From an early age, Sage Cotignola sensed the importance of the mythologies and narratives that serve as the undercurrents of our lives. Whether it takes the form of a fairy tale, a work of literature, an epic tale embodying the hero’s journey or even the preconceived notions that run through our unconscious thoughts, the narrative form has always shaped the way we interpret the world and understand our place in it. This idea is central to Sage’s philosophy as an artist, and has led to her unique style that marries the practice of illustration with that of fine art.
In 2014, Sage graduated from Pratt Institute with a degree in Illustration. Her time there expanded her interest in storytelling, especially in the symbolic visual cues utilized by artists across cultures and vast expanses of time to represent powerful moments of emotional resonance and poetic truth. In particular, Sage’s visual vocabulary takes cues from Japanese woodblock prints, Medieval European painting and contemporary mediums such as children’s books, all of which often favor allegory rather than realism to illuminate fundamental aspects of reality. In this way, the ambiguous becomes visually concrete, creating an experience in which the fantasy space of the work becomes “truer” than reality. In Sage’s own paintings a muted yet rich color palette, the consistent use of non-linear perspective and a cast of creatures that clearly inhabit their environment contribute to an atmosphere of a fantasy world that can be believed. Sage’s use of gouache paints both nods to the tradition of meticulous art-making by hand, and allows for a level of detail and matte flatness that further enhances the presence of the imagery.
The confusing or painful experiences of everyday life, when presented as a legend or a fairy tale, can shine a new light on the issue and open new paths of perception. Sage pursues this goal in her work, both for herself and for the viewer. Sometimes she presents a pre-existing narrative in a new way, introducing a twist that prompts a re-examination of a story that was previously set in stone, and raises an eyebrow at ideas that are taken for granted due to repetition throughout history. Sage also often represents her own personal experiences as fantasy, thereby introducing an element of objectivity and creating a trail of breadcrumbs for herself and her viewer to follow to a moment of understanding. Ultimately, Sage believes that in order to explore the ideas that lie below the surface of our cursory understanding, the thinker must be excited and engaged no matter what the subject matter - be it joyful, reflective or grim. She hopes that her audience will be compelled to wander the twisting paths to join her in her offbeat mental landscape. Everyone loves a good story.
Sage Cotignola lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. She is originally from the East End of Long Island.

Hampton, NH - August 14, 2019 – Massage Chair Wellness, Inc, a nation-wide provider of full body massage chairs, is pleased to announce today, that it has been awarded the prestigious A+ Rating from the Better Business Bureau (BBB); the organization's highest possible accreditation grade. The A+ Rating is only awarded to select businesses; those that have demonstrated over the course of three years, the highest in business practices, ethics and standards.
"While Massage Chair Wellness is proud to have achieved this rating, our aim is to provide the type of service to our customers necessary to maintain the A+ Rating, over time. As a consumer", said Alison Kras, President of Massage Chair Wellness, "I personally appealed to the services of the BBB in order to obtain a satisfactory outcome when I was let down by a local business. And, that is when I realized the importance of the services and the substantial role BBB plays on behalf of consumers nationwide. Trust is critical, which is why the first action we took after incorporating our business, was to look to the BBB in New Hampshire, to take whatever steps were necessary to ultimately attain the A+ BBB Rating." | <urn:uuid:05ca4c89-d3ee-4e12-9429-c5d8d92a5236> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.massagechairsgiveback.com/blogs/news/a-bbb-rating | 2023-10-01T23:19:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510941.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20231001205332-20231001235332-00320.warc.gz | en | 0.971939 | 248 |
I never developed good eating habits or had any sense of portion size as I was always thin as a child and young adult. After gaining weight in my 30s & 40s, I tried everything – Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, diet meal delivery services, fasting… I had trouble sticking to it and the weight loss was too slow and/or little to even measure. Nothing was sustainable or easy to manage or even fit into daily life.
The decision to go to Dr. Chhabra’s Medical weight loss program New Jersey was the best decision I’ve made in a long time. She and her staff were incredibly supportive and knowledgeable about the weight loss and optifast process. The message is really not only about losing weight but changing the way you eat and live so that you are not constantly dieting. Dr. Chhabra is not only kind and compassionate but is incredibly well informed about every aspect of the process. She gave me so much information about specifics such as calories in & out and exercise, and also what kind of foods are better, keep you satisfied and how metabolism contributes to weight loss. Everything was completely personalized and made all the difference between using a commercial weight loss program and her approach. It fit into my schedule and day to day life so that I didn’t have to fit my life around dieting. I’ve never felt better, I’m not hungry, I’m sleeping better, and so far I’ve been able to continue following her recommendations. | <urn:uuid:ddcf57cb-b85e-4f7d-8049-ea1833020bcb> | CC-MAIN-2022-27 | https://mdslim.com/marnie-40-pound-lost/ | 2022-06-27T03:31:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-27/segments/1656103324665.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20220627012807-20220627042807-00418.warc.gz | en | 0.981503 | 311 |
VOSTOCHNY SPACEPORT, April 27. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin who earlier on Wednesday arrived at the Vostochny spaceport to watch the first rocket launch has decided to stay there until the prospects of the launch scheduled for April 28 are clarified, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
"The president has decided to remain at the cosmodrome until the moment when the prospect of carrying out the launch in 24 hours is clarified," Peskov said.
The president plans to use this time to hold a detailed discussion and meetings on the issue of the second and third stage of the spaceport’s development and the construction of the town of Tsiolkovsky, he added.
Putin arrived in Blagoveshchensk, the administrative center of the Amur region, on Wednesday morning and later traveled to the spaceport. The Russian leader has been informed about the work of the cosmodrome.
Just several minutes before the launch scheduled for 5:01 a.m. Moscow time the automatic system canceled the liftoff. | <urn:uuid:28f6d23b-90bc-4e58-ac63-7f33bcf3ff09> | CC-MAIN-2018-30 | http://tass.com/politics/872623 | 2018-07-23T00:40:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-30/segments/1531676594675.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20180722233159-20180723013159-00244.warc.gz | en | 0.941897 | 220 |
Team Romney is off to a rousing start like a steam roller going full speed and the media and team Obama is shaking in their boots and it shows. In High Point, North Carolina,10,000 people showed up to greet Romney and Ryan while Biden only drew a crowd of 600. Another 10,000 showed up in Florida. So many showed up there that the handlers couldn’t keep track of the people they had to turn away. Let’s hope they can keep up the momentum. In Chicago Obama, had another fund raiser (what else does he do?) and they only charged $51 and he couldn’t fill the place. You know the dems are getting desperate when they invite Jimmy Carter to their convention to speak via video.
Meanwhile Obama still clinging to his rigid leftist ideology making the rounds saying he stands for “a new America where prosperity is shared.” In other words he’s still for sharing the wealth and spreading it around. He was speaking in Iowa to farmers stricken by the drought conditions there and said republicans were being obstructionists in standing in the way of blocking a farm bill that would help the farmers. I saw part of his speech and he was stuttering and stammering without his teleprompter saying foolish things like, “ We’re going to buy food from you farmers ,and uh, uh, freeze it, and uh, we have a lot of freezers and save it to distribute to people who need it.” I couldn’t believe what I was hearing and people actually buy into this claptrap. Paul Ryan was also in Iowa to counter act Obama and said they were “promising equal opportunity not equal outcomes” which is how it should be.
Romney and Ryan are two good looking dudes with brains and brawn to match. Romney is a longtime businessman who started companies like Staples and Sports Authority and knows how to meet a budget, (something he could show Obama about since he hasn’t released one in three years now) he knows how to maintain a payroll and manage people and business . Obama has never worked a real job in his life and was a community organizer, a liberal lawyer for a short time and a senator for only 100 days where he just voted “present.” Ryan is a great looking guy with boyish looks and faithful to his family and job. Ryan has been known to sleep in h is office during the week and come home to his family on week-ends and not rent some fancy D.C. apartment at the taxpayers’ expense like so many politicians. He’s bright, articulate and can relate to the average citizen.
In my previous blog I mentioned that Romney and Ryan have to take the gloves off and show strong arm initiative and that’s just what they are doing. This is the most important election ever. It’s not just republican vs. democrat anymore but freedom vs. Government control of your life in other words freedom vs. socialism. As of now the polls are too close to consider and with the House now suing Holder over the fast and furious gun running scandal that couldn’t come at a more inopportune time for Obama. It’s going to be a close, heated election . As Rush Limbaugh so aptly recently stated, “if we were a politically informed population Obama wouldn’t stand a chance, but we’re not. We’re an emotionally charged population and therein lies the problem.” Let’s hope Romney and Ryan can overcome that. So far it’s looking great guys. 😉 | <urn:uuid:15222a99-0a9b-4cb6-aff7-b4e58e58eabc> | CC-MAIN-2018-13 | https://jayceescommentaries.wordpress.com/2012/08/14/and-theyre-off-and-running/ | 2018-03-24T02:33:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-13/segments/1521257649627.3/warc/CC-MAIN-20180324015136-20180324035136-00211.warc.gz | en | 0.980481 | 746 |

For those who love to hit the weights and enjoy seeing progress from training and eating correctly, physique competition may be the next step for you. The challenge of a bodybuilding show can channel your enthusiasm for the gym onto the stage. In order to prepare for a contest you must develop a plan that allows you to arrive at the competition mentally and physically prepared.
Most competitors need about 14-16 weeks to fully prepare for a contest. Depending on your experience level and body composition, your pre-contest time frame can vary. Novice competitors should give themselves plenty of time – perhaps as much as 20 weeks to slowly introduce the various elements necessary to succeed. This includes a solid nutrition, training and cardiovascular program, which will allow you to reduce body fat levels, while increasing muscle mass. A long pre-contest prep period will also give you ample time to practice the mandatory poses and your individual posing routine. As your experience level increases, so will your efficiency at preparing for the stage.
Some experienced athletes who stay in shape year around can be stage ready in just a few weeks. To reach this level takes time and patience. Also, once you’ve arrived at this point in your bodybuilding journey, it’s quite possible that you will be at the national level or even a professional.
The first step to prepare for a bodybuilding contest is to determine the average number of calories you are consuming daily to sustain your average daily body weight. Begin by logging your total calories and body weight daily for 1 full week.
Next, average separately the total calories and total body weight to find the average daily totals. You’ve now determined the number of calories that sustains your daily body weight. Use this daily calorie total and reduce your daily calories by 500. Approximately 50% (250 calories) will be reduced from fat and carbs and the remaining 50% (250 calories) will be burned through exercise. It’s very important that you maintain your protein levels during a pre-contest prep as this is the macronutrient that will offset any catabolic effects and help you to maintain or even increase your muscle mass. Ensure your protein levels are between 1.5-2.0 grams per lb of body weight to offset the catabolic effects of pre-contest training.
Generally, you should expect a weight loss of about 1-2 lbs per week once your nutritional and training structure is in place and consistent.
Make small modifications to your nutrition and training program to continue making progress. To lean out further you must slowly, progressively intensify your training, while reducing your total caloric intake until you are stage ready. As you progress toward the competition you will reach a level in your nutrition program where you should not reduce calories any further as you may experience counter productive results. A minimum number of calories are needed to maintain your basal metabolism. This number is different for each individual and is based on many factors including age, gender, activity levels, training intensity, etc. and can be determined through many online metabolism counters.
During the last 6 weeks you should be in full stride with your training, meal timing, and cardiovascular work. You should be looking and feeling pretty good at this point.
At about 4 weeks out from the competition, your individual posing routine should be taking shape and regular mandatory posing practice should begin.
At 2 weeks out from your show you should definitely look stage ready. Begin mentally preparing by rehearsing your final week preparations, routine and stage presence. If you follow this timeline, unhurried and sticking to your plan, you will be able to step onstage fully prepared, mentally focused and confident, knowing you have done your homework.
You will be ready to compete for the big prize!
Finally, remember that every contest is the goal attained from months and years of consistent effort. Take in as much of the competitive experience as you can that day. Notice what worked well and what didn’t. Consider keeping a journal, highlighting the significant areas of your pre-contest process and refer to it for your next contest, tweaking the areas that you know can be improved for your next show.
Good luck and have fun!

On average, about 45 people join us for our Sunday morning worship gatherings, including people from all age groups and backgrounds, a diversity that we treasure. The majority will be dressed in some form of business casual attire; many will be in jeans; some more formal; some less. We come each week excited to see each other, but we also come expecting the Lord to bring new people to our gathering, and so we look forward to meeting you.
We rent an elementary school cafeteria for our Sunday morning worship gatherings. As a result, our members spend from 9:00-9:30 a.m. turning the school into a place for worship. We connect our sound system, prepare the coffee and snack table, set up the nursery, place signs at important intersections, etc.
Every week, from 9:30-10:00 a.m., the children (ages 3+) enjoy a time designed to teach them the truth of God’s Word (CLICK HERE for more info on RBC Kids). While we do not have an adult Bible class every week, we do have such classes several times each year to address a strategic topic over 4-6 weeks. Then from 10-10:30 a.m., our people talk together, greet visitors, enjoy coffee and snacks, and the music team rehearses.
Order of Worship
Our worship gathering begins at 10:30 a.m. and includes Scripture readings, prayer, music, preaching, and the Lord’s Supper. Your children are welcome, regardless of their age; feel free to keep them with you. We do, however, have childcare available for children who are 3 years old or younger (CLICK HERE for more info on RBC Kids).
We begin with a brief call to worship, usually from the Psalms. Later, two more scriptures are included: one from the Old Testament and one from the New Testament. These are chosen for their connection to the text on which one of our pastors will preach.
Each prayer is intended for a different purpose: a pastoral prayer for the needs of our members; a prayer for the advance of the gospel in our community; and a prayer that God would use His word to accomplish His work in us that day.
We sing in order to praise our great God, to strengthen our own hearts, and to encourage each other. As a result, we choose songs to which everyone can contribute. The songs also must both accurately and powerfully communicate the truth of the Scriptures. We love both the time-tested songs of Christians long past, as well as songs written more recently.
The preaching of God’s word is the central element in our worship gathering. Typically, we work progressively through a book of the Bible. Each Sunday, one of our pastors will preach on the next section of verses. It is our prayer that, each week, God uses the preaching of His word to help us follow Christ together and to equip us, so that we can help others follow Christ with us.
The Lord’s Table
We eat and drink together at the Lord’s Table every week, and we welcome to the table all who profess faith in Christ and who have been baptized since their salvation. The Lord’s Table reminds us of Christ and how He has forgiven us of all of our sins. This weekly observance means that every Sunday worship gathering concludes with a focus on Christ and the gospel.
Our worship gathering usually finishes about 11:45 a.m. We rent the school until 1:00 p.m., however, and so we use the 12 o’clock hour to encourage each other, as we look to the week ahead. As 1:00 p.m. draws near, we begin putting away all of our equipment and supplies.

Jake Carter has admitted that he has a small crush on his dance partner Karen Byrne.
The pair are making their way to the final competition on Dancing With The Stars and they are very close.
When asked if he has a secret crush on the raven-haired dancer, Jake, 19, said, “who doesn’t?”
Their chemistry is undeniable but don't hold your breath for any romance between the two as Karen is already spoken for.
The dance teacher chatted with RSVP Live previously about her dance partner and love Wojtek Potaszkin, who she's been with for "three or four years now."
He said: "We just get on so well, we’ve really clicked. We’ve been putting in 12 hour days together so it makes it so much easier that we get on. I’ve never laughed as much.
“I’ve made a friend for life there.”
Despite capturing the young hearts of the nation, pin-up Jake has admitted he’s still “single and ready to mingle.”
The TV favourite is now the last man standing in the Dancing With The Stars competition and is up against GAA star Anna Geary and comedian and actress Deirdre O’Kane for the Glitter Ball trophy.
Not only does he have to learn three show-stopping dance routines for the grand final on Sunday night but he is also scheduled to support his brother Nathan Carter’s Dublin gigs.
Jake will be taking time out of his gruelling dance rehearsals to hit the stage of the 3Arena on Friday and Saturday night.
“We’re doing three dances. I’m just going to leave it in Karen’s hands and see what she wants to do. We’ll be putting mental hours in the studio. It is nerve-wracking as there will be a lot of tricks to learn but I’ll just have to do the best I can.”

Britain and its internal others, 1750-1800
Publication date: 7 November 2017
Britain and its internal others argues that the new emphasis on equality before the law in an age of imperial expansion was no coincidence. Common English men and women were bestowed – discursively at least – with rights and equality at the very moment that the British appropriated rights and property from colonial subjects. As Britain’s empire expanded in the second half of the eighteenth century, its law managed interactions among peoples and cultures, linking metropole and colonies in a vast imperial legal web. It was at this time that rule of law became Britain's signature ideology, and a central justification for its imperial authority and superiority. Neither at home nor abroad did the rule of law emerge neatly from abstract principles of English justice, but was instead the product of imperial contact and collision. The English legal process sustained distinctions of race, ethnicity, gender, and class before the law, creating and protecting whiteness as a privileged category. The demands of internal others – Jews, Gypsies, Africans, Catholics, and Irish – for equality before the law drew them into the legal system, challenging longstanding notions of English identity and exposing contradictions in the rule of law.
Revisiting six notorious legal events involving Britain's internal others in London's courtrooms, streets, and presses – the Jewish Naturalisation Act and the Elizabeth Canning case (1753–54); the Somerset Case (1772); the Gordon Riots (1780); the mutinies of 1797; and Union with Ireland (1800) – this study shows how contact with ‘foreign’ cultures and communities at home, particularly in London, promoted the ideology of rule of law in the service of empire.

Are you ready for Christian courtship
Their untested matching algorithms may actually exclude great Singles, people you now never meet. In and out of relationships, not realizing the damage spiritually, physically and emotionally. Yes there is the potential for your heart to be broken, but so is life. If you have participated in some form of courtship, we would like to hear your story.
How is courtship different than dating
In courtship the focus is on marriage. Keep on reading and we will do our best to answer these questions. Follow us on Facebook Below is a feed from our Facebook page. The goal of courting is to find out if one is compatible with the other person in terms of personality, liking, expectations and goals for the future. Many are determining mates before they even have the ability to be self-sufficient.
However, at some point during courtship action, the site needs to be commended for its good work but otherwise left to its own devices. They are packed full of information about courtship that makes it easier to take in through story form. Both of these books can be found in the courtship section of this website. Even if you have been dating for several years, you can start fresh again with courtship. We seem to be even losing dating.
Courtship Action instead of Swiping Left - True Love Singles
Seeing and personally feeling the results of the courtship culture makes me want to delete this website and pretend I never had it. Thus, in a dating relationship, frequently intimacy precedes commitment. Why, you have been practicing divorce for years.
Need an example of a matching dating site? In that context, you can create meaningful friendships with anyone who is safe to you. Courtship strives to answer the question, How can I honor God and discern His direction regarding my life partner?
Trying to kick against the principles contained in the information above, may land someone in darkness and gloom. Select it and click on the button to choose it. Thank God for his word of truth, dating and kissing all the answers we need concerning anything in life is found on the living word of God. They are not rules or restrictions unless you make them to be such.
The dangers of defrauding can be avoided more successfully, and an honest, open friendship can be nurtured and protected. Hopefully this one will work better than the last. Courtship is the way people used to always do it, before our Twentieth Century convenience and consumer culture came along.
If two parties have intentions to tread the path of marriage, what is wrong if their parents and mentors get to know about it? However, the sooner the better in my estimation. This is realy good, and good to know. Are you both Believers about at the same spiritual level. This is just a short outline to give you the feel on how courtship works.
To the point of spending face-to-face time with a promising Single, True Love Singles will soon offer additional meetups in selective cities. Look at people as friends, not as tempters or temptresses. We have some good discussions going on. These books lay out courtship in an easy-to-read story form.
How can I use questions as tools to discern God's direction in courtship? The problem for the woman is that a man without purpose can lead you no where. It all balls down to faith and optimism. The purpose of courting is to discover if this person is someone you could build a life with.

It has been around for less than years. She never gives him the respect he desires and in turn never recieves the loves she truly needs from him. No big news here, we know.
Yes, there are cause-and-effect principles that still operate, but it's not always a sow and reap formula. Then observe quietly and prayerfully, waiting on God. Your story will appear on a Web page exactly the way you enter it here.
We are collecting stories to be considered for our testimonies area. Of course I'm praying over this and seeking God's guidance for my life. For those interested in supporting this ministry in prayer I would like to make a need known.

The main difference between dating and courtship involves the goals to be reached by spending time with a potential marriage partner. The resources on this website will help to fill in the blanks and expound upon this outline.

It will affect your emotions, your usefulness in life and even your salvation. Not all courtships will fit in to a specific model. We have set up this site as a family-based ministry to help spread the word about courtship.

A release date has finally been set for one of my favorite new TV series to DVD and Blu-Ray, "True Blood." The HBO dramais based on the Southern Vampire Mysteries (or Sookie Stackhouse novels) by Charlaine Harris, a saga set in an unusual reality where vampires have "outed" themselves after a Japanese synthetic blood substitute called Tru Blood is introduced.
THE SERIES: Anna Paquin stars as Sookie, a telepathic waitress living in Bon Temps, La., who falls for vampire and Civil War veteran Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer) who has a steep history with the town. Besides their romance which serves as the anchor for the first season, people are dying in Bon Temps, and the race is on to prevent more victims and learn the true identity of the killer. Helping - or hampering - Sookie's efforts are her secretive boss Sam Merlotte (Sam Trammell), her womanizing brother (Ryan Kwanten), her grandmother (Lois Smith), and best friend Tara (Rutina Wesley).
Created by "Six Feet Under's" Alan Ball, "True Blood" is rich in character, mystery, social commentary and action, while viewers are treated to a fun fantasy adventure that provides edge-of-your-seat thrills. Warning: This vampire adventure is not for young viewers as casual sex serves as the main extracurricular activity for Bon Temps' residents. This collection presents the complete first season.
THE FEATURES: 5-Disc Set; Widescreen; Audio Commentary; Documentary
THE RELEASE DATE: May 19 l Pre-order it here.

After weeks of blood, sweat and tears, the final countdown to the finale has begun. With Mark out of the way, Brit chef Johnnie Mountain battles it out with American bromance Stan and Cody for the final prize of $100,000.
It’s the Brit boys vs. the American boys as chefs Cody, Stan, Mark and Johnnie go head-to-head and compete for the three finale spots that will take them to the finish line: New York City.
This week on ‘Chef Race: U.K. vs.
With only 7 chefs left, the competition is as fiery as ever! So how better to carry on with the show than by cooking with a wood-burning pizza oven in Springfield, Illinois.
Only nine chefs remain after the teams head to St. Louis, Missouri, by way of Memphis, Tennessee, where they are asked to conceptualize a BBQ sauce recipe, come up with a name and marketing package, and sell as many bottles on the road …
This week, the 11 remaining contestants report to Forth Smith Park in Arkansas. They’ll have to prove themselves by impressing the judges (and their customers!) and making the best eats on the run from a food truck.
This week, the teams head to Dodge City, Kansas, an old frontier town of the Wild, Wild West, to the iconic Boot Hill Museum.

