3 pounds per second). "The key to be good at mixing is about timing and trust in the guy that is pounding," he says. Shouting helps to create a rhythm with one another. And, we're assuming, from getting your hand obliterated. For an oddly satisfying food moment, watch the mesmerizing video above. Then watch it again. | <urn:uuid:6aed7bd5-0f16-4193-b542-30cb07c463d5> | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | https://stage.myrecipes.com/menus/this-video-of-japans-mochi-master-is-mesmerizing | 2020-02-17T09:16:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875141806.26/warc/CC-MAIN-20200217085334-20200217115334-00482.warc.gz | en | 0.958119 | 300 |
Question by Amanda 🙂: Does anyone know one word that would mean both a filmmaker and author?
I need to know this for my film class because I don’t think it would look appropriate if I put filmmaker/author in my thesis. Thanks for your help!
I think a good example would be businessmen, standing for salesmen and manager.

The Mission Statement of the R.A. Brown Ranch is very clear: "We are striving to improve the efficiency of converting God’s forage into healthy, nutritious, great tasting BEEF to better feed His people". This progressive ranching operation will continue to grow as it raises more cows, kids, and Quarter Horses.
It’s rich and storied past is a tribute to the many family members and employees who have ridden for the brand.
R.H. Brown brought the first registered Hereford cattle to Throckmorton County and started selling bulls. His son, R.A. Brown, grew up working at the Fort Worth Stockyards and during the summers worked at the ranch in Throckmorton.
At the age of 15, R. A. Brown enrolled in school at Woodson, TX so that he could stay and help at the ranch through the severe drought. Feed was scarce and cows were thin going into that extremely cold winter and cows began to die. R. A. helped skin cows (instead of going to school) and hauled wagon loads of hides to Abilene, some 60 miles away, trading them for cotton seed cake to feed the remaining cattle.
R. A. Brown, a student at Texas A&M, was a member of the collegiate polo team. He quit school to return to the ranch due to his father’s declining health and economic hardships.
R.H. Brown dies from a long bout with cancer. The Great Depression hits. The family advises R. A. to give up the ranch. Instead he got his mother and his sisters to deed their parts of the ranch to him so he could borrow enough money to save it. (He managed to get the debt paid off in the 1940’s and deeded their land back to them.)
R. A. Brown marries the former Valda Thomas whose parents were also ranchers, Mr. and Mrs. D.B. Thomas.
D. B. Thomas dies and R. A. Brown assumes management of the Thomas Ranch as well as the Brown Ranch raising commercial as well as registered Hereford cattle and selling Hereford bulls.
R. A. Brown Jr. (Rob) was born and grew up working on the ranch. Picture: R. A. Brown Jr. as a child.
Ranch destocks from 900 to 125 head of cattle on 18,000 acres because of severe drought.
R. A. (Rob) Brown Jr. and Peggy Donnell marry. The Donnells, a long time ranching family, settled in neighboring Young County in 1876.
After graduating from Texas Tech Rob and Peggy return to Throckmorton to work with his parents on the ranch. Their first daughter, Betsy, was born.
Rob A. Brown was born. Rob had the foresight to start a mesquite woodchip company in Throckmorton and started marketing it for cooking to give that unique mesquite flavor.
Rob & R. A. agreed to start crossbreeding the commercial Hereford cows with Brown Swiss. A week later R. A. died from a sudden heart attack. Rob closed the wood company and took over management of the ranch.
Marianne Brown was born.
Donnell Brown was born. The crossbred calves were 100 pounds heavier at weaning, but were discounted in the market place because of the brindle, gray and dun color.
Simmental took the place of Brown Swiss in the crossbreeding program which cured the color and marketing problems, while keeping the 100 pounds of additional weaning weight and also improving percentage calf crop. The herd was bred up to purebred Simmental and started selling Simmental and Simmental Hybrid bulls.
Rob serves as the 4th President of American Simmental Association.
First Bull Sale - 115 bulls averaged $578/bull. Top selling bull brought $1175.
Simbrah was added to the herd for more heat tolerance and hybrid vigor to help customers in areas needing that factor.
Betsy Brown Bellah and her husband Jody come home to the ranch to manage the accounting, the commercial cow herd and expand the wheat farming division of the family business to 5,000 acres to be used in developing the growing bulls and replacment heifers from weaning to yearling.
Red Angus was added to the program with the purchase of Roy Beeby’s entire crop of Replacement heifers. An airplane load of Senepol cattle were imported from the Virgin Islands to be used in a planned crossbreeding program to bring heat tolerance and hybrid vigor without Brahman influence. Added benefits were better dispositions, quality grade and tenderness.
The entire Greenway Angus herd (400 cows) was purchased under the advisement of Dr. Bob Long who had been consulting for them to build the Dynamo based herd. Big cows were in demand and after bringing the cows to Texas the 100 daughters of Pine Drive Big Sky were sold which almost paid for the entire herd.
The composite Hotlander™ herd was started under the advisement of Dr. Keith Gregory at the Meat Animal Research Center (MARC) & Dr. Ronnie Green at Texas Tech. Angus (red & black), Simmental, Brahman and Senepol were blended to create the ultimate hybrid for hot environments.
Rob A. Brown with his wife Talley in partnership with Rob & Jody Bellah bought an interest in a commercial feedyard where feedlot and carcass data was gathered in testing of the ranch’s top sires.
R A Brown Ranch honored as the Seedstock Producer of the Year by the Beef Improvement Federation. Donnell & Kelli Brown graduate from college and come back to the ranch to help manage the seedstock business.
Rob Brown serves as President of American Quarter Horse Association. Mariane Brown McCartney and her husband Todd return to the ranch to manage one of the seedstock cow herds.
The Ranchers Renaisance (RR) alliance was born and became one of the most successful alliances throughout the next decade. RR started with a meeting at the ranch when Rob & Donnell unveiled their vision to a group of people invited from all segments of the beef industry.
Cooperator Herd program started in order to fill the growing demand formore bulls. The Brown Gardiner Angus partnership was formed to add a franchise herd of Gardiner Angus Genetics. That same year a trade was made with Jim Leachman for our pick of 17 females from his Elite Nucleus Red Angus herd in exchange for his pick of 17 head from our Quarter Horse mares and foals.
An intensive Embryo Transfer program was started to help multiply the superior RAB genetics.
All cows on the ranch were dry-lotted and fed all winter, due to severe drought conditions.
R. A. Brown Ranch is one of nine ranches to be named NCBA Cattle Business of the Century and later that year, Rob was honored as the nation’s top rancher with the Golden Spur Award.
75% of the ranch was unusable because of drought drying up drinking water supplies.
Just before the drought breaks, R. A. Brown Ranch has a mature cow herd dispersal of their Angus and Red Angus cow herds. Embryos were implanted in commercial cows to rebuild the elite nucleus herd. The new AI and Bull Development Center was also constructed.
Browns continue their intensive embryo transfer program and start selling every 3 year old 1A Red Angus female every year.
Bull sale cancelled. Over 500 bulls were sent to slaughter. All of the registered Angus cow herd was sold to Three Trees Ranch in GA. Bred heifers, weaned heifers and embryos were kept to rebuild the Angus herd.
Rob Brown honored with the Beef Improvement Federation’s Pioneer Breeder Award. The Brown family continues to pray and persevere with steadfast commitment to their customers and to do what is rightcontinuing the legacy of the R. A. Brown Ranch.
After six years on the National Board, Kelli Brown was elected to serve as the National President for the Red Angus Association of America.
Due to severe drought conditions in the Summer of 2011, some of the registered cows were shipped to lease country in Montana. Thanks to our family friends, the Ludvigsons, for helping us find a location and labor.
In October 10 of 2012, Brown JYJ Redemption Y1334 sold for $140,000 at the 38th Annual Sale, making him the all-time high selling bull in our history.
October 9-11, 2013 — The R.A. Brown Ranch Legacy Sale, The Complete and Total Dispersal, was held at the ranch with over 1400 head of registered females offered.
December 1, 2013 — Rob & Peggy conclude a lifetime in the ranching business and effectively manage through a generational transfer to all four children. Through love and desire to see the next generation succeed, they kept the ranch in the family and the FAMILY IN THE RANCH.
October 14, 2015 — Donnell and Kelli Brown, along with their team, host the 41st Annual Bull Sale and expand their customer service by marketing over 800 commercial bred heifers, raised by their customers using R.A. Brown Ranch genetics.
R.A. Brown Ranch hosted its first annual Spring Bull Sale on Wednesday, March 9, 2016. | <urn:uuid:ad7b0e5a-053a-43ef-95c6-a072491ae01b> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://www.rabrownranch.com/history/ | 2017-10-17T03:53:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187820700.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20171017033641-20171017053641-00034.warc.gz | en | 0.970084 | 1,929 |

Dress - Flaunt.cc Popsicle Colorblock dress in Pink // Blazer – Popart Blazer (previously available at Flaunt.cc) // Colorblock Wedges – Rubi Shoes // Perspex Clutch (previously available at Flaunt.cc)
It’s finally looking like Summer! I know it’s perpetually summer in sunny Singapore, but what I mean is the burst of vibrant colors, and of course, colorblocking! (which we’re really big fans of, over here in the Flaunt office!)
Just a tip – to avoid looking like the crazy lady that everyone is avoiding on the bus – try colorblocking in colors of the same color family. Like in our dress above – we mixed pinks, coral pinks, corals – so the colors are more palatable. Color clashing works as well, but, well, thread carefully! Just a shade off and you throw the look totally off! | <urn:uuid:ba325fa2-2f74-4e5d-b318-f0c01f0d8c01> | CC-MAIN-2017-17 | http://blog.flaunt.cc/fashion/in-the-spotlight-flaunt-popsicle-colorblock-dress/ | 2017-05-01T06:08:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-17/segments/1492917127681.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20170423031207-00451-ip-10-145-167-34.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.893379 | 199 |

8 Stress Management Tips from MultiCare Physicians
Finding balance in life can be incredibly hard, and making time to prioritize one’s own health can be even harder, but it must be done or you run the risk of added and unnecessary stress, which can lead to health issues, including high blood pressure.
According to 2014 statistics from the American Psychology Institute, American Institute of Stress, 77% of people regularly experience stress related physical symptoms. Additionally, 48% of individuals say that stress negatively impacts their professional and personal life.
What is Stress? What Are Typical Symptoms of Stress?
Stress is how your body prepares to respond to certain stimuli, and is subjective in nature. Things that are stressful for you might not be a serious cause of concern for others.
There are several kinds of stress, and not all are bad. When you are under stress your body produces certain hormones and chemicals that cause your heart rate to increase. You then become more alert and equipped to face challenges, which can vary from meeting an impending deadline to saving your child from a house fire.
However, when you are constantly under a lot of stress it can seriously impact on your mental health, physical health, and behavior.
Three types of stress:
1- Acute Stress
2- Episodic Acute Stress
3- Chronic Stress
How Does Stress Affect Humans?
Impacts of stress on the body –Fatigue, headache, upset stomach, chest pain, muscle pain, sleep disorders, and decreased libido
Impacts of stress on the mood –Restlessness, depression, anxiety, inability to focus, irritation, and anger
Impacts of stress on the behavior –Tobacco use, eating more or less than usual, withdrawing socially, alcohol or drug abuse, and angry flare-ups
8 Effective Ways to Manage & Reduce Stress
- Regular Exercise– The single most effective thing that you can do to fight stress is to exercise regularly, which reduces the level of stress hormones in your body, namely cortisol, and stimulates the production and release of endorphins that helps alleviate your mood. While any activity like jogging, walking, swimming or dancing will do the trick, it is important to note that to be considered regular this exercise must be completed a minimum of 30 minutes of exercise at least five days a week.
- Eat a healthy diet – Eating a well-balanced and healthy diet of fruits, vegetables, lean protein, and whole grains will keep your energy high and stress levels low. It is also important not to skip any meals, as one skipped meal can make the difference in how your body handles stress.
- Lower your caffeine intake – High amounts of caffeine in your body can increase your anxiety and stress levels. Tea, coffee, some energy drinks, and chocolates are known to contain caffeine, but if you are eating healthy you won’t need to look to these drinks and snacks for energy.
- Set realistic goals– We all want to succeed in life, but it doesn’t happen overnight. It is all about establishing realistic goals so that you are not setting yourself up for stress and disappointment. Learning how to take things step by step will help you manage your stress and set yourself up for success.
- Spend quality time with loved ones –It has been found that the more social connections you have, the less your chances of depression and anxiety. Inevitable you will find yourself in a stressful situation, and surrounding yourself with supportive people is important, as you can’t handle everything alone.
- Pursue hobbies – Take time to do what you love. Whether it is reading, golfing, art, or knitting, try spending 15 – 20 minutes every day on that activity to relax, decompress, and alleviate stress.
- Use relaxation techniques – When you are stressed your muscles become tense, breathing can become difficult, and many people also get headaches. Relaxation techniques like deep breathing, message, stretching, meditation, yoga, and taking a hot shower or bath can alleviate those symptoms and better equip you to handle stress.
- Take life as it comes– Sometimes the only thing you can do is learn to take life one day at a time. It is easy to allow yourself to worry about what lies ahead, but relinquishing control and living in the moment can be a tremendous help. Don’t forget to laugh, too, because laughter is absolutely the best medicine.

Today is the 126th anniversary of the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral in Tombstone. However, we historians like to call it the 30-second gunfight behind the O.K. Corral, because that's where it actually happened. LOL
I got an email from a Women Writing the West member who is writing a brief story for our newsletter about my presentation during the conference in Colorado Springs last week. Pretty cool!
I never got near the pioneer women's book...soon.
Work is still busy. Tonight I am going to the Carolina Performing Arts with some guests to see the St. Petersburg Symphony (from Russia). It should be very interesting.
Tomorrow we are set to go to a wine festival in downtown Raleigh and then out to dinner with friends at the Big Easy. Sunday is a full out football day - back to back games, Steelers, then Redskins.

Yoni Mapping Therapy – The next wave of Evolution for women
Yoni mapping is one of the most profound experiences I’ve had in my mind, body and soul all at the same time.
‘Yoni Mapping Therapy’ is a revolutionary healing modality for women, a holistic approach to pelvic wellness. It is a gentle and respectful ‘guided tour’ of your most mysterious region – the incredible female pelvis.
I had no expectations when I arrived at my session with Koryn , my yoni Mapping Therapy Practitioner.
I had no sex or intimacy issues , such as not being able to orgasm , lack of sexual desire, feeling inhibited in my body or any shame around being a sensual sexual woman. I had grieved and made peace with my disempowering sexual experiences from my past.
I did however arrive at the session, feeling disconnected from my inner spirit as a sacred feminine being.
Even in my work helping women discover what holds them back from stepping into their sensual feminine power, I too am a woman living in todays society, where we are targeted and fed an idea of what being a woman is.
We then have men unconsciously playing out what they are fed and somewhere we are left feeling disconnected from our bodies and femininity.
This is the state of the collective consciousness.
If we were to sit down and write out how we feel about our bodies and our yoni’s, we would see that we are all sharing a similar story which isn’t serving us individually or collectively.
I call it the scared body.
THE SCARED BODY – Where society is lost
Her body is in need of constant improvement.
Her body is sex.
Her body is her identity.
Her body is a commodity.
Her body has a use by date.
Her body is a source of pain.
Her body is not to be trusted.
Her body is not hers.
For many years I’ve held a dream that womens sexuality and sensuality is the answer for a society that has lost its way in how we relate to each other as human beings.
The dream is now a reality, as I see each woman ( of whom some are my clients) wake up from the collective consciousness of the scared body.
Through deprogramming of the mind and yoni mapping, she steps into the sacred body.
THE SACRED BODY- Finding our way back through the yoni
Her body is her temple.
Her body holds wisdom.
Her body is her loving companion in this life.
Her body is a portal to the divine.
Her body is creative .
Her body is hers to express her sensitivity, sensuality and sexuality on her terms.
Her body holds pleasure and pain, just like life itself.
Her yoni is a gateway to healing the scared body to the sacred body.
As each woman wakes up from the collective consciousness of the scared body and steps into the sacred body, she changes her perception of herself.
She awakens to a renewed sense of who she is, not what the mind has being telling her.
The physical aspect of mapping the yoni brings to life through the release of emotions , a deep knowing of inner wisdom and self love, that we each hold from our experience of being a woman.
It’s in these emotions that we enter what I like to call the yoniverse.
After Koryn took me on a journey to the Yoniverse, I found myself in a conscious dream like state, where my vitality, senses and passion reunited.
As others have asked me of my experience with much curiosity, I find words fail to explain how profound it was. Yet I’m left with these two sentences.
Dare to go where others have not been
It’s there you will discover your dream.

