Deepa Mehta at first had titled the film " Ice Candy Man" . The film was to be made in English. Akshaye Khanna and Chandrachur Singh were signed for the lead roles. After a few months they were replaced by Aamir Khan and Rahul Khanna.
Naseerudin Shah was offered Kulbhushan Kharbanda's role but he politely declined, due to his busy schedule. However he told director Deepa Mehta that had he had time he would have definitely accepted the part as he admired her work. | <urn:uuid:8b42b27f-e76f-4983-94ab-3910aa524847> | CC-MAIN-2016-26 | http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0150433/trivia?ref_=tt_ql_trv_1 | 2016-07-01T05:00:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-26/segments/1466783400031.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20160624155000-00090-ip-10-164-35-72.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.998348 | 118 |
WELCOME, WE ARE THE MANUFACTURER OF HOSEBUN™
- a patented urethane hose saddle designed to properly suspend hose.
Hose is expensive, especially industrial hose. When our HOSEBUN™ product is used, the hose manufacturer’s
maximum bending radius is protected, and your expensive hose is kept from kinking.
The HOSEBUN™ is, by far, the foremost method to suspend hose in a permanent or temporary, semi-rigid position. How many times have you seen hose being
hoisted temporarily, ineffectively, or unsafely?
HOSEBUN™ products offer efficient, effective, and safe hose suspension designed for your unique needs. Even wide body slings do not provide the protection your hose requires.
If you plan to purchase dock hose,
suction hose, vapour recovery hose, or any size hose, from 1” I.D. hose
to 12” I.D. hose, we have a hose saddle for you. | <urn:uuid:ef0b55c0-821a-4d0f-9758-a0a54ea8186f> | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | https://www.hosebun.com/ | 2020-08-13T23:52:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439739104.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20200813220643-20200814010643-00177.warc.gz | en | 0.897634 | 217 |

If you like The Head and the Heart, thank Peter, Paul and Mary
Listen to the perfectly synced three-part harmonies (two baritones and a soprano). To the lilting and spare acoustic guitar backing. To the sadness.
These are all elements found in the music of pioneering folk trio Peter, Paul and Mary in the 1960s. What we think of as 1960s folk music was really a rediscovery (or revival, in the preferred vernacular) of the concept of "traditional music." The sound we associate with Folk Revival actually blended everything from British medieval court music to Appalachian bluegrass and created something new that sounded earthy and authentic and familiar; in essence, it was a new sound that seemed as though it had been around forever.
And no one encapsulated that new sound better than Peter, Paul and Mary. When Travers, Paul Stookey and Peter Yarrow recorded their first album together in 1962, they weren't creating a new sound; they were simply absorbing the elements of the Folk Revival that had begun in the 1950s and polished them to a pretty and widely palatable sheen, combining elements of humor and political statement into a familiar-yet-fresh folk sound. Their voices were untrained and unbalanced (they also had two baritones and a soprano), and they had their biggest hits either recording other people's songs or recording traditional tunes that had been around for decades. And yet despite their simplicity (or more likely because of it), they became so hugely popular that their influence continues to resonate 50 years later.
For example, compare "Winter Song" to Peter, Paul and Mary's "500 Miles:
You'll hear the same complex harmonies, the pleasantly uneven vocal balance, the resonating guitar accompaniment. And of course, the sadness. (Folk Revival was nothing if not beautifully sad.) So many of the elements that make Peter, Paul and Mary sound like they do manifest in one way or another on The Head and the Heart's self-titled debut album.
So remember, if you like The Head and the Heart, thank Peter, Paul and Mary. | <urn:uuid:96e40ca2-3c9b-4012-ba3e-bae4f5b93566> | CC-MAIN-2018-13 | http://lostthingsfound.blogspot.com/2012/12/if-you-like-head-and-heart-thank-peter.html | 2018-03-20T13:28:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-13/segments/1521257647475.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20180320130952-20180320150952-00114.warc.gz | en | 0.973248 | 447 |
The New York Giants have not experienced many positives on the injury front in recent weeks, but that’s poised to change a bit on Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks.
Although guard D.J. Fluker was added to the team’s injury report on Saturday due to a knee injury, it is expected that the veteran will not only play in Week 7, but will start.
In addition to Fluker, the Giants also appear poised to see the return of Sterling Shepard, who was among four wide receivers to suffer serious injuries against the San Diego Chargers in Week 5.
Shepard, of course, was the only one of the four receivers who did not suffer a season-ending injury. Odell Beckham Jr., Brandon Marshall and Dwayne Harris all landed on injured reserve (IR).
In a 23-10 victory over the Denver Broncos last Sunday, Giants receivers caught only two passes on five targets for 22 yards. They also had two drops.
Although he’s primarily a slot receiver, head coach Ben McAdoo said earlier this week that Shepard could see time outside due to the team’s depleted numbers at the position.
“He could play outside depending on which personnel group is on the field. We’re confident in all those guys, whether they play inside or outside,” McAdoo told reporters. | <urn:uuid:48897ad8-16df-478e-8e7b-cf465b788c32> | CC-MAIN-2019-04 | https://giantswire.usatoday.com/2017/10/22/new-york-giants-sterling-shepard-dj-fluker-play-seahawks/ | 2019-01-23T00:44:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-04/segments/1547583879117.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20190123003356-20190123025356-00282.warc.gz | en | 0.973501 | 279 |
Jahana Hayes, the former National Teacher of the Year who grew up in public housing, won the Democratic nomination for the open 5th Congressional District seat Tuesday night, bringing her closer to becoming the first black Democrat from New England to win a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Hayes, who had never run for office before, defeated Mary Glassman, a veteran politician with a long history in government. Hayes will face former Meriden Mayor Manny Santos, the winner of a three-way Republican primary, in November. Santos has struggled to raise money and the district is viewed by most political observers as likely Democratic.
Hayes, who has spoken frankly about growing up in public housing and being the daughter of a drug addict, acknowledged her unlikely journey and the history-making quality of her campaign. She noted that she jumped into the race “102 days ago, with no money and no network.”
“People told me I had no chance and I had no business trying to do this,’’ Hayes told cheering supporters in Waterbury Tuesday night. “Tonight we proved them wrong.”
"This is representative democracy, everybody has a voice," said Jahana Hayes, a first-time candidate who grew up in public housing and is now seeking to be the first black woman elected to Congress in Connecticut. Her message resonates with African American women.
Hayes is part of a wave of progressive Democratic women who are new to politics but won key primaries this year. She is also one of dozens of newly mobilized public school teachers seeking elective office this year.
But Hayes never fit neatly into the insurgent narrative. While she narrowly lost the endorsement of Democratic insiders at the party convention in May, she had several powerful benefactors including Waterbury Mayor Neil O'Leary. U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy, while officially neutral in the race, encouraged Hayes to run for the 5th District seat, which he once held.
After the results were tallied, Murphy said he was "inspired by the campaign run by my friend Jahana Hayes."
Hayes "persevered against tough odds and inspired people all across the 5th District,'' Murphy said. "She will be a much-needed voice in Congress, and I’ll be fighting with her to keep my old House seat blue. I need Jahana by my side in Washington getting things done for Connecticut families.”
Throughout the campaign, Glassman, 60, the former first selectman of Simsbury, highlighted her experience running a small town and working as a staffer at the state Capitol. But that message was out of sync with a political zeitgeist that favored outsiders with unusual biographies.
"It's obviously the mood of the people that they want something different,'' Glassman said, shortly after conceding to Hayes at about 9:30 p.m. "It's the place and time where we are in our country now."
With more than 95 percent of the votes counted, Hayes led Glassman by a 62 percent to 38 percent margin.
Mary Glassman concedes to Jahana Hayes in Democratic primary for 5th district congressional seat.
Hayes, who is 46 and lives in Wolcott, is a political newcomer but had strong support from unions and the Working Families Party. She quickly gained a national profile, appearing frequently on MSNBC and drawing donations from across the U.S.
“Jahana’s win also demonstrates the value in electing and mobilizing teachers who will fight for public education, stand up to Betsy DeVos, and advocate the importance of collective bargaining,’’ said Lindsay Farrell, state director of the Working Families Party. “Through Jahana’s campaign, we have seen an outpouring of support from parents, students, and fellow teachers inspired by Jahana’s story.”
The 5th District encompasses 41 communities in Western Connecticut, from the tony Farmington Valley suburbs to the Litchfield Hills. It includes the cities of Waterbury, Meriden and Danbury. The Cook Political Report, a nonpartisan political newsletter, rates the district as "solid Democratic."
Santos, who has less than $30,000 in his campaign account, savored his primary victory over psychologist Ruby Corby O’Neill and manufacturing consultant Rich DuPont. “This wasn’t a very easy battle,” Santos said. “In fact this is only just the skirmish in the overall battle … and that’s where we have to win.”
As recently as four months ago, the current occupant of the seat, Democratic incumbent Elizabeth Esty, was widely expected to cruise to a fourth term. But in late March, the Washington Post and the Connecticut Post reported that Esty mishandled a sexual harassment complaint involving her Washington chief of staff. Within a week, she announced she would not seek re-election.
Several other high-profile Democrats, including two parents of children killed in the Sandy Hook school shootings, resisted calls to run. Glassman entered the race about an hour after Esty announced she was vacating the seat. Hayes declared her candidacy less than two weeks before the party's nominating convention.
Hayes and Glassman share mainstream progressive views on a host of issues, from immigration to gun control. They both also vowed to challenge President Donald Trump's agenda.
But Hayes put her identity as a black woman who escaped poverty at the forefront of her campaign. Her life story — the daughter of a drug addict who grew up in public housing in Waterbury who became pregnant at 17 and went on to become a nationally recognized teacher — was integral to her appeal.
Scot X. Esdaile, president of the Connecticut NAACP, said Hayes’ victory is a signal that the Democratic party needs to embrace diverse candidates. “This room shows who the people are,’’ he said. “It’s not a select few or so-called political bosses. Those days are over.”
As she savored her victory Tuesday night, Hayes became emotional. “This is happening, this is happening, this is happening. Thank you for trusting me,’’ she said. “Thank you for voting for me, thank you for standing in the rain and knocking on doors and making phone calls, and reminding people that we get to be here.” | <urn:uuid:5a0aa896-5e2c-4dd0-aa9a-0fbbf3c154db> | CC-MAIN-2020-50 | https://www.courant.com/politics/elections/hc-pol-connecticut-fifth-district-primary-jahana-hayes-mary-glassman-20180813-story.html | 2020-12-01T09:55:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-50/segments/1606141672314.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20201201074047-20201201104047-00306.warc.gz | en | 0.974646 | 1,314 |

The (Mountain) Lion King: Apple Presents New Mac OS
Apple has announced its spangly new OS X Mountain Lion, which is now available to developers.
Unfortunately for those of us who aren’t crafty devs, Camp Cupertino says we’ll have to wait until “late summer 2012” to be able to get our mitts on the beast.
New features on board include iOS beauties such as Notification and Game Centres, and AirPlay mirroring for Notes and Reminders.
But the major new arrival is Gatekeeper, which allows you to control all of the apps on your Mac. Gatekeeper works by allowing your Mac to only run apps downloaded from the Mac App Store, or those that have been given a unique Developer ID from Apple.
It’s essentially a new security feature that restricts users to using only Mac App Store apps, thus creating a more controlled environment. However Apple recognises that that this may not go down too well with everyone, so have made Gatekeeper an optional feature that can be turned off.
Exciting times for Mac lovers, roll on the summer! | <urn:uuid:bd5b3e19-3fb2-4b53-bfbb-3e3a2c9f410a> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://community.phones4u.co.uk/the-mountain-lion-king-apple-presents-new-mac-os/ | 2013-05-21T13:13:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368700014987/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516102654-00058-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.937182 | 235 |
The device of mistaken identity is one Shakespeare probably derived from Roman comedy, where it is part of stock humorous plots. If one reflects on the device, though, it is essential to the nature of theatrical experience. To watch a play, we must "mistake" the actors for the characters they are playing. Thus all mistaken identity in dramatic plots takes advantage of two levels of mistake, of actor A playing part B in which character B plays character C. Often the jokes about mistaken identity thus have a dual reference to both the character's and actor's situation.
In both classical and Shakespearean drama, female characters were played by men. A favourite form of dual identity becomes the male actor playing a woman playing a man, a part that requires some acting skill as the male actor can't simply act normally as a man, but must exaggerate the feminine while in male disguise. | <urn:uuid:d2920d03-e2f8-48c0-bd0e-624d94c2d1bc> | CC-MAIN-2017-30 | https://www.enotes.com/homework-help/discuss-motifs-mistaken-identity-pretense-disguise-287653 | 2017-07-27T19:14:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-30/segments/1500549429417.40/warc/CC-MAIN-20170727182552-20170727202552-00180.warc.gz | en | 0.975819 | 176 |
If you’ve been following Geek.com for any length of time, you know about our love of obscure extreme sports. These are activities that make downhill mountain biking, sky diving, backcountry skiing, and other such activities look like a stroll in the park, on a rather pleasant day, with your lover on your arm humming a wonderful tune.
Professional sailing captain Alex Thomson brings new meaning to the phrase “like a boss” with his recent “keel-walk” stunt that took place on his Hugo Boss-sponsored sailboat earlier this month. If you are unfamiliar with what a keel is or does, it’s a long fin underneath a boat that helps to keep it from flipping over when putting its weight into tacking. Of all the things that it’s meant to do, serving as a gangplank isn’t one of them at least to normal people. Thomson chooses to be different, however, in the fact that he had his crew put the boat on its side under full wind so he could walk on it in a Hugo Boss suit as part of a publicity campaign for the clothing company.
Hailing from the UK, Thomson has been sailing boats his entire life with his professional experience spanning the last twenty years. Specializing in around-the-world solo sailing, he is accustomed to looking dangerous situations in the face. When asked why he wanted to try to walk on the keel of his boat while it was traveling at 19 knots (about 21 mph), his answer was “I’ve wanted to for a few years now.” Simple as that.
To understand how risky this maneuver was, you have to understand the specifics about the boat. Weighing in at over 4 tons, getting hit by the sixty-foot racing vessel would feel the same as getting hit by a charging elephant. When you add in the fact that even if Thomson survived such an impact, there would be significant danger of drowning. Long story short, keel-walking is not something you want to try at home.
The good news is that Thomson was successful in his attempt to “walk the plank” so to speak, which is pretty remarkable. What is even more amazing is the fact that this is his second time doing it. A few years back he made the attempt and was also successful, but all he had to show for it was a few photographs that the general public called questionable. Many people accused Thomson of photoshopping the image, so he wanted to capture the event on video this time to silence the critics. Pretty sure he proved his case, like a boss. | <urn:uuid:fcf66891-d04e-4618-999c-632dac22995e> | CC-MAIN-2014-23 | http://www.geek.com/geek-cetera/extreme-sailing-captain-walks-on-the-keel-of-his-four-ton-sailboat-video-1470445/ | 2014-07-26T05:36:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-23/segments/1405997894983.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20140722025814-00077-ip-10-33-131-23.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.98576 | 539 |

I bought mine as a Certified Car. while that costs anywhere from $1500 to $2000 more it's well worth extra $$. The extended warranty not so much based on the number of miles one drives. I don't drive a lot. The only thing I've had to do in 6 1/2 years is change oil on schedule and change batteries. I'm so sold on this car that I'm now looking for my third V-8 LS that will take me deep into retirement. Don't like the idea of a 6 cylinder big car.
I wanted a dependable used car with style, comfort, awd, and power. I did a lot of online research and narrowed it down to Lexus for overall ride and dependability. I purchased it with 103k on it and haven't had any issues in 10k miles. Engine sounds smooth, and runs strong, like new. Its at home on the highway with plenty of passing power. The LS 460 isn't flashy but turns heads, exactly what i wanted.
This is the 3rd Lexus I'd owned (2002 SC430, 2009 ES350) and the best Lexus! I bought it as used in 10/2014, I'd been enjoy driving it everyday! The V8 is powerful, smooth and quite. I really love this car!
You work hard all of your life, you deserve this car. If you are considering it, you will never regret the decision. The car handles very well, and gives you the choice on the type of suspension you prefer. It is very responsive. You will feel safe and wrapped up in this vehicle. If you are looking for screaming performance, then you may want to look elsewhere, this ride is for those who just want a comfortable "couch on wheels" feel.
My favorite feature is the automatic trunk. When you have tons of items in your hands, it helps that you do not have to fish any keys out. Just walk up to your car, and touch the trunk touchpad. Love that feature!
Honestly the NAV system is pretty antiquated. You will hear the same thing echoed in most of the Lexus forums. Lexus really needs to make a better NAV system, but no worries, it does not hamper my admiration for this well built machine.
Second LS for us. previous 2003 LS w/ 185,000 miles and did have some issues w/ suspension reliability, but otherwise bullet proof. 2009 LS Luxury package, longwheel base, is a real cruiser, loads of power, owned now for 6mos. w/o any complaints. Mark Lev.stereo is a dream. recent cross country trip, was shocked to look down to notice speedo @ 100mph by mistake on open road and ride was effortless and under total control, scary quiet. best mileage at 65, was 28mpg figured by hand. still discovering buttons and features.
Body style, interior comfort, smooth power, effortless driving.
roof line of new body style is a little low when entering the car, I'm only 6ft tall, but have to duck down more than the more upright roof line of the 2003 LS | <urn:uuid:7ae58e12-6d72-4c11-bff2-eb31023b0dbf> | CC-MAIN-2018-34 | https://www.edmunds.com/lexus/ls-460/2009/consumer-reviews/ | 2018-08-17T19:25:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-34/segments/1534221212768.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20180817182657-20180817202657-00603.warc.gz | en | 0.964951 | 644 |

The date for our much anticipated NYC outing has been set as Thursday, January 22nd! Members (only) are encouraged to join us for a trip to the Museum of the City of New York and catch a glimpse of the visual culture of elite New York in the late-19th and early-20th centuries. After our tour, the group is invited to lunch at the fabulous NYC apartment of Rowayton Gardener Lilly Langotsky. For more details about the Museum and specifics of transport, cost and time, click below.
The Museum was founded in 1923 by Henry Collins Brown, a Scottish-born writer with a vision for a populist approach to the city. It was originally housed in Gracie Mansion, the future residence of the Mayor of New York. Hardinge Scholle succeeded Henry Brown in 1926 and began planning a new home for the Museum. The City offered land on Fifth Avenue on 103rd-104th Streets and construction for Joseph H. Freedlander’s Georgian Colonial-Revival design for the building started in 1929 and was completed in 1932.
During the next few decades, the Museum amassed a considerable collection of exceptional items, including several of Eugene O’Neill’s handwritten manuscripts, a complete room of Duncan Phyfe furniture, 412 glass negatives taken by Jacob Riis and donated by his son, a man’s suit worn to George Washington’s Inaugural Ball, and the Carrie Walter Stettheimer dollhouse, which contains a miniature work by Marcel Duchamp. Today the Museum’s collection contains approximately 750,000 objects, including prints, photographs, decorative arts, costumes, paintings, sculpture, toys, and theatrical memorabilia.
Our chartered bus will leave the Community Center at 8:15 am, with an expected return time of 4 pm. The fee of $50 (payable to Rowayton Gardeners and mailed to Sally Tepas, 8 Barnfield Road, Rowayton, CT 06853) will cover transportation, lunch at Lilly’s and a docent led tour of the “Gilded New York” exhibit at the Museum.

