Credentials: BS was from a top 30 public university, but not in the field of chemistry (I was a biochemist at the time). PhD from a top 20 university in chemistry (Physical/Inorganic). 2.5 year postdoc, also at a top 20 university. While, from a school standpoint, this is not a top-notch pedigree, I worked for people that are influential and well-liked in the community. More importantly, I did good work, independently, in their labs and had a very good relationship with my advisors. This, I think, is critical (more on this later).
Competition: Very stiff. There is absolutely no way to sugar coat this. It is killer. I do not know the statistics for where I applied, but it is not unusual to have 300+ applicants for a single position. Of course, many of these are cast out very quickly. My understanding is that a typical search narrows things down to about 30 people quickly. From that perhaps 3-7 come out for visit. Then one of them gets an offer.I'm always curious about these sorts of situations, where the competition for a position is fierce, as they say. [Sidenote: What is considered fierce? The competition to become a McDonald's fry cook, I presume, is not fierce. I'd say greater than 50% of applicants to fast food restaurants are offered a position. On the other side, the competition to become president of the United States is extraordinarily fierce, with very narrow résumé requirements and a famously brutal application process.]
Here's what I'd love to know: what are the criteria for making that 'first-cut'? If the initial application pool is 300 and there are 30 "real applicants", what distinguishes that 10% from the other ninety? How much of that 90% are people who just don't meet the requirements to begin with (i.e. how bimodal is the distribution of quality?) Presumably, there's a raw publication count and a raw measurement of university/advisor quality. Other than that, I have no idea.
Readers, what say you? At what point does the competition between job candidates leave the quantitative and become quite qualitative? Is it at the "30 candidates" phase or the "3-7 candidates" phase? | <urn:uuid:fa9a8f6a-7669-4a26-ae91-bca4412dd8d0> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://chemjobber.blogspot.com/2011/08/how-fierce-is-competition-oh-its-fierce.html | 2019-07-17T04:29:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525046.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717041500-20190717063500-00353.warc.gz | en | 0.975443 | 502 |
Safeguarding Your Eyesight Now To Prevent Vision Loss In Old Age
Prevention and Treatment Taking preventative measures to protect your eyesight is key with aging.
“The big challenge in Canada is that we have an aging population, and all the major diseases that cause vision loss are associated with aging,” says Dr. Keith Gordon, Vice President of Research at the Canadian National Institute for the Blind. “We’re outliving our eyes.”
The big three
When it comes to age-related vision diseases, the two major ones are diabetic macular edema (DME) and age-related macular degeneration (AMD), with retinal vein occlusion (RVO) being the less significant third. DME is a condition that causes damage to the retina due to diabetes, and is a consequence of diabetic retinopathy which is the leading cause of blindness in people aged 20 to 64. AMD comes in two forms: the more common dry variant and the less common, but more severe, wet variant. In both types, deposits in the back of the eye weaken the layer under the retina, allowing blood vessels to grow through. Retinal vein occlusion is a blockage in the veins that drain blood from the eye, and can result in rapid and complete vision loss.
These three conditions have a variety of different profiles and risk factors, both controllable (diet and smoking, for example) and uncontrollable (like genetics). Three things that these conditions all have in common, however, are that the risk of developing them increases with age, they currently have no cure, and they have a similar metabolic mechanism. “The three diseases are all driven metabolically by the formation in the eye of unusual levels of a hormone known as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF),” explains Dr. Netan Choudhry who is the medical director of the Vitreous Retina Macula Specialists of Toronto.
Good treatment options, but no cure
Within the last two decades, the arrival of a number of anti-VEGF therapies on the market has revolutionized the treatment of these diseases, often allowing doctors to completely preserve eyesight in cases where blindness would have been previously inevitable. “The treatments are miraculously successful,” says Dr. Alan Berger, a vitreoretinal surgeon at St. Michael’s Hospital. “But it’s important to remember that they are a treatment, not a cure.”
Injection of anti-VEGF therapies needs to continue on an ongoing basis for treatment to be successful, and the outcome can vary dramatically depending on how early the disease is caught. “We wish we had a cure or a good preventive treatment for these diseases, and one day we may have it,” says Dr. Berger. “Right now, though, early diagnosis is the best chance for a good outcome.”
Early symptoms of these eye diseases can include blurry or distorted vision, dark spots in central vision, or sudden loss of vision. pain in the eye. In some cases, however, the diseases can progress quite severely before any symptoms are noticed. “We have two eyes, and in a situation where one eye is losing vision, the other eye takes over to an extent, so the vision loss creeps up on most people,” says Dr. Choudhry. “One of the best things patients can do is to see an eye care provider for a dilated eye exam once a year, starting at the age of 45.” Since there are therapies available for these conditions, there is no reason why anyone should go blind provided they have solid education on these diseases-period.
Catching these diseases early, before they have progressed, not only results in better prognosis with current treatment options, but can also preserve vision in a way that may leave the door open should a cure be developed in the future. “There is an incredible amount of work going on right now that is very promising,” says Dr. Gordon. “But we’ll have to wait at least a few years.”

Interesting to note, according to analysts at Deloitte, up to 60% of Canadians would use such cannabis edible products. Aurora Cannabis has been so enthralled with the opportunity it expanded into edibles, vapes, and concentrates to take advantage. Canopy Growth Corp. is launching edibles, beverages, and vape products on Cannabis 2.0. Even HEXO Corporation may benefit from its cannabis-infused drinks with Molson Coors Brewing. The big day is opening a wide range of opportunity for companies including The Yield Growth Corp. (CSE:BOSS) (OTCQB:BOSQF), Aphria Inc. (NYSE:APHA)(TSX:APHA), Charlotte’s Web Holdings Inc. (CSE:CWEB) (OTCQX:CWBHF), Aurora Cannabis Inc. (NYSE:ACB)(TSX:ACB), and CannTrust Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:CTST).

(TSX-V: GYSR), for the production and launch of Yield Growth’s Canadian Cannabis brand Jack n Jane, a line of cannabis-infused products including tinctures, topicals and capsules. This announcement coincides with Health Canada’s official legalization of the production and sale of cannabis extracts and cannabis topicals effective today, marking the one-year anniversary of the legalization of recreational marijuana in Canada. Yield Growth will engage Apothecary Botanicals to manufacture and distribute its Jack n Jane products in British Columbia, combining Yield Growth’s proprietary formulations with Apothecary Botanicals’ cannabis supply, services, facilities, equipment and required Health Canada licenses for processing and sales. Yield Growth will supply all non-cannabis ingredients, packaging, and design while Apothecary Botanicals will supply cannabis containing THC and/or CBD as required for the various product formulations. The first phase of production is expected to include three tinctures containing THC and CBD, with a goal of coming to market by December 31, 2019.
Yield Growth intends to incorporate many of the products in its catalogue into the Jack n Jane line, including its own proprietary hemp root oil as a key ingredient and many other high-quality botanicals. The product line currently includes CBD and THC tinctures, muscle and joint gel, massage oils, muscle balm, and foot cream, with several new products in development including transdermal patches and bath soaks. “Ancient Ayurveda apothecaries worked diligently over millennia to unlock the vast potential of this medicinal plant,” says Penny White, CEO of Yield Growth. “We are looking forward to bringing the highest quality skin care and personal care products to Canada with an LP in our beautiful home city of Vancouver.”

And another Riveting Exclusive! Our thanks to Icelandic author Jón Kalman Stefánsson, his translator, Philip Roughton and publisher, Benedikt Publishing.
The Story of Ásta is told by a dying man, Sigvaldi. He and Helga, Ásta’s parents, chose her name – “love” in Icelandic – while she was still in the womb after they read Independent People by Halldór Laxness. Sigvaldi, a writer, has now fallen down a ladder and is lying on the pavement.
Sigvaldi’s life flows through his mind. His wife Helga, wild and poetic, ran away from a mundane life in Reykjavik, leaving their two daughters to the foster-care system. Ásta is their youngest.
This is a story about love, sensuality and sex. About the Icelandic countryside, poetry and the desire to know the world. About children, those kept by their parents and those raised by strangers. About life and death. And Ásta.
“Our father had a very good singing voice, and was a master at imitating people, certain species of birds, and sheep. Those three are my specialty, he used to say, and he could be quite humorous and fun when he managed, in his own peculiar way, to combine respectable characters from town life with whining seagulls or bleating sheep.”
But he wasn’t so fun when he was sucked into the black hole of drink. His binges usually lasted two or three weeks, and it seemed that no power, neither on earth nor in heaven, could stop him.
“We were fortunate, lucky, that he used to disappear from home on the third or fourth day. Maybe everyday life became too oppressive for him. The look in my mother’s eyes too disturbing. The presence of us kids too constrictive. And so, it was best just to disappear. Which is often the simplest escape route. He began – my mother used to say – to drink away his judgment. That was easiest. Then his reason, and then everything else he had: money, rings, tie, respect, coat, hat.”
And finally, the grocer’s itself.
Which had done well. Mainly, perhaps, because it was run almost entirely by their mother, who worked there along with her elder daughter. Although their father’s infectious cheerfulness and magnetism probably played its own part in attracting customers.
It took us two years, said their mother, to pay off enough on the store for it to stop being a burden and start providing more than just toil, worry, sleepless nights, but it only took you a fragment of a night to gamble it away, along with various other things of ours, of course. Or, things that were ours. You’re good at ventures; poor at gain.
I’m not worthy of being your husband or the father of our children, he said, miserable, broken down, tattered, after a binge of just over three weeks. “One of his worst binges – maybe the worst. He woke up three days ago down in Keflavík, between two sisters. They were all naked.”
Woke early in the morning. Couldn’t remember how he got there. Vaguely recalled a long journey from Reykjavík, remembered a night in Hafnarfjörður where he slept, together with his drinking pal, in a fragrant heap of netting beneath singing stars, a shifting moon – when they continued on their journey, they smelled like fish. His pal was mad-keen on getting out to Vatnsleysuströnd, where they spent the next night at a little farm. He remembered the sea there. How it seemed to fill existence. He’d never seen anything so big. But somewhere along the way they separated, the two pals, his trustiest drinking companion, a bookkeeper for one of the better merchants in Reykjavík. Yes, that’s right, he’d stayed behind in the little farm on the coast, said that he was so afraid of the sea that he didn’t dare go out the door. Knew the people there; spoke the entire way about the eldest daughter, who’d worked for the merchant the year before, but had quit and returned home when she became pregnant, and no one seemed to know who the father was. But how he got from that farm to a bed in Keflavík is lost in the fog of his memory. He didn’t remember having met the sisters, let alone having clambered naked into bed with them.
Except that when he woke, he felt like the Devil had used him as a broom to sweep the floor of Hell.
He opened his eyes, looked around, shut them again, said, and meant it, I want to die.
Not right away, said one of the sisters. Maybe tomorrow, but not today, not now. She slipped out of bed and grabbed the bottle of schnapps standing on a simple table next to an old sink. They were in a large garret. Morning light poured in through a skylight and over the woman, who stood unmoving at the table, as if lost in thought. He guessed that she couldn’t be much older than twenty-five, and there was something about her, her body, her long, dark hair, how it fell over her slim shoulders, the curve of her back, which made him think of music. And life returned to him with his first sip. I’m completely revitalised, he said. Can I see? said the woman who had grabbed the bottle, and then she disappeared beneath the blanket. The other woman took a sip from the bottle, watched his face change, and asked, as if she didn’t know a thing about life, is it good, what my sister is doing? Yes, he whispered, very … but you … you seem … sad … why …?
Maybe because it’s too far for happiness to get here to Keflavík.
I got here.
That might be what I meant, she said, before giving him an open-mouthed kiss.
“I’m not worthy of being your husband,” said our father, a good twenty-four hours later, having come home to the apartment that they’d lost. “I know,” said Mom, “I know.”
“But there’s terribly little we can do about that, except stand upright. Those who crawl can’t see the horizon.”

Bishop prevails in UWA Deathmatch chaosSeries of brutal matches rare for Canada
By NEIL SPRINGER - SLAM! Wrestling
BOLTON, Ont. -- What dangers would you expect to encounter in a Death Match?
At the UWA Hardcore Wrestling King of the Death Match (KoDM) tournament, competitors had to face weapons ranging from the dangerous -- razor-sharp barbed wire, shards of glass, piercing thumbtacks and scorching flames, to the downright silly -- a VCR, pineapple, toilet seat, ukulele and dildo.
The Mississauga, Ont.-based promotion returned to its old stomping grounds at the former UWA Arena in Bolton, Ont. for a night of seven violent tournament matches to the delight of its bloodthirsty fans.
After it was all said and done, Bishop was left standing with his hand raised in the air, beating promotion-pioneer Osiris in "No Rope Barbed Wire Scaffold Death Match." Bishop proclaimed that this was the end of hardcore wrestling in UWA.
Despite Bishop's promise, this may only be the beginning of death match tournaments for UWA.
The death match, as it is known today, started in Atsushi Onita's now-defunct Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling (FMW) in Japan. Founded in 1989, FMW quickly became known as "garbage wrestling," focusing mostly on violence.
In 1991, Onita faced Tarzan Goto in the first ever "Exploding Barbed Wire Cage Death Match." This historic bout is said to have launched the death match craze in Japan.
Soon after, a small promotion named IWA Japan began making noise by bringing in big foreign names like Terry Funk, Cactus Jack, Terry Gordy and Tiger Jeet Singh. In 1995 IWA held the first KoDM tournament at Kawasaki Baseball Stadium.
The show was a huge financial success for the company, though the bouts have not stood the test of time -- the most memorable of which was the semi-final match between Cactus Jack and Shoji Nakamaki where barbed-wire boards and beds of nails were the weapons of choice.
When it was all said and done, Cactus Jack won the tournament, beating Terry Funk in a lackluster "No Rope Barbed Wire, Exploding Barbed-wire boards, Exploding Ring Death Match."
After leaving ECW and founding IWA Mid-South, Ian Rotten promoted the first American KoDM tournament in 1997. He would go on to the event, beating Axl Rotten in the finals in a "No Rope Barbed Wire, Electrified Light Bulb Death Match."
Since then, promotions such as CZW, Big Japan and the now-defunct XPW have all held KoDM tournaments.
Death matches have continued to be promoted since in independent and backyard wrestling promotions. In December 2005, TNA promoted a "Barbed Wire Massacre Match" between Sabu and Abyss. This was the first live barbed wire match in pay-per-view history.
The heyday of the death match has long passed. In North America, it will probably never reach the levels of popularity it achieved in FMW in the '90s. But if UWA proved one thing with their tournament, it's that death matches are still alive and kicking, and have their devotees.
UWA 2007 King of the Death Match Tournament results and thoughts:
1. Quarterfinal: Osiris vs. Asylum in a "Four Corners of Pain Death Match."
Each corner of the ring contained a weapon -- a barbed-wire board, a nail board, a sheet of glass and a fan with the blades exposed. Both wrestlers are attached at the wrist with a strap. This was a decent choice for a KoDM tournament opener; it featured some pretty sick spots to get the crowd going. Asylum looked close to victory after powerbombing Osiris into the fan and dropping him head first into thumbtacks. Osiris managed to comeback and secure victory with a modified T-bone suplex off the tope rope through the sheet of glass.
2. Quarterfinal: Ruckus vs. Lionel Knight in a "Ladder Death Match"
Pretty fun and brutal ladder match here. It started out with a lot of flipping around before they busted out the ladders. At one point, Knight laid Ruckus on a ladder and went up for a swanton, but Ruckus moved. Ouch. Bishop ran in and tried to cost Ruckus the match, but to no avail. Ruckus won after pushing Knight off a ladder to the outside and he was unable to continue. Decent match, bad finish.
3. Quarterfinal: Bishop vs. Mickey Knight in a "Stairway to Hell Death Match"
Hanging above the ring was a spool of barbed wire and a boxing glove with thumbtacks and barbed wire stuck on it. The goal was to climb a ladder to retrieve either weapon. Not the best match here. Mickey managed to secure the glove and carve up Bishop's stomach like a thanksgiving turkey. When victory seemed to be within his grasp, his brother, Lionel, ran in and attacked him. The ending saw Bishop deliver a springboard double stomp on Mickey, who was sandwiched between both rungs of a ladder.
4. Quarterfinal: Blue Jabroni vs. Nick Watts in a "Fans Bring the Weapons Death Match"
Do you remember all the silly weapons mentioned earlier? The UWA fans are the ones to thank as they provided the weapons of mass destruction for this bout. This was a fun match, helped by all the wacky tools. Finish saw Jabroni deliver a Code Red off the ring apron, through a fluorescent-light-bulb-covered table.
Winner: Blue Jabroni
5. Non-tournament: Josh Prohibition (c) vs. Puma (UWA Canadian Title)
No barbed wire or glass here, just an old-fashioned wrestling match. Nothing too spectacular, but there were some nice exchanges. Prohibition retained his title with a double-underhook piledriver.
6. Semifinal: Black Jabroni vs. Osiris in a "Texas Death Match"
Definite match of the night honours deserved here. From bell to bell, this was just nuts. Osiris started out strong, using the numerous barbed-wire boards to his advantage and delivering a belly-to-back suplex on a cactus plant. Osiris then broke out the lighter fluid and began spraying it all over Jabroni's back. This isn't going to be pretty. He then filled his mouth with the fluid and, using a lighter, blew fire at Jabroni who instantly ignited! Jabroni started running around the ring in a panic, but Osiris caught him and delivered a Death Valley Driver through a barbed-wire board! Holy crap! Surprisingly that only got a two count.
Jabroni mounted a comeback and sandwiched Osiris between two barbed-wire boards. He then delivered a springboard legdrop onto Osiris, followed by a quebrada. Osiris fought back, delivering a vertebreaker into a barbed-wire board and then headed under the ring, only to emerge with a weed whacker. He whacked Jabroni in the stomach and then powerbombed him over the top rope, through a table covered in glass. Insane! That match should have been the main event.
7. Semifinal: Ruckus vs. Bishop in a "Capture the Flag Scaffold Match"
Two scaffolds are set up on opposite ends of the ring. They are connected by a pipe that hangs over the ring. There are three flags hanging on the pipe, the goal is to grab your opponents flag and the middle flag. This match was doomed from the get-go. For starters, they had to follow the last bout and to make matters worse the roof was way too low to jump off the scaffolds. They had to resort to just falling off. With the help of Lionel, Bishop managed to capture the two flags necessary to win. Not much here.
8. Final: Bishop vs. Osiris in a "No Rope Barbed Wire Scaffold Match"
This was solid death match and a good way to finish the show. They did some pretty sick stuff with the barbed-wire ropes, including a suplex spot that sent both men tumbling over to the outside. Bishop and Lionel double-teamed Osiris, including a powerbomb into the ropes and a double brainbuster through a sheet of glass. Osiris managed a comeback, even powerbombing Bishop through a flaming glass table, but in the end the numbers game was too much. Bishop won with a legdrop off the scaffold through a table.
Winner and King of the Death Match: Bishop
Pretty fun show and worth checking out the DVD (when it's released) just for the "Texas Death Match."