Fuel pump pulley adjustment
When replacing timing belt, how do you know where to set the fuel pump pulley back exactly as it has a little bit of slack about 20 degree or so even with the pin inserted? I am talking about the pulley itself when it is loosened from the fuel pump spindle.
I know you are supposed mark its position using some sort of marker prior to disassembly but I am assuming it is likely off.

Fare thee well, Gustavo Ayon.
The seldom-used Ayon became the newest former Buck on Thursday after Milwaukee requested waivers on the 28-year-old Mexican big man, clearing his $1.5 million salary from the Bucks' books. Ayon was hardly dead weight at that price and shouldn't have a hard time latching on somewhere in the NBA even if he clears waivers, but the Bucks never showed much interest in making use of him after he arrived as part of the illl-fated J.J. Redick/Tobias Harris trade last February. The Bucks' glut of big men certainly had something to do with it, but you never got the impression that the Bucks liked Ayon quite as much as basketball geeks (this one included) did.
Ayon's departure leaves the Bucks with five big men (Larry Sanders, Ersan Ilyasova, John Henson, Ekpe Udoh, and Zaza Pachulia) and nine total players under contract (totaling $39 million). However, that figure doesn't include unsigned rookies Giannis Antetokounmpo (who has a $1.5 million cap hold until he signs) and Nate Wolters or restricted free agent Brandon Jennings ($7.9 million hold). Assuming the Bucks renounce Marquis Daniels ($884k cap hold, which according to Sham Sports is still on the books), the Bucks would have one additional $490k cap hold because they're one short of the minimum 12 roster spots. That would leave them with $9.7 million in cap space:
How the Bucks will (or won't) use that cap space remains rather unclear. Beyond re-signing Jennings or otherwise acquiring a starting PG, the Bucks have three additional roster spots they could fill, with depth at the swingman spots the most obvious position of need. But aside from Bobcats restricted free agent Gerald Henderson (meh), there's not much of note left via free agency, which leaves a trade (where the Bucks would be able to absorb close to $10 million in salary) as the more practical route for making a major splash. Danny Granger? Luol Deng? Rudy Gay? I hesitate to even mention specific names, but speculate away. Or, perhaps more reasonably (and possibly for the best), there may be no big splash whatsoever.
The ironic part is that the Bucks would now seem in need of at least one big body for depth purposes as well--you know, someone decent and cheap like Ayon. Though the Bucks were overloaded at the big spots last year, they've now gotten rid of four bigs from last year's roster (Ayon, Drew Gooden, Joel Przybilla, Sam Dalembert) while adding just one (Zaza Pachulia). I'll hold off final judgment until the Bucks have sorted out how exactly they're going to finish out their roster, but today's move certainly doesn't bring us any closer to that. | <urn:uuid:29e99b35-c662-4df8-9851-984b6ea02095> | CC-MAIN-2013-48 | http://www.brewhoop.com/2013/7/25/4558328/gustavo-ayon-waived-bucks-potential-cap-space-up-to-10-million | 2013-12-11T11:57:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-48/segments/1386164035500/warc/CC-MAIN-20131204133355-00008-ip-10-33-133-15.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.97292 | 610 |
Time and again, even amid their apostasy and wilderness wanderings, God miraculously provided for the children of Israel. That is, however undeserving they were (and often remained that way) God′s grace flowed out to them. We, too, today, are recipients of His grace, however much we are undeserving of it, as well. After all, it wouldn´t be grace if we deserved it, would it?
And, besides the abundance of food that the Lord had miraculously provided for them in the wilderness, another manifestation of His grace was the water, without which they would quickly perish, especially in a dry, hot, and desolate desert. Talking about that experience, Paul wrote: “And all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ”
(1 Cor. 10:4
, NKJV). Ellen G. White also added that “Wherever in their journeyings they wanted water, there from the clefts of the rock it gushed out beside their encampment.”
— Patriarchs and Prophets, p. 411.
Read Numbers 20:1-13
. What happened here, and how do we understand the Lord´s punishment for Moses because of what he had done?
On one level, it´s not hard to see and understand Moses´ frustration. After all that the Lord had done for them, the signs and wonders and miraculous deliverance, here they were, finally, on the borders of the Promised Land. And then — what? Suddenly, they are short on water, and so they begin to conspire against Moses and Aaron. Was it that the Lord could not provide water for them now, as He had done for them so often before? Of course not; He could have, and was going to do so again.
However, look at Moses´ words as he struck the rock, even twice. “Hear now, you rebels! Must we bring water for you out of this rock?”
, NKJV). One can all but hear the anger in his voice, for he begins by calling them “rebels.”
The problem wasn´t so much his anger itself, which was bad enough but understandable — but when He said “Must we bring water for you out of this rock?”
as if he or any human being could bring water out of a rock. In his anger, he seemed to forget at the moment that it was only the power of God, working among them, that could do such a miracle. He, of all people, should have known that. | <urn:uuid:7d1f8dba-d424-4b1b-b4fb-8277bc797ab0> | CC-MAIN-2022-21 | https://www.3ams.com/Bible/SabbathLesson3/1/236 | 2022-05-21T12:06:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-21/segments/1652662539101.40/warc/CC-MAIN-20220521112022-20220521142022-00152.warc.gz | en | 0.985812 | 556 |
It’s the season of the guy romper, and it’s anyone’s guess whether this men’s fashion moment will blow up or quickly blow over like an L.A. summer storm. The latest fuss about these all-in-one garments started earlier this month when a small team of entrepreneurs launched the RompHim, a male equivalent of the familiar women’s romper, on the crowdfunding website Kickstarter.
The RompHim set the Internet ablaze, causing people to debate and joke on social media, at work and elsewhere about the merits (and design faults) of rompers in general. And what started out as a desire for $10,000 in funding for the cheeky RompHim one-piece — it comes in polka-dot patterns and pastel hues — has now brought in more than $350,000 in seed money, with more expected.
“We were looking for something different that didn’t already exist for guys,” Elaine Chen, one of RompHim’s founders, told GQ magazine this month. “We think this is a way for guys to have a new option in their wardrobe.”
Sorry, RompHim. The one-piece for men is hardly new. It’s a garment with plenty of history, including its 1964 onscreen appearance in “Goldfinger,” worn by the always stylish James Bond, as well as a splashy return a few seasons ago thanks to the Mr Turk label.
Mark-Evan Blackman, an assistant professor of menswear design at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, sees clear antecedents of the summer ’17 romper for men, mentioning the flight suits used in the Air Force starting in 1947 and coveralls worn by blue-collar workers, including painters, railroad employees and other working-class men, earlier in the 20th century.
I think it’s outrageous. Who wants to see a grown man dressed like a toddler?
— Mark-Evan Blackman, assistant professor of menswear design at the Fashion Institute of Technology
When asked about the RompHim, however, Blackman had an immediate, visceral response: “I think it’s outrageous. Who wants to see a grown man dressed like a toddler?”
Based on the recent buzz, there appears to be a growing audience as well as fashion interest for the all-in-one look. On the runway, jumpsuits were shown in spring/summer 2017 collections from luxury labels such as Louis Vuitton and Valentino. And some designers have been proposing “sets” — shorts and shirts in matching patterns, which offer the appearance of the RompHim but the ease of wearing separates.
Although Blackman doubts that rompers for men will take off as a full-fledged trend, certain cultural touchstones make clear why it was so hungrily embraced this spring by the media as well as shoppers. These include the current predilection for wearing garments in an ironic way as well as an acceptance of unisex clothing, especially among millennials.
So if you want to strut your stuff in a romper or jumpsuit, here are a few of our top choices. Several fashion brands have you covered (but appear to be quickly selling out of these onesie options) should you feel the romper itch this season.
Asos slim short jumpsuit
Asos offers a onesie that gives you a bang for your buck, including fashiony flourishes like a band collar and waist tie, but in a relaxed, dark silhouette that’s welcoming for most adventurous guys. $64, us.asos.com
In response to the RompHim, Reebok is planning to release its own version of the garment. It’s called the ReeRomp, a sporty take in white. $89, www.reebok.com
Rick Owens cropped sleeveless jumpsuit
Few would accuse those who wear L.A.-to-Paris designer Rick Owens of being timid with their fashion choices, and this voluminous, apron-like jumpsuit makes that case. For guys who aren’t afraid to turn some heads — and spend some money to do so — here’s your best bet. $1,178, www.farfetch.com
Mr Turk Keller short jumpsuit
With its chest-patch pockets, beige hue and light herringbone pattern, this short jumpsuit has some serious ’70s vibes but with a fun, modern feel. This one might be perfect for wearing to a pool party in Palm Springs. $348, www.mrturk.com
Song for the Mute gabardine jumpsuit
For guys who aren’t willing to really commit to the short jumpsuit/romper, here’s one that splits the difference with a longer, below-the-knee hem. Short sleeves, collar and waist tie make it look easy yet not too eccentric. $819.06, songforthemute.com
Topman black denim short overalls
Although not technically a romper, coverall shorts are the romper’s sartorial antecedent, and one that’s much more palatable for guys who are more risk-averse. Plus, this one is pretty much ready-made for the music festival season. $89, us.topman.com
KTZ fringe detail jumpsuit
If you like your jumpsuits with a bit of an Air-Force-meets-apocalypse vibe, you’re in luck. This one from the outré British label KTZ has plenty of pulls and pockets. And by wearing this jumpsuit, you might end up feeling ready for the end of the world (in style, of course). $1,100, www.farfetch.com
This decidedly guy-friendly one-piece, in light gray, is tricked out with all the utilitarian details you’d want: side, chest and back pockets; a classic collar; and a button front that will make this an attractive summer option if you feel daring enough. $410, www.yoox.com
Grei twill boiler suit
Inspired by 1940s coveralls, this update to the classic flight jumpsuit is made from breathable cotton but made in a dark, versatile color. It has adjustable waist tabs to help make sure it fits just the way you want, whether that be slightly oversize or nice and trim. This one is perfect for a day at the beach. $475, www.greinewyork.com
Thom Browne daisy floral intarsia singlet
Thom Browne takes the male romper and gives it a high-school-gym makeover with this quirky version that would look great during a wrestling match — or maybe at a rooftop barbecue (if you’re bold enough). $3,200, www.fwrd.com
Sheehan & Co. summer jumpsuit
With a tie-front waist, button front and long sleeves, this romper has a relaxed, lived-in design that makes it ideal for beach trips or weekends errands. The dark olive green is a solid reference to the garment’s utilitarian history too. $285, sheehanandcompany.com
Zara denim jumpsuit

Sample cover letter for Full Time position at Willis
Dear Madam, dear Sirs,
I am writing with interest in the ‘Broker Support/Junior Reinsurance Broker – Munich Based’ which is listed on your company website. I am a master graduate in international management with extensive finance and business administration experience, and I would like to take this time to introduce myself and detail my qualifications for this position.
Since mid-2013, I have been employed as an accounting assistant in a Munich-based, international company. In addition to holding this position, I simultaneously completed my full-time master’s degree in International Management at the International Management School in Munich, with specialization in International Strategy & Business development. My university degrees and work experience have enabled me to gain sufficient theoretical knowledge and practical experience about finance and business administration, which would help me to quickly acquire knowledge of the reinsurance business.
My current job duties include the daily posts of business transactions into the accounting system, reconciliation of accounts payables including those of three subsidiaries, as well as duties for the accounts receivables management. Furthermore, I have received training in order to perform the month’s end balancing and closing, independently, for the principal company as well as three subsidiaries. The key aspects of this month’s end balancing involve the reporting of operating figures including KPI’s to the parent company. Furthermore, I am involved in the forecasting and budgeting processes for the principal company. Other regular duties include monthly analytical data reviews of lease contracts and intercompany reconciliations for the company’s finance department based in Ireland.
I hold a dual degree in International Business, a Masters degree in International Management and have gained extensive international work experience in Finance and Business Administration during my time as Finance Assistant in London and in Bogotá, Colombia, where I worked for over three years. My command over English, Spanish and German (my mother tongue) allow me to effectively communicate with culturally-diverse colleagues and clients with ease. Moreover, I have an analytical mind with incredible focus on detail such as revenue targets and budgets. I am also very flexible, am able to work under considerable pressure, thrive in diverse teams as well as autonomously, and have a strong willingness to learn and further develop my career path within the Willis Group.
Based on my experience, educational background and skillset, I can assure you that I would be dedicated to my contribution to your team and company’s success. I am looking forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience to arrange a personal interview. Many thanks for your time and consideration.

Like many first-generation students, Alison (Tattersall) Hawkins ’87 was unsure of herself, and struggled during her first year at Oxy.
The daughter of working-class British immigrants who came to America after World War II—her father left school at 14 to become an apprentice carpenter, eventually becoming a civil engineer—Hawkins had little idea of what to expect at college.
“Oxy was so formative for me. The accessibility and proactivity of the faculty and advisors was truly remarkable. They listened and tried to help. They really cared about my development, academically and as a person,” says the Occidental trustee and managing principal of Artemis Real Estate Partners, the pioneering majority women-owned commercial real estate investment management firm. “I was painfully shy as a freshman, but even I couldn’t hide at Oxy–they care about every student. For me, my Oxy education–my Oxy experience–made all the difference.”
Thinking it would impress her father, who didn’t believe girls should go to college, Hawkins began her freshman year by focusing on chemistry and math, until her advisor took her aside and reminded her that Oxy is a liberal arts institution–and recommended that she try other subjects. The Orange County native ended up a double major in English and psychology. “It was so important to get that guidance early on–it was almost an academic intervention—and to have my advisor actively foster my success.”
A memorable class, Introduction to American Legal Systems, participation on the debate team and a meeting set up by a friend set her on the road to law school. “My friend had attorneys in the family, and he said, ‘You remind me of them—you like to read, write and argue. Why don’t you talk to my cousin who’s a lawyer?’” Hawkins recalls. “I didn’t realize it at the time, but it was truly my 'aha' moment.”
After graduation, Hawkins flourished at American University Washington College of Law. “I did well in law school,” she says. “It’s about reading, analyzing, and writing, and with my Oxy education I was well-prepared.” She spent nine years litigating securities fraud cases, ultimately making partner before deciding she was ready for a change. She earned her MBA at the Wharton School and went into commercial real estate, a field in which she had long held an interest.
Once again, her Oxy skills stood her in good stead. “I started out in brokerage, where clients are focused on cash flows and valuation, but you also create these attractive books–called offering memoranda–about the buildings you’re selling,” she says. “As a new associate, my way of joining the team was to help with the writing, even if I wasn’t actually assigned to a deal.”
In 2010, Hawkins was recruited by Artemis, then less than a year old, to run its capital raising operation. Apart from a two-year hiatus at another firm, she has been there ever since, playing a major role in raising the more than $4.7 billion in institutional capital the firm has attracted. In addition to being woman-owned, Artemis is a diverse firm: nearly 50% of the team are minorities and/or women. Several years ago, the firm created its Summer Enrichment Program, which provides a summer internship experience for rising college sophomores. “The goal of the program is to introduce young people to commercial real estate as a career who otherwise wouldn’t think of it, in a small, diverse group,” she says. “Of course, there are some Oxy students in the mix.”
Hawkins’ concern for Oxy students goes beyond increasing their access to internships. She recently made a multi-year pledge to the Oxy Fund and a major, unrestricted estate gift to the College. “Oxy is an incredible place that had a transformative impact on me,” she says. “I feel very lucky. It is essential that Oxy continue to benefit students for generations to come." | <urn:uuid:47d5bf2b-45d0-44fe-aeb4-bfc9d2776192> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://campaign.oxy.edu/stories/alison-tattersall-hawkins-87 | 2024-02-24T08:41:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474526.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20240224080616-20240224110616-00676.warc.gz | en | 0.98145 | 874 |
Chord Crash Course Book 2: A Teach Yourself Piano Book for Older Beginners and Adults
Adults and older beginners can now play piano without the struggle (and without reading music) using the power of chords! Do you want to accompany yourself as a singer, songwriter or performer? Have you always wanted to play an instrument but don’t know where to start? Do you know the basics but want to sound better and learn more complex chords? Are you a music instructor who is looking for a way to liven up lessons or teach popular music? The Chord Crash Course Series will have you playing great sounding music in no time with its simple and fun pattern-based approach.
Meridee Winters Chord Crash Course Book 2 is a followup to Meridee’s popular Chord Crash Course Book 1, which taught key skills like chords, chord progressions, major/minor, lead sheet reading and much more. Chord Crash Course Book 2 goes a step beyond, introducing higher level chord theory like inversions, seventh chords, sus chords, new rhythm patterns and more – all with the same clear and entertaining approach that made the first book a cult favorite.
A professional educator and musician, Meridee Winters originally created “Chord Crash Course” while working in a recording studio. She found that many vocalists could not play piano or guitar, and thus could not fully complete a song on their own. As a solution, she developed a “chord crash course” that easily taught them the skills they needed, helping hundreds of musicians become better writers and performers along the way. Her teaching method has now reached thousands of students.
In this book you’ll learn:
Inversions - How to reorder chords for smoother playing
“Next level” altered chords like Seventh Chords, Sus chords and more
Various accompaniment styles found in hundreds of hit songs
Popular chord progressions that will allow you to play your favorite songs - from pop to classical to blues!
How to play from a lead sheet
And much more!
The Chord Crash Course Series is a great standalone introduction to playing piano or supplement to any music method. Chord Crash Course is a part of the innovative Meridee Winters Music Method.

