Since 1851, Alma Methodists have been meeting for worship. fellowship, and mission. Their earliest meetings were held in homes and then in a school building that was erected in 1860. The first church building was a frame structure built in 1873 on the southeast corner of Superior and Prospect. A second, much larger, building was built in 1895 just to the south of this building. This facility served the growing congregation until it was destroyed by fire in 1935. In 1937 the present sanctuary and social hall was completed. In 1953 the education building was added. Since that time, our congregation has seen much change. Today, with a substantial portion of our facility renovated to meet the challenges of twenty-first century ministry, we continue to seek God's will for United Methodists in Alma. | <urn:uuid:6724eb6c-e697-4bce-9590-f0cf1463e243> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | http://almaumc.com/our-history | 2021-09-26T16:48:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780057882.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20210926144658-20210926174658-00242.warc.gz | en | 0.989783 | 157 |

This easy quick-bread is nutrient-packed and full of flavor. It also happens to be grain-free, dairy-free, and sugar-free. I can’t tell you how much I love it when I come up with a recipe that’s super healthy and super tasty at the same time. It’s gratifying, to say the least.
Once this bread has cooled, it slices up beautifully. (I even snuck a sample slice when it was warm and it didn’t crumble. But for the best results, you’ll want to cool it before cutting into it.) I kept my loaf in the refrigerator for 3 days and it tasted great as it aged. Spread slices of the bread with almond butter, jam, or a little raw honey. A slice would pair tastefully with a cup of this Fennel, Mint, & Ginger Tea, too.
Sweetened with nothing but fruit and stevia, I find this bread to strike just the right balance between fruity and nutty. It’s not overwhelmingly sweet, but still reminds me of a hearty loaf of banana bread. Soaked prunes add moisture and sweetness while also helping to bind the bread, creating that perfect slice. Colorful flecks of grated carrots running through the loaf offer beta-carotene, texture, and subtle sweetness as well.
I used a non-standard, 7.5 x 3.5-inch loaf pan for the bread you see pictured here. A standard 9 x 5-inch pan will probably work just fine, but you may find the loaf to be rather squatty as it will not rise as much in a larger pan. I find the smaller pan to be a great gluten-free bread pan, as it yields a more compact loaf that seems to rise well. Of course, you could certainly portion the batter into lined muffin cups and turn this bread into Nutty Carrot Breakfast Muffins just as easily.

Nutty Carrot Breakfast Bread
Makes 1 loaf
1/3 cup (packed) pitted dried prunes
2 medium bananas
4 large eggs
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
20-25 drops liquid stevia
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 cup coconut flour, sifted
1/4 cup arrowroot starch
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup grated carrots
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 7.5 x 3.5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, allowing the paper to overhang the long sides of the pan by several inches.
Place the prunes in a small bowl and cover with hot water. Soak for 10-15 minutes. Drain well and add to a blender along with the bananas, eggs, olive oil, cinnamon, stevia, and salt. Blend until smooth. Pour the mixture into a large mixing bowl and stir in the coconut flour, arrowroot starch, baking powder, and baking soda until thoroughly combined. Fold in the carrots and walnuts.
Transfer the batter to the lined loaf pan, spreading it out to fill the pan evenly. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a knife inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Cool completely in the pan before slicing.

(10" Only) RED/ Numbered/Ltd. to 1000
18th October 1993
Produced by Phil Vinall, this was a mainly gig released 10"
(Support tour with the Tindersticks, cut short when the back were kicked
off the tour for 'being too cheerful!'), the money for which was obtained
from a BBC payment (apparently, a tune by the band had been
used in a TV programme accidentally, and the BBC paid for the single in exchange).
Brilliant 10", fabulous tunes, recording's a bit thin, but it still shines through...
14th February 1994 (REDCD0002)
2.Junk Male (Evening Session Version)
3 seperate recording sessions (With 'Junk Male' coming from the Evening Session session recorded 30/10/93), great single, not as much punch as Headstrong perhaps, but still well worth picking up..
(CDS/12" Promo), FROMAGE ROUGE
28th November 1994 (Redcd0003)
2.Beneath My Skin
My fave EP post Headstrong, the first track is a punchy blast of summery indie guitars, balanced off by the cello led "Beneath My Skin" with it's heartache and slow build...
(CDS/?) FROMAGE ROUGE
6th March 1995 (Fromcd004)
3.Decision (acoustic demo)
Presumably the last single, although the Radio 1 transmitted live gig broadcast soon after had a couple of new tracks in it....again summerly guitar blasts, though this time (the 1st), the B-sides weren't up to much....
(FROMAGE ROUGE, From005)
2.Beneath My Skin
A compilation of tracks meant as a run up to the full album, all tracks are taken from the singles. A nice introduction!
According to the back of Positive, there was an LP being
recorded in the summer of 1995..
According to Philip Thomas this was never recorded.
RADIO ONE LIVE GIG
(Not an official release!)
4.Beneath My Skin
I taped this in FM Stereo at the time.
'Seed' was announced as a new song and certainly I've no copy of it on anything else.
BUT, it's the only live recording I know of, apart from the one track found in.....

2.LUXX - This Feeling
3.FIN - Shot By Both Sides
4. PERFUME - Joga (New Version)
5.POWDER - Shave Me
6.STILLER - Where Did You Get
Heard about this long after everything else!
'Shot by both sides' is a cover of the Magazine song.
Identical to the CD single in terms of tracks.
A nice addition to the discography, though.
Phil mailed me (August 2003) to fill in some gaps!
"Fin did have a cover version of Magazine's 'Shot By Both Sides' included on a 6 track compilation CD called Monarchy In The UK in 1994. IT was put out to coincide with a week of gigs at The Monarch, Camden (now Barfly) and the six bands on the CD were all playing that week, along with Skunk Anansie and Catatonia if I remember right........."
NOTE: I've got the mail address now if anyone wants one.
The Cd also contains a track by Perfume.
Demo wise, there were a couple pre Headstrong ep. They were produced by ex Members drummer Adrian Lillywhite, brother of Steve who was a that time managing the band, and included tracks such as Give Me The Gun, Wonderful World & Sweet Obsession but can't remember the other tracks and my copies have long since worn out and been lost.
There are various live recordings and videos knocking about but were never made available to 'outsiders'. The best of which is a live video shot at The Astoria in London supporting The Cranberries from around early 1995 I think.
There are however videos for Headstrong, Narcissus which at the time of release were heavily shown on both terrestial and cable tv stations. These were with Alan McAteer on bass who was replaced by Stella in 1995.
The album that your webpage referred to however was never recorded."
So now we know! Thanks again to Phil.
But that's all there is as far as I know, I'm afraid......more help would be much appreciated...

Tracing back to the first century, the ampersand began as a combination of the letters 'e' and 't' to spell "et" (meaning "and" in Latin). Although its form evolved over the centuries, you can still see the "et" in many modern forms. Nowadays, it's a part of every designer's toolbox as one of the most distinct elements in typography.
Ambition and comfort rarely run together.
I began freelancing more than five years ago, while living in Atlanta, Georgia. Cost of living was low, I had no children, my newlywed wife was working, and business was easy to come by. I soon moved to the Midwest, and enjoyed a comfortable life, working my own hours at my own rate. The work was a bit boring, but I was very fortunate to be where I was and I can't ever complain about having a job and a roof over my head. But I also knew that I was getting less ambitious and more uninspired as each year ticked by.
I like January. When a new year comes around, it helps me focus on the future and brings fresh energy into the workplace. Granted, feelings pass quickly and without careful resolutions and follow-through, it's easy to squander the new year's energy. So after some thought, I've made a few resolutions. I don't expect everyone to agree with them, but perhaps you'll find a useful point or two amongst them and then share some of your own goals.
As both a freelancer and former firm employee, winters always seem the slowest. Couple that fact with the economic slowdown and you can easily find yourself having more free time than you're used to. So what is there to do after you've already scoured the ususal job boards and are waiting for responses from proposals? Consider these ten ways to spend your extra down time.
If you work in the design or technology industry, it doesn't take long for your skillset to become outdated or your design aesthetic to become stale. Every potential client job I've ever had inevitably asks either, "How well do you know ___________?" or, "Can I see a recent design example of ____________?" If you don't have solid answers to those questions, chances are you're not landing the job. In the same vein, basing your reputation on a website that hasn't been updated in months can be just as bad. Simply put, falling behind is devastating in the freelancing industry and here's why:
Designing and programming in Flash was part of my skillset for a decade, having cut my teeth with Flash in 1999. Over the years, I've seen and done many projects, some of which utilized Flash in very useful ways, while others had no business using it. Sometimes, a Flash implementation detracted from the site's purpose and had poor results (all the while costing them more to build the site in the frst place). Nowadays, companies have begun moving away from Flash but as reminder to website builders everywhere, here is a brief list of places that Flash does not belong (with very few exceptions):
Billing by the hour is the most common way to make money in the freelance world, and it can be both safe and profitable. But it does have a few drawbacks. First, potential clients tend to balk at higher hourly rates, mainly because they're comparing you to other freelancers based solely on your rate (and not the talent or work that comes with that rate). Secondly, hourly rates offer little reward for the freelancer to be either fast or efficient. And as for the client, besides worrying about a freelancer who's freeloading, he will have a hard time pegging an actual cost and budget to the project. So for those reasons (and perhaps others), there are times when project pricing becomes a great way to make both parties happy: the client gets a fixed cost and the freelancer can earn more than he could hourly (without being compared to low-cost outsourcers).
Every year, there seems to be more conferences catering to internet designers, developers, marketers, and bloggers. Some have been around for quite a while, like SXSW and the "Future of" conferences. So the topic for discussion is:
What do you think of these conferences? Are they worth the time and cost (especially if you're paying for it yourself)? Have you ever attended one and what did you find valuable?
Living in a world of instant information is a two-edged sword. On one hand, you can find help on nearly any subject, from learning HTML 5 to setting up an LLC. On the other hand, a little knowledge can be dangerous, convincing people that they know more than they actually do about a certain subject. We've all heard someone or other refer to the necessity of "meta tags" for search engines or try to confidently explain that they need more "RAM" so that their computer can hold more photos.
I was in high school in the mid-nineties when I first began exploring the ever-expanding world wide web. At the time, I didn't realize that my career would rely on this industry -- one which did not even exist when I was in elementary school. Now, having created websites for over half my life, I look back and see how much websites have changed in the last decade and a half. So in that vein of change, let's look at ten popular websites and their evolution throughout the last many years.

MIUI 13 Pad, point in favor of productivity
As with MIUI 13, Xiaomi will release all the details of MIUI 13 Pad on December 28, but the company has dropped some news. One of them is multitasking, a function that will allow you to work with several applications at the same time on the screen of the Xiaomi Pad 5
The truth is that for applications to work in this mode, apps must support it. Good news is that Xiaomi assures that 3,000 popular apps have already been adapted to take full advantage of this feature, and has also improved the gesture system to take the experience to the next level.

May 16, 2018
With the increase of internet usage among people, it is quite easy to get misled with the wrong information when you are dependent on the internet for information. This is a crucial point which should be kept in mind while looking for tips for caring a rescued Pomsky for sale. The Pomsky, or as is commonly known, Pomeranian husky, is one of the cutest dogs that you can find, especially when they are puppies. Well, you can find plenty of Pomsky breeders, but why buy when you can adopt one.
A Pomsky is a cross breed of Siberian husky and Pomeranian. They are also known as Pomeranian huskies and look like fluffy miniature wolves. Their rare appearance has made them a favorite among the dog lovers. These adorable canines are the latest addition to the list of designer dogs. Generally, these dog breeds are born healthy and are not prone to diseases. Whatever diseases they acquire over time are mostly inherited from their parents breed. Here are some of the essential points that I would consider before seeking Pomsky breeders near me.
Food And Diet Of A Pomsky
Pomsky dog breeds sometimes possess a good deal of vigor and are also can get complicated at times, so they would need proper feeding to get them running all the time. However, though these traits that they have inherited from their Husky ancestors are common, and it doesn’t mean they ought to eat the same foods. You must understand that they are available in exceedingly smaller body sizes and can have different biological processes from each of their inherited breeds. They ought to be given a high-quality of dried kibble which will complement all their nutritional wants, and one in all the determining factors are going to be your dog’s size. Pomskies are available in three different sizes:
- Toy Pomsky (five to nine lbs.)
- Mini Pomsky (eight to eighteen lbs.)
- Normal Pomsky (eighteen-twenty five lbs.)
In case you’re unsure that about which the best option for your pet is, it is better to consult your vet.
Training Of A Pomsky
Pomskies are very smart and retort well to primarily basic coaching strategies. However, they will typically receive the Pomeranian’s aggressiveness and the playfulness of a Siberian husky, so they must be controlled with positive and calm-emphatic guidance. Failure to do this may lead to “small dog syndrome” and other behavioral issues. For example, a Pomsky can be susceptible to resource defending just as the Pomeranians, and grasping early symptoms of the behavioral downside can assist you to eliminate them before it turns into a significant issue.
For the entire new dog owner, it’s necessary, to begin with, the fundamentals of learning to steer on a leash and potty training. Reckoning on the breeder from where you got the Pomsky from and therefore the puppy’s age, they may already inherit a pair of trick from their parents. However, it’s additionally exceptionally seemingly you’ll get to be the one that that housetrains them. Training a puppy isn’t a simple and easy job. However, it’s necessary to teach your Pomsky manners when they’re still young. In case they nose out that you’re not dominant, they’ll barefacedly exploit your feeble aspect to their benefit- as any good smart dog would do!
The average weight of a Pomsky can be calculated by the average weight of its two parents. So, the typical weight of a Pomsky will weigh around anywhere around 20—30 pounds, but there is some exceptional case such as the weight of a tom Pomsky which will be around anywhere near 9 pounds while the mini Pomskies who will be around 10-18 pounds.
Behavior And Temperament Issues
Just like the physical characteristics of the Pomsky, the behavior of the Pomskies is also hard to foretell. It will be dependent on the genetics of each puppy. In general, the Pomskies inherits their temperament issue from their parent’s breed that is the Siberian husky and the Pomeranian. So, you can expect a high intelligence and playful, loving as well as self-assured. These are the typical trait that both of the parent’s breed possesses. But, are some typical habits of the parent’s breed which may be acquired by the Pomskies that are:
- Huskies are also known as one of the noisiest dogs as they got a habit of many t howling and whining. So, you can expect your Pomskies to howl and whine frequently.
- Pomeranian, on the other hand, is known as frequent barkers, and they bark a lot and big. So, this is another habit that you can expect that the Pomsky may have.
Other than this, Pomskies can be highly protective dogs; this is a typical nature that they had inherited from the Pomskies. They will protect anything that they consider as a threat to their owner. But, Pomsky may occasionally be jumpy around small babies, and this is another common syndrome that they acquire from the Pomeranians. Although there isn’t any hard evidence as to how the Pomskies will perform as they are still a new breed, one can expect the above mentioned behavioral syndromes in their newly owned Pomskies. But apart from these, the Pomskies must be well socialized and be well trained so that they behave properly as training is an important part for the Pomskies to grow up as a loving and well-mannered dog.
Taking Care Of The Health Of Your Pomsky
You must be well aware of the health of the Pomsky for adoption as the Pomskies can be prone to some health concerns.
* Typical Health Risk Of Pomskies
Pomskies are one of the fittest dog breeds that are available and are usually immune to diseases. Whatever diseases they suffer from are usually passed on to them from their parents’ breed, that is, the Siberian husky and Pomeranian. The Most common health problems they acquire from the:
Siberian husky’s are:
- Hip Dysplasia

- Skin Problems
And from Pomeranian, they acquire:
- Dislocated Kneecap
- Tooth Decay
- Eye infection
- Skin irritation
- Plague build up
So, before you go for a Pomsky rescue, be assured that they are healthy and have relevant health clearance like proper Vaccination schedule, regular reports of the veterinary check-up of the Pomsky and its parents as well. Other than this, there are other external factors too which surround the health of the Pomsky. Other factors such as the diet and exercise schedule also have a huge impact on the health of the Pomsky.
Vaccination Of Your Pomsky
Vaccinations are important aspects of maintaining the health of your Pomsky. Beware to not take your dog to places where there are plenty of other dogs unless your Pomsky has completed taking its booster shots because these dogs are prone to diseases till then. But, you must vaccinate your dog carefully as you may accidentally over vaccinate your dog which can have a bad reaction to the health and mental state of your dog.
Deworming Your Pomsky
While you are looking for a teacup Pomsky for sale near me, you must be well aware that they are prone to worms. The common kind of worms which your Pomsky may get infected with is the hookworms and roundworms. The roundworms feed on the Pomsky’s food, and if not treated at the right time, your Pomsky may start suffering from malnutrition. Certainly, that is something that you won’t want as the Pomsky price is quite high, not to mention the risk of losing the emotional attachment to your beloved pet. And the next thing is the hookworm which feeds on the Pomsky’s blood so if not treated timely; your dog may start suffering from anemia. The deworming process of your dog must be started right from the age of 2 weeks and must be continued till the four, six, eight, twelve and sixteen weeks. The deworm process must be done after they are fully grown up to avoid them from getting heartworms.
Caring Of Your Pomsky
Just like any other dog breeds, the Pomskies must also be well groomed from time to time to maintain healthy and clean coats. They should also be taken to regular exercises to maintain a healthy and fit life of the Pomsky. You must make sure that the diet of the Pomsky is well packed with high nutrition and high-quality foods.
After assessing confirming a Pomsky full grown size, you need to take regular care of the dog by grooming, cleansing the eyes and ears, brushing the teeth, taking care of the nails, and trimming the hair. It all should be taken care properly and in time. Being one of the most costly dogs, it is imperative that you choose the right one that is fully fit and properly vaccinated to avoid any future health problems. You need to groom them as they shed a lot regularly, and sometimes they shed heavily during some seasons. | <urn:uuid:dd19fe85-ba21-450f-b619-0f2c646e4ab5> | CC-MAIN-2020-16 | https://www.pomskyforsale.net/blog/tips-care-pomsky-rescue-dog/ | 2020-04-05T03:28:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-16/segments/1585370528224.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20200405022138-20200405052138-00461.warc.gz | en | 0.964648 | 1,938 |