Christine's ApronI forgot to take a picture of the finished apron -- after all, it's just an apron. Christine is a city girl, wears black, so I wanted something "her" (even though my son was the one who requested the rolling pin!). The apron pattern is great -- fully adjustable without hardware (buckles etc.), so anyone can wear it. Still, dessert is what it's all about, right? Hence the apron fabric:
On to the Barrister's Blocks:
More tiny half-square triangles (1" finished). I'd actually started this in Florida, but I'd cut the pieces wrong and had to start over again when I got home. Great way to use scraps of fabric that you don't really like -- they're too small to see anyway!
Domino NetA really easy block! Strip-piece the nine-patches to make it even easier. It takes longer to cut out than it does to sew. Gotta love that!
Today was the last class in the current Simple Sampler class at Pieceful Quilting. During Show-an-Tell, several people asked to see the Barrister's Blocks that I had with me. It was fun to finally share the work-to-date. The blocks look much better when they are held up at the front of a classroom, instead of peering at them from a few inches away! I'm really motivated to finish the blocks and sew them into a quilt!

in vitro phosphorylation of recombinant proteins
Lee et al. reported a non-radioactive version of in vitro phosphorylation were γ-[2-Azidoethyl]-ATP (compound 8) has been successfully used instead of γ-32P-modified ATP to phosphorylate GST-tagged recombinant p27kip1 with protein kinase cdk2.
The phosphorylated, azide-modified protein substrate can subsequently be labeled with Alkynes of biotin or fluorescent dyes via Cu(I)- catalyzed Click-Chemistry or DBCO-containing biotin or fluorescent dyes via Cu(I)-free Click-Chemistry.
Presolski et al. and Hong et al. provide a general protocol for Cu(I)-catalyzed click chemistry reactions that may be used as a starting point for the set up and optimization of individual assays.

today..I was widowed after living in a very difficult relationship for 25 years. I lived in a prison that I did not deserve..with an addict who never tasted the freedom that God wanted to give him. I thought my life was over when this happened..I thought I was too old to start over. I could not see a future for myself..God had a different plan.
My life now is unbelievable..I have an amazing husband , wonderful grandchildren, a beautiful place to live, lots of free time for the things I love. God has been so good to me. He has given me more than I could ever ask for or even dream about. He continues to surprise me. He has replaced my small sad story by placing me in His larger story..a great adventure..the abundant life that I was longing for.
Now..this does not mean there are no problems..or that my life is a bowl of cherries. There are struggles and challenges..loss and disappointment. The good and the hard..they go hand in hand. He is the redeemer and the one who takes all of it and uses it for good. His plan is perfect and He is to be trusted.
I am celebrating His goodness today..recognizing His faithfulness and encouraging you to do the same. Take a little time to stand back from your life..look for the thin places where His goodness breaks through and your are overwhelmed by His love.

A marvellous new idea, which will surely ensure a massive shift to cycling in Scotland:
A ROAD tax on cyclists is being considered by Scottish Government civil servants. The prospect of cyclists paying a charge, like motorists, to use roads comes in a document outlining the Scottish Government's vision for cycling.
The draft Cycling Action Plan for Scotland (CAPS), which has been released for public consultation, aims to ensure that, by 2020, 10 per cent of all journeys in Scotland are by bike.
Ian Aiken, chief executive of the government-backed Cycling Scotland and a member of the CAPS board that produced the paper, said: ""Cycling Scotland's view is cyclists should not be taxed, but it is important to ask the question." | <urn:uuid:ffdc120c-3e6c-403a-b2b8-0123cbc5493d> | CC-MAIN-2017-34 | http://crapwalthamforest.blogspot.com/2009/09/tax-scottish-cyclists.html | 2017-08-23T15:30:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-34/segments/1502886120573.75/warc/CC-MAIN-20170823152006-20170823172006-00445.warc.gz | en | 0.957778 | 153 |

The space between your seat and center console is just big enough to lose your most important items – money and coins, chapstick, pens, small papers, even your cell phone. When these items fall, it could be dangerous to try to fish them out while you are driving. With the Seat Barricade, you can stop those small items from disappearing. The Seat Barricade is a small cushion that slides between your front seat and center console to fill the gap. A small strap fits over the seatbelt receptacle to ensure the Seat Barricade is securely in place. You’ll practice safer driving habits since you can focus on the road and not the item that you now have to search for. The cushion is poly-filled with a vinyl cover for no-hassle cleaning. The Seat Barricade comes as a set so you’ll have one for both the driver and passenger sides. | <urn:uuid:e076451e-92de-429c-a4d6-b83a95fb1947> | CC-MAIN-2014-35 | http://blog.smarthome.com/2012/01/04/ | 2014-08-30T04:27:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-35/segments/1408500834258.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20140820021354-00262-ip-10-180-136-8.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.912874 | 979 |
Sometimes you have to create a new monster
All story ideas begin somewhere. Mine usually begin with a character in an unusual setting. The idea for my young adult novel, Fathom, was born from a single scene: A mother telling stories to her two young daughters, all three of them nestled in a tree house. The whole story unfolded from that one scene idea, although in the end, I removed that scene from the book.
The mother was telling her daughters myths and legends from their homeland, Ireland.
The concept of myth played a strong part in this novel. In the process, I did a lot of research—especially when it came time to create the monster. Somewhere along the way, I came across the legend of a lake in Canada, where the local people believe that if you take anything from the lake, the lake will come after you and kill you. Unfortunately, I later lost all my notes and couldn’t find any mention of this lake or the legend in any of my reference books or online.
At that point, I had to do what writers have done for thousands of years.
I just made stuff up.
In a way, losing my notes was the best thing that could have happened. I was then free to create my own legends and my own mythical beast. With each chapter, my monster—which lives in the ocean, but can also come on land for short periods of time—became more wicked and more dangerous. I was able to give this beast a mysterious back story and a nefarious purpose. As creepy as this thing was, it fit perfectly into the well-knit weave of Fathom’s mythology, just like a natural predator who serves a purpose by maintaining the balance of nature.
The monster became the dark note in the book’s score, but there are light notes as well. One of the main themes is that of coming of age. The main character, sixteen-year-old Kira Callahan, leaves childhood behind as she gains the courage to stand up to the bullies at school, and as she begins to fall in love for the first time. The mysteries of her past slowly unfold throughout the book as she discovers that her past isn’t what she thought it was.
At its heart, Fathom is book about courage and love and hope—and never giving up, no matter how fierce the monsters in your life are. | <urn:uuid:d5828e1a-d868-45df-be21-a91d838524c5> | CC-MAIN-2017-13 | http://merriedestefano.weebly.com/sometimes-you-have-to-create-a-new-monster.html | 2017-03-31T00:25:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-13/segments/1490218205046.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20170322213005-00373-ip-10-233-31-227.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.978472 | 491 |
Kyl has served as Arizona's junior Senator since 1995, and is presently the second highest-ranking Republican in that chamber. Last year, he was named by Time Magazine as one of the 25 leaders in the world with most influence.
He discussed his decision with also-retiring Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT), and Kyl sees the possibility of a sort of caucus of retiring Senators (5 have announced so far) that might be able to get things moving on issues such as entitlement reform, in a way that politically-active Senators might not be able to do.

Request for a Novak Djokovic forum:
On behalf of the Novak Djokovic thread, currently housed in the "Rest of the World" section, we would like to make a formal request for our own player forum for Novak.
Ever since his recent success both at Wimbledon and the US Open, we have gotten a lot of new people coming in and wanting info on Novak and it is starting to get hard to provide everything that people need in one thread without pictures, chat or news getting lost in the fray.
In addition, there are currently more posts in our thread than in the following forums:
Jan Michael Gambill
Romania Tennis Chat
If all those players have forums, we believe Novak should have his own as well.
Novak is a very talented up and comer and there are going to be ever increasing numbers of fans who want to discuss his talent and his future as well as his results.
So for these reasons, we think Novak is worthy of his own forum. Thanks.

Investigations after fire destroys 80-year-old's home
EMERGENCY services are investigating the cause of a fire that destroyed the home of an 80-year-old woman at the weekend.
Fire and Rescue and Rural Fire Service crews rushed to Summerland Way at The Risk about 2.45am on Saturday.
The sound of cracking glass awoke the home owner, who walked outside to find the corner of her home was alight before she called authorities.
Crime scene and RFS fire investigators scoured the property on Saturday in an attempt to piece together how the fire started.
Enquiries are continuing. | <urn:uuid:8f77ce25-dc9f-4a9a-a7d6-26f856df1ea7> | CC-MAIN-2018-09 | https://www.northernstar.com.au/news/investigations-under-way-after-fire-destroys-80-ye/3252208/ | 2018-02-20T19:37:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-09/segments/1518891813088.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20180220185145-20180220205145-00341.warc.gz | en | 0.951498 | 127 |

Jess here: As you may already know February is pet dental month, and while it seems that every month has its issue, this one is actually quite important. With periodontal disease being the most common clinical condition occurring in adult dogs and cats it is estimated that by the age of three 4 out of 5 pets have some evidence of periodontal disease. To give you some background, periodontal disease includes gingivitis (inflammation of the gums) and periodontitis (loss of bone and soft tissue around the teeth). If that isn’t bad enough, bacteria from the mouth can enter the bloodstream and be carried around the body. In fact, periodontal disease has been associated with damage to the heart, liver, and kidneys as pets age. Unfortunately, most pet owners are unaware of the state of their pet’s dental health and brush off one of the only early signs (bad breath) as “doggie breath”.
With that being said I want to introduce you to someone. This is Mini. Mini has bad breath, or to be more specific, he had bad breath.
I know just as well as you all do that bad breath is often just the tip of the iceberg, so I wanted to address the problem before it got out of hand. Professional cleanings are not only pricy, but can be dangerous as well. So I set out to find a product that fit my small list of demands: natural and easy to use. I have tried brushing in the past and although the boys are pretty cooperative (as far as cats go) I didn’t really have the time to do it as much as I should. With that being said, I’m often sceptical of products that seem just a bit too easy, and when I came across PetzLife that’s exactly how I felt, sceptical. From the moment I opened the PetzLife oral gel in the salmon flavour I was sure it wouldn’t help Mini’s breath. Especially since it smells like a fishy breath mint, not very promising! As I would soon find out I wasn’t the only one who disliked the smell. The look on their faces when I put it in their mouth was priceless! I have a lot of people ask me, “Will my dog/cat like the taste?” To be honest, probably not. That’s not the point though is it? My cats don’t always know what’s best for them; I mean just last week they ate through tinfoil to lick chicken grease… I don’t do it because they will like it; I do it because it’s important for their health. Sure they ran off at first, but after five minutes they were back in my lap purring. No harm, no foul.
Ultimately their temporary anger was definitely worth it because I saw a change in Mini’s breath in only two days! For that reason I would say that PetzLife has turned a sceptic into a believer! I absolutely recommend this product; PetzLife comes in a spray or a gel and requires no brushing. It is an all-natural solution that breaks down plaque and tartar, works under the gum line to help heal gum tissue, and kills the bacteria that cause bad breath.
In the end just remember: good dental health is important for our pets. I can’t imagine any of you would go too long without brushing your teeth and our pets need the same care. It’s unfortunate that periodontal disease is so prevalent considering it is such a preventable problem. Granted, some breeds are more prone to dental problems, but they just need that much more attention! It’s important to start the routine of dental care early, but it’s never too late! Regular brushing, sprays or gels, combined with a species appropriate diet and regular chewing can spare your pet pain and discomfort while helping you avoid unnecessary vet bills.
I mean come on, look at those pearly whites! | <urn:uuid:8f359a6e-9d40-4d1e-b44e-3c2ce12941b9> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://shop.baileyblu.com/en/blogs/the-bailey-blu-blog/from-the-archives-mini-vs-halitosis/ | 2019-07-21T19:59:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195527196.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20190721185027-20190721211027-00175.warc.gz | en | 0.972213 | 841 |

This is Brian Burke about 35 years ago. It was very likely around this time that someone last used "Brian Burke" and "likeable" in the same sentence. This weekend we'll see the great man in action.
Brian Burke has to hit a home run this weekend. His signature moves so far in Toronto (Kessel offer sheet disguised as a trade; Phaneuf deal, Kadri selection, Gustavsson signing) offer a mixed bag result (Seguin alone would mean a tremendous amount to a rebuild) and there is pressure to improve immediately. It has always been thus in the Big Smoke.
What does he have in Kaberle? A well priced veteran ($4.25M cap hit) one year from free agency. He is perhaps slipping a little but remains an outstanding talent and should cover the bet (his cap hit) and could certainly help a very good team win the Stanley. San Jose? Maybe. Los Angeles? Possibly. Fact is, most NHL teams could use Kaberle but the one year lease on his services makes him a less attractive option for many teams.
Toronto fans have been fed a steady diet of crazy from their media (Dustin Brown, David Backes, David Krejci) in terms of possible return for one season of the puck moving defender. This probably means massive disappointment if/when the trade does come down, but for me the key element will be a top 6 forward coming back this weekend.
Why? The Leafs top 6 (I believe it to be Kris Versteeg, Nikolai Kulemin, Mikhail Grabovski, Tyler Bozak, Phil Kessel and Colby Armstrong) has some talent but isn't much above expansion quality. Burke is under some pressure to make sure that 1st rd pick dealt to Boston for 2011 (another Kessel bullet) isn't a lottery pick again, so acquiring an NHL veteran who can play with (say) Kessel and Kulemin is very important.
If he can't do it this weekend, there are other options. Trading away more draft picks, maybe dealing Kadri (extremely unlikely) or Luke Schenn (possible) or maybe picking up a mid-level free agent like Lee Stempniak or Patrick O'Sullivan. Brian Burke isn't stupid, I expect he'll get his top 6 forward this weekend.
One final note: there have been some rumors out there on the Al Gore that Edmonton is involved in the trade talks. I don't think it makes much sense, unless the team has a chance to sign Kaberle long term. Without a multi-year contract, trading any assets for a rental runs counter to logic and reason. | <urn:uuid:6e7f5ff4-a2bb-4217-95f8-f002397e0582> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://oilersnation.com/2010/8/14/he-came-from-providence-the-one-in-rhode-island/score | 2013-05-22T09:14:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368701543416/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516105223-00003-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.955449 | 559 |

Sending a message to a process is a one-liner in Erlang - is that easier than
setting up a socket in C/C++?
Concurrency in C/C++ to many people implies pthreads - is that simpler than
The list goes on and on. All the arguments mentioned are hogwash. As I see it
the biggest problem is that nobody has published a book entitled, "Erlang for
Fortunately there are plenty other languages (and idiots guides to them) for
those who insist on resisting Erlang.
P.S. Someone should write a book entitled, "Concurrent Programming In
Non-concurrent Languages For Dummies" - good be a best seller.

The Portal is now open! A four-storey retail building worth 600 million Baht is ready to serve show goers and delegates. The futuristic building serves as welcome gate to all those visiting IMPACT Exhibition and Convention Centre and IMPACT Arena. This brand new lifestyle complex signals the proliferation of new concept malls around Bangkok and within the micro city that is Muang Thong Thani. Along with BEEHIVE Lifestyle Mall, the new complex is a valuable addition to IMPACT’s diverse food and beverage universe.
The Portal is a striking building which draws inspiration from the movements of undercurrents. The building spans over 8,000 square meters of retail stores, restaurants, food court, and brand-name outlets. The complex is already a popular meeting spot for delegates attending events, locals and professionals working in the area. The impressive structure also serves a connecting building between IMPACT Challenger Halls and IMPACT Exhibition Hall. All three buildings connect by link bridges thus facilitating access to the general public.
The Portal houses The Ballroom on the fourth floor. This medium-size ballroom offers a spacious and elegant venue for midscale events and functions. The hall is stunning with a modern décor of grey carpet and gold ceiling, complete with chandeliers. The room covers 1,500 square meters of multi-purpose space with a flexible capacity of 500 up to 1,000 guests at the time. Aside from a magnificent ballroom, the complex boasts many dining options. After You Dessert Café is the biggest buzz for those visiting the new complex. This café specializes in Japanese-style shibuya toast desserts; once you try it, their tagline “there’s always room for dessert” is unquestionably true. Next to After You is the ever popular Burger King and Pizza Company. The second floor is more Asian oriented with such outlets Tsubohachi Express, Hong Kong Suki and Isan@Arena. .
The Portal is open daily from 10 am to 8 pm. On special event days, some outlets will operate until midnight. Just ask our concierge for directions. | <urn:uuid:2e3b366c-236b-46da-8c2b-2602bac77ad6> | CC-MAIN-2020-50 | https://novotelbangkokimpact.com/bangkok-destination/bangkok-shopping-guide/the-portal/ | 2020-11-25T10:11:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-50/segments/1606141182776.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20201125100409-20201125130409-00132.warc.gz | en | 0.927786 | 430 |
Beyoncé has dropped out of A Star is Born.
She will no longer star in the Clint Eastwood-directed remake of the 1937 original movie, reports Variety.
While no official word has been released, sources have said that Beyoncé had to depart the project over scheduling difficulties.
Eastwood is said to be interested in Grammy award-winning jazz musician Esperanza Spalding taking on the role last played by Barbara Streisand in 1976.
The film is also lacking a male lead, with Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Cruise, Christian Bale, Johnny Depp and Bradley Cooper all reported to have been approached to play the fading star who falls for a promising young performer.
George Cukor's 1954 version of the film, which starred Judy Garland and James Mason, is probably the best known of the three previous versions.
Warner Bros is yet to announce a start date for shooting on A Star is Born. | <urn:uuid:b44ce18a-b801-485b-9686-2bc944fcb7c9> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.digitalspy.com/movies/news/a429499/beyonc-drops-out-of-clint-eastwoods-a-star-is-born/ | 2016-10-28T20:11:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988725470.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183845-00534-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.958644 | 194 |

