According to the Elections Act, Lederer’s decision rendered Opitz’s election “null and void,” which means he has lived in a legal grey zone, serving his constituents in limbo while the top court considered his appeal.
Justice Lederer ruled that the election should be tossed because the Liberal incumbent, Borys Wrzesnewskyj managed to prove that at least 79 votes in the riding were irregular, and should not have been counted, or at least did not have the appropriate paperwork to show they should have been counted.
Wrzesnewskyj, a determined man, has spent about $350,000 on his court challenge. He has alleged in the media that there were shady doings on election day, but he did not assert that in court, and Lederer noted that “there was no suggestion of any wrongdoing on the part of either the applicant or the respondent.”
In court, Wrzesnewskyj’s lawyers agreed to consider just 10 of 130 polls in the riding, and managed to show that 79 ballots were in boxes without proper paperwork. It appears that at least five people voted twice.
None of this suggests wrongdoing on the part of Opitz, who spent 33 years in the Canadian Forces, retiring as a lieutenant-colonel.
When the justices release their decision Thursday morning, one of the two men is going to have a terrible day.
The justices will either rule that Lederer erred in law, in which case Opitz is likely to serve until the next election, or they will uphold Lederer, which means the prime minister has six months to set a date for a byelection, and Opitz and Wrzesnewskyj will likely have a rematch.
Court watchers can’t guess which way the court will go.
The act requires the court to “hear the appeal without delay and in a summary manner.” Opitz’s legal team, playing for time, sought to have the case heard in October, but the court agreed to sit in July, which is unusual, and they have produced a decision in what is, for them, short order.
To overturn an election, the Elections Act puts up a two-part test, requiring an applicant to first show that there were irregularities, and second that those irregularities “affected the result of the election.”
Opitz beat Wrzesnewskyj by just 26 votes, which makes that the “magic number,” a number easily surpassed by the 79 votes.
The “magic number” test has been the established standard in Canadian courts for decades, but the top court has never ruled on it.
In his appeal, Opitz’s lawyer, Tom Barlow, argued that that test is wrong, since there is no way of knowing how many of those 79 votes were cast for each candidate.
He also argued that Lederer erred in ruling some of the votes invalid, and warned that interpreting the law to make it too easy to overturn the result opens the door to mischief makers who could game the system by improperly voting and then launching an appeal.
Some observers are nervous that if the court rules for Wrzesnewskyj, it will set the bar too low, and allow all sorts of election results to be challenged. Others worry that if the court rules for Opitz, it will set the bar too high, and allow elections to be stolen.
Everyone, including the people who run Elections Canada, think the organization needs to work harder at training and directing their huge army of one-day election workers, which is easier said than done.
The court faces, as Lederer wrote, “a conundrum.”
“At its core, this case concerns the confidence that Canadians must have in our electoral process. If that confidence is diminished, it follows that our interest in, and respect for, government will be similarly diminished. It surely follows that if people who are not qualified to vote were permitted to do so, or if there is a concern that people may have been permitted to vote more than once, confidence in our electoral process will fade.”
Thursday morning, we will see how the Supremes cope with that conundrum.
Veteran election lawyer Jack Siegel, who is a Liberal, and is pulling for Wrzesnewskyj, said Wednesday that the ruling will be good news, whichever way it goes.
“The plus side is, after 145 years of confederation, we’re finally going to have word from on high as to how these disputes are actually supposed to work.” | <urn:uuid:dd4ccabc-249c-4c04-84ce-a70d631558e0> | CC-MAIN-2018-13 | http://o.canada.com/news/top-court-faces-a-conundrum-in-etobicoke-centre?comment=true | 2018-03-18T13:56:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-13/segments/1521257645775.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20180318130245-20180318150245-00495.warc.gz | en | 0.97909 | 954 |

Shillong Lajong FC, added yet another trophy in their already bursting cabinet with a ‘nerve-racking’, yet stupendous, 3-2 win over tournament favourites and A-League club Wellington Phoenix to lift the North East Lajong Super Series 2012.
This was IT! The Mother of all victories, the zenith of all The Club’s most memorable moments, and for the thousands who thronged the Nehru Stadium, it was sight like no other. To watch their local heroes stand toe to toe to their much fancied opponents, matching punch for punch, fighting their hearts out, and in the process, recreating the magic which had been associated with Shillong Lajong Football Club.
For all the hype that Wellington Phoenix had generated in the League round from its two ‘cakewalk’ victories over Shillong Lajong FC and United Sikkim, the people of the town feared the worst when the referee blew the kickoff whistle of the match. And their fears were well founded when the visiting side found the back of the net, with yet another Jeremy Brockie goal, coming from a 5th minute set piece. The Reds though knew, that there was a ray of hope somewhere, that all was not lost. For the saga had just begun, the battle yet to be won. And the shadow of the Man Friday rose yet again to rescue the team from the pits. A touch of complacency from the Wellington Phoenix side in the 27th minute was all it took for Friday Gbeneme, who had annihilated United Sikkim the other day, to snatch upon the loose ball and slot home the ball. The crowd erupted,as if the day had been won. And just 5 minutes later, a deafening, thunderous roar greeted Friday’s second goal-a peach of a volley past the keeper, with the home crowd up from their seats. Their fists pumped, their hearts beating, their eyes welled with tears of joy,as a sense of belief slowly settled within them. The fears now started to disappear, the ghosts of the past well and truly buried, as Wellington Phoenix tried to salvage their pride and reputation. Both teams went into the second half with the home side clinging on to their hard earned 2-1 lead.
The crowd was now restless, eager to see just how much would Shillong Lajong FC wound their dream spell and web around the Wellington team. The second half was a blur to many, as the quality of the game picked up, and took the shape of top, elitist football, at its very best. The true test of the team was now at hand, as the limits were stretched, as both teams slugged and battled for glory, to reach the final pinnacle, the final barrier.63 minutes into the match, Wellington Phoenix managed to pull one back through Paul Ifill, when he scored from the spot after a handball inside the box by Govin Singh.
Truly, this was not a match for the faint-hearted. And just when it seemed that the see-saw Epic would head into extra time, another familiar name etched his name in Shillong and the North-East Football lore forever. Boithang Haokip, the man with countless goals under his kitty, scored in what will probably be the most remembered, the most cherished goal at the Stadium, and one of the most talked about in recent times. After the ball was lobbed back into the area outside of the penalty box,it fell into Boithang’s path, who made no mistake in lining up his shot and firing a well calculated volley past the Wellington keeper,in the 84th minute.
Arms raised high, the crowd went into a frenzy, as they knew a Historic victory awaits their team.On the field, its Red and White brigade defended the goal line with their lives, as Wellington piled on wave after wave of attack, with a little over 4 minutes remaining.
The anxiety, the worry, and the pressure of the crowd and the team was released along with the referee’s final whistle ,as all was forgotten in the moment of victory.
The battle was won, the names forever to be remembered,and the match,close as it was,in the end belonged to One team. Indeed,in one moment of mesmerising magic ,Shillong Lajong had emerged victorious against Wellington Phoenix by 3 goals to 2,and the title of the “North East Lajong Super Series” Champions,with Friday Gbeneme winning the “Man of The Series” award for his 7 superb goals.

Investing for Racial Justice
Organized with Zevin Asset Management
Racial injustice is a stark reality for too many Americans and financial access is one of the main drivers of this injustice. Often overlooked and un-discussed, portfolio investments by company and fund affect equity-based outcomes. Join us to learn how your investment decisions affect communities of color, and explore practical examples from foundations and impact investors who are investing with an explicitly racial equity lens.

Organized with Energy Foundation and Surdna Foundation
Renewable energy as an asset class has seen a significant influx of capital from banks in senior debt positions and from a variety of investors in equity-based solar and wind projects. This results in a challenging environment for investors who are seeking yield. This session will explore mezzanine debt and other forms of innovative financing for renewable energy projects that provide investors with an attractive risk/reward proposition. We will also explore other bankable low carbon technologies while still providing compelling returns. Metrics and approaches to monitor and evaluate investments will also be discussed.

Impact-First Capital: Achieving Deep Impact and Moving Beyond Market-Rate Expectations
Organized with RSF Social Finance and Global Partnerships
While the broader impact investing market continues to grow, most capital deployed under the banner of "impact" still has little ability or willingness to sacrifice financial returns or to take greater risks in exchange for exceptional social performance. This makes it all the more important for truly impact-led investors to take the lead in sectors where return vs. impact trade-offs are the reality. Calling into question the conventional wisdom that demonstrating “market rate” performance is the path to scaling capital in the sector, this panel will explore how an integrated capital approach – the coordinated use of grants, loans, and other forms of strategic investment – creates deep, transformative impact. Using an array of financial tools and case studies, we will discuss how foundations and philanthropic initiatives can deepen their impact with an integrated capital approach.

Community Asset Building and MRI Performance
Organized with Swift Foundation
We begin this session with the premise that Mission-related investments are mostly characterized by top-down agency, ownership and control by the capital providers, subjugating the expertise and wisdom of communities. This panel will propose strategic approaches to mission-aligned, community-driven transformation by challenging the divine right of capital and the premise that foundations must try to maximize financial returns. We will suggest that foundations have a duty to mission when they invest, and we will explore how this approach can be economically sound through collaborative decision making and by sharing returns in ways that are proportionate to contribution. The core proposition is to redirect mission-related assets from conventional investment vehicles to mission-aligned asset-building and reinvestment in historically disenfranchised communities such as indigenous and communities of color.

Disruption in Corporate Accountability: Relational Strategies for Investor Impact
Organized with Boston Common Asset Management
For decades Responsible Investors use shareholder leverage to influence corporate and industry practices in the U.S. and globally, often in collaboration with NGOs and activists. Yet in this new era these strategies are threatened by proposals to reform access to the proxy and by a cascade of government reforms. What tools are investors using to maintain access and hold corporations accountable for their impacts? What success have foundations and other investors had with these strategies? Hear from experts in the corporate, foundation and activist worlds about what works to drive constructive change in corporations and industries.

Technology and Educational Equity
Organized with Tiedemann Wealth Management and Avivar Capital
Impact investors are increasingly examining the role of technology in the classroom. In this session, we will discuss what the classroom of tomorrow might look like and how technology crafts that vision. In particular, we will delve into the potential for technology to play a key role within the educational system by contrasting possible positive, or negative, outcomes. Finally, we will explore what the limits to technology. What other interventions are needed that technology cannot provide?

12:45 - 2:00 PM | Lunch
Special Luncheon: Impact Investing in Sustainable Land Use
A Luncheon Organized by The MacArthur Foundation
Climate change is one of the greatest and most time-urgent threats facing humanity in the 21st century, and natural climate solutions are one of humanity’s key tools for limiting and stabilizing global warming. Conventional mitigation will not be enough, and negative emissions – where carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere as it is with forests – are absolutely necessary. Responsible management of forests and agricultural land, currently the second largest contributor to GHG emissions, is essential for delivering on global climate goals. This luncheon will share how impact investors can play a role in addressing this urgent need, including how open-ended holding company structures are uniquely suited to tackling the challenge of sustainable land use, the nature and scope of the opportunity, and how philanthropic leaders are connecting impact investing and programmatic priorities to focus on this need at scale.

Climate Solutions Collaborative Meeting
Organized by Confluence Philanthropy, CREO Syndicate and Biodiversity Funders Group
While the economics clearly point to gathering momentum for the clean energy transition, barriers remain achieving the scale and pace needed to solve climate change. Philanthropic and family office investors must figure out how to overcome institutional hurdles, political barriers and poorly understood risks to achieve maximum environmental and financial impact. Join members of the Climate Solutions Collaborative (C2C) working group to explore next-level strategies for advancing climate solutions through your investment activities. We will hear insights about the latest policy developments in the climate space and explore ways for investors to engage.

Investor Alliance for Human Rights Meeting
Hosted by The Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility (ICCR)
The Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility (ICCR) is convening the Investor Alliance for Human Rights to provide a collective action platform that will consolidate and amplify investor influence on a full spectrum of human rights and labor rights issues. Given the current threats to human rights domestically and globally, coordinated action is urgently needed to continue to press companies—both leaders and laggards— to address human rights risks, and to prevent policy and regulatory rollbacks that would forestall progress on business and human rights. The new network builds on longstanding ICCR member efforts on human rights to expand investor participation, provide more strategic focus, and maximize the collective impact of the investment community on business and human rights issues. This session is for all investors who may be interested in participating with in the Alliance. Investors involved in establishing the network will discuss the goals of the Alliance, and we will hold an open forum for discussion and brainstorming on strategies to leverage the investor voice on key human rights issues.

I have found my new favorite snack!! Snyders of Hanover Eat Smart Naturals Garden Veggie Sticks!! The bag includes sticks in the flavors potato, spinach, and tomato. This is the perfect alternative to greasy potato chips for me. The best part...2 cups equals a mere 140 KCals!!! Even better than that...THE KIDS LOVE THEM!!! I found these in the organic foods section of my grocery store (Publix's Greenwise section) so I am going to assume they are fairly accessible in most grocery stores across the country.

Community leaders from around the motu converged at Tamaki Makaurau on May 6th for MNZ’s two-day Huarahi Hou Conference - Te Tiriti-based Multicultural Aotearoa towards 2040. The kaupapa for the weekend was to address concerns about immigration, settlement and colonisation from a Tiriti-based perspective, as we approach 200 years of Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
With over 100 attendees from communities in Tamaki Makaurau and around the country, these topics were discussed through a series of panels that encompassed views of academics, politicians, tangata whenua, community leaders and public servants, culminating in a Conference Declaration on the Sunday morning. Many attendees remarked on the powerful, educational and diverse nature of the whakaaro shared, and the insights granted into communities beyond their own.
- The first panel, facilitated by Professor David MacDonald and comprised of Lupematasila Misatauveve Dr Melani Anae, Tā Mark Solomon, Harry Tam, and Dr Ganesh Nana, discussed the current direction our immigration policies will take us, and an argument for a longterm Tiriti-based population strategy.
- Following this was an interview with Immigration Minister Hon Michael Wood, again facilitated by Professor MacDonald, where the Minister was asked about issues including Hate Speech and racism, Māori involvement with immigration policy and approach, infrastructure in Auckland and immigrant exploitation in the labour market.
- The second panel, facilitated by Professor James Liu and made up of speakers Butch Bradley, Dr Negar Partow, Meng Foon and Pancha Narayanan, discussed different aspects of what robust cultural infrastructure would look like in NZ to successfully support a growing and diversifying population under Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
- The last session of the day saw attendees break out into parallel sessions to reflect on the korero of the day from the perspectives of Women, Seniors, Youth and LGTBQI+ respectively. This gave attendees time to process the content of the day and understand how it may apply to the different areas of their communities.
- Tina Ngata and Paul Hunt started the Sunday off with an incredibly compelling discourse on colonisation. Tina unpacked the story and ongoing effects, trauma and inequalities of colonisation that have been internalised within the New Zealand way of life, followed by reflections from Chief Human Rights Commissioner Paul Hunt. This korero resounded with everyone in the room in a way that it was carried with us for the rest of the day.
- The second panel of the day brought stories from some of MNZ’s partners in government – Sally Clarkson from MSD and Rakesh Naidoo from NZ Police, who provided a valuable perspective on how change can be incorporated and implemented through government departments.
- Before breaking for lunch, the Conference Declaration was announcedc – a summary of the key themes and calls to action that had come from the conference. This will provide the basis for a declaration book to be published in time for MNZ’s AGM and the general election later this year.
- The final session of the conference was a political forum, where representatives from Labour, National and the Greens party were presented with a copy of the Declaration and asked to speak to the themes of the conference. Vanushi Walters, Melissa Lee and Ricardo Menèndez March all gave informative context for how their respective parties and policies could support the community’s vision for a Tiriti-based Multicultural Aotearoa.
With so much to take away from this gathering, it is MNZ’s wish to see communities bring some of the calls to action back into their spheres, and for us all to remember the shared aspirations for safe, healthy and flourishing lives for our children and grandchildren, that connect us all. MNZ will now be working with professors David MacDonald and James Liu to develop the Declaration in time to launch in September 2023. | <urn:uuid:e7d9128b-f5fd-4432-90e6-eb5325bf597f> | CC-MAIN-2023-23 | https://multiculturalnz.org.nz/Huarahi-Hou-Conference-2023 | 2023-05-27T23:14:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-23/segments/1685224643388.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20230527223515-20230528013515-00294.warc.gz | en | 0.947983 | 818 |
Getting ready for a new job
By Catalogs Editorial Staff
These are the things you should do when you are getting ready for a new jobDespite the fact that the United States is largely recovering from the economic downturn in 2008, it can still be difficult to find that perfect job for you. When you do find a place to work that you think actually suits you, you are likely to feel some conflicting emotions. There is of course going to be a sense of relief and joy that you finally got that job that you really wanted. There is almost certainly also going to be a sense of trepidation since you are going into a situation with quite a few unknowns.
The best way to get rid of the butterflies in the pit in your stomach is to get as prepared as humanly possible for that first day of work, and then for every day following. When you are getting ready for a new job, there are some things that you can’t control. That makes it all the more important to have a firm grasp on what you can control so that you can make the right impression on your new boss and your coworkers.
Find Out the Dress Code
Before you continue reading about the Getting ready for a new job there is a special announcement we would like to share with you. Catalogs.com has negotiated special medicare rates for our vibrant community of seniors. If you are over the age of 60, you can head over to our Seniors Health Section which is full of information about medicare. All you need is your zip code and a few minutes of your time to potentially save 100s of dollars on your medicare bills.
Some companies are extremely casual when it comes to what employees are expected to wear to work. Others are strict to the point of requiring uniforms. You want to make sure that you know and fully understand the dress code from one day to the next. If you are working in an office environment, you need to have a versatile selection of office-appropriate clothes ready to go. Express your personality and sense of professionalism, at the same time, you want to make sure that you are fitting in with your coworkers.
That doesn’t mean you should dress sloppily if everyone else is, but if the code doesn’t call for full suits every day, you might find that you’ll get along in the company better if you aren’t dressed to the nines all the time. Most important in this regard is to make sure you are dressing however your supervisors expect you to dress. If you can’t figure it out on your own, ask.
Get Transportation Issues Hammered Out
There is nothing a new boss is going to hate more than having their employees showing up late to work. Make sure that you have a reliable vehicle or have your method of getting to work planned out well before the first day rolls around. Even if this means staying up late the night before to plan your public transportation route, or getting up extra early to make certain you make connections or avoid traffic issues, you should make sure you are able to show up on your first day, and then on time and dependably after that.
The one exception might be if the employee has to call in because they do not have a way to get to the office. Know that you may have to take a personal or sick day if you must miss work because you can’t there. Do this more than once, and you might not have to worry about transportation any more, any way.
Understand the Job
Obviously, since you applied for the position you probably have a basic understanding of what your new job will be. That does not mean that you will have as firm a grasp as you will after a year of service when it comes to knowing the ins and outs of the position. Your supervisor understands that.
If at all possible, you should study up on the job you are taking and make sure you know what will be expected of you. Most people spend quite a bit of time getting ready for their first day and just assume that after that they can wing it. Those who enter their new job knowing what they are going to have to do on their first, second, third and fourth days are going to be better prepared.
Someone who can hit the ground running is going to be looked at quite a bit more positively by everyone they work with.
If your new company has a policy manual, job description and any promotional materials, ask if you can take them home with you before your first day. Then actually read it and carefully consider where you fit in when it comes to those policies.
It might not hurt to do a little research on your company using the Internet. Depending on your position, you can get a good feel for what your predecessors did right and what they did wrong.