Implementing OPCAT: Experiences from South East Europe
On 22-23 April the OSCE Mission to Montenegro and OSCE-ODIHR hosted a seminar on the OPCAT in the Montenegrin capital, Podgorica - the first ever pan-Balkan exchange on the subject. The event brought together national actors from all six countries of the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, all of which have now ratified the instrument.
|Date: ||22 - 23 April 2009 |
|Place: ||Podgorica, Montenegro |
|Purpose: ||To promote an exchange of experiences and practices concerning the implementation of the OPCAT in South-East Europe. |
On 22-23 April the OSCE Mission to Montenegro and OSCE-ODIHR hosted a two-day pan-Balkan seminar on the OPCAT in the Montenegrin capital, Podgorica. The event brought together national actors from all six countries of the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, all of which have now ratified the instrument. The discussion was widened with the participation of representatives from neighbouring European countries such as Albania, Austria, Denmark and Estonia. In total, some 50 persons attended the exchange.
The seminar also examined the inter-relationships between NPMs and the SPT and the CPT. Dr Marija Definis Gojanovich, who is a member of both monitoring bodies, attended the event in order to address this matter.
The April seminar represented the first ever pan-Balkan exchange on the OPCAT.
Although there is an extremely high rate of ratification of the OPCAT in the Balkan region, to date only Albania and Slovenia have functioning NPMs. While Slovenia has chosen to use an Ombudsperson-civil society hybrid model as its NPM, Albania has designated the former body as its national mechanism. To date, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia have yet to put in place such bodies despite the fact that the one-year deadline for some of the countries has long passed. It is therefore hoped that the exchange in Podgorica was of particular assistance to this latter group of states.
The APT also attended the two-day meeting and fed its expertise into these national processes. In recent years the organization has been involved in national discussions in Albania, Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia.

A salesman was traveling through the Kentucky country side, selling insect repellent. He came to a farmhouse and tried his pitch on the farmer.
“Sir, my bug spray is so good you will never be bitten again. I guarantee it.”
The farmer was dubious. “Young man, I'll make you a proposition. I'll tie you out in my cornfield buck naked, covered with that bug spray. If there is not a single bite on you come morning, I'll buy a whole case from you, and get everyone in the county to buy a case we will make you rich.”
The salesman was delighted. They went to the field and he stripped. The farmer sprayed him thoroughly with the bug spray and tied him to a stake. Back to the house went the farmer.
The next morning, the farmer and his family trooped out to the cornfield. Sure enough, the salesman was there, hanging in his bonds, not a single bite on him. Yet he was a total wreck! Pale, ghastly, haggard, and drawn, but not one bite on him. The farmer was perplexed.
“Son,” he said, “Now, you don't have a bite on you but you look like hell! What the devil happened?”
The salesman looked up through bloodshot eyes and croaked, “Doesn't that calf have a mother?” | <urn:uuid:1c8991af-6249-40de-9b8b-d2dca24ed9be> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://jenolan.org/2011/11/insect-repellant/ | 2021-10-22T10:38:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585504.90/warc/CC-MAIN-20211022084005-20211022114005-00059.warc.gz | en | 0.985782 | 300 |

PFF’s grades and advanced research tools bring a wealth of data and information to all types of football fans. And with that data, we can identify fantasy football value plays and potential breakouts to help provide a huge edge over your competition.
Last week, PFF ranked Lamar Jackson as the No. 2 signal-caller and advised caution with Clyde Edwards-Helaire. Byes complicate things in Week 6, but there are still some players who stand out in our Week 6 fantasy football rankings.
Note: Rankings based on PPR scoring
Click here for more PFF tools:
Target: QB Joe Burrow, Cincinnati Bengals
PFF WK6 Consensus Rank: QB8
Opponent: @ Detroit Lions
Following Cincinnati’s Week 5 loss to the Green Bay Packers, Burrow was sent to the hospital for a throat contusion. However, that’s not expected to be a factor this week. Listed as PFF’s No. 8-graded signal-caller for the season, Burrow should be fully healthy and poised to deliver another excellent outing against a moribund Detroit defense that ranks dead last in PFF coverage grade.
In all five games played so far this season, Burrow has tossed multiple touchdowns. His 11 total touchdowns on the season rank eighth, despite the fact that he's attempted only 145 passes, which is tied for 26th.
The Bengals are also dealing with a short-handed backfield, which will put more emphasis on Burrow and the passing attack. That should lead to a game script that features the second-year quarterback throwing the ball early and often against a vulnerable Lions secondary.
In addition to ranking 32nd in coverage, Detroit has ceded 24.3 fantasy points per game to quarterbacks at home this season. With his consistency at getting the ball into the end zone and a 57% chance at topping 300 passing yards, Burrow is poised to deliver elite fantasy numbers in Week 6.
Fade: QB Kirk Cousins, Minnesota Vikings
PFF WK6 Consensus Rank: QB17
Opponent: @ Carolina Panthers
Cousins was a big disappointment last week, even though the Vikings pulled off a last-second win. Before he can rebound and re-enter the weekly QB1 conversation, he’s more likely to struggle again this week, traveling to Carolina to face a Panthers’ defense that has yielded the 10th-fewest fantasy points to opposing passers. | <urn:uuid:99d2c6a2-73a9-4cec-a4e2-4e4df7d8f378> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.pff.com/news/fantasy-football-dfs-nfl-week-6-targets-fades-joe-burrow-aj-brown-2021 | 2021-10-28T10:15:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323588284.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20211028100619-20211028130619-00479.warc.gz | en | 0.956114 | 508 |

Inventory management is closely tied to business profits. With both excess inventory and stock-outs, you run the risk of diminishing your profit margins. As a result, effective inventory management is key to striking the right balance.
Most businesses are now moving towards cloud-based systems to increase their business efficiency. This is also true for inventory management systems being used for businesses these days. If you’re on the fence about switching to a cloud-based inventory management system, here are all the reasons why you shouldn’t delay it any longer.
There are many different kinds of people who run your business operations. Even if you’re the manufacturer, you still need to collaborate and coordinate with your vendors, distributors, and suppliers. All these people work together cohesively to ensure seamless operations. A cloud-based inventory system is very helpful in improving the process of collaboration between these stakeholders.
Configuration across systems and devices can be particularly challenging for a business. Cloud-based software is easy to configure and use across the board. This is especially helpful for your business if you have multiple stakeholders in your supply chain and want to integrate them properly.
Prompt Data Retrieval
Data loss is a real risk that you face when you automate your processes. Fortunately, cloud computing is the best way to mitigate this threat. Even in case of a system shutdown or data loss, you can easily retrieve all your data from the cloud and quickly be on your way to recovery.
Since everything is available on the cloud, you’re not tied to a computer or a desk 24/7. You can access the software from anywhere in the world through your credentials and successfully manage your business. This is especially important since many organizations are now working on a hybrid and work-from-model.
A cloud-based system can offer a business the agility to adapt to turbulent and changing times quickly.
Since so many stakeholders are using the cloud-based system, you can get much easier access to a lot of information. This information can be analyzed deeply, and you can get helpful insights that can help your business devise better strategies in the future.
Additionally, this software also offers detailed dashboards that can help you see how your inventory is moving to forecast properly in the future.

Trick or Treat? “Zombie” Trademarks Can Be Frightening
Coming up with unique beer names can be a frightening prospect. With so many brewers cranking out so many outstanding beers, it can sometimes seem like all of the best names are already taken. Brewers can let out shrieks of horror when a quick search of the USPTO’s trademark database reveals that the hours of brainstorming for the perfect name for a new IPA were all for naught, as the name was actually trademarked by someone else years ago.
But what about when a brewer announces that it is discontinuing a trademarked beer? Does that release the name for someone else to use?
The answer, unfortunately, is not quite. Generally speaking, a trademark can live forever so long as it is being used in commerce. If an owner stops using a trademark in commerce, it runs the risk of “abandoning” the mark; after three consecutive years of non-use, a presumption of abandonment arises. But that doesn’t automatically mean that anyone else can swoop in and register the trademark in their own name. An abandoned trademark can take on “zombie” status: not alive, but not quite dead either. An owner–or, as the case may be, a new owner–may seek to revive a previously-abandoned trademark, often to capitalize on the nostalgia created by the old mark. Or, an owner may seek to block others from using a seemingly-abandoned trademark by arguing that it does, in fact, plan on using the mark again in the future. These cases can get tricky fast.
The primary takeaway, though, is relatively straightforward: don’t assume that just because someone stops selling a particular beer that the name of that beer is once again up for grabs. You might end up getting a rock thrown into your trick-or-treat bag! | <urn:uuid:f08bbf50-9370-4129-b519-38362449a641> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://www.bowditch.com/craftbrewerylegalblog/2017/10/31/trick-or-treat-zombie-trademarks-can-be-frightening/ | 2024-03-01T20:23:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947475701.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20240301193300-20240301223300-00873.warc.gz | en | 0.937664 | 396 |

So the doctors decided today to disconnect and plug my NG tube, despite the continued high bile output. If I throw up, then they conclude that I'm not ready to have the NG tube removed. If I don't vomit, apparently I'm ready for the tube to be extracted. Sounds highly scientific, doesn't it? But since they removed my nutrition line a week ago, they have to either pull my NG tube and start me on food, or reconnect the nutrition to my port. They really don't want to do that because they still suspect it to be infected.
So today has mostly been Vomit Watch 2009. Only slightly more exciting than the hurricane tracking on the Houston news channels.
Today has been my first day without Sean. He left me in the able care of my brother Art and my friend Kate. They did a stellar job. The kids were very surprised when Sean walked into the house at around 9 am this morning. I told them to expect a very special surprise that I was sending. Trevor had 2 comments when I asked him how he liked his surprise. "It was already all put together". My little Bob the Builder apparently prefers his toys with some assembly required. Then he said "Surprises are supposed to come wrapped in present paper". So if someone out there knows the best way to gift wrap a Daddy, let me know. | <urn:uuid:2c04189c-c36c-475d-8280-ca42f2a30ebc> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://mommyandherboys.blogspot.com/2009/08/plugged.html | 2017-10-23T17:17:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187826210.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20171023164236-20171023184236-00265.warc.gz | en | 0.98425 | 276 |
Google will be holding an event this coming October 29th, and it does seem as though the Internet search giant has plenty in store for the masses then. So far, what we have heard on the street include the latest version of its Android operating system, which has been dubbed as Android 4.2 without any dessert suffix to go along with it, although there are sources that claim Key Lime Pie will be given the pass this time around, with Android 4.2+ being the preferred moniker. Heck, Google might even still stick to Jelly Bean for all we know.
Apart from that, there are whispers that Google will take the opportunity to introduce the Samsung Nexus 10 tablet (which was originally reported to arrive in 2013) as well as LG’s Nexus 4 smartphone, in addition to an updated version of the Nexus 7 tablet which has and will receive far more serious competition in its segment, including the Amazon Kindle Fire HD and the yet unreleased 7.85” iPad mini. Do you think that Google will be able to wow the masses this October 29th? | <urn:uuid:5b0683dd-ba5d-4bdd-a96b-d69970854dd9> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.ubergizmo.com/2012/10/android-4-2-nexus-4-phone-nexus-10-tablet-on-the-menu-at-google-october-29-event/ | 2016-10-28T04:26:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988721555.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183841-00355-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.974616 | 216 |
by Linda Stupart (July, 2005)
Julia Rosa Clark works with elements of throwaway nostalgia to create witty, poignant collages and installations. Her works function both to incite personal longing and to deconstruct general, though often specifically South African, cultural truths as learned through the information systems of the public education system, popular media and family legend.
Trained at the Michaelis School of Fine Art as a printmaker, Clark's media range from suitcases to paintings to skateboard ramps and pretty boys. Her most recent body of work, A Million Trillion Gazillion, involves obsessive, meticulous composites of cutouts from educational and popular cultural sources sprinkled with glitter, neon strings and UV lights.
Just back from a hugely successful show at Liste Art Fair in Basel, this young artist has consistently shown that she is capable of innovative, humorous and surprisingly delicate artworks. Her involvement in Public Eye as well as her roles as an active and skilled designer and respected teacher and lecturer place her firmly within the vibrant Cape Town art scene, and make her an influential and exciting figure therein.
"The final pieces / spaces I make usually result from a lengthy process of collecting, shredding, sorting and altering of found objects and images. This process is a kind of protective filter, a device for coping with an overload of information or emotion. The timeliness and repetition of the action allows for a rational distance to grow between myself and the subject matter.
"In earlier work, this device helped me to overcome overwhelming new sensations (such as lust or loss) and make visual analogies for these experiences. More recently, the process has opened up a way of navigating the world of information, and re- examining information about the world. In A Million Trillion Gazillion I started to develop an understanding of the changing nature of knowledge systems. My introduction to information systems took place at school - a common experience- where ideas about the world were formed through interaction with, amongst other learning material, idealised and seductive illustrated books."
"By returning to the visual coding of the classroom (such as cutting up these illustrated books), I was able to explore the humorous and tragic incongruencies of an idealised worldview with the failure and realities of our contemporary world. I tried to work the securities of childhood against the insecurities of my 21st C adult experiences. The work is usually made of cheap, dispensable materials that allows each piece to be made and remade a few times, creating a spontaneity and reflecting the action of 'figuring out' associated with graphs, charts, and classroom displays."
Clark has just taken down her exhibition of works from A Million Trillion Gazillion at the Liste Art Fair in Basel. The body of work, which was shown at Joao Ferreira at the end of last year, consists largely of obsessive constructions assembled with cutouts from illustrated children's books, polystyrene and copious amounts of glue and neon tape; all imbued with a wry nostalgic kitsch. The pieces were made with the help of a workforce of hot young art students over bottles of beer and endless showers of glitter and paper at Julia's infamous 'cutting parties'.
Clark's work I've Waited Hours For This, also known as the skateboard ramp that made Paul Edmunds' knees go shaky, was one of the most successful and memorable pieces at the 2003 Softserve show, 'YDEsire'. Incidentally, the title was taken from one of the artist's favourite Cure songs.
The collaborative installation Sleuth/Rixdollar at 'Graft' for the second Johannesburg Biennale in 1997 was an impressive (particularly considering the members of the collaborative were yet to graduate) and complex exposition of issues of security, identity and the abandoned spaces in the tumultuous South African terrain.
Though Clark does not have any specific projects in mind as yet, she is planning to return to producing installation-based works. She also plans to continue making use of her assistants in upcoming projects. Bigger, better cutting parties are definitely in store.