HitmanPro 3.8.23 Build 318 x64/x86 Multilingual Free download.
HitmanPro is the perfect complement to antivirus software to enhance your system\’s security. With this program you can detect and destroy all kinds of malware and malware including viruses, trojans, spam, rootkits, worms and more. You might ask, what is the need to use these tools with antivirus software? The first reason is the increase in security layers. When a virus escapes your antivirus grab, it may be trapped on the security screen of this program. On the other hand, building a security system based on a combination of power and intelligence is the right decision. Most antivirus programs are added to the antivirus database after a file is signed and their attacks are fixed, and users are protected against the attack by updating their antivirus software. But what if they don\’t update?
This is where antivirals with behavioral techniques show their effectiveness. These antivirus packages, which HitmanPro also uses, do not require much updating of the database because the virus detection method is different in these software. This antivirus considers them suspicious and quarantines them by quarantining them based on the malicious actions that a file does, based on their interference with the executable processes and windows vulnerabilities. Because the behavior of an executable file is more algorithm-based than database-based, there is little need for this type of antivirus update. Often, existing updates are simply to update executable algorithms and to smarten up the behavioral process. Since the volume of this antivirus is not large and like other heavyweights, it does not consume much of the system\’s resources, there is no excuse to put it out.

IPhones and iPads with newer iOS versions can be rendered unusable via a security hole. With Apple’s HomeKit it is possible to force the cell phones and tablets to reset. Apple responds late.
“Doorlock” iPhones and iPads become unusable
Security researcher Trevor Spiniolas points to an extensive loophole in iOS that can have unpleasant consequences for owners of iPads and iPhones. With the so-called “door lock” problem, it is possible to Cell phones and tablets from Apple cannot be used close. Affected users have no choice but to perform a reset. Even restarting the device does not seem to be enough.
If the name of a HomeKit device is changed to a long string, then any device that loads the string will massively disturbed. It can then simply no longer be operated. Restoring an iPhone or iPad and re-logging in to the iCloud account linked to the HomeKit device should trigger the error again (source: Trevor Spiniolas).
According to Spiniolas, the void exists at least since iOS 14.7 and can also be found in the latest iOS 15.2. Older versions of the operating system may also be affected. It is “likely that the error occurs in all versions of iOS 14”. In the worst case scenario, attackers could exploit the vulnerability with the help of ransomware.
In the video: Everything about the iPhone 13 models.
Apple reacts too late: security gap remains for the time being
According to its own information, Spiniolas has Apple informed about the vulnerability as early as mid-August 2021. Apple is said to have replied that they want to fix the problem in 2021. It was apparently not enough for that, now an update is to be published in early 2022 to get the problem out of the world. | <urn:uuid:2ddb9bf2-8436-4438-8f5d-8f446a4c33ea> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://quadrodelta.com/2022/01/09/danger-for-iphones-and-ipads-new-security-hole-has-emerged/ | 2022-01-17T09:33:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320300533.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20220117091246-20220117121246-00324.warc.gz | en | 0.926486 | 382 |
Comments Off on August 14 SOTW
WOO HOO! It’s Sunday and time for a brand new Unity SOTW.
I live in Southern Arizona and was so excited to get this post because dream catchers are HUGE in Arizona.
One of my favorite techniques when you have a solid image is to stamp it on watercolor paper, color on top of the stamped image with distress markers (just the opposite of coloring on the stamp!), and spritz with water. Then you just let the color flow however it wants to. I didn’t even plan that little blue image to the right that actually looks like a heart (to me anyway). That’s how simple my little sample is for you today.

As rumors out of Japan continue to push the notion that Square Enix is on the verge of its biggest year ever in terms of PlayStation 2 software, American gamers find themselves on the verge of the company's first release of the season. Known on our side of the Pacific as Drakengard and developed by the "Project Dragonsphere" team at Cavia, the March-bound experiment formerly identified as Drag-On Dragoon finds its roots in prestigious company. Made up of team members that have worked on such past hits as Resident Evil, Ridge Racer, Ace Combat, and ICO, the Dragonsphere team certainly knows how to make quality videogames -- even if they'd never formerly worked together as a unit before this.
Because of Cavia's heralded background and somewhat mysterious intentions, however, it seems that the general gaming public doesn't quite know what to think about Drakengard quite yet. Though we had the opportunity to speak with producer Takamasa Shiba last week in our extensive Insider Video Interview, there were still plenty of questions left unanswered that had our readers pining for more information; specifically about the gameplay system and the particulars behind the storyline. Yes friends, it's the perfect fodder for what we in the office like to call "the follow-up article."
From the outset, it's pretty obvious that Drakengard is definitely larger than your normal videogame experience. Spanning 13 story-centric chapters, the game boasts a reported total of 100-plus hours of gameplay with multiple endings and minor story paths. Each chapter can last anywhere from two to five hours apiece, and the plot moves forward via a combination of cinematic CGI cut scenes and dialogue segments told via the in-game engine. In terms of the story itself, it's pretty straight forward up to this point (re: through the end of chapter one) and adheres to several classical videogame conventions.
For the unfamiliar, Drakengard tells the story of a former prince named Caim (pronounced "Kyme") and his sister, the goddess Furiae. The last remaining members of a royal family that previously ruled the land, Furiae and Caim have seen their kingdom overrun by a mysterious army known only as "The Empire". Now on its last legs, the rebellion that seeks to fight off the Empire (cleverly referred to as "The Union") looks to Caim as its last hope for victory while The Empire continues to dominate and pillage the land for unknown reasons. When the first chapter begins, we find Caim already in the middle of a battle with Empire soldiers as he fights his way through invaders trying to overtake his sister's castle.
After the end of the first mission -- or "verses" as they're called in the game -- Caim finds himself mortally wounded and on the cusp of death when he discovers a tortured red dragon lying in chains in the castle yard. Almost dead itself, the dragon taunts Caim and expects to find death at the tip of his sword before being offered a unique proposition: join souls with Caim to form a spiritual pact to save each other's lives. The dragon accepts and it and Caim are healed of their wounds completely; bound together as one soul in two bodies. This agreement comes with a price, however, and that price is Caim's ability to speak. Completely lost when the symbol of the man/dragon pact was fused to his tongue as proof of their union, Caim's missing voice doesn't come a moment too soon. Especially since in the moments before, he spent the majority of his time bitching and complaining like a late-fee culprit that frequents your local video store.Continues | <urn:uuid:c63d5b66-16f4-4894-a9b5-3aa966f2612a> | CC-MAIN-2015-22 | http://www.ign.com/articles/2004/01/23/drakengard-progress-report | 2015-05-30T20:32:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-22/segments/1432207932705.91/warc/CC-MAIN-20150521113212-00222-ip-10-180-206-219.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.971862 | 752 |
Indeed, the advice of Claudio did work for me too:
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/gdm && sudo aptitude reinstall gdm
Just reinstalling (without suppression of /var/lib/gdm) did not work.
/var/lib/gdm was empty on my computer before I deleted it and it still empty after reinstallation.
I did not change the default gdm config in Karmic and this did not prevented me from getting this bug.
I run on AMD 64 bits and did not get this problem on my other laptop (intel 32 bits).

LAZY SUNDAY AFTERNOON
Every time I see a stack of Sunday store ads, I think about lazy Sunday afternoon when my sisters and I were younger. We obeyed the one and only rule about the Sunday newspaper: Dad read the paper first. As soon as he finished reading a section, then my sisters and I could fight over it.
Before Dad even looked at the front page, he pulled out all the store ads and my sisters and I flipped through them, impatiently waiting for the comics and entertainment sections and the Parade magazine. The wait was more brutal when Mom sat nearby and automatically had dibs on the section after Dad.
Most times, Dad knew when we fiddled with the paper when our impatience got the better of us. We carefully slid the comics section out and carefully opened and read it without crinkles or wrinkles before he and Mom came home from church or Bible study. I like holding on to that memory.

By Gerald D. Simpson, Ph.D.
In a 1983 law review article, Stephen G. Thompson observed the following:
“Modern criminal justice is premised upon the requirement that a criminal defendant be proved guilty beyond a reasonable doubt before punishment can be meted out. This standard of proof is severe; its severity is based upon a collective societal judgment that the risk of error be borne by the state. As fundamental and unquestionable as this principle may seem, it is frequently tested when the interests of society appear urgent, immediate, and identifiable. In these instances, society often creates policies and systems which threaten the presumption of innocence.”
Breath testing is a good example of the use of scientific evidence that routinely deprives suspects and defendants of the presumption of innocence and results in wrongful convictions as well as unwarranted guilty pleas.
The reason for this is that breath testing as now employed does not accurately reflect the true or actual value of alcohol concentration in the venous blood or even in the breath of a human subject.
Current scientific research, published in respected peer-reviewed journals, now shows that results from breath alcohol analysis or breath testing are not sufficiently reliable for use in our courts. This represents a huge problem because breath testing has been used widely for this purpose for over 50 years and continues in widespread use on a daily basis.
What has now been demonstrated is that three important aspects of breath testing are faulty or even downright wrong:
- The very basis for breath testing in humans is the theory that ethyl alcohol (ethanol) in the blood is in equilibrium with the alveolar air in the lungs and that by measuring the concentration of ethanol in the end-expired air sampled by a breath machine, the amount of ethanol in the blood or breath can be reliably determined. Recent work by Michael Hlastala at the University of Washington Medical School in Seattle has shown that there is no such equilibrium and that breath testing therefore cannot work.
- Evidential breath testing has a very large margin of error, a minimum of +46%, meaning that for a given individual the breath test result can be anywhere from 0 to 46% higher than the actual amount of alcohol in the blood. This is the minimum amount of error that is indicated by the most recent scientific research. The actual amount could well be far greater.
- It has been recently shown that the “calibration” method used to ensure reliable performance of evidential breath machines does not work. The method used to “calibrate” these machines on a regular basis deals with only a fraction of the total error or uncertainty involved in a breath test result for a given individual; it simply ignores the major sources of error involved in results from evidential breath machines, e.g. error that occurs from assuming that the blood/breath ratio is 2100:1. Consequently, the actual amount of error in a breath test result for a given individual is unknown.
Despite the fundamental scientific shortcomings of breath testing as used in criminal and civil cases, our courts continue to consider such evidence as an acceptable indicator of the inability to drive safely.
One issue that should be taken to the U.S. Supreme Court involves the destruction of evidence when breath testing is are given.
When a suspect is given a breath test, the breath sample is discarded, even though the technology to save the breath sample has been readily available for many years. This issue was taken to the U.S. Supreme Court in a California case called Trombetta many years ago (1984) and the court ruled that breath test samples need not be saved.
It is time to revisit this issue because research done in the 1990s makes it clear that breath testing is far less reliable than blood testing, and far less reliable than the Trombetta court was led to believe, yet it is blood samples that are retained by forensic laboratories and breath samples are discarded.
There are at least 100 volatile compounds (other than ethyl alcohol) that can cause false readings on a breath test device.
This is a compelling reason why the breath sample should be saved for reanalysis. A simple gas chromatography analysis can determine if any other compounds are contributing to, or are responsible for the entire reading. The prosecution must provide an unequivocal identification of ethyl alcohol and show that it is responsible for the entire reading produced by the breath test device. Without this, the evidence would appear to be insufficient for a reasonable juror to conclude guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
Because a criminal charge is involved, regulation should be at least as strict as it is for medical or clinical laboratories for which 95% confidence limits are used to meet a standard of reasonable medical certainty.
Breath testing is actually a clinical chemistry analysis because alcohol concentration is being measured in a human body fluid (breath). Consequently, when used for legal purposes in criminal cases, regulations should require at least 95% confidence limits (some have argued that 99% confidence limits are appropriate to meet a standard of beyond a reasonable doubt).
Consider a political poll in which one candidate gets 49% of the vote and the other 51% of the vote, and the margin of error in the poll is +/- 4%. Since the result is within the margin of error, the race is too close to call. Confidence limits are part of how the margin of error is determined.
If one wants to be 95% certain that a subject’s blood alcohol concentration or breath alcohol concentration are not being over-stated by the breath machine result, an appropriate correction factor must be used.
For example, most statutes now criminalize driving with a BAC of 0.08%, and to be 95% certain that the 0.08% limit is in fact exceeded, a person would have to have a test result 40% greater than 0.08%, which is 0.112%. For 99% confidence limits the result must be 46% greater than 0.08%, or 0.117%.
At best, however, statutes and courts allow only +/- 0.01% for the margin of error in breath test results.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS
Drivers need to know what their rights are in order to minimize the chances of wrongful arrest and conviction.
A driver has the right to politely refuse to answer any questions about drinking.
It is likely that the officer will persist in an attempt to get the driver to admit to alcohol consumption to make their case stronger. There is, however, little chance that a driver’s explanations will keep an arrest from happening, so it is better to remain silent about anything having to do with alcohol consumption.
A few things to keep in mind about field sobriety tests:
- If there are factors in play that compromise field sobriety test performance, such as poor balance or nystagmus due to injuries or prescription drugs the officer must be told about them in order to include them in his report.
- Hyperventilation prior to the breath test will significantly lower the test result.
- If the driver has had exposure to paints or solvents or is diabetic or has asthma, the officer must be asked to include these in his report as well.
- Refusal of a blood or breath test can be helpful in some jurisdictions and harmful in others for avoiding conviction at trial, but usually results in suspension of the suspect’s driver’s license.
The current status of breath testing is, as it has been for some 50 years, about the same as the status of DNA Fingerprinting was when if first began to be used in our courts. Forensic scientists adopted this methodology and began presenting it in courts as powerful evidence to identify suspects who left their DNA at the crime scene. At this time, like breath testing now, there was virtually no oversight or outside regulation of DNA Laboratories. Like breath testing, outlandish claims of accuracy and probability of a match were commonplace by those in the forensic science community, even under oath.
As time passed, very capable and informed defense attorneys were able to raise enough doubt about the claims that were being made that evaluation of the method by the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) was initiated. As a result, most of the scientifically unacceptable aspects of the procedures and methods used by DNA Laboratories were corrected, based on the recommendations of NAS committee members.
This is precisely what must be done with breath testing.
NAS consists of members of the main-stream scientific community, not forensic scientists. Indeed, forensic science is not one of the disciplines even represented in the National Academy of Sciences. NAS must be enlisted to evaluate the scientific merit of breath testing methods and procedures. If this is not done, the 50 year history indicates that neither the forensic science community nor our courts will solve the problem.
An immediate fix for the problems with breath testing is to inform jurors and judges that there are large unknown uncertainties in breath test results, and this must be factored into decisions of innocence or guilt of drunk driving. Long term solutions await development of direct, non-invasive blood alcohol tests.
Breath testing is now and will always be too unreliable to use for legal purposes, and when evaluated by NAS, this will eventually be shown to be true.

Designer Paula Orsoni has created and patented a new type of artistic tile that totally transforms wall and floor coverings. Due to their unique method of industrial firing, these modern glass tiles are hot – ironically – with a distinctly “icy” look attributed to their balance of color and light. In another design, metal and plastic pieces are inserted, giving them their one-of-a-kind shapes and patterns. This finishing has also been done on furniture and objet d’art, in addition to turning walls into glossy masterpieces. Either use these artistic tiles as punchy accent pieces among other tiles, arrange them in groups or even customize entire walls and floors – it’s completely up to you. Express yourself!

Website Featuring Ultima Remakes
Ultima: The Reconstruction is a website listing known remakes of Ultima, the classic RPG series by Lord British (Richard Garriott). Some of the projects are abandoned, some are in active development, and some are completed. One or two are homegrown engines, but most are mods or reskins that require having the computer versions of games such as Dungeon Siege or Oblivion.
All of them, however, are loving testaments to one of the most revered RPG series of all time.

The Call of Duty series is truly a juggernaut. Each year, new titles in the series are among the best selling and most popular titles. The latest game, Call of Duty World at War, is no exception. This time around, the modern setting of CoD4 is discarded in favor of the familiar scenes of World War II. Our review of the Xbox 360 version was favorable. The zombie mode in particular was a highlight (and lacking in the Wii version, more's the pity).
I'll be honest, I am generally not a fan of this type of game. I prefer shooting aliens and zombies more than other people, and the extremely realistic historical setting just heightens my sense of unease. Certainly, this made an impact on my review. On the other hand, I'm coming into this from a Call of Duty noob perspective. I can't compare it to Call of Duty Modern Warfare, or any other CoD game, since I haven't played them. I'm reviewing CoD: WaW in a vacuum. On the one hand, I have no previous expectations to skew my view of this game. On the other, I have no frame of reference to the earlier games in the franchise, either. So, I'll review it based on its own merits.
The first thing that struck me about the game was the presentation. Actual war era footage is used in the game for cutscenes and the like, and it's all very well done. At one point, my son said "I'd just kind of like to match more of the videos", in fact. The music adds to the feeling, too, and really gets you pumped up for the game. The graphics are quite good, which was surprising to me for a Wii title. Certainly it doesn't look like a 360 game, but it's easily as good as any other Wii title I've played. My only quibble with the visuals of the game is the fact that it was difficult to read some of the text on screen. It's mainly a minor annoyance, until you fail to notice the tiny "grenade indicator" and die horribly. Overall, though, the games style, presentation, and graphics are quite well done.
The gameplay itself feels much like being immersed in a war movie. Gunfire blazes all around you. You hear the screams of your fellow soldiers as well as those of the enemy. Planes fly overhead, dropping bombs which rumble in the distance. The pace of the game is quite fast, almost to the point of frustration, yet it somehow feels appropriate, adding to the urgency and realistic feel. Objectives are generally quite clear, and it's quite a treat to hear the voice of Jack Bauer himself congratulate you on a well placed shot. Checkpoints are spaced apart well, just far enough to make it challenging but no so much as to make you toss the Wiimote through your TV when you die. In the area of gameplay, CoD WaW is fast paced, exciting, and enjoyable.
If only this were a review written for a standard gaming site, I could stop here, and recommend the game. However, this is Co-Optimus, not Single-player-tron. Put quite plainly, the co-op mode of the Wii version of CoD WaW is a joke. A second player can play along in the main campaign, dropping in and out anytime. All this person needs is a Wii remote, it's that simple. When active, the second player controls their own crosshairs, in yellow, not white, to differentiate from the first player. In the upper right corner, the weapon and ammo for the second player are displayed. The extra player can aim and shoot at anything on the screen. If that player's ammo runs out, they are out of luck until the first player manages to find something for them to use. The extra player can only aim and shoot, that's all.
To say that this is a letdown is an understatement. The first player is called out by name by his fellow soldiers, can run, dodge, duck, look down the sights of his weapon, and is in total control of the game. This allows you to really feel immersed in the action. The second player is a nameless, faceless plus sign, simply there for the ride. I playtested this game in both roles, and I found playing as the second player totally boring. It's like you are a spectator, really, and not an active participant. Even my wife, who is no hardcore gamer, I assure you, found the co-op mode disappointing. She told me she wanted more control over the game, and that's pretty much how I felt too. I give the developers credit for adding in a co-op mode at all, but it seems like they did the bare minimum, just enough to be able to use co-op as a bullet point.
The Co-Op Experience: The co-op campaign allows players to rank up and unlock perks in competitive multiplayer by completing challenges and earning experience points, adding continuous re-playability and team-based gameplay. After completing single player you unlock a 4 player survival mode with Nazi zombies. Players are required to hold a structure by buying weapons, ammo, and fortifying the structure.