Peace Designer Workshop #USA
On June 9 and 10, the American chapter of Youth and Students for Peace (YSP) held their first Peace Designer Workshop to teach the curricula of YSP to youth leaders, educators and those who want to work with youth in New York. YSP’s goal is to promote the understanding of “Hyo Jeong” and “Hyo Jeong culture” – a culture centered on the heart of filial piety, among the youth in society. The workshop attracted a total of eighteen people.
The workshop opened with an introduction to YSP, followed by its founders’ vision and then the meaning of hyojeong. Participants were then asked to pair up and share experiences or examples based on filial piety.
The participants immediately dived into practicing how to teach the Four Family Loves chapter education content created by Dr. Robert Kittel and Dr. Tyler Hendricks. Different chapters of the twelve-lesson curricula were given to each participant who rotated in presenting their content to other team members. Valuable feedback and thoughts were given afterwards on how the content could be changed or improved for a youthful audience.
In the afternoon, a presentation was given by Jonathan Stupple on the UN Sustainable Development Goals, followed by an intercultural sharing. Guest speakers representing Islam, Judaism and Christianity were invited to speak about the fundamental aspects of their religions and answer participant questions.
Concluding the day was the first half of the Peace Designer program led by Naokimi Ushiroda, the President of YSP USA; and Naria Gaarder, the Program Administrator for YSP USA. They introduced the meaning, motivation, and goals of a peace project versus a regular service project. On the following day, participants were taught the second half of the Peace Designer program, going through the step-by-step process of collating a successful project and the importance of addressing the root cause of an issue. Each participant worked diligently in researching an issue that resonated within his or her communities and constructed a plan on how they would like to address it. The youth leaders developed a total of six peace project ideas, and several of them plan to implement them in the near future. YSP hopes to expand their goals of collaborating efforts with youth through similar workshops. | <urn:uuid:71ab7527-41b3-4b29-a913-6d39ebc1af57> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://iaysp.org/peace-designer-workshop/ | 2022-10-03T17:39:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337428.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20221003164901-20221003194901-00208.warc.gz | en | 0.969066 | 470 |
Yes, FP can be used in enterprise applications. Clojure is one example of an FP language with success in enterprise: http://cognitect.com/clojure#successstories
Representing state can be a challenge in FP and changing paradigms to fit FP can be a bit of a mind warp. Some FP languages completely disallow side affects and mutable state. Clojure allows both but discourages or isolates those paradigms.
In short, state representation may be very similar to OO. It's state modification that is very different. So for instance, in FP state may be represented by lists and maps. A list of employees may look like:
[[name: "James Brown" address: "Barnwell, SC"]
[name: "Elvis Presley" address: "Tupelo, MS"]]
There are two ways I know of to handle state modification in FP. One is something like functional reactive programming. In this paradigm all state is handled at the highest level only... for instance, an HTML view of your application has state in the view (like the person's name, address, etc.). Now when you click "update name" a function is called that handles every thing about a name update except actually changing the name. This may sound weird... but bear with me. The changed name would then be returned by the function and the view (or persistent data store, etc.) will show the new name. Or, alternatively, an entire new structure with the updated name will be returned. So what does the function do? It validates the name and returns the new name if it is valid, an error if it is not, and possibly a new view or navigation link to follow. For something more complex than a name change it may do a lot more.
So for FRP the object returned by the function is the new state and can be given directly to the view or whatever is at the high level. In some cases FRP takes the whole state passes it to the function and gets the whole state back.
With this paradigm, the container or framework needs to handle the update of the display, database, or whatever else needs updating from the new state. So you can imagine a framework that draws the application on screen. When a user clicks something functions are invoked and the new state is returned. The framework then updates the screen by either redrawing everything or intelligently redrawing parts of the display. See http://blog.getprismatic.com/om-sweet-om-high-functional-frontend-engineering-with-clojurescript-and-react/
Clojure uses the second paradigm that I've come across and that is to isolate state changes but not necessarily restrict them to the highest level. With Clojure all mutable state must be "held" (unless you're using Java objects for state) by an atom, agent, or reference. The way this works is the object held or pointed to or referenced (however you want to call it) by the atom/agent/ref is immutable, but the atom/agent/ref can change to point to a new object. In this case you use special methods on the atom/agent/ref that say "update the object here by doing such and such and reassigning the atom/agent/ref to a new object".
Why is this beneficial you may ask? Because the immutable object referenced by these Clojure constructs may be passed to a function that does something and while that function is running its reference to the object is guaranteed not to change. That is, the atom/agent/ref isn't passed to the function but the immutable object pointed to by them is passed. Atoms, agents, and refs have special properties that handle updates and concurrency in ways that are safe and part of the language. See http://clojure.org/state
I hope this helps. I suggest reading more about Clojure state and FRP to get a better understanding for how employees and persons can be represented in FP. Though, the actual representation would be similar to object oriented programming... it's the mutability that is really different. | <urn:uuid:e0a9b612-3aa3-4c15-9fbc-17fdf4687ee0> | CC-MAIN-2016-18 | http://programmers.stackexchange.com/questions/150411/can-functional-programming-be-used-to-develop-a-full-enterprise-application/150537 | 2016-05-02T23:43:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-18/segments/1461860117914.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20160428161517-00113-ip-10-239-7-51.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.91818 | 847 |

Pilot / Phase III Randomized Trial Comparing Standard Systemic Therapy to Cytoreduction + Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Mitomycin C + Standard Systemic Therapy in Patients With Limited Peritoneal Dissemination of Colon Adenocarcinoma
- To compare the overall survival (OS) of patients with advanced limited peritoneal
dissemination of colon adenocarcinoma treated with systemic therapy with vs without
cytoreduction surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal mitomycin C.
- To compare the relative OS at 1 year of patients treated with these regimens.
- To compare the progression-free survival (PFS) of patients treated with these regimens.
- To compare the relative PFS at 1 year of patients treated with these regimens.
- To compare the quality of life of patients treated with these regimens.
- To compare the toxicity burden of these regimens in these patients.
- To compare the OS and PFS according to patients' peritoneal surface tumor genotype for
the NAD(P)H (quinone oxidoreductase 1 [NQO1] 609C >T polymorphism [wild type vs
heterozygous/homozygous mutant]) in patients treated with these regimens.
- To compare circulating tumor cells in patients treated with these regimens.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to presentation
(synchronous vs metachronous carcinomatosis), ECOG performance status (0 vs 1), disease
volume (measurable vs non-measurable), prior first-line therapy for advanced disease
(chemo-naïve vs prior first-line therapy), planned chemotherapy (oxaliplatin vs irinotecan
vs fluorouracil/leucovorin calcium vs capecitabine), and planned biologic therapy
(bevacizumab vs cetuximab vs none). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
- Arm I: Patients receive standard systemic therapy, at the discretion of patients'
oncologist, comprising combinations of fluorouracil, leucovorin calcium, irinotecan
hydrochloride, oxaliplatin, and/or capecitabine (including FOLFOX4, mFOLFOX6, CapeOx,
or FOLFIRI) with or without bevacizumab (beginning 4-6 weeks after major surgery) or
cetuximab*. Treatment repeats in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable
toxicity. Patients with progressive disease may crossover to arm II.
NOTE: *For patients with KRAS wild-type tumors.
- Arm II: Patients undergo cytoreduction surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal
mitomycin C over 45-90 minutes. Beginning 8 weeks after surgery, patients receive
standard systemic therapy as in arm I. Treatment with systemic therapy repeats for 6
courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Blood and tissue samples may be collected from patients for correlative studies.
Patients complete SF-36 Health Survey; Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Colorectal
(FACT-C); Feeling Sad, Down, or Depressed (CES-D); and a Brief Pain Inventory
quality-of-life questionnaires at baseline and then periodically during study.
After completion of study therapy, patients are followed up periodically for 5 years.
Allocation: Randomized, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment

"Ski Physics" is an education game that teaches the relationship between velocity, distance, and time.
If you answer questions correctly, you can watch the skier make a perfect jump. If your answer is wrong,
the ski jumper lands in a bale of hay. For the VIC-20 or Commodore 64.
"Ski Physics" begins by printing short definitions of time, velocity, and distance. The computer then randomly selects a
word problem involving the three concepts. You solve the problem, enter the answer, and press RETURN. If the answer is
correct, the ski jumper lands safely on a platform. But if you are wrong, the skier falls short and lands in a pile of hay.
You might want to have paper and pencil (or a calculator) handy; some questions require more effort than others.
You should enter only numbers for your answer — not the units such as feet, seconds, miles per hour, etc. You can also
ignore remainders in the division problems. The computer expects answers that are integers.
How The VIC Version Works
Program 1 plays the opening music, sets up the custom characters in a protected area of memory, and prints the
instructions. It then automatically loads Program 2.
In program 2, line 255 selects four random numbers — A represents the units for each problem (feet, minutes, etc.), B
stands for one of three word problems, and variables and Y are the numbers used in the problems.
Lines 290-300 print the background scene, using the redefined characters from the first program.
Line 315 accepts the player's input (answer). The program jumps to line 360 if the answer is correct; the skier makes a
successful jump. If the answer is wrong, the skier fails. The process is then repeated with a new question.
The Commodore 64 version is similar in operation.
Typing in Ski Physics
If you have a VIC-20 with a tape drive, type in Program 1, SAVE, and VERIFY it. Then type NEW (or turn the computer
off and then on again). Enter Program and SAVE it immediately after Program 1. To use Ski Physics, RUN Program 1.
After it has set up the custom characters, it will automatically load Program 2.
If you have a VIC and a disk drive, enter and SAVE both programs. Before the first program loads the second, you will
be asked if you yore using tape or disk.
Commodore 64 owners should simply type in Program 3, SAVE it, and RUN.
You will be given problems to solve with time, distance and velocity.
Answer with the correct number.
Do not give units.
Time is duration
It is measured in minutes and hours.
Velocity is speed
It is measured in feet/second or miles/hour.
Distance is length
It is measured in feet or miles. | <urn:uuid:d48a587a-1a3a-4e8c-8def-916ab185d666> | CC-MAIN-2017-17 | http://s64.emuunlim.org/manuals/skiphysics.htm | 2017-04-29T17:50:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-17/segments/1492917123549.87/warc/CC-MAIN-20170423031203-00497-ip-10-145-167-34.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.893415 | 659 |
Dear Ms. Phillips,
I wanted to read this book because of the Tudor time period and the fact that the hero is not only a commoner but a bastard as well. Also, I had heard good things about your Harlequin Historicals of the 90s. It’s slightly bawdy for the time with Dicken doing his share of bodice diving amongst the wenches of the inns and manor houses of England and the heroine takes to public performances like a duck to water but methinks this is a book I would have enjoyed more “back in the day.”
It starts off well enough with Lady Elizabeth fleeing from her piggy wanabe husband after her father dies in mysterious circumstances. She and Tarleton meet and greet and she tells him her tale after which he agrees, for a fee, to escort her to her godmother, the Queen. So far so good. He devises a “Chick in pants” disguise, treats her like an apprentice of the day would be (ie badly) but then clucks and hovers over her at all other times. Even after someone penetrates Elizabeth’s disguise and tells Tarleton it was his mooning over her that gave away the game.
And everyone loves Elizabeth. The fiendish lout who covets her lands, Tarleton – of course, the pot boys they meet along the way, the students at Oxford who save their lives – yes, everyone loves Elizabeth the sweet angelic soul. Just once I’d love to have heard a man look at her, shrug and say, “nope, does nothing for me.”
There are lots of details – the good, bad and ugly about life in Tudor England and life on the road for the po’ folks. Elizabeth gets an eye opening view of life among the rushes and ale houses and at the country fairs. This well done local color is what truly kept me going. That and the image of Elizabeth trying, and failing, to ride a goat.
But the story also circled endlessly while all these events were taking place. Tarleton is soon smitten with Elizabeth but knows that a titled lady with property is as high above his head as the moon. To keep his mind off her and her luscious body and how badly he wants to tumble her, he first jests with her then – when she in all innocence jests back and he gets hard enough to hammer nails – he treats her coolly. And she gets wounded and miffed until the next day when it all cycles. And/or something will happen to frighten Elizabeth and she’ll dissolve into tears and sobs and Tarleton will enfold her in his manly arms and rock her like a baby. Which is definitely not how a master and apprentice would behave. I got so damn tire of Elizabeth boo-hooing over and over I wanted to shake her and snap, “get over it.”
The way the villain is caught and Tarleton finally gets his dream girl is cool and apropos to the times. Points for working the Babbington Plot into the works and initially circumventing the vast difference in status between Elizabeth and Tarleton. But, alas, just when I thought I was home free with a commoner hero, the Queen comes along and changes all that. Sigh. Oh, well, that part was good while it lasted.
I enjoyed parts of this book, am glad I have now read one of your books, liked the detail and the way all was taken care of in the end but the endless loop of Elizabeth’s tears and Tarleton’s, “there, there now, chuck” wore me out. As I said, if I’d read this when it was first published back in the 90s, I’m sure it would have made a better impression on me. But now, it’s a C. | <urn:uuid:4f82c562-7ab9-446c-bef7-dbd5f4b5f116> | CC-MAIN-2015-14 | http://dearauthor.com/book-reviews/overall-c-reviews/c-reviews/review-fools-paradise-by-tori-phillips/ | 2015-04-01T17:59:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-14/segments/1427131305143.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20150323172145-00048-ip-10-168-14-71.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.97568 | 819 |
Georges HALLARY, our Vice President and Director of Operation recently had an interview with European Food Journal on our twin screw extrusion technology and our equipment for the Food & Feed industry.
“We started as a manufacturer of twin-screw extruders for the plastics industry,” says Vice President and COO Georges Hallary, describing the origins of the company. “In the 1970s, we were the first company to take the useful technology to the food industry. At that time, we designed a completely new processing line for Danone for the production of Craquotte, a new type of crispy flat bread positioned somewhere between crackers and rusk. It was a groundbreaking development that marked our entry into the food industry. Today, extrusion lines for food processing applications are our most important business segment.”
“As a production method, twin-screw extrusion offers numerous benefits over single-screw extrusion, including very homogenous product quality, enhanced productivity, greater flexibility with regard to the use of different raw materials, energy savings and easy maintenance. The technology was first employed in plastics processing 60 years ago. Clextral SAS, a pioneer in the sector, developed it further and introduced it to the food industry. Today, committed to excellence in extrusion, the innovative French company generates more than two thirds of its revenue in the food and feed sector.” | <urn:uuid:63ea1886-4ad1-44ca-bd1e-31b56d611e26> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://www.clextral.com/excellence-in-extrusion/ | 2017-06-25T00:21:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320368.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20170624235551-20170625015551-00144.warc.gz | en | 0.957975 | 287 |

Hello friends. Welcome to my home site! I look forward to connecting more with you through my Soul Space Stories monthly newsletter. Click HERE to receive encouragement delivered directly to your inbox!
It’s been a time of celebration here in Spokane, Washington since the first edition of Soul Space arrived. The sheer beauty of The Hearth and gardens came alive through the remarkable talents of Barbara Genetin, a graphic artist from California. I’m so grateful for our three year collaboration!
Years ago, environmentalist John Muir said,
Everyone needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul alike.John Muir
His wisdom captures the healing beauty we hope Soul Space conveys to readers.
I have a long interest and astonishment at the strength of perseverance and resilience that people demonstrate in difficult times. My earlier book Bold Spirit: Helga Estby’s Forgotten Walk across Victorian America, originally researched for my Ph.D. from Gonzaga University, narrates the true story of a mother and daughter who walked across America in 1896. Drawn by a potential $10,000 wager, she wanted to save the family farm for their nine children during a major depression. Her audacious journey is filled with courage and creativity, tragedy, and the silencing of family stories.
Then, for several years, I interviewed mothers and fathers for my book Pilgrimage through Loss and shared their stories of strength, resilience and healing after the death of their child. Listening to how they endured one of life’s most “shipwreck” experiences, they taught me much about the ways life can still unfold with meaning and connection after profound loss. Clearly a gift after Krista’s death.
Each month, I will offer the newsletter Soul Space Stories. This will share my ongoing explorations of living with sheer wonder at the moments of life that feeds our soul. It will include discoveries on creating a bold-spirited life, wisdom voices, gardening pleasures and tips, book recommendations (as a retired English professor, can’t resist sharing treasured stories), Hearth recipes and global art works. Occasionally, it will include thoughts on living again through cancer treatments. My hope is that these reflections encourage readers during times in America and our world that are often corrosive to the human spirit.
Proof of living with hope? I’m an irrational Seattle Mariners fan! Plus, I continue to plant peach trees (now on our fourth) in our cold climate zone, because nothing compares to the taste of a sun-ripened peach directly picked from our tree. Some seasons they even survive and thrive!

GBU-39 Small Diameter Bomb
The GBU-39 Small Diameter Bomb (SDB) has the same guidance and ballistics of larger bombs equipped with the latest Joint Direct Attack Munition guidance strap-on kit, but offers other advantages. Especially with new explosives, it is exceptionally destructive to a small area, but produces much less damage outside that area. Its lower weight also provides greater range for the same number of bombs, considered especially important by the Israelis.
Three GBU-39s nominally fit into a single mounting position for a Mk. 84 2000 pound bomb, but can be launched separately, in a Triple Ejector Rack on wings or in a rotary launcher.
Initially, they contained either a conventional explosive filler, or, for some precision targets, inert concrete so they did damage only by kinetic energy. The U.S. Focused Lethality Munition program, is developing GBU-39's filled with dense inert metal explosive to decrease the blast radius while increasing lethality within it. | <urn:uuid:c19c4bb0-9cca-47e7-a477-10dddab774f0> | CC-MAIN-2020-05 | http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/GBU-39_Small_Diameter_Bomb | 2020-01-17T21:40:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-05/segments/1579250591234.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20200117205732-20200117233732-00445.warc.gz | en | 0.895772 | 210 |

Welcome to My Fan Blog
Hi, everyone! Even though this blog is set up primarily for use by American fans (family) of Internationally popular Korean actor and superstar Bae Yong Joon, all family members, worldwide, are welcome to post comments, etc. here. I am new to this, and therefore nervous, so please be patient with me, and I will do my best to be the same with all of you. I have been a BYJ fan since June, 2009. I first saw him in "Winter Sonata" on Youtube, and I was hooked right from the start. Since then, I can't get enough of this amazing, gorgeous actor. Of course, I'm sure that's true for most of his fans (family), otherwise he wouldn't be so popular, would he? Lol. As for the gorgeous part, he has always been that way, as far as I can tell. But, that's not the only reason we love him, now is it? I have read a lot of nice things about this lovely man, in blogs and postings all across the internet. The things which stand out most in all of these
are BYJ's gentlemanly attitude and manner, his true appreciation of, and dedication to, all his fans (family) worldwide, and his genuine love for all mankind. Could we, or should we even dare, ask for more? Isn't all of this reason enough to love him as we do? You tell me. That's why I'm here, after all. | <urn:uuid:4551f1ae-fa1b-4953-9cd7-62b7b4d01706> | CC-MAIN-2017-34 | http://americanbaefan.blogspot.com/2009/11/welcome-to-my-fan-blog.html | 2017-08-16T13:21:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-34/segments/1502886101966.48/warc/CC-MAIN-20170816125013-20170816145013-00468.warc.gz | en | 0.982729 | 319 |

Chow Down: Reverse Disease Through Diet
"I have $60,000 in this attache case and I want to give it to you if you will leave the word cancer out of any mention in the Red Cross course."
Those were words allegedly spoken by a food lobbyist to Louise Light after she had research supporting the link between cancer and certain foods.
Chow Down is a new documentary (out on DVD) that follows a family man looking to reverse his heart disease through diet. It's pretty powerful stuff.