Trump issues new restrictions on immigrants
President Donald Trump this week unveiled a new Executive Order to temporarily suspend immigration from six countries with Muslim majorities, dropping Iraq and easing restrictions on Syrian refugees. Critics insist it is a “Muslim ban”
By Ray Hanania
The new Executive Order replaces one that was caught up in a court battle issued January 27 that suspended immigration originally from seven countries, Iran, Somalia, Yemen, Iraq, Syria, Sudan and Libya.
In his Executive Order, Trump argues that the six targeted countries (Iran, Yemen, Somalia, Syria, Sudan and Libya) are all failed states that are in violent disarray and consumed by violence. Trump argues that they are only six of 50 Muslim majority nations and therefore is not a “Muslim ban.” The president argues that the immigration systems in the six countries are ineffective in preventing individuals who might seek to engage in violence from entering the United States and provide no support to U.S. Immigration offices.
Trump argues in the Executive Order (printed in full at the bottom of this story) is a suspension until the United States immigration offices can strengthen its programs to vet applicants from the six countries.
The new Executive Order also excludes individuals who have been previously vetted by U.S. Immigration had have Green Cards, an issue that tripped up his earlier order.
Defenders of the new Executive Order argued that while it suspends immigration from 6 countries, Iran, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Yemen and Libya, it does nothing to Muslims who enter the United States from 47 other Muslim Majority nations.
Trump has argued these six nations have been identified by Former President Barack Obama in the past, and that Iran has engaged in terrorist activity and extremism. The five countries of Sudan, Syria, Somalia, Yemen and Libya are in total disarray run by dysfunctional governments that cannot control their own borders.
The new Executive Order takes effect on March 16 which gives immigrants now in the system 10 days to prepare.
Also, Green Card holders will not be blocked during the SUSPENSION of immigration.
The order also suspends the nation’s refugee program for 120 days. Trump set a 50,000 refugee limit per year, down from the 110,000 cap set by the Obama administration. Supporters wonder why critics of the order have not attack Obama who implemented the original refugee limitations.
American Arab organizations reacted in protest, issuing statements condemning the new ban.
The Arab American Institute (AAI) called the new Executive Order “still a Muslim ban,” saying that the intended targets are Muslims.
President’s Revised Executive Order is Still a “Muslim Ban”
Today’s new Executive Order, “Protecting The Nation From Foreign Terrorist Entry To The United States” changes nothing about the discriminatory nature of President Donald Trump’s attempt to ban individuals based on their faith and country of origin. We only need examine the words of the President’s Senior Adviser, Stephen Miller, who argued that this new order would simply “have the same, basic policy outcome for the country.”
The President campaigned on a “Muslim Ban.” The original Executive Order was stopped by the courts because it is a “Muslim Ban.” Sadly, this so-called new order is all that Miller promised – more of the same. The President targets the same majority Muslim countries as before, minus Iraq, while ignoring the extensive multi-agency, vetting process these individuals go through to obtain refugee status or an immigrant visa.
“While the Trump Administration has tried to clean up its ‘Muslim Ban’ with a new Executive Order, nothing has really changed. They have gutted the refugee program, denying tens of thousands of victims and their families the opportunity to find freedom and opportunity in a new home, and they are still banning individuals from our shores based on their national origin and faith. We are glad the Administration now realizes legal permanent residents have constitutional rights and Iraqis are human beings and as such worthy of individual consideration and due process but it’s time for the Administration to also realize that it is wrong to discriminate against an entire people because of their faith,” said AAI President James Zogby.
The American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) also condemned the Executive Order as a “Muslim ban.”
A few moments ago Donald Trump signed another Executive Order aimed at banning Arabs and Muslims from entering the U.S. This EO was signed after his first attempt at the ban was stopped in court. The administration’s attempt to tailor the order so it conforms to court rulings does not take away from the fact that this is still and Arab and Muslim Ban. The new order is the same in nature as the old one. It prevents admission for nationals from six countries, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen. Further, the order puts a complete ban on refugees entering the U.S.
The new ban does have slight changes. Iraq has been removed from the list. There will also be a phase-in period, with the ban taking full effect on March 16, 2017. The ban does not apply to lawful permanent residents (LPRs), and current visa holders. Additionally, ADC has been informed that the 60,000 visas which were revoked after the first ban was signed are now reinstated. ADC will be providing additional updates and information as they become available. Please follow ADC on Twitter and Facebook for up to date information. ADC will be hosting a Facebook Live later this afternoon.
This ban is not about national security; in fact the Department of Homeland Security issued a report indicating that the ban does not make America any safer. The ban is about xenophobia and Islamophobia. The new ban will have the same effect on our community as the initial one did, and ADC will continue to provide pro bono legal assistance to those impacted. Further, we will make ourselves readily available to come out to your city and provide sessions about the ban and its impact.
As a result of these actions taken by this administration, ADC anticipates a large influx of cases, which may strain our financial resources. We can only continue our work with your generous support. With your support ADC can expand its legal and advocacy services, and continue to protect the community. Take time and make a contribution today by clicking here.
Democratic Senator Tammy Duckworth issued a condemnation of the Executive Order.
“Just like his last Muslim ban, this executive order plays into our enemy’s hands by giving them a propaganda tool to spread a false narrative about the United States hating Muslims. This ban will not make our country safer and betrays the American values those of us who served in uniform fought to defend. Discrimination is discrimination and no amount of sugarcoating by the President will change that.
“President Trump’s last Muslim ban created chaos for my constituents and Americans across the nation. Multiple federal courts rightfully halted implementation over concerns surrounding its legality and constitutionality. I am confident this new order will not stand either, if not in the courts then at the ballot box.”
Here is the full Executive Order issued by President Trump:
Executive Order Protecting The Nation From Foreign Terrorist Entry Into The United States
PROTECTING THE NATION FROM FOREIGN TERRORIST ENTRY INTO THE UNITED STATES
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), 8 U.S.C. 1101 et seq., and section 301 of title 3, United States Code, and to protect the Nation from terrorist activities by foreign nationals admitted to the United States, it is hereby ordered as follows:
Section 1. Policy and Purpose. (a) It is the policy of the United States to protect its citizens from terrorist attacks, including those committed by foreign nationals. The screening and vetting protocols and procedures associated with the visa-issuance process and the United States Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP) play a crucial role in detecting foreign nationals who may commit, aid, or support acts of terrorism and in preventing those individuals from entering the United States. It is therefore the policy of the United States to improve the screening and vetting protocols and procedures associated with the visa-issuance process and the USRAP.
(b) On January 27, 2017, to implement this policy, I issued Executive Order 13769 (Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry into the United States).
(i) Among other actions, Executive Order 13769 suspended for 90 days the entry of certain aliens from seven countries: Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen. These are countries that had already been identified as presenting heightened concerns about terrorism and travel to the United States. Specifically, the suspension applied to countries referred to in, or designated under, section 217(a)(12) of the INA, 8 U.S.C. 1187(a)(12), in which Congress restricted use of the Visa Waiver Program for nationals of, and aliens recently present in, (A) Iraq or Syria, (B) any country designated by the Secretary of State as a state sponsor of terrorism (currently Iran, Syria, and Sudan), and (C) any other country designated as a country of concern by the Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the Secretary of State and the Director of National Intelligence. In 2016, the Secretary of Homeland Security designated Libya, Somalia, and Yemen as additional countries of concern for travel purposes, based on consideration of three statutory factors related to terrorism and national security: “(I) whether the presence of an alien in the country or area increases the likelihood that the alien is a credible threat to the national security of the United States; (II) whether a foreign terrorist organization has a significant presence in the country or area; and (III) whether the country or area is a safe haven for terrorists.” 8 U.S.C. 1187(a)(12)(D)(ii). Additionally, Members of Congress have expressed concerns about screening and vetting procedures following recent terrorist attacks in this country and in Europe.
(ii) In ordering the temporary suspension of entry described in subsection (b)(i) of this section, I exercised my authority under Article II of the Constitution and under section 212(f) of the INA, which provides in relevant part: “Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.” 8 U.S.C. 1182(f). Under these authorities, I determined that, for a brief period of 90 days, while existing screening and vetting procedures were under review, the entry into the United States of certain aliens from the seven identified countries — each afflicted by terrorism in a manner that compromised the ability of the United States to rely on normal decision-making procedures about travel to the United States — would be detrimental to the interests of the United States. Nonetheless, I permitted the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Homeland Security to grant case-by-case waivers when they determined that it was in the national interest to do so.
(iii) Executive Order 13769 also suspended the USRAP for 120 days. Terrorist groups have sought to infiltrate several nations through refugee programs. Accordingly, I temporarily suspended the USRAP pending a review of our procedures for screening and vetting refugees. Nonetheless, I permitted the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Homeland Security to jointly grant case-by-case waivers when they determined that it was in the national interest to do so.
(iv) Executive Order 13769 did not provide a basis for discriminating for or against members of any particular religion. While that order allowed for prioritization of refugee claims from members of persecuted religious minority groups, that priority applied to refugees from every nation, including those in which Islam is a minority religion, and it applied to minority sects within a religion. That order was not motivated by animus toward any religion, but was instead intended to protect the ability of religious minorities — whoever they are and wherever they reside — to avail themselves of the USRAP in light of their particular challenges and circumstances.
(c) The implementation of Executive Order 13769 has been delayed by litigation. Most significantly, enforcement of critical provisions of that order has been temporarily halted by court orders that apply nationwide and extend even to foreign nationals with no prior or substantial connection to the United States. On February 9, 2017, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit declined to stay or narrow one such order pending the outcome of further judicial proceedings, while noting that the “political branches are far better equipped to make appropriate distinctions” about who should be covered by a suspension of entry or of refugee admissions.
(d) Nationals from the countries previously identified under section 217(a)(12) of the INA warrant additional scrutiny in connection with our immigration policies because the conditions in these countries present heightened threats. Each of these countries is a state sponsor of terrorism, has been significantly compromised by terrorist organizations, or contains active conflict zones. Any of these circumstances diminishes the foreign government’s willingness or ability to share or validate important information about individuals seeking to travel to the United States. Moreover, the significant presence in each of these countries of terrorist organizations, their members, and others exposed to those organizations increases the chance that conditions will be exploited to enable terrorist operatives or sympathizers to travel to the United States. Finally, once foreign nationals from these countries are admitted to the United States, it is often difficult to remove them, because many of these countries typically delay issuing, or refuse to issue, travel documents.
(e) The following are brief descriptions, taken in part from the Department of State’s Country Reports on Terrorism 2015 (June 2016), of some of the conditions in six of the previously designated countries that demonstrate why their nationals continue to present heightened risks to the security of the United States.
(i) Iran. Iran has been designated as a state sponsor of terrorism since 1984 and continues to support various terrorist groups, including Hizballah, Hamas, and terrorist groups in Iraq. Iran has also been linked to support for al-Qa’ida and has permitted al-Qa’ida to transport funds and fighters through Iran to Syria and South Asia. Iran does not cooperate with the United States in counterterrorism efforts.
(ii) Libya. Libya is an active combat zone, with hostilities between the internationally recognized government and its rivals. In many parts of the country, security and law enforcement functions are provided by armed militias rather than state institutions. Violent extremist groups, including the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), have exploited these conditions to expand their presence in the country. The Libyan government provides some cooperation with the United States’ counterterrorism efforts, but it is unable to secure thousands of miles of its land and maritime borders, enabling the illicit flow of weapons, migrants, and foreign terrorist fighters. The United States Embassy in Libya suspended its operations in 2014.
(iii) Somalia. Portions of Somalia have been terrorist safe havens. Al-Shabaab, an al-Qa’ida-affiliated terrorist group, has operated in the country for years and continues to plan and mount operations within Somalia and in neighboring countries. Somalia has porous borders, and most countries do not recognize Somali identity documents. The Somali government cooperates with the United States in some counterterrorism operations but does not have the capacity to sustain military pressure on or to investigate suspected terrorists.
(iv) Sudan. Sudan has been designated as a state sponsor of terrorism since 1993 because of its support for international terrorist groups, including Hizballah and Hamas. Historically, Sudan provided safe havens for al-Qa’ida and other terrorist groups to meet and train. Although Sudan’s support to al-Qa’ida has ceased and it provides some cooperation with the United States’ counterterrorism efforts, elements of core al-Qa’ida and ISIS-linked terrorist groups remain active in the country.
(v) Syria. Syria has been designated as a state sponsor of terrorism since 1979. The Syrian government is engaged in an ongoing military conflict against ISIS and others for control of portions of the country. At the same time, Syria continues to support other terrorist groups. It has allowed or encouraged extremists to pass through its territory to enter Iraq. ISIS continues to attract foreign fighters to Syria and to use its base in Syria to plot or encourage attacks around the globe, including in the United States. The United States Embassy in Syria suspended its operations in 2012. Syria does not cooperate with the United States’ counterterrorism efforts.
(vi) Yemen. Yemen is the site of an ongoing conflict between the incumbent government and the Houthi-led opposition. Both ISIS and a second group, al-Qa’ida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), have exploited this conflict to expand their presence in Yemen and to carry out hundreds of attacks. Weapons and other materials smuggled across Yemen’s porous borders are used to finance AQAP and other terrorist activities. In 2015, the United States Embassy in Yemen suspended its operations, and embassy staff were relocated out of the country. Yemen has been supportive of, but has not been able to cooperate fully with, the United States in counterterrorism efforts.
(f) In light of the conditions in these six countries, until the assessment of current screening and vetting procedures required by section 2 of this order is completed, the risk of erroneously permitting entry of a national of one of these countries who intends to commit terrorist acts or otherwise harm the national security of the United States is unacceptably high. Accordingly, while that assessment is ongoing, I am imposing a temporary pause on the entry of nationals from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen, subject to categorical exceptions and case-by-case waivers, as described in section 3 of this order.
(g) Iraq presents a special case. Portions of Iraq remain active combat zones. Since 2014, ISIS has had dominant influence over significant territory in northern and central Iraq. Although that influence has been significantly reduced due to the efforts and sacrifices of the Iraqi government and armed forces, working along with a United States-led coalition, the ongoing conflict has impacted the Iraqi government’s capacity to secure its borders and to identify fraudulent travel documents. Nevertheless, the close cooperative relationship between the United States and the democratically elected Iraqi government, the strong United States diplomatic presence in Iraq, the significant presence of United States forces in Iraq, and Iraq’s commitment to combat ISIS justify different treatment for Iraq. In particular, those Iraqi government forces that have fought to regain more than half of the territory previously dominated by ISIS have shown steadfast determination and earned enduring respect as they battle an armed group that is the common enemy of Iraq and the United States. In addition, since Executive Order 13769 was issued, the Iraqi government has expressly undertaken steps to enhance travel documentation, information sharing, and the return of Iraqi nationals subject to final orders of removal. Decisions about issuance of visas or granting admission to Iraqi nationals should be subjected to additional scrutiny to determine if applicants have connections with ISIS or other terrorist organizations, or otherwise pose a risk to either national security or public safety.
(h) Recent history shows that some of those who have entered the United States through our immigration system have proved to be threats to our national security. Since 2001, hundreds of persons born abroad have been convicted of terrorism-related crimes in the United States. They have included not just persons who came here legally on visas but also individuals who first entered the country as refugees. For example, in January 2013, two Iraqi nationals admitted to the United States as refugees in 2009 were sentenced to 40 years and to life in prison, respectively, for multiple terrorism-related offenses. And in October 2014, a native of Somalia who had been brought to the United States as a child refugee and later became a naturalized United States citizen was sentenced to 30 years in prison for attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction as part of a plot to detonate a bomb at a crowded Christmas-tree-lighting ceremony in Portland, Oregon. The Attorney General has reported to me that more than 300 persons who entered the United States as refugees are currently the subjects of counterterrorism investigations by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
(i) Given the foregoing, the entry into the United States of foreign nationals who may commit, aid, or support acts of terrorism remains a matter of grave concern. In light of the Ninth Circuit’s observation that the political branches are better suited to determine the appropriate scope of any suspensions than are the courts, and in order to avoid spending additional time pursuing litigation, I am revoking Executive Order 13769 and replacing it with this order, which expressly excludes from the suspensions categories of aliens that have prompted judicial concerns and which clarifies or refines the approach to certain other issues or categories of affected aliens.
Sec. 2. Temporary Suspension of Entry for Nationals of Countries of Particular Concern During Review Period. (a) The Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the Secretary of State and the Director of National Intelligence, shall conduct a worldwide review to identify whether, and if so what, additional information will be needed from each foreign country to adjudicate an application by a national of that country for a visa, admission, or other benefit under the INA (adjudications) in order to determine that the individual is not a security or public-safety threat. The Secretary of Homeland Security may conclude that certain information is needed from particular countries even if it is not needed from every country.
(b) The Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the Secretary of State and the Director of National Intelligence, shall submit to the President a report on the results of the worldwide review described in subsection (a) of this section, including the Secretary of Homeland Security’s determination of the information needed from each country for adjudications and a list of countries that do not provide adequate information, within 20 days of the effective date of this order. The Secretary of Homeland Security shall provide a copy of the report to the Secretary of State, the Attorney General, and the Director of National Intelligence.
(c) To temporarily reduce investigative burdens on relevant agencies during the review period described in subsection (a) of this section, to ensure the proper review and maximum utilization of available resources for the screening and vetting of foreign nationals, to ensure that adequate standards are established to prevent infiltration by foreign terrorists, and in light of the national security concerns referenced in section 1 of this order, I hereby proclaim, pursuant to sections 212(f) and 215(a) of the INA, 8 U.S.C. 1182(f) and 1185(a), that the unrestricted entry into the United States of nationals of Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen would be detrimental to the interests of the United States. I therefore direct that the entry into the United States of nationals of those six countries be suspended for 90 days from the effective date of this order, subject to the limitations, waivers, and exceptions set forth in sections 3 and 12 of this order.
(d) Upon submission of the report described in subsection (b) of this section regarding the information needed from each country for adjudications, the Secretary of State shall request that all foreign governments that do not supply such information regarding their nationals begin providing it within 50 days of notification.
(e) After the period described in subsection (d) of this section expires, the Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the Secretary of State and the Attorney General, shall submit to the President a list of countries recommended for inclusion in a Presidential proclamation that would prohibit the entry of appropriate categories of foreign nationals of countries that have not provided the information requested until they do so or until the Secretary of Homeland Security certifies that the country has an adequate plan to do so, or has adequately shared information through other means. The Secretary of State, the Attorney General, or the Secretary of Homeland Security may also submit to the President the names of additional countries for which any of them recommends other lawful restrictions or limitations deemed necessary for the security or welfare of the United States.
(f) At any point after the submission of the list described in subsection (e) of this section, the Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the Secretary of State and the Attorney General, may submit to the President the names of any additional countries recommended for similar treatment, as well as the names of any countries that they recommend should be removed from the scope of a proclamation described in subsection (e) of this section.
(g) The Secretary of State and the Secretary of Homeland Security shall submit to the President a joint report on the progress in implementing this order within 60 days of the effective date of this order, a second report within 90 days of the effective date of this order, a third report within 120 days of the effective date of this order, and a fourth report within 150 days of the effective date of this order.
Sec. 3. Scope and Implementation of Suspension.
(a) Scope. Subject to the exceptions set forth in subsection (b) of this section and any waiver under subsection (c) of this section, the suspension of entry pursuant to section 2 of this order shall apply only to foreign nationals of the designated countries who:
(i) are outside the United States on the effective date of this order;
(ii) did not have a valid visa at 5:00 p.m., eastern standard time on January 27, 2017; and
(iii) do not have a valid visa on the effective date of this order.
(b) Exceptions. The suspension of entry pursuant to section 2 of this order shall not apply to:
(i) any lawful permanent resident of the United States;
(ii) any foreign national who is admitted to or paroled into the United States on or after the effective date of this order;
(iii) any foreign national who has a document other than a visa, valid on the effective date of this order or issued on any date thereafter, that permits him or her to travel to the United States and seek entry or admission, such as an advance parole document;
(iv) any dual national of a country designated under section 2 of this order when the individual is traveling on a passport issued by a non-designated country;
(v) any foreign national traveling on a diplomatic or diplomatic-type visa, North Atlantic Treaty Organization visa, C-2 visa for travel to the United Nations, or G-1, G-2, G-3, or G-4 visa; or
(vi) any foreign national who has been granted asylum; any refugee who has already been admitted to the United States; or any individual who has been granted withholding of removal, advance parole, or protection under the Convention Against Torture.
(c) Waivers. Notwithstanding the suspension of entry pursuant to section 2 of this order, a consular officer, or, as appropriate, the Commissioner, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), or the Commissioner’s delegee, may, in the consular officer’s or the CBP official’s discretion, decide on a case-by-case basis to authorize the issuance of a visa to, or to permit the entry of, a foreign national for whom entry is otherwise suspended if the foreign national has demonstrated to the officer’s satisfaction that denying entry during the suspension period would cause undue hardship, and that his or her entry would not pose a threat to national security and would be in the national interest. Unless otherwise specified by the Secretary of Homeland Security, any waiver issued by a consular officer as part of the visa issuance process will be effective both for the issuance of a visa and any subsequent entry on that visa, but will leave all other requirements for admission or entry unchanged. Case-by-case waivers could be appropriate in circumstances such as the following:
(i) the foreign national has previously been admitted to the United States for a continuous period of work, study, or other long-term activity, is outside the United States on the effective date of this order, seeks to reenter the United States to resume that activity, and the denial of reentry during the suspension period would impair that activity;
(ii) the foreign national has previously established significant contacts with the United States but is outside the United States on the effective date of this order for work, study, or other lawful activity;
(iii) the foreign national seeks to enter the United States for significant business or professional obligations and the denial of entry during the suspension period would impair those obligations;
(iv) the foreign national seeks to enter the United States to visit or reside with a close family member (e.g., a spouse, child, or parent) who is a United States citizen, lawful permanent resident, or alien lawfully admitted on a valid nonimmigrant visa, and the denial of entry during the suspension period would cause undue hardship;
(v) the foreign national is an infant, a young child or adoptee, an individual needing urgent medical care, or someone whose entry is otherwise justified by the special circumstances of the case;
(vi) the foreign national has been employed by, or on behalf of, the United States Government (or is an eligible dependent of such an employee) and the employee can document that he or she has provided faithful and valuable service to the United States Government;
(vii) the foreign national is traveling for purposes related to an international organization designated under the International Organizations Immunities Act (IOIA), 22 U.S.C. 288 et seq., traveling for purposes of conducting meetings or business with the United States Government, or traveling to conduct business on behalf of an international organization not designated under the IOIA;
(viii) the foreign national is a landed Canadian immigrant who applies for a visa at a location within Canada; or
(ix) the foreign national is traveling as a United States Government-sponsored exchange visitor.
Sec. 4. Additional Inquiries Related to Nationals of Iraq. An application by any Iraqi national for a visa, admission, or other immigration benefit should be subjected to thorough review, including, as appropriate, consultation with a designee of the Secretary of Defense and use of the additional information that has been obtained in the context of the close U.S.-Iraqi security partnership, since Executive Order 13769 was issued, concerning individuals suspected of ties to ISIS or other terrorist organizations and individuals coming from territories controlled or formerly controlled by ISIS. Such review shall include consideration of whether the applicant has connections with ISIS or other terrorist organizations or with territory that is or has been under the dominant influence of ISIS, as well as any other information bearing on whether the applicant may be a threat to commit acts of terrorism or otherwise threaten the national security or public safety of the United States.
Sec. 5. Implementing Uniform Screening and Vetting Standards for All Immigration Programs. (a) The Secretary of State, the Attorney General, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and the Director of National Intelligence shall implement a program, as part of the process for adjudications, to identify individuals who seek to enter the United States on a fraudulent basis, who support terrorism, violent extremism, acts of violence toward any group or class of people within the United States, or who present a risk of causing harm subsequent to their entry. This program shall include the development of a uniform baseline for screening and vetting standards and procedures, such as in-person interviews; a database of identity documents proffered by applicants to ensure that duplicate documents are not used by multiple applicants; amended application forms that include questions aimed at identifying fraudulent answers and malicious intent; a mechanism to ensure that applicants are who they claim to be; a mechanism to assess whether applicants may commit, aid, or support any kind of violent, criminal, or terrorist acts after entering the United States; and any other appropriate means for ensuring the proper collection of all information necessary for a rigorous evaluation of all grounds of inadmissibility or grounds for the denial of other immigration benefits.
(b) The Secretary of Homeland Security, in conjunction with the Secretary of State, the Attorney General, and the Director of National Intelligence, shall submit to the President an initial report on the progress of the program described in subsection (a) of this section within 60 days of the effective date of this order, a second report within 100 days of the effective date of this order, and a third report within 200 days of the effective date of this order.
Sec. 6. Realignment of the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program for Fiscal Year 2017. (a) The Secretary of State shall suspend travel of refugees into the United States under the USRAP, and the Secretary of Homeland Security shall suspend decisions on applications for refugee status, for 120 days after the effective date of this order, subject to waivers pursuant to subsection (c) of this section. During the 120-day period, the Secretary of State, in conjunction with the Secretary of Homeland Security and in consultation with the Director of National Intelligence, shall review the USRAP application and adjudication processes to determine what additional procedures should be used to ensure that individuals seeking admission as refugees do not pose a threat to the security and welfare of the United States, and shall implement such additional procedures. The suspension described in this subsection shall not apply to refugee applicants who, before the effective date of this order, have been formally scheduled for transit by the Department of State. The Secretary of State shall resume travel of refugees into the United States under the USRAP 120 days after the effective date of this order, and the Secretary of Homeland Security shall resume making decisions on applications for refugee status only for stateless persons and nationals of countries for which the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and the Director of National Intelligence have jointly determined that the additional procedures implemented pursuant to this subsection are adequate to ensure the security and welfare of the United States.
(b) Pursuant to section 212(f) of the INA, I hereby proclaim that the entry of more than 50,000 refugees in fiscal year 2017 would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, and thus suspend any entries in excess of that number until such time as I determine that additional entries would be in the national interest.
(c) Notwithstanding the temporary suspension imposed pursuant to subsection (a) of this section, the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Homeland Security may jointly determine to admit individuals to the United States as refugees on a case-by-case basis, in their discretion, but only so long as they determine that the entry of such individuals as refugees is in the national interest and does not pose a threat to the security or welfare of the United States, including in circumstances such as the following: the individual’s entry would enable the United States to conform its conduct to a preexisting international agreement or arrangement, or the denial of entry would cause undue hardship.
(d) It is the policy of the executive branch that, to the extent permitted by law and as practicable, State and local jurisdictions be granted a role in the process of determining the placement or settlement in their jurisdictions of aliens eligible to be admitted to the United States as refugees. To that end, the Secretary of State shall examine existing law to determine the extent to which, consistent with applicable law, State and local jurisdictions may have greater involvement in the process of determining the placement or resettlement of refugees in their jurisdictions, and shall devise a proposal to lawfully promote such involvement.
Sec. 7. Rescission of Exercise of Authority Relating to the Terrorism Grounds of Inadmissibility. The Secretary of State and the Secretary of Homeland Security shall, in consultation with the Attorney General, consider rescinding the exercises of authority permitted by section 212(d)(3)(B) of the INA, 8 U.S.C. 1182(d)(3)(B), relating to the terrorism grounds of inadmissibility, as well as any related implementing directives or guidance.
Sec. 8. Expedited Completion of the Biometric Entry-Exit Tracking System. (a) The Secretary of Homeland Security shall expedite the completion and implementation of a biometric entry‑exit tracking system for in-scope travelers to the United States, as recommended by the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States.
(b) The Secretary of Homeland Security shall submit to the President periodic reports on the progress of the directive set forth in subsection (a) of this section. The initial report shall be submitted within 100 days of the effective date of this order, a second report shall be submitted within 200 days of the effective date of this order, and a third report shall be submitted within 365 days of the effective date of this order. The Secretary of Homeland Security shall submit further reports every 180 days thereafter until the system is fully deployed and operational.
Sec. 9. Visa Interview Security. (a) The Secretary of State shall immediately suspend the Visa Interview Waiver Program and ensure compliance with section 222 of the INA, 8 U.S.C. 1202, which requires that all individuals seeking a nonimmigrant visa undergo an in-person interview, subject to specific statutory exceptions. This suspension shall not apply to any foreign national traveling on a diplomatic or diplomatic-type visa, North Atlantic Treaty Organization visa, C-2 visa for travel to the United Nations, or G-1, G-2, G-3, or G-4 visa; traveling for purposes related to an international organization designated under the IOIA; or traveling for purposes of conducting meetings or business with the United States Government.
(b) To the extent permitted by law and subject to the availability of appropriations, the Secretary of State shall immediately expand the Consular Fellows Program, including by substantially increasing the number of Fellows, lengthening or making permanent the period of service, and making language training at the Foreign Service Institute available to Fellows for assignment to posts outside of their area of core linguistic ability, to ensure that nonimmigrant visa-interview wait times are not unduly affected.
Sec. 10. Visa Validity Reciprocity. The Secretary of State shall review all nonimmigrant visa reciprocity agreements and arrangements to ensure that they are, with respect to each visa classification, truly reciprocal insofar as practicable with respect to validity period and fees, as required by sections 221(c) and 281 of the INA, 8 U.S.C. 1201(c) and 1351, and other treatment. If another country does not treat United States nationals seeking nonimmigrant visas in a truly reciprocal manner, the Secretary of State shall adjust the visa validity period, fee schedule, or other treatment to match the treatment of United States nationals by that foreign country, to the extent practicable.
Sec. 11. Transparency and Data Collection. (a) To be more transparent with the American people and to implement more effectively policies and practices that serve the national interest, the Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the Attorney General, shall, consistent with applicable law and national security, collect and make publicly available the following information:
(i) information regarding the number of foreign nationals in the United States who have been charged with terrorism-related offenses while in the United States; convicted of terrorism-related offenses while in the United States; or removed from the United States based on terrorism-related activity, affiliation with or provision of material support to a terrorism-related organization, or any other national-security-related reasons;
(ii) information regarding the number of foreign nationals in the United States who have been radicalized after entry into the United States and who have engaged in terrorism-related acts, or who have provided material support to terrorism-related organizations in countries that pose a threat to the United States;
(iii) information regarding the number and types of acts of gender-based violence against women, including so-called “honor killings,” in the United States by foreign nationals; and
(iv) any other information relevant to public safety and security as determined by the Secretary of Homeland Security or the Attorney General, including information on the immigration status of foreign nationals charged with major offenses.
(b) The Secretary of Homeland Security shall release the initial report under subsection (a) of this section within 180 days of the effective date of this order and shall include information for the period from September 11, 2001, until the date of the initial report. Subsequent reports shall be issued every 180 days thereafter and reflect the period since the previous report.
Sec. 12. Enforcement. (a) The Secretary of State and the Secretary of Homeland Security shall consult with appropriate domestic and international partners, including countries and organizations, to ensure efficient, effective, and appropriate implementation of the actions directed in this order.
(b) In implementing this order, the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Homeland Security shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including, as appropriate, those providing an opportunity for individuals to claim a fear of persecution or torture, such as the credible fear determination for aliens covered by section 235(b)(1)(A) of the INA, 8 U.S.C. 1225(b)(1)(A).
(c) No immigrant or nonimmigrant visa issued before the effective date of this order shall be revoked pursuant to this order.
(d) Any individual whose visa was marked revoked or marked canceled as a result of Executive Order 13769 shall be entitled to a travel document confirming that the individual is permitted to travel to the United States and seek entry. Any prior cancellation or revocation of a visa that was solely pursuant to Executive Order 13769 shall not be the basis of inadmissibility for any future determination about entry or admissibility.
(e) This order shall not apply to an individual who has been granted asylum, to a refugee who has already been admitted to the United States, or to an individual granted withholding of removal or protection under the Convention Against Torture. Nothing in this order shall be construed to limit the ability of an individual to seek asylum, withholding of removal, or protection under the Convention Against Torture, consistent with the laws of the United States.
Sec. 13. Revocation. Executive Order 13769 of January 27, 2017, is revoked as of the effective date of this order.
Sec. 14. Effective Date. This order is effective at 12:01 a.m., eastern daylight time on March 16, 2017.
Sec. 15. Severability. (a) If any provision of this order, or the application of any provision to any person or circumstance, is held to be invalid, the remainder of this order and the application of its other provisions to any other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby.
(b) If any provision of this order, or the application of any provision to any person or circumstance, is held to be invalid because of the lack of certain procedural requirements, the relevant executive branch officials shall implement those procedural requirements.
Sec. 16. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:
(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or the head thereof; or
(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.
(b) This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations.
(c) This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.