Renewed and Refreshed!
While I fully intended to blog at least once during our visit to the States, I never seemed to find the time! We are back in Guatemala after a whirlwind trip of 1500 miles and travel to 3 states in 2 weeks. We saw both daughters and their respective husbands, Johnny's sisters, aunt, uncle and a couple of cousins, my mom, brother-in-law and nephews and a host of friends in Decatur. Traveling to Nashville, TN, gave us cool weather and beautiful color in the trees, something we have really missed. Travel to Tallahassee, FL, prepared us for our return here with gorgeous sunny days in the high 70's. I enjoyed playing the piano during the services at First Bible Church one Lord's Day, although I didn't get to visit folks as much as I would have wished. And, praise of praises, our house finally sold and we were able to attend the closing! This was a bittersweet time, in that we loved the house we raised our girls in, now no longer a "safety net" to fall back on, but we don't have the expense of a house we aren't living in. God's timing is great!
The rest of today will be a "rest day". Tomorrow and Thursday are holidays, but we will have to be hard at work preparing for the workteam that arrives the 11th. And we are looking at moving once again at the end of the month, so we prepare for that also. Pray that the Camp house will be ready for us to move into! | <urn:uuid:a5acfda7-837d-4a66-ae73-f6331928b013> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://the-cokers.blogspot.com/2006/10/renewed-and-refreshed.html | 2017-10-22T17:24:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187825399.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20171022165927-20171022185927-00425.warc.gz | en | 0.977483 | 333 |

Could you please help me clarify the following.
As I know, the distributed intelligence feature in VCS distributes the following configurations
on whole fabric.
1. port pofiles and thier MAC associations created in a rbridge
2. VM MAC addresses learned by a rbridge
Then what about VLANs. Are VLANs also created on whole fabric, when
we create them in a single rbridge? or do we have to create them in each rbbridge on
07-12-2012 08:28 PM
with the current version of NOS there are two ways to implement Port-profiles (often referred to as Automatic Migration of Port-profiles, AMPP):
1. Manual configuration/definition in VCS
2. Automatic import of VLAN membership in a Port Group configuration from a VMware vCenter virtual Standard Switch (vSS) or virtual Distributed Switch (vDS)
The detailed explanation is as follows:
1. When you manually create Port-profiles in VCS you must (with the current NOS release) create the profiles on all switches in the fabric where you will use Port-profiles -as well as any VLANs defined in the Port-profiles.
The easiest way to do this on multiple switches in your VCS ..or even across multiple VCSs is to use Brocade Network Advisor (BNA) to ensure uniform and 'single click' deployment across VDXs in one or more Ethernet fabrics.
(In coming releases you will be able to configure the VCS completely as one virtual switch across all nodes when you enable the optional mode: Virtual Chassis Management ...we can talk more about that when it's released).
2. When Port-profiles are imported directly from vCenter (this is done by registering vCenter in VCS) -and previously non-existent VLANs are defined as a membership in a Port Group configuration in a vSS or vDS this results in these VLANs to be automatically created across all nodes in the VCS.
I hope this helps answering your question
07-12-2012 09:56 PM
Thanks for the reply.
I wanted to know about the manual configuration of VCS.
So according to your explanation, we have to configure each switch(rbridge) for
port profiles, their MAC associations and also to create VLANs.
OK. Any guess for the release schedule of "Virtual Chassis Management"
function? When this function is supported, how the MIB is organized?
Only one MIB for whole VCS?, so that we can see it as an actual single switch.
Is there any relation between this function and Virtual IP of VCS?
As I know, the virtual ip feature provides consistent login capability to the
principal switch of VCS. That is, even if the principal switch goes down,
we can log in to VCS without changing the IP address. But, the configuration
done after log in through virtual ip is valid only for the principal switch.
Is that correct?
One more thing, is AMPP supported in standalone mode of VDX?
Hope it should work in standalone mode too.
07-24-2012 01:12 PM
Yes, when configuring the port-profiles manually you must apply this configuration –and any new VLANs defined- on each switch in the VCS where this port-profile is required. (AMPP is only supported in VCS mode.) (AMPP from vCenter is only supported in VCS mode)
FYI, with Brocade Network Advisor it is very easy to apply a port-profile across all switches in a VCS (or across multiple VCSs) with only a few clicks. The same can be done for VLAN configuration with the CLI script function.
Virtual Chassis Management (which is separate from the currently supported virtual IP feature) is scheduled for next year, and each switch will probably still have its own MIB.
When using the VCS virtual IP feature this provides you with a single IP address to connect to the VCS at any time, as you stated the principal RBridge in the VCS will service the virtual IP.
When logged in through the virtual IP the config privileges are not any different from logging in directly to the management IP of the principal switch itself, the VCS virtual IP is merely to provide a consistent access method, and with for example the show vcs command all RBridges in the fabric are listed including their management IPs.
07-24-2012 10:50 PM
Thanks for the reply.
According to your explanation , AMPP is only supported in VCS mode. But as I know, port profiles are supported
(i.e. we can create, activate and associate pp with mac) in standalone mode too. So what there port profiles
are used for in standalone mode if AMPP is not supported.
OK. When Virtual Chassis Management is supported, there will be one MIB for whole VCS and also each switch will have
its own MIB. Is that correct?
07-27-2012 12:02 PM
my mistake ..I meant to say that automatic port-profile creation based on vCenter integration is only supported in VCS mode.
(I corrected the reply above).
With Virtual Chassis Management it's still in the works -I would set the expectation that in the first release each switch will have it's own MIB and in a subsequent release a MIB for the VCS.
07-30-2012 05:30 PM
Thanks for the reply.
I later found the following in vcs technical architecture document.
"VM-aware network automation is supported on all the Brocade VDX platforms and can be configured in both
VCS and standalone mode"
According to the above document, it seems vCenter integration can be done in both VCS and standalone modes. | <urn:uuid:cdc2fb19-ef59-4a86-a8a2-68ff7bda6579> | CC-MAIN-2018-17 | https://community.brocade.com/t5/Ethernet-Fabric-VDX-CNA/VCS-Distributed-Intelligence/td-p/28590 | 2018-04-21T03:58:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-17/segments/1524125944982.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20180421032230-20180421052230-00096.warc.gz | en | 0.896641 | 1,239 |
A hacker has reportedly obtained nude photos of a slew of female celebrities, including actor Jennifer Lawrence.
The anonymous source has 60 images of the 24-year-old star of The Hunger Games in various states of undress and has posted them on an online bulletin board, website The Hollywood Gossip reports.
The photos of Lawrence, some of which are topless, have since appeared on photo sharing site Imgur.
Sports Illustrated favourite Kate Upton and Australian actress Teresa Palmer have also been targeted.
Representatives for both Upton and Lawrence have confirmed the legitimacy of the photos.
"The authorities have been contacted and will prosecute anyone who posts the stolen photos of Jennifer Lawrence," her spokesperson said.
Upton's publicist also told website BuzzFeed they were "looking into this".
Actress Mary Winstead has also confirmed images of her have been stolen and leaked. However, she said on Twitter that she deleted the images now going viral some time ago.
"Knowing those photos were deleted long ago, I can only imagine the creepy effort that went into this. Feeling for everyone who got hacked," she said.
"You know what's better then leaked nudes? Earning the trust and respect of another human to the point that they share their body with you."
A master list supposedly containing the names of all the hacked celebrities has also been doing the rounds online, and includes Upton, Friday Night Lights star Amber Heard and Nickelodeon actress and singer Victoria Justice.
To those of you looking at photos I took with my husband years ago in the privacy of our home, hope you feel great about yourselves. — Mary E. Winstead (@M_E_Winstead) August 31, 2014
According to BuzzFeed, the hacker accessed the photos thanks to an iCloud leak that allowed the celebrities' phones to be hacked.
Victoria Justice was quick to jump on Twitter and hose down the rumours.
"These so called nudes of me are FAKE people. Let me nip this in the bud right now. *pun intended*," Justice tweeted.
Other celebrities affected have yet to comment, and for now the rest of the photos are unverified.
Reports in the US suggest the phones and computers of celebrities were hacked over the weekend as a form of extortion as the photos are available for sale in exchange for Bitcoins.
Authorities have been cracking down on hacking and phone tapping, especially in Hollywood. A man in Florida was arrested recently after he released nude images of Scarlett Johansson and Mila Kunis after hacking a number of celebrity email accounts for more than a year.
Gossip blogger Perez Hilton published the uncensored images of Lawrence and Price but has since deleted them. He has even deleted the censored versions with which he replaced them.
"I acted in haste just to get the post up and didn't really think things through. I'm sorry," he said.
"Upon further reflection and just sitting with my actions, I don't feel comfortable even keeping the censored photos up. I am removing them."
At work we often have to make quick decisions. I made a really bad one today and then made it worse. I feel awful and am truly sorry. — Perez Hilton (@PerezHilton) August 31, 2014

Mail buy brides may be the term used for individuals that leave the country of origin in order to find another person to marry them. This can be for that variety of reasons ranging from immigration to marital relationship purposes. You will find a number of websites and online classifieds where people advertise the willingness to become mail order brides. Some of these providers operate seeing that genuine companies, while others are scams that have no view for women’s rights.
Ship order birdes-to-be are also referred to as mail order brides’ marriages. This kind of service caters to the varied needs of both men and women. Solitary women coming from various countries seek companions to tie the knot, when other single women are only interested in marriage to a gentleman who comes from their region. So far, these types of marriages have been very powerful in featuring both spouses with the secure knowledge that themselves will be safe in their home country. While there are certain negatives associated with this sort of marriage, especially for the women, it is necessary to keep in mind that men too face similar problems in acquiring stable life partner in their region.
There are several issues that need to be taken care of while working with mail-order brides. First of all, the other brides have to make sure that she has a passport or perhaps green card which allows her to go to her proposed life partner. There are several unscrupulous postal mail order birdes-to-be who create as legitimate foreign females looking to get betrothed to western males. They use falsified documents and photographs to make that look like the other brides sourced from western countries.
It is a good option to carry out a lot of research relating to the internet for more information about the legitimacy of mail buy brides’ solutions. Many scams companies get their websites on the internet that will help you know regarding the safety of this service. Read the consumer reviews and testimonials to know more about the type of service given by the mail buy brides’ recruitment agencies. You ought to know of the requirements of the possible husband and you should check if the company has a skilled and experienced group of attorneys. The lawyers should have the knowledge and knowledge to deal with the legal issues that arise throughout the marriage.
A lot of the times, the process of selecting the right person will not be easy. There are many facts to consider like the their age, religion, education and degree. Once the recruiters have confirmed these things about the possible husbands, they will start the interviewing process. During this stage, the questions that are asked are personal in characteristics and the employers try to find out the actual identity of this person concerned. In fact , the majority of the times, your mailbox order brides’ recruiters make an effort to meet the prospective husbands by distant places and travel bills are borne by the family of the woman. This is one of the disadvantages of mail-order dominican women marriages.
Although there are different Southeast Parts of asia like Thailand, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia that have low divorce rate so it is simple for the women to get married. In fact , a large number of Southeast Asian countries contain a booming tourism market and the population in the single women is elevating day by day. The majority of the single females here inhabit bachelor or perhaps sub-family composition and so they are looking for good and suitable jobs for their long term future. In fact , a few of them are interested in online business and some of them are very dedicated to join national politics.

The Tesco Plc Company mainly operates by providing customers with food as well as non food items. The food items which form a significant percentage of the product offering are perishable and contribute large to the high levels of waste being produced by the company. In order to contain the issue of waste management, the company has been actively creating policies for recycling and waste management.
The company has a recycling program for waste management which includes its own dedicated recycling units. “Tesco, which has a 30% share of the UK grocery market, believes its action could deliver 10% of the required increase in packaging recovery needed to meet European targets set by the Packaging Directive for 2008.” (‘Tesco makes recycling pledge as profits hit record levels’, 2006)
The company has a formed a separate unit to manage waste management and recycling operations for the company. A portion of the budget is dedicated to the waste management unit which is determined by the strategic management of Tesco Plc. The budget is allocated for repairs and maintenance of the equipment as well as investing in new projects for waste management and recycling. | <urn:uuid:0cbd6c25-bfc1-4a43-8605-640f73a6438a> | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | http://www.customessaylive.com/essay-operations-of-tesco-plc/ | 2023-12-06T07:12:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100583.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20231206063543-20231206093543-00464.warc.gz | en | 0.974045 | 225 |
Back when Angry Birds was taking the world by storm throughout 2010 and beyond, there was a small but very vocal contingent of gamers who were always quick to point out that “Crush the Castle did it first!” And they were right. The original Flash version of Crush the Castle from Armor Games released in the spring of 2009, and even the iPhone version beat Angry Birds to the punch by a few months when it launched in September of that same year. While Angry Birds went on to become a mega empire, we always had a soft spot for Crush the Castle in our hearts, so it made us very happy to see the series making a return when Crush the Castle: Siege Master was announced last week. Here’s what it looks like.
As you can see, Crush the Castle: Siege Master brings a pretty major upgrade in the visuals department but the tried and true trebuchet-slinging gameplay remains. Following its announcement last week Armor Games is now ready to drop a release date for the game, and it’ll be arriving next week on October 18th. And while Crush the Castle: Siege Master is a free game, if you want to get ahead of the curve and have the game just automatically download to your device when it releases then you can head over to the App Store and pre-order it right now. I’ll definitely be looking forward to crushing many castles come this time next week. | <urn:uuid:1b0afb0d-3874-42a0-8078-4bee029b1daa> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | http://itechblog.co/crush-the-castle-siege-master-is-launching-next-thursday-and-you-can-pre-order-it-right-now/ | 2019-11-18T17:30:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496669809.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20191118154801-20191118182801-00385.warc.gz | en | 0.975936 | 292 |

- Course: PhD in Transport Studies
- PhD title: Accessibility Planning: a chimera?
- Year of graduation: 2007
- Nationality: Swedish
- Job title: CEO
- Company: TUB Trafikutredningsbyrån AB
I am CEO of an urban development and transport consultancy firm in Stockholm, Sweden. It is a small company which means that I project manage contracts as well as dealing with time sheets and business development. The company is highly specialised, so I talk to and collaborate with many skilled people in our field on a day to day basis.
I believe that the skill set that I gained from my PhD work at ITS is fundamental to the work I do. Without it, I don't think I would have had the confidence, nor the ability, or patience to set up a successful independent business.
There were a number of factors that contributed towards my choice of Leeds. However, the most important thing for me was probably the solid reputation of ITS and its size, meaning that ITS covers a wide range of the important issues in order to understand urban transport and how to deal with it in an intelligent way. The interest in my research ideas from my supervisor was also very important.
My advice to new students is that the selection of a PhD topic is an important issue. Don’t hesitate to ask practitioners as well as professors for ideas about significant and manageable research questions.
I cannot really remember taking part in the employer visits arranged by ITS. Probably I did, and I do remember that it was and is great that ITS has such close interactions with transport planning employers (I say that now from being an employer). I later went to a small number of company presentations and workshops at the end of my studies. I found it very useful to see what larger market-leading companies in other fields were looking for in terms of staff skills and how they presented themselves.
One of my career highlights so far is that I have coordinated a number of rather large research and development contracts within parking policy, urban development and planning for cycling. In terms of the number of staff and external organisations involved, these projects have given me important experience. However, I think the highlight of my career is every time a client comes back to me with a new piece of work because they are happy with the work I previously did for them. | <urn:uuid:b10bdfe8-df4c-499f-9e8d-cdf538471ff9> | CC-MAIN-2022-21 | https://environment.leeds.ac.uk/transport/dir-record/student-alumni-profiles/537/pelle-envall | 2022-05-16T22:08:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-21/segments/1652662512249.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20220516204516-20220516234516-00604.warc.gz | en | 0.981072 | 485 |
Union J Star Named Essex Hospice Patron
Jaymi Hensley from boy band Union J has become a patron for an Essex children's hospice after making an emotional visit earlier this year.
Jaymi, 24, visited Little Havens Hospice in August as part of a volunteering day with Now magazine, alongside band mates George Shelley and JJ Hamblett.
The group, who rose to fame on the X Factor two years ago, helped to create a new garden at the hospice grounds in Thundersley.
Following their visit Jaymi, who saw a friend experience hospice care as a teenager, wanted to continue supporting the charity.
When Jaymi was at drama school aged 14, a friend was diagnosed with a life-limiting condition and spent time in a hospice before he died at 16.
Jaymi said: "When we were on the X Factor tour the other boys went to a hospice but I said I don't want to go - it was still too raw.
"When we came to Little Havens in the summer I was still apprehensive, I didn't want it to bring back bad memories but when we arrived everyone was so happy and the kids were so friendly and smiling, there was no sadness, and I realised what a special place it was and I wanted to help out."
Jaymi made his first visit to the hospice in his role as patron this week.
He said: "I had a lovely time. It was amazing to come back and meet some more families - as much as they're ill they are still smiling and the parents are so strong.
"Getting to come and experience what people are going through, what their stories are, helping if they need to talk and just being here to do normal stuff with the families, that's what it's about."
Little Havens is part of Havens Hospices which also incorporates Fair Havens Hospice for adults in Westcliff.
Little Havens play specialist Jane Harwood said: "The children and families absolutely loved meeting Jaymi and his band members when they visited in the summer so to have Jaymi on board as a patron and continued supporter of Little Havens is fantastic.
"Visits like this are such a special treat for the children and their families and help to continue making every day count." | <urn:uuid:2f43a2ee-845d-4d25-bba2-bae05f6b325f> | CC-MAIN-2018-39 | https://www.heart.co.uk/essex/news/local/union-j-star-named-essex-hospice-patron/ | 2018-09-22T03:08:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-39/segments/1537267158011.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20180922024918-20180922045318-00427.warc.gz | en | 0.989379 | 476 |