After a four-decade ascent that has taken her through all levels of the Illinois court system, Rita Garman becomes Illinois's second female chief justice.
While on her way to becoming valedictorian of the Oswego High School class of 1961, in what was then a very small farming community, Rita B. Garman decided she wanted to pursue a legal career. As a bright young woman at a time when bright young women were encouraged to pursue teaching, nursing, or secretarial work, Garman had other ambitions - but did not imagine where the law would lead her.
"I thought those were all noble professions, but I didn't think any of them were for me," she says of women's then usual choices. "[The law] appealed to me because of the breadth of opportunities. But I didn't dream I would ever be a judge. I certainly didn't dream I would become a supreme court justice, or chief justice. That was so far beyond the realm of possibility."
And yet effective Oct. 26, Garman, a Republican from the fourth district, is chief justice of the Illinois Supreme Court - the second woman to do so after the late Mary Ann McMorrow - continuing her steady, four-decade ascent that has taken her through all levels of the court system. She has progressed from associate circuit judge, to circuit judge and then presiding circuit judge, to appellate judge, presiding appellate, and then the supreme court, to which Garman was appointed in 2001 and subsequently elected in 2002.
ISBA President Paula Holderman, who began practicing in 1979 in Champaign County, which had no female judges at that time, says Garman was "singularly noted" in central Illinois due to her gender. "We had few role models at that time," says Holderman, then the only female assistant state's attorney in Champaign County. "Justice Garman really was a beacon for women in that part of the state."
She continues to play that role, Holderman adds, mentioning a recent panel discussion she organized commemorating the 120th anniversary of the first meeting of women lawyers, at the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago. Garman "told some really great stories about when she started in the '70s and maybe even late '60s, how different things were then," Holderman says. "One of the goals of our program - we had a lot of younger women in the audience - [was to help them] understand what women have literally had to fight for, in terms of being recognized as lawyers and judges."
ISBA immediate past president John Thies, a longtime friend, has worked with Garman as a bar leader and argued before her at both the appellate and supreme court level. "She's very aware of the importance of having a strong relationship between the court and the bar. She's always been there whenever I've asked her to do something for the bar," he says. As a jurist, "She's always been superbly prepared, and her opinions are very well reasoned. She's exceptionally well qualified to do this. She's served at every level of the judiciary in Illinois, which is pretty unique."
Illinois Supreme Court Justice Mary Jane Theis, who has known Garman well through judicial education work for the past 15 years and served with her since 2010, says the incoming chief justice brings a deep understanding of the state's court system.
"It's not just that she's survived this long," says Justice Theis. "She has sat in traffic court, she has sat in small claims court, she understands the appellate process." As the supreme court's liaison to the state's Conference of Chief Judges, she adds, Garman "continues to have an understanding of how courtrooms across the state are working, what the issues are, and how they need to be improved. She understands the court system from the bottom up in every single county in the state."
'Aim for the top'
Garman credits many people for believing in her along the way, starting with her parents, Sheldon and Ellen Bell. "My dad thought his daughters could do as much as his sons," Garman says. "I remember my dad saying, 'Aim for the top.'" Her mother had wanted to be a doctor, but instead went to work to help put her own brother through medical school, Garman recalls, which provided extra motivation to support her daughters' ambitions.
The future chief justice majored in economics at the University of Illinois, where she met her future husband, Gill, an attorney who's practiced in their adopted hometown of Danville for the past 45 years. They matriculated together to law school at the University of Iowa, where as one of five women in a class of 100, Garman learned to gracefully handle reactions that ranged from the unctuous, "Why does a nice girl like you want to do something like that?" to outright hostile queries from her professors: "Why are you taking up a space a man could have?"
"That didn't bother me," Garman says, and she didn't talk back because "they were handing out the grades. I kept my mouth shut and kept on working."
That all-too-typical-for-the-time sexism continued when Garman and her husband moved to Danville, and at first the future chief justice could not find a suitable position. "People would say to me, 'You're a nice lady, you're smart, but what would we do with you?'" she says.
But before long, a partner of Garman's husband asked if she would staff the public Vermilion County Legal Aid Society, which had lost its director and was in danger of being shut down. "I said, 'I don't know anything about running a law office,'" she recalls. "I learned to practice law like you learn to ride a bike: you just do it." She spent nearly a year handling landlord-tenant, domestic, consumer fraud, and other issues, and "I learned some very valuable lessons and met some wonderful people."
Opportunity knocked again 10 months later when the county state's attorney asked if Garman would join his office to handle family law cases, which she says were "how many women got into it." As part of a three-person office, she often found herself handling other types of cases as well, and Garman spent four years as an assistant state's attorney before briefly going into private practice in 1973 as part of Sebat, Swanson, Banks, Lessen & Garman.
But she didn't stay in private practice for long; the bench called Garman early, in the person of Circuit Judge James Robinson, who asked her if she had thought about becoming a judge. She hadn't. But "I was very flattered," she says. "There were no women on the court. He said, 'You have the right ability. You have the right temperament.' I like being able to see both sides."
Shortly thereafter, an associate judge retired and Garman figured, why not apply? The circuit judge asked her how old she was, and Garman answered that she was about to turn 30, which seemed to satisfy him as the minimum age of a person he could imagine having on the court. And Garman's gender was beginning to fade as an issue.
"The jurors commented more on my age than my gender," she says, adding that she recalls only "one or two cases" where an attorney made a motion for substitution because she was a woman. "When I worked at legal aid, the clientele didn't care that I was a woman. People accessing the state's attorney's office wanted my help, too."
Judge Ralph Pearman, who was chief of the Vermilion County Circuit Court when Garman first was appointed, says neither her age nor her gender mattered. "She was probably the youngest of the applicants and had the least experience in practice," he says. But "she had shown, with the cases she had been in front of everybody [arguing], the ability and intelligence and demeanor. She was an outstanding candidate. At that time, there weren't very many female judges in the state of Illinois, but she was so outstanding."
Garman was not only the first woman associate judge in her circuit, but one of only 10 statewide in 1974 when she first took the bench. She was also the first woman to run for circuit judge in the Fifth Judicial Circuit, in 1986. "The numbers didn't change significantly until the early 1990s," she says. And yet, she remembers a deputy clerk not long after she first became associate judge saying to her, "One day, you'll be on the supreme court." Garman laughed at the prediction.
During her years on the circuit court, Garman remembers learning much about life's heartaches, particularly in deciding often "terribly tragic" children's cases. "I had a wonderful life and a wonderful family," she says. "Children who are neglected and abused are robbed of something really precious."
Garman also remembers a murder case in which a woman and her boyfriend had stolen a man's car, tied him to a tree, shot him, and left him there to die. Then, they cleaned up and went to a party. "This young woman couldn't have looked more innocent," Garman says. "You don't forget those [cases]."
Among Garman's early mentors were the late Carl Lund, a circuit judge who later reached the appellate bench, as well as former chief judge Pearman. They were "people I looked up to, and tried to take their best practices and make them my own," Garman says. Lund urged her to decide cases expeditiously, "do your best job and don't worry if somebody is going to make an appeal."
"I took that to heart," Garman says. "I feel strongly about, 'justice delayed is justice denied.' " She's always mindful that parties to a case are waiting on her decision, and that in some cases, "It's been a long time since the event happened that brought them to court."
Pearman says Garman's election to full circuit judge was a no-brainer for him and others to support. "The whole bar association in Vermilion County appreciated her," he says. "She was courteous to the litigants and the attorneys.… She was intelligent, did a good job of research and reasoning on her opinions, and she was prompt in getting things done." He adds, "We were all in favor of her and helped her all we could. She got elected pretty easily, and her career kept going."
Upstate, downstate, circuit court, appellate court
As she rose to the Illinois Appellate Court, Fourth District, in July 1995, and then the supreme court six years later, Garman drew inspiration from the hard work and temperament of numerous colleagues, including McMorrow, the first woman with whom she directly served on the bench.
"It was a particular pleasure to serve with Justice McMorrow," Garman says. "To watch the way she handled the court's issues with grace and dignity - it was so typical of her demeanor and attitude. She was a very humble lady but extraordinarily smart."
Former Chief Justice Benjamin Miller, who first knew Garman through judicial committees and the circuit court, was instrumental in her initial assignment to the appellate court, and she then took his place on the supreme court. "We didn't directly work together, but of course I knew her by reputation," Miller says. "She's well-rounded, very smart, has good judgment, good common sense, works well with others, works hard herself. Everything you would want in a judge, she's got. She'll do a great job as chief justice."
Garman brings broad experience not just from having worked at all levels of the court system, but also for having spent time both downstate and in Cook County, Miller says. "She's very focused on the law both in administration and deciding cases, substantive or procedural," he says. "She'll bring a broad range of experiences and interests to the court. She'll be a great leader."
Justice Theis says Garman has impressed her and many others with the quality of her questions from the bench and the opinions she has written over the years. "Any supreme court litigant learns very quickly that when she asks questions from the bench, she's always laser-sharp and right to the issue," Theis says. "She's a great writer: her style is crisp and clean, her opinions are strong and elegant. And for a law nerd like me, they're a delight to study. You could do a whole CLE just studying the way she writes."
Garman says the recently deceased Justice Moses Harrison "couldn't have been kinder or more accommodating to me," and she also mentions former Chief Justices Robert Thomas, Charles Freeman and her immediate predecessor, Thomas Kilbride, as people with whom she has been "privileged to serve."
Thomas returns the compliment, describing Garman in short as "common-sense-oriented and solid." He adds that "she's unwavering in her ability to come to what she believes to be a just result.…She has tremendous integrity, she has a wisdom that comes across as we discuss cases, but also a humility, an ability to listen to the other side. One of the things that I appreciate about her is that once she believes her position is right and has listened to the other side, she is very strong in asserting it."
Holderman, who has served on numerous bar committees with Garman, says the justice has been held in great respect and high regard by other lawyers and judges. "She has always been somebody who, when people speak about her, they always speak in very respectful tones because she really just has been so gracious," Holderman says. Recalling that Harrison was described repeatedly as a "gentleman" during his memorial service, Holderman adds, "I need to find the appropriate word that is akin to that for a woman.… She treats everybody with great professionalism and civility."
Garman's co-chairmanship of the Illinois Juvenile Justice Leadership Council, of which Holderman is a member, shows the justice's commitment to access to justice - and specifically for younger people, Holderman says. "She cares about the litigants. She cares about the lawyers. And she certainly cares about the court as a symbol of fairness and process," she says.
Garman expects that her experience as presiding judge in the circuit court, where she handled budgetary matters, judicial assignment, and overall administration from 1987-95, and her shorter stint as presiding appellate judge, will bolster her ability in administering the supreme court's docket. "I'm not afraid to make a decision," she says. "I like to be inclusive. One of the greatest compliments I ever had was from someone who told me I was a great listener."
"She certainly has shown leadership already in participating in that administrative capacity," Thomas says. "You can tell that she certainly has what it takes to be a leader in that regard." He adds that Garman will be a "good face for the court. In the role of chief, I know from having done it for three years, she'll be asked to go to event after event. She's very polished and a good speaker."
Of all the many people who have supported and encouraged Garman throughout her long, illustrious career, probably no one has played as longstanding a role as her husband, Gill. "My husband is extraordinary," she says. "He is very supportive of me and has been from the day we met. He has encouraged me to do all I can do and is always there for me." Garman adds that her two children are "wonderful supportive children" and that "we are blessed to have three beautiful grandchildren."
Community activities always have been a big part of Garman's life, including membership in the Danville Rotary Club, director emeritus of the Danville Symphony Orchestra and the 708 Mental Health Board, and a board member of the University of Illinois Alumni Association.
"I have always believed that being part of the community was very important," she says. "I was active in the symphony because I felt quality-of-life issues were very important." Through her involvement with the mental health board, Garman adds, she gained greater familiarity with issues like disabilities and substance abuse that come up regularly in the court system. "The outside activities help you get a better perspective," she says, "and see what's important in the community."
"Her background, having been a legal aid lawyer, having served at every level of the court system, being from a community where she remained active even after becoming a judge, all those background characteristics will be useful to her as she takes on this very important job," John Thies says. "She really is a terrific person. She's well respected on the court, by other court members, and the bar thinks highly of her. We're fortunate that she's chosen to devote her energy and her intellect and her resources to public service all these years."
"Throughout all of her successes, she's always retained a gentle, lovely demeanor," Thies says. "She does not try to be a man in a man's world. She is who she is, and that's what's inspiring about her."
"On the supreme court, she has been a great role model for other women lawyers," Holderman adds. "But we shouldn't limit it to women. This is true for Justice McMorrow, too - they're great role models for all lawyers."

Among other projects that may emerge over the course of her term, Chief Justice Garman plans to consolidate gains the court has made in upgrading technology, improving access to justice, and serving the needs of children.
As she begins her new role, Chief Justice Garman says she does not have preconceived ideas of particular initiatives to push, but plans to meet with her colleagues and reach consensus on ideas, "just as we do on opinions." She believes that "the richness of our system is that we have seven people who come from varied backgrounds and experience. I believe collective judgment is a superior product."
On a personal level, "We really get along well," Garman says of the current court. "We enjoy each other's company," and hold one another's differing viewpoints with "a lot of respect." She adds, "I look forward to the cases we have now and the cases we have coming."
Moving forward with technology. Garman expects the court to continue forward with technological initiatives begun under Kilbride's tenure, such as encouragement of electronic filing and other digitalization of the court's business, as well as a pilot project allowing cameras in the courtroom. She would like to engage with the appellate and circuit courts around technology.
"Our systems need to be able to talk to one another… so that we have a unified product," she says. Those systems should "capture the same data, so that it will be useful to all in assessing our system." She sees judicial education on technology, particularly for older and more experienced jurists, as essential to success because "you find a varying representation of electronic-savvy within the judiciary."
Multilingual justice, other access-to-justice issues. Garman also plans to continue the Commission on Access to Justice began under Kilbride's watch, which has eased the path for the poor and those with limited English proficiency in navigating the court system. While some might think of the latter as primarily a Cook County or Chicago-area issue, Garman says people in downstate Douglas County have told her how excited they are given the number of suspects picked up on I-57 who don't speak English or Spanish.
"It's a more difficult problem in many rural counties," she says. "In Chicago, you might be able to find somebody who is proficient in some [unusual] language. But you won't find them in downstate Illinois, in smaller counties." She sees the potential for online interpreters to help handle those sorts of situations.
Garman believes the supreme court's ruling in June extending limited scope representation to civil litigation will help those of limited means gain access, as well. "That was very well received by members of the bar," she says. "That will increase representation of people on a single issue or a single matter before the court."
Past ISBA President, John Thies says Garman has been very aware of access to justice and court funding since her days as a legal aid attorney. "She knows our courts are a very important part of the fabric of society," he says. "Keeping them properly funded goes a long way toward ensuring that we have timely justice and an independent judiciary."
Children and the courts. Garman particularly looks forward to continuing the work of the Special Supreme Court Committee on Child Custody Issues that she recommended the court establish, to ensure that children's best interests are the primary focus and that child custody cases be moved along in an expedited manner.
Garman's passion for protecting abused and neglected children dates to her days at the state's attorney's office, and "I've followed that [passion] throughout my career," Garman says. When she and former Illinois Supreme Court Chief Justice Thomas Fitzgerald raised the idea upon her appointment to the court in 2001, "We thought we should have a comprehensive review of how all juvenile cases were being handled." The committee's work led to the court adopting the 900 series of rules to expedite custody cases.
Garman feels a particular urgency when it comes to children's cases because of how short and fast-changing childhood can be. "A year in an adult's life goes by rather quickly; a year in a child's life can be the difference between being born and walking," she says. "Parents should be given every opportunity to raise their children," but if they are unable, the court must find another permanent solution as quickly as possible, Garman believes. - Ed Finkel | <urn:uuid:316e21b4-09e7-4e83-a113-9bf4389f5cae> | CC-MAIN-2015-06 | http://www.isba.org/ibj/2013/11/aimforthetop | 2015-01-27T01:00:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-06/segments/1422122222204.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20150124175702-00051-ip-10-180-212-252.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.988407 | 4,552 |
GE has launched its 1-megawatt Waukesha APG1000 gas engine (pictured), which can utilize a broader variety of biogases, including those from landfills, wastewater treatment plants and agricultural waste.
The Waukesha unit’s expanded biogas capabilities are the result of an 18-month redesign and testing initiative that includes modifications to the combustion chamber; a new spark plug design; and a new fuel control system that simplifies engine start-up and operation, GE says. The engine’s greater fuel tolerances allow it to handle fluctuations in the thermal quality of the biogas with little or no manual intervention, says GE.
New Energy Technologies has announced that researchers developing its SolarWindow technology, capable of generating electricity on see-through glass, have developed a first-ever working prototype. The prototype uses brand new electricity-generating coatings which lead to increased transparency and enhanced color – attributes that the company says are important for consumer acceptance of the product.
Wastewater recycler Aquatech has announced that it has been actively operating its MoVap wastewater treatment solution for shale gas at a field location near Masontown, Penn. When fully treated with the proprietary MoVap system, waters can be reused or returned to the environment in compliance with National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits, Aquatech says. | <urn:uuid:00406723-6550-4d9f-afec-31e4310d906c> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | https://www.environmentalleader.com/2011/08/rd-briefing-ge-new-energy-technologies-and-aquatech/ | 2017-11-18T00:59:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934804125.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20171118002717-20171118022717-00393.warc.gz | en | 0.929768 | 286 |
Those are all great choices. Another is the Rythmik F25 at $3k (plus shipping) for a pair, $6 for a quad, $9k for a sextet, $12k for an octet, and $15k for ten (a dectet? ;-). Rythmik's 10% discount for a purchase of multiples will pay for the shipping. The F25 features two aluminum-coned 15" woofers controlled by designer Brian Ding's patented Direct Servo Feedback circuitry, each driver powered by it's own 400w amp. That is less power than that found in some other subs, but the Rythmik driver is unusually sensitive/efficient, not needing as much power to produce a given SPL as the woofers used in those subs. The TC Sounds LMS Ultra 5400, for instance, is extremely insensitive, needing far more power than other woofers to reach full output. The Rythmik F25 is a very sophisticated, high-performance subwoofer, and an absolute bargain.
If you are dropping that much, you should consider consulting a sound engineer. You may get more bang for your buck by running different size subs to cover the frequency range better (12, 15 & 18 inch)? If this is mainly theater, putting transducers/bass shakers under every seat might get the effect you want.
Personally, I love the story from about 10 years ago where a guy in Italy (I think) built 24 inch subs into the foundation of his house. Imagine horn loaded subs under your floor built of poured concrete...
Another option to consider at your price level. Something different.
Eminent technology rotary TRW-17 subwoofer
regarding the DIY with multiple TCsounds LMS ULTRA 5400 18"'s
Do you have a carpenter/speaker builder who will build the cabinets?
I am looking at a couple of subs as well for one of my rooms and am currently exploring the DIY route with a local custom speaker builder. I could bring him the parts; he builds the cabinet and I or he does the assembly.
One of the cons I can see with this type of approach, if things change down the road - resale.
ct0517---Oh yeah, the ET Rotary sub. I don't remember it's price, but what a sub---flat to 0hz! Bruce Thigpen has one of the most creative minds in the history of Hi-Fi.
For an enclosure in which to install an 18" woofer, go to the DIY Soundgroup website, where you can buy a well designed MDF flat pack for $115 plus shipping. I believe Parts Express sells the same flat pack for a bit more.
Thanks for the reply/ideas guys. Deep sea sound look to HT oriented plus I want to get away from sealed wood enclosure which the majority of the subs are. The Gotham's are not & you can hear/feel the difference. The Rythmik F25's look like great subs & are priced very reasonable. They also address box resonance issue with their patent direct servo technology. I'm sure the bass would be very tight & controlled. Great website too. Rotary woofer only goes up to 20HZ so I would still need subs from 20HZ-60HZ. Regarding the TCsound 5400's my friend(who is a acoustical engineer) wants to help me build dipolar line-source subs to match my Apogee's dipolar design. Three 5400's per side using Ikea butcher-block tabletops(which you can by in bulk) as a baffle. I've good & bad about dipolar subs regarding low bass & room cancellations. Not sure if I want to go down that road. After all is said & done, I'm counting on what I heard/felt(my pants were flapping & hair blowing!), all the awesome reviews(ultraaudio.com), too many patents to mention, the ARO room correction build in, the fiberglass enclosure, ability to master-slave(big plus since my equipment is on the side of the room), taking a month to build in their state-of-the-art facility, plus their reputation that the Gotham is the 'MOTHER OF ALL SUBWOOFERS'!
Just so you'll know, the Rythmik Servo Feedback plate amp is available in two different XLR versions, one of which (XLR2) allows master-slave hook-up, operation, and adjustment of multiple subs. The feedback system also deals with the resonance of the MDF enclosure, as well the thermal artifacts endemic to ALL drivers. Those effects are the result of the electrical characteristics of all woofers changing as their voice-coils heat up and cool down in normal operation. That's just the tip of the Rythmik iceberg. As I said, very sophisticated! The Rythmik website goes into great detail explain Brian Dings design.
ptheo, thank you for sharing the magico s-sub info. I wonder how much bass one needs in a typical HT or 2-ch setup? How big is your listening room?
I just installed a f212v2 last month in my HT room (15"Dx30"W). Just one of the 212's is freaking amazing, I can only imagine two of 212's or a pair of Gotham's in my setup.
lallitk- My room is 27'D-17'W. My complaint is not the output of my F212's(mostly 1/3 up & never past half way), but the way the drivers were working so hard once I cranked it up for movies(Mission Impossible- Rogue Nation beginning airplane screen) which causes distortion to rise which causes the MDF box resonate more which colors the sound/output. In my demo with the Gotham's, I got none of that. Just hard hitting clean/low distortion bass with no box resonating/muddying the sound.

Woman killed, 4 others injured in west Detroit shooting
Woman killed, 4 others shot, including 15-year-old girl, near Carlin and West Chicago streets in Detroit
A 60-year-old woman was killed and four other people, including a 15-year-old girl, were injured in a shooting Wednesday night near Carlin Street and West Chicago Street on Detroit's west side.
The 15-year-old girl suffered minor injuries. A 58-year-old man was shot multiple times. His condition is not known.
The other two victims are a 32-year-old woman and a 24-year-old woman.
All four who were injured are at a hospital being treated.
Police say a group of children, around age 10 or younger, were playing outside. One child was told by an adult to go home. The child went home and came back with his parents and their friends.
The two groups of adults started fighting. One adult pulled out a handgun and a shotgun and started firing into the crowd.
One neighbor said there were easily more than 10 shots fired.
Police believe there was one shooter. They are looking for two men who fled the area after the shooting.
No arrests have been made.
With this shooting, 75 people have been shot in the city of Detroit since May 1. | <urn:uuid:fd79c62e-03a5-4943-8cab-720e7e36e458> | CC-MAIN-2014-23 | http://www.clickondetroit.com/news/5-people-shot-on-detroits-west-side/20167200?view=print | 2014-07-23T20:37:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-23/segments/1405997883466.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20140722025803-00224-ip-10-33-131-23.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.99242 | 274 |
I’m currently on the Autoimmune Protocol, a nutrient-rich elimination diet that removes foods that irritate the gut, cause gut imbalance and activate the immune system. You can read more about the protocol and why I’m doing this here.
You can never put too much pork in your mouth as far as I’m concerned. (Lewis Black)
I love pork. I r e a l l y love it. And, not a week goes by that we don’t pick up some cut of the best-pork-in-the-whole-world from the lovely team at Linga Longa. I’m not kidding – their pork is so good that I’m salivating just thinking about it… It just melts in your mouth.
And don’t even get me started about their bacon.
The Linga Longa stand is our first stop during our weekly jaunt to the farmers market at Eveleigh. And, I would still love them, even if they didn’t tell me every week that Bella is their favourite market dog! Anyhoo, this week I picked up 2.8 kilos – that’s just over a whopping 6 pounds for you Americans! – of pork neck. I guess-timated that this amount of meat would just squeeze into my Le Creuset… It did, but it was a tight fit!
Now, I’m no expert (and I’ll be confirming this with Greg from Linga Longa on Saturday), but I’m pretty sure that this is the very same cut as the ‘Boston Butt’ I keep reading about in all the U.S. recipes for pulled pork.
I ended up making a very tasty pulled pork with my ‘Boston Butt’. I’ll post the recipe after I’ve tweaked it a bit more. Of course, it may take a wee while – I have an awful lot of meat to get through!
It almost goes without saying that coleslaw is the traditional accompaniment to pulled pork. The thing is, the temperature has suddenly taken a dive here, so I played around with a slaw that might just be considered a tad more wintery. Apples marry so well with pork, and so does fennel – seems almost logical to pair them both up in my slaw.
Don’t just eat McDonald’s, get something a bit better. Eat a salad. That’s what fashion is. It’s something that is a bit better. (Vivienne Westwood)
For this recipe, it definitely helps if you have a mandolin. You could chop the apples and fennel by hand, but so MUCH easier (and faster) with a mandolin…
ROCKING Fennel & Apple Slaw
1 Tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 x small or 1 x large granny smith apples
1 medium head of fennel
1/2 x small red onion
1/8 cup best quality EVOO
1 x Tablespoon freshly chopped flat leaf parsley
1. Pop your lemon juice in a medium-sized bowl.
2. Peel and core your apples. Julienne into match sticks using your mandolin. Toss the apples in the lemon juice (this stops them from browning).
3. Wash and julienne your fennel. Add to the apples.
4. Remembering to change the blade on your mandolin, finely slice the red onion Add to the apples and fennel.
5. Add the olive oil and parsley. Season well to taste.
6. Leave for at least 30 minutes before serving. (All slaws improve in flavour after sitting!) Check seasoning once more.
6. Serve with a generous dollop of coconut yoghurt and raspberry sauce.