US President Donald Trump has praised Australia’s ‘illegal immigration’ policy, sharing a series of Australian government advertisements published by the Department of Home Affairs designed to deter illegal immigrants.
“These flyers depict Australia’s policy on Illegal Immigration. Much can be learned!” President Trump tweeted on Thursday.
The adverts read: “No way. You will not make Australia home,” “If you come here by boat without a visa, you won’t be settled in Australia,” and “Australia’s borders are closed to illegal migration.”

The Need to Increment Resistance during Strongman Training
Strength Coach, Brisbane Broncos,
Level 3 Strength & Conditioning Coach
Australian Strength & Conditioning Association Master Coach of Strength & Conditioning
Strongman training is growing in popularity for athletes such as rugby league and union players. Advocates of it suggest that it is more “specific” than other forms of strength training. This article is not going to argue the case one way or another on that issue, but suggest where limitations in the application of the overload during this form of training can be improved.
The advocates of strongman training claim it can be done very easily with “objects that are just lying around”. No doubt on a farm there can be large tractor tyres, logs and various other heavy objects “just lying around”, but in reality for training athletes this is not the case. As a strength & conditioning coach, if you want to do strongman training with the “old school” approach, you have to go and acquire these objects. That is one problem, storing objects such as tractor tyres, logs, kegs etc is another BIG PROBLEM.
However, what I find the most problematic issue with “old school” strongman training is the inexact nature of the overload when dealing with large groups of athletes at the same time, as is the case when you train rugby league or union players. When you are training athletes of different heights, body weights, strength levels or upbringings (ie. those with a manual labour background versus those who do not), the imprecise nature of the overload in “old school” strongman training can cause a vast disparity in the training effect.
Following is an example of this taken from the training of the Brisbane Broncos rugby league team a few years back. During a rugby league game the mean or average heart rate (HR) is 165-175 beats per minute, with spikes taking it higher to 180-200 and recovery periods where it may drop to 120-140 for very short times. So we attempted to devise a session of mixed training session to prepare the players for the game by combining hard muscle work plus hard running work, which is the nature of rugby league. The training session consisted of “old school” strongman training exercises such as tyre flipping, log carrying, water filled conduit carrying and so on coupled with some running conditioning. Observe in Table 1 the difference in heart rate response for seven elite players, all of them NRL players, 6 of them Queensland State of Origin players at some point in their careers and 3 of them international test players. Due to differences in bodyweight, upper or lower body strength, there is some disparity in the extent of the overload.
Obviously the overload for some of the players was where we wanted it to be, with average HR’s of around 165. Note, however, that the two strongest players W and B did not attain the desired average HR of around 165 bpm. Player M is similar in enough bodyweight and lower body full squat strength to W and found the session a little harder, but it was still not enough. Why? Player W is much stronger in the upper body than player M (who is a long armed individual at an upper body strength disadvantage). Player W also grew up on a farm and even though a full time professional rugby league payer, still worked part-time on his farm and he did this sort of stuff around his farm every week of his life. Player B is just a strong bloke, in both the upper and lower body. So for W and B, despite being very different in bodyweight, the workout was too easy ~ they are strong blokes, the objects were just not heavy enough to elicit the desired HR response! M had to work a little harder because clearly his upper body strength is the weakest chain. But three of the seven were under trained by this session!
So what could the solution be? How could we have trained them harder? How do we make “old school” training harder with those objects? We cannot put another 5 kg on the tyre somehow? Do we stop training and uncap the conduit and then fill it up with some more water or tip some out, depending upon whose set it is? Do I go and get more logs of different weights? Have a virtual forest of logs so there will be one appropriate for each player?
The point is that the “old school” objects cannot be incremented like standard strength training equipment such as barbells, or sleds or like the Strongman equipment from Getstrength. When training athletes in groups you need to adjust weights according to each individual’s needs and strength levels. Just because two players were international forwards with bodyweights of 107-112 kg, such as W and M, does not mean they will respond similarly to “old school” strongman training.
So if you are going to embark on strongman training with a large group of athletes get some strongman equipment that you can put weights onto, so that the overload can be efficiently and methodically applied to the levels appropriate for each individual. There is plenty of good strongman equipment available that you can use standard weight plates with. The use of these pieces of equipment will ensure a more effective overload for individuals and more efficient use of facility space, coaching time and personell, as compared to the “old school” objects commonly used.

The Kelowna Rockets have added a 20-year-old defenceman to its roster in a trade with the Prince Albert Raiders.
The Rockets acquired veteran defenceman Brendon Wall from the Raiders in exchange for a conditional 7th round draft pick in the 2011 WHL Bantam Draft.
“We had an opportunity to acquire a 20-year-old defenceman,” said Rockets president/general manager Bruce Hamilton. “We aren’t certain where our 20-year-old situation sits right now with all these guys going to NHL training camps.”
The 6-foot-1 191 pound Wall will enter his fourth WHL season after playing 62 games with the Raiders last season.
“I’m really excited, it’s a top organization,” said Wall. “I’ve heard nothing but good things.”
A Saskatoon native, Wall grew up and played minor hockey with current Rockets forward Codey Ito.
Wall joins fellow 20-year-old players Evan Bloodoff, Geordie Wudrick, Tyler Matheson and Kyle St. Denis as overage players on the Rockets roster.
“We’ve got a pretty good track record of sending guys to the pros so we’re not sure who is coming back,” said Hamilton.
The Kelowna Rockets have swapped defencemen with the Moose Jaw Warriors, sending Collin Bowman to the Warriors in exchange for Kevin Smith.
A three year veteran, Smith, 19, played 70 games with Moose Jaw last season, scoring seven goals and adding 17 assists and 76 penalty minutes.
Bowman, 19, played three full seasons with the Rockets but requested a move to another team at the end of last season.
“Collin thought a change might be best for him,” said Rockets president/general manager Bruce Hamilton. “I worked away at this all summer trying to find a suitable deal for Collin and most importantly for the Kelowna Rockets. It was imperative we got a defenceman in return.”
In Smith, the Rockets hope to fill the role Bowman was playing with the team. The 6-foot-2 192 pound Smith is a native of North Vancouver and has played 169 career regular season WHL games, all with Moose Jaw.
“In Smith we hope he will be similar to Collin,” said Hamilton. “Anytime you lose a guy that has been with you for three years it’s difficult. Collin played hard for us every night. In his case a player that is not happy here needs to be in a situation where he is happy.”

David Ogilvy is a legend in the advertising world, despite having first retired some 30 year ago and not having published a book in nearly 25. His works are required reading for advertising students today and his philosophy of creating ads that generate sales made millions for his clients. He had a characteristic style or writing and design that remains instantly recognizable to those who’ve studied him, even today.
Though Ogivly died in 1999, just as the Web was beginning to take off, many of his lessons and ideas remain just as valid today as they did half a century ago. Last year I wrote an article entitled “7 Blogging Tips from David Ogilvy” that focused on applying some of Ogilvy’s techniques to blog writing. Ttoday however, I’m going to focus on how his design tips can help you choose a good look for your blog.
Ogilvy had a very famous and classic layout that focused on combining visuals with easy-to-read text. It’s a simple layout that draws the reader’s eye and lures them into the content. It’s a design that at least some elements easily apply to blogs, including the ones below.
1. Clean Layout
Ogilvy’s layouts were very clean. A visual element at the top, a strong headline and text below. The eye had a set course to follow and nothing in the ads was allowed to take away from the focus on the content.
Blog design can learn from this too. The WTF Blot Clutter series on the site contains some excellent examples of things that could distract your readers from your content, thus making it less likely to be read.
Be smart about what you put around your content and make sure it is worthwhile before adding something that could be a diversion. Is it something that’s useful and warrants a potential distraction, or just “fun” and “interesting”.
2. No Reverse Type
David Ogilvy repeatedly found that reverse type (white text on a black background) is harder to read and that having black text on a white background. Though the rule was written for the print world, where Ogily did the majority of his work, it seems to function well on the Web.
Though some environments that people are going to look at for long times at a stretch, such as programming and Web development applications, are easier to view in reverse type as it can reduce eye strain, most people find it easier to read regular type on the Web.
The exception, of course, is if your readers are used to reverse type. At that point, it most likely is better to use it. However, always make sure that your text and background are of a high contrast (no gray on white, for example) to one another for easier reading.
3. Visual Before Text
Ogilvy’s advertisements had a visual element to draw the eye of the reader to the ad and to lure them into the text. To aid in this, the visual element, the largest one at least, was placed BEFORE the text, so the ad could create a trail for the eye to follow, visual, text and then the call to action.
The idea is simple, get people to look at the text with a good visual, hook people into the text with great writing and then walk them through with subheads and compelling copy until they read the call to action.
Remember, with blogs, you aren’t just designing for the Web but also for RSS. Feeds need a strong visual center as well to help them stand out from the hundreds of other feeds your readers likely subscribe to.
4. Font Play
When it comes to choosing fonts for your site, it is more important to use what your readers are familiar with than follow any specific rule. Some readers find serif fonts easier, others find sans-serif fonts easier to read.
It seems to largely be based upon a digital divide, those who are more used to printed works are fans of serif fonts while those who are more used to reading materials on the Web prefer sans-serif.
The important thing, however, is to NOT use a font that is outside of the norm. Fonts that are too new and too unique are difficult to read and will turn readers away. This also means keeping your font size within the normal range too, usually between 10 and 12 pt.
5. Narrow Columns, Small Paragraphs and Subheads
Your writing has a direct bearing on your design so you have to write for the eye as well as for the ear. Use shorter paragraphs and regular subheads to give your readers breaks and make long copy seem shorter.
Also, make sure that your main column is narrow enough to be easily read. Ogivly used a newspaper layout with multiple columns per page. This is not something most blogs can use, but with monitors approaching 2000 pixels wide and beyond, place some controls on how wide your main column can be so that the reader can easily get to the next line.
Granted, there are many elements of Ogilvy’s design that don’t translate well into the Web. For example, drop caps, a staple of his ads, are all but gone from both the print and Web world, making them more of a distraction than a benefit.
However, much of it, if not most of it, does still apply very strongly and it is well worth studying. Because David Ogilvy’s design style was clean, simple and effective, not to mention ideal for layouts with a lot of words.
Though you don’t want to make your site look like a giant ad, using some of advertising’s design tricks can help make your site easier to read and more effective for your reader. It’s only logical that the industry that is expert and motivating people to buy products might hold clues on how to motivate people to do other things, whether it’s subscribe, take some kind of political action or simply come back.
As such, it’s worth understanding how advertising works and, to that end, I can not recommend David Ogilvy’s last book highly enough. | <urn:uuid:d237244c-c63f-4ed3-908b-3054bb2cf3c9> | CC-MAIN-2022-27 | https://www.blogherald.com/guides/5-ogilvy-tips-for-blog-design/ | 2022-07-05T09:05:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-27/segments/1656104542759.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20220705083545-20220705113545-00433.warc.gz | en | 0.964566 | 1,286 |

I’m back again with yet another book review. I know that I am unintentionally turning this into a book blog, but at least you have consistent posts from me for a little bit right?!? And…at least you know that I’m working on at least one of resolutions rather consistently this year…;)
Let’s get back to the topic at hand. In case you haven’t noticed is about the book Moxie by Jennifer Mathieu. This was a YA read chosen for the May or June Creating & Co book club read. I know I’m behind, but at least for now I’m at least caught up on that book club reads I think…
In the book we meet Vivian Carter, a junior at EastRockport High, who finally after years of dealing with the same small town attitude to guys and football gets feed up and decides to fight back in the only way that she knows how. She takes inspiration from her mother’s Riot Grrrl ‘zines and begins one of her own distributing anonymously throughout the school. Before she knows it, the ‘zines have created a movement all their own which ends up leading to a revolution at the school.
I’m not even going to apologize for somewhat spoiling the book because once you even read the jacket you know that there was only 2 ways that this was going to end, Revolution or sadness. I probably would have warned you if this was a tear jerker. If you aren’t already familiar with the Feminist Revolution this is definitely a good introduction to some materials that you should read. If you are familiar with the revolution this is good book to make you want to continue the fight for other girls/women. I know that this book probably has some basis in real life events since things like this seem all too common throughout America.
Let me know if you have read this book and what you thought. If you have any recommendations for books I should read this year, let me know 🙂 I’ll also be participating in the Creating&Co RIP Readathon in October,so they’ll be a ton more reviews coming soon!

Detection of emerald ash borer (EAB) in Vermont in early 2018 prompted VT UCF to further encourage towns to conduct public ash tree inventories. An ash tree infested with EAB will likely die within 1-5 years (if not treated) and may become a hazard to public safety. Vermont towns should understand their public ash tree population, including where ash trees are:
- in the right-of-way in town centers (street trees) and in high-use areas;
- in parks, town greens, or other town-owned recreational areas;
- in the right-of-way on rural roads;
- in natural areas, i.e. town forests, that could impact public safety if diseased or dying, such as those along trails; and
- on private land that impacts town properties or the town right-of-way, or are a priority for preservation.
An inventory will facilitate realistic management of EAB by assessing impact to publicly-managed places, prioritizing removals, identifying trees suitable for treatment, and budgeting for tree treatment or removal.
Check out this video to help you decide what type of inventory might be appropriate for your community.
Ash Tree Inventory Options
Depending on the size and nature (urban vs. suburban vs. rural) of your community, and your capacity to coordinate and implement, consider these ash tree inventory options:
Level I: Rapid Roadside Ash Survey
At a minimum, we recommend that you identify and document ash trees in high use areas (town greens, schools, playgrounds, dense residential areas), high use roads (Class 1 roads, emergency access routes), and around emergency facilities. A Rapid Roadside Survey is designed to capture a tally of ash trees. Information is collected on paper forms and the survey can be conducted from a moving vehicle. This form of a survey will produce an estimate of the number and size of ash trees that the town will need to manage for EAB, but will not provide detailed information on individual trees. These resources can assist you: Rapid Roadside Ash Survey Planning Worksheet and Rapid Roadside Ash Assessment Sample Data Collection Sheets.
Level II: Rural Roadside Ash Inventory Tool
If you plan on mapping your public ash trees, choose a GPS-based inventory that ties each tree or grouping of trees to a specific location. VT UCF collaborated with the GIS team at the Agency of Natural Resources to develop a map-based tool that will allow towns to collect basic data on their ash trees (size class, condition, location, and comments). The inventory can be conducted on foot or from a moving vehicle. There are also a variety of free GPS apps available for smart devices that may suit your needs.
VTUCF has a limited number of iPads that can be loaned out to communities to conduct a Rural Roadside Ash Inventory, but the app can be downloaded to most smartphones or devices. Learn more about what devices are compatible with our tool and how you will be able to use and view your data once your inventory is complete. Since the summer of 2018 over 28 towns have collected data on over 29,000 roadside ash tree data points using this tool.
Contact Joanne Garton if you are interested in using or setting up a technical training session for the tool. We have a robust Rural Roadside Ash Inventory Tool Guide that we can share upon request.
Level III: Public Tree Inventory
If you would like to collect detailed information on each individual tree, you may want to consider conducting a complete public tree inventory. Since 2013, VT UCF has been using an app and inventory tool to assist Vermont towns with inventories of planted, managed trees in downtowns and village centers, and densely-populated residential areas. This form of inventory will produce the most detailed information, but will also require a significant investment of time for training and data collection. Learn more about Public Tree Inventories and contact Joanne Garton if you are interested in learning more.
Ash Tree Inventory Considerations
Answer these questions to help you determine the scale, scope, and format.
- How will the data be used? What is the goal of collecting the data?
- Will you conduct a full or sample survey/inventory?
- Who will collect the data, and over what time period (municipal staff, volunteers, contracted professionals)?
- What is the extent of the area(s) you will include in the inventory?
Accurate identification of ash trees will be crucial for a successful and efficient inventory.
Visit the Vermont Forest Pest Planning Case Studies page to learn how nine Vermont communities inventoried ash trees in their town and developed an Emerald Ash Borer Preparedness Plan. These towns varied widely in population, size, and resources, creating unique town experiences and lessons learned. | <urn:uuid:288bc367-766e-4a19-b02d-9430366155ad> | CC-MAIN-2020-24 | https://vtcommunityforestry.org/ash-inventory | 2020-05-31T19:58:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-24/segments/1590347413624.48/warc/CC-MAIN-20200531182830-20200531212830-00155.warc.gz | en | 0.919284 | 981 |

Britain’s advertising industry is to launch a campaign backing free movement of labour – its first major intervention in the Brexit debate.
The Advertising Association will release a report that highlights the importance of the industry to the UK economy, claiming that it is responsible for £120bn of turnover each year and supports around one million jobs.
However, more attention is likely to be focused upon the weight that the report places upon foreign talent working in the UK industry.
According to data from LinkedIn, more than half of all new workers joining London’s advertising and marketing businesses come from overseas, leading the association’s report to claim that “employers need this international talent to maintain performance and grow their business”.
Leaders from the industry will now use their report as a springboard for a campaign asking for a Brexit agreement that limits restrictions on foreign workers.
The association’s chairman James Murphy – also the chief executive of high-profile agency adam&eveDDB – spoke exclusively to Sky News.
Video: The ad sector’s pitch in Brexit debate
He said: “There are some early signs of global talent employed in the industry beginning to leave.
“It’s also a signal to potential clients that we are no longer internationally minded with a global outlook and so it is very important that the Government can work with us to ensure that bringing talent into the industry isn’t more difficult or more costly.
“We are working with huge multi-nationals and the one thing they dislike more than anything is uncertainty.
“We have enormous clients in Germany who come to the UK because they see the UK as the best market in the world to buy advertising services.
“The question is when that uncertainty overwhelms our ability to be the best market in the world – and that is hard to answer.”
Mr Murphy’s CV includes the John Lewis Christmas adverts as well as clients ranging from Volkswagen to Google.
He said the uncertainty created by Brexit has led to other countries trying to steal the UK’s crown as one of the world’s leaders in the advertising industry.
“It’s pretty clear that we work in a hyper-competitive market. There are other countries and cities desperate to take business away from us,” Mr Murphy said.
“We have already seen Amsterdam for example offering UK creative talent 30% of their salary tax-free and there will be other offers coming from other cities around the world.”
The advertising industry is not the first to lay down its view of the most important aspect of a Brexit deal.
The banking, pharmaceutical and automotive sectors have all put forward their own sets of demands, often focused upon cross-border tariffs.
The farming industry has made clear that it expects a system to replace European subsidies.
In advertising, though, the greatest demand is entirely upon the movement of labour.
“It’s critical to the entire advertising industry,” said Severine Charbon, the French woman who is global head of talent for the advertising giant Publicis Media.
“We are a talent industry – and you get creativity with a diverse team. But now people are concerned, and they are asking questions.” | <urn:uuid:e90dccfc-41a0-4e1d-9201-92f97dfa3138> | CC-MAIN-2019-04 | https://businessesforsalemanchester.co.uk/ad-industry-in-major-brexit-intervention/ | 2019-01-23T10:24:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-04/segments/1547584328678.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20190123085337-20190123111337-00273.warc.gz | en | 0.953348 | 675 |
‘Forever My Girl’ does not last
Written and directed by: Bethany Ashton Wolf
Starring: Alex Roe, Jessica Rothe and Abby Ryder Fortson
“Forever My Girl” – Eight years. A lot can happen in eight years.
A fourth grader will become a high school senior.
A U.S. president can spend two terms in office.
The French could build four more Eiffel Towers.
Americans built a manned rocket that landed on the moon, and actually, it only took seven years from JFK’s famous “Moon Speech” to Apollo 11.
The point is a lot can happen in eight years. For Liam Page (Alex Roe), he left the love of his life, Josie (Jessica Rothe), at the altar, but not a lot happened between them for eight years. In fact, nothing did.
While Liam shot into superstardom as a country music star, making records and selling out arenas all over the world, Josie remained in St. Augustine, La. (nicknamed Saint). She was heartbroken, but not deterred from moving on with her life. The two, however, did not speak to one another since that infamous day, four Eiffel Towers ago.
Eight years later, due to an awfully unfortunate event, Liam found himself back in Saint, and he awkwardly attempts to reconnect with Josie, with a hopeful possibility that they could fall in love again.
Based on the 2012 young adult novel by Heidi McLaughlin, writer/director Bethany Ashton Wolf’s picture paints a modern-day fairy tale in Cajun Country, but this story is very difficult to believe.
The film’s primary problem is that life’s rough edges are continually smoothed over or ignored in this bizarre alternative universe, an on-screen place where consequences for specific characters’ actions are never addressed in rational ways.
To start, in St. Augustine, the townspeople apparently circled the wagons and helped Josie cope with her grief and a specific subsequent consequence (that shall not be named in this review). In effect, the entire town picked sides and chose Josie, while Liam circled the globe and performed his music. He did not speak to her, but he also did not contact anyone in his hometown, including his father for eight long years. (Also, for the record, Liam’s dad, Brian (John Benjamin Hickey), is a local pastor, but even he lost faith in talking with his son.)
One would think in the world of social media, at least one Saint person – including a family member – would connect with Liam at least once, even by a fat-fingered smartphone accident. Alas, perhaps passive aggressiveness runs strong Saint. Also, Liam did not reach out over Facebook or Instagram either, even though he was hurting every single day – per his words – after inexplicably skipping town on his wedding day.
Liam looked for comfort, and he unfortunately soothed via substance abuse for several years, but upon his return to Louisiana, no hint of these problems appear to exist. Surely, moviegoers are not rooting for Liam to turn to drugs or alcohol while recourting Josie, but not addressing the issue feels all too convenient.
Curiously, the script doubles down in this space.
While home, Liam feels that Josie’s family plays life too safely, so he preaches, “Sometimes you got to let go, walk on the wild side and everything will be okay.”
With a history of substance abuse, walking “on the wild side” is probably not the best advice to offer, but Josie and her family gladly accept these words of wisdom without batting an eye. More key plot fulcrums raise some head scratching moments, such as Liam finding some magical off-screen time to write a brand new album that his manager keeps badgering him to do. Liam apparently wrote a collection of brand new inspirational tunes in a blink of an eye.
With key bats and blinks, “Forever My Girl” – again - steps into an alternative, illogical universe.
Admittedly, this universe is a pleasant and light one, so it is best not to take the events of the PG-rated, 1-hour 44-minute story too seriously, however, are these the healthiest life lessons for younger audiences?
Rothe does portray Josie as a strong woman, but is semi-emotionally holding onto Liam for almost a decade the best choice, and why exactly didn’t Liam ask for help over eight years or anyone on his management team notice?
These types of questions are never explored, and Roe and Rothe do not really receive very many chances to click into deeper themes or tap into on-screen chemistry. As a consolation, at least Liam finds time to open his dad’s eyes to better coffee in the morning. Hey, coffee is important!
An important point to note: Roe never sang in public before taking this role, and the actor does a very convincing job of portraying a country superstar. Roe makes it look seamless, and audiences will be impressed with his bravery and stage presence.
Well, what can Liam and Josie do for an encore in “Forever My Girl 2”? Not exactly sure. Perhaps, they can make better use of eight years and construct a manned rocket to Mars.