It must be around twenty years plus since I first heard the term Generation X. The time period is now clearly defined but it was not originally. I thought I was perhaps borderline Gen X, on the cusp so to speak, tenuously, pretty close, near enough.
I told R I was Gen X and he believed me and has for many many years.
But the internet is not always your friend. Today R looked up the year I was born and discovered that I am a baby boomer and not even close to being Gen X.
The shame I feel is beyond comprehension.

Twelve high school learners from the Phalaborwa region have developed an extra dose of enthusiasm for entering a career in the sciences after attending the first winter camp organised by the Ndlovu Node of the South African Environmental Observation Network (Saeon) that took place at the end of June.
At the camp, which is intended to become an annual event, the learners spent a week being exposed to informative presentations on science and monitoring at the Southern African Wildlife College near the Orpen Gate to the Kruger National Park.
The winter camp included some hands-on experiences, especially when the learners visited the Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre where they saw a cheetah being darted and were able to handle the sleeping animal. Another practical experience was an attempt to use some game counting techniques.
The learners were taught about savanna ecology, environmental monitoring, managing rare species such as the wild dog, and other conservation related issues. The winter camp is part of Saeon's environmental outreach programme, and is designed to create an interest in environmental sciences in learners in the area.
The camp is obviously achieving some of its goals, as the learners who attended the winter camp now wish to start an eco-club with the help of Saeon. The learners commented, "What we have learned at the camp is beyond words and explanations.
We have been given a whole new perspective towards nature conservation." They will be able to show what they learnt at the camp during a celebration of women in science to be held on August 11 in the Lulekani Town Hall. | <urn:uuid:e9900a17-d66a-42d8-ad48-be63bf0df2bc> | CC-MAIN-2015-22 | http://www.krugerpark.co.za/krugerpark-times-3-8-winter-camp-22764.html | 2015-05-27T12:14:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-22/segments/1432207928965.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20150521113208-00154-ip-10-180-206-219.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.966601 | 323 |

One of the major topics in early science classes is energy. In this lesson students learn about endothermic and exothermic reactions and are often asked to demonstrate what these terms mean through an experiment. Endothermic means an experiment requires energy to proceed, but students need to demonstrate this principle safely.
Using Citric Acid and Baking Soda
Fill a Styrofoam cup about one-fourth full of citric acid and find the temperature of this initial solution with a thermometer. Stir in a small amount of baking soda and watch as the temperature of the thermometer changes. Add in more baking soda slowly to watch the temperature continue to change. The temperature should become lower and return to room temperature once the reaction is complete.
Hold a piece of ice in your hand and observe how it melts while still feeling cold. Place a new piece of ice in a freezer for an hour and check on it. The ice in your hand melts because your hands are warm and provide thermal energy, but the ice in the freezer does not melt because it is too cold to provide enough thermal energy.
Sciencing Video Vault
Prepare a cake, bread, brownie or muffin recipe as you would normally. Watch as the dough rises once it is in the oven. This is an endothermic process because the food absorbs heat in order to finish its "reaction" -- or baking.
Feel the Cold with Epsom Salt
Fill a cup with lukewarm water and insert a thermometer. Note the temperature. Stir in a tablespoon of Epsom salt and take the temperature again. Watch as the temperature continues to change for a few minutes. Feel the cup as well to see how cold it gets. This is endothermic because the water's heat energy is used to split apart ions in the Epsom salt. | <urn:uuid:a01c897b-607f-418a-908f-a2f88fd55e0c> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | https://sciencing.com/endothermic-science-projects-8314910.html | 2019-05-19T13:36:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232254882.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20190519121502-20190519143502-00403.warc.gz | en | 0.935433 | 370 |

|Rice cookers have become a very essential gadget in many homes as one can cook rice, dal and vegetables all together at one shot just like conventional cookers. The only difference is that these electric rice cookers need not be watched to switch off. |
There are so many brands of rice cookers. Black Decker, Bajaj, Kenstar, Philips, National Panasonic all have their own rice cooker models. National Panasonic rice cookers are the pioneers in the Rice Cooker market. They have different rice cooker to suit the size of the family and your budget too.
Now a days, there is a model available in National panasonic where the rice cooking vessel is anodised which is non stick and is also easy to clean. It is better to go for that particular model than the regular aluminium ones.
The very latest model of rice cookers comes with timer settings for different kinds of dishes.

my suggestion is to take the best electric rice cooker is panasonic brand.
in this you will get best quality of cooked rice,and less amount of electric consumption is made.
it is around Rs2000/-only.
it switches off automatically after getting rice cooked, and keeps in the warm for several hours. | <urn:uuid:028cc71b-65ac-4df5-bb44-e5724c49b501> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.indiastudychannel.com/experts/4068-Which-best-electric-rice-cooker.aspx | 2013-05-23T18:04:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368703662159/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516112742-00020-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.926156 | 544 |

It was a real pleasure for me to work together with Cease Fire Productions! Great tracks in a short time, very creative, extremely friendly, absolutely pro! Looking forward to work together again!
He's an amazing guitarist. Loved his work a lot. Would totally recommend him.
I had a great experience working with Cease Fire. The rapper did a good job in getting the rap spot on and what I like the most was the great and constant communication that was given.
Another amazing track from Cease Fire!
Solid guy with a sound understanding for your vision! Definitely the first of many to come.
I had a vision and Cease Fire Productions made it a reality. Now my reality will elevate to new heights. Braden is very professional, quality of work is amazing, handles assignments fast, and is a great communicator/problem solver. Overall grade, A+++

This guy right here gets it. But none of this means anything without communication and his consultation game is on point.

- All MemCard PROs are now in stock and ready to ship!
The wait is over! No more piles of tiny memory cards for the PlayStation 1 with a mere 15 blocks on each card.
Did you know that there are games that use a whole standard Memory Card for just 1 save?
The MemCard PRO was designed and assembled by 8BitMods, and it's a brand new offering for the PlayStation 1 that solves the problem of storing your game's saves forever.
Using the latest components and powered with FPGA technology, the MemCard PRO offers an almost infinite amount of blocks for your PlayStation 1, from a single slot! An ESP32 module provides an incredible amount of power, with a dual-core processor running at 240MHz.
MemCard PRO can store "virtual memory cards" on a standard microSD card of any size. Everything from 1GB to 1TB works!
Each gigabyte of storage on your microSD card equals to a whopping 8192 memory cards! Yes you've read that right! A 1GB microSD can store 122,880 blocks of PlayStation 1 game saves!
But it doesn't stop there! This little device is packed with features!
A Memory Card with WiFi!?
MemCard PRO can also connect to your WiFi network, to provide extra cool features! At this moment you can browse and control the Memory Cards on your microSD card, through an intuitive Web User Interface. It can also update its firmware over the internet, or through the microSD card slot.
Did we mention there is a super-bright OLED display on MemCard PRO? The display can show you the mounted memory card, along with more information like read and write access indicators. It can also show the card's name, which you can set through the WebUI.
Last but not Least...
If you have a modern PlayStation 1 Optical Disc Emulator or a method to boot to Unirom, it's about to get even more exciting.
MemCard PRO can seamlessly communicate with an ODE or Unirom and automatically mount the memory card specifically for that game! If it's the first time you're running the game, it will automatically create 8 virtual memory cards for that specific game, and even show the game's name on the display!
We really plan to add more features to MemCard PRO, and everything will be addeed for free, through future firmware updates.

|Weather conditions:||Mostly sunny with some cloud|
|New snowfall:||0cm (upper); 0cm (lower) [Goryu official]|
|Snow depth:||Hakuba Goryu Top : 285cm [official]|
|The rain turned to snow around 4:00 PM yesterday and accumulated slowly. By around 10:30 PM it had tapered off and observed snow in the village was around 5 cms. Surprisingly good snow fell in the evening though – light and dry. The amount observed matches around what Goryu are reporting as well – 5 cms on lower slopes and 15 cms up top. A lot of people out there so the fresh snow will get smashed pretty quick, hope you make/made the most of it.Good weather and visibility today – sunshine with some clouds, can’t see the mountains all the way past Nagano City due to clouds but views of the Alps are great. Temperatures are colder than they’ve been over the last few days with overnight lows of -10 at 1400m and -6 at 760m, currently 2 degrees in the valley and -6.6 at 1400m though it looks like its gonna get hotter in the sun with a fair bit of dripping going on.
Up at 2080m we saw some strong winds this morning up to 21m/s from the NW, currently 9m/s, but no wind on the resort at 1400m and only 1m/s from the NE at the Ski Jumps.
The upcoming weather forecast is for warm weather and a fair bit of rain over Monday/Tuesday with temperatures starting to drop from Tue/Wed and a lot of snow to follow…and we’ll be here waiting for it! | <urn:uuid:f736f43f-9992-43fc-9304-8818aea1ac87> | CC-MAIN-2022-49 | https://www.evergreen-hakuba.com/26th-dec-2011/ | 2022-12-03T09:02:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-49/segments/1669446710926.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20221203075717-20221203105717-00332.warc.gz | en | 0.953488 | 365 |
GasBuddy.com Wednesday showed a majority of gas stations had raised their prices by at least 3 cents in the past 5 days. The Shell station in James City in Craven County had regular unleaded for $3.49 per gallon Friday. Five days later the price was $3.56.
We spoke to a driver who says she's cut out a lot to make sure she has enough for fuel and her family needs. To top it off, the vehicle she drives requires premium gas which is $3.91 a gallon.
"I can go pretty far on E sometimes. I'll be pushing it a little bit, and I have to put three dollars here, five dollars here, sometimes and it only gets you a gallon," said Michelle Windley.
The average price of gasoline in New Bern is $3.55 a gallon for regular.

What a beautiful, crisp, fluffy snow we’ve gotten! Here in Olga we didn’t get enough ice to bother us much, which is a wonderful blessing. Watching the snow fall here in the woods was quite a sight to behold though. With all of the impending winter storm warnings we received, we had plenty of time to replenish the wood pile, add some much needed insulation to the chicken coop, bed the bunnies down with extra hay, and fill the bird feeders all the way to the top. The only thing left to do was to snuggle in and watch the beauty of the snowfall. Even though the weather causes a bit of extra work with frozen water and difficulty getting around, we love how it seems to slow down time a bit too. Life seems to move at a slower pace and that is a true blessing. Did you know that scripture refers to this weather as a “treasury of snow”? Job 38:22-30 is an extremely interesting section to read regarding not only the importance of snow, but how treasured it is. I know farmer’s treasure the snow very much. Up north, where it gets extremely cold, the snow is greatly treasured to safeguard not only the plants, but it also safeguards against frozen pipes and septic systems. One year, there wasn’t a significant snowfall before the below zero temps came and everyone was scrambling to protect their underground assets with tons of straw. Growing up here in the Ozarks, those steps of precaution were new to me since we never seem to need to do that here. Of course, the winters up north introduced me to a lot of new things that I won’t bore you with, but needless to say, winters here in the Ozarks are a breeze in comparison.
It is hard to believe that we are well into the month of December already. It is time for all that scrumptious baking that we don’t do the rest of the year, including those extra sweet goodies that we guard against except for during Christmas time. One of our favorite treats (and extremely easy, so easy you won’t believe it) that we like to make is Christmas Bark. It can be made as Peppermint, Chocolate, Toffee, Cherry, or whatever type of baking chips you prefer. It’s best to use a cookie sheet with shallow sides and then line the bottom of it with saltine crackers. In a saucepan, combine 1 cup butter and 1 cup dark brown sugar. Bring it to a boil and boil for 3 minutes. Immediately pour it over your crackers and spread it to cover your crackers. Have your oven ready at 400° and bake for 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from your oven and sprinkle 2 cups of chocolate chips (or whatever flavored chips you like) over the top. Let it set for about 5 minutes for the chips to get soft, then spread them evenly. Top with pecans or Christmas colored M&M’s or fun sprinkles or use several toppings. Let it cool completely and then break apart. This is a really fun kitchen project for even the young children. We sometimes like to use a combination of chips to swirl them together too. The ones made with the toffee chips are extremely delicious with the butter and brown sugar combination. Also, a batch of these makes great Christmas gifts!
Now my mouth is watering. We are heading out today to do some Christmas baking shopping and you better believe those ingredients are on my list! Maybe I can get home in time to make some today. I hope you are enjoying some time in the kitchen with your children and/or grandchildren this season. Those memories for them and us are priceless!
Have a blessed week and especially remember to not burden yourself with a flurry of activity that causes you to lose sight as to what Christmas is truly about. It can be so easy to do. Being peaceful and content can also be a great gift to others because it can be contagious and what a great feeling to spread! | <urn:uuid:8910172b-7c54-4902-8824-80494d3a740c> | CC-MAIN-2016-36 | http://www.douglascountyherald.com/2013/12/olga-34/ | 2016-08-25T16:42:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-36/segments/1471982293692.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20160823195813-00290-ip-10-153-172-175.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.958809 | 832 |
HearSA: Graham Weston Talks With Netflix's Reed Hastings
Blockbuster would have crushed Netflix. That's what Netflix founder Reed Hastings now thinks about the bankrupted corner brick and mortar store, had Blockbuster continued to roll out its version of a streaming service. But Blockbuster ran out of money, he said, and its parent-company Viacom gave up.
"[The] greatest day of my life was the day Blockbuster declared bankruptcy," Hastings admitted to interviewer Graham Weston, founder and former CEO of Rackspace.
That was one of several anecodtes Hastings shared at Kipp Public Schools Texas and Tech Bloc event on May 3. The event also marked the fourth anniversary of the technology industry advocacy organization.
Despite Netflix becoming the media behemoth it is today -- it did about $15 billion in revenue last year -- not all of Hastings' ideas have been hits. Just ask him about the "foot mouse" he wanted to create. It's exactly what it sounds like -- a computer mouse that you control with your feet (the floor is too dirty, and people's legs cramp up). Or the time he tried to spin off the physical DVD portion of Netflix as a different service.
But even when reflecting on success, he advised the audience to remember that they are always building on what is already there.
"You just want to be super observant, watching. 'How are things happening? What's happening here? Why is this changing to that?' Try to understand for yourself what is it that drives that progress."
The forty-minute conversation ranged from work culture to education. You can hear it in the audio player above. | <urn:uuid:17f1c1db-8669-4c9c-bd94-1d7a79368965> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://www.tpr.org/community/2019-05-06/hearsa-graham-weston-talks-with-netflixs-reed-hastings | 2021-02-28T07:25:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178360293.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20210228054509-20210228084509-00402.warc.gz | en | 0.970873 | 338 |
Since his introduction in 1902, the popularity of Peter Rabbit has never waned. Although he appeared in just six books by Beatrix Potter (the last published nearly a hundred years ago), this is one character that has endured the test of time. Indeed, he continues to be more popular today than ever! In 1904, Steiff produced an exquisite version of Peter Rabbit made in luxurious cotton velvet and stuffed with kapok and wood shavings. In 2010, we are bringing this piece back to life with a breathtaking
replica that is nothing less than a work of art. With his sparkling glass eyes, embroidered felt jacket, and specially made slippers (stamped with a vintage Steiff logo on bottom), this is the ultimate Peter Rabbit.