Adding on to my Dream Street post, I just wanna chat about JMac for a bit. Why isn’t he more famous? And isn’t it kinda crazy that he was the cute one in Summerland and Zac Efron was the awkward one with the weird teeth?
Like I said before, he was on Summerland then he did a guest stint on Greek. I really liked Summerland (Aunt Becky! Jason from True Blood!) Plus he did pretty well for himself in his solo career with hits like Beautiful Soul, She’s No You and apparently he co-wrote Leona Lewis’ song Bleeding Love? His most recent movie was Chernobyl Diaries and besides some voice work, he’s got nothing else lined up. That is disappointing.
And let’s just talk about this music video. I discovered it last summer on a YouTube nostalgia music video watching extravaganza and ended up watching it on loop for weeks. The scantily clad girls, his fitted suit, the leather jacket. Jesse’s all grown up. Also, doesn’t he have a Leo DiCaprio vibe going on in this vid? Seriously, someone get him in some more movies or TV shows. He’s so dang cute. He and Zac should team up again. | <urn:uuid:62351797-2255-4db5-b2f9-bd63c0160082> | CC-MAIN-2018-13 | https://popcultureramble.wordpress.com/2012/05/30/jesse-mccartney/ | 2018-03-18T00:10:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-13/segments/1521257645405.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20180317233618-20180318013618-00535.warc.gz | en | 0.966749 | 274 |
Unveiled at the Paris Motor Show, the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Coupe Electric Drive might be the ultimate production-ready electric sports car with a price to match. Its four electric motors propel it from zero to 60 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds. Its top speed is 155 miles per hour, which has to be electronically limited. The price tag is jaw-dropping at US$540,000.
To see the SLS AMG Coupe Electric Drive on the road, watch this video on YouTube.
Unlike the wheels on most electric cars, each wheel on the SLS has its own electric motor that can achieve 13,000 RPMs.
The three driving modes -- controlled efficiency, sport and sport plus -- change the car's top speed and accelerator response.
The car's liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery system consists of 864 individual cells and can hold 60 kilowatt-hours of electricity. The batteries can carry the car 250 kilometers. The electric SLS is designed to be charged at home or by a public charging station. A specially designed wall box can provide a quick charge of 22 kilowatts in about three hours. Without the box, charge time is about 20 hours.
As it now seems to be the norm with electric supercars, the SLS AMG Coupe Electric Drive has a uniquely crafted sound signature that plays from the car's 11 speakers. Since the car has an electric motor, it doesn't make much noise. The electronic sound is made not only to please the driver who has dropped half a million dollars on the car, but to warn passersby of an approaching vehicle.
The most striking feature of the car is its paint job. The metallic blue, called AMG electricbeam magno, is a color reserved specifically for this model, adding to its elite status.
The car goes on sale in 2013. | <urn:uuid:1846e288-d4cb-4e68-a0e7-8e83bdfc4da8> | CC-MAIN-2021-17 | https://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/article/437804/mercedes_electric_supercar_guilty_sticker_shock/ | 2021-04-22T02:36:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-17/segments/1618039560245.87/warc/CC-MAIN-20210422013104-20210422043104-00327.warc.gz | en | 0.944205 | 384 |

According to the Wisconsin Industrial Sand Association (WISA), three member companies were accepted into the Wisconsin DNR Green Tier program for environmental stewardship.
The companies are Badger Mining Corp., Unimin, and the Wisconsin Industrial Sand Co./Fairmont Minerals.
To be accepted, applicants must have a good environmental record, commit to superior environmental performance, and implement an Environmental Management System (EMS). Specific environmental performance strategies are established by the participant, allowing each company to commit to environmental activities that are sensitive to their unique strengths and opportunities, DNR said.
“What they’re looking for in the Green Tier program is companies that go beyond regulation when it comes to safety, health and environmental and are focusing on continuing improvement,” Lauren Evans, sustainable development coordinator for Fairmount Minerals, told WQOW TV.
Green Tier requires companies to develop plans like at Fairmount Minerals in Menomonie where they're striving to reduce waste from site operation by 20-percent from last year.
The DNR says more than 200 facilities are involved through close to 80 companies statewide in the Green Tier program. Two other WISA member companies, U.S. Silica and Superior Silica Sands, have applied for membership in the Green Tier Program, and are working their way through the process, the association said. | <urn:uuid:f2a8354c-b4dd-4770-991c-32560ea9263a> | CC-MAIN-2017-17 | http://www.rockproducts.com/frac-sand/12412-wisa-members-go-green.html | 2017-04-30T20:40:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-17/segments/1492917125849.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20170423031205-00182-ip-10-145-167-34.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.953454 | 272 |

This unique Australian orchid can be named (at least) three different ways, depending upon whether Dendrobium prenticei and Dendrobium (Dockrillia) lichenastrum are considered conspecific, and whether you separate Dockrillia from Dendrobium. I am certainly not qualified for taxonomic discussion of this intriguing group of orchids. My perspective is like many Australians: the separation of these unique orchids into Dockrillia makes intuitive sense. However, Dendrobium is the accepted genus by Kew.
We have three forms of this species, with a gradation in size of the canes. The largest is generally considered to be Dendrobium prenticei and the smallest being the form of Dendrobium lichenastrum in the majority of photographs below. The final photograph is my “large form” of Dendrobium lichenastrum (as described by Andy Phillips), or intermediate in size between the “small form” and Dendrobium prenticei.
Interested in more unique and beautiful orchid images?
My vision to create orchid portraits emerged from my appreciation for the “whole orchid.” So many photographs of orchids focus only on the flower. But orchids are not flowers: they are entire plants and living beings.

Just over one year ago, D’Angelo Harrison’s future was unclear.
The star guard had been suspended by coach Steve Lavin for unspecified conduct detrimental to the team, ending Harrison’s sophomore season and any chances of St. John’s returning to the NCAA Tournament.
Harrison was not even reinstated to the team when he spoke about the suspension for the first time at the All-Met College Basketball Awards in Tarrytown, but he was optimistic things would be different:
“I’ll be a different kind of guy and a way better player,” Harrison said. “This was about me becoming a better man and a better leader for the team.”
On Tuesday, it was declared no player in the New York area had been better, as the St. John’s junior guard was named the Haggerty Award winner, given to the best men’s basketball player in the area.
It is the 25th time a St. John’s player has won the award, first given out in 1936, with Harrison the first Red Storm recipient since Marcus Hatten in 2002.
On a young team, Harrison served as a leader and go-to guy in late-game situations, his anger and behavioral problems staying in the past. The Texas native spent time last offseason at the John Lucas Center and Wellness Program in Houston — where he will be again this summer — to work on those issues.
“I can’t thank the [coaching staff] enough for standing by me with all the troubles I had,” Harrison said Tuesday. “I put in the work and I made the best out of it I’m just glad to be here. I’m thrilled. I just feel completely different, like being two different guys.”
Harrison ranked fourth in the Big East in scoring (17.5 points) and became the Red Storm’s all-time leader in 3-pointers this season.
Joining Harrison on the first team were four seniors — LIU Brooklyn’s Jason Brickman, Manhattan’s George Beamon, Iona’s Sean Armand, Seton Hall’s Fuquan Edwin — and Stony Brook sophomore Jameel Warney.
JaKarr Sampson, who recently announced he will forgo his final two seasons at St. John’s and enter the NBA Draft, was named to the second team.
Manhattan coach Steve Masiello — still on leave while he completes his undergraduate degree during the offseason — was named Coach of the Year for the second time in his three seasons, but was not in attendance at the awards ceremony.
Fordham’s Jon Severe was named the Rookie of the Year. | <urn:uuid:50dc79c3-a1ce-4e3e-9e9e-5ded75c6dc82> | CC-MAIN-2018-30 | https://nypost.com/2014/04/22/dangelo-harrison-of-st-johns-named-top-player-in-ny-area/ | 2018-07-17T15:30:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-30/segments/1531676589752.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20180717144908-20180717164908-00450.warc.gz | en | 0.976084 | 580 |
Tony “Baldrick” Baldry, Tory MP for Banbury since 1983 and parliament’s most senior Freemason, has announced he is off:
“After careful thought over summer recess & discussions with my family, I have decided to stand down at the next General Election. It is an enormous privilege to represent the people of N.Oxon. I’m grateful for the friendship & support from constituents over so many years.”
Baldry has an 18,000 majority so it will be hard to spin it as a conspiracy, unlike with last night’s resignation of 2010 intake right-winger Chris Kelly, whose 3,800 majority was under threat in the UKIP target seat of Dudley South. Kelly says he’s not joining UKIP but wishes Carswell the best…

If you think you just caught a whiff of some great barbeque, Steve Heller must be somewhere around. Thankfully, Steve’s role as a certified BBQ judge who also competes with his team, "Smoking in the Boys Room," is only a pastime, and P&L still gets the benefits of his expertise on a daily basis. Steve started working for P&L Capital after graduating from Creighton University with a degree in Finance. With the creation of P&L Technology in 2004, Steve recognized a great opportunity, and was able to transition over at the company’s formation.
All BBQ cooking aside (and fishing, too), Steve finds great reward in helping businesses and organizations grow their businesses through effective use of their technology. And, he thinks that one of the greatest compliments he can receive is when a customer says they couldn’t live without P&L’s service, and that it has made a positive impact on their business.
What did you think you were going to be when you grew up?
Until I was 14, I was hoping for a MLB career. Later, I thought I’d probably end up doing something in the stock market on the analysis side.
What was your first job?
My first job was as a shoe shiner at a local country club. It was definitely a lesson in humility.
What movie character do you most identify with and why?
I have always identified with Boxer the horse from Animal Farm. His perception of working harder to overcome obstacles is a philosophy I tend to share. Loyalty is another trait of his that I identify with, too. Of course, Bud Davis from Urban Cowboy is another character I identify with -- we share a love of country music, Lone Star beer, and mechanical bulls.
Why do you stay at P&L Technology?
The culture of the company, the opportunity to succeed and the relationships I’ve been able to develop with local businesses. | <urn:uuid:ca76dc8a-c112-48f0-97d3-bd2b406ed18e> | CC-MAIN-2018-05 | http://www.pltechnology.com/company-information/team-approach/steve-heller/ | 2018-01-22T00:14:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-05/segments/1516084890928.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20180121234728-20180122014728-00725.warc.gz | en | 0.979113 | 404 |

Larry Lavine, the man best known for founding Chili’s in 1975, has plans to open a new restaurant in Richardson this summer. Ten 50 BBQ will serve “authentic, wood-fired Central Texas-style” barbecue in a newly remodeled building at the corner of U.S. 75 and Arapaho Road, adjacent to the DART rail station and not far from the newAlamo Drafthouse.
According to a release, meats will be smoked using nothing but wood — hickory, mesquite, oak and pecan — in its rotisserie and smokers. Expect brisket, ribs, pork roast, chicken, turkey and several varieties of sausage. The 10,000-square-foot restaurant also will serve homemade sides (jalapeño pinto beans, German potato salad with house-smoked bacon, maple sweet potato casserole, mac and cheese, roasted corn), pies and other Texas comfort food. Ten 50 will brine its own pickles and serve complimentary fresh-baked bread.
"Our guiding philosophy is that authentic Central Texas-style BBQ is the state’s greatest comfort food,” said Lavine in a release. “We have traveled the state over many years sampling the best BBQ and talking to top pitmasters, from highly acclaimed BBQ joints like Franklin and Snow’s to hole-in-the-wall places. We have been experimenting to perfect the art of BBQ and will take the care needed to ensure our meats and made-from-scratch dishes will consistently be great.”
As for the location, the Richardson Economic Development Partnership (REDP), a joint effort between the City of Richardson and its Chamber of Commerce, has been actively redeveloping the city’s central corridor since 2005. More than 130 new restaurants have opened in Richardson since 2007.
“We couldn’t be more excited about Ten 50 BBQ preparing to launch its concept in Richardson,” said Sue Walker, director of economic development with the REDP. | <urn:uuid:eedb7104-ff0b-4018-849d-9d506fc27fa8> | CC-MAIN-2019-13 | https://www.telecomcorridor.com/news/chilis-founder-prepares-to-fire-up-new-ten-50-bbq-joint-in-richardson | 2019-03-26T03:01:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-13/segments/1552912204768.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20190326014605-20190326040605-00362.warc.gz | en | 0.934099 | 443 |
Signaling a major step in the recognition of multiple chemical sensitivity as a physical disease triggered and maintained by exposure to toxic chemicals, a prestigious toxicology textbook is to include a chapter on the illness in its latest edition.
The soon to be published 3rd edition of General and Applied Toxicology will include an extensive chapter on the toxicological basis of multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) authored by Professor Martin Pall, PhD.
Pall is a leading researcher into MCS and author of the acclaimed book Explaining Unexplained Illnesses: Disease Paradigm for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, Fibromyalgia, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, and Gulf War Syndrome.
The inclusion of an objective chapter dedicated to MCS by in a toxicology textbook written by such a well respected figure in the MCS community is unprecedented and should be seen as a huge step towards gaining widespread acceptance of the condition as both physical and toxicological in nature. This is sure to help sufferers achieve more favourable outcomes with medical care, social security support, and legal matters.
Here Professor Pall reports on the work in his own words:
I was delighted when I was asked by the three editors of the future publication, General and Applied Toxicology, 3rd Edition (John Wiley & Sons) to write a review on multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) for this prestigious multivolume set. MCS, as I am sure you know, has been largely ignored by toxicologists in general and I was delighted that these three prominent scientists, all of whom had extensive published research on the actions of chemicals implicated in MCS, asked me to write such an article. This was important recognition not only for my own work on MCS but also that MCS is now recognized as a toxicological phenomenon.
The paper, entitled Multiple Chemical Sensitivity: Toxicological Questions and Mechanisms is the most extensively documented publication on MCS, and will be a 54 page chapter in this multivolume set. While the majority of this paper comes from my earlier publications on MCS, it also contains several very important sections that are largely novel.
1. There are seven classes of chemicals implicated in MCS and all seven of these can indirectly produce a common response in the body, increased NMDA activity. Furthermore, animal studies have shown that members of all seven of these classes of chemicals can have their toxic responses lowered by using an NMDA antagonist. This clearly demonstrates not only that they produce such increased NMDA activity but those increases play an important role in producing the toxic responses to these chemicals. Given that we previously had six types of evidence implicating excessive NMDA activity in MCS, we now have compelling evidence that this common response plays a key role in MCS.
2. The role of these chemicals acting as toxicants in MCS has been confirmed by four genetic studies, showing that genes that determine the rate of metabolism of these chemicals, influence susceptibility to MCS (only three were available when the review was written). These studies implicate six genes as determining such susceptibility, all of which have roles in the metabolism of chemicals otherwise implicated in initiating cases of MCS. It follows that the roles of chemicals in initiating cases of MCS is undeniable.
3. There have been a series of published studies reporting objectively measurable responses to low level chemical exposure among MCS cases that are distinct from any responses in normals. At least three of these should be practical specific biomarker tests that can be applied in clinical settings. All of these studies are consistent with the NO/ONOO- cycle mechanism as it is thought to play out in MCS and all provide, therefore, evidence supporting this mechanism. We have been in great need for such specific biomarker tests for MCS and these and other approaches to developing such tests must be further studied and may provide recognized specific biomarker tests in the near future, in my judgment.
4. All except one of the elements of the NO/ONOO- cycle as it is thought to play out in MCS have been studied in animal models and all elements studied are implicated in these animal models. It follows that one can make a strong case for a NO/ONOO- cycle mechanism based on animal model studies alone.
5. The paper finishes with a list of five areas of future research which are in most need of further study, in my judgment. We do have observational evidence that a protocol based on down-regulating the NO/ONOO- cycle mechanism is helpful in the treatment of most cases of MCS as well as most cases of ME/CFS and most cases of fibromyalgia. However, at this point this treatment fails to produce any substantial number of cures and seems to be quite variable in the extent of improvements apparently produced by it. Nevertheless, this approach does produce substantial apparent improvements in many people who have been ill for one, two or more decades. It is my hope that we will be able to add a second phase to such treatment that may start to produce at least some such cures, but that is a hope at this point.

On a neighborhood street somewhere north of here on a Halloween night nearly 50 years ago, two boys decided to knock at every door in a dragnet and rather efficient approach to the gathering of candy that would be desert in their school lunch bags for weeks to come.
They knocked on all the doors, regardless of whether the lights were off, and therein was the trap laid by a couple of brothers who were waiting for their age-appropriate victims.
Phillip knocked on the door. Clinton rang the doorbell. Without an answer, they turned toward the next house and were walking on the front walk parallel to the house when a man came from the attached carport and blew a bugle with a blare that made them turn back toward the front door, just as several lights came on, inside and out.
"Hey, do you want some candy?"
The question came from the front door and the reply was "That's why we're here."
"Step right up, boys. It's Halloween, the night for trick or treat."
The man with the bugle disappeared into the carport, and presumably back into the house.
Questions were asked about how much had been collected, what was preferred and what would be done with the candy.
Then it was game time. The donation would be doubled if talent and dexterity were displayed with a simple test conducted with a dime on the nose and a funnel in the waistband.
The big guy demonstrated. Lean back. Move forward. Look down by lowering your nose and drop the dime into the funnel. A clink was heard and a dime was retrieved from the funnel.
Phillip got two test runs. The second time, he was told he was getting better, closer, and that surely the third time would be the charm.
To encourage him to give it the shot needed for the prize, the man offered Phillip a much bigger funnel.
So, on the third try, after inserting the longer funnel in place, Phillip leaned way back, placed the dime on his nose and started to stand up straight so he could lower his head and drop that dime into the funnel.
Before he got that far, the man poured a pint of ice water down the funnel.
"Wooo! Wow! Dang that's cold!" Phillip was stepping fast and high in place at the front stoop.
The man then dumped many candy bars, lollipops, bubble gum, and chewy goodies into our trick or treat bags. He then handed Phillip an old (but clean) towel that was apparently stolen from a hotel.
Phillip was stuffing the towel down his pants when the man retreated into his house and slammed the front door as someone else was yelling "Happy Halloween" through a window above the walk to the front door.
One light was left on as the boys walked away. It was time to stop the candy campaign. Phillip wanted to go home. So they did, stepping quickly across the width of a dozen or so front yards.
Happy Halloween, and be careful tomorrow night. | <urn:uuid:5119590c-0a98-4ebe-adb8-1aeda4cea4c6> | CC-MAIN-2014-41 | http://www.marshalltribune.com/story/1583071.html | 2014-09-19T07:49:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-41/segments/1410657131145.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20140914011211-00332-ip-10-196-40-205.us-west-1.compute.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.984899 | 624 |