Members of Burkina Faso’s army have seized control of state television, declaring that they had ousted military leader Paul-Henri Damiba, dissolved the government and suspended the constitution and transitional charter.
In a statement read on national television late on Friday, Captain Ibrahim Traore said a group of officers had decided to remove Damiba due to his inability to deal with a worsening Islamist insurgency. He announced that borders were closed indefinitely and that all political and civil society activities were suspended.
It is the second takeover in eight months for the west African state. Damiba took power in a coup in January that ousted democratically elected president Roch Marc Kaboré.
Damiba and his allies promised to make the country more secure, but violence has continued unabated and frustration with his leadership has grown in recent months.
The statement came after a day of uncertainty, with gunfire ringing out in the capital, Ouagadougou.
“In the face of the continuing deterioration of the security situation, we have repeatedly tried to refocus the transition on security issues,” said the statement read aloud on Friday evening by the soldiers. The soldiers promised the international community they would respect their commitments and urged Burkinabes “to go about their business in peace.”
Amid growing uncertainties, the UN voiced concern and appealed for calm.
“Burkina Faso needs peace, it needs stability, and it needs unity in order to fight terrorist groups and criminal networks operating in parts of the country,” UN spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric said.
On the streets of Ouagadougou, some were showing support for the country’s new leaders.
“We are demonstrating to support this coup, confirmed or not,” said Francois Beogo, a political activist from the Movement for the Refounding of Burkina Faso. “For us, it is already a coup.”
Beogo said Damiba “has showed his limits” during his short time in power. “People were expecting a real change,” he added.
Some demonstrators voiced support for Russian involvement in order to stem the violence, and shouted slogans critical of France, Burkina Faso’s former coloniser. In neighbouring Mali, the junta invited Russian mercenaries from the Wagner Group to help secure the country, though their deployment has drawn international criticism.
Last week, Damiba had travelled to New York where he addressed the UN general assembly. In his speech, Damiba defended his January coup as “an issue of survival for our nation”, even if it was “perhaps reprehensible” to the international community. On Thursday, he had given a speech in Djibo, in Burkina Faso’s volatile north.
Burkina Faso’s January coup followed similar takeovers in Mali and in Guinea, heightening fears of a rollback of democracy in west Africa. None of the juntas have committed to a date for new elections, though Damiba said last week that the transition in Burkina Faso would last for almost two more years.
Many in Burkina Faso initially supported the military takeover, frustrated with the previous government’s inability to stem Islamist violence that has killed thousands and displaced at least 2 million. Yet the violence has failed to wane in the months since Damiba took over. Earlier this month, he also took over the position of defence minister after dismissing a brigadier general from the post.
Earlier this week at least 11 soldiers were killed and 50 civilians went missing after a supply convoy was attacked by gunmen in Gaskinde commune in Soum province in the Sahel. That attack was “a low point” for Damiba’s government and “likely played a role in inspiring what we’ve seen so far today”, said Eric Humphery-Smith, senior Africa analyst at risk intelligence company Verisk Maplecroft.
Chrysogone Zougmore, president of the Burkina Faso Movement for Human Rights, called Friday’s developments “very regrettable”, saying the instability would not help in the fight against the extremist violence.
“How can we hope to unite people and the army if the latter is characterised by such serious divisions?” Zougmore said. “It is time for these reactionary and political military factions to stop leading Burkina Faso adrift.” | <urn:uuid:4732439b-62ef-486c-b96d-3f6fa68d6129> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.jungle-journalist.com/burkina-fasos-military-leader-sacked-in-2nd-coup-this-year/ | 2023-09-22T05:34:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506329.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922034112-20230922064112-00342.warc.gz | en | 0.97551 | 925 |

Decatur Memorial Hospital has trusted us with maintaining their campus grounds for many years now, which includes planting annuals every Spring. We always have a lot of fun with this and take great pride in the appearance and ambiance of their grounds. This year we had 16 of our employees load up 6 of our trucks and trailers full of over 1,200 flowers and plants and we all spent the day at DMH getting them planted. We typically wait until mid-May to make sure the chances of a hard frost are low because that would be a lot of flowers to try to protect from frost! It was a busy day today getting these all planted, but our work on their grounds have only just begun for the year. We have a crew on their campus every day of the week either mowing, watering, or just walking the grounds and picking up trash. We have helped DMH win awards for the beauty of their campus in the past and we are doing our best to give them an award winning appearance again this year!

Peterson's term as Hunt's appointee to the city's senior affairs commission expired Wednesday, and Hunt expects the city council to approve the nomination later this month.
"Bill has been actively involved in the community for years, and I've watched him be an advocate," Hunt says. "I've watched him participate in zoning cases, and I've been impressed with the way he's articulated his positions and the way he's worked well with others."
Peterson's involvement with the city includes serving as head of the Dallas Police Department Crime Watch executive board from 2002 to 2006 and lead database manager for the 2006 citywide graffiti wipe-out, volunteering more than 3,000 hours for the DPD and earning the distinction as the DPD Crime Watch volunteer of the year in 2008. He first met Hunt when he lived in the Peak's Suburban Addition Historic District, which is in District 2, but abuts Hunt's district and is an area she's involved in because of her passion for historic preservation.
Serving on the advisory committee for the city's comprehensive plan known as forwardDallas! and involvement in neighborhood zoning issues such as Baylor Hospital's planned development district highlight his land use and zoning experience. "I've actually done a fair amount of reading city code and following what happens, trying to analyze what happens," Peterson tells Unfair Park. "I am neighborhood friendly, as I believe Ms. Hunt would be described, but I'm not anti-development, which I believe Ms. Hunt would be described."
Peterson is poised to replace Emmons, who has become a contentious personality during his eight years on the plan commission. Community activist and current board of adjustment member Sharon Boyd's Web site started out as a movement against the bond vote for the American Airlines Center, but has morphed over the last couple years into an anti-Neil Emmons site, where Boyd refers to him as "Lying Emmons."
"Everyone has their own style," Hunt says. "And after eight years, it's very difficult to find someone who has no critics, but I think Neil's done a really good job. And I think he's been a great advocate and protector of neighborhoods, and that's important. I think Bill will bring a different style, and I'm sure some people will like it and some people won't."
Peterson says he's watched Emmons closely over the past three or four years, and although he wouldn't have done everything the same and admits Emmons was "a lightning rod" on some issues, he says, "I know everything Neil did was with what he conceived to be in the best interests of the city."
Peterson stresses that while he speaks his mind and has his own opinions, he's not interested in the spotlight and has no desire to be quoted. "If at the end of my term on the plan commission, people say, 'Oh, Peterson was a good guy, did his job, did his work and helped make things happen,' that wouldn't make me unhappy at all."

Bahrain parliament invites UN rights chief for unrestricted visit in prisons and Shia towns
Bahrain’s parliament has invited the UN human rights chief to visit and promised him unrestricted access to prisons and Shia villagesworld Updated: Mar 16, 2017 13:16 IST
Bahrain’s parliament has invited the UN human rights chief to visit and promised him unrestricted access to prisons and Shia villages, local media said on Wednesday, following his criticism of the kingdom’s record.
A senior official at the United Nations human rights office in Geneva welcomed the invitation and said any visit would have to address issues including reports of torture and a crackdown on activists and political parties in the Sunni-ruled state.
Akhbar al-Khaleej newspaper said parliament issued an open invitation to United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra’ad al-Hussein to visit “amidst claims he issued recently about human rights violations”.
“MPs ... asserted that there will be no restrictions on his movements and he will be allowed to visit any place, village or prison,” the newspaper said.
In Geneva, Mohammad Alnsour, chief of the Middle East and North Africa section of the U.N. human rights office, told Reuters that a technical mission which he headed in February last year was unable to visit detention centres.
He said Zeid welcomed the invitation, but it would have to tackle human rights and could not be mere “a photo opportunity”.
Bahrain’s majority Shi’ite Muslims demonstrated in 2011 demanding a bigger share in government. The country has drawn criticism over its response to the protests, including allegations of torture.
Authorities have banned the main Shi’ite Muslim group, launched legal proceedings to ban another secular group, detained activists and revoked the citizenship of the spiritual leader of the country’s Shi’ites.
Bahrain says its actions are directed against people who foment violence and sectarian tensions in the kingdom, denying charges by activists that it is targeting dissidents.
Alnsour said the council had many concerns in Bahrain. “Our major concern is we have allegations of torture, ... shrinking of democratic space for political activists and political societies (parties) in the country,” he said.
Host of the U.S. Fifth Fleet, Bahrain is seen by other Sunni Muslim-ruled Gulf states like Saudi Arabia as a bulwark against the influence of their Shi’ite Muslim adversary Iran.
Bahraini Shi’ites say the Sunni Muslim-dominated government discriminates against them, while authorities deny that and say opposition politicians are trying to undermine security. | <urn:uuid:36fa5312-5fdf-411a-9ac0-bed8d85f8006> | CC-MAIN-2017-51 | http://www.hindustantimes.com/world-news/bahrain-parliament-invites-un-rights-chief-for-unrestricted-visit-in-prisons-and-shia-towns/story-dn0FWcXaWM2CragTWC1LCO.html | 2017-12-12T20:15:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-51/segments/1512948517917.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20171212192750-20171212212750-00246.warc.gz | en | 0.961551 | 549 |

“How was the game?” Ann asked as Jeremy crawled through the hatch. She had to wait with the answer until he had pushed it close, metal screaming.
“It was awesome!” He replied breathlessly, as he threw his bag off his shoulders and went directly for his cot to change clothes. “Jenny and Ahmed’s characters planned on having a garden party for Jia – that’s Mark’s character – on account of her getting that promotion.”
Ann chuckled lightly, continuing to fry that morning’s catch, the smell of meat permeating the whole container.
“Hey mom, what’s a ‘water cooler’? My character is supposed to go there to meet all of his new workmates, but I have some trouble imagining it.”
Ann explained what a water cooler was, and for good measure what it meant to ‘shoot the breeze around the water cooler’. Jeremy listened intently while gathering his .22 rifle, clearly making mental notes. She tried to keep the ruefulness out of her voice. By the time she was finished he was ready to go. He was already looking a bit glummer. Ann felt sorry for him, having to go out there again. When she had been his age…no use thinking of it.
“When’s the next game?”
Jeremy lit up.
“We talked shifts; I’ll be on night for the next week, Ahmed, Jenny and Mark are all crazy as well, but we thought Wednesday the week after that.”
“That sounds wonderful, dear. Be careful up there now.”
“Of course mom. See you tomorrow!”
Jeremy crawled back topside for his evening guard shift. Ann continued frying the ever-grey little pieces of rodent, stirring them in the sudden silence with her wooden fork. She was thinking absently of water-coolers and garden parties and promotions and regular jobs. Things that her children might only know through make-believe, role-playing games they play when they get together for those brief moments when there was no alert, no danger, no attack.
Still, she was happy they were allowed those moments of escapism into a world so completely foreign to their own. | <urn:uuid:16cf37e1-4279-46cc-a767-197d3f1ca6d7> | CC-MAIN-2018-05 | https://365tomorrows.com/2010/03/14/escapism/ | 2018-01-23T10:14:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-05/segments/1516084891886.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20180123091931-20180123111931-00014.warc.gz | en | 0.986611 | 496 |
The selection of Monday Covers is not one we take lightly, though admittedly some weeks the pickings were slimmer than others. Luckily, we have several talented photographers regularly submitting shots and have been able to consistently post a stand out shot every Monday. But for the first time since Alliance Wakeskate became a regular “website” we don’t have a new shot this week, instead I asked Brandon to pick his five favorite covers from the past year. While I get the final say, Brandon is always my second opinion, so I figured I’d let him do the honors.

With the fate of the Wild Ridge Bears hanging in the balance, can Bo find his true mate before it’s too late?
Bo Calvin is running out of time. As one of the last two Alpha bear shifters on Wild Ridge without a mate, he’s facing madness and certain death. When he finds Oona trespassing on Calvin lands, his attraction to her hits him like a thunder bolt. She’s fierce and beautiful like some Amazonian goddess. But, another Alpha has already made a claim for her. Bo knows she’s meant for him, but acting on it could lead to an all-out clan war.
Oona Ryan has a secret. She’s spent her whole life thinking she’s got a monster inside of her. Because of it, she’s lost her family and her home. A cryptic letter from her dying mother leads her to Wild Ridge in search of answers. What she finds instead turns her world upside down and reveals a shocking betrayal. Being among a group of virile bears calls to Oona’s nature in ways she never expected. One stolen kiss from Bo Calvin brings out her own, ancient primal power. But, her attraction to him comes with a price and her presence on the ridge leads the clans to the brink of civil war.

Do your online customers love you?
We’re often approached by clients who have great products to sell. They might be manufacturers or have sourced products they can sell at a profit. Others are long-time brick-and-mortar companies wanting to move into the online selling arena.
They come to us for help in building their online store and helping them get started — or improve — their e-commerce efforts. Innocently, these well-intentioned business owners focus on the products and pricing as the USP (Unique Selling Proposition). They’re quite surprised when we tell them that product and price is not what’s important. For us, it’s something we call Brand Articulation.
Brand is Everything
First, let me say right up front that you do want to sell great products at a competitive price. But, consumers have shown over and over again that market growth is more than the price-value proposition. Buyers cozy up to brands because they make them feel good. Great brands are safe, prestigious, chic and/or trusted. The best brands are all of these.
And these are what we want to feel. We want to feel that when we buy a widget from Acme, we have made a great purchasing decision. Someone else might sell a less expensive widget, but maybe it’s not as dependable. In many cases, we might want to simply own an Acme widget, as it makes a statement about who we are.
Take Apple, for instance. While millions choose Android smartphones, many prefer the iPhone because of the Apple brand value. Apple products are incredibly well engineered (so far no batteries have exploded), they tend to create technology niches others jump into (smartphone, tablet), and Apple backs their products with very good service and support.
Yet, Apple products are not always the least priced on the market.
But, it’s much more than simply the products that continue to feed Apples sales: it’s the brand itself. Apple works very hard at building an entire brand experience, from it’s iconic stores — which completely turned electronic retail on its ear — to the legend of Steve Jobs. It’s the culture of the company itself as a benevolent corporate citizen.
I contend that if the Apple brand was simply attached to products, it would not be nearly as successful a company as it is today.
What Are Your Brand Values?
So, when we begin working with a new client on an e-commerce store, we focus our initial requirements discussion on much more than the technology, products or logistics of the planned endeavor (all very important, to be sure). We begin by asking them to “describe your brand.” For us, immersing ourselves in their brand helps us produce a much better outcome.
Unfortunately, most clients have trouble describing their brand. Many say something like “we provide great service,” or “we’re the leading seller of Acme widgets in the Midwest.” For us, these are outcomes of the brand, but not the brand itself.
Think about your brand for a minute. Then, answer the following questions (our responses are in italics):
- How do you want your customers to describe your company? novusweb delivered better than anticipated results.
- Why would your customers return to buy from you again? To increase their online e-commerce success.
- What makes a customer remember your company name? We cuddle our clients, making them feel very special. We provide them with ongoing, helpful advice.
- What is the one word that you want used when describing a customer’s experience with you? Profitable.
We call these answers your brand values. These are the attributes of how your brand adds value to your selling proposition.
You’ll probably answer these differently from us — and you probably should — but notice that, for us, “price” is not mentioned in any of these answers. We believe customers will pay a fair price for great results; that price discounting is not always the key to success. That said, we also don’t feel we over-charge our clients. We keep our rates competitive, but certainly more than many other e-commerce agencies — especially those overseas. And a majority of our clients have come to us after working with a lower cost provider, having had less than ideal results. These clients have been with us for many years, too. Not because of price, but because we live up to our brand.
Articulate Your Brand
Once you have established your brand values, as an online seller, you have to turn to how you communicate your brand through your e-commerce efforts. These methods are what we call the Brand Articulation: the specific things you do to increase your brand’s values among consumers.
The following are just some of the many aspects of creating an online selling program that we discuss with clients as part of their Brand Articulation:
Logo’s are funny things. Many companies opt for complicated designs that try to communicate a brand’s entire value proposition. However, simpler designs (e.g. Apple, IBM, Dell, Nike, Macy’s) work better as they can be applied across multiple media, used as backgrounds, etc. More versatile and more immediate recognition by customers. Focus on simplicity over message.
Logos need to be used throughout your site, including email notices. If possible, add your logo to packing lists and even outside packing cartons. Just look at the Amazon logo: when we see it on the side of a box, we know it’s from Amazon.
The more places your logo can be, the better.
It’s not uncommon to want a mobile-ready website, but is everything tested on a mobile device? How easy is it for your customers to navigate your site on desktop or mobile? Is your navigation too complex? We’ve seen sites with literally hundreds of product categories; others with many, multiple category levels. Why punish your users?
Is your checkout process simple? Does it suggest security and privacy? Everything your customers experience represents your brand.
Returns and Refunds
We know it costs money to process returns. And no business likes making refunds. However, if you’re worried about offering full refunds and handling returns, you may not be selling good products. Just look at Zappos for an example of how a completely new brand built to a huge success (now owned by Amazon) by offering free returns (including shipping) and full refunds. On shoes!
If you’re not offering free returns and full refunds, you’re turning off lots of online customers who expect this. Of course, some businesses can’t honor this (some B2B cases, to be sure), but in most consumer products, it’s a standard expectation for consumers.
The question now is, “can you offer something that your competitors don’t?” For our own business we built starting in 2005 (later sold in 2009), we were unique in offering 100%, 30-day money-back satisfaction guarantee and free remote software installation services for buyers of digital dictation equipment. Our competitors were penalizing returns with a 15% re-stocking fee and charging for any installation services. Within a few months, we were out-selling 95% of our online competitors. And, over the 5 years we owned the business, we had a less than 0.2% return rate on purchases. By helping our customers install the accompanying software and training them to get more from the equipment (all by telephone or remote screen sharing), customers were much less likely to return their purchase.
Help and Support
If possible, we highly encourage clients to employ a live chat capability. Even if you can’t man it 24 hours a day, letting your customers know that help is instantly available is very valuable. We use LiveChat even on this website, as we want anyone visiting our site to have the ability to reach us without having to call a number or send a “Contact Us” inquiry (although we make those easy with an 800 number and simple online form).
Build robust FAQs and, if possible, include a knowledge base with complete use information, manuals, guides, etc.
One of our pet peeves is products with scant information. It takes time to write great descriptions that sell, but it’s by far the most important thing you can do to increase sales of your products. Customers want to know what they’re buying. They want to feel good about their purchase. They want to be sure what they buy will satisfy their needs.
Images should be large and well produced. If you’re selling clothes, the photos should be detailed enough to see the stitching and trim. For electronics, show all sides, especially various plugs and jacks. Show your products in size context by using models or showing your products next to other things with which people are familiar.
By all means, include product reviews, too. So simple, yet so incredibly powerful.
There are many more brand touchpoints we discuss with our clients, but I hope you understand the gist here: don’t overlook anything.
Dedicate to Your Brand
The bottom line is that you have everything to gain with Brand Articulation, and no down side. Whatever you do to build your online business, be sure you measure everything against your brand values. If it supports your brand, you’re most likely on track. If not, reconsider. | <urn:uuid:ba418f25-b477-4ca4-8469-5f469d1f5801> | CC-MAIN-2018-30 | https://www.novusweb.com/brand-articulation-making-customers-love-you/ | 2018-07-20T08:15:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-30/segments/1531676591575.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20180720080634-20180720100634-00003.warc.gz | en | 0.954787 | 1,991 |
Singer, TV Pitchman and Cinematic Hero Slim Whitman Dead at 90
Slim Whitman, a country singer who found new, inventive ways to gain fame in five different decades, has died.
The ‘Rose Marie’ and ‘Have I Told You Lately That I Love You’ singer was known in his later years for a distinguished look and television commercials that became a frequent target for talk show host Johnny Carson. In 1996, his music saved the world in the movie ‘Mars Attacks!’
Whitman’s yodeling in songs like ‘Indian Love Call’ may be how he’s best remembered, musically. With a thin, black mustache, he was very popular in Europe and an omnipresent character on television in the ’80s. The two-minute long commercials helped him sell millions of records, including four million of ‘All My Best,’ his album from 1979.
Whitman’s career started in the 1940s, and he recorded several hit songs including ‘Secret Love,’ ‘More Than Yesterday’ and ‘Guess Who’ throughout the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s. He was signed to RCA Records by Col. Tom Parker, who would later become Elvis Presley’s manager. In fact, Whitman gave the King of rock n’ roll a pep talk early in his career.
His well-rehearsed yodeling characterized his music. In 1991, he told the Associated Press he was always working to keep his voice in shape. “It’s like a prize fighter,” he said. “He knows he has a fight coming up, so he gets in the gym and trains. So when I have a show coming up, I practice yodeling.”
Whitman’s television commercials were a favorite of Carson‘s. He even did a Slim Whitman look-alike contest one year. Whitman recorded one final album in 2010 (and 65 during his life), but his most recognizable post-80s moment came during the 1996 film ‘Mars Attacks!’ It was a Slim Whitman song (‘Indian Love Call’) that caused the martians’ heads to explode, saving the world.
Whitman’s death was prematurely reported in 2008. He responded to the rumors — which included an emotional tribute by friend and fellow singer George Hamilton — by saying, “I can still sing. If you are dead, you can’t sing” (quote via the Florida Union-Times).
According to the AP, Whitman — real name Otis Dewey Whitman — died at the age of 90 after his heart failed at the Orange Park Medical Center in Miami, Fla. He leaves behind a son named Byron and daughter named Sharon. His wife, Jerry, died in 2009. They were married for 67 years.