The four people accused of beating a 63-year-old man with a baseball bat and robbing him inside the Dillard’s parking garage at The Mall at Green Hills were arraigned in Davidson County Criminal Court on Wednesday.
Bobby Tice Jr., Catherine Mills, Johnathon Harris and Brittney Bannister each pled not guilty to charges of especially aggravated assault, stemming from the March 3 incident.
The foursome was allegedly in the parking garage area looking to rob shoppers for drug money, according to police reports. The victim, Bob DeMoss, reportedly was walking toward the mall when Tice approached him from behind and then, according to police, hit him several times in the head with a baseball bat.
DeMoss suffered extensive injuries and his family has sued Dillard’s for not providing sufficient security or lighting in the parking area.
The foursome was apprehended at separate times in the days following the alleged attack. | <urn:uuid:430f3de8-fff4-4108-95e2-ba2251f2d410> | CC-MAIN-2015-14 | http://nashvillecitypaper.com/content/city-news/foursome-arraigned-green-hills-beating | 2015-03-31T03:20:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-14/segments/1427131300280.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20150323172140-00022-ip-10-168-14-71.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.97626 | 193 |

WALTER SMITH hopes to play his part in rebuilding Rangers after making a sensational return to Ibrox last night
The former Light Blues boss has been appointed as a non-executive director of the club, with Glasgow businessman Ian Hart also taking up a place on the Gers board.
Smith launched a bid to buy the club from Charles Green's consortium this summer but has now joined the Rangers revolution. He said: "It is a great privilege to serve the club that means so much to me in the capacity of non-executive director.Serious constructive efforts are being made to rebuild Rangers after a very difficult period in the club's history and if I can play a part helping that process, I am willing to do so.
"Apart from being a former manager of the club, I am first and foremost a supporter and am no different from the thousands of other fans who have shown they're willing to do what they can to ensure Rangers rises again.
"I must make it clear, however, that I will not be playing any role in the day-to-day running of the club or the team.
"It's the manager's job to run the team and the chief executive's job to run the club's affairs.
"The role I will fulfil is to bring my experience of Rangers and football in general to the board table.
"The people who purchased the club have shown over the last few months they are serious in their intentions to rebuild Rangers and I am happy, as many other fans have done, to lend my support."
The return of Smith is a huge coup for chief executive Green as he continues to win over any doubters amongst the Light Blue legions.
Smith joins Green, Hart, chairman Malcolm Murray and finance director Brian Stockbridge at the Ibrox top table and the Yorkshireman said: "As head of the executive team at the club, it is extremely important to have a board that has the respect of investors and Rangers supporters.
"The consortium I led to buy the club are not Rangers people, but there could be none better than Walter and Ian to fill that void."
Smith's appointment will be a huge boost to everyone at Ibrox as the Gers attempt to haul themselves back to the top of the Scottish game.
He will have no input in football matters and McCoist is pleased to see his mentor and Hart pledge their allegiance to the new regime.
He said: "Walter brings tremendous experience, he has done it all and is a Rangers man through and through. His presence will be a huge benefit to the club." | <urn:uuid:43f205e7-70a4-4cb4-9974-863c6dd5cf2b> | CC-MAIN-2015-48 | http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/sport/13242945.Walter_Smith_is_back_on_board_at_Rangers/ | 2015-12-01T22:00:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-48/segments/1448398471441.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20151124205431-00251-ip-10-71-132-137.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.974498 | 532 |
Today's #AndroidAppRain has no new apps for you unfortunately – but 42 updated at @fdroidorg and 8 updated in mine. As we just celebrate the #Fediverse, one of the updates in my repo was insporation*, a client for Diaspora where my updater missed updates for almost a year due to the tag name not changing (always named "nightly"😱) #fdroid had an update for Lemuroid, a #Lemmy client, and NewPipe, the famous YT client which also supports #PeerTube.
@daver Indeed! I remember some 25y ago my printer stopped working, and a friend brought me a new ISA card with an LPD port, and my printer started working again. I asked what I owed him, and you already guess the answer: "42 Mark". I fell from my chair ROFLing, and he didn't get the joke 🤣 I found that amazing: a guy in IT who didn't know the guide…
@projectmoon Ah, good – someone who checks the content Looks like indeed I messed up a bit on the looks for more Fedi apps just updated, thanks for the correction! 👍 And indeed I thought of Lemmur (though there's also Jerboa for Lemmy).

A New York City postal processing facility that was contaminated during the 2001 anthrax attacks is now the site of the largest "green roof" in Manhattan.
The 65,000-square-foot roof area at the Morgan Processing and Distribution Center on Ninth Avenue between West 29th and West 30th streets cost $5 million to install in 2008. It affords views of such landmarks as the Empire State Building and is one of several pilot green roofs in the metropolitan area. During the anthrax attacks, the Morgan facility was one of 23 U.S. Postal Service facilities to be contaminated, according to a 2004 U.S. Government Accountability Office report. The site remained open for work during decontamination (as a processing facility, it is not open to consumers), but most of the site's 5,000 employees received precautionary antibiotics. Today, security at the facility is tight, but the seventh-floor green roof is open for employees to visit on breaks.
The Morgan facility's green roof and other new energy-saving measures there, such as replaced windows, have saved the Postal Service more than $1 million in energy expenses so far, Tom Samra, Postal Service vice president of facilities, said in a prepared statement. The location is on track toward a target to reduce storm water runoff by 75 percent in summer and 40 percent in winter, he added.
New York City has an estimated 1 billion square feet of roof space, according to Columbia University climate scientist Stuart Gaffin, that could be converted from black tar to "green," which is just one solution to the problems that conventional city roofs generate—they contribute to the urban heat island effect by storing and trapping solar energy and they collect storm water that ends up overwhelming the city's sewers and thereby polluting the waterways surrounding the city.
Buildings contribute 80 percent of all the greenhouse gas emissions in New York City mainly as a result of their associated electricity consumption, burning of fuel oil or natural gas to provide heat in the cold months and burning of non-electric cooking fuels such as gas. "We should think of them as polluting devices just like we think of automobiles, in terms of the climate problem," Gaffin says.
New York's Mayor Michael Bloomberg has committed city funds to converting some of the area's black tar and stone roofs into highly reflective white roofs, which reduce temperatures on roofs and cooling costs but fail to address the storm water runoff problem. So-called blue roofs, in which water drains are slowed down, are proposed by some to deal with the latter issue, Gaffin says. U.S. cities that have more aggressively embraced green roofs include Chicago, Seattle and Portland.
Gaffin is collecting data on all these approaches, as well as easy-to-install tray systems for green roofs, to see which are the best for decreasing a roof's temperatures and runoff.
Other green roofs have been installed at the Bronx County Courthouse (10,000 square feet), Ikea in Brooklyn (70,000 square feet), Ethical Culture Fieldston School (two roofs, measuring 5,100 square feet and 1,500 square feet, in the Bronx), a Con-Edison building in Long Island City (a quarter of an acre, or about 10,000 square feet) and Hackensack Hospital in New Jersey (about 5,000 square feet). All these projects will be eclipsed in size by a seven-acre green roof project set to go atop the Javits Center within the next two years.
Green roofs typically feature plants in a growing medium made of inorganic heat-expanded shales and clays that become very lightweight and porous so they can retain a lot of water. Plant roots adapt to these high-mineral-content media that are much lighter than conventional topsoil.
The lightest professionally installed roofs involve a four-inch planted medium on top of several layers of protective membranes atop the original roof. The layers start with a waterproof membrane (possibly PVC) other than the roof itself, then a geotextile filter cloth to prevent the medium from penetrating too far down, a root penetration barrier, a drainage layer, a second geotextile cloth for water retention, the rooftop growing medium and finally drought-tolerant vegetation.
To get the 2,000 cubic yards of growing medium required up to the seventh-floor roof of the Morgan facility, Tecta America's Brian Singley worked with specialized sub-contractors to devise a new approach. The team loaded the medium, which had been dumped by trucks into a holding pen constructed on West 30th Street adjacent to the postal facility, into the hopper of a large vacuum truck that is normally used to remove stones from roofs. By reversing the suction on the vacuum, the medium was blown onto the roof. | <urn:uuid:cc332dd6-1c16-4158-a383-97fbdc3f7970> | CC-MAIN-2015-06 | http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/postal-green-roof/ | 2015-01-31T05:45:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-06/segments/1422115869320.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20150124161109-00227-ip-10-180-212-252.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.953643 | 977 |
How did the project help me to get closer to achieving my dream?
The project was a great experience overall. We had a roadmap of activities. We started from thinking about problems in our countries. Then we thought how we could tackle those. Next, we chose a particular solution we wanted to develop and formed teams around it. The problem my team was dealing with is the problem of fundraising for ill people who need an immediate medical treatment. This is a very serious problem in Bulgaria. Usually there are people who can donate but as many people are poor, they don’t have the opportunity to do so. That’s why the idea I had was to create a platform for charity auctions. That way people could offer their belongings in auctions. The highest bidder gets the item and the money goes to a bank account of an ill person for medical treatment. We did a factsheet where we wrote the most important details as an outline for the project. We also had a place on the wall where we posted the result of all our work on the project.
Here it is:
We have a timeline of the project, rules for the team, our mission, and business model canvas. This helped me organize the ideas in my mind and made it clearer and easier to work on it. Now that I am in Bulgaria, I will start working on it and implementing the ideas in practice. | <urn:uuid:0effae8a-52f4-46e5-935a-4a742cc39e2d> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://www.icdetbg.eu/post/2019/03/20/view-how-did-the-yeeh-tc-help-me-get-closer-to-achieving-my-dream | 2024-03-02T17:54:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947475833.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20240302152131-20240302182131-00428.warc.gz | en | 0.980717 | 280 |

Indeed. That is what so fascinating.The desire and need to know where,how and why.Its the central mystery of our lives.
Please keep in mind the immortal words of Isaac Asimov --
"Are there things in the Universe that we cannot know in the usual way of observing and measuring, but that we can know in some other way -- intuition, revelation, mad insight?
"If so, how can you know that what you know in these non-knowing ways is really so?
"Anything you know without knowing, others can know only through your flat statement without any proof other than 'I know!'
"All this leads to such madness that I, for one, am content with the knowable.

About Possum Merino
Once you’ve tried it nothing else will feel as warm and soft. Possum Merino is a wonderful blend of possum fur and superfine New Zealand Merino wool with a texture similar to cashmere - luxuriously soft, incredibly lightweight, exceptionally warm and easy to wear. It won’t pill, it won’t wrinkle, it’s anti-static and is an innovative and practical market solution to an environmental challenge facing New Zealand.
The Brushtail Possum fibre has two rare qualities
- No scales so the fibre itself resists pilling as there is no friction. MerinominkTM garments stay looking new for ages. The more possum fibre in the blend the more the garments resist pilling!
- A hollow structure so the fibre has a very high warmth to weight ratio, air is trapped both within the fibre and in the fabric when blended with high crimp, fine Merino (just like insulation) so that is why MerinominkTM garments are so warm yet not bulky. For its weight, Merino wool blended with Brushtail Possum fibre is twice as warm as any other wool blend in the world!
Please follow those on care label attached to the garment. Cool hand wash with a gentle detergent. Cool rinse well. Lay flat to dry in the shade. Do not bleach. Do not tumble dry. Drycleanable.
Knitwear is the heritage, life and passion of Snowy Peak Limited, parent company of MerinominkTM. Established in 1981, Snowy Peak Limited is based in Christchurch, New Zealand. The company is named after the high country property in Canterbury in the South Island of New Zealand on which Peri Drysdale, the company founder, grew up.
Snowy Peak Limited pioneered the use of Brushtail Possum fibre blended with wool in 1992 and following deep research, launched MerinominkTMon the market in 1996. In 1998 it also launched Untouched WorldTM, an ethical lifestyle fashion brand and retail concept.
The vision of Snowy Peak Ltd, is to create a healthy, vital and dynamic future for the planet and its people, through both its products and business activity.
Having firmly established a reputation for innovative design, luxurious quality and authentic provenance, MerinominkTM has become a coveted brand for celebrities and royalty alike.
About the Brushtail Possum
The use of Brushtail Possum fibre in New Zealand benefits our environment by contributing to a reduction in the use of broadcast poisons; and to the effort to protect our native forest and birds. The Brushtail Possum is an animal introduced to New Zealand in 1837 from Australia; it is only found in Australasia. The Brushtail Possum is New Zealand’s biggest ecological threat.
Brushtail Possums occupy 95% of New Zealand, with an estimated total of nearly 60 million eating their way through thousands of tonnes of native vegetation each night, they also eat the eggs and chicks of our native species. They are legally classified as pests. Much of the control of possums has been through broadcast toxic chemicals which New Zealand wants to reduce or eliminate.
The Department of Conservation (DOC) and the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) support our use of possum fur. | <urn:uuid:8e3bc70c-b399-40cc-b39c-ae1656d6ef7d> | CC-MAIN-2019-39 | https://www.nznature.co.nz/mm-pm-peak-handwarmers | 2019-09-20T12:08:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-39/segments/1568514574018.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20190920113425-20190920135425-00012.warc.gz | en | 0.924952 | 861 |
What is the best shape swimming pool?
The best shape swimming pool is the one that fits your backyard the best. Swimming pool shape depends on the size of your yard and the shape of the lot. You should also consider what type of activities you want to do. A lap swimmer will select a different shape than the family who wants to entertain.
Is 30 mil thick vinyl liner for an in-ground pool better than the 20 mil?
Both liners usually offer the same warranty. The 30 mil liner is more money and a little thicker but that doesn’t necessarily mean it will last longer. We feel that a 30 mil liner may be better if the walls or base of the pool aren’t smooth but, they are not as pliable in radius corners and tend to rip.
How do I find a leak in my in-ground vinyl liner?
We first have to try and determine if there is actually a leak or if it is evaporation. We have specialized equipment to determine if there is a leak and where it is located. We use a listening device that puts a small electrical charge into the pool tracking the flow of electricity as it makes connections to the ground through conductive penetrations of the liner.
How do I measure water evaporation from my pool?
You can measure water evaporation in your pool by doing the bucket test. Place a five gallon bucket on the second pool step and fill it to match the water level of the pool (probably have to put concrete block in bucket before you fill it with water to help keep in place). Over the course of 2-3 days the bucket will lose water from evaporation and gain water from rainfall at the same rate as your pool! As long as there is no splash-out or backwashing during that time, if the pool level drops more than the bucket level then you have a leak.
How do I know what size pump and filter I really need?
Your pump and filter will be sized according to the volume of water in your pool. The main objective of any filtration system is the ability to turn over all the water in your pool at least once within a period of 12 hours. A Hayward 1 to 1 ½ hp super pump is usually sufficient for most residential pools.
Why does my pool lose water over the winter?
There are a few reasons why you could lose water in your pool over the winter. It is possible that you could have a leak in the liner, the winter cover could have a hole in it and as you pump the water off of the cover you are actually pumping out the pool water or the most common is the weight of the snow, ice and water on top of the cover pushing down on the water in the pool and forcing the water out over the pool sides. We highly recommend a solid safety cover to help prevent this problem from reoccurring.
How do I open and close my in-ground vinyl liner swimming pool myself?
We highly recommend that you have a pool professional open and close your pool. Many pool owners try to open and close their pool themselves, without the proper equipment, knowledge and manpower, it is more difficult then it looks. The greatest risk is in winterizing the pool. If done incorrectly it could lead to a broken skimmer, return lines, pump and/or filter. This could be a very costly mistake.
What type of winter cover would be recommended for my in-ground gunite or vinyl liner pool?
We would recommend a solid safety cover for both types of pools. Safety Covers are designed to protect both your pool and your family. Pool covers are manufactured to your specific pool size and shape, when properly installed; the safety cover will help prevent accidental intrusion by children and pets. These covers also have a drain strip in the center to allow water to flow into the pool without debris. A higher water level in a vinyl liner pool can prevent the liner from floating and a gunite pool could be forced out of the ground if the ground water is greater than the water in the pool. | <urn:uuid:c08f397d-3919-4b09-8695-14f1eb218c50> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://atppools.com/about-us/frequent-questions | 2018-06-22T19:08:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267864776.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20180622182027-20180622202027-00302.warc.gz | en | 0.961761 | 830 |
CINCINNATI, Ohio – Michael Houser was a “Matador” for the Cyclones in their 2-0 win Thursday night at Heritage Bank Center to put them up 3-2 in the series. Houser “killed” all of Toledo’s 42 shots on goal to achieve his first playoff shutout since 2019.
Even though it was a scoreless first period, the Cyclones came out with a lot of energy outshooting Toledo 14 to 8. The second period was more even with both teams having scoring chances, but it was Cincinnati drawing first blood at 17:13 with a goal by Lincoln Griffin. The final period was all Walleye. with them having 15 more shots than their counterpart. Yet, Cincinnati found a breather after Justin Vaive assisted Zack Andrusiak for his fourth goal of the playoffs. Toledo kept the pressure up for the remainder of the game and found themselves on a two-man advantage for 1:35 , but were still unable to beat Houser, the third star of the match.
The series will go back to Toledo Saturday night for Game Six, a must win for “The Fish”.