In Mr. Tulkinghorn's Room
Mr. Tulkinghorn arrives in his turret-room a little breathed by the journey up, though leisurely performed. There is an expression on his face as if he had discharged his mind of some grave matter and were, in his close way, satisfied. To say of a man so severely and strictly self-repressed that he is triumphant would be to do him as great an injustice as to suppose him troubled with love or sentiment or any romantic weakness. He is sedately satisfied. Perhaps there is a rather increased sense of power upon him as he loosely grasps one of his veinous wrists with his other hand and holding it behind his back walks noiselessly up and down.
There is a capacious writing-table in the room on which is a pretty large accumulation of papers. The green lamp is lighted, his reading-glasses lie upon the desk, the easy-chair is wheeled up to it, and it would seem as though he had intended to bestow an hour or so upon these claims on his attention before going to bed. But he happens not to be in a business mind. After a glance at the documents awaiting his notice — with his head bent low over the table, the old man's sight for print or writing being defective at night — he opens the French window and steps out upon the leads. There he again walks slowly up and down in the same attitude, subsiding, if a man so cool may have any need to subside, from the story he has related downstairs.
The time was once when men as knowing as Mr. Tulkinghorn would walk on turret-tops in the starlight and look up into the sky to read their fortunes there. Hosts of stars are visible to-night, though their brilliancy is eclipsed by the splendour of the moon. If he be seeking his own star as he methodically turns and turns upon the leads, it should be but a pale one to be so rustily represented below. If he be tracing out his destiny, that may be written in other characters nearer to his hand.
As he paces the leads with his eyes most probably as high above his thoughts as they are high above the earth, he is suddenly stopped in passing the window by two eyes that meet his own. The ceiling of his room is rather low; and the upper part of the door, which is opposite the window, is of glass. There is an inner baize door, too, but the night being warm he did not close it when he came upstairs. These eyes that meet his own are looking in through the glass from the corridor outside. He knows them well. The blood has not flushed into his face so suddenly and redly for many a long year as when he recognizes Lady Dedlock.
He steps into the room, and she comes in too, closing both the doors behind her. There is a wild disturbance — is it fear or anger? — in her eyes. In her carriage and all else she looks as she looked downstairs two hours ago.
Is it fear or is it anger now? He cannot be sure. Both might be as pale, both as intent.
She does not speak at first, nor even when she has slowly dropped into the easy-chair by the table. They look at each other, like two pictures.
"Why have you told my story to so many persons?"
"Lady Dedlock, it was necessary for me to inform you that I knew it."
"How long have you known it?"
"I have suspected it a long while — fully known it a little while."
He stands before her with one hand on a chair-back and the other in his old-fashioned waistcoat and shirt-frill, exactly as he has stood before her at any time since her marriage. The same formal politeness, the same composed deference that might as well be defiance; the whole man the same dark, cold object, at the same distance, which nothing has ever diminished.
"Is this true concerning the poor girl?"
He slightly inclines and advances his head as not quite understanding the question.
"You know what you related. Is it true? Do her friends know my story also? Is it the town-talk yet? Is it chalked upon the walls and cried in the streets?"
So! Anger, and fear, and shame. All three contending. What power this woman has to keep these raging passions down! Mr. Tulkinghorn's thoughts take such form as he looks at her, with his ragged grey eyebrows a hair's breadth more contracted than usual under her gaze.
"No, Lady Dedlock. That was a hypothetical case, arising out of Sir Leicester's unconsciously carrying the matter with so high a hand. But it would be a real case if they knew — what we know."
"Then they do not know it yet?"
"Can I save the poor girl from injury before they know it?"
"Really, Lady Dedlock," Mr. Tulkinghorn replies, "I cannot give a satisfactory opinion on that point."
And he thinks, with the interest of attentive curiosity, as he watches the struggle in her breast, "The power and force of this woman are astonishing!"
"Sir," she says, for the moment obliged to set her lips with all the energy she has, that she may speak distinctly, "I will make it plainer. I do not dispute your hypothetical case. I anticipated it, and felt its truth as strongly as you can do, when I saw Mr. Rouncewell here. I knew very well that if he could have had the power of seeing me as I was, he would consider the poor girl tarnished by having for a moment been, although most innocently, the subject of my great and distinguished patronage. But I have an interest in her, or I should rather say — no longer belonging to this place — I had, and if you can find so much consideration for the woman under your foot as to remember that, she will be very sensible of your mercy."
Mr. Tulkinghorn, profoundly attentive, throws this off with a shrug of self-depreciation and contracts his eyebrows a little more.
"You have prepared me for my exposure, and I thank you for that too. Is there anything that you require of me? Is there any claim that I can release or any charge or trouble that I can spare my husband in obtaining HIS release by certifying to the exactness of your discovery? I will write anything, here and now, that you will dictate. I am ready to do it."
And she would do it, thinks the lawyer, watchful of the firm hand with which she takes the pen!
"I will not trouble you, Lady Dedlock. Pray spare yourself."
"I have long expected this, as you know. I neither wish to spare myself nor to be spared. You can do nothing worse to me than you have done. Do what remains now."
"Lady Dedlock, there is nothing to be done. I will take leave to say a few words when you have finished." | <urn:uuid:08fe933d-53e9-4c99-b732-8c3083750004> | CC-MAIN-2018-30 | https://www.cliffsnotes.com/literature/b/bleak-house/summary-and-analysis/chapter-41/chapter-41-1 | 2018-07-16T20:19:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-30/segments/1531676589455.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20180716193516-20180716213516-00586.warc.gz | en | 0.985875 | 1,473 |
Perfect in the cool of the morning, this outback adventure ensures you see some of Australia’s most iconic species all before lunch!
Walk off your lunch with an afternoon trek high into the Asian Rainforest, through the cave-like Nocturnal House and along the dry riverbed of the African Savannah.
Journey back in time to discover some of Perth Zoo’s century-old historic features including some buildings still standing from the Zoo’s opening in 1898!
You can download any of these trails or collect a free printed copy from the Information Hub when you arrive.
Awesome Aussie Icons
9:00am – 11:00am Australian Bushwalk
Many Australian species are most active when it is cooler, so make the Australian Bushwalk the first on your to-do list and spend an hour or so among iconic kangaroos, koalas, echidnas, emus, Tasmanian Devils, wombats and dingos.
Don’t miss! At 10:30am (Oct–Apr) stop in at the Numbats Under Threat exhibit to learn all about Western Australia’s mammal emblem, the Numbat. This charismatic little marsupial abandons its secretive ways when the zoo keeper comes into the exhibit with its breakfast – a tasty mush of termites and custard!
11:00am – 12:30pm Reptiles, Penguins and Crocodiles
Head straight down to the Penguin Plunge to hear from a zoo keeper and watch the world’s smallest penguin feed underwater (11:15am).
As soon as you’re done there, cross the courtyard to the Reptile Encounter to learn all about our Aussie lizards and snakes. You may even have the chance to touch one if you make it in time for the Reptile Presentation (11:30am).
Back into the Australian Wetlands where we showcase the best of Aussie water birds as well as Australia’s most endangered reptile (and great conservation success story), the Western Swamp Tortoise. Found only in a tiny wetland pocket of Perth, breeding this little tortoise for re-introduction into protected habitat north of Perth has helped ease it back from the brink of extinction.
Exit the Australian Wetlands past our snappy dressers, the Freshwater Crocodiles and their massive Estuarine cousin, Simmo, and lurk near the shallows as you learn all about Australian crocodile species in the noon Keeper Presentation.
You’ll end up perfectly positioned among the BBQs and picnic tables of the main lawn just in time for lunch.
DON’T MISS! In summer (only), Simmo receives his weekly meal at 11:45am on a Sunday. Make it your business to be front and centre for this spectacular feed.
12:30pm– Relaxing lunch
Enjoy a picnic lunch on the lawn or visit the nearby Wild Bites café to pick up a range of food and drink (vegetarian & health options available).
Kids can work off their lunch in the nearby Variety Children’s Playground while parents enjoy a coffee under the trees and prepare themselves for a jam-packed afternoon.
Hoof and Claw
1:30pm–2:30pm Giants of Asia
Some Asian species are literally giants and others have giant reputations!
After lunch, head on up the hill toward the ancient ruin that marks the start of the Asian Rainforest and grab a seat at 1:45pm for one of our most popular animal moments – the Female Elephant Talk and enrichment activity. Let the elephants show you some of their natural behaviours and hear from the keepers who have been accepted as official members of the herd.
Wander further along the Asian trail and you’ll see elephants on one side and bamboo shrouded Sumatran Tigers on the other. Turn up the hill to find otters, Red Pandas, gibbons, the Komodo Dragon – all Asian species.
Back down the hill and you can look in on the bull elephant, Putra Mas, before stepping onto the Jungle School boardwalk to spend some time with one of the largest colonies of Sumatran Orangutans in any zoo in the world. For decades we’ve been running a world-class captive breeding program for this critically endangered big ape and Jungle School will tell you all about the work we’re doing for orangutans in the wild, too.
2:30pm – 3:00pm Things that go bump in the night
As you leave the Asian Rainforest, pause and introduce yourself to our two Galapagos Tortoises. Don’t let their size fool you…these giants of the Galapagos Islands (South America) can live longer than a century – but ours are not even halfway!
Now is a good time for a convenience-break in the Zoo’s green-powered toilets before you venture up the darkened pathways of the Nocturnal House.
Turn off your camera flash, let your eyes adjust and drop your voices as you enter the cave-like world of the Zoo’s night-loving creatures. Peer into the moonlit shadows to find owls, bats, woylies, possums, quolls, frogs and a range of Aussie spiders. Check out Australia’s version of the Easter Bunny – the Bilby. There’s even an invertebrate that glows under fluorescent light!
3:00pm – 4:00pm African Savannah
Spend an hour meandering down a dry riverbed past some of the best-known species of wild Africa – giraffe, zebra, meerkats, hyaena, rhinoceros, lion, and baboons. Recharge in the cool comfort of Camp N’dutu while you watch a short film about the African Painted Dog, then go and visit the real thing at the exit of the African Savannah.
4:00pm–4:30pm Rainforests & Islands
Your day is nearly done. Follow the road to your left and step onto the rainforest boardwalk that will take you past one of the custodians of our northern rainforests, the Southern Cassowary with its ancient-looking head-dress. They share this space with another rainforest curiosity, the Goodfellow’s Tree Kangaroo.
Follow the lake around toward the exit and check out the treetops on the two islands at its centre. A family of gibbons hangs out in the large pine tree on one island and a group of Black-and-white Ruffed Lemurs hurl themselves around the rope network on the other.
Time to go! Before you leave, ask yourself whether you saw everything you wanted to. If the answer is ‘no’ and you think you might come again in the next twelve months, then step up to the Memberships Counter and become a Zoo Friends member. It’s the best value way to visit as often as you like…and you’ll get today’s ticket refunded! See? You’re already saving!
Last stop before the exit is Zoonique, Perth Zoo’s gift shop. Shelves and shelves full of affordable, animal themed treasures to remember your visit by including Ele Art, plush toys and books for animal-lovers. | <urn:uuid:c63ce79f-b2bd-4f03-b79a-8cdc57daaa22> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | https://perthzoo.wa.gov.au/visiting-perth-zoo/suggested-itineraries | 2017-10-22T11:54:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187825227.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20171022113105-20171022133105-00800.warc.gz | en | 0.911349 | 1,529 |
This will be my first real post on this blog in a while. The truth is, I needed to clear my mind. I wasn’t getting the same enjoyment out of posting and I needed a break.
These past few months I’ve had a lot of time to think, and I’ve gone through a lot of changes in my life. I switched jobs, I’ve become more social,I’ve gotten a much-needed haircut, I’ve carefully examined my past and above all I’ve set goals. Goals are something I’ve always struggled with in everything I do. Even in my music I’ve often sought after instant gratification and it’s held me back. I’ve always approached much of life in that way. If I couldn’t accomplish something quickly and easily, than it wasn’t worth trying. It may have taken some words of encouragement from a friend and a little counseling, but I now realize that I’ll never be happy living in limbo, and I can’t rely on other people to create or provide that happiness for me.
Goals are the most important thing in life. Learning how to make them has been one of the hardest things I’ve done. I’ve struggled with my fear of setting out to accomplish something and then realizing I want something different. The bottom line is that goals aren’t static, they are dynamic. They can change and adapt to me as I myself change and adapt as a human being.
I’ve set a few goals over the last little bit. Some of them concern my music, some my finance and others my personal life. Above all I finally decided what I want to do education wise. Six years from graduating high school I have finally completed my first college application and it feels great.

Posted 18 March 2005 - 08:19 PM
Living here in Oregon, we hear alot about the Bigfoot & Sasquatch sightings that seem to be common in certain areas of Oregon & Washington.
Sightings appear to be seasonal, which I find interesting- that would mean that the creature would appear nomadic.
I have to say that Bigfoot is my favorite Crypto-Kritter, although the Dover Demon sightings really had me scared to look into the branches of trees for a while...
Yellow or red-eyed Graveyard dogs, also considered Black Dogs, are also of a big interest to me as I've seen a couple of them, and I'm not sure what the deal is with that. However, I did not feel threatened by either encounter. The one time I saw the Graveyard Dog I was very young & walking along with my friend's family of Spanish descent. They told me in Spanish & English just to ignore it, that it was a "Devil Dog" and it would just go away. It followed us along for a while before it did bound away and I didn't see it again.
What amazes me about this encounter, is the fact that the family was very nonchalant about the appearance of the "Devil Dog." Culturally, its appearance wasn't to be feared, but ignored. I remember it had yellow eyes and I've never forgotten that. The other one I encountered had a magenta tint in its eyes and wasn't all black, but more of a mottled coat. I actually talked to that one, and he eventually turned from me and went to who knows where.

Looking for a talented website developer for our initial website. We don't need anything over the top, but certainly something sharp and sophisticated is required. I'm quite taken by a company's website at www.westbankcorp.com. Now in my mind this is the extreme, and doesn't need to be this developed. However I enjoy the structure and atmosphere (the black/glass background) of being able to select the different projects; however the movements throughout the website it's necessary. However all in all, I'm open to suggestions and am willing to adjust my price likewise. So bring forward any proposals (perhaps based on past work) and I'll be happy to look through them.

Data Availability StatementAll data generated or analyzed in this scholarly research are one of them published content. appearance account in another 116 GC specimens was also discovered with immunohistochemistry (IHC). The adjustments in the proliferation and migration of MKN45 and MGC-803 cells folllowing transfection with little interfering RNA (siRNA) had been discovered by cell keeping track of kit (CCK)-8, traditional western blot analysis, and Transwell invasion and migration assays. The outcomes revealed which the appearance of Prx II in GC tissue and GC cells had been significantly upregulated weighed against the standard control. There is a substantial association between your appearance degree of Prx II and different elements, including tumor size, histological differentiation, the depth of invasion, the stage of tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) and lymph node metastasis in GC (P 0.05). Success in sufferers with higher Prx II appearance was significantly decreased compared with those with lower Prx II manifestation (P 0.01). Prx II, depth of invasion, lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis were BSF 208075 inhibitor database identified as self-employed prognosis factors of GC (P 0.05). Knockdown of Prx II significantly suppressed the proliferation and the migration of GC cells. These experiments exposed that Prx II promotes the development of GC, influencing the survival of individuals with GC. illness (5C7). However, the molecular mechanisms of GC are not fully recognized, and include a variety of tumor-associated factors and genetic modifications of tumor suppressor factors. Molecular studies investigating alterations in solitary genes have offered evidence that GC progresses via different genetic pathways (8C10). Consequently, the present study targeted to decipher the molecular mechanism of GC, in order to set up deeper understanding of GC and determine possible treatments for individuals with GC. Peroxiredoxins (Prxs) exist in prokaryotes and eukaryotes, and regulate the redox reaction in the body. Researchers have shown that Prxs are highly expressed in different cancer cells and immortalized cell lines (including lung, renal and hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines), and promote the progression of malignancy (11,12). Large manifestation of Prxs is normally from the security of malignancy and tumors, which includes been connected with level of resistance of cell lines against specific chemotherapies and radiotherapies (13,14). Among the six the different parts of the peroxiredoxin family members, Prx II acts essential roles in various tumors. Lehtonen (15) reported BSF 208075 inhibitor database which the appearance of Prx II was upregulated in bosom carcinoma. Soini (16) confirmed which the appearance of Prx II was from the advancement of renal cancers. However, the result of Prx II appearance on GC development remains unclear. In today’s research, the association between Prx II GC and expression was investigated using GC tissues and cells. Epithelial-mesenchymal-transition (EMT) consists of adjustments in epithelial cells into ectomesenchymal cells under particular circumstances. It is involved with regulating tissue advancement and repairing tissues injuries, and it is from the invasion and BSF 208075 inhibitor database metastasis of tumors (17). The proteins BSF 208075 inhibitor database connected with EMT, including N-cadherin and E-cadherin, serve a significant function in GC (18,19). Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and MMP-9 may also be from the Rabbit polyclonal to ARHGAP5 metastasis of GC. The existing analysis aimed to investigate the effect of Prx II on GC cell migration and proliferation by detecting the changes in MMP-2, MMP-9, E-cadherin and N-cadherin manifestation in GC following a downregulation of PrxII. It was exposed that Prx II advertised the proliferation and migration of GC cells. Thus, Prx II may be a encouraging target for treatment in GC. Materials and methods Individuals and samples Between January 2009 and December 2010, a total of 116 paraffin-embedded sections were collected from individuals who underwent gastrectomy in the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical College (Xuzhou, China). These samples were converted to a tissues microarray, as well as the appearance of Prx II was looked into using immunohistochemistry (IHC). A healthcare facility picks up the expression of Ki-67 in GC tissue following surgery routinely. The positive appearance price of Ki-67 was 62.1% (72/116) in GC tissue, which indicated the proliferation of GC with higher Ki-67 appearance was significantly increased weighed against people that have lower Ki-67 appearance. Additionally, 45 situations of sufferers with principal gastric carcinoma getting gastrectomy on the Associated Medical center of Xuzhou Medical School between Sept 2015 and January 2016 had been included.

Parenting Through the Tough Topics
By Jen Holman
This June Savvy issue is a little heavy, isn’t it? But as anyone who’s lived through tragedy or even a house-wide stomach bug knows, parenting isn’t all morning hugs and lemonade stands. It can be tough—on bodies, on budgets, on marriages, on psyches. Like life, one of the most important aspects of parenting is how we deal with the hard times, the tough topics.
There has been a lot in the news lately about kids hurting themselves and each other. Like the rest of the country, Arkansas is faced with an epidemic of addiction to opioids. Every other day in the United States, a child under 10 is killed or disabled through an accidental shooting. From cyber bullying to teen addiction to preventable gun deaths, it’s easy to think the world is headed to hell in a handbasket. If it is, where does salvation lie? With us, the parents of the next generation.
I’ve been talking to my 9-year-old a lot lately about bullying. When reading news reports about the horrific way some kids are treated by their peers, it’s easy to say, “Oh, my child would never do that.” But, isn’t that what every parent says? If no parent’s child would do such a terrible thing, whose is?
I’ve discovered it’s important to distinguish between rude, mean and bullying when talking about the topic, because kids have trouble grasping the difference. Rude, author and educator Signe Whitson notes, is unintentionally doing or saying something that hurts someone. Mean is inflicting intentional damage once, or maybe twice. Bullying, though, is “intentionally aggressive behavior, repeated over time, that involves an imbalance of power.”
Even though it’s difficult, I’m trying to navigate parenting with my eyes wide open. One way I’ve found to talk to my oldest child about how to stop or prevent bullying is with the concept of social currency. The term is often used when referring to a person or business’s online influence, but I think it works for the schoolyard, too. She has a network of friends who accept her, and plenty of support at home. She is rich in social currency. She can afford to spend some of it if she notices a classmate alone in the lunchroom or on the playground. She has enough social currency that she can stand up to anyone at school who’s being mean to or bullying another, and her friends will not abandon her.
As confident and experienced adults, we parents (hopefully) wouldn’t hesitate to stand up for someone being wronged. When I was a kid, though, it was hard to deviate from the group. I think it’s even harder now for children growing up in a social media “status like” world.
Relatedly, cyber bullying is at an all-time high, but parents, unfamiliar with some social media and messaging sites, often don’t know it’s happening. According to CyberBullying.gov, 52 percent of teenagers reported being cyber bullied, though over half did not tell their parents. Twenty-five percent reported repeated bullying by cell phone, which over 80 percent of them use, making it the most common medium. What can we do to combat this? Take away their phones? Some parents may choose to. Others will hopefully take the approach of early and repeated education.
Many of our state’s prescription drug abuses and accidental gun deaths are preventable, too. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration says misused prescription pills are often obtained by teens from parents or relatives without their knowledge. Do you have prescriptions you’d like to dispose of? This searchable map of drop-off locations is covered with options: artakeback.org/search-collection-sites. BeSmartForKids.org is a great resource for tips on talking about responsible gun storage.
It’s easy to feel hopeless and helpless when faced with negative news. But as parents responsible for rearing little people, we must remember that we have choices, we have resources and we are in charge. A little proactive, hands-on parenting can go a very long way toward our children’s safety and our own happiness. And, hey, if we make the world a little better place to live in the process—bonus. | <urn:uuid:8421e369-4d2d-425f-8e93-b92b3f04810b> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://thesavvymoms.com/parenting-through-the-tough-topics-june-2017 | 2017-11-22T16:29:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806615.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20171122160645-20171122180645-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.959676 | 940 |
UPDATE: Currently 286K + have signed the Petition since this Press Release – released on 7/6/2011
Quick Link to sign petition here: http://www.change.org/petitions/create-caylees-law
CAMPAIGN TO CREATE “CAYLEE’S LAW”
After following the Casey Anthony trial who was on trial for murdering her two year old daughter I was not happy with the out come. Something happened to this little girl and those responsible will go unpunished. I can not say for sure of course if Casey is responsible for the actual murder of her daughter but her actions regarding her disappearance in itself is enough to show the world how much that little girl DID NOT mean to her. As a mother myself my heart breaks for the life that will never been lived and the spirit of that cute little girl that went to heaven way to soon. I just received this press release and felt it an important one to pass on to my readers. I WHOLEHEARTEDLY agree with this petition and feel that it should indeed be a felony to not report any child missing!
Oklahoma woman calls for parents who fail to notify police of missing child to be charged with felony; more than 37,000 supporters join in less than 24 hours
WASHINGTON, DC – More than 37,000 people in all 50 states have joined a Change.org campaign calling for a federal law — called “Caylee’s Law” — that would make the failure of a parent to notify law enforcement of a child’s disappearance a felony.
Casey Anthony was found “not guilty” of first-degree murder or manslaughter on Tuesday in the case of her two-year-old daughter Caylee’s death. One of the central controversies of the case has been the fact that Anthony never notified law enforcement that her daughter was missing. Caylee was last seen on June 16, 2008; grandmother Cindy Anthony notified the police on July 15, a month later.
After hearing the verdict and seeing a Facebook page response, Oklahoman Michelle Crowder started a Change.org petition asking Congress to create “Caylee’s Law,” making it a federal offense and a felony for a parent or guardian to fail to report a child’s disappearance to law enforcement.
Nearly 2,000 people have signed the “Caylee’s Law” petition each hour since its creation, making it the fastest-growing campaign on Change.org.
“When I saw that Casey Anthony had been found not guilty in the murder of little Caylee, and that she was only being convicted of lying to the police about her disappearance, I was sickened; I could not believe she was not being charged with child neglect or endangerment, or even obstruction of justice,” said petition-starter Michelle Crowder.
“I saw a page on Facebook proposing that a law be made, but I saw nothing about a petition being started for it. So, I decided to start one on Change.org because I have signed several petitions on the site and I knew it would be a way to reach people and hopefully get something done.”
Michelle continued, “I am hoping that this will be made into a federal law so that no other child’s life, disappearance, and/or death is treated in the manner that poor Caylee’s was treated. No child deserves that.”
“There is extensive debate about this issue, and this campaign has been remarkable,” said Change.org founder Ben Rattray. “In less than 24 hours, a woman in Oklahoma has recruited tens of thousands of supporters for her cause. Change.org is about empowering anyone, anywhere, to take action on the issues that are important to them, and it is the perfect platform for this record-breaking campaign.”
Change.org, the world’s fastest-growing platform for social change, was profiled this week in the New York Times, Sacramento Bee, and Washington Times.