Malcesine, 28 June 2019 – Malcesine gives us another great sailing day and crowns Claudia Rossi, helm of Petite Terrible, the new J/70 European Champion. Claudia Rossi, in a third continental triumph, with a 4-6-2 series, dominated the final day of the championship, comfortably at ease in windy conditions, with the Sud-Est blowing roughly 15 knots. The title remains in the family, with his daughter who had already won titles in 2016 and 2017, taking the baton from father Alberto Rossi, winner in Vigo in 2018 with his Enfant Terrible.
The crew of Petite Terrible: Claudia Rossi, Michele Paoletti, Matteo Mason, Giulio Desiderato, Rossella Losito.
Quote by Claudia Rossi, Helm of Petite Terrible
“I am so excited and overjoyed about how the regattas went during this championship. We were very consistent and this paid off in the end. Today we finally demonstrated how to navigate with the heart without making too many calculations and for this I want to thank all of my crew because we gave our best and kept on believing until the end. We got our victory and I could not wish for anything more!”
In the Corinthian division the Spanish crew of Abril Verde with skipper Luis Perez Canal finished first, followed by the Maltese crew of Calypso and the Swedish crew of Hilda. Closing out the top five are Douglas Struth and the Brits of DSP and the Italian crew of White Hawk, with Gianfranco Noè at the helm.
The crew of Abril Verde: Luiz Perez Canal, Carlos Sanmartin, Eduardo Reguera, Juan de Cominges Carballo, Luis Darocha.
Quote from Luis Perez Canal, Skipper of Abril Verde
“Thank you to the Race Committee and to all those who made this beautiful Championship possible. Our chemistry with this race field was excellent and this allowed us to race at our maximum, and remain in the top 15 of the fleet. In the end we won the Corinthian title, a success that we pursued since day one and that fills us with joy. We can’t wait to get back here to race again.”

My research is mainly focused on mathematical modeling of biological systems with a focus on regulatory biochemical networks. Although many intracellular regulatory networks have been extensively studied using advanced experimental techniques, it has turned out to be quite difficult to make predictions about how individual components are assembled and dynamically regulated, and how the behavior of metabolism as a whole are related with the properties of the individual parts. Mathematical modeling and computer simulations are widely accepted as promising tools to investigate and address such questions. I am interested in development of quantitative mathematical models that are directly comparable with experimental data to address such questions. Below you'll find my recent research highlights, you need to go to "Research" link to see the details of each section.
(A) Signal transduction in the mating response pathway of yeast S. cerevisiae Signal transduction pathways enable cells to receive, process and respond to biochemical stimuli. These pathways are generally highly nonlinear and often contain multiple feedback and feedforward loops and share common functional components. The questions I seek to address with mathematical models and computer simulations are: (1) What are the functions of feedback and feedforward loops, (2) How signal intensity is controlled in the pathway, (3) How pathway specificity is achieved. I have been collaborating with Profs. Timothy Elston and Henrik Dohlman at UNC on this project.
(B) Exploring transcriptional/translational time delays on dynamics of lactose operon in E.coli The lac operon is a classic example of an inducible genetic network in E.coli. It consists of a small promoter region and three larger structural genes. It is known that this system is capable of showing bistable behaviour. I am interested in how bistability arises in this system and how time delays due to the transcriptional and translation process the dynamics of this system. On this project, I have been collaborating with Prof. Michael C. Mackey from McGill University.
(C) Computer algebra approach to bistability in biological/ and chemical systems Although the capacity to achieve more than one internal steady state for a set of parameters is common in biological/chemical systems, experimentalist often believes the systems under investigation always have single stable steady state. Among the various patterns of behavior emerging from regulation associated with nonlinear kinetics, bistability is extremely interesting. | <urn:uuid:b41d14f7-8716-44f1-910f-10dc81d56754> | CC-MAIN-2016-30 | https://myncf.ncf.edu/web/nyildirim/welcome | 2016-07-30T01:59:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-30/segments/1469257832475.43/warc/CC-MAIN-20160723071032-00161-ip-10-185-27-174.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.939559 | 474 |

The question is “When are you going to retire?”
The answer is “As soon as possible.”
The follow-up request is “Define ‘as soon as possible’”?
Do you have a set age in mind at which you want to retire? Are you just going to wait until you are in line for full Social Security benefits? Or are you going to make a decision based on your asset level and what that means for your retirement status?
Choosing when to retire can actually affect the quality of life in retirement. While investors often think lustily about the day they will retire, they don’t give a great deal of thought about planning for it, according to Spectrem’s study Financial Wellness in Retirement.
While many investors get fuzzy on the details surrounding retirement, most of them have a preconceived notion of when they plan to retire. Their responses are included in Financial Wellness, along with thoughts from retirees specifically about their retirement planning scheme.
When advisors meet with investors who have not yet retired, it would be fair game to ask what they have planned in that area. If they are adamant about retiring at a certain age, an advisor can help determine what investment decisions might make that an easier decision. If the investor is aiming for a certain asset level, again the advisor can help make that happen, and possible make it happen sooner than the investor thought.
According to the retirees surveyed for Financial Wellness in Retirement, the most popular answer to the question “when are you going to retire?” is “a certain age”. Whether it is retiring at 55, 60, 65 or 70, 30 percent of investors had that as their retirement goal. That sort of goal was more popular among older retirees: 38 percent of retirees who have been retired for at least 10 yeas aimed for that particular age as their retirement goal.
Advisors working with investors aiming for a certain age for retirement need to be honest about what that investor’s current portfolio will offer in terms of income when that age is reached. Otherwise, the investor could become disappointed, or make an inappropriate decision, and in both cases the advisor could prevent that from happening with forthright analysis of the investor’s net worth and future income products in place.
Unfortunately, 23 percent of retirees retired due to circumstances beyond their control. Numerous members of the Spectrem panel told stories about having retirement showed upon them by the death of a loved one, or a sudden loss of employment. When this happens, the investor will be needing advice from a number of people, including their financial advisor. While it is difficult to assist someone who has retirement thrust upon them, those people serve as a good example to other investors that the unexpected can happen at any time and investors need to build in some financial care in case they suffer an unfortunate loss of income.
Twenty-two percent of retirees aimed for a certain level of assets which would determine when they would retire. That means they are dependent on a combination of income from work and income from investments to reach that level. Investors need to know what the proper level of assets is to provide for a comfortable living in retirement, and that is where their financial advisor plays a role. There are many factors that need to be considered, and an investor might not be in a position to correctly research their income status upon retirement.
Only 4 percent of retirees retired when they reached the age of full Social Security benefits; that is more of a trend among older Americans. Only 2 percent of all retirees retired when they were old enough to be eligible for Medicare.
Top Takeaways for Advisors
There are indeed investors who do not know when they are going to retire, and there are investors who have no plans of retiring, ever. But those that want to retire need to think about when they want to do it, and advisors need to react accordingly. Investors who want to retire as early as possible need to show more aggressiveness in investment techniques, while those who are going to wait until the mid-60s when they reach full retirement tag are going to need a different strategy. There are also some Millionaire investors who have no plans to retire, and they present an entirely different investment approach.

A Vulcan term for their mating cycle.
Every seven years, the adult Vulcan undergoes an extreme and erratic physical and psychological imbalance, which can be fatal if the mating ritual is not carried out.
When Spock underwent Pon farr in 2267, the U.S.S. Enterprise journeyed to Vulcan, where his betrothed mate chose another champion to fight for her — Captain Kirk. Only after McCoy deceived Spock by injecting Kirk with a substance that simulated death did Spock return to his normal, logical demeanor.
Certain agents have been known to accelerate the Pon farr. For example, T'Pol found herself undergoing the Pon farr prematurely after being exposed to foreign microbes on an away mission in 2153.

If you have more than 10 days to prepare for your scheduled drug test, then the Toxin Rid 10-Day Detox is perfect. This product flushes out the drug toxins that stay in your urine, saliva, and blood for a long time. It’s designed for maximum exposure to controlled substances, such as cocaine and marijuana.
What is the 10 Day Detox?
Although there are many ways to pass a drug test, one of the safest and most successful ways to clear a drug test is through a natural detox. A detox is where all of the toxins from your body are naturally removed so you always appear clean on a test.
I recently had a drug test at work and I personally tried Toxin Rid 10 day detox and it helped me pass the drug test with flying colors. I felt like I should share my experience with others. That is why I decided to do this review to help people in a similar position.
In the past, I have tried a lot of detox solutions including natural remedies, detox pills, detox drinks, and other methods. But there was always a feeling of doubt in my head trying these methods because the internet has mixed reviews about these methods. I just wanted to make sure that when I go through a drug test, I am absolutely clean. And Toxin Rid is something I could trust.
In this review, I will show you how to use Toxin Rid properly for 100% success rate, and whether Toxin Rid 10 day detox is actually worth your time, money, and risk compared to other methods such as Toxin Rid 5 day detox. I’ll also try and give you some tips on a natural detox and a couple of other very useful stuff I found out that I believe will help you.
What is Toxin Rid 10 Day Detox?
If you absolutely need to make sure that you do not fail an upcoming drug test, natural marijuana detox is the best way to go. A natural detox requires you to make some temporary lifestyle changes including.
- Cutting out on carbs, fats, and processed foods
- Regular exercise daily
- Drink lots of water to stay hydrated
- Stop using drugs
- Eat only lean proteins, fiber, vegetables, fruit, and other healthy food.
- Use the sauna to sweat out the toxins on a regular basis
- Cut down on other toxins such as tobacco, caffeine, and alcohol.
This all sounds pretty good on paper, but getting this done in real life is actually pretty difficult and time-consuming. You shouldn’t really have a problem going down the natural detox road if you smoke weed like once or twice a week. But if you’re doing it every day, then you’re going to have to religiously follow these steps and the process can actually take quite a lot of time to clear your body of toxins.
Since I usually only smoke on the weekend, I don’t have to worry about drug tests that much. But recently, I started smoking a joint a day which meant that I had toxins coming to my body rapidly. When this happens, the metabolites from the drug usually start attaching to your fat cells. And it is actually quite a common problem when THC is concerned. The metabolites of THC can easily attach to your body’s fat cells and they can often refuse to let go. This is why THC can easily appear on a urine drug test even after you quit smoking a few weeks ago.
I tried a natural detox using a home test kit and it helped me pass the test after 13 days. I found this to be an insanely long period, especially when you’re used to smoking daily. This made me look for better detox solutions and I ended up trying detox pills.
But even with regular detox pills, I wasn’t mentally satisfied. The internet had very mixed reviews about certain pills. This is when I found out about Toxin Rid. I read a little about the product and found that it had a very unique ingredient list that set it apart from other detox methods which are usually made with the same basic and key ingredients. On top of that, Toxin Rid manufacturers do not make crazy claims about their product. To me, this just meant I was buying something from someone I could trust.
Toxin Rid Availability and Choices
If you search the internet, you’ll see plenty of detox pill courses, every single one of them claiming to be a miracle product. I tried Toxin Rid because this product looks and sounds very different from typical detox solutions. You’ll also see a lot more positive feedback surrounding Toxin Rid compared to other brands.
But here’s the thing, Toxin Rid is definitely very effective in delivering what it claims, but it isn’t a cheap method compared to others. But if you don’t want to risk your career, then I say every single penny spent on a solution that guarantees a negative test is worth it.
To help you cut down on the costs, the Toxin Rid is available in several course durations ranging from one day to all the way through to 10 days. Here are the courses you can get.
- 1-4 incremental courses
- 5-day toxin rid
- 7-day toxin rid
- 10-day toxin rid
Call it paranoia, but I don’t like going for shorter courses, so I completely avoided the 1-4 days incremental course. Although it is said that this course accelerates the elimination of toxins significantly, I couldn’t bring myself to believe this.
For me, the Toxin Rid 5 day detox sounded the best choice. But to be on the safer side, I still went on and grabbed the Toxin Rid 10 day detox and started using it immediately.
Is Toxin Rid 10 Day Detox Worth It?
Having said that, I just need you to know that Toxin Rid 10 isn’t always the best duration. If you’re a consistent weed smoker, I’d say that if you are going to put in the effort to go through a natural detox, why not just increase your odds by taking on the longest Toxin Rid course?
In fact, if you look at the reviews from people who have used it, a lot of them will tell you that the success rate significantly increases in the longer courses. So take the advice from experts and don’t risk your career to save some money.
You need to realize that a natural detox basically eliminates all the toxins at the same rate the body naturally does. So for example, if you have enough toxins for the body to take seven days to eliminate them, it will take seven days, not longer or shorter than that.
But if you use a Toxin Rid course, the elimination process is actually boosted by up to 50%, and sometimes even more. This means that while on a toxin rid course, you could be clean in no more than three days.
Honestly, to me, it is an investment worth going after because that way you don’t have to go through the natural detox program which takes weeks, and sometimes more to produce satisfactory results.

The Best Way to Use Toxin Rid
Toxin Rid is super easy to use but you will need to stick to a plan. If you often mess up with schedules and routines, I would recommend setting up daily reminders on your phone because if you miss taking the course even for a single day, it will hamper your progress and results.
The basic course instructions come with the Toxin Rid 10 day detox, but here’s how I like to do it.
- On the first day, consume three tabs of Toxin Rid pre-rid tablets at least 5 times a day, on the hour. The best time to take the tabs is in the morning. This way your body becomes super fast at pushing toxins out.
- Make sure you are drinking plenty of water when you are on the course. Ensure that you are also eating healthy. Stick to stuff that gives you a lot of fiber, and lean protein. Try and do regular exercise as well to make sure that your body is at its peak.
- On the last day of the course, two hours from after you have consumed your last pre-rid pill, drink half of the detox liquid either mixed with filtered water or orange juice. Make sure not to drink or eat anything else at least for the next two hours.
- After another two hours have passed, drink the remaining half of the detox liquid and repeat the process mentioned above.
- On the day of the drug test, consume any dietary fiber supplement just a couple of hours before heading out to give the test.
- Mix dietary fiber with 8 oz of distilled water and make sure you drink it rapidly. Now wait for at least 15 minutes and drink 16 oz of water. Now make sure you do not eat or drink anything until you have given your sample. Now make sure to urinate at least twice in the hour to complete the process.
What Are Other Toxin Rid Reviews Saying?
Apart from positive reviews of Toxin Rid, the only common problem a lot of people face while using the detox program is increased toilet activity. Toxin Rid accelerates the toxin elimination process which means your bowel movements will become rapid. You will also see a change of color in your urine and stool.
But basically, all the toxin rid reviews on the internet have the same thing to say – it’s powerful, it’s effective, and it works 100% of the time.
Where Can You Buy Toxin Rid?
I would highly recommend getting Toxin Rid from a reputable retailer because you really don’t want to mess this up. If you do not carefully pick a retailer, you may get your hands on outdated stuff, or just fake stuff. So instead of buying from random retailers on the internet, try testclear.com. This site offers the best price, the highest quality product, and great customer support. And oh, they also offer a full money-back guarantee.
You should also know that these detox products are not available in mainstream pharmacies or other stores. So you’ll have to resort to the internet to get these.
But here’s the thing, do not buy from Amazon or eBay because the people selling these products are usually unauthorized resellers and you’re probably going to get yourself fake pills.
Secret Tips to Make Sure You Pass a Drug Test
For me, Toxin Rid 10 Day detox worked wonders. I love smoking weed and I proudly do it every day. For someone like me, if this stuff works, I am sure it will work for others too.
To help you pass a drug test with flying colors, here are my personal tips –
- Keep a few home test kits to test for drug metabolites at home. This way you can tell if you are using the right Toxin Rid product.
- After completing the toxin rid course, test yourself thoroughly. Make sure to test on the morning of the drug test as well.
- For additional safety, buy yourself a high-quality detox drink and take this with you on the day of the drug test. Drink it after you have finished taking dietary fiber supplied with the Toxin Rid course.
I have been tested for drugs many times and every time I have cleared it thanks to Toxin Rid 10 day detox. With the tips I just provided, and the method to follow the course, there is no way that you will ever fail a drug test. | <urn:uuid:d87690b3-39a1-4699-879a-e30f33622747> | CC-MAIN-2019-43 | https://the420times.com/toxin-rid-10-day-detox-review/ | 2019-10-17T19:13:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-43/segments/1570986675598.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20191017172920-20191017200420-00473.warc.gz | en | 0.954067 | 2,387 |
Half of American workers are women -- but they don't earn half of all income
The recession has led to many transformations in the employment landscape. One is that women now hold half of all the jobs in the U.S., according to statistics from the federal government. The Wall Street Journalreports that women make up 49.9% of the work force, up from 48.7% in December 2007. In 1970, women held only 35% of all jobs.
Lots of forces are behind this trend. Some women are taking jobs because their spouses earn less money due to the tight economy or because their spouses have lost their jobs. Households under pressure from debt burdens need more income, so many single-income families are becoming two-income families. And layoffs seem to be hitting men disproportionately in this slump.
The statistics also suggest that businesses may be taking advantage of the recession to replace more expensive male workers with less-expensive women with similar skills. The average male employee in the U.S. made over $46,000 in 2008. The average woman made less than $36,000.
Whether this is entirely legal under antidiscrimination laws is hard to parse, but it has two effects. The first is that some corporations can improve margins by turning to female workers. Their higher profits should help the economy and the national tax base.
The bad news is that women's lower salaries will almost certainly have a negative effect on consumer spending. The $10,000 difference between the pay of men and women could make a big difference in the ability of a household to buy goods and services. It will also probably make it harder for the retail sector to rebound, even as the holidays approach.
Some women have dreamed of the day when they would have equal representation in the work force. Unfortunately, now that they have it, they're getting paid less than men and laboring harder during the worst recession in decades.