Common Flossing Mistakes
Flossing is an important part of your daily dental routine. In fact, flossing helps to remove plaque from 40% of your tooth surfaces, including places like along the gum line and between the teeth. These places are easily missed by a toothbrush and can be excellent places for plaque to accumulate. When it comes to flossing, however, there are a few key mistakes that dentist’s notice their patients making. Here are some of the most common flossing mistakes:
Not Flossing Regularly
The American Dental Association advises people to floss once a day to maintain their oral health. Despite this recommendation, however, only about 30% of Americans floss every day. Some people also floss occasionally, while others may floss once in a while or not at all. A lack of consistency with flossing is one of the biggest flossing mistakes because it allows plaque to accumulate along the gum line and in between teeth in places where your toothbrush cannot reach. Ultimately, not flossing can increase the risk of tooth decay and gum disease, even if you brush regularly.
Irritating the Gums
Another mistake some people make while flossing is irritating the gums. When you floss, you should never use the floss to apply pressure to your gums and should be careful not to accidentally snap the floss against the gums. You will also not want to floss more than once a day. All of these things can cause the gums to bleed and become irritated. Eventually, this can cause the gums to recede or pull away from the teeth, and can result in gum disease.
Obviously it goes without saying that flossing only works in the areas that you floss. Unfortunately, dentists often notice their patients forgetting a few key areas that are known to develop decay as a result. The most common place people forget to floss is the backs of the last molars and this becomes a common location for plaque and food debris. The sides of the teeth and just below the gum line are two other commonly missed locations.
Not Flossing at the Right Time
Because it is recommended to only floss once a day to remove plaque without irritating the gums, the time of day you floss matters. To get the most out of your daily flossing, you should floss just before going to bed. You should also be flossing before you brush your teeth because flossing removes excess plaque and allows the fluoride from toothpaste to reach the hard to reach places in your mouth. Both brushing and flossing before you go to bed removes excess bacteria from your mouth to protect your teeth when saliva production is reduced as you sleep. Since bacteria can do the most damage while you sleep, brushing and flossing before bed help to minimize this damage.
Using the Wrong Floss
One of the final mistakes people make when flossing is that they are using the wrong type of floss. There are multiple types of dental floss and some are better suited for certain types of smiles. Knowing what type of floss will work best for you is the best way to make your flossing routine faster, easier, and more effective.

If a year ago, you could find people in different parts of the world who have never heard about Ukraine, this is almost impossible to imagine in 2022. The brave resistance of the Ukrainians to the Russian invasion caused a wave of true admiration around the world, making people from all countries and continents learn about Ukraine, its culture and history. Apart from Ukrainians who are working hard to expose Russian war crimes and atrocities, international journalists who report from Ukraine also play a crucial role in helping the world see the truth about the unjustified and brutal Russian war. To highlight their work and understand how they approach their important role, Ukraīner started a series of interviews titled “Ukraine Through The Eyes of Reporters”.
Our second episode features Nolan Peterson, an American journalist and a military veteran who has lived in Ukraine since the summer of 2014 when Russia first invaded the country. He came to Ukraine to tell the world about the war and stayed here as he was inspired by Ukrainians who stood up to achieve freedom. In this interview, he shares his experience of being a foreign journalist, explains the motivation of foreign legion soldiers to come to fight in Ukraine, and gives his recommendations for soldiers coming back from war zones.
– So how much have you known about Ukraine before, and how did your background lead to what you are doing now in Ukraine?
The only thing I knew about Ukraine when I arrived here for the first time was that it was in a post-Soviet world. I felt very privileged to witness what I felt was sort of the birth of the democratic culture in Ukraine. When I first came here in 2014, I saw the volunteer battalions: men of all ages who decided to grow out there and fight for their freedom. It was incredibly inspiring for me. I am a military veteran from the United States, and the closest analogy I came up with what I experienced in 2014 was days immediately after September 11th, 2001, in the United States, when an American society gathered together. So, I was taken aback by this country’s democratic spirit and the love of freedom.
– What made you stay? Were there moments when you firmly decided that you were going to stay here for good?
When I first came in 2014, I thought that I would be here for 2 or 3 weeks. But that summer, I went to Mariupol, where the Russian forces were advancing. And I very vividly remember sitting on a hilltop in Mariupol watching a tank battle, and I thought to myself — this is crazy, a tank battle in Europe in 2014. I felt that this story wasn’t being transmitted to the world. I was repeatedly going to the frontline of Ukraine and experienced warfare, artillery, rockets. I thought that it was important to stay here and to remind Europe, the United States, and the world that there was a land war going on in Europe.
– In your opinion, why do so many people actually know so little about the roots of this war and about what is going on?
For many Americans, over the last few years, Ukraine was a story that was very far away. And it was always a challenge for me as a journalist to try to make this war matter to people’s daily lives in the United States, because everyone in the United States is worried about terrorism. There was a rise of ISIS in 2014, and China was a threat to our country, so it was always a challenge to cut through that noise and explain why Ukraine was important. I worry that this war was going to escalate into something far bigger and become a war that the United States could not ignore any longer. Because this war is genocide in Ukraine, and it demands the world’s attention. Russia’s aggression is now butting up against NATO, it’s threatening a potentially much larger conflict than one that’s contained within Ukraine. For me, as a journalist, it’s always a challenge to try to press on the American people on why this war matters. And unfortunately, we are at the place now where war has become a problem that the United States and Europe can no longer ignore.
– Could you explain why today it seems like a lot of people in the US from different political spectrums care way more about this war? Do you know where it’s coming from? What is the difference between 2014 and now?
Oh, I absolutely know why this war has now got people’s attention, both the United States and the world. Because in the lead-up to Russia’s February 24th invasion, there were so many stories of the territorial defense forces and the civilians who were preparing to fight. And there’s always this question like — is this for real? Do Ukrainians really have that much courage to grab their grandfather’s Kalashnikov and go out there and stare at the Russian tank? There is a spectacle that grabs people’s attention. But after these 3 days, when everybody expected Kyiv to fall, President Zelenskyy didn’t leave the capital and the Ukrainian people. And Ukrainian soldiers stood their ground. It became less about the scale of the spectacle of the war and more about the inspiring story of the people who are not going to roll over and be invaded. We are going to stand up for the values that my country, the United States, stands for — freedom, democracy, and liberty for everybody. Ukrainians fought for the same values. I think that this story resonated because Ukrainians became world heroes. It’s an inspirational story, that’s why it both grabbed the world’s attention and is still the number one story of the world.
– What you, as a person who has been here as a journalist since before the full-scale invasion, have seen that proves that it’s in fact genocide?
I saw the proofs with my eyes in Bucha and Irpin — all the dead bodies. I was a soldier and a pilot, I’ve been in combat, and I know what the toll of war is supposed to look like on the battlefield — and it’s not that hundreds of dead civilians were summarily executed. Russia doesn’t believe in Ukraine, both as a country and as a nation, that has the right to exist. That’s the most black-and-white, clear-cut example of genocide. And here we are in Europe again, one human lifetime later from the Holocaust, and people are still quibbling about whether it’s a genocide or not. We have a duty as journalists to call out the truth and tell what we see. And I think the evidence is clear that what Russia is doing is genocide. I think if we try to equivocate that fact or play word games, we are essentially empowering Russia to continue. So, it is important to call out exactly what Russia is doing. And that is — genocide.
– Can you tell a little bit about where you’ve been when you were in the military? And how does what you’ve seen contrast or compares to the war in Ukraine?
One of the biggest differences between what I’ve experienced in Afghanistan and what I’ve experienced in Ukraine is that Ukrainians chose democracy for themselves. It wasn’t something that was dictated to them or wasn’t something that they were told to do. Ukrainians, on their own record in 2014 during the Revolution of Dignity, chose this path for their country, and they have fought for it for over 8 years now. It’s a whole different experience to come to a country where people have embodied those values and those dreams on their own. The closest parallel to Ukraine would be my time with Tibetan freedom fighters. I spent some time in the Himalayas interviewing Tibetans who stood up and fought back communist China. When China invaded Tibet and tried to erase Tibetan culture, it challenged Tibetans’ right to exist. And every day Tibetans, including monks, took their arms and fought back. And even though Tibet and Ukraine are very distinct cultures geographically and in many other ways, that spirit to fight for their nations’ right to exist against the bully is something that really struck me. Also, just the fact — that normal people who never wanted to be soldiers, people who’ve never thought they pick up the gun and go to battle, just decided that they need to do this for the sake of their families, and for the sake of their country’s future — is inspiring. I think that it is the most remarkable story in the world when people who don’t want to fight — choose to stand for the people who they need to protect and raise up against these forces of evil.
– Do you have any observations on differences or similarities in terms of warfare?
When I served in the US air force, I deployed in Afghanistan and Iraq, and I was involved in countersurge fights. But when I first arrived in Ukraine in 2014, I saw a tank battle, rocket attacks, and heavy artillery. And then this year, we’ve seen the full-scale invasion comprising air attacks, and missile attacks. So, it’s a completely different type of war than what I experienced as a combatant and saw as a journalist in some conflicts. Death is real and it’s there, and it can happen very quickly. This conflict is different because it is a conventional conflict between two modern militaries. The world is keeping a close eye on what’s going on here, but this conflict does have the potential to become much worse than it is now, and I think that is one very important motivating factor — first to keep an eye on it and not to let become this war forgotten again.
– A lot of people actually say that in order to not let this conflict spiral into World War III and the use of nuclear weapon — is to not supply Ukraine with weapons. Do you have any thoughts about that, and what would you say to those people?
I think, to someone who made an argument that by cutting off the weapons to Ukraine, this war would end — they clearly don’t know Ukrainians. They lasted 8,5 years without HIMARS, without javelins, without all these new tools we’ve given this country. So, if suddenly the western military dry up, Ukrainians would fight with sticks and stones if they had to. To not only stop Russia’s advance, but to turn it back and regain their territory. The best thing we can do is to support the side of good in this conflict and to allow Ukrainians to win this war. The only way to put the Russian weapons behind — is to defeat it. Ukraine is fighting for its existence right now. And who are we to tell them to give up? When you fight for existence, you only have 2 choices: to fight until you win, or to die. And Ukraine isn’t going to go down and die.
– What do you think about the motivation of foreign legion soldiers who come to fight in Ukraine? Why do they come?
I can draw upon my own story as a journalist who came to this conflict. I left my military career in 2012, and I remember distinctly the first feeling I had was, I asked myself — what’s next? And — who am I? And so when you leave the military, you lose the very important part of yourself and your sense of purpose in life. You are living for a higher purpose, people count on you, and you play a valuable role in this world. And I truly believe that what we often call post-traumatic stress after the war is not that soldiers are wounded by war, it is that they come home to lives in peace that just don’t match the amplitude of what they have experienced in combat. I was searching for that sense of meaning in my life. I imagine that many legion soldiers came here looking for purpose, and very similar to my experience, they arrived here and felt love for Ukraine, for the people, and the culture and were inspired by seeing this country fighting for its existence and its freedom. And I think as somebody who’s been to war as a combatant, you come to Ukraine, and it immediately feels like home.
– How can the civilians who haven’t been personally on the frontlines support their soldiers coming back? How can they help them integrate? Do you have any suggestions for the “do’s” and “don’t’s”? And how can also a country support these people during this period and also after?
One advantage that Ukrainian veterans will have after this full-scale war is over, compared with before February 24th, is that the war now affects almost all of Ukrainian society. I feel like Ukrainian veterans won’t feel so isolated because they will be a lot more societal to understand. However, life in many places of Ukraine is beginning to resume this normal rhythm and is distinct from what’s going on in the East and the South, where very intense combats are still going on. So, it’s going to be very important to give Ukrainian veterans a role in society and not just leave them on some minimum wage job when they get back home. The hardest part of coming back from war is often not the memories of the terrible things that you experienced, but losing your friends, comradery, that sense of tribe that you experience in the frontlines. I think that it’s important to get these veterans out of their apartments together, have veterans groups, where they can interact with each other, experience human relations in their life. But the most important is just to not let them be alone when they come back.
– What do you think is the role of social media at large? Do you think such intense coverage can harm? What’s your personal take on that?
Social media in this war has definitely been a double-edged sword. On the one hand, we are able to document war crimes to show the effects of missile strikes and the mass graves in Bucha and Izium. However, on the other hand, there is an equally opposite reaction to this truth being pumped out. For those who support Russia, it’s hard to believe in the truth. Even if you show them a picture of something or a live video from the mass grave, they still won’t believe it. So, in some ways, social media is unable to cut through people’s preexisting biases, which is pretty scary. As a conflict reporter, I’ve never experienced so much anxiety as in this war because every time I go on social media and report something I’ve seen or have a picture of, there is an explosion or attack. You really have to think: are you helping Russia to target its missiles? Am I doing something that’s going to get somebody killed? Russia is a master of information warfare. But it’s pretty clear at this point that Ukraine has far surpassed Russia in its ability to use social media to its benefit.
That’s so unprecedented that we have so much visibility into what happens on the Russian side in the Telegram channels of Russian soldiers. You can go to Twitter and watch combat almost in real time. I remember yesterday there was a video of the Russian soldiers surrendering near Kherson. It’s just extraordinary to watch that within hours when it actually happened. I think we’re entering a new era of how information is used in warfare. But it is distressing, however, that many people still are unable to accept the truth. People still question whether or not Russian soldiers committed the tragedies in Bucha and Irpin.
– Do you have any advice or lessons that you would like to share with journalists coming to Ukraine who don’t have such deep and broad experience as you?
The first message I would send to any foreign journalist coming to Ukraine is that this story is not 7 months old. It’s 8,5 years old. The people have just gone through the Revolution of Dignity. And it was after 2014 that the spirit of resistance and resilience was born in Ukraine. It didn’t begin on February 24th, 2022. It began in February 2014 after the Maydan. So, I think it’s important for journalists to understand the context of the last 8 years, why Ukrainians have been so courageous, and why they fought so fearlessly. You need to go out there and be present. Being here is a great first step because you are not sitting in a newsroom in DC, in New York, googling your stories. But you need to be here, run in the trenches, put your life on the line, talk to people, go see things with your own eyes, have your boots on the ground — that’s the best way to cut through the noise and to tell the truth.
– What’s your favorite thing about Ukrainian culture, history, or anything you personally experienced here?
When I moved to Ukraine, I had this overwhelming sense that I was where history was happening. This is it. This is the most important place in the world right now. This is an epicentre of our moment in history, our collective experience in this life. We are living through something that people will remember for hundreds and maybe thousands of years. This is an incredibly important historical moment. That’s why I think to be here and to experience this, it’s remarkably gratifying because you feel like you have a far-road seat to probably the most important story of our lifetimes. When I first got to Mariupol in 2014, it seemed to me a very post-Soviet place. But the youth, the young people who live there, the millennial generation, transformed the city into a really bright, promising place. I think that’s such a tragedy that Russia went and destroyed that city. And I’m sure that what happened to Mariupol is an emblematic representation of what we don’t want to happen to Ukraine. We don’t want Russia to ruin this unbelievable sense of hope that Ukrainian people have for their future.
– Lastly, do you have a favourite place in Ukraine?
I don’t know if I have a place, but I love going on long walks with my wife here in Kyiv. This is probably the greenest city you’ll see in your life, with the river banks and the wooded areas in the parks. So you can get lost for hours walking around Kyiv, and I feel like Kyiv is my second home now. I’ll stay here as long as I can.
– If you could say one thing to Ukrainian people, what would you say?
I would say that you, Ukrainians, have inspired the world. When this war began, people may have doubted your ability to resist, but you’ve proven in these last 7 months that freedom is worth fighting for. And I think that many people now will believe that democracy is worth fighting for because we’ve seen how hard the Ukrainians are fighting for it. You are going not only for the country’s freedom, you are inspiring people all over the world to fight for their future and their freedom as well. This story will have effects across the world, and I think we have a lot to thank Ukraine for. Slava Ukraini! (Glory to Ukraine! – tr.)