Why are politicians hesitant to admit they made a mistake even though everybody knows they did?
In the 'real' world, we're led to believe that if you screw-up, man-up and people will respect you for it.
Why isn't that the case in politics?
I'm alluding to, of course, the Peter MacKay and Rona Ambrose press conference on Wednesday about the F-35 'reset.'
During the 30 minute press conference, we learned that the cost of 65 F-35 fighter jets will be about $45.8-billion over a 42 year period — a far cry from the $16 billion figure touted by the Tories in the 2011 election campaign. We also learned that the government will now evaluate all available options for acquiring new fighters.
John Geddes of Macleans Magazine summarizes the 'take-away' from yesterday's news the best:
"Every element of his and the government's earlier line of argument on the F-35—that it was the only jet that could possibly do the job, that the cost had been properly assessed and explained to taxpayers, that there was no chance an open bidding process might get Canada an adequate fighter for a better price—has been thoroughly junked."
So why can't the Tories just admit that they were wrong?
Is it too much to want an apology from MacKay in particular — an admission that his Department of National Defence screwed-up?
Why don't politicians like to apologize?
Yahoo! Canada News went to two political consultants with that very question.
Here are their responses:
Marcel Wieder, President of Arrow Communications Group:
"Politicians approach things differently from you or I.
If you or I make a mistake and we admit it there is very little likelihood that it will make the front page of a paper, the lead story of a broadcast or be tweeted to the masses. We make our apologies and go on with our lives.
In the case of a politician, admitting mistakes results in news stories, endless social media commentary and attacks by opposition politicians and groups. The mistake is then turned into a character or judgement flaw and examination of previous actions and decisions are made in search for similar mistakes. All of which is emotionally and intellectually draining on the politician and their staff. It distracts from the work that the politician is undertaking and in some cases makes them second guess their decisions.
The stakes for a politician admitting to an error are very high. Governments have toppled over mistakes and as a result politicians fight them very vigorously.
There are some who would believe that it is better reject the argument in hopes that it will blow over than to admit the mistake and have it used against you repeatedly."
Gerry Nicholls, Communications Consultant:
"The Conservative strategy is simple: always attack, never defend.
Admitting a mistake would be a defensive move, that would knock them off their central political message, i.e. Conservatives are good economic managers.
Also it would give the Opposition a victory and the Conservatives don't want to hand their foes a win if at all possible. It's important the government appear invincible."
I get what the learned consultants are saying. But I still want my apology. | <urn:uuid:7de68795-5541-4ccf-846f-8c1af0dea80b> | CC-MAIN-2018-17 | https://ca.news.yahoo.com/blogs/canada-politics/why-t-peter-mackay-just-sorry-164948031.html | 2018-04-20T11:05:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-17/segments/1524125937440.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20180420100911-20180420120911-00500.warc.gz | en | 0.975874 | 661 |

Region B Skills Challenge Contest
By Bryan Light
The 2006 Brick SouthEast Manpower Forum was held on October 14, 2006, at the San Destin Hilton in San Destin, Florida.
Twenty-eight, first, second, and third year apprentices from the 9 state BSE region labored for, not only, southern bragging rights, but also for the opportunity to compete in the International Skills Challenge, sponsored by MCAA. The contest was a 3 1/2 hour event, not including the written test that was given the day before. Local suppliers donated the materials, and the judging was done by selected masonry instructors, masons, and architects from throughout the region.
Next years BSE Manpower Forum will be held at the San Destin Hilton on October 12-13, 2007.

An idealist focuses on things as they should be, whereas a realist focuses on things as they are. While an idealist is not satisfied until he sees reality achieve its optimal state, a realist is content with the most approximate results. These two philosophies are informed by distinct metaphysics that originated in ancient Greece.Continue Reading
Idealism is a focus on the ideal, that which is perfect and uncorrupted. For the idealist, ideas are the true reality. This way of thinking in large part comes from Plato, who conceived of a special plane of existence in which every idea has a pure and perfect form. For Plato, true wisdom and enlightenment comes when one consciously experiences these ideals. Thus, idealists are unsatisfied with the imperfections of the mundane. They are generally confident in their ability to implement their conception of "the good" despite considerable practical obstructions.
Realists look at things the way they are. Unlike idealists, they are more prone to accept obstacles and settle for "good enough." Aristotle, a student of Plato, espoused an early form of realism. He rejected the notion of a plane of perfect forms. Instead of conceiving of the best possible social order, he studied existing systems of government and analyzed their strengths and weaknesses to determine what works in reality.Learn more about Philosophy | <urn:uuid:154d7fab-b374-4597-a3a1-a61955aae35d> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | https://www.reference.com/world-view/difference-between-idealist-realist-7ea5d4e5482e4d04 | 2016-10-27T17:01:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988721355.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183841-00232-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.964413 | 268 |
Unfortunately, after getting all dolled up and eating our amazing BBQ dinner at 11:15pm, the girls who´d promised to take us all out never showed up. Very disappointing. A big group of us headed for a nearby bar, and drank the local special of red wine mixed with coca cola...couldn´t really taste the coke. It wasn´t nearly as fun as dancing would have been, but we still managed to roll home around 4am.
Judy, my lovely new Dutch friend, and I jumped on our bus (half an hour late) and spent the 3 hours to Salta trying to sleep but not succeeding. The hostel here also has a pool, and that´s where we spent the remainder of the afternoon. It must have been around 8pm when we decided to head to the supermarket to cook something for dinner. Even though dinner is actually included in the hostel price, they weren´t serving until 10:30! It was the perfect time of day, still sunlight but a lovely cool breeze blowing through the town. We came to a lovely park where there were lots of people, balloons, and market stalls. Very pleasant to stroll through. By the time we finished enjoying ourselves and cooking and eating our yummy spinach pasta, we weren´t that far ahead of the others eating dinner!
Today, we walked further into the city centre, and were amazed and somewhat bemused at the pale blue and pale pink churches we saw. Beautiful, but a bit kitchsy as well. We stopped in the main square for a coffee (my first real cortado since I went to Spain - fantastico!) and on a whim decided we should go to Cafayate, thinking it would only be an hour by bus max. We headed to the bus station, only to discover that it was actually a 3 hour 45 minute trip, and since the bus didn´t leave till 1pm it just wasn´t going to be possible. So we headed to the cable car/gondola that goes up a ´mountain´and it was a lovely view of the big mountains bordering Salta city and the city itself, which is much widely spread than I had originally thought. It was also lovely and cool and shady up there, the perfect place to take some rest for a while.
We´ve booked tickets to Humauaca tomorrow morning at 7am...it´s going to be tough to get up (considering the bottle of wine that we´ve got cooling in the fridge) but hopefully we´ll see some more interesting natural sights there - getting a bit over cities and towns.

Very first thing you presume that you have lost your money and you will be fighting a lost battle. So start fighting first by sending her a legal notice to repay the loan advanced by you to her otherwise you will be compelled to take civil/criminal legal action and after getting her reply or not getting reply in stipulated period file a criminal complaint with Police Commissioner/Superintendent of Police of the area where your daughter-in-law stays. Your stand is simply you advanced loan to your daughter-in-law which she is not repaying. She was advanced money with trust that she will repay, therefore she is accused u/s.417, 418 & 420 of IPC (cheating) and 406 (breach of trust). You have to file private complaints against her at magistrate court and civil case for recovery of money for which you will have to come in person at least for few times.
Your case is very strange. I observe that in such circumstances you have not mentioned what advise you have received from your advocate on your matter or simply a cricket /football game is being played on this forum.

I love words. I am always searching for the right word. If you consider yourself a writer, you know how great it feels when you find the right word to describe something. If you write about something often enough, you also know how interesting it is to compare some of your earlier writing with your current writing. You can see how you have grown as a writer, or perhaps, even see how what you have been writing about has changed over time. When you work at a start-up, you might change the way that you talk about your organization very frequently. The program development cycle is fascinating as you continuously search for that Goldilocks “just right” feeling, and more often than not, the third try may not be the charm.
Take the VDC for example.
The VDC’s team has used a lot of words over the past few years to describe what we do. We spend a lot of time with words and with messaging. How do we help our audiences understand what we do? (Note: once you think you know how to do this, you begin questioning who your audience actually is.) My goal is always to help others understand what we do without walking away with more questions than answers. At a PRSSA conference last year, I told marketing strategist David Meerman-Scott that I struggled with the using the word, “innovation” (a word the VDC often uses) in a university setting. He didn’t doubt the struggle and challenged me to bring it back to basics and to avoid “gobbledygook“. (Check out the # 1 top gobbledygook phrase used in 2008).
As the VDC became a physical reality, I started to notice a change in how I described what we do. When the 400 square-foot spaces that are now labs were nothing more than framing and drywall, I would take internal and external community members on tours and say, “we have temporary labs and offices for research and development activities”. Most people understood what this meant but I was hesitant to use the one word that would be most efficient to use to describe the VDC–incubator.
Until now. The VDC opened its doors officially on May 1 and since then 5 companies and one university initiative have moved in. The concept of a VDC at UMass Boston has become a reality and we are discovering more and more about what that means every day. The VDC is providing companies and university initiatives with business mentoring and connections to valuable resources both from within and outside of the university. Our program is designed to help these ventures to grow. When I take members from the university community or prospect partners into one of the VDC’s labs, I now say that the the VDC is UMass Boston’s incubator. And they get it. And so do I. – CDP | <urn:uuid:809a3c52-59ca-43fe-83d0-efdf927347b5> | CC-MAIN-2021-31 | https://vdc.umb.edu/2009/07/21/becoming-umass-boston%E2%80%99s-managed-incubator/ | 2021-07-24T15:06:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-31/segments/1627046150266.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20210724125655-20210724155655-00176.warc.gz | en | 0.972611 | 593 |

It has been an interesting week so far, to say the least. When I posted these photos on Facebook, I never expected the negative reaction I received from a prominent local conservative, talk radio host Joyce Kaufman. Just to clarify: from all I've heard up to this point, Joyce and I are in agreement on a vast majority of issues, from Israel's right to exist in peace to our government's serious obligation to protect our borders and clamp down on ILLEGAL immigration. Back in January, I attended one of her pro-Israel rallies, when the Gaza conflict was in full-force, and stood in solidarity with Christians and Jews while hateful Palestinians screamed and gestured despicable insults at us.
Joyce was the organizer behind these commendable rallies, which still take place every Tuesday evening in Fort Lauderdale. I admire her commitment and dedication to this worthy cause. I also owe her a debt of gratitude for allowing me an entire segment on her show to discuss my book and Soldiers' Angels fundraiser, along with current events and my blogging efforts here at Palin-Drone. With this new administration giving us and endless supply of righteous outrage (not to mention heartburn), one would think JK would devote her entire three hours to informing her listeners of the government's ever-increasing usurpation of power, and spurring them into action. You'd also be inclined to believe she'd commend the efforts of an admittedly small group of dedicated conservative citizens who, despite the sea of left-wingers surrounding them in Broward County, enthusiastically take to the street corners every Saturday in Fort Lauderdale to protest the Obamanation.
You'd be flat-out wrong!
Joyce began by critiquing my Facebook photos from the Tea Party and CAIR protest last week, demanding that we "get organized" and ridiculing the work of devoted patriot and anti-CAIR activist, Joe Kaufman of Americans Against Hate, a man who only deserves praise and admiration for his sheer courage in taking on radical Islam and its local enablers like Mayor Stacy Ritter.
Many immediately jumped to my defense on Facebook (thanks everyone!), but Joyce didn't stop there. Every day this week so far, she has used her not-so-golden microphone to lambaste the Fort Lauderdale Tea Party protestors as people "running around with their heads cut off." On Monday, the eve of this past Tuesday's City Council elections, she had the audacity to state that "the people on the corner don't even know there's an election tomorrow!"
Um, excuse me Ms. Kaufman, but the people who take 3-4 hours out of their Saturday to stand outside and protest this horrid President and his far-left policies are among the most politically astute I've ever met. How dare you insult them like that! Oh, and by the way, we all voted on Tuesday.
As bad as she was on Monday and Tuesday, yesterday, our conservative host reached a new low when discussing the release of Gitmo prisoners. She tarnished a valid point about the horror of Obama's decision to shut down Guantanamo to appease his radical base by suggesting (tongue-in-check, of course) that the enemy combatants should be "dropped off at Tea Parties!" Then Ms. Kaufman went on to say that she'll never participate in a "tea party," as if we're all sitting around drinking a hot cup of Darjeeling and eating krumpets!
Hey Joyce, the Tea Party connotation? It's an historical reference to a "little" event that took place some 200+ years ago, when angry colonists had their fill of "taxation without representation" from the Mother Land, thus setting the stage for America's eventual independence.
Ms. Kaufman also wondered if we protestors had ever called our local congressional representatives, sent them emails and signed petitions. Yes on all three counts, Ms. Kaufman. Here's an example: I was one of the "loud and proud" people who defied President Bush and Senators McCain and Graham on the disgusting amnesty legislation. Along with my fellow citizens, I "melted the switchboards" twice, until we killed the bill.
Let me be clear: I acknowledge Joyce's right not to participate in our Tea Parties, and her right to avoid publicizing them on her show. What I do take issue with however, is her constant demonization of people who are simply exercising their right to assembly and peaceful protest.
Does she think we're taking time out of our weekend to endure the obscenities of passers-by because we have nothing better to do?
We're all scared for our county. And along with holding elected leaders' feet to the fire and voting in every election, we are joining with thousands across the nation to fight FOR freedom, capitalism, the US Military and Israel; and AGAINST "taxation without deliberation," and this administration's determination to punish producers and reward sloths.
I've been incredibly angry about this all week, but I really ought to thank Joyce: far from dampening my enthusiasm, she's actually energized me and refueled my determination (which was already pretty high-octane).
Saturday is my birthday, and I can't think of a better way to spend it than with my co-patriots on a Fort Lauderdale corner, on a beautiful South Florida day, fighting for my country. Hey, Doc Paul and Mark don't call me Muzz for nothing!

Consolidating itunes library itunes 10 sarajevo online dating
This means that you will essentially need to manually import all of your music and other media files into a single library database.
This can either be a completely new i Tunes library that you create in order to consolidate everything, or you can simply import the content from your other libraries into whichever is your “main” library.
Another option is you plan on accessing your i Tunes library database from multiple computers is to simply put the i Tunes library on the networked hard drive and then point all of your computers to use that database.
Note, however, that you will still need to be very careful about only running one copy of i Tunes at a time as it is not designed to be accessed by multiple computers and data corruption can occur if you try to do this.
I would like to have everything in a central location be it the networked hard drive or the Mac Mini, although my preference is the networked hard drive.
Ideally, your primary goal should be to consolidate all of your music into a single i Tunes library, with the music stored in a single location.
I primarily had my music stored on my Mac Book, but once that got too small I bought a 400 GB networked hard drive and started storing my music there.
I also now have songs from several hundred CD’s on my new Mac Mini that aren’t on either my i Phone or my i Pod.
If your other i Tunes libraries contain playlists that you want to migrate to the new main library, you can do this by opening these other libraries, selecting the individual playlists you want to export and then choosing starting i Tunes on your computer.But, there are cases when it is required to stream videos and music to devices that may be connected all over the house.If a house has more than one personal computer to manage, you can then consolidate the libraries of i Tunes from multiple devices into one single library on a selected computer.There are certain techniques, however, we can make the process of merging libraries easier. file can be used to import libraries from other computers.i Tunes will write those files in a format that is easily readable so that all other applications can also get a compiled list of the content of the library. | <urn:uuid:32c90acd-4a06-4180-a2d1-7c6852948162> | CC-MAIN-2018-34 | http://dominionspb.ru/consolidating+itunes+library+itunes+10/c68cf312a65411cea24f4fd92cfc871e.html | 2018-08-20T03:39:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-34/segments/1534221215523.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20180820023141-20180820043141-00706.warc.gz | en | 0.94793 | 479 |
After staying home with his two sons for a year and his daughter since her infancy, Tim Myers knows all about being a stay-at-home parent. He knows the most effective cleaning products, which snacks to buy, and has developed a “housemaid’s knee.” He has experienced first-hand the profound influence fathers have on their children, along with the challenges of being a committed parent. By recounting personal experiences, offering honest, sincere opinions, and including quizzes for fatherly-preparedness, Tim Myers emphasizes the importance of fatherly contribution and influence in the home. He shows fathers that they are not only vital to home life, but that fatherhood also brings great joy into men’s lives, not to mention a surprising amount of plain old fun. In addition, Myers details the essential role of fathers, and the very real (and sometimes frustrating) transition into taking an active role in home life. Poignant, funny, and inspiring, Glad to be Dad is perfect for both aspiring fathers and seasoned veterans.

Finance and I
Why Finance and I mix?
Finance is in the blood. Numbers always excited me.
Motto I live my quarters by...
Given the fast paced world we breathe in, I live by months, not by quarters. I strongly believe that it is better to live by the day, set your goals high, keep doing the right things and don’t stop until you get there.
Being CFO to me means....
The responsibility to ensure that the company is financially prudent and aware about the path it has taken.
When I switch any company I would like to be remembered for
I hope the need to switch to any other company never arises. (Smiles) At the end of the day, I would like to be remembered for setting up the culture of transparency and innovation in the company.
Next pit stop
To maintain growth momentum and strive for break-even in next 12 months.
To take EarlySalary to the topnotch position in short term financing products.
Given the fast paced world we breathe in, I strongly believe that it is better to live by the day, set your goals high, keep doing the right things and don’t stop until you get there.
Another financial professional I look up to
Abhijit Gulanikar, my first boss for his zeal to strive to achieve excellence and not stopping before achieving the same.
Leaders/mentors do I look up to
I look at leaders/ mentors who, in adversity, lead the team from the front with zeal and confidence and take the company to the next level.
One deal I wish I had done
None. No regret in life.
One thing I still want to learn
Most overrated financial advice
Life cycle investing where one is advised to shift from one asset class to other asset class based on age.
My mantra for adapting for change...
Take the team in confidence to help them adapt the change and execute it.
In the War Zone
What was the toughest decision you had to make in your role as a CFO?
Slowing down the business and preserving cash when uncertainty with respect to next fundraising increased.
What is the most challenging thing you faced in your current role? What is your biggest learning in these VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, ambiguous) times?
The few months leading to the Series A funding were the most challenging months in my current role. The cash flows were low and the visibility on funds was also low. The biggest learning is perseverance and survival. As rightly said by Paulo Coelho, “when you want something, the entire universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”
How do you wish to transform the CFO’s role in the future?
A CFO is not just a finance and number keeper, he also plays a big role in leading the organization from the front.
Do you feel that with current scenario of digital transformation your business metrics have changed? How?
Our product is an example of digital transformation. With so much focus on digital, we think we are at the right place at the right time.
Have you transformed into a Digital CFO yet?