Marquette Hosts No. 2/3 Notre Dame on Sunday in its Play4Kay Game
Feb. 15, 2013
MILWAUKEE - The Marquette University women's basketball team returns home Sunday to the Al McGuire Center to take on No. 2/3 Notre Dame. Tip-off is set for 1:50 p.m. CT and the matchup will be broadcast live on ESPN2 with Pam Ward and Stephanie White on the call.
Sunday marks MU's 8th annual Play4Kay breast cancer awareness pink game. The team will be sporting pink uniforms and fans are encouraged to wear pink to the game to support breast cancer awareness. The festivities will include a health fair beginning at 12:30 p.m. on the concourse.
Marquette (12-12, 4-7) is coming off a narrow loss on the road to Cincinnati on Wednesday Feb. 13. The Bearcats converted a layup in the final second of regulation to propel them to a 54-52 win.
Senior Sarina Simmons provided a strong all-around effort for MU, notching 19 points and tying a career high with five blocks. Sophomore Arlesia Morse and freshman Brooklyn Pumroy also recorded nine points apiece. Pumroy was also very active defensively with four thefts and five rebounds.
The Irish's lone loss this season came at the hands of the No.1/1 team in the country, Baylor. Since then No.2/3 Notre Dame has rattled off 18 consecutive victories, including a one-point victory over perennial BIG EAST power house UConn.
The Irish feature four double-digit scorers, led by three-time All American Skylar Diggins. Diggins who is a player of the year candidate, is averaging 15.9 points per contest.
This is the 40th all-time meeting between Marquette and Notre Dame and the Irish own a 31-8 overall record. The Golden Eagles last win over the Irish was Jan. 13, 2009 in a 75-65 victory. | <urn:uuid:d273e2de-8d77-46c5-96be-572ddbcfeb6c> | CC-MAIN-2015-32 | http://www.gomarquette.com/sports/w-baskbl/spec-rel/021513aab.html | 2015-07-30T08:13:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-32/segments/1438042987155.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20150728002307-00200-ip-10-236-191-2.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.936712 | 419 |

100 Hot Books (Амазон, Великобритания)
INTRODUCTION TO THE ENLARGED EDITION
TIME LENDS DISTANCE. When I read words written four decades ago, I see them with an objectivity as if they were composed by another scientist. And yet, blessed with a good memory, I have access now in 1983 to the process of creative genesis for this book's theories that no one else can ever enjoy.
John Livingston Lowes won scholarly esteem for himself, and added to Coleridge's immortal fame, when he explored in The Road to Xanadu the books and poems Coleridge was known to have read before The Rime of the Ancient Mariner was written, tracing in one or another of these works the inputs of images, metaphors, and conceits out of which the great poem's contents were forged. Posterity is grateful to Lowes. But how much more valuable it would be if we had from Coleridge himself an accurate sampling of the creative travail that went into his masterpiece.
Science is not art. Yet, despite the lack of complete identity between art and science, there is much in common among different creative processes. How Mozart produced his music, Shakespeare his plays, Frost his short poems and Milton his great epics, Tolstoy and even Trollope their novels—what would we not give to learn? No less interesting to those of us who consider science the most exciting game in the universe would be autobiographical accounts of the young and old Newton, of Euler at work and Clerk Maxwell at play.
We are eternally grateful to Henri Poincare for his detailed exposition of the role that the subconscious plays in the discovery of mathematical theories: how one wrestles consciously and unsuccessfully with a theorem, then puts it aside, as if out of mind, but apparently not really out of mind; for suddenly, in a Cole-ridgean dream—or, in the case of Poincare when he was stepping on a bus while doing his military service—the successful solution arrives as if the unconscious had all along been grinding away on the puzzle. I once advised the head of the Harvard University Press to publish James Watson's double-helix manuscript— exactly in its first naked form, with its original title, Honest Jim—for the insight it gave into one aspect of science: the struggle for priority and fame. If a man would write such an account, let him be read, even if it is an exaggeration of what is a normal element in the scientific way of life.
We have all been bored by pedants' postmortems on the essence and nature of humor. And working scientists, to tell the simple truth, have neither the time nor the patience to bother with the history of their subject: they want to get on with making that history. Philosophers of science, historians of science, sociologists of science, may not be without honor in their own houses; but the customers who take in their washings, and swap garments with them, are unlikely to be working scientists still in the prime of life. Still, the attention that an assistant professor's dissertation cannot command to a discussion of how Helmholtz achieved his scientific contributions may just possibly be attracted by Helm-holtz's own account. Again, this suggests a role for autobiography in science. The laboratory notebooks of Michael Faraday are more precious to me than the Domesday Book or the Rosetta Stone.
Autobiography has its pitfalls. No better example of that could be found than in the case of Coleridge. Research shows that his statements to have written this or that poem at the age of seven, or eleven, or forty-three can never be taken at face value—and there is the further danger that the "original" poem in question is in fact a translation from Schiller's German. Coleridge has high claims to the title of greatest plagiarist of all time. Genius is above scandal. But just what there is to be forgiven or praised posterity does want to know.
Watson's account of DNA is Watson's account. It is part of a truth and belongs in the record, even though it does less and more than justice to its narrator. Isaac Newton did not falsify the story of his transcendental achievements. He did not do so either consciously or unconsciously. But he was not generous to rivals and you would not be able to discern from Newton's Principia how he arrived at his major discoveries and insights. Even Albert Einstein, the sweetest of human beings and one with so many early achievements to his credit that he had no need for puffery or priority claims, does not seem in late-life accounts to have managed to give plausible accounts of the origins of all his notions. Not to have known of the Michelson-Morley experiment by name is not the same thing as not to have known of equivalent empirical findings. Innumerable writers Einstein studied did know of Brownian motion; in what sense, then, can one interpret Einstein's claim not to have known of it when writing his 1905 paper on stochastic processes?
Content analysis will confirm that autobiographers cannot help but give themselves the benefit of the doubt. Accounts by scientists of their earlier works are invaluable, but such accounts are only one subset of the data and hypotheses that nominate themselves for inclusion in the adversary procedure that constitutes the corpus of science.
Let the reader beware. I have made a conscious attempt to render correctly my role in the creation of modern theoretical economics. But I urge that the grain of salt I have to apply to the present dish be kept at hand by those who have the objectivity of distance as well as of time.

The Village of Palmetto Bay hosted an active adult trip to the Miami Military Museum in southern Miami-Dade County on Thursday, February 24.
The tour for 17 adults 55 and older was via i-Bus from Perrine Community House at 900 Perrine Ave. at the museum, located at 12460 SW 152 St.
Marsha Matson, a member of the village council, was present and said she enjoyed the visit.
“Some of the residents who went are veterans,” council member Matson said. “There is a special focus in the museum, but they cover all the wars and skirmishes and their connection to South Florida and the people of Miami. It’s just a great museum.
She says she has visited it before with family members who are veterans and they enjoyed it.
“It was fantastic then, and it’s even better now,” Matson said. “They have more exhibits and a little theater where they showed a great video. They have more contributions from people who have been involved. I really love him so much.
The museum structure was built during World War II as the headquarters of Naval Air Station Richmond, which had three hangars large enough to accommodate airships, but was used for airships in search of submarines Nazis threatening the coasts of Florida.
During the Cold War and the Cuban Missile Crisis, it was the CIA’s JM-WAVE station, the headquarters of the freedom fighters of the anti-Castro exile Cuban community. It was the site of the US Army Reserve Center during the Vietnam War, and from 1985 to 1992 the US Marine Corps Reserve Center was located there. The Marine Anti-Tank TOW Missile Company departed from there to fight in Desert Storm. In 2018, restoration work on the building began.
Thomas Gammon, a retired Air Force Lt. Col., is currently an education specialist for the museum. He led the tour of the exhibits and coordinated the trip with Saylin Paez, Village Events and Programs Supervisor.
“From all I could tell, they were very impressed with what they heard and what they saw,” Lt. Col. Gammon said. “We started by giving them a presentation on air power and the museum, then we gave them a tour of the building. They were able to visit the WWII Gallery, the Vietnam Gallery, the Desert Storm Gallery, the Korean War Gallery. Each of them had their own memories of what was going on in their lives during those particular wars. It was as fun for us to hear from them as it was for them to hear from us. Many people don’t know this museum exists.
The museum’s executive director is Anthony D. Atwood, PhD, a Miami native and retired Navy Chief Warrant Officer 3 with a BA from the University of Miami, and an MA and Ph.D. from Florida International University. Dr. Atwood focused his presentation on A State of War, Florida in WWII. The museum is something he has stood for for decades, despite the difficulties.
“It’s extremely important,” Dr. Atwood said. “This project has been going on for 20 years.
They thought I was crazy for wanting to move a building and do all of this, but we’re finally doing it all.
Near the museum are the Gold Coast Railroad Museum, Zoo Miami, and several military installations.
The Miami Military Museum’s collection is still being added to and is scheduled to officially open in the fall. For more information, visit www.miamimilitarymuseum.org/.

Chattanooga, TN (June 30, 2021) – EPB and our HCS EdConnect partners received the American Public Power Association (APPA) “Sue Kelly” Community Service Award on June 22 at the APPA National Conference in Orlando, Florida. This award recognizes “good neighbor” activities that demonstrate the commitment of the utility and its employees to the community.
Not long after the COVID-19 pandemic began, EPB joined with Hamilton County Schools, the City of Chattanooga, Hamilton County, The Enterprise Center and other public and private community partners to address a rising crisis – the need for at-home learners to have access to high-speed internet regardless of their financial position. The result was the formation of HCS EdConnect, a program that provides fiber optic internet services to every economically disadvantaged K-12 student in the Hamilton County School system at no charge.
The program officially launched in July of 2020. Qualifying families receive broadband internet, that is at least twice as fast as typical educational access offerings from other providers, with symmetrical upload and download speeds and no data caps provided through EPB’s 100 percent fiber-optic network. As part of the program, EPB also professionally installs a WiFi router at no charge and helps set up each student’s learning devices.
“EPB stepped up during the pandemic to prove that they are more than a local utility service provider,” said APPA President & CEO Joy Ditto. “They are a community partner that is deeply invested in Chattanooga. That’s what this award is all about.”
More than 14,000 students so far have been connected to HCS EdConnect at no charge – more than one third of all Hamilton County Schools students in the district and including their families, represents more than 25,000 individuals. These families are able to keep their high-speed internet connection year-round for up to 10 years as long as they continue to qualify for the program. EPB and our HCS EdConnect partners have already begun enrolling new students to join the program for the 2021-2022 school year.
“We’re proud that Chattanooga is being recognized nationally for decreasing the digital divide in our Gig City using a model that other cities can replicate,” said Evann Freeman, EPB Director of Government Relations. “Our HCS EdConnect partners are happy to share our process with other municipalities to help them decrease the digital divide in their communities.”
Funding partners have provided $7.9 million to cover upfront infrastructure costs including additional equipment, fiber optic drops and wireless routers. HCS EdConnect partners include Hamilton County, City of Chattanooga, Hamilton County Schools, The Enterprise Center, BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee, Benwood Foundation, Community Foundation of Greater Chattanooga, Footprint Foundation, Lyndhurst Foundation, Maclellan Foundation and CARES funding from the State of Tennessee. APPA recognizes excellence in electric utility operations and public power leadership at its annual awards ceremony. EPB was one of 11 utilities and 22 individuals recognized for service in the public power industry. | <urn:uuid:ac70cd83-d6b9-4a1a-ade3-5ae22f3c7d2d> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://chattnewschronicle.com/2021/07/01/epb-and-partners-receive-national-appa-award-for-community-service/ | 2021-10-26T05:14:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323587799.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20211026042101-20211026072101-00600.warc.gz | en | 0.953873 | 640 |
What Happened to Infernaeon?
When we last heard from Brian Werner front man of INFERNAEON, things were going quite well on the GWAR tour. Since then, the band has been missing in action from the past few shows on the tour. What happened? Well it was quite an interesting and expensive sequence of events. Brian Werner took a few moments to detail the events that almost lead to INFERNAEON having to drop off of the tour:
“You know everything that a band fears won’t happen to them on the road has happened to us our whole career at some point or another. This time around, well, we rented a van for the tour. The van blew a cam shaft in Atlanta on the way to pick us up 2 days before we had to leave. Well with no vehicle cancelling the tour was a thought but to us it was never an option. So our bass player Kevin traded his new work truck in for a stable RV. On the way to the first show we lost all electrical power, the headlights went off at 3 in the morning on the freeway, needless to say it was real fun shit. So while we were getting it repaired there were a few hundred Christians protesting abortion outside the mechanics. SO I did the only logical thing I could think of, I was wearing my ABORT CHRIST shirt so I made a huge neon green sign that said FUCK THESE PEOPLE!!!! Needless to say they were pissed. So after a new alternator, transmission, belts and hoses we were good for a couple days until the distributer went out. Fixed again everything was great for the next couple weeks then we get to Dallas and the entire engine seized up leaving us with a nice $9000 bill for a whole new engine. We obviously didn’t have that on us so we ended up finding an awesome used 12 passenger van for $5500 that was a ‘00 with 130k miles on it. We made the show in Dallas by the seat of our ass, thought we were saved and then after a horribly shitty day we got an invitation to visit with none other than King Diamond himself and his wife Livia at his home in Dallas. To us this was one of the most amazing and deeply spiritual experiences of my life and made all the bullshit from the day go away immediately. We crashed in a hotel that night then got up in the morning with the brand new van THAT ONLY MADE IT 30 FUCKING MILES BEFORE THE ENTIRE ENGINE BLEW UP AGAIN!!!!! Come to find out the bearings were loose and we blew a rod through the oil pan….again we needed a whole new engine. So we were forced to cancel both the Little Rock and NOLA shows because we didn’t know what the fuck we were going to do. We ended up finding a very cool motherfucker in Dallas and rented a van for $100 so we didn’t have to cancel the tour. Cancelling shows is never an option for us……ever!!! I played on stage with a 104 fever before we don’t care. This was unfortunately out of our hands. But we are losing our ass on vehicles we have now spent over $14,000 of our own money just on vehicles for this tour and now we’re forced to cough up even more. None of us are rich, we all work our asses off for a living, but there are times you just need to do shit smarter not harder and hustle some shit to achieve your ultimate goal, we never say die. So we will see you motherfuckers on the west coast real fucking soon.” | <urn:uuid:29e38ea0-1487-4909-b004-2ffba5c959ee> | CC-MAIN-2020-05 | https://www.braingell.com/?p=11026 | 2020-01-29T18:29:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-05/segments/1579251801423.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20200129164403-20200129193403-00247.warc.gz | en | 0.981894 | 744 |
I lose money on my business every year. Is there a problem showing a business loss year after year?
Answer: If a business never makes money, the IRS can disqualify it as a proper business and consider it a hobby. If this happens, the ability to deduct losses is greatly reduced. Generally speaking, a business that loses money three years in a row is likely to be considered a hobby.
Example: A taxpayer starts a business in 2003. The business is slow to take off and the taxpayer loses money in 2003 and 2004. In 2005 the taxpayer should make at least a small profit to avoid the IRS labeling his business a hobby. | <urn:uuid:0403c829-32f6-4aba-a8be-1a6b63c81720> | CC-MAIN-2015-11 | http://infotaxsquare.com/view_article.php?title=C-Corp%20vs%20S-Corp%20vs%20LLC&id=398 | 2015-03-03T03:05:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-11/segments/1424936463104.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20150226074103-00112-ip-10-28-5-156.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.955458 | 130 |

I am certainly thankful for the people who read and support this blog. Whether you have come to my attention by befriending me and writing to me and posting comments or you simply lurk and read it, I appreciate all of you.
Today I learned the first words of Thanksgiving were spoken by a Native American who asked, "Anybody got a beer?"
Right back at ya, bud. I'm really grateful for all of your hard work here. It's usually where I start my morning. And it's a damn cool community to feel a part of!
I appreciate the time and effort that you put in maintaining this site. I don’t comment often but I’m a compulsive lurker. Thank you for making this resource available.
Thank you, Tom. You have made a cool blog.
What you do introduces me to cool things, reintroduces me to those that have slipped my attention. and you've been kind enough to feature some of my own adventures over the years. You're a good man, Tom.