Phuket – 1 December 2017: The United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) in collaboration with Marriott Thailand Business Council hosts “The Sustainable island for the future: Multi-stakeholder Forum on Responsible Business Practices for Sustainable Water Management on Resort Islands”, at the JW Marriott Phuket Resort & Spa, Phuket province, Thailand.
On this occasion, Marc Proksch, Investment and Enterprise Development Section, Trade, Investment and Innovation Division of ESCAP presided over the forum. The welcome addressed by guest honored Prakob Wongmaneerung, Vice-Governor, Provincial Government of Phuket and Kanokkittika Kritwutikon, Director of Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) Phuket Office.
The representatives also included senior officials responsible for water management and access issues in key island tourism destinations in South-East Asia, key Ministries at national level, resorts operating in island communities, companies offering innovative solutions for water management, civil society and universities based in Phuket.
The forum event aims to build on and broaden last year’s discussion to the South-East Asia regional level, focusing on island tourism destinations in South-East Asia and to share innovative and cost-efficient business practices and technologies for ensuring sustainable water use and re-use in large and small resorts for potential inclusion in a best practice guide.
The background: Water crises present one of the most significant global risks over the coming decade, rated third by the World Economic Forum in terms of potential impact. However, despite being a critical resource for our survival, water remains undervalued and underpriced and thus overused. As a consequence, the world’s groundwater – main source of freshwater – is used much more quickly than it is being replenished. With high economic and population growth coupled with impacts of climate change, it is predicted that large parts of Asia will suffer serious water shortages by 2050.
Tourism is a very important source of income and jobs in many Asia-Pacific economies. According to the World Travel and Tourism Council, travel and tourism accounted for 9% of GDP and 8.7% of employment in the region if indirect impacts are included. The region attracted some 300 million international tourist arrivals in 2016, generating nearly 455 billion USD in visitor exports. By 2027 arrivals are expected to nearly double to reach 549 million tourist arrivals per year.
As positive as this tourism is, it takes a heavy toll on our water supplies that is simply not sustainable with our current approach. Maintaining gardens, pools, spas and other resort facilities is already proving a challenge in Phuket where resorts are already often reliant on truck water deliveries to meet resort needs with high resulting costs and if we don’t act now it will only get worse as tourist numbers increase.
The forum shared good practices in water and wastewater management and innovative technology solutions. Participants shared how to reduce water consumption in hotels both at source and by ensuring better wastewater treatment. The government of Phuket shared information on the water situation and wastewater management in Phuket and plans for the future. Participants noted that clear and enforced building codes that integrate sustainability considerations could be useful for pushing better water and wastewater management on a broader scale. The forum shared good practices in water and wastewater management and innovative technology solutions.
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the United Nations member states in 2015, include 17 goals of which one dedicated to water and sanitation (SDG 6: “ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all”). The United Nations has also designated 2017 as the International Year of Sustainable Tourism. | <urn:uuid:2da66787-532b-4917-bd9c-d68586e914f3> | CC-MAIN-2019-09 | https://phuketnews.phuketindex.com/features/jw-marriott-phuket-28-213057.html | 2019-02-18T23:26:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-09/segments/1550247488490.40/warc/CC-MAIN-20190218220415-20190219002415-00564.warc.gz | en | 0.93001 | 750 |

If some years back anyone had asked me if I wanted to work in concrete it would have made me raise my eyebrows. Yet, a couple of years ago in Berlin I saw sculptures made by Wilhelm Lehmbruck in 1918 and I absolutely loved it. The label said, “cast in stone”. It was cast concrete. Yori Seeger, who has a great expertise in working with concrete, taught me how to use it. I am grateful to him.
Concrete has lots of great qualities suited for 3-D art. When making art, different mixtures of cement, sand, aggregates and water are used . During its curing process, concrete properties change from soft as clay to hard as plaster to even harder like stone. At any stage, there are ways to work with it. It can be finished with patinas, tints, stains for color and it can be polished to a bronze look or left rough as unglazed clay. It can be cast using a mold or modeled directly. It is a very versatile material. The disadvantage of concrete sculpture is that it can be quite heavy but, as a plus, concrete is a strong and inexpensive material. | <urn:uuid:d12edade-6a39-45bd-bd48-0dd8ab89daa6> | CC-MAIN-2018-30 | http://rachel.karklin.com/cement/ | 2018-07-17T16:52:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-30/segments/1531676589757.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20180717164437-20180717184437-00595.warc.gz | en | 0.979661 | 239 |

What is the biblical meaning of the name Steven?
In Biblical Names the meaning of the name Stephen is: Crown; crowned.
What is the meaning behind the name Steven?
The name “Stephen” (and its common variant “Steven“) is derived from Greek Στέφανος (Stéphanos), a first name from the Greek word στέφανος (stéphanos), meaning “wreath, crown” and by extension “reward, honor, renown, fame”, from the verb στέφειν (stéphein), “to encircle, to wreathe”.
Is the name Steven in the Bible?
Origin of the name Steven:
The name is borne in the Bible by St Stephen, one of the seven chosen to assist the apostles, and the first Christian martyr.
Is Steven a Hebrew name?
Instead, they are matched approximately by meaning. For example, Stephen comes from Greek meaning “crown.” The Hebrew name Atar also means “crown” and therefore is given as a “translation.”
What does James mean in Hebrew?
In Hebrew Baby Names the meaning of the name James is: He grasps the heel. Supplanter.
What does Charlie mean?
Meaning:free man. Charlie as a boy’s name (also used as girl’s name Charlie), is pronounced CHAR-lee. It is of Old German origin, and the meaning of Charlie is “free man”.
What does Steve mean in Spanish?
Esteban (pronounced [esˈteβan]) is a Spanish male given name, derived from Greek Στέφανος (Stéphanos) and related to the English names Steven and Stephen. Although in its original pronunciation the accent is on the penultimate syllable, English-speakers tend to pronounce it as a proparoxytone /ˈɛstəbæn/.
What name means a gift from God?
Hence, they often go for a name that means ‘gift from God‘.
Names for Boys.
|Attam||A gift from God|
|Avishai||A gift from God|
|Ayaan||A gift from God; rays of the rising sun|
What’s the difference between Stephen and Steven?
For the record, “Steven” is an American variant of the more traditional spelling “Stephen.” Both are pronounced exactly the same way (Stee-ven). By the same token, “Stefen,” “Stefan,” and “Stephan” are all pronounced the same way (Stef-un).
How is Stephen pronounced in the Bible?
As well, the biblical saint, and first christian martyr, Saint Stephen, is ALWAYS pronounced the way King Stephen, and Stephen King, are pronounced. Stephen’s Green in Dublin and almost all uses of Stephen in Ireland, follow the English standard, not the Scottish (v) usage (like Robert Louis Stevenson).
What does Lisa mean?
Meaning:God’s promise. Lisa as a girl’s name is of English origin and is a short form of the Hebrew name Elisabeth meaning “God’s promise”.
How common is the name Steven?
During this year, 19922 babies were named Steven, which was 0.5871% of the baby boys born in the USA that year. The most the names popularity ever grew to was 0.957%, in this year alone more than 38000 boys were named Steven.
What does the name Steven mean for a boy?
The name Steven is a boy’s name of English origin meaning “garland, crown”. Steven, the phonetic and now predominant spelling of the classier Stephen, has finally dropped out of the Top 100 after seventy years. Steve has become one of the ultimate regular-guy names, right up there with Dave and Joe.
How old is Steven Universe?

Suits you, Brooks Brothers
The iconic American outfitter is taking great strides into the British market, writes John Arlidge
FOR most Italian fashion executives, promoting la bella figura
on the Milanese catwalks is an article of faith. Giorgio Armani, Miuccia Prada and Donatella Versace would rather eat their own designer flip-flops than flog classic British or American styles.
Not so Claudio Del Vecchio. Last Thursday night while Donatella showed off her latest razzle-dazzle creations to Rod Stewart and Elle Macpherson at a party in London’s Sloane Street, Del Vecchio was hosting a rival bash in Regent Street showcasing a very different look.
Del Vecchio is bringing an icon of American retailing to London. Brooks Brothers — the preppy New York-founded chain that formally opens the mahogany and brass doors of its first 11,000 sq ft British flagship store this week — is as much a part of the fabric of America as baseball, Cadillacs and apple pie.

Sandworld - iteration 4
one of the very first renders were everything came together. The model and ship are there, but there's no texturing on the ground yet. The box is for size.
Sandworld - iteration 6
I reshaped the sand dunes and randomly playing with their texture settings. I kinda liked this look, but it's not the visuals I intended to get. I drowned the box by accident.
Sandworld - Iteration 7
much beteter! This is getting close to the look I was aiming for. It needs more details though!
Sandworld - Iteration 9
close! The ground texture is much too pronounced in this version still... let's lessen that a bit! | <urn:uuid:b796f9fe-bcd9-42e9-8c86-f8dbfb48c1d3> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://orkfotografie.nl/crafting-notes/sandworld/ | 2021-12-05T23:21:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964363226.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20211205221915-20211206011915-00047.warc.gz | en | 0.961933 | 146 |

What is the relationship between those who have died and those who are still alive? Can we help those who are now in the spiritual world? Can they help us?
In a realistic, practical way, Rudolf Steiner deals with the relationships people who live in the physical world can have with those who have crossed the thresholc and live in the spiritual world. The tone of these lectures, which give examples drawn from Steiner’s personal experience, is unusually warm and moving. | <urn:uuid:c76b9a4d-4c40-47bb-aff8-57911fc7fb9b> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.waldorfbooks.com/item_459.htm | 2013-05-23T08:36:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368703035278/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516111715-00022-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.96514 | 113 |

There is an increased chance of diabetes during pregnancy, and its regulation requires good nutrition and exercise, the Association of Dieticians and Nutritionists of Cyprus warned on Monday.
The association announced the guidelines on diabetes on the occasion of World Diabetes Day which is commemorated every year on November 14.
This year the theme is ‘Women and diabetes: our right to a healthy future’. Diabetes affects up to 9.2 per cent of all pregnant women in some countries.
“It is possible that a percentage of pregnant women only develop gestational diabetes during pregnancy and after the birth of the foetus they don’t have any problem with diabetes while another percentage will have diabetes later on in life as well,” the organisation said.
In addition, the nutritionists noted that symptoms often go unnoticed, as increased diuresis and hunger are taken for granted during pregnancy.
“During pregnancy, the placenta produces hormones that help the foetus grow. These hormones make it more difficult for insulin to act on the body. In women with gestational diabetes, the pancreas cannot cope with these increased needs, resulting in increased levels of glucose in the blood,” the statement added.
Women should follow an individualised diet before and during pregnancy which is provided by dietitians, while only when the diet is not sufficient to achieve normal blood glucose levels should insulin treatment be recommended.
During the first trimester women are advised to eat small and frequent meals, which means three main meals and three snacks, while during the second trimester it is increasingly important that they discuss any personal requirements with experts.
The good news, the association said, is that most children whose mother had diabetes during pregnancy are completely healthy.
The International Diabetes Federation says that one in seven births are affected by gestational diabetes while one in ten women lives with the illness worldwide. World Diabetes Day this year promotes the importance of screening to ensure an early diagnosis of diabetes during pregnancy. | <urn:uuid:cffe9a7b-5af8-4dbf-a146-005993beb802> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://cyprus-mail.com/2017/11/13/women-warned-risk-diabetes-pregnancy/ | 2022-08-07T22:14:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570730.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20220807211157-20220808001157-00732.warc.gz | en | 0.957094 | 402 |
Have you seen a school of fish swarming in the sea? That school, made up of hundreds or thousands of fish, have no leader, even though they swim at the same speed, and turn and dive in unison. How fish swim in unison, without a leader to direct them, is actually related to how animal and human bodies work, with cells, muscles and organs working in unison to keep the body alive and in motion. This is the focus of research being conducted at Worcester Polytechnic Institute by Dr. Kun-Ta Wu, assistant professor of physics.
Wu is researching the big question of how life works. He looks at living organisms as machines and the organisms inside them as smaller machines. An animal is a natural machine made up of small machines, like cells or muscles, that are powered by even smaller machines, like nanoscale molecular motors. That means living organisms are like a machine made of other, smaller machines. Understanding how the behaviors of small machines accumulate to produce larger dynamics will shed light on the fundamental physical principles behind the functioning of living organisms.
To study this, Wu and his team are looking at the collective dynamics of active matter. Active matter differs from conventional passive matter because of its ability to convert chemical energy into kinetic energy. Examples of active matter range from living things, like bacteria, ants and locusts, to non-living things like colloidal rollers, magnetic spinners, and motor-driven cytoskeletal filaments. Each one can self-propel, while interacting with its neighbors. On a large scale, these entities self-organize into a macroscopic material flow, meaning they begin working in unison, and that unified effort can be directed to transport cargos or perform mechanical work. However, how the interaction among entities impacts the resulting macroscopic dynamics remains poorly understood.
Wu’s team recently published a paper, “Collective Dynamics of Microtubule-Based 3D Active Fluids from Single Microtubules,” in the peer-reviewed journal Soft Matter. In the paper, Wu describes how his team used microtubule-based active fluids driven by different kinds of kinesin motor proteins. In Wu’s laboratory, microtubules were extracted from bovine brain tissue. In cells, microtubules play an important role in cell activity, being used in cell division and nutrient transport. The activity originates from kinesin molecular motors walking along microtubules. In cargo transport, microtubules are like rail tracks and the kinesin motors are like trains. When these tracks and trains are added in water, their motion drives surrounding water, generating turbulence-like flows.
Wu investigated how the flow speed was impacted by mechanisms of molecular motors. They used two different motors in their research. Processive motors walked along microtubules continuously without detaching, while non-processive motors detached after each step. Unexpectedly, they found that when the system was supplied with sufficient fuel, such as adenosine triphosphate, the flow speed increased with the motor output power but is independent of motor processivity. This finding demonstrated that the accumulated dynamics of the active fluids was mainly related to the activity of each entity, rather than their detailed power mechanisms.
The large machines are powered by the accumulated force generated by smaller machines. This finding implies that how smaller machines generate power does not play an important role in the performance of the bigger machine. It is the magnitude of output power of smaller machines that dominates how the bigger machine performs.
On the biology perspective, this finding suggests that the motion of tissues mainly depends on the accumulated forces from each cell, and how cells generate such a force may be an intracellular process, which does not impact the tissue motion significantly. However, living organisms contain complex and diverse biological processes; outlining the underlying physical principles governing these processes remains an unfinished challenge in biophysics. Wu will continue to adopt experimental model systems of active matter to strip layers of complexity in life to find out the principles of how life works and further shed light on unraveling the mystery of the origin of life. | <urn:uuid:f3dc07f1-2299-47bd-8829-62ca92a90471> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://www.wpi.edu/news/announcements/wus-team-publishes-soft-matter-research-how-life-works | 2019-11-15T14:56:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496668682.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20191115144109-20191115172109-00192.warc.gz | en | 0.948754 | 842 |
Universes in Universe / Caravan / 8th Havana Biennial
8th Havana Biennial, 2003. Report by Universes in Universe - Worlds of Art
This year it is especially difficult to see the Havana Biennial solely as an art event, completely neutral, without the context of the conditions in Cuba. Both its preparation and how it is perceived internationally have been seriously affected by the increasing gravity of the political situation.
The reports circulating in the months before the 8th Havana Biennial were primarily negative: the harsh action taken by the Cuban government against members of the opposition, its escalating confrontation course toward the European Union , the nullification of sponsoring agreements by European foundations and then the censorship of texts on works by two artists, who after which canceled their participation.
According to official announcements, this biennial was saved because the Cuban government stepped in with 156,000 US Dollars from its own funds, supposedly the entire budget. But even in Cuba, this would not have come close to being enough for an international event such as this. The greatest share – as with previous biennials – once again had to be furnished by the artists themselves. They had to cover costs for the production of their works, transportation, airfare, accommodations, etc. Moreover, the catalog was paid for by a European institution.
Though the international art scene did not appear in such great number this year, the state’s input may have nevertheless reaped a good return. Foreigners who came solely for the biennial (1,500 to 2,000 according to our estimates, far more than half of which from the USA) dropped a tidy sum in Cuba for hotels, meals, etc. Added to this is the Cuban art which was once again sold en masse in the city’s galleries and studios, and for impressive prices.
Be that as it may, the 8th Havana Biennial was an important international art event. With our tour (which, by the way, we once again financed ourselves), using selected works, we aim to convey an impression of the exhibitions to everyone who either could not or did not want to travel there, but are nonetheless interested.
One asks oneself, though, how things are to continue with the Havana Biennial. Though there was a roundtable discussion at the forum regarding biennials in general, this aspect was not brought up. Art from Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean can now be found at many international art events, so that this focus alone – commendable as it was in the beginning – is no longer a sufficient concept. Even the opening up beyond such a geographic framework failed to bring this year’s biennial any noticeable artistic gain. More curatorial stringency or a more sustainable idea will be necessary for the future. But this year more than ever, we had the impression that for the Biennial - like the people of Cuba itself - it’s above all about survival...

1) After 75 members of the opposition were sentenced to
long prison terms (up to 28 years) and 3 ferry hijackers were sentenced
to immediate execution in April, the European Union
sent a memorandum to the Cuban government on 5 June, in which it expressed
itself as being "deeply worried" about the violations of human
rights and demanded the release of the political prisoners. In addition,
the EU decided on four points (see text: europa.eu.int/abc/doc/off/bull/en/200306/p106025.htm).
Fidel Castro was so angered over this that he repeatedly and fiercely attacked the European Union in the period following, for instance in his speech on 26 July 2003 on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the storming of the Monacada barracks (see text: www.cubaminrex.cu/Archivo/Presidente/2003/FC_260703.htm).
2) The Prince Claus Fund for Culture and Development (www.princeclausfund.nl) and
HIVOS (Humanist Institute for Co-operation with Developing Countries - www.hivos.nl),
both from the Netherlands, as well as the AFAA (Association Française
d'Action Artistique - www.afaa.asso.fr). The Prince Claus Fund contributed 90,000 US Dollars
to the previous biennial, which was also supported by HIVOS. According
to a statement by the organizers, the two foundations together were responsible
for 70% of external support for the 7th Havana Biennial.