A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold. Proverbs 22:1
money, Money, MONEY!
sang Abba a long time ago and we’re still singing it in our heads each day as we wake up in the morning, getting ready to earn what will sustain our livelihood.
Yes, money is important, but sometimes – and I know I definitely fall into that category – we can get so fixated on our financial goals, that we miss the real values in life.
Blogging can be one of those instances.
Many people start a blog with the intention of journaling publicly or record their life online but, nowadays, it seems like most people who start blogging do so in order to make money with it. As much and as fast as they possibly can.
Where many bloggers struggle (I think) is that, either at the outset or somewhere along the road, the financial aspect of blogging becomes more important than their readers and the real value of the content that they share online.
Suddenly, it’s all about “How can I make the next blog post viral and get more subscribers?”
Perhaps you have that gift or that sudden inspiration and that post will go viral. But if your audience, and how you can really reach them and make a difference in their lives, is not your top priority, they will not care much about making a difference in yours either. Not only will they probably not subscribe, but their wallets will stay closed too.
Perhaps you are a fairly successful blogger because you have learned the ropes through professional courses or eBooks and a few years of experience. But if your heart is not passionate about your audience, the same way it is passionate about what you blog about, your audience will eventually feel it. I know I feel the difference between a blogger who cares (even if I know she’s out to make a living at the same time, and that’s okay) and one who’s in it only or mostly for business.
Your heart attitude could be keeping you from even greater success.
I know the following quote is being posted across so many blogs, courses and eBooks at the moment, but it’s true:
People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. Maya Angelou
And this is especially true with blogging.
You may have the best blogging titles, articles, tips, products – whatever.
If you do it primarily for the money and business aspect of it, your audience will feel it. They just will. And if they are feeling manipulated by your crafty writing art or your overly enticing offers, chances are, many will be put off who would otherwise be more than happy to subscribe and buy your products.
I know this is what’s keeping me from subscribing to or buying from certain bloggers though they are successful. I know that I’d rather buy an inferior product from a blogger whom I feel cares about me, than a superior product from one whom I feel does not.
Would you continue to blog if you did not earn a penny from it?
Is your message important enough to someone out there that you would be willing to pay for your domain and hosting (and all the other costs!) regularly but not make anything in return for it?
I’m the first to be challenged by these thoughts. Because, although there are various different reasons I decided to try that blogging thing again, I had two main goals: share what I learn and, yes, make money one day if I can.
Now, when you start off (like me!), blogging can be overwhelming and, without realising it, you start thinking about the technical aspect and the monetary side a lot more than you perhaps initially did, you lose focus and, before you know it, it’s suddenly all about how to get more subscribers and more money.
So, by all means, start or continue to blog. But each day, before you set your fingers to those keys, check your heart to see if it’s in the right place. See if you really care about your audience and whether you want that post to really help them.
Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Matthew 6:21
So, perhaps this is interpreting the verse backwards but, if your treasure, your financial success and your career are with your audience, your heart will have to beat for that audience first.

Susan Rockwell got hooked at a sheep and wool festival in Burke, Vermont, back in 1981. It was there that Rockwell, then 36, took a 10-day weaving class and decided that is what she wanted to do for the rest of her life.
She changed careers after attending law school and working in a prison in Chicago. Her family moved to Vermont shortly before 1980, and she started teaching weaving classes not long after that.
“When I learned to weave, I knew that was it. I was a weaver,” she said.
Rockwell, 71, likes the challenge of weaving. She likes figuring out how puzzle pieces of different patterns and colors go together.
“It’s very meditative and relaxing,” she said.
Rockwell, a weaving teacher at Fletcher Farm School for the Arts & Crafts in Ludlow, was presented with the Robert Frost Award at the biennial craft festival July 7.
The award is named after the poet, who was one of the first board members of the Fletcher Farm Foundation. The recipient of the award is determined annually by a vote of the board of directors.
“It’s all about honoring an artist who is also a teacher — someone who provides instruction and inspiration to others,” said Fletcher Farm board member Debi Orton.
Rockwell has been at Fletcher Farm for 25 years, making her one of the longest serving teachers at the school.
“She’s dedicated to our school, but she’s also very dedicated to her craft,” said Fletcher Farm Foundation board secretary Susan Chadwick.
Rockwell has won numerous awards for her weaving. She won Best of Show at the Vermont Weavers Guild in 2011. She has also presented at national gatherings of weavers and been to weaving events around the nation.
“She’s really a master at it,” Chadwick said.
There are about 70 teachers at Fletcher Farm who teach around 250 classes a year, from fine arts to photography as well as printmaking, painting, stenciling, felting, rug making and woodworking.
Teachers come from all over New England and as far away as Michigan. Fletcher Farm provides meals and lodging for both students and teachers.
Rockwell, who lives in Braintree, Vermont, stays at Fletcher Farm every summer to be near her students.
“She really invests in her students,” Rockwell’s daughter Shantida Oakhart, 32, said.
Some of her students come back to learn from Rockwell year after year.
Kathleen Pratorius, has taken Rockwell’s classes for the past 12 summers.
“She’s such a phenomenal teacher,” said Pratorius who is currently learning how to weave linen. “She inspires you.”
Rockwell has seen so many patterns, she can transcribe them from other countries, like Sweden. Rockwell specializes in double weave, a complex stitch that forms a two-layered cloth to make pockets and other details.
Rockwell is also active in the professional weaving community. She’s a member of Vermont Weavers Guild and Weavers Guild of Boston. Rockwell is past president of the New England Weavers Seminar, where she was tasked with picking instructors and classes.
“[Weaving] brings together people from all different socioeconomic levels,” Rockwell said.
Weaving is in Rockwell’s heritage. She learned to spin yarn from her grandmother. She then learned how to sew from her mother, a seamstress. Rockwell’s German great-grandmother was a rug weaver. Her great-grandfather from Sweden was a tailor. Her family also ran weaving mills in Massachusetts.
Rockwell still has her first project she made in 1981 — a wool poncho she continued using until a few years ago. Rockwell also designs her own clothes, like the reversible vest she wore when she was presented the Robert Frost Award.
“Your imagination is the limit of what you can do,” Rockwell said.

Everyone Wants a Bigger Piece of the Pie
There are some unhappy workers in our industry. They are fed up with low wages and increased outsourcing by the airlines — the same airlines that are recording record profits. They feel that their contribution to those airlines' profits have been ignored and they want increased pay! After all, nearly 40 percent of these workers make under $15.00/hour according to a press release sent to D.O.M. magazine by the Transportation Trades Department of the AFL-CIO.
No, i'm not talking about aircraft mechanics. These are airline food workers.The press release says that low wages are not the only thing food and service workers have to worry about. "Two of the largest airline contractors are notorious violators of the law, and have racked up dozens of infractions related to employee pay and workplace safety," The press release says. "Food caterers, especially, face tremendous pressure to keep pace with busy schedules despite being understaffed, working exceptionally long hours — some have reported clocking up to 70 hours in one week — and in extreme weather conditions. Yet, because of the outsourcing model they rely on, airlines are able to turn a blind eye to egregious, often illegal practices of the contractors they use."
A&P mechanics have plenty of responsibilities. Our training allows us to maintain the airworthiness of all sorts of aircraft. Sometimes, we don't get paid what we feel we deserve is right. Some of my past coworkers even left aviation for higher-paying jobs in other industries. Those other industries (railroads, theme parks and automotive assembly plants in my personal experience) value the variety of knowledge and training that A&Ps have. Many companies in our industry has been forced to step up to the plate and pay higher wages to meet labor requirements. Airline mechanics are dealing with the same concerns of low wages and increased outsourcing.
I guess in the end, the airlines will address these issues the way they see fit. I think it's ironic that mechanics aren't the only ones fighting for better pay and less outsourcing. I just think this is apples and oranges. You just can't compare them to each other.
What do you think?

Press Release – September 2019 – OSET Bikes, the world’s leading manufacturer of youth electric off-road motorbikes, is calling for kids (and parents) to ditch games consoles in favour of two wheels.
There have been over 7.5 million Xbox One and PS4 Consoles sold in the UK. In 2020, total UK games revenue is expected to reach £5.5bn, taking over book sales at £4.9bn. And with e-sports the second fastest growing sector in entertainment and media, experiencing increases of 21% last year, it is on course to reach revenues of £48m by 2022.
Ian Smith, founder and CEO of OSET Bikes, said: “Kids down time has to be about balance. We see news reports weekly about the obesity crisis, and especially in kids. While reducing sugar intake is critical, it needs to go hand in hand with getting kids more active.
“Instead of experiencing sport through a screen we would encourage kids and parents to get out there and give something different a go! The sport of trials riding is not an obvious option for many parents, but it’s a fantastic sport that will offer children an active hobby for life. We know people the still enjoy riding into their 70s and beyond.”
Trials riding is the art of riding over, through and round obstacles on a motorbike or pedal bike without putting your feet down. Obstacles include things like rocks, tree roots and streams. Events are held outside and run by motorcycle clubs across the UK, that are governed by several authoritative bodies including the ACU and MCF.
Ian continued: “We would encourage parents to check out OSET Cups which are all electric, non-intimidating events and a great way to get kids into the sport. Or if you’re a bit more adventurous take a look at your local trials club, and see when their next youth event is taking place to go along and have a chat and see what it’s all about.
“Trials is about control, balance and technique. It’s not about going fast. Surprising to many is that it’s a sport you can practice in your back garden! OSET bikes are electric, which means they’re virtually silent, so you won’t annoy the neighbours! Many people make space in the garden for a few pallets and rocks to ride over!
Nuffield Trust reports that a quarter of kids age 2 – 10 are obese. Getting active by finding an activity that will compete with a console and engage kids is essential.
Ian finished: “If you can ride a balance bike you can ride an OSET. Our bikes are aimed specifically at this age range where we deliver safety and fun as our priorities. Parents can turn the power, speed and response down to a slow walking pace, and simply turn these up as little ones get more proficient. And when it comes to fun, we have events all over the country where you can come and ride for around £15 for up to four hours.”
What will the man in red deliver down your chimney this year? A console or an electric motorbike? | <urn:uuid:847f42be-5147-44db-9d46-01f76f785af0> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://thepack.news/ditch-the-consoles-and-get-outside-to-do-some-trials-riding/ | 2023-09-26T14:56:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510214.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926143354-20230926173354-00102.warc.gz | en | 0.958497 | 664 |
The pace of GOP voter suppression stories and scams is now cascading in faster than we're able to fully check out or report in detail. So, for now, here are a few very important stories that are likely to become even more relevant in the coming days, even as we've only time for quick coverage here at the moment...
• Another reason why pre-election poll numbers in GA may be meaningless
This morning, Ernie Canning briefly recounted the, um, storied history of Georgia's 100% unverifiable Diebold touch-screen voting system and how it has a habit of reporting results that defy pre-election polls. At the same time, the front-end gaming of the state's system through voter suppression remains a serious concern in the Peach State.
Georgia's peach of a Sec. of State Brian Kemp (R), a far-right political hack, has been attempting to block the unprecedented progressive voter registration push in the state, first by using an apparently bogus criminal investigation to shut down one of the progressive groups leading the effort, and now, the group charges in court filings, by failing to add some 50,000 new registrants to the voting rolls.
If true, that's a lot of soon-to-be disenfranchised voters and a lot of what should be described as election fraud.
Kemp calls charges "ridiculous", because, of course he does. He says all registrations turned in have been properly processed.
Last month, Kemp, the state's chief election official charged with overseeing free and fair elections in the state (during which he himself is also on the ballot this year) was heard on audio tape recorded over the summer warning fellow GOP activists: "Democrats are working hard, and all these stories about them, you know, registering all these minority voters that are out there and others that are sitting on the sidelines, if they can do that, they can win these elections in November."
We've been keeping our eyes on this story, in particular, for a while --- though still not sure what to make of it. Suspect it may grown in relevance in the days ahead.
• Palast: Millions of legal voters at risk via RW 'Crosscheck' scheme
Our friend Greg Palast exposes the dark Rightwing effort led by GOP "voter fraud" fraudster and Kansas Sec. of State Kris Kobach to create and use a 20-state database to challenge the voting rights of millions of legal and legally registered voters based on faulty comparisons of registration records in different states.
Palast details how millions of voters are flagged in Kobach's database as being registered in more than one state --- and may be either removed from the rolls or challenged at the polls on Election Day on that basis --- even though the records often feature voters with the same first and last name, but totally different middle-names and social security numbers, etc.
• Faulty 'non-citizen' voter study makes it into 'WaPo' and wingnut websitery
In case you've yet to see it, this is the "evidence" from a pair of Old Dominion University academics that wingnuts are now citing high and low to support their faith-based belief that non-citizens are somehow affecting the results of elections in large numbers. Though that article was posted by guest bloggers on the non-edited "Monkey Cage" blog at WaPo, the wingnuts are using it to claim "Washington Post is reporting...!", etc. all over the place over the past few days.
The article itself, and the study its based on, is weak, to say the least. The very same WaPo blog largely debunked the piece, destroyed it actually, in two separate posts (here and here) almost immediately after the first faulty report.
Lots of folks, largely fellow academics, have debunked it, in fact, as its based on an Internet poll with a tiny sample that includes just 5 unverified self-reported non-citizen voters. Then, it takes the unverified tiny sample and extrapolates like crazy to charge that "non-citizen" votes "could have" stolen the 2008 election for Minnesota's Sen. Al Franken! And it's "possible" they were responsible for Obama's 2008 victory in North Carolina, too!
But, when one is grasping for straws, everything looks like a straw. And the original post (as opposed to the debunkings) are now playing on Rightwing "voter fraud" fraud sites and "news" outlets everywhere.
The most fun part: RWers are citing that article in support of the need for polling place Photo ID restrictions. Of course, two problems with that assertion, even if the data used in the study wasn't already known to be faulty: a) Many non-citizens have Photo IDs, such as drivers licenses. b) The authors of the original blog item even write within it that Photo ID restrictions are "strikingly ineffective" at deterring the type of "voter fraud" they are writing about in the piece! For some reason, the wingers fail to notice that paragraph (along with all the articles now published that debunk the original).

Peel and slice bananas into 1-inch slices and arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Gently spread a dab of peanut butter on top of each banana slice. Sprinkle tops with sea salt.
Melt 2/3 of the chocolate.
Microwave option: Place chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 30 seconds. Stir chocolate well with a rubber spatula, then heat for another 30 seconds. Stir and repeat if necessary but stop microwaving before chocolate is completely melted. Stir until smooth.
Double-boiler options: Heat about an inch or so of water in a saucepan until it begins to simmer. Place a heat-proof bowl or pan over the saucepan. Add 2/3 of the chocolate and keep stirring with a rubber spatula until chocolate is almost fully melted. Take off heat.
Quickly add remaining chocolate and stir so it’s smooth and shiny.
Gently drizzle chocolate over the banana and peanut butter slices with a spoon. Keep stirring chocolate so it doesn’t harden. (Tip: make them look fancier by freezing the bananas for an hour first then using a fork to dip them in chocolate and completely cover, but I’m too lazy for that extra step!)
Stick the baking sheet in the freezer and let chocolate harden for at least 1 hour. These are great for just grabbing a slice or two at a time for a quick pick-me-up! | <urn:uuid:9af850d4-43be-4328-8704-e40765667f97> | CC-MAIN-2020-16 | https://food52.com/recipes/20385-dark-chocolate-frozen-peanut-butter-banana-bites | 2020-04-10T10:11:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-16/segments/1585371893683.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20200410075105-20200410105605-00207.warc.gz | en | 0.886894 | 301 |
Body of missing East Grand Forks, Minn., boy found
Forum News Service
EAST GRAND FORKS, Minn. -- Authorities confirm they have found the body of Anthony Kuznia, 11, missing from his rural East Grand Forks home since 2 p.m. Wednesday.
He was found in the Red River near Lincoln Park Golf Course in Grand Forks, N.D.
A massive search party that included volunteers and law enforcement agencies from around the region combed the fields and forest for him shortly after his grandmother reported him missing from his home in northwest Minnesota. The search went through the night and into the early morning and continued around 8 a.m.
More than 400 volunteers signed up today. They were joined by the mounted posse from Polk County, a U.S. Customs and Border Protection helicopter equipped with thermal imaging equipment and boats equipped with sonar, among others.
A prayer service for Kuznia was earlier scheduled for 7 tonight at his church, United Lutheran Church at Fourth Avenue South and South Chestnut Street in Grand Forks.
Kuznia had autism and was known to wander off and hide before. He liked to explore tents, recreational vehicles, cave-like spaces and the basement of homes. And he was drawn to water. | <urn:uuid:ef1f077a-a648-4fbf-b499-da26ead11020> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.wctrib.com/content/body-missing-east-grand-forks-minn-boy-found | 2016-10-21T17:22:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988718285.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183838-00228-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.985222 | 264 |

Liberal muslim dating
The publication of the document, which will receive a high-profile launch at Westminster Abbey today, is significant because those supporting it include imams from the more orthodox Islamic schools of thought and evangelical Christians.Among those who have signed up to the document include Sheikh Ibrahim Mogra, a prominent Leicester-based imam from the conservative Deobandi school, the Right Rev Paul Hendricks, associate bishop of Southwark Catholic Archdiocese, and Amra Bone, one of the only women in the country to sit in a Sharia court.
In fact, it is often encouraged as it is believed that the woman will convert to Islam.
In Islam, men are allowed to marry "people of the book", Christians and Jews.
But Muslim women are not allowed to marry outside their faith.