Case Study: Fox Chase Cancer Center
Fox Chase Cancer Center is part of the Temple University Health System (TUHS), a $1.7 billion academic health system with $240 million in net patient revenue Fox Chase is designated as a comprehensize cancer senter by the National Cancer Institute.
Part of an academic health system, Fox Chase Cancer Center is ranked among the best hospitals for cancer care, but was experiencing severe financial challenges that left it with essentially no operating liquidity prior to the engagement. New leadership sought to improve revenue cycle processes to bring the cancer center back to solid financial footing.
Fox Chase became part of the Temple University Health System in July 2012. Almost two years into the affiliation, the health system CFO, working with his revenue cycle teams, decided Fox Chase would partner with Huron to further increase cash collections, standardize processes, reduce denials, and increase accountability. Huron’s Revenue Cycle solutions enabled Fox Chase to achieve a $12 million annually recurring revenue benefit – equal to 5 percent of Net Patient Revenue improvement.
Optimizing processes:Temple University Health System and Fox Chase leadership worked collaboratively with Huron to implement optimized processes throughout the Fox Chase revenue cycle. Huron’s leading-edge methodologies were customized to meet the needs of the Comprehensive Cancer Center environment. The engagement decreased 90+ aging by $2.3 million, an 11.5 percent decrease. High-dollar follow-up work in process decreased from $9.1 million to zero.
Implementing new tools: Huron implemented high-performance workdrivers and reporting tools to manage all revenue cycle operations. The new tools provided consistency with the TUHS system and allowed for consistent metrics and reporting across facilities. The engagement increased Pre-Registration Secure at Admit percentage from 65 percent to 98 percent. Pre-certification obtainment increased by 5 percent.
Increasing accountability and productivity: Huron and Fox Chase implemented a new accountability structure across all aspects of revenue cycle operations. Weekly metrics meetings were instituted to ensure high performance. Follow-up productivity increased by 77 percent, resulting in a realized addition of FTEs without adding staff. A denials and write-off task force was implemented to drive further improvements.
Providing leadership and support:The Huron team provided significant support and leadership during a time of transition. The engagement also improved the partnership with physicians and department leaders to help them understand and avoid lost net revenue.
Together, these results contributed to a significant financial turnaround for Fox Chase. The organization is now consistently focused on optimizing financial outcomes, operational improvement, and customer service. The cancer center is on track to post a profit for the current fiscal year. | <urn:uuid:270ea116-192f-40ed-a7c5-e606d7847d1e> | CC-MAIN-2020-24 | https://www.huronconsultinggroup.com/resources/healthcare/case-study-fox-chase-cancer-center | 2020-06-01T20:29:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-24/segments/1590347419593.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20200601180335-20200601210335-00236.warc.gz | en | 0.943792 | 546 |
this is a spin off of the who are u named after thread. for those of you with kids, what were the deciding factors with the name you chose.

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. This week we are talking about reading outside our comfort zones. For the longest time my comfort zone was fiction. I stopped reading mysteries once I was finished with Nancy Drew, I read a few Stephen King novels for a bit of horror, and I felt that I had read enough classics in high school to get by. My go-to books were by John Irving, Barbara Kingsolver, and Nick Hornby. Science Fiction? I read A Wrinkle in Time…as a kid. Fantasy? No thank you. Except Harry Potter, of course. I willy-nilly read my way through stacks of books I found at my mom’s house as well as random selections from my library until I decided to become a librarian. While I still think it’s just fine to maintain a comfort zone, I also feel obligated to step out of it more often. The more I branch out, the better customer service I can provide to my patrons.
As a Teen Librarian, I absolutely have to be on top of what is going on in the world of YA literature. I love YA literature! On the other hand, I also need to be able to provide reader’s advisory to adult, so I can’t neglect all those fabulous “grown up” books either. This list is a perfect opportunity to celebrate all the wonderful books I read every time I stepped out of my comfort zone.
Nonfiction is the absolute last place I turn for a good book, and yet, the few times a year I pick up nonfiction I really enjoy it. Some of my favorite nonfiction finds:
The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot
The Psychopath Test by Jon Ronson
Bossypants by Tina Fey
Fantasy is also outside my normal comfort zone, but I have found some titles that I really love.
Brightly Woven by Alexandra Bracken
The Ranger’s Apprentice series by John Flanagan. The only reason I picked this book up was because I was running out of books that I had read that I could recommend to the guys. It turns out that I adore this series!
Blood Red Road by Moira Young
It also took me a while to warm up to historical fiction. Thank goodness I did or I may have missed these gems:
The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate by Jacqueline Kelly
The Bloody Jack series by L.A.Meyer. Jacky Faber is my hero.
Wicked Girls by Stephanie Hemphill
Finally, it wasn’t until recently that I discovered that I LOVE graphic novels! I am currently working my way through this series:
Fables by Bill Willingham
Oh, wait. One more. I thought that I did not like fairies until I read this:
The Iron King by Julie Kagawa. I just finally finished The Iron Daughter and I am ready to move on to The Iron Queen.
I hope this encourages you to step out of your comfort zone more often! | <urn:uuid:a72fbb1a-0fc7-47bc-a875-14949a211ac7> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | https://rockyriverteenlibrarian.wordpress.com/2011/11/08/top-ten-tuesday-books-ive-read-that-were-outside-my-comfort-zone/ | 2019-05-25T07:05:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232257920.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20190525064654-20190525090654-00056.warc.gz | en | 0.967687 | 641 |
Superfien Iron Powder For ZVI
Our micron iron powder (m-ZVI) is made by a unique physico-chemical combined process. Compared with the traditional iron powder, our micron iron powder has the characteristics of large specific surface area, low redox potential (ORP), high chemical activity and long aging property. It can significantly improve the removal efficiency of chlorinated pollutants in soil and groundwater, and greatly reduce the time of environmental remediation. It can be widely used in soil and groundwater remediation and industrial wastewater treatment and other fields.
Our powders have been introduced into America since 2004, we have become a major supplier of m-ZVI products for the preparation of emulsified zero valent iron (EZVI) (for the remediation of soil and groundwater chlorinated pollutants).
The Application of superfine iron powder in environmental remediation
• As an electronic provider of the system
• Applied to EZVI, combined with biological and abiotic effects, greatly improving repair capacity
• Combined remediation of soil and groundwater
• Approximately spherical particles
• 0.5~10μm particles, precise control of particle size distribution

My idea is to install Scrapebox and Interspire on VPS, let them run 24/7 for e-mail scrape and sending. I saw DotBlock offering first month for 9.95$ and as i have never tried this before so i have decided to give it a try.
My questions are:
1. How far can I go until my IP gets banned by email providers?
2. Do I need any aditional IP addresses?
3. Do I have to install VirtualBox in order to install both applications on server?
4. Do you think is idea good enough?
I have scraped and filtered some niche e-mails, around 10 000 emails/niche, so now i want to send them, but don't realize how to do it without VPS.
I have got hostgator account, but it doesn't allow lists bigger than 5000.
Please, any help will be appreciated. | <urn:uuid:47aef89c-f727-4a4e-b246-5f96fc87b0da> | CC-MAIN-2015-11 | http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackhat-seo/black-hat-seo/510868-vps-scrapebox-interspire.html | 2015-03-06T21:31:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-11/segments/1424936471203.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20150226074111-00264-ip-10-28-5-156.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.959594 | 193 |

“You got this, Jennifer!”
“I need to get out of my head. I’ll go out for a walk.”
“Dinnie doesn’t sweat the small stuff. She likes to move on—just like she is going to do now.”
Techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) also use methods that involve self-dialogue, and recent research shows that self-talk may also help us navigate rough patches. A new study suggests that people can conquer stress if they address themselves in third person: “Ali has never aced this exam, and that’s why his hands are shivering. But all Ali needs to do is face his fears and take the test.”
Quick and easy
Jason Moser, associate professor of psychology at Michigan State University and a co-author of this study, noticed people using third person self-talk during daily conversation. “We wondered: are people doing it by accident? Or is it just a weird quirk of people who are troubled? Is it actually something useful?” says Moser.
Moser, who also works as a therapist, has clients who are less inclined to practice traditional therapies such as CBT and was curious to explore alternatives. [Editor’s Note: hello Creativity meditation!]
The study consisted of two experiments. During the first, researchers showed college students violent images and asked the participants to reflect silently using either first person (I think this is really grossing me out!) or third person (Sanjay is getting grossed out by this image!) self-talk.
With the help of electroencephalography (EEG), researchers were able to also track brain activity in the regions that govern emotions. By observing the pattern of this activity, they were able to determine whether or not third person self-talk was helpful in keeping emotions in check.
During the second experiment, subjects were asked to reflect on painful past experiences using first person or third person self-talk, while their brains were scanned using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), which tracks brain activity in areas that relate to emotional regulation.
Moser says that both experiments produced the same finding: “When people use third person self-talk, emotion-related brain activity was significantly reduced, suggesting they were regulating their emotion.”
There was another startling revelation. Third person self-talk was neither taxing nor required much brain power—at least not more than a standard pep talk. “Nowhere in either study did we see brain activation related to effort for attention or thinking or planning,” says Moser.
Is there some kind of magic in self-talk? What makes it more useful than r first person self-talk? The problem with first person cheering is the use of words such as ‘I’ and ‘me.’ “Those words are completely tied to your ‘self’, whereas your name creates a little bit of psychological distance because it refers to lots of people,” says Moser. “There are Jasons in TV and movies. That little bit of psychological distance from myself to make it look as though I’m thinking about somebody else.” That’s why third person reflections can quickly provide perspective, and also encourage solutions.
Moser also clarifies that self-talk isn’t merely a pep talk designed to make us feel good. Instead, we can note the situation and experience it from beginning to end.
Do it right
Although the research on this subject is relatively new, experts not associated with the study have found the results promising. “I can help people examine what troubles them more dispassionately than they could do on their own,” says Andrea Brandt, Ph.D., a marriage and family therapist in Santa Monica, Calif. “You need space between yourself and your emotions. It makes sense then that third person self-talk could help people regulate stress.”
Though the study didn’t specifically look at first person self-talk, experts suggest it’s not useless. If trying to lift your spirits using ‘I’ and ‘me’, here are a few tips to keep in mind:
1. Try to sound natural and realistic. “You want self-talk to sound like it’s coming from a loving parent or close friend,” says Brandt. “If your best friend felt stressed about work, what would you say to him or her? Now, try saying that to yourself.” And remember to be kind to yourself.
2. Create space between your thoughts and your reactions. Stephanie Kriesberg, Psy. D, a licensed psychologist in Concord, Massachusetts, suggests “externalizing” your fear. “You think of your worry, fear, anger—whatever the problem may be—as something outside of yourself.” Let’s say you’re a father who is having a difficult time putting your son to bed. You are frustrated and feel like yelling. “So when you feel you are starting to lose your cool, you can say to [yourself]: ‘This is my frustration talking. It loves to get me yelling, but I don’t need to listen to it. I’ll take a walk around the house and calm down.’”
3. Breathe deeply. Take deep breaths before you begin self-talk. It will help calm your nerves. | <urn:uuid:226d9cc2-2b23-4d90-817c-b59d937558c2> | CC-MAIN-2020-50 | https://abrandtherapy.com/the-science-of-giving-yourself-a-pep-talk/ | 2020-11-24T20:24:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-50/segments/1606141177566.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20201124195123-20201124225123-00190.warc.gz | en | 0.973822 | 1,150 |
Recall financier Norman Braman emerged victorious in last night's recall election, firmly hoisting Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Alvarez's political scalp above his head, but the auto-magnate billionaire isn't done yet. Calling the recall "not an end in and of itself," Braman has set off on his next step to bring change to county hall by proposing significant changes to the county charter and the makeup of the county commission.
"It is important that the new mayor be elected by the voters and not appointed by the county commission," Braman said in a news release. "So tonight, I am calling upon the county commission to do what is right and expected: immediately schedule an election to choose a new county mayor."
Braman has also teamed with Victor Diaz, chairman of the 2008 county charter review commission, to present a "covenant with the people of Miami-Dade county for charter change."
Among the goals of the "covenant":

- Banning commissioners from lobbying for a certain amount of time after their service has concluded.
- Allowing charter reform initiatives to be placed directly on the ballot.
"It is time to move forward with these and other ideas from the citizens of Miami-Dade," Braman's release concluded. "Today voters took the first step towards a brighter future.

I wanted to experiment with an idea that I've had for a while in my head. I see shots like this all the time on pinterest and I never knew how to do it.. until I tried it!
You don't really need much special equipment that is over expensive (except if you count your camera and a tripod LOL).
All you need is:
A tripod for your camera
How you do it:
1. Put the camera on a tripod or stand (tripod is highly recommend since you will be outside in the elements.
2. Put the Camera on the "A" or "AV" (for you Canonites out there)
3. Put your aperture at 3.5 or below if possible.
4. Put your ISO to AUTO
5. Put your focus on your subject as good as possible. ( you might want to hold there LIT sparklers at their faces to get the right focus.
6. put your shutter speed to 5 seconds or lower! (you might want to learn how to change the shutter on your camera manually.
7. Play around with the sparklers. It might take you a few times to get it!
You can do different things with them. If you have an assistant or a random person, you can just have them around the couple !
Our Favorite Images:
You can also just hold the sparklers in front of your lens to get this effect:

“Can you find one more person using the word ‘anger’?” Lieb asks a video researcher.
Stewart’s pacing has switched to the Frankenstein monster’s stiff-armed lumber; now he’s doing the bolt-neck’s booming voice: “Ugh! Primary voter angry! School-funding referendum vote ‘no!’ ”
Back to Stewart’s natural tone: “But by the June primaries the anger had dissipated.”
“Leaving nothing but the sweet smell of estrogen,” Lieb says, cracking up the room. Clips of real newspeople proclaiming “ladies’ night” are inserted. Stewart picks up the pace: “The June primaries—ladies drank free!” Now he’s singing, and dancing his pathetic white-man’s disco shuffle. “Oh, yes, it’s ladies’ night …”
As Stewart speeds along, hours of work by writers and producers are cut, replaced by improvised digressions. A clip of a Fox News host hyping Tuesday’s Senate primary as the thing that “put Colorado on the national scene” provokes Stewart to ask Hopf, “Will you look at the forces behind Colorado’s statehood?” He peers over Hopf’s shoulder at the Wiki answers, then starts riffing in his best mock-serious anchor tone: “Not to be a stickler, but I believe it was the Pikes Peak gold rush in 1861 that originally put Colorado on the national scene, leading to statehood, ratified in 1876.”
Lieb: “Then they discovered beer in 1901.”
Albanese: “Then a giant woman in a bikini tapped the Rockies.” A producer begins frantically searching for the relevant photo from a Coors Light ad.
Stewart: “Of course, tragically, three years after that, a 50-foot-woman stuck a beer tap into one of their mountains. In the ensuing floods, thousands were killed.”
Lieb: “The ensuing beer-valanche.” When the laughter dies down, Lieb tacks on one more inside-comedy beat. “That’s actually Bruce Vilanch’s brother, Beer Valanche.”
No matter how far the inspired silliness wanders, Stewart steers everyone back to the theme. When the media drumbeat was “rage at incumbents,” 98.5 percent of incumbents won their primaries; on “ladies’ night” a solid majority of male candidates triumphed. “The point is,” Stewart says, “that just because a media narrative is utter bullshit doesn’t mean we won’t get another one. So this month’s primary has a ‘proxy battle’ theme.” He stops. Something’s stumping him. “The kick-in-the-nuts thing—hmmm,” he murmurs.
Albanese knows what this means. “Are we losing the kick in the nuts?” He sounds depressed. “Wwwhew.”
“I think ‘slut, slut, slut’ is better,” Stewart says. Linda McMahon’s testicle-kick video and all the jokes associated with it are vanishing from the wall script. Albanese sighs. Stewart stares. “I have an idea,” he says, then starts dictating again. “ ‘McMahon’s ability to overcome footage from her entire career was impressive’—now add a little piece of the kick in the nuts at the top of this,” he says. “Then, ‘Chuck Todd, help me out. What was the theme?’ ”
Up comes a clip of the NBC political analyst saying, “There was no big theme.”
Now Stewart explodes in mock horror: “Wait—the theme is no theme? Why do I always fall for this? Every time I lean over and look in and what do I get?”
When that line, during taping, is followed by the full McMahon foot-to-crotch, it sparks the biggest laugh of the night, probably for the viewers at home too. And maybe everyone learned another little Daily Show lesson in media criticism—confronted with the spectacle of the media-political complex, the only possible response is laughter. The studio audience, though, got an extra sermon. Every night before starting the show Stewart takes a few questions. This time a woman asks what he likes most about living in the city.
Stewart pauses, looking at the floor for a few seconds. “I grew up in a smaller town in New Jersey,” he says quietly, “and even though we were only an hour outside New York, I remember telling people I wanted to live in the city, and they said”—he puts on a belligerent dumb-ass voice—“ ‘Okay, good luck in the gay-pride parade!’ ”
When the laughs fade, he continues. “Very provincial. So the idea that everything was not only accepted, but appreciated, was my favorite thing about New York. But also that there was a certain energy, that people were like, ‘You know what, fuck it, I’m going to do something I want to do.’ ”
The audience is silent. Stewart punctures the earnestness. “And now I just think, ‘Wow, this is crowded.’ ” More laughs. “So, I got old.”
He made it here; hokey as it is, he wants to do his little part to ensure everyone—Muslim, gay, Sarah Palin—continues to have that same chance, not just in New York, but in America. “You want to add something to the world that is clarifying and not obscuring,” he’d told me earlier. “But I know the difference between real social change and what we do. You know what we are? Soil enrichers. Maybe we can add a little fertilizer to the soil so that real people can come along and grow things.” Somewhere here there’s a wisecrack to make about politics, journalism, and manure. But if there’s any clear and profound moral to be gleaned from our recent absurd era in American history, it's that we're better off leaving the jokes to Jon Stewart. | <urn:uuid:83fed696-5bb7-45de-a4d8-d96902dd8a75> | CC-MAIN-2016-30 | http://nymag.com/arts/tv/profiles/68086/index5.html | 2016-07-24T01:48:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-30/segments/1469257823805.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20160723071023-00004-ip-10-185-27-174.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.948804 | 1,413 |

Quantitative electrolysis of aqueous copper(II) sulfate
This demonstration is designed to find the value of the Faraday constant – the amount of electric charge carried by one mole of electrons - from the electrolysis of aqueous copper(II) sulfate solution, using weighed copper electrodes.
This is a relatively straightforward demonstration to set up and carry out, but there is not much to see while it is taking place. This provides an ideal opportunity to ask students to prepare a suitable results sheet and to explain how the masses of the electrodes, the current passed and the time elapsed can be used to calculate a value for the Faraday constant. The experiment will take around 40 minutes.
Students can be told that the calculations are relevant for industrial applications of electrolysis, for example in the extraction of elements such as sodium and chlorine, and in the electroplating industry.