Berkshire College of Agriculture
If your job involves applying pesticides in a commercial role then you are legally required by the Plant Protection Products (Sustainable Use) Regulations (2012) to take the PA1 qualification.
The new PA6 qualification is designed specifically for those who wish to apply pesticides using various types of handheld applicators and we offer two options within this course – application of pesticides on land (PA6A) and application of pesticides near water (PA6AW). We can also deal with requests for stem injection (PA6INJ) and pesticides plugs (PA6PP) – please speak to us if you require either of these.
- There are no pre-requisites for this course.
- You should bring suitable clothing for pesticide application. If you’re not sure what to wear, then please read our article Some Notes On PPE For Sprayer Training Candidates, written by pesticides assessor John Cooke.

When I first came to the US in 2008, Lehman had just gone the way of the dodo.
Someone noticed I had a foreign accent and told me I'd never get a job in the US, much less in startups, much less in NYC ("there are no startups here"). And why would I want to do that instead of keeping my cushy management consulting job in Europe?
Four years later, I was managing the Data and Marketing teams at Etsy, the marketplace for creative and independent businesses, the place to buy the things you care about.
In the summer of 2013, I moved to Los Angeles to join Reformation, a group of people who want to overcome the tradeoff between doing good and looking good. At Reformation, I lead online efforts, marketing, and analytics.
In these five years, some incredible people took wild bets on me, so the least I can do is paying it forward Tell me how I can help you. | <urn:uuid:2e56739c-9d50-422f-a601-d4d600dbdf61> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://www.robertomedri.com/about | 2018-11-21T01:59:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039746926.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20181121011923-20181121033923-00111.warc.gz | en | 0.979067 | 195 |
Nobody will ever know if Jhon Jairo Echenique decided to take his own life out of remorse, fear or mental illness. But the suicide followed his arrest for the stabbing and burning with acid of his 19-year-old former girlfriend Angélica Gutiérrez.
A law student, Gutiérrez was attacked at home. Neighbours took her to hospital where she died. Echenique, the prime suspect, was arrested in the Caribbean city of Cartagena de Indias in northern Colombia. Hours later, he used his shirt to hang himself in his cell. | <urn:uuid:ba776fe4-fe54-4c47-a841-5dcc958c4067> | CC-MAIN-2014-23 | http://www.violenceisnotourculture.org/theme/resistance?page=7 | 2014-07-29T22:53:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-23/segments/1406510267876.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20140728011747-00209-ip-10-146-231-18.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.990028 | 122 |
This verdant theatre stages the happy reunion of all the floral kingdoms and continents. Walking it evokes the experience of a fifth season, where colours and perfumes seem to mix. Expect to find an ode to diversity and miscegenation. North American magnolias rub shoulders with distant cousins, such as Chilean coconut trees, in sequences that, like bouquets, are yours to develop.
Some details amaze as much as they teach: Did you know that lemons and oranges originated in Asia before being implanted on the French Riviera? Walking the Coulee Verte means invariably coming away with new colours added to your palette.
Halfway through, Place Massena is an ideal stop on this accelerated journey through the nature of the world. On the west side of the square, the vast aquatic mirror will return your look forever three kilometres. On the east side, take a refreshing dip in the thousands of droplets that weave ‘the plateau of mists', and continue towards the conservatory of the oeillet (carnations indigenous to Nice) and the bandstand where many other countries await your visit.

The most recent operators to join Ubisoft’s Rainbow Six Siege have arguably been one of the most unique ones ever added to the first-person shooter. In Operation Grim Sky, the GSUTR CTU added two operators, a blowtorch wielding attacker named Maverick, and the first defensive operator using a full sized taser shield named Clash. Even before their release, players were suspicious of the functionality and balancing of the new operators, and knowing Ubisoft’s history with this topic, they had every right to be.
Upon the Grim Sky release on the test servers, both operators were considered to be ‘overpowered’ and unbalanced in several ways, though several balancing changes were made before the update went live. A month after release, the dust has settled and the real balancing issues have come to light.
While Maverick’s blowtorch is still insanely quiet, a more pressing problem lies within Clash. Admittedly, the release of a shield-carrying defender is new territory for Ubisoft, so some hitches are to be expected, but Clash has severely affected the meta in a negative way. Although several shield operators are available for attackers, many believe that they do not belong on the defensive side.
Needless to say, playing against a Clash can be extremely infuriating, but that’s the whole point of the operator. Where the balance breaks is when she becomes less of a support operator and more of a ‘fragger’. Although her weapon loadout compared to other operators is much weaker, Clash is still able to exploit the one-shot headshot mechanic of Rainbow Six Siege and win the gunfight. While this is true for all shield operators, such as Blitz, Clash’s ability to slow enemies down and swiftly swap to her secondary is the reason why she is considered broken.
Unfortunately, due to the nature of Rainbow Six Siege, the balance issues that arise with Clash cannot be fixed with minor changes. As is the case with Lion, major changes need to be made to Clash if Ubisoft desires a balanced meta. The operator’s issues are not constrained to a specific skill level, however, as player players from all skill divisions, including professional player such as Pengu of G2 Esports, believe that Clash is overpowered and unbalanced. Hopefully, for the sake of the players, the Rainbow Six Siege developers address this major problem. | <urn:uuid:4ad4dfce-5762-4bbf-ac3b-fa8bc4f30a8a> | CC-MAIN-2021-25 | https://appuals.com/rainbow-six-sieges-clash-is-in-dire-need-of-a-rework/ | 2021-06-15T23:20:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-25/segments/1623487621627.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20210615211046-20210616001046-00221.warc.gz | en | 0.968958 | 488 |
From Leora Wilson’s memoirs: “My mother, Laura Jordan Goff, and I moved here to Guthrie Center, Iowa, February 10, 1948. Mother moved from Omaha where she had lived and kept house for my brother, Clarence Goff, for several years. I moved from near Perry.”
Laura left four grandchildren in Omaha, while Leora’s six (at the time) lived in Iowa. The two women had come home to their roots and were about the same distance for children and grandchildren to come for a visit.
The house had only two bedrooms, but they had a fold-out couch, where I remember sleeping with cousins. Eventually a bed was added to the unfinished basement.
“Mother and I lived here [in Guthrie Center] together almost 15 years,” Leora wrote. “Mother passed away December 6, 1962. She enjoyed life–crocheting, going places, and was hospitalized twelve days before her death. She was a wonderful mother, so good to look on the bright side of every problem. She was with Dad and me for all the births of our children.”
Grandma Leora could be described the same way: a wonderful mother, so good to look on the bright side.
I love those old-style awnings.
They really helped too!
Aw, I love the picture of the cousins! 🙂
I think that’s so cool that they enjoyed living together like that.
I think they were a godsend for each other. “Leora’s Dexter Stories: The Scarcity Years of the Great Depression” will share more of what they endured even as neighbors through earlier challenges. | <urn:uuid:2e610b95-0efd-4d9a-82a0-7157e3104472> | CC-MAIN-2023-14 | https://joynealkidney.com/2021/02/12/grandma-leoras-home-in-guthrie-center/ | 2023-03-23T11:08:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-14/segments/1679296945144.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20230323100829-20230323130829-00422.warc.gz | en | 0.983397 | 360 |
Yesterday, a rancher brought us "a passel o' cats," 18 to be exact. He had trapped them using a clever contraption involving chicken wire, bait food, and a long string that he used to trip a gate. I'm not sure how, but he had managed to get them all inside a giant plywood box that he had nailed shut. It took two of us to carry the crate inside, and as we tilted it on end to fit it through the door, we could hear 324 claws scrabbling around inside. Not a happy sound.
I and one of the other workers, Mark, took the crate into our "Cat Intake" room. Shutting the door, we pried out the nails holding the crate shut. I think we were both expecting the crate to spontaneiously explode, sending cats flying around the room like a shotgun full of bouncy-balls, but as the last nail was removed, the crate stayed ominously silent.
I opened the lid a crack, and saw 36 glowing eyes staring at me. Apparently they were just waiting for a sign that freedom was imminent, because they chose that moment to make their break for it.
Cats of all colors and sizes went zinging around the room, scrabbling up the walls, bouncing off the door, and ricocheting off the ceiling. Wielding our cloth pinchers, we tried to snag them mid-flight, but there were just too many! They were everywhere! All seemed lost! We were about to beat a desperate retreat when we noticed a curious phenomenon: we already had opened a few of the cages in the rooms, and the cats apparently saw them as safe places, foxholes so to speak, from which to launch new attacks. Quickly, we started slamming the full cages shut and opening new ones, which the still-loose cats also mistook for safe zones, climbing up the walls to get to them. Moments later, all the cats were ensconced in cages, and the battle was won. | <urn:uuid:a4164acc-b1f2-4a91-bc5b-45719ebce944> | CC-MAIN-2021-04 | http://46dogs.blogspot.com/2007/05/yesterday-rancher-brought-us-passel-o.html | 2021-01-19T22:14:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-04/segments/1610703519784.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20210119201033-20210119231033-00411.warc.gz | en | 0.989688 | 413 |

A local father is to run two marathons in a month to raise funds for Jigsaw (South East) and The Mulberry Centre
Mark Bullock, 42, from Twickenham, is currently training for a double marathon challenge, running the Richmond Marathon on Sunday 17 September and the Birmingham Marathon less than a month later Sunday 15 October.
He wishes to raise funds for two charities that are close to his heart, having supported his wife Vicki, who is fighting a terminal cancer diagnosis, and their six-year-old son Josh.
“The bravery shown by both Vicki and Josh has been nothing short of astounding,” said Mark. “It has been a long, hard battle so far and hopefully one that doesn’t end too soon. During this time, we have been calling on the invaluable support of two incredible charities – Jigsaw (South East) and The Mulberry Centre”.
Jigsaw (South East) is a local charity that provides support to bereaved families as well as those facing the devastating news that a family member has a life-threatening illness. The Mulberry Centre provides information and support services to those facing the prospect of living with cancer.
“Jigsaw’s support is critical through times like this and have provided Josh with a network of others facing the same challenges,” said Mark. “This is invaluable for a little boy facing the prospect of life without his mummy”.
Nickey Price, Operations Manager for Jigsaw (South East), said:
“We are so grateful to Mark for undertaking not only one, but two grueling physical challenges to raise awareness and funds for two charities that have been supporting his family through an incredibly difficult time. It is a huge compliment to us to be recognised in this way.
“As a small, local charity, we are hugely dependent upon donations and funds raised by brave and inspiring individuals like Mark to enable us to keep reaching out to bereaved families as well as those facing the loss of a loved one through serious, life-threatening illnesses.”
Based at East Court Mansion in East Grinstead since 2006, the charity offers support to children and young people who have a family member with a serious, life-limiting condition. It also provides grief support to children and young people who have experienced the death of a significant family member through illness, accident, suicide or murder (through groups in Reigate and Guildford and East Grinstead).

PROJECTS IN THE WORKS
Refurbishing Los Angeles one building at a time
To create spaces and communities that promote the arts, protect architecture and nurture the environment.
Former Candy Manufacturing - Spring 2021
Avalon Blvd., Los Angeles 90011
The giant 40,000 SF two story former Candy Company building is one of our newest findings. It was built in 1935, and shortly after in 1942 it become the manufacturing plant for Los Angeles's largest Candy Manufacturer, Christopher Candy Company.
There are so many possibilities and so much we can do with this red brick beauty. We have completed the design phase to convert this gem into a major hub where creative minds can live, play, work and, create together. The design mix consists of Twenty Five creative spaces of Work, Live/Work and a specialty Coffee Shop.
The first floor spaces offer exposed wood beam ceiling, large industrial windows, concrete flooring and roll up doors, while the second floor units offer vintage wide plank wood flooring, mezzanine/ loft with private open air roof top decks which overlooks the one of a kind DTLA. All front facing units on both floors have the park view which is conveniently located across the street.
It is located just south of DTLA, one mile east of USC, and Banc of California soccer stadium.
Oh and by the way we are going to name it “Candy Company Lofts”. Stay tuned!
Los Angeles Historic District - Spring 2021
Washington Blvd., Los Angeles 90006
It's a golden opportunity when you come across a charming building in LA’s most preserved District- Harvard Heights.
The two-story building depicts the area's early 20th Century architecture characterized by fine craftsmen-style woodwork and high ceilings.
It’s convenient location and charming neighborhood makes it an opportunistic playground. Our plan is to re-imagine this charmer and convert it into five live/work studios. The idea is to preserve the historic aesthetic while creating a ground for creative minds and artists to live/ work & play!
Old Nick Candy Bar Manufacturing - Spring 2021
Jefferson Blvd., Los Angeles 90018
Old Nick featured a roll of fudge and nuts covered in milk chocolate. One of the most popular chocolate bars of its time. Once again we are lucky enough to get our hands on yet another super interesting site. Two adjacent structures were built in 1924 to become the home for the most famous candy manufacturer of its time.
We are in the process of converting the two buildings into what we call “Old Nick Lofts." The idea is to preserve its bones and reimagine the amazing structures into an awesome live/ work atmosphere. It will be a place where creative minds can live, work, play and create amazing things together.
The structures will consist of thirteen creative live/ work lofts with open to the sky rooftop deck, massive industrial windows, exposed wood beam ceiling, vintage hardwood flooring, a lush outside patio with fruit trees, and gated parking.
It is located half mile west of the USC village with easy access to DTLA and Culver City.
Saki Liquor Building - Summer 2020
Jefferson Blvd, Los Angeles 90018
Amongst our many exciting projects that are forthcoming is the landmark Saki Liquor Building. The tall one-story structure has over 160' of frontage along West Jefferson Blvd. and is hard to miss while driving up and down the boulevard. The subject has been the home of Saki Liquor for 57 years ( Since April 14, 1960).
We are thinking outside of the box, and are in the process of converting this fantastic structure into what we call "AIR on Jefferson" (AIR is short for Artist-in-residence). The idea is to develop a compound of live/work studios, which caters to the inspiring and innovative artisans of West Jefferson Artist District. It will be a collective where creative minds can live, work, and play.
The super high ceiling one-story compound will consist of eight creative live/work lofts with massive abundance of natural lighting, exposed wood beam ceilings, concrete flooring, upper lofts with vintage spiral staircases, private balconies, roll up doors, and an outside patio.
Its location is in the heart of Artist District, east of Culver City, West of the USC campus, and is within walking distance to the expo line (DTLA - Santa Monica). Stay Tuned!
LAUSD - Japanese Language School - Summer 2020
12th Ave, Los Angeles 90018
It's always fun to walk around in the yard of a former elementary school and to reimagine it for a purpose so far from its original use. The Japanese Language School was founded in 1950 and operated in the same location for six decades while serving the community. It finally closed its doors in the summer of 2017.
We were lucky to get our hands on this special purpose property which we intend to convert into a live/work compound serving the artsy Community of West Jefferson Artist District.
The compound will offer eight Creative Live/Work studios with high ceilings, exposed wood beams, plenty of natural lighting, lush outside patio, and gated parking.
It is located in the Heart of the Artist District and is in walking distance from the Expo line (DTLA - Santa Monica) and the new Crenshaw line to LAX (completion in 2019). The property is in close proximity to Culver City, DTLA, and many other new developments. Stay Tuned!