Ray View, The Downs, Benfleet
The Maternity Home on the Downs
This picture shows Ray View in 1912 when it was a maternity home. The matron, standing outside the property, was Mrs Raffin. The property was built by Mrs Raffin’s husband and his partner, Bonser. The ‘labour’ room was behind the top left-hand window.
In later years Ray View was occupied by the Tyler family between 1943 and 1959. Rex Tyler spent his boyhood there and his father was the Downs warden.
Later, the Crimmins family lived at Ray View, with Bill Crimmins being the warden.
Further down along the side of the railway, heading east, stood another dwelling, a small bungalow called Kersey Farm. Sid Cripps was the occupier and he kept pigs at the rear of the property. Sid, a small man, was well known at the Hoy & Helmet Public House. He entered the pub with his cap straight, but so rumour had it, he always left with it turned to the side.
Kersey Farm stood in what was known as the ‘horse field’. Some brickwork still remains. An earth heap, nearly opposite, covers an air raid shelter.
At the time of World War II anti aircraft guns were positioned in the next field, to the east. Rex Tyler said there was a military type control centre up above, towards St Mary’s Road, in the embankment.
During the war, Sid Cripps ‘arrested’ a german soldier, whom he saw come down on a parachute onto the Downs. The soldier served out the rest of the war at Kersey Farm. When the war ended, Sid and the soldier remained friends.
Kersey Farm was demolished in the 1950s due to flooding. | <urn:uuid:01e2d047-3029-4813-a196-d40aaade027d> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.benfleethistory.org.uk/content/browse-articles/areas/the-downs/ray-view-the-downs-benfleet | 2022-08-09T04:23:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570901.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809033952-20220809063952-00013.warc.gz | en | 0.981337 | 393 |
Sheriff’s deputies are asking for assistance locating a vehicle and its occupant wanted for questioning following an attempted break-in Tuesday evening at White Memorial Church on White Memorial Church Road in the Willow Spring community.
A church member discovered where someone had attempted to pry open a door to a storage unit at the rural church.
Sheriff’s Captain Jeff Caldwell said a suspicious vehicle was seen in the area around the time the incident was reported. The vehicle was a black pickup truck with a white deer head skeleton sticker in the back glass. The truck was being driven by a white male. The person is wanted for questioning and is not considered to be a suspect at this time.

Hand-engraved sterling silver and gold inlaid necklace.
A good luck charm. The plum (梅 / ume) is one of three symbols traditionally associated with happy occasions by the Japanese, e.g. New Year, weddings. The other two are the chestnut tree and bamboo. Ume (plum) means “nobility and long life”, in recognition of its resilience during winter, and its ability to flower in the cold, with a rich scent.

So today we were greeted by news which was to be expected really, and to be quite honest I don't even know why I'm bothering to write about it seeing as every blog in the UK is probably already covering this story but for the sake of adding to critical mass, I'll state the issues.
Today the news was reporting on the '1984' style press control:
Apparently the British Government has seen fit to bring in a bunch of new laws which not only strongly restrict the media's ability to report on stories (not that the mass media was ever that great at bringing things to peoples attention in the first place) but also means that there is a serious threat of ordinary internet users being sued for damages for cases of slander and or defamation. Those at risk includes me, for writing this blog and it includes you if you decided to post up unsubstantiated bullshit on Facebook or Twitter - quite literally you can be held accountable for saying anything, really, if someone can falsify evidence to the contrary to what you have said.
That said, this is nothing new. Hundreds of people have already been arrested (and charged) for things said on Facebook, and I'm guessing the toll for people losing their jobs for 'I hate my boss, I think he is a cunt' comments, probably extends to the hundreds of thousands mark. Lets face it, the internet isn't safe anymore, in particular Facebook which was always an intelligence finding database from the get-up.
You have to ask, is this really an attack on the 'free-press'? Or is it really an attack on the internet's ability to quickly get information across?
Lets be honest, if it wasn't for the internet most of us would still be believing there was actually a point to the wars in the Middle East, that the economy really was failing due to genuine mistakes and that politicians actually have our best interests at heart. The internet has been a brilliant tool for unlocking minds and dispelling the bollocks stories we've been told over the centuries, until now. This could be seriously damaging for everyone who actually cares about learning the truth about things.
Lets take a scenario for arguments sake:
A woman is kidnapped and gang raped repeatedly by a group of highly wealthy politicians and bankers. She gets out, and no one believes her, the police are too scared to chase up the case and so in desperation she posts her ordeal up on the internet, because currently if you have a huge problem which no one seems to be helping you with, you post it on the internet to try and get publicity. If these people were so rich that they could pay off the police and pay for some witnesses to vouch for them being some place else at the time this rape allegedly happened, they could then take that woman to the cleaners and infinancially rape her too, just to really rub the salt in the wounds.
Whilst this may seem a bit of an extreme example, there are tons of cases which have received publicity through the internet, people who have won against corruption and blackmail, this Act would potentially put a stop to that.
Thing is, its not just freedom of speech which is under attack.
The past few years has seen both the European Union and America try and bring in internet laws such as 'SOPA' which far extend past their premise that it is just for preventing online piracy. In any case, despite both SOPA in the states and the European equivalent, the legislation was rejected on privacy grounds. Despite that, starting from next year in 2014, in the UK internet service providers will be required to log and monitor your download habits and give you a 'three strikes' warning, where presumably your internet speeds will be slowed until eventually you receive nasty letters through the post asking you to come to court.
The same is happening in America too, albeit they get six strikes instead of our three.
Europe and America both have the sinister issue of having to pay £20 (or $30) to appeal against an ISP's decision, because, you know, its not like the UK or America has a Bill of Rights or anything. And it gets worse. You ever posted something like a video of your mate falling over, onto YouTube? You put some music onto that clip? Guess what, if you did, you could be fined under these new proposals.
In any case just be glad you don't live in Germany where the lines between civil and criminal cases are blurred. If you are caught downloading porn illegally over there the porn studio send letters to your home demanding a payment settlement and then post your name publicly for everyone to laugh at (unless they pay £650 straight to the firm straight away without question.) Apparently the potential damage to relationships is neither here nor there to these arseholes.
Trouble is, its set to get worse. Gone are the days where the internet danced to the tune of dial-up tones and the anarchistic web pages ran wild, slowly but surely the internet is becoming standardised and my prediction is that eventually all the websites we take for granted today will be shut down and we will all be given some form of internet passport. The internet will be like a glorified Ceefax, except it draws more information out about you, than you do about it.
For example, there was huge controversy about Google's terms and conditions changing last year. People generally don't care that much anymore now its old news, but in my opinion people should be very scared of an internet organisation which demands you use a 'real name' when filling out your profile. Its not my belief that Google is necessarily some Government sponsored spy (that's Facebook) but I do think that they are deliberately and undeniably creating a file on you to know how best to sell products to you.
Facebook on the other hand is without question being used by police forces to gather intelligence on us, and as technology increases that ability will only grow. They are working on software which can predict where in the world flashpoints and crimes are about to take place and software which evaluates all your likes and dislikes in your Facebook timeline and makes a judgement on you about how likely you are to commit a crime.
All we need now is some sort of drug which makes us all docile and apathetic.
Oh hold on!

Breast Augmentation Surgery
What the breast implant surgery can achieve:
When it can be done?
How the size of the breasts is increased?
Your first consultation with your cosmetic plastic surgeon
During your first visit your doctor will discuss several points like
- Why you want breast implant surgery and what are your expectations
- Your medical history including allergies, other diseases, use of medicines and supplements
- Your life style and habits like alcohol, tobacco and drug
- Your family history of any disease and that of breast cancer
- Your examinations will involve
- General check up and discussion of any health related issues and risk factors
- Examination of breasts, measurements of certain parameters, quality of skin,
- If required a photograph of your breasts may be taken
- Methods of breast enlargements, their benefits risk and complications will be discussed
- Possible results
The consultation also involves answering all your questions and concerns. You should feel free to ask any questions to remove doubts about the procedure.
What does the doctor do in operation?
- Implant Operation:
The basic principle is to place an implant- a balloon like structure, behind the breasts.The operation is done under general anesthesia. An incision is made close to the lower border of the breasts. The space is created behind the musle of the chest and implant is placed underneath. After the implant is placed, the incision is closed .
Here fat is removed from tummy, buttocks or thighs with syringe liposuction. The fat is allowed to settle. The fluid and blood component is removed. Remaining fat is injected under the breasts with the help of a syringe.
What are the types of implants?
There are two types of implants available. The one filled with silicone gel and the one filled with saline.
The silicone gel implants give better projection and feeling to the breasts. The silicone gel filled implants do not collapse or flatten even when ruptured. The gel remains within the implant. Saline implants will flatten soon after rupture. The saline will be absorbed in the body.
What is the course after operation?
The patient will be able to move around in 24 hours. She can be discharged on the same evening or next day morning. She might need to put on a special bra. The plastic surgeon will instruct in selected cases. A change of dressing is required after 48 hours and on 5th day. Stitches are dissolving type and need not be removed. Light duty can be resumed after 3 days. Around 10 days, one can resume full work. Stretching the arms, lifting weight is allowed after 3 to 4 weeks.
Breasts will remain tender – causing mild pain on touching – in some cases for about 3 to 4 weeks. There will not be any pain otherwise. The incision looks raised above the skin and pinkish red to begin with. It flattens and returns to normal color gradually. Over a period of time the incision will become invisible.
There will not be any problem with pregnancy or breast feeding after breast augmentation
What are the risks?
Breast implant surgery in general, is a very safe procedure. Life threatening complications are very rare. Some other complications are
- Capsular contracture: The body forms a thick skin like structure around the implant. This layer may shrink over a period of time. This can cause some pain or a feeling of heaviness, hardness in the breasts. It is possible to treat such cases by surgery. Sometimes the implant has to be changed.
- Implant rejection: Implant is essentially an external material. The body of some patient may not accept this material. If this happens, the implant is removed and the breast get back their original size and shape.
- Implant rupture inside the body: This can happen with some injury to the body. If this happens with the silicone gel implant, the gel leaks out in the surrounding tissue and has to be removed. If this happens with the saline filled implant, the saline that leaks out mixes with the blood. This saline is the same that is given in veins by the doctors. It is therefore harmless. In any case the breasts return to their preoperative size. The remaining implant has to be removed. It may be possible to place another implant while removing the ruptured one.
- Change of sensation around nipple: In some cases there is a sensation of tingling and numbness or absence of sensation soon after operation. This returns to normal in about 6 weeks to 6 months.
- Bleeding and Infection
It is to be noted that all these complications are uncommon and not all the complications would occur in a given patient.
Can this operation cause Cancer?
So far it has not been noticed that putting an implant behind the breast can cause cancer. It is however essential to inform your doctor about the implant when he/she examines the breasts. If the breasts have to undergo x-ray (Mammography), then the doctor should be informed so that he can change the x-ray factors. | <urn:uuid:9bcf6a8a-61a5-47d1-b503-fb770d31537c> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://nishthawellness.com/breast-augmentation/ | 2020-08-07T20:44:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439737225.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20200807202502-20200807232502-00589.warc.gz | en | 0.921946 | 1,026 |
The Spotlight is on Photoshop Guru: Colin Smith
July 15, 2007 9:23 am
The Renderosity Spotlight is shining on award winning Photoshop legend, Colin Smith. Colin is reluctant celebrity, and exceedingly humble for someone who has been bestowed the title of Photoshop Guru. Although he acknowledges his title, he squirms slightly at the mention of his infamy. Colin does not understand what all the fuss is about, after all, he is just doing what he loves: sharing his Photoshop knowledge with the world.
The man behind the PhotoshopCafe, Colin works endless hours to hone his Photoshop skills. Not only is he an amazing artist, designer, and photographer, he also finds time to author several Photoshop instructional books and training videos.
If you currently work with Photoshop, or have always yearned to find out why Photoshop is the industry standard … gather your questions, because the Photoshop Guru is here to give you the answers.
I vividly recall the first moment I opened Adobe® Photoshop®. I was hooked immediately. I remember staring at my computer screen and saying "wow, that is so cool," over and over again. What was your first Photoshop experience like? Were you enthralled, initially intimidated, or both?
The first time I opened Photoshop I was a little confused about resolution, but once I began to experiment I knew that was the program for me. I loved the way I could work just like in the real world, with brushes that didn't require any math. There wasn't too much to be intimidated with because it was version 2.5 (First version for PC). There were no layers or anything. I can imagine it must be intimidating for new users now that there are so many features in CS3.
Do you have a degree in art or computer graphics? Do you feel that formal art training is helpful to understanding the intricacies of Photoshop?
My formal studies were in telecommunications. I've always had an art background and was fortunate to have a good mentor when I began work in the industry. I feel that formal training is wonderful and if you have access to it, take it.
If you didn't have that opportunity, all isn't lost. Some of the best artists and designers I know, had no formal training. Somewhere along the road you are going to have to learn the fundamentals if you want to be good though. I am fortunate that I love to self study so the growth process has been a pleasure for me.

How did you land your first job as a designer? Was this your first introduction to Photoshop?
I was actually doing some work on the phone systems for a company when the magazine designer left. I had previously shown some of my designs in CorelDraw 3 to the senior Editor. I guess I left enough of an impression and was offered the job. This was the first time I used Photoshop on a 486 PC running windows. I think it had a whopping 4 MEGS of ram.
Oh, I remember those days. How did you come up with the concept for PhotoshopCAFE?
I found it very difficult to get information when I was starting. No-one would tell you secrets and no-one would reach out to young designers. I decided to start a personal web page and write tutorials on the different techniques I discovered. I wanted to do for others what I wish had been done for me. I really didn't expect the site to take off like it did.

When were you first tagged with the title; Photoshop Guru? Do you ever feel it is a heavy burden to live up to, or does it drive you to innovative achievements?
I was as shocked as anyone when my work was first recognized. I have never been driven by other people's opinions. I've never been one to follow the crowd. I have always been driven by a desire to create something new. I compete with myself. I set goals and then push myself to achieve them. Most of my work has been experiments, trying new things and challenging myself. I'm thrilled that I can make a living doing what I love.
Photoshop is a complex program. While others make the learning process complicated, your teaching techniques (books, online tutorials, videos) make learning Photoshop both fun and effortless. What is the philosophy behind your specific teaching method?
Thanks! For a start, I love Photoshop and I'm passionate about it. I think that passion will always come through. As for my method. I have always taught in a way that I would like to learn. I look back at the days when I was learning and thought "What are the biggest things that helped me?" I try to keep it simple and practical. I have seen some materials where the instructor is too busy showing everyone what they know. My job isn't to impress people with my knowledge, it's to impart that knowledge and help them get it. If people can't use the information in the real-world, I won't teach it.

Computer graphics are constantly changing, how has Adobe's newest versions of Photoshop (Photoshop CS3 and Photoshop CS3 Extended) kept up with the wants and needs of CG artists?
CS3 has opened up big time, allowing 3D and Video into Photoshop. Although these features are limited right now, it's interesting to see where Adobe will go with it in the future. I'm really excited about the possibilities that are there. Adobe has recognized what CG artists are doing and building tools to help. Plug-ins like the Strata [in] plugins extend that functionality even more and allow us to create and manipulate 3D models right inside Photoshop. This is great for things like pre vis, comps and matte work. The fact that Adobe's sights are back on designers really excites me.
As a successful entrepreneur (designer, photographer, author, teacher, web site CEO) when do you have time for yourself? Outside of work, what do you do for fun?
It's definitely sporadic. When I'm working on big projects like new books or videos, I'm working all the time and have little time for myself. I work hard, and when the works done, I get to relax. I do need to take more time for myself than I do. Funny thing is that I love my work so much, that sometimes my work is indistinguishable from my hobbies. I often joke that when I'm not working, I'm taking photos and creating new pieces of digital art. I do like to play chess at the coffee shop with my friends. I enjoy taking trips, exploring and scuba diving among other things.
If you were forced to narrow your artistic talents to one field, what would you be most passionate about: photography, computer graphics, web design, writing, public speaking?
Now that a tough one! I love the variety of what I do. I would have to say that Computer Graphics are my first love. There is nothing quite like putting on some good tunes, forgetting time and creating. Everything else that I do flows out of my love for the art.
Have you been involved with SIGGRAPH? Will you be at this year's Conference?
I usually attend the conference. I do a book signing for one of my publishers and then wander around and look at everything. I have been meaning to look into speaking at the conference. Perhaps next year?
Realistically, the initial investment in Photoshop is outside the budget of many "nonprofessional" artists. Why would you recommend Photoshop over other less expensive digital art software, such as Paint Shop Pro?
There are two ways to approach that question. If the nonprofessional hopes to break into the industry one day, Photoshop is a must know. Any employer will expect the artist to use the industry standard which is Photoshop.
The second reason is that Photoshop is so powerful and flexible. It's a smooth and stable piece of software. There are tons of resources available on the subject and a huge user community. I personally feel that Photoshop is unmatched in it's power. If it's too expensive there are cheaper options like Photoshop Elements. There are other good painting programs out there like Corel Painter that shouldn't be ignored either.

Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule and allowing us to put you under the Renderosity Spotlight. One last interview question before you participate in the Q and A from our readers … What recommendations do you have for artists experiencing Photoshop for the first time?
Well, I could be a complete sellout and say buy all my training videos. Seriously though, stick at it. Don't try to digest the entire program at once. Break off little chunks and experiment with them. Take one tool at a time and explore all the possibilities, Once you know what each tool can do, its easy to find the right effect your looking for.
Get your hands on as much training materials that you can. This could be books, videos or online tutorials. I have a bunch of free tutorials at PhotoshopCAFE that will help you get started. Don't just follow the tutorials blindly. Do the tutorial until you can create the effect without looking at the instructions. Then try a few variations and experiment. The keys to mastering Photoshop are experimentation and practice. Look around great sites like Renderosity and be inspired and learn from the works of other artists.
Thanks for the opportunity to appear under the spotlight and say a few words.

IBM announced yesterday that it has filed a formal protest with the U.S. Government Accountability Office over the structure of the Pentagon’s winner-take-all $10 billion, 10-year JEDI cloud contract. The protest came just a day before the bidding process is scheduled to close. As IBM put it in a blog post, they took issues with the single vendor approach. They are certainly not alone.
IBM doesn’t disguise the fact that it thinks the contract has been written for Amazon to win and they believe the one-vendor approach simply doesn’t make sense. “No business in the world would build a cloud the way JEDI would and then lock in to it for a decade. JEDI turns its back on the preferences of Congress and the administration, is a bad use of taxpayer dollars and was written with just one company in mind.” IBM wrote in the blog post explaining why it was protesting the deal before a decision was made or the bidding was even closed.
For the record, DOD spokesperson Heather Babb told TechCrunch last month that the bidding is open and no vendor is favored. “The JEDI Cloud final RFP reflects the unique and critical needs of DOD, employing the best practices of competitive pricing and security. No vendors have been pre-selected,” she said.
Much like Oracle, which filed a protest of its own back in August, IBM is a traditional vendor that was late to the cloud. It began a journey to build a cloud business in 2013 when it purchased Infrastructure as a Service vendor SoftLayer and has been using its checkbook to buy software services to add on top of SoftLayer ever since. IBM has concentrated on building cloud services around AI, security, big data, blockchain and other emerging technologies.
Both IBM and Oracle have a problem with the one-vendor approach, especially one that locks in the government for a 10-year period. It’s worth pointing out that the contract actually is an initial two-year deal with two additional three year options and a final two year option. The DOD has left open the possibility this might not go the entire 10 years.
It’s also worth putting the contract in perspective. While 10 years and $10 billion is nothing to sneeze at, neither is it as market altering as it might appear, not when some are predicting the cloud will be $100 billion a year market very soon.
IBM uses the blog post as a kind of sales pitch as to why it’s a good choice, while at the same time pointing out the flaws in the single vendor approach and complaining that it’s geared toward a single unnamed vendor that we all know is Amazon.
The bidding process closes today, and unless something changes as a result of these protests, the winner will be selected next April

The more I think about it, it’s sad to think that someone who has done so little for civil rights (Clarence Thomas) replaced someone so great (Thurgood Marshall) who did so much for civil rights. It’s almost unforgivable that George H.W. Bush, in 1991, nominated Clarence Thomas to the Supreme Court to replace one of the important figures in black history, Thurgood Marshall.
Here is a lengthy excerpt from Wikipedia:
Marshall won his very first U.S. Supreme Court case, Chambers v. Florida, 309 U.S. 227 (1940), at the age of 32. That same year, he was appointed Chief Counsel for the NAACP. He argued many other cases before the Supreme Court, most of them successfully, including Smith v. Allwright, 321 U.S. 649 (1944); Shelley v. Kraemer, 334 U.S. 1 (1948); Sweatt v. Painter, 339 U.S. 629 (1950); and McLaurin v. Oklahoma State Regents, 339 U.S. 637 (1950). His most famous case as a lawyer was Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, 347 U.S. 483 (1954), the case in which the Supreme Court ruled that “separate but equal” public education was unconstitutional because it could never be truly equal. In total, Marshall won 29 out of the 32 cases he argued before the Supreme Court.
During the 1950s, Thurgood Marshall developed a friendly relationship with J. Edgar Hoover, the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. In 1956, for example, he privately praised Hoover’s campaign to discredit T.R.M. Howard, a maverick civil rights leader from Mississippi. During a national speaking tour, Howard had criticized the FBI’s failure to seriously investigate cases such as the 1955 killers of George W. Lee and Emmett Till. An FBI informant reported that Marshall had “no use for Howard and nothing would please him more than to see Howard completely crushed.” Ironically, two years earlier Howard had arranged for Marshall to deliver a well-received speech at a rally of his Regional Council of Negro Leadership in Mound Bayou, Mississippi only days before the Brown decision.
President John F. Kennedy appointed Marshall to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in 1961. A group of Democratic Party Senators led by Mississippi’s James Eastland held up his confirmation, so he served for the first several months under a recess appointment. Marshall remained on that court until 1965, when President Lyndon B. Johnson appointed him Solicitor General.
On June 13, 1967, President Johnson appointed Marshall to the Supreme Court following the retirement of Justice Tom C. Clark, saying that this was “the right thing to do, the right time to do it, the right man and the right place.” Marshall was confirmed as an Associate Justice by a Senate vote of 69-11 on August 31, 1967. He was the 96th person to hold the position, and the first African-American.
Meanwhile, Thomas fought against civil rights and continues to fight against civil rights.
From The Daily Voice:
In an 8-1 U.S. Supreme Court decision, Justice Clarence Thomas cast the lone vote against a key provision of the Voting Rights Act on Monday (June 22).
The Court, in Northwest Austin Municipal Utility District Number One v. Holder (PDF link) declined to overturn the 1965 Voting Rights Act that has often been challenged by conservative critics as unnecessary. Instead it avoided the “difficult” question about the constitutionality of the law. But the Court did allow a tiny Texas municipality to be exempted from a requirement to provide advance notice before making changes to its election procedures.
In his dissent, Thomas seemed to argue that the Voting Rights Act is no longer necessary because the explicit racial segregation of the Jim Crow era is gone.
”The violence, intimidation and subterfuge that led Congress to pass Section 5 and this court to uphold it no longer remains,” Thomas wrote. He admitted that in 1965, “Congress had every reason to conclude that States with a history of disenfranchising voters based on race would continue to do all they could to evade the constitutional ban on voting discrimination.” But, Thomas added, “The extensive pattern of discrimination that led the Court to previously uphold Section 5 . . . no longer exists…And the days of ‘grandfather clauses, property qualifications, ‘good character’ tests, and the requirement that registrants ‘understand’ or ‘interpret’ certain matter,’ are gone.”
Some things change, but other things remain the same.
It hurts to think this man replaced the great Thurgood Marshall. | <urn:uuid:4a07f81b-4592-4c36-a318-73601c9a1ea2> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://simmerdown3.wordpress.com/2009/06/25/ | 2013-06-20T07:16:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368710963930/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516132923-00099-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.958623 | 1,001 |
The Value of Neuropsychological Testing in Addiction Treatment
As our understanding of substance abuse grows, the medical community is increasingly recognizing the need for neuropsychological testing as part of the recovery process. So what is neuropsychological testing and what role does it play in addiction treatment? By exploring the value of neuropsychological testing, particularly when administered in a residential setting, you can come to understand why this may be an essential component of your healing journey.
Prolonged drug abuse changes you. In some ways, these changes are obvious—you become increasingly preoccupied with substances of abuse, your personality may become altered, your ability to maintain healthy relationships, keep a job, or practice self-care can be compromised. Even if these changes may not be visible or alarming to you while in a state of active addiction, they are often observable to those around you, providing important clues about your emotional and behavioral state.
However, drug abuse also changes you in ways that are not always as apparent. We now know that addiction is a chronic, relapsing brain disorder; drugs change the way your brain functions, priming it for ongoing drug use. But addiction doesn’t only perpetuate itself; rather, its impact on the brain can create significant cognitive changes that alter the way you think, feel, and behave. These changes can have a drastic effect on your ability to function in ways great and small, including your ability to engage in treatment when you decide to get help for your addiction. At the same time, your cognitive state may be affected by cognitive challenges and comorbid conditions, including mental health disorders and neurodegenerative diseases that can, in turn, inform your addiction and your overall functionality.
Considering the complex relationship between cognitive function and drug addiction, evaluating and describing your cognitive abilities should be a fundamental part of the addiction treatment process. High-quality addiction treatment programs recognize the value of neuropsychological testing at various stages of recovery and use the findings of these assessments to create more personalized, transformative treatment experiences.
What is Neuropsychological Testing?
Neuropsychological testing is designed to evaluate your cognitive abilities through a series of standardized tests. These tests investigate your functioning in a number of areas, including:
- Executive function
- Sensorimotor functions
- Mood state and emotion
- Quality of life
- Personality style
The full battery of tests typically take 2-5 hours to complete and should be administered by a neuropsychologist with specialized training in interpreting such test results. Once the tests are completed, your individual scores are compared to the scores of healthy people from a similar demographic background in order to assess where you fall on the spectrum of expected functioning.
Often, these tests are thought of primarily in terms of their role in diagnosing neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, or assessment of the impact of brain injuries. However, neuropsychological testing can provide important information about cognitive function in anyone for whom such function is a potential area of concern or whose treatment may benefit from cognitive insight. Through in-depth analysis, the neuropsychologist can develop a complete picture of your areas of cognitive struggle and better understand how these struggles impact your daily functioning. However, it’s important to remember that the value of neuropsychological testing lies not only in the detection of weaknesses, but in the recognition of strengths, which can be used to fuel recovery.

The Role of Neuropsychological Testing in Addiction Treatment
Research consistently confirms that drug use can have both short and long-term effects on cognitive functioning. Alcohol-dependent people, for example, often experience impairment of executive function and working memory, as well as deleterious alterations in learning, speed of information processing, and problem-solving abilities. These phenomena may be related to changes in the prefrontal lobe areas brought on by chronic alcohol exposure. As noted by Drs. Paulo Cunha and Maria Alice Novaes in their study on alcohol-related cognitive dysfunction, “The alterations found in alcohol-dependent subjects seem to represent diffuse brain damage and although they improve substantially during withdrawal, some deficits remain even years after the last alcohol ingestion.” In advanced cases, cognitive deficits may progress to more serious conditions such as alcohol-induced persistent dementia or alcohol-induced persistent amnesic disorder. Alcohol, however, is not the only drug that can impair cognition; many drugs of abuse, including opiates, cocaine, and benzodiazepines, have the potential to produce cognitive dysfunction with chronic exposure.
When neuropsychological testing is used in the addiction treatment process, it can assess how and to what extent drug use has impacted your cognitive function. This allows clinicians to better understand your areas of weakness and your areas of strengths in order to devise an individualized treatment plan. As Laurence Miller of Fair Oaks Hospital writes, “Neuropsychological evaluation of substance abusers frequently proves useful for the evaluation of those aspects of cognitive functioning that may be relevant for optimal therapeutic management and treatment planning.” By gaining insight into your cognitive needs, clinicians can get a better understanding of your prognosis, ensure that you engage in modalities with proven success for your specific areas of struggle, and modulate therapies to harness your strengths. This allows for a high level of personalization and exposure to appropriate cognitive rehabilitation techniques, which “can accelerate and even revert cognitively altered conditions, contributing to the acquisition of new capabilities and treatment success.”
However, the cognitive dysfunction associated with addiction is not a one-way street. Rather, other types of cognitive challenges are often present in people struggling with addiction and contribute to addictive behaviors. Of particular concern are mental health disorders, which often co-occur with substance use disorders and are associated with a broad range of cognitive disturbances that can affect general functionality and deeply inform your experience of addiction itself. Neuropsychological testing by an expert neuropsychologist can tease out the sources of cognitive dysfunction in order to get a more nuanced understanding of your neurological, emotional, and behavioral state.
Although neuropsychological testing is not designed to diagnose mental health disorders in isolation, it can provide valuable information that facilitates the diagnostic process and more fully articulates the impact of mental health disorders on your life. Achieving diagnostic clarity, describing cognitive deficits caused by mental illness, and identifying appropriate interventions are essential to addressing the full scope of your needs and fortifying recovery. For example, engaging in therapies designed to improve cognitive dysfunction associated with mood disorders may help enhance impulse control, self-regulation, and strengthen your ability to learn, all of which are critical for the addiction recovery process.
The Value of Neuropsychological Testing in a Residential Setting
While neuropsychological testing is undeniably valuable in addiction treatment, the process of recovery presents unique challenges to testing. This is due to the impact of active drug use and withdrawal on your cognitive function and the potential for unreliable results if testing is not judiciously administered. The need for well-timed testing at appropriate points of the recovery process means that neuropsychological testing is best if administered in a residential treatment setting where withdrawal and recovery will be continuously monitored. In this environment, the timing of your testing can be well-chosen to ensure that the results will be meaningful considering your stage of treatment, eliminating the risk of skewed results from active drug use or the withdrawal process. This not only helps clinicians to gain clarity into your cognitive state, it also helps you to better understand your own abilities and challenges, giving you greater self-awareness and helping you set useful and realistic treatment goals.
The true value of neuropsychological testing, of course, isn’t simply in the results themselves. Rather, it is in the guidance those results give you in terms of moving forward. Because high-quality residential addiction treatment programs work from an interdisciplinary team approach, the evaluating neuropsychologist can directly liaise with your treatment team to flesh out diagnosis and design a treatment plan for immediate implementation. This means that you will have the opportunity to participate in appropriate treatment modalities from the very beginning, including those that incorporate relevant cognitive rehabilitation techniques designed to harness the potential of neuroplasticity and restore cognitive function. Additionally, your treatment team can ensure that you receive support for any areas of functional challenges your cognitive dysfunction presents. Throughout this process, the focus is not solely on your areas of weakness. Rather, you can come to recognize your own areas of cognitive strength and hone those strengths in order to propel yourself toward recovery.

DR. JAMES E. GROFF
JAMES E. GROFF, a popular and successful physician, of Doylestown,
was born near Sellersville, Bucks county, Pennsylvania, August 3, 1856.
He is a son of Isaac S. and Mary A. (Fellman) Groff, both of
Hans Jacob Groff emigrated from the Palatinate, Germany,
with his wife Verona, and arrived in Philadelphia in the ship
“Patience,” August 11, 1750, and located in Rockhill township, Bucks
county, on land surveyed to him in September, 1761.
In 1770 he purchased two tracts of 186 acres and forty-seven acres
respectively, near the present borough of Perkasie, adjoining the land of
Jacob Stout, with whose family the Groffs later intermarried.
He was a blacksmith by trade. He
died April 1, 1782, leaving a widow Verona, and children; Jacob, Peter,
John, Henry, and Mary, who married Isaac Souder.

the public schools of that neighborhood until fifteen years of age, and
then taught school for two years. He
then entered Ursinus College at Collegeville, and remained two and a half
years. In his sophomore year
the serious illness of his father necessitated his leaving school, and he
returned home and conducted his father’s business for two and a half
years, and expected to follow the business of a merchant for life, but,
his father selling out his business in the spring of 1877, James E. began
the study of medicine with Dr. A. J. Mathews, at Chalfont.
In the fall of the same year he entered Jefferson Medical College,
and graduated in 1880. He
first located for practice of his profession at Tradesville, Warrington

An essay on how Hitler dealt with trade unions, other politcal parties and also the SA after he came into power.
How did Hitler take total control of Germany after becoming chancellor?
In January 1933 Hitler became chancellor, now all he had to do was to take complete control of Germany, but he had a number of obstacles in the way, such as Hindenburg, communists, social democrats, the army (the wehrmacht.) As well as many others. For Hitler to become complete ruler of Germany he had to get a Majority in the Reichstag so he could pass his act, (the enabling act.) so he could do whatever he wanted.
Dealing with the communists:
For Hitler to deal with the communists he had to remove them completely, and lucky an opportunity came. The communists where dealt after the Reichstag was burned down, the fire was to believed to be started by a young Dutch communists called Van der Lubbe. It is widely thought that he might have been tricked into doing it as Van der Lubbe had metal problems. The response of the Nazi’s been to shoot, put in jail and beat up the communists and stick them into concentration camps. Hitler also banned the Communist party; this allowed him to get more seats in the Reichstag. After banning the Communists Hitler’s total vote had gone from 45% to 51%, he still needed to get another 15% to have a majority and then he can pass his act and have complete control.
The Nazi party got the support of the German Nationalists as well (as they had similar views) and now the Nazi party had a total of 60% in the Reichstag, Hitler just needed 7% more then he will have a majority. There were only two main parties left that if he did a friendship deal with he could get a majority, the social democrats and also the Catholic Centre Party. The Social’s would never do a deal with the Nazi’s, this just left the one party left, the Catholic Centre Party. Hitler luckily managed to sign a friendship deal with the Catholics; he said if they Catholics supported him he would leave them alone after they had pasted his act.
Passing the Enabling act/bill
On the 24th of March it was the date of the vote on to pass the enabling act or not, Hitler would require 66% of the vote to successfully get his act through the Reichstag. The vote was held in the Opera house due to the Reichstag having been burned down. Hitler filled it up with SA with guns to intimidate the parties against the Nazi’s, and would hiss and insult them as well. The act was passed through successfully from help with the Catholic Centre party and the German Nationalists. Now the act was passed Hitler could pass any new bill, act or law through the Reichstag without having a majority. | <urn:uuid:ebf70384-ac18-4da7-a6b8-a9422a2aa981> | CC-MAIN-2014-15 | http://socyberty.com/history/how-did-hitler-take-total-control-of-germany-after-becoming-chancellor/ | 2014-04-20T23:43:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-15/segments/1397609539337.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20140416005219-00399-ip-10-147-4-33.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.989944 | 594 |