1 These should be 2 - 3 cm wide and long enough to reach from the bottom of a 250 cm 3 beaker to the rim, where they can be folded over and gripped by the crocodile clips on the leads.
a Clean the copper electrodes with emery paper, rinse under the tap and dry thoroughly using paper towels and a hot-air blower.
b Mark the electrodes as + or – at one end, and weigh them separately. Record the masses.
c Set up the circuit as shown in the diagram, clamping the electrodes to the rim of the beaker using the crocodile clips. Make sure the electrodes do not touch.
d Fill the beaker with copper(II) sulfate solution to just below the crocodile clips.
e Start the stop clock and switch on the current, setting the rheostat so that a current of 0.50 A passes through the solution.
f The current alters slightly throughout the electrolysis, so it is important to make continual adjustments to the rheostat to keep the current constant.
g After about 30 min switch off the current and stop the clock.
h Remove the electrodes from the electrolyte, wash them carefully under running water, then rinse them in a beaker of propanone in a fume cupboard. Finally dry them by allowing the propanone to evaporate in a well-ventilated laboratory, and away from any naked flames.
Re-weigh the dry electrodes.
The results should be entered in a table, for example:
Mass of cathode (-) before /g
Mass of cathode (-) after /g
Change in cathode's mass /g
Mass of anode (+) before /g
Mass of anode (+) after /g
Change in anode's mass /g
Current used /A
Time for electrolysis /s
It is difficult to avoid fluctuations in current throughout the electrolysis, and thus obtain an accurate value to use in the calculations.
Be careful to avoid any movement of the electrodes during the electrolysis.
Thorough washing and drying of the electrodes is vital. A tiny amount of moisture left on the electrodes causes a considerable error in the mass calculations. The electrodes should NOT be heated in a flame to dry them as the copper will oxidise on the surface to form black copper(II) oxide. After initial drying by evaporation of the propanone, a hot-air blower could be used.
student worksheet available with this resource to work through the process of calculating the Faraday constant. Students could also be asked to use the official value of 96500 Coulombs per mole to calculate the percentage error.
Answers to student questions
1-4 The answers are based on your experimental observations within the experiment above.
The calculated value for the Faraday constant should be correct to within about 10%. The major error comes from the value for the current, which is hard to keep constant to two significant figures. 5
The reaction at the cathode is: Cu 6
2+(aq) + 2e – → Cu(s)
The concentration of Cu 7
2+ ions in solution remains constant. In a given time as many of these ions are produced at the anode as are being removed at the cathode.
The coating of solid copper on the cathode tends to be ‘spongy’ and some can be lost when electrode is washed or dried. Some may also have fallen off the cathode during electrolysis. Thus the mass gain of the cathode is an unreliable measure of the quantity of copper actually deposited there. 8

Minolta DiMAGE G500 Review
By Movable Type Admin
The Minolta DiMAGE G500 is the same as the Konica Digital Revio KD-510Z. Just recently Konica and Minolta merged their camera operations and the G500 is the first relabeled Konica digicam to hit the market.
The Minolta DiMAGE G500 is a very compact "pocket size" point-n-shoot 5-megapixel digital camera. It's physically identical to its Konica siblings (KD-500Z, KD-400Z) and employs the same high quality Hexanon 3x optical zoom lens, state of the art image processing hardware, and adjustability of the image contrast, sharpness and color (with adjustments for the red, green and blue channels). The user can select the ISO sensitivity (Auto, 50, 100, 200 or 400) and set the exposure manually with control of both the shutter speed and aperture. The aperture is only capable of two settings, fully open or fully closed, the actual aperture number is dependent on the lens' focal length. The shutter speeds are very flexible from 1/1000 sec all the way out to 15 seconds with many intermediate steps. Long exposures will benefit from automatic noise reduction that's applied to the image after capture.
The G500 can use Secure Digital (or MMC) and Memory Stick cards at the same time. The G500, Konica KD-500Z, KD-400Z and KD-310Z are the only cameras -not- made by Sony that use Memory Sticks. It is not Memory Stick Pro compatible so only original Memory Sticks, 128MB or smaller can be used. You can use the new Memory Stick Select card which is a double-128MB card with a switch to select one of two memory banks. Secure Digital cards go up to 512MB so with one of each in the camera you have a respectable amount of storage space. This is a 5-megapixel camera capable of creating up to 2.5MB size images so the larger the media capacity, the better.
Overall the G500 is a good performer considering that SD and MS media is not very fast at Read or Write operations - unless using the latest hi-speed Panasonic, Toshiba or exar SD cards. From power-on till the first image was captured measured 4 seconds. This time is very dependent on the size of the installed memory card, in this case 512MB, as the cameras operating software performs memory testing during initialization; power-on responsiveness can be improved by using smaller cards, but at the obvious expense of image capacity.
We were pleased with the G500's outdoor shooting results. The lens produced sharp results throughout its 39-117mm (35mm equivalent) zoom range, with a moderate degree of barrel distortion at extreme wide-angle. Our test images were both well exposed and nicely saturated. Because of the limited flash range and 39mm wide angle focal length, you'll realize the best indoor results when shooting portraits of individuals and small groups; capturing an image of a large banquet room is beyond the G500's capability. You'll be able to include yourself in group portraits because the DiMAGE G500 is equipped with both a tripod socket and self-timer. Although it's not equipped with a focus-assist lamp, the G500 autofocus system worked surprisingly well in conditions of low ambient light, as did LCD viewfinder. Closeup macro shots with the flash were excellent as the camera "throttles down" the flash for nearly perfect exposures every time; the G500 would be a good choice for shooting close-up images of small objects for inclusion in online auction listings.
When shooting movies be prepared to wait about twenty seconds as it processes and stores the short video clips. It records audio with the motion video and as is the case with most digicams with sound capability, you can't use the optical zoom once you start recording. You can preset it before you start however. The reason for this is simple, the zoom mechanism is noisy and would be easily picked up by the microphone. Movie clip capability is nice but it will never replace a dedicated camcorder in quality, recording length or ease of use.
The battery, although small, seems to hold up fairly well if you don't use the color LCD too much. Minolta claims about 100 shots with the color LCD, and that's about what we experienced in our testing. Because the battery is proprietary and there's no other way to power the camera, I suggest that you buy a spare one; the included charger needs about 2.5 hours to recharge a fully depleted battery pack and batteries always die when you need them the most.
I give the G500 high marks in styling, durability and overall image quality. Whether you need to print big enlargements, post some pictures on your web site or attach to your email, this camera can handle it. And despite its small size, the G500 wasn't at all awkward or uncomfortable to use. At a street price of under $500 at the time of this review, the Minolta G500 represents a good value as a 5-megapixel digicam for families that want to make large prints of portraits, travel, and family events.

David Frost birdied two of the last three holes to take a four shot lead into the final round of the MCB Tour Championship in Mauritius after a five under par 67 at Constance Belle Mare Plage.
The South African, who was runner up to Tom Lehman last year, is looking for his second win over the Legend Course after capturing the MCB Open in December 2010, defeating Roger Chapman in a play-off.
On that occasion he took a two-stroke lead into the final round, but had to eagle the final hole to take the tournament to a play-off before clinching the title on the second extra hole.
He will be hoping it proves to be more comfortable this time round after carding six birdies to move to 13 under par 131 for the tournament after crucial birdies on the 16th and 18th holes pulled him away from the chasing pack. But the 53 year old is wary of the dual threat posed by American Tim Thelen, who matched his 67 to lie four shots back in second position on nine under par 135, and Englishman Barry Lane, who posted a 66 and is a shot further back on eight under par 136.
“I played steady golf today and hit a lot of good shots out there today,” he said. “I really played well. I missed a couple of short putts but made some long ones, so it all evens itself out.
“I’m in a good position going into tomorrow and I just need to hit keeping those good shots and hold the nerve together.
“My swing feels comfortable though. You have to just stay in the moment.
“Every tournament you win has a special time and place for you and obviously I’ve won here before. If it gets to that and I win again it would be great. Barry and Tim are both great players. It is easy for me to think about them, or them think about me, but we all just have to focus on our own games.”
Thelen and Lane will also be battling to finish second on the Senior Tour Order of Merit, with Lane currently €8,517 ahead of his rival, and €12,563 the difference between second and third place in the season-ending tournament.
After three birdies on the front nine, Thelen eagled the par five 13th hole courtesy of a superb three iron approach from 221yards which rolled back to two-and-a-half feet from the pin.
“I had a much better ball striking round today,” he said. “David played unbelievable today though. Having a four shot lead, I’m not sure I can catch him. He’s playing that well and putting even better. He is a fantastic player.
“It’s a course where there can be a swing in scoring, but I’ve not seen him hit a bad shot yet.
“I’m not thinking too much about catching Barry in the Order of Merit either. For me it’s just been a great season and if it comes down to the back nine then maybe I will think about it. For me, to finish in the top five on the Senior Tour Order of Merit is a fantastic achievement. I could never have expected that at the start of the year.
“It will be a fun day whatever happens. Playing golf with David and Barry will be great – they are both great guys and great players.”
Former Ryder Cup player Lane dropped a shot on the fourth hole and struggled with his putter initially, but hit back strongly with seven birdies in his final 13 holes.
“I played really well yesterday and didn’t hole anything but today I didn’t play that well to be honest,” he said. “I started off pretty poorly and made six on the par five from the fairway, missing from four foot, and five foot on the next hole.
“I have a cross on my putter which I put on a couple of weeks ago to help get the face level, but I abandoned that on the sixth hole and sank a 20ft putt and did the same on the next. I think I was so conscious of the cross and trying to be so precise that I forgot about my stroke.
“From the eighth hole I played some pretty good stuff. I’ve got something to fight for this week. I’ve got to tie or beat Tim because if he finishes second and I finish third then he would beat me by a few thousands Euros. So it should be a good battle tomorrow. I was hoping to birdie the last so I can get into that last group and play alongside him, which will be fun.
“You also have the battle for fourth between Peter Fowler and Paul Wesselingh, so it should be a good day tomorrow. Of course you also have the tournament being contested as well and I feel like I’ve still got a chance in that.
“It’s very easy to shoot level par around here but if you get it going you can also shoot 64 or 65. I’m happy to be up there and I have given myself a chance.”
Fowler and Wesselingh, who are separated by €13,249 in fourth and fifth place respectively in the Order of Merit, are tied for fifth position in the MCB Tour Championship on six under par 138.
Australian Fowler eagled the fourth hole but double bogeyed the sixth en route to a three under par 69, while Wesselingh had the round of the day, a seven under par 65 which included an eagle on the sixth.
Double Senior Major Champion Roger Chapman, who will collect the John Jacobs Trophy on Sunday for winning the Senior Tour Order of Merit, is a shot further back in tied seventh after a round of 69. | <urn:uuid:d9891af9-6f28-4054-9489-9606a1cd1ade> | CC-MAIN-2014-49 | http://www.europeantour.com/news/printer,newsid=181656.htmx | 2014-11-23T03:44:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-49/segments/1416400379063.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20141119123259-00050-ip-10-235-23-156.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.969801 | 1,232 |
James Media Productions Taps ABonAir to Take Complexity Out of Live Production
In the past, live broadcasting came with a long list of limitations. Cost, physical size and weight, power requirements, complexity of the operation, and distance limitations all restricted the production environment. Many of the available solutions up until now have been long out of the reach of all but the few with the deepest pockets. Distance and mobility issues have also added to the challenges of today’s ever changing live broadcast market. The marketplace had solutions that in some cases may have met a customer’s requirements, but they were expensive and difficult to setup and operate in ever changing broadcast locations. After exhaustive research, James Media Productions, an international broadcast company, found ABonAir.
Recently, a customer came into a James Media Productions mobile unit with the facilities house engineer and wireless expert. This customer was considering the purchase of a wireless system for permanent installation at their stadium and wanted to see the image quality side by side with a wired camera. The “experts” looked at the images side by side, on scopes, split screen and zoomed in. After their testing, they determined the wireless image was pretty good but they still thought the wired camera image was superior.
There was a moment of silence and shock when James Media’s engineer told them that they actually were identifying the image coming from the ABonAir 420 system as being the one with superior quality to the wired camera system. To prove the point, the receiver was switched off and they saw the superior image disappear from the screen. An NBA client called the ABonAir image the Best they had ever seen in their arena when their system from another manufacturer malfunctioned (for the third time, in two years), and James Media provided an ABonAir 420 system. James Media arrived at the arena with a system and within 20 minutes, they were all setup and ready to go for the game that night.
Wireless transmission faces a myriad of hurdles to deliver a high quality images in a world where the available frequency windows are always shrinking. ABonAir has innovated the use of MIMO technology and provides very affordable, very high quality products which include features that other manufacturers may offer but at a cost of up to double that of ABonAir. ABonAir 420 system could not be simpler to operate and does the link setup automatically, no matter where you are. Manually link setup options are also available for situations where the user would like to do so. With operating frequencies being in unlicensed space, there is no worry about restrictions from location to location either. A typical use is in a large stadium of 60,000 seats (or more), and normally includes no more setup than placing two antennas inside the stadium and connecting them to the truck through single-mode fiber. Turn the system on and let it do the rest.
James Media uses the system at distances of up to greater than a mile from camera to receiving antenna, and finds the ABonAir system to be very reliable.
The reliability of the system is complimented by the outstanding image quality. The ABonAir 4-wire Intercom, and IFB option, are compact in size, lightweight, have low power consumption, which are far better than that of any ABonAir’s competitors’ products.
At the end of the day it’s not just about the price, convenience, quality, reliability and ease of use that ABonAir provides. It’s about the entire solution, which means providing the customer with the best product and support for their needs. | <urn:uuid:cdbbbbd1-adcc-486a-9ff6-ab5efdf84ea2> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://www.sportsvideo.org/2015/08/07/james-media-productions-taps-abonair-to-take-complexity-out-of-live-production/ | 2024-02-21T05:55:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473370.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240221034447-20240221064447-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.968802 | 735 |
I just read this on Reddit:
So another war has started, don’t care who is to blame or who started it. What I do know that having rockets thrown at you is scary as hell. I’m liking the direction this war/conflict is taking. There hasn’t been many Palestinian causalities so far, and I’m loving the Iron dome (hopefully you will one day develop the technology that can stop every rocket). Hopefully it stays this way and doesn’t get any bloodier. Also, I hope the IDF won’t do half a job and perhaps take over Gaza again, I think Israel did a mistake giving it back…
Anyways, why do I as a Palestinian share this opinion? Well, I’m sick of all this. I truly am. Sure Palestinians voted for Hamas, but had they known the suffering Gazans had to endure, they probably wouldn’t have voted for hamas. Besides, it’s not like Hamas benefited Palestinians in any way in the past years. Israel initiated the blockade on Gaza, Hamas made tunnels that’s now controlled by them (like a mafia). See what I hate about this situation is the status quo, if Israel leaves Hamas alone, Gaza would remain under blockade for many years to come, and Hamas would still control tunnels using taxes earned to get rich or send of a couple of rockets every month to Israel as a sign of ‘resistance’. Perhaps getting rid of Hamas and taking control of Gaza might get us closer to peace.
I know the majority of Israelis want peace, but sadly you’re government is controlled by extremists as well, when they continue to expand settlements. I just hope I’ll be able to see peace between us before I die (I’m 22 now, so hopefully there’s time).
If you have any questions for me, don’t hestitate to ask.
The comments to the post are also very interesting, with the palestinian writing:
Grandfather from Nablus, grandmother from Jaffa or Akka. But they lived in Haifa most of their lives until 1948.
I don’t know about you, but if somebody’s born in a country (Lebanon) and lived in it for 22 years can he/she still count as a refugee? Hell, even my father was born in Lebanon. The refugee status was given to me because of politics. Even Israel naturalized Palestinian refugees, Arabs on the other hand not only didn’t naturalize Palestinians, they put rules that specifically discriminate against us. You do realize that a Palestinian is better treated in Israel than in most Arab states?
Who can rescue Palestine? Hamas? Fatah? Arabs? All these have fucked us more than anyone. The solution has to come from the inside. If Israel can eliminate Hamas, than so be it.

How Sun Microsystems Fans the Flames of Employee Passion
How does an organization like Sun Microsystems create a
workplace where employees love to come to work? Bill MacGowan Chief Human Resource Officer for Sun
Microsystems, was gracious enough to share some of their best practices.
He told me that they value and appreciate good, smart people
who enjoy change, innovation, and other people. “ Leadership at Sun has been successful at creating a real
meritocracy. We allow people to speak their minds, and not be afraid to learn
from failure.” One of the key
elements in creating workplaces where employees love to do their best work is
to listen to their ideas and give them freedom to act.
I was impressed
by that statement as I’d just worked with an executive of another organization
who was particularly harsh on employees any time an idea failed, and he
wondered why employees seemed less willing to participate and make new
I asked Bill how Sun developed so much of the loyalty that I
had heard their employees express. He spoke about Sun’s flexibility. “ We
appreciate that people do their best work in different ways, so we allow our
employees to work from home when possible. If an employee doesn’t need to make
the commute but they prefer not to work at home, we have satellite centers
where they can work that are closer to their homes.”
That made sense to me since so much time spent on the road
is wasted and interferes with either personal time or productivity time.
Their flexibility, plus their fitness center, childcare, and
the way they use technology encourages life balance. I asked him how he set the
example for everyone else. He told me that he works hard during the week so he
can enjoy weekends. His collects rare books, is a sports fan, loves movies, opera,
travel and enjoys his role on non-profit boards.
on to tell me that executive leadership supports diversity and inclusion and
both are integrated into their business culture, from the Board of Directors to
employee orientation where a message is delivered from the CEO. I’ve found that too many organizations
speak about diversity and inclusion but their succession strategy does not
reflect it. At Sun, they find and nurture high potential candidates at every
level who may not be visible, rather than restrict development to certain
levels of management.
Like other organizations Sun has Employee Resource Groups
that represent different employee population segments, but unlike some other
organizations they view these resources groups as crucial to their business
success so they fund them and include them in their overall business strategy.
One-way to gage how employees feel about their workplace is
by how they treat people when lay-offs are unavoidable, and what ex-employees
say after they leave.
At Sun they encourage remaining employees to keep in contact
with people who have left as opposed to employers that discourage any contact
and treat laid-off employees like pariahs. Bill informed me that there were
even networks of ex-employees who support each other. Eighty percent of people that leave want to come back and
many have been hired back when there were new openings.
I know that these are stressful times for Sun employees as
the merger process continues with Oracle. Time tables change, no one knows
exactly what will happen to their jobs, or where they’ll be a year from now,
but they have a strong culture, believe in treating employees like adults and
providing them with information, and there are leaders like Bill MacGowan who
take the time to listen to concerns, appreciate employee brilliance and support
them as they continue in their work. | <urn:uuid:6bc4a6ba-34ef-443b-bd56-c16e428670bf> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.fastcompany.com/1464064/how-sun-microsystems-fans-flames-employee-passion | 2020-07-07T02:48:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655891640.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20200707013816-20200707043816-00147.warc.gz | en | 0.96899 | 781 |
The Brigham and Women’s Brain Tumor Service specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that affects the brain and other parts of the body. It affects about one in every 36,000 people in the U.S.
What Is Von Hippel-Lindau Syndrome (VHL)?
Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome is caused by a flaw in one gene, the VHL gene, which regulates cell growth. This flaw, for which the cause is unknown, leads to the abnormal growth of blood vessels in certain parts of the body. Instead of growing and spreading out normally (like a tree), in patients with VHL, the blood vessels grow into clumps. The disease is also characterized by an increased risk of developing the following types of tumors:
- Hemangioblastomas of the central nervous system - benign (noncancerous) tumors made up of nests of blood vessels in the brain and spine
- Hemangioblastomas of the retina
- Pheochromocytomas – a neuroendocrine tumor, usually benign, within or outside of the adrenal gland
- Renal cell carcinoma - cancerous tumor of the kidney that occurs in about 70 percent of individuals with VHL
VHL may also impact the pancreas, inner ear, and reproductive organs (in men and women).
How Is VHL Diagnosed?
Detection of the type of tumors specific to VHL is critical to properly diagnosing the disease. For individuals who have a family history of VHL, detection of only one type of tumor specific to VHL may be sufficient to make a diagnosis. For those patients without a family history of the disease, at least two types of VHL tumors should be identified to confirm a diagnosis. Genetic testing also may helpful in diagnosing the disease.
How Is Von Hippel-Lindau Syndrome (VHL) Treated?
Although there is no cure for VHL, the associated tumors can be treated. Early detection and treatment of tumors significantly improves a patient’s diagnosis. Left untreated, VHL may result in blindness, permanent brain damage, or death. Depending on the location of the tumors, our neurosurgical specialists may also collaborate with urologists, ophthalmologists, endocrinologists, and other physicians.
Hemangioblastomas of the central nervous system
Microsurgical treatment of hemangioblastomas of the CNS is often ineffective, as the tumors tend to recur after surgery. Stereotactic radiotherapy, a safe, non-invasive method for shrinking tumors, may present a better alternative. It has been shown that small- and medium-sized tumors don’t tend to re-grow after this type of treatment.
Hemangioblastomas of the retina
Hemangioblastomas of the retina are typically treated with a laser.
Renal cell carcinoma
Depending on the extent of the disease, renal cell carcinoma may either be treated with nephron-sparing surgery (removing the tumor while sparing the unaffected portion of the kidney) or a radical nephrectomy (removal of the whole kidney).