You, LORD, give true peace to those who depend on You, because they trust You
Friend to Friend
As I stood on the sideline of the football field where my then eighteen-year-old son was practicing for the South Florida All Star Football Game, I was not prepared for the hideous sounds and horrific sights that assaulted every protective sense I have as a mother. My baby – my six-foot, two hundred and thirty pound baby – was knocking padded giants left and right as he bulldozed his way toward the goal line.
Mixed emotions and foreign thoughts flooded my heart and mind. On one hand, I was so proud of Jered that I felt like shouting to the college scouts standing beside me, “That’s my boy!” On the other hand, I wanted to drag him off the field, lock him in his nice, safe room and never let him play the barbaric game of football again.
The curious thing is that Jered was and is a gentle young man that loves every animal he sees. Jered will do anything to help anyone in need and rarely gets angry. So what happened when he stepped on that football field? I’ll tell you what happened; he turned into a growling, intimidating predator, who would bash heads and bruise any bodies that got in his way.
On the ride home that night, I shared my thoughts with Jered, describing my astonishment at his metamorphosis from the teddy bear I knew to the bulldozing bear opponents feared. He laughed and said, “Mom, ninety per cent of football is mental. If you think tough you will be tough.” I could buy that theory, in part, but looking at Jered’s size, considerable bulk and bulging muscles, I had to believe that his physical attributes had something to do with his intimidating bruiser mentality on the football field. “Son, you are a hulk. Any player would be afraid of you!” He grinned, loving the compliment and then reminded me of a friend who had graduated two years before.
Chris was a short and lean but deadly running back known for intimidating players twice his size. I did remember Jered coming home from several practices complaining, “I’d rather get hit by anyone but Chris. He is brutal!” Jered then said something I will never forget. “Mom, Chris was a great football player because he thought he was a great football player. I have seen so many guys who are bigger, stronger and better who could not begin to play as well as Chris played. In football, success is not only in the body but also in the mind.”
What a powerful truth – on the football field – and in the game of life.
The thought processes of a child are very different from those of a mature person. A child thinks only of himself and his desires. For the sake of survival, every baby comes into this world as a narcissist, thinking only of its own needs. But with healthy growth of the mind comes a natural change in focus from inward to outward.
The thought life of a mature believer must be well trained because the greatest battlefield for the Christian is the mind. Proverbs 23:7 tells us, “For as he thinks within himself, so he is” (NASB). In other words, what we think about powerfully influences who and what we will become. Our actions, our attitudes and habits are born in the mind, an offspring of the thought life we entertain.
We can literally change our life by changing how we think – but we cannot do it alone. God’s standard and guideline for the thought life is very clear and brutally demanding. In fact, it’s downright impossible without God’s power at work in us.
Philippians 4:8 (NCV) “Think about the things that are good and worthy of praise. Think about the things that are true and honorable and right and pure and beautiful and respected.”
We choose what we watch and read, the conversations we have, and the time we spend in the Word. If the mind is not filled with good, trust me, the enemy will fill it with bad. The human mind will always set itself on something.
In this passage, Paul is challenging us to wisely choose that setting, taking charge of our thoughts by inviting the Holy Spirit to empower God’s standard for the mind.
It is time for us to allow the Holy Spirit free reign in training our mind, harnessing our thoughts and measuring them by God’s standard. If we don’t make up our mind, our unmade mind will unmake us. In order to live right we must think right. How about you? Have you made up your mind?
Lord, I confess to You that my thoughts are not pure. I have allowed the world and outside influences to pollute the mind that should be set on You. Right now, I choose against my old ways of thinking and invite the Holy Spirit to stand guard over my mind. I commit to fill my heart and mind with Your truth.
In Jesus’ Name,
Now It’s Your Turn
Recognize the power of your thought life.
Read Colossians 3:2.
Choose God’s worthy standard for your thought life from this day on.
Read Romans 8:6.

Shot Composition in THE LITTLE FOXES
Besides the fascinating characters and storyline, THE
LITTLE FOXES is also famous for its black-and-white cinematography by
cameraman Gregg Toland (who worked on CITIZEN KANE the same year).
An important element of that photography however was director
William Wyler's shot composition -- how he set up a scene and arranged the various
elements (characters, sets, props, etc.) within it.
composition in THE LITTLE FOXES is subtle, non-distracting, and even yet,
exceptionally complex. Although the audience doesn't necessarily
notice this while watching the story unfold on film, it becomes apparent
in the collection of screen captures below:
This shot of the Hubbard family at breakfast is atypical of
Hollywood films of the time -- or even of films today. Typically, such a shot
would be composed with the table clearly visible in the middle, one
character in a chair on each end, and one in a chair on the back side, with the camera assuming
the point of view of the empty fourth chair. Though the characters may be sitting at the table
quite normally in this shot, the camera is not capturing them from the point of view of
the fourth chair (which would be facing Leo head-on), but rather over the shoulder of Oscar Hubbard. This
permits the characters and the expressions on their faces to fill up the
screen instead of letting the frame be dominated by the table and the space
between the characters in their various positions.
This coverage shot of the living room creates three distinct planes of
activity in the room: the piano in the foreground, the settee and chairs in
the center, and the staircase in
the background. (Notice how all three planes are in focus.) Each plane
of activity is its own little world in the context of the scene, and yet, is
still shown in relation to the whole. All the characters and their positions in the
room are clearly visible, yet they don't seem squished together for the
benefit of the camera. This kind of shot composition takes advantage
of the camera's deep-focus capabilities and allows the director to show all
the activity within the scene without cutting back and forth between
of different characters or using distracting camera movements to pan back
and forth between certain areas of the scene.
This later shot of the living room scene again comprises three distinct
planes of activity, although they are not the same three as in the previous
coverage shot. The settee and chairs are again a plane (and this time,
the one emphasized in the foreground), while the staircase in the background remains an unused
part of the scene. A new plane of activity has been introduced between
the settee and the staircase however -- that of Aunt Birdie in a chair
against the wall over Regina's right shoulder. Again, this allows the
director to focus on the conversation taking place between Regina and her
brothers, while at the same time, including Aunt Birdie's quiet reactions.
If Wyler had cut away from the conversation to show a close-up of Aunt
Birdie's sullen face, and then cut back to the conversation (as is typical
in such a situation), he would have destroyed the subtlety of this approach.
One of Wyler's most ingenious shots of the entire film is this shaving
scene between Oscar Hubbard and his son Leo. In the Lillian Hellman play
(on which the film is based), this scene
takes place at the breakfast table over a cup of coffee. But
moved it to the bathroom and faced the two men away from each other --
simultaneously showing them to be very similar characters (their parallel
dress and activity), but also a father
and son out of touch with each other.
Again, after establishing the spatial relationship between the characters with
the coverage shot
above (as in the living room scene), Wyler changes angles to better capture the
facial expressions of the actors. Using juxtaposed mirrors, the shot
captures not only the faces of both characters so the audience can see them
at the same time,
but it also captures them from the point of view of the characters themselves.
Thus, the audience sees Oscar and Leo in the same manner in which they are
seeing each other.
Another shot featuring several characters but placing them in different
planes so as not to crowd them together physically. Note how each
character's placement in this shot is a commentary on that character's role
in the scene. The camera is looking over David's shoulder at the
conversation taking place between Aunt Birdie, Alexandra and Horace (the
topical emphasis of the scene). Thus, just as David is essentially an
observer to the scene, so the audience adopts his point of view for its own
observing. Also, just as Addie (in the background plane) interjects
occasional comments into the conversation, so her character is visually
interjected into the scene in the natural space between Alexandra and Aunt
Again, two characters conversing while facing away from each other (as
in the shaving scene). In this instance however, only the facial
expressions of one are visible. The malicious nature of Regina's
character has already been established, so it is not important to show the
audience her face in order to demonstrate how she is intending to hurt
Horace with her comments; the audience already understands this.
Instead, this shot composition emphasizes Horace's reaction to the cruel
things Regina is saying to him, revealing the true effect of her words and
providing the basis for the heart attack which is to follow.
Yet again, multiple planes of activity (the stairs, the three men, and
the settee and table), but notice this time how Wyler places Horace's safe
deposit box on the table in the foreground. It is in plain sight, but
just as the audience doesn't immediately notice its presence in the shot,
neither do Ben, Oscar and Leo. It is their discovery of the box which
prompts a dramatic change of course in both the plotline and the mood of the
scene, and thus, the safe deposit box's key role in the course of events is emphasized by its central
placement in the shot.
Again the multiple planes, this time emphasizing how Regina has suddenly
become the center of attention (because she knows Leo stole the bonds and is
prepared to prosecute him). Also, forced into the secondary plane,
Oscar and Leo (now that their plotting has been discovered) have lost their
equal status in the family as well as in the shot. Ben joins Regina in
the foreground because he is the only one worthy of her attention.

By Lynne Snierson
Horsemen and employees of Suffolk Downs took advantage of their last opportunity to stand up for the survival of the Thoroughbred racing and breeding industry in New England Aug. 11 when the Massachusetts Gaming Commission held its final public input hearing on Mohegan Sun's proposal to develop a $1.3 billion casino project on racetrack grounds.
"Preserving the racing industry here is very important to all of us. The alternative is very scary," said Dyn Panell, one of many members of the local riding colony who showed up at Revere High School dressed in their silks and boots. "It's not easy to just pick up and move somewhere else. I own a house here and have kids in school. It's hard to pack your tack and try to break into the jocks' room somewhere else and start all over."
Mohegan Sun/Suffolk Downs is in competition with Wynn Resorts, which wants to develop a $1.6 billion casino just two miles from the track's stable gate in Everett, Mass., for the sole Boston area destination casino license.
The owners of Suffolk Downs in East Boston have been candid in stating that if Mohegan Sun does not prevail, this live racing season will be the last at the 79-year-old track, which is the last of 17 Thoroughbred tracks in New England. But at the same time, they recently signed a surrounding community agreement with the City of Boston that legally requires the track to offer live racing for a minimum of the next 15 years if Mohegan Sun wins the license and develops the casino on 40 acres of leased land on the portion of the track within Revere's city limits.
Karen Benson and her daughter Paige own and operate Indian Rock Farm, a breeding, training and lay-up facility located 10 minutes from the track.
"This decision is also about preserving the agricultural industry. It's quite a big deal to us," said Karen Benson, who sits on the board of directors of the Massachusetts Thoroughbred Breeders Association. "My farm is a family farm that has been here for 14 years. I have six mares and in the last two years have only had one foal each year because of the uncertainty hanging over us all. This year we didn't have any foals. We also have seven retired racehorses from Suffolk Downs who are retraining for second careers. If Mohegan Sun doesn't get the license it will put us out of the Thoroughbred business."
A final public input hearing on the competing proposal by Wynn Resorts is scheduled for Aug. 12.
Under the state gaming statute, the gaming commission must take action in 39-90 days after the public hearings conclude. The commissioners said they will begin deliberations during the week of Sept. 8 and expect to announce their choice for the license Sept. 12.
Louis Ciarlone, the business agent for IBEW Local 103, the union representing the vast majority of the unionized work force at the track, implored the commissioners to select the proposal of Mohegan Sun/Suffolk Downs.
"Some of the most decent, hard-working and caring people you would ever want to meet plead with you to save their jobs and the industry they love when you make your final decision," he said.
No matter which proposal is chosen, it must withstand a statewide referendum to repeal the law authorizing expanded gambling that will appear on the November ballot. Meanwhile, members of the racing industry and pro-casino forces are working diligently to defeat the repeal effort. | <urn:uuid:c2473542-95e6-48d9-b910-7858d53fd8f7> | CC-MAIN-2014-41 | http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/articles/86717/horsemen-voice-support-for-suffolk-casino?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Bloodhorse%2FTopHeadlines+%28Bloodhorse.com+-+Top+Headlines%29 | 2014-09-17T01:03:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-41/segments/1410657120057.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20140914011200-00174-ip-10-196-40-205.us-west-1.compute.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.964894 | 734 |
Black Economic Empowerment
T-Systems embraces change
As a multi-national company operating in South Africa, T-Systems South Africa has both the privilege and the responsibility to contribute to the development of our Country. T-Systems are recognised as more than just an innovator in the field of information communication technology.From its inception in South Africa, T-Systems set out to proactively participate in the transformation of this country, and the broader ICT industry, using its resources, influence and networks to create a sustainable economy for itself and those around it. As a multinational, it has always been T-Systems' view that effective empowerment is critical to business success in South Africa.
A six-point approach to transformation was developed and it is aligned to the ICT charter. This includes equity ownership, employment equity, skills development, preferential procurement, enterprise development and corporate social investment. In alignment with the ICT charter,T-Systems’ has strict internal procurement policies that promote equal spending opportunities with BEE suppliers. T-Systems has also made considerable strides in Supplier Development to facilitate the procurement strategy to create credible black owned SMME type companies and incorporate these into its value chain as an added benefit to its customers.
T-Systems South Africa is delighted to announce that it has achieved a level 2 Value Added B-BBEE rating for the period of Feb 2014 to Feb 2015. This was achieved by stringent and consistent measures in place to continuously drive tangible compliance. As an organisation T-Systems ascribes its recent success to the concerted effort of the management board in embracing good corporate citizenship which resulted in the unwinding of the ownership partnership with AA Bushveld. The current implemented structure focuses strongly on inclusive, accelerated transformation to enable nation building. The structure as such has been compartmentalized into two distinct broad-based participants comprising of an employee share appreciation scheme and a community trust. The employee share appreciation scheme takes the form of an ESOP reserving a stake of 10% participation by black males and a further 10% by black females employed by the local entity.
T-Systems South Africa has over a decade of strong history of creating ICT skills in the communities within which it renders business. Some of these skills initiatives are in the form of accredited programmes such as the ICT Academy and the Hazyview Digital Learning Centre. The T-Systemsmanagement board has seen it fitting to include community broad-based participation which includes among others these two successfully funded and managed community skills programmes. The allotted shareholding to the community trust is 10%. These changes equate to 30% broad based ownership participation aligned to the intent of promoting ethical corporate practices to preserve the company’s triple bottom line (i.e. people, profit & planet).
As a Level 2 Contributor, the BBBEE procurement recognition is 125% for companies that buy services from T-Systems. T-Systems is also recognised as a Value Adding Enterprise and customers can therefore count 156% of their total spend with T-Systems towards the Preferential Procurement BBBEE score of their own organisation. | <urn:uuid:ce486c12-ed8d-4513-a550-32b9c749cd7b> | CC-MAIN-2019-18 | https://www.t-systems.com/za/en/about-t-systems/company/nation-building-journey/black-economic-empowerment/black-economic-empowerment-442268 | 2019-04-19T06:20:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-18/segments/1555578527148.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20190419061412-20190419083412-00206.warc.gz | en | 0.949262 | 638 |

Secretary Zinke Signs Secretarial Order Prioritizing Big Game Corridors and Winter Range
On February 9, Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke signed Secretarial Order 3362 to improve habitat quality of big game migration corridors and winter range on lands administered by the Department of the Interior (DOI) in the 11 western states. The order, which was signed during the Western Hunting & Conservation Expo in Salt Lake City, Utah, is intended to improve collaboration with state fish and wildlife agencies and private landowners to identify, conserve and restore priority winter range and migration corridors.
“We all know that animals go where animals want to go, and more often than not that’s dependent upon natural features like watersheds, rather than whether land is owned by the BLM, state, or private landowners. We need to manage appropriately. My goal is healthy herds for American hunters and wildlife watchers, and this order will help establish better migration corridors for some of North America’s most iconic big game species like elk, mule deer and antelope,” said Secretary Zinke in a statement. “American hunters are the backbone of big game conservation efforts, and now working with state and private landowners, the Department will leverage its land management and scientific expertise to both study the migration habits of wildlife as well as identify ways to improve the habitat. For example, this can be done by working with ranchers to modify their fences, working with states to collaborate on sage brush restoration, or working with scientists to better understand migration routes.”
The order will facilitate collaborative efforts with state fish and wildlife agencies and non-governmental organizations on conservation and restoration efforts for big game winter range and migration corridors. Together the partners will identify priority areas and work together on a potential range of actions including habitat restoration on degraded winter range and migration corridors (such as pinon-juniper encroachment into sagebrush or wildfire restoration), limiting disturbance of big game on winter range, avoiding or minimizing development activities that fragment winter range or corridor habitat particularly during sensitive seasons, and more. In addition, land management bureaus are tasked with working with state fish and wildlife agencies to use winter range and migration corridor data in the Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies’ Crucial Habitat Assessment Tool when updating land-use plans or for significant projects on federal lands.
“Big game populations have faced increasing challenges during their seasonal migrations and in the crucial winter period, and federal public lands play a critical role in the annual life cycle of mule deer and black-tailed deer,” commented Mule Deer Foundation President/CEO Miles Moretti who hosted the Secretary at the WHCE for the signing ceremony. “While big game species are managed by states, and we have worked closely with western state fish and wildlife agencies in support of their efforts, the Department of the Interior plays a key role in conserving these important habitats on the lands that they manage.” | <urn:uuid:d7209b88-d67d-4f9c-b7c1-ad456a79396c> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://wildlifemanagement.institute/brief/february-2018/secretary-zinke-signs-secretarial-order-prioritizing-big-game-corridors-and | 2022-09-28T19:32:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030335276.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20220928180732-20220928210732-00570.warc.gz | en | 0.939786 | 603 |