Facebook is offering new security features to make it harder for cybercrooks to hijack your account. Registered devices, login notifications and other features make your account more secure. That is a good thing, but until Facebook makes it easier to keep your data private it doesn’t mean a whole lot. And I use very strong passwords, so the information that gets shared from my account is a much bigger concern than someone hacking into it.
The Zynga/Facebook marriage may soon be over. Apparently Facebooks new policies may actually be costing Zynga users, and Facebook supposedly tried strongarm tactics to force the Farmville creator to remain exclusive to Facebook in their last negotiations. Instead, there is talk of a Zynga live network – and a complete pullout from Facebook.
In a perhaps related story (or perhaps not) Capcom has announced they are preparing their first Facebook game.
“Gaming on social networks is poised to impact the traditional video game industry and is a presence that cannot be ignored,” Capcom President Haruhiro Tsujimoto said in an interview in Tokyo yesterday. “We have to make our move.”
Facebook as a game platform is growing, with more of the heavy hitters in gaming working Facebook into new releases in one way or another. In addition to Capcom, Electronic Arts and Blizzard have announced upcoming Facebook gaming presence. Facebook is working to become the internet, but they may become the gameworld without even trying. | <urn:uuid:bdf1a929-080d-4916-b95c-967f865f8d29> | CC-MAIN-2017-04 | http://lubbockonline.com/interact/blog-post/bert/2010-05-14/bye-bye-farmville-hello-streetfighter-plus-new-security | 2017-01-23T03:18:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-04/segments/1484560281746.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20170116095121-00012-ip-10-171-10-70.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.964722 | 298 |
Purchasing your beef from Cold Creek Ranch Beef is a simple process. We offer it beginning March 1st of every year. You have the option to purchase quarters, halves or whole animals. We offer steers and heifers. Steers will produce 480 pounds of beef and heifers are normally 440 pounds of beef. Payment is due by June 1st on your purchase.
When the animals are taken to the local processor in November, you will receive a call from them on how you want your beef to be cut and wrapped. YOU get to decide how YOU want YOUR beef. If you want 2 steaks per package and them to be 1 inch thick, you are in control. No more just getting what is on the shelf at the local grocery store.
After your beef has been processed to your specifications, you will be required to pay for the processing at that time. Average costs is $200 on a quarter, $350 on a half, and $700 on a whole animal. That’s roughly $6.10 per pound of meat. Can you get a steak you can cut with a butter knife from the store for $6.10? From Cold Creek Ranch Beef you CAN!
Are you concerned about being able to store your beef at home? We can walk you through what would be needed. Freezers come in a variety of sizes to fit your needs. If you have any questions, we are here to help.
Delivery of your beef from the processor to areas in our region are available at NO CHARGE to you.
“We bought a 1/2 and found it to be absolutely awesome! Better than anything we have purchased! We raised our own beef for years, Brian’s is better than what we raised, he has a technique and it works! We will be buying again in November and so will several of our friends!! Best beef and best value you will find.”Sandy Ruvolo | <urn:uuid:fdc69538-b959-451b-9e36-ad4b89b1589d> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://coldcreekranchbeef.com/ordering/ | 2023-09-24T12:43:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506646.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20230924123403-20230924153403-00371.warc.gz | en | 0.968967 | 399 |

We write in celebration of our visionary sister and comrade/comadre, Aishah Shahidah Simmons, black lesbian feminist, cultural worker, filmmaker, incest and rape survivor, and the creator of NO! The Rape Documentary (2006). This feature-length, internationally acclaimed, award-winning film, with Portuguese, French, and Spanish subtitles, a two-hour supplemental educational video, and an accompanying 100-page study guide (funded by the Ford Foundation and published in 2007), which includes national rape and sexual assault resources organized by state and a bibliographic treasure box of over 90 recommended readings – urges us to call rape out and end it. The latter she notes as a “non-negotiable necessity.”
We want to pause and acknowledge Simmons and this black feminist labor of love not only because she is a pioneer of the contemporary anti-violence movement, but because her work, which began in 1994, helps ground current moves to raise awareness about rape, sexual assault, and other forms of sexual and gender-based violence. More, Aishah Shahidah Simmons provides an opening to center and make present the continuum of too-often invisibilized feminist labors against rape, in which her work is deeply rooted and from which it emerges.
Recently, the #MeToo online movement has made space for women, some for the first time, to share their experiences of sexual harassment and violence. Initially, the hashtag was incorrectly deemed to originate with actress Alyssa Milano, who tweeted, “If you’ve been sexually harassed or assaulted write ‘me too’ as a reply to this tweet.” Milano’s tweet was a response to rape allegations against movie mogul Harvey Weinstein. However, #MeToo was in fact created a decade ago as “me too” (not an online campaign) by Tarana Burke, who is currently program director for Brooklyn-based Girls for Gender Equity. And though the current iteration of #MeToo exemplifies a significant historical social media moment, it began as a grassroots social movement, with the aim of empowering young women of color sexual assault survivors.
#MeToo, though initially focused on young women of color, seems in the current moment to have transcended race. This matters. It matters because women of color have been doing the work of “me too” for a very long time. And yet even proper attribution, though important, fails to offer adequate recognition of so many other women. In contemporary viral moments, we routinely fail to note the intricate layers, nuances, and intersections of these voices and works across several decades of anti-rape activism. It also matters that Milano is an Italian American Hollywood actress, best known for television shows like Who’s the Boss?, Melrose Place, and Charmed. It matters that she is an actress/activist who happens to have the ear not only of Hollywood but many Americans. Milano’s tweet calls rape culture back to consciousness in a very particular time in history, against a very famous white man – with very famous and mostly white survivors – and within the context of a “pussy grabbing” white nationalist hetero-patriarchal misogynist capitalist trans-antagonistic POTUS. The wide-ranging and fiery response to Milano’s tweet may very well be a covert way of saying #HimToo.
In short, Milano’s tweet likely caught on as it did not because critiques of rape culture are novel, but because hashtag activism makes anti-violence resistance accessible, easy to grasp, and contagious, and because who tweets about what, how we imagine the survivors, and who we visualize the perpetrator/s to be, matters. Still, online activism, with its tendency to strike quickly and then fade in response to moments such as this, is often ignorant of its historical precursors. Grounding viral moments in their historical, theoretical, and movement-based genealogies is critical, both to name the labor that made the moment possible and to ensure that discussions and actions continue beyond the Internet.
To be sure, online and hashtag activism may generate benefits, including providing discursive space. A great example is the Black Lives Matter network, which was first introduced to many of us as a hashtag. Notwithstanding BLM’s successes, some of the challenges of online and hashtag activism more broadly are that it erases herstories, movements, complexities, and laborers. As Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor argues, #BlackLivesMatter developed out of longer and continuing movements of and for Black liberation. So too do contemporary incarnations of the anti-rape movement.
#MeToo was not created in a vacuum. It is not a single story. And its focus is not limited to rich white cis men who victimize. The anti-rape movement is about the eradication of heteropatriarchal white supremacy writ large and its specific manifestations of sexual, gender, and racial violence. And if we look at the contributions of radical diverse women who have been fighting against rape culture for two centuries, we see the herstories of sexual violence across inter-racial, intra-racial, and intra-communal lines. It’s easy to critique white supremacy and white feminists for erasures and white men for rape. It’s more difficult to provide complex and winding history that forces us to broaden the map of violences and resistances, and engage intra-communally and historically.
It is not lost on us how the works of first-, second-, and third-wave black and of color feminists have been left out of the current discourse, or how Burke’s initial focus on young women of color and intra-racial rape in communities of color has been excised. Rape culture impacts all women. But what cannot be ignored is how the emphasis on “all women,” particularly in hashtag activism culture, tends to decenter black women and women of color, and how each have herstories of intersecting oppressions and violences that are overwhelmingly increased because of race, ethnicity, and gender reinforcing each other. Further, some women’s narratives of sexual violence have historically been disbelieved, and are still suspect now.
In fact, as Kimberlé Crenshaw argued in 1989, sex discrimination laws were put in place to protect white female sexuality/chastity (from black men), not to protect black women. Yet sexual violence was often the pretext for terrorizing black communities. She posits, “sexist expectations of chastity and racist assumptions of sexual promiscuity combined to create a distinct set of issues confronting black women.” That is, gender makes black women and girls susceptible to sex domination and violence, while blackness denies them state or local protection. Crenshaw notes that some courts went as far as to instruct juries that black women were not to be presumed chaste, leaving them to fend for themselves. Of course, the erasure of some survivors over others is nothing new. Similarly, the blotting out of black and of color anti-rape activists is not innocuous.
We understand anti-rape activism as the resistance to sexual coercion in daily practice and its institutionalized forms. Because rape, as Angela Y. Davis argued in 1978, is the social relations of capitalism and a capitalist interstate system infused with patriarchy and racism, its existence is historic, intentional, and pervasive. Historically, anti-rape activism is present in the contexts of state-sanctioned sexual, gender, and racial violence during colonial and imperial conquests and acts of war; within institutions such as slavery, marriage, prison, health care, immigration, and education; and in the daily acts of our socio-economic and political interpersonal relationships. Anti-rape activism is fueled by and exists alongside sexual violence, be it within survivors alone, or in collectivity with others who strategize against harm. The politicization of our contemporary anti-rape movement is grounded in the global histories of decolonization and Third World Liberation, anti-slavery and abolitionary struggles, and U.S. anti-war, Black Power, civil and labor rights, Indigenous sovereignty, and feminist movements.
The 1960s and 1970s are central to historic understanding of U.S. anti-rape activism, particularly in its institutional formations. The anti-violence work of these decades was deeply informed by Indigenous and Black women’s activism against white supremacist sexual coercion and exploitation that extends back into U.S. settler colonialism and slavery. These efforts developed hand in hand with women’s liberation movements toward greater economic, reproductive, sexual, and cultural autonomy. Anti-rape activism became entangled with other movements, including white middle-class women’s economic empowerment, in ways that made some pathways possible for these women while closing off opportunities for women of color and poor women.
Anti-rape activists for decades have worked, together and sometimes apart, to raise awareness of sexual violence and to strategize against it. Interventions have targeted “private” lives and political institutions, while at the same time challenging the divide between public and private. The Combahee River Collective, Flo Kennedy, June Jordan, This Bridge Called My Back, and many other anti-racist efforts pushed to account for the whiteness of the 1960s-1970s anti-rape movement, grounding the work in a more expansive understanding of slavery, settler colonialism, and imperialism that targets Black, Indigenous, Third World, women of color, and queer and gender non-conforming bodies. The movement was refigured again by the spread of neoliberalism and inclusion of anti-rape efforts inside institutions via Title IX and sexual harassment law, moves that reframed anti-rape as largely a middle-class white women’s concern. How, scholars and activists have asked, can the movement remain radical when funded by the State?
NO! The Rape Documentary (and its supplemental materials), as it explores the transnational operations, reality, and effects of rape, sexual assault, and other forms of violence committed against women and girls, and as it deploys first-person testimony, spirituality, activism, and the academic and cultural works of Black folk, is a continuation of historical work, particularly the intersectional lessons of Black feminists who laid the groundwork for anti-rape activism in Black and other communities. Simmons’s cinematically groundbreaking work is significant because it forces us to think about rape through BLACK women’s experiences and intra-communally. That is, it pushes us to call out and resist not only the Weinsteins in every industry but the Bill Cosbys and R. Kellys, too. It refuses invisibility, marginalization and/or tokenism and demands a social, political, cultural, ideological, structural, institutional, and interpersonal shift.
Earlier this year, Simmons gave a powerful presentation to students of all genders and sexualities at King-Drew Magnet High School in South Los Angeles, a predominantly Black and Latinx campus. Simmons’ presentation was followed by student-led workshops on sexual violence, harassment, and rape culture conducted by youth from the Women’s Leadership Project. Simmons’ statements on the connection between white supremacist hetero-normative violence and racialized sexual terrorism against girls of color resonated strongly with WLP students. Twelfth grade student Drea Wooden noted that normalized sexual violence against Black girls and girls of color is seldom discussed on most school campuses. Tenth grader Cheyanne Mclaren stressed that Simmons’ talk reaffirmed that “sexual violence is an important issue for communities of color because women of color are seen as lesser in value than white women and women of color aren’t getting the justice they deserve.”
We are celebrating Simmons because her work marks a pivotal moment in anti-rape activism. Because NO! “let’s you know what you need to know fast” (“Because We”), and has inspired new generations of womanists and feminists to resist and take action against a global regime of sexual violence. Because she reminds us that all oppressions are linked. Because she holds us accountable to how we respond to sexual violence. Because she charts an Afro-futurist path for collectively doing things differently and imagining and realizing communities free of rape, assault, and incest. Because this work was created in community for community. Because NO! centers and hopes to heal black and brown sacred flesh. Because Simmons has shown up for us and for survivors everywhere. Because when and where she enters, she brings all the anti-rape feminist and womanist foremothers, co-laborers, and survivors with her. Because Aishah Shahidah Simmons taught us that NO! is a complete sentence that not only explicitly names rape, which may sometimes be cause for erasure because language is political, but unequivocally refuses it and calls us and our communities to action. | <urn:uuid:e2ccd026-dc97-4da2-a6b2-f95821a8cd75> | CC-MAIN-2021-25 | https://thefeministwire.com/2017/10/anti-rape-activism-celebrating-aishah-shahidah-simmons/ | 2021-06-21T23:20:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-25/segments/1623488504838.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20210621212241-20210622002241-00583.warc.gz | en | 0.948962 | 2,657 |

The theft of intellectual property is not just a modern phenomenon. However, the digital age had given the problem of plagiarism a new dimension.
In a matter of seconds, you can find information on any subject on the internet. Such information makes it tempting for writers to just copy and paste text from sources they find on search engines such as Google or Yahoo. Particularly websites like Wikipedia include a great deal of information that is easily attainable to anyone.
Plagiarizing does not necessarily result from intention, but often from ignorance. For this reason, it is particularly important to point out correct citation methods and to explain the consequences of plagiarism. | <urn:uuid:6b98b687-3a91-4315-ae76-a68fe46bcaaf> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.plagscan.com/en/about-plagiarism?log=out | 2020-07-16T17:15:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657172545.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20200716153247-20200716183247-00049.warc.gz | en | 0.933946 | 130 |

. Convenient class schedules and online course offerings allow you to obtain a quality education without giving up your quality of life.
The University of Idaho has a 118-year legacy of discovery, educating, serving and leading. The university began an academic partnership with North Idaho College and a physical presence on campus in the NIC Administrative Building in 1985. In 1989, to accommodate growth, the university provided funds to expand Molstead Library and added six classrooms and administrative space for University of Idaho programs. Expansion continued, and in 2001, the university and city entered into an agreement that provided space for the University of Idaho in the Harbor Center. The university officially moved into the Harbor Center in July 2002. As partnerships with other institutions have increased, the Harbor Center now provides space not only to the University of Idaho but also to Lewis-Clark State College, Idaho State University and Boise State University. The Coeur d'Alene Waste Treatment laboratory is also housed in the building.

Summer 2018 is shaping up
Next year, Gallagher returns to Manchester for a show at Emirates Old Trafford LCC Cricket Ground (August 18 2018). It’s one of four huge dates confirmed for next summer, alongside shows at Dublin’s Malahide Castle, Belfast’s Ormeau Park and London Finsbury Park.
- Liam Gallagher’s ‘As You Were’ features in NME’s Albums of the Year 2017 – see the full list here
A full support line-up for the Old Trafford show will be announced in the coming months. Revealing who he wants to support him at London Finsbury Park, Gallagher said that he wanted a touch of grime. “It can’t all be 90s stuff, man,” said Liam. “We’ve got to mix it up a bit. I’d like to get Skepta playing, have something a bit different.”
After refreshing ticket sites in the early hours, Liam fans initially experienced frustration when they appeared to be kicked off the payment page. Taking to Twitter, several fans vented about their tech nightmare.
However, Ticketmaster posted online saying it continued to have “plenty of availability” for the show, pointing Gallagher fans to their on-sale page.
Persistence paid off, and fans are overjoyed to finally get their hands on Liam tickets.
Bring on next summer. Who needs Glastonbury?