The 5D are our best performing light bars yet. Each center pod features new 5D optics which couple an internal reflector to focus all the light onto the magnifying lenses. This combination eliminates any internal loss of light and ensures all light generated by each LED chip is projected outward, greatly increasing its efficiency and overall light output.
The magnifying fish-eye lens focuses the light to provide an extremely tight light pattern and reduce light loss due to refraction. Additionally they are IP67 rated meaning they can operate in up to 1 meter of water for 30 minutes.
This bar combines the best of two worlds with its spot lenses in the center and flood lenses on each side which ensures that the light beam is both long and wide, helping you see everything you need to.
Why curved? There are two main reasons you may want a curved LED Light bar:
Aesthetics - a curved light bar better matches the curved surfaces of your vehicle where you are mounting it. For example it will closely match the curve of your windshield if mounting above it, or it will match the curve of your bumper or grille.
Light Spread - curved bars throw more light out to the sides for a wider beam pattern than could be achieved with a standard straight LED Light Bar. | <urn:uuid:aaa837a4-65ec-41e4-8248-b8a4f41aa28d> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://lightbardirect.co.nz/products/52-inch-5d-curved-led-light-bar | 2021-11-29T09:01:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964358702.43/warc/CC-MAIN-20211129074202-20211129104202-00123.warc.gz | en | 0.934814 | 256 |

The Long Beach Collective Association is calling on all locals to consider the current cannabis tax code. On Tuesday July 2nd, 2019 Long Beach City Council met and will return on Thursday August 1st, 2019 with a City Staff Report looking into the cannabis tax code to broaden the tax base, and ensure cannabis prices stay competitive and fair for patients and consumers. Upon report they will be voting on the Cannabis Tax Moderation.
Currently Long Beach cannabis tax is one of the highest in the State of California. According to the Long Beach Collective Association cannabis companies are on the verge of collapse here in Long Beach due to the percentage the City holds over the companies.
By lowering local cannabis tax this helps create fair priced products and generates more local sales which results in more tax revenue and lessen the purchase of unsafe and unregulated purchases of cannabis products in illicit markets.
The flyers below give verbiage of how/ and what to say to your local city council members.

A monsoon often brings about thoughts of torrential rains, similar to a hurricane or typhoon. But there is a difference: a monsoon is not a single storm; rather, it is a seasonal wind shift over a region. The shift may cause heavy rains in the summer, but at other times, it may cause a dry spell.
What causes a monsoon?
A monsoon (from the Arabic mawsim, which means "season") arises due to a difference in temperatures between a land mass and the adjacent ocean, according to the National Weather Service. The sun warms the land and ocean differently, according to Southwest Climate Change, causing the winds to play "tug of war" eventually switching directions bringing the cooler, moister air from over the ocean. The winds reverse again at the end of the monsoon season.
Wet versus dry
A wet monsoon typically occurs during the summer months (about April through September) bringing heavy rains, according to National Geographic. On average, approximately 75 percent of India's annual rainfall and about 50 percent of the North American monsoon region (according to a 2004 NOAA study) comes during the summer monsoon season. The wet monsoon begins when winds bringing cooler, more humid air from above the oceans to the land, as described above.
A dry monsoon typically occurs between October and April. Instead of coming from the oceans, the winds tend to come from drier, warmer climates such as from Mongolia and northwestern China down into India, according to National Geographic. Dry monsoons tend to be less powerful than their summer counterparts. Edward Guinan, an astronomy and meteorology professor at Villanova University, states that the winter monsoon occurs when "the land cools off faster than the water and a high pressure develops over the land, blocking any ocean air from penetrating." This leads to a dry period.
The winds and rains
The monsoon season varies in strength each year bringing periods of lighter rains and heavier rains as well as slower wind speeds and higher wind speeds. The Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology has compiled data showing yearly rainfalls across India for the last 145 years.
According to the data, the intensity of a monsoon varies over an average of period of 30 – 40 years. In each period, the amount of rain received is higher than average resulting in many floods or lower than average resulting in droughts. The long-term data suggest that the monsoon trends may turn from being in a low rain period that began in approximately 1970 to a higher rain period. Current records for 2016 indicate that total rainfall between June 1 and September 30 is 97.3 percent of the seasonal normal.
The most rain during a monsoon season, according to Guinan, was in Cherrapunji, in the state of Meghalaya in India between 1860 and 1861 when the region received 26,470 millimeters (1,047 inches) of rain. The area with the highest average annual total (which was observed over a ten year period) is Mawsynram, also in Meghalaya, with an average of 11,872 millimeters (467.4 inches) of rain.
The average wind speeds in Meghalaya during peak summer monsoon season average 4 kilometers per second and typically vary between 1 and 7 kilometers per hour, according to Meteoblue. During the winter months, wind speeds typically vary between 2 and 8 kilometers per hour with an average of 4 - 5 kilometers per hour.
Where in the world
A monsoon forms in the tropics (between 0 and 23.5 degrees latitude north and south) and subtropics (between 23.5 degrees and 35 degrees latitude north and south), according to World Monsoons. The strongest monsoons tend to occur in India and South Asia in the north and Australia and Malaysia in the south. Monsoons also occur in southern parts of North America, in Central America, northern areas of South America, and in western Africa.
The North American monsoon
Monsoon season in North America brings rainfall primarily to northern Mexico, Arizona, and New Mexico, and to a smaller extent to parts of Utah, Colorado, southern California and Baja California, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). While the monsoon in North America is not as strong as those in India due to a lower and smaller plateau, the same patterns are followed.
A 2004 report was presented by NOAA describing studies on the North American Monsoon System. According to a case study, the North American Monsoon System is the least understood large-scale weather pattern that affects some of the more rapidly growing parts of the United States and Mexico. The researchers aimed to better understand the workings of the monsoon, the patterns, and any additional information that can be gathered to help predict the timing and strength of the seasonal monsoon.
The North American monsoon begins between May and June, peaks in July and August, and winds down between September and October, according to the 2004 study, drawing moisture from the Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. There are many factors that are being researched in order to determine and predict the onset of the monsoon along with what the study calls the "flavor of the monsoon," which includes the strength and amount of rainfall. The study points to a number of influences that may have an effect on the North American monsoon. These potentially include seasonal occurrences such as hurricanes and other tropical storms, floods, and droughts, as well as El Niño and climate change.
The monsoon is important in many areas all around the world. Agriculture in many of these places, such as India, depends heavily on the summer monsoon season, according to World Monsoons. According to National Geographic, hydroelectric plants that produce electricity and the import/export trades are also highly dependent on the monsoon season.
In periods of lighter rain, according to World Monsoons, crops don't grow due to drought, farm animals starve, and the income and well-being of many farmers and families dropped significantly. Less electricity is being produced sometimes leading to electricity only being provided to large businesses or the wealthiest families due to increased costs. Because many farmers cannot grow their own food or produce extra to sell, food is imported from other areas of the world.
And with heavier rains comes massive flooding and landslides washing away not only crops and homes but people and animals as well. Diseases such as cholera, dengue, malaria, as well as stomach and eye infections are also more prevalent in the summers with heavier rains according to World Monsoons. Many of these diseases are spread though water systems that have been overloaded and have been unable to clean the water used for drinking, cleaning, and so on.
The North American Monsoon System also brings the start of the fire season in the southwestern United States and northern Mexico, according to 2004 NOAA report due to the increased amount of lightning brought on by pressure and temperature changes. The amount of lightning, up to tens of thousands of strikes per night in some regions according to the study, not only brings fires to the region but also power disruptions, and severe injuries.
Monsoons and global warming
According to a study by Yen Yi Loo, Lawal Billa, and Ajit Singh, a group of scientists from Malaysia, published in Geoscience Frontiers in 2015, the effects of global warming on a monsoon can potentially be devastating due to frequent shifts and changes in precipitation levels and timelines. World Monsoons estimates that there will be an increase in rainfall during the summer monsoon seasons in the next 50 to 100 years. Greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, can make warm air hold onto more water only to release it as rain over already soaked areas. During the dry winter monsoon seasons, it is believed that the land will become drier as evaporation increases in warmer temperatures.
On shorter timescales, the amount of rainfall during a summer monsoon may be changed year to year by a variety of factors including air pollution, according to World Monsoons. El Niño in the Pacific oceans can also have effects on the monsoon in India on both the short- and long-terms, according to studies from the University of Colorado in Boulder.
According to the above study, the strength of El Niño's warming was believed to be the main influence in the strength of the monsoon seasons. However, it now appears that instead of the strength of El Niño, it is in fact the location of the warming. The researchers compiled data of rainfall in India and satellite observations of the Pacific Ocean and discovered that when El Niño warming was located in:
- the central Pacific, India experienced droughts.
- the eastern Pacific, India experienced normal monsoon conditions.
- The western Pacific, India experienced more rain.
There are many factors that can have an effect on a monsoon, including El Niño, and there is a great deal of research going into better understanding these factors and how the monsoon changes. Much of this research is going into how to better predict future and current rainfalls and winds, such as described in an article published in 2015 on Science Daily from the Office of Naval Research. The greater the knowledge about the workings of a monsoon, the more accurately the onset and strength can be predicted.
When approximately half of India's population works in agriculture and agriculture makes up eighteen percent of India's GDP, according to Stratfor, for example, the shifting in both timing of a monsoon and the amount of rain, can lead to big problems. With all of the ongoing research, perhaps the problems can turn into solutions. | <urn:uuid:e488463e-bfa2-439c-891d-d746cb6782f6> | CC-MAIN-2021-31 | https://www.livescience.com/56906-monsoon.html | 2021-07-27T11:14:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-31/segments/1627046153391.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20210727103626-20210727133626-00076.warc.gz | en | 0.957074 | 1,975 |
For Drew Edmondson
After weighing the wildly different candidacies of republican Kevin Stitt and Democrat Drew Edmondson it was clear the biggest and most significant difference was their view toward education. Oklahoma is at critical crossroads and most people see the state’s long and painful destruction of education as a cataclysmic crisis. Perhaps no other issue reveals the deep divide in how Oklahoma views government than education. It’s time for a change.
Drew Edmondson said what was accomplished during the last session which resulted in millions being pumped into an almost bankrupt system was a small start. Most thoughtful people realize not only is the state way behind, we are simply not providing a decent education for our children. This problem is not just cosmetic, it will domino through every segment of state government in a negative way. Edmondson is ready to stand up to oil and gas interest and raise the gross production tax to its previous level to help fund education. It will take some major use of Edmondson’s considerable talents to get this done. Stitt wants to eliminate the meager raise given to teachers. His plan to raise ad valorem taxes to fund education is proof he’s not ready to lead this state.
For these reasons and more like mature temperament and government experience; The Oklahoma Eagle endorses Drew Edmondson to become the next governor of Oklahoma.
Gilpin The Choice Of The Oklahoma Eagle
The First District has not had a real choice in the First District House or Representative seat for years. For a variety of reasons, from no serious Democrat challengers to the changing climate of conservatism blanketing the state, election day was always an easy win for Republicans. That may change this year. The Oklahoma Eagle proudly endorses the candidacy of Tim Gilpin.
One only must look at the state of healthcare to see how important this race is and how in line Gilpin is with Oklahoma values and needs. With most of the republican party bent on destroying the Affordable Care Act, Gilpin and most Democrats running for congress not only want to maintain precious healthcare for they want to strengthen what is sometimes called Obamacare. One of the most important features of Obamacare is the provision for insurance companies having to insure pre-existing conditions. Since most people have a pre-existing condition, everyone was in danger of losing their health insurance. Most republicans have voted against pre-existing conditions in one form or another. Recent polls say Americans consider pre-existing conditions the single most important issue this election cycle. Oops! Now republicans from President Trump to everyone running for congress have already announced their opposition to the most important issue in this the most important election in years. Republicans from Trump to the Oklahoma delegation have announced their promise to keep pre-existing healthcare. Trump just passed a rule change not a law to allow insurance companies to remove barriers protecting pre-existing conditions. Gilpin needed no poll to decide that Americans need healthcare and for it to be protected. The republican plan will result in the industry being flooded with junk policies which will not provide adequate insurance. Insurance companies will get their money, and no one will use their polices.
Education is also important to Oklahoman’s this election cycle. Basically, Oklahoma is tired of being at the bottom of ever socio-economic category including support for education. Three years ago, when Congress created its academic support fund it was suppose create a fund to increase student access to art and music, mental health and technology programs in the poorest schools. Education Secretary Betsy Devos wants to tap that fund to instead to purchase guns for schools. Congress proposed legislation to block the wrong-headed use of the important fund. They will need Gilpin to strengthen education support not gut well meaning funds for questionable reasons. Gilpin use to sit on the state board of education where he routinely stood up to Janet Barresi the former Oklahoma Superintendent of Public Instruction over hiring practices. Gilpin knows someone has to stand up to DeVos as well. DeVos wants to slash student loans and eliminate student loan forgiveness programs. The results will be millions added to the already crushing debt carried by teachers and social workers. The administration is also eyeing school lunch programs to cut. This program is important to low income families. Presently, since the entire Oklahoma delegation is working in lock step with Trump and DeVos, the only people fighting for education are state employees. They clearly need congressional support. No one would be better at this than Gilpin.
Gilpin sees the downgrading of politics under Trump and the country needs alternative and compassionate ideas to counteract his policies some see as dangerous. Gilpin is concerned with Trump and his loose version of truth. Just this week he promised a tax cut next week when congress isn’t even in session. Gilpin said the promotion of fear to advance ideas are dangerous and he pointed to the mailing of pipe bombs to Democrat leaders and CNN as proof Trump’s dangerous rhetoric has potentially lethal consequences. No one in the republican party appears capable to taking the president to task for his poor leadership. Republican Kevin Hern has promised to follow Trump wherever he goes. Gilpin and a new congress controlled by Democrats can begin the process of reversing dangerous policies that are presently passed unfettered by a brave opposition.
For these reasons and much more, everyone in our reading audience needs to get out and vote for Tim Gilpin.
The Oklahoma Eagle Endorses Anastasia Pittman For Lt. Governor
One of the brightest stars running for public office is Anastasia Pittman. She is seeking the office of Lt. Governor. Experienced, thoughtful and tough, Pittman is the choice of The Oklahoma Eagle
Her top priorities for Oklahoma, are to create higher-paying jobs, economic security and entrepreneurship opportunities. Pittman wants to expand access to capital for small businesses, restructure student loan debt to lower the burden on Oklahoma families, reform juvenile justice system, expand access to healthcare, and defend our constitutional rights. She reports that six rural hospitals closed and left some families up to fifty miles from the nearest hospital.
Pittman was born to lead, and her background has given her a wealth of knowledge. If elected she would be the first African American females to win a state-wide race, and one of the first Native American women as well. She is also a descendant of a Tulsa Race Massacre survivor Abner Burnett and C.E. Pittman Jazz Hall of Fame member.
Pittman understands the role of Lt. Governor and is prepared to work with Drew Edmondson to stand up for Oklahoma to rebuild Oklahoma.
Kunzweiler for District Attorney
The Oklahoma Eagle is proud to endorse the candidacy of Steven Kunzweiler for Tulsa County District Attorney. He will continue his work as protector of the law and to organize and promote justice that favors rehabilitation over harsh sentencing. A promoter of drug court and other alternatives to jail, Kunzweiler understands there are those who need a second chance not prison.
Kunzweiler has shown great courage and conviction in the pursuit of justice in Tulsa. His rigorous prosecution of high-profile cases proves that everyone deserves justice, and no one is above the law.
He faces Democrat Jenny Proehl-Day and she is a bright light and her vision and experience means she will someday find a place to serve Tulsans. But, given the experience of Kunzweiler, we urge Tulsans to vote for him on election day. | <urn:uuid:bd9ef3fd-8a28-47f6-b67c-3489a76d0143> | CC-MAIN-2021-31 | http://theoklahomaeagle.net/2018/10/25/staywoke-wevotewewin-the-oklahoma-eagle-editorial-political-endorsements/ | 2021-08-06T03:25:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-31/segments/1627046152112.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20210806020121-20210806050121-00481.warc.gz | en | 0.96293 | 1,508 |
This morning I finished reading "You Are Not a Gadget" by Jaron Lanier, a technocriticism manifesto.
I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to ponder our relationship with technology and how technology may actually be limiting certain experiences.
I doubt anyone here needs convincing, but @amoroso wrote a great short post about why sites should use RSS.
Might be something to link to ;)
Obsidian is a favorite of the tech crowd, but in this post I share how it can be a great marketing tool as well.
@sylviawrites I also really like the performance for Soldier Boy.
Going from playing the hokey all-American hero from his old movies, to playing the tortured and troubled modern version...
And the dude's voice is great.
@infernusgoatus My biggest complaint is that the movie didn't need a love story. Though moments between them did show that Maverick had grown since the original film
@matt I got accepted into tilde.town, but I'm not familiar with chat over ssh.
Do you have any resources to help me out? Text or video?
@dianalizia What is it about the situation you have problems with?
I used to love writing in coffee shops. The murmuring of other people's conversations were somehow inspiring and energizing.
@timetoscience They do take time to curate. And you can get some noise.
With Newsblur, keyboard shortcuts help me cut through posts I don't care about. "N" for new posts, "M" to mark as read/unread.
For me, an RSS reader is worth the effort because of the control it gives me.
@timetoscience Have you tried an RSS reader? There are free options. But I use Newsblur to follow blogs, subreddits, YouTube channels I'm interested in . . .
@InBabel Social media can have benefits.
It can be a great way to extend your professional network and to find out about opportunities you otherwise would not have discovered.
But usage has to be kept in check.
@dianalizia I like to *write* either with pen and paper or Markdown.
I'll format later. But for the actual writing, I like to keep it as simple as possible.

100% bamboo pintail deck: This smooth operator is awesome for your everyday cruise. The feel of the board is sturdy with a handful of smoothness. The is deck is similar to the 44"x10" smooth operator two except for the deck size. The bamboo deck has a clear salted spray grip for a nice grippy feel.
Holds up to 300lbs
Wheel Base: 27"
Bamboo Pintail Smooth Operator one complete includes:
100% Bamboo deck
Free Soul Reverse Trucks (black, red, blue or silver)
Bear Reverse Trucks (black or silver)
Paris Reverse Trucks (black/white or red)
Choice of: 65mm 70mm, or 76mm Longboard Gel Soft Wheels - 78a (your choice of color)
1/2" real rubber risers
Free Soul Trucks: For those who are not familiar with Free Soul Trucks, they are our new house brand truck company. They are made from one of the best truck factories in the world. The quality and smoothness are just as good as other top truck companies.
Choosing your wheel size: Try to visualize what you’re going to be skating on and think about what type of ground is in your area. The 65mm are good for smooth surfaces such as regular sidewalks and smooth asphalt. The 70mm are better for rockier areas like rocky parking lots and rough asphalt. The 76mm are good for all types of heavy terrain because they absorb bigger rocks providing a smoother ride.
Choosing your trucks: This depends on how you’re going to be skating the board. The Standard Trucks are great for cruising the streets and doing a little carving and turns. The Reverse Kingpins are designed for sharper turns, carving and down hilling. You get about 20% more turning ability with the Reverse Kingpin Trucks because of how the trucks sit and how they are angled on the board.