By: Felicia Bender, Ph.D., Unsettled: Tuscany alum and Practical Numerologist
Are you ready for your next adventure and yet are unsure where to point your compass? It’s time to turn to the numbers!
Everyone knows their sign in Astrology. Referring to yourself as a Sag, Libra, or Scorpio is something you can chat about at a party or casually refer to at the office.
Yet do you know your number in numerology?
Just like your astrological sign, you have vital information at your fingertips through numerology.
The Life Path number in numerology is similar to your sun sign in astrology.
Here’s how you calculate it:
Let’s use the birthdate June 18, 1990
To calculate the Life Path number, you simply add the MONTH + DAY + YEAR
Remember: You reduce to a one-digit number.
June = 6 (because it is the 6th month of the year)
18 = 1 + 8 = 9
1990 = 1 + 9 + 9 + 0 = 19 | 1 + 9 = 10 | 1 + 0 = 1
Now add together:
6 + 9 + 1 = 16
Keep adding: 1 + 6 = 7
In this example, you would have a 7 Life Path
What Is Your Life Path?
1 Life Path: The Innovative Leader
As a 1 Life Path, you’re a mover and shaker. You march to the beat of your own drum and often veer toward the off-beat and quirky. Creative to your core, you’re drawn to travel that piques your sense of independence and pushes your competitive spirit. Let’s just say that the 1 Life Path isn’t averse to taking a risk and coloring outside the lines.
The Perfect Getaway: You’re often drawn to pushing your own boundaries. A jaunt through the Garden Route through Cape Town in South Africa—complete with Bungee Jumping off Bloukrans Bridge—will get your adrenaline pumping.
Seeking Serenity: The 1 Life Path is hard driving, so why not take your foot off the accelerator and take a chill-pill? Roll out the yoga mat and “Om” your way to rejuvenation in Bali.
2 Life Path: The Intuitive Peacemaker
As a 2 Life Path, you prefer traveling with your plus-one or your posse. Solo adventures aren’t really your happy zone. You’re the love bug of Life Path numbers and seek emotional connection all day and in every way. You’ll often find yourself tending to the details of your travel plans and coming up with sweet and thoughtful ways to make your excursion something to cherish for everyone involved.
The Perfect Getaway: Sometimes it’s difficult for you to decide where you want to go because you’re so focused on what everyone else wants to do. Consider Costa Rica for one epic week of off-grid living in primary rainforest.
Seeking Serenity: The 2 Life Path blossoms with group activities and one-on-one time with your romantic partner. Try some hikes, meditation, and energy work in the world-class creative capital of Mexico City, where we adventure to the small towns outside of CDMX that are renowned sources of spiritual energy.
3 Life Path: The Creative Communicator
As a 3 Life Path, you thrive when you’re exploring on every level. Curiosity is your middle name! Your Life Path is paved with optimism and a lighter, joyful touch. Haul out the spotlight, because you’re a natural with anything that taps into your communication skills, including performance, speaking, counseling, or writing. Travel is a great way for you to gather more material and indulge your people-watching obsession.
The Perfect Getaway: City life calls you, oh-3 Life Path! Get thee to a concert, play, or gallery opening! Try the neon lights and underground sites of Tokyo, Japan.
Seeking Serenity: The 3 Life Path is an emotion ocean and taking time to cool your jets is mandatory. If you’re desire is for serene excellence, the rolling green hills of Tuscany, with all the olive groves and pasta you can handle, may be exactly what you need to rejuvenate.
4 Life Path: The Teacher & Systems Builder
As a 4 Life Path, you love a good adventure, yet it must be impeccably organized and structured. You’re a knowledge sponge and lifetime learner, so you’re often drawn to travel with a focus on expanding your knowledge—whether it’s a bird-watching tour, scuba diving, or a trip where you hone your photography skills. You’re the one who researches everything about where you’re going, staying, and are interested in the history of your destination.
The Perfect Getaway: The 4 Life Path invented the color-coded calendar! A solid itinerary is a must for you. The outdoors also beckons. How about charting the majestic waters of Mexico’s Sea of Cortez and its historically epic sea life by sailboat in Baja California Sur.
Seeking Serenity: If there’s something the 4 Life Path needs to prioritize, it’s relaxation and flexibility. An outdoor adventure in the rainforests and serene beaches of Costa Rica has your name on it.
5 Life Path: The Sensuous Freedom Seeker
As a 5 Life Path, you’re born for fearless adventure. Your mantra is “Don’t fence me in!” The globe is your oyster and you’re meant to rack up experience points, not souvenirs. Of all the Life Path numbers, you were born with a golden passport and are meant to use it. Your sensual nature attracts you to total immersion in tactile experiences. Food and wine don’t even scratch the surface of your hedonistic palate.
The Perfect Getaway: The 5 Life Path relishes travel, adventure, and cultural difference on a grand scale. There’s really no wrong destination for the 5, given that everything becomes an experience and a story to tell. Like traversing the cultural oasis of Medellin, Colombia, you’re born for a life of travel.
Seeking Serenity: Despite the frenetic nature of the 5 Life Path, often you are drawn to metaphysics. Take a dip into stillness of the turquoise waters of Baja California Sur on an epic sailing adventure.
6 Life Path: The Nurturing Visionary
As a 6 Life Path, you’re often more of a homebody. Getting you out the door and on the road can take a little convincing, yet when you’re in, you’re in. You’re the culture vulture of the Life Path numbers and love nothing more than seeking experiences that feed your refined aesthetic sensibilities. Traveling with family or your plus-one is preferred. As a 6, you’re highly responsible and can easily get overwhelmed with the planning and execution of your perfect excursion. Loosen up and enjoy the ride, even if it comes with a few unplanned detours along the way!
The Perfect Getaway: The successfully single 6 Life Path might yearn for the culture of city life, including concerts and other performance venues. Mexico City offers a rich cultural experience that is sure to quench your thirst for the vivacious and the audacious!
Seeking Serenity: The 6 Life Path can reach burnout at record speed given that you’re always putting out fires, both in your personal and professional life. Try pushing the reset button where the mountains meet the sea in Cape Town.
7 Life Path: The Analyst & Spiritualist
As a 7 Life Path, you’re a seeker on every level. Travel beckons your soul and you’re often a person who needs some unplugged time to process all that life brings your way. You thrive in nature, particularly near water. The 7 Life Path is both the analyst and (sometimes reluctant) spiritualist. The mystical might call to you, whether that shows up overtly in the way of a meditation retreat, conscious breathing workshop, or other esoterically centered destination. Or it can show up as hiking, bike rides, or a winery tour.
The Perfect Getaway: The 7 Life Path is often drawn to the road less traveled. Why not take the plunge and explore the colorful Latin American streets, inspired by Paris’ famous boulevards, in Buenos Aires.
Seeking Serenity: If you’re attracted to the spiritual life, bring your yoga mat and get your Zen on in Costa Rica.
8 Life Path: The Financial Powerhouse
As an 8 Life Path, you’re the most business-minded of the Life Paths. When you’re in the groove, you’re the connector, influencer, and prefer the finer things in life. Often you have the opportunity to mix business with pleasure. The 8 Life Path moves through life with a large and in charge attitude. When it comes to travel, you’ll often make sure that your accommodations are first rate, whether you’re camping or taking a luxury barge tour.
The Perfect Getaway: The 8 Life Path loves to enjoy comfort and quality. You’re always up for a challenging adventure. The Amazon beacons with experiences and tales to tell for the rest of your life!
Seeking Serenity: The 8 Life Path lives a rather intense life with lots of professional pressure. So you might find yourself desperately seeking serenity! If this is the case, Bali may be exactly up your alley.
9 Life Path: The Charismatic Humanitarian
As a 9 Life Path, you’re a romantic at heart and international travel is an important part of your life’s journey. You’re the compassionate humanitarian and love to explore different cultures. You’re the person who sees the spark of humanity in every walk of life. You can often flow seamlessly from the streets of India to the affluence of Beverly Hills. You’re creative, charismatic, and always up for an adventure.
The Perfect Getaway: The 9 Life Path benefits when you expand your perimeters and stretch the limits of your comfort zone. Why not try somewhere a little out of your usual stomping ground? How about Tokyo or Lebanon?
Seeking Serenity: Ready to slow down for a moment, oh-fast paced 9 Life Path? Perhaps tapas and wine in Barcelona would offer time and space for reflection and gearing down.

A practical exercise in getting tangled in the legal web of Public-Private Partnerships
In an earlier article published by SAHA we noted certain concerns around accountability with respect to record keeping within Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs). Specifically we noted that there appear to be two types of PPPs. Those that are registered with National Treasury in terms of their regulations (and that are therefore officially PPPs) and those that are not, but still masquerade as being official PPPs.
As part of FOIPs ongoing PPP project, launched in 2015, we identified documents in terms of Treasury regulations, all PPPs should have and thus, began by requesting those documents. The initial requests tested the Education sector and the results were not encouraging.
During President Zuma's 2016 state of the nation address, he expressly mentioned on two occasions PPP projects that were already in operation and one that was indirectly mentioned as being remarkably similar to a PPP. As SAHA is in possession of a list of active PPPs registered with Treasury, following a previous PAIA request, we noticed that the PPPs referred to by the President were not on the list. SAHA therefore submitted PAIA requests in relation to each of these supposed PPPs for the documents that all PPPs produce and keep in terms of National Treasury Regulations, in order to clarify whether the PPP's the President referred to were in fact PPPs, or simply being held out as PPPs.
These requests were in relation to project Operation Phakisa and the Sovereign Innovation Fund as well as Ketlaphela project which was indirectly referred to as a being a PPP. Of the three SAHA was only able to identify who the private partner was in the Operation Phakisa project, we therefore submitted two requests in relation to this project, one to the government department and the other to the private partner. With respect to the Sovereign Innovation Fund SAHA was unable to identify the private partner and was forced to submit the request only to the government department. Lastly with respect to the Ketlaphela project, we decided to probe for slightly more loosely termed records seeing as the project was only inferred to be a PPP.
Safe to say the results from these requests have been poor. Not only have we not yet received any records but have not even received an acknowledgment of our requests from the Department of Science and Technology for the Ketlaphela and Sovereign Innovation Fund as well as the Department of Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation for the Operation Phakisa despite a decision being due under PAIA on 18 March 2016 for all 3 requests. However, Transnet has provided SAHA with an acknowledgement letter and we have since paid the section 22 request fee. From communication with some of the parties to these agreements held up by the President as PPPs it appears that these are in fact not really PPP's - which means that there is less regulatory oversight with respect to these agreements and even less transparency from a record-keeping point of view.
The loose use of the term PPP's by government is worrying not only from an access to information point of view but from an administrative one too. As PPP projects must by law be registered with Treasury and comply with the Regulations issued in relation to PPP's, holding up an agreement as a PPP suggest compliance with these legal requirements, when in fact there is less oversight and less transparency.
In South Africa PPP's are generally being treated by government as a presumptive good - with this project SAHA aims to probe this presumption through strategic PAIA requests. It is worrying that government is extending this presumption to agreements that are not even really PPPs and therefore are not subject to the minimal transparency and oversight that PPP's are in terms of Treasury Regulations. | <urn:uuid:fc498c65-7397-44c9-a0a9-9670b67c0d9a> | CC-MAIN-2018-34 | http://www.saha.org.za/news/2016/March/a_practical_exercise_in_getting_tangled_in_the_legal_web_of_public_private_partnerships.htm | 2018-08-16T01:08:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-34/segments/1534221210387.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20180815235729-20180816015729-00378.warc.gz | en | 0.983223 | 775 |
We have the honor to have Prof. Marina L. Gavrilova here on our campus to deliver a talk on Biometric Recognition, recognizing a person by determining the authenticity of a specific characteristic – biometric features, such as Physiological Biometrics (face, fingerprint, hand, ear, Iris, palm print, hand vein, tooth, retina etc.), Behavioural Biometrics (voice, gait, signature, key-stroke dynamics, etc) and Social Biometrics (Twitter, Flickr, etc). The talk will discuss various problems in biometric data acquisition, feature matching, multi-modal fusion, pattern recognition, etc.
Title: The Social Aspects of Biometric Recognition through Human Perception
Speaker: Prof. Marina L. Gavrilova, Department of Computer Science, University of Calgary
Venue: CREATE LT, Fusion Building, Talbot Campus, Bournemouth University, Fern Barrow, Poole, Dorset, BH12 5BB
Time: 14:30-15:30 Wednesday 26th July 2017
Abstract: Our society continues to undergo tremendous growth with respect to all aspects of information access and sharing. It had a profound effect on the way we, humans, and the whole society lives, works and interacts in business and social settings. The information being shared through social networks, on-line communities, games, software development tools, e-mails, blogs, posts, etc. is enormous. It also ranges in type: text, images, hyperlinks, likes, network connections, etc. What’s more, human social, behavioral and even cognitive traits are becoming more and more visible through interlinking of heterogeneous communications in on-line and off-line settings and even in our visual preferences. This phenomenon gave rise to the rise of a new concept: Social Biometrics, that attempts to understand and extrapolate trends related to all aspects of human social activities. The talk is devoted to definitions, examples, case studies and very recent research trends in this domain. The introduced concepts will be further illustrated through two case studies: establishing identity of Twitter users through social networks analysis, and gender recognition of Flickr users based on human aesthetic preferences.
Marina L. Gavrilova is a Full Professor in the Department of Computer Science, University of Calgary. Dr. Gavrilova’s research interests lie in the areas of biometric security, cognitive sciences, pattern recognition, social networks, and cyberworlds. Prof. Gavrilova is the founder and co-director of the Biometric Technologies Laboratory and SPARCS lab, with over 200 publications, including the World Scientific Bestseller (2007): Image Pattern Recognition: Synthesis and Analysis in Biometrics and IGI (2013) book Multimodal Biometrics and Intelligent Image Processing for Security System. She is a Founding Editor-in-Chief of Transactions on Computational Science journal, Springer, and an Associate Editor of the Visual Computer and the International Journal of Biometrics. Prof. Gavrilova has given invited lectures at leading international conferences (3AI, CW, WSCG, GRAPHICON, PSC, ICCI*CC, MIT, ICBAKE, etc), and appeared as guest at DIMACS Rutgers University/Bell Labs, USA; Microsoft Research, Redmond, USA; Samsung Research, South Korea; SERIAS Purdue University, USA, among other universities.

Industry 4.0 is inevitable, and everyone is looking to find a way forward. But manufacturing leaders who focus only on the technology involved will be frustrated—because the new industrial revolution is just as much a culture and people thing as it is a technology thing.

Being a competitive player in the aerospace and defense industry is no small feat. In an industry in which you need to be accountable for every piece of an assembly, meeting customer expectations and requirements can be daunting tasks.

I’m among the first to dive into the latest manufacturing innovations and see how they can improve our customers’ operations.

Defense systems are, by design, built to defend against threats. Today, however, manufacturers of these systems are focusing on an entirely new kind of threat: security breaches targeting their automation systems.
It’s a familiar scenario at the factory. Quality issues have reared their ugly heads, requiring rework, causing backorders, delaying shipments, and driving tense daily customer calls. Meanwhile, the team works to address production issues using a mix of day-old post-mortem reports, shop-floor observations captured on notepads, and other operational data summarized on spreadsheets and sticky notes.
In today’s booming software landscape, you see highly dynamic teams quickly iterating to develop and improve their products.