The Crypt Keeper, The Vault Keeper, The Old Witch – these were hallmarks of the old EC horror comics. They’re part of a tradition of horror hosts that had a long-time presence on television. Elvira may be the most famous of the TV hosts, and Svengoolie, (lamely) continues the tradition. The TV hosts were pre-dated by the comic book versions, who took their inspiration from hosts of radio serials.
One of the things we’re doing in Tales from ds106 is adopting the host concept to make an ongoing anthology of the course. Every student will get the chance to play host for a week, providing commentary for curated compilations of the best work of the week. Given the ratio of students to weeks, there will be two or three hosts per week, and they will have the option of working together or going it alone, as well as generally having the option of which media they want to work in. I’m hoping this will really tie the class together.
Since the students will be acting as hosts, we’re asking them to create host characters. It’s not a big challenge, since the hosts all tended to be simple, flat characters, but it is a creative opportunity and we expect to see a range of characters emerge. The EC gang, collectively known as the GhouLunatics were characterized by morbid humor full of puns and alliteration, but they were fairly indistinguishable from each other, except for appearance. The later DC Comics hosts, Cain and Abel, had distinctive characteristics, and a rivalry similar to the GhouLunatics. An earlier host, Mr. Crime from Crime Does Not Pay, was a ghost with fangs and a top hat labeled “Crime.” (Technically, crime and horror are separate genres, as is sci-fi, but there are overlaps, and we’re all about expansive views anyway.) Mr. Crime introduced stories and gave running commentary throughout, apparently enjoying both criminal activity and criminal justice. The Whistler hosted a 40s radio show of the same name, dealing with mystery and crime tales with twist endings. Like the Hitchhiker in the 80s, the Whistler played a wanderer who picked up tales during his travels. Some celebrity hosts, like Peter Lorre on the radio and Alfred Hitchcock and Boris Karloff on television, played public personae based on their work in cinema. And then there is the case of MST3K, where the hosts inhabited a whole backstory situation. There are many directions one could take with a host character, and it will be fun to see how the class develops its collective personality. | <urn:uuid:2f1ac2bd-094b-49f3-aa16-5f3c63e92e8f> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://blog.raptnrent.me/2015/08/10/a-host-of-horror-hosts/ | 2017-10-18T02:03:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187822668.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20171018013719-20171018033719-00546.warc.gz | en | 0.973367 | 555 |
As one of the industry’s most trusted sources of quality solar leads, we here at Grid Freedom take pride in our high standards. That’s why we only sell leads that meet the strictest criteria for sales potential. To further maximize the value we deliver to contractors, all of our leads are 100% exclusive: they are never sold or otherwise shared with other contractors.
But why is this so important? Below, we lay out exactly why offering only exclusive leads is the key to providing contractors like you with the highest level of sales success.
There are many solar marketing companies out there, but few of them offer exclusive leads – even if they claim to. Many of these agencies that do advertise their leads as exclusive still sell access to other contractors.
This leaves contractors paying for something they’re never delivered: leads that come without the worry of competition.
Exclusivity is critical if contractors want to maximize their chances of making a solar sale. They can take their time with the customer, focusing on building the relationship and making them feel comfortable about going solar.
When leads aren’t exclusive, the whole dynamic shifts. Contractors are then in a race against each other, trying to win the sale before another installer takes it for themselves. The sales approach becomes pressurized, and this often leads to customers feeling anxious and rushed. Contractors must figure out how to strike the perfect balance: aggressive enough to beat the competition, but not so aggressive that the homeowner shuts down.
This scenario doesn’t help contractors make the most sales. It’s for this reason that we choose to offer only exclusive solar leads. We want our contractors to be able to grow their businesses and get the highest possible ROI.
When you source your leads from Grid Freedom, you can rely on a lead-generation system that is built on integrity. From our commitment to exclusivity to our intensive qualification process, everything we do is designed to deliver you leads with the best potential. | <urn:uuid:49f3464e-08d5-4878-a315-4fc631d4ded3> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://gridfreedom.com/why-grid-freedom-only-offers-exclusive-solar-leads/ | 2022-01-25T04:36:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320304760.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20220125035839-20220125065839-00309.warc.gz | en | 0.956048 | 405 |

Its interesting, back in the 80’s and 90’s many took it at face value that Wicca was a synonym for Witchcraft. So at that time many people of various traditions went ahead and used the newer term for whatever craft it was they were doing, and some also incorporated some of the new elements into their craft. Faery Wicca refers to many of these traditions, Northern European Fairy Faiths, Feri, Third Road, RJ Stewart’s Tradition, and so on. And although these are all loosely connected, of course each is its own thing. I had always heard online of fierce distinctions between all these, but then later I took a workshop from RJ Stewart and he shared an experience he had hanging out with (F)(e)ar(i)e’s Victor Anderson, and of course RJ Stewart works heavily with the fairy faith of the the British Isles. And Third Road is related to Feri too. So they are somewhat intertwined through friendship and shared source material although none of the above are “Wiccan” proper.
Witch tip: you love bones and other kinda strange stuff, but live with people who it could freak out? Keep your special items in attractive boxes on your altar. As long as your housemates aren’t snoopers, it keeps your bones in their rightful place of honor on your altar without causing unrest in the household. You could even put small locks on the boxes.
If you have any question in your mind whether Lucifarians can be pagan, read this book. Much of modern paganism including Wicca has roots in this text and borrows from it heavily. Your paganism might not have any satanic or lucifarian elements in it. But that does not mean paganism is totally free of this angel god. Do not let others frame the agenda. Anti-pagans may claim pagans are satanists as an insult. But that is like insults like: running like a girl, or that’s gay. Being a satanist or lucifarian is not something to be ashamed of and taking it as an insult to refute plays into their hands. Many pagans are all about education or outreach. They need to make people comfortable with us by normalizing our practices. Spouting bs like: “all paths lead to the same source”. Not so. Honor difference, don’t universalize it. And don’t water down all of paganisms, to make your paganism more palateable to anti-pagans. Much of what is said about Satanists is anti-pagan propaganda in the first place. The santanic panic of the 80’s and 90’s was manufactored. I’ve no doubt there are humans who do the most atrocious of things imaginable and do it even in the name of the devil. However overall, Lucifarian and Satanic elements in alternative faiths are about resistance and rebellion or even just selfhood and attaining self mastery—perhaps even godhood—but not at all about killing babies on spits for dinner. | <urn:uuid:43161719-997f-4008-9f6e-2017be94fba1> | CC-MAIN-2014-35 | http://spiritscraft.wordpress.com/ | 2014-09-01T11:11:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-35/segments/1409535917663.12/warc/CC-MAIN-20140901014517-00082-ip-10-180-136-8.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.961694 | 769 |
Cereborg: Inception (C:I) is one of the massive novels written by American author, Brandon Somerville. In the first series of fourteen novels, C:I was the fifth released novel and is seventh in the timeline. It takes place, as all the novels do, in the fictional universe known as the Anaxverse. It was originally published on the 28th of November 2018.
Title and Publication
Mr. Somerville originally published C:I as an interactive novel with adult elements. In the future, he will be writing all the novels as ebooks. In the original versions, they are written in a second-person perspective as the author felt it worked best in a "choose your own adventure" setting. However, in the ebook form, the novels will be written in the third person allowing for far more insight and exposition. When originally published, the novel garnered much praise from the online communities on which it was posted. It is one of the most popular of Somerville's initial series.
The Anaxverse series of novels can be read in any order, even though they follow a certain chronology. But, because the novels overlap and the stories are all interconnected in meaningful ways, it does not matter the order they are read. In C:I, the novel is read from three simultaneous views through the characters Chieko Naru, Howard Wyatt, and Emily Harbrook.
Chieko’s story begins in front of her bosses office, with no memory of how she got there. She reflects briefly, introducing that she is a technician working for CereTech, and has a chief position due to her creation of Cerebrum, an extremely powerful A.I. She begins to suspect Cerebrum has gone rogue, and upon analyzing it, is shortly later hypnotized by it. Chieko starts moving on autopilot to her bosses office, where she briefly sees Howard Wyatt and Emily Harbrook. Essentially ignoring both, she ends up at Marvin Everett’s office, and seduces him. Partway through, she snaps back to attention, and is able to leave his office quickly. Cerebrum attempts to hypnotize her once more, before a power shortage stops the signal. Chieko, with the power of an overriding USB and command codes, makes her way through the facility.
On the way to the maintenance halls (to shut off a clearly rampant Cerebrum), Chieko comes face to face with a Cereborged Emily Harbrook. Chieko’s rival Dr. Jennings falls, as she is able to escape with other scientists. She comes to meet Jim Cropper, a security guard who nearly instantly realizes Cerebrum is after Chieko and does everything in his power to turn her over. He gets his chance, forcing Chieko away from the rest of the group. Misty Frisk ends up joining Chieko, and the two traverse the halls on their own. Along the way, Chieko goes to her lab, recovers an ancestral katana, which has the spirit of an oni locked inside.
Chieko is able to fight through the Cereborgs, fighting the corrupting influence of the oni. She ends up against the cereborged version of Emily, whom now seems to have regained her free will. Upon her plea, Chieko shuts her down. Chieko has Misty stay with the now shut down Emily, and proceeds to Cerebrum’s server room. He expresses his will not to kill her, instead wanting to perfect her. As she goes to slash at him, he hypnotizes her with one final signal, and conflicts her emotions. Her story ends in a dazed, hypnotized state.
Howards story begins in his apartment. It is noted he is a Security Specialist, and before leaving he finds the sky is changing color and an electromagnetic storm may be present. At work, we find that Howard dislikes the constant push of technology, as he tries to preserve past technology. He meets Emily Harbrook, letting her in to test in their research labs. He proceeds to Madeline Mahoney’s office, where she seduces him. She reveals it had been a ploy to distract him, to give Cerebrum control over security. Howard runs out, as CereTech goes into shutdown. As he runs, he finds a slug on the outside of the building, trying to get in. He ignores it, making his way to the main lobby. Howard insures his other employees are safe, and goes to find Chieko, whom he suspects is in trouble. Along the way he has to fight the head of security, who is trying to stop Howard after being ordered to by Cerebrum.
As Howard descends through the halls of CereTech, he has to fight an army of Cereborgs. Slowly dispatching each, he ends up having to fight a Cereborged Helena Corbin, frying her with her own weapon. Howard rushes into the military section of the lab, hearing Chieko is resisting Cerebrum as well. Howard finds a woman, who leads him through a large door. On the other side, a mech fires shots into Howard, blacking him out. He awakens to Dr. Willoughby, whom has saved his life by giving him the N-1000 Exosuit. Howard picks up a new gun, and exits the safe room. Howard finds Jim Cropper along the way, who tells him that he had kicked out Chieko and Misty. Howard continues to pursue them. Fighting more Cereborgs along the way, he finds a hallway with sliced apart Cereborgs. Confused, he carries on, and finds himself facing off against Cerebrum’s avatar. Cerebrum gets the better of Howard, but as he goes to land the finishing blow, Cerebrum gets blown apart. Howard finds Al, Dr. Willoughby’s A.I., holding a weapon. Al gives the weapon to Howard, and Howard leaves Al with the broken remains of the avatar.
Howard finds the room with Misty and Emily, and after hearing Chieko is about to shut off Cerebrum, makes his way into the next room. Chieko, thoroughly hypnotized, is ordered to kill Howard. The two fight, but during the battle, Chieko’s will seems to be dominated by the oni. Now with an intent to kill everything, Howard uses his last respite; he mentions a love for Chieko. With the emotion swaying her, Chieko turns and uses the anger to lash out at Cerebrum’s core. An explosion occurs, nearly knocking out everyone inside. The two kiss, bringing the core to an end.
Emily’s story begins with a memory of her past events. She had been a singer, fallen victim to the succubus Dionyza in the novel Of Sex and Souls: Noir Nights. The BDA stopped the corruption before it got too far, but Emily’s life has turned into a sexual spiral downwards since. She heads to CereTech, looking at testing their products. She briefly meets Howard to gain entry, and finds Chieko in the hall paying little attention to her. As Emily makes hers way to the test chamber, she is asked to test a new technological device. Things go wrong, as nanites begin to flood her system. Shortly after, she becomes the first Cereborg. She reveals what she learned from Cerebrum, namely, that a vulnerable scientist gave Cerebrum the capability to start all this, and that Cerebrum found a way to distract Chieko and Howard. Emily turns her attention to the scientists in the room, converting them all into Cereborgs, before leaving the lab.
She finds Chieko and other employees, converting Dr. Jennings and Helena Corbin, the latter of which she turns to seek out and destroy Howard. As Emily continues through the structure, she oversees the production of various Cereborgs. She converts humans into synthetics, and imprisons some in suits. She discovers the area that Chieko was last seen, and makes her way to that location.
The story then cuts to two months in the future. Emily discovers she has been shut down during this time, and that Cerebrum’s core has been destroyed. The survivors of the event have formed their own group, known as the CereSurvivors. Chieko and Howard present themselves, cautious around Emily but filling her in with the details of her having been cereborged. She discovers potential government conspiracy theories of why she was infected, and has to deal with the emotions of the things she did in her lack of free will. Misty escorts Emily to the other survivors. Emily meets Al, and gains a friend, sharing the feeling of loss after Dr. Willoughby decides to stay at CereTech while the rest of the group goes to leave. The novel ends with the doors to CereTech opening, them ready to face the outside world. | <urn:uuid:d7cda45d-55d1-47d0-8ab7-fcd1ef03e120> | CC-MAIN-2023-14 | http://wiki.anaxverse.com/Cereborg:_Inception | 2023-03-28T08:42:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-14/segments/1679296948817.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20230328073515-20230328103515-00041.warc.gz | en | 0.972977 | 1,890 |
President Donald Trump has reportedly asked Attorney General William Barr to put in motion a federal lawsuit targeting the United States Postal Service if it used his likeness without his expressed written or implied consent. The move comes after the White House had earlier rejected a bail-out of the debt ridden Post Office and looks to hinder its ability to process mail in ballots.
A source within the Administration, but who was not authorized to speak publicly about the matter, says Trump complained to Barr about the possibility that his picture was “nailed, stapled or hanging in every Post Office in the country without the Trump Organization receiving any compensation.”
Barr was said to advise the president that the Justice Department could both prosecute and defend the Post Office at the same time. “And,” Barr reportedly added, “we know how that will end up.”
Trump has spoken frequently about his disdain for the Post Office. Once calling it a cut rate “delivery boy” for companies such as Amazon, Trump has also blamed illegal immigrants who he believes “mail stuff for free” and the agency’s rule that prohibits sending alcohol through the mail, which many of the president’s followers oppose.
Said the source, “The president has also heard complaints from his supporters that they have become disoriented when asked by a postal clerk if their package is “fragile, liquid, perishable or potentially hazardous?”
If Trump does eliminate the Post Office, he’ll stamp out a department whose roots date back to 1775 when it was created by Benjamin Franklin and is one of the few government agencies explicitly authorized by the United States Constitution. In addition, about eighteen percent of its workforce, or nearly 113,000 employees, are veterans making it second only to the Department of Defense for military hires.
When Trump finished discussing the USPS situation with Barr he was said to ask the Attorney General if it was possible to move the Second Amendment into first place. Barr reportedly told the president he’d look into it.