Book News…Not Really, Just a Rant
(Warning: Rant will ensue shortly)
So I may be late to the party for this one, or right on time, but that’s not the point. This past Monday, October 5th, marked the 10th anniversary of the publication of the first Twilight novel. Did anyone else subtract ten years from their age to figure out how old they were then? I totally did! Anyways, as a ‘celebration’ of the novels, Stephenie Meyer basically ‘reimagined’ Twilight and gender-bended the original characters and released is as Life and Death.
First off, gender-bending your own characters and changing the story to fit the new genders is not ‘reimagining’ it’s called rewriting because you can’t write another story. I know that she has another book, but I checked, it’s been three years since the sequel to The Host was supposed to be released and there’s not even a cover for it. Also, I have no problem with bender-bending. Honestly, I read it in fanfiction all the time, however, that’s the problem. Most gender-bending is done in fanfiction, or by other authors to a story that’s been around for a while, like RWBY (I know it’s not a book, but some of the characters are the opposite gender of the mythical/legendary heroes that they’re modelled from). This isn’t even the most frustrating thing about this book.
Second, what pissed me off the most was the sales pitch for this ‘reimagined’ book:
“Celebrate the tenth anniversary of Twilight! This special double-feature book includes the classic novel, Twilight, and a bold and surprising reimagining, Life and Death, by Stephenie Meyer.”
Do you see the blasphemy, yet? They called Twilight a classic; let that sink in for a moment…Do you know what a classic is? Here’s a definition from The Continuum Encyclopedia of Children’s Literature: ” a well-crafted plot; a sharp, clear setting that gives a sense of place, period, time and feeling; fully developed characterizations; natural dialogue appropriate to the characters; a logically developed theme; and accuracy that lends authenticity to the whole. The adult’s goal is to unite a child with a novel exhibiting these characteristics.”
Now, even though this is referring to children’s classics the same idea can be applied to more adult literature. Most authors view a classic as a book that everyone has to read, or has remained in print. Yes, Twilight has remained in print for ten years, however, it isn’t a must read for everyone because there isn’t anything striking or revolutionary about it.
Another way to define a classic is a book that has withstood the test of time and has been enjoyed by many people for many generations, and that usually means more than three. It hasn’t nearly been long enough for Twilight to even begin to be considered a classic, whether it was written well or not! I’m not saying that Twilight is horrible to read, I did read it and it’s been a while since I have, but it’s in no way shape or form a classic…yet.
It physically pains me to put Twilight next to classics like Little Women, Black Beauty, Treasure Island, The Prince and the Pauper, The Awakening, The Crucible, To Kill a Mockingbird, Frankenstein, or even bloody Dracula!
Rant over, please enjoy the rest of your day! 🙂 | <urn:uuid:316848f2-b8fa-4b5a-996e-9bc7538f200b> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | https://ofbooksandpen.wordpress.com/2015/10/09/friday-news-report/ | 2017-06-27T01:58:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320887.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20170627013832-20170627033832-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.949058 | 1,430 |

If you’re unfortunate enough to breathe wildfire smoke, you’re getting a lungful of charred plant material, noxious gases, and—if the fire tore through human structures—incinerated synthetic materials. All across the board, it’s bad stuff, proven to be a severe detriment to human health, particularly for those with respiratory conditions like asthma. And not to pile on the worries, but that haze also turns out to be loaded with microbes like bacteria and fungi.
The problem is, scientists have only just begun to study this smoky microbial community. That led a pair of researchers to publish a new perspective piece in the journal Science today calling for a multidisciplinary push to better characterize these microbes and determine how they might be making wildfire smoke even worse for human lungs. “It’s not just comprised of particulate matter and gases, but it also has a significant living component in it,” says University of Idaho fire scientist Leda Kobziar, coauthor of the piece. Wildfire smoke may actually spread beneficial organisms for an ecosystem, Kobziar adds, but “what might the consequences be for the spread of pathogens that we know are airborne?”
But hold on a tick: Shouldn’t the microbes get cooked to death in the flames? Well, that’s not giving these microbes any credit. You see, a wildfire burns with different intensities at different spots as it moves across a landscape. “At the smallest scales, complete combustion is coupled with incomplete combustion,” says Kobziar. “Even at one centimeter, you could get very high temperatures for long durations, and at the next centimeter, it can be completely skipped, and no heat at all. So that degree of variability provides a lot of pockets in which these microbes could survive fire.”
Instead of perishing, they hitch rides on bits of charred carbon and in water vapor, as the wildfire’s heat propels all of the muck skyward. If they end up in tiny droplets of water, this could well protect them from desiccation as they travel downwind. “We know that microbes attached to dust particles are certainly transported across continents,” Kobziar says. “So we have no reason to believe that that’s not also occurring in smoke as smoke travels. But how long do they survive, and which ones survive? That is an open question, and that’s exactly the kind of research that we’re hoping this paper will inspire.”
Take, for instance, the fungus genus Coccidioides, whose species live in soil. When a fire tears through a landscape, it disturbs the soil both directly, by chewing it up with flames, but also indirectly: All that hot, rising air creates an atmospheric void near the surface, and more air rushes in from the sides to fill it. This can produce fierce winds that scour the earth, aerosolizing the fungi.
When firefighters inhale this rotten air, the fungi can lead to a condition called coccidioidomycosis, or valley fever, with symptoms including fever and shortness of breath. The condition may progress to cause pneumonia or meningitis, an infection of tissues surrounding the brain and spinal cord. (Infection by another fungus genus called Cryptococcus, also a concern in wildfire smoke, leads to similar symptoms.) Coccidioidomycosis is common enough among firefighters that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention considers the profession at-risk for the fungal infection.
As wildfires become bigger and more intense thanks to climate change, researchers are finding a troubling rise in mycoses cases (meaning, any disease caused by a fungus) in the American West. Fungal spores “can act as an allergen and initiate asthma development in the atopic population and have been associated with decreased lung function, hospitalizations, and increased mortality,” says Mary Prunicki, director of air pollution and health research at Stanford University’s Sean N. Parker Center for Allergy Research, who wasn’t involved in this new paper. “Overall, many microbes are of concern for human health.” | <urn:uuid:1980fec9-a0c6-43ff-96ca-0105e5eb5849> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://techietricks.com/2020/12/17/wildfire-smoke-is-loaded-with-microbes-is-that-dangerous/ | 2021-10-17T12:00:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585177.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20211017113503-20211017143503-00110.warc.gz | en | 0.931913 | 878 |
Paul: The Life & Ministry of the Apostle
Background matters. But grace is deep enough to forgive and cleanse any and ALL sin. The apostle Paul's background gives us an example of how much God works with whatever we have to offer. If He can work in the life of Paul, imagine what He can do in your life, if you let Him. | <urn:uuid:d6422081-54a9-498e-83f2-bcd1f091a13c> | CC-MAIN-2021-31 | https://shoutengine.com/StJohnsUnitedMethodistChurchTurnersvilleNJ/paul-the-life-ministry-of-the-apostle-94296 | 2021-07-25T23:10:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-31/segments/1627046151866.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20210725205752-20210725235752-00458.warc.gz | en | 0.896599 | 73 |

Mario Balotelli, Italy’s most famous black footballer, said on Wednesday a politician who has become the first black person elected to the Senate should be ashamed of himself for representing a fiercely anti-migrant party.
Nigerian-born Toni Iwobi moved to Italy in 1976 and joined the League in 1993, serving as a local councillor. He was elected to the upper house on Sunday to represent the northern city of Bergamo – the League’s heartland.
“Perhaps I’m blind or perhaps they haven’t yet told him that he is black. But shame on you!!!” Balotelli wrote on Instagram.
Perhaps I’m blind or perhaps they haven’t yet told him that he is black. But shame on you!
The post showed a photograph of Iwobi with League leader Matteo Salvini, both wearing T-shirts saying: “Stop the Invasion” – a reference to the party’s call for a halt to African migrants who have poured into Italy in recent years.
Balotelli was born in Sicily to Ghanaian immigrants. He has played more than 30 times for the Italian national team and plays club soccer for French side Nice.
The League has adopted an uncompromising anti-migrant stance, drawn up with the help of Iwobi, and has called for the deportation of some 600,000 immigrants, many from Africa, who have reached Italy over the past four years.
However, the party has said it supports legal migration. Iwobi came to Italy legally on a student visa and subsequently married an Italian. He went on to set up an IT company.
League leader Matteo Salvini immediately leapt to Iwobi’s defence. “I don’t like Balotelli on the field. I like him even less off it,” he tweeted.
Iwobi wrote on Facebook: “These controversies don’t interest me. There are more important things. I cannot wait to start serving my country.”
He went ahead to defend himself in an interview with Italian newspaper, Il Giornale, saying only 10% of those who flee from Nigeria are fleeing war.
“I come from Nigeria and I know how things are,” he added.
“Only 10% of those who disembark in Italy are fleeing war.The others, all the others, the vast majority, no.”
The election – which saw his party came third with 17% of the vote, a huge increase on the 4% it won in 2013 – comes at a time of heightened anti-immigration feeling.

I saw that Sephora was doing a delux sample of Diorshow Maximizer Lash Plumping Serum with purchase (code: DIORMAX) so I wanted to do a quick post letting you know my thoughts about it. It’s a game changer. I picked this up while I was Black Friday shopping in 2012 and just picked up my second tube. I know, I know – you’re apparently supposed to replace your mascara every three months. I don’t follow that rule. I actually still had some product left in the tube but the brush was getting funky. See the photo (my old one’s on the left.)
This stuff seems pricey at $28 when you consider you still have to use mascara on top. However, it makes your lashes look SO much bigger and it’s lasted over a year. I think it’s definitely worth it. If you use the code “DIORMAX” at checkout, Sephora will add a sample of it to your cart. | <urn:uuid:dbb7f799-6201-4ea6-a1da-d9e240e78224> | CC-MAIN-2021-21 | https://tiramisuforbreakfast.com/2014/03/02/the-pre-mascara/ | 2021-05-14T09:36:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-21/segments/1620243990449.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20210514091252-20210514121252-00192.warc.gz | en | 0.97299 | 215 |

MINNEAPOLIS - Another abbreviated start was enough to seal the deal for Twins pitcher Samuel Deduno, who was placed on the 15-day disabled list Friday along with outfielder Wilkin Ramirez.
Deduno has complained about shoulder soreness that apparently became worse during Thursday's loss to Kansas City. He lasted only 3 innings as the Royals pounded the Twins for a series sweep.
X-rays showed that Ramirez fractured his tibia when he fouled a ball off it during the 5th inning of yesterday's contest. It is the latest mishap in a disappointing season: Ramirez missed months of action earlier as he wrestled with post-concussion symptoms.
To replace Deduno and Ramirez on the 25-man roster big league roster the Twins have recalled left-handed pitcher Pedro Hernandez from Double-A New Britain, and outfielder Darin Mastroianni from Triple-A Rochester.
In 12 appearances this season between the GCL Twins, Double-A New Britain and Triple-A Rochester, Hernandez went 3-3 with a 3.66 ERA (64.0 innings pitched, 26 earned runs). He has a record of 3-1 with a 5.54 ERA (37.1 IP, 23 ER) in nine appearances (seven starts) for the Twins this season.
Mastroianni has missed 106 games of the 2013 season with a stress reaction in his left ankle. After a rehab assignment, he was optioned to Triple-A where he hit .333 (12-for-36) in 11 games for the Red Wings.
Both Hernandez and Mastroianni will join the Twins tonight in Texas for a series with the Rangers.

PARKERSBURG - Parkersburg police are looking for a semi-truck driver who allegedly ran into a fire hydrant behind the Kroger on Division Street around 4 p.m. Friday, officials said.
Firefighters and first responders arrived on the scene at 930 Division St. to find a fire hydrant spewing water near an access road next to the store.
Capt. M.A. Kunselman with the Parkersburg Fire Department said a delivery truck ran into a fire hydrant and broke the hydrant at its base.

Capt. M.A. Kunselman with the Parkersburg Fire Department looks at the puddle of water left behind after a delivery driver ran into the hydrant.
"The Parkersburg Utility Board arrived on scene to shut the underground valve off," Kunselman said Friday afternoon.
He said the utility board members were able to stop the water flow, but not before a large puddle of water was left behind.
Sgt. Matt Board with the Parkersburg Police Department said the investigation is ongoing.
"The trailer of the truck struck a fire hydrant and water line underneath causing it to leak," he said.
Police are reviewing surveillance tapes to figure out which store the truck was delivering to and the truck company, Board said. He said Kroger and Kmart have a loading dock near the fire hydrant.
Anyone with information regarding the case is asked to contact the Parkersburg Police Department at 304-424-8444. | <urn:uuid:3de85bd9-e84b-4422-a654-bb98cca6fc99> | CC-MAIN-2016-30 | http://www.newsandsentinel.com/page/content.detail/id/570871/Police-seek-driver-who-struck-hydrant.html?nav=5061 | 2016-07-24T08:51:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-30/segments/1469257823989.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20160723071023-00209-ip-10-185-27-174.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.96358 | 320 |
There are honors for a local teacher for his hard work and dedication to educating migrant students.
A surprise assembly for Guillermo Gonzalez congratulated him as Florida's Migrant Success Story/Migrant Teacher of the Year.
Guillermo Gonzalez said, "I was real shocked. It was shocking. I didn't expect it at all."
Gonzalez moved throughout Mexico, Texas, and Florida with his migrant family. He graduated from Florida State University in 2003 and began teaching in Gadsden County soon after.
Now a legal resident, he wants to give back.
Maria Pouncey, Migrant Coordinator for PAEC, said, "Mr. Gonzalez has been an inspiration to all of us. He had worked with our program in the evening and also volunteers all through college teaching English to our parents and to some of our students, giving them additional homework help."
Gonzalez received Migrant Teacher of the Year for 2005, but officials wanted to wait until he recovered from a tragic car accident that left him in a wheelchair.
Gonzalez said, "I decided I can do this. I decided to come back and teach. I knew there was going to be a struggle because I'm not walking yet, but that didn't stop me from doing what I like doing."
Teaching at West Gadsden High, Gonzalez also teaches many of the 275 migrant students in a migrant summer program at George Munroe Elementary.
He says he hopes his teaching and life is an inspiration to his students.

AMP v. Myriad – Oral Argument
The Federal Circuit heard oral argument in Association of Molecular Pathology v. USPTO on Monday, April 4. The case comes to the Federal Circuit on appeal from the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. There, a number of plaintiffs represented by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the Public Patent Foundation brought suit against the USPTO and Myriad Genetics, asserting that Myriad’s patent claims to certain isolated, purified breast cancer DNA sequences and related methods were invalid as unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. § 101 as natural products, natural phenomena, or abstract ideas. The plaintiffs prevailed against Myriad at this district court, and Myriad appealed the decision to the Federal Circuit, where a panel of Judges Bryson, Lourie, and Moore heard arguments.
Arguments on behalf of Myriad first focused on jurisdictional issues, then on substantive matters of patentability of the claimed products and methods. Counsel for Myriad argued that the defendants did not engage in meaningful preparation to practice the asserted claims. Judge Moore questioned whether operating under the threat of a cease and desist letter, though several years old, might be enough for declaratory judgment, and whether a burden may in some instances shift to a patentee to show that there is no threat of continued litigation. Myriad argued in response that the threat of litigation had here been removed. When argument turned to the issues of patentability, Judge Bryson asked for clarification of the scope of the isolated, purified nucleic acid claims. In response, counsel for Myriad referred to the USPTO utility guidelines, which refer to the patentability of isolated genes. All three judges on the panel asked questions drawing analogies to mining, purifying, and patenting purified elements such as gold and lithium. Myriad acknowledged that it believed such minerals to be patentable under § 101, but placed greater emphasis on an analogy to extracting wood from a tree to make a baseball bat. Myriad then presented arguments that its method claims to analyzing and comparing were analogous to other claims recently ruled to be patentable subject matter.
At the outset of the ACLU arguments, Judge Moore steered the focus to jurisdictional issues. The arguments addressed whether any one plaintiff would be “ready, willing, and able” to practice the asserted patent claims, with the ACLU arguing that several researchers satisfied this requirement because sequencing the patent-protected isolated genes would be a trivial matter. On the merits, the panel again invoked analogies to patentability of purified natural substances, biological and inorganic, in questioning the ACLU. The ACLU drew another analogy between removing genomic DNA and removing a kidney from the body; both, the ACLU argued, involved procedures to remove a part of the body that remained the same once extracted. The court turned its attention to the functions of nucleic acids in the cell as compared to the functions of nucleic acids in isolated and purified form, and the ACLU characterized the functions of both as bonding to opposing strands. The ACLU concluded arguing that the method claims at issue brought about no transformation, but merely mental processes that one could infringe by looking at two sets of nucleotide sequences on a computer screen.
As we previously reported, the Department of Justice (DOJ) filed an amicus brief in this case. Acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal represented the U.S. government’s positions from that brief. The Solicitor General did not address the jurisdictional issues, but instead went directly to the substantive patentability issues. The importance of human ingenuity and the unimportance of any living-nonliving distinction formed the basis for much of the government’s argument. The Solicitor General repeatedly proposed a “magic microscope” view of isolated, purified nucleic acid sequences, saying that if one could examine a segment of a nucleic acid molecule in the body with a magic microscope, one would see the same matter as if one could examine isolated, purified nucleic acid. Judge Lourie questioned the Solicitor General from several angles on the issue, including the mined elements analogy, the ACLU’s focus on genes as abstract information, and the significance of purification with respect to the product claims. Judge Moore further questioned the Solicitor General as to the effect of Congress’s silence in the face of long-standing USPTO practice regarding isolated, purified nucleic acid as patentable. Because this is a question of law, the Solicitor General stated that Congressional acquiescence alone should not be determinative.
Myriad’s rebuttal arguments dealt again with both jurisdictional and substantive patentability issues. Judge Moore asked why mere extraction should render a product patentable, to which counsel for Myriad replied that the extraction was no trivial matter. Judge Bryson asked for further clarification as to whether Myriad would argue that isolating naturally-occurring chemical elements, like isolating segments of human nucleic acids, could produce a patentable product if the isolation process involved breaking covalent bonds. Myriad conceded that such a product could be patentable under its views of § 101.
If Myriad ultimately prevails in this case, then isolated, purified segments of naturally-occurring human nucleic acid will continue to be patentable subject matter under § 101, consistent with current USPTO practice. Because for-profit endeavors have greater incentive to engage in research that may yield patent-protectable discoveries, a ruling in Myriad’s favor would encourage privately-funded genetic research. To the extent that courts disagree with Myriad and current USPTO practice, whether to the extent of the DOJ or to the further extent of the ACLU, various formulations composed of or comprising nucleic acids may then fall outside of the scope of patentable subject matter under § 101. A ruling in favor of the DOJ or the ACLU may allow a researchers and medical professionals to more-easily build upon or practice previously-discovered knowledge of genetics, at the expense of some incentive for private research to pursue new genetic discoveries. | <urn:uuid:d3503012-691a-4260-9e12-40a73761af01> | CC-MAIN-2017-34 | http://www.oblon.com/news/amp-v-myriad-oral-argument/ | 2017-08-23T19:31:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-34/segments/1502886123359.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20170823190745-20170823210745-00330.warc.gz | en | 0.932885 | 1,243 |
From start to end of service, Ps Ed teared. Overwhelmed by the Father’s love.
The father ran, hugged, kissed, gave him the robes of righteousness, the ring, shod his feet with sandals, killed the fatted calf… Filled with love and compassion, the father ran.
My son who is dead is now alive again
If u think u have a situation that is dying, give it to the LORD. He will cause it to return to life.
We can never outgive Him.
Lord’s Prayer (special item)
In the OT, wherever the ark went prosperity sprung and the enemies were defeated. The ark of God is an amazing picture, the greatest visual aid for us to ustd the personal and finished work of Jesus Christ.
More than 200 salvations at the Mid Autumn festival. Just counting those who came to the connect points to inform church.
A 104yo opera singer in SG passed away. This lady had been coming to NCC and was saved a few years ago.
In heaven u can’t do anything to expand his kingdom on earth, only here.
Jesus didn’t give us ceremonies and rituals. But communion we do it in remembrance of Him. Remember HIM, not yourself. From Him comes your victory and salvation and help. Lift up eyes to the hill of Zion. His name is victory and strength.
The earth and all creation had fallen. Mosquitos not created to cause destruction. One little thing can cause so much trouble in the world. But for us, trust God and live life normal. Opportunity for God to glorify Himself in your life. In the midst of the bad thing, God will protect u. Terror, economic uncertainties…. We know the answers aren’t horizontal. It’s in looking up. God is still in charge and in control. We need to pray. Even though He is in in charge we should pray. Relationship. Even if it is a groan, God hears it.
Whosoever believes in Jesus… God foreknows we will receive Jesus. He knows how we will use our choice. And for those God foreknew, He predestines us.
Free will and predestination- Pastor believes in both.
Spurgeon- whosoever will may come on the gates when we arrive.
Believe on Christ and receive eternal life.
Predestined from the foundation of the world- on the gates when we enter and look back.
Dead to the law- stirrings to the flesh is curbed.
Gnosticism says body is evil? Everything is evil. That’s wrong. God could have given us food that are all bitter. He gives us diff tastes and desires. But he wants us to enjoy it the way He wants us to enjoy it. Not to yield to every lust we have. Intentions programmed into us are from God. Even with eating, eat to His glory.
The cross of Jesus Christ doesn’t just saves us from eternal damnation but a righteous foundation for God to send rain and seasons.
Acts of God? Insurance companies definition wrong. Look up to Heaven- no tornados, no hospitals, no indication of evil. Health come to my body. Prosperity come (Heaven has streets of gold, no poverty mindset. Don’t abuse money also coz love of money is the problem. Money isn’t the problem. The desire for it is.)
God gave law not to justify men by it.
Dead to the law that we might bring forth fruit to God. Sanctification- bring forth fruit.
Unless dead to the law cannot live a fruitful life.
When God gave the law and someone says I’m not so bad. “I’ve never murdered” but “have u ever been angry?
Law holy. Can’t make people holy.
Refer to the religious laws. Not the courts of law.
Not under demand. Under supply.
U will coz He will supply U
Under law, iniquities are visited through generations. Under the cross, “I will remember your sin no more.”
God can’t forgive at th expense of His righteousness.
The cross is the answer- He took our place
V19 Some people look at someone for eg a prostitute and say they will never be as sinful as her. Don’t judge. We don’t know what her struggles were.
There is a righteousness that is apart from the law. Witnessed by the law and the prophets.
Moses – law
They were there to witness to the righteousness of God. Fear not.
The more shame u put on them, the more they go on a moral arrest. Be frank about physical desires to our children. Teach them virginity is to be kept under lock and key. But for those fallen, don’t self condemn.
Righteousness of God is offered/available to all. Doesn’t come to all. We believe, it’s on us.
V23- so focuses on this but many forget V22, V24 (justified FREELY- freely on your part without a coat but on God’s part, He gave His Son) , 25
It was not free for God. He paid. The love of God provided His Son, the righteousness of God exacted the payment. Jesus didn’t pay the devil to free us. The love of God paid the righteousness of God.
Grace can’t be cheap because Jesus bled on the cross, God gave His Son.
The enemy wants to blind the world to the goodness of God.
God is Holy that’s why there must be a cross because if not it will be at the expense of His righteousness.
GRACE is God provide everything for u to believe in Him. Other faiths don’t have this.
Obedience of faith- when we believe in His righteous
Obey is to believe.
Believe on Him whom I have sent
Not all who call Jesus LORD LORD is saved.
He that doeth the will of the Father will be saved.
Most think it is doing.
But the other chapt corroborate that the will of the Father is for us to believe in Jesus
When He comes back for the final judgment, everyone will know who He is
The uncle who was hired to make the ark, not believer, but got saved!! 🙂 First time he has made something for the true God, he said.
Based the size on the cubits.
“…As a propitiation by His blood, through faith…” – big word used twice only in the New Testament. But used during every appearance of the mercy seat in Scriptures.
This is where no Zika, no disease can come
U are in a place of safety. Wings speak of protection. U aren’t an ordinary person.
Blood sprinkled on mercy seat.
Holiest place ever. In the middle of the encampment (pic of the Cross).
Holiest- sanctified. Separated unto God. Set aside.
Jesus in John 17… even Jesus sanctifies Himself.
Love is about giving and not getting.
We don’t put our precious jewels by the toilet bowl. We put our books there lol. We put our precious jewels under lock and key in a safe.
Some have fine China- only used for special guests.
Set aside. Made precious.
Holiest thing u can meditate on is His mercy. The holiest of the holiest.
Yom Kippir- blood sprinkled on the mercy seat
Mercy seat – wherever it is mentioned in Septuagint.
Hebrews 9:5 (mercy seat, propitiation)
Entrance is the East.
That’s why we sing as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our sins from us
Priest takes the blood and Lev 16:14
Once on the mercy seat— Jesus only have to die once
7 outside of it? —- you have PERFECT standing before God
7- number of perfection (everything is in 7s- multiples of 7)
So we can come to Him boldly for grace during our time of need. If we are perfect, we won’t need shed blood.
U obtain mercy and find grace to help…
Mercy is not getting the bad u deserve.
Grace is getting the good u don’t deserve.
We get it both ways. 🙂
U make mockery of Grace, u mock Jesus. It points to Jesus. When u wanna judge any preaching, question who does it glorify? Man or Jesus?
Don’t think u need to be a bible scholar or Greek scholar, or fear theologians. Fisherman can understand the bible. Tax collectors can understand the bible.
God understands our motives. God sees through everything. Nothing is hidden from God. Everything is naked and open before God. And HE LOVES US.
On the night he was betrayed, Jesus knowing the Father gave Him ALL things into His hands… What did he do next with His all powerful hands? He took them and used them to wash His disciples’ hand.
Jesus gave Judas Iscariot the piece of bread and put into his mouth. Most honoured guest. After He said one of u will betray Me, He gave it one last chance. When Judas kissed Him, He asked, “Friend did U come and betray me?”
He could have waited and not commit suicide. Peter also betrayed him. Suicide is a form of self righteousness.
Jesus was 100% man (acacia wood) – cried, felt pain st the cross, got tired and never sinned. He was tested but never tempted by sin. Jesus was also 100% God (overlaid with gold)
The mercy seat or cover is 100% gold, beaten from one slab of gold. No wood.
For us to enjoy the mercy seat, Jesus was beaten.
The two cherubs- guardians of God’s judicial righteousness. Mentioned first at the garden of Eden- God drove Adam and Eve out. And at the entrance of the garden of Eden, placed cherubims so no one could come through. Guardians of God’s righteousness. First mention of sword.
Last mention in OT of ‘sword’- awake oh sword and smite my fellow (aka my Son).
He walked through and the cross should have been lifted up in honour Him but because He carried our sins, the swords pierced Him and the way was cleared.
What is under the mercy seat? Items that represent man’s rebellion.
“We must keep the law to be moral”- that led to licentiousness. The law stirs up sinful flesh.
Tablets of stone- man’s rejection of God’s standard
Manna- man’s rejection of God’s provision
Aaron’s rod- man’s rejection of God’s appointed leadership
It’s not about how much theology u know but are people’s lives being transformed supernaturally?
And blood is put over them.
Grace is higher than law. So when we try to keep the law, we have fallen from grace. We always fall from a higher place.
God’s eyes can penetrate anything but His Son’s blood. And His blood covers all of us who believe.
There IS sin in us but God cannot see sin because He sees Jesus’ blood.
God can be righteous because of Jesus’ finished work. For Him to reject anyone or punish anyone it is to do so at the expense of His righteousness and holiness.
People who are hard on people and criticise fallen kids, when they realise their own kids are doing wrong, they change their tune.
Btw, to put pastor’s sermons out there for free downloads, it is stealing. So please don’t do that. Be fair to him. He has to feed Justin. Justin eats a lot.
V37- God will never force protection on us. Willing to cover them. Wings pic of protection. Wish He could have gathered them like this.
In a time like this where people are fearful, believe God for protection.
U must have to consent to His protection.
And another part of the gospel, He foresaw the armies would come and also, the Holocaust. And He wept.
V38- Your house and no longer “My Father’s House”
The world we live in has a sense of unprotection.
V21- keep here is to keep from injury and danger
God loves me. God gave Jesus for me. He died in my place. I am loved. Practice His love.
When u practice the love of Jesus, u won’t feel vulnerable
Goliath means “to strip”
The enemy today tries to strip us of our righteousness consciousness. To make us feel unloved and condemned. Satan is called the accuser.
AMEN (be it unto me)
V7- so near right? But these evils WILL NOT touch u.
Every Word of scripture is God breathed.
God has preserved His Word even now.
Brother from Wisconsin
Deaf and only child. Told birth was a mistake. Sexually abused ages 6. Abused until 12yo. His bio dad died when he was 9. Never met him. $350/day drug habit. Funded by crime. Caught. Prison. Came out. Got hooked. Had to go rehab. His wife discovered the sermon and they read Ps’ books and watched sermon via CC. Freed from addictions and free until now. Became senior pastor for the deaf. Preaches online. Used to persecute Christians. Life changed. Many in his church also have transformed lives.
Lady from California
Replaying a sermon where prayer for protection was prayed at the end. She paused message and called her 17yo girl to come and participate and receive the prayer. During the prayer, prayed won’t die in our sleep. Didn’t have that fear, but received it anyway. Woke up and felt really ill. Daughter also unwell. Same symptoms. Went A&E and found out both had carbon monoxide poisoning coz heater spoiled. God heard and answered and woke them up just in time so they could be treated. Many people die in their sleep from similar incidents.
Romans 3:25 NLT
Covering during Yom Kippur isn’t payment. It’s like a credit card bill that is mounting debts.
Jesus is true payment. And He paid for all throughout time- He is outside time.
V26- Jesus is our justifier. God is just in justifying us. All our sins were paid by Jesus blood shed on the cross.
Give God the greatest glory when we declare I am the righteousness of God in Christ
People without revelation ask how can we say that? We must confess our sins. There is a place for confessing our sins BUT the greatest confession we can make is we are the righteousness of God in Christ.
Mary Magdalene ran on resurrection morning. Didn’t know Jesus had risen.
Angels sitting. Not standing or flying as they usually are said to be in the bible. Work is finished.
She cried. She saw the mercy seat.
Jesus first words “Woman why weepeth thou?”
Adam was the first gardener. She thought Jesus was the gardener. He is the gardener that has restored.
He healed her heart. He cares for us and loves us.
First mention of crying in OT- Haggar crying for her son. First mention of crying in NT- Rachel weeping for her children. Lots of weeping and crying.
Jesus wept to dry our tears. Forsaken that we can have God’s constant presence and love.
God is reaching out to u and cares for u and ur broken heart. The devil wants u to look at self and sorrows and uncleaness BUT Jesus wants u to look to Him to be blessed.
He that comes to Jesus, He will not cast down.
I come to Him and find rest.
Help me Father. Give me grace to realise and to be more conscious of the length, breadth and depth of Your love for me.
Run to the throne of Grace to find help in your time of need.