A letter delivered by developer Stewart Coleman to a group of demonstrators holding a vigil beneath the magnolia tree that sits on the controversial Parkside property states his intention to cut down the tree “sometime after 35 days from today’s date.”
Coleman told Xpress that he drafted the letter as part of a promise he made to demonstrators when he met with them in July. Responding to charges that he may cut the tree under darkness of night, Coleman told the group he would not do so without notice. The blog Asheville on the Ground has this account of the conversation.
“I gave [demonstrator Steve Rasmussen] my word that I would give him no less than 35 days notice,” Coleman said. “I’m honoring my word.”
The letter says the Coleman plans to apply for the permits necessary to demolish the adjacent Hayes and Hopson building as well.
According to a press release from Rasmussen and fellow demonstrator Lady Passion, demonstrators plan to respond in a press conference tomorrow (Thursday) at noon at the tree in front of Asheville City Hall.
As for the hand delivery, Coleman said he had no address for the demonstrators, and “I couldn’t give it to the post office and address it to the people sitting under the tree.”
The text of the letter is transcribed below, followed by the press release from Rasmussen and Lady Passion.

The tradition of Christmas is a tradition of traditions. Every family carries their own. Even though they morph over the years, those traditions are part of what makes this time of year so awesome. That, and all the treats.
In the Western world, no holiday compares to Christmas. We spend more money, more time, and give more attention to the Christmas holiday than any other, even if we’re not religious.
Many traditions we’ve borrowed from other religions. Case in point, that lighted triangular tree in our homes has nothing to do with the story of Jesus. That’s okay. It’s still fun as heck to decorate.
As we celebrate, we ought to pay respects to the traditions old and new, but especially those we’ve forgotten. These are the lost traditions of Christmas.
Telling Ghoulish Tales
Christmas tradition borrows a lot from polytheistic religions, but that is a hot topic to bring up around the Christmas ham. Unless you’re brave, it’s best not to delve into that debate.
What you can do, however, is mention that people used to tell ghostly tales on Christmas Eve. Do this only if you’ve made time to learn one yourself. Believe it or not, there are whole books dedicated to scary Christmas tales.
Gather your friends and family around the yule log, turn off the lights, then scare the jingle bells off them. If there are kids present, end with The Night Before Christmas instead of The Nightmare Before Christmas.
Burning The Ashen F**got
This is not a clever attempt to use pernicious language. That is what they called it, so perhaps this one is best left in history.
It’s not much different than what we do at Christmas anyway, burning logs in the fire, but nobody would call it by that name.
As any schoolboy knows, because we all looked it up after getting called that name, the word in question means a bundle of sticks. Think fire-starter.
The bundles were most often Ash, chosen for the associated mystical powers of the Ash Tree. Before burning it, they would wrap the bundle in nine green lengths of ash from the same tree as the sticks.
They would burn the bundle, drink and sing Christmas songs until the bundle unfolded.
Wassailing For The Harvest
The key parts of wassailing were the exchange of hot ciders and rousing songs. Sometimes the wassail would take place in an orchard, sometimes at the door of someone’s home.
As Christmas traditions go, this one took place on the 12th day of Christmas. In case you don’t know, that’s not December 12th. The 12th day lands around January 5th, twelves days after the 25th of December.
This is another tradition rooted in another religion, in this case quite literally. The spirit of the ceremony was to scare away bad spirits and wake up the apple trees for the new year’s harvest.
These days, we still go caroling, but most people don’t know where that tradition came from either. It came from wassailing.
Performing Mummer’s Plays
This tradition hails from the middle ages, as early as 1216 AD. Mummers, are performers who put on shows wearing elaborate masks and costumes. The costumes were sometime ratty with scraps of fabric.
The shows involve two characters engaged in a battle: King George and the Turkish Knight. One falls but is always revived by a third character, the doctor.
Father Christmas sometimes makes an appearance, as may the fool or Beelzebub. Some productions threw out this format altogether. The key was the scrappy costumes and masks.
They performed shows in the streets, but also in pubs or at someone’s house. By the 1400’s, officials outlawed Mummer’s plays, presumably because of the masks, which create a security concern.
Eating 12 Mincemeat Pies
This one we should bring back. Starting December 25th, folks during the middle ages in Europe ate one mincemeat pie every day for each of the 12 days.
Mincemeat pies, sometimes known as mutton or Christmas pies, were a mixture of meats, spices, and fruit. Think something between a chicken pot pie and apple pie on the flavor spectrum.
They were sweet and meaty pies, loaded with all the wrong calories. Folks in Europe still eat mincemeat pies, but the tradition of one per day is not observed.
I’m leaning towards the ghost stories as something worth bringing back. Perhaps we could all agree to do that, and maybe eat just one mincemeat pie as we tell stories?
Okay, it’s set then. Get ready to put on your scariest Jack mask, from The Nightmare Before Christmas. This is gonna be your new favorite forgotten tradition of Christmas. | <urn:uuid:45a8fa98-6469-4a7c-af93-f7593f10a7a5> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://historythings.com/forgotten-bizarre-traditions-christmas/ | 2021-12-08T07:22:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964363445.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20211208053135-20211208083135-00263.warc.gz | en | 0.95402 | 1,039 |
Many taxpayers are unable to pay the IRS anything at all on their back tax debt. Financially struggling taxpayers may be placed into Currently Not Collectible status. This is also known as "IRS hardship".
You may be
CURRENTLY not COLLECTIBLE
Merely telling IRS you are unable to pay anything right now isn't enough. You must meet IRS definition of "unable to pay."
How can you be placed in Currently not Collectible?
The IRS requires that you disclose all of your income sources to them as well as all of your monthly expenses. IRS telephone representatives are trained to ask a series of pointed questions designed to discover specific amounts of monthly income and expenses.
Once the IRS rep has recorded a taxpayer's Financial Information, some of the taxpayer's expenses are subjected to maximum limits based on national or regional averages which are called "allowable expenses." Some of the taxpayer's expenses may be totally rejected or disallowed since they are not considered "ordinary and necessary living expenses"; and some of the taxpayer's expenses may be completely allowed.
Your idea or definition of "ordinary and necessary living expenses" will probably be radically different than the IRS definition of "allowable expenses."
Allowable Expenses Include but are not Limited to:
1. Monthly rent or mortgage (up to a certain amount)
2. Monthly utilities
3. Food, clothing, sundry items (number of dependents added)
4. Health insurance
5. Court-ordered payments (child support, alimony, etc.)
6. Secured loans.
7. Transportation allowance
These are some of the items that are considered to be "allowable expenses."
If your monthly "Allowable Expenses" are greater than your Monthly Gross Income, then you have Negative Monthly Cash Flow and you will be Currently not Collectible.
If you have a negative monthly cash flow, then IRS will not require you to make any kind of payment on your back tax debt. The IRS will consider you a "hardship" case and place you in Currently not Collectible (CNC) status.
You will still owe the taxes and the penalties and the interest. It's just that IRS can't force you to make any kind of payment(s) to pay off any part of those unpaid taxes as long as you the IRS has you classified as Currently Not Collectible (CNC).
How long can you stay classified as
Currently not Collectible (CNC)?
You can stay classified as CNC indefinitely. IRS will monitor your income based on your W-2s and other income that is reported to them every year. If the IRS computer sees that your income has increased from one year to the next (say about 15% to 20%), then they will want to reevaluate your Financial Information to see if you can make payments.
Usually, the IRS will require a new Financial Statement from you in 18 to 24 months.
There are also a few rules and requirements you must meet in order to stay Currently not Collectible with the IRS. Your failure to meet just one of these requirements will result in the default of your Currently not Collectible (CNC) status and IRS will begin to levy you again:
Your failure to meet any of these requirements will result in the default of your CNC status.
The default of your CNC status will result in your tax case being reassigned to the Collection Division of IRS for action.
Your reassignment to Collection will result in levy action on your wages, bank account, retirement account, Social Security payments, and any other source of cash that IRS can find.
Tax Liens and Currently Not Collectible
If you are in Currently not Collectible, the IRS will, more than likely, file a Tax Lien. This isn't so bad, as the Statute of Limitations will continue to run out. Having a Tax Lien is a small price to pay for the tranquility of not having the IRS coming after you.
OFFER in COMPROMISE
If you have been declared Currently not Collectible, does it not make sense to file for an IRS settlement through the Offer in Compromise program. If the IRS has decided that you do not have the ability to pay, you should "run the remainder of the race" and settle your back tax debt once and for all.

Great Ideas April/May 2007
(reprinted from the Forum for Edcuationa and Democracy Blog)
Some people wake up with great ideas. But I’m a night person. Right before I fall asleep I think I’ve finally found just the right way to say what it is I’m thinking. Often when I wake up I've either forgotten it or it seems banal.
But here are two ideas that keep reoccurring, and it is morning now so I’m going to try to capture them.
Great Idea 1:The whole point of public education (vs job training or even some forms of private education) is to prepare a public for its responsibilities which, in a nutshell come down to exercising careful, thoughtful and reasonable judgment in the face of complex evidence. In the two tasks that confront 18 year olds—voting and serving on juries—these are the presumptions that lie behind the privilege. Our best judgment is what in the end we bring to the table. Note there are neither admissions tests, nor licensure requirements for either voting or serving on a jury. It's the unspoken and awesomely heavy presumption and also the most irrational facing governance by democratic principles and practices. It makes no sense, except (as Churchill said) it's better than any of the alternatives. But for every problem confronting this absurd idea—that everyone has a "right" to such power—there is a solution. Better education.
Not just formal K-12 schooling, surely not just or even college—which comes too late for many voters and jurors and is not open to everyone. But, as the slogans say, our aim is “lifelong” learning, on-going adult education. Newspapers are one of these educating forces, as are all the new technologies. Public access to books, libraries full of resources for getting at "the truth", public spaces for communicating one’s ideas, and for demonstrating on behalf of them, etc, etc. I’m enamored even of the idea of subsidizing adults for going back for a liberal arts education later on, when they are more likely to appreciate its usefulness. But the one and only institution we set aside for this and only this purpose—with no obligation to make a buck in return—is our K-12 system of schooling.
I challenge any of us to spend a day with a kid in an average school and try to connect the dots between what is being learned there—formally ad informally—and what a citizen of a democracy requires (in contrast to citizens perhaps of countries that don't even pretend to be democratic). The world is full of virtues. And economic necessities. But what are the explicitly democratic predispositions, skills, habits of mind and heart that we are not born with, but could learn in a setting devoted to such a purpose?
Great Idea 2:Then, one night it occurred to me, that for all my ranting and raving against the term accountability, in fact the idea of being accountable lies at the heart of democracy. Democracy is a form of accountability—a concept intended to hold the powerful’s feet to the fire. Naturally as our schools have moved further and further away from being attached to their publics, it has become more and more important for us to invent other non-democratic, bureaucratic, “mandarin” forms of accountability. When there were 200,000 school boards serving a population less than half the size of today’s, a lot of people knew who was making judgments about their schools. Today with as few as 10,000 school boards, and with some of them having almost no realistic power over anything but floating bonds, well.... No wonder! There ought to be a half million school boards or more, if—big if—we really believe in democracy as our most special and effective form of accountability.
Given that I'm not a fan of many of the decisions reached by democratic decision making bodies—including many school boards as well as state legislatures and Presidents—this is a leap of faith. I make it because I still agree with Churchill about the alternative to holding on to this often counter-intuitive and even counter-reasonable faith. Neither various forms of benign dictatorship or market-place utopias seem more reasonable. Although if I got to choose the dictator it does some nights appear to be the solution. But by morning I have to face the fact that it’s unlikely to be someone of my choice; and if it were I’d probably be in the opposition the day after—coercion just has its limits when it comes to the important stuff—the stuff inside our hearts and minds.
These two ideas have become more than nighttime fantasies, but daytime ones too. I long for a more robust discussion. We confront the increasing daily power of BOTH my dystopias— increased centralization of public schools in the hands of the few, and increased “selling off” of our schools to private interest groups. And yet we confront a very thin response to both.
What, readers, would we have to do to make these issues part of the conversation about K-12 schooling among our friends, parents of our children’s friends, colleagues, fellow citizens? | <urn:uuid:6eb6beee-e768-4a8b-ae77-18c2ab58ef79> | CC-MAIN-2017-39 | http://monticohort1.blogspot.com/2007/04/deborah-meiers-rant.html | 2017-09-23T18:18:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-39/segments/1505818689775.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20170923175524-20170923195524-00405.warc.gz | en | 0.969371 | 1,080 |

What I’m curious to know is why Capricho Arabe is generally considered quite an advanced work. I agree it is a very difficult piece to interpret well and get the right degree of romanticism without becoming a bit hammy, but in pure technical terms?
I don’t want to sound smug as I’m not a great player by any stretch and struggle with many pieces that are generally considered much easier than this one. But really the only bits I find slightly awkward in CA are the third position barres after the key change and some of the descending scale passages if I try to play them atabe great speed which is an interpretation I don’t really favour.
It could be that I’m getting it all wrong but it doesn’t sound too bad, to my ears at least. I’d be grateful to know where people have problems on this guitzr, so I can go over those bits and check I’m doing it right. I may post a recording if I can get the sound quality a bit better. Fast descending passages whether you like them or not, they make sense That third position barre is hard to keep the bass note ringing full length Opening slurs that come back later are hard to get and keep even in an increasing speed.
Beyond that it’s a hard piece to interpret musically. The dynamic contrasts can be subtle. Deciding what voices need to be brought out.
There’s tons of stuff that requires a somewhat advanced degree of musicality. I agree with you mostly and I heard your recording of it too, which I really liked. About the fast sections: Conversely, I think in most versions I’ve fuitar the section after that, starting on the 4th string E and ending on the 32nd notes, is played too slow. It could be that’s just the way I first heard it played mind guitr. I’m not saying it’s a piece without challenges, and I’ve been working caprricho it for some time and haven’t done a single play yet without a few mistakes.
I just wondered whether people agreed with me that its main difficulties are those of musicality and interpretation rather than technicality per se. I will share my take on it sometime.
Free sheet music : Tárrega, Francisco – Capricho Arabe (Guitar solo (notes and tabs))
At the moment whenever I try and record my playing’s really quiet and my breathing’s really loud, which I’ll try and reverse before posting anything! I think that xrabe it is appropriately graded. There are pieces and parts of it that are very easy to play but when you are doing barres and slurs with the pinky and the stretches therein it gets really tough from a technical perspective to play cleanly.
I have been seriously studying the CG for 3. Caprlcho people start with this piece yikes or start it after playing for a year or less because they believe it isn’t all that hard but have you ever heard the results of this? Check out utube if you want to see what I am talking about.
Capricho Arabe Difficulty? – Classical Guitar
Or even check out our own forum member’s postings. Of course to their ear it probably sounds “good” My guess is that you do not have a teacher to help you discern what sounds good and what doesn’t sound good. This gets all sorts of new players into bad habits early as from a conceptual aspect CG music is all really pretty easy. The ascending chromatic scale introducing the D-major section also adabe accelerando and has to be played rather rapidly toward the end.
Capricho árabe (Tárrega, Francisco)
The ornamentation in the D-major section can be a little tricky with the 4th finger slurring from a fixed hand position. If the rapid sections are played moderately giutar accelerando it makes the piece sound belabored.
But then again, too much can ruin it by trying to turn it into a virtuosity showpiece. My guess is that you do not have a teacher to help you discern what sounds good and what doesn’t sound good. Apparently he finds Arabe “ridiculously easy” — even though he doesn’t understand caprich concept of alternating RH fingers, tone production or playing with nails!
But what the heck, I’m a glutton for punishment! I’ll have a go at posting it, and hopefully get some of the arane and critical feedback a teacher would provide. Thanks for the advice. I got my chops busted on another thread when I advised a beginner to read a method book and try some xapricho pieces before he tackled this one. They’re not two separate things. You can’t nail that accelerando zrabe good scale technique.
And you can’t make the melody sing without being able to play legato and with good tone. In fact, to my way of thinking, musicality is the goal of good technique. But I practice that kind of thing because maintaining and improving my technique gives me better control over the music.
I would definitely not call CA ‘ridiculously easy’ – although coming from an electric background originally I can see why some people with no idea of classical technique and big egos would possibly say that.
That’s not what I was trying to get across, so sorry if it seemed that way! But I think you can distinguish between them sometimes as well – I mean, the rubato and timing CA requires isn’t really a question of technique as such. The contrast between the beauty of the melodic passages and the drama of the single-note passages is the soul of this piece.

In an attempt to cement power, Volodymyr Zelensky has called for snap elections, sparking a severe backlash from the opposition.
KYIV, Ukraine — During his inauguration on Monday, Ukrainian President Volodymir Zelensky started a political tornado that may eclipse his own skyrocketing rise to power – or let a legion of opponents nip his promises and plans in the bud.
Addressing the Verkhovna Rada, Ukraine’s lower house of parliament dominated by the loyalist of his presidential predecessor and arch-enemy Petro Poroshenko, the small-framed 41-year-old comedian sounded aggressive.
“My election proves that our citizens are tired of the experienced, pompous, professional politicians who over the 28 years [of Ukraine’s independence] have created a country of opportunities — opportunities to bribe, steal and pluck the resources,” Zelensky, who won the April 21 election with 73 percent of the vote, told lawmakers.
Zelensky urged them to help him negotiate a ceasefire and a prisoner swap with pro-Russian separatists in two southeastern provinces, to dismiss key security officials appointed by Poroshenko, to vote in a law to remove lawmakers’ immunity from prosecution and to adopt tougher anti-corruption laws.
And then he dissolved the parliament.
The move was widely expected on Zelensky’s part, but its legality reflects Ukraine’s perennial problems with the interpretation of its complex and often contradictory laws.
“It’s dubious, but most constitutional experts believe that it’s not legal,” Oleksiy Haran, a politics professor at the Kyiv Mohila Academy, told TRT World.
If a ruling coalition consists of fewer than a half of Rada’s lawmakers – and that is the case since February – the incumbent can dissolve it, Zelensky’s team claims.
But a group of pro-Poroshenko lawmakers left the coalition last week in a move that technically requires the establishment of a new coalition – and prevents Zelensky from disbarring the parliament.
"There are no legal grounds for this," Volodymir Aryev, a lawmaker with Petro Poroshenko's bloc, told journalists. "This violation of the constitution as [the president's] first move creates huge chaos and a crisis."
Several lawmakers threatened to overturn the dissolution in courts, but some political forces formerly opposed to Zelensky are now ready for the snap vote.
“I believe that the current parliament earned a snap election,” Yulia Tymoshenko, former prime minister and head of the Homeland political party, said in televised remarks. “We, Homeland, are ready. I believe that the changes everyone is waiting for have begun.”
For most of 2018, Tymoshenko, whose trademark peasant braids made her a symbol of the 2004 pro-Western, anti-Russian protests dubbed the Orange Revolution, was seen as the top presidential hopeful in most of the polls.
But after Zelensky announced his candidacy in January and Poroshenko started a belligerently nationalist election campaign, she came third in the first round of the presidential vote in March.
Another presidential hopeful – who got less than five percent of the vote – accepted Zelensky’s decision as a step to appease the public.
“There are no constitutional grounds to dissolve the Rada, this is a purely political decision, but we support the snap election because the public expects it," leader of the nationalist Radical Party Oleh Lyashko told journalists.
Zelensky did not announce the date of the snap election, but it may take place within two months instead of the original vote originally, which was scheduled for October 27.
Ukraine is a parliamentary republic, and to wield real power, Zelensky needs a majority for his Servant of the People party, which was named after the television series that paved the way for his presidency.
In the series, he played a schoolteacher who unexpectedly becomes president after his obscene tirade about Ukraine’s political establishment makes him a YouTube star.
The nascent party leads in the polls, but experts say that Zelensky is the only driving force behind the virtual project whose members and programme remain unknown.
“Zelensky is trying to convert his political success into the success of this party,” analyst Haran said.
The snap election is one of many more political conundrums Zelensky is facing.
The largest one is Russia’s 2014 annexation of Crimea and its support to separatists in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions. The Moscow-backed armed rebellion against the central government became Europe’s hottest armed conflict, claiming more than 13,000 lives and displacing millions.
Yet, apart from populist statements, Zelensky hasn’t come up with a concrete plan for the peace settlement. After all, he is not the one to call the shots, experts say.
"The solution largely depends on [Russian President Vladimir] Putin,” political analyst Volodymir Fesenko told TRT World. “Will Putin agree to a compromise, to a ceasefire – we don't know.”
The Kremlin has not congratulated Zelensky with his election and says Putin still has no plans to meet him. “No contacts are on the agenda for now," Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov told journalists Monday.
However, Putin’s critics are enthusiastic about Zelensky’s success.
The very fact Zelensky won the election "is very important for the future of Russia that still lives in the 20th century vegetating on the outskirts of global progress", Russian opposition leader Gennady Gudkov told TRT World.
Since the 2014 Euromaidan protests that ousted pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych, Ukraine’s authorities have been pushing the West to impose sanctions on Russia, and Zelensky continues the nudge.
“I’d like to ask you to make sure the US continues to strengthen sanctions against Russia,” he told a US delegation at the inauguration.
Zelensky pledged to continue his predecessor’s efforts to make Ukraine part of the European Union and NATO. Vadim Pristayko, Ukraine’s current ambassador to NATO, may become Zelensky’s new foreign minister, according to media reports.
But both blocs are far from ready to embrace the nation of 44 million with a separatist problem, a struggling economy, endemic corruption and fertile black-earth soils whose produce may reshape Europe’s food market.
“We have chosen a path to Europe, but Europe is not somewhere out there, Europe is here,” Zelensky said during the inauguration pointing at his head and referring to a common need to develop a ‘European’ mentality. “This is our common dream.” | <urn:uuid:0ec7bec9-9ed8-47d2-8543-b79bb7af17cd> | CC-MAIN-2020-50 | https://www.trtworld.com/magazine/ukraine-s-comedian-turned-president-strikes-an-aggressive-tone-26870 | 2020-11-24T01:05:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-50/segments/1606141169606.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20201124000351-20201124030351-00204.warc.gz | en | 0.962893 | 1,434 |

Keeping track of all your online accounts can be hard, especially when you have to manually check dashboards on each service to see how many followers you have or if people are flocking to track your Instagram account.
There’s no shortage of app-based tracking tools, which consolidate a number of your online profiles to give you information on your follow counts and analytics at-a-glance, but a new app — Static for iPhone — wants to help put you manage and oversee your social accounts, and will let you decide which apps should be added in the near future.
Static was created Freshbytes designer and developer Jayson Lane as a replacement for Ego for iPhone, which slowly withered under the pressure of withheld APIs and lack of support from the services it monitored. As Ego dropped off the App Store, apps like StatNut (an app that tracks Dribbble, Twitter, Foursquare, Vimeo, YouTube, Tumblr and Instagram accounts) and Static have begun to take its place.
Currently, Static supports Twitter, Instagram, Google Analytics, Dribbble and Github, operating as a more social and developer-centric tracking app. However, Lane isn’t content to limit the app to just five services – instead he has leaned on Uservoice integration within the app to allow users to request the services that they would like to see added.
“There are a few services on the radar, including Tumblr, YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo, and App.net,” says Lane. “That being said I’m completely open to whatever services people would like to see most. In the About section, we’re using Uservoice which will actually allow users to input which services or features they’re interested in and then other users can vote for them. This will help us to determine the services that will be added next.”
Static employs a slick but minimal design, ordering the services you add in a vertical list. When more are added, they can be moved up and down to suit your tastes, waiting for you to tap on the horizontal bar to check how many messages or images you have sent or uploaded, how many people visited your website or the number of likes your artwork received.
To refresh statistics, Lane has included the same pull-to-refresh animation that is employed in Apple’s iOS 6 Mail.app. Pressing the brand icons will provide and option to delete a service or take you to the dashboard of that particular platform.
The interesting thing to note here is that Static has been developed to recognise certain application hooks and will take you to your Twitter profile inside Tweetbot, if it detects that you have it installed. Hit the Instagram link and it will instantly load your profile within the Instagram app.
Static is one of those apps that is in it for the long haul. While it may not support the service you really want to see added at launch, the platform is there to request it. This ensures that if you buy the app, you are going to get value for money further down the line.
Static for iPhone is $0.99 (69p) and is available to download right now.