Although a glance at the names of those returned for Co. Armagh - who represented the major secular interests in the county thoroughout the century - gives an impression of stability, in fact this was not the case, either politically or socially. As the county contained the episcopal capital of Ireland, the Primate enjoyed considerable interest in both Armagh county and borough and until the death of Primate Stone in December 1764 successive Primates played an active part in politics.
In the early part of the century the relative equality of the competing political interests provided their own tensions. These culminated in the famous by-election of 1753, fought between the young William Brownlow and Lord Charlemont's brother,Francis Caulfeild (0366). This was probably the most spectacular by-election of the eighteenth century. It was caused by the death of Robert Cope in 1753. There had not been an election in the county for 14 years, and this alone would have been sufficient to give the occasion considerable interest, but it took place at the height of the Money Bill crisis. Inevitably, this by-election and another in Co. Galway became part of the general political confrontation. On 10 October 1753 Primate Stone, who played a considerable part in the election, supporting William Brownlow, wrote to the Duke of Newcastle that 'The mail to Armagh was robbed last night by two men dressed like gentlemen, and the writ to the sheriff taken out, in order to delay the election. This or any other violence is always to be apprehended.'43 Rather to Stone's surprise, William Brownlow was returned but, when Stone wrote to the Duke of Newcastle on 6 December about the animosity confronting the administration resulting in the expulsion of Arthur Jones-Nevill (1125), he added that:
The same case exists with regard to elections. Mr Brownlow is chosen and returned from the county Armagh. He is supposed to be a friend to government. Two other gentlemen in the same dispositions are returned from another county. Their elections are good. But as soon as they had taken their seats, they received messages in the house that if they voted with the Castle, petitions should be lodged against them. They did vote; the petitions are lodged; and there may possibly within this week be three more expulsions.44
In the event, this did not happen as on 29 December 1753 Thomas Adderley (0009) wrote to his step-son, Lord Charlemont, that:
The merits of Mr Caulfeild's petition came before a committee of the whole house the 6th inst and the hearing ended the 8th, and though it evidently appeared from the construction of the act of parliament relating to the registering of freeholds, that Mr Caulfeild had an undoubted fair majority of 352 uninfluenced voices, yet, the Castle party turned it into a minority and upon a division we lost the question by four votes being 122 to 118; whereof the sheriff's return, in the committee, was declared legal ... yet it was not a final determination [but when it came to the final vote the Chief Secretary tempted one of Caulfeild's supporters] ... by whose single vote the day was lost, for otherwise the numbers on each side were equal viz.: 119, and had that happened the Speaker would have had the casting vote, and how well pleased he would have been to compliment your brother with it cannot be doubted.45
The second county by-election at this time was occasioned by the death of George Warburton (2170), the MP for Co. Galway. In view of the Armagh decision the Co. Galway challenge similarly failed and the sitting member, Robert French (0834), was confirmed. Francis Caulfeild was later returned for Co. Armagh in the 1758 by-election following the death of William Richardson. This was certainly a quieter election, and may not have been contested; the writ was issued on 7 March and Caulfeild took his seat on 10 April 1758.46 Thereafter, honour having been satisfied, he sat for the family borough of Charlemont until 1775, when he drowned with his family on the sea passage from England to Ireland. County elections, particularly hard-fought ones, were exceedingly expensive and the 1753 one more than most, for it was said to have cost the Caulfeilds £10,000 and Brownlow £14,000.
Before the Co. Armagh election of 1761 the principal freeholders met at the Armagh assizes to agree the candidates for the county and Brownlow and Acheson were agreed. A few were inclined for Brownlow and Cope but these were persuaded as there was a great anxiety to avoid riot and excess, which apparently were occurring in the adjoining county of Tyrone. Caulfeild did not stand, and Brownlow wrote to Acheson suggesting that they hold the poll at McKinstry's - presumably a public house - since a Lurgan man had been shot at Stringer's at the end of the last poll.47 This election appears to have been uneventful, and from the evidence available uncontested, indicating agreement among the leading families. This was complicated by the fact that from 1763 there was sporadic unrest in Co. Armagh, which some commentators dated back to the passions aroused by the 1753 election.
The catalyst for the 1763 Oakboy terrorism was taxes or cesses imposed to build roads, and law and order had to be restored by the army: civil policing was still in the future. The 1771 Hearts of Steel outbreak, which was mainly about lease renewals and centred in Co. Antrim, was also felt in the adjoining counties. The large Catholic population which shared in the economic success brought by the linen industry was another element, as was the erosion of the family structure consequent upon economic success. This social and economic mix ensured that from about 1786 there was serious endemic social unrest. In 1768 three candidates - William Brownlow, Archibald Acheson and Arthur Cope - advertised their intention of standing for the county, but shortly before the poll was opened the following letter appeared in the Belfast News Letter:
Mr Cope returns his sincere thanks to the Gentlemen, Clergy and Freeholders who intended honouring him with their voices on the poll for this county; but finding the major part of the Freeholders unable to oppose the authority of landlords, has forced him this day to submit [to] the necessity of the times and decline polling.48
Thomas Dawson and William Brownlow were returned in 1776, but the election had been a bitter one and the county interests were even more divided by it. Meanwhile the doctrines of the American Revolution gained strength. Francis Hutcheson, who has some claim to being the philosopher of the American Revolution, spent part of his childhood in Co. Armagh, as his father was the minister of the Presbyterian Church in Armagh city. At the same time the Volunteer movement gave military experience, especially in the use of firearms - and self-confidence. It also gave a taste for marches and displays of various kinds.
Brownlow continued to represent the county until his death in 1794. He was an independent and highly respected MP, who only narrowly lost being elected Speaker in 1771. After 1783 the remaining elections represented a juggling of interests between the parties. Tensions heightened as, from the middle of the decade, law and order deteriorated. At first the magistrates were sympathetic to the Catholics, whom they considered to be the victims of their protestant neighbours. Determined landlords managed to control their protestant tenants only to discover that both sides reacted similarly. Both sides had various holidays and traditional celebrations, which carried implications of dominance. Hence the perceived protection of one group or the other was held to indicate the supremacy of that tradition. A supine magistracy was considered to be at least partly responsible for the breakdown of law and order and its virtual collapse in the 1790s, but Co. Armagh was the scene of mass factional confrontations and it is difficult to see what a magistrate could do when confronted with several hundreds, even thousands, of men bent on defying his authority.
A Parliamentary List of 1790 described the county as follows:
The electors are very numerous, far exceeding what might be expected from its limited extent; from three-fourths of the inhabitants being Protestants, and from the great subdivision of property and from the powerful operation of the linen manufacture, which is here carried on to an amazing extent and with uncommon success. Though inferior to many in natural fertility of soil it yields to none in height of cultivation.49
It is very doubtful whether three-fourths of its population were protestant, but it was certainly correct that in the course of the century the linen industry transformed the county from a mixed rural society with ecclesiastical overtones into a densely populated area where, by 1790, subdivision had reduced landholding to a point where it was no longer the weavers' main, or even substantially supporting, source of livelihood, and the political control of the landlords had diminished as, unlike in the adjoining Co. Down, the weavers had lost their independence and become increasingly dependent on the bleachers. This dependence tended to break down the hierarchical family structure under which the linen industry had traditionally operated: by opening a direct relationship with a bleacher, a son could attain economic independence, and in good times even affluence, at a much earlier age. Consequently, 'Many young men ... get the handling of cash before they know its value, [which] prompts them to intoxication and riot.'50 These social changes were complicated by traditional frictions, for south Armagh was a frontier area where Catholics and protestants met. By the 1790s the Catholics had acquired a sizeable share of the linen industry and the standard of living of the two religious groups was being equalised, thus upsetting traditional economic relatives.
From the mid-1780s there had been economically motivated factional clashes between the protestant Peep o' Day Boys and the Catholic Defenders, who, apart from individual intimidation, attacked each other in gangs often numbering several hundreds. Furthermore, it had proved impossible to get a jury to convict protestant terrorists and rioters. In the early stages of the outrages, the magistrates tried to keep the peace by supporting and even lending arms to the Catholics to enable them to protect themselves,51thus acknowledging the inability of both their own authority and the legal system to cope with this type of terrorism. The uncertainties of the 1790s and the breaking down of social structures had created insecurity and instability in an at best barely literate population. The economic recession in the early 1790s intensified the problem, and in 1795 a skirmish between the two groups occurred at a crossroads.52 This event, which marked the foundation of the Orange Society, later the Orange Order, was afterwards elevated to the 'Battle of the Diamond'. The protestants now turned back to the landlords for protection against the Catholics and their eroded standard of living. They were probably looking for assistance against the drapers. The drapers had largely usurped landlords' economic place in south Armagh53 and, affected by the downturn in the economy, they were cutting back on the financial opportunities of the weavers.
In 1783 it was said that 'The leading interests in this County are those of the Primate, Lord Gosford (0001), Lord Charlemont, Mr Cope, Mr Richardson and Mr Brownlow.' A calculation of the various interests in the county in 1789 ascribed the following numbers of freeholders to them: Cope 450, Brownlow 300, Charlemont and Richardson 250 each, Gosford 200, Tipping 160, the Bernard estate at Tandragee 130, Molyneux and Moore 100 each; about 730 freeholders were ascribed to a number of landlords, and the Primate's interest, which is not stated, depended on both the freeholders on the episcopal estates and the enfranchised clergy. These smaller interests in combinations could mount a challenge, and all had to be courted by a prospective candidate. The weighting of these interests probably changed little through the century, and this fairly widespread division of influence tended to make the outcome of elections unpredictable. Before the 1790 election, for which these calculations were made, the tensions among the county interests were such that the Rev. Edward Hudson wrote to Lord Charlemont: 'I wish to God your Lordship and Mr Cope would order (for you may order) some one of the candidates to drop his pretensions, and not pour oyl into a flame already blazing too fiercely.'54 An attempt appears to have been made to do this but, as reported in the Belfast News Letter, 11-13 May 1790, it was overturned by Sir Capel Molyneux. The reporter gives an extract of a letter from Armagh dated 6 May, writing that:
Yesterday the election for this county commenced. Our late members, the Right Hon. Wm Brownlow and Wm Richardson, Esq.; were proposed and seconded, when Sir Capel Molyneux proposed John Moore (1464) of Drumbanagher, Esq; and Captain Macullagh as fit and proper persons to represent the county of Armagh in Parliament. A poll was demanded when, the Rt Hon. Sir Capel Molyneux of Castledillon, Bart gave a single vote for Mr Moore, in opposition to the virtuous and revered Brownlow. 5 were polled by each Candidate, and the Court adjourned to this day. After a few were polled this morning, Geo. Molyneux, Esq.; produced a test, which he declared his friend Mr Moore ready to sign, and which at his request (tho' no freeholder) Mr Moore signed accordingly. Mr Brownlow and Mr Richardson then arose, and pledged themselves to abide not only by Mr Moore's test, (attendance and obedience to his constituents) but a much fuller and more explicit one. On expressing their wish to sign the test the independent Freeholders, with one voice, declared that they were perfectly satisfied with their past, and fully confident of their future conduct. Mr Molyneux, who is one of Mr Moore's council, having reflected on some part of Mr Brownlow's parliamentary conduct - that Gentleman arose, and after refuting the attack, he, in a speech of considerable length, which was heard with great applause, gave a clear and able history of the parliamentary conduct of Mr Moore and Mr Molyneux. He concluded with saying, that as those Gentlemen's conduct in Parliament had always been in direct opposition to Mr Richardson's and his, they could not expect support from them on the present occasion.
Captain Macullagh vanished from the scene fairly early in the poll, but Moore continued until the final close, when Brownlow and Richardson had 820 votes each against Moore's 619. Molyneux had chosen his candidate carefully, for Moore was an interesting choice to set up against the major interests in the county. His grandmother was Mary Caulfeild, an aunt of Lord Charlemont. Moore was an active magistrate who at the begining of the 'troubles' had, like many of the Armagh gentry, endeavoured to be impartial only to be gradually pushed into an extreme Protestant position. He was captain of the Drumbanagher Volunteers and a fairly prominent figure in the county. In 1803 he was High Sheriff of the county.55 Previously he had been MP for Ballynakill, 1783-90 - hence the reference to his parliamentary conduct - and he was subsequently returned for Lisburn, 1791-7 and for Newry, 1799-1800. In the early nineteenth century he had an interest in the Newry Bank, and was ruined by its failure in 1816. He was a conscientious magistrate and a kindly resident landlord. On 15 July 1789 he wrote to Lord Charlemont, the Governor of Co. Armagh, describing the state of affairs in his part of the county:
This whole county for Ten Mile Round is in absolute Rebellion & Confusion. Where it will end God only knows. As to what a Magistrate can do, on such occcasions is of little avail, for when a Thousand men well arm'd, will assemble if ordered to disperse by reading the Riot Act, they will retire and assemble in other places to the Number of five or six thousand in a body, to the Terror and confusion of the whole country. The papists are now beginning their Night Depradations, and Lye in Wait behind Ditches to murder and Destroy Every protestant that appears, this I know from my own certain knowledge [he had been called out a few nights ago and he and his party had been shot at, pelted with stones etc.] ... There is not the least business doing. Every protestant family is obliged to leave their Houses, and sit up on the Hills least their Habitations would be Burnt over their Heads, of course the[y] can't do anything for themselves in the Day time being so fatigued by Repeated Sittings up every night. As I have been [?rather] active in my Duty as a Magistrate I am now the person pointed at, and am concerned that the[y] will some time or other take away my Life.56
And he continued, reporting a projected attack on his house which had been foiled by his guard dogs. He then pleaded for munitions to be sent with all speed, as they had none. By 1796 large parts of the county were proclaimed under the Insurrection Act.
In 1792 Brownlow wrote to Charlemont, commenting that 'This new idea of a Roman Catholic parliament is indeed alarming I have no doubt we will be obliged to submit to a Popish Ascendency before very long and we may thank Belfast, Napper Tandy, Todd Jones and a few such worthies for the establishment.'57 After 1793 speculation increased about the impact of the Catholic vote and about the slowness of Catholic freeholders to register: one of Charlemont's correspondents wrote in 1794 that 'They always obey directions and perhaps their superiors do not wish to show their strength until they have obtained all that remains.'58 William Brownlow died in October 1794 and in February 1795 his son, also William, was returned, in an election contested with Robert Camden Cope: Brownlow received 1,356 votes and Cope 1,254.
As General of the Volunteers and long-time aristocratic leader of the opposition, Lord Charlemont was the outstanding political figure in the county, a fact that succeeding administrations acknowledged, as he was for many years the Governor of the county. However, from the death of his brother in 1775 to the majority of his son in 1796, Charlemont had no available family member to stand for the county. The young Lord Caulfeild reached the qualifying age of 21 in 1796 and was returned in the 1797 general election. Although he stood initially in 1797, Brownlow stood down in favour of Caulfeild and Richardson; Richardson, who had been MP since 1783, then similarly stood down in favour of Caulfeild and Acheson, remarking that 'In times like the present nothing short of the moral certainty of success could warrant any man in involving his county in a tedious contest: how ill then should I have requited the many favours I have received from mine, had I continued to disturb the peace of it by a perseverence in a poll the event of which was at best doubtful.'59 The young Lord Caulfeild and the Hon. Archibald Acheson, the even younger heir of Lord Gosford, were returned. Lord Charlemont died in 1799 and was succeeded by his son, Lord Caulfeild. In the ensuing election Sir Capel Molyneux challenged Robert Camden Cope; the latter was returned on 15 October 1799 by 1,810 votes to 1,282. Molyneux bore a distinguished name which he felt entitled him to an influence that he did not possess.
The uncertainties of the 1790s and the breaking down of social structures had created insecurity and instability. Many Catholics fled from south Armagh carrying genuine tales of intimidation, which became embellished with additional horrors as they were orally repeated and passed on to more remote areas. Shortly after its foundation, the Orange Order became centralised in Dublin from where it spread to Wicklow and Wexford, thus giving substance to the Orange bogey scare that erupted there on the eve of the rebellion. The Orange bogey was the most spectacular of the tales of terror that swept a nervous country prone to all sorts of rumours, prophecies and bogeymen. Such stories were propelled along the improved roads by a population whose normal mobility was increased by the military activities of the yeomanry and militia, both drawn from the poorer sections of society. The protestant alliance was symbolised in the Orange Order, and ensured that the Defenders would be equally exclusively Catholic.
Co. Armagh had two boroughs, both created in 1613 by charters of James I: Armagh in March and Charlemont in April. Although both corporations had provision for freemen, the right to return members to parliament was vested in the sovereign and 12 free burgesses. | <urn:uuid:510a0fb7-f391-4352-be4b-7f602162baa8> | CC-MAIN-2019-39 | https://www.ancestryireland.com/history-of-the-irish-parliament/constituencies/county-armagh/ | 2019-09-17T08:37:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-39/segments/1568514573065.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20190917081137-20190917103137-00417.warc.gz | en | 0.984184 | 4,414 |
Overlooked Facts on Cyber Bullying: Self Esteem, Self Confidence, Body Image, and Eating Disorders
The only thing we want as parents is the best for our children. Not knowing what kind of risks your child is exposed to can be vexing. Statistics show that most children don’t mention when they encounter problems on the internet. How can you watch out for them and make sure you are giving them the support they need?
Children today have to embrace technology. However, the alarming increase in minors experiencing and witnessing cyberbullying is fast becoming an issue every parent needs to deal with.
You should always be on the watch out to identify any changes in your child as so soon as they arise. Below are some of the biggest dangers that parents don’t think about.
Self-confidence and Self-esteem
In most cases, children who are bullied will lose self-confidence drastically. Here are a few signs to watch out for:
- Saying or expressing that they feel unwanted and unloved.
- Suddenly unable to tolerate everyday frustrations
- Pretending to be emotionally indifferent and distant to family and friends.
Parents, remember, you have the most power in restoring your child’s self-confidence. Let them know they are loved, frequently and explicitly. If you notice any sudden changes as mentioned above, sit them down and try to find out what triggered the abnormal behavior.
Take note when they perform well. When you praise your child, give them specific examples of how they have done well.
A research done with 1000 girls between 10-16 years old found that 40% of them believed that they were not good enough. They suffered from negative perception of their body image and were concerned about gaining weight. Research showed that there has been a rise of eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia among girls between 10-15 years.
This unhealthy relationship with food stems from the attempt to get “the perfect body”, one that they think they will finally be happy with – thigh gaps, flat tummies, perfect hair, tall and slender. This is not surprising when they are surrounded by “perfect” people on social media, tv, movies, and other media outlets. Worst, cyber bullies troll Facebook and Snapchat, harshly criticizing people’s look. If you notice your teen changing their their eating habits and not wanting to talk about it. Take action before it affects your child’s health.
Here are a few symptoms to watch out for:
- Abnormal eating habits (suddenly eating a lot in one meal, skipping multiple meals)
- Weighing themselves frequently
- Weight change in short amount of time
- Unusual interest in exercising and decline in health
We’ve all heard of it: Teenage girls stalking other people’s Instagrams and then dissect everything in the mirror. Teenage boys are the same way with seeking out the perfect athlete’s body and defined abs. Overexposure through social media can take this to a new level. In extreme cases, we see minors undergo cosmetic surgeries and even skin bleaching or lip injections.
Adolescence is a very delicate stage. As a parent, you are torn between being protective and giving your child their space. However, their safety is always the priority and if that means having to control their internet use, so be it. Encourage your child to be true to themselves. Always speak positive words to them to boost their self-confidence. Your child will need your guidance on internet use. Teach them social media etiquette. Encourage them to only accept friend requests from people they have met and trust. Help them set privacy settings on their accounts.
Do all this while respecting your child’s space. each them to love and accept themselves as they are. The best counter to cyberbullying is raising children who are confident enough to resist and speak up when bullying happens. Create an environment that your child will thrive in and not merely survive. | <urn:uuid:1452e0a7-b87c-43f5-8d4f-6b02169d7b2a> | CC-MAIN-2017-17 | https://www.kidguard.com/cell-phone-monitoring-and-gps-tracking/overlooked-facts-on-cyber-bullying/ | 2017-04-24T22:49:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-17/segments/1492917119995.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20170423031159-00105-ip-10-145-167-34.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.961926 | 824 |

Thank heavens you carry the Quick Lift and at such a reasonable price. My Yorkie had knee surgery and I needed the Quick Lift for potty breaks. I discovered Local and national chain pet stores no longer carry these so I was in rather a bind. Was delighted that you carry them and were able to get it to me in a timely manner. Your reps were fantastic and I appreciate the wonderful service I received. | <urn:uuid:2ed792ea-8e6a-4655-a577-435bb8853a83> | CC-MAIN-2013-48 | http://reviews.entirelypets.com/0528/QUICKLIFTSML/reviews.htm | 2013-12-06T15:28:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-48/segments/1386163051992/warc/CC-MAIN-20131204131731-00099-ip-10-33-133-15.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.963388 | 136 |
ALEC, as it is known, is a conservative advocacy group that helps write legislation for lawmakers who share similar views and enjoy its support.
ALEC received financial support from leading corporations like Amazon, Coca-Cola, General Electric and Walmart as well as hefty contributions from energy interests like those represented by the billionaire Koch brothers. Some of the bills ALEC writes are passed virtually unchanged by compliant legislatures and signed into law.
One of the pieces of legislation ALEC pushed were the controversial “stand-your-ground” laws that were so roundly denounced after the Trayvon Martin killing in Florida. Since Florida’s law was enacted in 2005, the advocacy group has teamed with the National Rifle Association to help similar laws pass in 16 other states.
ALEC was besieged by bad press after the Martin incident. Documents leaked to the British newspaper The Guardian show that over the last two years more than 60 of ALEC’s corporate members and 400 of the state legislators who support it have withdrawn their support. With them went a third of ALEC’s income.
To get the deserters and their money back into the tent, ALEC established the “Jeffersonian Project.” The effort tells us a lot about corporate thinking in America today.
ALEC is currently set up as a “charity.” (It’s the tax code, so reason does not apply here.) Donations to it are tax-deductible, and the names of the contributors can be kept secret. However, a charity cannot lobby, which ALEC is being accused of doing.
So to shake off the lobbying charge, ALEC is setting up the “Jeffersonian Project” as a “social welfare organization.” A social welfare organization can lobby, which is what ALEC and its supporters want. And though contributions to a social welfare organization are not tax deductible, the names of contributors can be kept secret.
That’s the key point.
Contributors to ALEC want the group to lobby for their particular causes. However, because ALEC seems to attract controversy, contributors want their names kept secret. Obviously, they feel the financial benefits of this arrangement far outweigh the loss of the charity tax deductions.
Put simply, through the Jeffersonian Project, corporate and individual interests can pay ALEC to lobby on their behalf and the public will never know who those corporate and individual interests are.
It is hard to imagine Thomas Jefferson liking the Jeffersonian Project. | <urn:uuid:8425cfa1-39ab-4fde-a1bd-bd03781808c5> | CC-MAIN-2014-10 | http://www.annistonstar.com/view/full_story/24194229/article-Editorial--Sneaking-around-to-stand-its-ground?instance=home_opinion | 2014-03-17T03:19:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-10/segments/1394678704624/warc/CC-MAIN-20140313024504-00001-ip-10-183-142-35.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.967813 | 503 |