April is a very busy month on our farm, we started out the month doing some initial tillage in our fields and setting up high tunnels. In May well plant our high tunnels with heirloom tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and eggplants — but first we have to sure up the greenhouse plastic and till the soil, we have over a half acre of high tunnels so this is a big job in the early spring.
Every time the weather breaks we take the opportunity to plant our veggies. Our last frost date isn’t until the end of May but there’s a surprising amount of seeds that can go into the ground before that. Spinach, Carrots, Beets, Parsnips, Chard, Radishes, Spring Turnips, Arugula, and Mustards are all in the ground now or will be by the end of the month.
We also grow a lot of plants out from transplants. This is the time to put in Broccoli, Cabbage, Boc Choi, Lettuce, Kohlrabi, Fennel, Parsley, Kale, Collard Greens, Escarole, and Napa Cabbage.
It’s also time to plant next years Strawberries – This year’s crop looks very good by the way!
On rainier days there’s plenty to do in our greenhouse. This winter we added on to our existing seedling house but we’ve filled up the new space without a problem – we transplanted all of our peppers and eggplants into bigger pots, and of course we seeded by hand hundreds of flats of transplants.
Our first CSA distribution isn’t until the second week of June but we have some storage veggies all ready for the boxes. For our first few weeks, we’ll have in addition to some of the crops I already mentioned: Carrots, Sunchokes, Beets, and some pretty pink turnips.

Sept 29, 2010 (LBO) – Sri Lanka’s stock exchange has approved the issue of new shares and attached warrants by Hotel Reefcomber to raise cash to revamp the hotel, a statement said. Hotel Reefcomber, which owns the Amaya Reef hotel on the southwest coast, plans to consolidate 10 shares to one and then sell a rights issue of two new shares for every existing one.
It has 157.3 million shares in issue.
The firm plans to sell 31.4 million shares at 25 rupees to raise 786 million rupees to refurbish the hotel.
The rights come with equity warrants that give the holder the right to buy a new share at a specified price in the future.
Reefcomber intends to give away four warrants with each new rights issue, two of which are to be exercised in 2011 and 2012 at 30 rupees each, and the other two to be exercised at 40 rupees each in 2015.
The stock exchange approval is subject to shareholder approval of the issue, according to the letter of approval released by the hotel. | <urn:uuid:0e478ab2-b139-4531-a089-a91a0c3dbcda> | CC-MAIN-2021-17 | https://www.lankabusinessonline.com/sri-lanka-hotel-share-warrants-issue-approved/ | 2021-04-21T17:21:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-17/segments/1618039546945.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20210421161025-20210421191025-00470.warc.gz | en | 0.955989 | 222 |
The Red Bluff Police Department announced Wednesday it would begin enforcing trespassing laws on a piece of property located at Walnut Street and Baker Road that is frequently used by all-terrain vehicles.
In a press release the department said it had been contacted by several residents in the area in regards to the constant off road traffic of dirt bikes, quads and four-wheel drive vehicles that recreate in the hills of the area.
The Tehama County Air Pollution Control District has also investigated complaints regarding the amount of dust in the air.
The property crosses over parts of Bidwell Creek and runs parallel to Red Bluff Union High School.
The property owner has authorized the police department to enforce trespassing laws on the property.
The release said the department will, effective immediately, begin advising of trespassing violations and all persons in the area could be subject to arrest or citation.
"The police department understands that this property has been a popular location for trail riding enthusiasts; however, we are asking for cooperation from the public regarding compliance with the request of the property owner," the release said.

These buns are to die for.
Homemade “Rotiboy” Mexican Coffee Bun
There’s a popular bake shop that started in Malaysia called “Rotiboy“. Their signature product is the Rotiboy bun which is a sweet Mexican butter bun baked with a crisp, coffee-flavored topping. Rotiboy got so popular that they were able to aggressively expand throughout Asia. Many copycats also popped up, but the original Rotiboy is the best.
Hooked on Rotiboy
The last time we were in Malaysia, the cousins brought over a few Rotiboy buns for us to try. I took one bite, and was hooked! I loved how the sweetness of the bun balanced against the saltiness in the butter and the slight bitterness of the coffee.
I quickly gobbled my bun up. Unfortunately, there weren’t many Rotiboy buns to go around so I was left craving for more. The Rotiboy slogan says it all: “One is never enough!”
Annie wanted to learn how to make a Rotiboy bun at home and came upon a few recipes. This one comes close.
“Rotiboy” Mexican Coffee Bun Recipe
(makes about 17 buns)
Coffee Topping Ingredients
200 g softened butter
160 g icing sugar
3 lightly beaten eggs
2 tbsp instant coffee dissolved in 1 tbsp water
a pinch of ground cinnamon
200 g flour
Beat the butter and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Gradually beat in eggs. Mix in coffee flavoring. Sift flour onto mixture and mix until combined. Refrigerate the mixture.
Sweet Bun Dough Ingredients
500 g bread flour
20 g milk powder
75 g castor sugar
6 g salt
8 g instant yeast
5 g bread improver (vital wheat gluten – optional)
1 lightly beaten egg
270 g water
60 g softened butter
1. Mix flour, milk powder, sugar and salt in mixer on low speed 1 min.
2. Add in yeast, egg and water. Mix on low speed for 1 minute, then medium speed for 8 minutes.
3. Add butter and mix for 5 minutes more on medium speed until a soft, smooth and elastic dough forms.
4. Remove dough from mixing bowl and shape into a ball.
5. Divide the dough into 55 gram portions. Roll each portion in to a ball and then cover and set aside for 10 minutes.
6. Flatten a ball of dough and place a 10 gram cube of butter into the center of the dough.
7. Gather the edges and pinch to seal. Pat into shape and place on a greased baking tray. Proof the buns for 45 minutes.
8. Preheat oven to 200*C (400*F).
(Notice that we’re using the wrappers from sticks of butter to line the baking sheet. Annie learned this tip from Fine Cooking magazine. The butter wrappers are like pre-greased parchment paper!)
9. Scoop the topping mixture into a piping bag and pipe the topping in a spiral pattern onto the buns.
10. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the buns are lightly brown.
Remove from oven to cool, but not too long. They are best eaten warm. Can’t eat just one! | <urn:uuid:1e6a208f-a815-4c32-962e-91b365a1a3e2> | CC-MAIN-2014-41 | http://www.houseofannie.com/rotiboy-mexican-coffee-bun-recipe/ | 2014-09-20T07:54:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-41/segments/1410657133033.29/warc/CC-MAIN-20140914011213-00235-ip-10-196-40-205.us-west-1.compute.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.935783 | 718 |
Rdio (pronounced arr-d-o) is now available in the UK bringing yet another music-streaming service for you to try or appraise.
The newest player on the block, it hopes to take on the likes of Spotify, Deezer, WE7, and others to convince you that its the one you should be using.
We look at some of the differences between the king of the pile and the new challenger, to see what's what.
At the time of writing (3 May 2012) Rdio comes with a seven-day free trial that allows you to enter a few details or your Facebook login and get going straight away. The service is easy to setup, web-based so you don't have to install anything, and doesn't require your credit card. After the seven days you will have to pay a subscription if you wish to carry on listening to music. The Spotify service can be used free of charge forever, because there is no cut off time.
With Spotify, if you want to sign up to the 30-day free trial of the Premium version it does require your credit card from the start. If you opt for the free model you don't have to give you credit card details, but you will have to listen to adverts and be limited to some of the features you can access.
In both cases you will need a Facebook account to register for Spotify.
How much do they cost?
If you are willing to pay both offer £4.99 and £9.99 subscription packages. Both £4.99 packages give you only web or desktop access on your computer. If you want to play music on your mobile device, such as your phone, the iPad, Sonos or Roku, then you'll have to upgrade to the £9.99 package.
Both services can be used abroad, although Spotify does limit its free version to just 14 days - more than enough for that holiday you are planning.
What can I play my music on?
Spotify supports a number of platforms: PC and Mac, iPhone, iPad, Android, Windows Phone 7, BlackBerry, Symbian and even Palm. You can also get Spotify on the Sonos music system.
For Rdio the list is just as big. You can get Rdio on your browser, PC and Mac, iPhone, iPad, Windows Phone 7, BlackBerry, Roku, and Sonos, but Symbian and Palm users miss out (they are dying platforms anyway).
Rdio's ability to play the service through a browser is its biggest feature for us, especially if you want to use the service at work and aren't allowed to install any additional "non-approved" software on your computer. You will need to have the browser window with the player open though.
Spotify and Rdio also let you download music to your mobile device for offline listening. Handy if you are about to board a flight or know that you won't have the internet where you are heading.
What features do they have?
The features the two music services offer are very similar. Both let you create playlists, both let you search music in their catalogues, and both have a very strong focus on the social elements of music sharing and discovery.
Rdio's Twitter-like follower approach is a lot easier to grasp straight away, but once you understand the social elements of both there isn't much between them. Both let you share what you are listening to, both let see what others are listening too.
It's very much like the difference between choosing Canon over Nikon for your DSLR, you'll soon know by playing with both for seven days which one you like, and because both offer you free trials you can do just that.
Where Spotify wins out is its new apps feature. Recommend listening by magazines services really are good and helpful, as are apps like Moodagent that play music according to the mood you set it. Rdio doesn't have anything like this.
Who has the best music catalogue?
This really comes down to who you listen to, but on the whole we've found that Spotify is more likely to have what you want. That's an incredibly sweeping statement, however on a very rough test of searching for artists in the two services we found for us, Spotify has more.
We searched for everything from Queen, to Bob Dylan, The White Stripes, The Presets, Rolling Stones, Eric Serra, and many more.
Interestingly Rdio opts to list the tracks even if it doesn't have them, while Spotify just returns a blank result.
Of course Rdio has tracks that Spotify doesn't have and vice-versa. If you want to listen to Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon you'll have to sign up to Rdio for example.
As with all competing services this is likely to be the case time and time again as the record companies sign exclusives. There isn't much you can do about it sadly.
Both have notable omissions like The Beatles and a lack of movie soundtracks beyond what is in the cinema right now.
If you are restricted in your ability to download any physical software on the on which machine you plan to listen to your music, then Rdio's web browser interface is the one for you. It's really easy to use and great if you are someone that likes music, but wants to be able to fire it up on other machines - say at an internet cafe.
Rdio's music catalogue is good, but for us still lacking, especially from a UK perspective.
That's likely to change over time, but for now, unless you are desperate for a few tracks from Pink Floyd or Bob Dylan, then Spotify will probably suit you better.
Combine that with a wide range of ways to listen to Spotify and the wide range of apps within the service to boost your listening experience, for now Spotify is still the one to go for.
What do you think?
Let us know how you get on with the two different services and what you like about the different services. | <urn:uuid:165cad10-5493-48ce-8900-020eae083351> | CC-MAIN-2017-51 | https://www.pocket-lint.com/apps/news/spotify/115348-spotify-vs-rdio-which-is-better | 2017-12-17T21:38:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-51/segments/1512948597585.99/warc/CC-MAIN-20171217210620-20171217232620-00189.warc.gz | en | 0.968665 | 1,246 |
A Shark Tank entrepreneur wrecks his car at the inaugural Ferrari Challenge at Daytona International Speedway, leaving his car dinged up but keeping him relatively unscathed.
Robert Herjavec, a millionaire buisnessman and star of ABC’s reality showShark Tank, was involved in a wreck on the track’s 3.56-mile course when he was hit from behind on the seventh lap, The Associated Press reported.
After the Shark Tank entrepreneur wrecked the car, he was taken to the infield care center and was treated and released.
“thx everyone 4 your concern-medical released me-rammed from behind- frustrated but OK-car should be OK for race (hash) 2 tmrow,” Herjavec posted on his Twitter page.
Robert Herjavec is the architect of several companies, including the fastest-growing technology company in Canada, Herjavec Group. Along the way, the first generation immigration from Yugoslavia amassed a fortune of more than $100 million, his personal bio says.
Aside from his business ventures and writing his best-selling book, Driven, the Shark Tank entrepreneur is an avid sportsman. He is a noted runner and golfer, having completed the New York City Marathon and played in several charity golf tournaments including the Mike Weir event at the Canadian Open and the Wayne Gretzky Nationwide Tour Pro-Am.
News that the Shark Tank entrepreneur wrecks his Ferrari isn’t too surprising for those in racing circles. He is an aggressive driver, having competed in the Ferrari Challenge Series across North America. In his first year, Robert won “Rookie of the Year” for the Ferrari Challenge Series by a two point margin.
The news that the Shark Tank entrepreneur wrecks could have been a lot worse. Not only was he unhurt, but Herjavec also thinks his Ferrari will be ready to race again soon. | <urn:uuid:7f7f47d5-3f5f-4a3a-bd54-5a203cb84573> | CC-MAIN-2014-15 | http://www.inquisitr.com/496094/shark-tank-entrepreneur-wrecks-ferrari-at-daytona-race/ | 2014-04-16T04:31:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-15/segments/1397609521512.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20140416005201-00275-ip-10-147-4-33.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.971237 | 396 |

Making Controls That Display Text, Numbers, and Dates
source for the form. If a form’s record source is the Customer List table in
the database for a business, one text box may have the ID field as its
control source; the text box displays the contents of the ID field in the current
record of the Customer List table.
A control’s name usually is the same as its control source, but not always. You
can have a text box named TextBox123 for which the control source is the
Selling Price field in the Products table, for example. Giving your controls
the same names as the fields that they display is good practice, though, and
cuts down on confusion. When you drag a field from the field list to the form,
Access usually names the new control after the field that it displays.
Making Controls That Display
Text, Numbers, and Dates
Face it: The most important information on most forms and reports is text.
Pictures are interesting, but text (including numbers and dates, which can
be displayed as text) usually is the heart of the matter. Access has several
types of controls that display text on forms and reports, including the
✦ Label controls: Display fixed text — text that isn’t based on the record
that you’re displaying on the form
✦ Text box controls: Display information from fields in the record source
of the form, or calculated information
✦ List box and combo box controls: Display drop-down menus of values,
usually for a field in the record source
This section describes how to create and format labels and text boxes. For a
discussion of combo boxes, list boxes, and option buttons (radio buttons),
see Chapter 3 of this minibook.
Making and editing labels
Every form has a title on its object tab, which you can set by editing the
Caption property of the form (as described in Chapter 1 of this minibook).
But you may want some other titles on the form, including explanations of
how to use the forms, headings for different sections of the form, and labels
that apply to the controls for specific fields. (Labels are unbound fields; they
don’t take their information from a table.)
For reports, you use labels wherever you want to display text that doesn’t
come from the record source, such as the report title, the date, instructions,
or any other text that’s not stored in a table. (For more formatting options
that are available for reports, see Book V, Chapter 1.) | <urn:uuid:b07b8b26-ead2-4e10-8e49-2e7fee027a41> | CC-MAIN-2018-30 | http://jabsto.com/Tutorial/topic-69/Microsoft-Access-2013-351.html | 2018-07-23T04:21:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-30/segments/1531676594886.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20180723032237-20180723052237-00178.warc.gz | en | 0.88839 | 561 |

I'm the researcher that brought the privilege escalation issue to Sergey's attention. I'll be releasing more details soon following the assignment of a CVE, but the issue revolves around the --url option, which permits the ability to write to arbitrary files. Combined with maidag being setuid root by default, the issue can lead to arbitrary command execution as root.
If you can't upgrade to mailutils 3.8 there may be a few other options.
1) The issue itself is nullified if maidag is not set as setuid. If you don't require the setuid functionality of maidag, you may want to run a `chmod u-s /usr/sbin/maidag`. Some distros strip the suid bit during installation of mailutils, so it could be that the 'flaw' is not a flaw at all for you, which can be verified with a `ls -l /usr/sbin/maidag`.
2) If you do need the setuid capability of maidag, you may be able to get away with changing the user ownership of maidag to a non-root user that's less risky.
3) It may be possible to address the issue in code by turning off setuid when utilizing the --url parameter. I think this can be handled in the following (untested) way:
In maidag/maidag.c you will find a code block like:
/* FIXME: Verify if the urls are deliverable? */
delivery_fun = deliver_to_url;
My guess is that if you add a block like the following in that case statement, you will effectively mitigate the issue.
int user_user_id = getuid();
setreuid (geteuid(), getuid()); | <urn:uuid:bcaf4209-3c5f-4fe3-849f-8088d733812c> | CC-MAIN-2019-51 | https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-mailutils/2019-11/msg00003.html | 2019-12-05T20:58:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-51/segments/1575540482038.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20191205190939-20191205214939-00206.warc.gz | en | 0.87691 | 369 |

In his coming book, Testosterone Inc: Tales of CEOs Gone Wild, Christopher Byron chronicles the tumultuous lives, both public and private, of four controversial and high-living US executives. But there on the cover, perched in a sultry pose atop a Mount Rushmore of Jack Welch, Ronald Perelman, Dennis Kozlowski and Al Dunlap, is a provocatively dressed, cigar-clenching blonde.
Her presence has not gone over particularly well with the lawyers for Welch, the former chairman of General Electric.
In mid-March Dan Webb, a lawyer for Welch, called Byron's publisher, John Wiley & Sons, and asserted that the stiletto-shod blonde bore too close a resemblance to Suzy Wetlaufer, the former editor of the Harvard Business Review and the woman for whom Welch left his wife. (The fact that of the four men on the cover only Welch had a lipstick kiss imprinted on his forehead might have spurred the connection.)
Webb did not indicate that Welch would take legal action, according to Heather Florence, counsel to Wiley, but he did say that use of the woman's photo was "unfair".
The woman was simply a model, Florence said, and the publisher altered the photo credit to say: "Female model used for illustrative purposes only."
Welch said in a telephone interview on Friday, "We are not involved in this". But Webb, a partner at Winston & Strawn in Chicago, is unhappy with other aspects of the book. After reading a copy of the manuscript, Webb said he had counted "41 statements that are completely false".
"I have never seen a publication that paid so little attention to the truth," he said in a message left for a reporter.
David Boies, a lawyer for Perelman, the chairman of Revlon, has asked to see a copy of the book to "have the assertions 'fact-checked". Boies added that on Friday, Wiley said that the author had tried to interview Perelman but he had rejected the request and that it was too late to fact-check the book.
Robert Barnett, a lawyer for GE, has raised some questions about comments in the book that were used in publicity materials. Wiley has not heard either from Kozlowski, the former chief of Tyco International, or Dunlap, the former head of Sunbeam.
Byron, the author of Martha Inc., said he was unperturbed by the complaints and defended his reporting. "In business, CEOs put up these elaborate defences to keep people from getting a look at them," Byron said. "They believe that: 'I am entitled to present a version of my life and have it accepted as factual and truthful just because I presented it'."