Thou should'st have loved it most, when most oppressid.
And nurs'd it with an agony of Care,
Ev'n as a Mother her sweet infant heir,
That wan and sickly droops upon her breast!
Thou gentle Look, that didst my soul beguile,
Why hast thou left me? Still in some fond dream
Revisit my sad heart, auspicious Smile!
As falls on closing flowers the lunar beam :
What time, in sickly mood, at parting day
I lay me down and think of happier years ;
Of Joys, that glimmer'd in Hope's twilight ray
Then left me darkling in a vale of tears.
O pleasant days of Hope-for ever flown!
Could I recall you !-But that thought is vain.
Availeth not Persuasion's sweetest tone
To lure the fleet-wing'd Travellers back again :
Yet fair, tho' faint, their images shall gleam
Like the bright Rainbow on an evening stream.
Dear native Brook! wild Streamlet of the West !
How many various-fated years have past,
What blissful and what anguish'd hours, since last
I skimm'd the smooth thin stone along thy breast,
Numbering its light leaps! Yet so deep imprest
Sink the sweet scenes of Childhood, that mine eyes
I never shut amid the sunny blaze,
But straight with all their tints thy waters rise,
Thy crossing plank, thy margin's willowy maze,
And bedded sand that, vein'd with various dies,
Gleam'd thro' thy bright transparence to the gaze!
Visions of Childhood ! oft have ye guild
Lone Manhood's cares, yet waking fondest sighs,
Ah! that once more I were a careless Child !
COMPOSED WHILE CLIMBING THE LEFT ASCENT OF BROCK
LEY COOMB, IN THE COUNTY OF SOMERSET,
With many a pause and oft reverted eye
I climb the Coomb's ascent: sweet songsters near
Warble in shade their wild-wood melody :
Far off th' unvarying Cuckoo soothes my ear.
Up scour the startling stragglers of the Flock
That on green plots o'er precipices browze:
From the forc'd fissures of the naked rock
The Yew tree bursts! beneath its dark green boughs
(Mid which the May-thorn blends its blossoms white)
Where broad smooth stones jut out in mossy seats,
I rest.–And now have gain'd the topmost site.
Ah! what a luxury of landscape meets
My gaze! Proud Towers, and Cots more-dear to me;
Elm-shadow'd Fields, and prospect-bounding Sea!
Deep sighs my lonely heart : I drop the tear:
Enchanting spot ! O were my Sara here!
Sweet Mercy! how my very heart has bled
To see thee, poor Old Man! and thy grey hairs
Hoar with the snowy blast; while no one cares
To cloathe thy shrivell’d limbs and palsied head.
My father! throw away this tatter'd vest
That mocks thy shiv'ring! take my garment-use
A young man's arm! I'll melt these frozen dews
That hang from thy white beard and numb thy breast.
My Sara too shall tend thee, like a Child :
And thou shalt talk, in our fire side's recess,
Of purple Pride, that scowls on Wretchedness.-
He did not scowl, the Galilæan mild,
Who met the Lazar turn'd from rich man's doors,
And call'å him Friend, and wept upon his sores!
Pale Roamer, thro' the Night! thou poor Forlorn!
Remorse that man on his death-bed possess,
Who in the credulous hour of tenderness
Betray'd, then cast thee forth to Want and Scorn .
The world is pityless; the Chaste one's pride,
Mimic of Virtue, scowls on thy distress:
Thy Loves and they, that envied thee, deride:
And vice alone will shelter Wretchedness!
O! I am sad to think, that there should be
Cold-bosom'd lewd ones, who endure to place
Foul offerings on the shrine of Misery,
And force from Famine the caress of Love!
May He shed healing on thy sore disgrace,
He, the great Comforter that rules above !
SCHILLER! * that hour I would have wish'd to die,
If thro' the shudd'ring midnight I had sent
From the dark Dungeon of the Tower time-rent
That fearful voice, a famish'd Father's cry-
That in no after moment aught less vast
Might stamp me mortal ! A triumphant shout
Black Horror scream’d and all her goblin rout,
From the more with’ring scene diminish'd past,
Ah! Bard tremendous in sublimity !
Could I behold thee in thy loftier mood,
Wand'ring at eve with finely frenzied eye
Beneath some vast old tempest-swinging wood !
Awhile with mute awe gazing I would brood,
Then weep aloud in a wild extacy!

Oft o'er my brain does that strange fancy roll
Which makes the present (while the flash doth last)
Seem a mere semblance of some unknown past,
Mix'd with such feelings as perplex the soul
Self-question'd in her sleep: and some have said *
We liv’d, ere yet this fleshy robe we wore.
O my sweet Baby! when I reach my door,
If heavy looks should tell me, thou wert dead
(As sometimes, thro' excess of hope, I fear)
I think that I should struggle to believe
Thou wert a Spirit, to this nether sphere
Sentenc'd for some more venial crime to grieve ;
Didst scream, then spring to meet Heaven's quick reprieve,
While we wept idly o'er thy little bier !

FIRST PRESENTED MY INFANT TO ME.
CHARLES ! my slow heart was only sad, when first
I scann'd that face of feeble infancy:

AMHERST, Mass. - University of Massachusetts Chancellor David K. Scott has issued the following statement regarding today''s student rally on admissions issues.
"I understand the students'' concern, and I, too, am concerned about many of the same issues."
"Students have a right to express their concern and disagreement with the administration''s decisions. That is to be expected in a public institution."
Scott also said the administration will not back away from the changes in admissions practices announced in February, nor will there be any moratorium on the changes.
He said it is time to move beyond the focus on a moratorium and for all groups to work together to make the campus stronger and more unified.
He also said he has contacted the leaders of the Student Government Association, asking for a meeting on these issues and inviting them to appoint students to work through the summer serving on an Admissions Task Force and a Retention Task Force. | <urn:uuid:c8bc910b-4ca8-4d66-ab83-36f34d277758> | CC-MAIN-2014-49 | http://www.umass.edu/newsoffice/article/statement-admissions-issues-umass-amherst-chancellor-david-scott | 2014-11-26T18:51:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-49/segments/1416931007324.75/warc/CC-MAIN-20141125155647-00240-ip-10-235-23-156.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.95993 | 189 |
WASHINGTON–If it all sounds bizarre, it nevertheless is happening up and down big business. Consider the following:
Gas and electric utilities who for a number of months were telling customers to conserve gas and electricity are now demanding higher rates because customers responded and reduced demand. These utilities have consumers coming and going because it wasn’t very long ago that the companies were asking for higher rates to be able to respond to increasing demand.
General Motors has led the industry in offering the air bag safety system as an option on 50,000 1974 cars, yet seems to want to keep it a secret by not promoting it. So Allstate insurance company places full page ads in newspapers promoting GM’s air bag! Allstate has been trying to get GM to feel less shocked about actually being first among the laggard auto companies on this safety feature.
The federal government is paying Ford and Volkswagen to develop a medium size advanced safety automobile. Ford which grosses $1.5 million an hour on the average 24 hours a day had no difficulty accepting its $595,000 share from Uncle Sam to do what it should have done on its own.
While several state insurance regulators have been pressing auto insurance companies to reduce their rates due to lower highway speeds and less driving arising out of the energy situation, the companies are actually pressing the Cost of Living Council for an increase in rates.
The oil industry which controls natural gas and hefty portions of coal and uranium resources insist on pushing prices of cheaper fuels up to meet the levels of its more expensive fuels. This is awesome market power indeed.
What these illustrations show is that both the market and government regulators are being snowed under by the unilateral power of giant business and their trade associations. Unless consumers spend more time fighting back instead of just groaning, the situation will worsen.
What can be done? Here are a few efforts that show the way:
Lawyers for the Oregon and Massachusetts student public interest groups are leading a national student drive to have states adopt their plan called “Lifeline Service” which would exempt small household users from future electric rate increases. The student goal is to change the present inverted rate structure where the biggest industrial and commercial users receive rates far lower than a small homeowner.
San Francisco Consumer Action, launched by Neil Gendel, a former California Assistant Attorney General, has published a “Shopper’s Guide to Banking Services” called “Break the Banks!” This booklet compares the price of loan, checking and savings services of banks in the San Francisco Bay area. Gendel says the guide is so designed that consumers in other cities can easily adapt it to local banks.
A leading insurance scholar, Professor Joseph Belth of Indiana University has started his own newsletter “The Insurance Forum” to tell consumers the truth about abuses and deceptions on a company by company basis. Belth, whose accurate charges against the insurance industry has jarred many a red-faced executive, will discuss such specific subjects as “What ITT Life is doing to college students?” or “What the Equitable of New York does to beneficiaries?” or “How to pay premiums for ‘a piece of the rock’ and have no insurance protection?”
Then there is the “Stone Soup”–one of many community food stores in Washington, D.C. and other cities springing up around the country that are organized around cooperative or non-profit principles. They’re buying wholesome food wholesale and by cutting overhead and merchandising frills are passing on the savings to neighborhood consumers. | <urn:uuid:aec4b39e-b4ee-4ce9-ac38-185e6ee42736> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://nader.org/1974/01/28/fighting-back/ | 2021-10-26T19:03:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323587915.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20211026165817-20211026195817-00247.warc.gz | en | 0.964631 | 740 |

The storage of liquid helium at low pressure requires vacuum-insulated dewars or tanks. Linde offers stationary tanks and dewars as well as transportable dewars in various sizes for the transport and distribution of liquids.
Distribution systems and valve boxes
Filling liquid helium or hydrogen into tanks, transport containers or transport dewars as well as the distribution of liquid helium from dewars or valve boxes to experiments require transfer lines or highly complex distribution systems. Linde supplies a full range of pipework and systems for this purpose: from simple filling siphons to complex LN2-shielded valves, distribution boxes and multiple transfer lines.
Linde Kryotechnik AG offers a number of analytical devices for detection and measurement of contaminants in helium. Even traces of air components such as nitrogen and neon or moisture can cause operating problems in cryogenic processes. The Linde Multi-Component Detector measures the various air contaminants in the vpm range. The main features of these devices are: continuous measurement of air contaminants in helium; no need for carrier gas; simple installation; reliable operation.
For measuring oil mist in helium, Linde supplies a pyrolyser. This add-on is attached to the basic unit (see above) and measures oil contaminants in helium in the ppm range. The device is calibrated for the oil type used and provides measurements at regular intervals. | <urn:uuid:8e9d2ca5-06cf-4fba-8355-cd71dd493073> | CC-MAIN-2019-39 | https://www.linde-engineering.com/en/process-plants/cryogenic_plants/equipment_and_accessories/index.html | 2019-09-23T12:06:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-39/segments/1568514576355.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20190923105314-20190923131314-00366.warc.gz | en | 0.875662 | 345 |
Sipping wine? What are McLaren playing at! | The NR F1 Podcast returns to help preview the 2017 Formula 1 season
PUBLISHED: 11:55 10 March 2017 | UPDATED: 15:13 26 April 2017
The NR F1 Podcast – recorded in the county that gave the world Team Lotus, Martin Brundle and a training ground to the likes of Ayrton Senna and Mark Webber – kicks off its 2017 season in style.
It’s not a grower – in fact, it’s horrible. That’s the McLaren verdict of David Tillyer as The NR F1 Podcast returns ahead of the 2017 Formula 1 season, to sum up some of the big winter stories, the first forays into pre-season testing, the new rule changes – and most importantly, those darn liveries.
Edition 144 of the pod sees Michael Bailey signal The NR F1 Podcast’s intentions for the new year – the pod’s sixth season – with Tillyer and Richard Baxter in tow. They also reminisce over Bernie’s exit and ask the question, does Taco Bell give you the squits?
The NR F1 Podcast gets together in Norwich to send Norfolk’s views on the latest Formula 1 action out across the world.
From Team Lotus to Snetterton, Martin Brundle to the racing development of Ayrton Senna, Mark Webber, Jonny Herbert and more, Norfolk knows F1 – and wants to discuss it with you.
The pod will return with their predictions for the new F1 season, ahead of the season-opening Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne on Sunday, March 26. | <urn:uuid:b7122026-53d7-4bef-a017-6d8df286c431> | CC-MAIN-2017-51 | http://www.hackneygazette.co.uk/sport/sipping-wine-what-are-mclaren-playing-at-the-nr-f1-podcast-returns-to-help-preview-the-2017-formula-1-season-1-4925175 | 2017-12-11T13:28:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-51/segments/1512948513512.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20171211125234-20171211145234-00484.warc.gz | en | 0.910147 | 350 |
Fiesta Percusiva, the title of this album by master percussionist and multi-instrumentalist, Victor Rendón does not even begin to describe fully the depth of this project. Sure it is a celebration. Which record driven by Latin rhythms is not? Yet it is much more than this. It is an emotional journey into the world of percussion from various corners of the Latin world. But that world is so vast that it must certainly come to be known as a veritable galaxy. This is a master class on the use of percussion to create a harmonic environment so vast and rich in polyrhythms that it overwhelms the senses like a sea swelling with such intensity that it appears impossible to harness.
“Soy Chicano” tells the story extremely well. This could be the pivotal track on the record. Here voice artist, Pazcual Villaronga tells Rendón’s story. As the sensuously slow danzon unfolds Pazcual narrates the rich cultural genealogy of the “chicano,” a cultural collision of Mayan, Aztec, African and European. As the story mesmerizes the music continues to wind and twist with the resonant ringing of the vibes as the percussion changes ever so subtly. This is pure genius on the part of Rendón, an alumnus of Mongo Santamaria and the New Xavier Cugat. There is cumbia, bomba and more forms that may be alive today. Perhaps the most spectacular track of the record is the raw, traditional Yoruba worship drumming on the celebration of the Santeria ritual, “Batá…” where Roman Diaz, Diego Lopez and Rendón share credits on the three original sacred batá drums – the “Iyá,” “Itótele” and the “Okónkolo”. This kind of drumming may never be heard on record, unless it was a street senteria in Santiago de Cuba, perhaps. And there is also the apocalyptic, “In The Pocket,” another masterful rhythmic journey through rumba, baila, and more…
But there is also the element of virtuoso showcasing of music that came to be called “jazz.” In its entire African American splendor. This is Rendón’s memorable version of Mongo Santamaria’s “Afro Blue” a truly hypnotic rendition that continues to echo in the mind’s mind, long after the last notes of the song have faded into the past. In the spectacular bleeng…blingablingg…of the vibes and the runntrunatrunn of batá and timbales, the whole of the African American Diaspora cones to life. Of course there is much more to recommend this percussion project automatically. And it is all very beckoning. Suffice it to say that this is a record of immense importance. Few Latin musical projects – outside of Brazil, barring the ones of Chano Dominguez of Spain – can lay claim to such unbridled originality as Victor Rendón’s Fiesta Percusiva.

'Despicable Me 2' No. 1 on Home Entertainment Charts for Fifth Week
It's the best performance for a title since the spring of 2010, when "Avatar" topped the list for four weeks.
There’s no stopping Universal Studios Home Entertainment's Despicable Me 2, which once again topped the national home video sales charts for the week ending Jan. 12 – the animated sequel’s fifth consecutive week as the country’s top-selling DVD and Blu-ray Disc.
The film remains atop both the Nielsen VideoScan First Alert sales chart, which tracks DVD and Blu-ray Disc combined sales, as well as Nielsen’s dedicated Blu-ray Disc sales chart.
Another Universal Studios title, Fast & Furious 6, slipped to No. 5 on First Alert after four weeks at No. 2.
Despicable Me 2’s five straight No. 1 finishes is the best performance for a title since the spring of 2010, when Avatar was No. 1 for four weeks and slipped to No. 2 in the fifth. A year later, Rio spent four weeks at No. 1 before dropping to No. 3 its fifth week in stores.
Two new releases scored well their first week in stores: Lionsgate’s Duck Dynasty Season 4 bowed at No. 2 on the overall sales chart, while 20th Century Fox’s Runner Runner – a crime drama with Ben Affleck and Justin Timberlake that grossed a disappointing $19.3 million in theaters – debuted at No. 3.
On the Blu-ray Disc sales chart, Runner Runner bowed at No. 2, while Duck Dynasty Season 4 failed to crack the top 20 – not surprising, given that only 5% of its total unit sales came from the high-definition format.
Runner Runner, in comparison, generated 41% of its total unit sales from Blu-ray Disc.
On Home Media Magazine’s rental chart for the week, both Despicable Me 2 and Fast & Furious 6 soared to the top now that their 28-day holdback from rental outlets Netflix and Redbox is over. Fast & Furious 6 debuted at No. 1, while Despicable Me 2 bowed at No. 2.
The previous week’s top rental, 20th Century Fox’s The Wolverine, slipped to No. 3. | <urn:uuid:88110f4a-b502-416e-a311-b5c99ad51d4f> | CC-MAIN-2014-23 | http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/despicable-me-2-no-1-671432 | 2014-07-28T20:30:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-23/segments/1406510261958.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20140728011741-00301-ip-10-146-231-18.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.922515 | 485 |