Amazon Cafè Offers A Healthy Alternative
By Kate Quellette
Atlantic News, Thursday, July 1, 2004
HAMPTON BEACH — A healthy alternative to high-calorie and high-fat vacation foods has opened at Hampton Beach.
Amazon Café, located in the Oceanside Mall at 367 Ocean Boulevard, has a variety of nutritious meals fit for any taste, large or small. The café offers an array of smoothie choices, wraps, salads, fresh juices, soups and also breakfast sandwiches starting at 8 a.m. every day of the week.
Barbara Cocci recently opened the business, which is part of a franchise based out of Philadelphia. Cocci wanted to open the café because of her interest in the nutritional products that are being advertised and sold today. Amazon's main focus, Cocci says, are smoothies enriched with nutritional "power boosts."
"There are all different types of boosts," says Cocci. "It's based on all different types of needs."
The boosts are added to a smoothie and are chosen by customers based on what their needs are for that day. The choices include protein, immune, energy, and fat burner boosts, as well as several others.
"If you were to have a smoothie with a boost everyday, it would have the same effect on you as a daily vitamin would," Cocci says.
The smoothies are created with several types of fruits and either a sorbet or yogurt base, depending on the type of smoothie. Cocci says the option of sorbet is great for people who like the idea of a smoothie but cannot have dairy products; on the other hand, the yogurt-based smoothies are a good source of calcium.
Cocci says she is working with nutritionists to better understand and be able to cater to an individual's nutritional needs when they come into the café.
A goal for the café, says Cocci, is to keep people aware that there are other, more healthy options for meals while vacationing.
"Consider it as an alternative to fast food — like fried clams — on the beach," says Cocci. "We have a nice selection of sandwiches, wraps, and of course smoothies. We appeal to all ages and a variety of people."
Amazon Café is located at 367 Ocean Boulevard, Hampton Beach, and can be reached at 929-0880. | <urn:uuid:4abb4742-2077-452d-9795-4efa1f1d5835> | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | http://www.hampton.lib.nh.us/hampton/history/business/2000s/amazoncafeAN.htm | 2015-07-03T07:57:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-27/segments/1435375095806.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20150627031815-00210-ip-10-179-60-89.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.975445 | 493 |
Earlier this week, I received the exciting news that I was accepted into the BibRave Pro Ambassador program. This might bring up some questions:
What the heck is that?
Wait, what are these ambassadors for and aren’t you already one?
Why do I care?
Well let me fill you in!
What is a BibRave Pro?
First of all, BibRave is a running community that connects runners to races! It’s a social media site where runners can provide honest reviews of races and where potential racers can research races that they are considering. BibRave provides information by individual races, but they also have lists like the BibRave 100, where you can see breakdowns of the top 20 of various types of races, races ranked by scenery, etc.
As a BibRave Pro, I will be representing BibRave at partner races (and on my own training runs and other races that I participate in). I actually learned about BibRave through Pro Mai, who was hanging out by the Honey Stinger booth when I was saying ‘hi’ to the team there at Rock N Roll Las Vegas. I had never heard about the program and was intrigued by a race review system as I work towards running a race in every state.
BibRave Pros are a collection of running bloggers and influencers who share their race experiences, and also valuable discount codes for both races and running gear and accessories. I will always disclose when I have received merchandise or race entries as part of these relationships and you can always expect my honest opinions and experiences.
What does this mean for you?
Great news for you: I’m adding a discount codes page to my blog! From here you can look up races to see if they are BibRave partners, and then take advantage of savings through their shared promo codes. I will also be sharing select merchandise and gear discounts as they partner with BibRave, so that you can also check out these items with additional discounts. There have been many a race or product that I’ve frantically google’d for discounts and non-expired promo codes, and these links can hopefully provide a one-stop shop for many popular races.
Aren’t you already an ambassador for other brands?
Yes! You can be an ambassador for multiple companies and I’ve been fortunate to be selected as an ambassador for a couple of my favorite training products. I only apply for ambassador status for goods and services that I use and would vouch for. This then means that I may be given products to try out for free or at a discount, that I’ll post about my experiences in using these products and servics, and that I from time-to-time have discounts and freebies for my followers as well!
My other two ambassadorships are for:
Honey Stinger provides snack and performance fueling products made from natural ingredients. I rely on their waffles and gummies for many of my long races and training runs, but they also make gels and, of course, honey! I love the variety of options in their products, and that they don’t sit heavy while I’m participating in long runs or workouts. I got pretty burned out from other brands of gels when I first started running, but Honey Stinger has been a constant since I discovered them. And they don’t just provide training fuel! They have products for everyday snacking as well.
I recently learned about Bobo’s after a trip to my local Whole Foods. I was looking for quick breakfast and snack items, that were a little healthier and easier to pack for my busy days in the office, teaching, getting in a training run, and overall home life. Enter Bobo’s. They are gluten free, vegan, and non-GMO, and met all of my above requirements. I love their different flavors of oat bars that are both super filling, and provide an additional source of fuel as I’ve been training for my upcoming ultra marathon. I love that I can have an oat bar or toast’r pastry for breakfast, or a peanut butter stuffed bar while I’m hiking up a giant trail or in between afternoon meetings.
You can get $5 off your first online purchase over $30 and 750 points towards their rewards program using this link.
And finally, I’m also a member of the Oiselle Volee. This is not quite an ambassadorship but more a team of women that run under the Oiselle name as part of a global community supporting women in running, leadership, and sisterhood. They sponsor some amazing elite runners, but also connect everyday middle-of-the-pack runners like myself through local meetups, races, and larger national activities.
I will continue to work hard to provide quality content and plan on providing even more interaction through my blog, as well as my continued engagement through Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. I’m keeping my Ambassador list to a smaller level so that I can focus on the products that I stand behind. I am also happy to share when any of my partner companies provide discount codes or sneak peeks into sales and special promotions available by their Ambassadors to share. | <urn:uuid:b9978970-3542-46ee-8788-af9fb8eaa712> | CC-MAIN-2020-16 | http://www.fitnewtonblog.com/ambassadorships-and-becoming-a-bibrave-pro/ | 2020-03-29T03:43:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-16/segments/1585370493684.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20200329015008-20200329045008-00336.warc.gz | en | 0.966913 | 1,094 |

To introduce students to a subject of convincing practical relevance that relies heavily on results and techniques from Pure Mathematics.
Coding theory plays a crucial role in the transmission of information. Due to the effect of noise and interference, the received message may differ somewhat from the original message which is transmitted. The main goal of Coding Theory is the study of techniques which permit the detection of errors and which, if necessary, provide methods to reconstruct the original message. The subject involves some elegant algebra and has become an important tool in banking and commerce.

Half way - a review of post Fukushima actions in the Americas24 July 2013
After worldwide calls to action came in the wake of the tsunami that devastated Fukushima Daiichi in March 2011, nuclear power plants have been shoring up their defences for more than a year already. Much has already been accomplished; many projects are only months away from realization. By Will Dalrymple
Much of the USA's industry response has centred around flooding and seismic risk inspections ('walkdowns'), developing new connections to add emergency sources of cooling water, and buying mobile equipment (pumps, generators) to use in an emergency. This is the industry's so-called diverse and flexible coping strategies (FLEX) approach. In addition to holding this equipment in onsite stores, two offsite emergency equipment stores ('regional response centres') have been organized: near Memphis, Tennessee and Phoenix, Arizona, run by Pooled Equipment Inventory Co, and expected to be operational by August 2014.
In an April meeting with the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USNRC), Dominion Energy's president and chief nuclear officer David Heacock said that post-Fukushima changes will cost between $30-40 million per unit for the six-unit, three-station Dominion fleet (see Table 1). Heacock participated in the meeting as part of a four-member external panel. The briefing was organized to discuss the status of actions taken in response to lessons learned from Fukushima.
|Projected total cost||30-40||180-240|
|- Of that 65%: FLEX/spent fuel pool instrumentation||19.5-26||117-156|
|- The remaining 35%: hazard reevaluations||10.5-14||63-84|

|8 electrical connections||5.6||16.8|

According to the NRC, US utilities filed integrated plans for developing mitigating strategies and installing spent fuel pool instruments in February; in November, NRC will issue safety evaluations. Implementation is due to be completed by the end of 2016. Operators' plant seismic and flooding walkdowns were completed in November 2012. At the April meeting, the NRC's Mike Johnson said that most utilities encountered problems on the walkdowns with issues such as barriers, missing seals, missing anchorages, or planned protective actions being overly ambitious. Some flood reevaluations were submitted in March 2013; other sites requested extensions.
As regards seismic reevaluations, industry proposed in April to use an updated seismic model that was initially rejected because it will not be complete until 2015. Industry's new proposal will use an interim evaluation based on the effects of the new data on a subset of emergency equipment such as the Reactor Core Isolation Cooling (RCIC) equipment in BWRs and the auxiliary feedwater system in PWRs, Johnson said in the meeting. The comment period for a new draft rule about station blackout mitigation strategies that includes spent fuel pool makeup capability recently ended (28 May). A final rule about onsite emergency response capabilities was predicted to be issued by the end of May. The NRC also predicts that guidance about the dose-assessment capabilities of multi-unit sites will be in place by the end of 2014.
Several issues remain unresolved, to a greater or lesser extent. Last year, the regulator voiced its preference for US BWRs similar to Fukushima to install hardened containment vents to reduce the buildup of gases. The industry opposed this measure and argued for a less prescriptive approach; in March it got its way, and the regulator promised to be more flexible in a planned rulemaking to come out in September.
The boundary between design basis and beyond-design-basis is also up for discussion. During the meeting, NRC chairwoman Allison MacFarlane, who has a PhD in geology, said: "There is a lot of discussion about extreme events. Let me help here. These are not extreme events. These are normal events. The failure is us, and our lack of understanding, and our inability to properly characterize the potential suite of events that can occur. That's because in part the science has not gotten there yet; but now we have moved the science along a bit, now we understand. This tells me that this requires everyone to revisit what design basis event is, what it includes. I would argue we don't need to be looking at beyond design basis, but readjust our definition, which brings us back to Recommendation 1 in part."
Recommendation 1 was perhaps the most ambitious of all of the USNRC's near-term post-Fukushima task force recommendations from July 2011: it essentially advised reform of the NRC's complex patchwork of historical regulations into a cohesive whole. The text ran: "The Task Force recommends establishing a logical, systematic, and coherent regulatory framework for adequate protection that appropriately balances defence-in-depth and risk considerations." That included drafting and beginning rulemaking of a "risk-informed defence-in-depth framework that includes extended design-basis requirements in the NRC's regulations as essential elements for ensuring adequate protection." At the time, it was controversial among both the industry and commissioners, and was not prioritized for early resolution. However, work has apparently carried on behind the scenes, and according to the NRC staff presentation at the April meeting, industry input was expected that month, and a paper is due out in December.
Canada's post-Fukushima directions published in March 2012 were, like many other countries, split into short-, medium- and long-term. Short-term actions that include topics such as installing passive autocatalytic (hydrogen) recombiners, verifying the bleed condenser relief valves, investigating extending I&C power following a station blackout and assessing emergency plans and equipment were submitted at the end of 2012. According to a Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) spokeswoman, they were all found to be acceptable. More substantial work is currently under way and due to be finished by the end of the year: reviewing capabilities of the shield tank (a unique PHWR station feature), evaluation of potential of hydrogen generation or structural deformation in spent fuel pools, probabilistic safety assessment (PSA) for selected external events, modelling multi-unit scenarios in severe accidents and beyond-design-basis events. Also due by the end of the year is an expected change in the law to require nuclear licence renewals or applications to include provincial/municipal offsite emergency plans with evidence of meeting those requirements. Other long-term work, to consider implementing a periodic safety review (PSR) process, to develop emergency management regulations, and to consider preventing or mitigating unfiltered releases of containment gases in a beyond-design-basis accident, is due either at the end of 2014 or 2015.
During 2012, Ontario Power Generation (OPG), which operates the Darlington 1-4 and Pickering 1&2 PHWRs, said that its post-Fukushima work involved the deployment of 12 portable diesel-powered pumps as well as the procurement of seven diesel generators with on-board fuel. It also installed new passive autocatalytic recombiners to mitigate hydrogen build-up at all stations. Canadian reactor vendor Candu Energy Inc. also signed an agreement for Enertech (part of Curtiss-Wright Flow Control) to market its passive autocatalytic recombiner (PAR) technology to reduce explosive hydrogen buildup to the nuclear industry in the United States and some international markets.
Post-Fukushima actions in Argentina, Brazil and Mexico were reviewed by the Latin American Forum of Radiological and Nuclear Regulators, to which the regulators of Mexico, Brazil and Argentina belong (as well as those of Spain, and Chile, Cuba, Peru and Uruguay). That association, formed in 1997, proposed in 2011 to carry out a Stress Evaluation among member countries along similar lines to that carried out in Europe: the scope and technical criteria were agreed by members, and results were shared between them. In June 2012, a group of experts nominated by member countries contributed to a review of countries' measures. That review, 'Stress evaluation of nuclear stations of FORO country members' was presented to the IAEA Nuclear Safety Convention conference in August 2012. It recommended further review meetings of short- and medium-term actions in 2014, and another in 2016 for longer-term actions.
Over the next few years, at Argentina's Atucha I and II (under construction) and Embalse, utility Nucleoeléctrica Argentina plans to install passive auto-catalytic recombiners and mobile diesel generators. At Embalse it will install new cooling water lines to reactors and spent fuel pools pumpable via a fire truck engine, and add filtered containment venting (FCV). A new emergency control centre will be built for the Atucha site by 2015; Embalse's existing emergency internal control centre will be modified to improve seismic resistance and improve air filtration capacity.
In Brazil, mobile equipment for water and air supply was scheduled to be brought to the Angra site at the end of March. By the end of the year, it will finish studies on earthquake design margins. By the end of 2014, all containment atmosphere control measures will be completed, as well as new SAMGs (severe accident management guidelines) for Angra 2. Mobile diesel generators for safety systems, batteries, water pumps to feed steam generators (SGs) and pools, and air compressors to actuate main steam and feedwater valves, are all currently under study. The Angra site offers 30 hours of steam-generator-based cooling before needing to refill the 6000t tank; that tank can be fed by firefighting pumps (although at a height of 110m). Stress evaluation results also showed the Angra 1 spent fuel pool has a minimum time-to-boil of nine hours (during refuelling; double that during operation) and Angra 2's five hours (during refuelling; five times that during power operation).
The Laguna Verde nuclear power plant, the only such plant in Mexico, has two boiling water reactors with fifth-generation Mark II-type containment. Both reactors were supplied by General Electric. Unit 1 started commercial operation in 1990; unit 2, five years later. Both units have a design life of 40 years. The Federal Electricity Commission (CFE), which owns the station, is in the process of obtaining a licence for its recent 120% extended power uprate. Early in its history, Mexico's regulatory body decided to apply the rules of the country of origin of the selected nuclear reactor; therefore the current regulatory framework is based on the USNRC requirements for nuclear power plants in commercial operation in the United States (and its three 2012 orders on beyond-design-basis event mitigation, hardened vents, and spent fuel pool instrumentation). In addition to the NRC regulatory framework, the Mexican Regulatory Agency has asked CFE for compliance with requirements and standards of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), to perform FORO?stress test, and to use external operating experience issued by the World Association of Nuclear Operators (WANO), in particular its three 2011 SOERs, or significant operating experience reports, on fuel damage, spent fuel pool loss of cooling, and extended loss of AC power. As a result of the evaluations mentioned above, CFE has developed a work programme that includes installing a separate vent of the primary containment, level instrumentation in the spent fuel pool, and implement a severe accident management programme according to the guidelines of BWR Owners' Group. Its deadline for these actions is 2017. | <urn:uuid:5873b139-5425-4a53-87c1-9406f6f03f82> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.neimagazine.com/features/featurehalf-way---a-review-of-post-fukushima-actions-in-the-americas | 2021-10-25T13:55:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323587711.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20211025123123-20211025153123-00002.warc.gz | en | 0.950156 | 2,460 |
GRAND BLANC, MI -- Grand Blanc Police have arrested two men following several vehicle break-ins in the Kirkridge subdivision area, according to a news release.
Grand Blanc Police officers Nate Guigear and Ryan Streichert arrested a 19-year-old man and 20-year-old man for allegedly breaking into vehicles, according to the news release from the Grand Blanc Police Department.

The largest book
The largest book in our collections is John James Audubon's life's work, The Birds of America. With its 435 hand-coloured bird drawings, it is an impressive work.
John James Audubon (1785-1851) was the son of a French captain and plantation owner, Jean Audubon, and he had a strong interest in nature from an early age. An interest that ended up following him all his life. He started drawing early, and especially birds caught his eye.
In 1806, he was sent to his father's estate, Mill Grove, near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Officially to learn English, unofficially to avoid French conscription. Here Audubon continued his life as a free man, and he continued to take an interest in - and draw - nature.
It was birds in particular that Audubon drew, and since it was difficult to draw them in a lifelike way, he experimented with different methods of setting them up. The traditional method was to stuff the bird and then draw it, but it often looked lifeless and that was not what Audubon wanted.
He figured it was better to draw the newly shot bird. Shooting the bird was a necessity, as cameras were not available. After various attempts, Audubon learned that the solution was to stuff the shot bird with metal wire. It allowed him to mount the bird in exactly the position he wanted and the results were good. So good that they have been described as the best that had been achieved so far.
In the early 1820s, he decided to publish his bird drawings, and after trying in vain to get his work published in the United States, he tried in Britain. He initially found an engraver, Lizars, in Edinburgh. He printed the first 10 posters but had several issues, especially with his colourers, after which the work was moved to London. Here, the remaining 425 posters were printed and coloured at Robert Havell & Son. The publication lasted from 1827-1838. | <urn:uuid:a2ce161c-1a19-48d1-975e-bcd596dfbe63> | CC-MAIN-2021-17 | https://www.kb.dk/en/inspiration/book-festival-det-kgl-bibliotek/largest-book | 2021-04-23T13:44:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-17/segments/1618039594808.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20210423131042-20210423161042-00609.warc.gz | en | 0.993161 | 422 |