Paul George is Ready to be the Man
Indiana gave Miami all they could handle in the Conference Finals this past postseason. The Heat would eventually go on to repeat as NBA Champions. It was obviously a tough way for Indiana’s season to end but on the flip side they gained confidence that should carry over into the new season.
The one burning question for the Pacers has always been who will be the go-to-guy? Reigning Most Improved Player of the Year Paul George thinks he’s the answer.
“This whole summer, I really trained being the go-to guy and the lead guy for our team. Last year, we still had Danny and did not know the results (of Granger’s injury) coming into the year. I had a role that I had kind of prepared for and trained for. This year, it was more about training to be the No. 1 guy and lead this team.”
Danny Granger is the one guy that could either make this work or make it a failure. He has to understand that it’s Paul George team now.Powered by Sidelines | <urn:uuid:bc23655a-3431-4e5e-b1c1-dea5310baa24> | CC-MAIN-2015-18 | http://blacksportsonline.com/home/2013/08/paul-george-is-ready-to-be-the-man/ | 2015-04-21T21:29:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-18/segments/1429246643283.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20150417045723-00242-ip-10-235-10-82.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.983869 | 231 |

Delaware Governor Says Legalization Won't Happen on His Watch. "We've got a lot more to learn" before legalizing marijuana, Gov. Jack Markell (D) said in an interview. "I'm certainly willing to look at the decriminalization aspect. I am not in support of doing what they've done in Colorado or Washington state or a few other places, doing full legalization," Markell added. "It's not gonna happen while I'm governor. It may be the right thing. But I don't think we know. I think we need to take a few years and see what the impact has been in some of these other states." The legislature will take up a decriminalization bill this month.DC City Council Approves Emergency Action to Ban Cannabis Clubs. The council voted unanimously today to ban cannabis clubs, as well as smoking it in bars, clubs, and virtually anywhere else outside a private residence. Mayor Muriel Bowser said the legislation was needed to close a loophole that could allow cannabis clubs, but legalization proponents criticized the move, saying it was unneeded and overly broad. They also warned that passage could render void an agreement they had with Bowser to try to tamp down public displays of pot smoking that could provoke congressional hardliners.
DC Police Chief Says All Marijuana Arrests Do Is "Make People Hate Us." DC Police Chief Kathy Lanier has said that alcohol is a bigger problem than pot and that arresting people for marijuana doesn't accomplish anything. "Marijuana smokers are not going to attack and kill a cop," Lanier said while speaking at the American News Women's Club. "They just want to get a bag of chips and relax. Alcohol is a much bigger problem. All those marijuana arrests do is make people hate us."
NYPD Commissioner Blames Marijuana for Jump in Murders. The NYPD blames marijuana for a 20% increase in homicides in the city. "The seemingly innocent drug that's being legalized around the country -- in this city, people are killing each other over marijuana," said Commissioner Bill Bratton. Reform advocates were quick to point out that the killings were a function of prohibition, not anything intrinsic to marijuana.
Maine Bill Seeks to Block Local Legalization Initiatives. Rep. James Campbell (I-Newfield) has filed a bill that says municipal marijuana legalization petitions "may not be approved for inclusion on the ballot or considered at any town meeting." The measure, LD 67, is currently before the Senate Committee on State and Local Government. Legalization proponents have successfully used local initiatives to win votes in some of the state's largest cities.
Texas Marijuana Legalization Bill Filed. Rep. David Simpson (R-Longview) yesterday introduced House Bill 2165, which would legalize marijuana by removing all mention of the drug from state statutes. "Let's allow the plant to be utilized for good -- helping people with seizures, treating warriors with PTSD, producing fiber and other products -- or simply for beauty and enjoyment," Simpson said.
Washington Senate Passes Bill to Ban Marijuana Vending Machines. The Senate voted 47-0 yesterday to approve a bill banning pot sales in vending machines or drive-through windows. The measure is Senate Bill 5903. It now moves to the House.
In Historic Verdict, Jury Acquits Florida Patient on Marijuana Charge. A Broward County jury effectively nullified the state's marijuana laws Monday by acquitting a defendant who testified that he grew and used pot for medicinal purposes. Jesse Teplicki testified at his trial that he smoked marijuana to treat the nausea and suppressed appetite that had been plaguing him for years. The jury deliberated for less than an hour before returning with a verdict of "not guilty." Teplicki, 50, was looking at up to five years in state prison if convicted.
Utah Medical Marijuana Bill Held Up. Sen. Mark Madsen (R-Saratoga Springs) tried to persuade his colleagues to hold a quick vote on Senate Bill 259 after a brief debate yesterday, but that didn't happen. The bill is now on hold with 10 days left in the session.
Wyoming Legislative Interim Committee Could Take Up Asset Forfeiture Reform. After the state Senate failed to override a veto of a civil asset forfeiture reform measure by Gov. Matt Mead (R), the Joint Judiciary Committee met yesterday to come up with a list of topics it wants to consider before the next session. Asset forfeiture reform is one of them, but the final decision will be made by a Management Committee consisting of legislative leaders from both parties.
Rehabilitation and Reentry
New Mexico Bill Restricting Use of Criminal Record Queries for Job Applicants Passes Senate. The Criminal Offender Employment Eligibility Act (Senate Bill 583) passed the Senate yesterday and heads to the House. The "ban the box" bill bars private employers from asking on an application form if someone has a criminal conviction, or from considering a conviction before the final round of an employment decision. Six other states have similar law. New Mexico already has a similar law that applies to public employees.
INCB Annual Report Scolds US, Uruguay Over Marijuana Legalization. The UN's drug watchdog body, the International Narcotics Control Board, has wagged a finger at Uruguay, which became the first country to legalize marijuana, and at the US, where two states were singled out for criticism for having legalized it. The scolding came in the INCB's annual report, released today.
Leading Paraguayan Senator Calls for Marijuana Reforms. Senator Blas Llano, chair of the National Congress, has called for an end to pot prohibition in a bid to "put an end to the drug traffickers' business." Paraguay is the leading marijuana producers in South America and second only to Mexico in Latin America.
Iran Hangs Eight for Drug Offenses in Past Week. At least people have been executed for drug crimes by Iranian authorities in the past week, according to the death penalty watch group Hands Off Cain. Iran executed hundreds of drug offenders last year and dozens so far this year. It is the world's leading drug executioner.
Indonesia Prepares to Execute 10 For Drug Offenses. Nine foreigners and one Indonesian citizen are set to be executed by Indonesian authorities later this week. Preparations at the execution site have been completed, and the prisoners are set to be transferred there tomorrow. The killings of foreigners have led to diplomatic disputes with some of their home countries, but that has not deterred Indonesian President Joko Widodo, who has consistently supported the death penalty for drug smuggling. | <urn:uuid:76fa7aa7-39a9-4058-9fb5-469d98e2fa78> | CC-MAIN-2015-22 | http://stopthedrugwar.org/taxonomy/term/47?page=7 | 2015-05-29T04:16:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-22/segments/1432207929869.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20150521113209-00149-ip-10-180-206-219.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.958316 | 1,388 |

So what do I think about that?
Nothing. Here is why.
- It doesn't matter. Where we all place in March is what matters.
- Polls are just everyone's best guess based upon last year's results, who we have returning, who we have signed, etc.
- Polls don't predict what players have done during their offseasons.
- Polls can't predict injuries.
- Polls can't predict if a team gets hit by the swine flu.
Between now and March, a million things will happen throughout the season. My goal for the Bobcats isn't to focus on the million things but just the ONE thing at the time it presents itself.

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard gave his full support to the club's decision to pursue a regeneration of Anfield rather than build a new stadium elsewhere.
"I'm really pleased. I've had some special occasions at Anfield and so have the club," the England midfielder said. "If they are going to spend all that money on Anfield and improve it then fantastic.
"It has been on everyone's lips for a number of years now, would we move away from Anfield or reinvent Anfield?
"A lot of history and important things have happened at Anfield and I think it is fantastic Liverpool are staying there."
Gerrard, talking ahead of England's World Cup qualifier against Poland, was in reflective mood as he enters the autumn of his career, for club and country.
"I'm coming up to my 99th England cap but I'm loving it as much as if it was my first," he said. "I've been around the set-up an awful long time. But I don't feel old, I'm not getting bored with it. I still feel fresh and I’m looking forward to the game as much as my debut."
"It's what the majority of fans want..."
Liverpool managing director Ian Ayre is confident the club have made the right decision in choosing to redevelop Anfield.
While a new ground in Stanley Park would provide the required 60,000-seat capacity as well as increased hospitality opportunities and state-of-the-art facilities, its cost - estimated at over £300million - is prohibitive.
With news that Liverpool City Council have secured funding to regenerate the Anfield area, the football club now plan to proceed with plans to expand and improve their home for the last 120 years.
It was always the preferred option of principal owner John Henry, whose Fenway Sports Group did a similar thing with their baseball team Boston Red Sox's Fenway Park.
"I was the person who showed John around Anfield the first time they ever came to Liverpool," Ayre said.
"We were in the tunnel area at Anfield and I remember him saying to me, 'Why would we want to build a new stadium? This is like Fenway. This is the home of Liverpool Football Club'.
"We also had a duty and process we had to go through which was to study every opportunity, every solution. The right solution is one that is sustainable and is in the long-term interests of Liverpool Football Club.
"It's great that it is hopefully Anfield because I think that's what the majority of our fans want. There are still some steps to take, but we're confident they're the right ones.
"As you would expect from a financial point of responsibility, we've considered the variety of different solutions we could have, what they cost, whether they're economically viable and we're comforted with the fact we can deliver something on the site concerned."
Those steps include securing the necessary planning permissions to radically alter the Main Stand and Anfield Road end, at an estimated cost of £150million, as well as the land surrounding the ground - where some streets still have occupied houses.
"It's not as if we haven't considered what we can build on that site, what we can do to expand and there are various different solutions to that," Ayre added on liverpoolfc.com.
"But it would be wrong and extremely presumptuous of us to assume that somebody's home can be acquired until the proper process is gone through.
"But until we get further down the track it's not responsible for anyone to suggest 'We'll build this, it'll look like that, we'll knock that person's house down...'.
"Everyone wants to know the end solution right now but we don't know that - just as we didn't two years ago know whether we were staying or moving.
"We'll go through it in the timescale we need to go through to deliver it properly with respect for everybody that's involved." | <urn:uuid:9ed7ad12-6d02-4eff-98c6-033fc3ab9b1c> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/liverpool-captain-steven-gerrard-fully-1381258 | 2017-11-22T19:13:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806620.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20171122175744-20171122195744-00180.warc.gz | en | 0.98515 | 813 |

Years ago I read a great short story by former Google executive Christian Baudis. This story described a day in the life of a man whose every move was tracked by devices. Life as he knew it was dominated by an environment that looked a lot like the Internet of Things (IoT) taken to a sci-fi extreme. For example, in this fictional world, cash didn’t exist; payment was done by a chip attached to human skin.
Another device was a health-tracking scanner that changed the way practitioners managed patient care. It created a need for more IT administrators with minimal backgrounds in human biology and medicine. They were called DQPs, which was short for “Digital Quality Providers.”
It was a fascinating story.
Today, I came across an article in a newspaper that described a cool healthcare innovation: smart bandages. These bandages will use 5G and wireless networks to track the healing process. To me this is super interesting, especially because I’m a sports fanatic and there are so many applications for this technology to treat injuries of all kinds. In today’s “modern” medicine, you don’t know if an injury is healed until you unwrap the bandage, which usually requires another trip to the doctor to give you the thumbs-up.
Imagine if you could unwrap the bandage at home after an app dictates it’s safe to do so. The smart bandage app is continuously connected to a server, collecting, monitoring and correlating data—and gathering results that can be shared digitally with a healthcare provider as needed. Very cool.
Let’s assume you have a smart bandage and the server that is collecting your data is hosted in a datacenter with the necessary protection from outside access like a firewalls, intrusion prevention systems and advanced threat protection systems. Sounds pretty safe, right?
But what about access from within? What if an adversary — a rogue user or disgruntled administrator — uses the LAN to gain access to the server? What if the smart bandage itself is hacked into and the data is manipulated or tainted in some way? A determined hacker could easily access your health records and possibly provide instructions based on incorrect data. That same hacker could even gain access to other sensitive data available digitally on the hospital network.
We’re seeing broad and rapid adoption of IoT devices, especially in the healthcare space, but with a profound lag in cybersecurity precautions. Being able to see these connected devices and being able to control and manage them is imperative when it comes to minimizing the vulnerabilities these connected devices can create.
The moral of the story: the IoT is cool and new use cases and innovations are becoming available daily, proving that Christian Baudis’ vision of a connected world wasn’t very far off. But keep in mind, proper visibility and control of IoT devices is key to keeping networks (and patients) safe. | <urn:uuid:1f72b9a5-5b08-4137-a5d0-94e13f7c7f8c> | CC-MAIN-2020-05 | https://www.forescout.com/company/blog/band-aid-approach-wont-secure-healthcare-networks/ | 2020-01-18T19:42:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-05/segments/1579250593937.27/warc/CC-MAIN-20200118193018-20200118221018-00183.warc.gz | en | 0.954239 | 603 |
He’s pushing forty. He drinks. He smokes. He eats snack cakes for breakfast. And he’s the sole guardian of his orphaned nephew, Spencer.
But Spencer isn’t just any five-year-old. He’s a child prodigy, and living together requires compromises that neither uncle nor nephew are prepared to make.
This short story, from the author of Fender and The Fifteenth of June, is teeming with raunch and dark humor, mocking the old adage that blood is thicker than water.
A Book With No Pictures also introduces readers to children’s librarian, Afton Morrison, the subject of an upcoming thriller series, also set in the fictional town of Wakefield.
This short little book (27 pages) sure did have an awful lot to say. The main character, a divorcee named Terry, ends up having to raise his nephew, Spencer, when his brother and sister in-law are killed birdwatching. Yep, you read that right….birdwatching. Just to give you an idea of the humor in the book. Terry isn’t a very nice guy, and is always thinking his nephew is an idiot.
So it’s filled with sarcastic humor. I didn’t know if I was going to like it when I first started reading the first few pages, but I really ended up enjoying it. It is really different from anything I’ve read before, with its quirky and sarcastic humor.