Rally Today: Market Preps For Major Earnings And Data
Stocks are jumping for the second day in a row. The SPDR S&P 500 ETF (NYSEARCA:SPY) is trading at $138.42, +1.52 (+1.11%). This strong move up is coming prior to major economic and earnings news in the next 24 hours.
Today, after the markets close, Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG) will report earnings. Wall Street estimates expect a profit of $9.64. The whisper number is for a profit of $9.87. This is the first major technology earnings report of the season and will shape the action tomorrow. Last quarter Google took a major hit after disappointing Wall Street.
Tonight, China will report its GDP numbers. There is a rumor on the street that they will be better than expected. This is likely the cause to the rally today. Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE:CAT) is surging as well which gives credence to the rumor on China GDP. CAT is very reliant on strong China growth to excel.
Tomorrow morning, the first major bank will report earnings. JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM) is expected to report earnings of $1.17 wit\h a whisper number at $1.20.
As it stands now, China GDP will be of great importance for the entire global economy. In addition, the technology sector and financial sector will be rocking one way or another. While often quiet on a Friday, tomorrow should be very exciting. | <urn:uuid:a0dcccd2-05f1-453b-8bed-5e34316f8197> | CC-MAIN-2015-11 | http://caps.fool.com/Blogs/rally-today-market-preps-for/726351 | 2015-03-03T04:45:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-11/segments/1424936463108.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20150226074103-00325-ip-10-28-5-156.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.934147 | 320 |
This ignorance is part of a general myth, aided by programs like "Mad Men" and such twisted accounts as Howard Zinn's People's History of the United States. According to these shows and books, the 1950's was a decade of American rapacity, sexism, war-mongering, profiteering and mindlessness. In fact, that decade saw a flowering of literary talents that has not been equaled since. J.D. Salinger, Saul Bellow, Vladimir Nabokov, Ernest Hemingway, John Steinbeck, Isaac Bashevis Singer, Philip Roth, John Updike published important books in the 1950's, and in 1952 Ellison put himself on the map with his own Invisible Man, a powerful narrative delivered by a black man who calls himself invisible because he walks unnoticed through the white world.

As mentioned in Tuesday's news briefs, there's an interesting story doing the rounds today about (the ruins of) a newly discovered step pyramid that predates the construction of the Great Pyramid. What I found particularly interesting is that the pyramid was one of seven pyramids scattered around Egypt, all of which did not have a funerary purpose:
Scattered throughout central and southern Egypt, the provincial pyramids are located near major settlements, have no internal chambers and were not intended for burial. Six of the seven pyramids have almost identical dimensions, including the newly uncovered one at Edfu, which is about 60 x 61 feet (18.4 x 18.6 m).
The purpose of these seven pyramids is a mystery. They may have been used as symbolic monuments dedicated to the royal cult that affirmed the power of the king in the southern provinces.
"The similarities from one pyramid to the other are really amazing, and there is definitely a common plan," said Gregory Marouard, a research associate at the University of Chicago's Oriental Institute who led the work at the Edfu pyramid. On the east side of the newly uncovered pyramid, his team found the remains of an installation where food offerings appear to have been made — a discovery that is important for understanding this kind of pyramid since it provides clues as to what they were used for. | <urn:uuid:c09a4754-ff66-421a-9a42-c3340aab2ecb> | CC-MAIN-2015-06 | http://www.dailygrail.com/Hidden-History/2014/2/Mysterious-Pyramids-Predate-the-Great-Pyramid-Were-Not-Constructed-Burials | 2015-01-25T18:16:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-06/segments/1422115861305.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20150124161101-00001-ip-10-180-212-252.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.978752 | 271 |
TORONTO – The Canadian dollar fell Monday as traders digested results from the Bank of Canada’s latest survey on businesses optimism.
The loonie dipped 0.18 of a cent to 93.66 cents US.
According to the central bank’s summer outlook, executives gave generally positive responses across a number of questions but, in most cases, confidence levels dropped from the spring survey. Most also remained cautious on investment and hiring.
The bank’s analysis was that businesses have not materially changed expectations from the spring.
The survey is one of the ways the central bank gauges how the economy is faring. It relies on a summary of interviews conducted with senior management at about 100 Canadian firms on topics such as demand and capacity, and how they view future economic activity.
April’s survey showed that there were some signs of improvement for exporters, with businesses saying that they had a positive outlook based on a strengthening U.S. economy and a depreciation of the Canadian dollar.
The Canadian dollar is entering the second half of the year around the 94-cent US level, close to its highest point for 2014 so far and much to the discomfort of the country’s exporters.
Those elevated levels could be tested Friday when Statistics Canada releases June employment data. The agency is expected to report that about 24,000 jobs were created last month compared with 25,800 in May, with the jobless rate remaining unchanged at seven per cent.
Ian Nakamoto, director of research at 3MACS, said the loonie could fall if the figures do not come in as expected.
Analysts observe that the dollar’s rise from 89 cents US earlier in the year is due to a number of reasons, including rising inflation, data suggesting the outlook for exporters is improving, a better American economic climate and rising oil prices.
“The net CAD (Canadian dollar) position has shifted net positive for the first time since February 2013, highlighting that finally sentiment towards CAD has turned favourable, removing a major weight against CAD,” said Camilla Sutton, chief FX strategist, managing director, Scotiabank Global Banking and Markets.
“The net long position… is very small, but it is not the size but the shift to a more balanced outlook that is important.”
Meanwhile, commodity prices fell, with the August crude oil 53 cents lower at US$103.53 a barrel.
August gold bullion fell $3.60 to US$1,317 an ounce while September copper lost two cents to US$3.26 a pound.

THE island province of Guimaras, some 15 minutes boat ride across the Iloilo Strait from Iloilo City, takes pride in presenting its new tourist spots and attractions, courtesy of investors who truly believe in the tourism potential of the island.
“Guimaras takes pride in its golden fruit, the sweetest mango in the world, but our island province is surely home of other exciting exotic tourist spots developed and invested by entrepreneurs who believed in the province,” tourism officer Angeles Gabinete said.
A group of Iloilo-based media practitioners are set to discover the secrets of Guimaras on July 4-5 in a media tour of newly developed attractions and natural spots that made Guimaras a truly mysterious area for the adventurers and nature lovers.
Dubbed as the “See, Write and Talk about Guimaras,” the writing assignment will be assisted by the Guimaras Provincial Tourism Office and Governor Samuel Gumarin in bringing to global and national attention what Guimaras has to offer.
First stop of the media tour will be the Guimaras Wonders Farm operated by Rose Gresier. The farm is a newly developed integrated agri-eco tourism destination in the island with young but ready to bear fruit plants and trees.
Second stop will be famous Sapal Weaving Village. The tour participants will get to observe the people of the village make a difference by churning out beautiful and colorful bags and baskets as their way of life.
The third stop will be at the specialty Pitstop Restaurant owned by Eugene Torrento that serves several tempting and mouth watering mango-based dishes.
The media group will have an overnight rest at the Neptune Pittman’s Garden Resort and Spa, which is home of exotic plants and flowers collected by the owner in different parts all over the world.
After breakfast the next day, the media group will go to the Trappist Monastery to see the first all-men monastery in the country and see the monks produce and process fruits and vegetables.
The group will proceed to Camp Alfredo to see the many sports facilities inside the camp, such as the 375-meter-long zipline, high rope obstacle course, including vine walk, micro lo, Burma log, Burma bridge and rappelling.
The group will cap its tour with a lunch at the Raymen Beach Resort, a well-known tourist destination for its blue water, rustic ambiance and panoramic view. They will discuss their observations and outputs. (Lydia C.

I am sure that most Moms had a special treat for mother's day. Be it a dinner, a weekend getaway, or a trip to a spa and salon. What special treat did you get Mommies?
We went to Robinson Mall last Saturday, hubby and kids bought me a gift. I snapped the photos below while we were driving by.
Jen invited us to go Red Lobster with them but we chose not to. With two kids in tow, it would be hard.
We attended mass and visited my MIL's grave today, that's how we celebrated mother's day. We spent the rest of the day playing at our backyard, and I cleaned up our chandelier till 11 pm whew. I just now got done with it. | <urn:uuid:d141b73e-38be-4477-baf9-35f98cfa20bb> | CC-MAIN-2017-17 | http://www.mycountryroads.com/2011/05/on-eating-out.html | 2017-04-28T04:26:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-17/segments/1492917122739.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20170423031202-00577-ip-10-145-167-34.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.975981 | 157 |
Victoria-based SilkStart today announced that it has raised a $550,000 oversubscribed seed round, led by Canadian accelerator HIGHLINE and a group of U.S. and Canadian angel investors.
Like most modern B2B startups, SilkStart provides a SaaS offering to service the day-to-day business needs of its customers. However, in an interview with BetaKit (the audio of which you can hear below), SilkStart’s CEO Shaun Jamieson explained that the company’s target customer, member-based organizations like associations or not-for-profits, have vastly different needs than the traditional enterprise customer.
“I still encounter associations that have a Facebook page, that don’t have a website,” Jamieson said. “And if they do have a website it’s like I’ve gone into the Wayback Machine and looked at a website from 10 years ago.”
The result is the outcome of listening to customers and building for their needs rather than building a product and hoping to find a customer.
The lacking technological savvy of SilkStart’s customer has led the company to build and bundle a variety of SaaS products into its Association Management System (AMS), including some that can easily be found elsewhere. The result isn’t something that Jamieson expected to build, but the natural outcome of listening to customers and building for their needs rather than building a product and hoping to find a customer.
“Say I have a Squarespace website, Salesforce is my CRM, MailChimp is my email application, and Eventbrite for events, etc. – now how do I get all of those things to talk to each other?” Jamieson explained. “That’s the problem that associations were having.”
The all-in-one approach allows for member organizations to keep operational costs low by having to pay for only one service, and creates great customer lock-in for SilkStart, which is able to provide a core benefit after solving nagging problems like not having a mobile-first website.
“We see SilkStart as a platform, and the core of that platform is managing member data and member transactional data all in one place,” Jamieson said.
Of course, it’s much easier to do one thing rather than many things well, so SilkStart will be using its newfound funding to hone the portfolio of products in its AMS as the company works to build out its sales funnel.
Disclosure: BetaKit’s East and West Coast offices are housed in HIGHLINE’s Vancouver and Toronto co-working spaces. | <urn:uuid:4b868c82-e670-4792-9cf8-d37f79d7ccf8> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://betakit.com/silkstarts-new-funding-shows-it-pays-to-listen-to-your-customers/ | 2019-11-20T10:58:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496670535.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20191120083921-20191120111921-00123.warc.gz | en | 0.963159 | 564 |
Our PPC services are known to deliver a must faster Return on Investment (ROI), however once your Google Ad campaign ends, you will notice a significant drop in business. PPC is the acronym for Pay-Per-Click advertising, a.k.a Google Ads. A lot of big businesses utilize both SEO and PPC so that they can go head-to-head with their competition. The honest truth based on real statistics is that about 35% of visitors will click on these ad links and the other 65% will avoid them. So this is all based on preference of what the client feels most comfortable with. | <urn:uuid:6d4c8156-e608-4bfa-ae7f-723bd53697e9> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://advancedvisionart.com/google-ads-campaign-ppc/ | 2022-01-27T12:04:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320305260.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20220127103059-20220127133059-00059.warc.gz | en | 0.970451 | 126 |

Zuckerberg, Illegal Immigrant DREAMers Will Code Together in FWD.us 'Hackathon'
The advocacy group formed by Facebook mogul Mark Zuckerberg to promote comprehensive immigration reform will hold a "hackathon" with illegal immigrant "Dreamers" next month in an attempt to shine a bigger spotlight on the issue.
FWD.us, Zuckerberg's group that has employed consultants from Washington's bipartisan ruling class to establish a footprint in Washington, will team up with famous coders for the event. Zuckerberg himself will be one of the participants.
Dropbox's Drew Houston will be another coder at the event, which will reportedly address "the problems within our immigration system." LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman will host the hackathon at his company's Mountain View, California headquarters on November 21 and 22.
Fwd.us president Joe Green said his group would work with the the "Dreamers" to "get the projects up and running.
"There's been a lot of delay and too little action coming from Washington this month. We hope that momentum coming from our hackathon — and the technology it creates — can help move immigration reform forward," Green reportedly said.
FWD.us formed with the goal of raising $50 million to pressure lawmakers to pass comprehensive immigration reform and has pledged to run ads for lawmakers in their reelection efforts if they support such legislation. Zuckerberg met with congressional leaders last month and has spoken publicly in Washington and San Francisco about how a "Dreamer" at an after-school program he taught in a low-income neighborhood in Menlo Park, California inspired him to sway the opinions of the public and influential lawmakers on the issue.
The battle over immigration reform may intensify now that the federal government has re-opened. President Barack Obama urged Congress to pass comprehensive immigration before the government shutdown ended and immediately after the federal government re-opened last week. He even indicated he felt the legislation could be passed this year.
House Republicans are reportedly working on piecemeal legislation with the goal of eventually conferencing with the Senate, which earlier this year passed an immigration bill that includes a pathway to citizenship. Proponents and opponents of immigration reform have indicated if the House and Senate conference on immigration reform, a pathway to citizenship provision will most likely prevail in the final bill. | <urn:uuid:569905ae-fdc1-41ae-ba97-88426535cb06> | CC-MAIN-2014-41 | http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/10/18/Zuckerberg-Illegal-Immigrant-Dreamers-Will-Code-Together-in-FWD-us-Hackathon | 2014-09-20T22:26:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-41/segments/1410657133568.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20140914011213-00041-ip-10-196-40-205.us-west-1.compute.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.955781 | 463 |

Logitec PS2 Wireless Controller
Don't settle for an infrared or 900mhz wireless controller. After playing with this new 2.4 GHz system, I would NEVER play with another one.
We have three systems hooked up to our TV - a PS2, a GameCube and an XBox, plus we own a N64 and an original PlayStation. You might imagine that there are wires everywhere!! We've tried many, many wireless solutions and they've all failed miserably. We were therefore THRILLED to find that the new 2.4 GHz Logitec system was amazingly good.
Our PS2 system is off to the side, and we plugged the base unit in right on top. The actual transmitter is smaller than a pack of cigarettes. The controller is slightly bigger and heavier than a regular controller - it holds 4 AA batteries - but it's not too bad. And it WORKS! We first tested the system out on the new 007 Nightfire game. That's not a game that would tolerate slow response time or jerky controls. It was flawless. No matter which way we were twisting and turning the controller, even laying on our backs and pointing it at the ceiling as we played, it worked perfectly.
I know that most people that own gaming systems complain about the cable mess, and also that it's a pain to have wires draped across tables and getting yanked out by feet. This wireless controller makes everything SO much easier. You plunk the controller down on the table, can pass it to friends to take turns, wander around the room, and nobody is tripping and falling.
Batteries last around 50 hours of gameplay, so just get rechargeables and swap them out when you wear them down. Swapping batteries is nothing compared to the great freedom from wire mess that you gain.
Highly, highly recommended for ANY PS2 owner out there. I love this thing. It works with the original PlayStation and PS One as well. Now I can only hope they come out with one for the GameCube and XBox!!