BringCom and Djibouti Partnership to Revitalize Djibouti Teleport
(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) STERLING, VA and DJIBOUTI -- (Marketwire) -- 02/11/13 --
BringCom Inc., a leader in supplying innovative communications technologies to Africa, and local Djibouti partners have established a new private company, Djibouti Teleport SARL, to revitalize and manage the daily operations of the Djibouti Teleport facility.
Under the agreement, BringCom becomes the managing partner of Djibouti Teleport. In addition, the partners agreed to upgrade the Djibouti Teleport with new buildings, backup power, security hardware and an iDirect hub to create a first-class teleport facility serving the African region. Djibouti Teleport will also provide competitive international connectivity through five large-capacity undersea cable systems connected to the facility. BringCom has assigned trained teleport technicians to assist the experienced Djibouti Teleport staff in providing round-the-clock teleport services.
"This agreement is a significant extension of BringCom's capabilities to serve the requirements of customers in the Middle East and Africa," said Fabrice Langreney, President and CEO of BringCom. "We are very fortunate to work with an extremely forward-looking group of Djiboutian shareholders. This relationship will allow us to revitalize the Djibouti Teleport in a way that makes it well-suited to a great number of potential users."
Djibouti Teleport currently provides Apstar 7 Ku-band connectivity with a 7.3 meter antenna and C-band connectivity with a 16 meter antenna. Both antennas have been refurbished and upgraded with new electronics. Additional antennas and equipment are currently being installed and should be available shortly. BringCom and Djibouti Teleport will continue to add technical functionality and personnel resources to the teleport as necessary to support the requirements of their Djiboutian, African and international commercial and government customers.
The Djibouti Teleport is well suited to support terrestrial, aeronautical and maritime satellite applications owing to its unique geographical location, multiple satellite look angles and international connectivity to multiple fiber optic systems, including SEMEWE3, EIG, SEACOM, and EASSY.
BringCom is a leading telecommunications services provider offering fiber, satellite and microwave services to enterprise and government customers in the United States, Caribbean, Africa and the Middle East. It delivers communication solutions to and from some of the world's most challenging locations while providing state-of-the-art communications links for its customers. BringCom owns and is headquartered at a teleport in Sterling, VA, USA, and manages Djibouti Teleport through a joint venture with Djibouti Telecom. Its international operational knowledge, coupled with extensive local partnerships in the Africa and Middle Eastern regions, uniquely position BringCom to deliver reliable communications services at competitive rates.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – An international consortium of scientists has identified multiple genes that are linked to systemic lupus erythematosus, a devastating autoimmune disease that affects between 1 million and 2 million Americans. Reporting in Nature Genetics, the scientists also confirmed earlier findings linking lupus to several other genes – highlighting the role that genetics plays in the disease.
“These findings underscore that numerous genes, which are often immune-function related, contribute to the risk of developing lupus,” said Carl D. Langefeld, Ph.D., senior author from Wake Forest University School of Medicine and co-director of the International Consortium for Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Genetics (www.SLEGEN.org).
“These results suggest biologic pathways that help us understand the condition better and suggest additional genetic and non-genetic triggers,” said Langefeld. “In addition, they help delineate the genetic distinctions between rheumatoid arthritis, lupus and other autoimmune diseases, which could lead to earlier, more accurate diagnoses.”
Systemic lupus can involve the joints, kidneys, heart, lungs, brain and blood. The disease occurs in about 31 out of every 100,000 people and affects women nine times more frequently than men. Scientists believe that lupus is caused by genetic variants that interact with each other and the environment.
The current study was made possible because of advances in technology that allow researchers to take a more systematic approach to looking at the entire genome. It was supported by the Alliance for Lupus Research and the National Institutes of Health.
The researchers studied the DNA of 720 women of European descent with lupus and 2,337 women without lupus. They scanned the entire genome for more than 317,000 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), which are locations on chromosomes where a single unit of DNA, or genetic material, may vary from one person to the next. The goal was to identify SNPs linked to lupus. They confirmed these results in another independent set of 1,846 women with lupus and 1,825 women without lupus.
The scientists found evidence of an association with multiple SNPs in three genes: ITGAM, KIAA1542 and PXK, and also at SNP rs10798269, which is not within any known gene. ITGAM is important for both the adherence of immune cells and for cleaning up pathogens. KIAA1542 is important for translating the DNA code into proteins. PXK encodes a molecule that transmits signals and controls complex processes in cells. These scientists also found association in genes previously associated with lupus and other autoimmune diseases.
The scientists are now focusing their attention on specific pathways and genes identified in this study, trying to dissect the precise molecular mechanisms by which these genes contribute to the risk for lupus. Genetic factors likely predict specific complications or patterns of complications. If so, it might be possible to intervene earlier in the process to delay or prevent their onset.
“This initial, important discovery will prove invaluable to all those affected by lupus,” said Barbara Boyts, president of the Alliance for Lupus Research, which supported the study and continues to support SLEGEN’s efforts to uncover genetic information about lupus. “We are hopeful that this information will lead to new and better treatment possibilities and, eventually, a cure for lupus.”
“Lupus is a decimating illness,” said John Harley, M.D., Ph.D., lead author and SLEGEN director, from the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation. “As researchers, our goal is to reduce the burden of suffering caused by this disease. These findings have opened many new doors, and we’re excited to investigate what’s inside each of them.”
Other Wake Forest researchers involved in the project were Adrienne H. Williams, M.A., Miranda C. Marion, M.A., Wei Wang, M.S., Jasmin Divers, Ph.D., Julie T. Ziegler, M.A., Matt L. Stiegert, M.S., and Paula S. Ramos, Ph.D.

Armed with Intelligence regarding corruption within Starfleet, and the traitor Admiral Thac under our arrest, the USS Pandora must travel back through the treacherous Inconnu Expanse and make it to Earth. Complicating the journey is a mysterious sub-space message that is broadcast throughout the Expanse:
"Stop the Pandora!"
A target is painted directly upon the ship and the message is clear - the Pandora is alone and vulnerable, and cannot be allowed to return to Federation territory. From here the gauntlet is thrown. All of the Pandora's enemies and friends from her past missions will convene upon the Luna Class vessel - to either help or hinder her path to safety. Those with a grudge to settle will come looking for blood - those who owe the Pandora for their assistance will try to help. And amongst all of this chaos, a revolution grows. The people of the Expanse start to rally against the Alrakis Pact, and divisions start to form within their alliances - with the Pandora acting as the lightning rod for one hell of a storm.

It was my understanding that Naomi Campbell’s snatch didn’t get out of bed for anything less than the $10,000 dick of a billionaire, but it appears that even the clickety-clackiest of gold digging can’t resist the siren sound of Michael Fassbender’s trouser kraken. According to The Sun (via The Daily Mail) Naomi has downgraded in the dollar department but upgraded in the dick department (“Where might I find this wonderful department store you speak of?” – MK) because she might be hooking up with The Hammaconda’s huskier German cousin, Das Assbender, after the two were caught “canoodling” (not my words, never my words):
A showbiz insider told the paper that the pair were in a cordoned-off area within the members area of the restaurant which gave them plenty of privacy but the pair didn’t mind being seen together and were being openly affectionate towards one another.
“At one point they ever started snogging” the source reveals.
First canoodling, then snogging?? Let me guess what happened next: those two randy slappers shagged in the toilets like horny corgis while the Queen waved to them from Buckingham Palace.
Normally I’d advise anyone thinking of sticking their fuck parts in Naomi to reconsider, because there’s no bitch like a crazy bitch and Naomi wrote the book on crazy bitching at an expert level. But I think Fassbender can handle himself. Anytime she goes to throw a phone at him, he can use that giant dick of his like a cricket bat and swat them away, and if his dick ever wants a break from the crazy it could always put on a Vivienne Westwood heel and scare her ass away for a bit. | <urn:uuid:e322fc54-1174-4df4-8260-2fda75fd9887> | CC-MAIN-2022-49 | https://dlisted.com/2014/04/06/naomi-campbell-might-be-bumping-her-bitchy-bits-against-michael-fassbender/ | 2022-12-09T02:00:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-49/segments/1669446711376.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20221209011720-20221209041720-00209.warc.gz | en | 0.968224 | 388 |

Customer statement of account
We have two baan system:
1)old baan - baan iv a1 - company 888 AND
2)new baan - baan iv c1
i've transfered company 888 from old baan to new baan.
Everything works fine, But, i have problem in 'printing statement of account' (tfacr3440m000).
When i print statement of account for each customer (in new baan) , the -ve amount is printed out in debit column. This happens only for few customers.
But, when i print this same statement in old baan, there is no error, which means, the -ve amount is printed in credit column.
I don't know where is the problem and i've been working with this for past two weeks, but couldn't get any solution. Please do guide me..

The neighboring countries of Fiji are the islands of New Caledonia to the South, Vanuatu, to the West, Tonga to the East, and Tuvalu to the North. The island of Fiji is made up of 332 islands of which 110 are permanently inhabited.
This island was a British colony up to about the year 1970. In the preceding century, the Island had been occupied by British colonialists. Getting around this island nation for visitors is often by automobiles. There are a number of cheap car hire firms that operate within this island. The car rental market is one of the greatest beneficiaries of the booming Fiji tourism industry.
The island of Fiji in figures is presented below:

How? you might ask. That kitchen is frightening, the Jacuzzi tub is ancient, and the dropped ceiling is as ugly as homemade sin.
Well, those are valid concerns. And we'll address those cosmetic issues soon enough, so be patient! Now sit down and listen for once in your life!
Okay, oh wise one. Have you lost weight?
That's better. And yes, I've lost half a pound. So glad you noticed! Anyway, back to my original point. Our house is an upgrade from our last two places because of the space. The abode in Columbus was 1050 squarefeet and had two closets. The rental in KCMO, 1700 sqft or so, but no attic, 2 small bedroom closets, and a nasty basement. And for some reason, the dining room was the largest in the house. You could fit a grand piano, a large table with six chairs, two sideboards, a baby swing, and an enormous train table in that room. Not exactly the right layout for us.
The Roeland Park cottage, however, has a closet in each bedroom (exotic idea, right?), a living room for the piano, a family room for the TV, and two full bathrooms.
With a nasty Jacuzzi tub.
Shut up or else I'm never making you pecan pie again. So where was I? Oh yeah, this house has better storage. Thank goodness.
What does it not have? A playroom.
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek! How are you living like that with three children? I bet you don't even drive a Toyota SUV. I'm calling CPS immediately. Every house requires a playroom. And all families should drive gas guzzling Japanese limousines. How do I know this? That permed blond kid in the commercial told me so.
Hold the phone, Ralph. I didn't grow up with a playroom. Lots of homes don't have one. And I bet the kids are all right. Better than all right. Maybe they're even fantastic. As for the Toyota, Just Call Me Angel of the Morning!
So, back to what I was saying, in order to deal with this lack of dedicated playspace, we have to be vigilant about keeping the toys down to a dull roar. Quarterly trips to charity. Brutal honesty about whether we should keep that little stuffed kitty cat that your Aunt Tulip gave you when you were 6 months old (I'm talking to YOU, Ralph--your kids won't miss your old toys).
That's what we did over the weekend.
And here are the results.
We still have a small toy chest with a few larger toys, a dollhouse, a train table, and one basket of blocks, but this is what remains of the toys in the family room. No, it's not minimalism. And yet it sure ain't way too much stuff, either.
Yes, that is fake wood paneling you see. As well as our test wall for the paint we're trying out (we decided to paint Andrew's room that color instead. Still working on an acceptable color for the family cave).
Here's a funky little desk I picked up for the girls at the antique market held monthly in Westbottoms.
::snorts:: Is that carpet I see, too?
Oh, put a sock in it, Ralph.

GIRLS BASKETBALL: Weymouth advanced to face Braintree in the final of the Abigail Adams Classic with a 48-38 win Tuesday over Quincy. Sisters Nicole and Samantha Daukas played well for the Wildcats while junior Kiley McDonald had 22 points and 16 rebounds for Quincy.
The Weymouth High School girls basketball team played swarming defense Tuesday night, holding Quincy to 17 first-half points en route to a 48-38 win in the opening round of the Abigail Adams Classic.
Weymouth (2-2) will play Braintree (3-0) in today’s 7 p.m. final. Braintree knocked off North Quincy, 56-41, in Tuesday’s other semifinal.
Quincy (4-1) and North Quincy (0-4) will square off in today’s 5 p.m. consolation game.
Weymouth received balanced scoring. Nicole Daukas led the Wildcats with 12 points, junior Samantha Daukas added 10, and senior Meaghan Harrington chipped in 9.
“Our offense and our defense is really starting to click,” Weymouth coach Christy Hay said. “We did a nice job tonight. The Daukas sisters had great games.”
Weymouth also produced a team effort on the boards. Senior Alexis Hankerson led the way with 14 rebounds, and Harrington, Samantha Daukas and Colleen McLaughlin each had eight.
The Wildcats held the Presidents to just 16 combined points in the second and third quarters.
“We switched to man-to-man,” Hay said. “We pressured them and we boxed out well.”
As stout as Weymouth’s defense was, Quincy could not convert when it did have open shots.
“We are normally a very good shooting team,” Quincy coach Jeff Bretsch said. “We did get some quality looks and good opportunities. We just couldn’t get the ball to go in the hole.”
Quincy junior Kiley McDonald was a star for the Presidents, scoring 22 points and pulling down 16 rebounds, both game-highs.
“She kept us alive tonight,” said Bretsch. “She refused to give up on the boards and she kept getting rebounds. She gave us a lot of second chances.”
Junior Caitlyn Lowry (12 rebounds) also played well for the Presidents.
Today’s Quincy-North Quincy consolation game will be a rematch of both teams’ season opener – a 43-41 Quincy victory.
“When we play North, you never know what is going to happen,” Bretsch said. “It is always an adventure; there is a different complexion to each game.”
As for Weymouth, the Wildcats will face Bay State Conference foe Braintree.
“We are going to see them three times this season,” Hay said. “They are a tough Bay State League team with some good shooters. We need to play tough defense once again.”

QUEENSLAND Rail has criticised an irresponsible motorist after a near miss in Toowoomba yesterday morning when a four-wheel-drive ignored level crossing protection and narrowly avoided a collision with a freight train.
Queensland Rail Acting Chief Executive Officer Jim Benstead said motorists needed to pay greater attention at level crossings and stop risking their lives, and the lives of customers and train crew, just to save a few minutes.
"Despite the potentially deadly consequences, motorists continue to drive through or around boom gates, ignore flashing lights or signs, and pedestrians continue to risk their lives crossing tracks in front of trains," Mr Benstead said.
"There have been a series of near misses in the south-west this year, including a serious collision at Dalby - we're fed up with motorists in the region who continue to dice with death, despite the warnings.
"The latest incident occurred at the North Street level crossing in Toowoomba - a crossing which is protected by signage and flashing lights.
"While a freight train was just seconds away, the motorist ignored the flashing lights and the red traffic signal and drove straight through the level crossing in front of the train, avoiding a collision by less than 20 metres.
"The train was able to come to a halt in time, and thankfully no one was injured - however the difference between a near miss and a fatality can be a split second.
"I shudder to think about what may have happened if the timing had been different, as the consequences of a coal train colliding with a motor vehicle could easily have ended in tragedy.
"This level crossing has flashing lights and traffic lights and reports from the site indicate they were in operation at the time of the incident.
"We don't know why people in the south-west continue to risk their lives by ignoring boom gates, flashing lights or signage, just to save a couple of minutes," Mr Benstead said.
Earlier on Thursday morning, level crossing protection at a crossing on the Warrego Highway, between Miles and Drillham, was left damaged in a suspected truck collision.
A Queensland Rail signalling electrician worked on-site to repair the infrastructure for nearly five hours.
"I am pleading with motorists to obey the law, it should not take a fatality in the region for the message to get through.
"There is no excuse for trying to beat a train - the train can't swerve or avoid motorists so if there's a collision, the car, truck or pedestrian will come off second best.
The difference between a near miss and a fatality can be a split second.
"Every crossing on the Queensland Rail network has some form of protection, but this motorist in Toowoomba still decided to run the gauntlet."
Mr Benstead said road users needed to be aware that one mistake around a level crossing could be fatal.
The details of the incident have been passed on to police who are investigating. | <urn:uuid:9da3b877-1968-4b06-83ca-3a3be6207cf0> | CC-MAIN-2016-36 | http://www.thechronicle.com.au/news/near-miss-occurs-train-crossing/1351612/ | 2016-08-31T21:52:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-36/segments/1471982939756.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20160823200859-00288-ip-10-153-172-175.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.971049 | 610 |
A great-grandmother who ran a post office from her own home in Slinfold throughout the 1980s died last month at the age of 92.
Lois White, who received a British Empire Medal for services to the community, including 50 years with the post office, died in Horsham Hospital on July 11.
Born on July 21 1922, Lois lived all her life in Slinfold.
Her family said Lois went to work as a post office clerk in Slinfold Post Office aged 17, and continued working there until 1979, 40 years later, when the post office closed.
Concerned about the closure and that elderly residents in particular would not have access to a post office, Lois decided to relocate the office within her home.
In doing so she became the village post mistress until failing eyesight necessitated her retirement ten years later, after 50 years with the post office.
She received a BEM in the Queen’s New Years Honours List in 1985, and was presented with her medal by the Duchess of Norfolk at Arundel Castle in May 1985.
Lois married Stan on May 16 1943. They had one son, Roger, in 1945.
Her family said she spent many happy years before, during and after the Second World War at her parents’ home of Town House Farm, Slinfold.
She recalled her father sleeping in the stables during the war, to release the horses should the stables become engulfed by flames.
Lois, Stan and Roger moved to Lyons Road, Slinfold in 1948.
Through her work in the post office, Lois became a well known figure in the village and became a centre of information for both residents and visitors to Slinfold, her family said.
Such information was valuable to a German family trying to trace a plane that crashed near Slinfold, as Lois was able to supply an approximate position where their relatives’ plane crashed.
Lois was so dedicated to her work that sometimes, while finalising the weekly accounts, she would stay up into the night looking for just a few pence.
Aside from her passions for the post office and Slinfold, she was a keen gardener and knitter. For many years she would exhibit her vegetables, flowers and knitted items in the annual Slinfold Fete, winning many prizes.
Lois and Stan also enjoyed dancing and attended regular functions over many years. Her main joy was her family.
She leaves Stan, her husband of 72 years, her son and daughter-in-law, three grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.