Had a great drive up with Louly all the way from Methven
up into the mountains of Central Otago to Roxburgh.
Where the heck is Roxburgh?
It's by Alexandra in the mountains where cherries and other stone fruit come from
although the cherries we bought were crap.
Why is it called Roxburgh but said Rocksborough.
Were it's Scots founders being stingy on the vowels when it came time to spell Roxburgh?
That's like the story of Mags birth certificate -
it was easier to spell Margaret than Margarita so that's what she got.
Louly and I were presenting our third of seven Clubs Insight training to the top tables of some of the Otago/Southland clubs.
The ones I meet were good guys doing their best to lead their clubs and doing pretty well.
Now when I wander the land talking to groups of Young Farmers
I actually know a few of them
which is nice cause that way I don't have to talk about farming,
not that I do cause although I know more than I realise it's still relative
and talking farming is an opinionated sportand who wants to make hideous gaffs about things like welding irrigators??
The fab Nessie
(I do have to say she has wonderful skin)
was there cause Roxburgh is only an hour from Becks.
After Louly and I wandered the streets of Roxburgh looking for a motel
and found one with fantastic double glazing but no eftpost
not that mattered cause they still took credit cards
with one of those old fashioned manual zipzap machines
(that makes them sound super fast and ultra modern)
we realised that we should have just gone and stayed with Ness in Becks
then I could have slept in that divine bed again
plus I could have worked on fixing a sweet bloke up a sweet girl I know but I didn't think that through as well as I could cause when I was making plans
I needed to be back in Leeston by 11.30am today.
That was completely mental cause it's a 6 hour and 20 minute drive
drive??? drive makes it sound like a pleasant wander through bucolic scenery
instead of a hell for leather race down the mountain sides to my home on the plains.
But once I found cellphone coverage I phoned and changed the time to 4pm
and they were late anyway!
They got lost, silly townie folk getting lost in the country.
So I find myself in bed at 8.30pm with a hotwater bottle and an extra blanket waiting for it to get dark enough to go to sleep
cause I'm a grown up and can go to bed when ever I want, damn it.
Remember what it was like when you were a kid and your mum would make you go to bed at 7.30pm and it was still light out and you could hear ALL the neighbourhood kids playing outside?
yeah well it's not like that in Leeston or Roxburgh cause there are no kids and lots of trucks, actually I don't know about Roxburgh cause the double glazing made a quiet town silent. | <urn:uuid:fedd84b8-484e-4b24-b623-c91275b2dc70> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://sarainterrupted.blogspot.com/2010/12/whirlwind.html | 2018-05-24T06:17:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794865928.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20180524053902-20180524073902-00281.warc.gz | en | 0.981223 | 654 |
Dow drops before inching back, produce labels you can trust, a rise in workplace harassment.
•Maybe all this alarm over global warming doesn't have as many people caught up in it as previously assumed. At least not if it leads to higher fuel taxes as a way of trying to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions. Forty-eight percent of respondents told a survey by the National Center for Public Policy Research they oppose even a 1-cent hike in gasoline levies. Only 18 percent said they were willing to pay the 50-cent-a-gallon increase proposed by US Rep. John Dingell (D) of Michigan.
•Generally, you can trust "organically grown" labels when you're buying meat, poultry, or produce at the supermarket, advises ShopSmart magazine, a publication of Consumers Union. Its editors say such items often are worth paying extra for. But not always. For example, organic certification standards have yet to be developed for seafood. Other labels to be cautious about: "Free-Range" or "Natural" on poultry and meats and "Shade-Grown" in the case of coffee.
•Women in the workplace say they're noticing an increase in sexually explicit remarks and they don't appreciate it. Boston-based Novations Group, a consulting firm, says female respondents to its recent survey reported a 17 percent jump between 2006 and 2007 in what they consider the most common form of harassment. In all, 42 percent of the women in the poll said they'd endured inappropriate comments last year. | <urn:uuid:bf3bc7f1-3d8a-467f-8c11-58941309fc07> | CC-MAIN-2014-41 | http://m.csmonitor.com/Business/2008/0324/p14s01-wmgn.html | 2014-09-22T15:16:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-41/segments/1410657137056.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20140914011217-00064-ip-10-234-18-248.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.964953 | 311 |
You don’t have to be a size 0 to look smokin’ hot in lingerie. This article will help you to look sexy and seductive in your undergarments no matter your size or shape.
Even if you’re not a fashion model, you can look fabulous in a red corset or dominate in the bedroom in a sexy, yet classy matching bra and panty set. Feeling and looking sultry is all about your attitude. Well, maybe I lied a bit. A part of exuding sexiness includes following a few simple tips.
It doesn’t matter whether you’re in an A-cup, you’re 5′ 0” or you’re not a size 5. You might be self-conscious, but never reveal that to him. Instead, hold your head high, straddle him with confidence and give him a seductive smile. There’s nothing sexier than a woman who is secure with her body.
2. Choose Your Colors Wisely
You’ve probably been told not to judge based on color, but when it comes to fashion that rule doesn’t apply. You can never go wrong with red or black or even a combination of the two. Black is a darker color that is slimming and always smokin hot. Red is a faithful standby as well. Vivid strawberry hues are flattering on almost any figure.
3. Work It Out
Of course working out on a regular basis will help develop well-defined muscles and a taunt body, but working out right before sex will give you the appearance of toned muscles without costing you a gym membership. Yep, that’s right. I said it. You can look more in-shape by doing situps right before – or at least a few hours before – doing the deed. If you want your legs to look more toned, try going for a run before going all the way. You’ll more than likely want to get a shower before letting him take it all off. There’s nothing sexy about sweaty hair, unless of course it comes from having sex.
4. Be Bold and Daring
While certain looks are probably reliable for you, not every bedroom escapade has to be in the see-through black babydoll you wore on your first romantic getaway. He may have loved it then, but the same lingerie or even the same style of undergarments can get a little boring. Don’t hesitate to spice it up and be risky!
5. Want Stunning Legs
If you want him to grab you by the thigh and work his way up, you have to have legs that look appeasing. Achieve slimmer and longer looking legs by wearing high heels. A pair of stockings will help as well. Stockings make your legs look slimmer and smoother. Almost any intimate apparel goes well with this look.
Use a bronzer on your skin. Your skin will look smooth, silky and almost flawless. Sun-kissed skin is hot, but you don’t want to damage your skin in the sun or look orange by using fake tanners. That’s what makes bronzer the ideal solution.
7.Moisturize and Exfoliate
Moisturizing and exfoliating your skin will give your skin that natural glow as well. Taking care of your skin not only gives your skin a smooth appearance, it aids in your skin being silky to the touch. | <urn:uuid:f6c36955-0d9e-4e22-9ffa-bd3413eb4756> | CC-MAIN-2017-43 | http://chembarathy.in/glamour/tips-for-looking-glamour-in-lingerie/ | 2017-10-23T10:03:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-43/segments/1508187825889.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20171023092524-20171023112524-00896.warc.gz | en | 0.946297 | 727 |

Last December, the sports-streaming service DAZN lowered its subscription price in Brazil, from BRL 37.90 to BRL 19.90. In an interview with LABS, the company’s executive vice president in the country, Bruno Rocha, stated that the new price is part of a strategy to accelerate the growth of the platform in Brazil, also supported by the exclusivity of smaller soccer championships, such as the Paranaense Championship (of teams from Parana, Southern Brazilian state) and by competitions from other sports, such as NBB, the top-tier club competition of the Brazilian Basketball League, in addition to the production of original content.
Worldwide, streaming in general can beat paid TV in number of users in 30 countries as early as 2020, according to a survey by consultancy Ampere Analysis. But within a niche such as sports and in a country where the transmission of the main events in the segment is monopolized by one or two communication groups, this dispute is still far from a definition.
DAZN was born in 2016 in Europe and Japan–it only arrived in the United States, the land of opportunities when it comes to streaming, in the second half of 2018. Since then, it has become one of the most downloaded sports applications, according to data from digital intelligence company Sensor Tower, in a fierce dispute with ESPN +, the streaming service of ESPN, now a company owned by the giant Disney.
So it is no coincidence that DAZN has hired the former ESPN president John Skipper as head of its parent company, DAZN Group.
In 2019, Disney said that it is willing to lose $650 million in revenue to make ESPN + the largest sports streaming in the world, with 12 million subscribers by 2024 (today, the platform has about 3 million users, according to the American press).
DAZN, according to sources heard by the Wall Street Journal in December, in its turn, has about 8 million subscribers in the nine markets in which it is present (Japan, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Canada, USA and Brazil).
In the United States, where each broadcaster or sports organization has launched or is launching its own platform, the fight is especially fierce. The arrival of new companies in the industry in emerging countries and passionate about streaming such as Brazil is a side effect of this war, driven by the continuous digitalization of sport and the expansion of 4G and 5G networks in Latin America.
The secret of DAZN may be in the search for different markets, even before the US. Knowing the audience of each country is essential for a niche streaming platform like DAZN, and for any business that involves the world of sports.
Within the strategy to gain more subscribers, the company has bet on original content not restricted to the platform. Weird? No. DAZN is not known as ESPN and it has a difficult name to pronounce (it’s da-zo-ne, by the way). In Brazil, this use of original content as marketing pieces has been made in the wake of major sporting events or moments in the country.
In the second half of last year, for example, DAZN subscribers were able to follow the seven-episode series on the backstage of Flamengo, Sem Filtro: Flamengo (something like Without a Filter: Flamengo), produced with the Brazilian independent production company Conspiração Filmes. The team won the Brazilian Championship and the Libertadores da América in 2019, becoming a sport sensation throughout the year, but ended up losing the Club World Cup to Liverpool.
In the United States, ESPN has also been betting on original content outside its platform to gain more subscribers. According to an article published by Digiday this Monday (27), ESPN wants to launch 500 programs on its channels on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and others (in 2018, there were 400 programs, and in the previous, half of that). The company also refurbished the studio previously used for the production and broadcast of one of its most famous television shows, “First Take”, to give ESPN’s digital programming a home of its own, over 2,750 square-feet.
If for ESPN this diversification of platforms is necessary for its survival beyond traditional TV, in the case of DAZN, this strategy occurs almost naturally, because the company was born digital. But that does not mean that the challenge of growing in this segment is easier for DAZN.
In Brazil, DAZN will need to win a broadcast monopoly
With the exception of Fox Sports, which broadcast Libertadores last year, almost all major football championships are in the hands of Globo and Turner organizations in the country.
Last year, DAZN “inherited” the transmissions of the Sul-Americana from the former paid channel Esporte Interativo, and closed a contract for the exhibition of the C Series of the Brazilian Championship.
Until it has the Brazil Cup and the A Series of the Brazilian Championship, two competitions tied to Globo and Turner until 2024, however, DAZN will not reach its true potential in the country.
Amir Somoggi, consultant from Sports Value, explains that DAZN has already invested $1 billion worldwide in original content. “But what people really want to watch, in a sports streaming platform, are the games, the competitions, first hand, on the cell phone, on the iPad, wherever they want. It seems to me that if a bigger competitor appears in the world, the DAZN may break. (…) Either the company gives everything it has for the best championships, or it will become a second-tier platform, “says he.
Somoggi explains that with the price reduction that occurred, there was a very sharp drop in the possibility of profitability in Brazil. “The price was completely outside the reality of the streaming model, which has to be cheap, so it may increase (the number of users). But even so, the marketing effort that DAZN will have to capture (new subscribers) can generate a negative result. What I talked to people abroad is that this group is not sustainable in the long term, spending what it is spending to acquire rights on the one hand, and not getting more subscribers on the other,”says the consultant.
For Somoggi, compared to Netflix, which has a very high content acquisition cost and is betting on markets outside the USA to grow even more, DAZN does not seem to be taking advantage of a rising market as the Brazilian one as it should. “Without the Brazilian Championship, without Libertadores, without the World Cup… it is as if Netflix had not bet on the best content in the world to be the biggest”, evaluates Somoggi.
In addition to subscriber revenue, there is also the advertising revenue challenge. “There are several studies that show that no one keeps watching a soccer game all the time on a cell phone. The sponsor knows this. So it is necessary to make new deliveries, outside the broadcast platform, in a close relationship with the subscriber–which, in my opinion, may be the way for these platforms to diversify revenue and not depend so much on the subscriber or on the production of original content.” | <urn:uuid:207f23e6-ea5a-4847-a469-c36e5a6fa76c> | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | https://labs.ebanx.com/en/articles/technology/dazn-sports-streaming-potential-brazil/ | 2020-02-27T05:51:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875146647.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20200227033058-20200227063058-00086.warc.gz | en | 0.966977 | 1,518 |
So this week Matthew has singled out Pharrell Williams as our style icon, and provided a basic guide as to how you can achieve his look. He is an icon for a lot of young males who want to have that “effortless cool” approach to the way they dress. I actually covered him back in the day, so here is what I had to say about Skateboard P:
“His style has evolved from typical basic skateboard/street wear into what I think could be called the modern gentleman. He and Kanye seem to be really upping the fashion stakes for musicians and especially black musicians. When we went through the strong stage of hip hop a few years back – 50 Cent, Jay Z (really improved as well since his Def Jam CEO role), Dre, Snoop and even Eminem – it seemed that to be associated with “black culture” you had to wear baggy jeans, an over sized white t-shirt and some bling. It is a completely different story now with a lot of these artists wanting to become more well rounded business men.
Pharrell to me just oozes cool and style. I haven’t ever seen him when I thought he was just another average man on the street. He has a lot of flair and creativity with his outfits – mixing bold colours, patterns and using key accessories like scarves, sunglasses and watches to really stand out. I think a lot of people who are naturally creative just “know” what works when it comes to expressing themselves through their clothes.”
Everything that was said above is still relevant today, and by Matthew shining the spotlight on him once more, I think it must be a general consensus that his style continues to evolve and stay fresh through each and every season. It just goes to show that even if you have more of a relaxed “street” approach to dressing, it doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice style. You will see in the pictures below that he can pull off a jeans and t-shirt combination as well as anyone by using key accessories and providing splashes of bold colour.
Introduction To Pharrell
Recording artist, producer, musician and fashion designer, Pharrell Williams is a busy man. Well known for being in the band N.E.R.D – and more recently the band Child Rebel Soldier along with Lupe Fiasco and Kanye West – Pharrell is also very talented individual. He has won countless awards as a recording artist and as a musician, but some might not be aware that these aren’t the only awards he has won. In 2005, he was voted the Best Dressed Male by Esquire magazine. He is a very stylish man, and this style is presented not only in the way he dresses, but also in the clothes he designs. He partnered with legendary Japanese designer Nigo (founder of The Bathing Ape/Bape brands) in 2005 to produce two lines of clothing called Billionaire Boys Club and Ice Cream which have only gone from strength to strength and gained a bit of a cult following in America and over here.
“Fashion has to reflect who you are, what you feel at the moment, and where you’re going. It doesn’t have to be bright, doesn’t have to be loud. Just has to be you.” Pharrell Williams.
[Editor: An amazing quote I hadn't read before, but this should be what goes through the mind of EVERY male when they are developing their own personal style.]
Pharrell’s personal style is certainly one you can take inspiration from. He is different to the previous style icons we have had, in that he is a lot more casual in the way he dresses on a day to day basis. That doesn’t mean he cannot do formal though, as you will see from the look book below. His fashion lines concentrate on luxury streetwear as he has said before he wanted to design clothes that he would of loved to have worn when he was younger, but couldn’t afford. The whole range just has Pharrell’s personal stamp all over it, and really brings out the essence of how he would dress on a day to day basis. The whole clothing line is made in very small numbers, which also gives the garments that air of exclusivity that a lot of males strive for in the days of mass produced high street clothing.
The Pharrell Williams Lookbook
Here is the Pharrell Williams lookbook:
As you can see from the photos above, the problem we have this time when picking items is that he is such a chameleon and his look changes each time he steps out of the house. However we are going to go through the basics of his casual and formal looks in order to give you some pointers in how you can achieve a similar style. The key point is to dress for YOU, let your personality shine through and to experiment with accessories and colours. Most of all, be confident in yourself and your look and you will be able to pull off multiple outfits and styles like Pharrell.
Casual Day Wear
His casual day-to-day wear differs greatly from his more formal wear. His casual look generally composes of jeans, a graphic tee and either a zip up hoodie, jacket or baseball jacket. He favours sneakers or hi-tops for his footwear, and the clothing is generally relaxed fitting, but this doesn’t compromise his style. His formal style will normally compose of black leather shoes, jeans, and then a fitted shirt and waistcoat. He often mixes dark jeans with tuxedo jackets and blazers to give him a relaxed formal look which is sharp but doesn’t compromise exactly what his personal style is all about. What we can establish here, is that Pharrell seems to be able to pull off any look he likes with flair.
Key items to get the casual look:
- Printed hoody/zip up jacket
- Printed t-shirt
- Baseball/Leather jacket
- Comfort fit jeans
- Glasses (sunglasses or clear lens)
Pharrell’s fashion line, BBC has the ideal look that we are aiming for. There’s a great range of printed hoodies, tees, jackets and sweats. Here are my favourite that are available online:
ASOS do a great range of baseball jackets that really fit the style that we are aiming for. Here’s my pick of baseball jackets:
Straight or comfort fit jeans are the choice of Pharrell. Keeping it laid back and relaxed is the key in his casual style. There are some amazing designer’s out there who do great washed denim in relaxed fits. You will all have your personal favourites but you cannot beat a pair of PRPS in my eyes. Here are a few brands who do it well right now:
Now the one of the trademarks of Pharrell is the hat. Trucker hats are his style of choice, and he has himself designed a range for BBC and Ice Cream. But you don’t have to always pay the extortionate prices, New Era do an amazing variety of designs and colours as well as designer collaborations and they come in from £25. Here are my pick:
Now this is a man who really knows how to accessorise. Whether you are looking at great eyewear, a funky coloured watch or a tied neckerchief, he always manages to let his creative personality shine through and really make a look his own. The key little details are what takes you from looking good to looking great.
Key items to get the formal look:
- Fitted shirt
- Leather shoes
- Dark wash jeans
- Tailored jacket
- Accessories – can include pocket squares, watches, bow ties etc.
I hope you enjoyed this weeks style icon. Pharrell is an icon for all ages and races, and his whole aura just oozes “cool”. This man is more than just his clothes, but he is definitely someone to take inspiration from in dressing for yourself (and no-one else), and being creative in putting together your look. Strive to be an individual and don’t forget accessories in order to give your outfits that unique finishing touch. | <urn:uuid:129c5eef-4965-45d4-9ab9-03cb51fb5120> | CC-MAIN-2014-23 | http://www.fashionbeans.com/2010/men%E2%80%99s-style-icons-%E2%80%93-pharrell-williams/ | 2014-07-30T19:29:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-23/segments/1406510271648.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20140728011751-00313-ip-10-146-231-18.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.976707 | 1,700 |

─ ensuring every region has access to ICT
─ preparations for 2019 Code Camp underway in Hinterland regions
The Ministry of Public Telecommunications is delivering its mandate to transform Guyana into a fully digitized nation and will focus in 2019 on ensuring that inland and Hinterland regions have equal access to Information and Communication Technologies.
She was delivering the Welcome remarks to a group of University of Guyana lecturers who conducted an in-depth study of the impacts of ICT training courses in 2018 on Guyanese youths. The media was also invited to participate in their presentation of the findings from the study at Colgrain House on Monday January 14.
Minister Hughes stressed that one of the ministry’s main goals remains the re-education of citizens across the country in ICT’s at at least, the use of the Internet.
“Our goal is to reach into every single region, not only to bring the Internet network to their homes and schools, but also to train residents up close and personal, in the usefulness of the Internet in improving their lives and livelihoods, for business and for pleasure,” she stated.
The tremendous response to the various Coding and computer literacy (ICT) camps conducted in 2018 by the Ministry’s Industry and Innovation Department, was very encouraging to the Ministry and pleasing to the University lecturers who had noted that the children took to ICT “like ducks to water”.
Ministerial Advisor in ICTs, Lance Hinds remarked after the lecturers’ presentations that building a viable national ICT workforce is compulsory for Guyana to be able to move forward at the anticipated pace into a developed country. He noted that there exists a number of persons who are interested in or show propensities for ICTs, and that it is the task of the ministry to find these people and nurture those interests. This continues to be an ongoing process that the Ministry takes immense pleasure in.
He disclosed that this year, Code Camps will be taken to the Hinterland regions. The ministry is currently engaging the Iwokrama International Centre in Region 8 which has been identified as a prospective catchment hub, to partner with the MoPT to deliver training modules to students and adult residents of surrounding communities who would be expected to return to their communities to pass on their knowledge.
The ministry is also in the process of sourcing equipment including computers and devices to distribute to participants during and after they have been trained. This way they would be equipped to return to their communities and teach other residents.
“These are the reasons for programmes of this nature – find the gems, identify the talents and devise the means to hone their skills and get them qualified regardless of their circumstances,” he reiterated.
Findings of the Study
The study was conducted in 2018 on the teachings methods used and results derived from the two main projects, ‘Guyanese Girls Code’ and the regional ‘Code Camps’. The lecturers found that the overall response by participants from about age 9 to 15 was very positive. Their eagerness and determination to understand the more difficult elements fostered an environment of collaboration and communication in every classroom. | <urn:uuid:15bc593c-1591-4437-b431-6fd4fcd1bee5> | CC-MAIN-2019-18 | https://mopt.gov.gy/news/public-tel-transforming-guyana-into-a-digitized-society/ | 2019-04-26T14:39:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-18/segments/1555578806528.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20190426133444-20190426155444-00372.warc.gz | en | 0.968235 | 669 |
POLICE have renewed their appeal to drivers in South Tyneside to do their bit to combat car thieves.
Despite a recent warning from officers as part of Operation Mercedes, they say vehicle owners are still leaving goods on show.
Police are investigating three reports of overnight thefts from vehicles on Thursday night in South Shields.
A sat-nav unit was taken from a car in Eyemouth Court, while a bike, stereo, a driver’s licence and a second sat-nav were stolen from two cars in Dovedale Court.
Another car was broken into on Waverdale Way overnight, but nothing appears to have been stolen.
Neighbourhood Inspector Peter Sutton said: “Our patrols are continuing to target thieves intent on stealing from vehicles, but we need the public’s help to ensure they don’t become a victim in the first place.
“Just by carrying out the simple task of removing goods from display, including sat-navs and stereos, drivers are greatly increasing their chances of keeping thieves at bay.”
He added: “Any tell-tale sucker marks from a sat-nav which has been removed can lead thieves to rummage in glove boxes for the device.
“People should make sure they are also removed.”
Anyone with information about the thefts should contact police on 101, extension 69191. | <urn:uuid:797f770d-942d-44c8-926d-0635187810be> | CC-MAIN-2016-07 | http://www.shieldsgazette.com/news/crime/police-repeat-warning-on-car-break-ins-1-5398959 | 2016-02-06T00:14:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-07/segments/1454701145578.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20160205193905-00232-ip-10-236-182-209.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.967716 | 282 |
Pirate’s Treasure slot machine welcomes players aboard of Queen Anne’s Revenge, a flagship of Blackbeard, one of the most terrible pirates in the history.
It’s up to you whether to join the deadly dangerous pirates or fight against them. The one thing is guaranteed: you’ll have fun and recharge with positive emotions while playing.
Piracy appeared almost at the same time when the first ships were launched into the water. However, it was legalized only after the Crusades.
Anna, Queen of the Great Britain, issued a state license for robbery licenses to all comers, because pirates had to share the grabbed wealth with the Crown.
The Pirate’s Treasure slot machine tells a story about the Blackbeard, the most known pirate in the history, who ruled the waters for more than 5 years. However, he wasn’t as insane as most people used to think. According to eyewitnesses, he always tried to avoid bloodshed. If the ship surrendered without a fight, the pirates took away the cargo and part of the provisions and let it go.
As you see, the frightening team is quite noble, and you will have quite a solid chance to enrich until you stick to the local rules.
The slot machine is available in two modes, monetary and free, and you can choose the latter either if you want to familiarize with the gameplay or just unwilling to spend money.
Pirate’s Treasure slot machine stake limits and other important technical characteristics:
- 5 reels and 25 paylines. You can activate either 1 or 5 or 9 or 13 or 15 or 21 paylines.
- The lowest line bet is 1
- The highest line bet is 100.
- The highest total bet is 2100.
- The Jackpot is 5000x the bet.
- Auto-Play and Gamble Game supported.
Once you’re on shipboard, you should get acquainted with the team and, ideally, befriend some of its members. Here playing cards will come in handy. If you manage to collect 3 to 5 of either Aces or Kings or Queens within a payline, from the leftmost reel to the right, you’ll get paid as much as 3, 5 or 20 times the bet. Not too much, but playing cards appear every now and again and are quite profitable in the long run.
Mid- and high-paying symbols are represented with cannons, compasses, parrots, and images of a beautiful lady (probably the captain’s beloved one):
- Either cannons or compasses: 5, 25, 100.
- Parrots: 20, 100, 500.
- Portraits of a beautiful lady in a freaky hat: 30, 250, 1000.
- Wild is Blackbeard himself. Surprisingly, even a single image will bring you winnings. 1 to 5 Wilds will pay 2, 5, 100, 500 or 5000, the Jackpot of the game. Traditionally, Wild can replace any other regular symbol to improve already existing or create new winning combinations.
- Scatter is a chest of treasures. It plays in any position and brings as much as 2, 10 or 50. 3 to 5 Scatters trigger a round of 10 free spins. The Free Spins round can be retriggered.
- The Bonus symbol is a ship. It appears only on the 1st and the 5th reel (in both the main game and the Free Spins round) and can trigger a bonus game.
Any winning gives you a chance to participate in Gamble Game. The essence of the risk-round is that you have to reveal the card higher than the dealer’s one. If you succeed, you can either continue gambling (up to the 500x the bet) or take the win and get back to the main game.
The Pirate’s Treasure slot machine is for those who love pirate films and dream of trying the role of a fearless pirate. The Jackpot of 5000 bets speaks for itself. | <urn:uuid:1d33b6d6-baf3-48b7-88b2-df70a245dbb2> | CC-MAIN-2018-39 | https://free-slots-uk.com/pirate-treasures.html | 2018-09-19T08:47:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-39/segments/1537267156096.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20180919083126-20180919103126-00060.warc.gz | en | 0.933726 | 827 |