There is a vast pool of many good names in the world to select from: Quentin, Maya, Mihai, Max, Yechazkel, Didier, Cyrus, Myron, Robert, Gur, Duncan, Bernard, Philippe, Raphael, Piotr, Andrei, Linda, Lorenzo, Bruno, Alina, Stan, Dean, Flavia, Lea, Maria, Harry, Shaiy, Zukia, Espen, Justin, Aaron, Neil, Reid, Claudia, Janet, Chidem, Ralph, Jesse, Elie, Katinka, Avital, Spiros, Stefan and Jim.
So why then we must ask have several followers of this mass migration expressed a difficulty in separation of the one Gabriel Orgrease from the other Gabriel Orgrease?
We do not get it. No more, no grok.
We do not get it. No more, no grok.
I spoke with Etidorpha about this during our last fortune telling session, the one with the red Face-from Mars slate cards, and she urged that I cannot let any confusion of affairs as to names of things, beasts and inanimate rocks stand upright for very much longer. Clarity is gold coin. Something she saw in the slate cleavages about 'the great mountain bumps the humble badger into the fetid sump pit'.
First off, to be absolutely clear, this confusion is by no means meant to evoke a mental bifurcation of an obfuscate threshold for a slough reader’s inverse comprehension.
It is well known that characters in real life, round or fat or square or flat and comic burlesque with white Santafied beards, as well as in fiction should have alphanumeric paroxysms that distinguish themselves and keep the commons skunk-wind clear as to their verifiable identity. Otherwise characters in the mind of the audience flow together and appear to be one amorphous mass of flashiness and sloppy amoebic body fluids sloshed around as if in an antique mop bucket, one of those pre-yellow plastic galvanized ones and then those strange sounds in the night that cause one to hold their nose in the eructation of half-sleep. The poor dog in our lives traumatized shivers and tries to hide underneath the couch. Utterly despicable, uncouth, anti-social behavior even when you keep it scat be-bop willy to yourself. Though there is a contrariety viewpoint of the Manureist School of social economics that identity cannot be thieved away if everyone has the same post-industrial cookie cutter avatar. That is, if everyone is identical in name and number and mug then how possibly can they be confused in their bank accounts and credit cards? We can always position one indecipherable culture, with the H. Bosch or their funky hippy ideogram black inky stick figures, against another and call it a neutered none-nuts from the A shelter -- peace sign waver, school voucher.
Gabriel P. Orgrease passes the checkout at the Handi Pantry solely in commemorative mint quarters carried in a small burlap-linen bag woven and then sewn for him with his initials embroidered in hand drilled wampum beads by Etidorpha. It is a habit he adhered after he read an audio biography of P.T. Barnum. It is not over until the Fiji Mermaid sings was the post-memetic gene of the day on the billboard. But, though since I am the real and original Gabriel Orgrease I need to point out that there is a distinct and obvious difference between us.
Etidorpha knows her brother well enough, we would think, a fact that she has often expressed to me with a modest tinge of perplexed regret and I cautiously ever so cautiously inform her that it is not my problem to worry about her sometimes difficult relationship with her brother... and she knows me well enough as her friend, and his friend, making me in turn their friend, or a friend of the family Orgrease and as these things go I am a brother of sorts in spirit, if one can isolate a sprite like a puff of breath in a test tube like Thomas Edison’s last breath, or, more aptly an unofficial adopted to the family even though I have my own officiated branch of an Orgrease family, with a sister Pamela and a nephew Pamela and an aunt Pamela and a cousin Pamela, and an Uncle Sirius, thank you very much. But I don’t mind, really, just saying.
Etidorpha never gets us confused and why should you?
The Orgreases of all persuasions are prolific in body but short on imagination when it comes to what awf-godful names to stick to their children. That paucity seems to go equally for both branches ever since that between-brothers issue over the Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon and the argument that came up at the stone pub on that stormy bog-wet night about whose dirty face it was impressed upon the linen rag hung on the towel rack in the celestial loo.
Though we all understand from the anecdotal heresy that way before the crossing of the wide water the one branch of the family devolved into a clan of apocryphal know-nothing stonemasons and the other evolved into a breed of arrogant scribes with magical elfin pen nibs. But we really do not need to get into that heuristic episode of separation in the great tree-of-life as it brings up a whole host of bad memories across the most resplendent broadness of the rainbow of transsexual humanity.
It is very simple to distinguish the difference between us. My name is Gabriel P. Orgrease and his name, that friend of whom I often write to inform you of his misanthropic adventures and grand outhouse escapades, along with his sister Etidorpha, is Gabriel P. Orgrease. To make matters even simpler, it is to be known that Etidorpha E. Orgrease, wherein the E stands for Eel after her great-great-grandmother on her mother’s side.
Quite simply, and the distinguished characteristic is that my P does not stand for the meaning or impression or depth of the water of the river of his P. Total distinction in the patrimony of P.
That is how you can make the erudite distinction and it is much more telling, and/or foreboding than the size of our exposed foreheads and anterior appendages of bulbous psychic protrusions or the distinct shape of our respective ears, his being twisted and mine being, let us say, ridiculously anterior to the effect that he can wear a workmen’s hat and I rarely more than a blue tie-dyed cotton head scarf. We both wear titanium glasses to great affectation though GO is known to smoke a finger-wax patinated corn cob with cherry toback and a pinch of primitive boo. Though, if you feel confused by readi-made Shangri-La labels and headwear, intimidated by the guess of gear, then all you need to do is whisper and see which one of us can hear you as he, that other GO, due to his congenital malformation cannot hear a treadle traddle quite as well as I.
This should conclude and provide to the curious a succinct explanation as to why Gabriel Orgrease is always asking, “What?”

The author introduces young readers to rich vocabulary, a variety of forest animals, and plants in a variety of colors. Baby Bear wakes up in his den and creeps out toward the sun and, when he does he sees... yellow. Mama and Baby Bear explore their forest home, from the green leaves on the trees to the brown trout in the water, and discover a world full of color. Strawberries, butterflies, a thunderstorm, and finally a rainbow fill this colorful adventure until Mama and Baby Bear are back home, safe in their den.

The food court in our neighborhood mall was renovated last year and new food stalls that serve Thai, Indian, Lebanese and Korean food have joined the older kiosks. The ambience in this food court is warmer, and everything is sparkling clean. This is why it has come alive with more office people, retirees, and everyday shoppers who like to nosh and quaff and indulge in their favorite pastime: people-watching.
But the verve and dynamics that happen in this food court isn’t the purpose of this blog post. In a roundabout way, I wanted to say that my brother and I took our usual Wednesday off from the gym and went to the food court for lunch. We tried this salad and sandwich stall. I forget the name. They offer the popular concept of three salads with a sandwich. I saw this orzo salad that I had never tasted before and chose it with two other salads (tabouleh and Ceasar’s).
Orzo – as I understand it – is Italy’s answer to rice. If it has to be translated, the best one would be “barley.” In North America, we put it in the pasta class, despite its rice shape, but it is made of semolina wheat.
I hadn’t bought orzo before but after that first taste in the food court, I decided it would be included in my “repertoire” of dishes. I liked the taste. So off I went to my Greek supermarket (which also generously stocks up on Italian products) and bought a small bag of orzo.
Blame it on poor photography skills, but the words above the Colavita image says “from the fields of Molise.” Looking up Molise in Wikipedia, it’s a small region in the south of Italy which made news back in 2002 when the earthquake struck. Molise used to be part of Abruzo but is now a separate entity, and has a population of 300,000. Tourists are attracted to the region for its tranquility and mountainous character. “A gentle pace of life” is how Wikipedia describes it. I was hoping to find something about how they grow orzo in the fields but no such luck.
This Colavita brand is a dream. I’ve seen other orzo brands that looked like arborio rice or flat barley. This brand makes for a “manageable” salad. I say manageable because once I had mixed in the ingredients and poured the vinaigrette, they came apart beautifully. No sticky or gummy texture.
I looked up some recipes on the Internet (there’s a truckload) and settled on an orzo that’s made with ingredients typical of Greek salad: feta cheese, kalamata olives, red wine vinegar, bell peppers and cucumbers.
Result? ah, mamma-mia! If I hadn’t reminded my brother that we’d leave some for dinner later, he would have cleaned the whole casserole. He savoured every spoonful, hardly looking at me and unable to make small talk. He was totally focused on those morsels. So was I. When my brother likes something I make, it shows. Of course I don’t have to say that it inspires me even more to explore recipeland on cyberspace.
The trick to this Greek orzo salad is to drain the orzo completely after it’s cooked and then set it aside to cool. I put it in the fridge for maybe an hour or two. Another trick is to thin-slice your vegetables and to pit your kalamata olives and cut them into small pieces so that you don’t smother the orzo – delicate enough as it is – with large pieces of the ingredients. It has to stand out, and not get buried down by the other ingredients. Notice how tiny the other ingredients are in the pictures below.
I loved this so much I went to the trouble of looking for the recipe again on the Net so I could leave a thank you note. It was posted by Shaina Olmanson of Minnesota who runs her web site called Food for My Family.
Here’s Shaina’s recipe (from: http://foodformyfamily.com/recipes/greek-orzo-pasta-salad)
Greek Orzo Pasta Salad
16 ounces orzo pasta
3 medium tomatoes
2 cucumbers peeled
1/3 green pepper
1/3 red pepper
1/2 medium red onion
4 ounces pitted kalamata olives
8 ounces crumbled feta
1/3 cup olive oil
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons oregano
1-1/2 teaspoons basil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Cook pasta to al dente according to package directions. Drain and rinse pasta with cold water. Refrigerate until cool. Dice tomatoes and peeled cucumbers. Thinly slice peppers and red onion. Drain kalamata olives. Add vegetables and feta to large mixing bowl and stir to combine. Mix in cooled orzo pasta.
Whisk together olive oil and red wine vinegar. Mix in oregano, basil, salt and pepper. Pour into pasta and stir to combine. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Makes a lot. I’d halve the recipe if it was just for our family dinner.
(note: I took her advice which I highlighted in bold. I cut the recipe in half, using only a cup of orzo, and it filled my casserole to the brim!). So if you’re feeding one other person and like to have leftovers, 1 cup of orzo is plenty. Be sure to use half of the quantities mentioned above). | <urn:uuid:56fb1a67-4979-4a9c-a69e-93f51114feee> | CC-MAIN-2015-22 | https://sotsil.wordpress.com/2010/02/06/italian-orzo-turns-into-greek-salad/ | 2015-05-25T03:09:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-22/segments/1432207928350.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20150521113208-00132-ip-10-180-206-219.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.951428 | 1,216 |

A cross-party group of MEPs has called on the Tunisian Government to decriminalise homosexuality and respect minority rights.
The European Parliament’s intergroup on LGBTI Rights were told by activist Yamina Thabet that gay Tunisian men and women continue to be prosecuted, despite Tunisian’s new constitution guaranteeing civil rights.
Yamina Thabet, a medical intern, who has received death threats as a result of her activism, told MEPs that the Tunisian criminal code still classifies homosexuality as on offence, carrying with it a three year prison sentence. This is in stark contrast to the optimism that emerged in Tunisia after the Arab Spring, and Tunisia’s 2014 Constitution requiring that human and civil rights to be respected.
Yamina Thabet from ATSM (Association Tunisienne de Soutien des Minorités) said:
“Even though Tunisia is praised as the region’s most progressive country, human rights violations continue to take place every day”
“Why are (presumed) homosexual people still jailed, based on evidence gathered in ways which violate the constitutional right to privacy? Why are invasive anal tests still commonplace, even though torture is expressly forbidden? How can a country in which there is now a constitutional right to freedom of expression and association ban the activities of a Non-Governmental Organisation (SHAMS) which is working to enforce these rights? ”
“One of the main improvements of the revolution is that we can criticize this, inside Tunisia as well as outside. Freedom of speech is considered one of the most important freedoms, that has given our association the possibility of fighting this fight, and asking since 2011 for decriminalisation of homosexuality.”
Ian Duncan MEP, who invited Yamina to Brussels after a visit to Tunisia in November, commented:
“Tunisia has made great strides in recent years, and is rightly proud that the ‘Tunisian Quartet’ was awarded the Noble Peace Prize just a few months ago, but there is much work left to be done.”
“Prosecuting individuals for who they are is never acceptable, and the Tunisian constitution recognises that. It is time for the justice system to catch up. I discussed this important issue with the Tunisian Prime Minister last year and will continue to press for the Constitution to be respected.”
“The EU has an important role to play, indeed just next week we are debating the latest stage in the proposed EU-Tunisia free-trade deal, and I want the LGBTi community in Tunisia to know that constitutional rights mean nothing unless they are respected”
In January 2011 the President of Tunisia, Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, left office after a period of civil resistance. In the following years Tunisia began the journey towards democracy, and the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to the ‘Tunisian Quartet’ in 2015.
One of the key developments was the creation of the 2014 Constitution. It has been hailed as the most progressive constitution in the Arab world, guaranteeing key civil and political rights. These include the rights to freedom of expression and association, the right to freedom of assembly; the right to bodily integrity and to fair trial and freedom from arbitrary detention and torture.
However homosexuality continues to be criminalised under Article 230 of the Penal Code.Posted in: Intergroup documents, Press releases, Recent news | <urn:uuid:c8314b01-93b5-4f08-b477-786f6a8777f3> | CC-MAIN-2016-30 | http://www.lgbt-ep.eu/intergroup-documents/meps-call-on-tunisia-to-decriminalise-homosexuality-and-enforce-post-revolution-constitution/ | 2016-07-29T05:54:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-30/segments/1469257829972.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20160723071029-00034-ip-10-185-27-174.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.950295 | 703 |
The versatility of the Ficep product line is further exhibited with the Type D angle and plate systems that provide such additional capabilities as plasma cutting and a CNC controlled flat stock shear with a programmable cutting angle to accomplish clipping and miter cuts, for example, in the most cost-effective manner.
Structural steel work requires a huge number of plates and details designed for use as base plates, gusset plates, fin plates, stiffeners and many other connection plates. These plates are generally thick and almost always punched, perforated and cut to shape. Sometimes there is a need to automatically marking the component. The D4 – D8 make it possible to process very thick plate carrying out several operations in a single pass.
The basic versions have punching capability with either 4 or 8 1100kN punch stations. This is combined with a 2200kN rotating shear unit for cutting 510 mm wide by 25 mm thick plates. Flats slide on an idle rollerway and are moved by a CNC controlled carriage and pincher.
Hydraulic horizontal and vertical clamps tightly keep the material in the working position.
The fully optional lines of the Tipo D4 and D8 include the possibility to have both flats and angle working units on the machine at the same time. This option includes a separate punching unit with 2 punches for the vertical leg of the angle bar. | <urn:uuid:649dc80e-6e9b-455f-99cd-11cd290b01fa> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://www.ronmack.com.au/products/metal-work/by-brand/ficep-cnc-line-for-angle-flatbar.aspx | 2018-05-21T05:32:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794863949.27/warc/CC-MAIN-20180521043741-20180521063741-00162.warc.gz | en | 0.926814 | 284 |
Volunteering is good for the soul. It improves your mood, lowers stress, and helps give you a better sense of meaning in life. It’s also a great way to meet people and engage with your community if you’re new to a city like Chicago.
These are a few of the most fulfilling volunteer opportunities in Chicago.
Chicago’s public school system is overcrowded and underfunded as a whole, but its low-income students are the most disadvantaged. Only about two-thirds of these students go on to attend college and even fewer finish their degrees. That’s where Minds Matter comes in. This nonprofit aims to help motivated students who are at a disadvantage get accepted to four-year universities. The program has been a major success, with every single student being admitted to college each year so far. Minds Matter takes volunteers to act as mentors and test prep instructors for a period of at least one academic year, although they prefer three-year commitments. Sessions are held on Saturdays and volunteers are expected to show up at least 80% of the time. There are no specific requirements listed to become a volunteer, although you should be comfortable presenting a high school-level curriculum to a group with confidence.
PAWS has been at the heart of Chicago’s animal welfare system since it was founded in 1997. The rescue’s adoption center in Lincoln Park is one of the first places most Chicagoans go to look for a new furry family member. There’s also a clinic on the west side of the city where low-income families can bring their pets for medical services such as spay and neuter surgeries.
This is one of the most popular volunteer opportunities in Chicago, so sometimes the waitlist to become an active member is a few months long. However, once you’re accepted and complete a training session, you’ll be able to sign up for shifts in the dog or cat wing of the adoption center. Tasks might include caring for the animals, cleaning cages, and introducing eligible candidates to families looking to adopt. Stick around for long enough and you could even be promoted to more senior levels with mentorship opportunities.
One reason PAWS is so popular among volunteers is that it’s a great opportunity for those who want to own pets but can’t because of their living situation. If you find yourself wishing you could bring a dog or cat home with you, it might be time to reevaluate your lease. Apartment companies like Blueground make it easy to find pet-friendly apartments through the filters on their website.
The Chicago Park District is the largest in the U.S., with 600 parks spanning 8,800 acres. These parks aren’t just made up of grass; they also include 26 miles of lakefront beaches with dozens of swimming areas. Anyone in Chicago that loves being outdoors can take advantage of these public spaces on their own or sign up for recreational activities like sports teams, fitness classes, and summer camps.
Managing all of these community spaces takes quite a lot of manpower, which creates plenty of volunteer opportunities in the Chicago parks. At the conservatories, you could find yourself caring for plants or working as a beekeeper. Those with a knack for public speaking might enjoy becoming a tour guide. There are also many long and short-term openings for stewardship over specific areas, including community cleanup days.
More than 25% of children in Chicago are overweight or obese, significantly higher than the national average of 17%. Purple Asparagus is trying to fix that with its nutritional education program, Delicious Nutritious Adventures. The program is a monthly classroom experience that teaches students how to make a simple healthy recipe, such as carrot tacos. Tens of thousands of children have gone through the program since 2011.
Purple Asparagus relies on volunteers to run its program, so there is a wide range of opportunities available. Classroom instructors and assistants work directly with the children to lead programs. There are also needs behind the scenes in developing curriculum and fundraising. If you’re looking to donate a specific talent, the organization is always open to help in creative and administrative areas.
The poverty cycle is an unavoidable topic in Chicago, and disadvantaged women often find themselves unable to break out of their situation. Dress for Success is an organization that began on Chicago’s South Side and has now become global. Its main purpose is to give impoverished women professional clothing and the confidence that they need to get a job and secure financial independence.
At a basic level, Dress for Success is always seeking donations of professional clothing. However, if you’re able to give your time, the Suiting Program is a great opportunity to mentor women as a stylist or makeup artist. The organization’s career center seeks volunteers to critique resumes and conduct mock interviews. To get even more involved, become a mentor or speaker on topics where you have expertise.
As its name implies, the Cradles to Crayons mission is to provide low-income and homeless children with everything they need to succeed from birth to age 12. Donations of clothing, toys, books, and other essentials are collected and distributed in the form of care packages that are tailored to each individual child.
Chicago volunteer opportunities with Cradles for Crayons fall into two main categories. First is the Giving Factory, or the large donation center where items are inspected, categorized, and divided into packages. Second, the organization encourages community volunteer work, namely organizing drives to collect items for donation. The Cradles to Crayons website provides ample ideas and resources for how to organize a successful drive.
Whether you’re hoping to meet new people, get more fulfillment out of life, or simply give back to the community, there are plenty of organizations in Chicago that need your volunteer hours. These are just a few examples, so if nothing on this list appeals to you, try looking for opportunities through Chicago Cares. This organization connects local nonprofits in need of volunteers like you. | <urn:uuid:a546783a-e45e-414c-8261-91e0d929f21b> | CC-MAIN-2020-50 | https://blueprint.theblueground.com/neighborhood-advice/volunteer-chicago/ | 2020-12-01T14:23:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-50/segments/1606141674594.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20201201135627-20201201165627-00117.warc.gz | en | 0.961221 | 1,232 |