Taichung Jazz Festival 台中爵士音樂節 2019
It’s October and it’s time for the annual Taichung Jazz Festival. This is the highlight of the local culture calender and something that I never miss. The festival started last Friday 11th, and will continue till next Sunday 20th. That’s ten full days packed with jazz performances from around the world.
踏入十月份，又是台中爵士音樂節的日子。我已經是第四年來這個音樂節，每年的氣氛都超棒！ 今年也不例外。 下午時，我在家預備一點炒米粉，然後帶著幾包零食，大概6時左右到達現場。當時已經人山人海 。大會說開幕當天有18萬人次，我猜今晚也可能有10萬人左右。我一直走到舞台前，幸好找到一個空位剛夠放下我的野餐墊。 之後朋友到達，帶備生果和啤酒，野餐可以開始了。
今晚有兩場演出，第一個表演團隊來自德國。第二位來自美國， 而且在1997年還得過格林美大獎最佳爵士樂器獨奏提名。 來頭不小喔！ 大師級即是大師級，他的演出實在太精彩，帶動了整個場的氣氛， 觀眾還站起來跟著音樂在拍手。 實在太開心了！
COMING TO THE TAICHUNG JAZZ FESTIVAL AGAIN
This is my fourth year straight coming to the festival and as usual the atmosphere is brilliant. I arrived around 6pm and it was already full of people who had come out to enjoy the beautiful autumn evening. Most people plonk themselves down the first space they find at the back of the venue. My experience tells me that most people don’t go all the way up to the front because they think it’s packed with people. Well, let me tell you, they’re wrong. I walked all the way up towards the stage, and there it was. A space just big enough for my picnic mat. Now I had front row seats to the jazz festival. Look at all the people behind me and there’s a lot more that’s not in the camera. The organisers said there were 18 thousand attendance on the first day of opening. So my guesstimate there must be at least around 9 or 10 thousand people here.
I didn’t have time to buy any food or drink for my picnic today, so quickly rustled up some fried noodles in the afternoon. I found a few packet of snacks at the back of the cupboard which has been there for some time. This is the best ocassion to finish them off as all food taste good when the atmosphere is right. Luckily when my friends came, they bought more snacks and some beer.
TOP NOTCH PERFORMANCES
There were two one hour performances tonight. One quartet came from Germany and the other from the State. I know next to nothing about jazz so the festival is a great way for me to explore new genres. Not to mention the festival always has a fantastic vibe every year.
The second quartet, was led by a saxophonist called Antonio Hart who had a Grammy nomination in 1997 for “Best Jazz Instrumental Solo”. Boy! Was he good!!! A novice might make a rookie mistake about what’s good jazz or not, but when you have a musician who can lift the atmosphere and get everyone on their feet, you know he’s definitely good. I’ve added a little clip of his performance so you can take a look yourself.
Luckily, there’s still seven more days performance till the festival closes next Sunday. This is a great time of the year to spend an evening chillaxing outdoors under the autumn night, I’m pretty sure I will be going to a few more nights.

This article was first published by AirCargo Magazine.
The Australian Productivity Commission (PC) website describes its main role as:
“Providing independent research and advice to government on economic, social and environmental issues affecting the welfare of Australians”
The PC undertakes these tasks both as requested by government or according to its annual work program. The PC has had a long history of being involved in reviews and reports on issues affecting the trade and transport industry among its other work. Some of those reviews and reports affecting industry have included:
- a report on the collection models for GST on low value imported goods
- the review of the impact of Australia’s Free Trade Agreements
- the review of the efficiency of Anti-Dumping regulation
- inquiries into whether safeguard measures should be imposed on imports of processed fruit and tomato products
The traditional process is for the inquiry or review to be announced, for submissions to be taken while the PC undertakes its work, then the issue of a draft report followed by further submissions and public hearings leading to a final report being delivered to government. There is no obligation on government to act on the recommendations of the PC which are generally based on economic concepts and detailed review, whereas government decisions will take into account wider considerations. By way of example, the PC recommended the introduction of an economic “bounded national interest” test which would allow for arguments that even where there was dumping causing injury that it should be allowed to continue without the imposition of dumping duties on the basis that it was in the national interest for that to happen, due to the presence of cheaper goods for manufacturing or consumption, where that benefit outweighs any damage to the local industry. Unfortunately, that recommendation was not accepted by government. Similarly, the PC has often recommended the removal of all customs duties at import as they distort the market and cost more to implement and administer than the amount they contribute to government revenues or economic well-being.
I have been involved in a number of PC inquiries including making written submissions and appearing before the PC during hearings to elaborate on submissions and to ask questions raised by the PC. It is an interesting jurisdiction with a combination of financial, economic, legal and public policy issues being considered.
On 6 February 2019, the PC released its draft report on the Economic Regulation of Airports which followed an earlier report of the same title in 2012. Obviously, the regulation of airports, along with other trade infrastructure such as ports, roads and railways is an important element in an efficient supply chain and optimal allocation of resources. There is a special level of interest in trade infrastructure as its costs are significant, meaning that ownership and operation only resides in a few parties which requires a careful approach to competition and regulation. As the PC points out in its draft report, economic regulation of airports includes the general provisions of competition and consumer law and airport-specific light-handed regulations that were introduced following the privatisation of airports in the late 1990s.
In the overview section of the draft report the PC summarises the issues around airports as follows.
“Australia’s airports are critical infrastructure and their performance depends on, among other things, high‑quality management and a regulatory regime that promotes efficient operations and timely investment, and facilitates commercial negotiation between airport operators and users of airport services.””
In this way, the comments also reflect the types of concerns around the operations of Australian ports and the stevedores operating at those ports which is firmly under attention by the ACCC and state governments.
The draft report was awaited with real interest. Nearly everyone who uses Australia’s airports and their services has a view on their operations and many of those views are not exactly complimentary. However, in general terms, the PC has formed the preliminary review that most of the regulation of the operations by the airports and the operations themselves were in order.
Some of the findings in the draft report were as follows:
- Existing airport regulation benefits the community and remains fit for purpose.
- Despite the preceding finding, airport operators should not remain complacent as further scrutiny on some aspects need further review and tailored reforms would be needed for specific areas of concern.
- The four major airports have market power in services provided to airports and charges for international services in Brisbane and Sydney are high compared to overseas airport charges.
- Airports could exercise their market power in landside access services to encourage people to use airport-owned car parks but there is insufficient evidence to determine if that is the case, more data on the issues is required.
- While, on balance, commercial negotiations between airports and airlines give little cause for concern, some agreements contain clauses restraining the airlines access to regulatory remedies for the exercise of market power and clauses that restrict airports abilities to offer incentives to other airlines. Those clauses are anti-competitive and should be removed.
- Car parking charges at airports are not caused by the exercise of market power by airports but reflect consumer demand.
- The Sydney airport curfew restricts noise for locals but does reduce the airport efficiency. The PC is seeking other options that could meet noise objectives at a lower cost.
- Government funding of airport infrastructure investment should be subject to rigorous published assessment. There is also scope to improve the financial management of airport assets at some regional airports.
- The “last resort” arbitration proposed by a number of parties to resolve disputes was a “bad idea”, may not be an appropriate way to resolve disputes and could adversely impact on a range of airport users.
- That airports should provide to the ACCC each year, more detailed information on use of the airport for passenger and other services.
- Within 12 months the ACCC should provide advice on an updated set of quality service indicators in consultation with affected parties. Those updated indicators should then be legislated.
Some of these preliminary findings have caused surprise and attracted criticism. Graeme Samuel, the former head of the ACCC and now an advocate for the airlines expressed reservations suggesting that the PC may not have undertaken direct investigations on the issues and had “ignored” evidence from a number of affected parties. However, at the same time, Infrastructure Australia supported the draft paper suggesting that the existing regime was working to support long-term investment and that disruptions would jeopardise the investment.
The PC has been at pains to point out that it is limited by the evidence of its own investigations and evidence which is provided to it. This places a premium on affected parties making their views known and providing additional evidence whether before proposed hearings in March or in writing.
The PC has requested written submissions by 25 March 2019, and once the final report is completed it will be submitted to the Australian Government in June 2019. Mind you, the political identity of that government and its response is far from certain. If nothing else, comments need to be made lest they not be included in the final assessment. | <urn:uuid:10a5ce88-e1c4-4e40-8b8f-74cce08932ec> | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | https://www.rigbycooke.com.au/the-productivity-commission-weighs-in-on-regulation-of-australian-airports/ | 2021-09-27T10:59:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-39/segments/1631780058415.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20210927090448-20210927120448-00023.warc.gz | en | 0.970745 | 1,400 |

GMA anchor Lara Spencer posts photo hugging Donald Trump
NEW YORK (AP) — An Instagram photo of ABC News' "Good Morning America" co-anchor Lara Spencer hugging presidential hopeful Donald Trump is drawing a mix of responses on social media and in real life.
In the photo posted Tuesday, Spencer has one arm around Trump's shoulder and the other across his midsection. Trump's hand is on her waist. They are both smiling.Spencer's message that initially accompanied the photo: "Can't beat having the REAL DonaldJTrump on," with a smiley face.
The photo, snapped Tuesday morning on the "GMA" set, triggered comments on Instagram that ranged from support for Spencer and Trump to attacks on her professionalism. After a number of critical comments were posted, Spencer clarified in the Instagram post that she was not seated in his lap, as it appeared to some observers, but "standing next to Donald Trump. Said a quick hello and welcomed him to the GMA studio for first time since he announced his candidacy."
An ABC News representative had no comment on the propriety of the photo. Trump was interviewed by "Good Morning America" anchor George Stephanopoulos on Tuesday; the ABC representative said Spencer, who appeared in a Donald Trump costume on Friday's show, did not appear on-air with the candidate on Tuesday.
Aly Colon, Knight Professor of Media Ethics at Washington and Lee University, said the photo and its display online "gives the impression that these people are close to each other in some way. How close? I don't know. But it puts her in a position where people might question whether as a journalist she is representing the public or Donald Trump."
"If they want to maintain credibility, it's important for journalists to keep a certain distance from people they cover," said Colon.
Trump, who has spent more than 30 years in the media spotlight, has an unusual relationship with the press that was on display when he released his latest book on Tuesday. During a press conference, Trump applauded one reporter for asking what he deemed her best-ever question, while another reporter volunteered a rave review of the book. Later, as he was signing copies for fans, Trump repeatedly pointed reporters' attention to fans he hoped they'd capture.
Trump also has, in the past, gone on the attack with journalists, including Fox News' Megyn Kelly, who he strongly criticized after the first Republican Debate, which she moderated.
Colon's advice for how a journalist maintains the public's confidence: "Adopt more of a hands-off policy." | <urn:uuid:d09a4c60-8195-4869-9612-b49fd2ce6291> | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | https://www.statesmanjournal.com/story/news/politics/2015/11/04/gma-anchor-lara-spencer-posts-photo-hugging-donald-trump/75154102/ | 2020-02-22T11:12:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875145657.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20200222085018-20200222115018-00012.warc.gz | en | 0.975457 | 528 |

Those of us who rely on hosted (the current buzz word is “in the cloud“) data and software solutions, connectivity is a must. When we’re a way from a wi-fi hotspot or otherwise unable to get online, these hosted services have little to no value.
Now take this line of thinking one step further to the mobile platform. The mobile computing revolution is just starting to take off and for it to be valuable, mobile access to data is a must-have. This is why it’s welcome news for web workers that Google Gears is now available for some mobile handsets.
Initially only available for Internet Explorer on Windows Mobile, Google Gears for Mobile will give you access to Gears-enabled Web services when you’re out of reach of a cell phone signal. Whether you’re in an area with spotty cell coverage or on a plane, Google Gears will allow you to access to your favorite online services once they are Gears-enabled.
Zoho and Buxfer are highlighted on Google’s Mobile blog as being the initial services known to harness the power of Google Gears for mobile. For web workers, this gives Zoho a new facet of usefulness as we can use Zoho Writer on the go with or without connectivity to the mobile web.
While Zoho is a great example of the utility of Google Gears for mobile, I’ll be more excited about Gears when it is integrated into more web services and more web platforms. On the web in general, Google Gears is only found as an option on only a handful of sites. For example, in the Google suite of applications, only Google Reader has offline access.
Additionally, Google Gears is only available for Windows Mobile. This will be a much more exciting offering when it is available for other platforms including Symbian, BlackBerry, and iPhone.
For the web worker, offline mobile access would be fantastic on a number of applications including email, billing/invoicing information, contact information, scheduling, and news reading. We here at Web Worker Daily will keep an eye on this space and let you know when developments occur! | <urn:uuid:2d682278-cdb9-410f-92d5-bc1622f24484> | CC-MAIN-2015-22 | https://gigaom.com/2008/03/04/mobile-apps-get-a-shot-in-the-arm-with-google-gears-for-mobile/ | 2015-05-26T14:29:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-22/segments/1432207928864.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20150521113208-00012-ip-10-180-206-219.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.905129 | 437 |
The “Author” is the person primarily responsible for drafting the policy. The author will need to start filling in the Policy Worksheet – request form. Listed below are the instructions by line number.
- Author fills in proposed title.
- Name of person moving it forward to the proponent Vice Chancellor (usually Author).
- Author checks the box as to whether this is a new policy or revised policy. *
- Author checks the box as to whether this is an academic or an administrative policy.
- Fill in two or three sentences as to why the policy is being amended or created. An example might be “Massachusetts law requires our policy to be amended with respect to ______.”
- The Vice Chancellor can recommend who will be responsible for an initial review of a policy and recommend other offices necessary for review at this point in the process.
- The name of the office to which the draft policy is sent for review and the date that the review is completed.
- List of method(s) used for distribution. Examples, where the policy will be posted, or how it will be distributed (memo or email etc.) or a meeting is needed.
- The VCAF signs off on this line after reviewing the text and lines 1-8 on the worksheet and sends the paper worksheet along with the draft of the policy to all the Vice Chancellors for review prior to the Vice Chancellors Meeting.
- It may be determined that the policy needs to be reviewed by General Counsel. This section is to be filled out after the legal review is complete.
*Note on formatting of amended policies
The amended policy should clearly show what words are being added to the policy and what words are being deleted.

This post about year round gardening programs for schools reached more than 280,000 shares and one million likes on Facebook. If you were part of making this go viral, thank you for sharing!
My hope in sharing our experience is to offer encouragement to those individuals of initiative who may find inspiration in our year round methods for cold/cool climates, especially:
–hoop house gardening for fall,winter and spring which is aligned with the school year and
— the evening family gardening concept as a solution to how to care for school gardens over the summer. https://childrengrowing.com/2015/09/08/do-you-think-this-could-become-as-big-as-baseball/
I was initially disappointed to discover that some share the post without reading it. Yet, over time, i have come to realize that the more this is shared, the more people starting year round school gardening programs will be reached. Indeed, I have heard from many who are interested in our approach. Eventually we plan to write about our methods in detail, a how-to book perhaps. And, we are considering running conferences or courses for gardening teachers.
I have so enjoyed discovering others who love to share the joy of gardening with children.

Question about 2001 Buick Century
I can't see how fast i'm going, is it the lights or a fuse?
2001 buick century need to get dash apart to install lights Where do I start
Posted on Feb 15, 2009
Are all the lights in the dash out? if not, it is the bulb, the bad news is you have to remove the instrument cluster to replace the bulbs, there is no access from the rear that allows you to get your hand in there.

SOURCE: my light on my dashboard
While I check my files,the quickest way to check fuses is with a test light.These can be bought at most electronic or automotive parts stores really cheaply.
earth one end and probe each side of each fuse with the ignition on and lights on if you want.
The fuses that light both sides are good
lit one side only are blown or bad connection-REPLACE with the same color(amperage)
not lit at all,no power supply,either a fault or usually just not powered at that time.
I hope this helps you,or get back to me with your findings

Each rose planted is in memory of a church member that has passed away. This is a strong fragrance of rose petals suited just for this special garden!

Festival Candles – We have two scents representing local festivals. Peanut Fest (rich, buttery, freshly baked aroma of real peanut butter cookies!) for Sylvester’s annual Georgia Peanut Festival and Watermelon Fest (A fruit blend of melons, peach and strawberry with a hint of vanilla) representing Cordele, GA’s yearly Watermelon Festival event!
Jeannene’s Blueberry Muffins – This deliciously fragrant candle gives off the strong fragrance of fresh baked blueberry muffins is named for the blue ribbon recipe created by Jeannene Bryan of Sumner, well known for her cooking! This is one of our best selling fragrances.
Rams Pride – ozony blend of clover and green grass, with hints of fresh cut wisteria. Ah fresh green grass signifies the Milt Miller field and Pope Park! Created in a two-tone black and gold!
Jolley Pumpkin Pie – this fragrance is self explanatory having pumpkin, vanilla, cinnamon and other irresistible undernotes. It is named after the pumpkin pie recipe of Charlotte Jolley of Sumner. A wonderful year round scent but most popular in the fall.
Camp Osborn – A masculine, crackling birch fragrance having top notes of bergamot, orange, and lemon; with patchouli, vetiver, tonka beans and more. It is named for the numerous campfires and memories created around them over many years at Worth County’s scout haven Camp Osborn.
Worth’s Women- This candle was created for local Breast Cancer Awareness. It has a beautiful and feminine cashmere type fragrance and is pink in color as the BCA symbol is. For each of these candles sold, $1 goes to Worth County’s Relay for Life annual event.
Duck Pond – Named for Gervaise Lawhorne Park in Sylvester which is more commonly known as the Duck Pond. The fragrance is a combination of fresh watercress and aloe with jasmine & eucalyptus.
Strawberry Patch – A juicy, effervescent, thirst-quenching aroma containing just the right amount of juicy, fresh strawberries, tropical white peaches, succulent mango fruit, and rich vanilla beans. Named of course from the Strawberry Patch in Sylvester and Ashburn!
Cotton Harvest – another delightfully fresh scent like that of clean linen blowing gently on the clothes line amidst a cool summer breeze.
We also have a variety of tart fragrances including vanilla bean and cinnamon as well as decorative electric and tea-light candle tart warmers.
